[spark vapor]

don't think about components yet

[wide sparrow]

and if it is an AI ship then it does replicate to everyone else

[spark vapor]

it's best to figure out networking before you worry about that

[wide sparrow]

ok

i was thinking of using isAI component as a flag or smth

if its triggered, then replicate the ship, otherwise leave it be because A client is already controlling and replicating it

[spark vapor]

If you really want to use ECS here, though I think OOP with composition would be the simpler solution for small projects, then you should create an entity that can be controlled by either an added player control or AI control component

[wide sparrow]

alr

a simpler question though how would i handle weapons

like in a system i dont understand how that would work

[spark vapor]

well, what can your game's weapons do?

[wide sparrow]

because it seems like that would bring in a layer of OOP which i thought ecs was supposed to avoid

so each ship would have:

hardpoints

• 1
• 2
  -3

hardpoint has a weapon connected to it, weapons can be literally anything (60+ different types)

how do you run all that in a system

[spark vapor]

hm

I'm assuming you won't just have a single ability for each weapon with or without a cooldown?

[wide sparrow]

wdym

[spark vapor]

I'm just trying to get a sense of how complex a system you'd need

is each weapon simple enough that a little bit of inheritance would help, or would it be too restrictive?

[wide sparrow]

right now i just loop through, when player clicks, tell server to create a railgun projectile at position and then use my projectile system to handle the rest

each weapon really only does one thing though

fires SOME sort of projectile (varies obv)

thats where i start seeing OOP in ECS and thats where the problem starts

if a gun is an entity, then railgun or coilgun are two "descendants"

in that case would i need to redeclare everything

as "RailgunProjectile" "CoilgunProjectile"

[spark vapor]

just so you know I need to leave in like 10 minutes

[wide sparrow]

ye ye dw

[spark vapor]

it sounds like your projectiles have unique enough behavior that you should consider using OOP for them as well

also, I find OOP is fine in a ton of situations so long as you never inherit more than once or twice at most

since I have to leave really soon let me just give you some good reading
https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/contents.html

these are the main chapters you should focus on if you choose to

[stone yarrow]

why tf is it self hitting 99x

literally way too much

[wide sparrow]

will do

[spark vapor]

command not so much as the others, it just helps you build a layer of decoupling between your components

[wide sparrow]

how do you do oop in lua though

am i gonna have to use metatables

[spark vapor]

probably

you only need to know __index

[brave island]

codehs java inheritance boutta make me crash out bro

ts is not coding its paperwork at this point

😭

ISTG IVE WRITTEN THE SAME CODE WITH DIFFERENT VARIABLE NAMES LIKE 7 TIMES AT THIS POINT

[wide sparrow]

isn’t roblox oop unwieldy though

since it wasn’t meant for it

like i read a ton about losing data when. sending over the network

table reatachment and all

Learn how to script or learn to accept the garbage your AI outputs

[still frigate]

I have a system where you can control a ball inside it and it uses Allign orientation and Angular velocity to move the ball. I also made it that you can jump too by pressing space for this I used Vector Force however you cant roll forward while in the air with the jump until you fall back on the ground is there a way to fix this?

[native orchid]

Yeah there’s a way to fix that

[still frigate]

How?

[native orchid]

Impossible to say without seeing your code

[sacred wagon]

Metatables arent saved when sending over the network

Id argue metatables r actually best if u want objects

[slow eagle]

local fadeFrame = script.Parent
local starterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local uiElements = {} -- Table to store UI elements

-- Function to hide all UI elements except FadeFrame
local function hideUI()
for _, gui in pairs(fadeFrame.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if gui:IsA("Frame") and gui ~= fadeFrame then
gui.Visible = false
table.insert(uiElements, gui) -- Store hidden UI elements
end
end
end

-- Function to show all UI elements
local function showUI()
for _, gui in pairs(uiElements) do
gui.Visible = true
end
uiElements = {} -- Clear the table
end

-- Hide UI when FadeFrame becomes visible
fadeFrame:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Visible"):Connect(function()
if fadeFrame.Visible then
hideUI()
end
end)

-- Show UI when player clicks FadeFrame
fadeFrame.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
fadeFrame.Visible = false
showUI()
end)

[sacred wagon]

Since when u recieve the object u can simply setmetatable the metatable back to the table

[native orchid]

Go to #code-help this channel is for people who know what they’re doing

This is truly bizarre code

did you use chatGPT or something

[still frigate]

nah this is just like cut up the actual scripts are way longer i just sent the parts that move the ball

im trying to use chat gpt tho to fix the problem ts is useless

[native orchid]

Why not just apply an impulse to the ball when the user jumps

[still frigate]

Because its a two player obby and if i did that theyre be no coordination or anything since the scripts moving for them

One player controls the ball one player controls the jump

[copper apex]

U used chatgpt thats whats wrong

[native orchid]

I mean, instead of using a VectorForce

[vale trench]

guys can someone make me a script to every second jump more? pls

[native orchid]

while true do
  player.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower *= 2
end

[still frigate]

Wdym

[vale trench]

were do i put it

[native orchid]

In a localscript somewhere

[vale trench]

where

[native orchid]

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

while true do
    humanoid.JumpPower *= 2
end

Put this in a local script inside StarterPlayerScripts

[chilly scroll]

juo

[unique mango]

nobody in #code-help is giving a shit about my problem

--

Ok! so! I have a bunch of playable characters in a game.. they all use the same animatione except for 1.
2 Of the characters only play the animation for the person playing as the character, noone else can see them.
There are no anomalys between the 2 compared to the others, the animation WAS uploaded correctly as it works for every other instance of its existence in MANY more characters that DO have working visible animations.
and the script itself is literally just roblox's local "Animate" found in the player with the needed ids.
It works but only for some rigs, I can't figure out what's wrong with mine.

Help would be GREATLY appreciated ^^

(please)

[chilly scroll]

uh

[unique mango]

please

I'm at the LARGEST roadblock

[chilly scroll]

OK WAIT

It sounds like you're dealing with a tricky issue! Based on what you've described, here are some potential causes and solutions to explore:

1. LocalScript vs. ServerScript:

   • If the animations are being handled by a LocalScript, they will only be visible to the player running the script. To make animations visible to all players, you need to use a ServerScript to replicate the animations across all clients.

