Sorry but all the time while I'm programming I have questions, so to not spam the forum with simple questions like the following I decided to make a thread where I can post every question that I have (Sorry if my english is bad in this sentence)

Question:

How can I separe variables in a print command? i.e: I want to print these variables: "2" and "3" (var1 and var2) I do not want to be together, but separated by a space, just like this: "2 3" not "23"

You just concatenate with a space.

hello = "Hello"
world = "World"
print(hello.." "..world)

[Shnupbups]

local var1 = 2
local var2 = 3
print(var1.." "..var2)

Would do exactly what you're asking.

I'm not an admin or moderator, but I think I can safely speak for them to say that separate threads per question are still preferred. The threads should be about the questions; a single thread for your questions makes the thread about you, and if this trend were to grow, the forum would be clogged with "<blank's> questions" threads which would be completely unhelpful to someone searching the forum for their question rather than just reposting a question that's already been answered a hundred times - which is something we, along with the rest of the help-offering internet, strongly encourage.

:Edit: to clarify, if you're asking a series of questions related to a particular project, where there's important shared context, like your source, and the suggestions that have already been made, then stick with the same thread. But if they are fundamentally unrelated questions, with no shared context, they should be separate threads with meaningful titles related to the question.

Don't worry. If the necromancers arrive, i'm sure a staff will be happy to stop the black magic

Ok, sorry, just i thought that a simple question like that above will spam the forum

Most likely won't.

If you're really concerned that a question is so simple that it would just be spam, then search a little harder for the answer, using the Lua 5.1 manual, the wiki, and of course the forum.

If you can't find the answer, then it probably isn't spam...unless everyone else that asked the question decided that they didn't want to use a title that mentioned the subject of the question.
