[native orchid]

Sure but sometimes you just have to do it yourself

[near vigil]

can't argue with that

[native orchid]

You learn quicker when it hurts

How many times have you touched fire?

[summer vortex]

someone helpppp plis

[near vigil]

0, because i think that's common sense

[native orchid]

Bullshit

[near vigil]

plus the heat emanating from fire hurts badly enough

[native orchid]

What was “the whole thing”

I’ll make it right now without OOP just to make fun of you

So what, you want to index into a table

but instead of a table it is a cluster of tables?

[summer vortex]

`local sg = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local gui = sg.ScreenGui

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Parent = player
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

local coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
coins.Value = 1
coins.Name = "Coins"
coins.Parent = leaderstats

sg.ScreenGui.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    coins.value = coins.Value +1
end)

end)`

some1 help please i want it to give 1 coin every time i click

[native orchid]

What about collisions?

[summer vortex]

nooo

startergui

`local sg = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local gui = sg.ScreenGui
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Parent = player
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

local coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
coins.Value = 1
coins.Name = "Coins"
coins.Parent = leaderstats

sg.ScreenGui.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    player.leaderstats.Coins.Value += 1
end)

end)`

it aint working tho

[cosmic gorge]

whats the damn problemmmm noobe.OnServerInvoke = function(player)
local lead = player.leaderstats
local coins = lead.coin
local buyed = false
if coin.Value >= 10 then
coin.Value -= 10
buyed = true
return buyed
end

it says you forget to close funcion or something

[summer vortex]

help chat

[cosmic gorge]

u should do coin.Value = coin.Value + 1

[cosmic gorge]

u are whatching devbrawl like me LoL

[summer vortex]

Ye hahahaha

im using dehappys document

its so good

this is the script in the button

`local ScreenGui = script.Parent

local button = script.Parent
local function onClick()-- Change button appearance
button.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 115, 255)
button.Text = "Clicked!"
task.wait(1)-- Reset appearance
button.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 179, 255)
button.Text = "Click Me!"
end

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onClick)

game.Players.LocalPlayer.ScreenGui.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function ()
game.Players.leaderstats.Coins.Value += 1
end)`

but its still not working bro

yea

[bleak glade]

how do i add mobiel support i forgor

[native orchid]

What was this connected dictionary thing even for

the more I think about this the more I don't like it, seems like a very bad idea

A hierarchy of what?

[summer vortex]

`local ScreenGui = script.Parent

local button = script.Parent
local function onClick()-- Change button appearance
button.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 115, 255)
button.Text = "Clicked!"
task.wait(1)-- Reset appearance
button.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 179, 255)
button.Text = "Click Me!"
end

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onClick)

game.Players.LocalPlayer.ScreenGui.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Coins.Value += 1
end)`

still aint working tho

[native orchid]

So why did you need to conjoin dictionaries

[supple burrow]

i don't think a client would ever pay more because someone uses an external editor

[native orchid]

No but if you clusterfuck everything hard enough then they'll need someone like you to come fix it

someone else who also uses dumb, fiddly, bloated tools

[supple burrow]

what?

[native orchid]

everyone wins, everyone loses

[carmine yacht]

this sucks ass

[supple burrow]

what could rojo possibly clusterfuck? It's a convenience thing

[carmine yacht]

i have uesd rojo a few times, the actual benefit is not rojo

its Git

i dont like VSC anyways

has always felt clunky to me

[supple burrow]

You can use any editor you want

[carmine yacht]

another major issue is autofill

luau lsp does not help with that at all

using an external ide slows you down

i wish there was a way to use git with roblox without rojo

[native orchid]

local commands = {
    ["Teleport"] = {
        ["MinimumRank"] = 1,
        
        ["Code"] = function(...)
            -- do stuff
        end,
    },
    
    ["KillEveryone"] = {
        ["MinimumRank"] = 3,

        ["Code"] = function(...)
            -- do stuff
        end,
    },
    
    ["DeleteTheGame"] = {
        ["MinimumRank"] = 9,

        ["Code"] = function(...)
            -- do stuff
        end
    }
}

local function ExecuteCommand(player, rank, commandName, parameters)
    local command = commands[commandName]
    
    if not command or not player or not rank then
        return
    end
    
    if rank < command["MinimumRank"] then
        return
    end
    
    command["Code"](parameters)
end

You're just weird and dumb

OOP is brainrot

[carmine yacht]

oop is fine

there are superior structures

[native orchid]

OOP is stupid and makes you think about nearly everything in the wrong way

[carmine yacht]

but its fine because its used industry wide

[carmine yacht]

thats a fair argument

but again

industry standard and is forced by some languages

🤷‍♂️

[native orchid]

You're probably too young to remember how fast programs used to run 25 years ago

it isn't fine

[carmine yacht]

of course they ran faster

[somber vault]

I use it bc vscode is also good for Godot projects. Transferable ide.

[carmine yacht]

simpler programs

less bloatware

[native orchid]

We have fucking supercomputers now

[carmine yacht]

lower level languages

[native orchid]

We all do

[carmine yacht]

yeah but that isnt helped by OS bloatware

[native orchid]

All software is bloatware now

[carmine yacht]

and OOP is indeed slower because of the memory mapping

[native orchid]

OOP brainrot has erased 30 years of hardware advancement

[carmine yacht]

its forced by one of the biggest languages in the world

[somber vault]

I mean there are good resources out there like maid and goodsignal. I recommend those

[carmine yacht]

so im sorry that i can't soothe you but nothings gonna change until somebody with a brain and a high title releases research on the matter

[native orchid]

I don't want to sound mean or anything, but your implementation sounds extremely stupid and bloated for no reason

[carmine yacht]

it will happen eventually with the adapatation of new languages

[subtle lodge]

GUYS WHAT SHOULD a beginner script

[native orchid]

Uh huh, using OOP?

[somber vault]

Lines ~= speed

[native orchid]

You're just making shit up now

[supple burrow]

Length of code isnt really a marker of quality

[somber vault]

^

[carmine yacht]

depends

well

quality not really no

its more about what you wrote in those lines that matters

[somber vault]

OK so you agree...?

[native orchid]

Look I made my function WAY BETTER

local function ExecuteCommand(player, rank, commandName, parameters)
    local command = commands[commandName]
    if not command or not player or not rank then return end
    if rank < command["MinimumRank"] then return end
    command["Code"](parameters)
end

[carmine yacht]

in most cases yes

[native orchid]

It is shorter now and thus infinitely better

Isn't is faster, easier to read?

[carmine yacht]

why did you remove the spaces

[native orchid]

To reduce the linecount, that was slowing the program down

[carmine yacht]

what did you mean

[somber vault]

I mean all you really need is a few tables and admin cmds are done.

