How would I write this statement multiple times?

Asked by

I would like this code to repeat multiple times. How do I do that without having to copy and paste it 20 times?

lift.Position = lift.Position + Vector3.new(0,-1,0)
    wait(0.1)

Use a while true loop. Example:

while true do
    lift.Position = lift.Position + Vector3.new(0,-1,0)
    wait(0.1)
end

-This will repeat it forever, but if you need to repeat it e.g 20 times, use a for loop. example:

for i = 1, 20 do
    lift.Position = lift.Position + Vector3.new(0,-1,0)
    wait(0.1)
end

Hope this helps!

And I see in your BIO you are trying to learn how to script. For the basics, you can read this: https://scriptinghelpers.org/guides/lua-quick-start-guide , and if you are interested in events, this is a good site too: https://developer.roblox.com/ (there are not only events, try it) Miniller 562 — 5y
