wdym

[olive pelican]

@solemn roostwithout having to do a animation

[solemn roost]

yeah you can just change the rotation ive done that before

[olive pelican]

oh alright thats cool

[restive flicker]

no here let me inv u

[solemn roost]

one last thing

if you want to do that you need to understand the difference between vector3 and cframe

since cframe is what you'd use to rotate

[nova cloud]

youtube and devforums 🙏

[solemn roost]

vector3 is just a point in 3D space. thats it, no rotation or anything

thats what the Position property on a part is

cframes have positions (Vector3) but also rotations and a lot of other stuff too

essentially thats what it is

[restive flicker]

I messaged u privetly

[solemn roost]

theres some very good guides on the creator hub for this https://create.roblox.com/docs/workspace/cframes

@olive pelican

[solemn roost]

i would strongly recommend reading it

@solemn roost can you help me on one thing now

about the

ProximityPrompt

[solemn roost]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/ui/proximity-prompts

[olive pelican]

i wrote a code

[solemn roost]

this is a friendly article

[last glacier]

hey

did u fix it or still need help

local part = script.Parent
part:SetNetworkOwner(nil)

oops

[olive pelican]

@solemn roost how can i use the Orientation

[restive flicker]

Hi im still working on it

[spark wedge]

Ive been working at this for a while now even with the help of chatgpt i cant figure it out, im not a scripter at any means, but i am trying to get a global countdown ui from 120 seconds when a play clicks a certain part. Anyone know how to do this?

[bleak glade]

if its global put an attribute on workspace or smth and set it to 120, click -> fire server -> while countdown > 0 do countdown -=1 task.wait(1)

client

workspace:GetAttributeChangedSignal("Timer") textlabel.Text = timer

[spark wedge]

ive got it to work

but the ui dissapears on players death

heres the code

-- Get the part and the ClickDetector
local part = script.Parent
local clickDetector = part:WaitForChild("ClickDetector") -- Get the ClickDetector
local countdownTime = 120 -- Set countdown time in seconds
local players = game:GetService("Players")

-- Function to start the countdown
local function startCountdown(player)
-- Check if the player already has a countdown UI and if it's still in PlayerGui
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local existingGui = playerGui:FindFirstChild("CountdownScreenGui")

-- If the UI doesn't exist, create it
if not existingGui then
    local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
    screenGui.Name = "CountdownScreenGui"  -- Name it to easily find and manage it
    screenGui.Parent = playerGui

    local countdownLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
    countdownLabel.Parent = screenGui
    countdownLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 50)
    countdownLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, -100, 0.5, -25)
    countdownLabel.TextSize = 40
    countdownLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
    countdownLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1
    countdownLabel.Text = "Time: " .. tostring(countdownTime)

    -- Countdown loop
    while countdownTime > 0 do
        wait(1)  -- Wait for 1 second
        countdownTime = countdownTime - 1
        countdownLabel.Text = "Time: " .. tostring(countdownTime)
    end

    -- Countdown complete
    countdownLabel.Text = "Time's up!"
    wait(2)
end

end

-- Detect when a player clicks the part via the ClickDetector
clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
startCountdown(player) -- Start the countdown when the player clicks the part
end)

how would i stop it from dissapearing on death?

[heavy sleet]

Dude you need to learn to code without ChatGPT lol

It’s not that hard

Just think gang

[spark wedge]

Yeah i know..

[heavy sleet]

Yet you use ai

[spark wedge]

Im aware and i do need to learn

[heavy sleet]

So go learn

[spark wedge]

Been trying to

[heavy sleet]

Clearly not if you’re using ai

[spark wedge]

Im just getting into it

[heavy sleet]

Using ai to do the hard stuff for you isn’t learning

[spark wedge]

I dont have knowledge for making my own scrips yet

[heavy sleet]

I started programming without ai

[heavy sleet]

Then go learn

[spark wedge]

Im not tryna argue with you bro, im admitting your right and agreed with you

Why do you keep going on

[heavy sleet]

I’m not either

Because I’m giving you the solution

[spark wedge]

You dont need to keep repeating it im aware.

[heavy sleet]

So go learn then

[spark wedge]

Like i said i am trying to learn

[heavy sleet]

Then go do it bro

[supple parcel]

I am trying to replicate this ability to turn text to a seperate alphabet when you arent on the right team, anybody outside example team "red" will see the message in english to them, but anybody outside team red will see this dialect. Essentially a scrambler

[hardy pilot]

Make your own bubbles

[supple parcel]

I figured out I can use billboardgui to do that

thats what they used but idk how to implement it code wise

[hardy pilot]

Use TextChatService to see who's talking and their status

Then either use the default bubble method or your own respective to their status

[hollow wind]

im on the edge of a crashout

so my IT/computer technology teachers had a choice between teaching us python or some random ass language called lazarus

you wont believe what and why they chose

They are convinced of the most bullshit things

Probably because in order to become an IT teacher you have to

Either retire or suck ass and fail in the industry

[hollow wind]

retire from where?

oh

[fair ridge]

hey could anyone help me rq with something: for my battle grounds game i need almost like a knockback for each punch which stuns the player then after a combo of normal hits the player falls over?? idk.. PLS HELP

[fair ridge]

so

just kms

[sterile summit]

did you make your own stuff or follow a tutorial

[fair ridge]

tbh... tutorial but my friend helped me.. hes like INSANE at coding

[sterile summit]

get your friend to do it

[fair ridge]

he didnt help for the most tho

[spark wedge]

Nah sometimes when im feeling annoyed i just do that

[fair ridge]

hes not on plus i wanna learn>

[sterile summit]

oh my god i just realized how to do stun for my combat

I have been blessed

[fair ridge]

[sterile summit]

this is perfect

I see nothing wrong with my plan

[valid sentinel]

😭

[hushed forge]

help its not working

[formal meteor]

chat save me from feinting

[formal meteor]

just do

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, -1, true, 0)

Oh and also

Why tf do u have a goal

as empty table?