[carmine yacht]

this is funny af because roblox isnt a compiled language

doesnt use*

lmao

nesting

you dont need to nest that

he did it much better with the return conditions

so why did you nest that

[thick sail]

Gonna kms idc 🔥

[carmine yacht]

ok

[native orchid]

local commands = {["Teleport"] = {["MinimumRank"] = 1,["Code"] = function(...) end},["KillEveryone"] = {["MinimumRank"] = 3,["Code"] = function(...)end,},["DeleteTheGame"] = {["MinimumRank"] = 9,["Code"] = function(...)end}}
local function ExecuteCommand(player, rank, commandName, parameters)
    local command = commands[commandName]
    if not command or not player or not rank then return end
    if rank < command["MinimumRank"] then return end
    command["Code"](parameters)
end

It is now perfect, at least 12 times faster

thanks guys

[carmine yacht]

lmfao

truth

[native orchid]

wait, hold on

[supple burrow]

@native orchid I don't get why your trying to demonize OOP though. Good code is good code, no matter the paradigm.

[carmine yacht]

@cedar moon nesting is not great because it enforces low standards for other developers

because they build onto your nested statement

which makes messes

ok

[west dust]

I already said I didn’t mean the literal amount of lines but the actual stuff you did to get the needed result

[carmine yacht]

im not arguing

im stating a fact

why are you angry

you dont have to assert your dominance i respect everyone the same

[native orchid]

local cmds = {["t"] = {["m"] = 1,["c"] = function(...) end},["k"] = {["m"] = 3,["c"] = function(...)end,},["d"] = {["m"] = 9,["c"] = function(...)end}}
local function xCmd(p, r, cN, p)
    local c = cmds[cN]
    if not c or not p or not r then return end
    if r < c["m"] then return end
    c["c"](p)
end

Okay, now it is perfect

[carmine yacht]

not good enough please make it 1 line

[native orchid]

[carmine yacht]

champ out here

[olive sky]

how do you even accidentally make plane rotate instead of blades

yes

[native orchid]

local cmds = {["t"] = {["m"] = 1,["c"] = function(...) end},["k"] = {["m"] = 3,["c"] = function(...)end,},["d"] = {["m"] = 9,["c"] = function(...)end}}; local function xCmd(p, r, cN, p); local c = cmds[cN]; if not c or not p or not r then return end; if r < c["m"] then return end; c["c"](p); end;

[carmine yacht]

i mean he has a very valid point

[native orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/perfection-perfect-michael-fassbender-magneto-x-men-first-class-gif-2260686001358167676

[carmine yacht]

in luau it applies only partially

but in compiled runtimes its a major issue

and should not be enforced

[native orchid]

It is stupid and holding us back as a species

reject dumb ass stuff, become based?

[carmine yacht]

the memory mapping gets completely fucked

and the executable becomes slower and slower

these are the kind of issues that were made in games 25-30 years ago

so to repeat them now and call it normal is an issue

but its kind of an enforced standard so

[native orchid]

No, I pointed out to the noob that he doesn't HAVE TO use them

Just because all of the dudes in here and ChatGPT said that's the way to do it, he doesn't have to

I hate it when people learn by adopting rituals without understanding anything

[supple burrow]

ok lol

[native orchid]

OOP is basically a religion so there's no arguing against it

if you like it then you like it and you'll spread the cancer to others, nothing I can do about that

[supple burrow]

You're just acting like a sheep of the other herd

[native orchid]

What herd?

Who the fuck else is telling people to turn off their autocomplete and syntax highlighting

Yeah why do I do that?

Why do anything, I should just be comfortable at all times until I die

Are you sure about that?

[carmine yacht]

autocomplete 100% takes away from people who don't know what they are doing

i started out before roblox had autocomplete

way before

and i can write code without the IDE

[native orchid]

Go read the docs instead of poking blindly and letting the computer tell you what you can and cannot do

[carmine yacht]

ive had newer developers crying to me about how they cannot use intellisense

and its an issue

[native orchid]

Autocomplete was designed for OOP fools to stumble their way to a finished program without thinking about it

[supple burrow]

There's people who blindly advocate for OOP in all situations, and those who religiously hate on it. Both are uninformed idiots

[native orchid]

I learned before intellisense, before roblox even had real docs

It was painful, and it made me strong as fuck and I never forgot anything

[native orchid]

Alright centrist midwit, you're so based

How's the view from the middle of the bell curve?

When did I say that

Oh yeah I see, right there I said "i hate modules"

I don't hate modules and I do in fact use them, but I use them on purpose

Most people I see use modules out of habit without thinking about why

"some cool guy on the internet uses modules so that's how I do it"

that's as deeply as most of you guys think about your own actions

It is harmful in my opinion to get in the habit of fracturing your code into a billion little files

Javascript hellscape

I'm not saying never use modules, just don't only use modules

Yeah I guess you're right, I should just let beginners get tricked into wasting time

Bye!

[supple burrow]

I mean, he had the right idea

[somber vault]

just finished lesson 13 of scripting school lua on roblox and heres what i have

i have a long way before i can make my own battlegrounds

[thick sail]

Anyone here experienced with programming quests?

I'm writing a quest managing module, and I was wondering what approach you'd take to detect when a stat is increased

My idea was creating a bindable for each stat that has an active quest, and fire that bindable whenever the stat is updated

I'm storing player data in a table, I'm using a modified version of profile service

[sacred wagon]

I just use a stack to store quests

[near knoll]

hi

[thick sail]

How do you wire up the signals they require

[sacred wagon]

Theres really only 1 signal

[thick sail]

Isn't that a tad inefficient

I have 20+ stats, I don't want to fire a signal every time ANY of them updates

There's many facets to consider, like what if I have multiple active quests for the same stat

Bindables sound goated here idk

[sacred wagon]

You can just have a quest update loop to update the quests on your latest stats

[thick sail]

oooof

Event based code 🙏

[sacred wagon]

Its really no biggie to read a value and edit some tables a few times brah

[thick sail]

Not a fan

There's nothing wrong with my approach anyway right

[sacred wagon]

Personally i would have a dedicated player stats module which has a .StatChanged event

[thick sail]

I already have that signal

[sacred wagon]

Then u can have 1 connection for all quests and update those who use the same stat name

[thick sail]

I'd just rather not have it fire the function for every single quest

[sacred wagon]

So some of ur quest stats will be out of sync

[thick sail]

Why would that happen

I create a quest -> quest creates a bindable for that stat -> updates every time the specific bindable fires

[vale atlas]

yea im curious too

[thick sail]

Man's writing the bible of quest scripting rn

[vale atlas]

turn water into quests

[thick sail]

Died on the roblox logo for our sins

I'm so intrigued, this is nail biting action

[dapper flower]

chat who can help me with country checker on leaderboard?

