[carmine yacht]

AlignPosition worked nicely for me

[indigo flame]

fr

[carmine yacht]

But not for knockback

gotta try it out

pretty sure replicating to the client and giving network ownership is the best way

[hardy pilot]

It'd be pretty iffy for knockback

[carmine yacht]

you have to replicate anyways so

[hardy pilot]

Since you'd lose all control

[carmine yacht]

for effects

[hardy pilot]

as well get knocked not in a direction but to a position

[hardy pilot]

Yeah but how do you replicate this

[deft lodge]

@hollow steeple your dms are off. we cant message you for work please open them

[hardy pilot]

Check his profile

[indigo flame]

i thought smh about applying the bodymover to the victim client then simulating on other clients with tween but that would probably suck

[hardy pilot]

Oh you mean for work as an offer

not as portfolio

[carmine yacht]

1 sec bro

[hardy pilot]

1

[carmine yacht]

let me just test in a baseplate

[hardy pilot]

Out of time

[carmine yacht]

i did a slam moveset the other day and i had to resort to localized replication

with a sanity check

to sync the slam effects up

because of ping

what is sharkbite games

what is his roblox user btw

[hardy pilot]

Localized replication?

[carmine yacht]

server > play on client > client sends 'finished' to server > server replicates to other players

with a temporary queue

and a 3 second sanity check to ensure that the player doesnt block the damage remote incase of a cheater

@indigo flame are u sure its choppy?

im testing in 2 player test to double check

ah i see

[indigo flame]

yeah

[carmine yacht]

yea i saw

[indigo flame]

smooth for only one player right?

[carmine yacht]

yea

i saw a solution was to replicate it to each client in the game

but maybe you can try non-force movement

[indigo flame]

if you give the networkship of the victim root to the attacker then its only smooth for the attacker

[carmine yacht]

like a spring

i do not recall non-force movement being choppy

[indigo flame]

i think it has to do smth with non force, but when u tween the victims client its still choppy for others if you do not replicate somehow

[carmine yacht]

no tween

spring bro

also animations i know are smooth

so you might wanna look int othat

[indigo flame]

spring as in the spring constraint?

[indigo flame]

yeah but anims do not move the rootpart but i guess you can move it manually

[carmine yacht]

nono

a spring movement module

like

update the cframe on stepped/renderstepped

with a spring

[indigo flame]

oh right i saw that being used somewhere but why spring isnt kb kinda just linear

i mean depends on the

[carmine yacht]

i mean you can also make it linear

but i feel like you will need to be do cframe updating

for knockback

[indigo flame]

i guess, but i'd also need raycasting in case the player is in a corner or a wall cfame will just clip them thru

[carmine yacht]

im trying to think of a solution it cannot be that difficult lol

[indigo flame]

i know god its been done already in most games but i can't think of a good one

[carmine yacht]

have you tried removing mass btw

of the character

and using unreliables alongside regular remotes

[surreal sky]

i have a part that is supposed to give u 1 coin every time u touch it ive tried evrything even using remote events and functions to just legit making the part give u one value when touched on the local side how can i do this i am confused rn

[indigo flame]

nope ill do some testing with those

[proper flicker]

does anyone know how I could handle ore spawning in my game for mining like pet sim 99 does like how do they generate or spawns? i thought of generating random spots in a area and then using bound box on them to check if htere is any ores nearby but how often could I do this to not cause any performance issues, so do I use bound box or magnitude checks and generate a random pos on the area?

[charred dragon]

can someone help me make a script?

[twilit parcel]

question pls, i tried changing the property of the camera but it doesnt work. Any idea how i could reference the players camera using a script (that is not local script).

[bleak glade]

Handle the touch on the server, increment the hits parents stat

[charred dragon]

Can someone help me fix a script

[karmic cobalt]

Can someone help with ProfileSerivce, I lost all ideas how to fix it XD

[wispy trench]

never turn on new type solver on studio beta

[smoky flare]

send code here

[faint saffron]

does touchpan ignore gameprocessed? because even if i check for it, when i move over the thumbstick; it moves my camera while it should be blocking it

[smoky flare]

use remote event to tell the client to do something with camera

[mental hawk]

[somber vault]

???… #marketplace-info

[surreal sky]

Can u explain further?

[twilit parcel]

Got it! Thanks ToS

[warm root]

can someone help i need a local script in starterplayerscripts to check the players leaderstats to see what stage the player is on and if the player is on stage 20 it disables scripts in some gui buttons

[somber vault]

Why is PathfindingService so annoying

I'm going to snap necks if it isn't updated soon

[mellow prawn]

does anyone recommend use script sync? programming with vsc in roblox

[proper flicker]

For my ore spawning system in a certain area. Do I use the models extent sizes to do magnitude checks? + some extra distance and how many times should I run the function, before I time out for a certain time if the area is full.

[plain dock]

lf someone who can make a game icon/thumbnail dm me fast

[indigo flame]

use rojo if you're not team creating, otherwise use the script sync functionality i don't know how well it works now

[sudden igloo]

is there a way to make a hit box that could always be on the floor no matter the elevation changes?

[mellow prawn]

do you think rojo is that good to use, some says that its good some people says that its overkill and studio is already enough for coding

[indigo flame]

i don't think studios workflow is good enough but depends what do you want

vscode extensions are nice and you have an lsp so you're not missing out

[mellow prawn]

ok thanks, i'll just try it and see by my self

[whole turtle]

how does a m1 system work? does it just detect each m1 in a certain time period and link a animation to that click or?

[indigo flame]

basic example is to make a local script and fire a remote every m1 and handle that on a server script

[whole turtle]

hm alr

[manic bolt]

yo

anyone knows how to send the accesscode from reserveserver() to other servers through messagingservice

[rugged wasp]

Does it make a difference to use module scripts to save global tables, instead of just doing "_G.PlayerData = DataTable"?

[shut sorrel]

Global variables don't work on client and server like modules do, they're also really old and are slower than modules, like _G.PlayerData in a localscript will only work in other localscripts

[rugged wasp]

Well yeah I don't really need more than that. I used _G for a previous game I made and it got a couple M visits and I never had a problem with it. But people told me it's not good to use it hence why I am asking

[shut sorrel]

I don't see a problem with using it if it works

[rugged wasp]

that's what I am saying

[radiant mist]

Sorry if this sounds dumb but what is meant by libraries in programming?

[rotund cedar]

 region = region:ExpandToGrid(1)
    local partsInRegion = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(region,"shitwewillexclude", 1)
    if #partsInRegion > 0 then
        for _, part in ipairs(partsInRegion) do
            print("Part blocking area:", part.Name, part.Position)
        end
        
    end

how can we make it so that shitwewillexclude is not one object but a list? Somebody said overlap parameters but I didnt understand how to use it so Im looking for a diferent advice

[stuck radish]

[obsidian lintel]

is there a way to change a parts velocity even if it is the primarypart of a model and is welded with other parts?

[gentle crypt]

hello everyone

[foggy siren]

my page build and deployment workflows keep on failing, why is this?

