00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:01,170
Welcome back.

2
00:00:01,190 --> 00:00:05,990
In this lecture, we're going to take a look at creating our first script and writing down our first

3
00:00:05,990 --> 00:00:09,380
lines of code to create a new script inside of our game.

4
00:00:09,380 --> 00:00:14,900
What we're going to do is we're going to hop into our Explorer menu here and to create a new object

5
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:20,600
inside of our server script service, we can hit this plus button here or we can right click it and

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,120
select the insert object option.

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:28,340
And inside of here we can go ahead and select a script if it automatically shows up for you here.

8
00:00:28,340 --> 00:00:31,640
But if it doesn't, we can also search for a script as well.

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,210
And this is the script that we would like to insert into our game.

10
00:00:35,690 --> 00:00:43,460
And a script is simply just a container of Lewis code that gets executed during the runtime of our game.

11
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:48,770
Inside of our script, you may see that there's already some code inside of here, which is a print

12
00:00:48,770 --> 00:00:55,100
function, printing out some text that would appear inside of our console or our output menu.

13
00:00:55,220 --> 00:01:00,140
Now what we could do inside of this print function is we're going to erase what's inside of here and

14
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,290
we're going to pass our own custom text that we would like to print into the console.

15
00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:10,260
So what we need to do is we would need to create a string data type, which we can create using either

16
00:01:10,260 --> 00:01:12,990
double quotations or a single quotation.

17
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:17,520
And a string is simply a collection or a string of characters.

18
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:23,370
So we can go ahead and type within this print function here a message like Hello and hi.

19
00:01:23,610 --> 00:01:27,240
This line that I've created right here is called a statement.

20
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,980
And a statement is simply a line of code that is telling the computer to do a specific task.

21
00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:36,330
If I wanted the computer to change the color of a part to be blue, that would be a statement.

22
00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:39,750
If I had a line of code that killed a player, that would also be a statement.

23
00:01:39,930 --> 00:01:45,810
We can also use this print function multiple different times by first typing out the identifier for

24
00:01:45,810 --> 00:01:50,370
this print function, which would be print, and then to call this print function, I would have to

25
00:01:50,370 --> 00:01:55,980
use two parentheses so I can put in the first one and the second one automatically gets filled out for

26
00:01:55,980 --> 00:01:56,400
me.

27
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,680
And now we can pass even more text inside of this print statement so I can type out another message

28
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,060
like Hello World.

29
00:02:03,650 --> 00:02:08,420
And if you'd like to pass multiple string data types to this print function, you can separate them

30
00:02:08,420 --> 00:02:09,680
by using a comma.

31
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:17,050
And I'm going to create another string here and say something like, This is the best course on Lulu

32
00:02:17,090 --> 00:02:17,780
scripting.

33
00:02:18,780 --> 00:02:25,080
Now, if you have a very keen eye, you should see that a new tab has appeared inside of studio.

34
00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:30,480
This is the script tab, which contains some extra buttons and features for working on scripts such

35
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,670
as some buttons for when you're working in team.

36
00:02:32,670 --> 00:02:37,450
Create and replacing some text, finding some text in a certain script and stuff like that.

37
00:02:37,470 --> 00:02:41,700
We will be going more in depth about the features of the script tab later in the course, but for now,

38
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:46,290
in this tab, let's go ahead and run our script by going to this play button and hitting the dropdown

39
00:02:46,290 --> 00:02:48,630
menu here and we're going to hit run.

40
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:51,030
Or you can also press F8 on your keyboard.

41
00:02:52,620 --> 00:02:58,200
So now that our game has run inside of our output menu, we have the text from our script printed inside

42
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,070
of the console.

43
00:02:59,220 --> 00:03:05,700
The console will also tell you whether or not the server or a client printed this message and it also

44
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:11,880
tells you the name of the script that printed it and at what line that this text was printed into the

45
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:12,270
console.

46
00:03:12,270 --> 00:03:16,350
So as you can see in line one of our script we printed out Hello and Hi.

47
00:03:16,380 --> 00:03:19,470
And at line two of our script we printed out Hello World.

48
00:03:19,470 --> 00:03:22,380
And this is the best course on how to use scripting.

49
00:03:23,010 --> 00:03:26,550
We can now go ahead and hit the stop button to end our testing.

50
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:27,990
And congratulations.

51
00:03:27,990 --> 00:03:32,750
You have successfully created your first script and even executed your first lines of code.

52
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,760
Just know that it's going to get a lot crazier from this point forward.

53
00:03:36,780 --> 00:03:42,330
For now, what I'd like for you to do is to continue messing with this print function, multiple calls

54
00:03:42,330 --> 00:03:47,340
if you'd like, and continue to print any types of text that you'd like into the console.

55
00:03:47,340 --> 00:03:52,350
In the next lecture, I'm going to explain to you the concept of variables and how you can use them

56
00:03:52,350 --> 00:03:53,160
in your scripts.

57
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:54,060
See you there.
