[raw hollow]

uhhh

man he is stupid

no u

my teammate

he removed the whole script

yeah ill just work on it, sorry for the waste of time have a good day.

[frigid thorn]

No worries

[somber vault]

Theirs no audio, I suggest adding some music and mabye captions so they know what to do

Mabye even a voice over

[wicked herald]

can i get some help with a code?

[pearl blaze]

If I remove the instance will it be removed in overlap/raycast params?

I'm worried about a memory leak

[bleak glade]

i need to see the code to help

[limpid shale]

Workspace.Cow.Beef.Script:15: attempt to index nil with 'WaitForChild'

how can i fix this problem?

[bleak glade]

theres no waitforchild in this script

[stuck radish]

Show the correct script

[wicked herald]

alr gimme a sec imma send the ss

this

[limpid shale]

then how can i get the leaderstats without it?

[bleak glade]

player is nil

why do people do hit.parent

[wicked herald]

the thing is it isnt

[bleak glade]

and not findfirstancestorwhichisa

[wicked herald]

could u help me with that

cuz my code works like fully

but it gives me that error and when i respawn it doeesnt work

[bleak glade]

define the character as local Char = hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model") :: Model

then plug it in to find the player from the character

[wicked herald]

wdym by this

i added the var above

[wicked herald]

but i dont understand this

[bleak glade]

replace hit.Parent with the one i just told you

[wicked herald]

ahhhhhhh

[limpid shale]

how can i identifiy leaderstats then?

[bleak glade]

i dont know why hit.Parent is the "default" people think of for finding character from hit

the hit can be an accessory and end up being deeply nested

[wicked herald]

bro no way this fixed that

bruh thank you so so so so much

i have had this problem for like 4 days now

[bleak glade]

yeah exactly, hit.parent is a stupid way to find a character from a touch event

[wicked herald]

i mean yeah it works sometimes and sometimes it doesnt like wth

[bleak glade]

do the same thing i did for the other guyh

local character = hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model") :: Model

[wicked herald]

also could u help me understand what that code actually means ion want to be a dumb ass i wanna actually learn what it means

[wicked herald]

this line

i want to know what it does

[limpid shale]

do i have to change "Model"?

[bleak glade]

its a tree traversal search

[wicked herald]

ahh alr ty

[bleak glade]

2 or 4 could technically be the be the hit

maybe even an 8

i dont know how nested it gets

[wicked herald]

god damn u got knowledge

[bleak glade]

well not really i couldnt make that search on my own

thankfully roblox made it

[wicked herald]

yeah

anyways ty again i almost lost the motivation to work on this game i had gotten help from 4 different programmers and searched the entire internet

[thick sluice]

i think this is better res then the last one i made

[karmic coral]

who scripts + does vfx i need sword effects for my game dm for details i pay per task

[limpid shale]

it couldnt identify leaderstats at all

[wicked herald]

#scripter-hiring

[bleak glade]

hit.Parent

https://tenor.com/view/cat-sock-worm-gif-7195073330628255153

[thick sluice]

?

[bleak glade]

just scroll up

[thick sluice]

yes

you said "hit.Parent"

[bleak glade]

why do people think hit.Parent is the best way to find the character

[bleak glade]

this is imo

[limpid shale]

it still couldnt identifiy

dont blame me if i was dumb

[bleak glade]

your error isnt even from this script

[limpid shale]

then from what?

[wicked herald]

ay bro i need another help

when i die and respawn the code doesnt work

but the gui is still there

[bleak glade]

the ui?

[wicked herald]

yup it is supposed to become invisible

and teleport me back to the spawn

[bleak glade]

turn resetondeath off on the ui

[limpid shale]

those error at the bottom doesnt belong to anything

[wicked herald]

i did that already

[limpid shale]

like a bug

[bleak glade]

then whats it doing

[bleak glade]

you have no error from that script you showerd me

[wicked herald]

what its doing is making the gui invisible but it isnt teleporting me back to the spawn

i tihnk the error is that the code cant identify the player after it dies

idk how to fix that

[bleak glade]

youre also checking hit.parent stuff at the top, try my way and make sure the model has a "Cow" child

[bleak glade]

Humanoid.Died

[wicked herald]

so i should make it when the humanoid dies it makes the gui invisible

and when it respawns back

it becomes visible again is that right?

[bleak glade]

if thats what youre trying to do, yes

died, make it invisible, character added, its visible again

[limpid shale]

but when i touch the part it doesnt give anything or show me any error and not working

[wicked herald]

alr tysm

[bleak glade]

thats probably because your if statements at the top

[fringe barn]

someone hire me!! i need money

[wicked herald]

#scripter-hirable

[fringe barn]

cant post there

[ionic oar]

send code i don't think you sent the right one earlier. it might help to name your scripts

[limpid shale]

I re did the script but doesnt send any error

[ionic oar]

so is there still a problem?

