๐Ÿ“Œ Daily #Roblox scripting thread 6! โœจ

๐Ÿ” FOR-LOOPS #๏ธโƒฃ

๐Ÿ‘‡ A #RobloxDev thread!
๐Ÿ” The for-loop is used to ITERATE a certain number of times.

๐Ÿค” But what does "iterating" mean?

โ™ป๏ธ It means for the loop to "run" or "refresh"
2๏ธโƒฃ There are two use cases for the for-loop

๐Ÿ” The first one is to loop, or iterate, a set number of times.

โœ… WHILE LOOPS ๐Ÿ”

A #RobloxDev thread ๐Ÿ‘‡
While loops, or "while-true-do" loops, are one of the simplest loops in Lua. โœจ

They're like if-statements, but they check the condition infinitely until stopped. ๐Ÿ”

Here's an example ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
If the condition is true, the code inside the loop will run. ๐Ÿ‘

If it's false, the loop will check again the next frame! ๐Ÿ”

This means that any code AFTER the loop will NEVER run, unless the loop is stopped. โŒ

#๏ธโƒฃ TABLE INDEXING AND MORE ๐Ÿ”ข

๐Ÿ‘‡ A #RobloxDev thread!
We've already talked about the difference between arrays and dictionaries and about what an index and value is. ๐Ÿค”

Today, I'll be covering the more advanced stuff like inserting new values into a table and more! ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ—„๏ธ VARIABLES ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘‡ A #RobloxDev thread! Image
Variables - their purpose is to store data inside a script. ๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธ

They consist of a name and a value. ๐Ÿค”

Their name is used to ACCESS the variable (read or write) and their value can be a number, string, boolean or even a table. I'll go over all the types later ๐Ÿ‘‡
The name of a variable can contain any alphanumerical characters, but must NOT START with a number! ๐Ÿ”ข

It can also include an underscore โž–

One of my thumbnails has changed an entire Roblox video's performance

โณ Steal the process of how I did it: (thread)

1. Straight To The Point

In your thumbnail, you always need to be straight to the point. The old thumbnail had no association with the title or video itself, which is why it didn't do very good in the first place (the only thing related would've been the $ sign).
2. Background

The background itself is unique, as it's not a background with green grass and blue sky, but instead green grass and brown background, which made it more unique than video thumbnails
