what the heck even with pcall

using pcall has to be one of the easiest parts of Rblx Lua that I have ever utilized

If we're talking about programming as a whole, then memory management as a whole (pointers, addressing, endianness, blah blah).

But of course it's a lot more abstract in Lua and I think I have a decent understanding of how Lua handles memory.

So I would say my weakest area in Lua is string manipulation. Which is kind of lame but I never really cared enough about it to learn

saying using pcall is advanced is like saying using print is advanced as they're both global functions

I believe that
lua is a simple language, there are no "truly advanced" as in difficult topics
anything can be made more "advanced", it depends on your implementation and needs

now to answer your question, I can't do vector math either and I'm horrible at trying to convert the 2d math taught in school into 3d world

My stuff usually works exactly how I want it to, but it never looks good.
I can't do effects or make tools and such, which makes pretty much all my script useless.

What good is a good game idea with a blank or ugly map?

after having fun with roblox scripting for as long as I can remember, and covering almost every single part of it, there are 2 concepts that still frustrate me to death when I try to understand them: weak tables and string patterns

expanding on the string patterns thing, I'd rather write a horrible abomination made up of an uncountable amount of string.sub lines and 100 nested conditionals (and that's what all my string manipulation code looks like) than touch gsub
