I love this guy so much, He's been doing the same series for 3 times now. From the time his voice was so small to a full grown teenager. I have to admit, I'm not an OG fan but I'm still glad I found his channel. Because of him, I made almost 3k robux from 3 seperate games that I made with a help from Alvin's videos. I pretty much quitted being a developer and forgotten all the scripting stuff. But this guy burst in with the tutorials. This can help me on making robux again. If you haven't subscribed, what are you doing in your life man. Alvin movin mad with the tutorials fam 🔥🔥
I want to say thanks to you. I have an interest in working at a space company in the future. And honestly, even though i am not coding much on roblox nowadays, i still have interest in roblox studio, and without it, i probably wouldnt have gotten interested in software engineering. And since u were my 90% source for learning roblox scripting basics, i really want to say thanks. Edit: You have literally affected many people's future, just by making videos.
this is so helpful!! i am an "old" roblox dev and moved to JavaScript and forgot how to script with roblox.... This series is so helpful!! Thank you bro
I’ve grown an interest in making a roblox game, and this is getting me really excited. The function part looks really cool, and I already understand it thanks to some experimenting in scratch.
Ahh yes that time of year :) Could we also possibly get an advanced animation video in the future too? Like custom rigs, making a spell appear out of nowhere, those kind of fundamentals?
These tutorials help me so much, because Alvin explains them so well, and explains the way the code behaves, meanwhile I just resume the stuff on my book, which helps a ton, thank you Alvin. And don't stop making these, you make for a great teacher.
I would like to add one somewhat helpful tip to this tutorial! You can simplify the script even more rather than leaving the argument every time with changeTransparency(game.Workspace.AlvinBlox, 0.5) or whatever. We can shorten it using Local and naming the part something simple as it follows : local Subject = game.Workspace.AlvinBlox function changeTransparency(part, newTransparency) part.Transparency = newTransparency end changeTransparency(Subject, 0.5) wait(2) changeTransparency(Subject, 0.75) Hope someone finds this useful! I just thought of it while also trying to pick on learning scripting again watching these awesome tutorials!
@Varil Celan Worked for me though, you should probably check thoroughly for any mistakes. Something like this happened to me once, I overlooked the mistake and then finally after 10 minutes I noticed it.
Hey Alvin, I was just passing by and saw this video, even though I know lua, i still wanted to check it out, its so nice you help others achieve their dreams
I've wanted to make my own game since 2015 and I keep giving up and trying again but the videos all are hard to understand 6 years later I started watching you and you've helped a lot thank you so much AlvinBlox! you're the best.
Hello Alvin! using your coding and the stuff ive learned i made a simple command to say "hello World!" then make a blocks texture pebble, wait 5 seconds then make it clear! thank you for posting these videos!
these are suprisingly easy to follow, yet so useful. im not an easy learner at all, sometimes it takes me months to learn stuff in school, but this? thank you so much.
Hi I’m a python developer and I didn’t know roblox Studio and python code is so similar they are both easy for beginners thanks man I really enjoy watching ur videos and in the same time I learn it’s a win win dude appreciate it
Yet again, helped so much! This is the script i came up with (the part is Xcale) print("Script began") function changeTransparency(part,newTransparency) part.Transparency = newTransparency end print("Lines 2-4 executed") changeTransparency(game.Workspace.Xcale,0.5) print("Executed line 6") wait(2) print("Executed line 8") changeTransparency(game.Workspace.Xcale,0) print("Executed line 10") wait(2) print("Executed line 12") changeTransparency(game.Workspace.Xcale,1) print("Script ran successfully")
Thank you so much, honestly, I have had game ideas for years and just never understood what to do, but, now I'm getting there little by little because of these videos!
these series are going to help a ton because im trying to work on a game alone not knowing how to code or build things, but now im learning how to code and im taking notes on a note book to make sure i remember it. thank you for this! :)
I learned a lot from you and understand the most of things, learning functions are the most useful things if your a really bad typer or your hands hurt while doing typing. I really liked this video and I hope this comment gives you motivation
"Whats the point of making a function? It's not all that bad to write out a but more code" Not only is it needed for events, but it can also help optimize your game. As in, the more efficient your code is, the better your game will run. So you aren't dropping fps for a dumb reason Cause, simply put, if an instruction sent to the cpu requires less code, it will be done faster. So obviously, it makes the program run faster
I took a year of computer science in high school and hated it. So far I have learned way more from these videos then I did in that year (And I enjoy following along with my own game :)
Alvin,u helped me alot thanks u so much I was gonna quit roblox studio but.you changed my mind I see your future being the best roblox employee and my dream is to work with u
Thank you so much for this series I’m working on my first game and it’s pretty big but I have zero knowledge keep up this series for people like me I learn a lot from you more people should be like you tysm
Tysm!!! I saved thousands of lines of code by using functions!!! Instead of copying code manually to each action, you could do actionFunction(argument) This is awesome! 😎 👍
Thanks alvin! this years tutorial imo was the best explained out of all and you help me learn simple lua scripting :D so far i know (while true do, if statement, fynctions, properties, how to make a leaderboard, findfirstchild) and so much more that i cant think of rn Thanks man :D
you could use a avariable so that you dont have to write game.Workspace.Alvinblox for example: function changeTrans(part,NewTrans) part.Transparency = NewTrans end changetrans = game.Workspace.Baseplate.Part changeTrans(changetrans,1)
Here is a simpler explanation if you still dont understand Functions are something you can store code in, but that isnt the best way to explain it Lets say if someone joins and you want it to print something, but you also want it to happen when you touch something. So you use the same function for example. function SampleFunction() print("Yay!") - - Or other lines here end game.Player.Playeradded:Connect(SampleFunction) workspace.part.Touched:Connect(SampleFunction) They both use the same 'function' because I connected them to the function I wanted to (SampleFunction) So if someone joins the game it prints the "Yay!", or if someone touches a specific part it also Prints "Yay!"
ive been watching since your 2020 series, nice job man. you do a good job going in depth on nearly everything and im coming back to see what your doing different for the new series :)
Thanks for the support on this series so far everyone :)
First!
And also Alvin your tutorials help me soo much
Keep making great tutorials like this which helps me and my fellow scripters a lot.
TY

