That's weird, because $ looks like an operator, and $ isn't an operator for anything.

It has no meaning in lua except for string manipulation ( unless I'm very sadly mistaken ) most likely it has something to do with corescripts.

It's a glitch. It can be used for commenting if you want, but it doesn't have any real use.

Cant be used for commenting....Brings up an error...For some strange reason i wast to say something to do with constants but i hav eno idea where thats coming from. I also know in php u use $_POST or $_GET (assuming these are similar which they could be as there are similarities between most languages ie != is not equal to (unlike the RBX.lua ~=)) It could have something to so with inter script communication? thats a bit of a wild guess but what else have we got? ima gonna keep looking...I probable thing that beecaise of the _G in lua buut anywauz..

One of the "good scripters" like Animus or someone said it is used to execute certain functions.

are you mixing up php with lua?
$_GET and $_POST are dynamic variables in php, not lua

Well I'm basing this off of Java, but I think it's just for declaring a variable.
