Roblox Lua Tutorials - 6: if, else and elseif statements

[JohnMerdo]

ive been watching this nonstop! its very helpful, but ineed a break. Time to play some already scripted games

@DanAppStu It stands for 'Not In List' in Pascal, which is an old programming language, but not in Lua or any other language I know.

[ThePighead]

@DanAppStu I'm going in an order that doesn't cover random things unless necessary on purpose, the only tutorial I was forced to do that in was the 'built-in functions' tutorial. I'm teaching scripting in Roblox, and the idea is once you've learnt enough you'll be able to work out how to weld objects by yourself.

[yoyobeerman]

thanks man your realy helping me with scripting XD

[ThePighead]

@DanAppStu nil DOES NOT stand for Not In List. It's an adjective for 'non-existent' or the noun for 'zero'.

[cardgamechampion]

Yes you can. To do this you would need a function (in the next tuturial). LOL, I am advertising thepighead's vids :P.

Can you make where you step on a block and it changes the variable is == to a different number?

[zekromk]

Okay.
That makes things easier for me.
I have said nasty things to that guy below, (Not Tempodoa).

[zekromk]

So basically scripting is a whole bunch of simple things mixed together to make complicated and very good games. Am I right?

[zekromk]

@ThePigHead10
Is this stuff easy for you? Or is it just one sort of 'building block' for making games?

[eee]

If I put a as a random value using random(100, 1) will it still work?

[ikyogre]

You can, buts thats pointless and time waisting. Just do somthing like


myproblem = 1 * 2 [ Replace the 1 * 2 with the problem]
print (myproblem)

[acarroll]

The "If" statement is EXACTLY like

[tempodoafromroblox]

So you can use Lua Scripting as a calculator xD?
