To keep this short: what kind of tutorials does the ROBLOX Wiki lack that you've come across looking for?

In depth string manipulation, like the w% stuff, then when I see it on the Lua website, they never explain what they're doing, although they explain the w% stuff.

Animation in general. How to change the roblox animation script, and how to create an animation for guns and such. I know it involves welds and motors, which the wiki says almost nothing about. And when it does, it doesn't explain anything, just kind of hopes you understand. I would like to know how to weld arms to make a gun holding position, and how to create animations with guns.

TheAwesomedude, use CFrame; I doubt that we would be able to use animations.

I can't do anything in animation. I'd just look at my next scripting task and say, "Yup, i'm done for the day."

I don't think Awesome is referring to actual animations, but the manipulation of welds and such.

I'll give you my way of how I use animation for a player using a tool; put this in the command bar.

arm = game.Selection:Get()[1] torso = game.Workspace.Torso

print(arm.CFrame - torso.Position)

Of course it will print out the cframe, so what you do next is put it in a table and run it with a generic for.

That's how I do it. :P

Do you mean wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Function_Dump/String_Manipulation
And I don't mean just w%
I mean all of them, like a list of them, so s% a%, etc.

animating with welds :

1. create a tweening function
2. set key values for in between your CFraming with the command bar
3. connect it to an event

done.
