[carmine yacht]

why

[lucid blade]

So I've been wondering for a while how pls donate can have 2 leaderboards which 4 different time periods, essentially 8 leaderboards without hitting datastore limits. I can't even have 2 datastores working at once, let alone 8

[carmine yacht]

@tacit tendon if you use modules i think you can also return typechecked table in general

[carmine yacht]

because they dont update every second

[lucid blade]

They update every min

[carmine yacht]

they have intervals and they update the data on leave/every few active minutes

also having a data module really helps

[lucid blade]

Oh

[carmine yacht]

because you can integrate your global updating into them

something like profiles

[lucid blade]

So I should migrate to profilestore?

is someone able to make a shop gui system:

• Just make a boxing glove that can knockback people. and make it so i can customize how far it can knockback.
• Make it cost money in the gui. i alr got the currency set up.
• make some kind of armor that has a percentage of resistance against knockbacks. (in shop)
  -# gui can look as ugly as u want as it isnt your profession.

and lmk if you can make gamepasses that do stuff.
for ex: infinite knockback glove, or skip obby, and so on

[lofty parrot]

The issue you're having is you're only setting the stunned value once when the script begins and it's never updated

So if stunned was false when the script started, then it'll remain false

What you need to do is check the attribute

So,

if Character:GetAttribute("Stunned") then
  return
end

Instead of if stunned == true then return end

[sturdy plume]

yo thanks it works

[signal shoal]

does anyone have the model for a claim ugc

me and my friend made a game but we wanna make it more "time well spent" by making it so after playing the game for 45 minutes u get a free ugc

i already have the ugc file ready and can upload it to roblox but I want the gui that makes u wait 45 min and then lets u claim 1 copy of the lim

ive searched youtube and asked others but found nothing

Guys what are u think about it

[slate helm]

not bad revive should be centered

[dusky imp]

I know, but I didn't have time for it today

And I struggled a bit with this xd

[hardy pilot]

Why is it off center

[dusky imp]

I'm thinking about revive coming out from the side and death note coming from the top

[dusky imp]

Because I wanted it to be like that, but looking at it now, it looks very bad

[bleak glade]

best way to add in a zoom feature? i thought about lerping to an aim part or adding a zoom animation but idk whats better

[rustic wharf]

Who's an expert scripter here

[dark juniper]

U

[rustic wharf]

Need to ask a question to someone very experienced

[dark juniper]

What’s the question

[rustic wharf]

local Scripts_Folder = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild('Scripts_Folder')
local Module_Scripts_Folder = Scripts_Folder:WaitForChild('ModuleScripts_Folder')
local CarrotCake_ModuleScript = require(Module_Scripts_Folder:WaitForChild('CarrotCake_ModuleScript'))```

Is this too many WaitForChild()

[dark juniper]

this is NOT a question for a very experienced person

also you do not need to put the wait for child in the require

I’ve never seen a scripter do that in my life

[rustic wharf]

It is

[dark juniper]

Deadass I’ve looked at so much code

[rustic wharf]

This is in a local script

[dark juniper]

I’ve never seen wait for child in require

You might be cooked…

[placid agate]

you should not be using WaitForChild unless this script is running before game.Loaded is fired.

[rustic wharf]

You might be cooked instead

[dark juniper]

I’ve been scripting for way longer than you why won’t you listen to me

💔

[rustic wharf]

And I just told you

It's in a local script

[dark juniper]

I’d consider your point if it was valid

But gang

[rustic wharf]

And the module script is inside replicated storage

[dark juniper]

This is not it

[rustic wharf]

It may not exist when you require it

[dark juniper]

Yes!!! You don’t need to call wait for child in require if it’s in rep store

Everything else is fine

But you can’t put the wait for child in require that doesn’t make any sense

[rustic wharf]

The module script may not have replicated yet

So you do need to use WaitForChild()

[dark juniper]

💀 Roblox handles it

Show me this error

[placid agate]

rex it's ragebait.

[dark juniper]

I’m getting rage baited so hard

Deadass

[rustic wharf]

Everything is rage bait to you kids

[dark juniper]

There’s no way this guy is this gullible

😭

Holy shit he actually believes you can put wait for child inside of require

[rustic wharf]

I think you guys are wrong and ChatGPTs right

I understand the reasoning of ChatGPT and it's the reason I asked it in the first place

[dark juniper]

gang ChatGPT is not an omnipotent god

It doesn’t know the answer to everything

[rustic wharf]

The module script isn't in serverscriptservice

It's in replicated storage

[dark juniper]

Man I’m just gonna block you

Your a lost cause

[rustic wharf]

If you're an experienced expert scripter @ me or reply to this for a question I have

[placid agate]

thelast, this is just sad... c'mon man you're better than this.

just remember u can gaslight gpt into thinking 2 + 2 = 5

[plush quarry]

why is roblox studio this trash in optimization, first it crashes because of a coding mistake i made which spam creates parts infinitely which caused a crash, then i try to open task manager to close studio, then task manager crashes, and roblox studio is still open doing nothing not closing no matter what and eating my ram (i have 16gb ram)

its still open just casually taking 12 gigs of ram while its doing nothing and refusing to close

HOLY STUDIO IS TAKING 14 GIGS RN EVERYTHING IS LAGGY I GOTTA RESTART MY PC

[dark juniper]

Is this the guy who made an fps with 4 lines

[split kayak]

why is the player taking more damage then its suppost to? dont mind my var names

it takes a different amount of damage each time

[somber vault]

did you add a table for players who got hit?

like

local HitTable = {}

if not table.find(HitTable,hit.Parent) then
table.insert(HitTable,hit.Parent)
end
-- after it hits you can just clear the table

sorry if im bad at explaining lol

[split kayak]

your not

im just a lil confused

[somber vault]

did it work?

lol that's normal

the table stops it from hitting the player again but if you want to hit the same player again for sometime you can add a wait and clear the table

[split kayak]

well once the player gets hit it stores them but then they cant take damage again

[somber vault]

yes you can clear it if you want to take damage again

[split kayak]

let me try that

[somber vault]

cool

table.clear(HitTable)

[split kayak]

it works thanks so much

[sullen flicker]

How would I manipulate the camera and change it’s perspective

[loud stratus]

By putting ur bum in ur face

[somber vault]

Do you want it in a fixed position or manipulated differently?

[sullen flicker]

Fixed position yes

[somber vault]

so I assume it is like a security camera kind of "manipulation" you want

[sullen flicker]

This is for something else, I'd like this sort of perspective

So some sort of bird perspective but from the side

[somber vault]

Isometric camera, did you try them?

