[proven hare]

Sure

???

[tough relic]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-face-missing-gary-lonely-tears-spongebob-gif-14460070

[rapid verge]

probably but i'd recommend cleaning up your code a bit for readability

[vital parrot]

I already fixed it

was something unrelated

[rapid verge]

kk but still

[vital parrot]

wdym?

[rapid verge]

wait did you alr clean the code

[somber vault]

guys dont do workspace do game[“workspace\0 space is not working but you can use this roblox service”]

[vital parrot]

yeah it's cleaned up and all fixed

[somber vault]

Its .0000001ms more optimized

[vital parrot]

I dont need help anymore

[rapid verge]

kk

[still python]

how to make it so i spawn on a bed laying

[drifting shell]

hey can someone help edit my script?

[proper flicker]

Does anyone have an idea of how I could make a system which has hitmarkers like fortnite on meshes or models? Using surface guis to display the markers.

i suck at coding

[dense wharf]

i just watched the whole beginner series scripting of thedevking

i can actualy read code now

basic codes

[plucky plank]

les go

bruh

[charred stream]

cool

now watch gnomecode

[dense wharf]

whos that

[charred stream]

the best roblo coding tutorialist

none of these words are real

[plucky plank]

devking is best :>

[charred stream]

suphi is also a rlly good one

[plucky plank]

this is a newer youtuber with some newer tutorials that is pretty good too https://www.youtube.com/@iamLudius/videos

[dense wharf]

fr

[plucky plank]

lol fr though gnomecode alvinblox and devking saved me

[glass sierra]

he's good but pretty outdated

[plucky plank]

Ludius got some more updated stuff

[glass sierra]

brawldev is probably better since he's newer

and he also has a dedicated playlist for beginners

like the devking

[dense wharf]

okay so

[sacred prairie]

or just deep search through the docs

🤷‍♂️ works too

[plucky plank]

yeah but its hard for people who don't understand the docs because they arent competent enough with scripting

[sacred prairie]

ig they could start with tutorials first then

[somber vault]

why the game tryna communicate with me

[dusky relic]

PID controllers can replicate damped harmonic motion, but damped harmonic motion can't replicate all the movement that PID controllers can do? Am I correct?

anyone knows how i can get the font and size of default roblox display name thingy?

[molten plinth]

Bindable Event?

[somber vault]

What is that

[molten plinth]

Remote event, but for same-side communication

So server-server

[somber vault]

I didn’t know about that

Thanks

So my idea is useless

[hexed orbit]

hello

[proper flicker]

I am making a hitmarker system like fortnite for mining in my game, and I display the targets but when the mesh fidelity is set to automatic the raycasts hit on weird spots and the targets get displayed on weird spots but when I set it to precise geometry then they almsot always are nearly perfectly positioned, but then my question is what if I have a lot of these ores, how badly does it impact performance
or is there a way around this
or what should I do in yalls opinion

[visual tree]

it'll impact performance depending on how many ores u have prob

u could make it so precise geometry is only applied to nearby ores

[proper flicker]

ok

[sacred prairie]

ok

[young rock]

what is the best way to make ImageButton.MouseButton1Click only fire when the player holds their mouse down for less than x seconds?

[dusky relic]

Don't use Mousebutton1click

Use mousebutton1 down

Assign a varriable to the current tick

And use on mousebutton1 up

[somber vault]

maybe like imageButton.MouseButton:MouseClick: connect(function ()

smd inside that do task.wait(x)
if mouse.pressed then
fire or whatever

[dusky relic]

Mhmm, actually there's quite a few ways, what do you want to do?

[spare laurel]

rx works so well in these cases

but its overkill

[young rock]

local Down

for _, Slot in Items:GetChildren() do
if not Slot:IsA("ImageButton") then continue end

Slot.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    local Tick = tick()
    Down = Tick
end)
Slot.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
    if tick() - Down <= 0.1 then print("Click") end
end)

end

i dont know why but this just feels wrong @dusky relic

[dusky relic]

Mhmm, do a while loop

let me write it for you real quick

[young rock]

this is actually wrong it wouldnt work my bad

[dusky relic]

Slot.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
local Tick = tick()
Down = Tick
task.spawn(function()
while tick() - down <= 0.1 and UIS:IsMousebuttonpressed(enum.userinputype.mousebutton1) do
task.wait()
end
if tick - down >= 0.1 then
--run the code for the click~~
end
end)
end)

[young rock]

local MouseSlot
local Down

for _, Slot in Items:GetChildren() do
if not Slot:IsA("ImageButton") then continue end

Slot.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    print("MouseDown")
    Down = tick()
    MouseSlot = Slot
end)
Slot.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
    if Slot == MouseSlot and tick() - Down <= 0.1 then print("Click") end
end)

end

i meant something like this

[sacred prairie]

hi

[dusky relic]

@young rock That should do the thingy

[young rock]

hb this one? @dusky relic

[dusky relic]

the issue is, the click would only register when you let go, so you can hold it for like 5 seconds and the click would only register when you let go

[young rock]

thats what im trying to do

except

i want it to only work if i hold less than x seconds before i let go

so like
i dont want the click function to run if i just hold down the button for like 3 seconds and then let it go

thats not a click

(for what im trying to do)

[valid bough]

im actually most of scripting now from this server some and mostly the forum forum is a w

[brittle mountain]

anyone want to team up and make a game together?

[paper gust]

Anybody know how to learn more advanced coding? personally I would need help with modulescripts, I have read the documentation Im just confused

[charred stream]

think of modulescripts as a script where you can reuse code from it in other scripts

[hearty hawk]

I can help!

[hexed orbit]

hi

[hexed orbit]

yo

[hearty hawk]

Sup

[paper gust]

sure then, info dump me

[hearty hawk]

So modulescripts can contain variables, Numbers, Values etc. Like i can use player ids and require it in another script checking if the player ids match the id we want.

So picture a script that contains info

And we use the script in another script

[strange cargo]

hey guys
how to like when u touch a part , it gives u hd admin

[alpine knoll]

Bro watched that video of climbing to get admin

[royal linden]

REAL

[young rock]

would there be a problem if i use while loops (runs for like 2-3 seconds) or task.wait()s inside connections?

[sour vine]

yea big problem

[young rock]

then task.spawn?

[sour vine]

same

[young rock]

what do i do then

[sour vine]

u wanna put a while loop but without it breaking the code from the rest?