[limpid shale]

yes

[ionic oar]

what is the value of MeatVal

also the script is disabled

[limpid shale]

I enabled it first

[limpid shale]

the amount of meat that you get

[ionic oar]

make sure its not 0 and put a print after the if statement to see if exeuctions gets passed that if

[limpid shale]

it works when it is touched

but doesnt work when i try to make me get currency

[ionic oar]

then Meat doesn't exist

are you sure the leaderstats and leaderstats.Meat exists?

[limpid shale]

yes

I tried another way in the script

now the problem is the leaderstats

[ionic oar]

wym

[limpid shale]

when i touch the part, its sends me Workspace.Cow.Beef.MeatCollect:13: attempt to index nil with 'FindFirstChild'

[ionic oar]

what is the new code

[ionic oar]

you aren't checking if hit.Parent has a humanoid

add that to the if statement

[limpid shale]

still with the same error

Workspace.Cow.Beef.MeatCollect:13: attempt to index nil with 'FindFirstChild'

[ionic oar]

so it seems like leaderstats doesn't exist

[lean ocean]

if not Player then return end

there u go

or it's the leaderstats

[ionic oar]

i think its the leaderstats i doubt something with a humanoid thats not a player is touching this part

[limpid shale]

is it checking the charcter or the player?

wait

i think it worked

it worked

[ionic oar]

what did you change

[limpid shale]

I added what frosty said

its said the same error but somehow worked

[proud idol]

BeefModel.Touched:Connect(function(Hit : Model)
    local Player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
    if not Player then return end
    
    Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):FindFirstChild("Meat").Value += Amount
end)

[proud idol]

Also the error is prob bc NPC's can also trigger the event, given that you check for humanoid instead of actually checking if its a player

[cosmic schooner]

function StartTutorial()
    print('starting')
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
    local cloned_element = UIs_Module.HighLight(Announcements_Frame)

end
StartTutorial()

is this a good way to make a tutorial game ?

[timber bramble]

idk

[proud idol]

theres plenty of ways to make a tutorial

theres not really a true definite right way

[wicked herald]

uh yoda

could i myabe get some help with this

[chrome thicket]

is anyone willing to volontear to help me with something

[bleak glade]

with what

[wicked herald]

so the entire gui is fixed now

[spark yarrow]

guys can yall name me a fair price for someone to optimize a roblox obby? im not good at scripting

[wicked herald]

but when i reset the gui doesnt teleport me back to spawn

when i click on it

it does remove the gui when i click on it but doesnt teleport me

[bleak glade]

i just looked backa t your code

[wicked herald]

and the teleport and resetting the gui lines and in the same function

[proud idol]

if you dont know how to code, why are you trying to optimize

[bleak glade]

why do you have nested touched events

[proud idol]

oh wait

[wicked herald]

wdym

[proud idol]

nvm im stupid nvm

[wicked herald]

OH NO

[bleak glade]

a touched event inside a touched event

[proud idol]

i guess it depends on how are they gonna recode ur obby

[wicked herald]

this my new code

[spark yarrow]

cuz its crashing players and it uses high cpu, but my knowledge is 0 lol

[wicked herald]

i was on some drugs before

[bleak glade]

still a little weird to nest a connection inside a connection like that

[wicked herald]

i made it better and removed the ones i didnt need

[proud idol]

dont do this btw (handling gui in server)

[bleak glade]

yeah you could put that all on the client

[wicked herald]

like local scripts and in the starterplayerscripts?

[bleak glade]

yes

[wicked herald]

ah

[bleak glade]

or a replicaterdstorage script

that has client runcontext

[wicked herald]

alr ill try that maybe it fixes the problem

[bleak glade]

you can run normal scripts in the character too btw

[proud idol]

server would need to fire a remote that the client uses to reveal the leave game button

[wicked herald]

okay so the thing is

how do i refer to the part in my script

its in the starter player scripts now

before it was a children of the part

[proud idol]

you need multiple scripts

[wicked herald]

so all i had to was script.parent

[bleak glade]

find where its located in workspace

[wicked herald]

i did that but it gives me an error alr but ill give it a go again

[bleak glade]

waitforchild

[wet basalt]

If a client call LoadAnimation on the animator which is server side, and then play the track, will the track also be replicated onto the server?

[bleak glade]

you can also make your code cleaner by using guard clauses

[proud idol]

I could take a look at it if u want me to

[bleak glade]

if not player then return end, instead of if player then

[wicked herald]

i did this

its where the part is located

instead of script.parent

[bleak glade]

waitforchild if it doesnt load

[proud idol]

waitforchild my guy

[wicked herald]

should i do game.workspace:waitforchild?

[bleak glade]

no...

on the actual part

teleport

[wicked herald]

ahhhhhhhh

omg im dumb alr

[wet basalt]

If the answer is yes, that would be a weird thing to do because it would consume server resources for nothing

[spark yarrow]

sure, its group game tho

[bleak glade]

you shouldnt need multiple wait for childs, only one on a part like that

[proud idol]

you can downlaod a copy of the game and send me that

[bleak glade]

and put it on the last one

[wicked herald]

may ik why wait for child is so important there?

