I can find devforum stuff but idk about roblox
thats also alright if the post aint too old
brave island
Roblox doc does a good job explaining it
But what if it’s something niche like the system utilizing the raycasts to make melee hitboxes work
ivory lark
Thats why you gotta do codewars, to build out your logic
ivory lark
and try to find a solution with your current knowledge
brave island
Something like this

fair enough, a game like that is fairly easy to script

Thats why you gotta implement it with your own logic
brave island
Would it work if u just made a tiny raycast at the start of the position and maybe have it extend to the position it will be in like a millisecond after
astral flume
So like on a scale of 1/10 how difficult do you think it would be to try and make a game like Rofighters
brave island
Then repeat that for the entire duration of the attack for example
That’s the only logic I could think of that would work for it
No real clue though

If I had to make a hitbox system I personally wouldnt use raycasts tbh

whats rofighters
brave island
It was pretty nice but hitboxes with raycasts seem more specific
Like if you wanted to target specific affected body parts
astral flume
whats rofighters
It's like a Roblox Tekken game
But with characters from different animes and stuff
ivory lark
Like if you wanted to target specific affected body parts
Oo I see
brave island
Overlayparams is more general

It's like a Roblox Tekken game
quite difficult

Plus I’ve done it before so I wanted to see what could be possible
With other things such as raycasts

Imma just assume that's a 7/10

it was because you wrote function(joined)

If you look closely, that code doesnt print a kill brick when a player joins a game, it prints out the players name when they join a server. That's what the {Joined.name} is for.

Guys, I am learning about datastores but I can't seem to get the code working, I...
It's returning nil because you have never used SetAsync to assign a value. Next, I recommend assigning the values to a table that can act as a cache to avoid datastore calls. Ideally you'd only need two datastore calls:
- one when the player joins the game; add the player's stats to the cache
- one when the player leaves; save their cache to the datastore
Note that with this setup, you'd have to update the player's cached stats rather than call the datastore every time.

somber vault
K so what do I do with acceleration
Smooth transitions linear movement, I still don't know how your calculations are off though
If it's jerky or jittery that's probably the reason
glacial condor
local direction = (NewCfr.Position.Position - CurCFrame.Position.Position).Unit
local speed = (Troop.Speed * (GridSize / Step)) / 0.28
local mass = Troop.Mass * 21.952
local requiredForce = mass * speed
Your multiplying mass by speed but force is mass times acceleration
Speed is the rate of change in position
Acceleration is rate of change in speed
glacial condor
yeah i get that wait
glacial condor
Backticks.
if i used this to get the acceleration woudnt it just be same?
local direction = (NewCfr.Position.Position - CurCFrame.Position.Position).Unit
local speed = (Troop.Speed * (GridSize / Step)) / 0.28
local mass = Troop.Mass * 21.952
local requiredForce = mass * speed
local Acceleration = requiredForce / mass
No
marsh rapids
use irl acceleration formula
somber vault
Requiredforce is equal to mass times acceleration
glacial condor
use irl acceleration formula
Acceleration = change of velocity ÷ time taken this?
marsh rapids
yea
glacial condor
well time shoud always be 1 seccond
so i guess that is a constant
so all i need is a change of velocity
What if i just used linear velocity instead of Vector force

LinearVelocity uses velocity
hasty mesa
for body velocity you give it a target velocity
honest zenith

Vector force uses Force
honest zenith
how do i explain whats my problem to anyone
the lower the maxforce of my bodyvelocity is the higher the dogsh at the end
when you land your direction changes for some reason
and im not pushing the player with anything else
i tried removing the humanoid but that didnt help
theres nothing that could change the players velocity
its like wind or sme shit
but theres no wind
i even removed the velocity from bodyvelocity
the player juts changes direction when the max force is low
got nothing else to try even

It seems to be a really basic sprint, what part are you confused about
Mainly just the transition into sprint. It seems as though the speed of the walking anim is tweened to increase along with the characters speed and FOV and then the sprint is played. I've tried this however in order to increase the animation speed I would have to access the direct walk animation that the player uses which would require me to write my own movement script and it would be very invasive to the default controls.

