Let’s learn to be self sufficient

[somber vault]

I'm not a visual learner

[vagrant shoal]

Luau is not hard to learn

Even then

[silver verge]

read the docs

[vagrant shoal]

W3schools

Read the Roblox API

[slender yew]

Anyone know why I'm unable to use table values from module scripts?

[silver verge]

show code

[slender yew]

for _, food in pairs(foodAssets:GetChildren()) do
    if food:IsA("Tool") then
        table.insert(foods,{
            FoodType = food.Name,
        })
        
        return
    end
end

Module ^

local hungerhandler = game.ReplicatedStorage.Hunger.HungerModule
local foods = hungerhandler

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    if tool.Name == hungerhandler.foods then
        print(hungerhandler.foods)
        
    end
end)``` 
script

[silver verge]

youre returning nil

remove the return and put return foods at the bottom of the module

[slender yew]

I can't require it then

[silver verge]

??

[slender yew]

idk

Module code did not return exactly one value

[silver verge]

this returns nil

[slender yew]

yeah thanks

[silver verge]

remove it and return the foods table

at the very bottom after the loop

[slender yew]

oh the bottom of the loop not the module?

[silver verge]

no

return the foods table at the bottom of the module

and remove the return i circled

[slender yew]

yeah ight

[hardy pilot]

How do we feel about modules in instances tied to them

[slender yew]

whqt is this issue

like I know it doesnt return one value but I need access to all of the values returned

@silver verge

[silver verge]

your module isnt returning something

[slender yew]

ok

[slender yew]

its because I returned 2 values

instead of 1 and luau doesnt work with it

so it errors

[silver verge]

yeah dont do that

[slender yew]

yeah I didnt know

so I made the module table

now it works

ty

[silver verge]

ez

[ancient cove]

yo

guys

[short notch]

how do you make mesh index

index{}
meshindex{}

[ancient cove]

i am really intrested to learn luau

can anyone tell me where to learn

[tidal bolt]

also you don't need pairs nor ipairs anymore

[silver verge]

documentation

[tidal bolt]

hiatus on youtube, or the docs

[ancient cove]

by who

[ancient cove]

okthanks

[silver verge]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/fundamentals/coding-1/coding-fundamentals

[tidal bolt]

https://create.roblox.com/docs
the docs are a reference manual for the roblox engine

[ancient cove]

thank u guys

[small ingot]

Since when can we data store tables without using JSON encode??

[silver verge]

forever?

[small ingot]

what the fuck

[vagrant shoal]

You can store tables but you can’t store stuff like color3

And vector3

[silver verge]

it's primitives only

[vagrant shoal]

In the tables

Yeah

[ancient cove]

is there any vids i can learn of ?

[silver verge]

i would stick to reading that first

[vagrant shoal]

Although you can encode the color3s and vector3s in your own way

[silver verge]

mess around in studio

[ancient cove]

ok

[silver verge]

before trying to watch videos

[vagrant shoal]

Learn the fundamentals of lua

[ancient cove]

let me read it

[vagrant shoal]

Then docs will make even more sense

[ancient cove]

ok

[opal yarrow]

can anyone tell me which is better to use task.spawn or coroutine.create or coroutine.wrap

they basically does the same thing i guess

[short vale]

I think it depends on how much of control you need on the coroutine

for most basic usage task.spawn is fine

[opal yarrow]

ok thx

[graceful nymph]

youtube tutorials for the basics, documentation for anything after

good or bad

[somber vault]

Hello!
I'm trying to make a checkpoint system, currently each section has a spawn point that (should normally) not be able to be spawned on until the player has passed their first section. Making that their checkpoint. When the game loads the RespawnLocation is set (with replicatedfirst) to a spawnlocation called InitialSpawn. Yet for some reason sometimes it will still choose a random spawnpoint out of the sections. How would i go about fixing this?

[graceful nymph]

u could number them each 1,2,3 etc and then put them in a folder, and add a loop that cycles through each number when they touch the spawn

[somber vault]

I have, they're all assigned to their own part and numbered automatically. Yet ROBLOX still choses to spawn at those SpawnLocations eventho I've defined the RespawnLocation to originally be InitialSpawn

[graceful nymph]

i dont know too much about scripting, but ive made something like this before. u just need to use a loop with some if statements

[graceful nymph]

try #code-help

[hardy pilot]

What IP is that?

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah bro just reinstall 🥀🥀🥀

[somber vault]

Error: Succes

[opal yarrow]

anyone can tell me which to use task functions or coroutines

[vagrant shoal]

coroutine.wrap(function(arguments)
Your code here
end)(arguments)

[pine chasm]

Search up 'A-chassis'

[lone rain]

I needa set up the soccer camera system where when you score it pans the camera to your character

[rugged mist]

completely different things

[rugged mist]

Linear interpolation

[rugged mist]

coroutines allow threads to be made and called asynchronously

and the task library allows you to manipulate tasks

[vagrant shoal]

Oh I didn’t read his question right

Wait no I did

He was asking whether to use task.spawn or coroutine

Pretty sure that’s what he meant

[rugged mist]

ah well coroutine.resume and task.spawn are essentially the same

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah

Idk I never use resume though I just use wrap straight away lol

[rugged mist]

well wrap creates a function not a thread

[vagrant shoal]

I know

I js hardly ever use it for that

[rugged mist]

this doesnt make sense then if u know

cause wrap and create are similar not resume and wrap

resume and spawn are similar

[vagrant shoal]

Wait

Clarify

Spawn uses a function too

If I’m not mistaken

[rugged mist]

u said u don’t use resume u used wrap

[vagrant shoal]

I kind of grouped them to be the same things (spawn and wrap)

[rugged mist]

but those are completely different things

task.spawn can spawn threads and functions

[vagrant shoal]

I didn’t say they were the same

I just said I never use resume

And I only ever use coroutine for functions

[rugged mist]

!

[vagrant shoal]

lol but did I say they’re the same

[rugged mist]

Why’s

[vagrant shoal]

That’s just a bad habit I got 😅

[rugged mist]

I don’t see the point of using coroutine wrap though

[jolly harbor]

is task.spawn more optimized than coroutine

[rugged mist]

why would you wrap a function in a coroutine vs just call it?

[vagrant shoal]

No

Other way around

[rugged mist]

task.spawn is a customized luau library

[vagrant shoal]

So it can run at the same time as other things

In the same script why else

[jolly harbor]

also i only use coroutine.wrap too lol

[vagrant shoal]

It’s just quick and convenient

[rugged mist]

but you can’t control the thread as much with yields and stuff can you?