[vale atlas]

LocalizationService is used to get player's country

[supple burrow]

I'd use some sort of value base to store stats

Free replication

[thick sail]

I'm using a modified profile service as I said before, storing a single player data table

With a replication architecture I set up

[vale atlas]

but why is the event system bad

[thick sail]

All that's covered

It's specifically the quests

I want the most efficient path to update quests

Did this man die at the keyboard 😭

[dapper flower]

why does it not working bruv

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local CountryService = require(ReplicatedStorage.CountryService)
local playerGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local country: CountryService.Country = CountryService:GetMyCountry()

local container: Frame = screenGui:WaitForChild("Container")

local countryFlag: ImageLabel = container:WaitForChild("CountryFlag")
local countryInfo: TextLabel = container:WaitForChild("CountryInfo")

countryFlag.Image = country.decal
countryInfo.Text = `Hi! Welcome from {country.name} {country.emoji}`

local Country = {}
Country.__index = Country

--[=[
    The code of the country e.g **US**
    
    @prop Code string

    @within Country
]=]
Country.Code = ""

--[=[

    @prop Name string

    @within Country

--[=[
    Contains the emoji of the country e.g **US = 🇺🇸**

    @prop Emoji string

    @within Country

--[=[
    Contains the flag of the emoji, it can be used for ImageLabels, Decals and ImageButtons!
    
    @prop Decal string

    @within Country
]=]
Country.Decal = ""

--[=[
    Creates a new instance of a country

    E.g
    local Portugal = Country.new()
    Portugal.name = "Portugal"
    Portugal.emoji = ":flag_pt:"


    @return Country
]=]
function Country.new(): Country
    local self = setmetatable({}, Country)

    self.name = ""
    self.emoji = ""
    self.decal = ""

    return self
end

export type Country = typeof(Country)

return Country

[sacred wagon]

Like lets say i have 2 quests which require some amount of Pollen, the main .StatChanged event handler can change the value of Pollen inside of the the quest dict, for example, consider these quests:

{
Foo = {
Pollen = {Current = 50, Target = 200}
},
Bar = {
Pollen = {Current = 10, Target = 50}
}
}

The main event handler would look like this:

StatChanged:Connect(function(name, value)
    for questName, questDict in quests do
        if not questDict[name].Target then continue end
        questDict[name].Current = value
        if questDict[name].Current >= questDict[name].Target then
            --Code to handle quest finishing
            table.clear(questDict)
            quests[questName] = nil
        end
end)

This is better than having seperate event handlers for each quest because itll update quest stats in sequence instead of randomly, think of it like a row of cars in 1 nice lane instead of multiple trying to merge into 1 before exiting

[placid coral]

The gfx person from 1 month ago

[sacred wagon]

Idk i dont really exactly understand wym either so if u could clarify more yea

[vale atlas]

i think it was more about using bindables to update stats. we could have a single bindable to update all stats. if u mean updating them together is better instead of having separate handles.

[sacred wagon]

Yea the single bindable is essentially StatChanged here

Just a script signal cuz bindable r slow as fock

[thick sail]

Thanks for taking your time with this detailed explanation. However, I still fail to see how my idea is bad in any way. I have two issues with your approach:

1. StatChanged would fire any time ANY stat updated. I have over 20 stats, this is inefficient regarding signal firing
2. Updating quests in sequence isn't a concern for me. My interest is in updating quests as quickly as possible and as efficiently as possible.

Having said this, let me state my case:

Let's say we have two active quests linked to the same stat, as you described:

{
    Foo = {
        Pollen = {Current = 50, Target = 200}
    },
    Bar = {
        Pollen = {Current = 10, Target = 50}
    }
}

Now let's consider a table of bindables which are created when an active quest exists for a specific stat (in this case Pollen). This would be the table in question:

QuestBindables = {
    ["Pollen"] = BindableEvent
}

We can now follow this update order:

--1) DATA MANAGER
--Stat is updated in data manager:
if QuestBindables[statName] then
    QuestBindables[statName]:Fire()
end

--2) QUEST MANAGER (self is quest)
QuestBindables["Pollen"].Event:Connect(function(amount: number?)
    local amount = amount else 1
    self.Progress += amount
end)

[thick sail]

My idea is creating/deleting these bindables depending on the active quests

So you won't have more than a few bindables at any given time

It's not that bad

[vale atlas]

wait so you dynamically make the bindables on the go on the server? wouldnt that be just over complicating it ?
just a thought. i'd expect that to be slower than other approaches in the same context - as he said "bindable r slow as fock" which id say they are too.
so ur adding the time of making the bindable and deleting it + using the bindable

[thick sail]

Isn't statchanged a bindable too?

[supple burrow]

I don't think you need to delete the bindable itself, just the connection

[supple burrow]

There's nothing wrong with your approach unless you've got stats that depend on each other, but since you've said sequence isn't a concern, that does not really matter.

[thick sail]

The key here is that I don't see how quests could depend on each other, that doesn't add up to me

I support quests having multiple objectives

That's different

[supple burrow]

Stats, not quests?

[sacred wagon]

Yeah but consider the case where you have quests tracking multiple stats at a time, if your game is like bss theres gonna be even more specialized stats (for example 100 pollen from white fields), so a ton ton of events are gonna be fired either way; + for loops aint that slow brah

[thick sail]

Why would stats matter

It's the quests

[sacred wagon]

Its a script signal ideally

[thick sail]

game slowly dying from 10000 fires of StatChanged per second

[thick sail]

I can use Signal then

I see why you'd use yours fair enough

I mean it definitely simplifies and generalises it

[sacred wagon]

Ideally youd limit firing to be below a certain amount per frame

[thick sail]

I was wondering what the true most efficient way would be

[sacred wagon]

Probably best way is to make each stat its own dict

Which all quests can use

[supple burrow]

How would you get an initial value before a stat updates with either of these approaches?

[sacred wagon]

This follows data oriented design

[thick sail]

Its own dict?

Wdym exactly

[sacred wagon]

PollenDict[questName].Current instead of QuestDict[questName].Pollen.Current

Idk tho ion really specializein the field of quest optimizations, alot of the methods i mentioned work fine for me :V

[thick sail]

Ah

Not every stat needs quests ofc

I'll consider that gg

is using runservice bad to animate things in server?

like, things i want everyone to see

[shrewd pier]

if i were to start learning how to script using documentation, where would be the best place to start and where should I move on from there since it has so much

[cunning pagoda]

Need a dev or a singular dev? Let me know, and I’ll connect you with the right people!

[vale atlas]

start with tutorials, move to documentation after imo

[cunning pagoda]

That’s cool, not for everyone!

[vale atlas]

and keep coming back to documentation to understand things better

[shrewd pier]

is there any up to date ones since most of them are for 2023/24

[vale atlas]

ik being outdated is bad. but most of their way of explaining is still applicable. start with brawldev tutorials. it was where i started in the beginning. and make random projects of ur own. get ahang of the roblox engine

[shrewd pier]

alright will do. thanks for the advice. after brawldevs, should i move onto documentation?

[vale atlas]

after brawl devs. move to custom projects. make things do what u want them todo. and when u get stuck > goto documentation

[shrewd pier]

alright thanks. hopefully will become a proper scripter in 2027 trust

[vale atlas]

make that end of this year. i believe in u

[thorny parcel]

nstead of a single function i think ill make 3

hope it fucking solves my issue 😭

or will it..

[vale atlas]

lol

why use runservice anyways

[thorny parcel]

idfk what to do anymore

[vale atlas]

cant u pre load the anims and play them on loop

[thorny parcel]

run service is just

better than tween

no?

