[cursive remnant]

Ngl it’s not clicking

[forest storm]

Wdym

[cursive remnant]

Don’t understand it

[limber tendon]

ipairs for index with numbers only, pairs for numbers and and other index values such as strings(Array["Sigma"]) Suphi Kaner has a video on it, pairs skips values that are equal to nil

[hasty mesa]

do you know the diffrence between array and dictionary

[golden mauve]

does anyone know how i can spawn trees over a certain area of the map, wehre the trees are all spaces out, but still kinda random. Like in minecraft

[forest storm]

If you don't understand learn what arrays and dictionaries are

[hasty mesa]

poseidon disk sampling

[forest storm]

Real

[quaint maple]

why yes copilot, that is exactly what i wanted to do

[hasty mesa]

thats not copilot

although copilot does do that

[quaint maple]

i forgot what is it called

[frosty crag]

I think it's literally just called roblox code assistant

[quaint maple]

oh lmao

[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 DM ME

[cursive remnant]

Aray is like the list I’m pretty sure and the dictionary is like something equal a number line [t] = 2 I think

[hasty mesa]

a dictionary is key pairs

the key can be anything like a string

key = value

ipairs iterates thru the array

while pairs iterate thru all entrys

[cursive remnant]

I see I de

[quaint maple]

lmfao

[arctic bloom]

m

[prime rain]

can someone describe the difference between frontend vs backend scripting to me as if u were describing it to an idiot with no scripting background

[bleak topaz]

so basically frontend is what people can see and backend is what people cannot see

[cursive remnant]

When would you use an array

[humble wadi]

Is your commission open?

[frank quiver]

The Roblox code assistant is so bad 💔🥀

Should I continue working on this system

Bad video uh hold on

[bleak glade]

perchance

[frank quiver]

Yeah this one should I continue working on it? Tips ideas?

[humble wadi]

Because i want to make a game can we talk on dms?

[bleak glade]

ok

[little epoch]

When you want a numbered list of things to interact with or if you want to do something to an unknown ammount of things or a selection of thingsa

[frank quiver]

What portal said, and if you're into object oriented programming it's good to do that if you want to organize your variables.

[cursive remnant]

So would I use an array for like a faction type thing

[frank quiver]

(so like player related variables going into an array)

[cursive remnant]

Different guilds

[frank quiver]

Elaborate

[cursive remnant]

Like deepwoken for examples how they have guilds and only certain people are apart of the guilds would I use an array so only those people are apart of the guild

That’s the only thing I can think of

[little epoch]

to keep a list of players I would

[frank quiver]

Yeah

If you wanna list players part of say yellow team, open an array and start pouring player names into it

[cursive remnant]

Ok makes a little more sense now

Ok

Is that what it’s mostly used for?

[little epoch]

that and any other list of any other number of things

[frank quiver]

So if you call the array index number 1 you can find the first player entering the yellow team

[cursive remnant]

I see I see

[little epoch]

Arrays are incredibly useful for so much

[cursive remnant]

And dictionaries are typically used for shop or something

[frank quiver]

I mostly use it for object oriented programming, like if I wanna store player hp, money, stamina, strength, charisma I can put it in one array

[cursive remnant]

It’s not clicking for me bro I barely understand it

[little epoch]

depends on the shop

[little epoch]

thats what id use a dictionary for

[frank quiver]

Is dictionary LuaU? I've never heard of it while studying C# and Lua

[little epoch]

Dictionarries keep a list of referances in the form of strings while arrays use numbers

dictionaries and arrays are both luau tables

[cursive remnant]

What would you say the most common things you use an array for

[little epoch]

they fuction exactly the same but one is a little easier to create and manage progrematically while the other is more versitile

[frank quiver]

Me personally every integer variable a player would have (like stats hp stamina money)

[little epoch]

transfering and organizing data mostly

but also modifiying all of a list of things

or keeping track of somthing that has more somethings inside of it

[frank quiver]

Wish Lua had classes like C#

[cursive remnant]

Hm

Not clicking 😓

I need to be explains to like a caveman

[frank quiver]

You have a big box named player, you put little boxes inside like the number of HP and stamina. You can dig into big box to find little box instead of searching the cave to find little box

[half path]

anyone know how to fix this 💔

[little epoch]

think of it like this. An array is a list of things with numbers assosited with them. the ammount of these things and the things themself can be chancged and moddified as needed

each thing can be literally any object in lua which is most things

[frank quiver]

Was this an accurate explanation golem?

[bleak glade]

give up

[little epoch]

yup thats more of what a dictionary is, arrays specifically are nummbered lists but thats all just techincalities. Lua dosn't actually care about the differance between and array and a dictionary

[bleak glade]

buffers over array?

in string and numerical context

[little epoch]

the benefit of using an array is over a table is the specific functions that use the numerical index

[calm basalt]

yo twin whats an ingame example of a dictionary ?

[frank quiver]

Ling gang guli guli

[little epoch]

but Lua itself does not distinguish between the type of Index when doing things with tables only the functions that use the index

[bleak glade]

why does lua start at one 💔 ts language

[frank quiver]

Starting at 0>

[little epoch]

dictionary, player = {health = 10, speed = 5}

array, player = {10, 5}\

each number in the array is automajically asigned a number in order starting at 1

[bleak glade]

lua gotta be different fr

c > lua

[little epoch]

for example player[1] == 10

[deft stump]

hey how do i actually make a pathfinding ai that recalculates its path constantly?