[bleak glade]

the client takes a while to load in

[proud idol]

in the client instances are not immediatly loaded when the script runs

[bleak glade]

as its taking a copy from the server

[wicked herald]

ahhhhhhh

alr ty

[proud idol]

waitforchield yields the script (aka stops it) until the instnce is loaded or it timeouts if it cant find it

[bleak glade]

make sure you dont do something like game.Workspace["Teleportation Portals"]:WaitForChild("Portal2"):WaitForChild("Teleport")

you will only ever need one wait for child

and it would go on the last instance

[wicked herald]

okay so its glitching out

it teleports me to the spawn but my character like disappears

my camera is at the spawn but my character isnt

after 2 seconds i go to a random place and i can only see the sky

[bleak glade]

show the script again

[bleak glade]

still dont know why you nested your connections

[wicked herald]

can u explain that one in monkey terms

im new to coding

my simple brain cant under this

[bleak glade]

a mousebutton1click is inside a touched connection

[wicked herald]

understand

[wicked herald]

so should i make a new function outside of the touched event

[bleak glade]

yea

you can use a boolean and set it to true if they touchedi t

[wicked herald]

ahhhh

alr

okay if i do that then i cant access the variables above like char and player

how do i fix that

[bleak glade]

move it ouside the scope

you dont even need to define the character as the hit anymore, if its local it will already know

local Plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local Char = Plr.Character or Plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

on characteradded redefine the character and humanoid if you use

[wicked herald]

alr

yep i fixed that

but there is still an error

the error isnt fixed i just teleport to a random place

[bleak glade]

you should be teleporting to that vector

[wicked herald]

alr im gon teleport to a different place lemme see

[wicked herald]

what the hell it teleports me to that location but my camera keeps on moving like crazy and after 2 seconds it just dies

[bleak glade]

instead trying Char:PivotTo(Vector3.new(-9.348, 5.473, 32.468))

wait

it expects a cframe iirc

[wicked herald]

alr

[bleak glade]

Char:PivotTo(CFrame.new(Vector3.new(-9.348, 5.473, 32.468)) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0))

[wicked herald]

alr trying it

oh

my

lord

it finally works

tysm brother

[bleak glade]

np

[wicked herald]

like for what reason it requires :pivotto

or cframe

and why not the humanoidrootpart's position

[bleak glade]

pivot is for moving the whole model i think

[viral knot]

Nobody is helping in code help so ima ask here

Anyone got an idea how to make it so when a user follows me and they rejoin they receive a prize like a pet in game for example ? And after they receive it they can’t get it again

If it’s even possible

[bleak glade]

cframes are more precise vector3s

cframes are 4x4 matrices

[wicked herald]

ahhhhh gotcha

[bleak glade]

| Right.X Up.X -Look.X Position.X |
| Right.Y Up.Y -Look.Y Position.Y |
| Right.Z Up.Z -Look.Z Position.Z |
| 0 0 0 1 | i think this is right

the 4th row is for the affine transformation iirc? hardly understand what it means but just know its usually 0 0 0 1

[wicked herald]

ah alr

ty

[bleak glade]

roproxy service

[wicked herald]

BUT THE THING IS STILL GIVING ME THE ERROR

OMG

[bleak glade]

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local success, result = pcall(function()
        return HttpService:GetAsync("https://friends.roproxy.com/v1/users/"..player.UserId.."/followings")
    end)

    if success then
        local data = HttpService:JSONDecode(result).data
        local followsTarget = false

        for _, follow in pairs(data) do
            if follow.id == targetUserId then
                followsTarget = true
                break
            end
        end

        if followsTarget then
            player.TotalBoostLuck.Value = player.TotalBoostLuck.Value + 0.15
        end
    else
        warn("Failed to check follow status:", result)
    end
end) ```

make targetID your id and change the boost to whatever

[bleak glade]

whats the error

[wicked herald]

its disabling the gui but it isnt teleporting me back to the spawn

[viral knot]

Ty

[wicked herald]

there is no error shown in the output but it isnt working

[bleak glade]

did you die when that happened?

[wicked herald]

yes

after i respawn

[bleak glade]

you didnt redefine your character

[wicked herald]

and reset on spawn is disabled

[wicked herald]

thats what i need help with

i have been trying to do that but i found like 10 more errors and i fixed them but i cant fix the error that im trying to fix

[bleak glade]

local Plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Char = Plr.Character or Plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()


Plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(NewChar : Model)
    Char = NewChar
end) ```

[wicked herald]

bruh how do u do this shi 😭

[bleak glade]

wdym

[wicked herald]

ur just talented 😭

okay so i can understand everything except the plr.characteradded part

why did u add that

[bleak glade]

ty, look at documentation it helps learn roblox API

[bleak glade]

because thats a new character

[old atlas]

Can y'all help me

[wicked herald]

yeah i learned half of what i know from documentation and yt

what does newchar : model do?