Pretty sure roblox documentation has it in it

[sullen flicker]

I did not, let me check that as well

[sullen flicker]

Oo yeah they do, thank you dino

Now if I only knew where this script goes

[somber vault]

Local Script

[sullen flicker]

And it goes into StarterPlayerScripts, right?

[somber vault]

preferably starterplayer

[sullen flicker]

What's the difference between StarterCharachterScripts and StarterPlayerScripts

[gritty fossil]

startercharacter i THINK the camera changes for every time u die

[somber vault]

I think there is a setting to fix that?

I remember one

[gritty fossil]

The character script "resets" every time u die because its for each charactermodel
The player script will always be there and its located in the player instance in game.Players

[sullen flicker]

Ah I see

Thank you

So the StarterPlayer makes more sense yeah?

[gritty fossil]

only manipulated the camera like 2 times in my life so not sure honestly

since the camera is fixed to the character my first go-to would be a character local script

[somber vault]

I did it a lot for my "FNAF" themed games

I think you explained it right

[sullen flicker]

I see, thank you

[gritty fossil]

np

[sullen flicker]

My screen just goes grey now

Any idea why @gritty fossil @somber vault

[somber vault]

Script?

[sullen flicker]

There's nothing in output tho

Is there something I need to enable on camera as well or

[somber vault]

Are you sure that cameratype is "scriptable"

[sullen flicker]

Yeah

Maybe it's the distance or something

Yeah it is

My bad, it was the angle

So the camera went in the base plate

[somber vault]

glad that you found the issue

[sullen flicker]

Thank you

[somber vault]

because I was starting to question myself how did that happen

[sullen flicker]

Although any setting I change the camera fucks up

And I want to zoom out the camera more

I can only zoom in

There's no way this is the maximum hahaha

[somber vault]

There should be settings you can modify in the script

[sullen flicker]

Okay I managed to fix it

I had to change the FOV setting

Although I have to change it only by bits, since the normal one was at 0.000125

Got it perfect now, great!

[somber vault]

Thats nice

[sullen flicker]

Now I'll try doing it so charachter follows the mouse

As in the direction of the mouse, movement is free of course

[vague phoenix]

Does anyone have a document link for oop idk anything about oop

[sullen flicker]

Worked

[strange summit]

how do i make the segments of a beam load in faster

with a script

its really messing up the curve

[mortal roost]

Can someone say some good color combinations becouse rn the one that i chose remind me of like an ice cream cuh. so if you got any cool color combinations please say them under. Also say some thing that i should improve here

[open walrus]

is blender the only option for animating like good vfx?

[winged shadow]

it is not, but it is the easiest and the most popular

[winged shadow]

or wut do u mean by "like good vfx"?

[open walrus]

do u know the game

elemental battlegrounds?

or wait

[winged shadow]

y

[open walrus]

u know uh maplestorm?

on yt

[winged shadow]

what is this>?

[open walrus]

a roblox dev

he's good at vfx

are those blender things?

[winged shadow]

show me

[open walrus]

kidna like these

[winged shadow]

hmmm

[open walrus]

nvm i cant put yt links huh

[winged shadow]

ok

o_O

[open walrus]

its Maplestorm on yt

[winged shadow]

k

sec

[open walrus]

it says im bronze so not allowed to put links

;-;

[winged shadow]

uh

i watched a bit

i a wanna say, that some his vfx are garbage and some are ok

and animations i ve seen are all very bad

so idk why u like

wanna do like he does

and also

i didnt understand ur first question

[open walrus]

not like those

but i want something like that

so is blender the way for it?

[winged shadow]

for doing vfx

?

[open walrus]

yeah things like those

[winged shadow]

no

[open walrus]

im just starting so i have no idea

then?

[winged shadow]

u can fo vfx only in studio

[open walrus]

whats blender for in roblox then?

[winged shadow]

ye, maybr u can bake some textures for some flipbooks in blender, but anyway u cant avoid using studio

[winged shadow]

models, nimations, rigs

and meshes for vfx

but in his vfx i dont see any meshes used

or just he uses spheres for explosions

[open walrus]

so studio is enough for those?

[winged shadow]

y

ill recomend u a server

RoVFX

there u can find some textures in open source channel\

[open walrus]

aight

[winged shadow]

for u vfx

and

y

thats all

[open walrus]

sweet thx

[winged shadow]

[jovial ice]

quickest way to automatically redirect chat messages sent by players to the team channels instead of the gchat?

[lean lark]

:SetAttribute() on server sends data to all clients even if they dont use :GetAttribute()?

[tacit sun]

whats a good project to work on that looks good in a portfolio

[lean lark]

hm? can you explain it a bit

[raw imp]

I know there a way to override players classical clothing, is there a way to override with realistic clothing

[shut sorrel]

no, you have to add the clothing accessories to the players character when they spawn in

Put the accessories in ReplicatedStorage and clone them to the character

[dense iris]

I need something like to thia added to my already somewhat made command module

/bossbar set (The title here)

The boss bar health tracks with whoever executed the command, thus it decrease’s as the executed loses health.

[shut sorrel]

if you made the module it should be set up to easily add new commands

[jovial ice]

is there a way to bypass /t and send messages to teams chat without the need to use a command? Allowing then to send a message in global chat with something like /g instead?

[night gazelle]

I think that's possible

Do check the TextChatService API

[jovial ice]

I tried but found it hard to look around ngl

tried detecting message inputs and redirecting them to the team chat but didnt work
also tried disabling gchat(to later enable only when using /g before the message) but doesnt seem possible to actually do so

[open walrus]

btw

about client and server service in roblox

is there a documentation that talks about whats a server service and whats a client

like if starter gui and stuff are aerver or local?

[night gazelle]

@jovial ice I found this

Oh I can't send a link

[shut sorrel]

I think the best way to learn is through experiments, when you test play, you can switch between client and server, when you move a object on the client it won't move it on the server

[night gazelle]

Do check ChatInputBarConfiguration

Then set the TargetTextChannel logically

[jovial ice]

....

[raw imp]

KK

[jovial ice]

it was this easy the whole time?

