this guys obsession with hotdogs is beginning to worry me

i struggled a bit but i rewatched some of these and now am able to make a gate that you cant go through normally, but when you touch a key, it changes apparence and lets you walk through it. i wanted to say these are some of the best scripting tutorials out there, even if they are 5 years old.

oh geez i took a break from watching these and came back and forgot that he has an obsession with hotdogs-

For anyone that's confused on the first part where the script says hotdogs = hotdogs + 1, basically what its saying is to add 1 hotdog on the first line until it hits 5

"It will crash my game" Me: Wot I just ran it My game: Ight Imma crash

"I'm so pissed at my dog barking!!!" *A fEw mOmenTs laTeR "let's make a variable, we'll call it local HOTDOG" Me: OoooOookay Buddy.

I'm learning so much from these tutorials. Off of learning repeat loops I was able to create a basic blinking light :local light = game.Workspace.light.PointLight local finish = 1 repeat light.Enabled = true wait(2) light.Enabled = false finish = finish + 1 wait(2) print(finish) until finish == 20

just for anyone starting off I recommend you get into the practice of naming your variables relating to the what they actually mean so if you have a variable that just defines the location of a part then name it the name of the part

TheDevKing: “print.. HOTDOGS” Ty btw 😂

To get a better understanding of while and repeat While is loops are loops that are active when the condition is at that point. Think of it as a if statement Repeat loops are loops that are ended when a condition has happened

Are you going to continue to make videos? They're really helpful! Thanks a lot, hope u post more!

i watched other scripting tutorial but it's like noob scripting and i seen while true do and now im watching u and u have good tutorials :D

literally everyone here: makes cool scripts Me: makes 100 lines long useless scripts that rarely work

Notes: While loops repeat the code forever until its false. While [something to check for] do [code] End The code will repeat forever until the thing it checks for is false If the while loop goes on forever infinitely fast (without waiting in any part of the code) then the game will crash because infinate things are happening at once infinite times. To avoid this, you can put in a wait function While [something that is always true] do wait() [code] End (For something that is always true, you can just put true, or something like 3 == 3) So what will happen, is the code will repeat forever, but wait every time it runs. If you write wait(2) it will wait two second, and you can write any number you want, even numbers smaller than one, but if you keep it empty then it will be the smallest number the program can possibly run. So it will be extremely fast, without crashing Repeat loops; Repeat loops will run forever until something happens. Example: Repeat [code] Until 2 == “lol” So the loop will run forever, but stop when lol is 2

I just found out your main channel is tapwater

TheDevKing: *Puts the condition of the while command to "true"* The computer: What's being set to true?

WHY DID YOU TELL ME MY GAME WAS GONNA CRASH AFTER I RAN IT!!!! But fr this man has the best tutorials ever!!!

0:38 my heart sank and I thought he was going to say 'my dog died'

Make more video's! Btw, you have earned my subscribe!

ok i love the way u explain loop functions in this bc i have created 3 games in unity using c# and couldn't understand those functions until this video. Keep up the good work m8 your tutorials is a good place for anyone to start who wants to learn lua.

dev king - this was my 5th time recording this video - dev kings dog - no this was his 15th time HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

I think repeat loops could be used to make mobile buttons for guns Like repeat Until button pressed = false

for anyone wondering about the For loops, this is kinda how they work: for count = 10, 0, -1 do print(count) wait(1) end This is a countdown timer where the For loop will run until the countdown reaches 0. 10 is the starting number (first value), 0 is the number we will stop at (second value) and -1 is the rate at which we will tick the count down by (third value). Print it and use a wait function set to 1. Boom! I can't really explain For loops very well but this is a basic run down of what its like! =)

OMG this video helped so much i was messing around and i was trying to loop a brick and i did stuff and i kept watching ur series and i tried this on my script

I had no experience at all with scripting at the begining of this series. Thx for the vids.

while true do print("TheDevKing is cool") wait() end

i understand the reapet loop you just type in repeat then you type what you want it to repeat and when youre done you just type in what thats gona stop it on the right side of until!

For anyone confused, repeat loops can be considered as the opposite of while do's. Repeat loops run a certain code "until" keyword "until" a certain condition is met. And in this case the condition will never be met resulting in an infinite loop of printing the variable.

