Its good but i need to rehaul the conbat

Combat

Been starting that it seems promising so far

I mean the main issue with the current combat is like bugs and it feels clunky

[fervent karma]

yeah...

here's my combat system smooth?

[fervent karma]

i had that issue a lot of times

[somber vault]

new one feels fluid it just need to get the characters done

[somber vault]

is cool

[fervent karma]

also this one is handled all on the server

cause tsb handles they'res all on the server

[somber vault]

This needs particles and improvements cuz i made it in like rlly fast

[mossy yoke]

i have 0 knowledge when it comes to coding. so i js think of a random thing of what i want to code then look up how to do it? or wouldnt at least a tutorial on the basics help as well

[somber vault]

This hp bar is prob changing

[fervent karma]

peak

[tacit moss]

fire bro

[somber vault]

Also have this lol

This is kind of outdated slightly alr lol

[tacit moss]

even more fire bro

u hirin? lemem make acharacter

[somber vault]

No

Tis just a rehaul on the combat cuz the current is kind of ass

like clunky and buggy fr

it alr a finished game thi

[tacit moss]

anything i touch becomes gold i can help u big bro

[somber vault]

Tho*

This is so old now

i still hate that we needed to change the name cuz some other game took it after we existed for a while and got 10k players

Legal fees not worth it

[tacit moss]

ooo zee mama

sounds like money

look dms friend

[somber vault]

No thx

Already have a team

[tacit moss]

im still shooting

[somber vault]

Dont need 2 programmer

Progress alr good for the like 1-2 day of work i be doing so far on it

[tacit moss]

it would be 2x the work

fsater done

faster

[somber vault]

There isn’t really much to do rn anyways

Its more of move concepts and porting over things which is ez

[tacit moss]

porting over means re working

[somber vault]

move concept is a diff thing tho

[tacit moss]

optimizing?

[somber vault]

Not really

[tacit moss]

oh

[somber vault]

Most of the abil are ez cuz its just anim and use hitbox

or smth simple

[tacit moss]

mmmmmmmmmm

[somber vault]

I think I should rework melee to be not auto swing

[tacit moss]

did i hear rework

why i start smiling irl

ay bro this my specialty

[somber vault]

mobile ram usage is so weird on roblox in general

it make sense tho

Well its not mobile its like all device

[tacit moss]

yikes are u having memory leaks

[somber vault]

If u have more ram

Roblox use mucu more

[tacit moss]

i have dreams of about trove

[somber vault]

no

[tacit moss]

im a optimize demon

[somber vault]

I am talking abt how like

If i use mobile emulator and cap the ram at 2gb

Ram usage in this test place is like 600-700mb or smth but if u have more ram like if i use my iphone cuz it has much more ram it uses more cuz it supports it

its just roblox itself

[azure granite]

can u tell me some tips pls

[somber vault]

Not the game

[tacit moss]

and this is bad?

[somber vault]

Ram usuage p good i just find it weird how its done but idk how else they could do it lol

[somber vault]

no

Im just saying it

it like a interesting fact that all

[tacit moss]

i see

what do u do develop wise

or everything

[vague fiber]

A friend said this could be a animation code issue anyone have a Idea?

[minor night]

Using Humanoid:GetState() would be better than velocity but other then that I don't really know, or it could also be the StarterCharacter itself.

[clear mirage]

why does pathfinding service doing this

btw the door has a pathfindingmodifier that has passthrough enabled

[nimble coral]

just add Animate and humanoid to the starter character 😐

[vague fiber]

thats gonna fix the direction of where it moves to be normal?

[vague fiber]

i alr did that from the start that dosnt fix the animations velocity

[nimble coral]

because youre changing the velocity in the script skid

all you need is proper named parts, a humanoid and an animate script

[vague fiber]

that code up there is the animate script all my parts are named and have a motor6 connections and are all linked

unless ur meaning somthing else

[nimble coral]

😭

every character has this script

[vague fiber]

im not getting what ur saying

[nimble coral]

are you fucking slow

every character has a script made by roblox thats called Animate

[vague fiber]

no ur just fucking dog shit at explaining and listening

if u have been paying attention and not having the ego bigger than ur brain you would understand how stupid you sound rn

[nimble coral]

if you had 2 weeks experience in studio you would have understood

[vague fiber]

it dosnt come with a script u fucking nugget Ive stated multiple times its not a roblox model it dosnt come with the script. READ. I made the model the meshes the bones the code. ur absolutely 0 help muting filth and moving on

mabye try reading

not complicated

[nimble coral]

goodluck then

[vague fiber]

muted

[nimble coral]

💀

[vague fiber]

waste of time

all cause you cant read

[nimble coral]

if you used your brain

[vague fiber]

enjoy yapping to urslef

[nimble coral]

alr

enjoy struggling then if you dont need my help

[vague fiber]

If anyone who can actually read english and understand basic english wants to help feel free

[graceful jackal]

with what

[vague fiber]

I have a custom model

made a custom animation script

and its just got some funky movment

all animations work just has some weird velocity or somthing i have a video up here

[vague fiber]

^

[vague fiber]

nvm it was just the hip height had nothing to do with code or animation it was just too low

Dead cars :0

[hardy pilot]

Dead games

Nah I mean it looks great

Just couldve been a little more original

Considering it's copied beyond game concept

[tacit moss]

well it’s a template so it’s suppose to copy a games current framework

drag sell and weld 🫡

[hardy pilot]

Yeah but this also model and look

[lean ocean]

There's so many dead rails games

[mossy yoke]

very nice. just started developing hope to learn this soon

[floral lantern]

Can someone hire me please I am talented scripter I just need a small commison for like 500+ robux cuz my friends birthday Tommorow I can give id card for proof too

[stuck gazelle]

Can somone help me evertime i start the game these disapear and idk how to fix it

Before test run:

after test run:

[terse vector]

It is because you are on the client

You see where it says "Current: Client"

[stuck gazelle]

where?

[terse vector]

Next to the stop button

[stuck gazelle]

ohhh

i see

thank uu

im dumb

[terse vector]

No worries, you can change to the server view mid-test

[stuck gazelle]

wait

no thats not it i mean like without the spawns when im in game i can tp to them when i click arena

look

[terse vector]

Oh, it seems like it's not a perm problem my bad

Are they anchored?