@Salxs Roblox scripting is considered 'easy' and is a good introductory way to get into scripting a step up from scratch

Yay another tutorial. I am looking forward for it.
Glad to hear :)
Me too

Yes, it's simpler, but he most likely didn't do this as he hasn't touched on variables in this series yet.
Thanks, when i did alvins way it didnt work.........

You explain everything very smoothly and make sure it’s easy to understand. Thank you, I am learning how to script at a fast rate.

this guy is so good at teaching roblox code
Alvin, without you in our world, roblox studio wouldn't be a thing
The vids in this series are literally the only scripting lesson vids I actually understand 😅 so yah Tysm for the awesome vids keep it up ☺️
Alvin blox, you basicly inspired me to watch ur vids and learn scripting in roblox, which ya’ helped me with along the way. Thank you.
i have watched millions of scripting tutorial but never understood
but i understand only u
u are the best
Hi I’m a python developer and I didn’t know roblox Studio and python code is so similar they are both easy for beginners thanks man I really enjoy watching ur videos and in the same time I learn it’s a win win dude appreciate it

Thank you so much, honestly, I have had game ideas for years and just never understood what to do, but, now I'm getting there little by little because of these videos!
i get so excited whenever u come out with a new tutorial
watching your series is the only way i learned how to script
thanks man
thank you so much i wanna be a game dev when i become older and im working really hard to learn how to script and your videos help me alot thanks :)
Just learned what debugging was. Thank you Alvin.
I sometimes have good ideas for games but i have no experience you are saving my life
Alvin your the goat man. I didn't understand any of this until I watched you. Thank you so much
Alvin your the best I haven’t fully found out how to script but your the only youtuber who’s actually teached me for once
this dude changed my life forever
I really love how you put so much information into 10 minute videos!
these series are going to help a ton because im trying to work on a game alone not knowing how to code or build things, but now im learning how to code and im taking notes on a note book to make sure i remember it. thank you for this! :)
You are young but a great teacher. Kudos
thank you dude i had forgotten how to make functions but now i remember how to because i watched 30% of the video
this is the best tutorial ever ive always put off learning to code later since i thought it was going to be hard but this proves otherwise
Thank you a lot, I was trying all things to develop: Animations, UGC, GFX, Building, Modelling. And I never saw this good Script Tutorials.
Please Continue this series!
Really nice to have an updated version of the beginner scripting tutorial and it's nice your back!
Hey, thanks!
Thank you for making these tutorials. I’ve come a long way in scripting on Roblox. My first scripting tutorials were these. They really helped me out.
I learned a lot from you and understand the most of things, learning functions are the most useful things if your a really bad typer or your hands hurt while doing typing. I really liked this video and I hope this comment gives you motivation
Thanks soooo much for this series it helped SOOO MUCH ur the best person ever in scripting AND you know how to explain VERYYY WELL
I like how he doesn't just bunch all yhe videos into one because when i see one hour plus tutorials i kinda feel overwhelmed
Loved this! You make scripting somewhat fun while educational
Thanks a million! Could never wrap my head around functions.
You're very welcome! All the best to you my friend. Alvin
I'm literally 11 and i started scripting.
U won Alvin 😁
Underrated and dedicated
These scripting tutorials helped me alot! Thank you so much!
You learnt scripting yet?
i was confused in the first 2 minutes but then i understand thanks bro this was helpful too :)
i finally understand parameters.
OMG I JUST REALISED HOW HELPFUL THIS IS, THANK YOU SOOOOM MUCHH
I am so happy about the fact that I've had to do little to no debugging so far.
I tried to learn how to script sinxe last year but a lot of tutorials went straight to the point and it confused me- this one help me a lot 👌
I love how much detail you put into your teaching!
The moment I understood what he was talking about made me extremely happy.
YAY A TUTORIAL AGAIN IM SUBS AND LIKEEEE LIKE IT SO MUCHHH!!!!!
This is the only video that i havent skipped
This is so interesting... I never knew what functions actually did but it all makes sense now.
bro alvin your tutorial is so good learned so much in so little time

