View source for Talk:Absolute beginner's guide to scripting

Entire tutorial needs to be re-written to remove the 2nd person speak. This is a manual, not a discussion board. Other than that it's great. ---[[User:Mr Doom Bringer|Mr Doom Bringer]] 13:41, 17 April 2008 (CDT)

It's not that I want tickets, it's that Anaminous' Script Builder no longer has the :Remove() function, causing scripts here not to work. {{User:Outofspace/sig}}

Why is this referring to a Script Builder? It should be referring to the Studio, where you're SUPPOSED to test scripts. [[User:Anaminus|Anaminus]] 00:03, 6 July 2008 (CDT)

It wouldn't work right. If you put it in a place, then by the time the place loads and the person reaches the place, the script would have been executed already. (Throwing an error in the output, that noone is there to be "head removed") Doing it in a script builder saves time, and is quicker. {{User:Outofspace/sig}}

Well tell them to cut then paste the script. Then the script runs. However it basically resets the script. [[User:Ozzypig|Ozzypig]]

== Script builder link replacement? ==

Anaminus's script builder now makes us force to use Remove(). There needs to be another popular script builder to link to.

I think I'll change this to use ROBLOX Studio's Immediate window or whatever it's called.[[User:Jediknightkrazy|Jedi Knight Krazy]] 09:53, 31 July 2008 (CDT)

There. No more Script Builder. No more advertisers. We're done here. [[User:Jediknightkrazy|Jedi Knight Krazy]] 13:32, 6 August 2008 (CDT)



The head remove script wouldn't work in ROBLOX studio would it? In studio your avatar doesn't appear, so you couldn't remove its head?? [[user:gordonrox24]]

The head remove script works with "Player", which is yourself.  Test it on the command line in Roblox Studio.  {{User:Mindraker/sig}} 07:35, 18 September 2008 (CDT)

== Lost the beginner's feel ==
This tutorial seems to have lost the beginner-friendly feel I had originally written. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could go through and help me make this a "beginner's" tutorial again.
For someone looking to make an edit, I would ask you to always ''keep beginners in mind''. While writing, ask yourself, could a complete newbie read this and understand what I'm talking about? [[User:Jediknightkrazy|Jedi Knight Krazy]]

== Complete the script -> need to change 'brick' to 'part' ==

In the 'Complete the script' lesson, the code as it currently stands:

    ''brick = game.Workspace.Brick '' <br/>
    ''function onTouch(part) '' <br/>
      ''brick.Transparency = 1 '' <br/>
      ''wait(1) '' <br/>
      ''brick.Transparency = 0 '' <br/>
    ''end '' <br/>
    ''brick.Touched:connect(onTouch)'' <br/>

The issue is that within the onTouch() function, the object that was passed is called 'part'.  Outside of the function, it is called 'brick'.  So the code should really look like this:

    ''brick = game.Workspace.Brick '' <br/>
    ''function onTouch(part) '' <br/>
      ''part.Transparency = 1 '' <br/>
      ''wait(1) '' <br/>
      ''part.Transparency = 0 '' <br/>
    ''end '' <br/>
    ''brick.Touched:connect(onTouch)'' <br/>
    
May be this would be a good time to talk about passing in a parameter to a function?  I wasn't sure how to add this twist to the page.  [[User:cecibean|cecibean]]  22:13, 26 September 2008 (CDT)

: The reason why you don't want to put in "part.Transparency = 1" is that that makes your <b>legs</b> transparent, not the brick.  I believe the example wants the brick to become transparent.  {{User:Mindraker/sig}} 05:55, 27 September 2008 (CDT)

== Better Remove... ==

Remove(game.Workspace.guy.Head)

best remove.

== update. ==

Would be nice to get this page updated. Would also be nice to change all instances of "JediKnightKrazy" to "USERNAME" or something similar.--[[User:Gordonrox24|<span style="font-family:Script MT;color:#36B">Gordonrox24</span>]]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User_talk:Gordonrox24|<sup><span style="font-family:Arial;color:red">''Talk''</span></sup>]] 01:20, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
:I'll do that. --[[User:JulienDethurens|JulienDethurens]] 02:39, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

== Updating this page ==

This page basically has everything we need. All we need to do is update and improve some sections. {{sig|Tenal|date=20:11, 31 January 2012 (UTC)}}