[carmine yacht]

has improved a lot, only thing is better rollbacking and commit history

[indigo flame]

yeah its more about the code editor than the workflow i'd use neovim if studio was stable on linux

[hasty cobalt]

is upladoing animations down

#code-help

[rotund cedar]

I don't want to go back there gang

[sacred prairie]

lol

[rotund cedar]

Ive decided to not fix it

[sacred prairie]

pass the code

[rotund cedar]

until a bigger issue appears

[sacred prairie]

ok

[gloomy kraken]

mess around with filtertype

[rotund cedar]

Im gonna sweep my issues under the rug till the rug is no longer holding it back

[rotund cedar]

hmmm

[sacred prairie]

a very poor way to deal with issues

[rotund cedar]

nahh that wont cut it

[sacred prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/sigma-flaygel-left-the-world-sigma-vs-boy-war-gif-3565359896491425492

[rotund cedar]

but what if it doesnt cause problems

[sacred prairie]

what if

[rotund cedar]

how can I make an if statement that is like:

If the array has elements in it return false

maybe #array > 0?

yo waitt hold on chat did I cook

[sacred prairie]

if array: return False
This means if the list is not empty (has elements), it returns False. If it's empty, the if statement doesn't execute, and you can handle that case separately.

[gloomy kraken]

so like what are you trying to do

[sacred prairie]

in python that is

[rotund cedar]

my way works too tho right? Atleast it worked in my script

[rotund cedar]

I have spawn areas for objects to spawn. I create zones around the objects Im trying to create to check for stuff like trees. If the zone is colliding with a tree it prevents the object from spawning

[sacred prairie]

if #array > 0 then
    return false
end

this is how u do it in lua

[rotund cedar]

yh did that

[sacred prairie]

so yes ur way works

https://tenor.com/view/sigma-flaygel-left-the-world-sigma-vs-boy-war-gif-3565359896491425492

he cooked

he did it.

[rotund cedar]

🙏

on gang chatgpt is not useful I learned more trying to correct what chatgpt does wrong than any other method

[sacred prairie]

i learned with docs and grok

grok 3 most specifically

and api reference

[rotund cedar]

docs?

[sacred prairie]

documentation

[rotund cedar]

oh so reading basicly

[gloomy kraken]

chatgpt once suggested i take my vfx script to server to "reduce strain" on client 😭

[sacred prairie]

yes

lol

chatgpt needs some milk

[rotund cedar]

chatgpt is extremely ass but because I paid 20 dollars for it I use it. Because I use it I learn throughout the process of fixing its mistakes

[sacred prairie]

wow u actually paid for the subscription

[gloomy kraken]

you could also go roblox dev forums

[sacred prairie]

never had a reason to lol

[half mango]

anyone want a mod for his roblox game im free of charge

[rotund cedar]

I don't want to create threads because I generally can solve the issue after a while of thinking

[rotund cedar]

my friend said its worth it so I said why not

[sacred prairie]

👍

[gloomy kraken]

no i mean looking through past threads to see if someone else had a similar issue

[half mango]

anyone want a mod for his game im free of charge?

[livid spear]

u might wanna try claude 3.7

[rotund cedar]

local function createPart(properties, i)
    local newPart = Instance.new("Part", spawnArea)
    for key, value in pairs(properties) do
        newPart[key] = value
    end


    newPart.Position = Vector3.new(randomPosition(newPart, i))
    
    print(newPart.Position)
    newPart.Name = "Part " .. i
    local cd = Instance.new("ClickDetector", newPart)

