Im so confused tbh WHY in the world is this whole output thing even neccesary

[@TofuTuesdays]

If anyone wants an example of how this can be used, review this code: local part = game.Workspace.Baseplate local function transformfunc (mat, trans) part.Material = mat part.Transparency = trans end transformfunc("Sand", 0.5 ) wait(10) transformfunc("LeafyGrass", 0) Its quite simple, the moment you start the game the baseplate will become sandy and half transparent, then after waiting 10 seconds the code will run the function again, except with different parameters. It can be a huge help when you want an item or value to go through different states after a certain requirement has been met. Parameters are used here simply to save time and simplify code.

alvin blox tought parameters while in his function video and i got so confused. but this is much better! plus alvin makes 20 min vids to explain and this is like 5

[@Lycoriste]

For those who don’t understand or still confused, parameters are like variables. Just think of them as variables, as in function(x, y). If you call function(1, 2), then x = 1 and y = 2. Since quite a decent amount of people see this, I’ll just add some more information, don’t read further if you’re easily confused. The variables that are passed into the parameters are actually copies. I’ll show you what I mean (and I haven’t touched Lua in a long time so I’ll be doing this with “pseudocode” mixed with C++): Let’s say we have a function called add that takes two integer variables… func int add(int x, int y) { return x + y; } And we have two variables called num1 and num2 outside, declared like so: int num1 = 0; int num2 = 1; Then passing that into the function - add(num1, num2) - should return 1 alright. Now let’s say we want to edit the parameters, adding 2x of each number (ex: x*2 + y*2). func int add(int x, int y) { x = x*2; y = y*2; return x + y; } So what do you think will happen if we run add(num1, num2) now? It should return 2 because 0*2 + 1*2 = 2. But here’s a question that comes up a lot with amateurs: are num1 and num2 multiplied too? No, the variables num1 and num2 are not changed AT ALL. This is because they’re passed in as parameters so int x and int y are simply variables that exist inside the function and the function only. Knowing some of you curious dedicated hardworking learners, you may ask, “Then how would I reference variables outside with my parameters?” Don’t worry, there’s a way. I’ll update this later because I’m on a phone. Alright here's the next part :) So in a language called C++, you can do so easily with something called "pass by reference". It works by defining the function as: function int changeNum(&num) Where the symbol & means "reference". However, this is (as far as I know) pretty much a C/C++ thing. We can work around it, however, in other languages like Lua. This requires a decent understanding of classes and objects. Just know that, classes are the templates to making objects, and they are basically "custom" data types programmers can write on their own. So we can have a "Person" class, with attributes like name and age (which has data types of String and int respectively), then we can mass produce people by making a ton of objects from that template. Weird analogy but I think it works (?). Moving on, primitive types are the basic building blocks of code. You've been using them already - int, double, boolean (true/false), char, etc. (Strings are objects btw because they are an array of char). What this basically means is that a String "references" where in the memory the first char is stored, and how many chars are after it, because we can only allocate so many data in a "block" (think binary 1s and 0s). We can't possibly have a whole chunk representing a string when they're just chars put together. If you see where I'm going with this, you're on track. Yes, we CANNOT pass by reference by doing function changeNum(num) because we're in Lua. But it's a different story if the parameter we're inputting is an object. Just make the primitive type into an object in any miraculous way possible. Store it in a table for example, idk lol. P/S: I haven't tested any of this second part but my guess should be right lmao you can test it on your own if it doesn't work uhh complain about it to me and I'll work on it. And some supporting evidence for my "shower thoughts": stackoverflow.com/questions/6128152/function-variable-scope-pass-by-value-or-reference

Guys, if his explanation of parameters was confusing, I'll provide the explanation that worked for me. Basically, in his first example function, he writes: local function add(hotdog, ham) print (hotdog + ham) end Then the next line he types add(2, 3), and running the script puts 5 into the output. Basically, the function add() was defined as adding the two values in the parenthesis. In the first block of code, which acted like a definition of the function, the values are hotdog and ham. In the next line of code, which says print (hotdog + ham), it means that because hotdog and ham are in the parenthesis, it's gonna add the values hotdog and ham and print the result into the output. The function basically says, "If I have two values in my parenthesis, I will be adding those values and printing whatever I get after I added those values." So basically he used the parameters to help define what he wants his function to do and make it more useful in terms of what it can do. I like to think of parameters as parts of the definition of a function. Hopefully this was a helpful explanation.

For anyone that's confused, parameter is basically a function variable. E.g local function add(x,y) if I call this function by doing: add(num1, num2) it's basically saying: x = num1 y = num2 This is assuming you already have variables outside of the function named num1 and num2 It might sound redundant at first, but you can do a lot with it, you just don't know enough to implement it.

Example 1. (using return from the last video) function Addition(a,b) local c = a+b return c end print(Addition(5,8)) -- The computer sees that we assigned 5 and 8 inside A and B. -- From that you can just think of it as like a math equation 5+8 -- Then we return the c which is 13 since we calculated how much 5+8 is we get 13. -- So just think of the things inside the () the same as you'd do when doing a variable -- It's just the same as this local a = 5 local b = 8 local c = a+b print(c) Here is the copy paste for the script shown in the video. function add(Hotdog, Ham) print(Hotdog) end add("Sweet", 2)

so is there really any purpose to them? Do they like, make your game less laggy or something?