2. Animator Placement:

   • Ensure that the Animator object is a descendant of the Humanoid or AnimationController within the character model. If it's not, the animations won't replicate properly to other players.

3. Animation Priority:

   • Check the priority of your animations. If the priority is set too low, other animations might override it. You can adjust this in the Animation Editor by setting the priority to "Action" or higher.

4. Animation IDs:

   • Double-check that the animation IDs are correctly assigned in the script. Even a small typo can cause issues.

5. Rig Compatibility:

   • Ensure that the rigs for the problematic characters are compatible with the animations. Differences in bone structure or naming conventions can cause animations to fail.

6. Publishing and Permissions:

   • Verify that the animations are published correctly and that the permissions allow them to be used by other players. Sometimes, animations set to "private" won't work for others.

7. Debugging in Studio:

   • Use the Play Test feature in Roblox to debug the issue. Check the output window for any errors related to the animations or scripts.

@unique mango

[unique mango]

debunk time

[unique mango]

1 - Doesn't matter because 90% of the characters WORK with that script
2 - I believe so as there are no changable properties within the Animator script and it's there and should be functioning
3 - no sorry same issue as 1 why would it just stop working lol No other animations even have the ability to override it, because NO ANIMATIONS are playing at all.
4 - nope
5- if it works locally it's already compatible
6 - iam the owner and I uploaded them to the group, no coding or script-help errors should have occured
7 - nothing in the slightest because roblox hates me.

see the shithole im in now?

[chilly scroll]

I hear your frustration, and I can see that you've been thorough in diagnosing this—sometimes these platform quirks can feel maddening! Let’s get a bit more creative to pinpoint the issue since the usual culprits seem to be ruled out:

1. Rig Inconsistencies: Even though it works locally, it's worth checking if there are any subtle differences in the rig hierarchy or naming conventions. Sometimes a joint or part might be out of place, which can lead to inconsistent behavior when syncing across players.

2. Animation Weighting or Constraints: If there are constraints or weighting applied to certain parts of the rig, it might affect how the animation plays or renders for others. Double-check if anything like this is accidentally active.

3. Replication Glitch: If this is truly a Roblox-side issue, it could be a replication glitch tied to these specific rigs. You could try duplicating one of the rigs that works correctly and substituting it into the scenario with the problem rig to see if it replicates properly. This might help narrow it down.

4. Cache or Asset Delivery Issues: Rarely, a bug in Roblox’s asset delivery system can cause animations to not load properly for other players. Try re-uploading the animation with a slightly altered name or ID to ensure it’s treated as a fresh asset by the system.

5. Testing with Controlled Variables: Create a simplified test game where only the problematic characters are loaded with the same animation and script. This eliminates the possibility of interference from other assets or scripts in your main game.

6. Reach Out to Roblox Support: If you’ve exhausted all debugging steps and believe it to be a Roblox issue, reporting this directly to Roblox’s support or developer forums might yield insights. Other developers may have encountered and resolved similar issues.

Let me know if you want to dig deeper into any of these ideas—or if we need to approach this from a totally different angle! 😊

SO

hope that helped at least

[unique mango]

1 - no since they are all taken from the same source there should be no issues with that general connection
2 - that makes no sense weight can't affect local affection, if it works it works without issue. if it doesn't others can't. Otherwise my problem would be different
3 - I'm using roblox's own rigs and accesorys so that would make no sense either, if it works with others I really don't see a reason how it's not somehow my problem
4 - its the same idea that works for other hosts, still kinda bullshit ;-;
5- yep and nothing. Animations remained unfunctional unsurprisingly due to the animation overload not even being an issue in the first place
6- they didn't respond to my account deletion appeal for my 2012 roblox account, what makes you think they'll give a shit about my tiny fucking ass game that is making them jackshit and is NOT their problem in the actual slightest.

[chilly scroll]

Alright, I feel your pain here—this sounds like one of those maddening, inexplicable bugs that make you want to throw your keyboard out the window. Let’s try to dig deeper into the abyss of Roblox quirks:

1. Animation IDs: Even though you’ve ruled out script issues, have you double-checked that the animation IDs are correctly assigned in the problematic rigs? Sometimes a tiny mismatch can cause chaos.

2. Humanoid State: If the rigs are using Humanoids, ensure they’re not stuck in a state that prevents animations from playing (e.g., PlatformStanding or Seated). You could try forcing the state to Running or Idle before playing the animation.

3. Animation Priority Conflicts: I know you said no other animations are playing, but could there be a hidden script or plugin interfering? Sometimes, rogue scripts can override animations without being obvious.

4. Re-upload the Animation: I know it’s a pain, but re-uploading the animation with a new ID might force Roblox to treat it as a fresh asset. It’s a long shot, but it’s worked for others in similar situations.

5. Rig Debugging: Even though the rigs are from Roblox, try swapping out the problematic ones with a working rig and see if the issue persists. If it does, it might be tied to something obscure in the rig’s setup.

6. Console Logs: Have you checked the Developer Console (F9 in Studio) for any errors or warnings when the animation fails to play? Sometimes Roblox spits out cryptic but useful hints.

you're literally using ai.

I literally don't know.

I've lost TRACK

[chilly scroll]

focus on the last one alright

so uh

[spark vapor]

OOP is totally fine

no, lua wasn't explicitly meant for that

lua wasn't explicitly meant for anything besides really basic scripting, not entire game systems (like roblox has done)

...but at the same time it's a language that was designed to be extremely flexible

when you're sending data over the network, it's rarely a good idea to ever pass an object into a remote event anyways

but once you understand that data is encoded and decoded to and from JSON it becomes a little clearer what's actually happening

certain data types simply don't get encoded + instance references can turn up nil if objects you're sending to/from the client/server don't exist on both sides

[mystic grotto]

indeed, but it's not bad to use different paradigms. For example, its good to use ECS for core game logic, OOP for UI elements and functional for the rest

[late summit]

yo ngl i need help

[spark vapor]

yeah shlawg I use everything

I'm largely self taught and just do whatever I feel is best

[late summit]

how do i change the characters avatar via a script without naming all the models startercharacter?

