No, It will randomly choose one of the strings from the table based on your script, try using it and tell us if it works. |

The Roblox Wiki is an excellent resource for scripting, I recommend starting with learning simple concepts such as strings and variables and then merging those concepts to improve your scripting skills, I would also suggest using an online translator to translate it into your language, although the translation may be somewhat inaccurate.
Here's the link,

Try to start on your own pace.

Alright, I'll explain to help you,
Let's pretend that I have a bunch of Strings ranging from "One to "Five" and I want to arrange these in order and store them together, I would of course, create a table,
NumTab = {"One","Two","Three","Four","Five"}
However, what if I decide I want to find a specific string by searching directly through the table, well in this case, I will use a generic for loop to do that, I also want to find "Two".
for i,v in pairs(NumTab) do
if v == "Two" then
print("Two has ... |

Actually, I personally think that learning about strings,tables and variables are good things to learn as a beginner, you don't have to learn the more complex ways to use them yet, just enough to do something simple that you will understand. However, It's important to slow down and do things at your own pace, learn each one at once and practice to grasp the concept. |

To help simplify string's for you,
Imagine that I wanted to send someone a message with the word Hello, if I tried to use,
print(Hello)
it would "return" nil in output, ignoring the "return" I mentioned for now, the engine would think that Hello was a "variable". However, if I used,
print("Hello")
it would print Hello.
Think of using those various characters to create strings as grouping up a bunch of letters and showing the engine that you want it to read those letters as though it was a norma... |

Well, you could create a "Table",

Store the strings and then loop through it. |

Well, let's pretend that you were telling someone Hello, well, in this case, I want output to print or tell me Hello, If I typed out print(Hello), output would think that I'm referring to something, such as a variable with a stored value, however, for example, if I typed out something like print("Hello") that would tell the engine that I only want it to read what's inside the double quotation marks without executing any other kind of special commands other then just "printing" out Hello, there's... |

"i" is the numerical position of the "Child" or in this case, "Strings" in the table.
"y" is the actual "Child" or "String" in the table. |
|
|
if script.Parent.Text == foods[ChildPositionHere] then --The "Child" in this case is one of the strings in the table.
print("Is a food!")
end |
|

That was just an example, you could use the previous suggestions without using any strings as long as an object named "BasePlate" is actually in existence. |

Usage of the substring function is a viable method for accomplishing this particular task.
Alternatively, if you desire for greater specification, you could utilize the string.gmatch() iterative function to obtain specified elements of the string, as specified below:
String = "Example";
for c in String:gmatch("%a") do
print(c);
end
The argument for the gmatch function would be any desired control-strings.
Although, it should be recognized that the variable "c" merely to the current charac... |

"infinite world"
It would not be a "true" infinite world, as computers can only maintain a finite quantity of data.
Rather, he/she would need to store and load "segments" of the world as needed.
Anyway, returning to the actual subject: Why not familiarize yourself with a concept that you cannot understand very well?
Perhaps you create a script to store random strings within a table? |
