[foggy burrow]

it doesnt matter

if its collideable

then something is wrong with your anims bro 😭

[ripe oyster]

no

maybe since its a blender anim

[foggy burrow]

No game disables head collisions or torso collisions for animations dawg

so

I would check out your animation

cause I dont think that there is any way to get rid of torso/head collisions effectivly because Roblox constantly updated the property

and if your just doing that for anims then fix your animation because your anim is wrong

[tropic plume]

@ruby cipher just reacting to everything 😭

lol

[potent igloo]

Yeah but then the client would have to wait for the server response before playing the vfx

[foggy burrow]

no

well yeah

[potent igloo]

Which ruins the point of a client hitbox

[foggy burrow]

but bro thats gonna be instant

[potent igloo]

Its not

[foggy burrow]

Well you can do it on the client

or on the server

but client hitboxes are much more performant

[potent igloo]

For ppl that play above 100ms ping will notice it

[foggy burrow]

Nah 300 ping

unless your game is not performant at all

[foggy burrow]

slide show

[potent igloo]

My idea was to play the effect and animations regardless if it hit on the server or not, then the server would respond the true hit and the client would remove the vfx and anims if the server didnt register the hit

[foggy burrow]

yeah smthn is up with your anim

I would look into it]

[ripe oyster]

odd

[foggy burrow]

i aint a animator

[potent igloo]

Which would feel really good when hitting but very inconsistent when not hitting

[foggy burrow]

but it aint roblox

[foggy burrow]

ehhhhhhhhh

like

do you mean the server would display the true vfx and stuff

after it truly hit

[potent igloo]

No

The client will display the vfx and animations regardless of server hit

If the server doesnt hit, the client will rollback

[foggy burrow]

I mean

Sure ig

but thats still gonna be noticable

noticeable

fuck i cant spell

anyway

the client server client is probs the best way to do it

thats how I do my block vfx

and its pretty good

Client lag

will cause the vfx to take longer to roll back if the hit aint valid

[solid fulcrum]

quick question, whats the point of writing 1, 100000 if ill just have a break statement at 200? why not just write 1, 200

[foggy burrow]

bro is this a real question

[solid fulcrum]

srry bro i just started scripting

[foggy burrow]

well you anwered your question in your question

no theres no point

if it ends at 200

plus

get rid of the continue

the loop is gonna continue anyway

[solid fulcrum]

the screenshots from a video teaching me about break 💔

but i see

[foggy burrow]

well if its teaching you about break

[solid fulcrum]

so whats the purpose of break then..

i guess its rendered useless

[foggy burrow]

then yeah makes sense why they wuld set it up like that

[solid fulcrum]

yeahh

[foggy burrow]

well in this instance they are just showing you how it works

by saying

your looping 100000 times

but at the 200th youll stop

[solid fulcrum]

by breaking

[foggy burrow]

and you do that with break

yeah

[solid fulcrum]

yeah

alright fire thx

[foggy burrow]

they are just showing you how it works'

[solid fulcrum]

id just wanna knwo what other use break has

other than this situation

[foggy burrow]

well it has many

break doesnt just work in for loops

while loops too

lets say your looping through smthn

while points > 100 do

and then mid way through the loop points is less than 100

you would want the loop to end

[solid fulcrum]

ohhhh

thats a good way to put iot

it

[foggy burrow]

or

while points > 100 do
      task.wait(1)
      print("so many points!")
   
     if points < 100 then break end
end

[hasty mesa]

guess they just want to showcase it

[foggy burrow]

yeah

[hasty mesa]

but yeah i =1,200 does the same thing

[solid fulcrum]

yeah

[foggy burrow]

type

[solid fulcrum]

alright nice

[foggy burrow]

yes yes

[solid fulcrum]

im learning basics of scripting but ill need to incorporate it into game dev

idk how to put it

[foggy burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/playboi-carti-opium-peace-gif-26863938

[foggy burrow]

yeah

just take your time

[solid fulcrum]

yup ty

[foggy burrow]

but think stuff through

[solid fulcrum]

btw howd you learn scripting

[foggy burrow]

no question is dumb

[solid fulcrum]

if you dont mind me asking

[foggy burrow]

even if i say it is

[foggy burrow]

2 years

of practice and self taught

[solid fulcrum]

self taught 😭

[foggy burrow]

just practice

but

[solid fulcrum]

mustve been hell

[foggy burrow]

nah not really

I enjoy it so

I had fun

[solid fulcrum]

all that matters

🙏

[foggy burrow]

just dont stick on tutorials bro

[solid fulcrum]

i am 🥲

[foggy burrow]

tutorial hell aint where you wanna be

read documentation

[solid fulcrum]

i got this playlist that goes through all beginner then advanced terms on another playlist

[foggy burrow]

I used to watch a shit ton of tutorials

[solid fulcrum]

then after that ill basically be out of the shell and i think ill just

practice on my own

[foggy burrow]

aye valid

[solid fulcrum]

scrolling on devforums for hours on end

[foggy burrow]

yeah

thats whay I do

[solid fulcrum]

documentation?

[foggy burrow]

yeah

[solid fulcrum]

so like scripts created by other people in lua

[foggy burrow]

roblox docs

[solid fulcrum]

ohh right

[foggy burrow]

nooo

roblox docs

[solid fulcrum]

i do not use that bro

[foggy burrow]

lol

its hard to use, i just started but I still aint very good

dev forum is where I usally go

but dont just use the answer really try to understnad why it works that way yk

[solid fulcrum]

im sticking with this one tutorial using a whole empty notebook for it

so far got like 30 pages in

i write lines of script in the notebook itself and annotate each line

all that but i still dont know what an index _, is 😭

its like an unknown variable right

like similar to nil..

i just cant think of a situation to use it in or wherre it would be beneficial

[foggy burrow]

Aye man

[bold prairie]

Not the best scripter myself but you use _, when the index is not necessary I believe

[foggy burrow]

i gotcha if you need help

just dm me

[foggy burrow]

yes correct

[bold prairie]

And index is basically the key or ‘name’ for a table value?

Maybe not name but it’s position

[solid fulcrum]

i see

broo honestly after i finish these basics idek where to start

or the slightest idea of how i can combine like how ive been learning "math" or "operators" etc into game development script

[bold prairie]

I just finished the basics, you got this i believe in u

[bold prairie]

That is great, keep up the work

[foggy burrow]

yeah

[solid fulcrum]

thx bro u too

[bold prairie]

Are you watching a tutorial?

[solid fulcrum]

yup i can put u on

he explains stuff quite well

[hardy needle]

using topbar plus how can i make one of the buttons fuction to do something like "autosprint"

[wise meadow]

Guys, I literally just made Crates and Keys through code rather than using images and its soo coool

[bold prairie]

I’m good, thanks though. I got a book and watching BrawlDev now and then

[solid fulcrum]

oh im also watching brawldev 😭

[bold prairie]

Haha how far are you?

