for example a = dostuff a is only used in the enclosing function, consider changing it to local does local a = dostuff even change anything?

local variables are obtained faster than normal variables they also only are accessible in their scope source: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Variable#Local_Variables

always use local variables example: local x = "hi" print(x) > hi local function print() local y = "bye" print(y) end > bye print(y) (outside of the function, aka scope) > nil - RobuxLife | Discord - RobuxLife#4128 | - RobuxLife | Discord - RobuxLife#4128 |
