code-discussion

[sudden igloo]

yes ofc it is im just wondering if there is a way that will be worth while rather than just events

sorta

[sharp lagoon]

Oh it was a joke?

[karmic cobalt]

just store this as values and send via event, I dont think it bad way to do it, its not using a lot of memory so you will be fine

[sudden igloo]

if i create a value will it eb replicated to the client automatically?

[karmic cobalt]

depends where you create thhe value

[sudden igloo]

do you think a system where i create a folder with string values of all the players in lobby work?

[fringe barn]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1241901543008243745/1250991869303853127/Untitled466_20231018115927.gif

[karmic cobalt]

like store every lobby in folder and stores eveyr values?

[sudden igloo]

it wont work inside the gui right? cause its only client sided

[gleaming wolf]

attributes are faster

[sudden igloo]

yes in rs or smth

[sudden igloo]

is there an option to create just a blank object with attributes that will just replicate to the clients automatically?

[karmic cobalt]

You know rep storage its not a really safe place to store lobby

exploiter can acces to it

[gleaming wolf]

a folder ig

[karmic cobalt]

and can join private lobbies etc

like broke password

[gleaming wolf]

he can read but not write.

[karmic cobalt]

Imo better way store in server storage and send via event the values

[gleaming wolf]

you dont need to share a session/lobby password to any client

[sudden igloo]

there arent really private lobbies its more like a tower defence lobby system that people can just walk in you can just kick them if you dont want them there

[gleaming wolf]

at this point just use a table

[karmic cobalt]

but hhe want use folders

or not

?

[sudden igloo]

not neccessarily just something that will work

[karmic cobalt]

but the santhegt idea its good, have a script in serverscripts, with tables of lobbies, and just inserting, deleting new lobbies with player etc eveyrthing as tables

[sudden igloo]

yeah i think ill look into this attributes thing it might be what im looking for

[karmic cobalt]

like if player create a lobby, inserting new lobby to lobby tables

and you dont need any folders

evyerthing will be stored in script not physical

in the table you can store lobby owner tho

[brazen bramble]

Ye mb

[sudden igloo]

and just pass it with events right?

[brazen bramble]

Cuz of the egg system

[karmic cobalt]

but why you need client side have the values

[sharp lagoon]

hubert

[karmic cobalt]

sup

[sudden igloo]

so the players can see whos the owner and what player is in the lobby and which map is selected

[karmic cobalt]

so for ui?

[sudden igloo]

yes

[sharp lagoon]

so i got the code, how do i paste it with the ** thing

so it comes like a code

[karmic cobalt]

like that

[sharp lagoon]

like my issue is i want simple images instead of 3D rotating pets

on display

[karmic cobalt]

yes I think send thhem via remote

if you keep tables

[sudden igloo]

ok thanks

[karmic cobalt]

what if you remove whole module 3d and create 2d module XD

[sharp lagoon]

but i got some other codes connecting to this script idk if it will work

[karmic cobalt]

I know cuz its modules script

shhow me main module

where the script are required

[sharp lagoon]

lemme show you the hatch script

not mine btw

[karmic cobalt]

will be easier if you click ctrl + f and say Module3d and send me only this line

instead whole script

[sharp lagoon]

alright, i copy paste every line with module3D?

[karmic cobalt]

yes where the moudle3d are triggered

[sharp lagoon]

alright gimme 30 sec

oops

oke here

[karmic cobalt]

so the easier way its just create new module Module2D remove module3d and swap the module3d to module2d in these scripts, in module2d just make the same function Module2d.Attach3D(and send there pet name and pet module) in script do clone viewPort, for pet sended via the function, and change the camera view to the pet model, not adding the rotating script

[sharp lagoon]

but like

i want to add images instead to the shop display

[karmic cobalt]

like your own icons?

imagelables

[sharp lagoon]

yup

[karmic cobalt]

So clone imageLabels instead vewiport and send the roblox id image instead petModel

[sharp lagoon]

do i remove the whole 3Dmodule then?

[karmic cobalt]

yeah, it easier to create own than modify it

in my opinion

[sharp lagoon]

if i make the Module3D into 2D do i need to change anything to the... hatch thign yeah

hatch script

[karmic cobalt]

you need change all the lines who triggers function in moudle3d cuz module3d not be exist anymore

btw, I dont understand why you doing the same function for every pet instead store the pet in folder and just use in pairs to trigger function for every pet instead manually writring them like module3d.Attach3d(single pet)

for _, pets in pairs (Folder:GetChildrens()) do module3d.attach3d(pets)

so why you need these lines

liek pet3 pet2 etc

[sharp lagoon]

uhm ask the guy who made this tbh

[karmic cobalt]

he is not smart then

like i dont see sense, manually send every pet in the game instead do it in loop

[sharp lagoon]

no backbiting

alright i will see what i can do tho

[karmic cobalt]

gl

[sharp lagoon]

dont really believe in luck but

i will try to fix it

also thanks

[rocky atlas]

Someone can explain me what is the error on my script. The error is argument 1 missing or nil

[karmic cobalt]

whcih line

[rocky atlas]

22

[karmic cobalt]

try before using teleportSerivce print the choosenplaceid and give me results

[rocky atlas]

Ok

[karmic cobalt]

wait I think I found problem

[quaint pine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0rIL8wKulw nahh tf

[karmic cobalt]

You doing something like that randomindex = placeid[randomNumber] and later you again try do local choosenRandomid = placeid[placeid[randomnumber]

the extra plceid its mistake

[rocky atlas]

Ok

[karmic cobalt]

random index

should be

only math random(1, #placeIds)

cuz you want get number only, not the argument of tables

and later choosenplaceId = placeIds[randomindex]

its work?

[rocky atlas]

I don't understand what I have to change

[karmic cobalt]

bruh

give me sec

[karmic cobalt]

local randomNumber = math.random(1, #placeIds)
local choosenPlaceId = placeIds[randomNumber]```

@rocky atlas

[rocky atlas]

It works

[karmic cobalt]

cool

you understand what you did?

you instead get randomNumber first you picked random children of folder , and later you tried again get random children of children folder

and its gave you nil

cuz its not exist

[rocky atlas]

Ok

Thx bro

[karmic cobalt]

no problem

[radiant island]

np

[sharp lagoon]

Hubertus

@karmic cobalt do most games uses images for their display pets or 2D module thing?