[bleak glade]

when you die and dont add that, it was referencing the old character

[wicked herald]

ahhh

[bleak glade]

thats a type check

[old atlas]

Where the scripts at

[wicked herald]

ohhh i see

[bleak glade]

the first param on characteradded is the character, saying : Model means its type is a model

[wicked herald]

replacing the old char with new

[wicked herald]

alr alr

[wicked herald]

ooo

ty

oh yes it works now tysm

[wild heath]

a

[deft pasture]

yall im a solo dev, who wants to try my game i have really good system and i want to know any improvements on what to add?

[final cargo]

i want to make a function that spawns in different types (like shopper, criminal etc) of npcs simultaneously
i was thinking about creating a thread, for each npc type, with a while true loop that spawns the npcs of its type every random seconds

can anyone help me on the best way to go about this

im not sure my idea is efficient

[deft pasture]

your idea sounds fantastic! it really depends on what you want pacifically.

[final cargo]

wdym pacifically?

[trim dove]

Put the buttons less on the edges when doing the minigame.

Also where do I sell

[craggy niche]

he means specifically

[deft pasture]

like so you basically explained that you want an npc that spawns with a diffrent outfit randomly, correct?

[final cargo]

its not really a different outfit

its actually the action he's supposed to do

for example a shopper npc is going to go shopping

[deft pasture]

you cant sell yet 😓 im a solo developer does the game look for 3 days? as a really busy person

[final cargo]

a criminal npc is going to do criminal stuff

[bleak glade]

are you using oop to construct the npcs?

[final cargo]

yes

[trim dove]

Add a smaller bounding box for the buttons.

[static coral]

you can make a spawner function that takes in argument for type of npc and maybe amount and then just do get a random npc and call it with task.delay inside of itself

[craggy niche]

i would make an array of all the possibilities, then loop through them using random function if u want it random

[final cargo]

what im trying to do is similar to restaurant tycoon ,where each player has its own restaurant and each restaurant (im guessing) has its own npcSpawn function

the thing is, a game like restaurant tycoon would only have "eater" npcs

[bleak glade]

are you using subclasses or extending your npcs? Criminal = setmetatable({}, (__index = NPC}) or something else

[final cargo]

and in my game i have airports instead of restaurants, so in an airport npcs do different stuff

[deft pasture]

are you using pc or phone? on the game

[final cargo]

yea but depending on the type of npc i also have different behaviors you know

i mean the behavior is the same (following a pre-defined path), but different type = different path

[static coral]

just make a dictionary with functions that control the behaviour and then call it based on the npc. you can have the npc’s name as the key for example

[final cargo]

like, the "shopper" npcs should follow the path that leads them to the shop

[bleak glade]

if youre using subclasses just use polymorphism to override the existing spawnfunction on the main class

[final cargo]

the "eater" npcs should follow the path that leads them to the restaurant

[final cargo]

not using metatables because they're complicated

[bleak glade]

i thougght you said you were using oop

[static coral]

dont use them either they are bad for oop

[bleak glade]

polymorphism is the best use case for different functions that inherit off the main class

[final cargo]

i just pass the instance as the first parameter

[bleak glade]

why not use Npc:getMode()

it will automatically pass self

[final cargo]

because it has fundamental flaws i cant remember

[bleak glade]

none ive heard of

[final cargo]

i cant attach links

[bleak glade]

so your constructor passing in the mode such as criminal and shopper?

[static coral]

that video is about not using metatables

[final cargo]

i havent defined the various modes yet

[static coral]

you are not using metatables so you can still use methods

[final cargo]

exactly

[static coral]

as in : functions

well either way even with metatables you can still use methods

[final cargo]

i am using methods just not directly on the instance

[bleak glade]

sounds like youre overcomplicating it

[static coral]

theres no point tho

[final cargo]

it is a little verbose

but it looks clear enough to me

can we go back to the npc problem pls btw lol

[bleak glade]

you dont have a constructor

so im not sure how to help

[final cargo]

i do

[bleak glade]

? i thought you werent using oop

[final cargo]

i am using oop

just not with metatables

[bleak glade]

ok interesting

[final cargo]

metatables just make it so u can call the methods directly on the instance

like npcInstance:getGender()

[static coral]

no

[final cargo]

the way i do it is Npc.getGender(npcInstance)

[static coral]

methods can be attached to any table

[hasty mesa]

metatables just make it so you don't have to store the methods in the same table

[static coral]

metatables are for manipulating/overriding table behaviour

[final cargo]

okay

[bleak glade]

i think using one would help you

[static coral]

which is against the core idea of oop and it makes it slower 💔

[final cargo]

honestly i couldnt really understand metatables so i decided to use oop this way

[bleak glade]

yeah its not real oop in lua but it works

[static coral]

metatables are bad for oop

[static coral]

good dont use them for oop

[final cargo]

🙏

[static coral]

you should only be aware of their existance and use them when you reallyyyyy need to

[static coral]

just use my method

[final cargo]

this is how i was doing it before with just one type of npc btw

don't mind the second parameter passed to loopSpawn()

i cut some code out

[final cargo]

ok

so should i run on a single thread like i already am doing

[static coral]

put the npc types into an array and then choose a random number in the array and spawn the type at the chosen index

[deft pasture]

do you have it to where like npcs named female and the other male try to clarify it more in the code?

