I probably used the wrong terminology but whatever...
Could I do this:

Lava = game.Workspace.Lava:GetChildren()

for i = 1, #Lava do
Lava.Touched:connect(DEATH(hit))
end

If I can't do that, how could I do the same thing in another way?

You also just make a function like:

for ______ do
v.Touched:connect(function(p)
--blah
end)
end

however doing ur way might look cleaner.

You could do that but it will error if anything in Lava is not a part. If it's a script or a model or something else, it will error because you can't touch those objects.

Lava = game.Workspace.Lava:GetChildren()

for i = 1, #Lava do
if Lava[i]:IsA("Part") then--checks to see if it's a part.
Lava[i].Touched:connect(DEATH(hit)
--code
end)
end
end

Ummm . . .

Yes they do? Because

1. What if he didn't know that?

2. What if he forgot and needed a memory?

3. What if someone else looked at this thread and didn't know that before?

That's your personality? Man, I feel bad for your parent then.

"y this no worky
game.me:god()
"

Of course you wouldn't help. I wouldn't help too because who ever wrote that didn't even try to make it work.

"When do I know when to put function when I don't eve know what it means"

"Even know what it means."

Can't you just say the definition of a function???

Agreed with miz, su you are spamming because this guy who made this thread asked for something miz answered and helped and you told him what the point is, that is so pathetic.

@orange

They do. But it's mostly used in generic for loops.

well.. in theory im not inside anything so i can't get "out"

Now that is a troll. No one likes you dude. If you can't help get out. That's why it's called "Scripting helpers".