[mystic grotto]

this is particularly problematic if you try and send an OOP object over the wire; all the metamethods attached to it don't get transmitted so you need to re-setmetatable on it
You can do that, or just use a vanilla table

[spark vapor]

yeah, my approach whenever I've needed to send an object over is to just create my own serializing and unserializing functions (it just encodes the object's table to json so is completely redundant)

[spark vapor]

a link to some kind of annoying to use API here
https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/HumanoidDescription

@late summitthe simpler answer is to test your game, copy your character, then stop the game and paste it into the workspace

[late summit]

the thing is im using custom characters

[spark vapor]

that way you can see how accessories and clothing are set up

[mystic grotto]

that's not even the issue though, you can't serialise a function (i think technically you could but its really not a good idea)

so you can't fully serialise an oop object

[late summit]

like custom as in there aint the classic roblox avtar

[spark vapor]

yeah I know

[mystic grotto]

you can only serialise its data which is easy to do; you have to then unserialise and then set metatable on it before using the methods or just call functions that take it in as an parameter

[spark vapor]

I've never had unique functions stored inside tables that I've needed to send over before

reconstructing the object with the same properties on the other side is enough for me, and if that approach doesn't work I just think of something else which may or may not fully fit existing paradigms

[mystic grotto]

this is the standard way to go about it tbh

[spark vapor]

so

I've had this exact issue

even if you UV map your models to fit roblox's shirt and pants textures, guess what? There isn't a single instance with an image ID you can change at run time to match clothing IDs besides decals

[late summit]

oh what, how about just overwriting the entire avatar, replacing the avatar with a model

not changing any clothes but the entire body

[spark vapor]

I haven't found or discovered the rules for how humanoids apply clothing in the model, so any attempts I've made at replacing humanoid parts with my own have failed

[late summit]

dang i see, well thanks for your help either way!

[true linden]

Hey, professional programmers, when you start a complex project, do you usually have an idea of what to write right away or do you need some time to think about it too? And a question about the structure of different scripts. Is there a certain format and you know how and where to write this or that script or do you also think how to arrange everything conveniently in the project?

[mystic grotto]

yeah i'd say so but i'm pretty new to using it for roblox dev

[graceful breach]

why using the Motor6D, when i edit the C0 proprety in server script, it changes to another value different than what I set ?
i dont understand ?
i set CFrame.new(0, 0, 1.5) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0), math.rad(90), 90)
only for orientation, it changes the values, i got this :
0.002, 90.003, 116.623

[native orchid]

For the Y coordinate that can be explained likely by the imprecise nature of floating point numbers

For the Z coordinate, CFrame.Angles expects radians, and you fed it degrees

[graceful breach]

aah yh ur right

[native orchid]

print(math.deg(90) % 180) --> 116.620...

If you were using my editor plugin you almost certainly wouldn't have made this mistake

[graceful breach]

however, for another one :
i set : CFrame.new(0, 0, 1) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90), math.rad(-90), math.rad(0)
but i got:
0, -90, -90

[native orchid]

This is slightly more confusing and has to do with the order you're applying rotations in

Try this instead;

CFrame.new(0, 0, 1)
  * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(-90), 0)
  * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90), 0, 0)
  * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, 0)

[graceful breach]

but for example: y * 0 wil give 0, not ?

[native orchid]

Yes

You typically want to apply rotations in order of Yaw, Pitch, Roll, or Y, X, Z

[graceful breach]

what ? it worked !

[native orchid]

Yeah of course it did, I'm based

[graceful breach]

your genius !

[graceful breach]

[native orchid]

Got keyboard sounds working

[mighty escarp]

What do you think about the combination lock? Added tween to all dials and a cool effect, sounds and some back end fixes.

[gritty grove]

nice stuff, i notice that the lock sorta waits to disappear which is the most noticable negative in this clip, other than that it seems great

[mighty escarp]

It waits because I wanted to make it drop to the ground like remove anchor but forgot and left it like that :))

So it should unlock > drop > dissapear

It think that would make a cool effect

[gritty grove]

yeah that would probably be coolest

or instead of disappearing you could make it lie there if you want

[mighty escarp]

Yeah but I will have many lock into the game and it might lag from them or idk, they don't really need to be visible after unlock

I try to make a Horror Escape Room Co-Op game

[somber vault]

Who needs help with there game?

[gritty grove]

if you reanchor it shouldnt lag

just anchor and remove collision like 1 second after it hits ground prob

[mighty escarp]

Yeah cool

And I used no free models

even the lock is made by me and not in blender, in studio 💀

[gritty grove]

💔

[mighty escarp]

These are the dials :)))

[gritty grove]

you are good at modelling atleast

scripting just takes time to optimize it seems good tho

[mighty escarp]

Yeah! also everything is server sided

No local scripts, just for gui and camera

But the servers recons all the locks, their combination and everything

[subtle lodge]

local speed = script.Parent

local function onTouched(OtherParts)
local character = OtherParts.parent
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

if humanoid then
    humanoid.WalkSpeed += 10
end

end

speed.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

how do i make it so it doesnt keep stacking speed and can only be touched once

[gritty grove]

i like doing that for 90% of things

[mighty escarp]

I think the fastest, just set the speed to the desired one:))

so like

[obtuse tundra]

A hand sign that is really dark

[mighty escarp]

local speed = script.Parent

local function onTouched(OtherParts)
    local character = OtherParts.parent
    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

    if humanoid then
        humanoid.WalkSpeed = 26
    end
end

speed.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

because the humanoid walks with default 16

[subtle lodge]

o so just remove the +

[mighty escarp]

No

So the humanoid normally walks with 16 speed

Because you know that, u just make the brick to set the speed to 26

[subtle lodge]

o

[mighty escarp]

16(normal speed) + 10(what you wanted to add) = 26

how did you guys learn how to script? any video recommendation?