What is the goal?

[hushed forge]

i was learning from documentation and it has an empty goal

[formal meteor]

uhm

what do u want to do with the tween

[hushed forge]

oh

[formal meteor]

yeah see

teehee

[hushed forge]

im dumb

[formal meteor]

u can also just do this

goal = {
Position = Vector3.new(10, 10, 10);
Color = Color3.new(0, 1, 0);
}

[hushed forge]

tysm

[vocal tusk]

Chat im kind of new to script is It safe to have a folder with values in the player's character
(I mean safe from exploiters)

[soft vault]

have u guys ever hated CFrame.LookAt()?

local function LookAt(oldCFrame, target)
    local position = oldCFrame.Position
    local forward = (target - position).unit

    local upVector = oldCFrame.UpVector

    if forward:FuzzyEq(Vector3.new(0, -1, 0)) then
        upVector = Vector3.new(0, 0, -1)
    end

    local right = forward:Cross(upVector).unit
    local up = right:Cross(forward).unit

    return CFrame.fromMatrix(position, right, up, -forward)
end

[vocal tusk]

Don't know what It does but It makes me mad Just to see it

[soft vault]

i made better look at

[soft vault]

it makes a part look at another part

the front face

[vocal tusk]

Oh didn't know about this festure thanks

[hushed forge]

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG

[hasty cobalt]

tweeninfo:Play()

you're running :Play() on the variable that defines TweenService

[median tree]

https://tenor.com/view/genius-reyleigh-gif-2624811426640502973

[hasty cobalt]

wait im stupid

u didnt even make

a tweenservice

ugh give me ur script ill fix it for u

im half asleep sori

[hushed forge]

local part = game.Workspace.part
part.Color = Color3.new(1, 0, 0.0156863)

local goal = {}
goal.Color = Color3.new(0.14902, 1, 0.901961)

local tween = game:GetService("TweenService")
tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, -1, true, 0)

tweeninfo:Play()

[median tree]

TweenInfo is alllowercase

on line 10

[hasty cobalt]

local part = game.Workspace.part
part.Color = Color3.new(1, 0, 0.0156863)

local goal = {}
goal.Color = Color3.new(0.14902, 1, 0.901961)

local tween = game:GetService("TweenService")
tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, -1, true, 0)

tween:Create(part, tweeninfo, goal):Play()```

@hushed forge

[hushed forge]

i made it a variable so idm

[hasty cobalt]

oops

do it again i edited the script

sorray i woke up rn 😊

[hushed forge]

IT WORKS

god bless 😭

man scripting is so dumb

[fading hull]

Can anyone help me find out how volleyball legends makes there ball velocity

[tiny obsidian]

💀

my ass

[gentle halo]

anyone needs a script

[worn sigil]

yo wsp

[gentle halo]

eyy

[worn sigil]

you working for free?

or you want soemthing

[gentle halo]

yes what help u need?

[worn sigil]

so i need a customizable shop system

for my game

and this shop is made for characters

[gentle halo]

oh

[worn sigil]

so i need it so it updates on servre too

thats all

[gentle halo]

i can't srry i meant just to help u in the code issues and mistake

not writing a full script

[worn sigil]

ohh ok

well i did make a shop system

but its a little broken

so friend me if i cant fix it i will ask you

[gentle halo]

suuure anytime bro

[eager night]

Does anybody know if it is possible to make a part that are non colide with the player and invisible colliding with the player camera ?

[molten plinth]

Collision groups
Google it

-# because I’ve lowkey never used them

[eager night]

ama check it thanks

[daring chasm]

does anyone know a script that can be used for any animation?

and you can adjust new animation to it

for example you click e

then the animation happens

thats all

[hot wraith]

I can do it for u

[latent gust]

sounds like a generic keybind script with a function to play an animation

[daring chasm]

thank you

[daring chasm]

yeah like that

[latent gust]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onAction(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
    if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
        local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(inputObject.Parent)
        if player then
            local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
            animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://YOUR_ANIMATION_ID_HERE"
            local animationTrack = player.Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
            animationTrack:Play()
        end
    end
end

ContextActionService:BindAction("PlayAnimation", onAction, false, Enum.KeyCode.E)```

[vale atlas]

why use context action, and not just plain userInputService

[latent gust]

doesnt matter

both produce the same result

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onInput(input, gameProcessed)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and not gameProcessed then
        local player = Players.LocalPlayer
        local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
        animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://YOUR_ANIMATION_ID_HERE"
        local animationTrack = player.Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
        animationTrack:Play()
    end
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(onInput)```

[vale atlas]

yea but there has to be a difference

[latent gust]

sure there is, but it doesnt matter

[hot wraith]

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://YOUR_ANIMATION_ID"

local track = humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator") or Instance.new("Animator", humanoid)
local animationTrack = track:LoadAnimation(animation)

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
if not gameProcessed and input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
animationTrack:Play()
end
end)

[latent gust]

thats a lot of fluff

[hot wraith]

For the new API, but bit too long than tman

[latent gust]

i would generally point people to CAS just because inevitably i think he/they would expand beyond just press E and CAS has better support for different platforms/devices and such

its easier to extend CAS than to have to go and re-write it when you originally used uIS

[hot wraith]

Long-term yes, but not for a simple need here

[latent gust]

eh, simple doesnt mean use the dumbest option

as in most dumbed down

[vale atlas]

right true. so that was a difference

[latent gust]

at the end of the day, if he never programs anything beyond e to play an animation it still works as intended but if he progresses than the framework is already there

and we dont have to answer a second question about how to change it

[hot wraith]

I can understand your point of view, but simplicity is also an answer when the need isn't as complex as that, of course it helps to extend it, but I don't think that's what he wants ^^.

After all, who cares? It meets demand in both cases, so there's no need to know.

[latent gust]

yeah not a biggie in the scheme of things

i have a more pressing question though, if there was a ball that made a clone of you when you touched it, what would the ball look like

[ocean bane]

can anyone help me with this mechanic

[hot wraith]

Which one?

