Any one ever notice how Lua help in FP works?

Hey guys, what's wrong with my code?

Code: [Select]

for i,1 maxplayers do
curtime = myvariable
end


Lua expert posts:

Dude, that's terrible. Do it like this:

Code: [Select]

For i,1 MaxPayers do
CurTime = MySuperTable[i] = 2 * (const*5)
return loop false;
end;

You guys are so stupid, watch and learn, noobs.
