[jaunty socket]

it has to be the problem with the ragdoll

[lost pebble]

definitely not

[celest thorn]

how do i start doing commissions n stuff

[jaunty socket]

record a video on how it works

[lost pebble]

get the scripting role and you can post in #scripter-hirable using the bot commands

[celest thorn]

I have basic knowledge of scripting but i cant do Like fancy fps games or Vehicle movement system or fancy abilties

[lost pebble]

basically what everyone asks for lmao

[celest thorn]

lol better keep learning then ig

[tawdry elk]

i hope roblox fix the exploiters

and have a anti cheat like fokin other games

it makes my scripting more anxious

[jaunty socket]

Like dude

[hoary cedar]

L

Get yourself a chronically online employee

Or spread out your workforce's timezones

Not too far, or your developers won't be able to coordinate effectively

[jaunty socket]

Bug's not being squashed:
Multiple UI's bug
Teleporting in a random location to prevent tp killing or spawn killing

[hoary cedar]

How's the latter a bug?

[olive ingot]

I don't want to stress over coding but it kinda feels like I have to... Despite ntk having to since I don't have a time frame

[hoary cedar]

Stress over it how?

[jaunty socket]

wdym latter?

[olive ingot]

I'm the only scripter my small group has and I have... No real experience or knowledge.

And I struggle to see how I could code the game

I hate that I know how to go about making something yet can't...

Ig I'll just watch some videos before bed.

[hoary cedar]

It's just a matter of time

[jaunty socket]

can anyone help with the ragdoll death sound? It wont activate

[olive ingot]

I suppose.

[young sorrel]

yea you will get there eventually

[olive ingot]

But I'm just... weird.

I'm a perfectionist and I tend to not be willing to invest time into things

For example, I have dropped many things due to just fearing that the effort i put in will nto yield results I desire

it's why I dropped aim training completely

[young sorrel]

if you do that how will you get experience

[olive ingot]

Ik. It's dumb

It's more of a stress thing I feel

[spiral sable]

Well if you learn something about programming, you can always pick it back up later. Thats how I learned a bit at least.

[young sorrel]

the most important thing is to never give up

[olive ingot]

true

[lost pebble]

im a perfectionist too. i would get frustrated when coding too (who wouldnt). but i never let that stop me

it's the struggle that makes it worth it

[jaunty socket]

can anyone help with the ragdoll death sound? It wont activate

[lost pebble]

how are you doing the ragdoll?

[hoary cedar]

Perfectionism is a sign of a scripting prospect

[tawdry elk]

does decompiler exploit still exist 💀

[lost pebble]

yes. i believe so

[hardy pilot]

Yes

[tawdry elk]

dang

[mellow loom]

anyone know anybody who i can pay to combine vfx with a cutscene

[olive ingot]

It's a sign of negativity for me, but thanks ig

[hoary cedar]

I mean, just look at how I write my scripts:
https://github.com/Ziffixture/Roblox/blob/main/Spectate.lua

[olive ingot]

I'm trying to be kinder to myself

[hardy pilot]

Ok weirdo

[olive ingot]

OK normie

tsk

[hoary cedar]

I'll never stop trying to improve the readability and efficiency of my scripts, and it's the first thing I look for in others'

Eventually, you'll reach a point where you can work with bad code

Even write some of your own

At the top of the perfectionist hierarchy is "eh, fuck it"

[olive ingot]

lol

Hmhow do I fix my script...

[hoary cedar]

That comes with experience, lol

[lost pebble]

bro saw the opportunity to flex

[spiral sable]

I usually spam print statements to find where the errors are lol 😛

[lost pebble]

console: 😔

[mellow loom]

or is there anyone i can comm to do this?

if anyone knows anybody

[hoary cedar]

Calling it a flex means you think it's good

That's where the real ego boost is

But it really is just an example

[lost pebble]

i just skimmed through it

[olive ingot]

can someone help me out here?

[olive ingot]

wha

[hoary cedar]

That error couldn't be any clearer

[olive ingot]

😭

[hoary cedar]

Do your reading comprehension grade justice

[hoary cedar]

game.GetService

[olive ingot]

I tried switching out . for : wheever function was mentioned

and it did nothing

[hoary cedar]

[olive ingot]

😭

Bro Ig I'll tyr it again

[hoary cedar]

Let's see line 3

[olive ingot]

that was what I first did

and it did nothing

[spiral sable]

Whats line 3

[hoary cedar]

(Suddenly it works)

[olive ingot]

oh, I was missing smth

[hoary cedar]

(There it is)

[spiral sable]

😭

[olive ingot]

uhhh

ok so

[hoary cedar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxGRhd_iWuE

[olive ingot]

i think ym dash worked..?

but

only once..?

yeah nah

[hoary cedar]

That's a different problem

[olive ingot]

i was just trwekaing, it didn';t work

at all

[hoary cedar]

You fixed the error

Not your bad code

[olive ingot]

😭

I used a tutorial

and it worked perfectly for him

[spiral sable]

How much do you know about coding

[hoary cedar]

Either,

1. The tutorial's outdated
2. You failed to follow the tutorial to the T

Y'all oughta be checking the release date of these YouTube videos like the expiry date on the back of milk cartons

[lost pebble]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/935989994735169546/1146191405081964554/cola_for_you.gif

[olive ingot]

here

[hoary cedar]

What on God's good Earth is that whitespace?

Don't tell me the YouTuber did that too?

[olive ingot]

.

😭

I was just following a tutorial

[spiral sable]

Wait...

[olive ingot]

it was 2024 oct 4

not that old

[hoary cedar]

That is some ass code

[olive ingot]

Figured-

[hoary cedar]

These kids be release tutorials like they're engineered to perfection

[spiral sable]

Aren't bindable events only on one side either client or server?

[hoary cedar]

Correct

[olive ingot]

I'm just trying to make a universal direction dash

wha

[hoary cedar]

Your InputManager script is supposed to be a LocalScript

[spiral sable]

The events mostly do different things

[olive ingot]

so do I jsut delete all this code?

[hoary cedar]

^

[olive ingot]

idrk what that means..

[hoary cedar]

UserInputService ties into the input devices of the clients. The server is not able to this

That would be an infringement on the client's security

[olive ingot]

💀...