[hollow turtle]

I want to apply this rig's humanoid description to the player when they equip a tool, how do i get humanoid description from a rig, and can i use the humanoid description without the rig being inside the game, or alternatively would i have to be a users avatar or outfit?

[deft stump]

ie enemy ai vs friendly ai

[bleak glade]

bind to runservice

[hollow turtle]

runservice

or better, you could fire it when the player it's tracking moves

or when any player moves

[frank quiver]

Don't use heartbeat, I havent used LuaU in forever but use the one that runs before the frame gets rendered

Uh render stepped I believe?

[deft stump]

oh shoot just used heartbeat

any other alternatives?

[frank quiver]

It's fine, heartbeat is after the frame is rendered and is used for physics n stuff

[deft stump]

making a freeroam td game

[frank quiver]

Don't take my word for truth though, I'm rusty and haven't touched this in ages

[deft stump]

freeroam towers and enemies

soo likely theres gonna be alot of humanoids?

will it be a problem for performance

[frank quiver]

Can I see a snippit of your code

If you have any

[deft stump]

how do i send it in the weird file type?

like where theres color lighting up and etc-

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local human = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local torso = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Torso")
local target = game.Workspace.FrontierPlains.Base

local function moveToTarget()
    local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath()
    path:ComputeAsync(torso.Position, target.Position)
    local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()

    for i, waypoint in pairs(waypoints) do
        human:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
        human.MoveToFinished:Wait()
    end

    human:MoveTo(target.Position)
end

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(moveToTarget)```

[frank quiver]

Try running it with 2-3 people

[deft stump]

did that its working just fine

[frank quiver]

Not as a lag test but to see how the bot reacts

Ok good

From just looks I think you'll be fine

I don't see any bit of code that looks like it's causing unnecessary lag

[deft stump]

hey do you think i should make a script that gives this properties to the enemy or just add the whole script into each enemy?

does having a bunch of scripts cause lag?

[lean ocean]

don't put a script in each enemy

[frank quiver]

What he said!

[frank quiver]

Cause if the enemies all spawn and like a krillion scripts go off giving them properties individually it's a little redundant

[fluid thicket]

I made a Lycan model from blender I got this script from chat gpt it ain’t working but it says noting is wrong with it I have a humanoid root part and a humanoid in the model

[frank quiver]

Bit of an old clip, is this any good?

(for context I made a script that sets the gravity of whatever car you're driving to whatever wall it's touching so it can run up walls)

[balmy wedge]

i use postsimulation

[balmy wedge]

it actually depends

if you cant be bothered to make some batching system for enemy pathfinding then you might aswell just clone a script into each of them

[frank quiver]

But what about this @balmy wedge

I have too many abandoned projects I needs find out which ones to work on

[balmy wedge]

ur car is dope

[balmy wedge]

this is the outcome of using one script to manage the pathfinding of multiple stuff

[deft stump]

    coroutine.wrap(function()
        local human = newMob:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        local torso = newMob:FindFirstChild("Torso") or newMob:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") -- Support HRP
        local target = workspace.FrontierPlains.Base

        if not human or not torso then return end -- Prevent errors

        local connection
        connection = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
            if not newMob or not newMob.Parent then 
                connection:Disconnect()
                return
            end

            local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath()
            path:ComputeAsync(torso.Position, target.Position)
            local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()

            for _, waypoint in pairs(waypoints) do
                human:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
                human.MoveToFinished:Wait()
            end
        end)
    end)()
end```

nice?

or will there be performance issues

[deft stump]

this does fix the issue right?

[wicked scaffold]

can someone help me with this ? im stuck :\

[balmy wedge]

update the cframe of the egg every frame to ur camera

with an offset of course

[deft stump]

nice models tho

but yea do what he said

[wicked scaffold]

i dont really have that much control with cframe like tweening tho ;-;

also do i do with linear interpolation ?

[charred kestrel]

who here does sound with scripting?

dm me if so cause i have a question or two

[hollow turtle]

gun.Equipped:Connect(function()
    local character = gun.Parent
    local joker = gun.joker
    character.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(joker.Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription())
    
    gun.Activated:Connect(function()
        if not bang.Parent and not deployed then
            bang.Parent = gun
            gunshot:Play()
            deployed = true
        else
            playRandomSound()
        end
    end)
    
    gun.Unequipped:Connect(function()
        local player = gun.Parent.Parent
        character.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(game:GetService("Players"):GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(character).UserId))
        bang.Parent = nil
        deployed = false
        playingSound = false
        voiceline:Stop()
        gunshot:Stop()
    end)
end)

when i try to restore the characters humanoid description it just kills the character

[green basin]

What does this mean 💀

[hollow turtle]

i think he means Instance.new("Sound"):Play()

[charred kestrel]

mb

[wicked scaffold]

How do i make this relative to camera cframe ?

[charred kestrel]

i meant like sound stuff within scripting cause im tryna disable the default death sound and walking sound with a gui morph system

[green basin]

Why are u nesting events in events 💀

[wicked scaffold]

AAH THE MEMORY LEAKS

[hollow turtle]

becuase it's impossible without doing it like that

but if you find a better way let me know

[green basin]

Just pull out the events dawg

[wicked scaffold]

localize the function and preload it, after use garbage collect and disconnect it 🗿

[hollow turtle]

try it

[green basin]

Try what

[green basin]

This hella ez

So basically when u load into the game your player script will have like a sounds module or smth like that

You want to copy this, exit game, edit sound id and paste it into starter player scripts

[blazing escarp]

Is there any market for a plugin that helps to make 2d games in roblox, like trying to remake terraria etc. ?