[vale atlas]

id guess tweens are more optimized for animations

run service would be better for physics-based animations or continuous updates

[cunning pagoda]

If you're looking for a development team, a specific developer, or a manager, feel free to send me a dm. I'm happy to assist

[thorny parcel]

im looking for a boyfriend how about that

[thorny parcel]

wdym physics based

[cunning pagoda]

Sorry, no boyfriends here, but I can definitely help if you need a dev team, devs or even just consulting for your game

[vale atlas]

like a camera follow system or bobbing effect on an item or for dynamically changing animations

[thorny parcel]

no thanks i need a boyfriend to comfort me while i rage over a script

[cunning pagoda]

I get it, a good comforter is key. But hey, if you need someone to help with that script, I’ve got you covered!

[vale atlas]

with the run service youd have to make sure to disconnect after youve stopped using that, i dont really use that complication

[copper grotto]

can someone help me why the align is delayed ?

[thorny parcel]

you do look like an ai tbh

[thorny parcel]

i do that already

[vale atlas]

well then check the script perfomance see its low enough and go with it

[copper grotto]

i know the script looks nasty but its a very quick thing im testing

[cunning pagoda]

idk if thats a compliment but thank you.

[thorny parcel]

how do i do that

[vale atlas]

view > script performance

[vale atlas]

try changing the Responsiveness to a higher value.
if its a server script. move it to local

[copper grotto]

ill try

[thorny parcel]

i cant find anything

[vale atlas]

top toolbar > view > script performance

rename the script to something. observe it in game when u test

[thorny parcel]

wait i did some digeridoo and i cant undo it

how do i get a part's orientation

as a cframe

and not as a vector3

this aint working

[vale atlas]

local bar = CFrame.fromOrientation(
    math.rad(foo .X), 
    math.rad(foo .Y), 
    math.rad(foo .Z)
)```

oh wait

[vale atlas]

try local orentation = part.CFrame - part.Position

[thorny parcel]

hope it works

[vale atlas]

also u can make a cframe from the vector too CFrame.new([your vector3 here])

[thorny parcel]

also i didnt notice anything different

in performance

server's at 60/s

[regal hedge]

yes

[thorny parcel]

someone from here told me it was the best solution buh

[regal hedge]

theyre stupid

Dont listen to them

[thorny parcel]

oh wait nvm

[regal hedge]

just play the animation on the client and have the server tell it when to do so

[thorny parcel]

i calculate where to shoot in the server

and it depends on the position of the cannon

so yeah nvm lol

[vale atlas]

wasnt me

[thorny parcel]

ye wasnt u

thats so me

[proven jolt]

hey so quick question - I'm making a movement system and need to know what the best solution would be for implementation - obviously it's risky script it on the client side because exploiting exists, but if I try to code it on the server side whilst handling inputs on the client, it becomes frustrating to use due to input delay. Should I lean to one side in particular or is there some kind of middle road I can take?

[hasty mesa]

do it on the client

and you can do speed checks etc

on the server

roblox does movement on the client but dosn't have any checks

[ashen birch]

can you help me to

[ashen birch]

^

[rugged mist]

anyone in here made a weighted rarity system with luck boost?

[hasty mesa]

why are you looping thru players in game

[proven jolt]

tbh I don't understand the context behind this code, but if you want only one player to move to a specific pad, you could use the reference for the random player without having to loop it. If you need to do a loop for the other players to move them elsewhere I'd make a check - if the player of the current index is equal to the randomly selected player, you continue the loop, but if not, you do whatever it is you need to do.
I'm not sure how effective this would be since I'm a little sleepy and I'm writing it in pseudocode

[somber vault]

idk how to make this non explotiable
never rlly made my own petsystme

can somone help me XD

cause i feel like a exploiter can just spam the remote

[proven jolt]

the best thing you can do to prevent exploits is giving only the required amount of information to the client in my opinion

[somber vault]

ye but are explotiers able to span the spawnpetremote

idk what to use

or can they

[proven jolt]

My memory is a little hazy here, but I think I saw something at one point

where the remotes would change names to a random string of numbers and letters

every time it was fired

[somber vault]

how do i do that

XD

cause then the server won't know the remote

[ashen birch]

So I can use index

[somber vault]

@proven jolt if you could help me i would be more than appricatie it

if you want we could hop on a call

[proven jolt]

to be honest I can't remember how it was done and I know it runs the risk of breaking some things that load a bit later after the remote is fired

[somber vault]

if you don't mind

oh

[ashen birch]

@hasty mesa

So I can use index

[hasty mesa]

yeah but why are you modifying the RandomChosenPlayer inside of the for loops

[thorny parcel]

give the remote tags fr

[ashen birch]

Bro whay

I'm just teleporting them back to the pad they originally came from

But for some reason it's not going to the correct one

[hasty mesa]

you're looping thru players and teleporting them to each pad

[proven jolt]

wouldn't exploiters be able to find the tags given to remotes?

[ashen birch]

Bro whay are tou even sayong

You saying

[hasty mesa]

you are iterating thru all the players and are teleporting the randomchosen player to the pad at each player's index

[ashen birch]

Yes

Why ain't it teleporting then to the right one

[hasty mesa]

you teleport them to every player's pad in the game

and it stops at the last player's pad

[thorny parcel]

meow

[ashen birch]

How do I fix it

[hasty mesa]

you store their location before they teleport and then tp them back

[ashen birch]

I've tried that to

[hasty mesa]

try again

[compact frigate]

dm me

[solemn roost]

does anyone know where to find a bunch of documentation for the accessory system

the creator hub doesnt seem all that good for it and whenever i search it up its all related to positioning accessories in the actual app

at first i felt like making my own system but i would prefer to use roblox's if it will work for me

[somber vault]

is this explotibale

[solemn roost]

why not just try yourself
not using an executor but simulate the client trying to break in

try to find a way into your own system

[somber vault]

idk it spawns the pet there

but dosent come with the row

cause im pretty sure you can't require scripts in an executor

or i should just make so the remotes changes the name every 0.1 second

[solemn roost]

correct me if im wrong but dont they just run local scripts basically

you can require in local scripts

[somber vault]

server btw

[somber vault]

the petfollowing yes

but when it stores the pets is all server

[solemn roost]

nah i mean executors

[somber vault]

yes

i think

haven't used one in months

they can't do anything with servers i think

[solemn roost]

yes

unless theres a backdoor which can come in different forms

[main hill]

was wondering, is it bad if i use task.wait() without any cooldown to make it run instantly?

[solemn roost]

dym just with no parameter?

[somber vault]

no backdoors all scripts are by me

[main hill]

yeah

[solemn roost]

should be fine

[main hill]

alright good ty

[somber vault]

ig profilestore

but i don't think it has backdoor

[solemn roost]

yeah ive heard this used a lot

[somber vault]

i just don't want any data leaks on my pet system cause im plaining on a big project

[solemn roost]

ive never used it myself but i might have to try cause whatever im doing rn really sucks

[somber vault]

what you think abt this don't look at ui and allat im not good at it Xd

so is it explotipale proof

[solemn roost]

idrk what to say i mean it seems to work

[solemn roost]

wdym by exploit proof?