[young rock]

x.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local Tick = tick()
while tick() - Tick <= 5 do

    print("Hello")
    
end

end)

so lets say this is the code

would that be a problem

[sour vine]

yea it will crash

[carmine yacht]

where does it return nil

[sour vine]

put wait() after print

[young rock]

yeah right but besides that?

[proper flicker]

fixed issues way long ago maybe you could help me out on my mining system?

[carmine yacht]

what about it do you need help with

[proper flicker]

how should I make the system, using touched, hitboxes or raycasting and how would I do it

like which is move convinient for players

[carmine yacht]

raycasting

[proper flicker]

why exactly and from the players mouse or where

[carmine yacht]

first off what are you mining

open world

[warm mulch]

Does anyone know how to create a character selection in Roblos Studio?

[carmine yacht]

ores in a simulator

[sour vine]

no everything gud

[proper flicker]

ores in a simulator

[young rock]

oh alr thanks i had to make sure

[young rock]

ores in a simulator

[carmine yacht]

raycasting, fast and accurate

[proper flicker]

from the mouse?

[carmine yacht]

raycast from the player's mouse's unit * your hitrange

yes

[proper flicker]

but what about hitboxes why do combat games use those

[proper flicker]

how can I prevent exploiting

[carmine yacht]

sanity checks and only allowing for 1 ore to be mined

add a mining timer on the server that is a few hundred MS earlier than the client and do not let the player mine another ore until the timer is up

[carmine yacht]

hitboxes can be done in a number of ways but they also use raycasting, just a different type which is called shapecasting (casts shape)

well i personally like a mix of both

[proper flicker]

well the pickaxes will have a cooldown but what do I send to the server the ore they mine or the raycast

[carmine yacht]

shapecasting for abilities and raycasting for melee combat

[proper flicker]

how do people use raycasting for combat

[carmine yacht]

you should send the server the ore and then verify the ore on the server

[carmine yacht]

raycast from hands/raycast from multiple points on a tool

[proper flicker]

and for my case?

do I jsut raycast from the mouse?

or the pickaxe

and what about the getpartsinpart stuff where is that used

[carmine yacht]

the mouse

[proper flicker]

for hitboxes

[carmine yacht]

you dont use that because it sucks

you use GetPartBoundsInBox

[proper flicker]

why does it I saw people use it in combat systems

is it expensive?

[carmine yacht]

because they are new to roblox

[carmine yacht]

inaccurate

stupid as hell imo

[proper flicker]

and touched

[carmine yacht]

even worse

[proper flicker]

in which cases is it used and in which not

[carmine yacht]

touched is used for systems that you dont care about accuracy on

teleporters for example

[proper flicker]

for example for upgraders in a tycoon I use touched right

[carmine yacht]

yea

exactly

[proper flicker]

cuz 1 object is stationairy

[carmine yacht]

mhm

[proper flicker]

or does that not matter

I heard that moving objects are weird with touched

[carmine yacht]

yes

inaccurate

[proper flicker]

but does accuracy matter on ores

for the mining

ig ill just use mouse raycasting

[carmine yacht]

laggier

do not use touched for a large amount of items

bro just think of it like this

for 50 ores

50 event listeners

or 1 function call

[proper flicker]

but for example in my tycoon I spawn ores to visualize stuff on the client not minable but on conveyors and there is multiple upgraders and hunderds of ores sometimes do I still used touched?

[rare parcel]

Yo guys, can someone explain to me returning, i cant understand that

[urban dawn]

you have a function, you give function arguements, it returns a value out of your given arguements

[urban dawn]

local function Sum(a,b)
  return a + b
end

print(Sum(2, 2)) --> prints 4

[rare parcel]

Thx for ur help

Hiya, does anyone here use VSCode for Roblox? I'm having trouble getting syntax highlighting to work

What plugin do you use?

[carmine yacht]

luau lsp

[half mango]

guys it doesnt work i want it so when theres someone that clicks on the text button they buy a gamepass and i have a rainbow carpet in replicated storage with a remotevent and when someone buys it the rainbow carpet goes to starter pack but ONLY for that player that bought it

[carmine yacht]

brother

wtf are you doing

[half mango]

its late and im tired

[carmine yacht]

PromptGamepassPurchaseFinished is supposed to be called on the server

Thats first fof

Off

Then you can remove the givePass event

Remove the givecarpet entirely

Just add it when the player joins if they have the gamepass

[half mango]

damn bro im a dumbass

[carmine yacht]

Yea I know

@sacred wagon question, is using simplezone for a bunch of touchpads better/worse than touched?

kinda dumb question but still wanted to ask

[spark bluff]

How much will it cost to create an outfit game

[carmine yacht]

What is an outfit game

[spark bluff]

like people join, there’s pre made outfits they might like and if they buy you get a commission

like all those “halloween outfits”

games

[ornate plinth]

Tho is what I’m working on rn :’)

[carmine yacht]

just make one yourself @spark bluff

[spark bluff]

oh fr? how’s it going

[carmine yacht]

its pretty simple

[thick sail]

It ain't performing how it should then rip

[carmine yacht]

really? wtf

[spark bluff]

i’m really not that experienced and don’t have time, was thinking of paying some people doing it and then running ads

[ornate plinth]

Quite well! Js need to make a map and refine code! :D

[thick sail]

This is what I get

From LSP

[spark bluff]

oh nice, are you going to run ads

[carmine yacht]

try this @wide quail https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=UnderMyWheel.roblox-lua

[ornate plinth]

Most likely

[carmine yacht]

im so confused what is their to refine

is it not just a button system binded to collectionservice

[ornate plinth]

Oh shoot I should come up with a name for it lol

[carmine yacht]

or am i tripping

[ornate plinth]

I need to change ways accessories work and whatnot

[spark bluff]

how much you planning to put into it

[ornate plinth]

As well as change how bundles work

[carmine yacht]

:addaccessory

🤷‍♂️

gl

[ornate plinth]

Not sure tbh, I have never rly done them b4

[ornate plinth]

lol, not quite what i need

[carmine yacht]

idk works pretty well

and bundles are just replacing mesh ids

[ornate plinth]

I js need to change what accessories are being worn and whatnot so it unequips and changes, but should be simple so I’m saving it for later

Is gnomecode helpful then?

[static coral]

and read documentation and search youtube before asking unless it is very specific, you can still try devforum too tho

[static coral]

yeah he is better

[gloomy kiln]

Alright!