Why not just loop through the playlist?
haven't messed with loops a lot so I'm not really sure
I'm aware they exist I just haven't experimented with them yet
turbid torrent
local Tracks = workspace.MusicPlaylist["Music randomizer playlist"]:GetChildren()
for _, Loop_Track in Tracks do
if not Loop_Track:IsA("Sound") then continue end -- If it's not a sound, this loop would break. The continue key word skips the item and moves on to the next.
Loop_Track.Volume = 0
end
Loops are relatively easy. The syntax is tricky for first timers though.

im making a script where when i step on a button i get cash and theres a multipler and whn i press play it just startes going up and whn i step on it nothiing happens
it just keeps going up
heres script
local button = script.Parent
local playersService = game:GetService("Players")
local function checkPlayerOnButton()
while true do
for _, player in pairs(playersService:GetPlayers()) do
local character = player.Character
if character then
local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if humanoidRootPart then
if player.leaderstats.Cash.Value >= 100 then
player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value - 100
player.leaderstats.Multiplier.Value = player.leaderstats.Multiplier.Value + 1
end
end
end
end
wait(0.25)
end
end
checkPlayerOnButton()
warm hearth
local button = script.Parent
local playersService = game:GetService("Players")
...
No where in that script do you check for pressing on the button
trim dove
local button = script.Parent
local playersService = game:GetService("Players")
...
you have to call the function when the part is getting touched or remove the wait() and add a while task.wait(0.25) do loop which triggers the function

There is a way to use a mathematical transformation to reduce the entire dictionary to a single comparable value. Instead of iterating through keys and values, you simply compare two numbers, but I don't know if you're interested.

Ok it's a method based on cryptography, it's a bit complicated at first, but if I explain it to you it'll be easy to understand, are you ready?
hot wraith
Is*
It is exceptionally better in 95% of cases.
The idea is a principle of hashing on 2 dictionaries, in fact instead of browsing the 2 o(n), we transform them into number which allows a direct comparison is o(1) the only problem would be the order is messed up, but otherwise here it is, I can give you a code if you want to exploit it

You'd have to hash them every time you add a new element though
jaunty nymph
Depends. Do you need a basic shuffle or an optimized one that avoids bias?
Avoids bias probably
hot wraith
You'd have to hash them every time you add a new element though
You're right, hashing must be recalculated on every update, but in most cases, the trade-off is worth it. Unless you're modifying the dictionary thousands of times per second, the efficiency gain in direct comparisons outweighs the slight recomputation overhead.
jaunty nymph
Avoids bias probably
So my game has 144 tiles(there are 4 of each card)
hot wraith
yeh continue
I will give u a exemple, wait me i make the code.
remote gull
alr
hot wraith
Avoids bias probably
If you want to avoid bias, Fisher-Yates is the best choice. It ensures every permutation has an equal chance, unlike naive shuffling methods that favor certain orders. Want a quick code example too?

-- FUNCTION: Turns a dictionary into a unique number (so we can compare it fast)
local function hashDictionary(dict)
local hash = 0 -- Start with a neutral value
local prime = 31 -- Just a random prime number to make things more unique
for key, value in pairs(dict) do
-- Convert the key and value into numbers (because we need math-friendly data)
local keyHash = tostring(key):byte(1, -1) -- Convert key into numerical form
local valueHash = tostring(value):byte(1, -1) -- Same for value
-- Mix both values in a unique way so that no two different dictionaries end up with the same number
local combined = keyHash * prime + valueHash
-- Apply XOR operation (basically, a smart way to mix numbers)
hash = hash ~ combined
end
return hash -- At the end, we get ONE number that represents the whole dictionary
end
-- FUNCTION: Compares two dictionaries instantly (instead of looping through them)
local function compareDictionaries(dict1, dict2)
return hashDictionary(dict1) == hashDictionary(dict2) -- If the numbers match, they're the same
end
-- EXAMPLES:
local dictA = {a = 10, b = 20, c = 30}
local dictB = {a = 10, b = 20, c = 30}
local dictC = {a = 10, b = 25, c = 30} -- One value is different
print(compareDictionaries(dictA, dictB)) -- true (same content)
print(compareDictionaries(dictA, dictC)) -- false (different content)
-- 🧠 EXPLANATION:
-- Instead of looping through every key and value to compare two dictionaries,
-- we transform each dictionary into a single number (its "fingerprint").
-- Comparing two numbers is WAY faster than comparing every single element.
-- The only downside? If order matters in your dictionary, this method doesn’t preserve it hehee
I've tried to make it as friendly as possible, so it should make a nice guide hehe