[vagrant shoal]

No I can’t

I hardly ever need to

[jolly harbor]

wouldn't that make it faster (if its specialized for luau)

[vagrant shoal]

It’s garbage collection that’s the problem

If I’m not mistaken

[rugged mist]

no they are probably the same speed

Roblox just created the task library as a simple means for devs

because it also allows for multi threading

task library is basically a wrapper for coroutines

in a slightly looser way

[jolly harbor]

i thought coroutines ran serially

and that actors only run parallel

[vagrant shoal]

Ask prime if you got questions he seems very knowledgeable about multi threading

[rugged mist]

coroutines run asynchronously

it’s not serial

[vagrant shoal]

Wait what’s the difference between coroutine and actors

[rugged mist]

it’s on the same thread as everything else

so basically

how roblox handles script execution is asynchronous for the most part

but serially through the script

if you create two seperate scripts they can run "at the same time"

but really they are running on the same thread asynchronously

[vagrant shoal]

If you put them in an actor?

Learn something new every day

[rugged mist]

basically this allows as you know multiple things to happen "at the same time"

its not really at the same time but the interpreter will try to switch between tasks during the clock cycle to make it seem like it is

now actors

[vagrant shoal]

Oh yeah I remember reading something like that

[rugged mist]

allow you to use other cores

on the device

which allows you to truly use other threads

cause each core on a device usually has a thread

[jolly harbor]

oo I thought it only switches back and forth when it comes across any yields like wait()

[rugged mist]

which includes hyperthreading, because hyperthreading is basically just asynchronous threads

[vagrant shoal]

That makes sense

lol 5 years and Ian learn this

[rugged mist]

so basically this

imagine task1 is the red and the orange

and task 2 is the blue

synchronos would work one task at a time

asynchronous switches between the red-ish tasks and blue-ish tasks

[vagrant shoal]

Ohh

[rugged mist]

multithreading is actually two entirely seperate threads

which is what actors are for

[vagrant shoal]

So actors are multi threaded and coroutine is asynchronous

[rugged mist]

thats why people use actors for ai

because all that computational power

should be spread on other cores

rather than taking up all the bandwidth of the single thread

that lua runs on

[rugged mist]

yes

[jolly harbor]

is there a reason why my coroutines randomly run on a different worker threads though

[vagrant shoal]

How long have you been scripting for

[rugged mist]

1.5 years

[jolly harbor]

all of them just switch to a random worker thread

[rugged mist]

because i believe the tasks are handled differently

it depends on where the task is handled

[rugged mist]

dont feel bad about yourself cause i do this full time

u can check my profile linked

[vagrant shoal]

I started when I was 9 or 10 but didn’t really start getting active experience until 13 or so

Now I’m trying to fill all the gaps I missed

In my learning self taught

I js recently started commissions it’s going good so far

[rugged mist]

i started when i was 9 but i just did 3d modeling and building until 2 years ago

worked on alot of big games tho but building and modeling isnt where the money is at

trust

[vagrant shoal]

That’s cool

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah I know I tried it once

I was mid and the pay was bad

Never working for a percentage again

[rugged mist]

percentage is where its at bro

[serene tulip]

where to learn how to script

[rugged mist]

just gotta find the right people

[vagrant shoal]

Only if the player base is trusted

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah

[vagrant shoal]

Go learn luau and then look at the Roblox api

If you get confused you have the whole server here and videos on YouTube

[serene tulip]

whats roblox api?

[vagrant shoal]

https://create.roblox.com/docs

Everything you need to know about studio

[serene tulip]

I was looking fo a dash system with vfx and the tuts werent rlly good

[vagrant shoal]

Also sorry Roblox uses Luau not lua

I don’t suggest you use specific tutorials like that

It will make you really dependent on others and not able to think for yourself and problem solve

It’s good to have a community and ask questions but don’t get into the habit of lacking self sufficiency

It will hurt you in the long run and hurt your growth as a scripter

[rugged mist]

If you want to learn lua i recommend starting with watching youtube tutorials like alvinblox, thedevking, bricey

and if you want to get really good read the lua manual

[vagrant shoal]

The dev king might be a little outdated but his lua tutorials are good

[terse wigeon]

u never stop learning as a programmer 🫠

[serene tulip]

yea cuz when I started modeling I would do any tut

[vagrant shoal]

Facts

[serene tulip]

any tutorial sme1 recommend

to learn luau

DEAR CREATURES OF THE scripting realm REALM, THE BUILD REALM CALLS YOUR HELP, #⭐creations THE POOL IS CLEARLY BETTER THAN THE TAVERN AND THE NOOBISH BUILD! STAR IT

your country calls you.. skibidi

(don't star the others ezz)

[rugged mist]

what is that pool for

[dense rock]

its for comparing who builds better between us 3

[white dock]

any tips on how to get a top down picture of my city for mini map ?

[serene tulip]

is there a dif beetween lua and luau

[dense rock]

theres a u at the end

[serene tulip]

thats it?

[rugged mist]

lmaoo

luau is a versions of lua that was specifically made for Roblox

[torn aurora]

anyone wanna buy this I'm selling it for 1500 robux, I'll take payment in pls donate.

[serene tulip]

you cant dev ex robux from pls donate

[torn aurora]

wdym

?

@serene tulip

[white dock]

any tips on how to get a top down picture of my city for mini map ?

[serene tulip]

you cant dev ex robux earned in pls donate

[torn aurora]

@serene tulip I'm not taking the robux out for real money, I'm just gonna use it for games

[jolly harbor]

probably add a black highlight w/ white outlines to buildings
add a grey highlight w/ black outlines to roads

kinda just screenshot it

[white dock]

its huge map 😭

[fossil salmon]

where did you read this 🙏

[serene tulip]

I saw it on a vid

and it didnt work for me as well when I first started

[vagrant shoal]

That makes sense

You have to get the robux from your creations

And I guess they can check where you got it from

[fossil salmon]

u get robux from the gamepasses you sell on pls donate, its the same as doing a commission

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah but they can check where the game pass was bought

[serene tulip]

not if its frome hazems place where he gets 10%

[vagrant shoal]

If it was bought on pls donate then you can understand what happens

[fossil salmon]

ur still selling ur creation, just from his game

it doesnt matter

[serene tulip]

it does

[vagrant shoal]

lol go read devex requirements on help page

[graceful nymph]

are u using ipairs

[ruby cipher]

1500 for that is wild

[fossil salmon]

it says nothing about that

[fossil salmon]

where

[vagrant shoal]

Wait

If I earned my robux from a game pass that was bought from a game that I just used to collect robux will devex still work

[ocean wharf]

Could someone assist in scripting my RNG game, coins system, boost system etc

[vagrant shoal]

Anyone????