[night gazelle]

Yeah, you just need to dig deep in the API LMAO

[jovial ice]

I'm feeling stupid now lmao

[night gazelle]

Roblox has been reworking their modules so that it's easy to program and customize

[jovial ice]

never put hands on anything related to chat so quite new on that

[open walrus]

oh alright

thx

[night gazelle]

Yeah that's normal, I actually only knew about TextChatService yesterday, I remembered I saw a TextChannel configurations so I knew you could customize your default channel

[shut sorrel]

localscript only effects client like camera, inputs, and what the player can see and interact with, good for reducing lag by spawning stuff just for that player and not on the server. Server scripts is what everyone interacts with and can see changes happen all at the same time, like setting and saving data, in scripts you use remoteevents to communicate from client to server

just a basic overview

[open walrus]

oh kay

so there aint any documentations for knowing what is what really

gt know by urself ;-;

[shut sorrel]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/projects/client-server
https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent
They exist but I don't think they do very good job at explaining it for beginners, you start to get it the more stuff you make and run into little problems regarding it

[open walrus]

oh alright

just dont know what to make yet tho

im just watching tutorials and doing small projects with them

onl including them

[shut sorrel]

that's the most important step in scripting is knowing what you want to make

[open walrus]

i needa get to using everything and make smth

[open walrus]

yeah i have an idea but i needa know more for that to happen

[shut sorrel]

Ye just have a rough idea of what you want and work step by step, the finished product is always worth it

it's quite addicting

[open walrus]

only if it works like intended ;-;

had to spend 4 hrs to get a remote function to work

made me annoyed ;-;

[soft kraken]

i was watching a scripting tutorial and got confused with "tables" like can i use tables to code a crafting recipe?

[open walrus]

xD

[shut sorrel]

failing and spending the next 3 hours fixing a simple problem is all part of the fun

[open walrus]

thankfully i had some ideas about thos things from python

[soft kraken]

what can u use tables for?

im confused

[shut sorrel]

I do use tables for crafting tables

[open walrus]

data storing and arranging type things in python

roblox ig looping with getchildren all i can think of

[shut sorrel]

Tables store any kind of data, very useful

[soft kraken]

multiple data too if im not wrong

[shut sorrel]

Functions, variables, objects, etc

[open walrus]

rather use list

[soft kraken]

and u can change the data inside of the table using "table." if im not wrong again

man scripting seems fun

[open walrus]

emphasis on "seems"

unless u rlly enjoy it

[shut sorrel]

You just do playerDataTable.Coins = 5 for example

[open walrus]

albino how long you been doing this for

[shut sorrel]

I recently made a whole dialogue system that uses table to store string to set up the dialogue and all the responses

I've been at it for 8 years

[soft kraken]

can i do something like creating a local table and if player puts something inside of the "bag" variable and stores the "thing putted inside" can i use this for crafting recipe?

[open walrus]

damn

[soft kraken]

ty for your time btw

[soft kraken]

or there is a better way for that?

[shut sorrel]

Yes that's the right idea, when I make inventory systems I have a equipped and inventory table and swap the value between the two of I want to equip or unequip

[soft kraken]

glad that im on the right way

ty for your time again

[shut sorrel]

np, it's mostly all problem solving, the more you make the more efficient you become and realize better ways to make something

[open walrus]

also is AI possible for scripting?

i meant for like if a player draws a dog with his mouse, i make a script to recognise if its a dog i do smth

[shut sorrel]

I used to always find open source games and look through the code people wrote when I started and did like reverse engineering and connect the dots

[soft kraken]

i think ai would script but it would not be optimized

[open walrus]

not like using ai to script

[open walrus]

this

since player can draw dog anyhow

[soft kraken]

i think thats possible

[shut sorrel]

It is possible, though it's quite advanced, even I would struggle a bit with that

[soft kraken]

seen a yt video about that

[open walrus]

shi

that was one idea i had

got to wait for that

[shut sorrel]

That's like making a neural network and training off a dataset to recognize drawings that resemble data

[soft kraken]

albino can i store skill system inside tables like in battleground games? or there is a better way doing that?

like when u switch over a character there will be a spesific table for that character's skills

oh

thats what im looking for

ty

[shut sorrel]

tables are amazing for organizing code most importantly, you can make a whole script without them but it would be a mess

But doing Object:GetChildren() for example creates a table of all the objects inside of the main object

[soft kraken]

indeed they are amazing and fun

messing with tables btw

[shut sorrel]

That's how I would add spawned npcs to the SpawnedNPC table for example to keep track of them

[soft kraken]

oh i did not know about that

pretty usefull

[shut sorrel]

when people do for i, v in object:GetChildren() do, it loops through the table, v being the current child, and i being the place it is in the table

[jovial ice]

Seems like it should be the one you mentioned. But not sure how to make it work.

[soft kraken]

let me show what i learned in just 3 days

[jovial ice]

`local TCS = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local chatInputConfiguration = TCS:FindFirstChild("ChatInputBarConfiguration")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local redTeam = Teams:FindFirstChild("RedTeam")
local blueTeam = Teams:FindFirstChild("BlueTeam")

local function setChat(player)
if not player and not player.Team then return end
if player and player.Team then
if player.Team == redTeam then
chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel:FindFirstChild("RBXTeamRed")
else if player.Team == blueTeam then
chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel:FindFirstChild("RBXTeamBlue")
end
end
end
end`
this is how i tried doing it

[soft kraken]

just gimme a minute to type what i want to do

[night gazelle]

you should do an assign operation on chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel

chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = TextChatService.TextChannels:FindFirstChild("RBXTeam[BrickColor]")

[soft kraken]

idk how to get players from server yet say if im doing it wrong but thats the general idea im trying to go for

oh i forgot to print

mb

[night gazelle]

In your case I'll assume the Team Colors are Bright red and Bright blue, so it should look like this

local TCS = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local chatInputConfiguration = TCS:FindFirstChild("ChatInputBarConfiguration")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local redTeam = Teams:FindFirstChild("RedTeam")
local blueTeam = Teams:FindFirstChild("BlueTeam")

local function setChat(player)
    if not player and not player.Team then return end
    if player and player.Team then
        if player.Team == redTeam then
            chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = TCS.TextChannels:FindFirstChild("RBXTeamBright red")
        elseif player.Team == blueTeam then
            chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = TCS.TextChannels:FindFirstChild("RBXTeamBright blue")
        end
    end
end

@jovial ice

[soft kraken]

it worked

[jovial ice]

ohh I see. It is supposed to be a local player script btw, right?

[night gazelle]

Yeah that too

It should be a local script

You're customizing the inputs that's why it should be in the client side

[acoustic vigil]

Trying to make a team to make a game dm if you wanna make a game together

[jovial ice]

ahh ty. Just gave it a try and for some reason its saying this
Players.zLoryhhhhhh.PlayerScripts.LocalScript:12: attempt to index nil with 'Team'

[soft kraken]

ohhh so u gotta remove it to optimize?