[ashen birch]

@hasty mesa

[thorny parcel]

chat in a game full of proximity prompts, how would you handle them?

with the use of PPS

[somber vault]

so like people can't spawn pets with executor

[solemn roost]

how would people do this do ou think

[somber vault]

idk the only method i think its the remotefunction

[round pivot]

[frosty flax]

guys help how do i script a text label to display coins in leaderstats. this is my leaderstats code. I can provide anything else you need. Please help :

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats= Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name= ("leaderstats")
leaderstats.Parent= player

local cash= Instance.new("IntValue")
cash.Name= ("Coins")-- Change "Cash" To Whatever Word Or Phrase You Want!
cash.Parent = leaderstats
cash.Value = 500 -- Change To Any Number

end)

[vale atlas]

atleast remove the comments bro come on

[frosty flax]

ye

[vale atlas]

and is this not working?

whats the problem

[frosty flax]

this is leaderstats

i want this to be displayed on a textlabel

[vale atlas]

so u want a custom leaderstat?

not the default one roblox gives

[frosty flax]

i mean i have a leaderstat that shows me coin and money on it. but i want a separate counter on side of screen that basically disoplays the money on the label. like simulator games

[vale atlas]

so that brings in some type of data store functionality.
u need to get the coin number from somewhere

from where u are storing it

[frosty flax]

i have this

it stores everytime

but it doesnt update on counter

counter is the textlabel

[vale atlas]

I use the profile service library.
the way i get player data is

local profile = PlayerData.Profiles[player]
local cash = profile.Data.Cash

and i use this anywhere i want

[frosty flax]

so i use this ont the localscript fo r the text label?

this is teh script i use for data storage on roblox leaderboard:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Saver = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("SaveLeaderstats")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local Data = nil
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
Data = Saver:GetAsync(tostring(player.UserId))
end)

if success then
    if Data then
        for i, v in pairs(Data) do
            player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild(i).Value = v
        end
    end
else
    error(errormessage)
end

end)

local function Save(player)
local SavedData = {}
for _, v in pairs(player.leaderstats:GetChildren()) do
SavedData[v.Name] = v.Value
end

local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
    Saver:SetAsync(tostring(player.UserId), SavedData)
end)
if not success then
    error(errormessage)
end

end

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(Save)

game:BindToClose(function()
for _, v in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
Save(v)
end
end)

[vale atlas]

depending on how u are getting ur data and saving it.
yes it will work in a local script.
make sure to only retrieve the data locally.
always change data on the server.

[frosty flax]

ok

so can u put exmple bro

i ahve no coding knowledge

this is all yt

[vale atlas]

the example is not that simple. u need a full data store and template to make it work.
look at this tutorial for profile service. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX62XC6SUKg

[frosty flax]

ok

thanks

is there no way where the textlabel just copies the numberr it sees on the leaderboard?

[vale atlas]

local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
local data= leaderstats:FindFirstChild("data")
local value= data.Value

if its a local script

[frosty flax]

oh okay

thanks

whats the red underline? where's the error?

[vale atlas]

bruh

[frosty flax]

??

[vale atlas]

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
local data= leaderstats:FindFirstChild("data")
local value= data.Value

here. try to understand what everything does. dont just copy paste

[frosty flax]

[safe nova]

anyone know what is going wrong with this script?

[somber vault]

Camera.CameraSubject = thatpart

[safe nova]

can you explain a bit more?

[somber vault]

The cameras camerasubject property gives the camera an object to focus on, by default it's your humanoid root part. So you gotta change that

[somber vault]

Also add a waitfordchild onto that part

Didn't see the error lol

[safe nova]

where at in the script do i add the wait for child

[somber vault]

Camfolder:WaitForChild("Cam2").CFrame

Also watch some beginner tutorials man use some functions

[safe nova]

i will its just the start of the game and i havent added the part that will fire the script

[paper lichen]

[heavy sleet]

Am I missing something? My characters are moved via their primary part using workspace:BulkMoveTo and then they can choose to take over their own movement with the below code however when switching they just freeze in place.

-- forgive the formatting, i pasted directly from the script
            local x,y,z = char.PrimaryPart.CFrame.Position.X, char.PrimaryPart.CFrame.Position.Y, char.PrimaryPart.CFrame.Position.Z
            local s,e = pcall(function()
                character.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(x, y, z))
            end)
            print("moving")
            print(s, e)```