[static coral]

i recommend brawldev for beginner

Hello, I made this little traffic light system I would appreciate any feedbacks. This is one of my first systems that I made completly on my own (I am an intermediate scripter)

It's made for a one-lane tunnel allowing trucks to pass one at a time. If a truck enters from the red light side an alarm will be triggered. The lights automatically switch every 20 seconds but if a truck is inside the system prevents switching until the truck exits. If a truck stays inside for over 2 minutes (e.g., player logs off), the system forces a switch to avoid blocking traffic. And main functionality is that if truck enters for the green light side, it will wait until he comes back out, and switch.

[supple spindle]

what do you even mean by that

[random comet]

imagine i have a part

and i click on the part

[thick mulch]

Real quote there in the bio

[random comet]

and the part is inside a model

how would i get the models name

with using that part

[tough relic]

This is ur sign to get an ultrawide monitor

[young rock]

Part.ClickDetector.MouseButton1Click:Connect(Function()
print(Part.Parent.Name)
end)
@random comet
maybe?

[random comet]

2 monitors better

[young rock]

2 monitors?

[tough relic]

I have a 2nd one

just using my macbook as the 2nd one rn

my other monitor is off

[random comet]

yea but 2 is better you can do 2 things at once

without interupting the first one

[tough relic]

with ultrawide + second monitor you can do 3 things at the same time

[random comet]

eh

but its 3x more expensive as well

[tough relic]

not rlly

[random comet]

and 2x more space on your desk

so

[tough relic]

this ultrawide was like $300

[young rock]

but you can buy 2 monitors instead of an ultrawide

[random comet]

so its a 60hz one

[tough relic]

nah 120hz

3440x1440p

[random comet]

nah bro stole that

[young rock]

pretty good actually

[tough relic]

ultrawides have gotten cheap

hence why I bought one

[plucky plank]

Does anyone know if its possible to teleport a player to a seperate placebut control the amount of players that teleport to that place aka.. 1 player server for the same place but a 2 player server for the same place etc

[broken zodiac]

anyone willing to help me with a racing game?

[random comet]

also this doesnt work

its based on raycast

i click the part the raycast detects

so i cant do result.Instance.parent

[young rock]

your script or the clickdetector

[random comet]

my script

[young rock]

you should be able to

by the way you do .Parent not .parent right?

[random comet]

yea ik

[young rock]

and make sure that .Instance isnt nil

[random comet]

uh it isnt

can you join a vc i can show you

[young rock]

could you send a video please?

im in another call right now

[random comet]

uh not sure how

oh

ima just join one of the vcs then prb

[young rock]

alr you can join general 10

do any of u guys know what A-chassis tune is

like the stuff for vehicles on roblox

[somber vault]

you can try googling it

[crimson blaze]

but i already know what it is, im just wondering if u guys know

[somber vault]

.

no we dont

[crimson blaze]

so concerning

[somber vault]

well i dont

[crimson blaze]

ok

[somber vault]

hmmm

[shell zealot]

pettier than stackoverflow

[teal yacht]

i don't understant what it is yet

[somber vault]

GET OU-

how do i learn coding as quick and efficent as possible?

[real rapids]

just farted.

[spice summit]

can someone who knows how to code dm me

[crimson blaze]

u have to caculate the radius of the sun times 2 and divide that by 5 to function in with 0.5 vector points

[somber vault]

rs whats wrong with it

[sacred wagon]

If u use 1 zone for every touchpad its maaayybe better

[stable verge]

its there other ways to apply velocity other than using bodyvelocity cuz thats depricated

[unreal frost]

Anyone able to help me understand this issue.

I've got a remote function and I'm giving it a return value (when I print it, it's what I want) but when I look @ the return value on the client it's not what I want. Like it's not the same as what is being returned inside that remote function.

[spiral jungle]

Is this a local or module script?

[somber vault]

server or local is possible

[spiral jungle]

Not module?

[somber vault]

good idea

[spiral jungle]

Gotta keep the code organised

[somber vault]

alright i made it a module

@spiral jungle

i edit it

[spiral jungle]

Now put it into knit and rojo

And add a 300 module sized library

[wraith spear]

How much for someone to script me a ptz camera? I need it to pan, tilt and zoom. maybe with Motor6D or remote events or something yk to show the camera moving while it’s being controlled. also a script that detects when the user is sitting so they can view and control it?

[spiral jungle]

What is ptz

[somber vault]

and make it the most not flexible thing ever to save .00001ms more because you get fired for not following those practices and forced to work until 3am every weekday to get your project finished or you are also fired

[wraith spear]

pan tilt zoom

[ruby oxide]

to hard

[celest raptor]

how do i make a hold e to spawn car system

[ornate stone]

• do it all on the server and when the prompt is Triggered, grab the player, from their grab the character, then the character's humanoidrootpart

• clone the car model from ReplicatedStorage

• position it to the player's humanoidrootpart + 5 studs in front and 5 studs up

• parent it

• thats it

[ornate plinth]

how did I never realize how similar Lua is to Python~

[ornate plinth]

You could prob find someone in #scripter-hiring who is capable

or post in #scripter-hirable

maybe

i think i said those backwards xD
oh well u get the idea 🤣

[wraith spear]

i thought i was tripping😭

[ornate plinth]

sorry, im sick so severe brain fog 🤣 🤣

[heady jasper]

should i pickup scripting?

[zinc rapids]

indentation

we need curly brackets on lua

[severe cobalt]

cursed

[severe cobalt]

yeah just pop up youtube and follow tutorials. It's best to do simple concepts til things start clicking. Luau can get pretty complex (especially when getting into bit shifting and actors) but you won't need to touch that for most things.

The important thing to remember is if you're struggling, you're doing it right. You won't learn without effort. Practice is what makes things become easy.

[zinc rapids]

nooo curly braces are great

thank god lua has the end keyword at least

[severe cobalt]

the indention is fine with lua if you limit your nesting.

typically when I see curly brackets I have a tendency to associate it with lower level languages (exception with Java), so i like lua being a bit out of the box

[zinc rapids]

if not condition then return end

my beloved

[bleak girder]

hey i need some help with an inventory system

[solar dust]

anyone know what the best regions to sponsor are

[carmine yacht]

whatever regions ur game is localized for

[umbral carbon]

Have you heard of LUARocks?

[sacred prairie]

pls explain

i love learning about new things

[umbral carbon]

It's a package manager for LUA

Like PIP

[sacred prairie]

Neat

[strong spear]

what is this..?