[hot wraith]

Do you have any more details?

[ocean bane]

so ypu know jujutsu shenanigans and eat a world

how they have it so parts are destroyable with physics

[latent gust]

i drop a ball, and when the ball touches it player it makes a clone of them. i need to design the balls appearance

[ocean bane]

why a ball

[hot wraith]

These are the voxels.
It's a physics-based system of destruction.

[latent gust]

its how my game works, balls and logs and shit drop down slippery stairs

[ocean bane]

how do they function

[hot wraith]

I have a link to the forum that talks about this do you want it?

[hot wraith]

I thought about it and frankly no idea :/

[ocean bane]

sure

[bitter slate]

Code not running 🤔

[hot wraith]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/voxeldestruct-voxelated-destruction-physics-with-greedy-meshing-hitboxes-and-more/3044264

local character = script.Parent
local humanoid : Humanoid = character.Humanoid
local rootPart = character.HumanoidRootPart

    for _, player : Player in ipairs(Players:GetChildren()) do
        local playerChar = player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
        local playerRoot = playerChar:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
        table.insert(result, playerRoot)
    end
    
    return result
end

function Move(currentPos, targetPos)
    print("reached")
    local path = PathFindingService:CreatePath()
    path:ComputeAsync(currentPos, targetPos)
    if not path then warn("no path found") end
    for _, wayPoint in ipairs(path:GetChildren()) do
        if wayPoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
            humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
        end
        print("Should be moving now")
        humanoid:MoveTo(wayPoint.Position)
        humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
    end
end

while task.wait(yield) do
    local roots = GetAllRoots()
    local currentPos = rootPart.Position
    local target
    for i, root :Part in ipairs(roots) do
        if i == 1 then target = root continue end
        if (root.Position - currentPos).Magnitude > (target.Position - currentPos).Magnitude then
            target = root
        end
    end
    print(target)
    Move(currentPos, target.Position)
end

help.

[latent gust]

?

[severe sun]

is there a way to make it so my face is invisible? (its a first person script and for some reason i see my face D:)

[hot wraith]

Want some ideas for the visual?

[hot wraith]

Console output?

[latent gust]

yeah i can't really figure out what a clone ball would look like

[hot wraith]

I'll think about it and get back to you.

[latent gust]

you have to click on the text to give it permissions mine says none needed but yours might say permissiosn required or something

i stopped using that plugin though, some of the text i made kept disappearing for no obvious reason

[molten plinth]

Make it transparent in a local script

[shy bronze]

get the model and the head and set the face decal transparency to 0

[hot wraith]

Did you try to make the head transparent when you first saw it?

[shy bronze]

i did not mean the plugins errors

[severe sun]

how do i do it on the clientside

[hot wraith]

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local function hideHead()
local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")
if head then
head.Transparency = 1 -- Rendre la tête invisible
head.CanCollide = false -- Empêcher la tête de collisionner avec d'autres objets
end
end

hideHead()

[severe sun]

Where do i put this

[shy bronze]

ill make u a script

(help me later on modelling 😭 )

[severe sun]

Bet howd u know i model 😭

[hot wraith]

I'll leave it to nobroo

@latent gust I have a few ideas

[latent gust]

hit me

[hot wraith]

Before I say it, let's agree that the concept is a player touching the ball to make a clone, and you want a model that sticks to that principle?

[latent gust]

https://www.roblox.com/share?code=120ae1dc7960c7429fce785110b37e27&type=ExperienceInvite

take a look, there's a lot going on

[hot wraith]

Ok i'm on it, i go see wait

[latent gust]

there's different balls that do different things

[shy bronze]

i scan every profile anyways

local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character or game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local head = char:WaitForChild("Head")
head:WaitForChild("face").Transparency = 1

lil script that should remove ur face let me test it lol

[severe sun]

Where should i put this

[hot wraith]

LocalScript in Starter

[severe sun]

in what starter 😭

[hot wraith]

[hot wraith]

Try to make a futuristic, or organic, ball, which is what cloning is all about,
try going for white/blue for futuristic, like your ball.

[latent gust]

ok maybe a white metal

[hot wraith]

Yes, and if it doesn't, organic can do it too

[latent gust]

looks like a giant pearl, not too bad

can someone help me create a crate roll gui system like the one in superhero tycoon

[carmine yacht]

start coding it and get to the point hwere you need help

or hire someone in #scripter-hiring

[round ridge]

Ive used another script

do you need a reference?

[carmine yacht]

where did you get stuck

[round ridge]

Here, where the scripts are supposed to make the gui spin horizontally

like the actual tiles

[remote mirage]

yeah bro is cooked

[carmine yacht]

is this not just stolen from foreverhd

but whatever

where is the code tho

[round ridge]

correct, but im trying to make it function like the one in superhero tycoon

[carmine yacht]

ok

[round ridge]

do you want the original codes from foreverhd or the one i have that i modified with chatGPT

[carmine yacht]

where is the superhero tycoon ref

[round ridge]

thats the thing

i dont have the actual code but i have a reference photo

Im pretty sure it uses a tween animation

I could be wrong though

would this be easier with Team crate?

Can you help me out then?

🙏🥺

[summer vortex]

??

[latent gust]

send me ONLY the relevant code on a baseplate

[round ridge]

So you want me to send you the rbxl file later on?

I think that’s what Roblox studio files are called anyway

[steel elm]

Is it possible to detect if something is already inside of something else? (An image button inside a frame in my case)

[wraith leaf]

oh no i was replying of the sheesh

[peak geyser]

ohhh haha

i need help thats all

[frozen arch]

i wanna make a lantern that is attached to a characters hip how should i go about attaching it

[past dagger]

the chances

I have it

[frozen arch]

oh wrd?

