Hello, I was watching a video by alvin blox and I saw that he had some arrows in his script editor that look like this:
How do I enable those? I tried all of the settings in the script editor and I ended up with this:
Just a bunch of dots.
Edit: I don’t know the right category for this.
Thank you!

I think that’s just a tab character, while you have four spaces.
Copy and paste this code into your editor:
--[[
These are tabs
a
b
c
These are spaces
a
b
c
--]]

When indenting, try using tab instead of spaces.

Nevermind, it’s likely what @PapaBreadd mentioned – I don’t use the whitespace setting so I came to the conclusion of using tab instead of space based on the differences in symbols.

When I press tab (even inside a table) this happens:
You’re doing that inside of block comments, not a table.
Try creating a table like shown in the screenshot from the original post and doing that:
local myTable = {
-- Click tab inside of the table
}

Uncheck “Indent Using Spaces” in the Script Editor settings.

Here’s a screenshot I just took in Studio as an example – this is inside of a table and the arrows were tabs while the dots were spaces:
You might need to disable the setting that @nicemike40 brought up as well (which I was also unaware of, haha. I feel very sloppy with my explanations today
)