    return newPart
end

```currently the zone detection script I have returns false if the zone is not empty. When false is returned for RandomPosition and the newPart.Position is printed it is printed as 0,0,0. How can I make it so that if randomPosition returns false, the script tries it again

[livid spear]

its free and its one of the best AIs for scripting atleast out of all of the ones ive tested

[rotund cedar]

like it will constantly try until it finds a place.

[livid spear]

but then again, it can really only make stuff that a 2 week scripter could make tbh.

[half mango]

so no one wants a free mod?

[livid spear]

what in minecraft

[half mango]

no in a roblox game

like

a moderator

[livid spear]

what is u talking abt chicken ass boy

time in time out ass boy

[rotund cedar]

yhh tbh I use chatgpt mostly to remember ways on how to do stuff. Like I can forget to use an array here or there and chatgpt reminds me of it

[livid spear]

how big is the game

[rotund cedar]

@sacred prairie can u help me with it?

[half mango]

bro you misunderstood me

[sacred prairie]

ok

[half mango]

i wanna be a mod

[livid spear]

oh

[half mango]

for a game

[sacred prairie]

im investigating the issue

[half mango]

im bored

and i have nothing to script

[livid spear]

bro u dont even need any experience in anything to do that

[half mango]

ik

[livid spear]

alr then so which game is it

[sacred prairie]

i think u should create

3 variables

[livid spear]

scripting isnt about memory

[sacred prairie]

for postion, attempts, and maxAttempts

[livid spear]

its about understanding, then the memory naturally comes.

[sacred prairie]

local function createPart(properties, i)
    local newPart = Instance.new("Part", spawnArea)
    for key, value in pairs(properties) do
        newPart[key] = value
    end

    local position
    local attempts = 0
    local maxAttempts = 100

    repeat
        local temp = randomPosition(newPart, i)
        attempts = attempts + 1
        if attempts > maxAttempts then
            error("Could not find a valid position after " .. maxAttempts .. " attempts.")
        end
        if type(temp) == "table" and not (temp.x == 0 and temp.y == 0 and temp.z == 0) then
            position = Vector3.new(temp)
            break
        end
    until false

    newPart.position = position
    print(newPart.position)
    newPart.Name = "Part " .. i
    local cd = Instance.new("ClickDetector", newPart)
    return newPart
end

[livid spear]

oh yeah and just script more often and it will naturally stick

[rotund cedar]

ok wait real quick

so I did a print(randomPosition(newPart, i)) and it returned false as expecte

cant we make it so that if it equals to false it does something

in this case attempts

or am I pulling a yandereDev rn

[sacred prairie]

hm

Good question

[ancient dome]

Thanks, I watched 8 videos and i understand almost everything from them except "return"

[sacred prairie]

since the print(randomPosition(newPart, i))

confirms randomPostion returns false, when it fails

right?are u following?

where's the guy im talking to

[rotund cedar]

wait

Im here

[sacred prairie]

are u following?

[rotund cedar]

yeah

[sacred prairie]

exactly. so

[rotund cedar]

I had to check something

[sacred prairie]

we can tweak the createPart function

to retry specifically

when it returns false

[rotund cedar]

yeah I tried to implement it

[sacred prairie]

so that u don't have to check for a table with 0,0,0 coordinates

[rotund cedar]

mhm

[half mango]

how do i become a moderator for roblox games?

[sacred prairie]

lemme edit it real quick

[rotund cedar]

maybe if we use a repeat until?

[sacred prairie]

local function createPart(properties, i)
    local newPart = Instance.new("Part", spawnArea)
    for key, value in pairs(properties) do
        newPart[key] = value
    end

    local position
    local attempts = 0
    local maxAttempts = 100

    repeat
        local temp = randomPosition(newPart, i)
        attempts = attempts + 1
        if attempts > maxAttempts then
            error("Could not find a valid position after " .. maxAttempts .. " attempts.")
        end
        if temp ~= false then  -- If not false, assume it’s a valid position
            position = Vector3.new(temp)
            break
        end
    until false

    newPart.Position = position
    print(newPart.Position)
    newPart.Name = "Part " .. i
    local cd = Instance.new("ClickDetector", newPart)
    return newPart
end

the loop repeats

like it keeps running

if temp == false

when randomPosition returns anything other than false

[rotund cedar]

shouldnt we make it until true?

[sacred prairie]

, we assume its a valid position

[rotund cedar]

oh wait

[sacred prairie]

loop

[rotund cedar]

if the placing fails it returns false

so shouldnt we make the loop break when we get a valid position?

like shoudlnt the loop continiue as long as we are getting false

[sacred prairie]

u could actually use repeat-until true

since it aligns well

the other one prob could have made it to run indefinitely

[rotund cedar]

also we didnt make local position equal to anything

[sacred prairie]

but the position could be nil

if attempts > maxAttempts

triggers first

[rotund cedar]

cant we make an elif for nil specifically

like else if position nil do something

[sacred prairie]

well

since randomPosition

returns false when the zone is not empty

it might also return nil in other failure cases

like an error in its logic

but adding an elif statement

is a good way

to make the script more yk

robust

[rotund cedar]

let me do these changes and tweak them a little bit

and see if they work

[sacred prairie]

alright

good luck champ

[rotund cedar]

appreciate it

also

we didnt assign local position to anything yet

[sacred prairie]

yh i was just saying

as an example

[rotund cedar]

no like

local position
local attempts = xxx

[weary marlin]

thomas shelby

[rotund cedar]

there is no equal sign after local position

[sacred prairie]

👋

[rotund cedar]

to assign it to anything

[weary marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/thomas-shelby-sigma-gif-17989775825883268908

[sacred prairie]

what do you want to assign it to?

[sacred prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/sigma-flaygel-left-the-world-sigma-vs-boy-war-gif-3565359896491425492

[rotund cedar]

should I just make it 0,0,0

[sacred prairie]

prob just leave it declared

i dont think it'll error out

[rotund cedar]

oh can I just declare it without any assignings?

[sacred prairie]

yeah, or just assign what position u want

[rotund cedar]

dangg bruh this is crazy

[sacred prairie]

what's the matter?

[rotund cedar]

learning you can just declare variables was a mindblowing information

[sacred prairie]

lol

[sacred prairie]

it defaults to nil

when u dont assign

something to it though

[quasi pond]

looking for scripters to work on a cashgrab game, Im paying with game revenue, DM me

[sacred prairie]

never thought i would hear this

[wispy creek]

Bro, wait till you learn about implicit type conversions 😆

[sacred prairie]

from a modeler

with the skill role

[weary marlin]

lol

[quasi pond]

Mhmm

Desperate times

[rotund cedar]

we got some problems

[sacred prairie]

?

[rotund cedar]

let me send a video

[sacred prairie]

ur portfolio does not work does it?

[quasi pond]

Huh

[quasi pond]

That is strange

[rotund cedar]

the issue is firstly objects are weird as hell. Their positioning has a problem with the y axis probably

also when I click on a part it shows a few blue areas yk

ok so

the a few blue parts thing is related to the Zones which I use for area control

everytime random position runs a new zone is made

[sacred prairie]

the video isnt loading for some weird reason

[rotund cedar]

and because we run it a few times we have a few zones

I think we can remove the zones during the loop and just fix it

[sacred prairie]

u have the game revenue or do u mean %?

[sacred prairie]

sure

[quasi pond]

%

[sacred prairie]

😮‍💨

[sacred prairie]

ideas?

[quasi pond]

Cashgrab

A guy will invest 50k

[sacred prairie]

no like a cashgrab idea

u can't just "make a cashgrab game"

[rotund cedar]

ok rain we have a lot of issues actually but I will try to fix it myself first. I will lyk

ok

@sacred prairie I made it bruh😭 sort of at least

--this is to destroy the zones if a placement fails:
    if #emptyZone > 0 then
        print("Zone " .. zones.Name .. " found error")
        zones:Destroy()
        return false
    end

-- this is to repeat placement until the position is not 0,0,0 (because if it returns false, the position is defaulted to 0,0,0)

    repeat
        local tempx, tempy, tempz = randomPosition(newPart, i)
        print(tempx, tempy, tempz)
        wait(1)
        newPart.Position = Vector3.new(tempx, tempy, tempz)
    until newPart.Position ~= Vector3.new(0,0,0)
    
```currently the script doesnt rlly have a solution to nil returns (If randomPosition returns nil will the position default back to 0,0,0? because if yes then everything is fine) 

Also the script currently works like this: The part is placed, it got in contact, it is sent to (0,0,0), its zone backtrack is deleted, a new zone is created in a new position, the part is sent to that position.

Also the after fail placements are being made one by one. Lets say part 2 and 3 failed to place:

Part 1,4 and 5 load automatically at the start because they didnt fail. First 2 will undergo the process and when a suitable spot is find for part2 part 3 will begin. Maybe I can use taskspawn though

[peak sphinx]

Lmfao

[fallow arrow]

atleast ur honest

[strange dirge]

I'm looking for the best way / best practice to store and sync cooldowns for my abilities. I saw this tutorial, I learned a lot. But I still have some questions.

His final solution seems to be bad, someone commented to do this instead.

-- Module script
local module = {}
module.Actions = {
    Cooldown = 1
}

module.SkillMoves = {
    Test = {Duration = 3}
}

-- Server script
local started = workspace:GetServerTimeNow()
remote:FireClient(player, {module.Actions.Cooldown, started, "Test"})

-- Client script
remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(content)
    local action = content[1]

    if action == module.Actions.Cooldown then
        local started, skillName = table.unpack(content, 2)
        local skillInformation = module.SkillMoves[skillName]

        local textlabel = ... -- create a textlabel to visualize cooldown

        local c
        c = RunService.heartbeat:Connect(function()
            local remaining = math.floor(skillInformation.Duration-(workspace:GetServerTimeNow()-started))
            textlabel.Text = `{skillName} {remaining}`

            if remaining <= 0 then
                c:Disconnect()
                c = nil
                textlabel:Destroy()
                textlabel = nil
            end
        end)
    end
end)

Is this the right way to do it?

[weak ravine]

local function abc()
    def.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
        -- stop the abc function. how????????
    end)
end

[buoyant ice]

that is garbage and exploitable

[weak ravine]

local function abc()
    def.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
        -- stop the abc function. how????????
    end)
end

[unreal frost]

lmfao

theres nothing there to exploit

😭

[buoyant ice]

do something like this

local CoolDowns = {
    Test = 0,
}

local CDDuration = {
    Test = 3
}
remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(action)
    --Assuming action = Test

    if time() - CoolDowns[action] > CDDuration[action] then --Still on cooldown
        return
    end
    CoolDowns[action] = time()
    --Do the action
end

[unreal frost]

this?

oh u were talking ab the other one

[buoyant ice]

what how would that be exploitable

[unreal frost]

I see

yeah thats what i was saying lol

[buoyant ice]

show the code ur trying to implement

[strange dirge]

Can u elaborate why it's better?