[spiral sable]

It means when the player inputs something into the game it comes from a local script

From the point of view of the player

[olive ingot]

oh

CLient sided

[spiral sable]

Yeah

[olive ingot]

not server sided?

ahh

[hoary cedar]

Correct

[spiral sable]

A local script

[olive ingot]

oki

[hoary cedar]

This ^

[olive ingot]

alr

[hoary cedar]

Is supposed to be this ^

[jaunty socket]

Can anyone help with the death sound? It doesnt make a sound when i added ragdoll

[olive ingot]

can I keep the Input maanger script or do I delete that one too?

[lost pebble]

how are you doing the ragdoll?

[olive ingot]

I might try make my own script per chance

[spiral sable]

I would just take the code and put it into a local script for input manager

[jaunty socket]

local script

[lost pebble]

i mean how does it work?

[hoary cedar]

The code is fine. It's just in the wrong source container

Scripts run on the server, while LocalScripts run on the client's device

[olive ingot]

ah

[jaunty socket]

it ragdolls you, when you die

[hoary cedar]

You're working with user input, so you need to operate on the client's device

[olive ingot]

If I wanted to give myself multiple dash charges, how could I do that?

also, how would I change the Cooldown of the dashes?

[lost pebble]

so you're using the player's character and not replacing it?

[jaunty socket]

nope, i aint replacing the ragdoll

and its not on characterscripts

and it still works

[jaunty socket]

(In workspace)

[lost pebble]

the first 7 lines of the script you originally sent works completely fine. so the ragdoll script has to be getting in the way. can you send a video of it?

[olive ingot]

I put the same code into a normal script. It's not working-

btw, back onto the script

which part actually uses the dash?

I want to add another condition

[jaunty socket]

k

[olive ingot]

wait, is that the right thing to say..

lemem think

[jaunty socket]

of me resetting??

[hoary cedar]

You've only worsend the problem

[lost pebble]

yeah

[olive ingot]

what.

[hoary cedar]

You switched the wrong script. Both are now server-sided

Both scripts must be blue

[olive ingot]

what.

[hoary cedar]

^^^

[olive ingot]

I thoguht Gray was

local

[hoary cedar]

No

[jaunty socket]

https://medal.tv/games/roblox-studio/clips/k3eIj3YFpFAGyBSl3?invite=cr-MSwxdjUsMzQ5OTMyMjk3

[lost pebble]

check the died sound while testing and see if the id has changed

[jaunty socket]

k

just for checking

the sound id in the script?

[lost pebble]

no

in your character's hrp

[dim epoch]

I have this rig, it moves weirdly as if it's on a slippery platform, pretty sure it's because of it's design. Any way I can avoid this?

[jaunty socket]

I dont see it

like

where can i locate it

i forgot

[olive ingot]

OK so, good news. Dash works.
Bad news, It's HILARIOUSLY too fast

but uh

thanks

👍

[dull acorn]

can a local script find properties of other things in serverscriptservice

[lost pebble]

find your character

[lost pebble]

no

[dull acorn]

ohh k ty

[lost pebble]

you're welcome

[dull acorn]

what about in workspace though

[lost pebble]

of course

[dull acorn]

kk thanks

[lost pebble]

you're welcome

[olive ingot]

@hoary cedar btw, in my code, which part of it executes the dash itself?

I want to add charge system where I am able to spend 1 charge to dash which they regen over time. But idk the code behind it

[jaunty socket]

ohhh so do i place the death sound in the humanoid root part?

[lost pebble]

the script you sent changes the default sound already. so you dont have to

but yes. you would

well, replace the default sound

[jaunty socket]

I saw the oof local script inside the character

[lost pebble]

so did it change the sound id?

[jaunty socket]

nope

still dont hear anything

even thoi placed the sound in the humanoid root part

[lost pebble]

send a ss of the sound's id

[frank pollen]

dont fight explotiers

youll never win

[hoary cedar]

This line right here is where it all begins. You can add additional checks to stop the dash from proceeding

[lost pebble]

that's why you bully them and make it hard to exploit

[hoary cedar]

This is what causes the dash to proceed:

[frank pollen]

Script kiddies are easy to find, someone who actually makes exploit youll never win

[hoary cedar]

This is what causes the dash:

[hoary cedar]

I've made a few in my past

[frank pollen]

just dont give them secure stuff

[hoary cedar]

I dedicated myself to one exploit, around 800 lines

Sold it for $5 a pop

[frank pollen]

same my og phantom forces aimbot is stilll unpatched to this day

[hoary cedar]

I never needed aimbot

I'm rank 197

[frank pollen]

its been around for almost 9 years now

im rank like 250smtn on my legit acc

[hoary cedar]

I developed an ESP exploit for Phantom Forces though, just for fun

[frank pollen]

my exploiting acc is like rank 20

[hollow forum]

wow ya'll know alot about code 🙂

[frank pollen]

i never needed to use it, but it essentially works in every fps out there

[lost pebble]

and you can too

[thick wyvern]

hey where do yall learn lua?

[frank pollen]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/roblox-scripting-roadmap-learning-resource-list/808430

^ this is a pretty good guideline for what to learn when

[thick wyvern]

i see a lot of tutorials but i dont know which one covers more

[frank pollen]

Tutorials are horrible

[thick wyvern]

alr ty ill look into that

[frank pollen]

dont use them, its called tutorial hell for a reason

[olive ingot]

btw, if I make a line of code that Regens a variable at a fixed rate, do I need something to loop it indefinitely? and do I need something to trigger that loop or will the loop jsut activate itself?

[frank pollen]

if ur unsure about something, look up a video on that one specific aspect. not full tutorials how to make x

[hollow forum]

thx for the encouragement, im woking on a small project but like i can't get some icons and 3d models, and the map just looks bad, but its my first serious project

[frank pollen]

you dont need a map or models for development early on

[hollow forum]

yea nice advice

[frank pollen]

use place holders

[hollow forum]

ik

[thick wyvern]

haha yeah i dont really follow them most of the time im just looking for the words list

[hollow forum]

plus i keep getting distracted by roblox games, so i don't get time to develop

[frank pollen]

9000 lines of code and this is my map

[hollow forum]

my scripting is ameatuer too

[lost pebble]

tbh, most of what you learn is through experience and actually trying

[hollow forum]

dang

[hollow forum]

yea i get it

[lost pebble]

so that's good that you're making something

[frank pollen]

Visuals arent important, they are extra

[hollow forum]

yea

[lost pebble]

FR

[frank pollen]

A good framework with ugly visuals = good game.
A awful framework with gorgeous visuals = horrible game

[hollow forum]

true

ill try publish my game today, i have limited time tho, then ill get feedback! 🙂

[frank pollen]

Visuals is like maybe 10-20% of development. the other 80% is just scripting and Planning features.

