[@beanosdrhm7849]

welding a vehicle is harder then making metartables

I have finally finished this and the other series. I wish everyone good luck on their scripting journeys!

[@MwSama]

Thanks for the tutorial. I remember watching this 1 year ago, and it somewhat helped, but was a bit confusing. But after coding a lot more and getting more experienced with java which is mainly objected oriented programming, I understand this a lot more.

[@jayismayo]

I wrote notes while watching lol

[@jaysallbedi]

Hey AlvinBlox Long time lol, have been really busy with work and daily life, but this was just the thing I was waiting for thanks so much for sticking by always for your subscribers and regular viewers and future scripters! As usual, all tutorials have been well explained just like a professional, and anyone can always count on the comment section for any doubts! Great Going and Keep up the Hard Work!

[@lol-te2zz]

Great vid alvin ! Thank you so much . You deserve a like U teached me a lot :D

[@peashootersmg2]

12:04 that "okidoki" was great

[@nulzn8691]

When you said, "If you load a players data and they haven't got any money saved, they get the default value of 50 coins." When you said that. Everything clicked. Thank you for helping me!

[@oscoolerreborn]

your voice has officially become nostalgic- wow, thanks :]

[@BrawlBattle]

That explanation was flawless, another great tutorial!

[@YoItsDolphin]

man, I would like to thank you alvinblox for teaching me how to script for 2 years.

[@MrMisha-kn3mm]

We got a Metatables tutorial, now we just need Metachairs

[@0onima]

Freaking incredible man, you simplified the explanation of metatables, this is a great resource.

[@ItzTray]

I feel really good when he talks about scripting just makes it feel good ik im weird

[@hobis_wife]

Thank you for making so much sense in your scripting tutorials! I actually watched this video months ago, but then I took a huge hiatus and completely forgot what metatables are so I had to rewatch this 😂I was looking at the metatables page in the developer hub and it wasn't making much sense, but in your video you really try and make sure people understand what you're trying to say by using terms that we know such as events. I really appreciate this. Thank you!!! 😊

[@articticcblu]

LAMO XD

[@mattarello5603]

I waited for this video for a while year. I can't express my gratitude.

[@jar3040]

bro alvinblox's voice has almost completely matured, its surreal to see someone grow from nothing into something

[@tealic367]

I’ve been waiting for this lol

[@dep1016]

ok, this is one of the hardest stuff to understand in roblox, thanks for making this vid!

[@neofilomata3254]

tecnically is onthe easy side, it´s just the damn syntax that´s a fucking mess. Edit: and the way metatables are: Tables inside tables that add extrafunctionality to the table.

[@xeen8331]

Hopefully, he does OOP next.

[@justmasterjustred3509]

while i was searching of how metaballs work i just notice you post it

[@CADEATERTOP3248]

Finally someone that can actually EXPLAIN coding. Love you AlvinBlox thanks for the work you do just for our benefit

[@taradowers1115]

👀I was watching you old videos and your voice has changed alot and I mean ALOT

[@total_eclipses]

Thank you, this was helpful. You made one of the hardest things in roblox one of the easiest things to understand, thank you. One thing that you could do next is show us how to do that furniture placement system you mentioned once in a previous vid

[@justcommenting4824]

Anyway to make a decal code gui platform? So basically, there’s a paper morph platform, and a code input gui platform connected to it. When you walk onto the paper morph platform, you turn into the morph. When you walk onto the code input gui platform, it opens a gui where you can input a decal id from the catalog that would appear in the paper morph platform. Then when you walk onto the paper morph platform, you turn into the inputted idz It’s basically a custom decal generator to turn into as a paper morph..? I’d really love a tutorial or even a bit of help..

[@mrequable]

Alvin, I have an idea for a tutorial series. Could you show us how to script a game like Restaurant Tycoon or My Restaurant? I would love to know how to make a tycoon where you server customers to earn money and buy more items to earn even more

[@elmars302]

Metatables, as helpful as they seem, are quite easily forgotten though :D If you don't work with tables, or anything that uses a lot of them, such as Object-Oriented Programming, then chances are you'll forget it. The tutorial's helpful though. Will save it just in case :D
