Your question is extremely confusing, but I can tell you this wouldn’t work;

print("Hello",,"World!")

instead try;

print("Hello","World!")

There are several methods on printing if that’s what you mean. You can easily do the following to print;

print("Hello"..obj1..obj2) -- ect
print(obj1,obj2) -- ect
print("Hello")

I don’t think there’s more secrets to printing, this is the extreme basics of programming.

What do you mean by “script about printing”, print is just a built-in function, which littearly prints something in the output.

Here is more info if you want

print("Hello!", "World", 5, true) --you put multiple arguments into it, which is why it's called a variadic function
print("Hello!".."World") --this is called concatenating, meaning connecting multiple strings together
print("Hello!".." ".."World") --you can concatenate many things

--the ",," you used isn't valid syntax in lua, the "..." is a valid thing though, it's not related to strings though

What is your question exactly? Don’t make scripting support topics for no reason and just beacuse you can, thank you

Printing is mainly for debugging scripts, and making sure they work. I still do not understand where you’re coming from for your question, printing doesn’t have different functions.

Example:

print(50*100^3/4.." is some random math")

However, you can’t print tables alone, as it will print the table itself , not the objects in it. So if you where going to attempt that, you’d need a for index and value statement.

Use the three ```symbol:

--This is a code block
print("Test")

Then the three dots are for concacting two strings (don‘t know how to it was write, bad englisch sorry), you should read the wiki

That only works with two dots, and it’s concatenation. (The verb is spelled concatenate.) Three dots is for a function with a variable number of arguments, and is unrelated.

Sorry, i have want to write two, but write three. Three dots are for variadic functions, you have right.