[karmic cobalt]

that depends on them , but viewport using more memory than normal images

and I dont think someone using viewport fdor 2d

[upper tiger]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/972096530330845254/1134081302233108580/caption.gif

[karmic cobalt]

viewport its using mostly for 3d

cuz as 2d its just wasting game memory

do it imagelabel

the best method its rendering image in blender

and do it as imagelabel

not veiwport

[sharp lagoon]

Soo what does game like pet simulator x use

Or 99

[karmic cobalt]

dont played it

show me reference

so I tell you

I dont play shit games sorry

[sharp lagoon]

So you saying imageLvabel better for performance?

[karmic cobalt]

yes

[sharp lagoon]

Alright thank youuu

[karmic cobalt]

viewport need renders every part

[sharp lagoon]

So if I want that do I remove my module fully?

[karmic cobalt]

for otpimlization better is imagleabel

[karmic cobalt]

wdym

[sharp lagoon]

Like you know I got module3D thing instead of turning it 2D should I just remove it fully?

[karmic cobalt]

yes

[sharp lagoon]

Do I keep hatchclient thing?

[karmic cobalt]

i dont saw your client hatch

[karmic coral]

Lf someone to make death effects on my swords (ill show u reference to what i have) paying per task pref u do vfx

[karmic cobalt]

its code disccusion channel and you search vfxer lol

[teal iris]

hey guys how can i move primaryparts through script when i have perfectionweld?

i mean i have like 3 models and in one of those models i have a primpart i wanna move but when i try to move it the entire thing gets moved

[karmic coral]

no tf

u can do it with code or vfx

i said pref u do vfx

dm me @gleaming wolf

[stable urchin]

is it really a problem though

afaik you're just talking about the instance data being present, + a rendered 2D textured

[karmic cobalt]

every veiwport need rednering the blocks if you want use camera

the imagelables its better for optimqlization

if you have like 50 viewportframes dynamics rendering the every pet in your game

better option its render the pet in blender

and upload it as imaglebael

[stable urchin]

' if you want use camera' is this a suggestion? you have to use a camera for viewports anyway

[stable urchin]

how significant is the difference in memory usage?

[halcyon marsh]

YOO I NEED QUICK HELP WITH MY CODE I WOULD PAY YOU IF YOU COULD HELP ME RN !!!
just voicechat api bugs please help me dm me

[lofty belfry]

anyone selling any simulator maps (MUST BE CUSTOM MADE NOT SOME SHIT ONE) i got 350k robux+

[karmic cobalt]

I cant you tell exactly amount cuz its impossible and depends on model etc, but like image label 20 - 50 kb and viewport 250 - 750kb

[stable urchin]

thanks

and this is for 50 pets/viewportframes?

[karmic cobalt]

no per viewport

the diffrence between them are insane big

[stable urchin]

and this is when those imagelabels/viewports are actually visible?

[karmic cobalt]

Wdym?

[stable urchin]

viewportframes only render when visible

[karmic cobalt]

yeah but for example if you have 50 pets in game and you want 3d shop for them like rotating pets in gui

doing a loop for 50 pets

rendering 50 pets in one time

its like 50k kb

and also, probably you gonna destroy the frames everytime when he close gui

and upload them again

[stable urchin]

should be negligible

[karmic cobalt]

right? when he open

[stable urchin]

huh

[karmic cobalt]

I mean render them again* depends on your script for example if you have script with one background and you looping the pets, skins, trails etc always when player click other button

and destroy previously

[stable urchin]

I don't follow

you create the viewportframe when needed

and you can recycle it, choosing to only destroy its contents

even with 50 frames, the memory footprint should be negligible, and should be a lot easier to work with

for a game I worked on I used them for a dynamic hotbar icon system

[stable urchin]

saves a lot of hassle creating icons for fifty different items

[stable urchin]

on game load I'd create all of the necessary viewports

they won't render anyway until they're shown

[karmic cobalt]

and where you store them

in module?

and just require the module

when you need?

[karmic cobalt]

hotbar its not that bad, its only few frames

but shop with like 100 rotating pets

just nah

better do render in blender

and imagelabel

[stable urchin]

why would I

you just leave them parented

[karmic cobalt]

so you creating every viewportframe on player loading, and later just change the camera pos of frame to show in shop when they click it?

[stable urchin]

if they're actively rotating then the main issue would be the performance cost from rerendering

[stable urchin]

no I just immediatly correctly sest camera cframe

and then won't touch it

set and forget

[karmic cobalt]

so where you store it

until player click shop

[stable urchin]

store what

[karmic cobalt]

the viewport frames

[stable urchin]

why would I store them

they just exist

[karmic cobalt]

i think you dont understand me

they need exist somewhere

so where they exist

like how you can later show them in store

[stable urchin]

on game load I set everything up, the viewportframes are parented under the hotbar, or in this context, under the shop grid frame

that's it

[karmic cobalt]

bur the viewport showing the renders instanlty when player loads?

[stable urchin]

practically instantly

it's no problem

[atomic aspen]

are u experienced with viewport frames? i can't figure smth out

[stiff stag]

why is every scripter on this platform suddenly so bad... 💔

[stable urchin]

I'd say so

[stiff stag]

cant find any1 good

[misty lodge]

Im good

[stiff stag]

ye sure..

[stable urchin]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/876703678566895676/1080614383614427257/05AB7836-689A-4D48-853B-5F4DA2CAEAB3.gif

[misty lodge]

lol

[atomic aspen]

my model has this white outline which i can't get rid of
im pretty sure it isn't a lighting issue since I've messed with the lighting a lot and it hasn't changed

[stable urchin]

I think you need to change background lighting

nvm

change BackgroundColor3 of viewportframe

[atomic aspen]

wtf that worked tysm

[stable urchin]

for some reason roblox doesn't allow you to change the outline width

[stable urchin]

no problem

[atomic aspen]

i made it black
any other things u recommend i do?

[stable urchin]

🤷‍♂️

what is your use case

[atomic aspen]

it's gonna be animated to bob up and down slightly and the propellers will spin
it's for a tutorial where the drone is guiding u telling u what to say

ignore the name i need to figure out smth better😭

[stable urchin]

oh

honestly nothing to say

looks good to me

[atomic aspen]

alr i appreciate ur help

[raw hollow]

whyyyyy

man i need to learn better coding

[atomic aspen]

local player on a server script doesn't work

[raw hollow]

what should i replace it with?