[solid fulcrum]

i just need to finish his beginner tutorial playlist then ill move onto the advanced

uhh rn im on

[vagrant shoal]

Bro just get an IDE and compiler its free and takes 2 seconds 🥀🥀

[solid fulcrum]

wth is that

[vagrant shoal]

Integrated development environment

Like visual studio code

[solid fulcrum]

ide

i see,m how do i start that..

and that teaches me how to script quick and fast you imply

[bold prairie]

Ah I’ve just started on Advanced

[solid fulcrum]

firee

[vagrant shoal]

No it just makes the learning process more convenient

[solid fulcrum]

how well would tyou say you know lua

[vagrant shoal]

For any programming language

[solid fulcrum]

i see

[vagrant shoal]

But why not just use Roblox studio

?

[bold prairie]

Yeah get the basics down, everything will be easier then.

[solid fulcrum]

i do

i take notes on my notebook then i use roblox studio

[vagrant shoal]

Oh

[solid fulcrum]

taking notes is proven to be more efficient for remembering. plus if i forget i can just go back to my notes

[solid fulcrum]

btw this ide thing how do you start it

[vagrant shoal]

Alright that’s a good strat

[solid fulcrum]

is it like a wesbite..

[bold prairie]

Do you script alongside the tutorials, or do the homework BrawlDev gives you?

[vagrant shoal]

Just download visual studio code or another good/popular ide

And then install a compiler

There’s helpful videos on YouTube

[wise meadow]

Still working on the UI

[solid fulcrum]

ill go check it out

[wise meadow]

And scaling

So keep that in mind

But, this is fire

[vagrant shoal]

But you don’t need it if you don’t plan to learn other languages

[solid fulcrum]

nah im only on lua dw

[bold prairie]

Looks nice, with some more color variation it will be great

[wise meadow]

Ignore my hilarious coloring btw

[wise meadow]

I agree

[solid fulcrum]

honestly, as a graphic designer the buttons look like theyre in one group if you get what im saying

[bold prairie]

You could also add some vague gradients too

[solid fulcrum]

you could add variation such as making them the same size, making one much much tinier than the other

[wise meadow]

The buttons on the right side? or the Buttons like Purchase etc?

[solid fulcrum]

the pink ones

i feel like its klind of all over the place and if i was to click on the ui it would just pop up on my face

[valid crypt]

guys whats a average server client memory

[solid fulcrum]

what i like to do is modify it in a way i would understand

[wise meadow]

Nah it dont pop up on your face it stays in the screen unfortunately

[solid fulcrum]

uhh do you have like a brother or anyone at home

[solid fulcrum]

damn 😔

[wise meadow]

lol

Im just messing with you, i get what ur saying

[solid fulcrum]

loll yup

but youre good man, keep it up!

keep practicing itll get much better

[wise meadow]

Theres alot too it, and I just started really messing with Roblox Experiences yesterday, i've dabbled in it from time to time and I've made alot of random UI and Scripts for people in Roblox, But I've never just worked alone on my own Project in Roblox Studio, and Now i am, So, I dont really have any outsider input, just my own brain

I also make all of this btw thru code

I dont use any Frames or anything like that in game

Almost right

[solid fulcrum]

is this made in roblox

[wise meadow]

yes

[solid fulcrum]

right roblox ui is super tricky

[wise meadow]

Gmod, FiveM, and Roblox is easier ngl

Dont have to worry too much abt scaling

as you do on here, Scaling is honestly the biggest thing, cause I have to make this Menu and everything look good on phones and consoles, just like it does on PC

[solid fulcrum]

you said you did this without frame

[molten creek]

hello fellow devs

[solid fulcrum]

and purely with coding

thats insane

[wise meadow]

Correct

Not a single UI Frame in anything, its all code

[molten creek]

Any non mid scripters existing here

[wise meadow]

I'd say me

But yk, I'm just a chill guy

🤷‍♂️

[molten creek]

my brother in christ your twitter is a cesspool

[wise meadow]

Dont look at that lmao

[molten creek]

FUCK YOU MEAN DON'T LOOK AT THAT

THAT'S THE FIRST PLACE PEOPLE GO ON TO HIRE

[wise meadow]

@solid fulcrum

[wise meadow]

Not smart

You shoulda just asked me for my Dev Portfolio

or just went to my steam

And seen some of the things I have on there

[molten creek]

Brother roblox runs on twitter

[wise meadow]

Screenshots wise

[molten creek]

You should remove it or be banned from this disc lmao

[wise meadow]

I wouldnt know

They gonna ban me from this discord cause u opened my Twitter?

👀 That seems a lil silly

[molten creek]

IDK man twitter being used as the main source of hiring by 90% of the community and is the first thing people open when hiring

Doesn't seem that silly to me

[wise meadow]

I've never hired anyone based off their twitter feed

I wouldnt trust that, I mean, I could just download videos or pictures of peoples post and post them like their my own

[molten creek]

Welcome to roblox

[wise meadow]

Thats dumb asf

genuinely

[molten creek]

Entire eco system works like that lmao

[wise meadow]

If imma hire someone, theyre gonna show me their ability to code prior to me hiring them

[molten creek]

Yeah that's crazy unfortunately not how it works here

[wise meadow]

Thats pretty dumb, considering there is a whole area on the creator dashboard to post jobs and hire people

• theres also the #scripter-hiring etc channels

in this discord

[molten creek]

You can call it dumb but the million dollar system works like that

[wise meadow]

Report me i guess 🤷‍♂️

[molten creek]

I hire mainly based off twitter

[wise meadow]

What I will say, is if your not logged into twitter, then you cant see anything i post on my twt

And if you dont have ur age setting to 18+ then u also cant see anything i post on twt

Well, genuinely your stupid asf for hiring people off their twitter

Also, you seen the name of my Twitter account, and you opened it

Use some common sense my dude

[molten creek]

Half of this discord is likely under 18

Bro it's crazy to me

[wise meadow]

And they cant see my twt if they are

So, genuinely not my problem

[molten creek]

Crazy statement

[wise meadow]

If you have a problem tho, feel free to dm me

[molten creek]

Low IQ statement

[wise meadow]

Rather than continuing this stupid asf convo in the public chat that we're supposed to use for coding discussions

[molten creek]

You do you buddy I came to hire competent devs

[wise meadow]

#scripter-hirable #scripter-hiring

[wise meadow]

i am as said tho, Open to work, But probably not for you :))

[molten creek]

Defo not for me I usually hire common sense

[west copper]

Is there anyone that can Make NVG and TVG system for Roblox specifically for auto morph stuff ?

[wise meadow]

specifically*

The Pacific is an Ocean

[west copper]

It’s called AutoCorrect issues

[molten creek]

Did he acc correct your grammar

Crazy

[wise meadow]

😭

[lean ocean]

you're weird asf for having that linked ngl

there's children in this discord server

[wise meadow]

2 blocked messages

[somber vault]

erhm

[wise meadow]

What dog, what nonsense u gotta say too?

[somber vault]

?

all i said was erhmm

😐

is switching from lua to roblox TS worth it?