Here is the console log:
```yml
-- this is the print from the above code.
 17:54:21.481  true nil  -  Server - Ai:24
  17:54:21.481  moving  -  Server - Ai:23
  17:54:21.481  true nil  -  Server - Ai:24

  17:54:21.481  true nil  -  Server - Ai:24

[cerulean shell]

Just wanting to ask before I try to brute force this like an idiot, functionally in the roblox engine would it be possible to create a script holding a variety of variable functions that can be called in different scripts? I'm working on a fighter and I've boiled down the types of attacks to 5 primary types, so rather than manually coding in the types stats and interactions with block, dodge, etc every time I want to see if I can create the functions so that I only have to code the unique aspects of each attacks rather than everything from scratch.

Just need a yes or no to whether or not it's possible because I don't know much about LUA and I don't wanna bash my head into a wall for nothing.

[rare basin]

I posted on ro devs and all i got was "Hey" or people not getting back to me when i asked for portfolio or past work.

What else am i supposed to do?

[cerulean shell]

I'll take that as a yes, if so, monkey with a typewriter time.

[paper lichen]

yes, you can use modulescripts for OOP.

-- Unanchor the character's PrimaryPart before using MoveTo

[naive yacht]

I can probably do it if you tell me more details abt what's happening/not happening

do you get any console errors?

[naive yacht]

Not sure if anyone answered, but I believe the issue is using Vector3

I believe you need to convert it to CFrame

[heavy sleet]

Tried both

[heavy sleet]

Testing rn hold on

I think that fixed it

[naive yacht]

Might also be an issue switching from BulkMoveTo and MoveTo

[heavy sleet]

That makes 0 sense

[naive yacht]

if both are trying to run at same time could cause conflict

[heavy sleet]

No it wouldn’t

[last glacier]

did u try my fix

[heavy sleet]

Yes I am trying it now pretty sure it done it

Just testing a couple things

[last glacier]

alr

[heavy sleet]

That fixed it

Thanks man

I was thinking it was to do with anchors but manually changing the anchor state didn’t do anything 🤷‍♂️

I never thought to make a script as it didn’t matter to me at least sinxe it usually shouldn’t

[heavy sleet]

^

[last glacier]

ah alr great

yk whats actually crazy

chat gpt fixed your promblem

[heavy sleet]

Yuck

[last glacier]

problem *

[heavy sleet]

I did ask them assistant tbh in studio but it’s so shit

[last glacier]

how much would you pay for a plugin with ai like chat gpts

[heavy sleet]

0

Because I write my own code

[last glacier]

smh

one of them

[heavy sleet]

I said 0

I pay 0 for ai stuff

[last glacier]

ai or not if it generates money

its valuable

[heavy sleet]

I laugh at those people selling ai generated stuff

[last glacier]

well theyll be laughing at you soon buddy ai is one of the fastest growing markets

selling ai generated stuff is crazy tho

[heavy sleet]

Its fast growing because it’s a craze right now

[last glacier]

maybe ai software

[heavy sleet]

Doesn’t mean it’s going to take peoples jobs

[last glacier]

it wont fully take jobs of the markets but theyll only need enough people to make sure the ai is working correctly

so the volume of people needed will decrease

[naive yacht]

AI is actually incredibly useful for coding, code is about efficiency and if you can have AI generate basic code for you and troubleshoot your bugs, it can greatly enhance projects, coding time, etc

[last glacier]

how much would you pay

[naive yacht]

You should never rely 100% on it tho, double check everything it does

[last glacier]

for a software on roblox studio

[last glacier]

yeah obviously

[heavy sleet]

They’re shit points because you wouldn’t need ai if you’re experienced in your line of work.

[naive yacht]

eh, i probably wouldnt

i can ask chatgpt if i need specific assistance

[heavy sleet]

I have programmed for the last 5 years and never needed to use ai

[last glacier]

.fairs

[last glacier]

i used ai to fix ur issue

so now you have used ai

moahahahah

[heavy sleet]

You did not me

[naive yacht]

experienced coders use stack overflow etc, its essentially the same thing

saving time with generic code

[heavy sleet]

Stack overflow is skid central

No one uses stack overflow apart for children

[naive yacht]

Do you have a coding background?

[heavy sleet]

Mhm

I am a plug-in developer for a Minecraft server right now

[last glacier]

lmao times are changing someone with less than 3 months experience can script a full game using ai .

[heavy sleet]

I’ve wrote in many languages

[naive yacht]

Nice, have you had any formal education in code?

Or self-taught?

[heavy sleet]

Self taught

[naive yacht]

Ahh

[heavy sleet]

Started when I was around 11, got my first laptop when I was 13

I was coding from a phone

Until then

[naive yacht]

Figures, when I was completely self-taught I thought it was a shame to use any code assistance

[heavy sleet]

That’s not the point

[naive yacht]

Then I went to college doing coding, and learned that its not bad

[heavy sleet]

So we’re trying to convince

[naive yacht]

Its helpful, saves time, etc

[heavy sleet]

No it’s not

And it does not

[latent gust]

you sound like a fuckin bozo lol

[naive yacht]

From my own experience, it very much does

[heavy sleet]

Womp

[heavy sleet]

Not for me and my line of work

[last glacier]

its not debatable .

ai saves time

its a fact

[naive yacht]

It likely could, you just havent learned how to properly utilize it it sounds like

[heavy sleet]

It is

[heavy sleet]

I don’t need to use it because I have experience

[last glacier]

you had a problem for over 2 hours . i solved it in 1 minute using ai

i saved time

do you understand that concept

[heavy sleet]

Because I was going through my code that’s why lol

[latent gust]

look bro youre talking to minecrafts best plugin developer right now

[last glacier]

yeah looking for your mistake

[naive yacht]

Imagine writing 100 lines of code to generate a shield for a minecraft player, AI could do that it 10 seconds when it would take you 20 minutes

[heavy sleet]

Womp

[naive yacht]

(random numbers just for example)

[latent gust]

put some respect on his name

[heavy sleet]

It has bugs but alright

Sure dude let’s generate some code 🤣

[last glacier]

so does yours

[naive yacht]

Exactly, thats why you don't rely on it 100%

[heavy sleet]

Not a bug was just Roblox not anchoring things correctly

[latent gust]

technically its not a bug when it doesnt work in the first place

[naive yacht]

You get an idea of what you need, then refractor and edit to make it fit

[last glacier]

a mistake

re phrase

[last glacier]

yeah but you didnt know that till ai told you

[heavy sleet]

I have the idea, I plan it out using a diagram and then I go write the code because I know what to write

[last glacier]

what does that say about your 5 years of experience

[heavy sleet]

Doesn’t say anything because it wasn’t a code issue

Was an engine issue

[naive yacht]

Yeah im not at all saying that's bad, it is good practice and it works, but it does take extra time

[last glacier]

if i hadnt told you i used ai would you have known

?

[naive yacht]

And in real-world jobs, time is money, so you have to try to complete everything with as little time as you can

[heavy sleet]

That’s not how the real world works. Time is money but if you rush it then you will have no money

[naive yacht]

Not saying to rush it, that's what testing is for

[heavy sleet]

That’s what you was implying tho

[naive yacht]

But you want to get a working prototype going, test, fix, test again, implement

Code is done in iterations

[heavy sleet]

Idk why you guys care so much about me not liking ai I’m not using it even after this convo

[thick sail]

@sacred wagon Hi again! Thought I'd ask you a quick question regarding yesterday's discussion.

Since most of the quests I'll be creating will be based on saved stats (wins, kills, etc.), I was thinking about updating the progress of the quests directly inside my data saving service to skip the need for a RBXScriptSignal. What do you think?

[cunning pagoda]

ws yall

[thick sail]

In other words, quests would default to be updated inside the data service UNLESS a Signal is specified

[naive yacht]

Yeah that's fine, just remember that it is a useful tool that can help solve bugs and generate basic code well

[heavy sleet]

It’s not useful

For you sure because you’re newer

Until you get more experience it won’t be

[cunning pagoda]

rage bait?

[naive yacht]

useful is subjective

