ohhhh you're trying to pay for something

[hot stag]

yea

[balmy sorrel]

and what did he make?

[hot stag]

The UGC/clothes that the rig is wearing show up in a GUI (that he didnt make), and you can buy them

[balmy sorrel]

2k - 3k robux max

that shit is easy

hell I wouldn't even pay that much

somewhere in that range but try to go as low as you can

[hot stag]

i understand

thank you

[placid pollen]

so im making a inventory system(not the gui i mean the scripting) consisting of weapons,armors,consumables,etc. so what im doing is im making the inventory folder in the player where everything will be stored in string values and int values and stuff(like the stats of the weapons) and im gonna be making a default folder in replicated storage which has all the weapons, items of the game with their respective stats so when a player gets something it clones that from repStorage and then randomizes the values and levels and stuff and then stores in the inventory folder of the player. is that good or is there a better way to make a inventory system?

[bleak glade]

no

tables

if you have like 1000 values in yoru inventory thats 1000 instances

[placid pollen]

ooff ye

[placid pollen]

ok so ill make a module script with a datatable that has all the items and then when a player gets an item it finds it from the database and puts it in players inven table?

[bleak glade]

i mean profilestore may be easier if you dont know how to set it up

unless you know what youre doing

[placid pollen]

nono ik

[bleak glade]

ill show you my old strucutre if you dont want to use profilestore

[placid pollen]

okk

[bleak glade]

you can figure otu the rest

[placid pollen]

ok alrr thanks a lot

[somber vault]

Bro game disks aren’t even games no more

They’re just pointers to the digital shop 😭

[bleak glade]

the disc just reads a pointer?

[somber vault]

I was making a joke

[bleak glade]

had me confused 💀

[crude quarry]

this is just a general question but If i wanted to make a part move from Block A to Block B and not teleport would I have to use tween service

[mint cloud]

That or lerp is probably optimal, but if you want to manually do it, you could probably use cframe lookto and add vectors that way

[peak sphinx]

how much revenue does the game make

[crude quarry]

        hit:FindFirstChild("MovingPart")
        if hit.Parent == MovingPart then
            PointA.Transparency = 1
        else
            error("This is not a MovingPart")
        end
    end)``` What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to check if the moving part that touches the point is the moving part if it is it turns the point invisible

Keep in mind they're all parts

[runic island]

but SetBubbleChatMessageProperties is a valid member of textchatmessage?

[mint cloud]

This will never be true because you look for movingpart as a child, then check if it’s a parent 💀

[crude quarry]

yknow you right im thinking of users not parts

weirdly it doesnt go to else either

[mint cloud]

I’m confused abt the purpose of the program, you want to see if a player touched a point and make it disappear?

[crude quarry]

I have a moving part and I want it to move to 3 points a,b,c. I'm checking if the point being touched is the moving part if it is it will turn the point invisible

basically just messing around

[mint cloud]

Ohhh

[crude quarry]

I got the movement down im just being braindead about the touch function since im used to using players

[mint cloud]

Is movingpart its own object?

Or is it part of something else

[crude quarry]

its a clone from a folder in server storage

MovingPart.Parent = workspace
MovingPart.Position = Vector3.new(157.4, 0.5, 28.1)
local points = game.Workspace.Points

while true do
    task.wait()
    local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
    local TweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1)

    local PointA = points:FindFirstChild("PointA")
    local PointB = points:FindFirstChild("PointB")
    local PointC = points:FindFirstChild("PointC")

    local Movement = {}

    local Tween = TweenService:Create(MovingPart, TweenInfo,{Position = PointA.Position})
    Tween:Play()
    PointA.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        if hit == MovingPart then
            PointA.Transparency = 1
        else
            error("This is not a MovingPart")
        end
    end)
    task.wait(2)
    local Tween = TweenService:Create(MovingPart, TweenInfo,{Position = PointB.Position})
    Tween:Play()
    task.wait(2)
    local Tween = TweenService:Create(MovingPart, TweenInfo,{Position = PointC.Position})
    Tween:Play()
    task.wait(2)
end```

[mint cloud]

First problem I see is your getting movingpart straight from server storage instead of cloning it

You should also probably keep it in replicated storage

[quasi grotto]

helo nerds

im back

[crude quarry]

MovingPart.Parent = workspace im cloning the folder then moving it to workspace

wait

no im just cloning the part

[mint cloud]

The formatting is weird on phone

But I think you want to delete the [moving part]:clone() line

[crude quarry]

I worry about formatting after I get results imo

[mint cloud]

And stick the :clone on the end of the first line

[crude quarry]

the weird part about all this code is I get no errors but it runs fine, it just ignores the touch function

[mint cloud]

Oh

Try hit:FindFirstAncestor(MovingPart)

[crude quarry]

This video might help

its just so bizarre

[mint cloud]

Is it throwing the error?

[crude quarry]

nope

[mint cloud]

Try the ancestor thing

[crude quarry]

hit:FindFirstAncestor(MovingPart) == MovingPart or just hit:FindFirstAncestor(MovingPart)

[mint cloud]

Second one

[balmy sorrel]

and it's everywhere

[mint cloud]

Ayo

[balmy sorrel]

what

[mint cloud]

U do know what that means without context right?

[balmy sorrel]

huh?