[gentle venture]

Damn why is it so hard to find a scripter for hire that actually knows how to script games not just a single system

[molten plinth]

Most scripters fall into one of two categories:
-commisson workers: specialize in comms, so they don’t worry about making full games
-game devs: know how to make games, but either don’t do comms (me) or working on passion projects that they enjoy (me..?) or they’re working on their own projects.
-# hope you enjoyed my rant

[gentle venture]

true

[native orchid]

Because your budget is too small

[warm pumice]

You gotta know a lot of people before you can find these programmers

Generally high profile programmers hop around their connections, with people reaching out to them, not reaching out to other people usually

You also need a high budget, atleast 2-3k usd or 700k robux depending on the size of your game

If youre wonderign why theres solution and answer, solution is an image of the answer, answer is the typed version, since I do need to check if the player typed the right answer.

[native orchid]

Seems fine

[shadow sphinx]

Day two of scripting, W/L code?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) -- Player joins, it gives them a leaderstat.
    local Folder = Instance.new("Folder") -- Creates a folder that stores the leaderstats and sets a variable for it
    Folder.Name = "leaderstats" -- Sets the folder name
    Folder.Parent = Player -- Sets the folder's parent as the player, as the player has the leaderstat
    
    local Coins = Instance.new("IntValue") -- Creates an int value that stands for the amount of the leaderstat there is
    Coins.Parent = Folder -- Sets the intValue parent as the folder
    Coins.Name = "Coins" -- Gives the intValue a name
end)

[lost burrow]

chatgpt did great on this one

except for the fact that coins is parented before properties are set

[shadow sphinx]

wym

it isnt AI

[bleak glade]

old scripter was so bad for the game i was working on you could just loop kill the server as long as you had remote spy

just run this and everyone would die

[native orchid]

based

doesn't the code look better like this, though?

I think it would run at least twice as fast if it looked like that

[errant walrus]

jokes aside, this doesnt hurt ur eyes

[native orchid]

You don't like green?

I've got you covered, just type color followed by either a color keyword or an HSV vector and it'll change the display

[errant walrus]

which code editor is this

[native orchid]

Doesn't have a name, I just wrote it

[errant walrus]

wait

[native orchid]

It's a roblox studio plugin

[native orchid]

Here's a video of it in action

[errant walrus]

does anyone use external code editors on roblox scripting?

[native orchid]

Yes lots of people, mostly VSCode and mostly because they're ashamed of being roblox devs and wouldn't be caught dead with Studio open

VSCode looks more like "real work" to your dad when he peeks into your goon cave

[subtle lodge]

Just learned the basic language but don’t know how to actually use them to make a game

[native orchid]

What kind of game would you like to make?

[abstract scarab]

i mean vscode can be better for big projects to have a more organized workflow? you can use git and work with big teams

also vscode plugins

[native orchid]

What big team has ever made anything good?

[hasty mesa]

It's more because external editor provide more features then Roblox without the only downside of having to press one extra key to playtest

[waxen echo]

Dang thats bright

[native orchid]

added a new command just for you

Idk if i would code with that

I like it when certain syntax is highlighted

I could add syntax highlighting

but I probably won't because it makes you weak

[proper flicker]

how could I implement teleporting into my anticheat with the issue that players may lag, I tried by setting network owner ship to the server on the players root before the teleport and an attribute which would disable it. then after the teleport I set the attribute back to enabled so they can be detected, however this doesnt seem to work
cuz after players die I teleport them back to their tycoon plot but how do I prevent the anticheat from considering this cheats cuz I would like to add more teleports to the game but the anticheat would detect them

local function TeleportPlayerToSpawn(tycoonTemplateClone, player)
    local SpawnLocation = tycoonTemplateClone:FindFirstChild("SpawnLocation")
    player:SetAttribute("CanCheat", false)

    while not player.Character do
        task.wait(0.1)
    end
    
    player.Character.HumanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)

    if player.Character and SpawnLocation then
        player.Character:PivotTo(SpawnLocation.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0))
    end
    
    print(math.clamp(player:GetNetworkPing() * 4, 0, 3))
    
    task.wait(math.clamp(player:GetNetworkPing() * 4, 0, 3))
    
    player.Character.HumanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(player)
    
    player:SetAttribute("CanCheat", true)
end```

I tried adding a wait but it didnt help only sometimes it works

[thick sail]

Any scripters who can give me tips on scripting a Quest manager?

I'm struggling a bit with monitoring the functions that update the quests (coroutines) and keeping an index of the quests. Do you just have a long list of quests that you index by ID every time you need to access information? (target, reward, etc) How do you manage the signals that update quest progress?

[soft vault]

CRAZY

[soft vault]

brod question but valid, idk too

[thick sail]

It's a bit broad for sure

That's kind of the problem, I'm not sure about which way to focus this

[soft vault]

you def need somekind of module script fo sure, a table/dictionary to store each quest

maybe store plr's data as dict on server wehn joined
like PlayerData[plr.userid] = {level = loadedlevel,.....
quest=924829}

u def need to take a blind path to understand making it if you have never made it

[thick sail]

Yeah I'm currently storing a single dictionary

I've already made the whole basic framework actually

I created types for the Objectives (each individual one has a signal that updates the counter OR is directly updated when the player's profile data updates), the Quest in the index, and the Quest that's saved in the player's data

I've gone full out fucking crazy with the objective and quest types 💀

[soft vault]

types break my brain and am never going to use them , no clue wat export is but it looks abt right

[thick sail]

Yeah dw about the export

It's just for defining them

It allows you to see what options each type has when you create a new one

When indexing

but id rather have fun with someone new

[lunar sky]

cool! then good luck, with finding a new scripter

[carmine imp]

here's a snippet of how i'm updating the quest progress. and a snippet of my QuestRegistry which is where quests are defined

[thick sail]

This is really interesting

What does your newFromRegistry function do?