not objective

[heavy sleet]

Real

[heavy sleet]

It can be both

I have more experience than thy so therefore it is not useful to me

[naive yacht]

well you might not have use for a hammer in making code, that doesnt make a hammer objectively not useful

[last glacier]

is that u in ur pfp

[heavy sleet]

Yes (no dumbass)

[last glacier]

...

[heavy sleet]

Look in my bio lol

At the very bottom

You’ll see

The truth 😮

[last glacier]

oh

[naive yacht]

also impressive, if you dont mind me asking how old are you now?

[last glacier]

hahahah.

[naive yacht]

curious how many years of experience you have now

[heavy sleet]

18

[naive yacht]

nice nice, then I have equal to more experience than you

[heavy sleet]

I guess technically 7 but I don’t count my programming from 11-13

[heavy sleet]

Good for you don’t care gng

[cosmic dome]

what is best AI for roblox scripts would you guys say

[heavy sleet]

None

[naive yacht]

As long as you provide specific details, ChatGPT works well to give you an outline of what you need

You will have to edit it to make the implementation work likely

[cosmic dome]

yea i've noticed that

[naive yacht]

No AI is going to be a 100% solution to do all code, but when used properly can help you skip over a bunch of tedious coding and go straight to refractoring and fixing

[cosmic dome]

I've been using it against claude and claude seems to get to the results faster in terms of needing less prompts to get the desired thing but im wondering if there is any that is probably better in any other way

[naive yacht]

Just make sure you send all relevant code you already use when asking a prompt

Like lets say you want it to make a datastore for your game, its going to need access to all code that has relevant data

Less is not more when it comes to AI, share all your scripts that it should be connecting to

[cunning pagoda]

🤔

[inner bridge]

Claude 3.7 is actually decent

200k one

[inland bay]

claude is good its reasoning just isnt the best

o1 still gaps it in that regard

even r1

[fluid sierra]

help on how to fix this i tried multiple times

[slender wharf]

what is a method of creating a confetti particle when buying a gamepass?

[slender wharf]

?

[mortal jackal]

I need a goated full stack scripter, does anyone know a guy who knows a guy? Or is possibly just that guy?

[dense flume]

[sacred wagon]

So like when you update a stat you directly update all the quest instead of firing an event

Worth a shot

[somber vault]

arent all scripters full stacked

[thorny marsh]

what is full stacked

[hoary cedar]

He means "full-stack". The term is commonly used to refer to developers who are experienced in both front-end and back-end development

Each area of development has its own tech stack

[somber vault]

local and server right?

[hoary cedar]

Front-end typically refers to UI, but in the context of Roblox, it's okay to say that

[thorny marsh]

Ok thank you for clarifying that

[somber vault]

I thought every scripters know how to script in both UI and Server

[mortal jackal]

Well I know who I’m not looking for lmaoooo

[rose harness]

does any1 know how i can make a game like get big simulator or be grass or be a fish which has diffrent charectors

[hoary cedar]

The issue is that each is a formal specialization; they each have unique technologies, paradigms, design patterns, architectures, yada yada

Sure, you can script UI, but can you do it properly?

Can you do it efficiently?

[somber vault]

ok

[thorny marsh]

@hoary cedar how did you learn to start scripting?

[hoary cedar]

That was 11 years ago, so I can't really say

[thorny marsh]

Oh dang, well i just started scripting do you have any tips for me to improve?

[hoary cedar]

Practice, avoid AlvinBlox and TheDevKing

Ask questions here

[crisp steppe]

who here knows OOP looking for comm work

[acoustic maple]

avoid

[hoary cedar]

Is the pay in %?

[nova cloud]

can someone explain to me why the dragdetector isnt moving the part wherever the camera is looking via y axis?

    dragDetector.DragContinue:Connect(function(player: Player, _, viewFrame: CFrame)
        local att = self:getLookAt(player)
        
        if att then
            local Y = viewFrame.LookVector.Y
            att.CFrame = CFrame.new( Vector3.new(0, (Y * 5), -5) )
        end
        
        -- // do magnitude checking to see if item is far from player and drop
        local distance = (self.item.Position - player.Character.PrimaryPart.Position).Magnitude
        if distance > dragDetector.MaxActivationDistance then
            self.alignPosition.Enabled = false
            self.alignPosition.Attachment1 = nil
            self.item:SetAttribute("CurrentDrag", nil)
        end
    end)

[nova cloud]

nvm just read a doc how roblox broken dragcontinue for the scriptable dragstyle xd

[somber vault]

yo im making a combat system kit and maybe sell, if i use somebody elses animation that they post on toolbox is that bad can they do something?

if your selling it you should use your own shit

[loud salmon]

Is there any scripture that work full time but don’t mind being paid based off percentage

[uncut cloud]

yo how do i get into camera scripting

like i see some games with cool camera systems like a sword swinging with the camera

or really good gun recoil systems

how do i do ts

[celest cipher]

freddy fazbear died in the pizzeria for you. He defeated death, he defeated your sins. He did this for you, and he gave us the freddy fazbear pizza, spread the lore.(This is a joke)

Pizza died on the crust for you. He defeated chicken, he defeated your hunger. He did this for you, and He gave us stuffed crust, spread the sauce. (This is a joke)

[remote mirage]

yippie i finally made a bug free dash system, baby steps one at a time fr fr 😎😎 i fixed double input bug, animation bug, and turning bug

your cooked if you pay for a course

honestly if u willing to part with the money go for it

[median tree]

It’s free to learn scripting

I would never recommend buying a course

[remote mirage]

factual

i just steal scripts

[bleak glade]

is it possible to somehow send a frame in a webhook as an image? im not sure if i can externally upload it to imgur from a script as a viewport or smth

[hoary cedar]

"frame in a webhook"?

[remote mirage]

does he know what a webhook does

[bleak glade]

im aware i worded that badly

its hard to explain exactly what im trying to do, but people draw, its made into a frame, and theres a report option to send as a webhook but im not sure how to upload that drawing to the webhook

[remote mirage]

ts would be 100% easier in minecraft

[remote mirage]

somebody ask the same on devforum, he gave up btw

[bleak glade]

i saw that one 💀

thats why i wasnt sure if it was possible

[remote mirage]

this is also gonna quickly become more complex because you are doing the drawing thing

that's why in every other drawing game they just say report on discord or votekick

[bleak glade]

ill show what im doing

[bleak glade]

option to have staff remove it was the next plan

[remote mirage]

this reminds me of that ai that was just a bunch of dudes answering manually

[remote mirage]

love to see a harry potter game

all that for one feature isn't really worth it imo

because im assuming its NOT just a drawing game

[bleak glade]

its not

[bleak glade]

yeah its a school game

[remote mirage]

i would just do the report method ngl you have more important things to work on

[nova cloud]

sending a drawing into a webhook is just not worth the struggle honestly

[nova cloud]

^ what this guy said

[bleak glade]

the game is activate with staff so i just made it so they can delete it + send the image to the discord for the user to be banned

[nova cloud]

wouldnt you just be better off having a reasoning for why a player should be banned and send that to a webhook

[bleak glade]

wdym how do i track reason

[nova cloud]

players input a reason on what they player did that was bannable

[bleak glade]

there could be false reports with that system ngl

and theres no real way to track it without a staff in the game so

having the staff deleting it feels easier

[nova cloud]

that is true but the way youre going about it is really complex

[bleak glade]

how

i already made the system lol

ill show hold on

the button is made visible to that client if theyre staff, staff checking is also done on the server when the remote is sent

[remote mirage]

LOL

bro is gonna have some chinese guy watch it 24/7

[remote mirage]

Hello! im Quacks, i know a bit in scripting/coding, i consider myself as a very unique person.

[celest cipher]