[static coral]

yeah i think it should be fine for what you are trying to do

[final cargo]

that's pretty much the only place where npc gender appears

[thick sluice]

is this a good tutorial i made

[final cargo]

its just to know whether i should use a male model or a female one

[final cargo]

well what about for large airports

where a lot of people come in

in real life you have multiple people coming in at the same time you know

[static coral]

scripts in parts 🥀

[bleak glade]

i told him not to use hit.Parent

[static coral]

well it depends i see you have a spawnrate over there

[final cargo]

use collectionservice

[deft pasture]

yes its pretty good but try to explain more like what local does and function and etc.

[static coral]

so if you want it to be faster then maybe make a constant at the top that specifies the amount of threads and then just create them in a for loop

[thick sluice]

this isnt a advanced tutorial yet

this is beginner

[final cargo]

oh i see

[final cargo]

bet

[static coral]

you are teaching bad habits to beginners then

[bleak glade]

make it use hit:FindFirstAncestorOfClass

[umbral carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-with-brick-cat-brick-ultra-kill-gif-4391407985473804173

[bleak glade]

so people stop using hit.parent

[final cargo]

so intead of having a thread for each type i just use N amount of threads to spawn various types

[thick sluice]

nuh uh

i am a beginner myself

and i dont find it bad habit

[static coral]

if you want it to be faster then yes

[bleak glade]

the blind leading the blind ahh

[static coral]

then why tf r u making tutorials

[thick sluice]

cuz i want to teach my own kind

[final cargo]

u think the game is going to suffer from bad performance if i have like 6 airports

with say 3 spawn threads for each

[deft pasture]

DOESNT SOUND RIGHT

[static coral]

nah threads wont lag the game

[thick sluice]

wdym

[static coral]

[bleak glade]

i have like 300k trheads in my game

[static coral]

if they are bad or have laggy stuff in them

[deft pasture]

teach my "OWN" kind

lol

[thick sluice]

yes

teaching my own kind

[final cargo]

in this case its just about following a certain path

that's pre-defined

its just a vector of cframes that the npc must reach

[static coral]

i think it would be fine

only 1 way to find out tho

[deft pasture]

what race 💀

[bleak glade]

cframes are 4x4 matrices

[thick sluice]

all

[final cargo]

for each cframe in vector do
reachCframe() --this waits until the cframe was reached
end

[deft pasture]

🤣 it got me when you said your own kind lol

[bleak glade]

vectors dont have cframes

[final cargo]

tbh im using parts not cframes

i just thought cframes would be quicker to say

[static coral]

if it is predefined path it should be fine

[bleak glade]

vectors are better if you ydont need orientation

[static coral]

cframes are not vectors

[bleak glade]

yes cframes are 4x4 matrices that include rotation and the affine transformation

vectors are just 3 points

[static coral]

yes cframes include vectors but cframes themselves are not vectors. thats like saying coffee and fanta is the same because they are both drinks

either way only 1 thread can be running at a time

[bleak glade]

right

[hasty mesa]

in a vm

[bleak glade]

its just a bunch of task.spawns

[hasty mesa]

yeah they would be paused most of the time

waiting to be resumed by either task.wait or whatever paused them

[bleak glade]

they dont have long execution times either

[sharp lagoon]

Is it good to use proximityprompt?

is ur couch a model

[sharp lagoon]

For popping up billboard gui

[high stream]

local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local Slider = script.Parent
local Fill = script.Parent.Fill
local Trigger = script.Parent.Trigger

function UpdateSlider()
local output = (Mouse.X - Slider.AbsolutePosition.X) / Slider.AbsoluteSize.X
output = math.clamp(output, 0, 1) -- Clamp the value between 0 and 1
Fill.Size = UDim2.fromScale(output, 1)
end

local sliderActive = false

function ActivateSlider()

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 or input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch then
sliderActive = false
end
end)

try that

[sharp lagoon]

@high stream

[high stream]

yea what are u using it for

[sharp lagoon]

For example getting near a part it shows up billboard gui etc

And interacting with it

[latent cloak]

worked like a charm

thanks

[high stream]

np

[sharp lagoon]

Is it a good choice to use proximity prompt in this case or scripting that part is more preferred? @high stream

[high stream]

use the proximity prompt if ur a beginner since its easier

[sharp lagoon]

But what’s the best choice? Scripting it?

[proud idol]

you have more customization if u script it

[high stream]

wdym by best choice

[sharp lagoon]

Performance wise etc

Just overall

[high stream]

performance?

[sharp lagoon]

Idk 😭😭

[high stream]

i dont think it matters based on performance

[sharp lagoon]

Ooh alright

What do most people use? For interacting etc with billboard gui?