[stuck gazelle]

yeah

[terse vector]

They could be falling off the map as the game is loading

[stuck gazelle]

nah i made sure they anchored

[terse vector]

To just disappear is impossible, do you have some code that might be deleting them?

[stuck gazelle]

oh wait

i forgot to un merge arena spawns from obby

that might be it

imma try and seperate em

see what it does

[tawdry terrace]

Is it ok to like add a value of my currency on client side?

[terse vector]

Never? Sounds like you know the answer...

[tawdry terrace]

ok

[hardy pilot]

What is the code

[stuck gazelle]

lemme get it

[hardy pilot]

I only need to know what it is checking for the warning and where is it indexing

[stuck gazelle]

the code is too long to send it says

[hardy pilot]

Yeah I dont need the entire source file

Find the warning and copy the snippet

[stuck gazelle]

ok

-- Arena Button Click Event
arenaButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if #arenaSpawns > 0 then
local randomSpawn = arenaSpawns[math.random(1, #arenaSpawns)]

    -- If the spawn is a model, find the part inside it
    local spawnPart = randomSpawn:FindFirstChildOfClass("Part")
    if spawnPart then
        teleportTo(spawnPart)
    else
        warn("No part found in spawn: " .. randomSpawn.Name)
    end
else
    warn("No arena spawns found in ArenaSpawns folder!")
end

end)

idk that

[hardy pilot]

ArenaSpawns doesnt exist

[stuck gazelle]

it does i sent photos the folder exist with spawns in it it just the spawns in it disapear when i test gmae

[hardy pilot]

Also maybe you should hire somebody or learn to at least code if you want to make a game

[hardy pilot]

Yeah but it is empty

[stuck gazelle]

how do i fix that

[hardy pilot]

How do you fix it being empty?

You add a thing

[stuck gazelle]

it has tuff in it check the first image i sent

stuff*

mb

but once i clicked start it disapears

[hardy pilot]

Its probably falling into the void and getting destroyed

[stuck gazelle]

I FIGURED IT OUT

it keeps disapearing bc i built it in the void

aint no way i just tested it by bring an item back to base level

[ornate bough]

Who here knows how to spoof animations and do whole gun scripts and complicated stuff like gun skins and bullet trail colors

And who here is active

[cinder basalt]

Typa combo question is that

U spoof animation using animation spoofer

[ornate bough]

A question saying that I’m willing to hire someone on stand by

[cinder basalt]

Someone to steal anims for u

Wild

[ornate bough]

Wjat

What

Games use spoofs all the time

[ornate bough]

Atleast I think they do

[cinder basalt]

[cinder basalt]

Spoofed anims = stolen anims

[ornate bough]

WHAT

I didn’t know that

[cinder basalt]

Okay unless u are buying a game or its opensource

[ornate bough]

It’s open source

Like it was already spoofed

[cinder basalt]

Spoofing is for fixing the goddamn anims cus roblox has to make shitty annoying 'anti theft'

[ornate bough]

And it’s already there

[cinder basalt]

Good

[ornate bough]

It’s annoying as hell to do though

Cuz Roblox breaks animations

[ornate bough]

Yes it does

[cinder basalt]

Na it doesnt u prolly do something wrong

[ornate bough]

Wdym

[cinder basalt]

Theres spoofer plugins

[ornate bough]

Yeah I know

But it’s annoying to use those in general

[cinder basalt]

U mean break as them working only in original owners game

Then thats what i said

Why repeat

U create confusion

Chaos

[ornate bough]

My bad

I do that often

Im really bad at explaining things

I have to back track pretty often

[cinder basalt]

😔 🙏

[ornate bough]

NO

[cinder basalt]

Ok well the point being i wont help cus im not even on my pc 😈

[ornate bough]

@MODS EXPLODE HIS HOUSE

[cinder basalt]

I have so many warns the next one is actually them exploding my house

@subtle estuary help this man

[broken flint]

guys i'm confused with this one thing.
I discovered how to use module scripts yesterday and I'm trying to make 3 client sided module scripts interact with each other.

So if one enables shift lock for example I want the other to know that and so it will enable a feature based off of what that script did to shift lock. Get it?

I saw that remoteevents and removefunctions could help but im not sure

[terse vector]

Rememeber that a modulescript is just a storage container for code, it can't run by itself. If you want to use a feature from two different module scripts, then create one shared container(a script) and a way for them to communicate with each other.

[broken flint]

Yea I made a local script to do it but I'm confused on if I need to code the communication inside of the local or module scripts yk?

[terse vector]

The communication would need to be handled in some way in the local script.

Im going to look up a documentation thing real quick, I strictly only use meta classes inside modulescripts so I have to re-check what you can do again, if anyone else has more knowledge please chip in!

Meta classes are super easy because you can just load up all your modulescripts into the global variable and then cross-communciation is super easy.

[broken flint]

how do you create a meta class???

or do you mean meta tables

[terse vector]

^^ yes, typo

[broken flint]

ah I see

[terse vector]

The idea of using a meta table approach to combine modulescripts is to define all your base variables and methods per module script, and then load them onto the global table.

But that might be more of a rabbit hole than you need to get what you need working.

I believe you can pass functions through, so you could create an update function, and pass it to the other module script through the local script.

[broken flint]

hmmm what I'm trying to do is I have this one POVChanger script then this AltLock script (custom shift lock because I disabled the actual shift lock) and now I want it so whenever the POVChanger makes the client go into First person then the AltLock disables the ability to altlock during that but I also want the client to remember if I was in altlock or not before going into first person so when I get out of it then it will put me back to my old state. I made this work before but it was too confusing so I just scrapped it and decided to re try it

[broken flint]

so you want me to use the local script as a middleman?

[terse vector]

-- localscript.lua
local A = require("A")
local B = require("B")

A.onUpdate(B.doSomethingOnUpdate)

-- EOF
-- B.lua
function B.doSomethingOnUpdate() 
  -- do something!
end

Psuedocode

I may be wrong, but I am sure you can pass functions to other modulescripts.

I can test this if you desire.