[jovial ice]

line 12 cuz i added a task wait to let player load but not working either

otherwise in the script you sent its line 9

[soft kraken]

damn thats cool

what about the rest of the code

is that fine

[night gazelle]

Can you should the script

[jovial ice]

`local TCS = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local chatInputConfiguration = TCS:FindFirstChild("ChatInputBarConfiguration")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local redTeam = Teams:FindFirstChild("RedTeam")
local blueTeam = Teams:FindFirstChild("BlueTeam")

local function setChat(player)
if not player and not player.Team then return end
if player and player.Team then
if player.Team == redTeam then
chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = TCS.TextChannels:FindFirstChild("RBXTeamReally red")
elseif player.Team == blueTeam then
chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = TCS.TextChannels:FindFirstChild("RBXTeamReally blue")
end
end
end

setChat()`

Calling the function at the end as script wasnt running at first

[night gazelle]

oh do

setChat(Players.LocalPlayer)

on the last line - you didn't passed a player argument

[jovial ice]

ahh okkk

[somber vault]

Modulescripts

Think them as a storage that you can access both client and server ( depends on where you require it from )

[somber vault]

You put all the skill system and their "values and datas" in the modulescript

and require them when needed

[soft kraken]

still new into this stuff its been like 3 days but ty for that usefull info

u can do that???

woah

[somber vault]

Ye modulescripts are real cool stuff and real useful for organizing

• storing

most people put their "configs" in modulescripts

in serverstorage or whatever they placed it in

definitely not client tho

or exploiters go boom boom with your modulescript

[umbral carbon]

Fr

[soft kraken]

yeah i can imagine doing skilltree1.skilltree2.and so on

[umbral carbon]

Object values are better though

[jovial ice]

seems like I cant define the localplayer inside the argument so have done this on top with this
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
But with the arguments and everything it doesnt seem to be working

[somber vault]

I prefer modulescripts but that works too

it just feels more "organized"

[soft kraken]

def gonna check what modules are capeable of

[somber vault]

and I can edit the modulescript whenever I want

and it wont break anything

[soft kraken]

they seems fun

[somber vault]

unless I change the class

[umbral carbon]

See exporting types

[umbral carbon]

Ok

[soft kraken]

alright

[somber vault]

In my opinion, it is a MUST to learn

good luck

I mean like lets say one of my configs value is 50

I can change it to 100 and nothing will break in other scripts that modulescripts gets required

unless Im doing > or < checks

anyway you get what I mean

[soft kraken]

thanks man i also do 3d modelling but scripting is my main intrest since 2018

[somber vault]

Ye I also switched to scripting after 652 hours in blender

[soft kraken]

this was the models i made but i want to give my models a life if u know what i mean

[somber vault]

I already got a game as solo dev

( It failed miserably, we dont talk about that )

[woeful gate]

then switch its head for a camera

And give it a plunger weapon

[somber vault]

Ye

every road goes to scripting

its the core of a game

[soft kraken]

btw what game should i go for learning basics

[somber vault]

make small projects as practices

If you try to make a game as a beginner, you will %100 fail

you can practice on simulators

[jovial ice]

Just did some further testing
The script is running smoothly with no errors appearing in chat
Have added debug messages printing when a player is assigned to a team chat as follows
if player.Team == redTeam then chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = TCS.TextChannels:FindFirstChild("RBXTeamReally red") print("Assigned to red team chat") elseif player.Team == blueTeam then chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = TCS.TextChannels:FindFirstChild("RBXTeamReally blue") print("Assigned to blue team chat") end
The debug messages are being printed but the players are still left in the global chat

[soft kraken]

i dont want to make games rn i just want to learn as making games

[somber vault]

You can start with tycoon stuff

you can try learning data saving / leaderboards

[night gazelle]

Can you check inside TCS if those teams really exist

[somber vault]

Great for learning basics tho

[woeful gate]

ok what if I release a game called “100 Player Impossible Obby” would that fail? It would be your typical tower of heck clone but with 100 players at once

[soft kraken]

can i do something like "eat a ball to get bigger" or something like that and there would be a data saving too if i learn that soon

[somber vault]

Are you sure that game is gonna get 100 players at first place

[somber vault]

just anything you can think of

you can practice it

[woeful gate]

2.8k robux on ad credits won’t do it huh

[somber vault]

I did not take ads into consideration

Idk

[soft kraken]

alright man ty both for your times i will continue learning wish me luck

[somber vault]

take your time and good luck

[woeful gate]

Yea but then those players leave

At least 8 mins

4-5 mins isn’t great

[somber vault]

I mean your goal should be at least keeping some of those players engaged with your game

It wont benefit you if %90 of players leave your game after first play

they gotta stay engaged

[woeful gate]

Hmm how about I add a kill all feature for 199 robux! I’m sure players will enjoy killing 100 players at once

wait..

That’s to pricey

ok forget the robux stuff

I need to add free stuff too

[somber vault]

I cant tell if you are serious or not

are you here for a real game talk or jokes

[woeful gate]

Alr share you thoughts

oh wait I just realized

everyone will leave

[somber vault]

isnt that too high

I aint paying 3k robux for a nuke all button

I mean what is the "harm" if everyone keeps buying it

[woeful gate]

u clearly have no experience with this stuff and neither do I!

[somber vault]

it is a cashgrab game

it is not supposed to live

it is supposed to make quick cash for future projects / funding

[woeful gate]

That’s my plan. Release cash grab then use the funds for my horror mascot game

[fallen summit]

i fucking hate scripting

im so sick of this

[woeful gate]

A horror mascot game which will probably fail

sike!

Never doubt yourselves small Roblox devs!

Strive to do your best!

[fallen summit]

im doubting myself bro

i have been at this stupid shit for like the past 5 hours

[woeful gate]

could a different title attract players even if gameplay is standard? For example “100 Player Impossible Obby” or “climb or die” which is a floor is lava clone

[bleak glade]

are you trying to make a plane?

[fallen summit]

yes

[night gazelle]

It still does not work?

[fallen summit]

its really

annoying

[jovial ice]

I have a feeling that unless im doing something wrong in the script then roblox might be overriding the script altogether

[bleak glade]

are you using a motor setup

[jovial ice]

I mean according to the debug messages the script should be working just fine so

[fallen summit]

no

its all scripted

no motor setups

[bleak glade]

i used a motor and just did z -thrust

[night gazelle]

Well once you're in game - do check if the TargetTextChannel is really being changed

just to make sure

[jovial ice]

How would I achieve that?

[fallen summit]

do u wanna have my place and see if you can try to get it to work

[jovial ice]

I will also try seeing if testing it outside studio actually works or not. It could be that too tbfd

[bleak glade]

ok sure

[fallen summit]

dms

[bleak glade]

im not sure how you set it up without a motor

[night gazelle]

When you're testing check the properties of ChatInputConfiguration

[frosty token]

very weird question but how do i save data from one game to another, lets say im making a second version of my game. and i want all the data to save from the first to the second?