[charred kestrel]

can u dm me like what to do

like the script

cause im basically destroying a sound as a whole right?

do i do it clientwise or serverside wise?

[charred kestrel]

if ya dont mind

[deft stump]

hey guys, making an enemy ai that attacks base, barracks, and friendly ai.

theres likely gonna be tons of enemy ais

1 that prioritizes base, one that prioritizes barracks and 1 that priotizes friendly ai

how should i do that

should i jumble up that into 1 script?
or make a module script and reference the code

[sharp totem]

can someane help me with this please

[green basin]

It's easier if you create a table storing players and their status effect threads. With this, you could cancel the previous thread and start with a new one

[deft stump]

oh hey also 1 tip is use chatgpt

sometimes when i get into problems i just ask chatgpt

[sharp totem]

i dont think its give good result

[deft stump]

im using it to make pathfinding ai

just works fine

dont fully rely on it

[drifting ivy]

honestly, that works when me dedass is unable to find errors in my 300 lines of code

[deft stump]

i use it to find deprecated functions

im new to scripting and im using a tutorial

soo chatgpt helps me find stuff and optimize code

[acoustic maple]

ok

[frank quiver]

Project dump, just a little thing I made a while back

[drifting ivy]

im not new but im kinda bad when it comes to finding errors and bugs so when i totally lose my patience, i go for that

[frank quiver]

I'm clearly not good with UI lol, when I get my monitor back I'm gonna have to work on that

[deft stump]

same

chatgpt is actually insanely nice

[frank quiver]

Don't rely on it fully, think of it as one of the people here who will help you out

[deft stump]

howd you make the arm regrow like that

[frank quiver]

It's not like somebody here would be able to write a script related to your game without actually seeing the game

[deft stump]

agreed

[drifting ivy]

ik, i do write my own codes and scripts

only AI when bugs and errors don't resolve on my 5th try

[balmy wedge]

dude what

just make it match the cframe of the camera

with an offset

[frank quiver]

I use AI if my code is messy n I can't find the bug anywhere, but I tend to use it as a last resort to push myself to learn

[balmy wedge]

its as simple as :pivotto()

[drifting ivy]

same and that's what everyone should do

[slate cove]

gulp

[frank quiver]

I just have 3 parts that I tween to scale from 0.1 studs to 2 studs in length, while also moving the C0 of their respective welds downwards by 1 stud

This system took me 3 days of trial and error to make because nobody online had any documentation about it

I was also a programming noob at the time

[deft stump]

sounds about right

[frank quiver]

Oh gosh I'm recalling the all nighters I was pulling trying to make it just to show off something cool to my friend

I wish I could have inspiration like that for my other projects then I'd actually get stuff done

Lol

[balmy wedge]

map to string

i should probably put a task.wait on the reconstructing so it doesnt timeout my script

[silver verge]

should do buffers instead

if the goal is compression

[dry walrus]

A buffer won't really change anything if it's just a string.

[slate cove]

buffers can't be stored

[silver verge]

elaborate on stored

because they can be saved to datastores

[slate cove]

in any meaningful way without having to rely on async methods

i.e. stringvalue or attribute

[silver verge]

why are we treating this as a downside

send that shit over the network like buffers were intended to be used ❤️‍🩹

[slate cove]

preach

[dry walrus]

buffer objects aren't necessarily a form of compression. But you can modify the binary data inside it and put multiple values in one single buffer to make it take less space.

[slate cove]

do you think he knows

[silver verge]

i am aware that just using a buffer doesnt automatically make data smaller

it is still data

def gonna be faster to read and write to than using strings though

[slate cove]

^ this and chances are that any amount of data you're storing in a binary is going to be more efficient and use less space so... more compressed
also also last time i checked you can apply zlib compression to buffers (though i don't know if this is true or not, think it might be a datastore only thing? i don't remember)

[hasty mesa]

jsonEncode

[slate cove]

either way in this scenario it's like 99% more likely that using buffers is more efficient and takes up less space

[silver verge]

i jsonencode my buffers before sending them in remote events! 😁

[hasty mesa]

don't need to

[slate cove]

skull emoji

[silver verge]

json fastest method trust

[hasty mesa]

roblox will autmatocly compress buffers

[slate cove]

laamee

[hasty mesa]

if they determine it can benefit from it

when sent over the network

[dry walrus]

Oh I just researched more about buffers. Apparently, they are compressed when transferred over Roblox's networking APIs.

