I've seen this very often;
function co(...)
-- do stuff
end
I'm focusing on the parameter, like why do you use it?
✓ ANSWER ACCEPTED
Why do you put ("..."), in a functions parameter sometimes? [not answered]

✓ Accepted answer
It allows you to take any amount of variables as a tuple.
function VariadicFunction(...)
local Arguments = {...} --contain tuple thing
local n = 0;
for i, v in pairs(Arguments) do
if not tonumber(v) then error("argument "..i..": not a number") end
n = n + v;
end
return n
end
VariadicFunction(4,5,6,7,8,9,10) --gives you 4+5+6+7+8+9+10, too lazy to calculate heehee hoohoo

It says nothing about using (...), in a parameter.
And ROBLOX LUA, and LUA are two different languages.
It's the same base language, so most stuff that you can do in Lua will work in Roblox. Roblox's Lua is just adapted to the platform and the game world.
I presume the ellipses is just a wildcard? If you could give a script example I might be able to answer this.