[cinder basalt]

Bad variable names

U dont pass

[broken flint]

Nah it's alright I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes

[cinder basalt]

Module script is like a function

Where u put more functions

And u call these functions so they use other stuff from inside the module script

[broken flint]

yea I know but I was just wondering how I could communicate between module scripts because I'm making 3 features in my game interact based on what the other feature did

[iron oyster]

theres many ways, you can use signals, another module that manages these three, or just call eachother within the modules. you'll need to provide more context

[red pelican]

Modulescripts are great and they've given me more headaches than anything else in my entire life

[charred night]

i recently did this thing with modules

where i have a class and i store all the class instances inside

so its accessible from anywhere

local Inventory = { __instances = {} }
Inventory.__ index = {}

function Inventory.new(Player)
  local self = setmetatable({}, Inventory)

  self.Items = {}

  Inventory.__instances[Player.UserId] = self
  return self
end

function Inventory.of(Player)
  return Inventory.__instances[Player.UserId]
end

local MyInventory = Inventory.new(LocalPlayer)

-- in anotha script

local HisInventory = Inventory.of(SomePlayer)

[gloomy kraken]

bro learned oop

[charred night]

nah i knew that before but i never thought of using modules to store temporary memory

[gloomy kraken]

ok lol

[broken flint]

for oop do I need to create sub module scripts or can all the oop states be in one module script?

[cedar flicker]

Bindable Events

For same sided stuff

[carmine imp]

are particle emitters behaving weird for anyone else? i didnt change my code but theyre not working well today for some reason . they still kinda work but they barely emit anything

[rigid cedar]

could be your quality setting

playtest the game then change it

[carmine imp]

found the problem. i forgot i set StreamingEnabled to true yesterday

[carmine imp]

the true solution to this was to call task.wait(0.1) before calling the Emit() method on the particle when StreamingEnabled=true. not necessary if you have streaming disabled

[sinful sable]

yesterday ok

[blissful turtle]

Guys can someone give me a stamina system for pc and mobile that actually works, bc I can’t find any and I keep trying to make one but fail. Pls anyone

[broken flint]

I'll probably give events a try too but should I use oop for this pov changer script since it's in 2 states being First person and Third person

[static coral]

just make a function in one of the modules to read the value that you need

you dont need bindable event its kinda unnecessary

[broken flint]

so I just add lines of code in one of the modules to read whenever something happens in the other module??

[static coral]

yes

[broken flint]

oh and also

I watched a video about oop and I'm wondering if I should turn the povchanger module into an oop thingy because I'm in two states right? First and Third

but at the same time I feel like oop is not necessary because its only two states

[static coral]

for example

local module1 = require(…)

local module = {}

function module.DoDomething()
local whatever = module1.readvalue()
end

sorry for no formatting im on mobile

[broken flint]

its alr

[static coral]

not necessary

look into oop concepts

[broken flint]

what should I use oop for? My movement module???

[static coral]

oop should be used for instances of a certain group of objects

[static coral]

no

[static coral]

for example, you might have a “Drink” class and then you have properties such as Brand, Bottle Size, Bottle Shape, etc. And then you have methods like :Drink(), :Spill(), etc to manipulate the object

[broken flint]

ohhh

[carmine imp]

use oop when you have some code you find yourself repeating or will need to repeat later.

movement can be oop but it doesnt have to. for example my movement logic is just a local script that has local functions

[static coral]

search up what object oriented programming is

[cinder basalt]

We hate object oriented programming!

Whos with me

[static coral]

and of course for every instance of the “Drink” class, the instance would have different properties

[carmine imp]

it has some negatives for sure, for example everyone thinking everything has to be an object

[static coral]

other systems that you can use oop for could be, gun systems (instance for each different gun), melee system (instance for each melee), item class (instance for each item) and there are many more

[broken flint]

the thing is in my movement module I'm going to add different stuff like Climbing, Running, Walking, Jumping, and Falling but also some other stuff but now to make it realistic I wanna like for example make it so whenever the player falls down there's events that could happen being Dying (fell from too high), breaking leg/ankles (falling from a moderate height) stuff like that

[static coral]

then look into state machines, if you want

not necessary tho and might be overcomplication

[broken flint]

bro my brain is getting overstimulated with the info i'm getting rn

[static coral]

then stick to basics

[broken flint]

oop, meta class, state machines

[static coral]

dont try to run if you cant even walk

[cinder basalt]

print('Hello word')

[broken flint]

do you know a great youtuber that explains these things from easiest to hardest?

[carmine imp]

dont even bother with metatables except to initalize an object. metatables are an over abstraction 90% of the time

[static coral]

metatables are completely unnecessary for roblox oop

only in some rare exceptions

[static coral]

nah not really

but stick to simpler things for now

cause you are overcomplicating it for yourself

[carmine imp]

i watched BrawlDev when i was learning roblox

[mossy island]

Real I used them like twice and I don't even remember when

[broken flint]

For sure

[static coral]

they are objectively worse tho cause __index will slow methods down and they will also use a lot more memory

[broken flint]

I saw some of brawldev's tutorial they're pretty good yea

have you tried waiting like 5 seconds before using stuff in roblox studio because sometimes roblox studio takes a bit of time to load stuff in

[static coral]

preloadasync

preloadasync

use contentprovider

it will preload and download animation

[mossy island]

luau wasn't made for oop in mind and metatables are only partially good for oop (not speaking performance wise because it's worse) either way there probably are better methods for whatever you need

[static coral]

ik but im saying everyone always uses metatables for oop but its completely unnecessary and objectively worse

[void tapir]

can someone help me fix my ui which changes shirt and pants via textbutton

[static coral]

try that first, if it doesnt work, use preload async on the animation id. and also, give it some time first, it will never be loaded instantly. print when its done so you know and then test

[mossy island]

True

We love overcomplicating

[static coral]

show code

[static coral]

and also metatables arent serialized so if u send a table with a metatable over a remote then you will have to set the metatable again on the client/server

[mossy island]