[calm basalt]

Yo if I’m trying to learn how to code should I take stuff one step at a time ? For example should I dedicate a certain amount of time to learning tables, or coroutines, or, CFrames, etc. Or should I just try scripting whatever comes to mind and if I get stuck I can just Google it? Idk if this makes sense but if anyone has any suggestions plz lmk

[silver verge]

work on projects and learn what you need in realtime

[slate cove]

^

[silver verge]

assuming you know the basics

you learn the best when youre hands on with it

[slate cove]

there's no point in "learning" specific datatypes and other things if you aren't going to use them to reinforce them or even understand why you'd need to use those concepts anyways

[calm basalt]

When you say projects do you mean like games ? I only have a few weeks of scripting experience so I don’t think I can make anything too big yet

[slate cove]

literally anything that comes to mind counts as a project

[silver verge]

just make anything honestly

[slate cove]

dash system? sure

shift to run? sure

[calm basalt]

Ohh I see

[slate cove]

literally just getting user input and printing out what key they're pressing? yeah thats a project too

[silver verge]

ye literally just anything you wanna do

[slate cove]

it doesn't have to be some massive project, nor does it have to really be anything crazy

as long as you have an interest in it then i'd look into how to make it

[calm basalt]

Yo this lowkey makes me feel better, I thought “projects” had to be big grand things

[balmy wedge]

thats why i used a string lol its easier to work with as you can just paste it anywhere

[calm basalt]

And it made me so nervous and lost

[dry walrus]

Start off with the basic projects. Stuff you can do with what you know already.

The goal of these projects is for you to work out the solution from a problem. You can research what something in the language means.

[silver verge]

nah keep it simple, you'll find yourself doing more advanced things the more you work at it

[slate cove]

^

[silver verge]

you'll also build the skill of breaking down problems and researching them

big system becomes small problems, learn how to solve each small problem, combine to make big system

boom magic

[slate cove]

not to mention all of the big grand projects can be thought of as tons of smaller projects combined together anyway; the most important skill in anything related to programming is being able to break down problems into the simplest components to solve those

[silver verge]

yes

just a bunch of puzzle pieces

[calm basalt]

Thanks for the info guys, now I don’t feel so lost anymore 🙏

[livid dagger]

i just started learning luau 2 weeks ago, id say just jump into it, try and build what you can.
im currently building a auto battler/tower defense type game atm learning as i go.

[supple spear]

someone want to mke a kuroko no basket game with me

[glossy plank]

i started learning 10 days ago, do you recommend i do the same, build a project as i go?

[bleak glade]

yes i technically started 5 months ago and got way better just building things

looking at good code helped me too

[cursive remnant]

Where would you find the code

[bleak glade]

i just looked through adonis code

or popular code like that

this helped me learn type annotation adn generics as well as how to give a function a "Comment" when calling (idk the actual name for it)

[cursive remnant]

What is Adonis code

[bleak glade]

adonis is admin commands

this isnt it though, this is a signal module

[bleak glade]

i can lend you a promise module if you wanna look through it

[cursive remnant]

Sure

[bleak glade]

dms

One day... one day

[merry holly]

bro u saw, i tried everything but still not working

[hardy pilot]

Did you also try testing in the client instead of studio

[merry holly]

my scripter not responding

code like an alien 👽

[wise turtle]

lol

[ember nimbus]

turing needed a language server when he was writing his paper on computable numbers

he keeps forgetting to define functions 💔

[verbal coral]

for whatever reason, every now and then theres 繁体字

[glass sierra]

繁体字!!

[verbal coral]

what are these bum ass fonts

istg fire mono, lucida, and courier are the only actual fonts you can use for programming on roblox studio

[glass sierra]

😭

cursive coding is so ugly

[frank quiver]

How your code be looking when you look at it again the next day with no comments

[spiral jungle]

Is this leaked COTC code

[shrewd hearth]

On a scale of 1-10 how hard would it be to code a simple enough mine that fills with randomly generated ores?

[spiral jungle]

Is the mine layout randomly generated?

[shrewd hearth]

Yep

[spiral jungle]

Is it a block game like Minecraft

[shrewd hearth]

Like a mc prisons kinda thing

[spiral jungle]

So is there a cave or is it just a solid cube of ores

[shrewd hearth]

Solid cube

[spiral jungle]

Oh then like 1

[shrewd hearth]

Perf ty

Would cave be a 10?

[spiral jungle]

No but it would be significantly harder

Cause you’d have to learn algorithms

Noise and whatever

[shrewd hearth]

Yeah I can imagine well ty 🙏

[turbid torrent]

If that's how you view your own code after a day of not working with it, you aren't ready to code whatever it is you coded. No one knows their code better than the original author.

[somber vault]

I disagree

Outside factors can alter your consciousness making you less able to focus and under stand things

Your statement Is very superficial

[turbid torrent]

I don't think that that applies to your own code. You know what you wrote and unless you're still just grasping the subject matter, you should be able to recall and understand what your own code does.

[kindred patrol]

What outside factors do u experience? I've never had a problem with understanding my code despite living in a loud environment

[restive wigeon]

Remember guys,
RemoteEvent:FindFirstChild() is not a way to fire remote events

[wise turtle]

thanks i remember now.

[turbid torrent]

[normal verge]

guys i cant fix the bug inshallah someone comes to help me

Failed to load animation with sanitized ID rbxassetid://75373839870659: AnimationClip loaded is not valid. (x2)

[gentle marlin]

somebody help me learn coding, i cant do shit rn just know lua basics dont know how to proceed, pls help if you were once at my stage

just did the roblox coin game

[glass sierra]

mashallah we shall find this bug 🙏

[normal verge]

mashallah is like when u see something surprising bro u go like wow mashallah 😭

but np people here arent muslim

[kindred patrol]

I think that's when u don't own the animation

[normal verge]

INSHALLAH WE SHALL FIND THE BUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[normal verge]

🙏

[placid badge]

I've been scripting for 3 Year straight but I didn't progress a single one. Is that an skill issue?

