Say I wanted to generate 100 2x2x2 parts in a square perfectly fitting together. I started with a for loop and generated 100 2x2x2 parts, but I'm not sure what to do from there.

local CurrentPos = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
for i = 1, 100 do
wait(0.1)
local Part = Instance.new("Part", Workspace)
Part.Anchored = true
Part.Size = Vector3.new(2, 2, 2)
CurrentPos = CurrentPos + Vector3.new(2, 0, 0)
Part.Position = CurrentPos
if i % 10 == 0 then
CurrentPos = Vector3.new(0, 0, CurrentPos.Z+2)
end
end
The above would do as you require.
The modulus operator, %, is used to return the remainder of the division between two given numbers. In this case I'm using it in an if statement to check if something is a multiple of ten, when it is it starts a new line on the Z-axis (allowing for a 10x10 square).
The rest is pretty self explanatory.
for x=0,9 do
for y=0,9 do
local e=Instance.new("Part")
e.FormFactor="Symmetric"
e.Size=Vector3.new(2,2,2)
e.Position=Vector3.new(x,0,y)*2
e.Parent=workspace
end
end
or if you only want one for loop:
for i=0,99 do
local e=Instance.new("Part")
e.FormFactor="Symmetric"
e.Size=Vector3.new(2,2,2)
e.Position=Vector3.new(i % 10,0,math.floor(i/10))*2
end

apparently you have to add spaces to use the modulus operator on this website or it eats it.
Are you trying to copy me?!

Copy? Was this question asked before? If it has, apologies, I didn't know.

But you aren't using the modulus operator at all?
As Waffle pointed out in his reply, it's apparently eaten if there are no spaces. I've edited what I posted.
