i think hes just trolling at this point

[lean ocean]

[white pecan]

why

he is

[paper imp]

well one of theb iggest

[reef birch]

hes legit

[vernal timber]

can u quit lying

i'm legit

[reef birch]

yeah the name of the group is 'group bloxfruits'

[vernal timber]

yes it is tf

whys dis guy stupid

[paper imp]

bloxfruits is a completelyt other group then its a lie

[vernal timber]

as a big roblox creator i'd like to give you all jobs

[carmine gulch]

You wanna see the contract?

😂

[thick sapphire]

yes for proof

[carmine gulch]

Ok

[carmine gulch]

Let me find it

[lean ocean]

bet

[carmine gulch]

I’m on my phone it’s in a old gc

[vernal timber]

no cause the job is real

[paper imp]

ur not in the bloxfruits group

nvm

@white pecan it ocme:s withj ur contracty

[reef birch]

did you buy zombie attack or are you the original dev because i swear beacon owned it

[paper imp]

@carmine gulch your not in the contributors page

[vernal timber]

gang he bought it

[vernal timber]

BUDDY HE BOUGHT THE %

[carmine gulch]

Gang I’m not a developer

😭

[vernal timber]

is dis guy joking

[thorn frigate]

you're*

[paper imp]

dong

[reef birch]

*their

[thick sapphire]

@carmine gulch where is the contract? disappeard in files?

[paper imp]

in which section are you

[reef birch]

not everything needs a contract

[carmine gulch]

Fruit shop boss

[reef birch]

bro he owns zombie attack

[paper imp]

yoo dats right

[reef birch]

i think he has the capital

[carmine gulch]

Bro I’m trolling

😭

I don’t know who the fuck that guy is

[reef birch]

bruh

wheres the 35m from

[carmine gulch]

I bought the robux with real money

[reef birch]

ok monkey

[carmine gulch]

On Roblox

I’ll buy 2 mil robux rn

[paper imp]

there are black markets i heard you can literally buy around 10k for around 5 bucks..

[forest storm]

why would u spend so much money on digital currency 😭

[paper imp]

hes probably trolling again

[forest storm]

fair

[green basin]

W gkmc

[carmine gulch]

I’m such a sigma

[paper imp]

ok but that is defo real

[karmic cobalt]

Its there a way to script affilcate code for influencers, like fortnite, they get % from gamepass bought with their code? I think data base to sotrage every payment and what code used, after month summarise it and group payouts?
Or someone have better idea?

[forest storm]

guys whats better composition or inheritance

[reef birch]

yeah i used to sell on them

[paper imp]

bad guy

[paper imp]

keep ur money up not ur funny up

[karmic cobalt]

@paper imp Question

[paper imp]

what

[karmic cobalt]

?

its there no way to make it automatic right?

Like I need summarize it and make manual payments

[paper imp]

i don't know what you mean

fortnite? %?

[karmic cobalt]

Uh like infulencer got their code "Star20" for example if someone used his code and buy gamepass hhe get % from the gamepass

in my game

[paper imp]

ah

i honeslty DONT KNOW HOWEVER

honestly*

however, you know hazemn?

[karmic cobalt]

yes

[paper imp]

its said that he takes 10% off of each purchase

which when i tried purchasing passes of his game was true

instead of my friend taking 7 robux he took 6 robux

so there must be a certain method although im not entierly sure

[reef birch]

that has nothing to do with scripting thats just commission

[paper imp]

i figured there was a way to do it scriptwise idk bro

how do they do that then

roblox does not notify you about the extra 10% loss

the creator literally earns less

not creator

[native orchid]

Depends on your goals

[paper imp]

if u donate all ur robux to an alt then u would lose 10% more value

wait.. thats why hazem is such a rich guy

he takes 10% commission

[thorn frigate]

if third party items are bought in ur game u get a 10% commission

[paper imp]

yeee

i thought u'd have to do it scriptwise

[mystic grotto]

when you have millions of dollars, 10% is nothing in comparison to the amount of money you have remaining

[paper imp]

10% of 10M is 1M, boom, a whole million dollars down the drain

[mystic grotto]

so what? you still have 9 million left over

at such great scales, normally no matter the amount lost, however much you have left is still overwhelmingly large

[forest storm]

readability

[paper imp]

sure, 9M could make you live a whole lifetime, however losing 1M over laziness is just wild

[mystic grotto]

oh i didn't see the context - why would you donate it to an alt though?

[paper imp]

no clue, saw the tiktok kids doing it.

[native orchid]

If your goal is something fantastical and dogshit such as readability then go for inheritance

[forest storm]

noted!

[vernal timber]

io forgot to say thxs

[prime iron]

i have 4k robux i want a really clean smooth viewmodules a swing one and a shotgun both must be able to be animated for shotgun simple shoot pickaxe a swing do it in my map upon completion if im happy you get payed!

[gloomy kraken]

what the grammar

[brisk frigate]

@mystic grotto Hey hepatitus how are you

[native orchid]

What if instead I pay you 4k to leave and never come back

[mystic grotto]

i don't understand this rationale. Readable code is the foundation of a maintainable codebase. Composition can achieve this.

[prime iron]

nty!

[native orchid]

What I mean is that if his primary concern is something as nebulous and irrelevant as readability then he has swallowed too much uncle bob OOP nonsense already and should go all in

[mystic grotto]

readability isn't nebulous, it's pretty clear what is and what isn't readable. it's not irrelevant either; you wouldn't want to work on a codebase that uses this:

s=string;sc=s.char;
g=getfenv;
b=buffer;w=b[`writeu`..g()["sc"]([[56]])];c=b.create;ws=b["write".."string"];rs=b[`read`.."string"];r=b['readu'..g().sc([[56]])];
bb=g()[g()[`sc`]([[99]])](14);
g()[g()[`sc`]([[119]])..g()["sc"]('115')](bb,0,"print")
g()[g()[g()["sc"]([[115]]) .. g().sc([[99]])]([[119]])..g()[""..[[sc]]..""]("115")](bb,5,`math`)
g()[g()['sc']([[119]])..g()['sc'](`115`)](bb,9,"abs")
g()[g()["sc"]([[119]])](bb,12,2);
g()[g()[""..[[sc]]..""]([[119]])](bb,13,3)
g()[g()[g()[`sc`]([[114]])..g()[`sc`]([[115]])](bb,0,5)](g()[g()[g()[`sc`]([[114]])..g()[`sc`]([[115]])](bb,5,4)][g()[g()[`sc`]([[114]])..g()[`sc`]([[115]])](bb,9,3)](-g()[g()[`sc`]([[114]])](bb,12)-g()[g()[`sc`]([[114]])](bb,13)));

to do this:

local x = 2
local y = 3
print(x + y)