[stable urchin]

indexing nil

trying to retrieve a value from nil

nil means nothing, air, nada, void, doesn't exist

[raw hollow]

i know

[stable urchin]

so LocalPlayer property of Players service must be nil

if you look at docs it tells you it's only set for client

1 + 1 = 2, you cannot use it on server

[raw hollow]

a

[mental zinc]

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
local leaderstates = plr.leaderstats

[stable urchin]

nothing, in that scope there's no reason to get leaderstats

[mental zinc]

will that work? (i'm kinda rusty myself)

in terms of getting leaderstats

[stable urchin]

the player that should be affected is local to clickdetector's click event

[raw hollow]

how to find the money tho?

[stable urchin]

you must grab leaderstats from within clickdetector click event

[stable urchin]

yeah

[raw hollow]

so like a remote event?

[stable urchin]

side notes

1. please include code number lines so that it's easy for us to call out specific lines
2. you can shorten line 9 down to Money.Value += 50

[stable urchin]

in the case of clickdetector you don't have to deal with remote events

[stable urchin]

@raw hollow he gave you help

[spare widget]

Hey guys , how easy or difficult is it to create a script for a sphere to have real physics so that a player can push it uphill

[mental zinc]

basically when the function runs, player is retrieved, and you can pull it by adding it in the first parameter, note that you can call it anything. e.g.:

``Clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(apple)` apple will be the player instance

[stable urchin]

define 'real physics'

[karmic cobalt]

you can do it with just part properties xd

[spare widget]

How does that works

[spare widget]

If we push something uphill it moves up

With time and resistence

[karmic cobalt]

in part you have something called customphysics

[spare widget]

More than it is on flat land

[raw hollow]

AAAAA IT WORKSSSS, thanks to @stable urchin and @mental zinc for the help

and joey for the tip

[mental zinc]

good luck on ur developing buddy

[raw hollow]

thankss

[stable urchin]

the latter, yes, the former, I don't know what you're referring to - velocity?

[stable urchin]

nice

@raw hollow I suggest you also train yourself in using documentation

just curiously scouring through it

you'll pick up on some stuff, at least I did

roblox devforum also contains a wealth of information, if you use the right keywords you may find your answer without asking a single question

[karmic cobalt]

@raw hollow no hate but, if you tried localplayer in server script, I recommend pausing developing and learn at least basicis in programming first

[stable urchin]

this does read like hate lol

[karmic cobalt]

no its just like he cant script a whole game if he even dont know what works in local what on server

[spare widget]

In roblox studio the part does not even goes an inch uphill

[stable urchin]

initially the various properties and names can be meaningless, it takes time to build understanding

and getting bad code as example to go off of doesn't help in this process

[raw hollow]

i have seen over 7 hours of youtube tutorials (from alvinblox i think) but he never metions it for the local and sever script

[stable urchin]

to be fair depending on what you're making making a whole game is a very high bar. But doing little experiments and at least trying, will teach you a lot.

having said that

@raw hollow you should learn about the client-server model that roblox uses

[raw hollow]

aight ill try looking into that before asking here.

[stable urchin]

it's very important to fight back against exploiters

[karmic cobalt]

yeah experimetning and creating own script helps a lot for learns, but you cant make something good without good scripting i dont talk about low effort obby

[raw hollow]

👍

[sharp lagoon]

@karmic cobalt when making a display system when getting near to the model to hatch it, should I put a billboardGUI in the model?

Like the display where pets show

And you can hatch

[stable urchin]

I agree, making good, complex things requires a deep understanding of various topics to effectively combine them together

[karmic cobalt]

Yeah and use magnitude to calculate the distance between them and define max distance to show display, the billboard gui its good if you want rotating ui, its for camera movement like the ui rotation gonna follow thhe player camera, if you want to be static use part and inside part surface gui

and always use scale size and scale position instead scale offset.

scale offset should be 0 always

in uis

[stable urchin]

^ offset doesn't account for screen size, which can vary wildly

[sharp lagoon]

Hmmm alright sounds good, so you recommend me that method?, the pets won’t rotate like last time right? 😭😭

[stable urchin]

roblox studio has a feature to display various screen sizes

[karmic cobalt]

yes

[sharp lagoon]

Oke thank you

Okay another question is

[karmic cobalt]

can you show me reference what you trying do

[sharp lagoon]

If I have many eggs how do I like make it so this eggs knows what pets it should have

[sharp lagoon]

I don’t really have a reference

[stable urchin]

how do you keep track of eggs

[lofty belfry]

i got 150k i wanna make a cowboy simulator dm me if yall wanna help , give me ideas i got art work on how i want it etc.

[karmic cobalt]

what

i dont understand

[sharp lagoon]

Okay imagine you have 3 models each have 3 pets right

How do I manage what pet goes in what model

Folders?

[stable urchin]

what models

[karmic cobalt]

um i still dont understand

[stable urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/please-give-more-context-gif-22337965

[karmic cobalt]

XD

[sharp lagoon]

Aaaaa

[karmic cobalt]

we need more info

[stable urchin]

what pets, what models, what are the pets for

why is the concept 'pet' seperate from its model

[sharp lagoon]

Okay so imagine you have An egg and you go there and you see a gui and it shows the pets you can get if you hatch, each egg has 3 different pets

[karmic cobalt]

tahts the question of the day

Okay I understand it

[stable urchin]

what egg

is it physical

is it a physical object in the workspace

[karmic cobalt]

so if you have one egg and player from that egg can get 3 diffrent pets

[sharp lagoon]

Yes

[karmic cobalt]

I recommend make table and modules for them

[sharp lagoon]

Modules so the scripts don’t repeat?

[sharp lagoon]

But like if I have like different eggs and I want specific pets in different eggs then how do I do that

[karmic cobalt]

I mean i reocmmend make a EggModule and inside them make a table for eggs

like

[stable urchin]

does this imply that a given egg contains multiple pets

[sharp lagoon]

Yep

[stable urchin]

oh

are the eggs comparable to lootboxes

[sharp lagoon]

Hahaha what

[sharp lagoon]

What is the egg module supposed to do?

[karmic cobalt]

stores all your eggs

standard, premium, deluxe etc

forest, snow

idk whhat eggs you have

[sharp lagoon]

How will I make them arrange into the eggs?