People recommend os.time() and time() functions should be avoided

I cant post links

[ivory dove]

What about tick?

[buoyant ice]

are u trying to store the cooldown in datastore

[strange dirge]

devforum roblox com /t/how-to-actually-sync-cooldowns-between-server-and-client/2661854

[strange dirge]

No, it can be handled by the server & client

[buoyant ice]

it depends on what ur trying to do

[weak ravine]

no code. i literally just want to make a nested function end the outer function...

[strange dirge]

Basically, I want a modular way to be able to handle cooldowns for the player. I have abilities and gun cooldowns. Basically I just want PLAYER, ABILITY combination with a cooldown

[buoyant ice]

time is basically the amount in seconds since the server started/client started (i think)

os.time is the amount of seconds passed since some day in 1970 or some shit

or am i getting mixed up idk

[strange dirge]

Why is it so difficult to find good / best practices for this btw? Every server, every channel, everyone I ask has different answers.

Everyone disagrees to the best ways to do it

[buoyant ice]

because it depends on what ur doing

if u want to sync between server-client then u can use Workspace:GetServerTimeNow()

but if ur just doing cooldowns on the server u can just use time

[weak ravine]

local function abc()
    def.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
        -- stop the abc function. how????????
    end)
end

how can i end the outer function using the nested function?

[strange dirge]

Yes, this most likely

I think I'll use this three-way script I made now.

[buoyant ice]

do u need a cooldown timer on the client?

[rotund cedar]

tbh what I would do is make a module script in SSS. Acces it from serverscript for cooldown checks. Also put the same cooldown values on a local script (U cant access modules from local scripts directly but just use same values). If an exploiter bypasses the local script cooldowns the server will not process their skills and ability usages between cooldowns anyways

[buoyant ice]

why would u even want to do this

[strange dirge]

Yes, at least at the start. I want to make some sort of energy bar that activates after activating the ability.

[strange dirge]

Hmm, take a look at this

[ivory wing]

i am new to scripting. i tried to make part that kills. why this no work?? local script = script.Parent
script.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

if hit.parent:findfirstchild("humanoid") then
    hit.parent.humanoid.health = 0
end

end)

[strange dirge]

local module = {}


module.Actions = {
    StartCooldown = "StartCooldown",
    EndCooldown = "EndCooldown"
}


module.SkillMoves = {
    Fireball = { Duration = 5 }, 
    Heal = { Duration = 10 },   
    Dash = { Duration = 3 }  
}

    elseif action == CooldownModule.Actions.StartCooldown then
        print(`Cooldown started for {skillName} (Duration: {duration}s)`)
    end
end)

I'm sure it works, as I've tested it, but I am mainly asking about modularity & efficiency

[buoyant ice]

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0
    end
end)

try that

[ivory dove]

What's your issue?

[ivory wing]

what was the problem i did?

[ivory dove]

Mainly

[buoyant ice]

coding languages are case sensitive, compare the code i sent to ur own code

[spice egret]

Hi

[ivory wing]

ok

[strange dirge]

I just wish to know if this is the best solution to do this, or if there's something at fault. Everything works, but I want a Client & Server Sync which is re-usable for multiple cooldowns of abilities/gun shootings etc.

There's no "best practice" out there it seems. People suggest os.time() , others tick(), others GetServerTimeNow()

[rotund cedar]

this module doesnt really have any module-ness in it though. Like you should put more into the module if you actually want it to have a reason to be in a module

[strange dirge]

I'm not sure how to choose

[ivory wing]

the only problem i did is that i added local script = script.parent

[buoyant ice]

i said case sensitive

[ivory wing]

ok

[buoyant ice]

its not findfirstchild it is :FindFirstChild

[strange dirge]

Hmm, I just made this because I am going to have an ability list with cooldown values I'm going to use. This is just an example, or is that not what u mean?

[rotund cedar]

no like wait

Im currently talking to somebody else so I couldnt give full attention

Im here now tho

[strange dirge]

No rush.

[buoyant ice]

if u want something simple that u expand on later u can use attributes for cooldowns

[ivory dove]

Why do you need cooldowns for both server and client?

[rotund cedar]

why not

[buoyant ice]

--Server
player:SetAttribute("Cooldown", 3)

--Client

player:GetAttributeChangedSignal("Cooldown"):Connect(function()
   for i = player:GetAttribute("Cooldown"), 0, -1 do
       print(`Cooldown: {i}`)
       task.wait(1)
   end
end)

[strange dirge]

How would I go about that? And how would that be better than having something like this:

local RailgunShot = AbilityTemplate.new({
    Name = "Railgun Shot",
    Description = "Fires a powerful railgun shot.",
    BaseCooldown = 5, -- 5-second cooldown
    Animation = "RailgunShotAnim"
})

[buoyant ice]

i mean u can expand on it

but that's just as simple as it gets.

[strange dirge]

I kinda feel like task.wait is a bad method to use in general

idk why

[buoyant ice]

?

what in the world are u talking about

[rotund cedar]

1- u dont do unneccessary communication between server and client
2- If an exploiter bypasses the local script cooldowns the server wont register what the exploiter does because of the serverside cooldown

[strange dirge]

Like, why would it be better than something like this:

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
    if gameProcessed then return end 

    local abilityName = keyAbilityMap[input.KeyCode]
    if abilityName then
    
        CooldownEvent:FireServer("UseAbility", abilityName)
    end
end)

CooldownEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(action, skillName, startTime, duration)
    if action == "AbilityUsed" then
        print(`Successfully used {skillName}! Cooldown started.`)
    elseif action == "OnCooldown" then
        print(`{skillName} is on cooldown. Please wait.`)
    elseif action == CooldownModule.Actions.StartCooldown then
        print(`Cooldown started for {skillName} (Duration: {duration}s)`)
    end
end)

[hasty mesa]

because it has diffrent use cases

and theres multiple ways to make something

[rotund cedar]

ok I sense a problem with this. the abilityName thing surely needs to get verified in the server to ensure the player can use the ability

just a side note

[buoyant ice]

ditch the tutorial and wing it

[rotund cedar]

like you dont want a level 1 player be able to use 99 level abilities

[ivory dove]

Ngl, I don't care enough about exploiters lol.

I probably should

[rotund cedar]

no but still, u don't do unnessecary remote event or function communication

[strange dirge]

I mean I believe in re-usable code that you just know is well done/thought out.

[rotund cedar]

just put cooldowns both in server and local side imo

[strange dirge]

The abilities won't have a level difference

But you mean like, people shouldnt be able to use abilities they don't have "equipped" right?

[rotund cedar]

unless a player is able to use every ability in any moment

it should be sanity checked

[strange dirge]

Which is pretty much the same thing as syncing then, no?

[rotund cedar]

I guess. I always call it sanity check

server should verify it I mean

like if the player has it equipped and stuff

[silver panther]

can someone help me to make stand script

[strange dirge]

Yeah, right. I have something like that implemented, this is just a test script on a different roblox studio thing for now

Hmm

[rotund cedar]

can we not put the whole cooldown system for skills in the cooldown module

when the fireserver is sent to the server

it will connect to the module

and the module will have the function to put it on a cooldown

[silver panther]

anyone here good at scripting

[strange dirge]

Well, this is kinda my question I know we CAN do anything. My issue comes with I'm trying to learn from someone experienced that can tell me about what's the best way of doing things.