yes im special uwu

[bleak glade]

perhaps for 1 robux

[nova cloud]

oh

[solemn roost]

does anyone know how accessories work
i just wanna like make some and position them myself on a character for a game but i cant find any docs on this

[nova cloud]

😭

[solemn roost]

it seems like its better to use them than make my own system

if someone wants to dispute that i would welcome it too

[olive pelican]

hi

I WANNA LEARN FOR FREE

[solemn roost]

youtube bro

[olive pelican]

they have a BAD EXAMPLES

[olive pelican]

you teach me bro

[solemn roost]

how do you know if theyre bad

[olive pelican]

because i watched them bro

[solemn roost]

you didnt learn?

what was confusing

[olive pelican]

i watched more than 1 youtuber that teaching scripting

[olive pelican]

i didnt learn anything...

@solemn roost i recommend you to just

[solemn roost]

the examples didnt teach you?

[olive pelican]

try to teach me the basics

[solemn roost]

im not trying to be rude but it takes a lot of time to teach someone

what do you want to know tho

[olive pelican]

they showed a examples that no one is using and not even usefull

[olive pelican]

its alright try to teach me at least

[olive pelican]

hmmm scripting

[solemn roost]

ye i figured

[olive pelican]

find an easy way

and the most important things

[solemn roost]

do you know variables?

[olive pelican]

try to bring examples from any games in ROBLOX

[olive pelican]

yeah

[solemn roost]

theyre like variables in math

[olive pelican]

variables like a BOX

[solemn roost]

but you can assign more than just numbers

[solemn roost]

youre at algebra right just checking

[olive pelican]

local (give it a name) and then write down the locations of data you wanna use

[solemn roost]

yes

good that you used local

[olive pelican]

is it the most used one??

[solemn roost]

most of the time you wanna use local

it has to do with the scope of the variable

but snice you said you know nothing it isnt important right now

[olive pelican]

important of what??

what do you mean?

[solemn roost]

never mind

do you know if statements

and loops

[olive pelican]

if statement i know

about the loops is about like

for and give it a numbers

1, 10 ,1

and write DO

and then enter

and then put a command inside it

[solemn roost]

i think the problem is youre not thinking conceptually

youre trying to memorize the exact words

[olive pelican]

but i never made a game before

[solemn roost]

you should do that

but try to think about what the codes actually doing

this comes with practice

[olive pelican]

the loops means

how do i say it

do the command over and over again

until it stops at the time you choosed

3

the loop will do it three times in the row

can you try to help me to find a good exampled of these three??

[solemn roost]

which series did you watch

[olive pelican]

propretis

[solemn roost]

yes at the condition you set

[olive pelican]

propetis with a vriables

[solemn roost]

who made it

[olive pelican]

and fuction with a if statement

[olive pelican]

i watched it from youtube

[solemn roost]

nah like what channel on youtube

[olive pelican]

but every video i watch, i understand how do it works

[inland bay]

no channel

read the docs

you wont learn shit from videos

[solemn roost]

i generally agree

[olive pelican]

brawldev

[inland bay]

*talking abt syntax and methods

computational thinking etc

and concepts

then sure watch vids

[solemn roost]

i strongly believe the best way to learn is making your own stuff

[inland bay]

yh

[solemn roost]

this is how you develop that

thats how i learned

[inland bay]

or reversing open source stuff

[olive pelican]

but when i try even to do a simple things

it hard

[solemn roost]

it is hard when youre starting out

[inland bay]

its not meant to be easy 💔

[solemn roost]

you gotta keep trying

[olive pelican]

and i have some ideas to make but i still coudlnt because i still dont know everything

[inland bay]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1182657428144275496/1348714241909198858/uncaption.gif

[solemn roost]

start small

[olive pelican]

it isnt relating to be easy or hard, it is relating from the ones who is teaching

[solemn roost]

well dont treat videos like a teacher you're the one who does the learning
they show you the basics

[inland bay]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1138164798652166264/1303131965251391629/attachment-1-1.gif

[olive pelican]

@solemn roost so do you wanna teach me or not??

[solemn roost]

and then youre supposed to go from there by reading docs

[inland bay]

i'd honestly start with docs

then go to vids

[solemn roost]

docs for the basics and vids for specific things?

i think it is useful to have someone explaining their code

[inland bay]

idk I actually havent looked for roblox basics vids

[olive pelican]

@solemn roost it would be usefull if you at least tried to teach me

[inland bay]

idk i cant learn from videos personally

hence I am against them

[olive pelican]

try to teach me

at least your mind will gain experince from it

[solemn roost]

well it would take a lot of time that i dont have rn

[olive pelican]

just one thing

[inland bay]

not everyone has an unlimited amount of time, he gave you some advice and thats already more than enough

[olive pelican]

not everything in once..

[restive flicker]

Hello I would really appreciate if someone could help me with an issue I am having in my game.

So I need my object's physics to always be active—even when it's not moving—so that knockback collisions can happen. But the physics engine shuts off the objects physics when it's still (not moving) . I tried adding continuous force when it stops, but it only works sometimes.

if anyone has experience and can provide support I would really appreciate it

[inland bay]

try print debugging

to see why it works sometimes

[restive flicker]

so I did that and the problem is it keeps going to sleep

[solemn roost]

gonna be honest i cant think of just one thing rn

say something you need help on

[inland bay]

💔 yh no ideas then 🔥

sorry

[restive flicker]

and its almost like you have to perfectly time it where its awake and hit it for it to work

[inland bay]

whats the game

[olive pelican]

give me good examples of variable and if statements, that would be usefull and great

[inland bay]

or purpose of the object

or this impl etc

[restive flicker]

the purpose is to have continues physics active for example the bumper cars game have u played it?

[inland bay]

i havent but i cant imagine ig

[solemn roost]

local num = 5
if num == 5:
    print("Num is 5")
elseif num < 5:
    print("Num is below 5")
else:
    print("Num is above 5")

[olive pelican]

bro what?????

[solemn roost]

if you want to find all the different operators you can look that up on the lua 5.1 docs

or the roblox one

[olive pelican]

NOT THAT............

[solemn roost]

then what

?

[olive pelican]

i mean what can i used it for

[solemn roost]

oh

[olive pelican]

dont show me the cooding

[solemn roost]

ok, well what are you trying to do

[olive pelican]

show me the design or the things

[solemn roost]

just name something

[restive flicker]

when you hit a still car it gets affected and pushed back

[olive pelican]

hmmm

[inland bay]

are you doing physics both on the server n client

[olive pelican]

open the door and close it

[inland bay]

or just server

[olive pelican]

@solemn roost

[solemn roost]

actually a good one

so

[restive flicker]

client mainly

[olive pelican]

make it like a minecraft, how the player open and close the door without having a beautiful realistic animation

[restive flicker]

can I add u to my experince ?

[inland bay]

honestly a weird issue

[solemn roost]

im not giving code

in your script you set up a variable (lets call it toggle) that is either true or false

[inland bay]

sure

[solemn roost]

that data type is called boolean

[inland bay]

@losingmysavings

[solemn roost]

lets say to trigger the door you use proximity prompts, i wont go into detail on how

when the prompt is triggered, you change the variable to the opposite of whatever it is

[inland bay]

@restive flicker have you tried asking sonnet or sm

[solemn roost]

then you want to run different code depending on what exactly toggle is equal to

thats where you use if statements

[olive pelican]

hmmm good

[restive flicker]

whos sonnet?

sorry im new here so i wouldnt know

[inland bay]

claude sonnet

its an llm

[olive pelican]

@solemn roost can i try to change the door position to just open and close?

[inland bay]

mb for the phrasing