[karmic cobalt]

its works liek folders

If you put the eggs in the world you can add them attribute calls "type" = "standardEgg" later in script require the module egg, and do loop inside whole module table to find if the attribute find a match in the table

and if found

you just dowloand the folders childrens from stnadradEgg

[sharp lagoon]

But I also want the images of the pets on the gui wouldn’t that make it complicated?

Also the pets do they need humanoid?

Or just a good following script?

[karmic cobalt]

Sorry bro but if you want take eveyrthing from toolbox you cant make good game

you can add images to tables too

under chance

image = id

@stable urchin i have question

[sharp lagoon]

I’m not

[sharp lagoon]

Alright thanks

[sharp lagoon]

And this?

[karmic cobalt]

pets dont need humanoid

[stable urchin]

no, image is just a string

you can stick that string anywhere

either in a config module or directly onto the pet in question

[stable urchin]

nice to know you have a question.

[lofty belfry]

paying someone 10k-20k to make me a custom simulator game fully scripted or i can bring a scripted but fully custom map dm me !

[karmic cobalt]

what simulator

@lofty belfry

[lofty belfry]

cowboy sim

i can show how u make it

[karmic cobalt]

dm

[pearl sundial]

Bro why u ghosting me

[still bison]

I know a guy who might take the offer

[finite coral]

@dense bluff

[karmic cobalt]

XD

3k for full scripted game

offer of the day'

[stable urchin]

a true salary

[karmic cobalt]

true

[pearl sundial]

He said he would pay me on Thurday and now he said he gave up on game

[tardy badge]

can we close roblox Respawn manually from settings? so that players can't kill their character by their own (pressing R)

talking about this

[karmic cobalt]

you did something for him?

[karmic cobalt]

yes you can disable it via script

give me sec

[lofty belfry]

don't know why ur laughing

u asked for 10k-20k 😂

to make one script

ur a neek

[pearl sundial]

Yeah tree model

[karmic cobalt]

like you said above XDD

good luck finding a scripter for 3k for full game XDD

[tardy badge]

oh, so i can't close it manually? sucks, waiting for your response then

[karmic cobalt]

maybe beginning junior

[lofty belfry]

nobody said for a full game mate

[karmic cobalt]

like you want disable it totally?

[lofty belfry]

u didn't even let me finish

that's why ur shit

[karmic cobalt]

yeah

[tardy badge]

yeah so players can't kill their self manually

[karmic cobalt]

i give you script give me sec

[tardy badge]

sure lemme see it

[wicked herald]

hey can i get help with something?

[still bison]

Disable resetbuttoncallback

[pearl sundial]

Like how is this fair

[tardy badge]

from where

[wicked herald]

who is it

aight thanks

[karmic cobalt]

game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCore("ResetButtonCallback", false)

you can disable almost evberything created by roblox by setcore

like inventory, leaderboard etc

[tardy badge]

i thought manually 😂 thanks!

[karmic cobalt]

its need be localscript

[tardy badge]

thanks

[karmic cobalt]

I prefer put in localscript and in repfirst

so the script instanlty triggering

[tardy badge]

yeah best to do

[karmic cobalt]

that a scam

we should report him adn he should get ban here

or you dont send him the model yet

[pearl sundial]

I didn't send the model, but I did it for his map only so no else wants it

Like I thought he was gonna pay

[karmic cobalt]

@stable urchin are you friendly with raycasting?

[karmic cobalt]

I understand

[pearl sundial]

He prepaid some else so I trusted like

[tardy badge]

hmm and ideas?

[karmic cobalt]

did you put it as localscript?

[tardy badge]

yeah

[karmic cobalt]

Try move to repstorage for a moment

and test it

or wait

im idiot

put the script in StarterPlayerScripts

not repstorage not repfirst

[karmic cobalt]

its because the script trigger intantly and CoreScript dont loaded resetbutton yet

you can also try add task.wait(1) and test it

[tardy badge]

i see, thanks!

just looked to forums, need a repeat so it doesn't fail looks like it can error sometimes, thanks tho

[karmic cobalt]

task.wait(1) shoudl works too

the resetbutton just need be loaded

in game

probably 1 seconds its enough

[lofty plinth]

There's times where it just completely fails to load so ur better off waiting till it registered via a loop or smth

[karmic cobalt]

yeah you have right

[tardy badge]

yeah thats why i think repeat would help

[karmic cobalt]

do its keeps disable when they die by other thing on map?

like fall of the map

[lofty plinth]

it should

[tardy badge]

yeah

[lofty plinth]

I personally just do this:
then after it sets to false I load everything then set the bind

[karmic cobalt]

never saw pcall for setcore but its a nice idea to do it

[stable urchin]

do you mean to ask if I'm familiar with it? yes

[lofty plinth]

u could alternatively just do

just depends on the game

[stable urchin]

that... works....

I don't blame your code

setcore is just that nice to use

[lofty plinth]

I've had core bogus not load at all so its the safest way I've had 2 do it

that includes the menu button

just not loading at all

it may of been fixed now but it was an issue when writing this

[wicked herald]

hey could i get some help?

[lofty plinth]

with?

[karmic cobalt]

I have problem with beam on my raycasting, like if player moves and shoots beams spawn behind him cuz the server not register yet the beams, its remote lag I think, i need do replication for client if i want this smoothly?

[wicked herald]

okay so when i touch a part it teleports me to the place that i want to go to and makes the gui visible

[karmic cobalt]

local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remote = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remotes"):WaitForChild("ShootRemote")

@karmic cobalt if I put a stringvalue in the pet model can I make it display image from that? And the rarity multiplayer etc? Is that a good idea?

[stable urchin]

is it serverside hitreg

if so, welcome to the world of networking

[karmic cobalt]

Yeah :C

[wicked herald]

and when i get to that place i can press the gui to go back to where i came from and also the gui goes away

[karmic cobalt]

I keep thhem server to avoid exploits form client side

[stable urchin]

you're in for a fun time

[wicked herald]

but when i die and spawn back it doesnt work

[stable urchin]

wise

[wicked herald]

it gives me an error

[karmic cobalt]

god damn, i hate doing replication

[sharp lagoon]

@stable urchin 😞

Also is it better to use serverStorage than replicated storage?

[karmic cobalt]

just do table for it

in table store rarity, images, petName

[karmic cobalt]

what if I fireAllclients, and create the beams on client? for everyone

[sharp lagoon]

Even pet name? But then how will it know what model I’m attributing these stuff to in tables?