Hello, I hope you wont mind a little feedback on your tutorials that may help you to grow as in instructor. I have been watching this playlist up until now and I have noticed a few things. First, you tend to speak very fast and erratic. Practicing a more casual pace, may help you reduce not only speaking errors, but with typing and coding errors as well. In addition, a more planned out script or outline may help you to use less "filler words" like GUYS, UM, WHATEVER, etc. The most important thing about an educational video isn't how much you can cram into a single 3 minutes, but how much the student can absorb about the subject. Second, while making a continuous video is admirable, don't be hesitant to cut out the errors. Students seeing these are most likely making an IMPRINT in their mind about these lessons. A faux pas can imprint just as easily for a first time student, and that can make all their future uses difficult. It is ok to mention the error in the reshoot, like "You don't need parentheses after this function call in this case and that is a common mistake, so be sure you note that," but to show 3 wrong attempts and 1 working will always lead to a few students remembering incorrectly which was the proper procedure. Lastly, your students will benefit from a few extra seconds of explanation in all things. Saying "just do this and it's not important why for now" is a difficult process for our minds to handle in most cases. Teaching is about giving and receiving information, and for that, a certain level of trust is ALWAYS under a natural level of scrutiny. Once a student's mind is in a defensive position, they may not be as receptive. It is better to give a brief explanation followed by reassurance that that will be covered more in depth later on in the course and it is ok if the students don't fully understand as long as they know the basic info. For instance, here, you mention the 3 types of loops, but you never specified the basic programming principles in why 3 loops exist, and how they are different. The main important point would be to say that a REPEAT loop, will ALWAYS run once, but FOR and WHILE loops are conditional. As a side note, I would also suggest you pre-plan the names of your variables within the lecture, and maybe even take some time to plan out a real world use for each lesson. One can only hear HOTDOG so many times before it becomes confusing. If you just like the word HOTDOG as a variable try to still work that into a situation like a game about a hotdog stand, so HOTDOGS is the number you have left in the cart, and your IF statements and functions can be local function RESTOCK(Item, qty) or local function COUPON(Item, discount, DoP), where you can pass in the item, and a quantity to fill the inventory, or you can get back a reduced price for an item by passing in the item, the discount, and a switch for Dollars off, or Percent off respectively. I mean all of this only as constructive criticism for a young educator who shows great potential. Keep up the good work and never stop learning. Have a great day.

What i don’t get is what the printing actually do, like what is it doing in the game, how is it helping u etc..

Ohhh now I know why Var1+1 wont work its because I need Var1 = Var1 + 1

im writing down everything on a paper so then i remeber thank you devking you are awsome 😀

Ok now it finally works: While true do Script.parent.Sound.Playing = true task.wait(2) end Now i can play the sound effect with a bit of a gap like i wanted.

"My dog wouldn't shut up" had me dying 😂😂😂

I made my own board that displays how old the server is with just this video because it was so well explained! No need for KZfaq tutorials anymore :D

its good if you want do something like cant die until wait(3) so like this repeat wait() until wait(3)

Thanks for another good tutorial :)

i thought you was finna say that yo dog died

local X = 1 -- variable = 1 repeat X = X + 1 -- it adds 1 to the variable value every time it fires until X == 3 -- it will stop at 3 if X == 3 then -- checking if X = 3 print("X equals three") -- if then it will print, like a train that goes from one station to another end

While loops were real fun to use in Python when our school taught us. I remember me and my dumb friends trying to crash our Computer Lab PCs and we failed for not being able to run multiple of them at once. Still a funny memory in my opinion.

2:22 Or, you could do hotdogs += 1. It would still add 1 to the hotdog variable

So I stopped watching vids for tutorials and found out the dev page and lua learning on roblox are great resources and I would suggest them

for anyone whos wondering why this isnt working for you its because lua has changed just a bit instead of putting **do** after hotdogs < 5 put it before hotdogs = hotdogs + 1

What happened to the series?

you can also do hotdogs += 1 (I know python and there is a lot that is the same.)

It crazy i learned so much just watching your tutorials!

When he said he won’t run the code because it will crash his game I ran it before he said that and now my screen is frozen…😢

for some reason i don't have an output, but your videos taught me so much

Idk if you still read the comments to this video since it was made in 2018 but thanks this helped out a lot!

You need to put waits in loops because i didn't and it crashed(not only studio)my computer and i needed to force shutdown.

i made a count down timer with this local timer = 10 repeat print (timer) timer = timer - 1 wait (1) until timer == 0 if timer == 0 then print ("go!") end

I guess using Scratch for 3 years and 8 months helped me quite a lot with these tutorials, I basically have to remember the syntax now.

The repeat until loop is easy to use . it indeeds will run the function between there once even if the value is already above the until loop. for example: local t = 1 repeat print('REPEAT LOOP: ', t) t= t+1 until t == 5 in this case it will print 1 2 3 4 and then t reaches 5 and goes on in the script. so instead of the for loop that will look if the statement is true the while loop just goes 1 times true the function and then checks. if the statement (t) is 5 the for loop indeed does the same but stops at the counter of 5 and the repeat untill will stop at 4 that should be explained enough i think Still like your videos mate they are good for beginner script learning in roblox :) :)

I don't know why I like this so much local num1 = 1 while num1 < 10 do print(num1) wait(.1) num1 = num1 + .1 end print("Finished!")

thank you for teaching me, i made a part that disappear and appear in roblox :D

2:27 Just discovered you can also do hotdogs +=1 to increment it by 1

If you want a repeat loop to go for ever then you cando repeat (script) until nil . Nil makes it go forever sense its nothing

Made a 5 minute timer from a bit of scripting knowledge, mixed with the help of your videos Seconds = 60 Minutes = 4 while Minutes

This is my second time watching through and everything makes so much more sense

After learning this I made an blinking light! Code: local light = game.Workspace.Light local function BlinkLight() light.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic light.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255) light.Anchored = true repeat wait(2) light.Material = Enum.Material.Neon light.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 0) wait(2) light.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic light.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255) until false end BlinkLight()

u teach better than my math teacher :DD

This man is gonna solve world hunger with how many hotdogs he just made

This is the first tutorial that really helped me, thank you!