[frank pollen]

Never do this

[thick wyvern]

a really good excuse to skip the excessive modelling is just to make the whole game 8-bit themed i managed to get away with those a lot in godot

[jaunty socket]

k

[frank pollen]

Never create a deadline for your self. things get done when they get done

[hollow forum]

wdym?

[frank pollen]

Dont create deadlines

[hollow forum]

oooooooooh rightttt

[frank pollen]

youll break them every time, and feel awful

[hollow forum]

mhm noted ✅

[jaunty socket]

doesnt need ss but here rbxassetid://135021800852257

[hollow forum]

yea true

i have 1 hr today 😭

[frank pollen]

How many Triple A games ahve pushed back launch dates?

[lost pebble]

no. inside the property window when testing

[frank pollen]

Their funding is million times yours. and still cant keep deadlines

[hollow forum]

triple a?

[frank pollen]

teams of thousands of people sometimes

[jaunty socket]

in the script?

[hollow forum]

many like als which i like playing

they used to update like every weekend

but they do it early monday

[lost pebble]

this thing

[frank pollen]

Triple A is like GTA, COD, etc...

games with hundrred million dollar budgets

If they cant meet a deadline, you dont need to.

[lost pebble]

games made by big companies are considered triple a games

[hollow forum]

oh i thought it was roblox games

[jaunty socket]

so i ss the sound id, correct?

[lost pebble]

yes

[hollow forum]

anyway

gtg

[frank pollen]

relax, have fun things get done as they get done. Me scripting a simple Ui to get its buttons work took over a day

[hollow forum]

ill come back!

[hollow forum]

ooh how long have you been scripting for?

[frank pollen]

almost 10 years

But this Ui is different..

[hollow forum]

me like 3-4 months

[olive ingot]

guys, does this look like it'll work?

I'm tyring to make it so I have to use a dodge charge in order to dash

[hollow forum]

thats a different aspect

[frank pollen]

It exists in the Workspace, but its client sided. so no local script or server script can interact with it

[lost pebble]

so it did change

[olive ingot]

oh wait I just realised, there's somehting I should fix

[lost pebble]

test it and try it out

[olive ingot]

making sure Charge doesn't go above 2

[jaunty socket]

i dont see any difference

[hoary cedar]

There's no concrete answer. What you do depends on what you're doing

[hollow forum]

🤯

[lost pebble]

this is the regular sound id

[olive ingot]

nope

charges jsut get ignored

"Us Saiyans have no limits!"

[lost pebble]

idk what to tell you other than it's other scripts are probably interfering with it

bc the script works fine for me

[olive ingot]

made a small change, still don't work. Why do you guys think it's ignoring the condition for there to be 1 or more charges

oh wiat

im dumb

I just realise,d I forgot to remove a charge each dash

💀

"YOu are my special"

ok the charges work

[jaunty socket]

maybe the ragdoll

[olive ingot]

but regen doesn't work

[lost pebble]

maybe. does it delete the hrp?

[olive ingot]

Will this code be running every 1 seconds or do I need to add somehting to make it run every 1 second?

[jaunty socket]

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if humanoid then
            local deathSound = Instance.new("Sound")
            deathSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://135021800852257"
            deathSound.Volume = 1
            deathSound.Parent = character -- Attach to the character

            humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
                deathSound:Play()
            end)
        end
    end)
end)

does this one work

[lost pebble]

the task.wait(1) will make it iterate (run through) every 1 second, yes. you dont need to change anything

[olive ingot]

alr

things still aren't regenerating tho..

hm. That implies the regeneration isn't infact working

[lost pebble]

looks like it. test it

[hybrid horizon]

where do i learn

[jaunty socket]

doesnt work

[lost pebble]

either yt or there's this: #code-discussion message

[azure granite]

local PartsIWant = workspace.PartsIWant
local LocalPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer

for _, part in PartsIWant:GetChildren() do
    task.spawn(function()
        while true do
            local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
            local Params = OverlapParams.new()
            Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
            Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Character}
            local HitBox = workspace:GetPartsInPart(part,Params) 
            if HitBox then
                LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.PopUps.Frame.Visible = true
            else
                LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.PopUps.Frame.Visible = false
            end
            task.wait()
        end
    end)
end

Would this be laggy if i have 50 parts doing this

[olive ingot]

guys

Will an if statement be retriggered after being previously triggered if the statement that it's for becomes true again?

[azure granite]

it will only trigger if the code runs on it and it meets requjirements

[hybrid horizon]

give me a up to date playlist from yt then

[lost pebble]

you could just use .Touched. it would probably be way faster

[lost pebble]

i've heard brawldev is a good one

[lost pebble]

🤷‍♂️. it has to be other scripts interfering with it

[olive ingot]

so do I need to run it inside an infinite loop block?

uh oh

wait, shit

i had a heart attack

I thought roblox went "Oh, an infinite loop? Imma kms)

[lost pebble]

well what are you trying to do?

[lost pebble]

it'll have a stroke, but if you end it, it'll be fine

[olive ingot]

that's enough blowing up my laptop for today

[lost pebble]

you arent changing infiniteLoop so the requirement is never met

[olive ingot]

I want to be able to make that main if statement constantly check for if dodgecharge is < 2

but it just seems to stop

[olive ingot]

exactly

so it's infinite no?

[lost pebble]

that's what you want?