[past dagger]

just need to open wait a sec

[frozen arch]

tysm bro

[past dagger]

server script

local function onPlayerAdded(plr)
    plr.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(char)
        local hat = game.ServerStorage.Lantern:Clone()
        local hum = char:FindFirstChild("LowerTorso") or char:FindFirstChild("Torso")
        
        local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
        weld.Part0 = hum
        weld.Part1 = hat.PrimaryPart
        weld.Parent = hat
        
        if char:FindFirstChild("Torso") then
            weld.C0 = CFrame.new(-1.1, -1, 0) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(10), 0, math.rad(-10))
        else
            weld.C0 = CFrame.new(-1.1, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(10), 0, math.rad(-10))
        end
        hat:PivotTo(hum:GetPivot())
        hat.Parent = char
    end)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

and just put a model in serverstorage of the lantern

[frozen arch]

Alrighty!👍 Ill check the code out myself as well!

[past dagger]

also I got bored and made shapecast suspension idk what I should add its a little scuffed tho

[cunning pagoda]

[clear pawn]

Whats wrong with this?

local playerstats = {}
playerstats = {
score = 100,
name = "alwx",
}

for i,v in ipairs(playerstats) do
print(i,v.name)

end

[spring fog]

I need this to be like a carry a blank game but the part keeps moving weirdly

any help?

[hearty trellis]

no.

just no.

first off

DARK MODE PLEASEEE

anyways besides that

you wanna use CFrame

local pos = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,2) -- Replace 2 with how far infront

@spring fog

[spring fog]

Oh yeah I fixed it

Thanks

I also made it so when it gets unequip it disappears which will lead to a stash feature later

[celest cipher]

spot the difference ahh photo

why is there a fucking monster

[bronze vigil]

salaminconpelo or.. florecity_gaimer 😨

[celest cipher]

salamin

[bronze vigil]

i was leaning towars florecity i mean those realistic faces are horifying

[bleak glade]

best way to optimize this? i added a wait to the server updates but if the user spams makes brush strokes, frame times can jump, each stroke is a frame so i was wondering if its possible to combine them into one to limit creations somehow?

[vale atlas]

one approach maybe instead of updating the server every stroke, send them in batches at set intervals if u are not already doing so.

[bleak glade]

i already use batches to cache the strokes in a table

the main issue is the creation of frames, once you make a lot it gets a little laggy

it instances a new frame as each paint storke which causes the lag

[vale atlas]

Can't you reuse frames then? Keep a pool of reusable frames instead of making new ones. OR combine frames together after making them to reduce instance counts. in dev forums they refer to it as "Greedy Meshing".

[bleak glade]

ill check it out thx

[crystal olive]

i just found out about oop

[somber vault]

alley oop

[agile fulcrum]

guys i just bought a gun system from some guy
he sent me a game with all the models
and now idk why i cant contact him
but he gave me the game and it works
i wanna transfer it to my main game
but the game he gave has alot of extra stuff so i need help on know how to transfer only the gun models and the system

can anyone help

[lost pebble]

you can just copy and paste the models

[agile fulcrum]

i dont see the modals

idk where they are

[lost pebble]

look in the explorer

[agile fulcrum]

i they are all as tools

in start player or smthn

models are alr

but wht abt scripts

[lost pebble]

look in StarterPack

[agile fulcrum]

if i send a script here can yall check and tell me if its a safe script??

i feel like he put smthn wrong in the script

[lost pebble]

like what?

[agile fulcrum]

idk

like those free models with sccripts that do bad things to ur game

[lost pebble]

well what part of the script do you think is malicious?

[agile fulcrum]

idk
il just send all scripts here can u check if anything is malicious?

idk where it might be

but he has like 3 modals with 20 modals in them and each modal has like 20 more modals and each of those hase like 20 welds

[lost pebble]

an obvious thing that could be malicious is if it's requiring a module script by id

[agile fulcrum]

how do i check for it

[lost pebble]

go to view at the top of roblox studio and click on "Find All/Replace All" then search "require("

[agile fulcrum]

ok

[lost pebble]

if you see something like require(7383459), it could be malicious

[hardy pilot]

You're malicious!!

[agile fulcrum]

what

.

[lost pebble]

😡

[agile fulcrum]

dj

zombie

[lost pebble]

hi

[agile fulcrum]

so many results 😭

[lost pebble]

those are modules within the game. that was expected

[agile fulcrum]

so its malicious??

[lost pebble]

no

[agile fulcrum]

oh

ok

good

[lost pebble]

unless the scripts themselves are. but you would have to check that manually

[agile fulcrum]

what scripts would a gun system need

[lost pebble]

depends how you make it

[agile fulcrum]

btw the guns are in starter pack

vdoes a gun need this much code

[lost pebble]

if it's decked out in detail and stuff, yeah

this doesnt look like a simple gun

[agile fulcrum]

it will take hours to check if it isnt malicious or not

is there any weasy way

[lost pebble]

other than what i told you about a script requiring a module by id, no. not that ik of

[agile fulcrum]

ok well , its prob not malicious

but idk which scripts to transport

like i only need the guns system with the guns

[lost pebble]

it probably needs everything. and you can just wait for whoever gave you this to answer that for you

[agile fulcrum]

ye abt that....
he gave it to me abt a year ago

and i am just using it

because i quit at that time

idk his user id

i dont have his contacts

[lean lance]

yall just a quick question

[lost pebble]

damn

[rancid stirrup]

Wsp can someone tell me how I can correctly advertise my game

[lean lance]

for optimization's sake, would it be better to use a single module script for pathfinding or have the same function for pathfinding in one npc
for some more context: i got sum sorta horde stuff about npcs and it will follow a known goal

[agile fulcrum]

can i add u to my main game , il copy paste the guns and everything , can u check if its all good??