I'd like a sample pls

Ok wait i will give u what it is and some examples
jaunty nymph
thx
rough vine
isnt this hard to add tho
gloomy kraken
isnt this hard to add tho
no
hot wraith
thx
Well so the definition
Fisher-Yates is an algorithm used to shuffle a list randomly and without bias. Here's a quick example: It guarantees that each element has an equal chance of being placed anywhere in the list, so thats all and now the code
-- FUNCTION: Fisher-Yates Shuffle (this will shuffle your list with no bias!)
local function fisherYatesShuffle(list)
-- Start from the end of the list and work backwards
for i = #list, 2, -1 do
-- Pick a random position in the list from 1 to i
local j = math.random(1, i)
-- Swap the current element (i) with the randomly picked element (j)
list[i], list[j] = list[j], list[i]
end
end
-- EXAMPLE: Let's shuffle a simple list of numbers
local myList = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
fisherYatesShuffle(myList) -- This will shuffle the list
print(table.concat(myList, ", ")) -- Prints out the shuffled list
-- EXPLANATION:
-- This method ensures every element has an equal chance of being anywhere in the list.
-- Unlike some simple methods that might favor certain orders, Fisher-Yates is fair and unbiased.
-- It shuffles "in place" which is also memory-efficient.
-- Same format as the old code I made, enough to understand, let me know if you have any questions.
thx

You can use anything in the list, not just integers. You can input strings (like card names), tables, or even custom objects. The shuffle will still work the same way, just as long as it's a list.

when do u think i can start commisions
It depends on how much you'd charge and what you can do. You also need to find your niche. Do you perform back-end or front-end work? Just get a hold of the skill you want to market yourself with first.

hi who need a dev and scripter dm me. i am voluntary.

HELP NEEDED, i can’t find a tutorial anywhere. i’ve got a UI pop-up after clicking a mannequin where users can put their clothing asset id’s in and then it should display on the mannequin. I don’t know what logic is supposed to convert it from an asset id to its raw template id as it does automatically when you paste an asset id in the shirts properties field. ??

i know it's not that serious, but i don't get the anti-VSCode sentiment i've been seeing here? it's useful because it enables using Github and open source tools. granted you don't have to use VSCode specifically for that, but VSCode in particular has support for Rojo and Luau with the installation of two extensions. and now with the installation of a third extension (mine), you can make your VSCode look like roblox studio too. ok off my soapbox 😉

They're wastes of time
It probably took me an hour to get rojo and GitHub set up, I think that's more than worth it.
With that being said, it's not necessary for every project especially if you're working by yourself. More useful for teams
native orchid
Rojo is a gateway to fiddling with your tools forever instead of making games

I wouldn't recommend it for beginner devs just getting started. I wouldn't recommend it for someone developing on their own who is just wanting to get their hands dirty making a game. For someone who knows what they're doing, it enables a lot of things that are useful for statistically increasing the quality of releases and reducing the likelihood of certain bugs.