[olive ingot]

yeah..?

so that code block keeps running

keep checking and regening

[lost pebble]

you could use```lua
while true do

end```

[olive ingot]

o

[hoary cedar]

This isn't an ideal approach

[olive ingot]

that looks good

[hoary cedar]

Any looping at all, really

[olive ingot]

:3

[azure granite]

nah i cant cause i have to track when players leave and i heard that using touch ended sucks

[lost pebble]

oh. if it's done on the client, it could hold up

[olive ingot]

uhhh

how do I format a while true do statement?

where do I put the statement that it's checking whether it's true ro not

[lost pebble]

true is the statement

[olive ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/math-calculate-confusing-figure-out-gif-6237717

[lost pebble]

since true is always true, it runs forever

[olive ingot]

oh damn

I may be stoopid

[lost pebble]

nah you're good

[olive ingot]

it doesn't work..?

[lost pebble]

wdym?

[olive ingot]

lemme check smth...

[hoary cedar]

There's a way to do this entirely out of math

Ideally, you wouldn't busy-wait

The next best solution is to use an IntValue

[olive ingot]

i think I fixed it..?

[hoary cedar]

Or to start threads to recover lost charges

Me personally, I would use math

But that is a lot less obvious

[olive ingot]

not work

:[ and idk if they game liked that

it scared me for a second

[lost pebble]

btw, if you wanted to use repeat for an infinite loop, you would do:```lua
repeat

until false```

[olive ingot]

idk if it likes the infinite loop or not

keeping doing "not responding"

[hybrid horizon]

what r u trying to scirpt

[olive ingot]

this is what it looks like now

[olive ingot]

A dash that uses charges that regen passively

[hybrid horizon]

just use math and a little chat ppt 👍🏿

[olive ingot]

e

[hoary cedar]

-- If there are no charges, check how much time has elapsed since the last recharge
if dashCharges == 0 then
    dashCharges = math.min(MAX_DASH_CHARGES, math.floor(time() - dashChargeTimestamp))
end

-- Still no charges.
if dashCharges == 0 then
    return
end

-- A charge was awarded or used
dashChargeTimestamp = time()
dashCharges -= 1

-- Do dash

Basically

[olive ingot]

o

[azure granite]

whats a good way to make a localscript check if a player is inside the blue zone? and it needs to also know if the player is not in the blue zone

[olive ingot]

comments, i kinda forget about those

they seem real useful

[hoary cedar]

Actually, this is flawed

[olive ingot]

do I copy paste this or..? idrk what to do with this @_@

[hoary cedar]

Ignore it

[olive ingot]

wild

[hoary cedar]

Use an IntValue

That's the most convenient method

[olive ingot]

what's the problem with mine?

[olive ingot]

what dat

o

integer

💀

[hoary cedar]

Not even

I would use threads

[olive ingot]

que

[hoary cedar]

Busy-waiting might be simpler for you though

I'm probably overengineering this

Yeah

[olive ingot]

Sooo

uh

what do I change here..?

[hoary cedar]

I can definitely do it with threads, but making it elegant is where it becomes overkill

[hoary cedar]

You can't have that loop before the event

[olive ingot]

idk what threads are

[hoary cedar]

Do you know what a loop does?

[olive ingot]

uhhh

oh.

it interrupts?

[frank pollen]

whats he trying to do Ziffix?

[hoary cedar]

It loops...

Code is read from top -> bottom, left -> right

[frank pollen]

Zereal so since your new, for good practize never use While True Do

[olive ingot]

and...

[frank pollen]

If you need While True Do at ur current level, find another solution trust me

[olive ingot]

square fucking one. It won't regen still

[frank pollen]

Zereal explain to me what your trying to do

ill write up some quick Pseudo code

[hoary cedar]

Loops interrupt the continuation of scripts by hijacking its normal flow to return code execution to the top of the loop

Essentially freezing a part of code in a time loop

Code execution will never go beyond that loop

[olive ingot]

Just trying to dash.

Every dash costs a charge (2 at max) and they regen 1 charge every 3 seconds

[frank pollen]

and if used improperly, youll crash everyone in your game

alright gimme a moment to think

[olive ingot]

I want the regen to loop in the background whenever my charges aren't maxed

[hoary cedar]

It always will be

That's the consequence of busy-waiting

[olive ingot]

aight

[frank pollen]

okay zereal got smtn gimme a moment

[hoary cedar]

Your thread will constantly occupy unnecessary execution time

[olive ingot]

ty

[hoary cedar]

Hm. Wait

I might have something good

[olive ingot]

Who figured listneing to Jpop makes coding feel less painful

[frank pollen]

For your regen youll do something similar to this :

local dashCounter = 3

while dashCounter < 3 then
    dashCounter = dashCounter + 1
    wait(3)
end

[merry karma]

https://scriptbin.xyz/ivetopamuf.lua why do bricks get stuck in air

[frank pollen]

Zereal do you understand funcftions and how to write custom ones?

[olive ingot]

well uh, this is what i got rn
while true do
if dodgeCharge < 2 then

    dodgeCharge = dodgeCharge + dodgeChargeRegenRate
    if dodgeCharge > 2 then
        dodgeCharge = 2
    end
    task.wait(3)
end

end

[frank pollen]

Since we will put all of your Regen into a RegenFunction, then call it when ever you use a Charge

[olive ingot]

not really

[frank pollen]

Alright so Functions, run a block of code

you see your

 if dodgeCharge > 2 then
    dodgeCharge = 2
end

This is one block of code

With a function we can Run a single block of code from anywhere, just by calling its name

(as long as its inside the same script)

[olive ingot]

ohh

I think I understand..?

[frank pollen]

local dashCounter = 3

local function dashRecharge()
    while dashCounter < 3 then
        dashCounter = dashCounter + 1
        task.wait(3)
    end
end

dashRecharge()

[olive ingot]

SO I make a new script that's under this one

with it?