[gusty fog]

Modules' biggest strength is reusability. Reusability = less memory usage = more optimized

[lost pebble]

if multiple npcs are going to use the same pathfinding script, have it in a module and have the scripts in the npcs require that module. it'll be better for updating too

[lean lance]

alright thanks yall

[lost pebble]

im not about to check it for you

you're welcome

[lean lance]

oh yeah one more question, where should that module script be located in? i've seen it in replicated storage and sometimes server script service

[copper apex]

I put most of my modules in replicatedstorage

So i can use it for server and client

But that depends on the module ofc

[lost pebble]

if local scripts and/or server scripts are going to access it, ReplicatedStorage. if only server scripts are going to access it, ServerScriptService

[lean lance]

alright wonderful

thanks guys

[lost pebble]

you're welcome

[agile fulcrum]

its , alt
anyways whats a holomod?

[lost pebble]

idk

the script would probably tell you

[agile fulcrum]

This script appears to be for aligning a reticle (crosshair) on a gun’s projector sight in a first-person shooter using ACS (Advanced Combat System) in Roblox. Here's a breakdown:

what does this mean

like zooming in

[lost pebble]

did you chatgpt it?

[agile fulcrum]

yes :sobL

😭

[lost pebble]

yeah idk

[worn sigil]

what happend

[agile fulcrum]

i copy pasted everything
why do i see 3 hands

[lean lance]

your viewmodel and actual first person arms are showing

maybe you should use localtransparency modifier

[agile fulcrum]

how could i do that

[lean lance]

just a quick google search could be done

do you have any "first person arms" script?

[agile fulcrum]

i dont really know 😭
its a script made by someone like a year ago

i forgot i payed for it

and just found it

so i just copy pasted everything from there

on to the game

where would such a script me?

[inland bay]

@sacred wagon guess the line count

[sacred wagon]

Prob like 700

[inland bay]

ragh

double

[lost pebble]

use the search function i told you about

[somber vault]

Any devs here familiar with making apps?

[agile fulcrum]

but like what do i search

just first person arms?

[agile fulcrum]

is any of these the code for that

[round raven]

Yo anyone needs to hire a dev or a dev studio?

[lost pebble]

localtransparency

[agile fulcrum]

184 results 😭

[lost pebble]

idk what to tell you

[ashen moat]

yo guys

would i go about making feet flower trails with effects or by code and just spawn models as the character moves

[turbid torrent]

I recommend spawning models as the character moves as it's easier to do so, but make sure to clean up after a few seconds.

[ashen moat]

would it look good

i need it to look good too

[turbid torrent]

What kind of apps? Discord bots (also called apps), Roblox API tokens or what do you mean?

[turbid torrent]

I don't know, try it and see.

[ashen moat]

idk how to code so it would take a while

[turbid torrent]

If you're willing to hire somebody, just go with trails rather than cloning and later deleting a model object.

[ashen moat]

trails would look better right

?

[turbid torrent]

I don't know. Try it and see.

[ashen moat]

AH

alr bro thanks

[balmy wedge]

when she loading my string

[hollow thicket]

how to make a things like this

[shy dock]

forcefield material

[somber vault]

I mean like actual mobile apps. I have a program idea.

[turbid torrent]

Consider taking a look at #programming-hirable

[somber vault]

Thank you

[tacit fox]

How much should a pathfinding system be

[balmy wedge]

you can probably make one after 5 minutes of reading roblox docs

[hardy pilot]

A million

What do you mean by pathfinding system

Like you calculate the paths yourself?

[tacit fox]

like npc systems

[hardy pilot]

Huh

[tacit fox]

ok to be specific, a system for the monster to attack you when you go near it

[hardy pilot]

So basic enemy AI

[tacit fox]

yea

[hardy pilot]

probably worthless with how common that is

[tacit fox]

fr?

[hardy pilot]

I mean yeah theres definitely free ones

And a kajillion tutorials with exact steps to make one

[tacit fox]

NO LIKE I WANNA HIRE A LONG TERM ONE FOR OTHER STUFF AS WELL

[tacit fox]

so like how much should i pay

[hardy pilot]

Oh, in that case like 20$

[agile fulcrum]

5k

robux

[tacit fox]

5k robux?

[tacit fox]

alr ok

[agile fulcrum]

no 5k bananas

[hardy pilot]

5k kiwis

Delivered to their home

[tacit fox]

no ik but 5k robux is so little

@hardy pilot can i ask u for pricing of things

scripting systems

[hardy pilot]

Hiring children is cheap

[hardy pilot]

I dont know, I price it depending on how long and how much skill is required to make it

Like
Can any bum do this
How long does it take
Has it been made before

So in the case of a basic enemy with pathfinding for example:

Pretty much anyone can make it. Takes below a hour and has many previous references.

[tacit fox]

can i dm u for more specific sysytems

[hardy pilot]

Sure Im stuck in a train anyways

[vale atlas]

you seem like a pretty good developer
if we are talking about commissions, does hd help in that in any case. bc there are obv extremely good developers here.
whats the best way to get commissions in ur opinion

[hardy pilot]

Referals

[vale atlas]

so network matters

[hardy pilot]

Yeah

Comms you get from servers are most likely slave work

And have a high chance of getting ghosted anyways

[vale atlas]

appreciate the insight

[hardy pilot]

But, you might find someone that way or get refered to in the future

So it might be worth doing some

[vale atlas]

i get it, theres a good side to everything

[sturdy bough]

Hello guys

Does any know Island Resort Tycoon by any chance?

[crystal pilot]

local RmotorSpeed = BRmotor.AngularVelocity
will this work?

[sleek rose]

Whats the different between frontend and backebd

[crystal pilot]

one is doing frontend stuff other is doing backend stuff

or google if u want better response

some stuff is better to google

[atomic geode]

what do u guys think about this script? (i just hired a scripter) idk if this is ai or no

[crystal pilot]

100% AI

[atomic geode]

💀

wait

[crystal pilot]

i have used chatgpt engouth to know what is ai or not

[atomic geode]

did i just get scam?

[crystal pilot]

yup

[atomic geode]

lemme ask him

[wise turtle]

it is

[crystal pilot]

before hiring anyone check chatgpt first

[wise turtle]

this guy didn't even try to hide it

[crystal pilot]

who?

