There's a lot more to learning scripting than this...seems rather lacking. What about simple things like indenting your code? What about metatables, OOP, et cetera? There's so many gaps here, and things like "leaderboard script" and "admin commands script" are thrown in with skills. Weird.

Rank 6 is only intermediate scripting in my opinion. Like he said, there's so many more things to Lua.

See, the problem with everyone here is that you assume "advanced topics" are "advanced topics".... Metatables aren't advanced. They're pointless when it comes to developing games. They're merely a convenience. I don't usually classify "conveniences" as advanced.

OOP is also a convenience. Doing either of these things won't make a difference in your game what so ever.

What you need to focus on are the beginning things that you can delve into. For example: CFrame.

Obviously CFrame isn't a one and done thing, it's all of Mathematics.

Another example would be Camera and Mouse.

You can do a lot with those two in your games that are advanced.

Some topics might be harder to understand than others, and you learn them later in your coding life, but that doesn't mean they're more advanced.

I could make 1+1=3 using Custom Environments......... Great... How would that ever help me in developing a popular game?

However, I could animate a Dragon flying through a city and destroying it.... Seems a bit more useful yet still just as complicated, just in a different way.

Long story short, don't assume something is "advanced" just because it sounds cool. CFrame doesn't sound cool, yet you could start a project that could take weeks to develop in order to look good.

Bet you can't.

Make this: local x = 1+1 end up resulting in x being set to 3.hahah

local g={}
setfenv(1,setmetatable({print=print},{__newindex=function(t,i,v) local r=setmetatable({},{__add=function(a,b)return(g[a]+g[b])^2-1 end}) g[r]=v rawset(t,i,r)end}))
a=1
b=1
print(a+b)

You were saying?

I was saying you have no idea what you're talking about and that you might be illiterate.

"Make this: local x = 1+1 end up resulting in x being set to 3."
not
"Make this: x = 1 y = 1 print(x+y) being set to 3"

My method is the only possible method within Lua.

And please do not insult me. It gets us nowhere.

Your method is not "the only possible method in Lua" and your method does not cause "1+1" to equal 3.

Your words, not mine: "I could make 1+1=3" when you did "I could make x+y=3"

x = 1
y = 1
x+y = 3

Ergo, "1 + 1 = 3".

I'm not quite understanding why you're continuing with this argument...

It's not an argument, you can't say that
"x = 1 y = 1 x+y=3" is the same as "1+1=3" because it's not, this is Lua not algebra.

You're arguing illogically, claiming that "1+1=3" was done when in reality it wasn't.

You're clearly just threatened by anyone that knows something that you don't. That's why you're going out of your way to prove me wrong.

If I were you, I'd stop now. Please attempt to remain mature.

Let me ask you something.

If I have a variable: x

If I set x to 1.

What's the value of x?

Should be 1, right?

What if I had a variable: y

And I set y to 1...

Is y anything but 1? No...

What I add them together...

Shouldn't that be x + y?

What's x...
1
What's y...
1
So.... Shouldn't that be.... 1 + 1?

Holy crap you're an idiot.
Yeah you're right, I haven't done this before (http://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=117629225, look at the bottom).

Clearly you're making a fool out of yourself.

he already told you this is lua, not algebra, yet here you go on again trying to use mathematics and not lua, when the discussion is about lua, and not mathematics

No, because x and y do not equal 1 after you 'set them to 1.'

You see that 'comma' at the end of the link? Use your brain and remove it.

And yes, I'm "wrong" for stating the obvious that "x=1 y=1" does not set x to 1 and y to 1. You can't generalize that as 1+1=3 because IT'S NOT 1.