[wise meadow]

people usually say that right before they start spitting some recessive chromosome logic

[somber vault]

looks like thats not me!

[somber vault]

lua is used to script in roblox

roblox language is lua

[somber vault]

yes, but TS is a whole new language, and people are saying it's better to swap to use it on your roblox projects

and i want to understand why

[vagrant shoal]

Luau*

[somber vault]

and also

is it necessary to learn javascript before typescript

[wise meadow]

I would not recommend using TS for Roblox

[night jasper]

can someone help me with a chat system message?

[wise meadow]

Just use luau

[wise meadow]

Whats up?

[night jasper]

im making a game. and i wanna make it so when someone rolls a rare rune. it shows in chat. but im not sure how

[lean ocean]

this guy is stupid cause it literally violates the discord tos

😢

[night jasper]

local function RollCPRunes(plr)
    if plr.leaderstats.CP.Value >= RuneCost then
        plr.leaderstats.CP.Value -= RuneCost

        local RunesFolder = plr:FindFirstChild("Runes")
        local RuneRolls = plr.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("RuneRolls")
        local RuneBulk = plr.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("RuneBulk")
        local RuneDupe = plr.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("RuneDupe")

        if not (RunesFolder and RuneRolls and RuneBulk and RuneDupe) then return end

        for i = 1, RuneBulk.Value do
            local SelectedRune = LuckFunctions.rollRarity(plr, Runes["CP-Runes"])
            RuneRolls.Value += 1

            if typeof(SelectedRune) == "string" and RunesFolder:FindFirstChild(SelectedRune) then
                local runeData = Runes["CP-Runes"][SelectedRune]

                if runeData.Chance < 5 then
                    RunesFolder[SelectedRune].Value += RuneDupe.Value
                else
                    RunesFolder[SelectedRune].Value += 1

                    local message = `[SERVER] WOW!! {playerName} Rolled A Rare Rune: {selectedRune} (1/{chance})`

                    StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", {
                        Text = message,
                        Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 200, 0),
                        Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansBold,
                        TextSize = 18
                    })
                    
                    end)
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

this what i got rn

[wise meadow]

nothing ive done has ever violated discord ToS, so respectfully leave me alone, been on discord since 2015, u probably dont even know the actual ToS, And again, Discord doesnt control anything that links to off platform things, such as the Connections, Discord isnt displaying anything that children shouldnt see, Twitter is, And my Twitter btw once again is set to where u have to be 18+ to see anything. Which means u have to be logged in and set ur age as that

[wise meadow]

Lemme see, one sec

[wise meadow]

Nothing in my profile show anything bad buddy

[night jasper]

can u help me w it

[wise meadow]

Update ur script with the stuff of my first image, then in ur StarterPlayerScripts make a localscript and put the stuff in my 2nd image

[wise meadow]

ur main issue here is the fact ur tryna use the StarterGui:SetCore on the Server, but that function only works clientside, and u have an extra end) in your code

[night jasper]

can u gimme the scripts in dms?

[wise meadow]

ye

[night jasper]

ty

[night jasper]

its not working

[frank oar]

can anyone help me with a roblox script

[night jasper]

ye dm me

[frank oar]

i did

[dusk fern]

can anyone help me with my roblox clothing game? i'm having the following issue.
I bought a premade game, and the script was included. When i click on the avatar within roblox studio it all pops up fine
but when i check it in actual roblox it doesn't work, does anyone understand why or if there's something i'm missing to enable?

[thick sluice]

i learned how to code a UI
local TextButton = script.Parent
local TextLabel = script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel
local CloseButton = TextLabel.Close

local openedUi = false

TextLabel.Visible = false

TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(clicked)
if openedUi == false then
TextLabel.Visible = true
openedUi = true
else
CloseButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(Close)
TextLabel.Visible = false
openedUi = false
end)
end
end)

yall does this game have potential its obby but its endless.

[pliant zealot]

What is the current best way to learn lua from someone who has no coding experience?

[pure owl]

Yo any scripter wanna join a duo and create a new game? If so dm me!

[solid fulcrum]

fireeee, the pink throws me off a bit 😭

guys i need help

local touchPart = game.Workspace.touchPart

local partIsTouched = false

touchPart.Touched:Connect(function(otherpart)
if partIsTouched == false then
partIsTouched = true
print(otherpart.Name)

    task.wait(1)
    partIsTouched = false
end

end)

if partIsTouched == true then
print("yakaboo")
end

so the last line, whenever i touch the part it does not print yakaboo

[bleak glade]

4 hour coding session yeah i need new hobbies

[wise meadow]

The server im making alot of people told me to use a pink asthetic, so here i am

it use to be discord blue lmao

[wise meadow]

local touchPart = game.Workspace.touchPart
local partIsTouched = false

touchPart.Touched:Connect(function(otherpart)
if partIsTouched == false then
partIsTouched = true
print(otherpart.Name)

    task.wait(1)
    partIsTouched = false
end

end)

while true do
if partIsTouched == true then
print("yakaboo")
end
task.wait(0.1)

@buoyant totem

[bleak topaz]

dpeends on how repetitive the obby is

[somber vault]

how do I change a parts lookvector

[bleak topaz]

i wouldnt recommend that solution

actually depends on what you're doing

but if you're checking 1 time you shouldnt be using a while loop

because that means you're checking every 0.1 seconds

not very efficient imo

you could use a wait before you check the condition

wait nvm that wouldnt work lol

[cosmic olive]

You can't really change a part's lookvector, other than rotating it, I guess. But the lookvector represents the forward-facing 'normal' for that part, it's not something you can change.

If you want, you can get any other vector though. You can use -Part.CFrame.LookVector (I think) to get the back-facing normal, and similar stuff for the 'UpVector' and (I think) 'RightVector'

[somber vault]

yeah it was a bad question I figured it out in like 10 seconds

[cosmic olive]

Lol no worries, I get confused with cframe stuff all the time

[torn aurora]

how does this updates gui look?

[pearl blaze]

I have a module function that needs a player as argument to do stuff, inside this function it gets player data, inside module I'm connecting to PlayerAdded event to create and set data to player, and on PlayerRemove I'm deleting this data. The problem happens when trying to use this module inside function that is connected on PlayerAdded, because roblox for some reason firing last connected events first, the function starts before any data for player is created. Is there any way to change the order of events firing?

-- module
local playerData = {}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
  playerData[player] = {Somedata = 5}
  -- we're setting player data
end)

return function(player)
  playerData[player].Somedata += 1
  -- we're using player data somehow
end

-- script that uses this module
local module = require(module) -- we're requiring the module above

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
  module(player) -- it will probably make an error
end)

[spring token]

what is the point of setting the data on join and then immediately incrementing it on join in a different connection

[pearl blaze]

This is just an example.

Showing that I am changing and working with this data.

[spring token]

thats unnecessary and confusing to have multiple playeraddeds in different places to all handle one thing. just make functions within the module that create and handle data and then call those when the player joins

that way you get to actually set the order of function calls

[pearl blaze]

That would be confusing, module is separate module that does stuff, I want to make it usable in all cases, even on player joining.

