Can’t wait for more of these to come out!! I appreciate that you describe HOW the script works instead of just writing it out like a lot of other tutorials do so your viewers can understand how to start writing their own instead of just copying what’s on the screen.

[@GeodyEnt]

Yas I feel the same :)

[@KamiKido]

You should add in your videos, examples of what you can do with everything we've learned. Would make learning this so much easier.

[@AlvinBlox]

I did say some examples in the video such as adding leaderstats/cash values to a player when they join, but I’ll take it onboard for future ones.

[@sketchcatandsterlingthedoo3193]

Thanks Alvin! My learning process has been to take notes on all your tutorials, play with code, then re-watch the series and take more notes, and repeat the process. This is the third or fourth round, and it's great to have some new videos covering the same old topics. You Rock! Next up for me is learning to fire remote events on server and client. I got modules and returning figured out now so hopefully it's Cake!

[@RobloxStudioInAMinute]

We should also note that, - Events run in a separate thread, that means errors won't stop executing the script (other than type errors). That also means execution of your script will continue after hooking this event, even if there is a loop inside it. - :Wait can be used on events. :Wait yields your script (halts the execution) until event triggers, and if picked up, passes the arguments to your variables. - Some events are not replicated and can only get listened on clients or server. Alvin covered everything a beginner needs but I just wanted to note these out so if you have any problems you can remember to check for these.

[@Spooksey]

Can You please, tell Me, how to Script something that happens Every Year? What I mean is, For Example: Say it's Christmas, and I want the Map to change, to have Holiday Decorations all Around, or Maybe just Grant You a Badge on that Specific Day, every Year, but I need it to happen Automatically. How would I do that?

[@putthatonskibidi]

@@Spooksey you would literally change and add decoration to map but save a copy of the old map then if you want to when you want to change the Christmas map back. I have never made a game I don't even know how to script or anything, but this just seems logical to me.

[@extremeloader7471]

I love it. A lot clearer than the 2020 tutorial. Keep going, Alvin!

[@greeneyes-_-]

I didn't really understand how the function inside the event worked exactly. So what I did was to replay the video and test it by myself and now I understood. So small tip for everyone, if you don't understand, no problem, just rewatch and try it by yourself.

[@inspiredmonster3235]

Really cool that you have done this series. It is genuinely helpful and I thank you so much. I don't know of it is just me but sometimes the script can be a little hard to follow and I have to pause and take it apart to fully understand it.

I watched through your last tutorial series (early 2020). Great to see you are updating and redoing them as time goes on! Keep up the good work, Alvin

[@calengo454]

4:58 Alvin, i believe that the event is actually connected to the function only *once* , and not every time the event is triggered(in this case, every time some player touches that part), or else there would be several connections, and the function would be called several times!

[@lazlaz59]

Well obviously, it's because he didn't add a wait() inside the function.

[@calengo454]

@@lazlaz59 i'm still trying to understand what you meant by that. what adding a wait inside the function has to do with i just said?

[@xshayla.janaex]

On the output, it had (23x) on the executed function, so it happened 23 times.

[@GDPlainA]

This episode is one of the best ones possible. Not only you taught us about events, but you showed us where to find the possible events and functions in a list.

[@steven.2602]

To anyone having issues with the event firing on startup, this is what worked for me, you may have to try something a little different. 1, check if the part with the event is on the baseplate. 2, if it is, check to make sure the baseplate's property "CanTouch" is unchecked. if it isn't, try unchecking it. for me, the part was hitting the baseplate, causing the script to fire. if anyone is curious, to my knowledge, "CanTouch" just determines whether or not it will trigger any Touch events.

Can you make a tutorial on how to temporarily ban a player, when a player says something specific, please? It would help me a ton! :D

It's an easy concept, you just need to make a module to check the player all the time (preferably a function) and you just check if a player says things which are in a specific list then they get banned.

[@amgadroblox3632]

Thank you so much! When I completed the script, I had by far many mistakes and it didn't work but when I had the uncopyblocked game, I checked the difference and I fixed it. Once I was done again, everything worked! This is the only tutorial that makes my loading work. You deserve a sub and one day, you will reach 1 million! This took me a day to make and the working script was worth it. The tutorial is remarkable! Thanks so much again and make sure somebody cares about you.

Hey Alvin, I have been building for about 2 years in roblox now and I figured it would be time that I finally learn how to script. Your videos have helped me slowly develop some simple scripting skills. I really a appreciate it. Also it would be really cool if you went more into detail with events especially touch events. For example when a character touches a block it turns a certain color, or makes the health go down. Would also be really helpful if you could teach us how we can implement locals and script.Parent functions. I friend taught me some of this like how to change a parts transparency when a player steps on it but I still find it very confusing.