Didn't even know they weren't

there

you need to use ` to format it

[void tapir]

ahh

anyways do you know why

[static coral]

im checking

[void tapir]

alr much appreciated

[static coral]

so what did u say does it do

@void tapir

[void tapir]

clothes changer via ui

but it just makes me nude

[static coral]

is the script a local script or server script

im assuming local script

also it wont replicate for other players then

it will only change on your screen

[void tapir]

ohh

[static coral]

you need to set up a remote

and then do applyattire on the server

[void tapir]

it doesnt tho i only beocme nude

[static coral]

also u dont need to destroy the shirt and pants you can just change the template id

[static coral]

that also only happens on your screen

also

i dont think shirts and pants work if u just create a new instance and parent it to character

they are a bit strange i remember trying it a while back

so dont destroy the shirt and pants just change template id

another way to do it is with humanoid descriptions but thats not necessary for this

[void tapir]

ight tysm

[static coral]

👍

[verbal rivet]

Whats better, magnitude or raycast for hit box

Im hearing people say magnitude is better but some say raycast is better

Is it just preference or depends on what im making

[static coral]

idk

[verbal rivet]

Which one is more simpler to understand

[static coral]

idek what magnitude hitbox is

[verbal rivet]

oh then nvm then

[carmine imp]

magnitude hitboxes are easier to understand

(imo)

magnitude hitboxes is just a fancy way of saying youre calculating the distance between the hit and the hitbox to determine if it was a hit

[verbal rivet]

Aw

Ah.

[frail glen]

The link is fake

Don't trust it's a scam

[lean ocean]

OMG FREE MONEY

I'm clicking it

it should be steamcommunity

or smth like that lol

[cinder basalt]

U cant stop me

Im claiming the free money

[rain vessel]

i've got this problem with my script and im very new to scripting

could someone help me with what i did wrong here?

[teal vapor]

whats the problem

[rain vessel]

the animation isn't playing when i do mouse button 1

[teal vapor]

its Humanoid not humanoid

[rain vessel]

oh alright

thank you bro

[teal vapor]

yw

[rain vessel]

is this better?

alr it works

@teal vapor

is this better?

[true yarrow]

Good job, next step is designing an entire framework with modules 🤗🤗🤗

Joking

[teal vapor]

no no

[true yarrow]

Hope u do learn tho

[teal vapor]

you can’t name a variable like that

[rain vessel]

ty man

[teal vapor]

it has to be 1 word

so just do Animator

[rain vessel]

so like HumanoidAnimator?

or just Animator

[teal vapor]

and waitforchild only waits for the children inside the parent

[true yarrow]

Uh

[teal vapor]

not whats also inside it

[true yarrow]

If u wanna get the animator

[teal vapor]

your choice

[rain vessel]

what does it change?

[true yarrow]

U do :
Humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Animator

[teal vapor]

so you cant do :WaitForChild(“Humanoid.Animator”) instead you have to do Humanoid:WaitForChild(“Animator”)

[true yarrow]

If u wanna get the animator

[teal vapor]

variable name is wrong

[true yarrow]

Yh

WE never add maj on a variable

Exept for exemple playerCoin

Im just showing him an exemple

Im not home rn

[true yarrow]

Js tell me what do u want and imma help u

[rain vessel]

m1

[true yarrow]

And why would u mind about the anim in an client script

[rain vessel]

?

[true yarrow]

If u fireserver js play the anim in the server

[rain vessel]

idk someone told me to do fireserver and idk what that doess

[true yarrow]

Rn from what im Reading , the anim will only play on client side

[rain vessel]

oh

i wanna change that

[true yarrow]

Imma help u when I get back home

In like 1hour and half

[rain vessel]

oh damn

[true yarrow]

But basically

[rain vessel]

i've also go this one

[true yarrow]

U have a client script which check stuff needed on client, such as userInput

And then

Server

Which will go check serverwise sh

Like anims

Idk about damages yet i ain't good enough at it

[rain vessel]

also

[rain vessel]

why isn't the animation playing?

[true yarrow]

Wait until im home

And we gonna VC

So i Can show u

[rain vessel]

alright

[tacit moss]

https://streamable.com/y98viu

[lean ocean]

no keep it clientside

it replicates

it will play for other players too

[rain vessel]

oh alright

good then

[true yarrow]

But is it optimized

I mean most poeoles would use modules

For the framework

[lean ocean]

uh more then playing on the server yes

[true yarrow]

Alr

Good to know

[tardy pasture]

hey guys do u know why this isnt working i am trying to create a custom mouse using a imagelabel but for some reason where the actual mouse is and the image are way off each other this is my code : game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
cursorImage.Position = UDim2.new(0, mouse.X, 0, mouse.Y)
end)

[dreamy berry]

i have a simple question guys, i need your answer please.
Can i use tweenService in LocalScript ?

[calm ruin]

Yes

[dreamy berry]

thank you very much and have a nice day

[tardy pasture]

its even better to use in in a local script

[dreamy berry]

thanks for the information man

[wise turtle]

@random nebula give neovim config

[oblique epoch]

which scripter wants to make a game theres no payment u get 65% alongside this i will advertise over 100k robux into the game and i can show proof likely meaning we will gain

[tardy pasture]

have fun finding a scripter

[oblique epoch]

alr ty btw

i got 2 dm

so i might just pay

[charred night]

userinputservice.mouseicon = 'assetid'

[tardy pasture]

no i am trying to do it with an imagelabel

[rain vessel]

could someone help me fix this?

[charred night]

But why

???

[tardy pasture]

u dont have acces to the animation

[tardy pasture]

because in my game i have guns and i want a crosshair that can use tweening when aiming

[rain vessel]

oh alright i told my friend to save the animation so that's probably why

[charred night]

did u disable gui inset on the screen gui

[tardy pasture]

uhh no didnt know u had to where do u find that exactly ?

[charred night]

on the screen gui

in its properties

[tardy pasture]

lemme see

[tardy pasture]

??

[charred night]

gui inset bro

its a boolean

[tardy pasture]

ye im not really good with ui is it in the imagelabel ??