Ofc it would be easy to fit everything in one script without creating everything else, but that's not what we're doing here.

I need the solution, not the alternatives.

[spring token]

-- module
local module = {}

module.PlayerAdded = function(player)
-- call when player joins within a script and create a player data table
end

module.AddToData = function(player, amount)
-- increment player data
end

return module

its literally as simple as that

[pearl blaze]

That does nothing...

[spring token]

that does exactly what your script does bro

but instead its in one script and doesnt have bad practice

[pearl blaze]

I can't call PlayerAdded on every PlayerAdded event.

Data would just be reborn that would break stuff.

[spring token]

do you know how datastores work

😭

[zenith mason]

datastores are easy. its just POST data with key,value and GET data with key

the end

[pearl blaze]

Listen if you don't have any alternative solution to fix a MODULE, without complicating the scripts that use that module, please don't respond.

[spring token]

I JUST GAVE YOU THE MODULE

[zenith mason]

give me a summary of what this is about

im confused lol

[pearl blaze]

.

Dunno maybe you know if there's any methods

[spring token]

he wants to control the firing order of playeradded events within his scripts so that he can run one playeradded within the datastore module first to create data, and then call another playeradded after the one within the datastore runs to call the function that the datastore module returns

its so stupid

[zenith mason]

you're trying to save data on a fucking module?!?!?!

[pearl blaze]

I'm using a table in module script yes?

[spring token]

and i told him make one playeradded event in the module and call it when the player joins in an actual script and dude told me im duplicating data

this channel is cooked

[pearl blaze]

I never told anything about datastore and it's not even related to it.

You're literally confusing people trying to help me.

@zenith mason Just ignore him and try to keep focus on my messages, he makes everything confusing.

[spring token]

holy shit

[zenith mason]

Let's see

I have a module function that needs a player as argument to do stuff, inside this function it gets player data, inside module I'm connecting to PlayerAdded event to create and set data to player, and on PlayerRemove I'm deleting this data. The problem happens when trying to use this module inside function that is connected on PlayerAdded, because roblox for some reason firing last connected events first, the function starts before any data for player is created. Is there any way to change the order of events firing?

can you elaborate more on what you mean by

because roblox for some reason firing last connected events first, the function starts before any data for player is created

[pearl blaze]

If you connect many functions to the same event, the last connected function will fire first.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    print('1')
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    print('2')
end)

So here it will print 2 first and then 1 if player joins.

And module connects to PlayerAdded first, thus it being fired last.

[zenith mason]

First of all, having two of the same RBXEvents in the same script is a really bad idea

[pearl blaze]

It's not same script.

It's separate module that can be used anywhere.

[spring token]

the tldr is that (and this is literally what you get from reading the code THEY WROTE)

• playeradded within module is calling after the playeradded within the script that requires the module

• data does not exist when the script connects to playeradded because the playeradded within the module has not ran to create data and it is breaking his code

[pearl blaze]

Using module inside PlayerAdded is just an edge case I wanna fix if possible.

[spring token]

i told him to put the original event as a function isntead of a connection and call it on playeradded

he tells me its overcomplicating

do you see how stupid this is

[pearl blaze]

I'm not sure if this would ever happen? I don't know how I will use this module in this future, there is possible cases where I use this module inside PlayerAdded.

I need to somehow create a table inside this module that has player index so when someone using this module while passing player arugment, I can get it's data, but using it inside PlayerAdded is an edge case that breaks stuff.

[zenith mason]

module scripts are meant to simply be a collection of coorelated scripts

using events in them is unwise

[pearl blaze]

Why not? This is like a service type of thing.

Really comfortable.

[lofty plinth]

How does it break stuff

[pearl blaze]

.

Read the first message to understand what's going on.

[lofty plinth]

Yield it

[spring token]

bad practice

[lofty plinth]

This whole convo is eh

[pearl blaze]

Hm, actually that's a great idea.

Lemme try an example

[zenith mason]

i dont make the rules. Think of it like this:

ModuleScript is just a piece of code. Say the code it has is CodeX

You use a local script with a code. Say the code it has is CodeY

When you Require Module script, think of it as "merging both scripts to create a new script"

For instance:

ModuleScript
print("Hello")
LocalScript
print("I am local!")

ModuleScript + LocalScript(Require ModuleScript)

print("I am local!")```

[pearl blaze]

-- module
local playerData = {}
local waitingForPlayerData = {}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    playerData[player] = {Somedata = 5}
    
    if waitingForPlayerData[player] then
        task.spawn(waitingForPlayerData[player])
        waitingForPlayerData[player] = nil
    end
end)

return function(player)
    
    if not playerData[player] then
        waitingForPlayerData[player] = coroutine.running()
    end
    
    playerData[player].Somedata += 1
    -- we're using player data somehow
end

You mean like this?

[zenith mason]

Ok

[pearl blaze]

Dude the module script is really complicated service type module that configures network.

[zenith mason]

Here's the jist,
When you require a module script, think that the script requiring the module and the module itself is merging

^ this

[pearl blaze]

This example has ONE script using this module.

But imagine there's MANY using this module.

MANY MANY, This module is basic framework of my game.

[spring token]

thats why you fill a module with... functions????

like i showed you????

-- module
local module = {}

module.PlayerAdded = function(player)
-- call when player joins within a script and create a player data table
end

module.AddToData = function(player, amount)
-- increment player data
end

return module

[lofty plinth]

If u use modules properly that never is an issue

[zenith mason]

Case One @pearl blaze

Case Two

[zenith mason]

what he said

[pearl blaze]

Why are you teaching me how module scripts work?

[spring token]

and as i said before, the other event firing before the main one isnt an issue because you get to call them in whatever order you please

module.PlayerAdded(player)
module.AddToData(player, amount) -- works

module.AddToData(player, amount)
module.PlayerAdded(player) -- doesnt work

[pearl blaze]

I know how they work, there's a problem that you seem talk about but not give actual solution.

[spring token]

probably because your understanding of them is minimal

[zenith mason]

just learn from mistakes yeah 👍

[pearl blaze]

What mistakes there's still a problem you didn't fixed?

[zenith mason]

when you call a module script it will not run an event. it is simply meant to be REQUIRED by local or server

[pearl blaze]

Except distopian he actually gave a viable solution.

[zenith mason]

ok

[lofty plinth]

A horrible solution

[spring token]

bro ive given you a solution twice now

[pearl blaze]

Have any better ideas?

[zenith mason]

the solution this:
Dont put events in your module script

[spring token]

you are probably the worst beginner i have ever interacted with

[lofty plinth]

If u want to maintain whatever ur doing I'd move to modules

[spring token]

yk what ill spell literally every single function and script out for you

using YOUR code

give me 30 seconds

[lofty plinth]

Once u get 2 it you'll see the difference like night and day

[pearl blaze]

You're wrong and putting PlayerAdded not only ignores the problem and still keeps it, but makes code more unreadable by leading a "module space" into script for no reason

[pearl blaze]

Nah this module isn't a streamline thing, many stuff is using it at many random times, and data got from all scripts inside one table is important.