[high stream]

the proximity prompt

[sharp lagoon]

Alright thank youu

[high stream]

np

[sharp lagoon]

No…?

[high stream]

mistake

[sharp lagoon]

Haha jk ik

You use it aswell? The prompt?

[high stream]

yea

[sharp lagoon]

I see

Oh wait but

I can’t customise the gui with it right?

[proud idol]

you can change its look

not the functionality

[sharp lagoon]

Hmmmm

Its functionality is holding E right?

[proud idol]

if u want a fast and easy way to add a button that can be pressed using keys/controller buttons is okay to use proximity prompt

but for more complicated stuff youll need to script it urself

[sharp lagoon]

Hmmmmm lemme think of an example

[high stream]

u can change the keybind

[sharp lagoon]

Okay what if I want the interaction to be with an image then?

Costume button

Oops typo

[high stream]

ive seen it be done but im not quite sure

[sharp lagoon]

Oh complicated right?

[high stream]

not sure

maybe watch a tutorial

[proud idol]

you can change how the proximity prompt looks

if i remember correctly

[high stream]

yea u can

[sharp lagoon]

Alright thank you, but if I use script instead it wouldn’t make much difference right if it works?

[proud idol]

you have to set a property so it uses a gui that its parented inside the proximity prompt

i dont remember that well cause i usually just use billboards

[sharp lagoon]

But don’t you need something like proximity prompt to interact with it?

[proud idol]

you dont have to use proximity prompt to make billboards interactable

again, proximity prompt is the quick and easy way to add a billboard button

but it doesnt do anything else other than what its designed for

Interactable Billboards is like the advanced mode of proximity prompt

[sharp lagoon]

So you make a script for it to interact? With custom gui?

[proud idol]

yes

[sharp lagoon]

Alright thanks

Also module scripts, it’s used when you have a lot of scripts doing same thing right?

[proud idol]

yeah

one of its uses

[bleak glade]

not necessarily

[sharp lagoon]

Hmmm

What’s its 3 main uses?

[proud idol]

i personally use them more as like libraries tho

[sharp lagoon]

Meaning?

[bleak glade]

library, frameworks, organization

[proud idol]

library is essentially a collection of functions that a code can import from (so you dont have to write em into the code itself)

[sharp lagoon]

But isn’t library storing scripts then to use? That’s to prevent same scripts being duplicated bunch of times right?

[bleak glade]

functions not scripts

[sharp lagoon]

Oooh okay

[sharp lagoon]

Functions I see

[bleak glade]

my library has helpers that i can use universally between games

[sharp lagoon]

Ooh alright thank you

Is there any case where module is like needed?

[bleak glade]

not really

[proud idol]

Not a necessity but its a good way to organize games

and to also update multiple scripts

[sharp lagoon]

And are there times where using modules may ruin the game? For example let’s say you creating an npc and its attack function is the same and you have 3 diff types of npcs and you use module to store the attack function

[bleak glade]

i use my own framwork which isnt a "necessity" but so helpful

[bleak glade]

they can just be objects

[proud idol]

not really unless ur misusing em

[sharp lagoon]

But is that a good time to use it?

[sharp lagoon]

What do you mean? The npcs?

[bleak glade]

that object orientated for what youre pointing at not just a modukle

[sharp lagoon]

I didn’t understand my bad 😭

[bleak glade]

its fine

the module can use a constructor to make those 3 objects

[sharp lagoon]

Yoda Imagine you making a npc for attacking running, will you use module for its running and attacking functionality?

[proud idol]

well yeah bc the 3 npc's share an atatck function

[sharp lagoon]

Ooohh, so module can make everything for it?

[proud idol]

unless their attacks are unique, why not just write one attack function they can use form the module

[bleak glade]

when you make a new object youre giving it meta functions (perchance) and varaibles so it wont ruin it

[proud idol]

yeah

[sharp lagoon]

I see

[bleak glade]

withtimeout and oncomplete are metafunctions that can be used for each constructed object created in new

[sharp lagoon]

Thank you both of you

[vagrant jungle]

can someone hire me 💔

[high stream]

rl

[sharp lagoon]

I didn’t fully understand but uhm I think I got the core idea

Do you guys also put tables in modules?

[proud idol]

if its needed yes

[bleak glade]

when you call the with timeout youre passing in the constructed object automatically so it runs for that object

self is the first parameter for : functions

[sharp lagoon]

Ooh alright I think I get it a bit now

Also when making custom inventory for players it doesn’t need module right?

[proud idol]

depends how u code it

but i would prob use it

[sharp lagoon]

For what?

[proud idol]

as a library

[bleak glade]

backpack type inventory or a different one

[proud idol]

for functions that i need to call multiple times

[sharp lagoon]

Alright alright, I will try learning on Google about it more aswell, but thank you guys

I hope I didn’t bother with too many questions

laggggg😍😍😍

game:Destroy()

You have to disable bubblechat and then use text chat service on the client

testPart.Touched:Connect(function()

    touched = false
  end
end)

It's not working 😦

[late sapphire]

is it local or server script

[next escarp]

Only script

[late sapphire]

hmm

try printing "touched"

to see if it actually touches

[next escarp]

Ok

[sleek pasture]

is it possible to restrict mouse movement within a specific radius on the screen?

or would i have to create a custom mouse for something like this

[late sapphire]

wdym like the mouse gets stuck?