I was trying to make a timer and was stuck on the same error. This fixed it. I spent an hour trying to fix it

even while mad you still keep it together. ur the best.

Really wanted to learn repeat loops, i find it very crucial to alot of games

thanks these are the most easiest-understanding lessons ive ever seen!

The dog arc continues

I'm struggling really badly on something that should be simple. So instead of testing this on the prints, I tried experiencing it with some blocks to see what it can actually do in the game. Here is the script I wrote: local redblock = game.Workspace.part1 local blueblock = game.Workspace.part2 local function touched() -- When I touch the part1 wait (1) redblock.Anchored=false wait (1) redblock.Transparency=0.7 end redblock.Touched:Connect(touched) while redblock.Transparency==0.7 do -- as soon as the redblock turns into transparency 0.7, this script below should run blueblock.Anchored=false end So my goal here was to make it so that when I touch the part1, it would run the "touched()" function first. As soon as the transparency for the first function goes into 0.7 it should then run my "while" script. But for some reason the while-script doesn't run after the redblock.Transparency=0.7, I'm not getting any errors in my output either. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? This video is a year long, and I doubt anyone will reply, but if there's anyone who could help me please do asap.

Im trying to get some code to repeat and its not repeating heres the code: while true do t = 47 repeat t = t-1 script.Parent.Position = script.Parent.Position + Vector3.new(-2,0,0) wait(0.5) until t == 0 wait(5) t = 1 repeat t = t-1 script.Parent.Position = script.Parent.Position + Vector3.new(94,0,0) wait(0.5) until t == 0 its to move a brick in the output it just says stack end

Very impressed that my computer handled the infinite loop. Lagged for 2 seconds then started playing like normal.

For the first part with hotdogs = hotdogs + 1 you can now do hotdogs += 1 and it will do the exact same thing but shorter :)

I have subscribed thedevking you earned it and I'm amazed about how the way I understand it quickly because of your way of teaching. :> )

Pls what are the main purpose of loops

Instructions unclear, hotdogs spawning everywhere.

This video explained the repeat function good I created my recurring jump scare with this video nice work

FYI: you can use "repeat until" to freeze scripts. Example: hotdogs = 1 print("Hi there") repeat until hotdogs == 3 --freezes the script print("i will not print anything until hotdogs is equal to 3")

day #7 of learning to script I'm gonna do this to remind myself to come here everyday(that's not guaranteed)

quick tip yall, you can use compound assignment operators(find in documentation) to increase a variables value For example --- while hotDogs < 5 do hotDogs += 1 end --- As you see, the code is much more cleaner

i used scratch A LOT before so im getting theese tutorials *real fast*

i tried it actually crased my pc

Made a script that restarts after it has finished with the loop so it can loop again! Pretty simple but here ya gooo. while true do local Thing = 0 while Thing < 10 do print("Working") wait(1) Thing = Thing +1 print(Thing) end wait(1) print("Restarting") wait(1) print(5) wait(1) print(4) wait(1) print(3) wait(1) print(2) wait(1) print(1) local Thing = 0 end

at 2:27 instead of doing "hotdogs = hotdogs + 1" you can do "hotdogs += 1"

Love you! Also, Just making sure;Functions are something that makes whatever you put in the () work?

why dont you put apostrophe on hot dogs when you typed print(hotdogs)

Now I understand why he's dog keeps barking. Because he always say hotdog.

1:54 I pressed run right as you said that lol

First Script: local light = game.Workspace.Part.PointLight while true do wait() light.Enabled = true wait() light.Enabled = false end

for i, v in pairs is actually: for index, value in pairs

A shortcut now is using hotdogs += 1 or the number you want to add

While loops run only WHILE a condition is true, and repeat loops run UNTIL a condition is true.

i figured this out the hard way- i fyour going to use reapeat loops use a wait thing becasue your coumputer will explode if you dont

This hotdog obsession needs to be looked at by a doctor lol

Hey I always wanted to make a train system in my game but I know what video is appropriate

TheDevKing every second : ummmmmm 😂😂😂

whats this dudes obsession with hotdogs

Basically whats going on with while and repeat loops are that: While loops check if somethings true and runs code while this do -- code end Repeat loops check if somethings false and runs code repeat --code until this

So in the first part instead of hotdogs = hotdogs + 1, you could do hotdogs += 1, without having to repeat hotdogs twice which is more faster for typing long lines of codes, etc

make a screenGui in StarterGui then add a TextLabel on it and change the text whatever u want then add a local script and type this on it: local Time = 5 -- the time local StopTime = 0 -- when it stop local minusNumber = 1 -- minus number local TimeLabel = script.Parent.TextLabel function changeTime() TimeLabel.Text = Time end while Time > StopTime do wait(1) Time = Time - minusNumber changeTime() end