[zenith mason]

A problem has many solutions, and often the seemingly less efficient solution is more preferred to avoid dogshit complexity

[pearl blaze]

This problem adds dogshit complexity and gives no solution.

How about that?

[spring token]

-- module script
local module = {}
local playerData = {}
module.PlayerAdded = function(player)
    playerData[player] = { Somedata = 5 }
end

module.AddToData = function(player, amount)
    playerData[player].Somedata += 1
end

return module

-- server script
local module = require(pathToModule)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
  module.PlayerAdded(player) -- create table for player
  module.AddToData(player, 1) -- add to player data
end)

that is literally the solution to your problem

and you can call that same module in another script

and itll work the exact same

[pearl blaze]

What if there's another script that tries to use this module inside PlayerAdded?

[spring token]

then you... dont call playeradded

[pearl blaze]

And again later connected playeradded functions fire first, so playeradded will be last, and that would give you an error.

My problem is to make this module viable to call inside PlayerAdded
"Don't call it in PlayerAdded"

You're literally saying don't try to find a solution and just don't do it.

Stop flooding the chat.

[spring token]

yea we are saying dont do it

and youre not listening

[pearl blaze]

Nope, some guy actually gave a solution that fixes a problem.

[zenith mason]

he is trying to help you understand by sneding you a script, what of that is considered flooding

[spring token]

YEA THAT GUY WAS ME BRO

youre gonna make me start drinking prematurely

[pearl blaze]

This is solution.

[lofty plinth]

A horrible solution

[spring token]

in the most simple terms this is dogshit

[pearl blaze]

The only one solution can't be horrible.

[zenith mason]

brother that's a dogshit solution

[pearl blaze]

Have anything better?

[spring token]

THIS IS THE CORRECT IMPLEMENTATION

[pearl blaze]

Then shut it.

[zenith mason]

try better alternatives!??!?!?!?!

[spring token]

I HAVE SAID IT 6 TIMES

this guy gotta be ragebaiting me bro

[lofty plinth]

Ur 2 stubborn to actually go for the alternative solution because u think you can only do it 1 way

[zenith mason]

There are soo many ways to approach this

[pearl blaze]

Like what? Keeping the problem and erroring my game?

[spring token]

im actually so mad

[zenith mason]

And yet you continue to pretend there's not

[spring token]

yes please do that and leave this chat

[zenith mason]

are u delusional

[pearl blaze]

Give me an example that won't error.

[spring token]

that solves everyones problem

[spring token]

holy shit bro

[lofty plinth]

If u dont want actual help just leave

[silver verge]

"smart genius" 💔

[spring token]

W ragebait man you win

[lofty plinth]

Ur refusing all means of people actually helping u

[spring token]

im not falling for ts anymore

[pearl blaze]

Thanks for help, my problem still stands except a solution you call dogshit.

[lofty plinth]

U have a solution u refuse to acknowledge it

[silver verge]

what is your problem

[spring token]

dude blocks me, refuses to use my solution, claims the problem still stands

[lofty plinth]

Thats on u

[spring token]

this server is cooked

i literally wrote both scripts

[silver verge]

gotta see ts

[spring token]

now obviously they are still dogshit

because i used his shitty ass code

BUT IT WORKS

[pearl blaze]

It's fixed, currently people flooding the chat saying the only solution is dogshit while giving no alternative solutions.

[lofty plinth]

Alternative solutions where given

[silver verge]

what they gave seemed fine to me

[lofty plinth]

Better practices where given

[pearl blaze]

Depends what part of code you've seen, but if you wanna help me feel free to check the problem.

[spring token]

@silver verge can you please explain to me why this isnt working because clearly moonhuh

has more experience than me with modules

[pearl blaze]

Here's the problem.

[pearl blaze]

And here's the only solution I've got.

[spring token]

you gotta be ragebaiting bro

such a miserable existence

[pearl blaze]

This becomes a real problem, don't yall have anything better to do?

[lofty plinth]

They don't want an actual solution they just want some poop workaround that'll bite them in the ass

[pearl blaze]

@silver verge the only one currently trying to go into the problem, and it seems I'm not listening to your "solutions", so go, I already explain why it's not working, you're ignoring it.

[spring token]

i hope and pray that you stay stuck on this problem all night and then after you finally go to sleep you wake up to see if there are any solutions and realize you are no longer a member of hidden devs

[pearl blaze]

Nah if wclxb ain't giving me anything better I'm using this one

[spring token]

please use this one its the best option

[silver verge]

i use lyra these issues don't apply to me

[zenith mason]

-- getPlayerCoins [MODULE]
getCoinsOfPlayer = require(script.Parent:WaitForChild("getPlayerCoins"))

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    print(`Print {plr.Name} has {getCoinsOfPlayer(plr.Name)}`)
end)

-- coins [Server]
getCoinsOfPlayer = require(script.Parent:WaitForChild("getPlayerCoins"))

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    print(`Print {plr.Name} has {getCoinsOfPlayer(plr.Name)}`)
end)```

@pearl blaze

[silver verge]

if you needed this for states you can request the state with a function and handle the case where it returns nil

[spring token]

he literally just wants to find a way to change the order of connections to roblox events

[zenith mason]

14:17:03.194 A player was added - Server - getPlayerCoins:4
14:17:03.226 PLAYER has 10 - Server - coins:4

[pearl blaze]

Many scripts using this module, the main stuff the module is working on is data that is connected to player.

There's a bunch of data and a bunch of functions.

[silver verge]

have a function that might return the data before working on it

assume it can return nil

[pearl blaze]

Wait...

[silver verge]

works done gg next

[pearl blaze]

So you mean like

[somber vault]

How do I get a PlaceId of a place that isn't the starter place?

print(game.PlaceId) wont work for some reason

[silver verge]

yes it will

[silver verge]

local data = playermodule.getdata(player)
if not data then return end

...

[somber vault]

https://gyazo.com/68bcc4ea51b3ec2eef074b45f02a9255

This is me spamming enter.

[pearl blaze]

Alright I can not return end on this case but you gave me a good idea.

[silver verge]

dont do it while a game is running

[somber vault]

    print("Attempting to load player data from DataStore for:", player.Name)
    print(game.PlaceId)

here's it nested underneath the print you see above. Also doesn't work.

[somber vault]

Game isn't running in this instane.

[rotund bay]

my script says that the ID is sanitized but it’s under the same group

its in replicated storage under a folder

[silver verge]

ok get it from asset manager > places then

[somber vault]

I'm a nerd. It's because I was still filtering my search

🏃‍♂️

Sorry

[silver verge]

💔

[somber vault]

I healed it for you

[silver verge]

shouldve used ❤️‍🩹

I'm omw

@silver verge thanks you, this is literally what I wanted.

[somber vault]

👨‍⚕️ 🩹

[pearl blaze]

Finally someone who actually started talking and giving optimized solutions.