[charred night]

brother

its in the screen gui

[tardy pasture]

OMG

im so stupid

ight turned off lets see

nope

[blissful turtle]

Guys can someone give me a stamina system for pc and mobile that actually works, bc I can’t find any and I keep trying to make one but fail. Pls anyone

[tardy pasture]

create number value put in in the player and evrytime he does something subtract the number if its below 0 then disable his tools or whatever and let it slowly climb back up

Why u post this everywhere

The rails are dead get over it

[tacit moss]

why do u think

use ur brain

use the game is dead with 400k ccu and 700k+ ccu on the weekends

[silver gale]

how did yall learn scripting

[tacit moss]

yesss the game making over 100k usd a month is dead

[tacit moss]

if i had to start again

i would learn the basics and actually know the basics

and then from there it’s like lego blocks u learn overtime

[silver gale]

but how do i learn them?

like what tutoriol did yall use or recomend

[tacit moss]

do u like to read or watch videos

[silver gale]

both

[lean ocean]

theres 1283128 of them

[tacit moss]

me personally i rather read then watch a video so i read roblox dev forum tutorial they give u and i use to take notes

[lean ocean]

aint no one playing that shit

[tacit moss]

all making over 1k usd a month

get some money children do not care

[lean ocean]

yes the ones that released first

[silver gale]

but like what tutoriol did yall use

like what youtube

[tacit moss]

dead sails averages 10k + ccu

that’s well over 1k USD a month lmao

[raw pilot]

r u gonna change anything

[tacit moss]

No it’s a template i’m not making a game im providing the template for other developers

[tacit moss]

i’ll send you

[silver gale]

k

[silver gale]

thanksss

[tacit moss]

how well do u know studio

[silver gale]

pretty well i used to be a buildere

[tacit moss]

that’s good

[silver gale]

did you use the tutoriols from devking?

[tacit moss]

i use to watch a lot of videos

and i use to take notes when i started

[silver gale]

okay!

[tacit moss]

but it took me a while to really understand since i was consuming instead of putting out

once i started creating that’s when it started to stick

also debugging scripts in toolbox helped a lot

https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/use-case-tutorials/scripting/basic-scripting/intro-to-scripting i also read a lot of this

[silver gale]

thank you!!

[tacit moss]

and when i didn’t know something id look it up on dev forum

[cinder basalt]

I doubt you realize how much game like that actually makes

[tacit moss]

are u mentally slow?

ive seen it first hand lmfao any game with decent mon. and over 1k ccu is making a little over 1k a month

[cinder basalt]

Also answer why u keep sending this

[tacit moss]

have u released a game u can ask anyone

use ur brain and think

[cinder basalt]

Ye thata what im saying

10k ccu is not making over 1k, its making over 10k

[tacit moss]

boa

over 1k
over 10k

SAme

[tacit moss]

click on my twitter and see but i think u can understand why without me saying

[cinder basalt]

Yeah dead rails racks in over 10$ a month

That tells us a lot

[tacit moss]

dead rails is making way over 25k bro

LMFAO holy shit

[cinder basalt]

Way over 10$

[tacit moss]

it easily pulls over 100k

[cinder basalt]

Like 1 more zero

[tacit moss]

robloxian millionares

[cinder basalt]

Dead rails made over a mil already

Most defo

[tacit moss]

yesss

[cinder basalt]

And idk its been a month or what

[tacit moss]

yes

[cinder basalt]

So 25k is a bit of an understatement

[tacit moss]

make a copy and become like them

[cinder basalt]

Also this was a joke

[tacit moss]

while it’s still fresh

i fell for the rage bait it’s ok big bro

[cinder basalt]

it wasnt rage bait it was a joke 😭

I just wanted to know why u posting this so much

Is this some kind of charity

Is bro on a mission to make frontpage full of dead (insert common location or object name)

[craggy birch]

Hello , i am looking for someone that can is good at scripting or have few experiences . Me and my other Developer are making a game called "Dead Woods" . Its similar to Dead Rails but its more different , and forest theme . The game is almost done , we have to make fuel , sack working , and some more things and the game is done . We are giving % of the earning for someone who can help us . Thanks!

[ruby vault]

yo

[craggy birch]

Guys can someone help me making fuel adding like in Dead Rails please?

[cedar flicker]

👍

[tacit moss]

yes

[copper urchin]

anyone here have a pet system ?

[craggy birch]

dm me

[craggy birch]

dm me guys

[sullen fox]

so easy to make too

[tacit moss]

literally

made a templatei n 2 hours'

[lone rain]

bro

why do we have mutual friends

[sullen fox]

their advertisting must've been legendary

[lone rain]

nah

they were just the first to do it

wait nvm

dusty trip

was\

but yeah they just popped like rivals did

[sullen fox]

yea

[blissful turtle]

I’m too smart to understand that

[vale atlas]

create a number player attribute

[cedar flicker]

Bro is not Warren Buffett

[young crescent]

why would a completed game need an investor 😭

[cinder basalt]

ads

the actual question is what game needs $2000 worth of ads

[daring echo]

...

Advertising

[daring echo]

Im a long way away indeed, just starting out, a lot of good games dont have enough funds to get into the algo so thought I would start and help

[daring echo]

You'd be surprised 😭 Also some higher quality games / devs with a successful track record request higher $ per %

[cinder basalt]

im guessing that would be ads on yt/tiktok

cus $2000 worth of ad credits seems like a waste honestly

[daring echo]

Some devs I know spend millions on ads upon release where as other games would have a budget of around 70K, which is also enough

[thorn frigate]

ads arent to get players😭its to hit the algo

[daring echo]

I know that

[static sphinx]

yall know how i could make my roblox studio look like ts?

[hasty mesa]

Probably beta features

found it

guys i got a button where if u press it, it gives u a tool, and the tool has weld constraints. it works fine, but when i die, the tool falls apart, anyone know why

[fading kiln]

is anyone here good enough with lua so that if i send them a script they can judge if its beginner / intermediate / good level etc?

[woven anvil]

y not js send script in chat

[fair belfry]

why can I do everything a normal player can do, but I cant walk around

[modern crow]

does anyone know how to optimize pathfinding for npcs so if there are like 200 they wont crash my game

[last glacier]

lmao yk whats crazy is that ur completely wrong 10k ccu + would give you ABOVE 40k USD A MONTH and depending on your monetisation it could be wayy higher

[young crescent]

how do u end up with 200 npcs in the first place

[split swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/shiba-inu-dog-cute-staring-uncomfortable-gif-5109181064121221893

[honest pasture]

a city

[young crescent]

a city should not have 200 active npcs

[honest pasture]

i think it should

[young crescent]

??