[somber vault]

If a time traveler goes back in time and becomes the reason his parents meet does that mean his mother now will give birth to a pointer reference of him instead of his actual self?

[somber vault]

This is plain stupid dawg.

[rancid swift]

i need someone who can make a mobile support with tsb type of shift lock, im readdy to pay so type to me if your interested

[shut sorrel]

I agree, I can write ugly code but even months after I can easily pick it back up since I made the system

though if I handed it to someone else they would think I'm insane

[somber vault]

Chat this guy doesn’t comment his code
Kill him!

[shut sorrel]

I do the bare minimum and add -- Variables -- Functions -- remotes

[somber vault]

Any suggestions on making a good incremental game?

[somber vault]

Bro wants to be mysterious so bad 😭

[solar yew]

Seems like the wrong channel to ask that in? Like, coding advice for making one thats functional?

[shut sorrel]

I don't need to comment my code if no one else has to look at it

just name variables and functions good enough

[solar yew]

Really I just use comments to tell myself to do stuff later. --Put something functional here eventually

[somber vault]

Documenting is like half of what good coding consist of

[solar yew]

in a team maybe. as long as you have decent naming conventions its not too hard to keep track of everything

[somber vault]

What good is code if u have to relearn what u made after a year later

[somber vault]

Everything in general really but also how I could structure the code or what I can do because I'm new to this

[shut sorrel]

I do add comments after modules or stuff and inside functions if it's confusing but it not like I'm reading a public API, the bare minimum is fine for me

[solar yew]

I mean... math? Incremental games are uniquly easy because you can just throw a new math calculation on whenever you want to add more content.

[shut sorrel]

not gonna comment my code like gpt, I think the way gpt comments code is aggressive and makes it harder to look at

[solar yew]

set flags for certain actions, buying items rebirthing etc and then scale up a multiplication variable or whatever. button clicked +1 point, rebirth 500: button clicked * 500

[somber vault]

Honestly I think chat gpt comments makes the code more manageable if you didn’t make it yourself

[solar yew]

gpt comments code like a maniac that needs to over explain every random code bit --this comment is designed to make fun of gpts coding comment practices

[somber vault]

I think more comments are better than bare minimum comments tbh

[shut sorrel]

To each their own, I like giving my code to gpt after I'm done to write me a documention for my code but I don't want to write comments like that

[solar yew]

I feel like if you're letting gpt run wild like that you're already in trouble. Gpt is at its best when its sole purpose is menial work and reminding you what functions/methods do what things. At least thats how I use it

[somber vault]

Code I didn’t write as in someone else’s code I run through it to annotate

Chat gpt lua is awful

[solar yew]

Gotcha, makes more sense 😅

[shut sorrel]

Gpt does help me understand public modules people make when it lacks documentation or good examples

[somber vault]

Honestly tho the newer gpt models for other coding languages are actually pretty decent now

Come a long way since 2023 for python and c++

[solar yew]

I dont think I could ever trust GPT tbh. Even if the code it wrote was 10/10 I would feel the need to triple check, ending up wasting any kind of time I would be saving by having gpt write it

[lavish ibex]

any scripter wants to partner in a game

[shut sorrel]

Deepseek is pretty cool how it does reasoning, I wish Roblox AI was actually good but it's the worst AI I ever used

[somber vault]

I thought I was the only one thinking this from how praised the ai was

[solar yew]

the roblox ai is praised?

[shut sorrel]

I don't think anyone except the company and YouTubers praised it

YouTubers who aren't even good devs

I think the texture generation is really awesome but it's still mid quality

[somber vault]

I’ve seen a few people on dev forms talking about it

[somber vault]

I’m not a fan of the texture ai either

[shut sorrel]

it's better to use rojo and copilot than Roblox AI

[somber vault]

The prompts all come out looking strange or grainy

I could be using it wrong though

[solar yew]

Not the Ai on the api documentaion website right? Back when I was still trying to understand the basics of luau I couldnt get past two questions without having an aneurysm trying to wrangle that thing and stop it from giving me deprecated information

[shut sorrel]

It always looks strange for me too, I just use the normals it generates for textures

[somber vault]

I didn’t even know the api had an ai

[shut sorrel]

yeah the studio/API AI, it feels like abandonware as soon as they made it, it's worse than gpt 3.5

[solar yew]

thank god, thought I was going crazy when I thought you said that was being praised by anyone

[shut sorrel]

It has potential though

[solar yew]

I cant link to it, but its the assistant button at the top right of the docs page

[shut sorrel]

Like it spawns things in workspace and could change properties, the demos are really good but no one has ever had an experience like the demos they made for it

Huh they just released a update for the AI assistant an hour ago

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/assistant-updates-giving-you-more-control-of-assistant/3555172

[solar yew]

Huh, weird coincidence.

[shut sorrel]

They're trying to make 3d mesh generation which is kinda cool

[foggy burrow]

Code

lock in

[solar yew]

Im afraid this will probably just lead to more generic garbage. It gives more power to solo devs sure, but it entirely removes quality assurance. Its like the whole "Give me an image of a full wine glass" thing. Ai is super limited by its averages which means everything generated by them is incredibly generic. And sure, better devs will use these tools to make random forgettable assets look decent--because having 700 unique rocks is less noticeable than having 6 rocks you reuse throughout the entire game. But some devs are just going to make entire games with these tools and the platform will be worse for it.

