How do i use for loops ( in pairs() ) ?? And why do you need to use it?
I only know this script:
***local Table = {roblox = "roblox", minecraft = "minecraft"}
for i,v in pairs(Table) do print(i,v) end***
i don't know why you would use something like this, but i know this is useful for timers:
for i = 5,0,-1 do print(i) wait(1) end
Please answer if you know

It's really useful if you want to do something to a select group of objects. Let's say you're creating a fighting game and you want every player in team red to be rewarded with a couple of coins when red wins and same goes for team blue.
Then you could create something like this to easily accomplish this.
function redWin()
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do --main loop
if v.Team == "red" then
v.Coins = v.Coins + 50 --reward player
end
end
end
function blueWin()
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do --main loop
if v.Team == "blue" then
v.Coins = v.Coins + 50 --reward player
end
end
end

u can use team:GetPlayers() instead of Players:GetPlayers()/Players:GetChildren() Mr_Unlucky 1085 — 4y

I was just thinking if you used value based team systems (which i use, it also seems more common nowadays) Vinceberget 1420 — 4y