I'm interested to see what information about the quest you're saving to your data store

I assume it's not the whole table

[carmine imp]

basically, the arguments slightly differ if i'm instantiating a Quest object from the database (player already has quest) vs. player doesn't already have the quest so they're cloning it from the Registry.

[thick sail]

So you clone everything? Might end up doing that

[quaint pine]

hey

i want someone with good english accent to read out loud a script pls lmk if someones willing to help for free!

[thick sail]

Seems like passing quests as metatables really simplifies the workflow too

I think I'm gonna do that

[somber vault]

i saw that

[thick sail]

It's not like players are gonna have that many active quests anyway, it's not too much data

[carmine imp]

yeah, I have "static" quests defined in my QuestRegistry and I clone them when a player accepts a quest

[thick sail]

I've split what the player saves and what the registry contains

It's way more annoying to work with tbh

Better just to combine them

I did it to reduce the data I have to save lol, not worth it

[thick sail]

Nice

This will allow me to pass the quests as self referencing tables too

[carmine imp]

export type SerializedQuest = {
    id: string,
    npcModelName: string,
    requirements: { SerializedRequirement },
    name: string,
    startTime: number?,
    state: string, 
    rewards: any,
}

rewards is any because I haven't actually coded quest rewards yet. You wouldn't necessarily need to store rewards, you could also have a static definition for them in the code.

[thick sail]

That's true

How do you handle "updating progress", if I may be so persistent to ask

How do you link up RBXScriptSignals with the objectives

[cosmic dagger]

who is good developer

i try to do a battlegrounds

so i need help

[thick sail]

I've done the raw code but it's so bloated and confusing

[ripe garnet]

Can I hire u long term

[static coral]

i havent been following along but why not just use custom signals

[cosmic dagger]

you want?

[thick sail]

I'm currently working on a big project

I can't

[thick sail]

I'm using a Signal util by sleitnick

[static coral]

oh

[thick sail]

Another question is how to implement them

local function connect(...)
        if coroutine.status(obj) == "dead" then
            index += 1
            current_progress = 0
            coro = LoadObjective(questID, objective_index)

            if not coro then
                Disconnect(player, questID)
                --Completed quest
                PlayerDataService.UpdateState({action = "SetQuest", questID = questID, claimed = false})
                --self:OnComplete(player)
                return
            end

            event = empty
            obj = coroutine.create(coro)
            ActiveObjectives[player][questID] = obj --No index required!

            --self:OnProgress(player, current_progress, index)
        end

        local ok, prg, evt = coroutine.resume(obj, ...)

        if not ok then 
            error(prg)
        end

        if prg and current_progress < prg then
            start_progress += prg - current_progress

            ActiveQuests[player][questID] = start_progress

            current_progress = prg

            --self:OnProgress(player, current_progress, index)
        end

        if event == evt then return end

        if connection and connection.Connected then 
            connection:Disconnect() 
        end

        if not evt then 
            task.delay(QuestService.TaskDelayInterval, connect, player, 0) 
            return 
        end

        connection = evt:Connect(connect)
        event = evt
        playerConnection[player][questID] = connection
    end

This is the current shit I have

[static coral]

maybe event for objective updated and objective completed or smth?

[thick sail]

I'm basing this on coroutines

Because I need to actively listen for signals firing

And evaluating if an objective/task has been completed

[carmine imp]

your quest manager should have some sort of function where you connect all of your signals.

i recommend not using coroutines for this

[thick sail]

Yeah I wanna move away from this

I loosely followed an old module for this section

I'm not convinced

This is the part I'm really intrigued about

[cosmic dagger]

@thick sail u have some friend for be dev

[thick sail]

Unfortunately no

[thick sail]

Isn't that a bit tedious for every single quest?

Don't you have to rewrite that for every signal...

[cosmic dagger]

you want join for be member

is new

the discord server

[thick sail]

I have that signal as a value inside my Quest type

Objective*

I can definitely re-implement this without the need for coroutines though I think

Replace it with callbacks maybe

Just handle the signal connections so they're initialised when an objective is started, disconnect them when the objective is completed

[carmine imp]

you will have to connect one event per type of quest requirement your game can have.

for example, if one of your objective types is "Defeat # of enemy" you will have one signal connected for defeating enemies.
then say you created a new type of objective for your game in the future, idk maybe "Collect # of item" you would connect a signal for itemReceived and call ProgressQuestsOfType with itemReceived and the item passed in.

no matter what approach you go with, you will have to write one type of way to progress a requirement type per requirement type

[thick sail]

I have evaluation functions already set up

Of 4 distinct types

Score (reaching any specific value), Value (reaching a goal), Event (event triggers) and Timer (time passing)

I have a 5th for player data stat updates but that's handled separately

What I'm hoping to do is being able to read the script signal passed in the quest and auto process it

[thick sail]

Without creating this specific connection

Cause if I had 100 quests that'd be nasty

Your general approach is really good though, I'm gonna get rid of this coroutine nonsense

[carmine imp]

i don't have to do this for each quest, just for each type of quest requirement. My QuestManager loops through all active quests and checks the data passed in to see if it matches the criteria to progress the quest, and does it if so. but sounds like your approach is a bit different

[thick sail]

Oh

[thick sail]

So in this case, "enemyDefeatedEvent" is a type of quest requirement? Interesting

[carmine imp]

yes, exactly

[thick sail]

Hmm

[carmine imp]

i'm listening for everytime an enemy is defeated, checking all active quests to see if their requirement matches that enemy, and progress it if so

[thick sail]

Got it

[carmine imp]

when i add quests for collecting items, i'll have an event when an item gets added to the player's inventory and check that in the same way and etc for all different types of requirements (sounds like u got it)

[thick sail]

How do you sync this with the player data you later save in the store?

That's my last question lol

[thick sail]

Yep that makes sense

[carmine imp]

each quest has any number of Requirements. Requirements store their type when saved in the db.
right now my requirements only support defeating a type of enemy, but if i were to generalize this i would probably have a RequirementType enum defined in the code and stored in the db as well as an ObjectType field stored in the DB. ObjectType would be set to Enemy.Zombie and RequirementType set to DefeatEnemy when a player gets a quest to defeat zombies.