[stable urchin]

I don't want to write paragraphs so I'll keep it brief. It takes time for information to travel from server to client (victim position replication) and back (shooting at the victim). This time is called latency. The roundtrip (to + from) is called ping. You need to compensate for ping. You keep a record of past character locations, let's say every frame, up until 2 seconds in the past. When client tells server that it hit something, the server looks back in this record based on ping, and interpolates between the two frames that surround the given ping amount. Server then uses this past position to do hit verification.

This still isn't perfect though.

[stable urchin]

wouldn't solve the problem of hitreg

[karmic cobalt]

shit

[stable urchin]

also fun fact

that caused some players in my game

to think that there was an exploiter

because projectiles didnt visibly hit

because for the victim their murderer was aiming at their past location

[stoic imp]

for _, child in pairs(Building:GetDescendants()) do
if child:IsA("BasePart") and not string.match(string.lower(child.Name), "indestructible") and child.Name ~= "MainEngine" or child:IsA("Model") or child:IsA("MeshPart") and not string.match(string.lower(child.Name), "indestructible") and child.Name ~= "MainEngine"
then child:Destroy()
end
end
can someone PLEASE make the parts that are supposed to get destroyed go underground using cframe and turning off collision then getting deleted

[karmic cobalt]

i show you how it looks current

[karmic coral]

lf a scripter that does vfx dm me i pay per death effect dms ill discuss info

[karmic cobalt]

@stable urchin

[stable urchin]

don't use the old value instances. use attributes.

[sharp lagoon]

So you want me to use Tables?

[stable urchin]

e.e.

attribute

[karmic cobalt]

Which look better

[stable urchin]

the right one

íssue with left one is contrast

the red is very dark

with the right one I don't like the shimmer on the icon

[fluid thicket]

Yo has anyone here have ever made a td game?

[oblique epoch]

lf a scripter that does vfx dm me i pay per death effect dms ill discuss info

[red snow]

How do i add dynamic face to my dummy?

[bleak glade]

right with centerted text

[vestal pumice]

the one with text is better imo

but the right one would indeed be better if th text werew centered and the heart were darker

[sharp lagoon]

But Hubertus recommended tables…

[somber vault]

just use objevtvalues

[stable urchin]

if you're already using tables, then use them

my solution isn't optimal

[sharp lagoon]

Ooh okay

Thank you tho I appreciate it

[halcyon marsh]

Hey i need Quick a Dev for Hire dm me
Really fast work please

[stable urchin]

I'm just letting you know, as a developer, I'm not interrested if there is no info

[halcyon marsh]

Obby system

[stable urchin]

expected work, amount/type of payment, ...

[halcyon marsh]

paypal or robux

im going to send you all the info in my dm

[stable urchin]

and I'd head to #scripter-hirable

[gilded dagger]

what y'all think abt attributes

[stable urchin]

They're nice. They're flexible. The get and set methods are verbose but autocomplete helps get around the extra typing work.

[lost pebble]

just replace the dummy's head for a dynamic one. or you could do the easy route and equip it on your character, play test your game, copy your character, and paste it in your game after you stop play testing. make sure to unlock it after you paste it

[nimble dawn]

Anyone know how to fix ts

I can't drag select

I can't click anything unless I click ON select

@flint shell You suck!

[elder mica]

how do i make a animation play when a player clicks the mouse button

[flint shell]

🤑

[cursive forge]

helo

Does anyone know how to change the roblox default walk animation ??

[jolly harbor]

test the game and then copy your Character's "Animate" LocalScript

inside the script it has a bunch of IDs for walking / running etc.. just replace that

[cursive forge]

Was working last year, but idk why isn't it workin this time Replaced every walk and run id alrady

[jolly harbor]

you even made sure to delete the old Animate?

[cursive forge]

Default keeps goin back for idk what reason

[cursive forge]

Just replaced it

Should i also customize the humanoiddescription?

[jolly harbor]

ngl idk what HumanoidDescription is

[cursive forge]

Same

Just found out today

Idk why roblox makin it complicated to customize animation, weird

[wide plover]

yo anyone wanna be a scripter for a game ill be a gui designer and builder/modeler

[cursive forge]

Cause the copy and pastinng of the Animate script to startercharacter works back then

[jolly harbor]

No hiring outside of marketplace

[wide plover]

who tf u

[meager lake]

So, this is my spectating system for a game I'm working on. If a player dies during an active round, the script should wait for the player's character to respawn then send them to spectate mode. It was sending them to spectate immediately after they died and the camera would reset after the player's character respawns so I made it so that the script has to wait for the character to respawn then send them to spectate but now it's not even sending them to spectate. The respawntime in explorer is set to 0.5 seconds. Here's the script, any help is appreciated:

Please help

No one in #code-help is helping

[cursive forge]

ChatGPT could help fr, this is tool ngl aint readin allat.. but use Ai to its full potential im too lazy to read

[molten creek]

.

[gaunt delta]

Does anyone know how you would go about making a car system

[meager lake]

I tried, it couldn’t get it to work either.

[cursive forge]

just debug it first every function if print etc etc else etc etc

also make sure thee character is completely added before proceeding to whatever function it is

[twilit cloud]

did roblox deprecate renderstepped?

[cosmic tinsel]

guys how would i go about making a shop and inventory system like forsaken

[compact hearth]

if i play an animation locally will other people be able to see it?

[frail yarrow]

I can help u but it would cost u a little not much

[nimble dawn]

Anyone know how to detect when a player sits on a seat

🙏

Stg if no one answers I'm js using a damn proximityprompt

[vernal pawn]

Hey - I am curious if anyone has thoughts about this.

I have a few services that need to be in a certain order when the game is compiled, but I am running into race conditions. My initial idea what that I could use InIt on my service (from flamework) for those processess; but, I also have event calls that need to be in the service but i am unsure where I should assign those.

Any advice is welcome. I tried to make a custom boot strapper but it is tricky to get everything in the correct order, although I could try again with more planning.

