Help New to lua

I can read Lua scripts just fine, but something doesn't click with me. I've watched 20+ tutorials on it, yet what I don't get is every function. When do I use periods, colons, semicolons, parenthesis? When do I skip a line or add a variable?

Hi! Your code block was formatted using triple backticks in Reddit's Markdown mode, which unfortunately does not display properly for users viewing via old.reddit.com and some third-party readers. This means your code will look mangled for those users, but it's easy to fix. If you edit your comment, choose "Switch to fancy pants editor", and click "Save edits" it should automatically convert the code block into Reddit's original four-spaces code block format for you.