[plucky depot]

why do the models that i clone onto my avatar lag behind my when i turn my camera in shift lock

[strong spear]

i did it and my PC is now levitating

[plucky depot]

why do the models that i clone onto my avatar lag behind my when i turn my camera in shift lock

[umbral carbon]

"Parent 🦊 "

[severe cobalt]

yeah that's the nice part with lua, the fact you can read it. In a way, it sort of feels like the beginner friendly version of cobol.

[stark tapir]

Can someone help me? I have a move where I use a tool and 3 spikes come out the ground in front of me, how do I make it so each spike creates a rubble effect around it?

[half mango]

guys im working on a down bad HORRIBLE brainrotted addicting obby game with rainbows and sunshines for some money with my friend whos trash as hell in roblox studio like my man asked me for help to write a script to make a part transparent lke bro you dont need a script for that and were making this game for some money lol

[half mango]

fr

[crude quarry]

What should I be looking into to determine if a player is inside a part?

[dusky relic]

get parts in part

[crude quarry]

I'll look into it, thanks

[orchid wasp]

was those voice suposed to be and what that was ?

[crude quarry]

I was watching a video about bojack horseman forgot to mute the video when recording

[molten creek]

Need a price opinion

[crude quarry]

$24 schmeckles

[molten creek]

How much would you pay

I need a bunch of specific trolls made

[surreal sky]

anyone want help with their game i am an intermmidiate level scripter i really want to help someone out and practise

[molten creek]

How much would you pay for about 50 different trolls

[snow burrow]

meeee for sure please

that sounds great i know just enough scripting to get me by with trial and error needed someone for that 🙏

[snow burrow]

like to buy the gui? or a gamepass

and if gamepass what type of game do you have it in

[wet violet]

hello guys i wanna get into scripting for roblox i have studied python so i can understand like scripting works and wats the logic behind it but i wanna learn how to code stuff in roblox studio can anyone recommend me any tutorial for this?

[drowsy widget]

Roblox scripting tutorial could work

[indigo pine]

can anyone help me scripting huhu im broke

[scenic wren]

does any body now how to make HumanoidRootPart always rotate as camera at first person? (even while swimming)

[peak sphinx]

Then learn and script yourself huhu

[dense flame]

Silly question
Is it possible to script a npc in a way he remembers the player from last gameplay and his responses change on that

[sour tusk]

why not

[dense flame]

YAYY

[somber vault]

A variable goes to a function and has an argument

[somber vault]

Yeah

[somber vault]

U would have to use data stores for this

Or a system that identifies a played from an outside source like a player badge

[dense flame]

ohhh okay thank you

[hasty mesa]

Hi hi

[sour tusk]

ping

hi hi

[somber vault]

Make a folder inside of a player add datastores to it whenever he talks to a NPC add a value that he has and before he talks to it check if he has talked to the npc by checking if that specific values is in the folder

I think it would be better to Bool Value it but if you want to do it for many NPC's i dont reccoment Bool value

[wraith spear]

How much for someone to like script me a working ptz camera? I need it to pan, tilt and zoom.i also need something yk to show the camera moving while it’s being controlled. also a script that detects when the user is sitting so they can view and control it?

[dense flame]

it’s for only one npc, thank you for the advice

[inland bay]

@candid kestrel cape looks sick

[dire wagon]

is it worth it learning the intricacies of metatables

or is their usefulness limited

[steel lava]

Learn it and decide

They can be useful

But they aren’t a need there is always a work around

[marsh rain]

I think ur audio system has a bug lol

[blissful trail]

The print statement i used to test works but the animation doesnt play does anyone know why? The animation ID is correct

[somber vault]

then use bools because they are just easier to datastore i also saw someone having a single stringvalue and then trying to find the npcs name in the string (the value) but idk about that

[formal meteor]

I'm getting an error: "Argument 1 missing or nil" when clearly the argument is there?? Anyone know what this means? On the :InvokeServer part

It's in a local script

[dense flame]

Got it!!

[gloomy kiln]

This was a practice. I'm learning coding and this is day 1. Looking good or any tips?

The code is not supposed to mean anything)

[somber vault]

show the server side

[lime mountain]

can anyone please tell me how to close this tab? i beg

[formal meteor]

It prints the right thing tho

it prints "rebirths"

[somber vault]

HMM

so you invoking it right like uhh you deliever right data but it gives the error

[formal meteor]

Am I being stupid here

[formal meteor]

correct

[errant jacinth]

neither, use ropes

[placid peak]

wdym "use ropes"

[formal meteor]

leaderboardshandler is the server script

systemhandler is local

[gloomy kiln]

what does the return function mean in a simple way?

[errant jacinth]

rope constraints

[formal meteor]

What am I doing wrong... I don't get it

[gloomy kiln]

What does the ds and plr do in the parenthesis' out of curiosity?

[bleak glade]

satire?

[somber vault]

hmm

[gloomy kiln]

nah i rlly just started learning yesterday

im not that good at it yet i just learnt maths, variables and other things

[formal meteor]

when you use a remote function from local to server, you send any information that you want (in my case ds which is equal to "rebirths" and when you receive it on the server side you put player there, because it automatically sends the plr argument over when going from client to server

[somber vault]

Check other stuff like updateleaderboard

[formal meteor]

Does that make sense

[somber vault]

@formal meteor did you uhh print the table on client or did you print it on server?

[formal meteor]

server

it's not a table tho

[bleak glade]

alright, you dont need a subtraction cause theres a built in one lol, but you could try type annotation on functions that return a value, also use task.wait over wait

[formal meteor]

WAIT A MIN

[gloomy kiln]

i understand it abit

[somber vault]

Print it on client

[bleak glade]

subtraction(n1: number, n2: number): number

[somber vault]

if it gives back right info then your issue is with that function

[formal meteor]

yeah lemme try printing the table

[gloomy kiln]

thanks! i was following the tutorials by devbrawl

[formal meteor]

Doesn't work

since it errors when invoking the remotefunction

[bleak glade]

learn modules

[somber vault]

I honestly have no idea

[formal meteor]

same weird ass shit

[somber vault]

are you using a function or a remote function

?

[formal meteor]

remote function

obviously

[somber vault]

yea

[gloomy kiln]

isn't that in a long time? I'm not at the advanced scripting part yet lol

[bleak glade]

if 57 is your print and 71 is the error, is the invoke even causing that?