[sleek pasture]

stuck but not in a way where it can't move at all

hold on

so there's the screen, which normally your mouse can't move beyond, but it doesn't get locked when it reaches the edge, which is exactly what i wanna do with the mouse in the radius

i can just set a central rotation point for what i wanna do, but then if i move my mouse too far one direction and keep moving the cursor in a circular motion, it obviously stops working the way i want it to

because of that actually, i kinda want the mouse to only be able to follow that circular line

[late sapphire]

Then you will need to make your own

[tardy pasture]

pay me and ill teach u some sh*t

[wispy bane]

when you do inventory systems, for weapons that have unique qualities (like an enchant or modifier) but also items that can be acquired at high amounts without modifications (for example, potions or resources), should they be stored in arrays or dictionaries, or should I use a hybrid system for this?

[wispy bane]

ngl this sets you up for everything
though there are some other good stuff to know like in BrawlDev's tutorials, everything in this is a fundamental

[fossil spear]

local weapons = {['Norma'] = {Enchants = {}, Quantity = 0}} etc

ofc u can do table.insert but im not gonna write it all

[tardy pasture]

write it all

[wispy bane]

So something like this?

local inventory = {
   ['Sword'] = {
      ['Enchants'] = {}
      ['Quantity'] = 1
      ['UUID'] = D098HSDKA24921GHJG -- jibberish
   ['Health Potion'] = {
      ['Quantity'] = 1
}

[fossil spear]

ya

[wispy bane]

I see, interesting

[fossil spear]

or u can do an event called Add Item and then local Inventory = Decode(Data.Inventory.Value); -- json

if Inventory[ItemName] then
    Inventory[ItemName].Amount += Amount;
else
    Inventory[ItemName] = {
        Item = ItemName;
        Amount = Amount
    };
end

then set the new value to Encode(Inventory)

[deep solar]

Your problem is the boundaries. Take a base price of 2000, you buy a land with this price so the new price is 2000 * 1.2. However the price is now greater than 2000 so the reverse multiplier 1.05. This makes the sell price 2000 * 1.2 / 1.5. So the user makes a profit of 2000 * 1.2 / 1.05 - 2000 ~= 286.

If you want to account for this you need to check the previous adjustment when doing a reverse. Check if dividing the multiplier of that adjustment lands you in range of it, if thats the case then use that multiple to reverse instead.

For example with 2000 * 1.2 you would use the second adjustment normally, which means you check the previous adjustment first by dividing 1.2, 2000 * 1.2 / 1.2 = 2000 <= 2000, thus use the first adjustment to reverse instead.

Ideally you would use a function that takes the number of land as input and manipulates that to return a price rather than a recursive one.

hey guys, i started learning how to script like 6 months ago, its going really well but now im confused. I can make many cool things but im not that good to make some more complex stuff like whole egg system etc. what should i do now?

[tardy pasture]

keep on doing stuff untill u can

[fossil spear]

why do people make simulators when they start scripting

[tardy pasture]

and a egg system aint hard its just alot off tweening

[fossil spear]

simulators are like the hardest shit to make, rpg games are the easiest unless we talking about easy sims

[formal acorn]

yeah thats the hard thing

[formal acorn]

like what stuff

[tardy pasture]

roblox sims usally take up to 1 month to create ???

[tardy pasture]

scripting stuff duh

[formal acorn]

should i take commisions?

[fossil spear]

maybe a sim that has nothing in it

[tardy pasture]

no u just create a tween play with the values untill u see something u like

[tardy pasture]

u could

[fossil spear]

a good sim takes a shit ton with the framework and everything else

[tardy pasture]

tell me 1 good sim on roblox

[fossil spear]

anime champions simulator

shit is like the hardest sim ik to recreate

[tardy pasture]

never heard of it

[formal acorn]

anime and good lmao

[tardy pasture]

send ss

[formal acorn]

especially in roblox

[formal acorn]

btw crimson what should i make for my portfolio cuz i have no idea, i just made 2 things that are pretty simple for my youtube

[tardy pasture]

that is enough put those in ur portfolio

the more u make the more u can put it

[fossil spear]

its not even that its hard, its just that it takes a SHIT TON OF TIME to make, cover all the systems, make sure there arent any bugs, and they did it insane, and the math in there is very hard to make too

[formal acorn]

but they are pretty simple and idk if people will like it

[tardy pasture]

fun fact most hirers arent coders so they dont care about how it is scripted they just wanna see the function of it

[fossil spear]

^ not true btw

[tardy pasture]

it is lol

[fossil spear]

unless u code for a 3year old then no

[tardy pasture]

most players who are looking for a scripter cant script them self

[formal acorn]

can you tell something more, if you argue with his opinion please give some arguments on it