Either my s key has started failing me or Ive missed the s button like 7 times within the last 30 minutes, typos are going crazy today 😑

[shut sorrel]

Most games on Roblox are already AI created messes and it's only going to get worse, but that's what makes quality games stand out above the rest. That 3d generation is impressive tech but it's low quality static meshpart with a low quality texture, I can already see noobs rushing into these channels asking why their mesh won't move

[gentle marlin]

noo

[solar yew]

It's weird to me that people would seek help from other people when they are perfectly fine using ai for everything else. Ai is best at answer questions like "How do I do this?" or "Why doesnt this work?" But, people copy paste code from ai and then come here to ask whats wrong with the code. makes me wonder if people in #code-help used to be more receptive to beginners before ai.

[shut sorrel]

I rarely ask for code help because everything can be found on google or AI, it's really painful helping beginners who use AI and can't understand what anything does, it's very obvious what AI code looks like too

[plain marlin]

How would I go about making trail like system for water bending (atm I update bones position to the previous one / one ahead of it) but this is laggy and not synced between different graphics - eg more lag = longer shape, less lag = slimmer

[shut sorrel]

The water is a mesh with bones?

looks fine, just need optimization

[plain marlin]

That’s not mine tho lol

It’s a reference

[shut sorrel]

like can't you fireallclients the visuals and register the hit on the server

[plain marlin]

Yeah

[foggy burrow]

I would register hit on client and then fire server for it to be smoother

[plain marlin]

But the actual movement is the issue

[foggy burrow]

and then have the server do sanity checks

[plain marlin]

Not the hit register erc

[plain marlin]

Yeah

[foggy burrow]

I would fireall clients and fire the hitbox client side, and when theres a hit you fire server and the server does sanity checks/applys dmg

but if your looking for a cleaner way for the vfx?

[shut sorrel]

if the water is a mesh with bones it should be done on the client for performance, register hit on server. But you can maybe use a part with 2 attachments with a beam maybe, would be like a whole other way of making it though

[foggy burrow]

yeah

id do it vfx

instead of meshes

beams would be better

[shut sorrel]

A main part that changes direction, and another part attached to a spring on the main part, put the attachment on the part with the spring and one on main part

just a idea though

https://tenor.com/view/door-stopper-gif-10606398

[plain marlin]

im trying to make the physics for the delayed repositioning / lerping between current bone and one ahead of it tho

the only issue is that

1. its not very performant
   and
2. the length of the water mesh changes depending on client lag

[shut sorrel]

Are you using delta time, that helps with calculations between frames

And for performance, are you doing the cframe calculations on the server or the client

[plain marlin]

yeah but still doesnt work

[plain marlin]

client

My example - recording messed up for like first bit

@shut sorrel

[shut sorrel]

does high graphics usually cause your game to lag? Or just the script being that laggy?

[slate dome]

More about particles and meshes I think

[verbal coral]

Cotc ain’t got a single fucking module script when I first started

[solar yew]

#scripter-hiring

[verbal coral]

slave labor wages

[plain marlin]

Lower fps

[oblique epoch]

lf scripter u can take 70% of the game i can invest in ads since i have rbx so u will gain from the game i do uis (i can pay rbx)

[reef nymph]

Yo guys I was wondering if WaitForChild is truly useful if you're just trying to immediately access a model/folder that's already in the explorer at first or not?

It's already on server so logically I'd say it's useless but a lot of tutorials tell you to do it for some reason

[forest storm]

the reason you use it is because the roblox engine doesnt guarantee time or order in which objects are replicated from the server to the client

[reef nymph]

Oh so using it in a server script to access something already on the server (not created via a script) is pointless, but from localscripts so from server to client it gets useful then?

from server to client or client to server basically

[forest storm]

yh u use waitforchild in local scripts

[reef nymph]

kk yeah

[forest storm]

its even on the forum

[reef nymph]

cuz I see tutorials where they waitforchild a replicatedstorage model in a serverscript

but it sounded pointless to me

just a random habit i suppose

[forest storm]

idk

[floral cairn]

i love how people will ask for like the most complicated shit

and pay like 200 robux for it

just hire a slave atp

[static coral]

and then pay like 20k for the easiest thing ever

[floral cairn]

real

man I wish I could just make my own game and get out of this commision bull but trying to hire people to help is the most annoying process ever

talent hub is the most buggy thing ever, this server's job hiring thing takes like 2 days before its published and people can see it

[shut sorrel]

bite the bullet and make a easy to make cash grab

[static coral]

yeah

[floral cairn]

yeah lmao

[static coral]

make cash grab and use funds to fund bigger and better project

[shut sorrel]

use toolbox model, people who play cash grabs do not care

[floral cairn]

the problem is I got funds, I know a rich investor guy who ive been friends with for like 3 years

the hiring is the part thats pissing me off

[shut sorrel]

I just do everything myself and keep 100% of profits

[floral cairn]

I wish I was like you fr but I am not talented enough to work alone

the most I can do is a good looking showcase game

or a shitty fps game using toolbox fps systems

[shut sorrel]

my desire to learn comes directly from being too broke to hire anyone and it payed off

[floral cairn]

brokey

[shut sorrel]

I think tycoons, obbies, and TD are more popular for cash grabs

Something you really have to sink a lot of time into and pay attention

progression and flexing is the gameplay loop

[iron oasis]

on the scrip[t performance tab, what should i be looking for? the count and activity numbers im not familiar with those units.

