Vector3.new() is a function. Functions in Lua are things that you use to edit something. This tutorial explains how to use Vector3.new.

Vector3.new() has many uses in ROBLOX. It can be used for Position, Size, Velocity, Force, and many more things.

Let's start with the basics. To use Vector3.new(), you must put something, anything, inside the parenthesis. Note that not all functions require this, but this function must edit 3 values, each standing for 3 dimensions. So in reality, its Vector3.new(%x, y, z%).

For example. If you want to change your Position, this is not the way to go:

Code:

game.Workspace.%Player%.Torso.Position = 0,100,0[/strike] --[[change %Player% into your name--]]

You must do this:

Code:

game.Workspace.%Player%.Torso.Position =  Vector3.new(0,100,0)

Hooray! You learned how to use Vector3.new(x,y,z)! Now. Let's take this deeper.

If you were to do something like this...

Code:

game.Workspace.%Player%.Torso.Position = Vector3.new(%x, z%)

... you would get x, y, not x, z right? You want to just change your x and z dimensions. To fix this you do this:

Code:

[[game.Workspace.%Player%.Torso.Position = game.Workspace.%Player%.Torso.Position + Vector3.new(%x%, 0, %z%)]] --[[ i just use brackets for multi-line stuff --]]

There's another thing I wan't to go over. If you add math.random(%x, y%) into play, you can have more power than you can ever imagine. math.random(%x, y%) is an important function, of course, for random numbers. Now you can make your dimensions go wild!

Also the Instance.new("%String%) function is good to use. With this function you can create many object players use to build things on ROBLOX.

while true do simply means make an infinite loop. To execute the loop, you must end the loop with end. This can only be broken with the function break(), but let's not get to technical here.

Let's use Velocity this time.

Code:

while true do
    local vel = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
    [[vel.Velocity = Vector3.new(math.random(1,100), math.random(1,100),
    math.random(1,100))]]
    vel.Parent = workspace.%Player%.Torso --[[ workspace is shortcut for
    game.Workspace]]
    wait(5)
end

hmmm... this looks pretty good

not bad

Lengthy, nice.

thx, but i just thought about adding wait(10) in the while true do loop

nah, it would be too complicated for beginners.

Code:

while wait(10) do

I always use that

nice

how does it work, though? does wait() return true when it is executed, and return false when the function is completed? that's what im thinking

I dunno. O.o

wait() always returns true

oh. nvm. i was thinking something else.

v.Position = (((p.Position + v.Position)/2) + p.Position ^ 2)

:33

what are you talking about?

@naknak- while true do
wait(10) --seems more formal to me than while wait(10) do

while wait(10) do -- more convienent for people who have to encrypt there code (like me)


Size matters. The smaller it is, the easier it is to encrypt. But I am the only one who ever encrypts, so bleh.

Note to self: Size matters; Smaller is easier...

Smaller is easier IF you can handle it ;)

but the disadvantage is that you must wait10) first. maybe this is what you want, maybe not.

if u wanna encrypt something then don't use white spaces. And make the function names shorter:

p=print
p("hi")

I made an encrypted that can encrypt over 2000000 characters without crashing! I tested it with a 272k long line script! :P

how do you encrypt your script with lua?

one way is :byte()