[median tree]

Reset your character and script will break

[crystal pilot]

tf

i thought timezones were per hour

[atomic geode]

...

[vale atlas]

tbf he did say he didnt know how to code

[atomic geode]

but he said he knows

he said it before

[crystal pilot]

then why did he ask for money?

how much u pay?

[twilit viper]

i! I’ve developed an advanced Tycoon script and I’m looking to sell it to serious studios or developers. The script includes automated price management, stock control, and dynamic inflation, making Tycoon games more engaging and profitable. ( i dont have the contact for ;.; )

[crystal pilot]

this isn 1850

you cant just sell people

[zenith night]

whats the point of using knit? my head hurts trying to set it up especially knowing that i have to do it for each individual project

[candid hare]

I have made some maps with scripts for my game. Some scripts is in the model(map). And some are outside of it. But when I now decide to make a map voting system(following a tutorial), it gets pretty complicated for me. The map voting system stores the other maps in serverstorage, which messes up the scripts targeting specific map events and behavior, how do i solve this? And are there any easy way to?

[kind mantle]

dawg 💀 , is grass green ahh 💔

[atomic geode]

what

[kind mantle]

like it's obviously ai

that's a simple script anyways so does it really matter though 😭

[atomic geode]

😭

[kind mantle]

he made it fully client side too? no remote events? 💔

[atomic geode]

ye 😭

[winter anchor]

definitely AI

[atomic geode]

ill see his work rn

[winter anchor]

only AI and psychopaths use "player" instead of "Player"

also all the useless comments he left

[atomic geode]

o

[winter anchor]

thats very common in AI

they leave grammatically correct errors that perfectly explain

the -- load combat stance animation comment

there is no reason to do that

comment

[atomic geode]

ill see if he scammed me or no cuz i gave him the fake animation of my game

[winter anchor]

ofc the script is hella basic, there is always a chance someone made it

but with the comments and "player" instead of "Player" i think it is unlikely

[atomic geode]

ill wait until he make me a combat

[winter anchor]

to be fair, if he makes a script that works, even if it is AI, at least u have to have some knowledge to produce something working with AI

AI isnt good at advanced tasks like combot systems

but still i would report him bc if he using AI, lowkey ur getting scammed bc u are paying the price for an authentic system

[celest cipher]

spongebob died in the jelly fields for your krabby patty. He defeated plankton. He defeated your sins. He did this for you and gave us the krusty krab. Spread the word.

[rain pier]

can anyone help with a trigger bot system ?
in my game

I have the whole detect thing but its just does not press any thing on my mouse

[frozen arch]

ik this is old but DAMN thats 1000% AI LMAO

💔

[somber vault]

bad script

[atomic geode]

😭

[charred kestrel]

Yo

I need some other scripters opinions

[somber vault]

?

[charred kestrel]

So a transition function is properly defined

It works when there is a mainmenu transition, however when I am trying to get that same transition function to play when there is a workspace teleporter, it won’t play (I have the remoteevent properly toggled)

[somber vault]

timing issues

or remotevent not firing

[charred kestrel]

I have it so it does

[charred kestrel]

Take a peak

So it appears that it plays

It’s just not showing it for the player

[umbral spindle]

Is there anyway to convert a humanoid description into a image simulair to a profile icon, or more indept like ropro sandbox has.

[static coral]

is it better to save playerdata as json encoded table in buffer or should i just save it as regular table and why

[static coral]

i think you need to create a rig with the humanoid description and then put it inside of viewport frame

[umbral spindle]

I gotta load it into a website tho

Html

https://tr.rbxcdn.com/1DAY-Avatar-052E9E9F415DA45B10E7D3014602020B-Png/420/420/Avatar/Png/noFilter

Kinda like this that's what I wanna achieve

But that I can make my own one's with humanoid description

[static coral]

oh idk then

[candid hare]

pagani*

[jagged swan]

how do I get an idea of a thumbnail that actually attracts players.

[latent gust]

Competitor research

[visual tree]

not true i be using player

[winter anchor]

u see how i said psychopaths

i get it, the player variable represents an object, not the actual class

but still, Player is so much more comfortable

also AI always uses player no matter what, no shortening to plr or nun

[charred kestrel]

Yo nerdy

Can u look up at my message above

[winter anchor]

what msg

[agile fulcrum]

can someone help me??

[visual tree]

fk no player looks better

[charred kestrel]

@winter anchor

[vagrant prism]

How do i through coding change things such as humanoid running animation or even add a humanoid event if thats possible?

[fresh dirge]

how do i open the error message thing at the bottom

and it also says stuff u printed

[latent gust]

F9?

[turbid torrent]

What is "initCT"?

I know what it's supposed to be, but what is it actually set to?

[charred kestrel]

Uhhhh

I think it’s just like

The generic camera

Like based on what it functions as

Cause I know the transition plays

The player just can’t see it

[vale atlas]

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

what

[sour vine]

cuz local script

[outer notch]

it looks correct, what do you have in outputs?

[mild hornet]

Yer maybe you using local script cause the script looks good

[summer vortex]

guys can some1 tell me what i means? Eg : local i,

[sour vine]

give us hints bro

[frigid thorn]

I'm not that good of a scripter, but I think you can change i to anything you want

[placid blaze]

what type of hint?

[sour vine]

where is the code

in script or local script

[placid blaze]

script

[sour vine]

where is the script

[placid blaze]

Serverscriptservice

[sour vine]

show output

[placid blaze]

im beginner to coding wdym with output

[frigid thorn]

Press view in studio, then find output

[sour vine]

in view

[placid blaze]

what do you wanna know from output

[sour vine]

play game and screenshot it

[frigid thorn]

Add prints to the script

Then show output again

[sour vine]

it should work

do u even know what the script does

[placid blaze]

yeah its for leaderstats

[supple spear]

yo chat sm1 here can code an eafc25 system

freekick system

not the whole game 😭

[sour vine]

robux?