[frank pollen]

So that last line, calls the function

any where we use DashRecharge, now runs that function

So to simplify this and MultiThread to not create a bottle neck

we will use Task.Spawn()

[hoary cedar]

local MAX_DASH_CHARGES   = 2
local DASH_RECHARGE_RATE = 3 

local dashCharges = MAX_DASH_CHARGES
local dashRechargeThread = nil 

local function tryRechargeDashes()
    while true do
        task.wait(DASH_RECHARGE_RATE)
      
        if dashCharges < MAX_DASH_CHARGES then
            dashCharges += 1
        else
            break
        end
    end

    dashRechargeThread = nil
end

if not dashRechargeThread then
    dashRechargeThread = task.spawn(tryRechargeDashes)
end

if dashCharges > 0 then
    dashCharges -= 1
else
    return
end

-- Do dash

[frank pollen]

(Dont worry about what this does)

[hoary cedar]

✨

[frank pollen]

Ziff got it

Look into Functions a bit and practice with those

they are a crucial foundation piece

[olive ingot]

I can't really understand it 😭

[frank pollen]

you cant make anything with out it

[craggy niche]

can you use modules from module scripts in local scripts or is it only server

[frank pollen]

yes u can use modules anywhere

[craggy niche]

oo bet

[frank pollen]

Except for ReplicatedStorage...

and ServerStorage

Code does not run in those 2

(i might be wrong with this)

[craggy niche]

yeah alr thanks

[frank pollen]

Remember that recharge function i mentioned

[olive ingot]

yeah

[hoary cedar]

The code in modules will execute in those containers since they're required by scripts outside of those containers

[frank pollen]

His last code block is basically running that, as a spawned Task

[frank pollen]

Ohh alr

OH YEAH im tossing my EventListeners inside there

then crying it dont work lmao

but they are just serverScripts

[olive ingot]

ok so... how do I make and use a function..?

[jade cosmos]

guys whats a bindable event

[frank pollen]

Remote Event, but Server to Server or Client to Client

[frank pollen]

one sec

[jade cosmos]

ohhh ok ok

[olive ingot]

alr

[frank pollen]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/roblox-scripting-roadmap-learning-resource-list/808430

Basic, Chapter 3

With out the basics you wont be able to script anything

Functions are blocks of code that you can execute multiple times on command. You can also connect them to events or assign them as callbacks.

local a = 5
local b = 11

local function addstuff()
local total = a + B
print(total)
end

addstuff()

this takes a and b adds them to total, then prints it

anytime you call the function name, it will run what ever code is inside that block

[olive ingot]

alr

[frank pollen]

Focus on Basif Functions, Return and thats all

Methods, Callback, Event handlers, anon functions are above your level rn

Not important for you atm, youll learn it when you need it

Focusing on code you cant understand yet will only waste ur time

Once you get the all of basics down, then come back to fill in the blanks of your knowledge

(i still dont understand Self) ive never actually used it.

[frank pollen]

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

this is a big one

Until you understand Task.Spawn, Never use while true do.

Think of another alternative.

Most of the time a function will work in replace of a Inf Loop

or RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(Function())

will work instead of While true do

[olive ingot]

how does this one work?

[frank pollen]

RunService is basically the games internal clock

*the game engines

Render Stepped runs every single frame

So every frame, The function attached runs.

[celest thorn]

RenderStepped being deprecated

[olive ingot]

oh sick

[frank pollen]

Its like While True Do for a loop, except its not halting any code

[olive ingot]

btw, how does a function decide what's part of the function?

like what code is executed when the function is

[frank pollen]

local function ThisIsAFunction()

end

[hoary cedar]

Every time you dash, it checks if a recovery operation is active. There always should be one when you dash as your dash charges will never be full. If one is not currently active, it will start one. The process does not impede the flow of code execution as the operation starts in a new thread. When the recovery operation is over, it will not continue awaiting to recharge the dashes. The dash charge is removed and the dash proceeds, otherwise the dash doesn't continue because no charges are available

[frank pollen]

Everything between the () and "end" is inside the function

[olive ingot]

set

[jade cosmos]

i see a lot of people using self in tables/metatables but i have no clue what its for

[olive ingot]

where do I put the name of my function?

[frank pollen]

^ same i usetables all the time, but never needed self

[frank pollen]

local function "name goes here"()

[hoary cedar]

It's used in the emulation of OOP

[frank pollen]

^ i fr cant understand oop

[olive ingot]

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(Function())

In this one ^

where would I put my function

[jade cosmos]

so like work on a class without needing the class all the time or

[frank pollen]

Replace Function() with your function name

[frozen swift]

Script

[olive ingot]

sweet

[frank pollen]

For now dont worry about RenderStepped

Focus on learning basic functions for now

when you start abusing renderStepped

youll lag your game

[olive ingot]

o

[frank pollen]

if it MUST be a inf loop, for your case, use render stepped. if it doesnt have to be, dont use a inf loop

[olive ingot]

well uh

idk how else to handle it

[frank pollen]

Everything attached to RenderStepped runs every single frame

[frozen swift]

Whos darequk and why is he typing so long

[celest thorn]

Im trying to figure smth out

[frank pollen]

(also someone here just asid RenderStepped is being Depricated i gotta check the replacement)

[frank pollen]

youll use an inf loop just this once

[celest thorn]

Idk how to word it

[frank pollen]

like how Ziffix wrote it for you

Just know inf loops are very dangerous if you arent aware what your doing

[olive ingot]

this is what I made but it ain't working

[olive ingot]

fair

[celest thorn]

Also renderstepped cant be used serverside

[olive ingot]

Infinity is a big number after all

[frank pollen]

oh i didnt know this

[celest thorn]

Only heartbeat

For server

[frank pollen]

OHhhh alr makes sense

i use them interchangably naturally

[olive ingot]

what about other cooldowns..?

[frank pollen]

Take a pause in development

[olive ingot]

and waht if I choose to repalce this system at a later date, it won't affect me badly will it?

[frank pollen]

Learn Functions

and Loops

[olive ingot]

fair

[frank pollen]

you cant make anything with out those

https://create.roblox.com/docs/luau/functions

This is all you need

[olive ingot]

Is there a way to make something trigger instantly when a condition is met without having to check constantly?

[frank pollen]

Dont worry about Methods and anything after

[frank pollen]

RenderStepped, and have it check constantly

but this isnt efficient

[celest thorn]

Depends on the condition

[olive ingot]

is there really no other way???

[frank pollen]

Manually trigger the stuff when you need it to run

When do you need your dash to recharge?

[celest thorn]

Like if a property changes u Can do object.changed:connect(function(property)

[frank pollen]

^TYSM i swore you could do this

[olive ingot]

when the charge count is below it's max

[frank pollen]

but i forgot how

[frank pollen]

What causes it to go below max?

[olive ingot]

using a dash

[frank pollen]

When you use a dash, Start your recharge function.

Boom, done.

