 You are about to make your very first script - a script to kill yourself. There is multiple ways to execute (or run) code in ROBLOX, but you will be executing the script from a place in ROBLOX [[Studio]] called the [[Scripting#Fundamentals|Command Bar]]. The Command Bar allows you to execute a single line of script instantly in a blank [[place]]. The command bar will only run one line of code at a time.  The first thing we want to do, is to open up the command bar, which is in ROBLOX [[studio]].

-::: Look at the top left bar and click on View
+::You can enable the command bar by going to: '''View > Toolbars > Command''' (if there is no check mark next to it). A text box will appear at the bottom of the software. You can insert code in there and it will execute.

-::8.2) '''Move your mouse over 'Toolbars' '''
-::: Move your mouse over the Toolbar's thing, and another menu should pop up.
-:::{{Studio|Menu$View$Toolbars}}
-::8.3) '''Click on 'Command' '''
-Click on 'command' to open up the command tool bar.  You can insert code into this bar, and it will run it (known as executing)  the script.
-:::{{Studio|Menu$View$Toolbars$Command}}
-) '''Open up 'Output' '''
-::: ROBLOX will put out 'output' whenever your script errors.  Despite this being fairly confusing, it is much more helpful then just knowing the scrip isn't working.  To open up output, follow the below instructions.