[serene tulip]

if you are the owner yea

[vagrant shoal]

so it doesnt matter if its a template experience with no user visits

just as described

because thats all the game exists for

to collect robux from commissions

[serene tulip]

its should be fine I think

[vagrant shoal]

alr

wait i dont think it is bro 💔 🥀

its a recent update to the terms of use

its over bro 💔 🥀

[static coral]

just use shirts/pants

[vagrant shoal]

that wont fix my devex with the robux i already earned

[static coral]

then make a shirt/pants, send the robux off to a different account and buy the clothing from that account

i think that would be the only way

[static coral]

also what are the exact terms of this?

how many visits do u actually need

maybe just publish junk game and let a few people play it

[topaz crypt]

I made a character selection script and its working fine but when the character dies they dont respawn is this a common problem?

[static coral]

show code and video of issue

[vagrant shoal]

ill do that just in case

or wait

i could turn my devex gamepass game into my demo for my application for the luau programmer role

[static coral]

pro tip: you can acquire free labourors (testers) from rate my avatar

[vagrant shoal]

and put it on my portfolio

[static coral]

ig

[vagrant shoal]

rate my avatar?

a game?

[static coral]

yes

[vagrant shoal]

bet

im gettin to work rn

[static coral]

search rate my avatar 2

then go acquire your “paid workers”

just make a booth

with some yap about how you are an upcoming passionate developer

[vagrant shoal]

thanks for the strat bro you a real one

why does making the height 100% make the div box dissappear

[stuck radish]

not enough context

[karmic coral]

jk i just waffeled LOL

[stuck radish]

show html structure & rest of css

or make a codepen

[steep pebble]

alr 1 sec

[fading hull]

any scripter wanna work n an rpg, you will be working along side another scripter

[steep pebble]

@stuck radish

[stuck radish]

try puting content in it

you're saying height = 100% but that means 100% of the available height

and there is no available height due to your parent (body)

also avoid spamming ids like that, prefer classes

[steep pebble]

how do i give it more available height

[stuck radish]

make the body taller

set it to 100vh

[steep pebble]

it kinda worked but i want it to extend the full length of the screen no matter how tall the page is

[stuck radish]

yes that's what 100vh does

the entire viewport height

[steep pebble]

with out extending the page

[stuck radish]

if you put it on the body, it won't do that

[steep pebble]

i did

aside from that how do i put elemets behind each other or in front?

[stuck radish]

flexbox

or make the elements inline & set their width (ugly way)

[steep pebble]

would it work like lets say moving someone infront of a line or bejind a line not side to side?

[stuck radish]

I think it's best if you try to learn the basics

[steep pebble]

cause i only learnt it as in order number go in like 1 2 3 4, then using flex to reverse it or change value locations

[stuck radish]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS

[steep pebble]

did

[stuck radish]

reading is not the same as learning

cause if you learned, the previous questions you asked should be self explanatory, no offense

[steep pebble]

i watched a 4 hour brocode video 😭

i gues she missed that part

[stuck radish]

watching & reading is not the same as learning

[steep pebble]

none taken

[stuck radish]

you need to actively participate

to look back at if i mess up but i cant find anything about priority

layering

idk what it is called so ill just name it priority layering

[stuck radish]

you mean something like z-index or the order property of a flex child?

[steep pebble]

yh

how to change the z positioning of elements

[stuck radish]

element {
z-index: whatever

[umbral carbon]

A z-index attribute actually exist?

[stuck radish]

that property exists yes

[somber vault]

I have 3 years experiences in script in roblox and wanted to ask if it's possible for me to remake the game grow a garden easy?

[umbral carbon]

I don't know

Try it out

[somber vault]

I mean it doesn't seems complex first seen

but the fruits growing up when you're offline might be quite hard

[spring token]

i am doing it rn it's not that hard

[somber vault]

I'm pretty sure it's a table with all the fruit and maybe it calculate how much time have you been off and it calculate a factor that tell you how much the fruit have grown

[spring token]

you just save the time when the player logs off the game, compare the saved time to the current time to see how much has passed between logs when they join and then give the illusion that the plant grew

it's a pretty simple concept i'm surprised no one has thought of it until now

[ruby cipher]

hey

i just wanted you to know that

im here for you

[spring token]

oh word

if you're ever struggling emotionally or financially, just give me a call

There's a chicken farm near me

And we got chickens from there before

[ruby cipher]

thats actually fairly cheap considering eggs are expensive

well not in america

but here in europe they are

[hasty mesa]

Expensive in America as well

[ruby cipher]

Really? I heard they went down a lot following Trumps very bad decisions crashing the stock market

[hasty mesa]

Yep people are using potato's instead of eggs for Easter

[ruby cipher]

What 😭

I would have never thought of something like that lmfao

[coarse notch]

how do i actually make progress learning, i watched tutorials but now what

[midnight cradle]

Question
Is there a script I could use that lets me put a function and be able to use that function in a different script?

Or is that already included with the studio

[jolly harbor]

yea it's just a module script

[midnight cradle]

Ok

[jolly harbor]

just define the function then return FunctionName at the end for your ModuleScript

then when you type Func = require(ModuleScript) it lets you reuse the function you created

[regal tree]

crap, i'm having difficulties with a script

• the script is inside a UI, this UI has buttons to allow a player to change teams

• when a player presses "Play" after selecting their team, they are meant to be respawned so that they spawn at their spawnpart

right now all it does is respawn the player, i'm assuming the problem is that the game has streamingenabled toggled on

i've tried making the spawnparts persistent by putting them inside a model, no game

also tried putting the spawns inside replicatedstorage, same deal

any tips? sorry for the text wall guys

[trim dove]

Spawns should be in workspace.

[regal tree]

thats how they were in the first place, streamingenabled won't load them since they're technically parts though right?

and the spawn parts are quite far from where the player initially spawns at, the map is 10k by 10k studs

[bleak glade]

is this messy or easy to follow

[paper dawn]

its easy to follow

its structed good

[bleak glade]

ty, i was tihnking about releasing it as part of my framework

or just using it to my self, im not sure

[paper dawn]

is this something for client server communication?

[bleak glade]

yes my own remote events

[paper dawn]

nice

[bleak glade]

it allows for disconnect/ reconnect for a certain id

so you can disconnect it when you want

[dark karma]

is it lua ?!

[bleak glade]

yea

[dark karma]

bruh im cooked

[bleak glade]

luau

technically

[dark karma]

this looks so difficult

[bleak glade]

well no ones asking you to code like this

[cinder crater]

I'm currently trying to create dev prducts that if you buy sth gets e.g. +1000 poitns but no matter what I try it doesn't work, can anyone help me?

[dark karma]

you can code this easier you mean ?