[zealous crater]

you’d have to make both games within the same experience for you to save data across them

if not you’d need to use some external database but idk how reliable that would be

[mystic yew]

Anyone know how to wait for a model to fully load its descendants? Ex it has 100+ parts with the same name so waitforchild wont work. Will PreloadAsync work?

[static coral]

waitforchild will wait for descendants too im pretty sure

or you can do repeat task.wait until parent.child

[somber vault]

this is probably an inefficient solution but you can change modelstreamingmodule to Atomic

Again, I am not sure if this is an efficient way so make sure to wait for others answers too

[prime cave]

my code thats supposed to work as the tycoon things where the parts that drop down get colleccted isnt working, i made it work before but i accidentally lost it forever. please could anyone help, idek why it wont work it seems fine.

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local cashTag = CollectionService:GetTagged("cash")
local cashCollector = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("cashCollector")
local cashDisplay = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("moneyDisplay"):WaitForChild("SurfaceGui"):WaitForChild("SIGN")

cashCollector.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
    for i, valueParts in pairs(cashTag) do
    print("Looped!")
    local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherPart.Parent)
    local leaderstats = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
    local cash = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Cash")
    print("Identified!")
    local value = valueParts:WaitForChild("Value")
    if otherPart == valueParts then
    cashDisplay.Text += value.Value
end
end
end)

[bleak glade]

Is it printing? It’s kinda hard to read on mobile

[uneven panther]

can anyone help im new to coding

[prime cave]

what’s the full script

@uneven panther

[uneven panther]

one sec

[prime cave]

no

send a pic

[uneven panther]

Of the entire script??

one sec

[prime cave]

yeah or at least the function

how new are you to scripting

[uneven panther]

i started like 4 weeks ago

[prime cave]

why is the script AI

[uneven panther]

what?

[prime cave]

it’s made from AI

look at all those — explains the stuff

[uneven panther]

how

i put those coause tuts told me to put them there

[prime cave]

i found error

[prime cave]

huh what tuts

[uneven panther]

tutorials

[prime cave]

at the second image, you don’t put character in the () arguments

[prime cave]

bro what tutorial-

do

[uneven panther]

i watched this and he told me to put them to remember things

[prime cave]

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

you can’t throw in character in the () because you need to mention what the character variable is as well

[prime cave]

kinda weird to do..

[uneven panther]

then why does he tell me to do it??

i mean he didnt tell me he said it was optional but still

[prime cave]

bro why would ik

[prime cave]

do you memorize code or understand it.

[prime cave]

@uneven panther

[uneven panther]

oka

[uneven panther]

i memorize it and understand it

[halcyon tendon]

i know this is a bad place to ask and this is not an advertisement but a question - but how much roughly would it be for a scripter to make a set of completely built competitions (think mario party style) function? like just an estimate

[uneven panther]

why

[prime cave]

.

[uneven panther]

what?

[prime cave]

by 4 weeks, you should be able to write code without memorization

[uneven panther]

i have bad memory

[prime cave]

I also have 4 weeks of experience, I do stuff with no memorization

[uneven panther]

i was born with it

[prime cave]

don’t memorize codes, understand LUA

[prime cave]

don’t blame “genetics”. you aren’t putting in your work to change em.

[uneven panther]

to change my bad memory?

[prime cave]

mhm

learn LUAU. don’t memorize LUAU

see the difference

[uneven panther]

how can i memorize with bad memory that my doctor said that cant be fixed

[prime cave]

if you don’t mind, how old r you

[bleak glade]

why are you instances remotes in scripts 😭

[uneven panther]

i was making a counter to track how many blocks are spawned

and i put it in the spawner

[bleak glade]

no, the remote

[uneven panther]

im not allowed to say my age on the internet

[prime cave]

e. less than 10?

[uneven panther]

no

[prime cave]

his script is so ai, it’s legit so unoptimized. 😰

[bleak glade]

yes, so why are you instancing it 😭

[prime cave]

more than 12?

[bleak glade]

the remote wouldnt just walk out of replicatedstorage

[uneven panther]

yes why!!

[prime cave]

yh fr, just make sure you’ve made it in replicated storage lol

[prime cave]

that’s what I’m saying lol

[prime cave]

14+?

[uneven panther]

i have two people flaming me at once

[uneven panther]

no Why!!!!!!!!!!

[bleak glade]

its more of critism to help you

[uneven panther]

what does everyone want from me

im new as you can tell

[prime cave]

you asked for help.

[prime cave]

12+? 14-?

[uneven panther]

yet but your asking for my age and criticizing my work

[bleak glade]

let me tell you what to change

[sullen flicker]

https://gyazo.com/f9c19104d78712b1849daf416eead20b

[prime cave]

we’re just saying it’s unoptimized. I told u what to change and you ignored me like 3 times.

[sullen flicker]

Do you guys maybe have a solution for this, why are my parts disappearing

[uneven panther]

i have two people talking to me at the same time

[bleak glade]

1: theres no reason to instance the remote and folder, you called the spawn folder twice, and spawnblocks looks like it doesnt end?

[prime cave]

you grabbed player wrong. there’s also a bunch of extra lines of code but I’m not fixing all that at 1:30 am rn

[prime cave]

your acting like it’s 200, chill

[uneven panther]

they dont disappear if thats what your asking

[prime cave]

ok. then remove the “if not (folderName) then
instance.new(________)”

remove the instancing that isn’t needed

[bleak glade]

thats a little trippy, how is the camera being manipulated?

[uneven panther]

the entire point of the game is to spawn blocks until you game crashes

[prime cave]

so? why instance the folder

and just do

a while true do statement

[uneven panther]

its for the block counter

[prime cave]

why instance it if it’s already in replicatedsotrage and has no chance of leaving it

[uneven panther]

i asked for help on one thing not my entire script

[bleak glade]

you might have something blocking a partial part of the camera view

[prime cave]

i told you what to fix there, you didn’t do it

[prime cave]

,

[uneven panther]

it didnt fix it

error thing

Here's the script

[bleak glade]

it says the error

[prime cave]

show line 46 and 79

[sullen flicker]

@bleak glade

[uneven panther]

@prime cave

[uneven panther]

<><><><><><><><>

[bleak glade]

im pretty sure if the camera is too far it might clip into objects which is why it does that, that or render distance

[sullen flicker]

I think it is with camera being to far, but I need it that far

How could I fix that then

[bleak glade]

let me try tweaking your settings

[prime cave]

make the () empty

[sullen flicker]

