function x()
-- change properties
end


local brick = workspace.Part

brick.Touched:connect(x) -- connects the function 'x' so whenever brick is touched it will run the function's code

What you may have seen before are anonymous functions. The difference between an anonymous function and a named function is that the named one can be indexed through its name.
Example:


function hi() -- this is named 'hi'
print("Hi")
end


script.Parent.Touched:connect(function() -- this is anonymous because it has no name.

end)

Use the roblox wiki. The bottom of almost all object pages has a list of detailed events that you can connect to a function. Just for reference.

Drake, while I certainly admire your desire to learn Lua, you must recognize that acquiring scripting knowledge from a sole perspective will likely limit your individual progression greatly, given that interaction with a single individual may directly expose you to potentially-negative bias and logical-restraint.

I would personally suggest that you consider acquiring information regarding "pure" Lua and interacting with knowledgeable users to clarify your knowledge of the concepts on an occasional basis only.

Here is a link to a subjectively "excellent" resource shown below:
