here is a shitty guide to lua scripting that i have put no effort in. go cry about it.
– console stuff
print(“prints”)
warn(“pretty much just a yellow print”)
– variables
local newBool = false → Bool type
local newInt = 78 → Int type
local newStr = “Hello, world” → Str type
– if, else, else if
– and → self explained: if val1 == 7 and val2 == 7 then return end
– or → self explained: if val1 == 7 or val2 == 7 then return end
– < → less than: if 7 < 8 then return end
– > → greater than: if 7 > 6 then return end
– >= → greater than or equal to: if 7 >= 6+1 then return end
– <= → less than or equal to: if 7 <= 5+1 then return end
– == → equal to: if 7+7 == 14 then return end
– ~= → not equal to: if 7+7 ~= 15 then return end
– examples
if newBool == false then
print(“setting newBool to true and adding 1 to newInt”)
newBool = true
newInt++ – or newInt = newInt + 1
else
print(“setting newBool to false and taking 2 from newInt”)
newBool = false
newInt = newInt - 2
end
if newInt == 79 then
print(“newInt is 79 and this check has passed”)
elseif newInt == 77 then
print(“newInt is 77 and the first check didn’t pass”)
elseif newInt == 78 then
print(“newInt is 78 and the first two checks didn’t pass”)
else
print(“newInt’s value is unknown as none of the checks passed”)
end
– while loops
— this will crash the game. always include a wait() inside the loop
while true do
print(“loop”)
end
— correct
while wait() do
print(“loop”)
end
OR
while true do
print(“loop”)
wait()
end
— wait() can also take a parameter (Int) → wait(1), wait(0.1), wait(10)
– functions
function addInteger(a, b)
print(a + b)
return
end
— a function can also be placed in a variable
local func2 = function
print(“this function is inside a variable”)
return
end
– calling a function
addInteger(1, 2)
— more advanced things will be in the next guide → for loops, game services, math, other stuff maybe