[crude quarry]

could it be the function itself thats causing the issue instead of the if statement

PointA.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

wait

yeah now it's prodcuing an error after I changed PointA to MovingPart

[mint cloud]

That’s progress

[crude quarry]

yes now I just gotta use my tiny brain to figure out how to tell if moving part is touching point A

[mint cloud]

Just do if Points:FindFirstChild(hit)

[crude quarry]

I think there's something that im missing

[mint cloud]

Did u use my suggestion?

[crude quarry]

ye

welp whatever like I said im just messing around so i'll figure this out later, gonna do some HTML and CSS

[mint cloud]

CSS🤮🤮

I’m gonna sleep 🙂 gn guys

[crude quarry]

I've told to use tailwind but that means I gotta use typescript which is gonna change a lot of what I just learned so I wanna die

[shy dock]

why does everybody want long term scripters; I can't find any small jobs

[night maple]

for example name the part “goat” and then ‘’’part.touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Name == “goat” then print(“part located at destination”
end
end’’

I tried to format it

[real solar]

anyone tryna buy my 600+ sub channel for 5k robux?

[crude quarry]

thats what I keep trying to do but it goes to else I feel like there's something Im missing

[night maple]

The part moves to another location?

wdym goes to else

[crude quarry]

I have an else to return an error so I know its not working

because the code itself doesnt produce an error

[night maple]

show me ur code

[crude quarry]

MovingPart.Parent = workspace
MovingPart.Position = Vector3.new(157.4, 0.5, 28.1)
local points = game.Workspace.Points

while true do
    task.wait()
    local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
    local TweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1)

    local PointA = points:FindFirstChild("PointA")
    local PointB = points:FindFirstChild("PointB")
    local PointC = points:FindFirstChild("PointC")

    local Movement = {}

    local Tween = TweenService:Create(MovingPart, TweenInfo,{Position = PointA.Position})
    Tween:Play()
    MovingPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        if hit.name == MovingPart then
            PointA.Transparency = 1
        else
            error("This is not a MovingPart")
        end
    end)
    task.wait(2)
    local Tween = TweenService:Create(MovingPart, TweenInfo,{Position = PointB.Position})
    Tween:Play()
    task.wait(2)
    local Tween = TweenService:Create(MovingPart, TweenInfo,{Position = PointC.Position})
    Tween:Play()
    task.wait(2)
end```

[night maple]

Tips:

• Move moving part to replicated storage

[crude quarry]

the only issue im having is the touch function on the bottom

[night maple]

Check the typing everywhere to ensure you havent made a mistake

[night maple]

so you’re moving a part to the moving parts position?

but your original part is in server storage

so wouldnt that mean it just flies through the air not touching anything

[crude quarry]

Yeah basically
Storage - Workspace - position I need it then moves to 3 different points

[night maple]

what are u trying to do

[crude quarry]

move it between 3 points

[night maple]

r u learning tween

[night maple]

Seems to work fine

what

[crude quarry]

yeah it works fine, the issue is the touch function to make the point transparent after the moving part touches it

[night maple]

You have a lot of pointless code in my opinion

[night maple]

hit.Name == the part it TOUCHES

So pointb for example

not moving part

moving part is the one thats tweening

[tacit moss]

https://streamable.com/jv3llu

[night maple]

if hit.Name == PointA then pointA.Transparency = 1

@crude quarry

add prints and use them as sanity checks

lmk if it wirks

if it doesnt then print(hit) and lmk what it returns

[crude quarry]

ah thats why its printing baseplate

[night maple]

wdym

does it work now?

[crude quarry]

no I had it print hit and the baseplate was hitting it first which caused it to trigger else

[night maple]

yeah remove else, add if hit.Name == PointA then

Else isnt really good for debugging

cause you wont really even know whats wrong

you’ll just know something is

[crude quarry]

I added it because my code had no errors so I wanted to see if it was going to else or skipping the touch function all together

[night maple]

dont do that just use print statements

[night maple]

does it work now?

im rlly trying my best

[crude quarry]

nah its just back to skipping the touch function lol

[night maple]

whats ur code

[crude quarry]

MovingPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Name == PointA then
PointA.Transparency = 1
print(hit)
end
end)

tried to mess around and change some stuff like == PointA to moving part but that didnt do anything either

[night maple]

MovingPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
print(hit)
if hit.Name == PointA then
PointA.Transparency = 1
end
end)

lmk what it returns now

[crude quarry]

I need to anchor the part so ignore baseplate

weird anchoring it removed the output

[radiant lantern]

wow

[shy dock]

how am I supposed to get small jobs for payment? #scripter-hiring is just full of people looking for a long-term scripter

is this good:

local partColor = part.BrickColor.Name
local partIsTouched = false

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = plr
    
    local colorSpins = Instance.new("IntValue")
    colorSpins.Name = "Color Spins"
    colorSpins.Parent = leaderstats
    colorSpins.Value = 0
    
    local color = Instance.new("StringValue")
    color.Name = "Color"
    color.Parent = leaderstats
    color.Value = partColor
    
    part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if not humanoid then return end
        if partIsTouched == false then
            partIsTouched = true
            part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
            colorSpins.Value += 1
            color.Value = part.BrickColor.Name
            if color.Value == "Really red" then
                print("UH OHHHH")
                humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health - 10
            end
            task.wait(1)
            partIsTouched = false
        end
    end)
end)

[silver verge]

No

youre making a new touched connection everytime a player joins

[wicked sentinel]

You're also using a poor debounce system, your current system is global for the part, regardless of who touches the part it will prevent everyone from using it

[tepid tide]

Hi. I need help with egg hatching system I will pay pls dm

Can multiple TweenService work in just 1 script ?

