Tables (table.remove / table.insert) - Beginner Roblox Scripting #17

[@AlvinBlox]

I know in the video I said we're looking at For Loops but I went off course, and then the video was getting kinda long so I thought I'd delay, and do for in pairs loops in the next video. Sorry, but you need to be HOT on tables first so you understand for loops!

Just at this level of your turtorials where I have watched all previous scripting tutorial videos I am able to say I fully under stand how a big name title such as doors works in scripting where as before I never could've imagined how it worked thanks to you thank you so much (ps if this sounds weird my thoughts might be jambled a little I was just going of about this and my train of thought kinda derailed)

[@trapmusic8343]

Thank you for the next video! I hope you'll keep uploading more of the tutorials, keep up the good work!

That's the plan!

Alvinblox you have a talent of explaining anything to anyone with ease and you are so smooth with your examples! Everyday when I watch your videos I feel really smart and I never have any questions with the scripting because you teach it precisely. You define what teaching is meant to be. Great job m8 and thank you.

[@hermansmyth916]

Thank you so much for explaining this so well. I tried programming two years ago and came no where. Now i have listend through a bunch of vidoes whilst taking notes and i have learned about for i, v, in pairs, tables and Vector3. Im planning on learning so much more!

[@maliennn]

I just want to tell you how grateful I am that you are making these videos. If it wasn't for your videos I don't know if I would've continued to try and start learning scripting, but after I came across your content im inspired to learn every single day because of you. Thank you AlvinBlox.

[@polution6555]

I love how u're explaining the situations, its very helpful. Thanks

[@PrimitiveLife4m]

One thing I like about these tutorials is that he uses actual parts. Most tutorials use printing instead of actual part instances.

[@Infernall]

Its sad you don't get as much views as before these are really informative and teach you a lot.

[@Leo-ip3yx]

It's not that he gets less views, there was just a big drop off as with every video series. More people start then you get less and less views because people drop off from impatience, difficulty, boredom, etc.

[@kl1147]

im honestly surprised by myself as I have not given up yet.

[@plomns]

Instead of having to type in game.workspace.baseplate in myTable you can instead just reference "myVar" because it equals that value.

[@xDarkRegionx]

I can't believe a person teaching from yt and I learning,THANK YOU!! I love them, now I know coding, and you used tables in your sword fright game tutorial video.

thanks for these videos.. i genuinely find them easy to learn from and fun

[@AlvinBlox]

Glad you like them!

[@domtu7129]

quick overview a table is like a variable that can store a lot of values that can be different data types. The contents of a table have a position in the table, it starts from the first value in the table and counts by 1 in ascending form til every value has a position number. If a value in the table has been removed/added, the rest of values shift positions. Tables have a lot of practicality, they go well with for loops.

[@yourmother5706]

For those of you who cannot think of a practical way to use what you learnt from alvinblox believe me there will be a day you wish you didnt think that.

[@sf-1008]

Hey Alvin Love your videos, but I just wanted to say an idea I had to add into your videos. There's a lot of people out there that watch your videos, and really do wanna learn about scripting (ex. Like Me lol) and I thought maybe you should give them a mission to do after every video, like make a script that's different from what you made from the video, but requires the learning you made in this video, and use it to Make a Script. Y'know what I'm saying? still love you videos, learned a lot from you Alvin! Thanks for helping us out!!

You are the best scripter and explainer in the world, i am actually learning. God bless you! Btw i know how i can use table as a thing in a game, you can add placement to your game, example you have created a racing game and that one that came first will place first! And then other player placed 2nd and its keep going!

Hi Alvin - love your tutorials - they are really helping me out to script and make a game with some friends. I'm trying to teach them as well and your free draw thing you use to draw looks like extreme help. could you tell me how to do it / what the app is? sorry for commenting in 2023 not 2020 lol I'm a little late thanks :D

[@briannguyen7086]

It's trippy when the first value in a table isn't 0

[@Frosty.eventvibes]

Hello Alvin! How are you!!!?

[@concena]

What I suggest to you is you just skip it when you find something extra by saying "you don't need that right now" but talking for myself, if someone uses something extra on a tutorial video it gets a better place in my mind so I think you should use them too

[@AlvinBlox]

Thanks for the tip, I don't go into those things because they can confuse people and make the tutorial 10x longer for something they won't even need yet.

[@concena]

@@AlvinBlox Yeah you're right but I'm someone who started learning Lua on your channel and now I'm getting better and better and my dream is teaching Lua one day. It was hard because none of the videos met my requests. Best videos are from your channel, even when I ask for dev support in Roblox discord they recommend your videos. Now, I learnt lua's logic and I just suggest that because if I saw a function in one video, at least for a short time maybe I'm not learning it in there but at least it's now in my mind. When I'm coding I can just say "Yes I remember bla bla channel using this here." and quickly look up in Devforum and use it. By the way, thanks for responding. I didn't think that you would response.

Hi AlvinBlox can you suggest a game for us to make using all the things you taught us so far? Even if its not a game its ok, just something for us to make since doing things practically helps us to understand more on how this codes work( IDK if its the same for everyone but thats how I understand and learn things quicker and better.) I hope you get to read this and make this true

[@livinroblox9258]

You can always just make it Players.1, Players.2 and it will remove until 1 player is left so then when it hits 1 it says "Game Ended" Wow im actually learning from this :D

so i think u can use tables to make a random guy in the round a role? (for example in hide and seek the role would be seeker in murder mystery it's gonna be murderer and in piggy it's gonna be the piggy)