[olive ingot]

ooo

[frank pollen]

your dash, is your trigger

[olive ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-clapping-bad-quality-gif-4774008504744238454

[frank pollen]

You dont need it checking 24/7 only when you use it

[olive ingot]

wait....

ok but

since it has a wait of 3 seconds to regen

what if it just...

got overlapped with another dash use

but it's on wait, so it can't be used again

[frank pollen]

thats why we use Task.Spawn()

so it runs along side its normal use

[olive ingot]

wha

wait I got an idea maybe

I could use

[frank pollen]

Dont worry about Task its multi threading

[olive ingot]

a for loop

[azure granite]

any thoughts on code that looks like this

[olive ingot]

so it does a little bit each time maybe

? but i think the problem si still there

idk

[frank pollen]

Zereal gimme 10min to get music ill write smtn

Dm me your screenshots

[olive ingot]

alr

[frank pollen]

(my dms arent open for free bug fixing pls dont send me random stuff) i have literally 100+ dms of ppl asking me to bugfix

lmk when u send it

[olive ingot]

that's fair

[olive ingot]

alr

sent

[frank pollen]

it gets annoying, in Roblox Developers i help with bug fixing all the time, for longer stuff i do it in dms

[olive ingot]

after this.. I'll need to make a sprint thing too

which should be easy

I just need to make it so you will sprint if you are in sprint state, which activates in combat or after a dash.

The question is how I'd go about removing the sprinting state after stopping moving

It'd probs just be a sprint function, which can get cleared after all of the movement keys are stoopped being pressed

[jade cosmos]

guys sometimes my character is not even in the part and it detects it , any fixes to make it more precise?

[frank pollen]

@hoary cedar do you think this is simplified enough to be easy to understand?

local dodgeCharges = 2
local DodgeCoolDownTimer = 3
local isRecharging = false

local function startRecharging()
    if isRecharging == false then
        while dodgeCharges < 2 do
            dodgeCharges = dodgeCharges + 1
            task.wait(DodgeCoolDownTimer)
        end
    else
        return
    end
end

task.spawn(startRecharging)

I tried to keep it simple with out overBuilding it

[hoary cedar]

In terms of code, no, but in terms of intuitive readability, yes

[frank pollen]

looking at it i think i might've compressed it too much

[spice badge]

i need an scripter to help me with my game

[frank pollen]

check out the hiring channels

[jade cosmos]

@frank pollen

[stiff cave]

how do i make scripting spawn in my head

[lost pebble]

you can make it spawn in your character by putting it in StarterCharacterScripts

[merry karma]

why does it not collapse on me??

[stiff cave]

aight bet

[lost pebble]

Try checking if they’re sleeping by opening up the menu with the little gear symbol with the eye in the top right corner of the viewport and checking “Awake parts”. Any part not outlined in red is sleeping.

[thin nova]

python don’t require semicolons 💀 💀 💀

[lost pebble]

But ngl, that’s a fair point

[shy cipher]

guyz I'm making a custom admin and so far have crammed everything into one script because I don't want to deal with modules. it's still small enough to be reworkable, so should I turn back?

[heady wyvern]

i dont knwo if theres anymore precise methods

that wouldnt take hella ressources

[jade cosmos]

ig its better to use another hidden part for precision at that point

[heady wyvern]

how big is the part ur casting

[frank pollen]

lemme read rq

[jade cosmos]

not that big, size 10,10,10

[frank pollen]

it will detect even .001 studs of the player

[jade cosmos]

wowww ok

[heady wyvern]

ye what i as thinking

[frank pollen]

you might not see it

[heady wyvern]

like a single pixel

[frank pollen]

but .001 studs is enough to trigger it

how far away are you when it detects?

you could specify it to wait for your Torso

Shapecast is perfectly precise

same with get parts in bounds

[jade cosmos]

thats the part pretty much, between the character

[frank pollen]

OH??

remove the clothing item

the dragon/serpent

and test again

i doubt this is the cause, but idk how UGC effects hitboxes

[jade cosmos]

its the damn dragon bruh

fixed now lol

[frank pollen]

might have invisible Parts or Topology

alr glad its working

[jade cosmos]

that is crazy precise man

[frank pollen]

theres a good chance the invisible topology extended far beyond the dragon

[jade cosmos]

so its better to just check for torso right, or use another hidden part inside it

[frank pollen]

only takes 1 plane

[frank pollen]

if you want less precision

you can specify a body part

like torso

because the knees and head extend beyond the torso

[jade cosmos]

aight

thanks for the help

[frank pollen]

if ur not doing hit detection for combat

it doesnt matter

Np

[craggy niche]

can i change a variable that is in a module script from another script where i have required it? like can i require it in a local script and then change the value of that module script variable from the local script

[jade cosmos]

yep

[craggy niche]

ty

[rotund igloo]

guys

how to add scripting role

[hollow forum]

english 😭

[craggy niche]

changing module script variables from a local script

[hollow forum]

unless the variable is the ( module.[variablename] ) or whatever the name of the table at the start of the module is

[hollow forum]

like i can do module.yes = true

then in local script, you can do

local module3 = require(modulename)

then do module3.yes = false

[golden yoke]

this is really useful script to have in game, cleaning up trash for perfomance

[frank pollen]

this is a literal headache

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local UI_Transfer = replicatedStorage.Remotes.UI_Transfer

local Ui

local function CheckForUiUpdate()
    while Ui do
        print("test")
        local mainFrame = Ui.SelectionUi.MainFrame
        local title = mainFrame.Title.Text
        local interactionHolder = mainFrame.InteractionHolder
        local copyButton = interactionHolder.CopyButton
        local moveButton = interactionHolder.MoveButton
        local sellButton = interactionHolder.SellButton
        local withdrawalButton = interactionHolder.WithdrawalButton

        if title and copyButton and moveButton and sellButton and withdrawalButton then
            copyButton.Activated:Connect(function()
                print("Copy button clicked!")
            end)
        else
            print("Missing UI elements")
        end
        task.wait(0.1) 
    end
end

UI_Transfer.Event:Connect(function(SentUi)
    Ui = SentUi
    print("UI transferred to client: " .. Ui.Name)
    task.spawn(CheckForUiUpdate) 
end)

lmao got 0 clue so imma take a break

[tame dagger]

Please where i can learn full lua?

