How do you write events? I'm confused.

Hi, BossScorp82103! Your issue is with functions, here is a link to Roblox Wiki of how to use functions: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Function

But, the "game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect" is ussed to call a function every time a player connects to your game. Here an example:

This will print on the console the player name plus " has joined the game!".

The word "players" is just a reference to the player that got added.

Good Luck with your game

its because lua can get complicated at times

*like how using table + table is not possible unless metamethod __add is found and used correctly*

so lets explain in parts:

game.Players.PlayerAdded this part is to target the event we will be using

:connect() this is a method that actually "connects" the event with our function

now what is inside the () is a single parameter: the function

we could automatically set it to a predefined function:

however, most would rather create a function within the (), to do something like this, we would do this simply with:

(function(parameter, otherparameters) code here end)

and so we do this within :connect()

now parameters within the function() are given to the function by :connect()

i dont exactly know how it would do this, but i could imagine it going like this:

and how lua deals with this is that we give parameters to the defined function respectivly:

:connect gives out parameters: "doo"

so foo runs like:

foo(doo)

so we would get

doo!