[bleak glade]

you dont have to code that at all

its part of a framework im working on

[dark karma]

no games requires this type of code ?

[bleak glade]

theoretically no

[dark karma]

alr

oh its framework

[bleak glade]

but using a framework makes it easier and organized

[dark karma]

so yeah thats why

alr alr thank you

yoda can i ask you an advice ?

i just learnt basic lua, more or less advanced level what can i do now to get hired ? @bleak glade

[bleak glade]

well do you have a portfolio

[dark karma]

no

[bleak glade]

you can start there

[dark karma]

ok

and then

should i do free services ?

or make everyone pay

[bleak glade]

i didnt do that

[dark karma]

alr

you got hired fast tho ?

[bleak glade]

you can make small things or what not in studio

[bleak glade]

yes

[dark karma]

hm

so just a portfolio

[bleak glade]

my first job i didnt get paid much but the opportunity cost was so high, based on what i learned

[dark karma]

do you remember what the task was ?

[bleak glade]

yeah it was an rng game

but it helped me learn module organization

[dark karma]

and whats best way to progress now, since i know pretty much all that needs to be knowns for basic games

[dark karma]

sheesh ok

[bleak glade]

keep challenging yourself

[dark karma]

alrr

got it man, thanks !

any scripter wanna help and make an rpg u will be working along side another scripter

[solid fulcrum]

error after error i just cant figure out how to change a blocks color then make it go away after like a few seconds

after you step on it

wait mb i placed the ) wrong

[coral field]

Your missing brackets

[rose lotus]

You packed a punch but you forgot to punch 🥊 your buns hahahaha

[fast wedge]

his bracket at the wrong place

[solid fulcrum]

sorry i just started scripting

fixed it but the block still wont change color

[rose lotus]

Why

[solid fulcrum]

id want to create a game

[rose lotus]

Why

[fast wedge]

what are u tryna do here

[rose lotus]

You packed a punch but you forgot to punch 🥊 your buns hahahaha

[solid fulcrum]

after you touch a block, it should be able to turn a certain color

then change bafck to normal after a few seconds

[fast wedge]

oh

[mint cloud]

Did you, perhaps, put the code in the correct spot

[solid fulcrum]

are you suggesting i place it outside of the function>?

[mint cloud]

I mean the whole script

Where did u put it

[solid fulcrum]

its a script inside of the part

that should be colored once stepped on it

[mint cloud]

Ok, is the print happening?

[solid fulcrum]

yes

[mint cloud]

Put the code from the second if statement in the first

And parentheses around really red

[fast wedge]

local Time = 5
local Part = game.Workspace.touchPart
Part.Touched:Connect(function(P)
if P:IsA("BasePart") then
local InitColor = P.BrickColor
P.BrickColor = BrickColor.new"Really Red"
task.delay(Time,function()
P.BrickColor = InitColor
end)
end
end)

idk if i did properly

im on phone

i did some caps error and stuff oop

[solid fulcrum]

local touchPart = game.Workspace.touchPart

local partIsTouched = false

touchPart.Touched:Connect(function(otherpart)
if partIsTouched == false then
partIsTouched = true
touchPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really Red")
task.wait(1)

    if partIsTouched == false then
        partIsTouched = true
        print(otherpart.Name)

        task.wait(1)
        partIsTouched = false
    end
end

end)

still doesnt work

[mint cloud]

You should only have one if statement

[solid fulcrum]

how would i make the
if partIsTouched == false then
partIsTouched = true
touchPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really Red")
task.wait(1)

tho

[fast wedge]

try my version reef

edit the time for the delay before it turns back

tho

[mint cloud]

It looks right, put the partIsTouched == true at the end or maybe ur using brick color wrong

Convocator probably knows better

[olive ingot]

I love coding, but I hate when my code doesn't work (whihc is 90% of the time)

[fast wedge]

[solid fulcrum]

doesnt work..

[olive ingot]

I'll spend 20 minutes coding, thinking im so smart and i've finally found a fix.. just for it to be the exact same as before

[fast wedge]

wait so

oh

wait

reef

u want it to make ur entite character red?

entire*

or

show me ur explorer rq

[fading hull]

any scripter wanna help and make an rpg u will be working along side another scripter

[olive ingot]

put a print command after the touchPart.Touched:Connect line to see if its even working

[olive ingot]

btw, you shouldn't need the if statements if you make sure to automatically make partIsTouched = True and False at the begining and end

[bleak topaz]

uhh

[bleak topaz]

yk if you set partIsTouched to true

its not gonna go pass the if statement

because partisTouched is always gonna be true in that case

i dont think creating a brick that changes color and turns back can be that convoluted imo

[lament hazel]

guys chatgpt better than yall

[abstract flare]

Yo does anybody know why my robux eggs in my simulator game works inside roblox studio but when u buy it in the actual game the player doesnt get the pet

I'm kinda new to scripting so finding any error is quite hard

[rugged mist]

send code

[ancient eagle]

Can someone explain to me why I cant get the clickDetector.MouseHoverEnter to actually work, like I've tried to like 30 minutes now...

I might just be stupid

[fast wedge]

who made chatgpt tho? who made chat gpt better tho? Youre an imbecile, how to prove youre a low iq without saying youre a low iq

[fast wedge]

its MouseEnter

[ancient eagle]

Oh

Makes a lot of sense then

Lemme try that

[fast wedge]

and uh

wait

click detector?

what are u tryna do

[ancient eagle]

Basically Im trying to make it so that when I hover over a part, the part will get a slight highlight and rotate to the player, but I cant seem to get the mouse hover thing to work at all

[fast wedge]

Hm.

from close?

[ancient eagle]

Yea the camera will be locked into a position close to it

I just made like a super simple thing to try to get the mouse hover part to work:

local part = script.Parent
local detector = script.Parent.ClickDetector

detector.MouseEnter:Connect(function(player)
    part.Highlight.Enabled = true
end)

Even that doesnt work

[fast wedge]

ik

mouseenter is for gui

i didnt understand at first

[ancient eagle]

Oh

That makes sense then

[fast wedge]

the part already had a highlight?

[ancient eagle]

Yea

Its just disabled, so I can just check if the hover part works

[fast wedge]

and the click detector too?

[ancient eagle]

Yup

[fast wedge]

hm..

[remote bear]

my old version struggling with a few hundred instances vs my new version handling a few thousand (the flat one is the new one btw)

[odd nacelle]

Anyone need any scripting help im a 6 year scripter?

[fast wedge]

try making it a script instead of a local

[ancient eagle]

That works, problem is I need the function to be local

[odd nacelle]

sorry uhmm what are you trying to do i may be able to help?