[honest pasture]

it should look alive

[young crescent]

roblox game with 200 npcs are we being fr right now

[honest pasture]

what

[split swallow]

what kind of roblox country are you building with 200

ngl

[honest pasture]

idk

[split swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/kryonax-skull-gif-26476587

[honest pasture]

it was not

[young crescent]

also why would u load 200 all at once with humanoids

[honest pasture]

mi bussines

[honest pasture]

idk

also imagine a tower defense

[young crescent]

then stop yapping

[split swallow]

that alone would crash low end users 😭

[honest pasture]

i like to yap

[young crescent]

good td games dont load them at all

this is why tds suddenly managed to load 5k zombies without any severe issue

[honest pasture]

but they load them

also not my problem so

[split swallow]

but not all at once

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1012381844739735584/1313465640153255986/caption.gif

[young crescent]

they literally dont load them

[brazen sphinx]

chat is there a newer/better library like Rodux yet

since rodux is like 8+yrs old

[young crescent]

wut is rodux

[brazen sphinx]

onGOD i need the scripter role so i have access to the pro people channel

where the green mfs who know rodux

[split swallow]

XD

doesnt want to be with commoners 💔

[ruby gazelle]

Can anyone clue me in to what just happened. Game was working great, no errors or nothing. I tried to then upload the game under a group im a dev for. Since then, in both the group game and the main game I'm having major issues. I don't even know what's going on but the datastores are messed up for sure, and everytime i stop a playtest my studio bugs out.

[modern crow]

they’re battle droids that should lock onto players and try to kill them

[brazen sphinx]

state management

omg i talked to the maker of Rodux last rdc and i didnt even know

[modern crow]

but the map is complicated and with alot of them shit becomes chaos

[young crescent]

randomly generated droids type of npcs?

[modern crow]

no, they have a set script with pathfinding/shooting in them and i can spawn them with a tool

so the more i spawn, the more individual calculations, the more lag

[young crescent]

then why are u getting laggy

[modern crow]

but i cant find a way to optimize this but also keep them smooth

[fair belfry]

can anyone help me?

[modern crow]

im not getting laggy they are

when there are alot they tend to buffer alot and shoot slowly

[brazen sphinx]

run them on client, unload them if theyre far away

elementary

[young crescent]

your supposed to render them on the client

[brazen sphinx]

dont manage npcs on server scripts

and dont keep them around if theyre out of view

[young crescent]

u suggest to make them entirely clientsided or just rendered clientsided?

[brazen sphinx]

depends on ur usecase

[modern crow]

they’re still supposed to be there, its a star wars game and they just all have to lock onto the opposing players and kill them

[young crescent]

just render clientside

[modern crow]

how do i do that? wont that bring more lag to the player? the main game is laggy for some as it is

[young crescent]

your taking off load from the server and giving the client more freedom to render however it wants

[brazen sphinx]

u can have their position calculated on server and the rest like anims on client, then u dont need to render them (set parent to nil when the distance is out of view, or enable streaming) to lessen load on clients

but if its not important that 2 players see the same npc at the same spot then do everything on client

[modern crow]

okay so these suggestions would still work for the use i have in mind for them correct?

[modern crow]

no they’re supposed to see all of them, and kill them

its basically an army of those droids vs real people

[brazen sphinx]

yea ig just calculate the position on the server then send it to client and do the rest on clientside

enable streaming too

😎

[modern crow]

dunno how to do this im fairly new to this

are you sure functionality will stay the same if i send it to client?

[brazen sphinx]

ah rip programming streaming requires some know how to make it work properly sometimes

[brazen sphinx]

should work fine if u do it right

[modern crow]

i can learn how to do it its no problem, are you able to refer me to a website or post that explains this?

[modern crow]

would switching to A* help with the lag?

[brazen sphinx]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/workspace/streaming

[modern crow]

A* algorithm pathfinding

thanks

[fair belfry]

why can I do everything a normal player can do, but I cant walk around

[brazen sphinx]

"im fairly new"

-2 seconds later-
"im gonna implement A* algorithmic pathfinding in Roblox"

[modern crow]

ur using either chatgpt or deepseek

[modern crow]

no im tryna know if it would work, if so ill just learn how to do it

[brazen sphinx]

i actually dont know, i dont really see why any reason for it to be impossible

just i think theres a reason roblox has provided their own pathfinding instead of implementing A* natively by themselves

[modern crow]

hm okay, is there also a post or something that helps with explaining on sending stuff to client side?

i wanna make sure i get this right

[brazen sphinx]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/RemoteEvent

[modern crow]

ty

oh so just basic ass remoteevents lmao

[brazen sphinx]

just wait till u get advanced enough to use couroutines, and task.spawn and pcall etc then u level up from there even and learn that Promises do all that but better

[modern crow]

i use them in my current script

but ill try this info out and ill be sure to reach out again if i have questions

thank you

[nimble dawn]

Question what method did you all use to learn rolua

[brazen sphinx]

resilience

and asking a LOT of dumb questions

[random comet]

yo

does any of you know how i should approuch part serilization data store

[stray oak]

You save something in data store and you use it when you want to

[exotic pewter]

is there a way to have a table shared between both client and server (without having to manually send events) if i make changes on the server, it automatically updates on the client?

[stray oak]

No you have to use a remote event

[exotic pewter]

i tried passing the table between string value, used json encode and decode, but there are differences between luau tables and json

local Translator = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.ModuleScripts.JSON_Translator)

return function(stringValue, defaultTable)
    local mainTable = {}
    
    setmetatable(mainTable, {
        __index = function(_, key)
            local decodedData = Translator(stringValue.Value or "{}")
            return decodedData[key]
        end,
        __newindex = function(_, key, value)
            local decodedData = Translator(stringValue.Value or "{}")
            decodedData[tostring(key)] = value
            stringValue.Value = Translator(decodedData)
        end,
        
        __call = function()
            return Translator(stringValue.Value or "{}") -- Allow calling the table like a function
        end,
    })
    
    stringValue.Value = Translator(defaultTable or {})
    
    return mainTable
end

this is what i kinda had

it works but the "translator" is not able to read different keys other than normal array integers keys

[hasty mesa]

You don't need the enocde a table

[exotic pewter]

hm

so what would i do?