[native orchid]

Awesome example

local x = require(xValueManagerFactory):GetValue(true)
local y = require(yValueHandlerMarshaller):ObtainState()

local Adder = require(numberAdderModule).new(x, y)

ObjectPrinterFactoryManager(Adder:GetResult())

I can prop up strawmen as well

[mystic grotto]

Sure, this is understandable, but it is not readable because it's overdoing an easy task

[native orchid]

OOP is the art of overdoing every task

[mystic grotto]

i see your point on why its nebulous

[native orchid]

If your goal is to make hyperbloated clusterfucked Enterprise Software that will take 100 people to work on, go for it

[mystic grotto]

i agree that oop can get way over the top unnecessarily, but thats generally due to poor execution

[native orchid]

if your goal is to make a game, just write code and stop abstracting shit

Roblox is already abstracted to a sufficient degree out of the box

[mystic grotto]

most people think you need to wrap everything in a class or encapsulate everything, which is just not the case but a nice median point would be c++'s struct (though luau doesn't really have this)

[native orchid]

How about an array

[mystic grotto]

true but then you now run into what each index really represents; a struct uses pretty much the same amount of memory and is far more readable 🤷‍♂️

[native orchid]

I'm not saying this is wrong, milking clueless employers is awesome and I love job security

[mystic grotto]

no i agree that most enterprise code is generally not that good and doesn't use oop that well. I don't even use oop that much but I don't think it deserves that bad of a rep, especially when executed well

[native orchid]

Look around at modern software and reconsider that take

[mystic grotto]

which part do you disagree with?

[native orchid]

Computers have never been faster, dogshit has never run slower

[native orchid]

That OOP is not deserving of its reputation

Ask yourself this; in 50 years will people jokingly get Cyberpunk to run on a microwave, the way people do with DOOM today?

[wraith leaf]

well how do we fix this code?

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

local maxStamina = humanoid:GetAttribute("MaxStamina")

local screen = script.Parent
local staminaBar = screen:WaitForChild("StaminaBar")
local remaining = staminaBar:WaitForChild("Remaining")

humanoid:GetAttributeChangedSignal("Stamina"):Connect(function()
local stamina = humanoid:GetAttribute("Stamina")
remaining.Size = UDim2.new(0, 0, 1, (1 - (stamina / maxStamina)))
end)

[placid agate]

i was excited to see a fellow oop defender then disappointed when scrolling up 😔

[native orchid]

OOP is demonstrably bad for performance of programs, so at least it must make projects easier to manage, or make the lives of programmers easier right?

[placid agate]

i think where i choose to use it i get positive returns from it.

[native orchid]

If that were true then why do you need 2,000 Indians to make a messaging app these days?

Programs have never done less in more time

[placid agate]

depends on the application.

[native orchid]

Quintillions of clock cycles have been wasted by OOP

[placid agate]

yeah but most computers can afford the waste and programs need to be written for humans more than they need to be written for computers.

[native orchid]

Right, OOP makes things easier for the programmers, which is why Uber employs 2,000 software engineers

[supple burrow]

and your back

lol

[native orchid]

you’re, learn the syntax

[placid agate]

idk anything about uber's design, codebase, or services. it's hard to blame that on a paradigm.

[native orchid]

It’s a messaging app, you click the button and it charges your credit card and sends a message to a driver

And yet somehow with 2,000 engineers and a quadrillion dollars the app barely fucking works

[latent gust]

Spread across a dozen companies and the global market

[tall phoenix]

Uber aint need allat bru

[latent gust]

There’s 200 at Uber eats in America

[native orchid]

Yes they do, because of OOP

[tall phoenix]

Object Oriented Programing?

[tall phoenix]

Wdym bruv?

[native orchid]

You could write Uber Eats in like three weeks

[latent gust]

I could. You couldn’t. 🤣

[native orchid]

[tall phoenix]

As in the app

Im to lazy to learn swift

[supple burrow]

prototypes are trivial, scale is hard

[latent gust]

There’s a lot of policy involved in programming there it’s not just writing simple code

[tall phoenix]

backend development is where its at

[tall phoenix]

If your talking abt the legal side then yh

[native orchid]

What problems does scale introduce in this example?

[latent gust]

Yeah most of them work on niches with laws in the locale they have to write code against

[tall phoenix]

Trying to claim certain code is difficult

[supple burrow]

You're asking what scaling problems uber could have?

[tall phoenix]

very general

Its like saying "I claim the hamburger"

😭

Tbh a lot of development is very simple

its consistency and scaling thats hard

[native orchid]

Yes what kinds of problems would be introduced at scale that would be alleviated by throwing 2,000 engineers into the mix

[latent gust]

They also have hundreds of interns that factor in to that old 2,000 number. Recently they had layoffs.

[tall phoenix]

lets say you want to code a bot to make 1 simple command thats easy

[latent gust]

Most interns aren’t even comp sci graduates

[tall phoenix]

but imaginje asking to make 2000 simple commands

Interning for uber is lowkey an L

[latent gust]

They get in through a program that is basically dei

[tall phoenix]

so many better places for less

[supple burrow]

i genuinely can't tell if this is rage bait

if not you have the dumbest takes in the world

[native orchid]

It’s not, I’m genuinely curious what you’ll say

What are these problems

[tall phoenix]

I swear people in this chat never help bruh its js arguments

oh wait this is discussion not help

js change ts to "code debate" atp

[native orchid]

“code bait”

[tall phoenix]

😭

@supple burrow you cant make a claim then not back it

dont call it a dumb take then give no response to it

"I genuinely can't tell if this is rage bait" is not a response bruv

[native orchid]

The takes that align with the standards that made the industry a dumpster fire are the correct ones, yes?

[tall phoenix]

The code industry going to hell

All our jobs are gonna belong to AI soon

[placid agate]

idk how you're just deciding it's oop's vault.

[native orchid]

What job?

[tall phoenix]

Software Engineering

[latent gust]

Maybe your job lol

[native orchid]

No I mean specifically what job, are you employed?

[placid agate]

what company is using a different paradigm offering services at the same scale of uber with an incredibly lean team of developers?