[glass garden]

uhh I'm gonna talk to the docs team about this

[twilit cloud]

thank you

i heard bind to render stepped also has been limited to like 30-60 fps

[glass garden]

no way, it's crucial for that to be linked to framerate. Even built in cam scripts use it

[twilit cloud]

yeah

[glass garden]

I may be doing a video with an engineer that can talk through all of those runservice things in the near future. Should hopefully clear up any of that stuff

[twilit cloud]

i will subscribe thanks

[vernal pawn]

I’m gonna try the dependency injection

[twilit cloud]

if i remember correctly yeah

animations on the character

[wet mauve]

Use arrays or tables to make an inventory

[twilit cloud]

humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("SeatPart") maybe

[twilit cloud]

^

if its nil they arent sitting on something and if it isnt then they are

[blissful wharf]

yo would any1 be down to work of commision for me

dm me for me info

[nimble dawn]

Ty

I was helped a bit ago but thanks nonetheless

[bleak glade]

why not use public booleans that yield the other scripts/ or use task.spawn if its all in script, until the boolean is true?

[nimble dawn]

The solution

Yea I named the part seat...

[vernal pawn]

What if those systems have interdependencies to each other?

[vernal pawn]

me when PascalVariable

[bleak glade]

from modules?

if they can be public just put them in replicatedstorage

[nimble dawn]

Why do I feel like that has nothing to do with sitting detection

[bleak glade]

because it doesnt

[vernal pawn]

It doesn't lol

I just was poking fun at Pascal for local variables

my friend uses snake case for literally everything

[viral cliff]

Can anyone here fix a UGC script for some $

[nimble dawn]

Should I not be using local

[bleak glade]

i use camel case

[vernal pawn]

Oh no its good, haha

[nimble dawn]

Oh I js googled it

[vernal pawn]

for local vairables i use camelCase

[nimble dawn]

I get wym

[vernal pawn]

ye its just a preference :)

[nimble dawn]

I just like

Do whatever I feel like 😭

[bleak glade]

full caps for constants

[bleak glade]

it seems i use pascal more actually

[vernal pawn]

ye

[bleak glade]

i need to learn roblox typescript

i love types

[nimble dawn]

What's this?

[bleak glade]

type assertion

[nimble dawn]

Which is like

[bleak glade]

it asserts something as it

so that now has the functionality of a screengui in the script

[nimble dawn]

Asserts in what manner

Oh

[bleak glade]

i can get its properties

like filled in

[nimble dawn]

Oh is that type script

exclusive

[bleak glade]

no its just declared at the top

[nimble dawn]

Which

[bleak glade]

its helpful to have

and its something i whished i learned how to use earlier

[nimble dawn]

Okay so is THAT type script

[bleak glade]

no

[nimble dawn]

.

[bleak glade]

its apart of my signalNET

you dont need a script that is just types

and honestly its kinda bad for organization to have, unless its for a framework

[nimble dawn]

I have

I no longer have

[nimble dawn]

What's that...

[bleak glade]

my framework

[nimble dawn]

Like

[bleak glade]

it uses custom threads and custom remote events and functions

[nimble dawn]

No wonder I'm so confused

[bleak glade]

you havent heard of those yet?

[somber vault]

does anybody know how a Roblox Lua tool script for a "Hammer" tool it the Hammer is a tool, and I want to use raycasting. it can attach parts/models that have a "Placeable" Tag? because I have tried everything and nothing seems to work 😭

[nimble dawn]

Of frameworks?

[bleak glade]

threads and remote events/functions

[nimble dawn]

No I have

Just was trying to understand the code

[bleak glade]

frameworks are usually just a ton of modules that can be used across games that complete like a broad task to make it easier

its purpose is to make a normal roblox thing easier really

[nimble dawn]

Like react

?

[bleak glade]

i havent used react but yeah i think

[stable verge]

Whats react?

[nimble dawn]

JS react

[nimble dawn]

Neither have I it's just something I know of

[steel ferry]

hello pls answer this qs why does a character act weird when hit and then reset it does not die but instead the health goes to 0 and again goes up

[bleak glade]

i dont really try to learn frameworks outside roblox, just languages

i need to learn more rust

[graceful oxide]

What exactly do people use rust for? Seen and read all about on memes and such, but those are like the only places rust is ever mentioned

[bleak glade]

its memory safe which i believe is the big reason its good, has oop, enum, and some type of garbage collection

[graceful oxide]

What industries make use of it?

[bleak glade]

are you checking processreceipt

no.. where do i find that

[bleak glade]

MarketplaceService.ProcessReceipt

check if the ID matches the product id

The developer product works, its just the announcment of buying it in chat isnt working

like showing that the user bought it isnt working

Building system with snapping is really difficult to write for some reason

I need help. I'm trying to write a building system with snapping. The snapping size is 4. I want it to work in a 4 by 4 grid. All parts' axes are multiples of the snap size (4, 8, 12, etc). I got it to work multiple times when the size is Vector3.new(4, 4, 4) but it was always offset in an odd way with different sizes, such as (4, 16, 4). I want it to work with normals as well.

I am a professional developer and have been for 6+ years, but I have been stuck on this for 2 weeks+ and AI is not helping either. Can you?

[hardy pilot]

Atp give up

How do you have 6 years of experience and cant make a grid WITH AI that can mostly do it by itself already

[blissful wharf]

u just made me look at what he was talking about and i got flash banged

[wet mauve]

Ai usually gives the general idea but from my experience the code usually doesn’t work and i have to make my own version

[hardy pilot]

A grid system

Its so common 💔

https://tenor.com/view/angry-bird-злая-птица-gif-11035121084204696939

[wet mauve]

Would still be difficult if hes never done one or something similar before

And common doesnt mean the ai will get it right

[hardy pilot]

It mostly does

Because it has many references to copy from

[dusky relic]

Man needs to switch career fields

[dusky relic]

Not really, just take the current mouse position and round it to the nearest multiple of 4

If you want a special grid you'll just need to use object space

[wispy fulcrum]

How can I make an "NPC" car? I want to have a car that simply moves along a surface (if it can it would be awesome if it can turn around corners and go up and down) and then do damage if a player or an NPC collide with it?

[dusky relic]

I.e. not bound by the world Cartesian plane

[dusky relic]

You'll need to be more specific, where do you want to use this

[wispy fulcrum]

on my map on roads

[dusky relic]

Hmmm, that's quite difficult 🤔

There's hundreds of ways to do this

[wispy fulcrum]

if it just needs to be straight lines thats perfectly usable for me too

[wispy fulcrum]

I want the stupidest dumbest most braindead ez way cus I dont know 98% of wtf im doing scripting

anything scripting Im doing is reverse engineering or brute forcing scripts lol

I have the car model I want

[dusky relic]

One subpar but easy option would be to just use tween service and tweening the model between points that you manually placed on the roads

[wispy fulcrum]

any examples?