I don’t use syntax highlighting, I don’t use autocomplete, I could do my work just as easily in notepad
I’m stronger than you and it shows
Most people who use VSCode do so because they’re embarrassed to be caught with Roblox studio open
carmine imp
I mean that's just flat out wrong but sure
native orchid
Do you tell your tinder dates you make Roblox games, or do you say you’re a “software engineer”
Most of you guys are ashamed by what you do and will do anything to hide it

fingeroo can you help
native orchid
With what?
viral fjord
the canvas isnt appearing to server
local sharedEditableImage = AssetService:CreateEditableImage({ Size = Vector2.new(400, 400) })
canvasImage.ImageContent = Content.fromObject(sharedEditableImage)
-- Handle drawing submission from client
publishEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, pixelBuffer)
print(player.Name .. " submitted a drawing")
print("Pixel buffer length: " .. buffer.len(pixelBuffer))
sharedEditableImage:WritePixelsBuffer(Vector2.new(0, 0), Vector2.new(400, 400), pixelBuffer)
end)
I assume pixelBuffer is a buffer?
viral fjord
this is the local script function
local function finishDrawing()
-- Read pixel data from the EditableImage
local pixelData = editableImage:ReadPixelsBuffer(Vector2.new(0, 0), Vector2.new(400, 400))
-- Fire RemoteEvent to send data to server
publishEvent:FireServer(pixelData)
end
So what's happening, the remote event never fires?
viral fjord
it fires, the debug works but there's no display
part > surfacegui > imagelabel
there's no error either
sleek idol
i dont think they replicate automatically
youll need to fire all the other clients with the buffer
and do it per client
native orchid
So a player draws on the canvas, that player sends the data to the server, the server writes those pixels to the canvas?

yes
native orchid
And then a second player doesn't see the updates?
viral fjord
nope, all players dont see it
native orchid
Only the server sees it?
sleek idol
nope, all players dont see it
because it doesnt replicate between other clients or the server
viral fjord
nothing, there's no display at all
sleek idol
like i just said, send the buffer to all clients

when do u think i can start commisions
Late ping, but I used to ‘do’ commissions without actually contacting the person
Basically, test that you can make a commission so you know that you can do others.
It’s good practice, and you can add it to a portfolio
viral fjord
so im gonna loop all players
native orchid

RemoteEvent:FireAllClients()

yes, or just remote:FireAllClients(buffer)

If you keep a reference in a variable and the script runs even after destruction, it is possible that the connection remains active.
This is rare, although for ImageButton types it is usually not a problem.

how does ecs work on client
lets say each ship has a position, health, and velocity
how would players change their own ships, but the server still have information on all of the ships
if each player has to change the mover constraints on their ships, how would you create than in an ecs that shares it across server and client without an insane amount of extra networking needed
like it cant just be moving ships to places, it also needs to react to the players input
but if i make the server take player input, theres going to be latency and delay which is going to make playing the game horrible
hot wraith

So basically, you want smooth ship movement without crazy networking overhead, while keeping the server as the authority, right? Are you looking for a solution with client-side prediction and server reconciliation, or do you have a different approach in mind?

i mean what ive been doing is just having the client have network ownership and full authority over it, but i want a server-authoratitive ecs system
right now client sets the movers and everything on its own heartbeat so theres no input delay

I'm not gonna take over the conversation here, but when you say ecs you mean entity component system, right? That's more of a game design pattern and less of a networking pattern

yes i do mean that. yes its a game design pattern so i need help making it work with networking since its not designed to do that
all of the examples ive seen are always 100% server side
and i see people glazing it so much but i cant wrap my head around getting it to work in a context where its not just the server doing the work
(which is the context where an actual game works)
spark vapor
first and foremost
you plan to make the client spawn their own ships so that the server isn't replicating that information to them, right?
or at the very least have the client delete the ship the server spawns for them and replace it with their own
because basically, all you really need to do is have the server send information about each player's ship to everyone periodically
you can increase the interval between when the server sends data if you can implement a system to predict where ships will end up with decent accuracy on the client side
wide sparrow
wait so then should i make the server system only to handle the AI ships
since all the other ones would be player ships
spark vapor
you still need an authoritative server
the best way to do that is to have clients send only their input data and have the server use that to control a server-only copy of the client's ship

ohh but one of the components would be "isAI" and if its not ai then the server doesnt replicate that ship to the other clients? because the client that owns that ship is already replicating the ship on its own (with network ownership and all)