[latent gust]

Ai will replace the idiots of their respective fields

[tall phoenix]

No but im hoping to be a software engineer

[tall phoenix]

You included nobody likes a guy who can't be humble

[latent gust]

Says the dude who can’t learn html

Full of bozo takes

[tall phoenix]

What 😭

I already know HTML

So does like the other 90% of the planet

[latent gust]

You not included

[native orchid]

Not many because it is seemingly more profitable to structure your company as a wasteful bozo clusterfuck

[tall phoenix]

IS that all you come here for to trash on other people clearly somebody got laid off with the uber workers

[latent gust]

I came here to honk bozo noses. Let me see that schnoz bro

[tall phoenix]

"How can I prove to myself I need to find a new job"

Clearly you got to much time on your hands

[latent gust]

I never been laid off broski

[tall phoenix]

Your right never employed to begin with

[latent gust]

Been in software engineering like 17 years now

[placid agate]

like i'll accept that uber is wasteful and their structure sucks but i do not think that's because of oop. you have plenty of companies with small teams offering multiple services using the paradigm without fault.

[latent gust]

Yes bozo you’re right lol

Put the fries in the bag

[tall phoenix]

Have you been sleeping for 17 years I think you might need to wake up

Cause clearly you been dreaming to long

[latent gust]

Yes great take

Sleeping with your mom

Got em

[tall phoenix]

Minimum age for this guy is like 40 and this is what your saying

🤣

[latent gust]

You’re actually unemployed though

Mfw

[tall phoenix]

Cause your choosing to argue with a teenager 😂

[latent gust]

Ethered

Hop on Roblox bro you’re through

[native orchid]

Without fault, except that their shit sucks and crashes and is slow and uses too much memory

[tall phoenix]

Apperently you're a super busy software engineer yet you sit in a discord server arguing with teenagers.

[native orchid]

but other than that, without fault

[placid agate]

hey.com is none of those things.

[latent gust]

I’m on Amtrak, perfect time to dump on a bozo tbh

[native orchid]

This broke fool can't even afford a jet

[tall phoenix]

Again my I ask how a person who thinks the most important thing they can do is argue with teenagers is a software engineer, you seem like the most dislikable person hell I doubt you can even code you just come here to feel special cause everyone knows your an idiot in real life.

[latent gust]

Fries. Bag.

[tall phoenix]

Dumbass. Mothers basement.

[latent gust]

You should take this opportunity to improve your customer service skills you’ll need it in your future

[tall phoenix]

You should take this opportunity to head over to mcdonalds I hear they are hiring and your mom doesn't want a 40 year old living with her.

[latent gust]

Imagine using the same insult someone already used

Plus you actually live with your parents

Mfw

[tall phoenix]

Imagine being a 35-40 year old arguing with a teenager.

[latent gust]

Imagine being a teenager with no prospects, getting demolished by a guy laughing to himself on a train

Delighting in your squirming tbh

[tall phoenix]

Anything you say to me will never make the situation better for yourself you are a person whose life has such little meaining and purpose that the best thing you can do with your day is come into a discord server and act like you actually have a few braincells cause no one buys your shitty act in real life.

[latent gust]

Actually I had a bangin ham and cheese croissant today

Shit was cash

[tall phoenix]

Pittiful tbh

[latent gust]

I know bro you’re sad

You have no backbone tbh

If I were you I would actually be insulting me

You’re just taking it like a good boy

Asking for more from papa with every reply

[tall phoenix]

Wow so a pedophil e I can only imagine what other things you are

[latent gust]

Aww cute did you learn that word from your fathers court proceedings

[frosty crag]

wtf 😭

[latent gust]

Mfw

[supple burrow]

I'll accept uber and most companies have waste in their employees, but it obviously needs to be a large number. Uber likely has tens of large scale services that need to be constantly maintained.

This thread explains it fairly well
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25376346

[tall phoenix]

Is this what you spent the last 15 minutes typing.

[supple burrow]

I havent spent the last 15 minutes typing

[latent gust]

Look at what you spent the last 15 minutes typing 😭😭😭

[tall phoenix]

Says the pedo

[latent gust]

Bro got whipped so bad he whipped out the p word

[supple burrow]

making the app itself isnt hard, scaling it is

[jaunty fable]

@tall phoenix just ignore lol

there are so many ppl in here that want to create arguements

[tall phoenix]

I swear pedos be showin up everywhere nowadays

[latent gust]

Yeah good advice, maybe he’ll stop himself from looking worse at this point

[tall phoenix]

This dudes a pedo not js an argument 😭

[jaunty fable]

i didnt read the chat low key

[latent gust]

Bro can go back to complaining about how his dads fingers are too thick and html is too hard to learn

Mfw

[tall phoenix]

THis dude is 40 saying this shit when he knows its a teenager

[sturdy field]

Anyone know what "CopyTexture::Skylight" tag is in MicroProfiler? Isn't documented or anything.

[latent gust]

Yeah bro and all thirty million people saying good boy are problematic lol

[tall phoenix]

Creppy guy 😂

[latent gust]

Bro is really using a meme to slur someone

Just smile and take it like a good boy bro

[tall phoenix]

Big difference when its a 40 year old saying it to a teen

[latent gust]

You should take it like a good boy

[native orchid]

None of this matters because the app breaks constantly and in most cases can't do the most basic shit

[placid agate]

uber doesn't know about the 800 SaaS they could be using instead to make their app maintained by 6 and a half people. 🫵 😂

[native orchid]

so who cares about their high minded mega services

[latent gust]

Multi billion dollar global and publicly traded company broski

[supple burrow]

i've never had any issues with the app

[native orchid]

You've probably just consumed so much soy that you can't even recognize buggy software anymore

the brainwashing is sad

[supple burrow]

lmao

[placid agate]

how many people you think work on the mcdonalds app? ts is buns icl.

[tall phoenix]

who even uses uber eats is the question 😭

[native orchid]

10,000 at least

[brisk frigate]

They don't deliver to me

[tall phoenix]

who cares bruh the deals are gas

[latent gust]

I know someone in here who works for McDonald’s

[native orchid]

and you're right, typescript is buns

[latent gust]

Does that count

[supple burrow]

@native orchid have you ever worked at a company lol

[native orchid]

Yeah, shit sucked

[tall phoenix]

Why cant the McDonalds app js reset when I spend my fkin money like ts cant be that hard but then again ive never made a mobile app

[placid agate]

me waiting for the example of a c codebase with few developers serving at uber scale: 🙃

[brisk frigate]

👴

[native orchid]

The fucking post office?

[latent gust]

Instacart was pre acquisition

[brisk frigate]

Lol I like post offices

[placid agate]

instacart is written in c?

[latent gust]

JavaScript and uh I can’t remember maybe just js

[placid agate]

no shot any silicon valley company is writing much c. it does not align with the goal of them at all.

[native orchid]

Yeah the goal of making software that actually works?