[frail glen]

guys

[hardy pilot]

Oo where?

[frail glen]

which idea is better

pokemon game

orIn this anime-inspired RPG, players step into a vast, mysterious world where they take on tasks, battle strange creatures, and explore a dangerous, ever-changing forest.

At the start, players arrive in a settlement or hub—a place where they can interact with NPCs, accept tasks, and prepare for their journey. The world is filled with mystical energy and semi-living beings, creatures that exist somewhere between life and something else. No one knows where they come from, but they roam the land, especially deep in the forest.

Players take on missions—some simple, like gathering materials, and others more intense, like hunting creatures or uncovering ancient secrets. As they complete these tasks, they earn better gear, making them stronger and allowing them to take on greater challenges.

But the real test lies beyond the settlement. Outside the safe zones, a massive forest stretches endlessly, growing darker and more hostile the further players venture. At first, the creatures are recognizable—beasts with twisted features, remnants of what they once were. But as players press deeper, the air grows heavy, their vision distorts with a reddish hue, and the creatures become more unnatural, surreal, and terrifying.

This forest is where the bravest players go, risking everything for powerful loot and hidden truths. Some don’t return. Others come back with stories of horrors that shouldn’t exist. The deeper you go, the harder it is to tell what's real and what's not.

It’s up to the player—how far will they go? How much will they risk? And what secrets will they uncover?

[hardy pilot]

Is this AI

[frail glen]

yea

but i created the idea

this is what i sent to gpt

its a world anime like where we are gonna create our own anime story
instead of basing it on an anime
where you get tasks have to complete them
to get stronger gear
where you can head into the forest and fight semi- creature like living beings
and the further you go the more youre screen gets blurry and red tinted and the stronger and strager enimies

i told him to explain it

[wise ember]

can someone help me ? it won't work properly

[tardy pasture]

dont dowload it its a virus

🙂

[wise ember]

its not tho

its vid

also I managed to fix the problem

but ran into another 💀

vfx wont load

if someone can help me

[deft stump]

use medal

[deft stump]

good idea but good luck coding it

?

im new to scripting so idk what that is

why is it like this

[iron oyster]

animation priority

[polar mason]

Im animating my ui, and when i spam the button that toggles it the ui breaks and the position dosnt change

[digital canopy]

What?

[polar mason]

can i explain in dms?

[charred night]

self: Territory, soldiers: number

[polar edge]

am i using the task.spawn correctly?

or was there a better way to do this

[bright anchor]

is this good for my first real script . it makes a text label when ever you clik r and tells you what number you got

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 1

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
screenGui.Parent = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

local textLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
textLabel.Parent = screenGui
textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 50)
textLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, -100, 0.5, -200)
textLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1
textLabel.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)
textLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)
textLabel.TextScaled = true
textLabel.Text = ""
textLabel.BorderColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then

    task.wait(0.2)

    local random = math.random(1, 6)
    print("You have rolled a dice")


    if random == 1 then
        humanoid.WalkSpeed += 1
        humanoid.JumpPower += 1
        print("You got 1!")

    elseif random == 2 then
        humanoid.WalkSpeed += 2
        humanoid.JumpPower += 2
        print("You got 2!")

    elseif random == 3 then
        humanoid.WalkSpeed += 3
        humanoid.JumpPower += 3
        print("You got 3!")

    elseif random == 4 then
        humanoid.WalkSpeed += 4
        humanoid.JumpPower += 4
        print("You got 4!")

    elseif random == 5 then
        humanoid.WalkSpeed += 5
        humanoid.JumpPower += 5
        print("You got 5!")

    elseif random == 6 then
        humanoid.WalkSpeed += 6
        humanoid.JumpPower += 6
        print("You got 6!")
    end

    textLabel.Text = "You rolled a " .. random
    textLabel.Visible = true

    
    task.wait(1)

    
    textLabel.Visible = false
end

end)

[digital canopy]

Sure

[digital canopy]

Complicated for no reason

U could just do humanoid.WalkSpeed += random
humanoid.JumpPower += random
print("You got ".. random .."!
Instead of all that

[bright anchor]

Oh thank you that saves so much

[polar mason]

I sent check

[static coral]

if you put a script under an actor will only threads that use :ConnectParallel and task.desynchronize be in parallel or will any threads that you create from the script be in parallel?

[keen zephyr]

hello, I am trying to make the lava rise to the top of the glass but it doesn't just rise up, it increases the y axis but also goes into the ground if u get what I'm saying. How can I fix this?

^^this is my code

[static coral]

there is a method on baseparts to change the size of only a certain face of the part, i forgot what its called but try lava:extend and it should autofill

then you have to use normalID of the face of the part that is pointing upwards

[keen zephyr]

👍

okay I will try this thank you

[static coral]

also sidenote use task.wait instead of wait

[keen zephyr]

ight 👍

[digital canopy]

You can tween both position and size in this case

UI tweening has this same problem and I do that, it should work on parts too

[static coral]

with ui you can just change the anchorpoints

and it will resize accordingly

[digital canopy]

ye I don't use anchorpoints they annoying

[static coral]

and actually you can do the same with parts, just change the pivot

[static coral]

anchorpoints on top bro just learn how to use them they easy

ui will resize from its anchorpoint

[digital canopy]

I don't find any use of it and when you set anchorpoint you can't even properly interact with the UI to change position

Ik it's useful but I don't use it

[static coral]

wdym

you can just account for the anchorpoint

its not hard

[digital canopy]

What?

