Key Concepts Explained​

Touched Events​

Touched events fire when one part comes into contact with another. They're perfect for detecting when players interact with objects in your game.

Player Variables​

Variables stored in the player object persist throughout their session, making them ideal for tracking things like collected items or game progress.

Conditional Statements​

If statements allow your code to make decisions based on conditions, like checking whether a player has collected a key before opening a door.
