What words do you use most in scripting?

I've very recently decided to learn to code. There is a lot of information to begin with all at once, so I'd like to ask the community, what functions and such do you most commonly use in scripting, so I may master the most pertinent data first before branching out to niche categories. Things like "OnClicked" and "OnPlayerEntered" or various Instance.new("..."). I apologize if this is too indirect of a question but I'm only expecting maybe 4 or 5 words a person.

I'm happy you decided to learn to code! It's a big world out there, so remember, you don't need to remember everything. Me and many other scripters commonly look up API(like how to use something and it's events, functions, et cetera) on the Wiki because we don't memorize it. To be a scripter, you don't need to memorize the API of every function or object to exist.

Any, my top things any ROBLOX scripter should know and use a lot are:

Wait(), if statements, defining functions and using them, generic for loops, CFrames, and GetService("").

Thank you very much, I checked out the GetService page on the wiki, it took me to a class and service page that is just choc-full of information. EnlightenedDev 11 — 6y