[@KapsiF]

@@sandpaper1711 I think they are used like this. Lets say you have a input field where players can enter their names. So you just get the information from the input and put it in a parameter. This is what I think it is used

[@KapsiF]

Also they do help in the long run of coding since it's easier to just edit the part in the () than changing every single mention of them in the function individually

so if you guys came to it yet, parameters are just like substituting values in a math equation. you set the formula (or in this case, the parameters), and then u substitute the values to get the final answer. just a helpful guide if anyone found this confusing (pretty unlikely btw, he explained it great)

For ppl who are confused, basically parameters are like variables for example local function Stuff() In these () i want to find stuff. To save our time finding it using a function instead of using an variable to find it we use PARAMETERS so, to write an parameter we put the thing we want to find inside of the functions () and now the code would be local function stuff(stuff) Now, since we found it, I can use the parameter how much I want to use it (for me) now I would (for me) I would return "stuff" if successful. for example local function stuff(stuff) return true print(" returned"..tostring(stuff)) And as you see, I use stuff again cuz I was looking for stuff using an function. And yeah! Hope you understand.. and if you don't understand to tostring method.. I will create an video about tostring

Okay if you don't know, here's the conclusion, hope you'll like it :). : Basically we're like making values like Hotdog, Ham in the video. then we call the function and add those two values together. Hotdog, Ham = 3,2 and the "strings" are like words even tho they're numbers like "3" "79" "Test" Integers are numbers.

[@urabus]

if youre wondering how it was able to print the function even though the print was AFTER calling the function, its because the print is part of the function. the function IS printing, so when you call the function, youre just printing it.

for those who are confused an easier way to do this is by doing local hotdog = 3 local ham = 2 now you've set the values into these variables/parameter's as you can see this is a bit easier and you don't have to do add(3,2) -- this is a bit confusing now you can do print(3,2) for those who are still having a problem this is how you do it function add(hotdog, ham) local hotdog = 3 -- btw this is what they mean by saying parameters' are just like variables because they are local ham = 2 -- telling the function what to do print(hotdog + ham) end) now do -- add() -- as you can see this is a bit easier then doing add(3,2)

@@malt_y7280 Just try think of it a changing Variable eg. function Help(69,420) print(69) end Help(21,9999) should print 21 cuz we want to print 69 but we decided wanted to change it

You can also add variables when you define the parameter for example: local Number4 = 4 local function add(FirstNumber) print(FirstNumber + 2) end add(Number4)

I never thought I would enjoy learning

[@franciscohernandez5765]

What can we use these scripts for? I’m trying to make a anime game and this isn’t helping very much

[@backkslashhh]

You can also return the sum of the two numbers by adding local sum before the equation. (Delete the print part if you do this)

Still useful to this day!!

local function ThankYou(TheDevKing) print(TheDevKing) end ThankYou("Thanks for these amazing tutorials!")

[@davidnatanael8542]

as a person who doesn't know scripting, i can confirm that i understand everything from this guy, other can't explain as simple as this guy

[@noob_toxic1719]

some other youtubers take 30 minutes to explain something this man takes 5 minutes to explain the same thing and 10x easier

[@noobsarebetterthanu5820]

He seems so sweet and optimistic and i LOVE IT he also tends to put hotdog in the scripts a lot lmao.

[@brocockman5116]

if you dont understand paramaters are literally just variables that can be changed but can only be used inside the function its created in

[@rx7.teykhan683]

God give this man some hotdogs...

[@gigachad4472]

You're my best teacher!

[@mladenk6069]

This is what I think parameters are: Parameters are variables that can only be used by functions. Parameters are also a place holder. - Example ⬇ 1 - local function add(HotDog) 2 - print(HotDog) 3 - end 4 - add("Sweet") ----> it's gonna print Sweet because HotDog is like a place holder in this case it's for a Sweet, so if you type 1 - local function add(HotDog) 2 - print(HotDog) 3 - end 4 - add("Sweet") it will print Sweet This is only my thinking on what parameters are so if people who know what they are can they comment to help me? Thank you

[@CASHYASIR]

what does the , 2 mean?

[@practicalcucumber1395]

In this case, hotdog was the variable that was holding the value "sweet" and the 2 next to sweet was used to give the variable hamburgers a value. So hotdog = "sweet" and hamburgers = 2

[@eextras]

thank you

[@ordinarynerdofficial]

im still learning so correct me if im wrong but for people who dont understand Hotdog is the same as "local Hotdog = 3" and Ham is the same as "local Ham = 2" so when you print "print(Hotdog + Ham)" its like printing 3 + 2

[@yum8837]

For anyone confused Parameters are basically variables that arent given a value until the function is called

Manifesting that your tutorials will help me make a successful game from scratch

[@WZNuget]

im getting back into roblox scripting i already know a decent amount of lua so im skimming through some of your videos to refresh my memory while getting ready for topics like events raycasting and who knows what because i sure as hell dont

[@Targetstrike]

I am surprised at how little confusion I have about all these, especially since I'm taking notes I got through scope and returning with a good idea of what it is

[@Targetstrike]

I already know printing by now because it does the same thing in python

[@Ziedmac]

thanks for the idea of taking notes, idk why I didn't think of that earlier! I kept forgetting everything from the earlier videos but just rewatched them and took notes

[@justine3615]

You sure does love hotdogs xD btw nice tutorials i'm learning so much

bro istg i was so confused what parameters are and this just made it so clear

This this, is amazing I have learned so much after watching your other tutorials.

[@Titan-qi9mv]

I like you more than alvinblox, i often have to replay alvinblox's coding videos multiple times to even know what he's talkin about. But i just have to watch your vids once and i know how stuff works.

Pov: returning from advanced series to parameters cause you dont understand how parameters work and cant make the tool damage people

ive learned so much from this series on my first couple videos

I feel there is more to explain with parameters, but this was a nice brisk explanation! Though I only recommend your tutorials for people who aren't really beginners...

[@clownisfoundop7693]

it feels like your my math teacher but i actually have fun and i really do understand you nice tutorial