[lean ocean]

Yea u made it look like a headache too

[frank pollen]

ik just trying things to see if it will work 😭

[surreal scarab]

guys do you guys know how to make a countdown script that counts down every second down from 10M and stops when no players are playing, but also make gamepasses for minus seconds and the end of an obby takes certain seconds off it

[hollow forum]

🤯

[frank pollen]

CheckForUiUpdate() is literally a Int Main Virtual-Enviroment

[lean ocean]

Your name is kodycodes idk

U should know

[surreal scarab]

nope, just had the name lol

[lean ocean]

[hollow forum]

what?!, similar to wait for 1 year RIGHT?!

[surreal scarab]

never heard of that lol

well most likely anyway

[hollow forum]

yea search it up

but do

lua

[surreal scarab]

no not like this

its like wait 1 million seconds

[hollow forum]

mk

local seconds = 1,000,000

while true do
seconds = seconds - 1
task.wait(1)
end

idk how to make the text to lua

[surreal scarab]

but with 10M

why do lua?

[hollow forum]

local seconds = 10000000

while true do
seconds = seconds - 1
task.wait(1)
end

[surreal scarab]

local seconds = 10000000

while true do
seconds = seconds - 1
task.wait(1)
end

[viscid canopy]

local seconds = 1,000,000

while true do
     seconds = seconds - 1
     task.wait(1)
end

[surreal scarab]

this is my first game

[hollow forum]

how?

[hollow forum]

thx

[frank pollen]

you could create a global data store, to store the timer.

[surreal scarab]

so is that all i do

[frank pollen]

and use Global Messaging service to connect every server

[surreal scarab]

im new so im not really sure what you talkin about lol

[viscid canopy]

^

[surreal scarab]

under screengui?

[lean ocean]

then get better first

[frank pollen]

no, on roblox Docs look up Global Messaging service

it bascially lets Server A talk to Server B

[lean ocean]

y you trying to make something that u can't cause you aren't good enough

[frank pollen]

its normally used for global chat

[surreal scarab]

but a countdown in the middle

[frank pollen]

its not a super complicated idea, its just more complicated than he realized

What your idea requires is a a Data store, to store the Timer value

[left crypt]

local Players = game:GetService("Players)

while #Players ~= 0 do
    for i = 1, 10000000 do
      wait(1)
      print(i)
    end
end

[frank pollen]

^ roblox server will force shut down LONG before this lmao

[surreal scarab]

i copied it now what?

[hollow forum]

u wanna make this?

[frank pollen]

The code wont work for you

[viscid canopy]

why would u need this

[left crypt]

?

[surreal scarab]

yeah

[frank pollen]

Kody, https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/MessagingService

[viscid canopy]

if theres 0 players then the code wont even be running

[hollow forum]

mk kinda complicated ngl

[surreal scarab]

yeah

[frank pollen]

what you want to di is not as easy as you imagine

[surreal scarab]

exactly

[left crypt]

read his message thats what he wants

[viscid canopy]

what happens to a server when theres 0 players

[hollow forum]

and there is no way to check that lol

[frank pollen]

Server ends, counter restarts

So he needs a data store

[left crypt]

server ends, if there is no client connected

[frank pollen]

a Global Data store that just holds the Counter value

[surreal scarab]

where do i find that

[frank pollen]

um... imma be honest

no one just has one

its one of those things that no one "needs" so on one really "has" one

That alone will be the hard part, either Customize an Existing data store library, or create your own

maybe if you store the data with a General key, instead of playerId, you can simulate it easily

[lean ocean]

I'm pretty sure he has 0 scripting knowledge

👽

[surreal scarab]

exxxxactly

[frank pollen]

Its not something a beginner can make

ill show you what youll need to recreate basically

lemme get my data store

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")


local ProfileStore = require(ServerScriptService.Libraries.ProfileStore)

local function GetStoreName()
    return RunService:IsStudio() and "Test" or "Live"
end

local Template = require(ServerScriptService.Data.DataTemplate)
local DataManager = require(ServerScriptService.Data.DataManager)


local PlayerStore = ProfileStore.New(GetStoreName(), Template)


local function Initialize(player, profile)

end



local function PlayerAdded(player)
    print("Attempting to start session for player:", player.UserId)


    local profile = PlayerStore:StartSessionAsync("Player_" .. player.UserId, {
        Cancel = function()
            return player.Parent ~= Players
        end,
    })

    if profile == nil then
        print("Failed to create profile for player: ".. tostring(player.UserId))
        player:Kick("Data error occurred. Please rejoin.")
        return
    end

    --print("Profile created for player:", player.UserId)
    profile:AddUserId(player.UserId) 
    profile:Reconcile()

    
    profile.OnSessionEnd:Connect(function()
        DataManager.Profiles[player] = nil
        player:Kick("Data error occurred. Please rejoin.")
    end)

    
    if player.Parent == Players then
        DataManager.Profiles[player] = profile
        Initialize(player, profile)
    else
        profile:EndSession()
    end
end



for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
    task.spawn(PlayerAdded, player)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    local profile = DataManager.Profiles[player]
    if not profile then return end
    profile:EndSession()
    DataManager.Profiles[player] = nil
end)

youll basically re-write this but everything that says "player :getPlayers()" is removed

[surreal scarab]

wym re-write

[frank pollen]

Dont even attempt a custom data store, its.... a nightmare, im afraid to even attempt it

[surreal scarab]

chat gpt

[frank pollen]

What your asking for is super niche, idk if gpt can help but it might

[surreal scarab]

so what do i re-write

[frank pollen]

Whole thing

[surreal scarab]

bruh so it basically dont help me

?

[lean ocean]

bro u need scripting knowledge

[frank pollen]

What i imagine is youll remove the PlayerStore:StartSessionAsync("Player_" .. player.UserId, {

and set your key with a general Server Key

[lean ocean]

you won't accomplish much without any scripting knowledge

[frank pollen]

I was showing you an example of a data store for what youd need to customize

[surreal scarab]

yea nvm

lol

[frank pollen]

This is the EASY part

[viscid canopy]

noone here is gonna script for u vro u gotta learn to

😭

[surreal scarab]

no i know

im asking tho

[frank pollen]

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

^ this is the hard part

[surreal scarab]

oof

how about i just stick to the wait for a year one

yk

its your own timer

[frank pollen]

Servers automatically shut down after around 30-40 hours

if that server ever closes, your counter resets

[surreal scarab]

even if its your own countdown?