[static coral]

i always set all my ui anchorpoints to .5, .5

[digital canopy]

what does .5,.5 do?

[static coral]

otherwise its shit for tweening and centering

it sets anchorpoint to the center of the part

anchor point position is between 0 and 1 because it uses scale factor

[digital canopy]

For every single UI?

[static coral]

anchorpoint position in pixels = ui position * scale set for anchorpoint

[static coral]

well most of them

[digital canopy]

Will that solve the issue when frames do not stay at the center when it's positioned on center on your screen for other screens

[static coral]

except for like loading bars that resize from left to right or health bars

[uncut dove]

About how much would it cost for a full working battlegrounds like combat system?

[digital canopy]

I know scaling, but Y value still changes

[static coral]

yes, and remember to use scale and not offset otherwise it will not scale properly

[digital canopy]

I know yeah

okay thanks I'll try to use it

also what are some exceptions?

when you shouldn't use it

[static coral]

if u set anchorpoints to .5, .5 then u can set ui position to exactly .5, .5 in scale factor and it will be perfectly centered

[static coral]

as i said, loading bars or health bars. mostly some fancy tweening shit are the exceptions

[digital canopy]

Oh I get it now.

[static coral]

but for my menus and stuff that i want to center i use .5

its easier because if anchor point is 0, 0 you have to calculate the offset from the center to center it in the screen

and thats just ass

[placid pollen]

i have made a inven system in which the player has a table Inventory and a table of equipped items. when player equips it moves the item from inven to equipped table pretty simple. now the player can get multiple of the same item with slightly different stats. so should i give each item a id using math.random or is there a better way?

[toxic heath]

Is it physically impossible to move a PBR texture? I want to make a conveyor belt look like it’s moving but I can’t seem to make the material move through any level of scripting.

[native orchid]

Use editable meshes and adjust the UVs over time

[toxic heath]

i still have zero understanding of editable meshes

[static coral]

cant u just put the texture on the conveyor and then constantly just increase the offset

[toxic heath]

arent they really intensive on performance

[toxic heath]

doesnt use pbr

[static coral]

wdym

sorry i havent really used pbr

[toxic heath]

pbr means it just refracts light in a way that represents a more realistic visual

a texture is completely flat

[static coral]

but you are still using a texture object tho right?

[toxic heath]

texture objects dont support pbr

only a static image

[static coral]

oh

idk then sorry

updateIconPosition()
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(updateIconPosition)

I'm trying to make a script that basically detects the chat logo's button, receives its size and position, and then to modify my frame to adjust to its exact size and position; similarly to how a custom chat button would do, but in this case I am trying to make a button with the same style ROBLOX has.

However, the main issue is that I can't access the CoreGui, which the issue states that its at line [11] since I tried to access it there, giving the error "The current thread cannot access 'CoreGui' (lacking capability Plugin)".

Perhaps I am trying to access it incorrectly or did the system change?

[toxic heath]

i got something working but i dont know how to make it not briefly flash with each loop around

its like theres a short delay

[exotic root]

need scripter

for battlegrounds game

[static coral]

maybe try game.CoreGui or game:FindFirstChildOfClass(“CoreGui”), it may be :GetService that is messing it up. GetService can behave a little strangely sometimes i have seen

[half temple]

okay thanks, i'll try

[static coral]

alr

if it doesnt work then idrk

[half temple]

do you know any other ways to access the BubbleChat or chat?

[static coral]

nope

maybe check topbarplus

the module by hd

or whatever he called

[carmine imp]

is the solution on this thread actually the way people script tools to work with custom player animations? or is there an easier way?
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/how-can-i-animate-a-character-with-a-tool-then-script-it-to-work-in-game/2525992

[terse vector]

You mean you don't want to use RStudio for animations? Or an easier way rather than uploading and getting it's assetid, if the latter then yes, there are ways to directly import custom animations and implement them freely.

who sent u a not working script 😭

[tawdry terrace]

i got scammed

[cinder basalt]

must be some newer model ai

[tawdry terrace]

i told a guy to edit my script but he used ai

[cinder basalt]

never seen ai use self

[tawdry terrace]

no he edited my original code with ai

[cinder basalt]

u paid upfront?

[tawdry terrace]

i told him to fix errors and make it more optimized and he used ai deleted al outputs and important functions

[tawdry terrace]

yes

[cinder basalt]

😔

report him

[tawdry terrace]

hes not in this server

[cinder basalt]

;d

[tawdry terrace]

he was in my dm randomly

and he said he could help

[cinder basalt]

something like dis usually says ai

who uses exlamation marks

🗿

there are some people who would actually write it like this tho so its not 100% accurate

[tawdry terrace]

i hate scammers

[cinder basalt]

and 0 comments is also sketchy

[tawdry terrace]

i got scammed 11 times though i still pay upfront believing at least 1 person wont scam

[cinder basalt]

bro stop paying upfront

[tawdry terrace]

ok now i wont

bro they were all so nice and then when i paid them most of them gave me a file of ai or stolen assets or nothing with empty folder