[bleak glade]

long time?

[gloomy kiln]

im learning in the beginners tutorial playlist

[bleak glade]

oh not really, i wish i started learning modules earlier because they make your life easier

you can use ones in replicatedstorage and use the functions both on the client and server

[formal meteor]

I have no clue???? It invokes right, and prints out the right argument that I send with it, but for some reason in the local script it's erroring??

[bleak glade]

i use this on the client and server to both find a players party

i just call findparty and pass the parameters in and it will return what i need

[bleak glade]

print out ds on the client then

[formal meteor]

works all fine

but can't print out the table

on client

cause it errors on the invoke thing

it's so weird

I feel like it's not a scripting issue but rather something else

[bleak glade]

i mean the error is there so it is a scripting issue

[gloomy kiln]

is it me or did i still not learn tables in his videos?

[formal meteor]

some setting of my game that I don't have toggled or the remote function secretly being a remote event or something

[bleak glade]

i suggest learning them, really helpful

[gloomy kiln]

where should i learn them?

[bleak glade]

i didnt learn them anywhere tbh, i just looked at the built in functions and made stuff work with it

[formal meteor]

Watch the alvinblox or TheDevKing series

[gloomy kiln]

i heard thedevking was bad

[bleak glade]

theres also different tables in roblox dictionaries and arrays

[formal meteor]

Meh I liked it

Helped me

[gloomy kiln]

ohh

[gloomy kiln]

ok! i'll look into his channel one day if i'm in a problem

[bleak glade]

array = {5, "5", false} dictionary = {Name = "any" value = 5, state = false}

dictionarys use keys and array use indices

[vagrant prism]

Dont underestimate BrawlDev hes really good

[bleak glade]

print array[2] would outcome string 5

[formal meteor]

I bet but I didn't watch him

[vagrant prism]

He helped me, anyway u any good with scripting?

[formal meteor]

Decent yeah why?

[vagrant prism]

Mind helpin me in dms?

[gloomy kiln]

hes like a teacher, basically he explains thourghly what to do and at the end of each videos, he gives like homeworks to do in the comments and the other commenters can correct you to learn

[formal meteor]

send it

[bleak glade]

you should also learn module loading

so you can use modules from anywhere

[gloomy kiln]

lol maybe after I finish with the beginners playlist

rn im learning ''if'' statements

[bleak glade]

this is the one i made

i can pass in any modules i need and it automatically initializies it and i use a shared table to use it in any script

[real rapids]

Awesome sauce

[gloomy kiln]

ooh great

how much time did ir take you to learn this mych

[bleak glade]

i locked in like 5 months ago but technically 2 years

i didnt know what a table or module was till 5 months ago however

[gloomy kiln]

ah yeah reasonable lol

im only coding because i need to make a dcs (it's a variety of scripts/modules scripts thatstores values, animations, n etc though apparently it's hard and complicated a bit to do)

[agile fulcrum]

guys guys , anyone have a idea on a custom character i can make for my game for hwich i wanna be able to add armor and all

[gloomy kiln]

fallen king from tds../jk

[valid bough]

how long did it take to learn lua

from what i know im bad but is a module that thing where you do get service : and then something - or is it just completly different and did i just embariss myself - just a question

[bleak glade]

a module is reuseable code pretty much

thing of a function but as a script

[valid bough]

ohhh i see

[bleak glade]

modules are helpful for things like library that may need to be used on the client and server and can just be called to get a result

[native falcon]

i made a npc move with pathfinding, problem is it stutters/lags when moving. i have setnetwork nil on a server script inside npc itself?

[somber vault]

yo does anyone know how i can put the animations of geppo of jumping and dashing into my script please dm me (my scripter is gone for vaction for 1 month)

[agile fulcrum]

tell fr

[silk tartan]

anyone knows why my animation is only visible to me and not to others

[cedar patrol]

does anyone have any guides on creating r15 viewmodels

[rare bronze]

no

[violet folio]

You can learn lua in a few weeks

[somber vault]

https://tenor.com/view/i-use-vim-i-use-btw-giga-chad-gif-27466354

[glossy solstice]

hey isthere any scripters that works with webhooks

discord & roblox

[jovial ice]

ngl im using modules to hand like main logic of the mechanics(e.g. role assignment abilities etc) and then calling them wherever.
That a good thing or nah?

[bleak glade]

my game is like 95% module so yeah its fine

the best use cases of modules is replicatedstorage one

[jovial ice]

oh.
got mine in serverscript atm

[bleak glade]

idk how your game is setup but you could call some of the functions on the client

in replicated

[jovial ice]

ahh fair

[jovial ice]

atm I have module for role assignment and working on role abilities tonight which will probs go in replicated

[bleak glade]

thats fine, im pretty sure the modules in replicated are read only

[jovial ice]

one thing I need to get good understanding of is rarities etc as there'll be a progression in place that requires them

and no its not a simulator

[bleak glade]

role assignment is probably best outside replicated though tbh

[jovial ice]

Ahh makes sense. Yea still learning things as I go and the project I'm doing is mainly to learn more complex things

[bleak glade]

keep that on the server if its vital to the game

[jovial ice]

yea its in serverscript

with a script calling it and a local script in start player scripts to give player feedback thro UI

what about role related abilities? which one would benefit more? replicated or server script?

[bleak glade]

would it be needed on the client

[jovial ice]

With abilities I mean something simple like
if you are x role you can choose a player to kill during the night
if you are role y you can choose to protect a player etc

[jovial ice]

I'd need player input for it so sort of

[bleak glade]

how are you storing the role, attribute?

[jovial ice]

yep. got role and team attributes

team attribute is for winning conditions

all stored in tables in the role assignment module

logic is:

• you join
• you get assigned to a team
• you get assigned a role belonging to that team
• GUI showing the role you have been assigned appears on your screen

[bleak glade]

im not sure tbh the security with modules is kinda weird from what i know

the client could change the module but the server wouldnt accept the new source code and wouldnt replicate to the server iirc

[jovial ice]

ugh that sucks

[true moon]

I want to make a character camera position shifted to the right in the y extension. Any chance of sharing a sample code?

[jovial ice]

client could change it from serverscript too? or can it only be changed if in replicated?