[frank pollen]

Yep

you need to save the countdown progress

so it can continue after servers shut down

Roblox servers automatically shut down after a while, even if players are inside it

its not going to last 10 million seconds since thats 4 months

You wont even last 1 week

Learn scripting first, then tackle it

or pay a scripter to write a custom data store + messaging service for you

this task is probably above my level would take me a few weeks tbh

[surreal scarab]

wow

[frank pollen]

its lots of stuff ive never done before

I know what it would require, but how to do it exactly i have 0 clue.

Writing a Global Data store, that stores Data globally for all servers, but doesnt overwrite its self endlessly???

Then learning messaging service

[frank pollen]

I cant even begin to think about how this would work, every server would need to be in Sync

Unless your not doing it for the whole server but each individual player

then that becomes super easy

[fringe barn]

Rabbtofficial

[surreal scarab]

guys

if i shut my computer off

will my friend still be able to edit and make the server?

the game*

[fringe barn]

When your team creating? Yes

[surreal scarab]

ohkk

[fringe barn]

Not sure if they can publish it

[surreal scarab]

wait

[fringe barn]

But they can still edit it

[sonic burrow]

Is there a way to make my combat systems feel smoother? i am using raycasting

[surreal scarab]

do i have to save my world before we both turn our pc off?

or no

[fringe barn]

It should automatically save

[surreal scarab]

oh ok

[frank pollen]

whats up

[frank pollen]

save it just incase

[fringe barn]

Nun

[frank pollen]

so you have a local save too

[surreal scarab]

yea i did

[frank pollen]

i asked copilot

Yeah definately a custom system that very few people have ever attempted

[surreal scarab]

the game called

wait for 1 million seconds

[frank pollen]

Normal data store = easy, but global.... thats like very difficult

[surreal scarab]

thats his first game ever made

and he does it

[frank pollen]

on this account

[surreal scarab]

somehow

[frank pollen]

it could easily be an alt dev account

[surreal scarab]

i know him

its his main

[frank pollen]

Then ask him how he handled the Messaging service and global data store

[surreal scarab]

kk

im going bed anyway

night

[frank pollen]

gnite, he would hae the best answer

[fringe barn]

“Ok” “im going to bed” 💔

[surreal scarab]

appreciate the help

[frank pollen]

...

he did it horribly

imma screenshot

nvm btu basically there is 300 seconds worth of desync

wait what 😭 idk im seeing it twitch between numbers +-1 or +-200

@surreal scarab i have a way to make it easily

like elementrary easy, but you cant manipulate it like the other one

Create os.time() of the start day, then do os.time for 10 million seconds from now

then slowly tick this down

[wet zealot]

whats the best way to make a ragdoll?

[frank pollen]

Its 100% in sync for every server

[wet zealot]

[craggy niche]

can someone help me make a blocking system in my game? i can’t work out how to take 0 damage when blocking

[weak radish]

Can't you just add a forcefield or just code shield into the damaging systems

[craggy niche]

dunno

[frank pollen]

Iframes Invincible = true

if invincible == false then

take damage stuff here

[craggy niche]

i don’t have “take damage” tho, i have deal damage that’s the problem

[frank pollen]

yeah it wont be called take damage

add a conditional to check if they are invincible

[craggy niche]

i tried to make attribute when blocking and then make code checking if enemy has attribute, then don’t deal dmg

[craggy niche]

i have code that deals dmg to enemy, not code that takes dmg when hit

[craggy niche]

but that didn’t work

[frank pollen]

have the one check if the enemy is invincible

[craggy niche]

how do i make them invincible

and how do i check

[frank pollen]

create a state handler and store it in a table on the server

[nimble dawn]

I'd recommend turning the volumes down 🩸 👂

[candid kestrel]

soulslike openworld, nun too crazy basically just a passion project

[candid kestrel]

thats just bc i have my headphones really low and my game volume really high

[nimble dawn]

💔

[candid kestrel]

added animation evvents so the hits are timed better

[nimble dawn]

Hey since code help is helpless could you help me rq 🥺

[candid kestrel]

depends on what u need

[nimble dawn]

I think it's simple

I'm trying to make a two way door

I did the one way but I can't figure out how to tell the game which side of the door I'm on

[candid kestrel]

well, how do u have the door activate

[nimble dawn]

Hitbox

Big ole transparent box

[candid kestrel]

well, just add 2 hitboxes then, one on each side

name them seperate things

and if getpartsinpart

do diff things for diff hitbox

[thorn helm]

yo, im super new to coding and if anyone could give me some basic tips, that would be great. I'm trying to work on a horror game and I need like some idea with maybe a hiding system. I haven't made the monster models yet, but im planning to. any tips?

[nimble dawn]

Hm

Never thought ab that

ty

[candid kestrel]

ofc

[left crypt]

@candid kestrel u working alone on that one?

[candid kestrel]

my advice is dont start with the dream project, start with something simpler, like making a tycoon from scratch, the easiest way to code is by coding, and when u get lost look up stuff on the dev forum, or the wiki, dont follow yt how to tutorials as it just teaches u to copy, not learn

[candid kestrel]

mostly, i have some help but most of the time i have to go over it myself

[thorn helm]

i got a kindle book, it explains stuff well, im js dumb 😭

[candid kestrel]

but i do all the building, ui, modelling, etc

[candid kestrel]

then it isn't explaining it well, in depth and well arent the same

[thorn helm]

no its simple, i js dont understand coding 😭

[candid kestrel]

think of it like your learning a new language, literally

because thats what it is

[nimble dawn]

I started learning using youtube tutorials

[candid kestrel]

think of how to learn basics in a language, you learn the basic words first (variables, prints, etc) then you learn how to connect them (functions, tables, etc)

[nimble dawn]

I've been learning for like a week if I cut out all the time I spent not learning

[thorn helm]

i understand basic functions, variiables, and prints. thatsp retty much it

om this keyboard so sticky

[candid kestrel]

now you need to learn how to use those basics, by putting them together in functions

or other things

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n07w-eabLMw&t=1904s&ab_channel=CodeCoach I've been using this so far

[candid kestrel]