[somber vault]

💝

[somber vault]

Issue with this channel is that 99% of it is people just talking about something totally coding unrelated. Then ignoring questions about code in this channel, #code-help and #dev-discussion

😦

[pearl blaze]

Yeah there's a problem that most people talk without giving any solutions.

It's happening like 50/50.

[zenith mason]

so u did end up removing the fucking event from module script

[spring token]

you havent been here we gave him 2 different solutions prior

[pearl blaze]

I can't stop them from talking and it's a problem because they're flooding the chat.

[zenith mason]

how unsurprising

[spring token]

this guy bro

[silver verge]

😭

[pearl blaze]

My problem like goes above all useless messages from people that don't have anything better to do.

[somber vault]

I'm talking about in general. Not this exact case.

[lofty plinth]

Average user asking for help 😿

[astral spire]

anybody got some cool script editor themes ive grown bored of the default

[zenith mason]

like holy shit bro i've been telling you do that that and you say it's ignorning the problem

[pearl blaze]

You didn't told me to create a data every time I'm using a function

[somber vault]

Exactly. Prioritize us people, who they don't know and owe nothing. But we MUST receive help from the master coders.

[spring token]

THATS WHAT YOUR SCRIPT DOES

THATS WHAT MY SCRIPT DOES

THATS WHAT HIS DOES

[zenith mason]

There's a difference between completely writing your script and fixing your problem brother

[pearl blaze]

Alright this is useless.

[spring token]

YOU HAVE TO BE SPECIAL

[pearl blaze]

Next time if someone ignores, don't wants your help just go with it.

[spring token]

[pearl blaze]

Bet someone better will come and give a solution.

fuck you respectfully

[lofty plinth]

[silver verge]

is the game youre working on related to the garden gameplay loop whatsoever

[zenith mason]

well anyone, does anyone know any fun stuff i can do with switching model mechanic

[lofty plinth]

[spring token]

not even related its a complete rip off

build fast ship fast baby!

[pearl blaze]

He's not working on any game currently I can bet 100%

[silver verge]

i had the same idea to reskin it as potions

[zenith mason]

feedback thanks

[silver verge]

dont think it'd work though

[spring token]

dawg im verified developer with over 500 million visits owned and over a billion contributed

[silver verge]

since theres no visual progression unlike plants

[pearl blaze]

"master coders" like those who read the complex code without having any experience

[spring token]

and im also probably younger than you

[pearl blaze]

the annoying part is spamming again, I can't stop them from flooding the chat

[spring token]

please check my roblox profile 💔

[silver verge]

js block them then bro 😭

[zenith mason]

of what

[spring token]

grow a garden but instead brew a potion

innovation am i right

[ruby cipher]

is that just a viewportframe

[zenith mason]

what

[silver verge]

how do you plan on making other plots look cool so that players feel motivated by competition

[zenith mason]

no, i'm literally just switching between two different models

[silver verge]

won't it look too similar and boring

[zenith mason]

very

[spring token]

the sols rng effect: cool vfx

[ruby cipher]

oh are u changing network ownership just

[zenith mason]

add boss fights to that

[silver verge]

idk, goodluck hope it works

[zenith mason]

No, just change the model that the player can control

[silver verge]

rooting for you since i had the same concept 🫡

[spring token]

we have some gameplay mechanics to make it interesting itll be kinda like wacky wizards in a sense

[silver verge]

ic

[zenith mason]

whenever a player joins, two models are created and player can switch between them

same player, just different models

[lofty plinth]

Could cache the cframe and go back 2 it when switching might look and feel poop but worth trying

[zenith mason]

no netowkr ownership changes

[lofty plinth]

Camera cframe*

[vagrant shoal]

Bro I did a commission for a guy wanting event analytics this guy does not know how funnel events work

[zenith mason]

that's why he comm'd you

[vagrant shoal]

At least know what you’re doing before commissioning a scripter

[zenith mason]

any ideas on what to cache

[vagrant shoal]

He doesn’t know what a funnel is

[spring token]

so thats actually.. your job..

[zenith mason]

is that not why he hired you, to do it for him, or am i stupid

[vagrant shoal]

Actually?

[lofty plinth]

Camera cframe

[zenith mason]

guy wanting event analytics

[zenith mason]

how to cache*

:p

[vagrant shoal]

Sorry I’m new the whole commissioning thing

[zenith mason]

no worries, everyone starts off somethwere

[vagrant shoal]

But it was just surprising because I had to show him how to access it on create

But yeah it all went well

[spring token]

sometimes you gotta do that

[vagrant shoal]

Got it

[zenith mason]

lol make sure you don't do everyone someone says, they might just be trying to steal your cookie or something

be cautious

👍

[spring token]

but the best part is eventually when roblox breaks shit and he has no clue how to fix it boom you have another commission

[lofty plinth]

Either store in a table connected to the model itself or dump an attribute on that thing is probs the easiest way

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah

I charged $50 is that too low

[zenith mason]

not exactly

[vagrant shoal]

For 2 hours of script work

[zenith mason]

That's a steal

[spring token]

you made more than minimum wage

[zenith mason]

but depends honestly

[lofty plinth]

Id say that's solid

[spring token]

id say thats pretty solid

[vagrant shoal]

Alright thanks

[zenith mason]

you got your comms from here?

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah

I’ve been solo for years I just recently started comms

Needed funds for my big project and thought I could get some extra money on the side

I’m in high school I started when I was 9

[zenith mason]

use what you did for commns for your portfolio and you should be getting there 👍

[spring token]

was this recent comm for fiak

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah I put the job in my portfolio as past work

[zenith mason]

i've been doing lua for only 4 years now 😔

[vagrant shoal]

Indeed

[zenith mason]

post a job

[spring token]

lol

[vagrant shoal]

Wow that’s a lot

[spring token]

small world

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah

[spring token]

i havent actually made any games i just flood chat apparently

[zenith mason]

LINE TO HEAVENLY GATES SIMULATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spring token]

that shi was a money printer before it got deleted

[vagrant shoal]

Once I get enough funds I’ll save some then invest some into an account and then invest some into my game and

I’ve made about $200 total so far

[spring token]

thats dope bro

[vagrant shoal]

In 4 days

[spring token]

hell yea

[vagrant shoal]

It’s going good

[spring token]

how long you been programming for

[vagrant shoal]

Since I was watching Alvin blox when I was 9

I’m now almost 16

I’m a sophomore

[spring token]

oh nice i started at 9 too

and now im 17

[zenith mason]

im 20 💀

[spring token]

alright unc

[vagrant shoal]

Early bird gets the worm bro

[zenith mason]

and made a WHOPPING 3k robux in 6 months lmfao

[spring token]

game is game

i made 0 money until i was 13 LOL

was doing comms for tha free

[vagrant shoal]

This is my first Roblox money lol

At 16

[zenith mason]

4 years of training 💪

[spring token]

itll compound quick if you market yourself well

trust me

[zenith mason]

man i know how comms work but i never seem to be able to make my own

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah I’m trying

[zenith mason]

advices?