[cinder basalt]

thats why u background check people

[tawdry terrace]

i do check portfolio

[cinder basalt]

perhaps you should just only deal with people from bigger dev discords

or sites

cus portfolios can be stolen and chances of you recognizing anything from these as stolen are near 0

[tawdry terrace]

they wont even answer my dm. i had 1 really nice friend who used to work with me but he died

he is never online

so now i am looking for another dev m getting scammed

im real can you help me

wondering if someone, can give me some advice on this

firstly i was creating the grid with attachments
so i switched to tables

for the node
and then i was using nested loops
but tht was buffering alot
so i used coroutines, which extended the load time but freezed alot
so im processing it in batches
wondering if theres anything i can improve one

its smooth rn tho

but if was to make the map yk bigger it'd prolly lag again

its for pathfinding

[bleak glade]

it can

you just have to be smart enough to tell it to use it

[cinder basalt]

🤦‍♂️

you can tell it to use anything and it will

but it just doesnt appear in the code naturally

If anyone wanna works on a percentage based game which u can use for portfolio DM ME

[mossy yoke]

thanks man just watched the first 6 videos

pretty basic but correct me if im wrong scripting is just stacking functions

[pearl briar]

You’re not entirely wrong! Scripting is essentially about writing sequences of instructions (functions, commands, or statements) that the computer executes in order.

[mint cloud]

print(“Hello world”)

[remote mirage]

plsss how to fix? https://gyazo.com/0425c95f45f6a83f7c85c0ddfb880c39

code: insidebar:TweenSize(UDim2.new(1,0,1,0), "In", "Linear", 10, true)

and yes i know tweensize is depreciated but idk how to use the new one

[somber vault]

Use a CanvasGroup

[mossy yoke]

im currently on the functions part of the tutorial, is this the most optimized way to write script? write all ur local functions then have them run all out at the bottom

[mint cloud]

In practice, nobody actually does that except OCD

[mossy yoke]

Okay bet im js looking at the tutorial lol

wouldnt it be good tho to have it organized

[mint cloud]

Ye but more likely to call them as you need them

[pearl briar]

yeah It keeps the script organized and makes it easy to read.

[mossy yoke]

ah okay sounds good

[mossy yoke]

I have a headache trying to read this

May i eventually understand every single line in this lol

havent even reached what .Parent means 😭

you should just read the roblox documentation bro

i didnt even know thats a thing

https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/use-case-tutorials/scripting/basic-scripting/intro-to-scripting

[mossy yoke]

Preciate it bro

Im still gonna watch this course tho cause its more hands on video wise

[mossy yoke]

what does pba mean

[mint cloud]

Paralysis by analysis

[mossy yoke]

I dont even know what that means

Lol

Ima make sure to read all of this too

[mint cloud]

It means your so busy learning you never apply it

It’s what I did 😭😭

[mossy yoke]

ah

Well its good i have roblox studio following what he does

and then after each lesson doing my own thing

with whatever he just taught me right?

[mint cloud]

Yes

In the ~2 years since I’ve started learning luau I’ve spent like < 3hours on studio 💔

[mossy yoke]

I just hope 3-6 months from now i have decent knowledge and skill

I know this will take hours upon hours of learning

[mint cloud]

U for sure will

Only takes a couple weeks if that before u can do basic commissions

[mossy yoke]

My goal in 3-6 months from now is to have enough knowledge to build a very low skill/easy game such as an obby (as my friend suggested) and simple comissions too

Theres so much to make that i wouldnt even know what to make tbh lol

[mint cloud]

It takes about an hour to learn how to build and obby 🙏

[pearl briar]

all you need is a kill brick lol

[mint cloud]

And that includes basic gui, checkpoints and respawning

[mossy yoke]

that too i also gotta learn how to build/model 💔

my friend suggested i learn scripting and building/modeling as those are basically the most 2-3 important skills to have

or i could use low poly or any model packs out there

[mint cloud]

I ain’t ever learning how to model, live free

(jk)

-ish

[mossy yoke]

Being a solo dev is hard

hopefully i fidn my connections along the way

[mint cloud]

Yup

[mossy yoke]

Hope to see how things end up by end of 2025

1+ year is all it takes

[mint cloud]

Hopefully I get off av and start scripting 🙏🙏

use this to trigger the script when the part is touched "part.Touched:Connect(function)" and do this for the sound "sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://idkskibidisigma"" for the animation u can use "Loadanimation()"

[solar knoll]

i mean its not a big issue but id just rather have it highlighted

Thank you!

put it up in creations

[dusky fox]

try using this https://devforum.roblox.com/t/raycast-hitbox-401-for-all-your-melee-needs/374482 if you ever make one

its really good. idk why people dont use it much

[coral field]

probably latency issues

[dusky fox]

a suggestion i have is adding the parts in a folder. not workspace since its gonna be super cluttered, and i see you are legit changing the positions even when they havent changed. this might lag so id change that, there might be more stuff that might lag the game but i have not looked at the script to judge it that much

[dusky fox]

but its way better than the hitboxes on games like tsb imo

[coral field]

maybe

ive never used it so

[dusky fox]

lol

[austere shore]

what does it do

[coral field]

its a hitbox

checks if something is in the raycasts detection

or something like that

then its used to attack the other player

[wise ember]

can someone help me? I want to change the IDLE and WALK/RUN animation but it wont work

this is the code

[remote bear]

thanks for the suggestions and this is just a test since i am trying to get the same kind of effect in my procedural isometric system, though i already added a height map system to it, though it doesn’t look good)

[austere shore]

#code-help

[steady cove]

dm me if you have experience with pytorch

[half kelp]

I need help with the game pass if your experienced with lua please dm me

[rapid eagle]

So if I am experienced with lua I pass?