[ancient eagle]

Not server sided

Basically Im trying to make it so that when I hover over a part, the part will get a slight highlight and rotate to the player, but I cant seem to get the mouse hover thing to work at all

[odd nacelle]

ray casting

[fast wedge]

problem with ray casting is hed have to use a loop that raycast his mouse

mouse.hit

or wtv

well thats the only way i see

[odd nacelle]

yeah but i mean its probs best to use and most effiecient

[ancient eagle]

Anyone know a good tutorial or documentation on using raycasting for mouse positions then? xd

[fast wedge]

oh wait there might actually be a better way

[ancient eagle]

Yea?

[fast wedge]

With uh

mouse.Move

u make a connection with it and check the mouse and if its on that part that u want to highlight

then it does

[cosmic olive]

That won't necessarily work since the camera can move if the character moves

[fast wedge]

i dont get what youre trying to say here

[ancient eagle]

The camera will be locked

So that isnt a issue

[fast wedge]

Idk if it still classify camera shift lock movement

as a mouse movement

if thats wym

[cosmic olive]

Even if it is locked, the camera moves when the character moves, the mouse can move off of an object without moving the mouse specifically

[fast wedge]

thats fine

[ancient eagle]

But doesnt that just mean that if I lock the character, that wont be a problem?

[cosmic olive]

If you lock the character it won't be an issue yea

Or you can update it when the camera moves and when the mosue moves

[fast wedge]

ye

[ancient eagle]

Does this not work in LocalScripts or am I tweaking

[cosmic olive]

It would only work in local scripts, you can't really know where the mouse of someone is server-side

[odd nacelle]

ray casting is 10X easier

[cosmic olive]

You should use raycast as opposed to mouse.hit, but it doesn't really solve the issue of when to raycast (or mouse.hit)

Although, ignoring mobile, mouse.hit is totally easier than raycasting for general purposes lol

[ancient eagle]

I mean, the part will only be accessible at certain times, like when a player goes to a specific shop or whatever, they will be taken to a table where the part will be, and ONLY then will they be able to access it

So the "when to raycast" part wont neccessarily be that big of a problem

[cosmic olive]

Yea, I was just pointing out that raycast doesn't solve that particular issue

[ancient eagle]

Ah

[odd nacelle]

im 6 year scripter making a roblox game anyone interested in helping scripted basic its a parkour level game need more help though

[pulsar wasp]

are coroutines only useful if there are multiple loops in a script?

[halcyon fulcrum]

GuiButton.Text = "On"

GuiButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if GuiButton.Text == "On" then
        GuiButton.Text = "Off"
        
        script.Parent.Parent.HUD.Canvas.Currency.Visible = false
    else
        GuiButton.Text = "On"
        script.Parent.Parent.HUD.Canvas.Currency.Visible = true
    end
end)```
i want it to when pressed and switched to off that the color changes too how to do it?

[proud garden]

Try color3

I think its like GuiButton.Color3 = Color3.New(1,0,0) or something like that.

[halcyon fulcrum]

it is a gui button so it doesnt work with it

[proud garden]

hmm,

Let me see if I can do it,

[halcyon fulcrum]

i got it to work

ty

but if u got something tell me maybe ur way is better

[cosmic olive]

There's a bunch of uses, but generally, only really sueful if you want to have multiple runtimes (ie do 2 things at once). Multiple loops are a pretty common use-case

useful* whoops lol

[proud garden]

Wait, do you want the background color to change or just the text?

i got it to work for me both ways,

[pulsar wasp]

i see, thank you

[halcyon fulcrum]

bg + i changed it but i get this color for some reason

[cosmic olive]

If you want an easier format for color, I'd recommend Color3.fromRGB()

[proud garden]

Hm, I got a bright red.

[halcyon fulcrum]

idk why

i tried BackgroundColor and BackgroundColor3

[cosmic olive]

Can you post your code?

[proud garden]

What did you do inside the code?

[brittle dew]

What's the difference between ProductID and assetID

[proud garden]

I have no clue 🤷

[halcyon fulcrum]

GuiButton.Text = "On"

GuiButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if GuiButton.Text == "On" then
        GuiButton.Text = "Off"
        GuiButton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255,80,80)
        
        script.Parent.Parent.HUD.Canvas.Currency.Visible = false
    else
        GuiButton.Text = "On"
        GuiButton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(55, 255, 0)
        script.Parent.Parent.HUD.Canvas.Currency.Visible = true
    end
end)

[brittle dew]

sorry is this question is stupid

[cosmic olive]

Use Color3.fromRGB with those values, Color3.new() is in a different format

[proud garden]

yeah

[halcyon fulcrum]

in terms of what
assetsId you get it from the creator hub for me i add it in local called productId so pretty much they are the same just diffrent names i think

[halcyon fulcrum]

1 sec

[brittle dew]

but what's the difference between PromptProductPurchase and PromptPurchase

[halcyon fulcrum]

same problem

[cosmic olive]

Is the code similar to:

GuiButton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 80, 80)

?

[halcyon fulcrum]

it darkens again idk why

[cosmic olive]

Can you post your updated code? It might just be the wrong color values, but I'd like to make sure

[halcyon fulcrum]

GuiButton.Text = "On"

GuiButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if GuiButton.Text == "On" then
        GuiButton.Text = "Off"
        GuiButton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(55, 255, 0)
        script.Parent.Parent.HUD.Canvas.Currency.Visible = false
    else
        GuiButton.Text = "On"
        GuiButton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(55, 255, 0)
        script.Parent.Parent.HUD.Canvas.Currency.Visible = true
    end
end)

[cosmic olive]

The second one is still Color3.new(55, 255, 0) instead of Color3.fromRGB(55, 255, 0), changing that should fix it

[halcyon fulcrum]

local GuiButton = script.Parent.Settings.Frame.GuiButton

GuiButton.Text = "On"

GuiButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if GuiButton.Text == "On" then
        GuiButton.Text = "Off"
        GuiButton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 55, 0)
        script.Parent.Parent.HUD.Canvas.Currency.Visible = false
    else
        GuiButton.Text = "On"
        GuiButton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(55, 255, 0)
        script.Parent.Parent.HUD.Canvas.Currency.Visible = true
    end
end)```

like this?

[cosmic olive]

Look at the one after the else statement, see how your using Color3.new instead of Color3.fromRGB?

[halcyon fulcrum]

oh yeah

nah didnt solve anything

nothing can fix this script

i aint dying before i fix it

[cosmic olive]

Lol don't crash out I'm sure it's a simple fix, to clarify, both are using Color3.fromRGB?