I can still name a few things wrong with my code, but I don't know if it's something worth worrying about

Like, things like rate limiting

If someone has some kind of exploit script and just spams the ability button, what will happen?

or am I worrying over nothing now

[silver panther]

anyone here good at scripting
i need help anyone

[strange dirge]

Just ask your question

[rotund cedar]

if you have cooldowns both in local and serverscript then a normal player wont be able to spam skills

an exploiter however will be able to remove the cooldown in the local script BUT because we have cooldown in the server here is what will happen:

[strange dirge]

Yes, but here comes my part. Everything client wise can be modified,including the cooldown on the client

This is why u want to sync it

and not have a two-way check

[rotund cedar]

Ik just wait

its not a two way check look listen

[silver panther]

.-.

i need help

[rotund cedar]

When you throw a skill

a cooldown on local will start

also

when the server gets the request to throw the skill and eventually passes it as sent

a cooldown will start on the server too

now an exploiter will remove the local cooldown

[ivory dove]

For a stand script?

[rotund cedar]

and in his screen he will be able to throw limitless amounts of skills

but when you look at things serverside

[silver panther]

booths stand to claim and edit

[rotund cedar]

none of them will be registered during the cooldown

so other players wont be affected

[ivory dove]

Oh I definitely can't make that off the top of my head.

[strange dirge]

Isn't that exactly what syncing is?

I don't get what you're explaining to me

[rotund cedar]

ok then like there is no problem

[strange dirge]

Like what is different from my code now, that you are trying to explain to me

[rotund cedar]

like just sync it and everything is fine I dont see the issue

[rotund cedar]

oh sorry

its 3 am so

Im kinda stupid

[strange dirge]

AHaha, No worries man

Appreciate the help

[rotund cedar]

I mean I dont rlly see any delay in the scripts u sent

[strange dirge]

wdym delay?

[rotund cedar]

like the whole cooldown

[strange dirge]

Hmm, I think I am digging too deep

[rotund cedar]

yeah like it cant be that complex

just put task.wait(cooldown) and ur good to go no?

[nimble canopy]

I'm making a shark using PathfindingService & Humanoid:MoveTo() but it's moving way too slow in water, any ideas? Changing walkspeed doesn't help, I tried changing CustomPhysicalProperties but that didn't change anything either

[strange dirge]

Like, I am genuinely asking about what's the most efficient way to handle my situation and more foolproof

But I doubt people here have this knowledge

[rotund cedar]

I mean how more foolproof can it be than syncing

also

if it can be more foolproof

does it need to be?

[strange dirge]

I don't like inefficient faulty code

[rotund cedar]

are u sure enough that the game will do that well that the best exploiters will mess up your game? like a normal exploiter wont get past sync

[strange dirge]

But if I don't have the resources I can't really do anything tbh

[rotund cedar]

oh I see

[strange dirge]

There's not a single tutorial on how to do things properly on the internet

Maybe somewhere it's hidden in an tutorial

[strange dirge]

But yeah, I will change my mindset. If that time comes, I could refactor the code.

[rotund cedar]

yeah probably

can anyone help plz its a feedback to discord webhook

does all the code of a plugin have to be inside the main script? i have scripts inside it's ui, but when i publish it it just doesnt work

[wide sphinx]

that just means you're sending too many requests in a short amount of time

or it could just mean roblox servers are being ratelimited if shared ips are used

wait a bit and see

[pulsar frost]

Guess what

[raven marsh]

can anyone help me with anims they play for me but not for other people

[gloomy kraken]

are your animations playing on a localscript?

[raven marsh]

i think

[gloomy kraken]

yeah thats why

[raven marsh]

ty

[feral bloom]

@raven marsh if the animations are in a script in like ServerScriptService then it will run throughout the entire server and everyone can see it but if it runs in a local script then only you as the player would be able to see it on your screen since the player is considered as a client and for local scripts it would only take the client side (or your player/ your screen)

Normal Scripts run on the server and Local Scripts run on the Clients

Unless ofc there is any communication between the two so like one way communication or two way

One way communication is when the server sends a message to all clients or a client or it can be the other way around and two way is when the client sends a message to the server and the server responds back to the client I believe is how it works

Also two way communication might be better to use then just one way but it can go either way

I’m still kinda learning this process but I believe I understand it quite well

[signal pewter]

does anyone know how I could script the hammer to go flying when this animation happens and deal damage to players?

[spare nacelle]

Just delete the weld and add a body velocity with raycasting it's not that hard and make the raycast do dmg

[bleak glade]

wheel backward?

[spare nacelle]

That's bc you need to make them public

[bleak glade]

didn’t know that was a function ngl

[spare nacelle]

Configure them, don't ask me how I don't know too lol...

[wraith spear]

mouse wheel backward

[tawdry terrace]

how would I make make a part that always positioned infront of the players root part even when player is moving

[spare nacelle]

Weld it

Using weld constraints

@tawdry terrace

[tawdry terrace]

thx

[spare nacelle]

Np

I think that you can also use pathfinding but that's a bit more complex

Stick to welds for now

[crude quarry]

I logged back in after a couple months of not touching this code and im getting an error on datastoreserivce? Was there some change?

[silver verge]

you have no variable named "DataStoreService"

😭

[split timber]

any1 knows why cframe.new bugs when a part is supossed to look at the sky center?

[crude quarry]

weird they changed all my code

[silver verge]

nobody changed your code g

[crude quarry]

it all worked a couple months ago now im getting errors up my A

I think I resolved it now but damn

[silver verge]

perhaps a find all replace all

[crude quarry]

nah the issue was it was waitforchild waiting for the cash folder but there was no cash folder because the datastorge script was broken

[silver verge]

yeah because the variable is local datastore but you tried to use it as DataStoreService

[crude quarry]

yeah idk it was a script I pulled from the developer documents which worked fine at the time

[silver verge]

it would never work in that state so idk what you've been doing

[spare nacelle]

Yo michael

[crude quarry]

idk how then because it did work

[silver verge]

?