[carmine imp]

btw, look at how my questmanager is interacting with profile in ProgressQuestsOfType to get a better idea of my data structure for player profiles

I'm having this problem with a certain knockback feature with mine. It applies both a regular velocity and a spin to create this wonky knockback that i tried to base off of slap battles. The problem is shiftlock ruins it. On computers, when shiftlock is enabled it seems like the character gets more rigid so when it touches something the player is flung. I also have the mobile shiftlock script from the marketplace but it completly negates the spin factor my forcing the character to look in the direction of the camera. Can anyone help give me an idea to solve this?

[reef nymph]

I'm pretty sure you can disable the effect of shiftlock (the way it rotates the character when you press shift) temporarily in roblox

but that's only useful if it only occures during a precise event so if the problem is only during the knockback you could do that

How long do you recommend staying on one language for as I would think do lua for like a year then move to C++ bc I want to learn more on game scripting and a bit of ethical security stuff

[bleak glade]

staying on a language doesnt realy matter as you can carry over your knowledge, just use a language that does something you wanna do

[median oyster]

Is it a good idea to learn 2 at once

[bleak glade]

still depends what youre trying to do

if you can use them together then for sure

[median oyster]

lua and C++, I have spent about 3 month on Lua but I just kinda wanna learn some stuff on C++

[glad haven]

anyone know how to use audio api

[bleak glade]

might as well, lua is kinda easy and c++ is used for a lot

[median oyster]

How would I write C++ tho?

[bleak glade]

an editor

lol?

editior then compile it with g++

[median oyster]

I meant like do you recommend anything like a certain program or what youtuber teaches about C++

[bleak glade]

no i learned from university

[median oyster]

oh

[median oyster]

Last thing then, do you recommend learning actual lua too instead of just luau as I get a few things are different like I believe lua has no Variable += Variable2

[bleak glade]

i forget its use cases outside of roblox, but its lightweight iirc so its used for a few things

i think its used with rust

[median oyster]

I was told from someone it's used for like C++ to create things, e.g game then lua you can edit existing values with

[glad haven]

is anyone familiar with the audio api

[bleak glade]

yes its used in c for lower level system

i only use luau though as i havent needed to use it anywhere else

technically there is since they use diffrent amount of resources which makes diffrences on lag

u have to work for a whole week before u see any money at all

but its a down payment trust

[sage mural]

It’s rlly a project that people can only trust after seeing what’s alrdy been made, which has huge potential for success

I’d explain and show everything to them before they’d even do anything lol

[native orchid]

How about a down payment of like $5,000

[sage mural]

I obviously don’t have 5k, if I did, I wouldn’t put 5k in a Roblox game anyways

maybe less than half of that

[native orchid]

Software is expensive

Learn to do the work yourself then and save money

[sage mural]

I’m not going to be a coder tho, so it’s pointless, im currently getting a degree in digital art

This is the race selection screen, this was like 2 months ago

[native orchid]

Alright that’s fine, but your offer is dogshit and you’re only going to attract YouTube tutorial scripters who started last week

[sage mural]

good amount of stuff has changed

[civic drift]

Custom physical properties, decrease friction

[sage mural]

yeah it’s pretty rough out here huh

[sharp river]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY my script is working in studio but not in the actual game
what makes it weirder is it was working in the actual game 3 hours ago AND I CHANGED NOTHING

IM CRASHING OUT

[civic drift]

Saved and published changes yet?

[sharp river]

i have published it yes its 100% publishing

[native orchid]

There are a lot of reasons this could be happening

It’s impossible to say what exactly without seeing some code

[sharp river]

its a combat script - what happens is it works when you first join but as soon as u die/reset it just fully breaks

but it was working 3 hours ago

i didnt make it i had it comissioned but the scripter is offline BUT IM TWEAKING

[civic drift]

Works in studio?

[sharp river]

yes it does

IT is so weird

[sharp river]

I FIXED I T

[odd oak]

currently working on a movement system with a mix of combat

[sharp river]

NO I DIDNT FIX IT

😢

[white seal]

50$ dollars o hell naw

Me that I ain't scripter

Know this deal IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE

[charred cargo]

can anyone help me get started on scripting

i understand nothing

[jolly girder]

Same

[white seal]

FORUMS !

Boom

[charred cargo]

its shit icl

i've checked it out

[jolly girder]

Murfel are you a scripter?

[merry holly]

Failed to load animation with sanitized ID, someone help pls

[sage mural]

ik it’s trash, but it’s basically if u see potential in the game

lemme dm what it looks like so far

promise its pretty solid

[white seal]

I am builder but almost everyone ik is a scripter accept my mod3ler friend

[charred cargo]

i'm a modeler and i wanted to put my modeling skills with scripting yk but yh

wait just a question

most of the scripts are made by people or ai

??

[jolly girder]

Do scripters make uis and guis?

[sage mural]

They can

simple/basic ones

for custom more detailed ones, u’d need a ui designer

[jolly girder]

And scripters make animations and combat systems right?

[quasi grotto]

no, we make burgers and pizza bro

https://tenor.com/view/flightreacts-cringe-gif-19831193

[native orchid]

If it actually works it was probably written by a human

[jolly harbor]

vr nice

[cold stone]

most scripters pretty much know the basics of sfx, vfx, animations, and uis only the simple forms of them tho obviously

[tawdry terrace]

I’m trying to make my combat system fast paced how would I exactly make the combo faster

[cold stone]

faster anims, and no delay ig

?

[cinder basalt]

Remove the task waits

[tawdry terrace]

I did that

It’s still slow

[cinder basalt]

Fastest possible combat

[tawdry terrace]

?

