It’s a for loop. It iterates through each item in the array “brickColors.” Index is the location of each item within the array, and value is each item in the array.
So basically the code runs once for each item in the array.
Yeesh I did a bad job explaining such a simple concept. If you don’t understand, let me know and I’ll elaborate.
im sorry i dont really understand
Yeah, I think that’s my fault. I’ll try breaking down how it works for you:
brickColors is a list of brickColors
the for loop runs a bit of code for each item in brickColors
here’s what the for loop does:
index is 1, value is BrickColor.Red()
Wait 2 seconds
set the baseplate’s BrickColor to value
value is BrickColor.Red(), so the baseplate’s BrickColor is set to BrickColor.Red()
index is 2, value is BrickColor.Blue()
Wait 2 seconds
set the baseplate’s BrickColor to value
value is BrickColor.Blue(), so the baseplate’s BrickColor is set to BrickColor.Blue()
Repeat 4 more times, once for each brickColor
There is a list with a bunch of colors. The “values” variable stores the color. The for loop goes through each item in the list and sets value to the corresponding color. Then the baseplate.BrickColor thing sets the baseplates color to the value in the list.
@anon44124357 correct me if Im wrong.
That’s correct. Thanks for putting it into words, I’m kinda crap at explaining things.
i understand the rest but what exactly does this mean
Index is an object’s place within an array. For example, BrickColor.Green() has an index of 3 because it’s the third item in an array.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ok i get it now
tysm
alr i made a scoring system and disappearing parts. scores go up by 2 every second. when you fall and die the points are reset.
been working on this for 6 hours (not because i cant just copy the code from a different source, but bc its difficult for me to understand)
this part was OK, it was mostly the “for” command that confused me. but i get it now. i think
i have been coding all day and i think it is time to sleep. i learned a LOT of information today (90% will be gone by tomorrow i guarantee it) and im still not 100% sure on a few things (parameters are a bitch tbh) but i am glad i took today to do absolutely nothing but code. although, i really hope i actually learned something and didn’t just stare at a code pretending to understand it. im going to try going without a guide tomorrow to see how much information i kept retained.
i doubt i remember all of it, if anything ill probably remember how to store data and make parts dissapear. thats okay tho, im not trying to remember everything, just trying to make sense of it so it will be easier in the long run.
i am pretty proud of myself but also simultaneously pissed off at myself for feeling stupid.
tomorrow as well as the following 2 weeks im not going to be coding all day bc i have band camp, however i will still find time to post my progress.
(btw if anyone is wondering im using this as my guide: Learn Roblox)
oh dear this is a long post, sorry.
tldr; coding is confusing and im tired.
devforum in AO forums
also check out what i made: Reusable Stalactite Trap - Cool Creations - DevForum | Roblox
oh thats really cool. i hope ill eventually be able to make things like that.
okay, this took a good 2 minutes to make, just trying to get my brain woken up b4 i work on something confusing.
(btw if you don’t know how to script and want to participate, just reply with something you would like to see done. )
made a little shop, i think im gonna try and work on it soon, but for now its just the door that opens.
It’s always great seeing someone else learn how to code, kudos to you and good luck! Due to irl reasons (moving) I haven’t been able to practice regularly a few weeks after i’ve made this post. Maybe i’ll get back to learning tmrr lol.
thanks so much! good luck to you too!
also, i looked at your post and am now using the plugin, so thanks!
mk. ive been following this scripting practice plugin for awhile (Studio+ was in a post made by SavageWind) and i learned a few new things like Enums and Intvalues. im not going to post any videos for it tho bc i didnt create the models for it. i will post a guided script that i was working on though.
i thought the shop looked stupid so i changed it.
man. this is actually not that bad. i thought flickering the light would be some complicated mess but its really not difficult at all:
happy with my progress, although i don’t think i learned enough today. going to bed now.
made more of this shop. at first i tried putting this script into a part that when touched would open the chat gui, but then decided to put a local script into the startergui that does the same thing. this way, a chat gui would not appear on everyone’s screen, just the individual.