[dusky fox]

ohh! good luck with that and have a nice day haha

[rapid eagle]

Something seems off with the sentence

[dusky fox]

nothing really, i like seeing stuff like that get developed since if you look at games like fisch where water/terrain is 100% of the game. they just use the normal roblox terrain

[half kelp]

yes please dm

[patent mirage]

i can help u

[tacit apex]

really @patent mirage

add me

[topaz wraith]

yo did yall learn scripting by forums or tutorials?

[restive wigeon]

both

but it's generally healthier to go on forums and read roblox documentation

and not copy code

[topaz wraith]

Im watching brawldevs advanced tut rn and im at like ep 6-7 about 2 way communication but i feel like i can’t script at all is this normal?

[restive wigeon]

infact, it's good to read the entire API but if you dont wanna then just read the part that you need/work wiht

[restive wigeon]

you'll never know if you don't try

but generally i feel the same

[topaz wraith]

I tried and don’t know where to start

[topaz wraith]

Yea i need to get out of that also

[restive wigeon]

make an idea/small game

like, start with an obby

[topaz wraith]

Hmh

[restive wigeon]

and get to know roblox pyshics engine

CFrame, position and stuff like that

tweening is a big part

[topaz wraith]

But ain’t u gotta do that after the advance tut?

[restive wigeon]

?

[topaz wraith]

Cuz i still dk how cframe works or tweening enc

[restive wigeon]

in my opinion

that should be the first thing to learn

[static coral]

do you know the basics

[restive wigeon]

cause it's not that complicated, you don't need some advanced syntax

[static coral]

and have you watched his beginner tutorial

[restive wigeon]

and it helps you to visualze code

[topaz wraith]

Yes but when i script i out of nowhere don’t know where to use them

[topaz wraith]

Rlly

[restive wigeon]

learn how to manipulate blocks first

[static coral]

do you practice with the video or do you just watch them

[topaz wraith]

Just watch them

[restive wigeon]

oof

[static coral]

then you need to restart

[restive wigeon]

at the very least you'd have to follow with him

[static coral]

i can guarantee you you dont know anything that you watched

rewatch the entire beginner tutorial

and then practice what you learn

and try to change it up and understand what is happening

[idle rain]

What is good retention for games

[topaz wraith]

For how long? And how many different scripts should i make with the thing i learned?

[restive wigeon]

• bonus tip, try writing the code down on a paper or notepad

[static coral]

not necessary

[topaz wraith]

Does that acc help?

[static coral]

until you understand it

[topaz wraith]

But what if i think i understand it but i acc dont?

[static coral]

id suggest even rewatching certain videos until you get the hang of what is being taught

but dont get stuck in tutorial hell

[restive wigeon]

for me, i forget CFRame parameters all the time, and I have a paper taped next to my screen with everything considering CFrame

[restive wigeon]

make something

[topaz wraith]

What if i just restart with forums?

[static coral]

thats why roblox documentation exists

[restive wigeon]

learn while making something

[static coral]

do you know any other programming language

[topaz wraith]

No

[restive wigeon]

ye, but when i started i didn't know how roblox doc works so i made my own doc lol

[topaz wraith]

Wild

[static coral]

then stick to the beginner youtube tutorial

dont do devforum rn

you should use that later

[topaz wraith]

Okay so

1. Rewatch the beginner tut
2. Acc write with him and learn from it
3. Make something
4. Go to the next video

[static coral]

well there are beginner related things on devforum but id suggest just sticking to youtube tutorials, practice and experimentation for now

[topaz wraith]

Whens that

[restive wigeon]

I'll gurantee you one thing, if you stick at it, you'll 100% get good at it. The point is to just not quit.

[static coral]

when you feel comfortable enough to use it. i mean there are beginner friendly topics on devforum but it can be a little advanced

another thing i suggest

or actually highly recommend

[topaz wraith]

Yh its acc a hell bro😭

[topaz wraith]

Got it

[static coral]

is to not just copy the code from the tutorial

try to understand what it does

[topaz wraith]

And then make my own code

[static coral]

and then try to change it and manipulate it

[static coral]

ye

i also recommend learning programming terminology and roblox terminology because then you can use roblox documentation

[topaz wraith]

Bet

Uh

How long are you scripting for?

[static coral]

more or less a year iirc

[topaz wraith]

Wild

U seem pretty good

[static coral]

roblox scripting not that difficult

[gloomy kraken]

oh math.noise wasnt that bad

[static coral]

its based on lua

[gloomy kraken]

i thought it would be way harder

[restive wigeon]

roblox scripting isn't THAT hard

it's just that there's 1000 different functions, parameters and instances

[topaz wraith]

I heard it was the easiest version

[topaz wraith]

Real

[restive wigeon]

for example for 2 way communications you have remote functions and bindalbe functions

[static coral]

built in functions and parameters are fine, its learning how to actually make use of the shit ton of services and different objects there are

like i can guarantee most people wont know what path2d is

and it can be pretty useful

[restive wigeon]

remote functions communicates server-client, and bindable function communicates local-local cript

[restive wigeon]

yea

[restive wigeon]

or motor6D

[static coral]

bindable is not client - client only its same context level, which means server - server as well

[restive wigeon]

or that

[static coral]

nah thats more known especially in animation

[restive wigeon]

local-local or server-server ye i know hta

[topaz wraith]

How many tutorials do u advice me to watch per day?