[bleak glade]

no the server cant be changed

i think module scripts only run their code once

[jovial ice]

gonna keep in server script then sounds safer

[jovial ice]

thats fine tbf. role assignment only occurs upon joining(start of the round)

[bleak glade]

yeah its actually better for security that it only runs once, because a client couldnt modify it

[jovial ice]

and then cleared up upon leaving to avoid issues when joining a new round

[bleak glade]

for the server

[jovial ice]

ahh I see. Makes sense thank you

[bleak glade]

np i might have been a little wrong with some of that cause security with modules is a little weird thats why i dont put data in there but its something along that line

[jovial ice]

random question.
For game logic needs the round goes as follows

• Round starts(day1)
• after 60s night comes(lasts 30s)
• after night day 2 comes

This goes on until someone has won(winning conditions are met)

Is it best to use os.time to do this?

[bleak glade]

i did it this way cause i use tables

[jovial ice]

that's fair enough. I appreciate the help

[bleak glade]

os time or an attribute somewhere

[jovial ice]

I've thought of os.time as I heard its best way to make sure everyone is on the same page during the game.
Not sure how I would go about making sure however that everyone has loaded before start of day1

[bleak glade]

i thought you were using preloadasync

[jovial ice]

Someone mentioned to have players in a table that is transfered from lobby place to round place im guessing and wait for everyone in the table to load

[jovial ice]

Isnt that just to allow everything to load before players are loaded?

[fathom stratus]

yo zloryhh

[jovial ice]

yo

[bleak glade]

idk never needed to use it

[fathom stratus]

do u know why when i import an animation it doesnt work?

[jovial ice]

from what I've seen thats what I thought it is tbf

[fathom stratus]

even tho it worked before

[jovial ice]

which if it is, I will probs make use of
But issue is more a matter of avoiding putting players at disadvantage by starting round before everyones actually been teleported

[bleak glade]

seems to be a callback to load things

[fathom stratus]

is that an answer to me?

[jovial ice]

no idea. havent done animations like ever

[fathom stratus]

oh shit im blind

didnt see ur message

[fathom stratus]

alr

[jovial ice]

np

[fathom stratus]

np

[jovial ice]

makes sense. Ill have a read on it when I get a chance

[fathom stratus]

are there any helpers on this server?

[bleak glade]

from the roblox documentation they use a table and callback with preloadasync

[jovial ice]

doubt staff is here to necessarily help with developing but you might get some help in #animation

[fathom stratus]

alr

ty

[jovial ice]

ohh I see.

[jovial ice]

only worry I have is
Lets say 10 players join queue
teleport starts
1 of them quits mid teleport
that 1 player would still be in the table of players im guessing? thats cuz afaik I'd have the table on the lobby place be sent to the round place in some shape
but that would mean that the table wouldn't be able to be modified(if at all) until in the round place

And I can see how someone leaving would cause issues with round initiation
Or later on role assignment (theres like 5 roles that have no player reqs but theres also like 10 roles that are only assigned if the minimum target of players has been reached)

[bleak glade]

honestly i dont use preload so idk, what i'd do personally is use a message to figure out how many people there should be, repeat task.wait until that quota is met or just quit the repeat after 10 seconds

im not sure if the repeat would start before your timer though

[jovial ice]

mhm

[bleak glade]

if you have a constant number of players its easier

[jovial ice]

for the message you mean seeing how many players there should be based on how many of them joined the queue and were still in the queue when the teleport got triggered?

[bleak glade]

yes, send the message based on the people in queue

[jovial ice]

ohh makes more sense

yea that sounds easier

[pearl lintel]

v

[jovial ice]

then I could avoid triggering any function that has a min player req if any of them quit midway tp

[bleak glade]

idk much about teleportservice and sending the data with the players so i'd use a datastore personally but im sure theres better methods if you looked into finding the players in the table

if youre just looking for the number, use an array to store their name in the table or something, and just send the number of children over to place 2

[jovial ice]

yea I will need to have a good read about teleport service and anything associated with it

I mean either this or I wont learn and get any better so🤷‍♂️

[ancient dome]

Hello guys i want start learning lua and im here to ask yall do you have any tips how do I beggin

Is the dev king tutorial good for Beginners?

[ancient dome]

Me?

[candid kestrel]

no thats my recording bugging

it doesnt sound like that ing

[crude bobcat]

How would I make realistic acceleration for a vehicle? Ive made my own chassis, now I just cant figure out how to make it accelerate like a real car would, as in accelerate slower at higher speeds.

[tawdry trout]

Does anyone know how to replicate the destruction physics in jujutsu shenanigans. I’m want that kind of destruction in my game

[dusty lagoon]

lf a experienced scripter that I can talk to

[atomic violet]

does anyone know how i can check if a player is following a user on roblox, on roblox studio?

[feral bloom]

Use BrawlDev’s tutorials on scripting, the videos are kinda long but trust me he explains it pretty well, I myself am on the advanced scripting tutorial playlist rn

But start with the beginner scripting tutorial first just so you can get an understanding of the basics

[high current]

there is any way to secure my game from saveinstance()?

[wraith spear]

anyone can try to help script me a ptz camera? I need it to pan, tilt and zoom.i also need something yk to show the camera moving while it’s being controlled. also a script that detects when the user is sitting so they can view and control it? i’ve tried chatgpt and it’s been no help and made my problem worse. either that or im just dumb

i have all the weld constraints, attachments and hinges but when the person sits at the seat they can’t view the camera to control it nor can you see the camera moving.

[latent juniper]

looking for someone to go over scripting pricing and payment. I am looking to make a game and hire some devs but just want to know some average pricing so pls dm me your skill level and priceper what eever unit you wish to use (time/lines/difficulty/ect)

[marsh rain]

It’s called voxelization

[surreal sky]

yo can someoe legit show me how to make a leaderboard

[bleak glade]

ordereddatastore

[sour vine]

its complex

very complex

[surreal sky]

hmmm

dyum

[surreal sky]

i alr know how to make an ordered data stroe but i dont know how to implement it to make a global leaderboard

[bleak glade]

setasync tells you how to

key (the user id) value (the stat value)

use a loop to iterate every like 10-60 seconds of all the players and run a function that sets async and its global then

[surreal sky]

I am so confused rn i just dont quite understand i need like a step by step tutorial

[bleak glade]

if you type a function it tells you the parameters it expects

[velvet ether]

So, i've been told by a friend that implementing animations on the serverside is better for combat focused games where stuff like hitboxes and particles need to be timed with the animations, is this true?