Thank you

[uneven panther]

which

[prime cave]

and 46 should be fine so just fix 79 and make the () empty instead of having player in it

[uneven panther]

oh ok

[prime cave]

line 79, remove player from () and make it empty

[uneven panther]

ok

[bleak glade]

why does it look like this

[uneven panther]

it gave my if an error

[sullen flicker]

Ugh... not sure

What

[prime cave]

the line 46? But is 79 good now

[bleak glade]

it may be your fov hold on

im gonna manually change the fov

[sullen flicker]

Alright

[prime cave]

show line

[bleak glade]

local FOV = 30

``` try this

[sullen flicker]

got you will do

[sullen flicker]

Yeah that works

[sullen flicker]

Will I be able to make the camera further tho @bleak glade ?

[bleak glade]

yes

change that how you want

[sullen flicker]

You are a life saver

[prime cave]

bro show if/then statemen toine

[sullen flicker]

Works perfectly now, Thank you

[prime cave]

*statement line

[sullen flicker]

Did you change up the angle a bit as well or

[bleak glade]

np it was def your fov, i also had no idea the purpose of magic formula so i removed it

[sullen flicker]

Hahahha all good, thank you, I found the code on Roblox docs

[bleak glade]

it might have changed, change the multiply factor how you want

well nvm that does the same thing as distance

[sullen flicker]

Actually camera might be even better at this angle

[bleak glade]

that applies on the x and z based on your structure

[sullen flicker]

Thank you yoda

[bleak glade]

np

[sullen flicker]

Do you maybe have an idea on how I could enable zooming sort of

But still limit it

[bleak glade]

maybe

fov manipulation probably

[sullen flicker]

Or the Zoomfactor

[bleak glade]

ill try something rq

[sullen flicker]

Sure thank you

[uneven panther]

@prime cave never mind i fixed it

[bleak glade]

my uis wont detect scroll for some reason so idk

[signal pewter]

can someone help me this is a joined/left chat script, sometimes it works, other times it only shows the join messsage when you reset or leave

script.Parent.Parent.CharacterAdded:Wait()



local function makeMessage(display, username, jl)
    local txt = "Welcome to Fv's Time Trial 2, " .. display .. " (@" .. username .. ")!"
    local color
    if txt == "Welcome to Fv's Time Trial 2, " .. display .. " (@" .. username .. ")!" then
        color = "0,255,0"
    else
        color = "255,0,0"
    end
    
    local format = string.format("<font color=\"rgb(%s)\">%s</font>", color, txt)
    if tcs.ChatVersion == Enum.ChatVersion.TextChatService then
        tcs.TextChannels.RBXGeneral:DisplaySystemMessage(format)
    else
        game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", {Text = format})
    end
    
end

makeMessage(game.Players.LocalPlayer.DisplayName, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name, "joined")

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    makeMessage(plr.DisplayName, plr.Name, "joined")
end)

game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    makeMessage(plr.DisplayName, plr.Name, "left")
end)

[jovial ice]

Managed to fix it. All it took was adding a task.wait and a waitforchild instead of findfirst child
Im guessing script was starting before the stuff was properly loaded lmao

[jovial ice]

One thing I noticed although not sure if it's entirely related. When dealing with players leaving pretty sure there were 2 different functions(?) to use to prevent issues(e.g. player leaving due to crash or something) which I dont see used here

[signal pewter]

oh then what do I do?

[unkempt brook]

how do i make it so my health doesnt go to inf after the value becomes larger than 9.223 qi

[latent gust]

dont let it go larger than the float limit

[unkempt brook]

i need to make it go higher though

im making a game with very high values

[latent gust]

it has to be a float

[ivory kite]

1. The signal at the start assumes your character hasn't loaded yet, so there will be times your character loads faster than the script, therefore waiting for you to respawn.
2. Considering this is a LocalScript, you should be using LocalPlayer instead of making an ancestor staircase for clarity.
3. This is me nitpicking, but I prefer to format strings instead of concatenating them. It makes it easier for you to edit them in the future.
4. Make sure you include lua in your discord code block so they format properly.

local TCS = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local PLRS = game:GetService("Players")

local function makeMessage(display : string, username : string, isJoining : boolean?)
    local txt = if isJoining then ("Welcome to Fv's Time Trial 2, %s (@%s)!"):format(display, username) else ("%s (@%s) left the game."):format(display, username)
    
    local color = if isJoining then "0,255,0" else "255,0,0"
    
    local format = string.format("<font color=\"rgb(%s)\">%s</font>", color, txt)
    if TCS.ChatVersion == Enum.ChatVersion.TextChatService then
        TCS.TextChannels.RBXGeneral:DisplaySystemMessage(format)
    else
        game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", {Text = format})
    end

end

local function PlayerAdded(Player : Player)
    makeMessage(Player.DisplayName, Player.Name, true)
end

local function PlayerRemoving(Player : Player)
    makeMessage(Player.DisplayName, Player.Name, false)
end

PLRS.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded)
PLRS.PlayerRemoving:Connect(PlayerRemoving)
for _,v in pairs(PLRS:GetPlayers()) do PlayerAdded(v) end

This should work, but I haven't tested it. Put this in your StarterPlayerScripts instead, if it wasn't there already.

[unkempt brook]

health value isnt a float im talking about luau

[latent gust]

Luau cannot store integers beyond 2^53 - 1

you can try IntValue

[ivory kite]

Make a separate class to store the value and just clamp the health value so it doesn't get set to inf

^

[hasty mesa]

use a big num module

[jovial ice]

Coming here to ask. Could you explain point 4? Itd be great for when I ask help

[ivory kite]

