game.[service].[item].[property]: to reference something from the game in a script.

Boolean Value: only true or false.

Anchored: stays/can move in place, can/cannot be moved, only true or false.

Variable: Stores data. (Must be named, then insert =, and then define the data object.)

Instance.new: To make another item.

Vector3: To position a part, X,Y,Z axis used.

While Loops:Loops a script forever.

For Loops: Loops a script for a desired amount.

i = x,y,z = I = Counter, X = Starting Value, Y = Terminating Value, Z = increase of the number per loop.

Function: Runs a script, but must be told to run. (Define before calling it.)

Arguments: Substitutes the variables, and coding.

Parameters: Like variables, basically a type of function, has to be in order, (eg. 1,2).

Event: Something happens when triggered (by a part, coding, etc.)

..player.Name: When we don't know the name of a player.

If statements: Allows a script to perform if met requirements / conditions.

Relational Operator: Used as a condition to compare two values (or more).
Table: (Operator, Meaning, Example)
<, Less Than, 3 < 5, true
>, Greater Than, 3 > 5, false
<=, Less than or equal to, 5 <= 5, true
>=, Greater than or equal to, 3 >= 5, false
==, Equals, 3 == 5, false
-=, Does not equal, 3 -= 5, true

Boolean Operators: Allows more than 1 condition in the If statement, has 3 Values, 'and, or, not'.
'And' allows more than 2 conditions to be put in the If statement, for the statement to execute, both needs to be true.
'Or' is the same as 'And' but allows one to be false if wanted. At least one should be true, for the script to be executed.
'Not' is a Boolean Value that makes the script to be opposite.