[supple spear]

yep

[sour vine]

dm

[placid blaze]

look its showing clicks and rebirths but when i click the clicks dont show up there

he didnt even bother removing the comments 😭

[bleak glade]

nah it’s legit pay him well

[shadow oar]

why does this happen?

Learn what oop is and how to utilize it in coding.

[dark juniper]

no bro no

[gloomy kraken]

bro does that mean im a psychopath 😭

[copper apex]

Which debounce, func? pickup?

[gloomy kraken]

https://media1.tenor.com/m/Oos4YsJOsP4AAAAC/noscriptnohelp.gif

you only showed us the leaderstats script not the script that gives clicks

[chilly spire]

is a trading system enough to get scripter role ?

i'm working on a currency system with trading,coins and shop, but i'm worried that's not enough

[copper apex]

You probbably need to show more than just one system

Unless your system contains lots

[gloomy kraken]

i always wondered what single thing would take more than 200 lines without modules included

[chilly spire]

i made a coins framework module with a silver,bronze and gold in a table so it automatically converts the value u get into coins

[chilly spire]

that's the hard part tbh

just feels so unorganized

[gloomy kraken]

ikr

[copper apex]

200 lines is fine without modules

[gloomy kraken]

examples pls

[vast hornet]

did i just code a beizer curve

[copper apex]

Anything u can think of

[chilly spire]

my client sided script has no modules, so it has around 200 lines

[gloomy kraken]

my grid placement game took 100 lines :/

[vast hornet]

how 😭

[copper apex]

Show

[vast hornet]

i know someone who had like 5k lines for a grid placement game.

[gloomy kraken]

bc all my stuff is in modules

also because its really simple

[copper apex]

They prob have rlly advanced stuff

[soft flower]

hello i am working on a simulator game and i have it so the player walks ip to a object and it increases the counting variable, but it increases the value for all players when one player hits it, why is this happening

[gloomy kraken]

https://media1.tenor.com/m/Oos4YsJOsP4AAAAC/noscriptnohelp.gif

[soft flower]

fair, but any ideas as to what causes this

[young kettle]

How do I offset camera's orientation while still being able to freely look around

[dark juniper]

https://media1.tenor.com/m/Oos4YsJOsP4AAAAC/noscriptnohelp.gif

[dark juniper]

can’t you modify game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

If I’m not mistaken

[young kettle]

I need either some guide or specific method, everytime I tried to do it i ended up either locking the camera to one direction while the anim plays or the camera spins out

[dark juniper]

how

😭

wat scripts is bro touching….

[young kettle]

If you know viewmodel anims on youtube how the camera reacts to the movement, or when camera shakes because of an explosion, it moves but you can still look around

[dark juniper]

OH

you want to shake the camera?

dude just get a camera shaker module

[young kettle]

No I want the animation to influence camera

[dark juniper]

Someone already made a module for that

[young kettle]

I dont want a spring explosion module

[dark juniper]

the animation influencing the camera?

Explain

[young kettle]

hold on

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1211070703713910786/1349421766627430541/Desktop_2025.03.12_-_17.38.00.04.mp4?ex=67d45bf4&is=67d30a74&hm=da334dc76e6e1e9bfba278369a5f8ff84d89fbde617966a1727d1931bc976774&

skip a lil bit to the part where its in first person

the camera is attached to the head, so the rotations and shake moves the camera with it

[young kettle]

How I understood it is you get CFrame of the head and add it to the camera as an offset, but I couldnt get it to work

[dark juniper]

Gng

Just shake the camera

With a camera shaker

Why are U complicating it

😹

goofy ahh boy

[young kettle]

And if I make weapon inspection?

Shaking isnt gonna do it buddy

[dark juniper]

cant you just make multiple different shake types

Look all I’m saying is there’s probably better stuff you can spend your time on for your rpg

Rather than “animation based camera shaking”

[young kettle]

Im doing it for the sake of learning

Making it works gives me dopamine

and expands my knowledge

Plus its super freaking cool buddy

[dark juniper]

this seems kinda complicated tho and you don’t seem allat with scripting

But it gives you dopamine tho

So I can’t really argue it

My best piece of advice for you is to read the docs

[young kettle]

Ive tried to find dev forums about what im trying to make, its beyond what the docs provide

[dark juniper]

Hm

Well here’s my advice

[young kettle]

I cant even figure out what im looking for so i have to explain each time what I mean

[dark juniper]

your translating 3D movement to a 2D screen yea

[young kettle]

No

[dark juniper]

Well yea you want it to move the camera based on how the animation is moving

Is that not what you want?

[young kettle]

Camera orientation has 3 axis

[dark juniper]

wait wait wait

You want it to rotate the camera?

[young kettle]

Did u see the clip I sent

[dark juniper]

Watched the first part

not the second part

My thoughts are probably calculating its rate of change depending on its distance from the observer

So like if its moving at this speed, multiply it by the distance

Then apply that to the camera orientation

should probably give a similar effect

[young kettle]

I understand the principle

And I already told u the principle

[dark juniper]

I’m telling you how to code it

[young kettle]

you add the head orientation as an offset to the camera

[dark juniper]

Yea

Then youd group all the body parts

Of the character

And basically just set up observers to listen for their assembly linear velocity

[young kettle]

You are saying nonsense

[dark juniper]

lol no I’m not

this is nowhere near nonsense

[dark juniper]

Anyways when you understand what this means

You then wanna calculate their 3D offset from the head

And multiply it by their linear velocity

And apply that Vector3 or Cframe or whatever it is to the camera

That’s what I’d do

If you can’t do this, I’d personally just use a camera shaker module

@young kettle

[young kettle]

The principle is

Adding head orientation as an offset to the camera

what is allat u just spit out on me

[dark juniper]

You wanna shake the camera based on character movement

[young kettle]

There's a difference between animated camera and spring camera shake

which is random

[dark juniper]

So you naturally need to determine the limb speed

Yes?