[latent gust]

I worked for a real time bidding ad company acquired by google written in c we had like 4 engineers and sold for just under a billion

[brisk frigate]

i like senters

I mean something elsebut I forgot

[latent gust]

Some tech is simple and their market is simple

Uber has a complex market

[placid agate]

they are all shoveling the most high-level languages to get a working product that they can hyperscale by speedrunning the us national debt then doing an IPO or being bought by private equity.

[native orchid]

Wow that's bozo shit, you didn't glue together a trillion microservices?

[latent gust]

Nah just c and perl for the ad server

But

[native orchid]

Are you even programming if you aren't linking together libraries you don't understand?

[latent gust]

The data matching part where we looked at the data from wholesalers to match your profile was a mess

That was like 200 different companies we had to interface with without a unified standard

[native orchid]

My guess is that it was fast, worked, and it wasn't actually that hard to write

yes?

[latent gust]

Yeah the whole meat of the product was simple. Written by one guy in a week

Using Perl mainly then extended with c

[native orchid]

Insane that you didn't have six meetings daily

[latent gust]

We did when google came knocking

[native orchid]

sounds like the work of amatures, ngl

You should ideally be spending 95% of the development cycle discussing philisophical topics and not writing code

[latent gust]

There’s a big market for rtb

[native orchid]

How many SCRUM MASTERS did you have?

[latent gust]

Anyone who gets good traffic either signs up for double click or google or makes their own

Double click is google these days

I think we had one scrum master

When I started at google post acquisition it was a big change

[native orchid]

I'm sure as soon as you walked in the door all of your competence and drive evaporated instantly

[latent gust]

They took our team and put us on a three year integration plan and folded in people from their rtb teams

[native orchid]

and you did nothing of value after that point

[latent gust]

Well yeah but it was masked by the free lunches

[native orchid]

That's what software is actually about

[latent gust]

One job I had was at we work and they had beer kegs in the kitchen

[native orchid]

who cares if our shit runs like ass and crashes, we have a room full of legos and a chef

[latent gust]

Guys I worked with would drink out of coffee mugs at 10 am

Truly brain dead

[native orchid]

Can you blame me for overcompensating and deciding to hate whatever those people like?

[latent gust]

No but all lines of work typically have waste at the highest levels

People and processes that are useless and suboptimal

[native orchid]

Computers were supposed to make us better, but they actually just made us worse faster

[latent gust]

Hmmm I’d have to think on that one

Before computers I made $7 an hour

[native orchid]

We've never been able to be this stupid this quickly

[latent gust]

Now I earn about 162k with a vdc

[native orchid]

What was it like back in the 1930s?

[latent gust]

Hah

[native orchid]

$7 was quite a lot!

[latent gust]

The minimum wage was dog shit until like 10 years ago

Also the federal minimum wage is like $6 still

In New York it’s now $15 but a decade ago it was closer to $7 or $8

Making $7 an hour 20 years ago was average

Now it’s poverty level

Perhaps a reason

you should also be caching the result

you know of any other api thingy

how do people use modulescripts but like.. actually

[native orchid]

What do you mean?

[idle sand]

Just

People scripting with modulescripts i jjst dont understand

Like

I get that its for universal functions but how do people use it like that

[native orchid]

-- Module script
local module = {}

module.SomeData = nil

return module


-- Script 1
local module = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Module)

module.SomeData = 10


-- Script 2
local module = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Module)

print(module.SomeData) --> nil probably

task.wait()

print(module.SomeData) --> 10

Global table?

[covert ibex]

ye use _g for global table

[native orchid]

-- Module script
local module = {}

module.DealDamage = function(attacker, target, amount, damageType)
    if not attacker or not target then
        return
    end
    
    local health = target:GetAttribute("Health")
    local maxHealth = target:GetAttribute("MaxHealth")
    
    if target:GetAttribute("Invincible") then

        target:SetAttribute("OnFireSeconds", 5)
    elseif damageType == "Blunt" then
        local armor = target:GetAttribute("Armor")
        
        if armor < amount then
            health = math.clamp(health - (amount / 2), 0, maxHealth)
        end
    else
        health = math.clamp(health - amount, 0, maxHealth)

module.DealDamage(player1, player2, 100, blunt)

[idle sand]

Thank you :]

[balmy marsh]

I have no clue what is happening in code-help so I may as well ask here,

I am very hesitant to use the base animate script found in the character, but is it a bad idea to have animations depend on conditionals in a renderstep? It's what I have been doing, but it's proven very tedious (mainly due to detecting playerstates on a loop). Is there any better method I should be using for this?

I have been just modifying weights based on movement, however things like jump only trigger for split seconds

[native orchid]

Usually keeping things event driven is based, but there are a lot of cases where you need to switch animations based on something that is unrelated to any event or to an event that would be firing every frame anyways

so nah, if you want to use a renderstep update function go for it

[balmy marsh]

My #1 issue right now is mainly just jumping

[native orchid]

So you jump and it switches the animation but then it switches immediately to something else?

[balmy marsh]

Yeah, because it's a renderstep it constantly runs the conditional, since jump only triggers for a split second that means I'd need ANOTHER conditional to detect freefall, etc.

It's constantly checking for unique situations which can get messy

I may switch to event-based to see if that helps

let me experiment a bit with events to see how it works

[native orchid]

I mean... that's just how this goes

[balmy marsh]

if I must have 20 unique conditionals then I will do such but I will do my best to

avoid that fate

[native orchid]

Why is that a fate to be avoided?

[balmy marsh]

readability and functionality

[native orchid]

How are you doing the conditionals?

[balmy marsh]

this right now which is why i'm trying to avoid having to account for too many things, i guarantee there is an infinitely cleaner and better way to do this

i am using weights so i can cleanly transition between them

[native orchid]

If you're worried about this I'd write a function that helps you out with this

[balmy marsh]

a framework so i could get an idea would be appreciated ^^

[native orchid]

local animationTracks = {
    IdleCycle,
    WalkCycle,
    Jump,
    Falling
}

local function switchAnimation(newAnimation)
    for _, animation in animationTracks do
        local value = (animation == newAnimation) and 1 or 0
        
        animation:AdjustWeight(value)
    end
end

[balmy marsh]

let me see how this works, thanksies 😄

i forgot to disable auto emoji

[native orchid]

auto what

[balmy marsh]

discord setting

turns :D into 😄 for example

[native orchid]

Ah I see

I thought you meant it added emojis to your messages automatically

[balmy marsh]

i am not that impatient fortunately

[native orchid]

For a moment I thought I was living in some kind of horrible cyberpunk hellscape 😄

[vital parrot]

Is there a way to indentify self in typechecking for metatables?