[silver verge]

it literally cannot work 😭

:GetDataStore() would always fail

[spare nacelle]

Dm's rq

[silver verge]

js say it here

[crude quarry]

I dont have proof it did work other then a video of it adding value

[spare nacelle]

I'm in the middle of a flight so I might not be able to talk in a bit

[crude quarry]

but istg

[silver verge]

yo what part of it can never work doesn't make sense

youre trying to use a variable that references nothing

therefore the get datastore method would always fail

since youre indexing nil

somehow you changed datastoreservice to datastore

[spare nacelle]

What's the best way to learn pathfinding

[silver verge]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/en-us/characters/pathfinding

reading this

[spare nacelle]

Thx so much bro like

[crude quarry]

well anyways I fixed the error so now I gotta learn how to make a door transparent onyl for the user who clicked it

[silver verge]

by doing it on the client

[crude quarry]

yeah I know what that means

[silver verge]

Ok then you're in good shape

[crude quarry]

well actually I do but im not smart enough to code it

[silver verge]

listen for clicks on the client, set the transparency on the client

[crude quarry]

thats a whole lotta words I don't know, im just gonna try a remote event

[silver verge]

remote event adds unnecessary latency

learn the difference between the client and server

[crude quarry]

sucks for the players then

[silver verge]

it would be easier to script to just do it all on the client 😭

[crude quarry]

I dont wanna learn all that

[silver verge]

youre not learning anything youre literally just doing it in a local script

[wheat garden]

Does anyone know why, when I create a ProximityPrompt, it only works the first time I trigger it? The ProximityPrompt appears but doesn't work anymore

[silver verge]

youre doing the same thing everytime its triggered

are you saying youre getting your walkspeed back to 16 again, and then triggering it and nothing happens?

[wheat garden]

I have placed in another script that when pressing a button, the speed returns to normal and the ScreenGui gets disabled, but it only works the first time and not the second

the another scrit is a textbutton and always works

[silver verge]

put a print at the top of triggered and see if it prints multiple times

[wheat garden]

but the proximitypromt only one

[wheat garden]

but the walkspeed still in 16 and the screengui still in false

[silver verge]

is the textbutton a local script

[wheat garden]

yes

[silver verge]

and the prompt is a server script

[wheat garden]

yes

[silver verge]

that would be my only guess as to why

put the triggered connection on the client and only set the walkspeed and ui if its the local player who triggered it

[wheat garden]

how i can connect the triggered to the client

[crude quarry]

This is the most disorganized code its hard to read

[silver verge]

same way you connect it on the server except you cant parent the local script to the prompt

[wheat garden]

ok

thx

[carmine siren]

Yo i made a secret for my game to use my api key, the secret works in game but in studio it errors could not find secret with given key why does this happen?

[carmine siren]

idk it look ok

Yes

[carmine siren]

supposed to be like that?

[spiral jungle]

I don’t know

[agile fulcrum]

[indigo pine]

can anyone can help me scripting :<

[worldly bolt]

No

[crude quarry]

Trying to figure out remote events, is there something i'm doing wrong

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChildOfClass("RemoteEvent")
    
local function onTouched()
remoteEvent:FireServer(Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0), Vector3.new(0, 25, -20))
print("worked")
end

remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(onTouched)```

[silver verge]

you cant fire to the server and also listen for a client event

remote events require two scripts, the server and the client

[crude quarry]

[hard mulch]

Anyone got some small 500 rbx commission?

[indigo pine]

why

[hard mulch]

Why do you think....

[fossil schooner]

comments make it feel like a llm

which it probably issssssss

[crude quarry]

That was when I was still learning tween service and sending it to my friends who don't know coding that kuch

I've learned now that I don't like comments and don't use them anymore

[zealous gorge]

what does the child and parent in scripting act as?

I am a bit confused between those two

[somber vault]

Child is the inside of an instance

Parent is what the instance is inside of

Shouldn’t be hard to understand, you’ve probably used the explorer in your pc

[zealous gorge]

hmm...it's just that I am learning to script so I am a bit confused

[zealous gorge]

Ah yes

So like

child acts as a file inside the folder

[somber vault]

If you put an imagine inside a folder

[zealous gorge]

that means, the folder is the parent?

[somber vault]

Folder = parent, and imagine = child

[zealous gorge]

I got it clear now, thanks a lot

[somber vault]

Yes buy

It could be anything

[zealous gorge]

hmm and also in this line of code, there are two brackets present. So that means the brackets act as an separater right?

like

one is in the last end

[somber vault]

Wdym what brackets

[zealous gorge]

hold on

@somber vault

that means that two functions are present in the killbrick right?

like 2 in one?

[somber vault]

Yes kind of let me explain

[zealous gorge]

Aight, I am here

[somber vault]

Kill brick is the kill brick and its a part

All parts got an event listener called Touched

With events you can multiple stuff but in this case you have used the :connect method/function

So every time the event fires (part gets touched) the function in the “()” will run

[zealous gorge]

Aight so that means when it's touched the code inside the second bracket will run?

[somber vault]

You can also place the function above by just copying it and giving it a name

[somber vault]

Yes

[zealous gorge]

Hmm giving it a name like using comments to name it or an actual name?

[somber vault]

An actual name, function funcName() end

Then you put the function name in the connect

[zealous gorge]

I am a bit confused but let me try to make out, so the function funcName serves as a function naming? Like giving it a name

[rotund cedar]

is runservice heartbeat heavy on the performance?

[somber vault]

Yes

Its the name of the function

Thats all

[zealous gorge]

Aight then, got it. Thanks

[hasty mesa]

it depends on what is running in it

[rotund cedar]

lets say I want to spawn coins in a certain area. I want these coins to reset every designated duration. What is the best way to do it? I already made the designated area spawns and what not but cant decide on how I should loop it

[zinc rapids]

hey there! what triggers the script injection permission on plugins? i just published one and when downloading it says my plugin injects scripts, even though it doesnt

[hasty mesa]

task.wait/delay

[fading onyx]

why is my beams like kind of disconnecting from their attachments whenever i transfer them from the rps to the character? they would only reappear when i manually set the beams attachements again

[rotund cedar]

yeah but I need it to loop throughout the game. The coins should always be in circulation

[hasty mesa]

well then just use hb

not gonna be expensive to loop over coins

[rotund cedar]

hb?

[hasty mesa]

hearbeat

[rotund cedar]

yh

Im thinking like if I should do it so that

it only spawns when a player is nearby

[hasty mesa]

its fine to do that

[rotund cedar]

but like a player could exploit it by entering and leaving the range

[hasty mesa]

wdym

[rotund cedar]

lets say the coins wont generate unless a player is in 100 stud distance

[hasty mesa]

yeah

[rotund cedar]

would doing this improve performance first of all

[hasty mesa]

yeah

a bit

[rotund cedar]

yeah this is basically render distance right

like almost render distance

[hasty mesa]

yeah

[rotund cedar]

anyways so a player could like get in the range collect coins and leave the range before coin delay ends

then enter range again to spawn them again

[hasty mesa]

debounce

[rotund cedar]

yeah so wouldnt debounce cause calculation in the background constantly

reducing performance further or nah

[hasty mesa]

compared to the cost needed to modify a coin/render them no

[rotund cedar]

if it constantly spawns right

[hasty mesa]

and you can also just use task.wait to check every x interval instead

[rotund cedar]

this coin placement is happening on the serverscript

[hasty mesa]

yeah you can still use task.wait

[rotund cedar]

so what if a player gets out of the range and then gets in and repeats this constantly spawning and despawning coins for everyone

[rotund cedar]

no no I added it as a side note for my second problem

[hasty mesa]

nothing much

performance won't really drop that much

[rotund cedar]

ok so I should make it distance based spawning

[hasty mesa]

go for it

[rotund cedar]

I should still use heartbeat?

or like while player in range do

or smtn like that

[hasty mesa]

you still going to have a loop that runs at an interval

so heartbeat will work

[rotund cedar]

oh alr i guess

let me try

[sacred prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/peaky-blinders-gif-26202860

[rotund cedar]

code we made together didnt work yesterday but I got it to work rn

[sacred prairie]

u have a lot to do

[rotund cedar]

so when I spawn and object and move it it first spawns at 0,0,0 for a moment

it is normal right

games just hide that area i suppose

[sacred prairie]

when u spawn an object ?

is that what u meant?