[dusky relic]

Just go to developer resources or ask AI, since it's quite elementary

[wispy fulcrum]

im braindead as shit but just barley enough to recognize...AI isnt good at ts?

[dusky relic]

Ts?

[wispy fulcrum]

this shit

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dusky relic]

Just ask it how to use tween service to tween a models cframe

Just note that this is the worst way to do this

[wispy fulcrum]

i already am tryna have like 20-30 pathfinding NPCS, and like 15 cars, how bad for lag am I looking

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

local car = workspace:WaitForChild("Car")
local carPart = car.PrimaryPart or car:FindFirstChild("Body")

local startPoint = workspace:WaitForChild("StartPoint")
local endPoint = workspace:WaitForChild("EndPoint")

-- Tween settings
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
    5,                      -- Time (adjust speed here)
    Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
    Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
    0,
    false,
    0
)

local goal = {}
goal.CFrame = endPoint.CFrame

-- Create the tween
local moveTween = TweenService:Create(carPart, tweenInfo, goal)

-- Damage on touch
local damage = 30
local touchedConnections = {}

local function onTouched(otherPart)
    local character = otherPart:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
    local humanoid = character and character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")

    if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 then
        humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
    end
end

-- Connect touch events for all parts of the car
for _, part in ipairs(car:GetDescendants()) do
    if part:IsA("BasePart") then
        local conn = part.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
        table.insert(touchedConnections, conn)
    end
end

-- Start the tween
car:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(startPoint.CFrame)
moveTween:Play()``` this is what ChatGPT gave me

[dusky relic]

If you use tween service for cars there'll be no performance impact

[wispy fulcrum]

alr

[wet mauve]

linear velocity or tweens

[dusky relic]

Utterly dogshit AI code😭

[wispy fulcrum]

well you said to use ai

id prefer if there was some1 on yt that had a tutorial

but nah lol

i cant find one

[dusky relic]

Yeah, makes sense since what you want to do is quite difficult

[wet mauve]

sir did you just try to set the CFrame of a table

[dusky relic]

Difficult to do good

[dusky relic]

It's for the properties for tween service

[wispy fulcrum]

AI generated code by chatgpt

[wet mauve]

didnt realize that lol i rarely use tweens cause whenever i use them my game crashes

[dusky relic]

Why does your game crash??

[wet mauve]

no idea

i tried to use tweens to move a character when the character uses an ability but the game crashes if i spam the ability

[dusky relic]

You shouldn't use tweens for that

[wet mauve]

i didnt know align position or linear velocity existed

[dusky relic]

Custom physics engine

[wispy fulcrum]

ive got like 300 bobux I can withdraw from my group tmr if anyone can help- (i know that shits pennies to ppl but ive been getting scripts for 100 each and a few systems for 500)

[dusky relic]

Will always be the best solution

[wet mauve]

dawg you can just learn how to tween or use linear velocity/align position in like 5 minutes

[wispy fulcrum]

with 0 knowledge of scripting prior?

i would be interested lol

[wet mauve]

how are you ever gonna learn

[wispy fulcrum]

Im not really trying to learn im just tryna make a game

if i pick up bits and bobs along the way then thats a great side effect

but i just want smth to work and dont always care how it happens

[wet mauve]

you cant make a game if you dont know how to implement the code you copy and paste

[wispy fulcrum]

thats why Ive been loving youtuber tutorials cus they tell you

or paying a couple other scripters for one or two odd scripts

[wet mauve]

[wispy fulcrum]

mate im just tryna make a game this week, I already have a guy who might agree to make me my lil dealership system where you buy a car and it spawns, and then if you already bought it once you own it so you dont gotta pay 60k every time to spawn it in

a money rob system

ACS has been...interesting to also implement

I just wanna get the game out, lowk the NPCs are just fancy atp, but it makes the game feel more "lived in" which is why if I can find a free way to do it, or something that works within my budget, I wanna do it

I think the last bits I need is the dealership car system, and to fix the gun store bug where if I have multiple gunstores it breaks LOL, but I can live with just 1 gun store

or I can brute force just making a new gun store, copying old scripts and pasting them in the same way they were there and changing the name/directory

ANYWAYS

@wet mauve even if theres documentation for this, or a written step by step, a link or sm would be nice, cus Idk where to look tbh

all ive tried looking at is https://create.roblox.com/docs/players but nothing screamed to me that thing u said

[hardy pilot]

💔

[wet mauve]

youtuube, dev forum

[hardy pilot]

Just learn scripting

[wispy fulcrum]

I really just dont want to if I absolutley do not have to and rather pay some1 else for it if I can afford it

[hardy pilot]

You cant afford to pay someone

[wispy fulcrum]

I mean I have been

up to this point ive found a few ppl for the individual scripts so far, or at least a very small base to try my best to expand on

[wet mauve]

thats the equivalent of "i dont wanna learn how to use my car, i would rather pay someone else to drive me around in it"

[wispy fulcrum]

yea that sounds about right

not really even being sarcastic

besides the point tho

[wispy fulcrum]

b4 yall harass me I just dont like to drive

[hardy pilot]

You cant hope to make a game with 500 robux and no special skill.

If youre so determined it shouldnt be much of an issue

[wet mauve]

you cant make a game if you dont wanna learn how to make one

unless you plan on throwing money at all your problems

[wispy fulcrum]

i mean i have a deadline, not long enough to sit down and learn how to script rn, I am moving to a different country for 2 years w/o wifi

[hardy pilot]

Too bad I'm afraid

[wispy fulcrum]

ill be gone by mid may lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iK25glVhUw found this I might be good

took only 3 days to find it lol

i went to the 4th page of google 💀

[hardy pilot]

What the fuck 😭

[wispy fulcrum]

what

[hardy pilot]

FE!!
BEST WAY!!!

