AlvinBlox, I am SO grateful to you for these videos. I used to code 20 years ago, and wanted to start coding in Roblox to help teach my kids about programming in a fun hands-on way... I was overwhelmed trying to jump into Lua / Roblox scripting and your videos were a Godsend! You are an excellent teacher, funny, and one of the smartest people I have encountered. And that is coming from a professor who teaches at the graduate school level (not in computer science lol)!

[@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.

[@azmainhaque9520]

yoo thx alot ;D

[@reinisb5965]

Yes! I was looking at the comments to see if anybody had trouble with the baseplate starting the event.

[@dubjokesguttylike]

Thank you so much for teaching us about events! WE really appreciate your time and efforts in this video!

[@wakeupclumsyold]

As an advanced Minecraft Bedrock Command Blocker I can say without a doubt that Alvin's way of explaining things is amazing. I've taught myself how to do some advanced things with command blocks by simplifying it from the command itself all the way down to something as simple as "this command activates x when y is activated". Not everything has to be complicated, you want to know the purpose of the line of code/command block you're using. Definitely would recommend this to a beginner.

You are an absolute legend at explaining difficult stuff, it's probably easy for you, but me as a noob even understood it all without any problems.

[@infestusbias7410]

Thank you for the tutorials! Good job. Small pointer... you tend to repeat the same information multiple times. I understand that you are trying to make sure you are being clear but you are not giving a lecture to a live audience. It's a video so if someone doesn't quite understand something they can re-watch the video. Repeating is good to emphasize a particularily important point, but isn't necessary for every step of the instruction set. This will also help to tighten up the video so you can give more new information in the same run time :) Thanks again!

[@dawkss]

True, he does repeat the same info a bunch of extra times, but he still is really good at explaining.

[@berdies3072]

He repeats information to make it easier to understand, and so you don't have to re-watch the video. Imagine if your teachers only went over information once. Also, its much easier to retain knowledge if its told multiple times. he epic yes

events are used for number of things: from making NPC's hurt you to powering entire games. events (like if statements ) are very important things to know and it makes sense this video is hour long. now, events are basically things that happen, e v e n t s . they are used with built-in functions. defining what we want,is touched,connecting it to a lambda, or anyonymous function game.Workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function() print("ow why did u step on me :(") argument end) ending the script a example of an event there.

Hello, I have one question. I made a berry bush with a script, so when I'm touching bush it creates a part. But when I'm touching bush, it creates a million of parts at once. Please tell me how to make the code run once each time I'm touching.

you could do a temporary wait command that could wait for like, a billion seconds.

having a slight background in c++ really helps. makes sense considering roblox studio was built in c++. seems like functions are just a template in c++, so too are the parameters. connect probably accepts pointers as their argument and tosses them into a stack. eager to see how roblox handles heap allocation, and if there are move semantics to improve efficiency
