Ok I am learning about scripting little by little, but I have a question that may sound stupid. The command bar is that how you make a script. Like a long thing, do you write it all in the command bar? Or is there like some way to make a script you can give to people? The command bar making all those scripts it feels weird.

The command bar is a way to enter quick short scripts that run instantly in offline mode. To write an actual script, enter this code in the command bar: Instance.new("Script", workspace) Then, if the Explorer window is not already open, go to View -> Explorer. Then just find the newly created script in Workspace, and double click it. That's where you should script.

All thought what he said is nice, to make it so you further undestand. No you use a kind of program type notepad thing roblox has. I have never done what he said to do I guess its easyer to go to insert>object>script Then write your actual scripts in there!

@brandon - Of course, that works too. However, that's simply another way of doing the exact same thing.

To give a script to someone, you can either: A) Publish the script to Roblox, putting it in your account for people to take (Or for yourself). To do this, click on the script in the Explorer window, so that it's highlighted. Then, click on File, and Publish Selection to Roblox. From here, click new model, and give it a name and description. Click publish and it will be in your models. B) Take the code from the script, and PM it to someone. This way is somewhat messy, since it removes all the tabs, but can be easier (If you can't publish or something).