[spring token]

you gotta get connections to big developers

[zenith mason]

yes sure i'll do that while i have yet to have a portfolio

[spring token]

i guarantee you a person who has 1 game contributed but it has 5k active and 100m visits will get a comm before someone with 20 games contributed that all have under 100 players does

everyone cares more about numbers than skill now its crazy

[young crescent]

always has been like this

[zenith mason]

that's easier said than done. to begin with, i'd have to find said big developer

[spring token]

you gotta be annoying

i was dming developers on the daily asking them to hire me LOL

[zenith mason]

and that actually worked?

[spring token]

yea i eventually got someone from this server to give me a chance, i got the game to 17k concurrent and then got hired for a different game later down the road

and the original game that i got to 17k concurrent got me verified and it was bbq chicken from there

[zenith mason]

hmm

i'll try spamming dms then

i've spent the past week build scripts for a portfolio

[silver verge]

just dm sword 🙏 😭

im well versed in the playcore lore

[spring token]

and when i joined some of them have 600+

[zenith mason]

i ain't what they gonna do about me thorugh discord 💪

[silver verge]

my friend is the one who got him verified

[spring token]

i was the ONLY programmer on like 6 GAMES

[silver verge]

💔

[spring token]

AND MADE LIKE $300 ☠️

[silver verge]

wicked work

[spring token]

terrible waste of time

[vagrant shoal]

That’s a scam

[spring token]

dude thinks he can just buy games and get rich

[silver verge]

he aint axel or dobig

he wanted to be

[spring token]

you can def squeeze mad money out of that guy

not that i condone it but i do

[vagrant shoal]

Bet

[silver verge]

idk where hes getting his money from now

[spring token]

dont ever take % from him tho

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah I never do percentage

[spring token]

he has a filthy rich relative with filthy rich connections

[silver verge]

makes sense

[vagrant shoal]

Never again after past experience

[silver verge]

only do % on games with an active playerbase

[zenith mason]

anyone wanna recommend me some scripting channelges i can gather extra scripting xp from

[neat mauve]

🤑

[zenith mason]

💪

[silver verge]

dont take a gamble unless its your own project

[spring token]

learn buffers

[silver verge]

buffers are fun

[zenith mason]

wait()

???????

[silver verge]

💔

[spring token]

i use buffers for my datastores now that they added them

[zenith mason]

ah

[spring token]

i love c++ its the closest thing lua has now

[silver verge]

i dont wanna use them for datastores since player data dynamically changes

as the game updates

[spring token]

speaking of c++ does anyone want some old cs cheats i made

[silver verge]

and i dont wanna do migrations

lyra is good enough for me

[zenith mason]

javascript

[spring token]

its not terribly complicated but it definitely is a struggle for some cases

[vagrant shoal]

This is a good idea I should start doing this too

[silver verge]

none of my games would benefit from compressed data

[vagrant shoal]

Buffers are cool

[silver verge]

never been a bottleneck

i wrote a networking library with bit compression though

so a boolean is a bit instead of a byte

[spring token]

only if you want a simple script to update a "table buffer" to look like this

module.Addingredients = function(player: Player, plantId: number, amount: number): (boolean, string | nil)
  local data = memory[player.UserId]

  local temp = buffer.create(110)
  local ingredients = module.Getingredients(player)

  local existing = nil
  for idx, ingredient in ipairs(ingredients) do
    if (ingredient.id == plantId) then
      existing = idx
      break
    end
  end

  if (existing) then
    ingredients[existing].quantity += amount
  else
    if (#ingredients >= 20) then
      return false, "max"
    end

    table.insert(ingredients, {
      ["id"] = plantId,
      ["name"] = module.INGREDIENT_NAMES[plantId] or "Unknown",
      ["quantity"] = amount
    })
  end

  buffer.writeu8(temp, 0, #ingredients)

  for idx, ingredient in ipairs(ingredients) do
    local offset = 1 + (idx-1) * 5
    buffer.writeu8(temp, offset, ingredient.id)
    buffer.writeu32(temp, (offset + 1), ingredient.quantity)
  end

  core.Write(data, 2, function(_buffer, address, data)
    buffer.copy(_buffer, address, data, 0, 110)
  end, temp)

  return true
end

[silver verge]

why r we using ipairs gng

✌️

[spring token]

because of the offset...

[silver verge]

arrays are looped over in index order by default

[vagrant shoal]

Maybe I won’t use buffers for data store

im definitely not tryna chatgpt a buffer datastore bro

[silver verge]

instant dataloss

[vagrant shoal]

Don’t use ai to code bro especially not this 🥀🥀

[zenith mason]

yo dudes any advice on how to simply get comms on the regular, apart from mass dms which i will do but after i build a stronger portfolio

[silver verge]

#scripter-hiring probably

[pine chasm]

AI can write this if I can't

[spring token]

get a skill role and post a hiring

[silver verge]

that works aswell

[zenith mason]

how regular would that be

[vagrant shoal]

I did really good work for the guy commissioning for fiak and he’s giving me regular work I think I got lucky

[spring token]

i only ever use ai to get a base idea on how to approach a problem but never as the solution if that makes sense

[zenith mason]

can't actively look out for that because i can only work on robux only mid/short term and #scripter-hiring is limiting

[vagrant shoal]

Fixed his server memory leaks and gave him analytics

[spring token]

he fired me while i was in the hospital because i wasnt working enough

[zenith mason]

u got any advice for me, like how u got started and what the process is for ya

[vagrant shoal]

That’s terrible

[silver verge]

business is business unfortunately

couldve kept you on the team though

[pine chasm]

I do that too, I use that to make prototypes before I write any production code
But who knows, the prototype might just be good enough for production

[spring token]

he didnt even let me know he just removed from the gc and took my percentage out and we literally had another programmer there to help

[vagrant shoal]

The first day is when I locked in I just combined all my work from my years of doing my own thing and made a dev forum portfolio and a talent hub page

[silver verge]

wtf

ye thats fucked up

[zenith mason]

continue

[vagrant shoal]

I also made a YouTube channel with videos

[spring token]

games fucking fried anyways

playcore effect

[silver verge]

😭

[vagrant shoal]

I made a GitHub profile and other stuff and linked it on my portfolio w/ screen shots of my work you can see it in my discord profile

Rn I’m working on a fps demo to showcase my scripting skills and apply for the luau programmer role

[zenith mason]

how long after you posted your portfolio did u get any jobs

[spring token]

a github profile is slightly pointless if you dont have any open source or public code

and youre not using it for a job obv

[vagrant shoal]

Then all that was left to do was get active on the server and help a lot of people out with their code and things and once people saw that I guess they gave me commissions

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah I’m gonna remove it it has some info I’m not willing to share

[young crescent]

what is that

[vagrant shoal]

Like that’s all I did I was just really active for a day and I got a little bit enough attention to get DMs

[spring token]

the "studio" i used to work for that really just bought into a ton of games and ended up killing them

[vagrant shoal]

But I also sent dms to people from #scripter-hiring where the commissions were within my capacity