All you’re videos are so helpful and it’s for free you deserve more subs
These tutorials are helping me so much! Thank you
Tysm, i could make a cube that slowly dissapears over 1 second! That's the most advanced thing i've ever scripted.
Alvin,u helped me alot thanks u so much I was gonna quit roblox studio but.you changed my mind I see your future being the best roblox employee and my dream is to work with u
used this for reference for my first script, it worked!!! so proud of myself
I have looked at tons of videos that teach LUA script. None of them worked except for Alvin's videos.
Thank you so much for this series I’m working on my first game and it’s pretty big but I have zero knowledge keep up this series for people like me I learn a lot from you more people should be like you tysm
Don't go for a big project first, start small and work your way up.
Yey! New video!
I love this series
I give scripting tutorials
i was subbed since 2017!
I was looking forward to a new video on functions! I really enjoyed watching this episode!😀
this is the easiest tutorial ive ever seen, it helps me alot cause i suck at scripting
i watched this yesterday and learned so much i also took good notes but imma listen to it while reading comments.
I was doubting me being able to make a game with this series but by looking at the comments, I'm hopefull! :D
ilysm, you explained it clearly.
Alvin i dont know what i would do without you :)
Thanks! :D
It was painful at first, but now, I have got it! :D
KEEP IT UP! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
These are AMAZING tutorials, I literally started coding today and I know a lot more than I thought I would. Your getting a sub!!!
Oh my god thank you Alvin! Because of you I’ve learnt something I never thought I’d learn
At first, I was too scared to make my dream game (A horror one) 😅. But now I made a 60 FPS game. Thanks a lot😊
We always put the fun in functions!
You deserve a lot more views man! Thanks!
Tysm!!! I saved thousands of lines of code by using functions!!!
Instead of copying code manually to each action, you could do actionFunction(argument)

ive allways wanted to learn functions ty!
you could use a avariable so that you dont have to write
game.Workspace.Alvinblox
for example:
function changeTrans(part,NewTrans)
part.Transparency = NewTrans
end
changetrans = game.Workspace.Baseplate.Part
changeTrans(changetrans,1)
Here is a simpler explanation if you still dont understand
Functions are something you can store code in, but that isnt the best way to explain it
Lets say if someone joins and you want it to print something, but you also want it to happen when you touch something. So you use the same function for example.
function SampleFunction()
print("Yay!")
- - Or other lines here
end
game.Player.Playeradded:Connect(SampleFunction)
workspace.part.Touched:Connect(SampleFunction)
They both use the same 'function' because I connected them to the function I wanted to (SampleFunction)
So if someone joins the game it prints the "Yay!", or if someone touches a specific part it also Prints "Yay!"
ive been watching since your 2020 series, nice job man. you do a good job going in depth on nearly everything and im coming back to see what your doing different for the new series :)
thank you for switching to dark mode as soon as tutorial 3
I gave my test subject a friend, thanks for the tutorial!
This is a big progression! now i can make stuff change transparency in front of my eyes in the game!