[wispy fulcrum]

if it works it works

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hardy pilot]

Ill be the judge of that

[wispy fulcrum]

lmfao

[hardy pilot]

Yeah thats the most booty way Ive seen

Im questioning if its ironic

It uses a value to replicate a cframe from server to client ruining the whole point of doing it on the client

[wispy fulcrum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgteWmiAweI found this other one that was shorter too and looking at it

[hardy pilot]

Well at least this one has no useless detour

[wispy fulcrum]

[hallow crag]

[wispy fulcrum]

[hallow crag]

[wispy fulcrum]

OH

[stiff cave]

No, I'm not like that hopefuy

Hopefully

[thick sluice]

i am so good at coding i should get hired fr fr

[lime relic]

is there any reason other than version control to use rojo?? is it just for looking cool or smthn

[dark coral]

some people prefer vsc over the standard roblox code editor because it makes them more productive

[granite quarry]

can i ask for surface gui help here?

[lime relic]

yeah or #interface

[granite quarry]

Kk

[ornate needle]

anyone have a ready skydiving script here

[granite quarry]

So when a player moves away from another player, you can see that their [ SURFACE GUIS ] move a bit away but when viewed directly from on top, they are in place

How do i make it so the surface guis don't move sideways like that

when you view it from far

[hallow crag]

what u tryna make exactly?

[granite quarry]

So this is a player pov, their camera views their object from exactly the top

that 71 and that colorful image on it is a surface gui

[granite quarry]

when another player looks at another player from far away, their surface gui appears like this

[hallow crag]

oh i see

is the surface gui position

changing?

in any way

[hallow crag]

its doesnt look centered

[granite quarry]

No

[granite quarry]

it's centered when it's your pov

[hallow crag]

have you tried comparing the position

[humble flume]

Scale them

[hallow crag]

between not in ur pov

[humble flume]

Don’t use offset

You can use plugins to auto convert offset to scale

[hallow crag]

yeah buts its centered

in his pov

but not others

its not scaling issue

[humble flume]

If it isn’t then I am not sure

[granite quarry]

As in? Well if you're far away from another player you can see their surface gui gets a bit off

otherwise if you're close to them

it's fine

[hallow crag]

is the anchor point 0.5, 0.5

[humble flume]

Seems to be a scaling issue to me idk

[hallow crag]

and have u checked if its in offset

not scale

[granite quarry]

It's in scale

[humble flume]

What about the surfacegui

I’m sure they have a property for that too

[granite quarry]

the surfacegui itself doesn't have any size property

the image does

[humble flume]

I must be confusing it with billboard gui then. I’ll be honest and say I have no idea about this then

I’m sorry I couldn’t help more

[granite quarry]

That's fine 👍

[hallow crag]

yeah and is the image in scale

and the anchor point is 0.5, 0.5

[gloomy kraken]

bro might be the goat

[next escarp]

local partIsTouched = false

local touchPart = game.Workspace.TouchPart

touchPart.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
    if partIsTouched == false then
        partIsTouched = true
        print(otherPart)
    end    
end)

Whats wrong here

[wet basalt]

According to the doc an animator object in order to replicate must be instantiated on the server side. Which means you would have to play the tracks server side, right?

[strange harbor]

if i wanna send a webhook msg when my gamepass is bought this script would work right?

[lofty plinth]

Discord blocks it

u'd need to use smth like cloudflare

also u might wanna delete that as it has ur webhook url

[strange harbor]

its not the fulll

its more url

[lofty plinth]

its still a big giveaway

[strange harbor]

actually i wanted to create an automated middleman bot

[hardy pilot]

Too late

Sending all the requests!!

[wet basalt]

Up

[spring glade]

how much yall think a horror game with 2-3 mechanics and a lobby coded should cost?

[ionic oar]

u never set partistouched back to false

[ionic oar]

no you just need to create(instantiate) it on the server.

[wet basalt]

Indeed

[nimble skiff]

u need to set the partIsTouched variable to false again

after the print(otherPart.Name) put a task.wait(time before detecting the touch again) and then set the partIsTouched to false

also u did print(otherPart). print the otherPart.Name

thats ur choice tho

[timber bramble]

you can do```lua
touchPart.Touched:Once(function(otherPart)
...
end)

[raw hollow]

so, i have come here once again to ask for help.

i want to make it stop there (so it dont disapears) when u have full inv, how to i make that happen, what i need to put in the "else" section???

[frigid thorn]

Huh wdym

If it's collected you want it to disappear?

[raw hollow]

yeah uhhh nvm, its too difficult even for the ai

[frigid thorn]

Nah I just don't understand what you want to do

[raw hollow]

its like when u touch a chocolate u get it as collected item

and u can sell it by touching some pad

and i just want to make so when u have full inv it doesn't disappear

(cuz it disappears and respawn after 1 second)

[frigid thorn]

I'd make a new if statement

If collected.value is less than 5 then do the things it's supposed to do when collected

If collected.value == 5 then return end

Like that you mean?

[raw hollow]

can't i do like

else
return end

?

[frigid thorn]

Yeah sure

But place the transparency changing and all to the if collected statement

Where you add the +1

[misty lodge]

what type

like little kid horror or actual horror

[raw hollow]

i tried the return thing but i added onTouch instead of end

[frigid thorn]

Did it work?

[raw hollow]

something like that?

[frigid thorn]

Try

But you have an extra end somewhere

[misty lodge]

its after the return

he dont need the end

[frigid thorn]

Yeah

[raw hollow]

after the first sell it doesn't give me the chocolate

taht happen with the return onTouch

[frigid thorn]

Reset the value

In the sell script

Cuz now I think the issue is when you sell, the value stays at 5

[raw hollow]

here the sell script

[raw hollow]

hmm

lemme check

a?

value inside the char

dont think it will work

[frigid thorn]

Hmm

It would work the same

[raw hollow]

so i think its trying to give me a 6th chocolate

so its stuck

cuz if i leave on time i can take again

another five

but if i sit there and try to take another one its just bugs

[frigid thorn]

Check the output or something

And add a print to the else return end

Something like ("full inv")

[raw hollow]

it doesn't repeat or start again

it jsut stuck on the return end

[frigid thorn]

I think the selling doesn't work

Neither the leaderstats

Idk if you sold it

But collected says 0

And add a print to the selling too

[raw hollow]

selling is good

now idk how to check for leaderstats

[frigid thorn]

Record a vid of the whole process

[raw hollow]

can i show u on livestream, cuz it takes too much space and discord wont let me upload

[frigid thorn]

Alr

@raw hollow

Where does the stack end

There's an error

[raw hollow]

aa

i got another 1 working with me

that is his work

[frigid thorn]

Do : wait for child

Ah

[raw hollow]

my workl is the one i send and i am working on rn

[frigid thorn]

Maybe try to remove the return