[thick sapphire]

Chat theorethical question: If you could have any library for coding, what would it be?

[hasty mesa]

Like your can only use 1 lib not written by you?

And in luau or all languages

[thick sapphire]

idc

[thick sapphire]

no, one lib that made someone or you, doesnt matter

[hasty mesa]

and you can only use that?

Cause I could rewrite my own libs

[thick sapphire]

yep

[thick sapphire]

u made?

[hasty mesa]

Yeah

[thick sapphire]

damn

[hasty mesa]

The only lib that's not custom is a UI library cause I can't be bothered to rewrite thet

[thick sapphire]

what other libs u made?

[hasty mesa]

Manily for my own games and only when I need it

Which includes signals, serializer, some utils

[thick sapphire]

why would you need serializers?

[hasty mesa]

To store stuff in buffers more efficiently for data transfer

[thick sapphire]

this man is on different level

I never used buffers

can you give me some introduction why to use them? Like im making one maze type game where its randomly generated, so if you could tell me how they should be used

||got ghosted||

[latent gust]

If you’re generating a maze and sending it via network it’s more efficient to send that data as json. You can also save the maze layout or rendered parts for resuming the game later if you want that functionality

[hasty mesa]

Well it's just used to reduce network. Buffers for a maze generation like what the person said above can be used as a efficient way to send or store

[thick sapphire]

so basically micro difference

[latent gust]

It depends on your architecture

[thick sapphire]

are buffer libs useful?

[hasty mesa]

For making it easier to pack data

[hasty mesa]

It can be a pretty large difference depending on the data

[thick sapphire]

isnt it just write buffed, read buffer?

[vocal vortex]

anybody know whats the best way to go abt making input buffering, i got my own way i just wanna know

[thick sapphire]

I send from server to all clients one table at the start of the game

[hasty mesa]

Writing a table and different datatypes

[thick sapphire]

why...

[hasty mesa]

Then it's fine

[vocal vortex]

tf u mean why

[hasty mesa]

And you don't really need buffers

[thick sapphire]

compressing with json?

[vocal vortex]

cuz i need to make it

[thick sapphire]

why would you do that

[hasty mesa]

Json isn't really compressing

[vocal vortex]

combat feels better with it

[thick sapphire]

like i odnt see any reason why is it useful

[thick sapphire]

fr?

[vocal vortex]

combat...

ofc

every game has it

cuz when u click to early without it nothing happens and then it gets annoying

[thick sapphire]

so you make input buffer to read the input on client?

that sounds so stupid

[vocal vortex]

yeah whats stupif abt it

[thick sapphire]

you process inputs on client in roblox

right?

[vocal vortex]

is that even a question

[thick sapphire]

i am programmer, but no god, or no god in roblox API

[vocal vortex]

whats the diff between a scripter and a programmer

[thick sapphire]

scripter is a guy who writes a code and programmer is a guy who makes logic

[crystal olive]

anyone got a portfolio for scripting i can see?

[thick sapphire]

i am both yk, but still

[vocal vortex]

yet u asked that question

[thick sapphire]

which one exactly

[latent gust]

This is giving me a headache

[vocal vortex]

.

[vocal vortex]

yeah same here

[thick sapphire]

if u make custom multi game out of roblox then you do both, but on roblox you want to do prediction on server and compute on client

[static coral]

anyone know of a tutorial for the stylesheet/stylelink/stylederive objects?

[vocal vortex]

theres 2 ways to make games on roblox

u ALWAYS detect input on client

idfk how u didnt know that

[thick sapphire]

obviously...

[vocal vortex]

u either handle actions provided by the input of the client on server

or send info to from the server to the client to replicate

which means ass computers cant run ur game

[vocal vortex]

why tf did u ask then

[thick sapphire]

I asked because I still dont know why would you need to write to a buffer inputs to send it to server

[latent gust]

I feel like I told you ten minutes ago

[vocal vortex]

i already said its useful for combat

[thick sapphire]

but like you WILL ALWAYS have delay

[vocal vortex]

do you even know whst input buffering is

[thick sapphire]

no

[vocal vortex]

u save keys that are pressed during a move and then calvulate the most recent one in a set duration and execute another move

[thick sapphire]

never encountered it, so idk

[thick sapphire]

so queue but for buffers?

[fluid sierra]

needs help with saving data for a player i tried like different 4 scripts and nothing workkkkkkkkk

[thick sapphire]

make sure to look at output errors and for typos

[fluid sierra]

theres nothing in the output no error

[thick sapphire]

try printing out different parts of the sciprts, like when it loads, when you save the data and get to where it doesnt work

[fluid sierra]

it does not work

[thick sapphire]

wdym?

[silver verge]

this is unrelated to the buffer library

you're confused because you were talking about the buffer library before and someone had a question about something unrelated that also used the word buffer

[thick sapphire]

do you even call the function?

[fluid sierra]

wanna see the script?