[static coral]

well

idk

[restive wigeon]

it isn't how many tuts you watch

[static coral]

as many as you feel comfortable with

[restive wigeon]

it's how much you practice

[static coral]

just dont go too fast

[topaz wraith]

How many would u advise me

[topaz wraith]

Yh then 0

Scripting is mentally abusement

Its horror

[restive wigeon]

depending on what you're working on

[static coral]

then i suggest learning building instead

[topaz wraith]

Na

[restive wigeon]

if you're just starting out in animation you'd ofcourse have to watch way more tuts

[topaz wraith]

I just gotta work my way through even tho its mentally abusement

[restive wigeon]

yyea building's a pretty good startline

[topaz wraith]

I wanna learn scripting, animation, vfx and ui

[restive wigeon]

start with learning how to manipulate parts, tweening the parts and etc.

make a game where you have to like

[topaz wraith]

My goal

[restive wigeon]

dodge balls being thrown at you

[static coral]

you can learn basically all of those alongside scripting since you are working with many objects

[restive wigeon]

true

[topaz wraith]

Thats a good one

[static coral]

you can learn how to manipulate them with code

[topaz wraith]

Yea thats why

Building and modelling later or sm

[restive wigeon]

for starters just learn syntax

loops, functions, variables etc.

for example

for i,v in pairs(model) do
end

[topaz wraith]

Functions is a peace of code that can be re-used everytime right?

[restive wigeon]

is a very important one

[restive wigeon]

ye

[static coral]

pairs is useless just so you know

[restive wigeon]

NO!

don't bully in pairs

[static coral]

ipairs maybe has SOME use but type checking exists

i will bully pairs

[restive wigeon]

or just do

for i,v in model do
end

[static coral]

thats gonna error 🤓

[restive wigeon]

😮‍💨

[loud stratus]

What use does ipairs have

💀

Pairs and ipairs should just be removed

[static coral]

its kinda useless too

the only place it can be “used” is in a table, if you want to loop through only the numerical indexes of a table

but you shouldnt have tables that have keys of varying types anyway

[fluid pier]

any of yall know any good mysql hosting services

idk if you guys could help for free i my project on making a first person camera with a white dot on the center of the screen, if you could i would be very thankful and i understand that you guys could have more important commisions. Thankyou !

[somber vault]

i can help
but im not a beginner lol

[violet grotto]

hello im tryna fix my first person camera but i have a problem with setting the transparency of the accessory

local TransparencyTable = {}

wait()

for I, V in pairs(Char:GetChildren()) do
    
    warn(V)
    warn(V.ClassName)
    
    if V:IsA("BasePart") and V.Name == "Head" then
        
        TransparencyTable[V] = V.Transparency
        TransparencyTable["face"] = V.face.Transparency
        
    elseif V:IsA("BasePart") and V.Name ~= "Head" then
        
        warn(V)
        TransparencyTable[V] = V.Transparency
        
    elseif V:IsA("Accessory") then
        
            TransparencyTable[V] = {}
            TransparencyTable[V]["Handle"] = V.Handle.Transparency
            
    end
    
    
end```

thats the part of the script that stores the transparency of the different parts. the problem is when the player dies or spawns for the first time when the script runs it doesnt detect the accessories

[somber vault]

Okay,

i think this is because the character does not completely load sometimes so how can i make it so the script waits untill the character completely loads (including the accessories)

[warm pumice]

They’re not welded onto the pets properly

[elder spindle]

its inconsistent like it works sometimes then other times it does that

[warm pumice]

Well then make sure all parts are welded before spawning them into workspace

Pick a primary part and then weld all other parts that are a descendant of the model to that part

[elder spindle]

oh i did it

thanks

wait nvm no i didnt wtf

i added this but it still doesnt work??

            local PrimaryPart = NewPet:FindFirstChild("MainPart")
            if PrimaryPart then
                -- wait for it
                local success, err = pcall(function()
                    PrimaryPart = NewPet:WaitForChild("MainPart")
                end)

                -- check
                if not success or not PrimaryPart then
                    warn("Pet " .. NewPet.Name .. " has no PrimaryPart or MainPart")
                    continue
                end

                -- welding to primary
                for _, part in ipairs(NewPet:GetDescendants()) do
                    if part:IsA("BasePart") or part:IsA("MeshPart") and part ~= PrimaryPart then
                        if not part:FindFirstChild("WeldConstraint") then
                            local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
                            weld.Part0 = PrimaryPart
                            weld.Part1 = part
                            weld.Parent = part
                        end

[warm pumice]

Welded in wrong places

[solemn pendant]

Bro stop send the script there no errors

This about welded

Thing

Fix this than done everything working

[elder spindle]

i dont understand

[solemn pendant]

Go search on yt what is weld

[elder spindle]

dude i know what a weld is 😭

[solemn pendant]

Than fix this

That not hard

[elder spindle]

then how do i fix it

because it works sometimes and then other times it doesnt

see

[solemn pendant]

Like see the script if the script effect the weld

If this effect this than u better fix this

[elder spindle]

the script is the one adding the welds

[solemn pendant]

Nah remove this line and make ur own word

Weld

Don’t let script make weld on the pets system

[elder spindle]

wdym? like make the welds myself in the model??