When I move an arm quickly

Camera needs to shake a lot

Arm also moves in a direction too

Calculate the way the rotation and position changes

[young kettle]

Im not going to make a 20 like calculation which procedurally shakes camera depending on legs arms and ass speed

[dark juniper]

Well this is what you want Gng

Idk what to tell you

why don’t you wanna throw it back

Ingame

😂

just use the camera shaker if you don’t want it

thought you were lowkey more motivated than that…

[young kettle]

that would be inappropriate and unresponsible, considering there are many underage children, which make most of the player base

[young kettle]

that is right

[dark juniper]

Listen dude, I’m clearly way better at this than you

your choice to listen to me or not

[young kettle]

I choose to take the information however I want

[winter anchor]

weirdoooo

i legit always put the player variables as Player

idc that it’s not a class

and it’s an object

when learning lua, everyone cool did Player

that i watched anyways

[dark juniper]

Whatever helps you succeed

👍👍👍

[spring fog]

Do you guys know those carry a blank oboes and how when you spawn one player has a tray? How do you do that

[shadow sphinx]

Brand new at coding, W code?

local model = script.Parent
Part1 = model:WaitForChild("Part1")
Part2 = model:WaitForChild("Part2")
Part3 = model:WaitForChild("Part3")
while true do
    task.wait(0.5)
    Part1.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
    Part2.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
    Part3.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
end

[young kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/blackbeard-blackbeard-writing-taking-notes-writing-gif-17583038544116987898

[trim dove]

ok

[trim dove]

you couldve done while task.wait(0.5) do

and hmm

[shadow sphinx]

ok thx

[lost pebble]

looks good

[ivory lark]

generally good, i could be nitpicky if you want tho

[shadow sphinx]

Brand new to Roblox Studio programming, give me some feedback on my script.

KillBrick = script.Parent
KillBrick.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
KillBrick.Touched:Connect(function(Kill)
    local humanoid = Kill.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if humanoid then
        humanoid.Health = 0
    end
end)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Joined)
    local Name = Joined.Name
    print(Name.." Has joined")
end)

[ivory lark]

Try sticking to a naming convention, also local Name is only used once so you could just get rid of it and do print(Joined.Name.."Has joined")

[ivory lark]

also with luau you could do a thing like ```lua
print({Joined.Name} has joined)

this only works with luau iirc

also using local variables are generally the better option

so instead of KillBrick = script.Parent, do local KillBrick = script.Parent

[shadow sphinx]

Oh kind of like Python F strings, got it.

[shadow sphinx]

got it.

[ivory lark]

exactly!

[shadow sphinx]

alright thx @ivory lark

[ivory lark]

also as ive mentioned before, check out naming conventions and stick to one, it makes your code more readable

[shadow sphinx]

What's a naming convention?

[ivory lark]

Its basically how you name your variables, here are a few examples:

local PascalCase
local camelCase
local snake_case

there are a few different ones but these are the most popular ones

[brave island]

HTD
Do you usually code everything from scratch or use community assets sometimes

Like raycast hitboxes

[ivory lark]

scratch, I hate relying on other people's work because it could lead to unknown errors

that could take way more time to figure than just writing it myself

[brave island]

I might need to relearn lua

I mostly be animating

Lua syntax is pretty simple to understand and it isn’t that hard to dissect code so idk if it’s that necessary though

[shadow sphinx]

OHH thx so much!

[ivory lark]

codewars is an amazing site to improve your logical thinking when it comes to coding, i can recommend that

It helped me a lot w lua

[shadow sphinx]

im taking notes rn

[brave island]

All the basic tutorials be treating people like they’ve never seen coding which might be accurate

But I alr got some basic experience with JS and Java

[ivory lark]

yeah I hate tutorials, they get outdated really quickly too

[brave island]

Ion need to know what a variable is 😭

[ivory lark]

Best thing for you would be doing codewars & using roblox or lua's documentation when you get stuck imo

[brave island]

So I’m conflicted between just trying to find specific tutorials that I need and just dissecting the code and understanding it then using it

[brave island]

Is codewars lua aswell?

[ivory lark]

It has lua 5.3 as a supported language

[brave island]

Is it free 👀

[ivory lark]

codewars isnt about teaching tho, its about practicing

[ivory lark]

yup

[shadow sphinx]

I jst be using YT with a youtuber called Programming with Mosh. His good tutorials are for JavaScript and Python. I also use codecademy for HTML and CSS, also BrawlDev on YT for LuaU.

[brave island]

Honestly though if it’s just about variables and conditionals that are extremely basic or just logic in general idk if it’ll be that helpful

[ivory lark]

oh not at all

[brave island]

Most of my issues with luau is ion know the syntax or much about the engine

[ivory lark]

there are a bunch of exercises I cant do and Ive been doing lua for 6+ years

[ivory lark]

Oooh

theres a youtuber, let me find him

Suphi Kaner

he makes technical tutorials

He taught me quite a few things

[brave island]

A while back I made hitboxes using modules and an npc dialogue system somewhat but I might have forgotten most of the specific syntax and code

[brave island]

Ah I’ll save that aswell thanks

I been wondering if I should try to learn raycastinf

[ivory lark]

its simple, just use roblox's documentation, it has examples and everything

[brave island]

But I can’t find any tutorials not already using a premade raycast asset for melee and such

[shadow sphinx]

im 2 episodes away from completing a full beginners series and I barely know anything, my best code is what I showed before.

[brave island]

Keep it up g

It’s good especially if you have no former coding knowledge

[ivory lark]

yeah yt tutorials are generally bad, its mediocre scripters trying to explain basic things

[brave island]

I’m considering just finding videos with exactly what I need

Learning what I can from them

And moving on

[shadow sphinx]

I have decent backround in Python and know HTML, though HTML is a markup language.

[brave island]

Or I’m probably gonna drop the stuff because they’re unnecessary and forgot everything anyways

[shadow sphinx]

Yea, it gets the job done for beginners though.