[halcyon fulcrum]

yup

GuiButton.Text = "On"

GuiButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if GuiButton.Text == "On" then
        GuiButton.Text = "Off"
        GuiButton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
        script.Parent.Parent.HUD.Canvas.Currency.Visible = false
    else
        GuiButton.Text = "On"
        GuiButton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(55, 255, 0)
        script.Parent.Parent.HUD.Canvas.Currency.Visible = true
    end
end)

like the thing is

wait lemme rec

[cosmic olive]

Then it should work, assuming you're changing the color of the right thing.

[cosmic olive]

Hm

Where's the script located?

And where is the UI located?

[halcyon fulcrum]

inside the button

[halcyon fulcrum]

StarterGui

[coral field]

Would play the video but my internet is refusing to load it

[golden crag]

We've all had the script that doesnt work properly without throwing errors
But what about when the script throws an error and still works anyways

[halcyon fulcrum]

discord is trash at loading vids

[halcyon fulcrum]

happenes,act like u are blind

[coral field]

Its not even discord as my internet has been randomly turning off

[novel cloak]

if an error isn’t interfering with the script then the bugged part probably isn’t necessary for the script to function anyways

[cosmic olive]

This may sound stupid but maybe just save the place, then restart studio?

[golden crag]

But thats the thing, It doesnt work when I remove the error part. Ill show a image, one sec

[cosmic olive]

Assuming you're referring to everything properly, and another script isn't overwriting it, I think it should work assuming the code you've shown is what you're using

[halcyon fulcrum]

lemme try

[cosmic olive]

The second part is kinda important, make sure you don't have another script changing the color

[novel cloak]

what kind of error does it say it is when you hover over the red squiggly line

[cosmic olive]

There might be one you've forgotten about or something affecting the color

[novel cloak]

if there’s an error in syntax or something isn’t properly defined and whatnot studio will tell you where the error is

[coral field]

Try changing the red to a different red

[cosmic olive]

That could work too, colors can be finicky for some reason

[halcyon fulcrum]

Same problem

[halcyon fulcrum]

I tried every color you could think of

All are dark

[coral field]

What are the properties of the button

That could change colour

[novel cloak]

if the error is on run you can do /console in testing to see what pops up in the logs

[halcyon fulcrum]

I have a theory wait

[cosmic olive]

Something else must be overwriting it maybe? Try putting this in a script to see how it changes color

local button = (button location goes here)

button.Changed:Connect(function(prop : string)
  if prop == 'BackgroundColor3' then
    print(button.BackgroundColor3)
  end
end)

[halcyon fulcrum]

Nah

Nah

I fixed it

[cosmic olive]

Oh neat, do you know what the issue was?

[halcyon fulcrum]

The goddamn ui gradient

[cosmic olive]

LMAO

Yea been there

[halcyon fulcrum]

Nah

I can’t tolerate dis

I was close to be laying down with my ancestors

Or doing schedule 1 irl and quitting scripting

[golden crag]

Sorry, edited image became unreadably small res.

The line of code was

Animation.Ended:Connect(SoundEffect:Play())

When it's blocked out, the sound doesnt play.

When left in, script throws an error: Attempt to connect failed: Passed value is not a function but plays the sound anywasy and follows through with the rest of the script 😂

[coral field]

https://tenor.com/view/spin-fish-fishing-funny-gif-22552021

[cosmic olive]

That's weird, but if you get rid of the () after play it might work?

[golden crag]

Thats the thing, it works anyway

[cosmic olive]

I mean yea but you should probably want to get rid of the warning

[golden crag]

Fascinating little creature this engine is

[halcyon fulcrum]

thank you @cosmic olive

[cosmic olive]

Could also do:

Animation.Ended:Connect(function() SoundEffect:Play() end)

if that doesn't work :P

[halcyon fulcrum]

U wasted ur time cuz of my lack of attention

[cosmic olive]

Lol np I've been working on stuff in the meantime anyways

[golden crag]

Will attempt

[halcyon fulcrum]

What did u do about semi working script

[golden crag]

@halcyon fulcrum This

[halcyon fulcrum]

Oh the problem was cuz of sfx?

[golden crag]

Which, doesnt work for my specific case since for some reason the function yields until I release the mouse button, as the rest of this code block repeats on a loop until the mouse is release, so a strange interaction there

[cosmic olive]

x. x

[vagrant shoal]

What is the best way to script the destructive effects of an anti material bullet

[vagrant shoal]

I scripted an ntw 20 along with a scar L and m4a1

[vagrant shoal]

I just need to implement the destructive aspect of the anti materiel rifle

[vagrant shoal]

It’s for my application for luau programmer

[cosmic olive]

You'd probably need to design a map with it in mind, or dynamically make a function to split up parts that it hits and change the anchor property of them

[vagrant shoal]

Is using explosions efficient

[golden crag]

Generally, you want the destructible mesh/part to already have it sliced into it's broken pieces, then have the pieces fall off as they're impacted

[cosmic olive]

Former is kinda annoying but easier to think about, latter is much harder to make but is easier to work with (you don't need to really think about it)

[cosmic olive]

To be honest I never recommend using the built in roblox explosions, they're kinda bad

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah I was thinking that too

[golden crag]

Explosions have a lot of wierd interactions with anchored vs non-anchored parts,

[cosmic olive]

Can definitely work though if you're building a classic style game or don't really care about the effect that much

A custom thing will pretty much always be better though lol

[vagrant shoal]

I like putting effort lol I don’t like making cash grabs it’s no fun

[cosmic olive]

I've spent the past like 4 days making a door for my game lmao

[golden crag]

That's that grind

[cosmic olive]

It just has like 50 properties I have to deal with and it's really modular

Better to get the logic out of the way now then deal with it later

[vagrant shoal]

These are the entities I will be testing the antimateriel on

I scripted them to have green cores / weak points where they can die if the core integrity becomes critical

[cosmic olive]

Those skeletons are sick, that's really cool

[valid bay]

Can someone help me understand what i'm doing wrong, the part does not move.
this is the full script:

local part = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Part")
local dragDetector = part:WaitForChild("DragDetector")

dragDetector.DragStyle = Enum.DragDetectorDragStyle.Scriptable
local lastViewCFrame = CFrame.new()


dragDetector.DragContinue:Connect(function(player: Player, cursorRay: Ray, viewFrame: CFrame)
    lastViewCFrame = viewFrame
end)

dragDetector:SetDragStyleFunction(function ()
    local frontPosition = lastViewCFrame.Position + (lastViewCFrame.LookVector * 10)
    return CFrame.new(frontPosition, frontPosition + lastViewCFrame.LookVector)
end)

... but if i put

local frontPosition = lastViewCFrame.Position + (lastViewCFrame.LookVector * 10)
part.CFrame =  CFrame.new(frontPosition, frontPosition + lastViewCFrame.LookVector)

Inside the dragDetector.DragContinue the part moves.