[cinder basalt]

How

What 😭

[tawdry terrace]

huh

[cinder basalt]

Ok show code

I fix

[tawdry terrace]

I can’t rn🙏

[cinder basalt]

[tawdry terrace]

https://youtube.com/shorts/LDVXQA1nd68?si=KsLrPVFebQiWP3yT

I need it this fast

Or bit slower I guess

[runic maple]

Looking for all types of devs

[cinder basalt]

Fast m1s aint gonna cut it

This is like a lot of stuff going on

But fr thats some fast hits

[tawdry terrace]

Wdym

[cinder basalt]

[graceful breach]

how i can change the position of a frame based on a rotation?
For example: rotation = 30° so the frame should go in an upward direction to y = 0, but idk how to change x correctly ( UDim2.fromScale)

local distance = math.abs(stone.Position.Y.Scale)

local dx = math.cos(angle) * distance

local targetX = stone.Position.X.Scale + dx
    
arrow.Visible = false
    
stone.Position = UDim2.fromScale(targetX, 0)```

target✅

[cinder basalt]

A TXT file is a plain text file that stores information in a simple format. TXT files are easy to create and edit, and are compatible with many different applications and platforms.

[merry holly]

local function loadAnimationSafe(Animator, animationId) local success, animation = pcall(function() return Animator:LoadAnimation(animationId) end) if success then return animation else warn("Failed to load animation: " .. tostring(animationId)) return nil end end

after some lines of code:

[merry holly]

is it good guys?? cuz the animations id don t work

[hardy pilot]

HEY GUYS, How would One make a inventory

similar to project slayers

i have the ui, but im not sure on how the actual code would work

[hardy pilot]

[sharp totem]

can someane explain me what the :createvisualeffect in line 27 do

[hardy pilot]

It's a method

[sharp totem]

?

[hardy pilot]

the code for it should be somewhere

[sharp totem]

what is a method

[hardy pilot]

Function tied to an object

[sharp totem]

i doint udnerstand

wat is afunction tied to an object

is it like an attribute?

[hardy pilot]

No

[sharp totem]

@hardy pilot

[hardy pilot]

an object is an abstract term in this case

it could be an instance, table

class

[sharp totem]

is theyre a something in dev support that explains it well?

[hardy pilot]

probably if you google it

[sharp totem]

i cant seem to find anything?

@hardy pilot

what should i write to find the dev page?

[hardy pilot]

"difference between a function and a method"

[obtuse escarp]

Hey coders, is it possible to make a radio system, like talking to other person so you can use voice chat?

Talking with VC meanwhile holding like alt and the 2nd player hears you trough radio

Even if hes far away

[somber vault]

its a function thats in the status table

idk why they are using : for that tho

bc of the context lol

but basically u see how status is the module

The create effect is a function in the module

Its just using it in the other function ur looking at

[somber vault]

I think there was a better method than this but ik u can set something

But it makes like all sounds global or smth

[latent gust]

no

[obtuse escarp]

why so

[latent gust]

no support for it

[obtuse escarp]

Some experienced scripter mentioned that it is possible in some way

[latent gust]

they lied to you

[merry holly]

Failed to load animation with sanitized ID, someone help pls

[errant walrus]

Yes

[frail harness]

bru can anyone help me with this, i am getting warned

local function loadAnimationSafe(Animator, animationId) local success, animation = pcall(function() return Animator:LoadAnimation(animationId) end) if success then return animation else warn("Failed to load animation: " .. tostring(animationId)) return nil end end

after some lines of code:

local swingAnimation = loadAnimationSafe(Animator, script:WaitForChild("Swing" .. combo).AnimationId) swingAnimation:Play()

[errant walrus]

The problem is in how you're calling the loadAnimationSafe function

The error occurs because you're passing the AnimationId property directly

but the Animator:LoadAnimation() function expects an Animation object, not an animation ID string

[frail harness]

yeah, i am being confused, some people are sayingto add animationId and some are not

[errant walrus]

You are giving Animation ID

bru can anyone help me with this, i am getting warned

local function loadAnimationSafe(Animator, animationId) local success, animation = pcall(function() return Animator:LoadAnimation(animationId) end) if success then return animation else warn("Failed to load animation: " .. tostring(animationId)) return nil end end

after some lines of code:

local swingAnimation = loadAnimationSafe(Animator, script:WaitForChild("Swing" .. combo)) swingAnimation:Play()

Try this

[frail harness]

tried that too, failed to sanitze id

[errant walrus]

what

[frail harness]

yep

[lofty plinth]

do u own the animation?

and is it under ur profile/group of the game

[merry holly]

i got it from toolbox, saved by group and the game also by group

[frail harness]

in group

[errant walrus]

@frail harness

And the game is under the same group?

[merry holly]

yes

[frail harness]

yep

[errant walrus]

?

[lofty plinth]

Whats the Class for ur?

[frail harness]

wht

[merry holly]

i am the owner of the game, hes hired

[frail harness]

animation instance(object)

[lofty plinth]

is it an Animation instance

[frail harness]

yes

[errant walrus]

bro

wha

[errant walrus]

Do you have coding experience?

[frail harness]

bio

[lofty plinth]

Whats the parent of the instance ur trying to animate?

[errant walrus]

3.8 years of experience?

[frail harness]

local script

in which the code is present

[errant walrus]

what

[lofty plinth]

the thing ur trying to animate not the script

[frail harness]

player

its a char animation

[frail harness]

yes

[lofty plinth]

which is parented to workspace im guessing?

[merry holly]

this

we try to make that idle animation

[frail harness]

starter gear

[merry holly]

but, Failed to load animation with sanitized ID,

[lofty plinth]

save the place close all studio instances and re-open it

[frail harness]

i told him that the fault is in the group or game, cuz all the backups of the game is corrupted

[lofty plinth]

good chance roblox just flat out doens't recognise that u own the animation

[merry holly]

so u think that i have to give him the ids or he must do that?

[lofty plinth]

.

[native orchid]

why'd you do it like that

[frail harness]

tried publishing in the group, @merry holly tried publishing making him the creator of the animation but both of them didnt work

[frail harness]

tried all of the things

[errant walrus]

?

