| ==Introduction==
| | #redirect [[Methods]] |
| | |
| Methods are functions which belong to a particular object. Although standard Lua doesn't have them, they're a major focus of Roblox Lua. | |
| Methods act like a function stored within an object. The method itself is accessed in the same way a Function in a Table is accessed. However, a special property of methods changes how they are called.
| |
| | |
| These two codes call the same function (a) with the same parameters (b).
| |
| | |
| <pre>b.a(b)
| |
| b:a()
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| The second is more brief and concise. Methods can increase typing speed, because there is less need to retype variable names.
| |
| Methods may or may not return data.
| |
| | |
| ==Examples==
| |
| | |
| All instances (possibly excluding) some core services, have the remove method, along with the clone method.
| |
| Sounds have the Play method and the Stop method.