[vagrant shoal]

Ty bro

[vagrant shoal]

You’re not actually moving the part in your script. SetDragStyleFunction only tells Roblox how the drag should behave—it doesn’t automatically update the part’s CFrame. You need to set part.CFrame manually inside DragContinue, like in your working test.

Does that make sense to you?

[valid bay]

oh yes it does

i thought i just had to return the CFrame and it would do the rest

[cosmic olive]

I think you don't need to do stuff in the .DragContinue event if you change the DragStyle to Scriptable, but I'm not 100% sure since I've never used those before lol

[valid bay]

see

[vagrant shoal]

That’s odd

[cosmic olive]

Make sure DragStyle is set to scriptable

[valid bay]

yes it is

[cosmic olive]

Hm

[vagrant shoal]

Wait I think I know what’s going on

Your function here

dragDetector:SetDragStyleFunction(function ()
local frontPosition = lastViewCFrame.Position + (lastViewCFrame.LookVector * 10)
return CFrame.new(frontPosition, frontPosition + lastViewCFrame.LookVector)
end)

It’s using stale data from lastViewCFrame, which only updates during DragContinue. But SetDragStyleFunctio runs before DragContinue fires—so lastViewCFrame is outdated and maybe even CFrame.new() (the default) when drag starts.

[valid bay]

🤔

[vagrant shoal]

You need to use the parameters passed into SetDragStyleFunction, like this

dragDetector:SetDragStyleFunction(function(player, cursorRay, viewFrame)
local frontPosition = viewFrame.Position + (viewFrame.LookVector * 10)
return CFrame.new(frontPosition, frontPosition + viewFrame.LookVector)
end)

Now it uses fresh data every frame

I may be wrong

[valid bay]

nah you're onto something

[cosmic olive]

I think you probably should use the passed values, but I think with the pre-existing code it should've done something, right..?

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah

That’s what doesn’t make sense

[thorny hatch]

YO keyframes keyrames bezier curves ahahahahahaaa.

[cosmic olive]

Tbh the position being updated like that is kinda weird

[valid bay]

he is right SetDragStyleFunction is being called first

[vagrant shoal]

Does it work

Or partially work

[valid bay]

no the pre-existing code doesn't work the part doesn't move at all

i'll try to understand how i can use the cursorRay which is passed into the DragStyle function to move the part instead

[cosmic olive]

Yea good luck, seems kinda weird to set up lol

[mild badge]

why does my pathfinding ai stops working properly after a few mins?

[vagrant shoal]

We need more info than that

[valid bay]

I don't understand this....
part.CFrame = ... WORKS! the part is following my cursor just like i want it to but if i remove it the part doesn't move at all

dragDetector:SetDragStyleFunction(function (cursorRay)
    local finalPosition = cursorRay.Origin + cursorRay.Direction.Unit * 8
--    part.CFrame = CFrame.new(finalPosition)
    return CFrame.new(finalPosition)
end)

that's not supposed to be the case

and i can't just leave part.CFrame = ... because then the part just says in the position it was left

this is what happens

[tranquil spire]

dm me if you're a high quality scripter looking for a building partner tryna launch a game studio (I have 4 years experience, contributed to 10m visits, ~2m of my own).. I have robux to invest if worth

[somber vault]

Who’s a good scripter

[lime iron]

slapped together a time module

whjat features should i add to it

[cosmic olive]

That looks pretty cool! Maybe a way to add more time to one, or clone a timer?

[median tiger]

Me

[vagrant shoal]

I’m trying to implement a knockback effect here when the anti materiel bullet hits the entity. Is it better to use a bodyvelocity/vector force or is there some other way?

Is it better to use HumanoidRootPart:ApplyImpulse()?

[cosmic olive]

I would stick to some sort of force instance

[vagrant shoal]

Alright

[cosmic olive]

Although it's not super difficult to just tween the body back a bit, it might interfere with the movement scripts so I'd avoid that unless you don't want them to move while being knocked back

Honestly there's a bunch of ways to do it

Kinda just depends on how you want it to 'feel'

[cold stone]

alr i need help icl

how tf do i check if the textbuttons name is == a dicionary in Codes

[cosmic olive]

Hi, you can do

for _, code in ipairs(BackgroundFrameGetChildren()) do
  if Codes[code] ~= nil then
    -- stuff
  end
end

You should use 'ipairs

[cold stone]

why i pairs?

cs it index it

right

like 1,2,3 etc

[cosmic olive]

Sorry, ipairs is best used when it's not a dictionary, it's more optimal

[cold stone]

oh

[cosmic olive]

And getchildren() returns a table, so it's indexed in order

[cold stone]

yeah

okay

[cosmic olive]

It's not super important, a very minor distinction

[cold stone]

okay

doesnt print

[cosmic olive]

Sorry, totally forgot, you need to do v.Name lol

[cold stone]

i hate tables and diconarys sometimes

oh

doesnt work

dictionarys

[cosmic olive]

Are you sure the function is running?

[cold stone]

yes

the gui pops up

[cosmic olive]

Just to clarify, you're code is:

if Codes[v.Name] then
  print(Codes[v.Name])
end

Right?

[cold stone]

yes

ohh

[cosmic olive]

I'm assuming there's stuff inside of the frame named properly?

[cold stone]

wait nvm

mb

[cosmic olive]

Lol no worries

[cold stone]

it worked now i forgot v.names in the top

[cosmic olive]

Ah

Yea most coding issues tend to be silly little things like that :P)

[cold stone]

yep

are u ai or sum

lmao

[cosmic olive]

I promise I'm not lol

[cold stone]

alr lmfao

[cosmic olive]

Kinda hurtful 😢

[cold stone]

take it as a compliment

you type proper grammar unlike others including myself

[cosmic olive]

Lol just a habit, I like how it looks ;P

[cold stone]

made the text with code lmao

forgot to spell nine properly

[cosmic olive]

Mood tbh

[cold stone]

there

[cosmic olive]

Oh nice, I like how that looks :D

[cold stone]

yea me too icl

turned out better than i though

[old mango]

Getting weird problem where my return value(A dictionary) turns into a string along the way.

Got no idea how this is happening 😭

[cosmic olive]

I think it might be related to the return value of:

result, Data = pcall(module.playerStore.SetAsync, module.playerStore, PlayerWrap.Owner.UserId, Data)

Not 100% sure since I've no idea what those do, but it's possible that's setting Data to be a string (Looks like the user id, maybe?) instead of the data

[old mango]

Thats what I initially thought to but after placing a couple breakpoints and looking at the watch the pcalls seem to return just fine

[cosmic olive]

I'm assuming the :ConnectPlayer() method is shown in the first image?