[native orchid]

Makes it one block

[frail harness]

what

[errant walrus]

local function loadAnimationSafe(Animator, animationId)
    local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
    animation.AnimationId = animationId

    local success, loadedAnimation = pcall(function()
        return Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
    end)
    
    if success then
        return loadedAnimation
    else
        warn("Failed to load animation: " .. tostring(animationId))
        return nil
    end
end```


```lua

[little island]

GUYS how do i use the keys A and D to move sideways through a part like a normal player

[fresh vale]

guys what does this code do

[hallow pivot]

someone help pls how do i make an object play a sound when touched

[fresh vale]

you actually need to insure that "victory.wav" is actually a Sound object inside the script not a name of a file and also the cloned sound need parent to work

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local vic = script:FindFirstChild("victory.wav")
if vic then
vic = vic:Clone()
vic.Parent = script.Parent
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Surface") then
vic:Play() -- Correct function name
end
end
end)

[tardy pasture]

why would u even check if the part ur touching has a surface ?

[hallow pivot]

its the name of my part

[tardy pasture]

even tough why would u check for it ?

[hallow pivot]

idk its not working i dont get it

[tardy pasture]

i mean it makes only logic sense if it can be touched it exist

[tardy pasture]

remove that if statement bet it will work then

[hallow pivot]

double checking

[tardy pasture]

and is it a client script or a server script ??

[hallow pivot]

server

[hallow pivot]

uhh which one

[tardy pasture]

there is only 1 if statement ?

[frail harness]

did not work

animator requires animation object (instance) not the id

[hallow pivot]

didn't work

it says "Touched" is not valid member os serverscriptservice

[tardy pasture]

is it a client script or a server script ?

[hallow pivot]

server

[tardy pasture]

u cant touch a service ...

[hallow pivot]

should it be client?

[tardy pasture]

touch event only works with instances in the workspace

[hallow pivot]

ah

do i make it client side then?

[tardy pasture]

no ?

u make it touch a part or model in the workspace

[frank vapor]

i’m not necessarily sure if this fits the category but i’m trying to learn scripting and i’m struggling with how complicated it is and a lot of the yt tutorials don’t help and was wondering if u guys know if there’s anyway that has more in depth tutorials/lessons

[tardy pasture]

use free models and try to understand how they work thats how i did it

[frank vapor]

that’s actually a really good idea i didn’t think of that

[tardy pasture]

like for example u search up uhhh a magic wand and instead off shooting a yellow ray u try to change it to a purple one or such kinda off stuff

[frank vapor]

ohhh okay

sick thanks man

[lilac plank]

code help isnt helping

so how can I move attachments in a part that is growing to match the ends of the part

[hallow pivot]

ok it now plays a sound

but how would i make it so it only plays it once even if im still touching said object

and if i stop touching and then go back it wont play

[tardy pasture]

add a debounce

[hallow pivot]

whats gone wrong

[tardy pasture]

after the 60 set the debounce back to false

[hallow pivot]

nope

it says error with the bracket at the end or smth

[hardy pilot]

You shouldn't load and instantly play animations

[tardy pasture]

read the error

[hallow pivot]

idk what it means

[tardy pasture]

remove the )

[hallow pivot]

fixed errror but now no sound is playing

[tardy pasture]

remove the if not statement

[hallow pivot]

worked

i was having trouble cause there was a rig on the part tho

prolly why it wasn't working

is there a way to exclude rigs from humanoids

[somber vault]

who here wants to script my tycoon game

[south ore]

the way you wrote this code is making me mad lol

lemme send my version

nvm js realized its fixed

[queen rivet]

Yall

Wtf is the difference between
tick(), os.clock(), os.time() and what is the best to use.
If they are different please state use with example

[merry holly]

Failed to load animation with sanitized ID, someone help pls

[wicked scroll]

hey im trying to have basic admin essentials in my game but since the main module got deleted months ago it doesnt work, how do i fix this?

[lean ocean]

search it up

u couldve already figured it out

[silver verge]

documentation!

[edgy phoenix]

wait no

[cold stone]

gonna make a more advanced wall climbing system and fix the raycasting as u saw its glitched

but w's for a test project?

[bleak glade]

time is server time, os.time is universal epoch since liks 1970, believe clock is the same thing but with ms, tick is the same thing as os.time but depricated

[livid trout]

Failed to load animation with sanitized ID, someone help pls

[finite oar]

do you own the animation

[merry holly]

toolbox

[finite oar]

i believe you have to own it for it to load in studio

try in a published game

should work

[rancid sundial]

i can help

if u want

[rancid sundial]

local sound = script.Parent

sound.Touched:connect(function(sigma)

if script.parent = sigma then

sound.playing = true

wait(type the sound duration in seconds)

if script.parent = sigma and sound.playing = false then

sound.playing = true

end

end)

if it doesnt work then i love peanut butter

[warm pumice]

Yea don’t listen to this guy

[wicked palm]

@rancid sundial

[prisma canyon]

[native vine]

shouldnt there be a error bcs u didnt put end on the first if

or no

[lone mountain]

This kid

[forest storm]

how many elseif statements would be too much

[glass garden]

That heavily depends on the context. Generally, as long as it isn't hurting readability, you're probably fine

[forest storm]

ah ok thank u

[autumn venture]

Is it bad that im using an infinitely long rope constraint to keep seperated parts active under the player network owner

[dark juniper]

bro got gods word

🙏

[left widget]

Yo tell me how yall learned lua

[frail fulcrum]

if anyone want to make a godd game and is acctualy gonna be commited dm me i got good idea

[forest storm]

im still learning but i think just watch updated tutorials and note down key bits of info. If there is anything you dont understand just ask here

[left widget]

Can u dm me some links for me to learn as a beginner

[cursive remnant]

What’s would I use pairs and ipairs for

[forest storm]

pairs are for dictionaries, ipairs are for arrays

[plain fiber]

yo guys if yall need help coding your game (tell me the ideas and the work to do) i can help yall for free no money needed not even % just have good ideas and have progress done and a good game thats all you can ask me to make anything you want i am a 5 year scripter and a ui maker DM ME

[forest storm]

an example of code would be:

local myArray = {10, true, "hello", nil}

for index, number in ipairs(myArray) do
print(index, number)
end

[median tree]

Bro just ignoring the flood of errors
