Hello. I'm going to teach you some of the basics of scripting. Starting with something called while true do and end, very important properties in scripting with Lua. To start it off, I'll show you a simple "Fog" script and then break it down for you.
<pre/>
<pre/>
while true do --Starts the loop off
while true do --Starts the loop off
m = Instance.new ("Message") --Introduces a new message for the server to show
m = Instance.new ("Message") --Creates a message. Reffrences it as 'm'
m.Parent = game.Workspace --Makes it exist
m.Parent = game.Workspace --Sets the Parent.
m.Text = "FOG!!!!!!!!" -- Makes the message say FOG!!!!!
m.Text = "Warning!" -- Makes the message say 'Warning!'
wait(0.1) --It waits that long
wait(2) --Sets how long until the text is changed.
m.Text = "Fog Alert!" --Sets the message to 'Fog Alert!'
wait(2) --Makes the script wait this long before repeating.
end --Finishes the loop
end --Finishes the loop
</pre>
</pre>


While true do and end are loop starters and enders. Loops are things that happen over and over. Very useful at times. Here's another example of while true do and end. In the form of a killing script.

wait(10)--Waits 2 seconds before repeating.

This is a basic scripting tutorial.

Scripting

This will teach you some of the basics of scripting. Starting with something called 'while true do' and 'end', very important terms in Lua scripting. They both create 'loops' which repeat after an ammount of time. If no ammount of time is set, Roblox will crash. To start it off, I'll show you a simple "Fog" script and then break it down for you. 



while true do --Starts the loop off
m = Instance.new ("Message") --Creates a message. Reffrences it as 'm'
m.Parent = game.Workspace --Sets the Parent.
m.Text = "Warning!" -- Makes the message say 'Warning!'
wait(2) --Sets how long until the text is changed.
m.Text = "Fog Alert!" --Sets the message to 'Fog Alert!'
wait(2) --Makes the script wait this long before repeating.
end --Finishes the loop




Here's another example of 'loops' in the form of a killing script:






while true do
a = game.Workspace.PlayerName --Put a person's name here.
a:BreakJoints() --Breaks the person's joints.
wait(10)--Waits 2 seconds before repeating.
end




Short; but effective in Script Builders.
