If you still don't understand something, you can ask at [http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=20 Scripting Helpers]. Note that you're more likely to get an answer if you ask a specific question than something general, and that if you have a problem with a piece of code, posting the code really helps people to find what the problem is. Posts just asking "How do I script?" or "Make me this" are usually ignored.