[surreal sky]

but everything on utube is either outdated or using a preexisting board

[bleak glade]

im telling you how to do it

see if you type any function in, it tells you the parameters it expects

[hardy pilot]

Sure

I dont know how exactly animators handle it

But I assume its the same as client with one less context to go through

[austere hound]

What

[snow burrow]

local NpcHumanoid = script.Parent
local Waypoints = workspace.AI.WayPoints:GetChildren()

function patrol()
    table.sort(Waypoints, function(a, b)
        return a.Name < b.Name
    end)
    
    for _, waypoint in Waypoints do
        if waypoint:IsA("BasePart") then
            NpcHumanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
            NpcHumanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
        end
    end
end

while true do
    patrol()
end```
anyone know why this wouldnt work? npc walks about half way to the waypoint then ends up switching paths to the next one, its supposed to get to the next numbered part then switch paths

[thorn frigate]

handle all the technical aspects like hitboxes, damage on server and animations vfx on client

[steady depot]

I’d say, add 3 print statments: one after movetofinished event, one at the end of the for loop in the patrol function, and one in the whileloop after the patrol function

It wont fix the issue but it will help finding where the issue could be situated at

Then you run the code and observe when what runs

Or you can use debugs and breakpoints instead, that also works

Cuz rn the only idea I think could be the cause is if one of the children in this waypoints folder/group isnt a basepart and it just skips the rest

[shut night]

how hard is it to learn scripting

[hardy pilot]

Well its a very expansive topic

[somber vault]

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME

@sand furnace

SHOW US UR STAFF SKILLZ FR

[indigo stirrup]

my current code that works like i want it to now, most trouble was trying to get multiplier not to act weird between 0 and 1. any advice or suggestions? otherwise i'm keeping this

[somber vault]

touching?

😱

[indigo stirrup]

i changed it to use heartbeat after looking up some stuff and made a function to add points instead with better math variable

[somber vault]

Other than how ugly it looks and some poor practices no your chilling

[indigo stirrup]

just closed tho so too lazy to show again

[indigo stirrup]

💔 2 days in, i'll get there

lmk what the poor practices are tho

[somber vault]

Some indenting would be pretty sick

[somber vault]

define services at the top not inside of your events bc the way u get the player is sickening to look at

[indigo stirrup]

wdym by that

is the getplayerfromcharacter not at the top of the function

how can i make it higher

i got interested and reopened it, i'm assuming this? '

i sleep now

[agile fulcrum]

guys my friend added this to game
what does it do

[stray dagger]

have any of you made a movement system without the humanoid?

[spice imp]

getinstanceaddedsignal in collectionservice is the best function ever

[agile fulcrum]

anyone?

[stray dagger]

forst part

makes hands visible

or no

head visible

for some reason

[gloomy kraken]

I think what it does is that it changes transparency for the player's character ONLY on their client. and the second part just moves their camera offset based on their head cframe

im guessing this is for a first person game?

[stray dagger]

he makes the head visible

why would it be visible in first person

what are you talking abt

[gloomy kraken]

oh wait hmm im wrong mb

[gloomy kraken]

the script excludes the head

[stray dagger]

either way the script gon break on slow computer cause he doesn't wait for the character to load

[stray dagger]

read it again it doesnt say if ~= head it says if == "Head"

what are you talking abt lol

???

[gloomy kraken]

it says v.Name ~= "Head"

zoom in bro

[stray dagger]

mm

i see so the script js makes the legs, hands torso visible

and ts gon break either way

cause he's not waiting for character load

[gloomy kraken]

maybe he put it in startercharacterscripts

[stray dagger]

could be

i dont get the run service one

he shoots a ray and if it hits the camera moves

ion really know why you would need something like that

[gloomy kraken]

hmm what if it was used to stop the camera from clipping into the wall?

[stray dagger]

i mean in first person the wall never really clips in the wall

head*

but i guess maybe it could

if it's some pvp game then maybe it's valid

[gloomy kraken]

yeah

one thing i dont get is how they used ray.new

because i think its deprecated and workspace:Raycast is newer

[stray dagger]

yeah, but a lot of people watch tutorials making ts and don't even look at what they are writing

look at most code

still using bodyVelocity

when it had been deprecated for like 3 years

and 99% code snippets still use linear velocity because they blindly copy tutorials

[gloomy kraken]

yeah most tutorials i see are just spoonfeeding code

i doubt most new devs would actually try to understand the model that they are dragging and dropping into their "game"

but that's just my two cents

[sacred prairie]

i teach scripting professionally

on a monthly basis

unlike the per hour people do

[graceful vale]

https://www.roblox.com/games/16167223198/NEW-MAP-Combat-Surf how much should I pay for someone to make a movement system similar to this

[hard mulch]

there is legit no movement system wdym?

u talking about the sliding?

[sacred prairie]

u should pay 120

[graceful vale]

bunny hop

[hard mulch]

120?

[graceful vale]

sounds absurd ngl

[hard mulch]

bro wdym by bunny hop?

[sacred prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-no-nope-nah-never-gif-17591850

[graceful vale]

movement system like the one in counter strik, search it

[hard mulch]

oh alr

[sacred prairie]

and u think counter strike is a roblox game

counter strike is a professional game on steam

[graceful vale]

like the game on roblox called "Surf" but have it easier to use and faster

[graceful vale]

I am making a kids game, don't overcomplicate stuff.

[sacred prairie]

well since we're removing "overcomplicated stuff"

i'd say 50 - 70 usd

[hard mulch]

why you all suddenly beefing

[graceful vale]

that would be more reasonable

[sacred prairie]

yes i know

i've been doing this for a while now

[graceful vale]

@hard mulch

[sacred prairie]

ofc the price is reasonable

Anyways, I hope I could help

[hard mulch]

oh ok

but i mean he is right tho counter strike is a massive game

[graceful vale]

yeah

[sacred prairie]

you know what else is massive?

https://tenor.com/view/michelle-trachtenberg-eurotrip-gif-18313616

[gloomy kraken]

so bhopping is a mixture of using left and right air acceleration and preserving momentum in midair hmmm

[sacred prairie]

LOL

[stone garden]

Head moving system

I think

[gloomy kraken]

im probably wrong so correct me

[frail parcel]

question to the scripters:

how do you balance upfront/on completion payments? on the one hand, the scripter doesn't want to get scammed by the buyer so asks for upfront. on the other, the buyer doesn't want to get scammed so asks for on-completion.

bringing this up because a scripter who I thought was trustworthy not only stole money from me, but also stole my game idea (since I can't script it's a concerning prospect)

contemplating not doing upfronts anymore but what kind of scripters do on completion you feel?