```lua

```

Specifies the language the code inside the block uses, helps highlight values and key words

[tender steppe]

who can help me with my record must know how to script ui or gui dont matter and build lmk!

[fiery crow]

is there any downside to using "workspace" or should i "local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")"

i assume the only benefit to a workspace variable is consistency?

[ivory kite]

GetService creates the service if it doesn't exist.

I haven't seen a time where workspace hasn't been loaded already when a script has called it, but if you really want to be safe you can call game:GetService("Workspace") instead of workspace.

[fiery crow]

appreciate it. I think I'll stick with workspace then because its blue and helps me skim read my code easier 😂

[simple yew]

selling battlegrounds system (DM ME)

[signal pewter]

now it doesnt work at all

[signal pewter]

anyone can get one from the toolbox

[simple yew]

U mean the ones that are complete shit

[zealous crater]

dont buy this bruh

[signal pewter]

well i mean if someone wanted one that was actually good how would they know if yours is the better choice or not

[simple yew]

And why is that?

[simple yew]

I have my game open

[zealous crater]

bc why would someone waste money on something that other people have access to

[unkempt brook]

how would i do that if the health value is set to a high number because it just auto sets to math.huge or inf

[zealous crater]

its like buying a leaked map

[zealous crater]

well i know why, but they shouldnt

[simple yew]

Bro those ones are so ass

[ivory kite]

Make a module that tracks a value and updates the humanoid whenever you set it

[zealous crater]

well if youre going to sell something then do it right and show what youre selling

[simple yew]

Mine is acually diff since I acually made it with me and my friends

[zealous crater]

i just assume urs is also ass

if u say so

[simple yew]

Like show the game link and vid

Ight

[unkempt brook]

r u sure that'll work?

[zealous crater]

still wouldnt buy something that other people have

[signal pewter]

nevermind it works itss just that i was testing it in sstudio not in game

ty bro ill keep what you said in mind for future refernce

[ivory kite]

It should work in studio as well, hold on

[simple yew]

check if its open or close

https://www.roblox.com/games/126136629197801/Battlegrounds-test#!/game-instances

https://streamable.com/dypcum

[signal pewter]

if it was uncopylocked the button with 3 dotss would be there

is it limited to r6 or r15 compatible?

[simple yew]

I limited it to r6

Why should I change it?

[zealous crater]

oh this looks good i take back what i said

i cant play it tho cause ilost my phone and i cant log into roblox without it so

[simple yew]

How tf did u lose your iphone

Track that shit

[zealous crater]

idk bruh its dark and i dont have my glasses on

its in my house somewhere im not worried

misplaced*

[simple yew]

ohhh make sense

[zealous crater]

dubs

[ivory kite]

AFAIK you can make something like this and this should work as you want:

local HealthTracker = {}
HealthTracker.__index = HealthTracker

function HealthTracker.new(Humanoid : Humanoid)
    local self = setmetatable({}, HealthTracker)
    
    self.Hum = Humanoid
    
    return self
end

function HealthTracker:SetMax(NewValue : number)
    NewValue = tonumber(NewValue) or 0
    self.Hum.MaxHealth = math.clamp(NewValue, 0, 10000000)
end

function HealthTracker:Set(NewValue : number)
    NewValue = tonumber(NewValue) or 0
    self.Hum.Health = math.clamp(NewValue, 0, 10000000)
end

return HealthTracker

[simple yew]

The only thing is is that the vaulting animations were made by me and they looka ass since i aint an animator but i dont think anyones worried about that

[unkempt brook]

oh alr tysm for taking time to script it for me i appreicate it :)

[jovial ice]

tyy

[ivory kite]

You will have to call the SetMax and Set methods respectively of this class in order to properly track the value because Roblox will automatically set the humanoid's health properties to "inf" when they reach a certain limit

[unkempt brook]

alr

[jovial ice]

yall, got an issue with my script. When testing on local with 2+ player instances 90% of the time at least 1 of the player instances will initially be assigned to the correct text channel and then be assigned to the wrong one straight after, not sure why
This is the function handling this

local function setChat(player)
    if not player and not player.Team then return end
    if player and player.Team then
        task.wait(5) 
        if player.Team == redTeam then
            chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = redChat
            print("Assigned to red team chat") 
        elseif player.Team == blueTeam then
            chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = blueChat
            print("Assigned to blue team chat")
        end
    end
end```

[ivory kite]

That doesn't look right

[jovial ice]

ok not sure how to use the lua thing on pc as im not manually typing the signs but using the ds formatting function after highliting the code

[jovial ice]

whats the issue?

[ivory kite]

Three tildes
```lua
local function setChat(player)
if not player and not player.Team then return end
if player and player.Team then
task.wait(5)
if player.Team == redTeam then
chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = redChat
print("Assigned to red team chat")
elseif player.Team == blueTeam then
chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = blueChat
print("Assigned to blue team chat")
end
end
end
```

Like this

And your code is in-between the first and third line

local function setChat(player)
    if not player and not player.Team then return end
    if player and player.Team then
        task.wait(5) 
        if player.Team == redTeam then
            chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = redChat
            print("Assigned to red team chat") 
        elseif player.Team == blueTeam then
            chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = blueChat
            print("Assigned to blue team chat")
        end
    end
end

[jovial ice]

Yea just figured ty, sorted

[jovial ice]

Adding onto it. What happens in the console is
Assigned to red team chat
Assigned to blue team chat

Reversed if the player is actually in the blue team

It also seems like even when the issue happens, if I send a message on the player instance that has had the bug occuring, any other instance in the same team(and therefore same team chat) wont even be able to see the message

[ivory kite]

Also, looking at your code here, it looks like you'll have to increase the size of the "if else" statement in order to accomodate for more teams.

Personally, if I were you, I'd opt for something like this:

  local Channels = {
       [redTeam] = redChat,
       [blueTeam] = blueChat
  }
  local function setChat(Player)
      if not Player then return end
      
      local TargetChat = if Player.Team then Channels[Player.Team] else nil
      if TargetChat then
         chatInputConfiguration.TargetTextChannel = TargetChat
         print(("Assigned to the %s team chat."):format(Player.Team.Name))
      end
  end

[jovial ice]

Wont have more than 2 teams due to the type of game it is. But will hope onto the advice and ask, do you think this should solve that annoying bug with text channel assignment?

[stable verge]

When i press the mouse button to stop holding the object , it just stays floating

[ivory kite]

Well, according to what you said, it sounds like you assigned the red team's variable to the blueTeam, and the blue team's variable to the redTeam.

[fiery crow]

its not anchored?

[jovial ice]

Looking at the script doesnt seem to be so unless I'm missing something...
Whats odd is also that it only happens on say 1 player instance out of 4

[ivory kite]

What are you assigning to redTeam and blueTeam?

[stable verge]

yea its not anchored. Im using alignPosition and whne i press mouseButton1Down, i set the attachment1 to nil so that it wont float but it just stays there until my character pushes it

[jovial ice]

