Confusion on when to use dots or colons

For example: local player = game:GetService(“Players”).LocalPlayer In this line of code after game we use the semi-colon and afterwards we use the dot to refer to LocalPlayer. What exactly is the difference between a dot and a colon?

Difference between : and .?

Colon functions are what’s called syntatical sugar, they’re special pieces of code. They allow use of the self parameter without defining it, self is what table the function belongs to. Only functions can make use of this. If you were to call a colon function as a full stop function then you’d have to provide self yourself as the first argument. ie. local t = { Cheese = "nice" } function t:foo() print(self.Cheese) end t:foo() --nice t.foo(t) --nice
