Basically, everyone here seems to have a bit head... we all suck at scripting (me included... you included...) compared to all the adults of Roblox, so I created this to blow your head (ego) down a lot. And I'm not writing this because I think I'm better than you - because I'm NOT! Anyways...
Think you know a lot about scripting? Here's some random scripting questions... if you can answer them all without using Google or any helping sources, then you're a true boss at scripting...
ANYWAYS!!!
What are 6 different types of scripting (there's more than six out there, and don't look at any questions before you've given up/answered this one... there's hints later on that you shouldn't see)?
Why does loadstring()() require the extra ()?
What/is there a difference between Java and JavaScript?
What does lookVector do?
What does TweenPosition do?
Do anti-lag scripts work?
What's false in Byte? What is true in Btye?
How do you use moving GIFs with HTML?
What are 3 ways to index strings with Lua?
What does gsub do?
If you got all of these, I'll think up some more later...
I made the answers, but Roblox wouldn't let me post 'em... sorry. Anyways... think you know scripting? THINK AGAIN!!! |

A: Not sure what you mean, so I'm taking a guess: GUIs, Body Objects, Weapons/Tools/HopperBins, CFrame, Vector3, HaxMaths (advanced math) A2: If the above is incorrect .... : Lua, JavaScript, VBScript, Python, Ruby, ActionScript (1, 2, 3.0).
Why does loadstring()() require the extra ()?
A: It returns a function.
What/is there a difference between Java and JavaScript?
A: JavaScript is a web-based language. Java is a standalone language. Both are object-oriented, and both have similar syntax. Java has a stricter syntax.
What does lookVector do?
A: Returns the direction of the CFrame. Also the direction a Part's Front face is pointing.
What does TweenPosition do?
A: Moves a GUI object in a fluent motion, using different 'steps' to move the GUI to make it look like it's gliding along the screen.
Do anti-lag scripts work?
A: Umno.
What's false in Byte? What is true in Btye?
A: false: 0 true: 1 (correction: Bit*)
How do you use moving GIFs with HTML?
A: [img src="GIFIMAGE.gif" /img]
What are 3 ways to index strings with Lua?
A: Not sure what you mean, but here's a guess (only two): Object[String], Object.String
What does gsub do?
A: Searches through the supplied string, looking for each occurance of a supplied pattern, replacing the found pattern with the supplied replacement, with a maximum of all or n amount of matches (if n is supplied. Returns a copy of the string with all replacements, as well as the number of matches found. |

100% basically... other than the fact that you replied and gave away all the answers... And also... by the string one I mean things like " " and [[ ]] and ' ', that basic kinda' stuff... and nice to actually see a person who knows all this stuff, instead of just saying "Y34H 1 C4N SCR1PT!1!!!1!11!!!1 IV3 B33N D01NG 1T 4 1 M0NTH N40!!! G1MM3 T1X PL0X?", but that actually knows about scripting. :) |

Some of us do know how to code.... but the fact is we learn it on our own time, Most adults do it for a living... |

Ah. For a clearer question, I suggest 'What are 3 ways to instantiate (or, create) a string?'
It's kind of hard not to know all that stuff when I've been programming (scripting and programming, as well as markup) for over 10 years. |

Guys, we are talking about scripting. Not Java, which is a programming language. Not MC, which doesn't have scripting, or Skyrim, which although it is epic, doesn't belong here.
Things not about scripting in your quiz:
"What are 6 different types of scripting (there's more than six out there, and don't look at any questions before you've given up/answered this one... there's hints later on that you shouldn't see)?" __ We're using Lua, and there are thousands of ways (or types of languages) to add a scripting language to your game.
What's false in Byte? What is true in Btye? __ Byte code is about to be removed, and no one programs in byte
How do you use moving GIFs with HTML? __ We are not using HTML or inserting GIFs into our game....
Although, I liked the quiz. :) Just needs a new title.
It's a love-hate relationship.... |

Why does loadstring()() require the extra ()? Because loadstring returns a function, which can be used to check for syntax errors.
What/is there a difference between Java and JavaScript? Java is an OOP language and is multi-platformed, while JavaScript is just website programming.
What does lookVector do? Returns either a CFrame value or a Vector3 value of which way the part is facing.
What does TweenPosition do? It is a function that applies to any GuiObject to essentially "animate" a growth or shrink the GuiObject.
Do anti-lag scripts work? Yes and no. Depends if you have a real one or not.
What's false in Byte? Run this in a Java IDE...
System.out.println( (byte)false );
What is true in Btye? Run this in a Java IDE...
System.out.println( (byte)true );
How do you use moving GIFs with HTML? I don't think anybody really cares enough for me to answer....
What are 3 ways to index strings with Lua? index == something in a table, not a string.
What does gsub do? Replaces a certain pattern with another.
Next time, just ask for direct questions. |