[solemn pendant]

That effect ur game

To much

[elder spindle]

how come?

[solemn pendant]

Yh

[violet grotto]

thanks 👍

[elder spindle]

but there's so many parts

thats why im using a script

[solemn pendant]

That how that will go this only solution

For this problem

Or u can make big event

[elder spindle]

thats the only solution???

[solemn pendant]

Yh but there one way

With script

[elder spindle]

what is it

[solemn pendant]

But that take long tbh

And hard

[elder spindle]

idc its probably easier than doing all those welds myself 😭

tell me what it is

[solemn pendant]

By notifying script on every child on the pet

Like if there
3 part on pet

That he weld that with custom weld on every pets

Whice make that easy

But that hard to make

[elder spindle]

wdym by that

and also im still confused why my current script is inconsistent?

because u said there's no errors

so why do the parts still do that

[solemn pendant]

You need notify the script how many part are they in the pet

Or make them by ur self

[elder spindle]

when im looping through the descendants isn't that going through every part??

[solemn pendant]

Yes

[sullen summit]

Ok so my script creates a text label when the player joins . I know how to customize how the label looks but do I really have to click play over and over to make sure it looks how I want it to

[elder spindle]

so am i not already doing that? 😭

[woven sand]

guys, I’ve thought of something “simple” yet outright outrageous and ridiculous to implement in roblox

Is it possible if, lets say, screenshot every frame from a movie like the Avengers or whatever movie out there

Then add some sort of code like:

change decal 1
Wait()
Change decal2
Wait ()

In short: making a “functional movie”

and so on

How likely is this possible (lets pretend copyright isnt a thing)

[static coral]

it is possible but its gonna take a very long time

cause of all the screenshots you gonna need

[woven sand]

im wondering if this would cause a large amount of lag from this or other performance issue

[static coral]

and you are likely gonna reach your image upload limit so you gonna have to wait a month for that too

[woven sand]

ah, crap

[static coral]

unless you use alts

[static coral]

i dont think so, it will just be very jank because the images will take a while to load because there will be so many

[woven sand]

Fair enough

Thx for sharing ur thoughts about it

Its been on the back of my mind lately

[lofty plinth]

U can technically preload tho

And then play after theyve been all loaded

[solemn pendant]

Aghh just do this by urself

That it

[spiral drum]

does anyone know machine learning

[tropic plume]

im adding mobile support to my game, and im making it so when you tap the screen it punches. However, im running into an issue: when i first tap the joystick button on mobile to move, it also punches. how do i prevent this?

[vast kindle]

I'm wondering as why my hitbox doesn't always connect, If i delay the hit it'll not connect, otherwise, it'll work

As you see the first front dash, it connects

but when i delay the hit, the hitbox doesnt connect

[dark cedar]

you are using getpartboundsinbox right?

[vast kindle]

getspartinpart

[vast kindle]

can u help tho?

[dark cedar]

I thought I could but, even if you were using getprtboundsinbox i realized your issue is the opposite of what I thought so I cant really sorry

[vast kindle]

Here's another video

It doesn't really connect

[hasty steeple]

I don't know shit about roblox but it looks like your detection only happens as soon as you spawn/create hit hitbox and not while its alive. Just my assumption tho

[static coral]

if you are using userinputservice, you can use the gameprocessed argument. otherwise if you are using contextactionservice you can either make a specific button for punching or make a big button that covers one side of the screen for punching

[violet grotto]

i cant test with more than 1 player after i start 1 i cant start another if i choose 2 players it only opens 1

why?

[vast kindle]

yeah thats what im saying, any clue how to fix it?

[swift vector]

hey uh how comes when i try to set the size of a part to a certain decimal number like 1.4, printing the value or trying to use it in a variable is showing as 1.399999..

[hasty mesa]

because floats

they aren't able to represent all decimals

[swift vector]

oh i see, is there any way to avoid this? (i.e make the variable save as exactly 1.4)

or should i just use a round function

[hasty mesa]

do you need it to be exactly 1.4

[swift vector]

yes

[hasty mesa]

for comparison?

or what

[swift vector]

yes im trying to work out if the x and z lengths are divisible by the y length (for applying textures)

[hollow tinsel]

watching tutorial, no idea how this works

[swift vector]

and here x and z are both 28 which is divisble by 1.4 but its showing false bc of the rounding issues

[hasty mesa]

you can either round it or store it somewhere like an attribute

[hasty mesa]

it would keep printing until it loops 5 times

[hollow tinsel]

where did it state that tho.

[hasty mesa]

here

[hollow tinsel]

does the = 1 have anything to do with it

[hasty mesa]

that just sets the starting value

its like I give you 1 apple at the start

keep giving you apples until you have <=5 apples

[hollow tinsel]

so the local = starting vaue

[hasty mesa]

if local myWhileCounter = 2 it means you had 2 apples at the start

[hasty mesa]

yeah

[hollow tinsel]

if for the last line i chnage to +2 what happen

[hasty mesa]

then each time I would give you 2 apples instead of 1

[hollow tinsel]

very very helpful, thanks alot

I need help with something which is probably easy to fix but i dont really know what exactly i should do.

(dont need to roast me even if the solution is simple, please)

[hollow tinsel]

how come this print a once then print b 5 times)

so total printed 25 b , 5 a. shouldnt it only be 5 each