[old mango]

yes sorry it was a bad screenshot

[cosmic olive]

Lol no worries, are you sending the tables over a remote event or the like? Those have weird behaviors with dictionaries, if I remember correctly

[old mango]

Nope I am just using requiring a module script(called datastore) and using its ConnectPlayer function

both are serverside

[cosmic olive]

Oh boy

[vagrant shoal]

How would I make a scope HUD for a sniper rifle that zooms in on the 2d area of the scope but is normal outside that area?

[cosmic olive]

Are there any other returns for that function or is just the one?

[cold stone]

ViewPortFrame im guessing

[vagrant shoal]

This seems next to impossible

[cosmic olive]

This is a really difficult problem, other than replicating it with a viewport frame (or replicating the outside with a viewport frame) I don't think it's possible

[vagrant shoal]

It would look horrible

[vagrant shoal]

🥀🥀🥀

[cold stone]

yeah obviously

[old mango]

Its just that one data value

[cold stone]

but u can use z index

[vagrant shoal]

I thought about capture service but that wouldn’t work either

[cold stone]

and js make abunch of frames around it to get that scope effect

[vagrant shoal]

I know

[cosmic olive]

Is it possibly an issue with the input, rather than the output?

[vagrant shoal]

But I wanted something more realistic

If only you could use capture service with cframes 💔🥀

[cold stone]

it would be realistic or as realistic as roblox uis could get

[old mango]

Here ill poke and prod a little more and then respond if i discover anything or solve it

[cosmic olive]

Yea sorry I couldn't give better help, that's a really weird problem lol

[old mango]

Yep its came outta nowhere

[raven marsh]

a

[old mango]

It was this line here. It was returning the version identifier of the SetAsync function. It would sometime work sometimes wouldnt so thats why I was getting mixed results.

[cosmic olive]

Ah, yea, glad you were able to figure it out :D

[west copper]

Is it bad I use ChatGPT to fix 99% of my codes and of course just to make them

[raven marsh]

could be 100%

[delicate glacier]

No not necessarily

[cosmic olive]

You should probably avoid using AI if you want to improve as a programmer, if you're learning anyways

[delicate glacier]

Agreed

[west copper]

I don’t know how to code cuz I have dyslexia it kind of makes it hard to learn, and then I also have ADHD on top of all that

[delicate glacier]

My good friend has been coding for 10 years with ADHD

[west copper]

Oh yeah, and when I try, I get chronically stressed

[cosmic olive]

That's certainly fair, and I empathize with your struggles, but using AI won't help you program, it will just program for you. If you want to improve, there's other ways to work around those issues

[delicate glacier]

Multiple languages also

[delicate glacier]

And is coding the only thing you want to do?

[west copper]

I mean, I can read the code and understand it but, when it comes down to making it mentally I get lost and yeah

[delicate glacier]

Like I do sfx and music

[west copper]

No I am a builder mainly I also have to learn code because I’m making a game

So of course, I have to become full stack

[delicate glacier]

Why ya don't have any roles for it den

[west copper]

Bc I never applied for it and I like to be humble about what I can do

[cosmic olive]

I think that's an issue most people struggle with tbh, but I find with complicated issues, writing out the logic and going through it helps a lot

[west copper]

Hm

[delicate glacier]

How long you been sxrutoif for

Bro I'm to tired

[cosmic olive]

Stroke moment

[delicate glacier]

You get what I mean

[cosmic olive]

If you mean scripting, then yea lol, I've been scripting for around 10 years or so

[delicate glacier]

Ah ok

[cosmic olive]

Only got good the past like, 2-3 though :P

[delicate glacier]

xD

[west copper]

Being a builder is like Legos, but understanding code is pretty damn foreign to me

(since I’m good at making my own LEGO builds without instructions of course Roblox was easy as 123)

Maybe there’s some software that can make it like LEGO build For the coding

[delicate glacier]

I'm know how to code basic things, but it's not what I focus on

[delicate glacier]

Would ye ever do commissions?

[west copper]

Yes

[delicate glacier]

I need a cave map really badly

[west copper]

But my style is kind of from SCP genre, so maybe that might work

[delicate glacier]

Due to the fact I'm a sfx guy and we have 2 animators, 3 scripters and 1 ui

[delicate glacier]

Ah ok

Bru can I change my roles

[west copper]

Hm

[delicate glacier]

Shsheheuj

Hm would you do it for if ya were interested?

[west copper]

Yes

[delicate glacier]

How much would you do

[west copper]

Elaborate

[delicate glacier]

How much would I have to pay you to make a map

[west copper]

I’m not the best at pricing

[delicate glacier]

[tiny schooner]

Anyone good with blender and rigs in here? I have been through a couple different experts and cant seem to get my models importing into roblox correctly. Would be happy to compensate for your time if you can point me in the right direction. Thanks.

[worn pilot]

have u checked if it's over 10k trigs

whats the error look like or what does it look like when u actually import it

[spark geode]

i want to move a brick object around a sphere, but i also want it to be warped to surface of the sphere, how would i do this?

[iron oyster]

a little math or a little raycasting*

math would be preferable

[spark geode]

how u do dat

[zenith mason]

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

if u mean something like cloth simulation when you say "warped to the surface" then i can only think of custom mesh. i personally havent dealt with such things

[bleak nexus]

yo bruh @soft marsh whar up

[topaz crypt]

Someone please tell me how i have statemanager module and i handle all state checks and sets on the server for all scrips however somehow all my moves are breaking into eachother and destroying the game if i can fix this one thing i can progress

[waxen needle]

instead of writing comments like this

//Comment

you had to write your comments like this

using Comments;

public static comment Reasoning()
{
  return /*This if statement is damn useless*/;
}

Comments.UseComment(Reasoning);
if (true)
{

}

opinion?

[placid agate]

opinion on what? lol

[waxen needle]

did you see the message before it

[placid agate]

no i must have missed it

[lilac crescent]

@pine solstice so like I made something, dms

[iron skiff]

anyone know how to script a free ugc system

like for the free ugc obbies

[neat mauve]

rate

[vague steppe]

y'all is it ok if i give a scripter 30%?

[neat mauve]

95% at least

[vague steppe]

...

the scripting is simple dawg.

it will only take a god scripter about 1 hour to complete task]

and they get 30%

[teal marsh]

hey evering one

i need help in a code that is a bit scuffed

if anyone is willing to help for free id love if u could DM

its a rlly small code that i cant debug

[copper grotto]

How much would it be for a Sword System, with Framework, M1 Combos, Parry, all that stuff

30k robux?

[slender yew]

60-80k

[slender yew]

js post it here huh

[copper grotto]

Aight