[rotund cedar]

yh

[sacred prairie]

wdym by it is normal

are u talking about the position

[rotund cedar]

no like watch the video

the object spawns in at 0,0,0 then it is placed

is this a mistake made by me or this is how it is supposed to work

[sacred prairie]

im going over the docs rn

[sacred prairie]

listen attentively

When you create a new object in Roblox Luau using Instance.new(), its initial position is (0,0,0) relative to its parent. If you set the parent (e.g., to the workspace) before setting the position, the object will first appear at (0,0,0) in the game world.

[rotund cedar]

yeah

[sacred prairie]

and yes this behavior is normal

if you're setting its the parent before the position

[rotund cedar]

so the other games just make it so that the player doesnt see the 0,0,0 area

[sacred prairie]

idk what the other games do lol

[rotund cedar]

yeah because I first create a transparent zone

that zone checks for a position

if it is empty it proceeds with the part creation

[sacred prairie]

In this case, the part's position is set to (5,5,5) in its own coordinate system before being added to the workspace

[rotund cedar]

then the zone destroys itself

[sacred prairie]

ok

[rotund cedar]

local zones = Instance.new("Part")
    for props, value in pairs(zoneProps) do
        zones[props] = value
    end

    local params = OverlapParams.new()
    params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {part, game.Workspace.Baseplate, spawnArea}


    local emptyZone = workspace:GetPartsInPart(zones, params)


