Decided to rewrite this hopefully to make it more simple and understandable.
How can you make a second variable record the first variables values.
for example:
*Variable 1 starts setting to random numbers (ex/ 1,5,3,7,3)
variable 2 waits 1 second and then starts from the beginning of Variable 1 (ex/ 1,5,3,7,3)*
I don't want to set Variable 2 to the newest value of number of Variable 1
Sorry for confusion.
If you want var2 to be whatever var1 was 1 second ago, use this:
function SetVar1(value)
var1 = value
delay(1, function() var2 = value end)
end
SetVar1(5)
With this method, you never use "var1 = 5", you use "SetVar1(5)".
It doesn't need to be delayed a different way, wait() is fine, a for loop automatically adds 1 so you don't need the line var1 = var1+1, and you should probably define var2 before you start the loop.
try this:
local var2
for var1=1,5 do
print ("var1 " ..var1.."")
wait(3)
var2 = var1
print ("var2 " ..var2.."")
end
If you're trying to print "1,2,3,4,5", then all you need is a for loop. It looks to me you're just not sure how to use the loop.
for var1 = 1,5 do
print(var1)
wait(1)
end

Why would you use var 1 + 1 if it's already a for loop? It looks to me you're asking the wrong question, and you just need help on general aspects of coding.
I rewrote it to make a little more sense, hopefully you will under stand now. Sorry :)