local blueChat = TCS:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):WaitForChild("RBXTeamReally blue")
local redChat = TCS:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):WaitForChild("RBXTeamReally red")

[ivory kite]

Did you adjust the networkOwnership of the part at all?

What are their colors?

[jovial ice]

ok im confused why its not working the formatting lol

[ivory kite]

lua needs to be right after the three backticks

[ivory kite]

Put the closing three backticks on a line below it

It should look like
```lua
local blueChat = TCS:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):WaitForChild("RBXTeamReally blue")
local redChat = TCS:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):WaitForChild("RBXTeamReally red")
```

local blueChat = TCS:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):WaitForChild("RBXTeamReally blue")
local redChat = TCS:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):WaitForChild("RBXTeamReally red")

[jovial ice]

dunno ds be hating on me

local redTeam = Teams:FindFirstChild("RedTeam")
local blueTeam = Teams:FindFirstChild("BlueTeam")

and now it works. Anyway these are the team variables

[ivory kite]

Okay, I think it's probably an issue with the roblox team system. Do they have matching colors?

[fiery crow]

try setting AlignPosition.Enabled = false

could also be your network ownership like dd said

[jovial ice]

yea. The colours named in the chat variables are the colours of the teams

I have assigned the team colours thro explorer. Only thing done thro script is assigning players to the teams upon joining and now the chat

[ivory kite]

Hold on, so if I'm following you correctly..
Both of your team instances have the same color property?

[jovial ice]

Wdym by same color property?

[ivory kite]

Teams have a property called "Color"

[jovial ice]

Yea but the colour property has a different colour assigned for each team

[slender salmon]

for beam/projectile following type moves is just sending the players mouse pos through a event the best way to go

[ivory kite]

Can you send me a clip of the issue?

[jovial ice]

dunno if my pc has got a recording program on

This is literally what is going on in the console
Tested a couple of times and only thing I noticed is this only occuring in the istance that is assigned to the blue team(havent tested more than 3 times or with more than 2 instances so cant confirm if it occasionally happens to an instance that is assigned to the red team

Also it doesnt happen all the time but only occasionally, completely random too

[ivory kite]

Do you have autoAssignable on the teams?

[jovial ice]

And when checking the ChatInputBarConfig on the istance that has seen this issue it is indeed assigned to the wrong channel

[jovial ice]

Yes the teams get autoassigned upon joininhg

lemme grab the script rq

local TeamManager = {}

local TeamService = game:GetService("Teams")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

-- Team references
local Teams = {
    Blue = TeamService:FindFirstChild("BlueTeam"),
    Red = TeamService:FindFirstChild("RedTeam")
}

-- Player tracking
local TeamPlayers = {
    Blue = {},
    Red = {}
}

-- Assigning players to teams
function TeamManager.AssignPlayer(player)
    if not player then return end
    
    local blueCount = #TeamPlayers.Blue
    local redCount = #TeamPlayers.Red
    
    if blueCount <= redCount then
        player.Team = Teams.Blue
        table.insert(TeamPlayers.Blue, player)
    else
        player.Team = Teams.Red
        table.insert(TeamPlayers.Red, player)
    end
    
    print(player.Name .. " has been assigned to " .. player.Team.Name .. " team.")
end

function TeamManager.Init()
    -- Assign existing players (useful for testing in Studio)
    for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
        TeamManager.AssignPlayer(player)
    end

    -- Assign new players when they join
    Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(TeamManager.AssignPlayer)
end

return TeamManager

[jovial ice]

Teams already exist in the explorer, therefore the lack of need to create them through the script

I did it this way to make sure that both teams will have same amount of players(gamemode presents 1 round where teams are assigned upon joining and never change for the duration of the round. Players will join the round from the lobby place by being teleported in the place where the round will occur)

[sleek rose]

Anyone here worked with nodejs on a roblox bot?

[cyan lantern]

scripters rate datastores in terms of difficulty 0 to 10

[dusty ravine]

8

[warm pumice]

0

[latent gust]

2

the difficulty is usually in using them asychronously

[night gazelle]

You forget error handling and adding edge cases

[bleak glade]

1

[latent gust]

not difficult

[night gazelle]

Yeah, the issue here is the bugs only appearing during the play tests

[latent gust]

you're using a different datastore for that i imagine?

[night gazelle]

It's not difficult perse but it's annoying or a hassle

[night gazelle]

I don't use any wrappers or libraries - but I guess datastore might be better this time

[latent gust]

what are you trying to achieve

[night gazelle]

Since last I used their API was years ago，before they updated to Datastore v2

[frail pendant]

How can I fix this:

local foodCount = 0

repeat
    print(foodCount)
    foodCount += 1
until foodCount == 5

while true do
    wait()
    game.Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency += 0.01
end

My repeat loop only prints up to 4, and while loop won't work

[safe gazelle]

how do you find the different functions and what they do on roblox

[stiff ibex]

What do you mean functions? Like embedded functions or external functions from other scripts?

[safe gazelle]

like print i think is a function i want a list of all of those and how they work

[stiff ibex]

Those are embedded functions

[safe gazelle]

oh

[stiff ibex]

In Roblox Studio, the language is compiled

[safe gazelle]

yeah then how do i find a list of those

i want to learn most of them and how they work

[stiff ibex]

the compilation language for Luau is C

you can find out at https://lua.org

[safe gazelle]

c++?

[stiff ibex]

Let me check

no

just normal C

[safe gazelle]

okay

[stiff ibex]

I looked at the files, and there's no CPP or C# file

[safe gazelle]

but i thought roblox made their own functions to develop game

[stiff ibex]

no

[safe gazelle]

not just print but like screenGui or something

or size and position

[stiff ibex]

they just use Luau (which was produced by them) with different ways of functioning

[fading onyx]

huh wdym

[stiff ibex]

however, in Luau, there's one function that was removed because of security violations

[wanton cloud]

what function?

[cyan lantern]

in the repeat loop, once foodCount reaches 4, or the 5th loop, prints the variable and add 1, foodCount is now equal to 5 and thus wont continue the loop

For the while loop it will just keep doing wait() unless you break it, the while loop will infinitely doing wait()

[safe gazelle]

so if i learn lua it is the same as roblox ?

[stiff ibex]

and that's os.execute, this is simply a command function that communicates to the computer that runs the inputted command

[safe gazelle]

is roblox function the same as lua

[stiff ibex]

Here's an example

[stiff ibex]

it's near impossible to know the difference

[safe gazelle]

because i thought they have there own functions for lua

[stiff ibex]

so personnaly I'd say yes

just know that some stuff in regular lua isn't available for luau

[cyan lantern]

roblox lua can do x += 1
regular lua can't
regular lua have to be x = x + 1

[wanton cloud]

Well it makes sense why it was removed

[stiff ibex]

because it's sandboxed

[stiff ibex]

yeah

[safe gazelle]

oh

[cyan lantern]

YO YO DONT YOU GET MAD AT US

[safe gazelle]

i mean't the roblox api functions then

how do i get a better list of those

[stiff ibex]

--[[
    
    Environment variable whitelist for release builds.

    Only variables authorized by this routine may be set using the setenv console command

too long tyler

[stiff ibex]

UwU

[safe gazelle]

hey i have question how do i learn roblox coding because roblox has different things
