What is ". . ." in the MainModule in EISS?
In Epix Admin's MainModule, I see . . . in some places. This is what I mean:
01 | local MainScriptFunction = function(server,Plugins,LoaderScript) --server is known as "set" in the loader/settings |
02 | local server,Plugins,LoaderScript=server,Plugins,(LoaderScript or script) |
03 | local DebugErrorsLog={} local function logError(plr,error) DebugErrorsLog[#DebugErrorsLog+1]={Player=plr,Error=error} end |
04 | local print=function(...) for i,v in pairs({...}) do print('[EISS] Server - '..tostring(v)) end end |
05 | local cPcall=function(func,...) local function cour(...) coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(func),...) end local ran,error=pcall(cour,...) if error then logError("SERVER",error) print('ERROR: '..error) end end |
06 | local Pcall=function(func,...) local ran,error=pcall(func,...) if error then logError("SERVER",error) print('ERROR: '..error) end end |
07 | local Routine=function(func,...) coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(func),...) end |
08 | if server.TempAdmins and type(server.TempAdmins)=="table" then server.Mods=server.TempAdmins end |
09 | pcall(function() workspace.AllowThirdPartySales = true end) -- y u even add this roblox.... y |
10 | local DataStore local UpdatableSettings={} for i,v in pairs(server) do table.insert(UpdatableSettings,i) end |
11 | local DataStore; |
12 | local RemoteEvent; |
Do you know why there is ". . ."?

The ... is used to create variadic functions, i.e. functions which can take as many arguments as are passed to it. You can define one like this:
1 | function VariadicFunction(...) |
2 | local Args = {...} |
3 | for i, v in ipairs(Args) do |
4 | print(v) -- Note that we could have used print(...) as print is a variadic function, but this is to show how to iterate over those arguments. |
5 | end |
6 | end |
Note that we put the contents of ... into a table to make iterating easier.
You can also define arguments before the ..., like this:
1 | function VariadicFunction(firstArg, secondArg, ...) |
In this case, ... would represent everything after the second argument passed to the function.