I'm trying to do methods

[green basin]

You put the object for the first parameter

[vital parrot]

this is what I'm talking about

self is unidentified

tried a lot of other methods

still learning typechecking so Im not the best

[dark juniper]

uhhhh

U can just disable animation overlap

or whatever its called

[dark juniper]

you dont return setmetatable

[green basin]

Tbh I'm not too big on type casting but if you want auto complete when you type self you could do:

self = self :: Account

Use that as the first line of your method

[vital parrot]

wdym

[hasty mesa]

its fine to do that

[dark juniper]

do

local self = setmetatable({
    self.Name = Name;
    self.Cash = 0;
}, BankSystem)

return self

oh wait

also you gotta return

for your addcash

[vital parrot]

it doesnt really matter how you return it

[dark juniper]

if your using strict

[green basin]

It's the same thing bru

[vital parrot]

it's the same

[dark juniper]

ok but did u return

addcash

[green basin]

What're u actually yapping about

[vital parrot]

that's not the problem though the problem is that self is unidentified

[visual minnow]

can someone

[dark juniper]

U also might wanna specify number in return parameters

[hasty mesa]

^ self=self::Account

[vital parrot]

I know how to work meta tables just not typechecking

[vital parrot]

that didnt seem to work tbh

[hasty mesa]

can you show the result

[dark juniper]

BankSystem:AddCash(Amount : number) :: number

did you try this

[vital parrot]

still same error

[hasty mesa]

you do it in the method

[green basin]

💀

[dark juniper]

might be your typeof thing then

[hasty mesa]

X:method()
self = self::object
--other
end

[dark juniper]

is account your internal

[green basin]

Didn't I say that? I might have dementia ngl

[dark juniper]

@vital parrot

why are you using the & sign with a blank metatable before it

[vital parrot]

oh

[dark juniper]

whats the reasoning behind that

[vital parrot]

I hate doing it that way because you have to add it every single time

[green basin]

If you're on strict mode it'll shout at you

[vital parrot]

ye

[dark juniper]

ye but why using the & in the first place, shouldnt you only be using that for your internal stuff

[green basin]

I normally just do

local self = setmetatable({}, Class) :: Class

[green basin]

It combines types

[dark juniper]

ah yes I see now

[vital parrot]

I'm still really new at it so

Like 2 hours in

[dark juniper]

I only use it when I see another script using it

then I learn how to incorporate it

I'll probs use it eventually

[candid abyss]

can anyone test my code and rate it

[green basin]

Tbh I only do it when I write classes/objects. Sometimes when I write functions and I want the auto complete

[candid abyss]

this is a head bobbing script, make sure it's in first person and put it inside of starterPlayerScripts

[dark juniper]

strict goofy ah

[dark juniper]

uhhh is this ai

[candid abyss]

no

[dark juniper]

explain what this do

func4 = lerp(func4, math.sin(tick() * int) / 5 * math.min(1, int2 / 10), 0.25 * deltaTime)

(I already understand your code)

@candid abyss

...?

awfully long time....

[candid abyss]

am I applying to a rank role

seems like a random person is trying to waste my time

[dark juniper]

gng

I was gonna rate your code

but you first gotta explain to me you understand what your writing

[candid abyss]

also a person that has alot of experience in coding knows what AI code looks like

that is DEFINITELY not it

[dark juniper]

less yap more explain...

do U want me to rate your code or not

[candid abyss]

can anyone test this code, it's a head bobbing script and it goes inside of StarterPlayerScript, also rate it

[dark juniper]

i was joking about the ai thing btw, ur code looks legit but the lerping part doesnt make sense to me

[crisp rose]

Can u make a code for me?

[candid abyss]

no

not working for free

[crisp rose]

Ight

Worth a shot

[wide aurora]

while true do end

[fallow sandal]

I want to make something so every induvial player will see the npcs with there friends avatars. my problem with my current code is it only uses the avatars from one players friend list and since you cant use ApplyDescription on the client every player sees the same npcs. is there a way so I can make it different for each individual player?

[balmy wedge]

make the npcs on everyone's client

dont just apply descriptions to preexisting ones

[fallow sandal]

Smart but would this affect if I was checking when a player interacted with a prompt on a npc if it was on the client. If I wanted to add a value to the players leaderstats through the server could I still do this?

[green basin]

What is it? If it's simple I'd do it

[balmy wedge]

you can create invisible dummy parts with the prompt on them

or just over engineer it

[fallow sandal]

So the server wouldn't be able to detect a prompt being clicked if it is on the client correct? But if I use remote events would that work?

[balmy wedge]

i mean it could work

but thats over engineering and you can just detect the click on the server

[fallow sandal]

With the way you were saying or how?

[balmy wedge]

create a dummy part

set up ur interact ui thing

then when a player joins

create a dummy in the position of the dummy part

[fallow sandal]

Ohh I see

Ty

[prime cave]

Is this a good qoute?
The past is for those who don’t share the present. The present is for those who are ready to face the future. And the future is for those who create ones of the past.

[oak frost]

is there a way to fire a remote and get a response from firing once

like you fire server and then it echos a result to the client

[dreamy arrow]

use a remotefunction

[oak frost]

alright ty

[shy dock]

can somebody somebody give me an idea for something to script (im a beginner, dont ask me to make a whole entire soulslike game 😭)

[night mauve]

anyone know why r15 rag doll script used on r6, makes the r6 rag doll weird?

[fickle moat]

Make a combat system

[eager dagger]

smth funny:
asthma system

[shy dock]

ill try

[tawdry terrace]

anyone know how to make, you are in combat tag

[eager dagger]

huh

make combat what?

like add a tag to the player when he's in combat mode?

[tawdry terrace]

Whatever this is

[eager dagger]

basically when ur attacking someone check if their player got an attribute called: InCombat and if not then add one called inCombat and set to true, and after some delay set to false

[gloomy kraken]

yeah just do what rony said and add a tag to the player, and then make a frame visible when the player is in combat

[tawdry terrace]

I’m having trouble changing the value

[eager dagger]

like do:

if not playerWhoAttacked: GetAttribute ("InCombat") then
       playerWhoAttacked:SetAttribute("InCombat", true)
end

[tawdry terrace]

oh yea get attribute

Ty

[eager dagger]

no prob

[tawdry terrace]

one last question how do I detect when player is attacking and who’s getting attacked

[eager dagger]

dude, why am i ur teacher ITS NOT THAT HARD 😭

[tawdry terrace]

sorry

by the humanoid health change?