[fossil spear]

ya but they have basic understanding of how a script should look

[tardy pasture]

lol no

[fossil spear]

yes

[tardy pasture]

nope

believe me

[formal acorn]

so what

even if

[tardy pasture]

all they want is it is ez to either add stuff to it things like that

and it has to work good in game

[formal acorn]

i only made inv save system with custom item saving and codes system

[fossil spear]

dont listen to him, when u start getting hired by people who have experience they will not hire u anymore if they dont like how u organize

[tardy pasture]

i never said u dont have to organize ur script

i do it for readability

[formal acorn]

but showing portfolio usually isnt showing a script though

fun fact most hirers arent coders so they dont care about how it is scripted they just wanna see the function of it

[formal acorn]

thats what i think

[tardy pasture]

who have experience

[tardy pasture]

ye cuz its true ???

[fossil spear]

listen im not gonna argue anymore please dont listen to him

[tardy pasture]

if they could code themselve why the hell would u hire someone

[formal acorn]

then tell me

what should i do

[tardy pasture]

do what u think is best for u

[formal acorn]

yall/you have way more experience than me and went through allat

[tardy pasture]

if a normal player is playing a game do u think they care how it is programmed no all they care is about how good the game is

[fossil spear]

learn how to organize, please type in either camelCase or PascalCase, keep things in check dont try to go for the easy way to make a script because its bad practice

and thats the way u make ur game have 30 bugs

[tardy pasture]

oh yea no i agree on this

[formal acorn]

so uhmm

[somber vault]

some cool code

[karmic coral]

Lf smone to make inventory ill pay 700 robux

[next escarp]

local testPart = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("testPart")
local touched = false

local function changeColor()
  testPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.New("Toothpaste")
  task.wait(1)
  testPart:BrickColor = BrickColor.New("Medium stone grey")
end

testPart.Touched:Connect(function()
  if not touched then
    touched = true
    changeColor()
    task.wait(2)
    touched = false
  end
end)

It's not working 😦

[lapis idol]

touched is always false, does it change anywhere?

nvm im dumb lol

[midnight hull]

bro

testpart:BrickColor

please use Script Analysis

[lapis idol]

doesnt it highlight the errors even without script analysis

[midnight hull]

yeah only if you run it it outputs errors in output

[lapis idol]

i remember it would've highlighted the : with red line underneath it

how did bro not notice the long red line

[midnight hull]

oh yeah

[willow timber]

[vast cave]

what is the error here

[elfin karma]

can someone help me with a proximity UI thing

(say yes)

[bleak glade]

if youre using string keys use the [] bracket, ["Play"] = true; or just Play = true without it being a string

[vast cave]

ty

[sharp lagoon]

@bleak glade Yoda when making for example pet inventory is it better to script the folder where pets will be or a manual folder?

[bleak glade]

what do you mean?

the actual pets or where theyre stored

[rugged mist]

I’m tripping

[bleak glade]

fr

you can use semicolons

[rugged mist]

U put brick color as a method

[mint minnow]

i need someones help please

my animation doesnt play even tho its set to action

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

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Animator") or Instance.new("Animator", humanoid)

local holderModel = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("HolderAL"):Clone()
holderModel.Parent = character

for _, part in pairs(holderModel:GetDescendants()) do
if part:IsA("BasePart") then
part.Anchored = false
end
end

local cube = holderModel:WaitForChild("Cube")
local leftHand = character:WaitForChild("LeftHand")

local motor = Instance.new("Motor6D")
motor.Name = "HolderMotor"
motor.Part0 = leftHand
motor.Part1 = cube
motor.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0) -- adjust position if needed
motor.C1 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0)
motor.Parent = leftHand

track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
track.Looped = true
track:Play()

print(" Animation playing using Motor6D")

[karmic coral]

paying 2k robux for someone to recode my game its a simple game ngl

[dark coral]

how big is the codebase

[sharp lagoon]

Like hmmm, when you make a inventory for pets right, and you create a new storage for it by script instead of manually making a folder for its pets

[lost oasis]

How do I make a part move up and down

[hasty oak]

No

[hasty oak]

Use electromagnetism

[lost oasis]

In Roblox Studio

[winter girder]

What's the difference between Remote Events & Remote Functions?

[hasty oak]

Remote events are one way

Remote functions are 2 way

[bleak glade]

i use tables for pet storing not folders

[remote yarrow]

[sour yacht]

server isnt dat good lowk

[remote yarrow]

[static coral]

how does one go about making a projectile system with dynamic physics like the one that diddy forces has where you can lead your shots and colliding with the projectile while its still moving will damage you

[remote yarrow]

thank you

[sour yacht]

"lke the one that diddy forces has"??

[remote yarrow]

which line btw

[sour yacht]

DURRRRR

[static coral]

phantom forces

[sour yacht]

21

[bleak glade]

[sour yacht]

ya sure in a bit

[remote yarrow]

That only changes the name of the character