[hasty mesa]

You can just send it

[exotic pewter]

you ragebaiting me rn 😭

wait your right

Yo

any issues with data storing

rn?

[cyan meadow]

Just made this (idk got inspired by beep block skyway) rate it

[fair belfry]

why am I not seeing my normal player animations, the only thing i did was i removed my model from the starterrrplayer folder

[young kettle]

your Animate local script is disabled

[fair belfry]

yea but that was for the model i removed from the starterplayer folder

[young kettle]

When you load in the scripts in StarterCharacterScripts should clone to your character model

[fossil cairn]

bindtoclose SUCKS

why is it breaking my studio

Not running script because past shutdown deadline

[young kettle]

i think you misspelled your username, i might be wrong

[fossil cairn]

collision was taken

[young kettle]

im just joking

its lower case d

[fossil cairn]

wait im dumb. i have a BindToClose module

[young kettle]

why you lying

[fossil cairn]

that i never have a wait in

[fossil cairn]

its not size that matters

[foggy kernel]

what did you guys do to learn lua mannn im stuckkk

[fossil cairn]

roblox

volunteer for groups

[foggy kernel]

i be on roblox watch devking but i cant remember shit

[foggy kernel]

wym

[fossil cairn]

like internships. how i learned was by getting contracted or working for free

[foggy kernel]

well what if i cant do what they want me to do

[fossil cairn]

did that for months. now i know a lot of the basics and can call myself adept

[foggy kernel]

hmmm

[fossil cairn]

thats the point. to learn stuff you cant do

[foggy kernel]

ight gotchu

[fossil cairn]

they will force you into a position

where you need to learn new stuff

and give you that responsibility and in some cases a consequence. thats what pushed me to continue

[foggy kernel]

yeah but that kinda gives you a bad rep when you dont ended up not doing it

[fossil cairn]

well just be honest if its above your grade

[foggy kernel]

ok ok

[fossil cairn]

its a small step game

[young kettle]

yea but ur working for free

[fossil cairn]

you wont go zero to hero in a day

[fossil cairn]

exactly

[foggy kernel]

got any group recomendation?

[fossil cairn]

if youre just a volunteer, its really no big deal if you cant do it

[foggy kernel]

oh

[fossil cairn]

theyll just give you a smaller, easier, task

[young kettle]

I animated for free to practice being under pressure

it was nice to give people assets, to devs who cant animate and need atleast something

[fossil cairn]

hear me out. larp groups

i worked for teutonnia for like.. maybe 6 months

they always needed devs

[foggy kernel]

how exactly do i join

[fossil cairn]

most other groups are on the professional side

and will want a lengthy portfolio and 5 bajillion years experience

[foggy kernel]

fr tho lol

[fossil cairn]

just ask around

[foggy kernel]

larp groups or teutnnia?

[fossil cairn]

you can pop into groups and give some ideas
"i can easily script this feature"

[fossil cairn]

just any rp group

start small

[foggy kernel]

ok ok

[fossil cairn]

thatll be the easier bar to hurdle

even cafe groups prob

they're desperate, broke, and most of the time have no idea how to do anything

perfect area to practice

and maybe even get compensated

[foggy kernel]

alr that make sense

imna check yt or twitter for them

[fossil cairn]

ya its a long long game with getting any real experience

can always work on little side projects

[foggy kernel]

i have a baseplate where i do some random stuff but like i need to folow a tutorial to do it otherwise i cant

[fossil cairn]

a good start

[foggy kernel]

but like i aint seeing any progress bro yesterday i hade a mental meltdown😭😭

[tacit moss]

monetisation plays a big role

[bleak glade]

best way to apply interia so the cart wont stop instantly? for context theres a weight factor evenly distributed between all parts then a backweight which has 10 less density than the front weight

[wicked quest]

hi how do i make a npc follow you when your not looking

[steady cove]

You either have to use raycast or lookvectors for that

[wicked quest]

can you send or make a model for me please?

[steady cove]

dont ask this to anybody mate

no one makes free models

i suggest you to do your own research

[fathom briar]

im confused on how u made one that only moves when your looking at it, but cant make one that moves anytime

[frozen tree]

Youtube?

[wicked quest]

couldnt find a video

[frozen tree]

buy one

[tidal shuttle]

chat

nvm Im slow 🫠

[thorn frigate]

if you know how to code:
raycast to check if player is looking at npc and if they arent then make the npc follow the player
otherwise:
too bad

[steady cove]

ill make an account classifier w pytorch, should I use transformer or simple NN? (beginner question)

[solar arch]

yall, can someone help script my gameplay... i'm broke tho

[blissful turtle]

Bro I’m not that smart to understand that, pls make it easier for me to understand or give me a model or smth

[solar arch]

does anyone know how to add animation into parts of things

...

[verbal rivet]

Like what do you mean

Make like items play animations or npcs?

Or allow the player to play animations

[verbal rivet]

??

[autumn oak]

why are other accessory type handles not being hidden?

            if part:IsA("Accessory") and part.AccessoryType ~= Enum.AccessoryType.Hair and part.AccessoryType ~= Enum.AccessoryType.Hat then
                part:WaitForChild("Handle").Transparency = 1
            end
        end```

[tropic plume]

local root = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

this gives the error, attempt to index nil with 'Wait for child'

i dont know why

[onyx inlet]

still need help?

[tropic plume]

thanks for asking, but i figured it out

it was becuase the character wasn’t loaded yet. wait for child worked

[onyx inlet]

yeah thats what I was thinking

good you figured it out though

[spark swallow]

local motor = Instance.new("Motor6D", Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart)
motor.Part0 = hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
motor.Name = "GrabbedMotor"
motor.C1 = CFrame.new(0, 0, -3) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, math.rad(180), 0)
motor.Part1 = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
game.Debris:AddItem(motor, 10)

Im trying to make it so the player controls the hit.Parent(just a touched function) but rn it stops them both

[open rock]

guys when i set an attachments cframe to the players left legs cframe, it copies the orientation when the character is walking, how do i not make this happen, i want the attachment (with particle inside it) to stay flat, so the particles dont copy the left legs orientation

[toxic stream]

Could anyone give me some tips on how to script

[minor night]

I think you're making the Motor6D connect both players too rigidly, which freezes them.