[eager dagger]

who fired the remote? the player who hit, who is he attacking? the player who the hitbox touched

[tawdry terrace]

oh what if you have multiple sources

[gloomy kraken]

wdym multiple sources

[eager dagger]

then the hitbox will get all of them

[eager dagger]

2 chars and not 1

[gloomy kraken]

then the remote event will fire individually

[tawdry terrace]

like for example you have different hit boxand remote for each attack I guess

[eager dagger]

just fire a imaginary hitbox on the client and then if there is something do the same thing on the server

[gloomy kraken]

i would handle hitboxes on the server instead of client because of exploiters

[eager dagger]

OMG NO

One on the client

if there is smth then fire server

and do the SAME thing

[gloomy kraken]

yeah thats what i meant bruh

[eager dagger]

and if not then just do on server

[eager dagger]

you said just server

[gloomy kraken]

plus im assuming that the remote event only triggers if the player has hit something

[eager dagger]

yes

idk what abt U i wanna make repo on Roblox 😔

[worn pilot]

what r some justfinisheda30parttutorial things i can make that r easy and for practice

[gloomy kraken]

wdym by just finished a 30 part tutorial

[eager dagger]

make a door and a key and make key open door

[worn pilot]

on how to script

[eager dagger]

search

[cold stone]

am i stupid or

why is equipped = nil

if i print it

[lean ocean]

this looks fine to me

the script

[trim fable]

might be a variable mismatch

[cold stone]

i know thats what im trynna say

[cold stone]

lemme retry

[trim fable]

I'm not good fixing scripts but try this

local Equipped = false

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
Equipped = true
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
Equipped = false
end)

[dry walrus]

You declared variable Equipped but never assigned it in the first place. You may have printed the value before it even changed.

[cold stone]

ts is nil like what

[cold stone]

no its ina mouse.move

so its constantly changing

[trim fable]

is that your whole script?

[spiral jungle]

Show the whole script

[trim fable]

yeah.

[cold stone]

just that bit is all u guys need see

[trim fable]

paste the whole script in here

[cold stone]

shouldnt it change if i equip tool?

[trim fable]

we can't help unless we see whole thing...

it could be something else.

[cold stone]

alr

[trim fable]

well..

[cold stone]

i doubt it tho

[trim fable]

js send it

[cold stone]

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Block = ReplicatedStorage.GhostBlock

local Tool = script.Parent

local Stud = 1
local GhostBlock = Block:Clone()
GhostBlock.Parent = game.Workspace
GhostBlock.Transparency = .5
GhostBlock.CanCollide = false

Mouse.TargetFilter = GhostBlock

local Equipped
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    Equipped = true
end)

    Equipped = false
end)

Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
    print(Equipped)
    if Equipped == true then
        local MousePos = Mouse.Hit.Position
        local BlockPos = Vector3.new(0, Block.Size.Y / 2, 0)
        BlockPos += MousePos

        local XPos = math.round(BlockPos.X / Stud) * Stud
        local YPos = math.round(BlockPos.Y)
        local ZPos = math.round(BlockPos.Z / Stud) * Stud
        BlockPos = Vector3.new(XPos, YPos, ZPos)

        GhostBlock.Position = BlockPos
    end
    
end)

Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    if Equipped == true then
        local NewBlock = GhostBlock:Clone()

        NewBlock.Position = GhostBlock.Position
        NewBlock.CanCollide = true
        NewBlock.Transparency = 0
    end
end)

its literally nothing else

[dry walrus]

Replace the line:

local Equipped

To

local Equipped = false

If you want it to be something else than nil.

[cold stone]

no it works

the script itself inside the events work

[trim fable]

what works?

[cold stone]

ight

[trim fable]

take this to #code-help

[cold stone]

the script inside the events

oh yeahh

whoops wrong thing

[latent monolith]

yo guys

if i use ai to script

thats alr right

[lean ocean]

no that's not alright

cause you won't get far

stop trying to take shortcuts and just do it the normal way

[paper imp]

u can use it as a assistant

you*

there's nothing wrong with using AI for coding unless you fully rely on it

[lean ocean]

well I just assumed he meant fully rely

[paper imp]

no worries

[gloomy kraken]

no, ai code is full of unoptimised code

and its really bad at debugging

[paper imp]

you can use it as an assistant.

[latent monolith]

i am learning tho i just wanted to try ai scripting as people say its good and fatser

is this a decent logic

[shell heart]

Yes

[shell heart]

Did your ledge grabbing system contain alot of math

Just wondering

[paper imp]

nah, but my directional moving did have moderate level math

[shell heart]

like trig and such?

im guessing since ur character is facing a certain direction

[brisk frigate]

cerebral palsy

[paper imp]

wdym

[brisk frigate]

I think he’s referring to use the laws of triangles in unison with the laws of vectors/CFrame and their exotic operations (dot/cross) to calculate the ideal direction for something

[jolly harbor]

you shouldn't have to run IsStudio since datastores are locked in studio

[shell heart]

yeah

@paper imp ^

[paper imp]

you can check the source code, however its old, i don't fully remember but i don' think it uses dot nor cross

and the direction of movement is retreived from the humanoid movedirection

[thorn frigate]

what math did u use then

[paper imp]

i said i don't remember

i might remove it from my portfolio thew source code looks messy

same for flappy bird

[sterile lodge]

dam

[paper imp]

do you guys have any ideas on what i should add to my portfolio

projects

[thorn frigate]

combat system

[paper imp]

would be cool lol

[crimson pendant]

why do people start taking coms with no personal projects

😭

i got like 5 people dming me with 0 projects what so ever

[thorn frigate]

maybe to fund for future projects

[paper imp]

but would require animations alot

[copper apex]

If u actually use it to learn, and not just copy and paste yes

Its a very powerful learnign tool

[thorn frigate]

i mean u could use free anims, theyre hiring u for the code not the anims

[thorn frigate]

not really

its good only for syntax

[paper imp]

free animations are not the best and the availability is also not the best

[thorn frigate]

not actual coding

[copper apex]

It is

[sterile lodge]

yh

[copper apex]

It still lacks yeah, but its still powerful

[paper imp]

some people actually assume the more awesome the visuals are the better you can code

[thorn frigate]

99% of the time the code will either not work or be half functional

[copper apex]

Not true at all

It sucks but its still HELPFUL

[thorn frigate]

true, but combat systems are high demand

i personally dont find it helpful

to each to their own i guessa

[paper imp]

did you try perplexity.ai

[copper apex]

Many great programmers use AI on a daily basis

[sterile lodge]

no

[thorn frigate]

i use that for research

[paper imp]

mathwise it can code WAY better than chatgpt

[sterile lodge]

for a portafolio

the best game

[copper apex]

Especially for debugging

[sterile lodge]

is a rng skibidi toilet tower defense

[copper apex]

Why make it harder on urself when AI is such a resource

[thorn frigate]

[copper apex]

Bro im not tell u thei rnames tf

[sterile lodge]

cant do hight level

[crimson pendant]

ok i agree with point 1
but how is ai unethical?