    if #emptyZone > 0 then
        
        zones:Destroy()
        return false
    end

    task.wait(1)
    zones:Destroy()
```I made the task.wait 1 so it is easy to visualize it

[sacred prairie]

so what is the issue here?

[rotund cedar]

there is no issue yet I just wanted to learn about the whole spawning in 0,0,0 thing

[sacred prairie]

Congratulations, you've learnt it.

[rotund cedar]

also should I just remove the task wait or keep it as 0,01

[tranquil tundra]

does anyone here know how i put the old 2006 animations on a startercharacter rig im so lost

[sacred prairie]

idk

do what you want to do

[tranquil tundra]

what typa advice is that

THAT is what i wanna do

[sacred prairie]

wasnt talking to you

[tranquil tundra]

💀

[young rock]

What should i do if i dont want players to be able to use some of the functions in a module? For example what if i dont want hackers to save data using the module.Save() function?

Like what is the most efficient way to do this, remote functions?

[gloomy kraken]

hackers cant do anything on the server side, so your data saving should be fine, they can only modify their own client

also no hackers can spoof remote functions and send false signals to the server

[shy rune]

any idea for a scripting project for portofolio?

[young rock]

Okay thanks. And do you know where should i put the module?

ServerStorage, ReplicatedStorage etc.

[somber vault]

They cant touch any modules that is not used by client

Store them in server storage / script service and you are good to go

They can see the modules in Replicated Storage

[gloomy kraken]

if its server side then serverscriptservice or serverstorage

[young rock]

@somber vault but what if i wanna read data from client-side? Would there be a problem if i put the module in replicatedstorage?

[twilit parcel]

Hello everyone, question pls. Sometime my code doesnt work when the game loaded and sometime it does if i add a task.wait(...) before everything. I think it has something to do with the order of how scripts are loaded but dont know how to fix this. Any suggestion?

[gloomy kraken]

did someone ghost ping me

[young rock]

i did sorry

[gloomy kraken]

alg

[late nexus]

@twilit parcel Does the script just start or does it function through an event?

[shy bronze]

use wait for child

[young rock]

i thought you saw the message it was just "@ nulatic alr thanks"

[twilit parcel]

it just starts

[late nexus]

Without any wait before or anything else?

[gloomy kraken]

oh lol

[twilit parcel]

this for example

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraType = "Scriptable"

[late nexus]

Is it a serverscript or a local script?

[twilit parcel]

it is a local script

[late nexus]

Ah I think I know the problem

It often happens that many thingss didn't load in local scripts

You need to use

game.Workspace:WaitForChild()

[twilit parcel]

i ran to this problem while making my game during the game jam too but didnt konw how to fix it so i just ended up forcing the script to turn on and off for it to work lol

[late nexus]

Ye cause many things didnt load in the client

In local scripts use WaitForChild()

[rotund cedar]

how to optimise your game better

[late nexus]

Do you mean recuding lag?

[rotund cedar]

make the performance better

[late nexus]

@twilit parcel Does it work now?

[twilit parcel]

you cant use wait for child using current camera tho right?

like for current camera i mean

[gloomy kraken]

its an instance so you can

[late nexus]

WaitForChild should be always used in a local script when the game didn't load 100% yet.

[somber vault]

If you require the modulescript from client side or put it in replicatedstorage, Exploiters can access it since client can reach it now

If they change the values in the module, it will only replicate to the client itself

so it will replicate to the exploiter only, not other players as long as Im aware

[late nexus]

wait a second rq

[young rock]

yeah right, and should i make two separate folders, one in ss and one is rs?

[somber vault]

Depends on what you are using the module for

If you are storing value data such as coins, player stats etc, that should be in server

[young rock]

so like the datastore modules goes to ss and the tempdata goes to rs

[late nexus]

@twilit parcel

I did this now:

[young rock]

but i couldnt read the data from the client, could i?

[somber vault]

You can with remote events

[late nexus]

@twilit parcel I tried it myself and it worked perfectly fine

[somber vault]

You would need to secure your remotes tho

[late nexus]

Gtg now bye guys!

[gloomy kraken]

hackers when event:FireServer(playerCoinCount):

[young rock]

okay but why shouldnt i just put the module inside rs then?

[twilit parcel]

huh thats weird

[twilit parcel]

oh alr, cya!

[late nexus]

cya!

[gloomy kraken]

bye!

[young rock]

if they try to change the data, only they would be effected and not the server

if they want to read the data, they can since the module is replicated to the client

[gloomy kraken]

did bro just answer his own question 😭

[late nexus]

@twilit parcel I dont know much about the instance "Camera" but if CurrentCamera doesnt work try WaitForChild("Camera") it worked for me too

Bye!

[young rock]

am i right? 😭

[somber vault]

Yes

However if you store, lets say coins in replicatedstorage in a module

they can just make their coins 99999 and get every item by manipulating

[twilit parcel]

i mean ye but current camera isnt an instance inside the workspace tho

[gloomy kraken]

yeah, client can use scripts and read stuff off replicatedstorage but cant change anything

[young rock]

but i check the coin value from the server

[gloomy kraken]

even if they do set their coin count to 999999, it will only be for their client.

on everyone else's laptop their count will still be 0

[somber vault]

Still wont prevent them from getting the most expensive item in the game by manipulating the data

[gloomy kraken]

hmm idk about that since they're only modifying information on their client

[somber vault]

You are asking the client to buy items

You should be asking the server instead

[gloomy kraken]

oh i thought it was server side lol

[somber vault]

No, modulescript in replicatedstorage

[fickle garden]

what is the easiest way to make a parry system

[young rock]

Set the block value to the tick when they press the block button

prolly

[somber vault]

You would need a check for EVERY DATA you got

that is not practical

[gloomy kraken]

attributes to detect if the person is parrying

[somber vault]

You wouldnt want to check if player got more than 999999 coins for every data value

[gloomy kraken]

if so during an attack then idk like play parry effect

[fickle garden]

ok thx

[civic garnet]

remote function

[young rock]

when the player is buying something, i just do the "if Coins >= ItemCost then" from the server

[somber vault]

mb

anyway I would recommend:
Important data such as Ingame currency, player stats etc. goes to server modulescript
Visual data goes to rs modulescript

[half mango]

hey guys im working on a game who wants to be a mod for free (you can moderate when you want)

[fossil salmon]

make a folder under the player and add number/string values there

they auto replicate, when the player leaves you read them and overwrite the data

[young rock]

is using modules a bad idea?

@fossil salmon

[graceful summit]

What

Who told you that

[young rock]

no no

[young rock]

i meant for this

[graceful summit]

Generally speaking when dealing with stores, it would be better if they're using serverscriptservice while the things that will be bought by the player are in replicated

[silver panther]

I need help

[graceful summit]

If you want an easier life just go for a simple server script

[graceful summit]

What is it

[silver panther]

How to make make script to claim booths

[graceful summit]

Im not sure but im pretty sure you will have to apply some sort of something inside the booth model that only allows the said player that claimed the booth

like a value or a key

then if someone else try to claim the booth it will check if its already claimed then it can be nulled

[white dock]

Whats difference between D1 Retention and D1 Stickiness?

[graceful summit]

I think retention only tracks new players while stickiness tracks all the players that played your game

Like how long they played your game

[silver panther]

I did that but the claim thing doesn't work

[white dock]

aha interesting

[graceful summit]

What kind of game did you made btw?

[white dock]

its tycoon game
Those are the stats we have with testers , we didnt release the game yet

[graceful summit]

Just check a free model booth if possible then study how it works, that's usually what i do when encountering stuff i don't know.

[fossil salmon]

no its fine, but the way i told you is easier

[ivory wing]

why doesnt this work local baseplate = game.Workspace.Baseplate baseplate.Transparency = 0.3 baseplate.Material = "Limestone" baseplate.BrickColor = "Navy blue" baseplate.Size = 0.1

[graceful cargo]

output ?

[ivory wing]

brick color is the only one that is not working

[spiral jungle]

because thats not how data types work

BrickColor.new()

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/datatypes/BrickColor

BrickColor.new("Navy blue")

get sigma

[umbral carbon]

Very sigma after this

[umbral carbon]

I can't really hear what you're saying

[ivory wing]

he said what the sigma

[sacred prairie]

I dislike brick color

[fluid vale]

Brick color is amazing 🎃 🤖 👽

[daring solar]

hey guys, what would happen if i set a transparent gui to be the teleport gui?

would it fully show the game loading?

and what about the part where the 3d things arent loading but the backend stuff is?

[spiral jungle]

i think it just makes it opaque

[daring solar]

uhh

whats that?

[spiral jungle]

not transparent

like a rock

a rock is opaque

[daring solar]

wait lemme make a game real quick

[spiral jungle]

either that or it slaps a grey background on it

[daring solar]

gray background

[spiral jungle]

or it might just show the skybox

who knows

[lunar musk]

guys

[daring solar]

what

[spiral jungle]

it just makes it opaque

[daring solar]

well no

cause the ui is not full size

[lunar musk]

are u a roblox scripter

[spiral jungle]

it adds a black background

[daring solar]

or i just dont understand what opaque means

[lunar musk]

i am hiring

[spiral jungle]

no he isnt

[daring solar]

yes?

[spiral jungle]

its the opposite of transparent

[lunar musk]

can u do combat systems

[spiral jungle]

no he cant

[daring solar]

^^

[lunar musk]

can you?

[spiral jungle]

no i dont even play roblox

whats roblox

[lunar musk]

LOL

[lunar musk]

Yo

[daring solar]

what

[lunar musk]

broo

can u

[spiral jungle]

no

[lunar musk]

combat system?

[daring solar]

i just blocked him lol

[spiral jungle]

nuclear option

[daring solar]

yea lol

[lunar musk]

dm

[tight siren]

hey idk who to post on scripter hiring so if someone can mp me ? pls

[daring solar]

hiring or hireable?

[tight siren]

hiring somoene

im bad at scripting

[daring solar]

u just /post

[umbral geode]

guys, why is it when I turn the camera away from an axis, it wont tilt forward correctly?

[tight siren]

ok thx

[lunar musk]

is there any roblox scripter who can make a combat system

[lunar musk]

can u dm

[tight siren]

?

im hiring someone

[lunar musk]

yeah i can help

@daring solar bro can u dm pls

[ocean mesa]

It might be because of toOrientation, does it account for transformation when used like this???

Maybe try using lookvectors like this

local rightVector = camera.CFrame.RightVector -- Right direction of the camera
local forwardVector = camera.CFrame.LookVector -- Forward direction of the camera

local tiltDirection = forwardVector * -seat.Throttle + rightVector * seat.Steer
xAngle = math.clamp(tiltDirection.Y * AngleIncrement * dt, -maxAngle, maxAngle)
zAngle = math.clamp(tiltDirection.X * AngleIncrement * dt, -maxAngle, maxAngle)

[foggy siren]

how do i change the color of the Cayman theme for Jekyll on GitHub Pages?
Heres the code i use:

-
-
@import "{{ site.theme }}";

body {
  background-color: #1D1D1D;
}

.page-header {
  backgorund-color: #171717;
  background-image: none;
}

[ivory wing]

what did i do wrong?

local mypart = game.Workspace.Part
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
if Hit.Parent then
mypart.transparency = 0
end
end)

[foggy siren]

#?

specify, please

[latent fox]

Hit

[ivory wing]

what should i change?

[copper vigil]

Why does it still print template can be destroyed if I am trying to make it so it doesn't get the template? I know this is probably really simple but my head cant wrap around it

[foggy siren]

hit.Parent:FindFirstChild()

if im correct

[latent fox]

The numbers

[ivory wing]

i actually thought of that! sorry its my first day scripting:)

[latent fox]

You can just search it up and identify what color

[foggy siren]

what about it

[foggy siren]

?!?! thats not the problem

[latent fox]

What is

[foggy siren]

okay ill explain

i need to change the colors of my site to a dark theme

but its not working

[ocean mesa]

Idk what your template is but if it's an imagelabel the logical expression always evaluates to true because of the use of or

[ivory wing]

local mypart = game.Workspace.Part
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(mypart) then
mypart.transparency = 0
end
end)

[latent fox]

backgorund

[umbral geode]

no doesn't rly work still got the same problem

[ivory wing]

why doesnt this work?

[foggy siren]

already fixed it a while ago, didnt work for me

[ocean mesa]

Ah sorry idk then