[deft stump]

Your issue is that you're attaching both the player's HumanoidRootPart and the target's HumanoidRootPart using a Motor6D. Since Motor6D is used for character joints, it likely freezes movement because it's creating a rigid connection between both characters.

Solution: Use a different approach
Instead of Motor6D, try using a WeldConstraint or setting hit.Parent's PrimaryPart and using CFrame manipulation.

Option 1: Use WeldConstraint
WeldConstraint allows movement while keeping the target object attached.

local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart)
weld.Part0 = hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
weld.Part1 = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart

game.Debris:AddItem(weld, 10) -- Remove after

yes guys im smart

haters will say its chatgpt

[foggy burrow]

lmaooooooo

what are they trynba do

I made a grab skill and attached the hit player the the attacker using a motor 6d and played animations

but

i can see they are tryna use vfx

[foggy burrow]

honestly just start tbh

open up the program and think of something simple to make

open up the documentation and just go from there

do smthn simple like a part that floats up and down

[uneven mica]

Is scripting basics easier with docs or a vid help more ?

[foggy burrow]

uhhh

depends

if your just copying a video

then nah vids suck

[uneven mica]

I mean

[foggy burrow]

but if your taking notes and activly trying to learn then

[bleak glade]

i learn from looking at good code

[uneven mica]

Video that explain you how to script not how to do something

[deft stump]

copying videos is good. if they explain the code

[foggy burrow]

I mean yeah its not bad

[deft stump]

once you start copying like 10 videos youll start leraning the basics

[foggy burrow]

not really

[toxic stream]

I’ve been doing that but when asked to make a script idk where to start

[foggy burrow]

not if your just copying the video

[foggy burrow]

well

[deft stump]

?

[foggy burrow]

before I start a system

[foggy burrow]

if your just copying the video then it aint good

watching tutorials aint how you learn

sure its not a bad start

for someone brand new

[toxic stream]

I watch tutorials on what things are and what they do

[foggy burrow]

but you dont wanna get stuck in tutorial hell

[uneven mica]

If there’s a format or something to help beginner with multiple objective to learn step by step ? Or do i have to learn each thing by myself ?

[toxic stream]

And I don’t understand how to use them to make the scripts I want to make.

[foggy burrow]

when I start a system I usally take a solid hour to plan out how everything is going to work and the stuff I am going to need to make it work (Services/Welds/VFX/Animations etc)

I got a notebook

and I write each system in great detail

[foggy burrow]

yeah you just gotta start

lets do my example from above

[toxic stream]

I don’t know how to

[foggy burrow]

making a floating part

[bleak glade]

thats always good, i make a UML for bigger projects

[foggy burrow]

that goes up and down

well

first I am going to need a part

then I am going to need to find a way to move this thing up and down

if you look into docs

you can find some while loops

or for loops

but roblox has a service called Tween Service

that tweens instances

boom found tween service

if you read up on that a little

then you can do it

[toxic stream]

What is a tween service

[foggy burrow]

--//Services
local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

--//Variables
local part = script.Parent --> this only works if the script is a child or inside the part

--//Functions
local function tweenPart()
    local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(4, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, -1)
    local movePart = tweenSerivce:Create(part, tweenInfo, {["CFrame} = CFrame.new(0, 9, 0)})
    movePart:Play()
end

tweenPart()

That code moves a part up and down

i wrote this all on just rembering the servivce which will come with practice

[toxic stream]

What is a tween service

[foggy burrow]

if you look up TweenService roblox the documentation will pull up and explain it

its a built in roblox service that allows you to tween instances properties

so its smooth

animations basically

but not some crazy anims

https://tenor.com/view/gohan-ssj2-animation-gif-16480911249872305921

[uneven mica]

I understand it now

[toxic stream]

So like for dashing/flashstepping

[foggy burrow]

no lol

its for stuff like this

[foggy burrow]

This is what this code does

[toxic stream]

But you said animations

[foggy burrow]

like animations

not legit anims

[foggy burrow]

.

[foggy burrow]

.

for tweening properties

like transparency etc

[toxic stream]

Why would I want to do that

[foggy burrow]

for lots of reasons

[toxic stream]

like what

[foggy burrow]

u trolling?

[toxic stream]

no?

[foggy burrow]

like

idk projectiles

[toxic stream]

oh

[foggy burrow]

gui animations

[toxic stream]

makes sense

[foggy burrow]

platforms

doors

etc

[toxic stream]

what are gui animations

[foggy burrow]

u ever see like animations when you open up user interface?

[toxic stream]

yea

[foggy burrow]

gui animations

[toxic stream]

Like pop ups right

[foggy burrow]

yeah

[toxic stream]

ic

[foggy burrow]

you tween the position

[toxic stream]

all this is local right

[foggy burrow]

yeah it can be

ts works on server and client

[toxic stream]

If I want to learn how to make a specific script how would you or how should I go about it

[foggy burrow]

but its the best on the client

[foggy burrow]

give me a sec

[hot stag]

Y'all. Lets say you made a system that took you about 1-2 hours for a big game. How much would you take as a % cut of the monthly revenue of the group/game that you would consider fair? Keep in mind you only did this one-time system and nothing else.

[toxic stream]

Depends on the system

[copper heart]

anyone have their comms open that is looking for a long time job?

[bleak glade]

what the other guy said, time doesnt matter, complexity of the system does

[hot stag]

lets say it is a system where the items that the rig is wearing show up, and you can buy them

[bleak glade]

ugc?

a marketplace api

[hot stag]

it can be UGC or clothes that the rig is wearing

[bleak glade]

never needed to make a system like that so idk the complexity

the scripter youre trying to hire probably has a fair price for it

[toxic stream]

What kind of game and how long

[hot stag]

the problem is this one, he mentioned it last minute when he already made the system. and he is holding it until I give him a ''fair price'' according to standard market value of what he made

[copper heart]

dms

[bleak glade]

so hes not setting his own price?

[hot stag]

nope, he said market value

[bleak glade]

lmfao what who did you hire 💀

"market value" 🥀

like hes not a freelancer