[young crescent]

company ahh studio

[zenith mason]

and how long did it take and how'd you go from there

[spring token]

kid with too much money thinking roblox is a get rich quick scheme ahh studio

[young crescent]

roblox game companies be killing everything they touch

[zenith mason]

moreover did u mostly seek out for jobs in #scripter-hiring or did people come to u

[vagrant shoal]

Bro that’s crazy

[vagrant shoal]

All this is within 2 days

It’s been 4 days now I made $200

[young crescent]

tbf its the fault of the ppl who sold the games in the first place they deliberately gave its life to the grim reaper

[spring token]

i might still have a message from our pm hold on

[vagrant shoal]

First day was setup and stuff the second day was when I got active on the server and I got commissions from there

[vagrant shoal]

He talks shit about his scripter to me when I’m working with him bro 🥀

[pine chasm]

L human

[zenith mason]

this was recent

damn

[spring token]

he talked shit about him to me too and then fired me like i wasnt better than him bro

i hate roblox

[vagrant shoal]

😭😭😭

[young crescent]

why u ending up in this situation in the first place stop working for rich skids

[spring token]

yea like 2 months ago

[young crescent]

comms are a scam u just dont know it yet

[vagrant shoal]

Business is business but it gets to a point bro 💔

[odd nacelle]

anyone a good scripter wants to be payed 4k robux to fix scripts that are not working

[spring token]

i wasnt on comm i was on payroll bro

[young crescent]

even worse why are u getting a roblox job with 0 security

[spring token]

because i make a lot of money off my roblox job with 0 security

[young crescent]

how much is a lot of money considering he fired u over getting sick

[pine chasm]

No

[vagrant shoal]

Bro the guy that he worked for was casually throwing 10-25K my way so if he got a percentage I think it’s a lot

British guy

[young crescent]

usd? thats kinda crazy ngl

[spring token]

i was making maybe 2k a month off that game alone

[vagrant shoal]

Robux

[young crescent]

thats not crazy ngl

[vagrant shoal]

Wait what was the daily revenue for fiak

While you were still on the team

[spring token]

when i worked for sw2 i was making 5k/mo at 16

[spring token]

110-150k

[young crescent]

u couldve gotten better rates if u worked for urself and not a briish skid

[zenith mason]

fiak as in Fight in a Kindergarten?

[spring token]

im 17 gng i cannot fund a project 💔 🥀

[young crescent]

well now u can

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah

[pine chasm]

If one's Roblox job has 0 security you're just bad, on a real note 😭

[young crescent]

a ton of roblox jobs have 0 security its common

[spring token]

because all the roblox games are programmed by minors

[young crescent]

usually a kid from a rich family wants to make a game or sum and then he starts hiring a bunch of ppl and fires them over the smallest thing

[pine chasm]

If you truly deliver quality a client will never think of firing you

[young crescent]

and maintained by adults after they buy it from them

[vagrant shoal]

I disagree

[pine chasm]

I dished

[somber vault]

External factors could also push them to fire you

[spring token]

until they think delaying an update by a few days on their 400 ccu game is life and death 💔

[vagrant shoal]

Bro my phone sold me

[spring token]

damn its really 2 am i got school in 6 hours

[vagrant shoal]

Damn I’m on break

[spring token]

last week for me

[vagrant shoal]

That’s the only reason I have time to do all this lol

AP exams in 3 weeks

And then finals in June

[pine chasm]

I agree but these are quite rare, eg. lacking budget (you can still get a % if comfortable)

[spring token]

i have hella track practice, a ton of homework, exams and state meets coming up

im cooked

morl gonna fire me 💔

[pine chasm]

Complaining- suffered aura loss

[vagrant shoal]

I play lacrosse and I have football workouts in the summer

I ran indoor track

[spring token]

im in an aura deficit bro i need to pr

[vagrant shoal]

I’m thinking of skipping workouts my body needs rest 💔

[spring token]

i have fb over the summer as well (american idk if you care)

[vagrant shoal]

I play American football too

[spring token]

my school makes fb lift at 6 am in the off season i have not shown up to a single lift

[tulip panther]

Anyone knows how can I make server to sell my models

[vagrant shoal]

I was a lineman on JV this year I bulked up from 150 to 175 my goal is 180 by football season so I can be a varsity tight end

[pine chasm]

Cool now try the real football ⚽

[vagrant shoal]

I did when I was younger I was trash

Never got better

[spring token]

i play wr but im lowkey a midget dawg

[vagrant shoal]

I basically did every sport until I found football and lax

[pine chasm]

I did rugby I was so ass

[vagrant shoal]

Fast shifty midgets are getting increasingly popular

[spring token]

those are the fast shifty midgets who are 5'9 tho

i'm a fast shifty midget who is 5'5 😭

[vagrant shoal]

I played soccer as a kid then basketball from elementary school up until freshman year

[spring token]

my dad played that in canada

[vagrant shoal]

How much you weigh

[vagrant shoal]

I’m only 5’ 10” lol I probably have no future as a TE

[spring token]

138 cuz i run track too

[vagrant shoal]

Oh yeah

[vagrant shoal]

I’m slowly transitioning to a skill position

[spring token]

ironically enough i had the most receiving yards and touchdowns on my team 😭

[vagrant shoal]

See bro greatness

[spring token]

but no aura i get to in n out after the game and the huzz all looking down at me 💔🥀

[vagrant shoal]

The bruzz hyping me up is a better feeling

No gay shit

[spring token]

i just get thrown

😂

[vagrant shoal]

lol

I made so much progress in the weight room

Bench press was 150 in September

Got all the way to 225

And squat 315 -> 405

[spring token]

that's dubs i'm small but i can lift
245 bench
220 clean
450 squat
560 dead

they call me endermite 😭

(i'm black)

[vagrant shoal]

God damn bro

At 140 lbs is freaking crazy

[worn pilot]

Is table.getn() deprecated

[vagrant shoal]

I can barely clean 165 but that’s js cause I hardly do it

But my deadlift is 450

[vagrant shoal]

I don’t think so but just say #table to get the number of items in an ARRAY (doesn’t work for tables)

For example if you had a table stored in a variable called “array” you would get the number of items in the table by using #array

[split pilot]

does anyone know how to code in python

[zenith mason]

yeah

wsp

@split pilot

[split pilot]

can you fix py?

complex

[zenith mason]

depends. send me your code

[split pilot]

k

[somber vault]

Is settings something roblox already has assigned to something? Making it not possible to assign values to settings? Or am I wrong about that

[pine chasm]

The values of settings are set by the user, you can listen to the changes of these values. Some settings like, shift lock, can be disabled

[somber vault]

Okay, because I was wondering why I was having issues. My script currently tries assigning settings custom values like: settings = blablabla

But that explains it

[elfin blaze]

is it possible to tween the color of particles

[somber vault]

Is there anyone that's able to help me learn coding (Lua)? Kind of like tutoring except volunteering.

If anyones keen then hmu

[vagrant shoal]

Bro

It’s 2025

The internet is free
