How do i do a variable?

Answered by

Here's a variable with numbers:

AnyName = 31

With a number variable you can do this:

wait(anyname)

It will wait 31 seconds.

String variable:

AnyName = "Text"

With a string variable, you can do this:

print(anyname)

It will print 'Text' in the output

And last but not least, the Object variable:

AnyName = game.Workspace.Part --example

With an Object Variable you can do this:

AnyName.CFrame = CFrame.new(32, -299, 333)

Changes the Objects location

And:

AnyName:clone().Parent = Workspace

Copies the Object and puts it into Workspace, but without '.Parent = Workspace' it will become nil

And there is a lot of other uses for variables, I hope this helped!

The only problem is with the string variable.When you do it it will print nil in the output iluvmaths1123 198 — 9y

MyVariable = 20 -- You can put any data here. Like, numbers, strings, etc

Thanks!But can the text myvariable allowed to be changed into any name you want your variables name to be? iluvmaths1123 198 — 10y

Yes, any legal name in lua can be defined like this. All letters and underscores, and a number after the first character. User#2 0 — 10y

You can use variables for short cuts.

Part = game.Workspace.Part

You can name your own brick with a variable.

Hi = game.Workspace.Part

So do you mean part is going to be the variables name or is hi the variables name?But still thanks for helping me! iluvmaths1123 198 — 10y

Part is a shortcut, Hi is naming. And no problem. Roboy5857 20 — 10y