[somber vault]

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLZ DM

@ ME PLZ PLZ PLZ

[dusky relic]

Up-front should only be done with people you trust, i.e. scripters you've worked for in the past

[sacred prairie]

i never do completion

its either upfront , partial upfront or per task

im not making a whole pet sim game then getting paid

[frail parcel]

well I'm asking for what's the middle ground? because scripters seem to be getting comfortable with scamming

used to be a builder-only thing but I'm seeing it a lot more with scripters now

[hollow hemlock]

hourly rate

[dusky relic]

If only 🙏

[graceful vale]

how much should I pay?

[hardy pilot]

Low

[high pumice]

Hello gyus how can I send my message in scripting-hirable?

[carmine yacht]

50-70 usd for a bunnyhop system

[high pumice]

anyone tell me how to send in the scripting-hirable

[carmine yacht]

#marketplace-info

[high pumice]

ok thanks man

[carmine yacht]

lol this is wrong

[high pumice]

lol

[carmine yacht]

this only happens when you find shitty devs @frail parcel

you will not be scammed if you press on development

i do not take upfront and never have, i take after completion (before releasing the game to the client) or per task

or if its long term %/trusted company that i am familiar with i will work with them in their own studio

[high pumice]

wait aseond

[carmine yacht]

what

[high pumice]

wait a second

[carmine yacht]

not everyone takes per task

and there are plenty of people you can sell the assets to if things go in the opposite direction

not to mention people buy fully completed games all the time

just have to have clients

[tidal owl]

where

[high pumice]

What your bunnyhop system will do?

[carmine yacht]

he needs a bunnyhop system to be like cs

[carmine yacht]

what where

[nimble field]

i think he meant where do ppl buy full games

[carmine yacht]

you can either seperate the assets (assuming you programmed the game properly and made it dynamic) into systems and sell them to asset library sites/discord servers

or you can sell the game to a game studio

if the concept is decent it will be bought

[frail parcel]

not easy to differentiate friend

the scripter I hired had contributed to 5 games with 5 billion visits

guess my game idea was good enough to warrant throwing away that reputation 🤷‍♂️

[nimble field]

just checking, u reported him right?

[frail parcel]

yes, I've filed a scam report

[nimble field]

ok good

hope they get banned

[frail parcel]

they left the server . only reason i filed a report is to help others in case they return

[indigo flame]

anyone has experience with doing client-sided knockback? the delay of bodymovers on server is kinda disgusting tbh. and client-side bodymovers make it smooth only for the victim depending on the network ownership 😭

[carmine yacht]

name

i also do not count contributed

proper work & solo/duoed projects >> contributed

large games rotate devs faster than i can blink

[carmine yacht]

yes

what is the difficulty

[frail parcel]

chextime

[carmine yacht]

which games did he say he contributed to

[hardy pilot]

Or he just lied

[carmine yacht]

i mean thats what im figuring out

@frail parcel what was the job and what was your offered pay

[indigo flame]

not sure how to make it smooth for all clients, what i did is fireall clients an event which applies a linevelocity on the client of everyplayer to the victim but its only smooth for the victim

[hardy pilot]

This is such a common issue

[carmine yacht]

this is a terrible idea

[hardy pilot]

I don't know how to fix it either

[indigo flame]

ik 😭

[carmine yacht]

set network ownership of the uppertorso to the client, apply the force to the client

[hardy pilot]

because you can't really client predict physics like that

[carmine yacht]

it should replicate fine

[hardy pilot]

For this to works, it first needs to travel to the server to set the network ownership.

[carmine yacht]

and if that is not good enough then you will have to use a spring implementation or play an animation on the player @indigo flame

[hardy pilot]

and thats not mentioning how insecure that is

[carmine yacht]

mate uppertorso network ownership won't hurt anyone

[frail parcel]

350$ , the job was a range of different tasks but all towards making a game I had in mind

[carmine yacht]

its not even rootpart

[hardy pilot]

Not how network owner works

It's based on assemblies.

[carmine yacht]

can you explain to me why uppertorso network ownership would be an issue

[hardy pilot]

Because that isnt how the physics work

[carmine yacht]

er

[hardy pilot]

They're based on the larger assembly

You can't own a part of an assembly

[carmine yacht]

that is not true

a lot of ragdoll systems use that method for ragdolling

why don't we try it and see instead of saying whos right and whos wrong

[deft lodge]

where is the channel for gui commisons to hire

[carmine yacht]

anyways there is the solution of springing the client

[indigo flame]

ill try both ig

[carmine yacht]

oh no what will i do my client has network ownership of their character where i can add a sanity check and disable it after ran

😭

[hardy pilot]

Huh?

You suggested this for knockback

[carmine yacht]

queln why don't you propose a good solution

yes i did

[indigo flame]

yeah tho a sanity check could fix the vuln pretty good ig

[carmine yacht]

i know thats why its called a sanity check

i didnt think you would just give all players network ownership for no reason lol

thats dumb af

[carmine yacht]

what games did he say he contributed ot

his profile says 11b+ visits on twitter lol

[hardy pilot]

If I am understanding correctly, you're planning to give physics control to the players enemy

[indigo flame]

i thought you can only have 1 ownership at a time?

[carmine yacht]

wtf

no

[hardy pilot]

Then how do you work this for knockback

[frail parcel]

floor is lava and sharkbite games

[frail parcel]

rip

[carmine yacht]

you have to replicate it anyways right... so while you replicate the effects you can also send the affected player data to make them knockback themselves

[hardy pilot]

Right but then it's choppy for everyone else

as well as higher latency

[indigo flame]

thats what happened to me yh

[hardy pilot]

You make the problem worse

[indigo flame]

its smooth for the victim and choppy for everyone else

[carmine yacht]

its gonna be choppy for everyone else if you dont replicate it

and just run it on the server

@indigo flame btw what are you using to do knockback

[carmine yacht]

sec

[hardy pilot]

For some reason body movers on server work terrible

[indigo flame]

line velocity i tried

i tried assemblylinearvelocity of hrp

and bodyvelocity which is deprecated

[hardy pilot]

I got no clue how games do this

[carmine yacht]

you have other methods, try AlignPosition and ApplyImpulse

[hardy pilot]

ApplyImpulse has the same issues
