Why is this needed in any gen skript?

[_U4R1A_]

I was looking through some gen skripts to try and either take inspiration or learn something, and I noticed they all had the line:                     

set {gens::%location of event-block%} to uuid of player

As in

on place of hay block:
    set {gens::%location of event-block%} to uuid of player
    if {gens::%player's uuid%} < 10:
        add 1 to {gens::%player's uuid%}
        while event-block is hay block:
            wait 80 ticks
            drop 1 wheat above location of event-block

Why is that there?

I also see

set {genlocation::%location of event-block%} to uuid of player

sometimes and im guessing its the same as the other.

Finally, how would I use them?

This is essentially a way for the skript to save the location of the generator that is specific to the person who has placed it. Since there are multiple players [more than 1] and each player has multiple generators, there needs to be something that holds all of the values of who placed which gen at what location, and set {gens::%location of event-block%} to uuid of player just happened to be one of the simplest ways to do it for people understanding it and for the skripters themselves. Hope this helps you understand a bit more!

I actually have been having a problem with others being able to upgrade player's gens. How can i use this though?

You don't need to bump every few hours. just be patient till someone comes and answers it. 

To actually drops tuff at those location variables you set, just loop it and drop it at the loop value like

loop {gens::*}:
	drop stick at loop-value

If you dont understand your own skript i suggest altering it to your level to advance then grow to that not dive straight into the deep end you could also do

            while event-block is (your gen block):

                wait 35 seconds

                if event-block is (your gen block):

                    drop (gen item) at event-block

#Add your place variables and what not on top

just realised i posted what you already have basically its checking how many gens a player has then if the block is a gen then spawn item there sorry for the bad post