[thick sapphire]

no I was just curious why would you use it

[thick sapphire]

sure

you shouldn't be relying on an llm that makes mistakes to write your code that handles player data

there are plenty of tutorials online, look into something like profileservice

Tag » whilelooplua

A while loop is used to repeat code until a certain condition is met, or to loop code indefinitely. Make sure to add a task.wait() somewhere inside it, so it doesn't crash, end, or lag. Usage:

while true do
    print("TRUE")
    task.wait(5)
end

[silver verge]

[vernal timber]

but can u make the same amount of money? no

[thick sapphire]

true, like i wanna make big company with lot of money, but for my dream projects not the revenue

[thorn frigate]

💀💀

[thick sapphire]

true, look at doors

[thick sapphire]

[vernal timber]

@thorn frigate i have a job application for you

[thorn frigate]

ok

[thick sapphire]

bro is """hiring"""

[vernal timber]

for not taking the most obvious sarcasm ever you deserve to work as a trash collector

[thorn frigate]

is the sarcasm in room w us

it was a blatant lie

[thick sapphire]

if u pretend to own a game for sarcasm there is smth wrong with u

[vernal timber]

@thorn frigate why tf would i go hiring for berry avenue RP ???????????????

r u slow

[thorn frigate]

yes u just have to monetize well

[vernal timber]

the owner is a girl

[thick sapphire]

[silver verge]

yo its so easy to tell he doesnt own it, shit was an obvious joke 😭

[vernal timber]

plus i literally have my profile in my connections r we being slow

[vernal timber]

^^^^^^

even he gets it

[thorn frigate]

how tf am i supposed to know that + i aint going around stalking

[silver verge]

by not being autistic

[vernal timber]

on god

[thorn frigate]

well mb then some people are really that dense to go do that

[vernal timber]

ur just stupid

@thorn frigate you'll make a little bit of money and turn ur entire fgame p2w

truist me

[silver verge]

do you think people who say their dad owns roblox are saying it with actual intent

this is the same thing

[thick sapphire]

if you are preston*

[silver verge]

if you want to make a livable wage off roblox realistically*

[thorn frigate]

💀p2w games arrent sustainable

[thick sapphire]

if you want to "scam" kids of their mummy's credit card*

[silver verge]

p2w is different from heavily monetized

[silver verge]

kid consented

[thorn frigate]

they literally said p2w

[silver verge]

sorry i have low reading comprehension

too busy optimizing my slot machine for children

[thorn frigate]

can see that

ur choice if u wanna make a living off of exploiting kids

[thick sapphire]

this is the most honest thing u said today

[vernal timber]

r u mad u not richy arctic

its ok i can give u a bit of handouts

i'm not exploiting kids they are cosnentualyl spending money on my game

[silver verge]

you need funding to build actual projects

[vernal timber]

what type of lie is this

[thick sapphire]

slot machines*

[vernal timber]

tsb was made w ith $10

[thorn frigate]

💀

[thick sapphire]

electricity costs much more today

[silver verge]

i specialized in programming exclusively, can't model, do sound design, or interface well enough for a game

therefore, i need to outsource all of them

[vernal timber]

@silver verge hire people for %

[silver verge]

that costs Money

h-h-h-h-hell naw

[vernal timber]

@silver verge get a job or take the 17 dollars

[static coral]

you know there are shit tons of free sounds on roblox toolbox

[thorn frigate]

skill issue

[sudden bramble]

is normal for console have those problems with uipageloyout? it works fine with mouse click, but not with console

[silver verge]

if you want your game to sound like dogshit ye

[silver verge]

it is

[thick sapphire]

based

[silver verge]

censor ts word pls 💔

[thick sapphire]

better than nothing

[vernal timber]

j*b

[static coral]

just search harder, or upload free ones from youtube or websites

[silver verge]

again, sound design is crucial if you're trying to make an actual game

if you're making slop then sure go for the free shit

[thorn frigate]

also u can gather funds without making a cash grab 💀

[silver verge]

but your game will sound like every other one

[thick sapphire]

nothing for you 🤓

[thick sapphire]

its already happening for 99% of games

[silver verge]

idk why we're pulling random stats out of nowhere

[thick sapphire]

for fun

[silver verge]

if you go to any front page game, they all have their own sounds

that's not hard to test

[static coral]

im telling you most roblox games and even front page games make use of free sounds. you would only really use original sounds if you want a very atmospheric game or a very specific song or sound or whatever

[thick sapphire]

but these games are just small fraction of all released ones

[silver verge]

yeah because the games that dont make it are Slop

that's my point 😭

[thorn frigate]

honestly im with michael

most Roblox games are shit

[static coral]

i can guarantee you a lot of the sounds if not most of them are free, you can actually verify this by using dev console in game

[silver verge]

even the top slop games made by axelodev & do_big have their sounds made for them

so idk what you're trying to tell me

[thick sapphire]

thats why we need original ideas not slot machines

[paper imp]

they generally have a higher budget than smaller creators

[vernal timber]

do u want a j*b

[silver verge]

which is my point

[vernal timber]

being a small creator isn't an excuse for not making games

[silver verge]

i agree

[paper imp]

yeah

[silver verge]

you just need money to invest

[vernal timber]

i was a small creator nwo i'm a big creator

[silver verge]

which most roblox kids don't have

[vernal timber]

i was BROKE

i was flat BROKE

[thick sapphire]

what games made breakthrough? Minecraft = unique generation, Roblox = custom physics engine and free engine with all the features without fees with servers

I can go on and on

[thick sapphire]

big in physical size?

[vernal timber]