[thorn frigate]

uses data they dont have permission to use for training

thats literally the fuss over ai art

[paper imp]

i think once we reach AGI its going to be fun

its one step closer to super intellegence

[crimson pendant]

do they gather their data from open sources?

[thorn frigate]

wdym?

[copper apex]

I was talking to someone who wanted to learn

[crimson pendant]

where

do they get their data from

[paper imp]

i think its a combination of internet scraping and actual researchers

[thorn frigate]

litearlly from everywhere

[crimson pendant]

so open sources

alright!

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-james-crying-hug-cavs-nba-sad-gif-11873768

[paper imp]

yeah but if its literally from everywhere theyr answers would be hurrendous they do need actual professionals telling them whats right and wrong

it takes one search to verify what ur saying

💀

[crimson pendant]

aw so ur saying im right :)

thank you

[copper apex]

How is AI consuming lots of energy

[thorn frigate]

FYM HOW

[copper apex]

Explain to me

[paper imp]

nah have you heard open ai new model databases consuming like almost 1% of the entire world energy or something

[crimson pendant]

@thorn frigate GTP-3 only takes like 100+ of annual household energy use for training

[thorn frigate]

thats probably for training

[copper apex]

Its nothing compared to most sources of energy

[thorn frigate]

and energy isnt the only problem

[mortal lance]

👍

[paper imp]

thats chatgpt 4

chatgpt 3 required like 40-48 times less than gpt 4

the future generations would be even more energy hefty

50 giggawat hours can power roughly 5k households for a year in the us

[mortal lance]

i just realised my dumbass put a completely useless variable for leaderstats😭

i literally had it right there im gonna crash out

Oh no

What are we gonna do now

[mortal lance]

calmly inform a responsible adult

[crimson pendant]

name some more pls

I love kittens

[worthy turret]

building is way better than scripting

[idle sand]

Yeah but i cant build and i can script

[worthy turret]

scripting = baaaaaaaad

building = perfect

[idle sand]

Only way to make game work!!

[worthy turret]

nothing to make work without builds 🤷‍♂️

AI can script, AI can't build

building is superior

[idle sand]

Yuh huh

Attatchments!!

[charred night]

Guys how does one do modular and clean code without making it overly complicated and quitting 🪫

[idle sand]

Idk how people do modular code at all

[frozen swift]

Hi

[charred night]

uhh.. wit modules and abstract thinking

[idle sand]

Like how do people make games with only modulescripts

[frozen swift]

Theyre like scripts but have a dictionary bro

[charred night]

yeah i have no idea bri

[idle sand]

Explain

[frozen swift]

Module comes with a table
Scripts dont but overall theyre the same

[idle sand]

Cause i dont understand modulescripts at all

[frozen swift]

Its normak scripts but comes with a table instead of

print("hello world")```

[idle sand]

All i know is you can create functions to use in different scripts

[frozen swift]

Yea

Require and that stuff

[charred night]

so what did you not understand

[idle sand]

That doesnt explain how people can only use modulescripts to make an entire game

[frozen swift]

Bro its normal scripts

[charred night]

thats what im tryna know bro

[wanton ivy]

anyone help me import time

Define welding parameters

class WeldingMachine:
def init(self, temperature, speed, pressure):
self.temperature = temperature
self.speed = speed
self.pressure = pressure
self.welding_active = False

def start_welding(self):
    self.welding_active = True
    print("Starting welding...")
    time.sleep(1)
    self.perform_weld()

def perform_weld(self):
    print(f"Performing weld at {self.temperature}°C, speed: {self.speed} mm/s, pressure: {self.pressure} bar")
    # Simulate welding process (can be more detailed based on your needs)
    time.sleep(3)
    print("Welding complete.")
    self.check_quality()

def check_quality(self):
    # Simple weld quality check
    print("Checking weld quality...")
    time.sleep(1)
    quality = "Good" if self.temperature > 150 and self.pressure > 5 else "Poor"
    print(f"Weld quality: {quality}")
    self.stop_welding()

def stop_welding(self):
    self.welding_active = False
    print("Welding stopped.")

Instantiate the welding machine with sample parameters

welding_machine = WeldingMachine(temperature=200, speed=50, pressure=7)

Start welding process

welding_machine.start_welding() is that correct

[frozen swift]

IT HAS THE POWER OF NORMAL SCRIPTS SO THERES NO DIFFERENCE

[charred night]

they have 50 different modules and 1 normal script that requires and executes them

[charred night]

hell no bro this is oython 💀

[frozen swift]

Yea bro w

[wanton ivy]

i need it in lua

[idle sand]

Also i dont know how to do OOP 😭

I should learn that

[frozen swift]

Whats def is it like makjng a variable?

[charred night]

Its simple but once you learn it you tend to overcomplicate

[charred night]

like function in lua

[placid bramble]

its a function

[idle sand]

Teach me vro 🙏

[frozen swift]

Def is a function?

[charred night]

bro its the damn syntax

[wanton ivy]

-- Welding Machine Class
WeldingMachine = {}
WeldingMachine.__index = WeldingMachine

-- Constructor for the welding machine
function WeldingMachine.new(temperature, speed, pressure)
local self = setmetatable({}, WeldingMachine)
self.temperature = temperature or 200 -- Default temperature 200°C
self.speed = speed or 50 -- Default speed 50 mm/s
self.pressure = pressure or 7 -- Default pressure 7 bar
self.welding_active = false
return self
end

-- Start the welding process
function WeldingMachine:startWelding()
self.welding_active = true
print("Starting welding...")
-- Simulate the welding process with some delay
wait(1)
self:performWeld()
end

-- Perform the welding action
function WeldingMachine:performWeld()
print(string.format("Performing weld at %.1f°C, speed: %.1f mm/s, pressure: %.1f bar",
self.temperature, self.speed, self.pressure))
-- Simulate a welding process with a delay
wait(3)
print("Welding complete.")
self:checkQuality()
end

-- Check the quality of the weld
function WeldingMachine:checkQuality()
print("Checking weld quality...")
wait(1)
local quality = (self.temperature > 150 and self.pressure > 5) and "Good" or "Poor"
print("Weld quality: " .. quality)
self:stopWelding()
end

-- Stop the welding process
function WeldingMachine:stopWelding()
self.welding_active = false
print("Welding stopped.")
end

-- Wait function to simulate time passing (mimicking delays)
function wait(seconds)
local start = os.clock()
while os.clock() - start < seconds do end
end

-- Example of using the WeldingMachine class
local weldingMachine = WeldingMachine.new(200, 50, 7)

-- Start welding
weldingMachine:startWelding()
is thett it

[charred night]

are you alright

STOP SENDING TS BRO

[charred night]

million yt vids on it

[placid bramble]

function perform_weld() is def perform_weld():

[idle sand]

Alr

[frozen swift]

Ok

I turn it o lua

Gimme time

[charred night]

but the general idea is to have a class that represents some object or state and then you have methods to manipulate that object and thats object oriented programming

[junior crown]

welding machine framework leaked lvl 999

[frozen swift]

Temperature is not a thing in roblox

[idle sand]

Can you use that in some sort of table?

[frozen swift]

@wanton ivy

Temperature isnt a thing

Nor are all the other stuff

[idle sand]

Or are you able to apply a different variable name for each object

Or does it have to be self

[junior crown]

It's not as hard as it sounds, It's pretty much a lot of functions in a singular module script

you don't even need to watch a tutorial or some shit like that

It's insanely easy to learn

[frozen swift]

Watch the dev king

Best suggestion (idk but my opinion)

[charred night]

you can do something like

local Inventory = {}
Inventory.__index = Inventory

function Inventory.new(player: Player)
  local self = setmetatable({}, Inventory)
  self.Capacity = 100
  self.Data = {}
end

function Inventory:AddItem(...)

end

return Inventory
```  now this can be used for a player to store his inventory and the inventory itself has its own method and properties like Capacity or AddItem (im on mobile so ts is just an example)

[idle sand]

What does the __index mean

[copper apex]

U need scripting to make things alive

Cough cough, every game on roblox, except showcases

[junior crown]

You set the index for the metatable

It's not necessary

Idek why mfs use it

[pine chasm]

Showcases which don't even earn $ 😂

In fact you need scripting to add monetisation in any game

[charred night]

it is necessary

when you create a new instance of the object, the __index metamethod looks for the function implementation inside the class

[dusky relic]

@keen bloom

[charred night]

so you dont have to define functions inside the object, rather in the class

[junior crown]

???

how is this necessary

[charred night]

if you dont havr the __index metamethod set on the table itself, calling functions on instances of thst class wont work

[junior crown]

its not necessary blud

😭

[pine chasm]

For fetching data on indexing instead of directly storing it

It's necessary in some cases

[fresh lance]

So for example if i have a rarity in a table and set properties of it like color, text, size etc thats oop?

[charred night]

i will test it later

[charred night]

no thats just data in a table

[fresh lance]

Oh

[spark swallow]

    local Weld = Instance.new("Weld",hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart)
                Weld.Part0 = hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
                Weld.Name = "Grabbed"
                Weld.C1 = CFrame.new(0,0,-5) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, math.rad(180), 0)
                Weld.Part1 = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
                game.Debris:AddItem(Weld,10)

how can i make it so the player "controls" the other player(its random rn on who is controlling the weld)

[pine chasm]

Oop is useful when it comes to maintaining state, eg light switch with on and off state

[junior crown]

what is this bro

[fresh lance]

Aha

[fresh lance]

But i got a question

[copper apex]

Eggxactly

[pine chasm]

Mhm?

[fresh lance]

How you can tap? Go sleep

[pine chasm]

?

[fresh lance]

Tap like chicken

[charred night]

????

[pine chasm]

You good?

[fresh lance]

😂

Brotha you have a conor mcgregor pfp

You should understand the reference

[pine chasm]

No I prefer the goat Khabib

Conor got slapped in head so much

By this guy

[fresh lance]

Then why do u have conor as ur pfp 😂

[pine chasm]

Simple, y noy

[fresh lance]

Fair

[somber vault]

A question

Can someone here make me a script that u have to be in a group with a certain id and if you don’t you get kicked with a message saying: request to join the group to get acces to the experience

[pine chasm]

That's not a question ⁉️

That's a hiring message sir

Ask chatgpt

That's my homie, he does those for free

[raven bronze]

Theoretical question. How hard whould it be to code a ball mergige system? You have to balls you pushe them together than another bigger ball spawns, etc.

[pine chasm]

not hard at all; the difficult part imo would be showing that in a visually appealing way

[static coral]

anyone know why this says “error type”? the syntax is right and there is no errors but it doesnt want to autofill when i use a module for services. the first image is the module. it still does the same even if i replace the ReplicatedStorage = game:FindService or game:GetService with ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”). whenever i dont use the services module tho, it autofills. second image is with module, third image is without.

[bronze vigil]

currently working on an advanced hitbox (yes i know a basic box would work but im bored) it works perfectly for both r6 and r15, any ideas for what i should add/remove from it?

[pine chasm]

If it works perfectly...

[bronze vigil]

?

my goal it to make is as stupid as possible since im just messing around

im just asking for challenges rn basically

[static coral]

anyone?

[bronze vigil]

send a picture of the output whenever youre getting the error rq

[static coral]

i just said there is no error

and the output is fine with whichever method i use

[bronze vigil]

oh read it wrong mb

[static coral]

however the 2nd image says “error type” which does not make sense as the module is there

and all i did was require it

but when i dont use the services module it doesnt say error type

[pine chasm]

if u want a challenge, look into making plugins; hella challenge bc the docs are quite literally against you (non-existent)

otherwise I can't see hitboxes providing the kind of challenge ur looking for

[static coral]

they updated the docs though

for plugins specifically

[thorn frigate]

just use raycasts if u want precision 😭

[oblique epoch]

paying 5k for a scripter js get the work dont fast

[silver verge]

bro has made NOTHING 😭

if the part is positioned and sized the same as a limb, then its the same hitbox

ontop of the fact that the code there wasn't written by you

[dusky relic]

Wait...

why did he chatgpt it 😭

[silver verge]

💔

[brazen oasis]

DM ME RN IF U CAN SCRIPT PAYING HUGE

[round radish]

why are u checking limb.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart"

[bronze vigil]

Don’t want it to add a part to the root, only the limbs

[round radish]

ok

[pine chasm]

I only accept $math.huge

[restive wigeon]

module script vs. bindable event

which one is better?

[pine chasm]

most of the time, module script

[restive wigeon]

hmm, i'm guessing module script is safer cause you put it in replicatedStorage ( exploiters can't access replicatedStorage,right?)

[lean ocean]

they can

everything except serverscriptservice and serverstorage

[pine chasm]

Wdym by 'safer', are you looking into this bc of security concerns?

[restive wigeon]

no, performance and script readibility

[restive wigeon]

thanks

[pine chasm]

I've found module scripts and signals (signal library) work quite well for readability

[restive wigeon]

i guess i'll worry about putting safety precautions when I get good enough to write script that's worth putting percautions for
