Bro

Go to #scripter-hiring #modeler-hiring

[static coral]

then you have no idea what u r doing bro you can put tables in datastores since forever how do u think games save a large amount of data???

[weak radish]

JSON

[static coral]

tables are converted to json in datastores anyway

[weak radish]

How long have you been scripting

[static coral]

like a year more or less

[weak radish]

Because you didnt used to be able to store tables in datastores..

theres tons of forums of people asking how to save tables to ds

[static coral]

its literally datastore:SetAsync(id, {})

????

r u referring to something else

[weak radish]

bro

[prime mortar]

how do i do it tho?

@weak radish

[weak radish]

You didnt used to be able to do it

[weak radish]

Have you even tried?

[prime mortar]

how do i type the form

where do i fill the form

[static coral]

maybe in like 2014 you werent able to do it but as long as i have been scripting it was possible. and in thedevking’s tutorials (which are from like 2017) he says that you can save tables to datastores so u gotta be trippin

[weak radish]

Instead of answering me google it

[static coral]

????

[ruby iron]

you used to not be able to save tables

[static coral]

you are the one with the question, google it yourself

[ruby iron]

like a long long long time ago

[weak radish]

BRO

Omd idk if I have the patience to talk to you dngr, but im saying google "how to save tables to datastores", there are TONS of forums

[static coral]

those must be some very old forums then

saving tables to datastores is not difficult

[weak radish]

Theres literally one from last year

you used to have to use jsondecode + encode

[static coral]

well not anymore

tables are automatically converted to json in datastore

[weak radish]

I realise that now but I was just saying, it didnt used to be like that

Bro

your gonna get punished

enjoy

[prime mortar]

JUST TELL ME HOW TO PUBLISH FORM

AAAAAAAAA

[weak radish]

/post

[prime mortar]

oh

thanks

[untold crater]

Guys if i wanted to add abilities to my game and wanted to enequip and equip then i should make all the abilities module scripts and use them when needed right?

[weak radish]

Yeah

[untold crater]

ok thx

[past pendant]

does anyone know how to add an anti afk system in games? (it rejoins the player every 15mins so they can afk)

local PLACE_ID_TO_TELEPORT = game.PlaceId

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

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local button = script.Parent

local teleportEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RequestTeleport")

local isAntiAFKEnabled = false
local lastCFrame
local startTime
local monitoringCoroutine

local function hasPlayerMoved()
    local currentCFrame = player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") and player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
    if currentCFrame and lastCFrame then
        return currentCFrame ~= lastCFrame
    end
    return false
end

local function teleportPlayer()
    print("Requesting teleport...") 
    task.wait(1)  
    teleportEvent:FireServer()
end

local function startMonitoring()
    if monitoringCoroutine then return end

    monitoringCoroutine = coroutine.create(function()
        while isAntiAFKEnabled do
            task.wait(1)
            if hasPlayerMoved() then
                startTime = tick()
                lastCFrame = player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") and player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
            else
                local elapsed = tick() - startTime
                if elapsed >= MAXIDLE_TIME then
                    print("Player idle for too long, teleporting.") 
                    teleportPlayer()
                    break
                end
            end
        end
        monitoringCoroutine = nil
    end)
    coroutine.resume(monitoringCoroutine)
end

local function toggleAntiAFK()
    isAntiAFKEnabled = not isAntiAFKEnabled
    if isAntiAFKEnabled then
        button.Text = "AFK MODE: ENABLED"
        button.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0)
        startTime = tick()
        lastCFrame = player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") and player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame

        button.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(111,111,111)
    end
end

-- Update tracking on respawn
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
    character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart", 5)
    if isAntiAFKEnabled then
        lastCFrame = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
    end
end)

-- Setup default state
button.Text = "AFK MODE: DISABLED"
button.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(111,111,111)

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(toggleAntiAFK)```

[lofty plinth]

I'd recommend using .Idled for checking if a player has gone afk

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Player#Idled

[past pendant]

It does check its just not allowing me to join back like it says "You have disconnected please rejoin" or "Client has innitiated disconnect"

it works it just wont allow the full rejoin

[lofty plinth]

Are you attempting to join a server thats closing?

That might be the issue if ur testing alone

[past pendant]

ah, I am testing alone

yo nice thinking dude

didnt even think of that

Well I hope that was the problem, thanks

[winter girder]

• Server Sided:

    print("Teleport request from", player.Name)
    local character = player.Character
    if not character then return end
    
    task.wait(5)
    local RootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    local TeleportTarget = workspace.Gate:WaitForChild("TeleportPart")

    if RootPart and TeleportTarget then
        RootPart.CFrame = TeleportTarget.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
    end
end)```

- Local Script:
```local Gate = script.Parent
local Teleport = game.ReplicatedStorage.RE:WaitForChild("Teleport")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

Gate.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    print("Gate touched!")

    if hit.Parent == player then
        print("Firing server...")
        Teleport:FireServer()

        Gate.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
        Gate.Transparency = 0.5
        Gate.CanCollide = false

        task.wait(3)

        Gate.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
        Gate.Transparency = 0
        Gate.CanCollide = true
    end
end) ```

Anyone knows why this doesn't work when I touch the gate part?

[lofty plinth]

If stuff like that happens u can also use reserved servers for rejoins

[past pendant]

so like private servers?

[lofty plinth]

Not exactly

[past pendant]

well its gonna be an afk for ugc game and it basically will just rejoin any active server/ the last server it was in

[safe sail]

any scripters qualified in combat systems and abilities would be interested in a job

[lofty plinth]

Its a closed off server only players with a specific code can join and you can create 1 at will without worry itll close on u

[past pendant]

oh so its like a key that you need to have to access to the server?

[lofty plinth]

Effectively

What teleport method using?

[past pendant]

ah okay, would that be good to use for most players using that?

[lofty plinth]

TeleportAsync?

[past pendant]

not sure I used chatgpt 😭

[lofty plinth]

I'd only say for rejoining or sub private servers

[past pendant]

teleportEvent:FireServer() thats what im using

its serversided cuz its a local script on a text button

[lofty plinth]

What is teleportEvent conne cted to tho?

[past pendant]

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

local PLACE_ID = game.PlaceId

ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RequestTeleport").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
print("Teleport request received from player:", player.Name) -- Debug print
local success, err = pcall(function()
print("Attempting teleport to place ID:", PLACE_ID) -- Debug print
TeleportService:Teleport(PLACE_ID, player)
end)
if not success then
warn("Teleport failed:", err)
else
print("Teleport succeeded!") -- Debug print
end
end)

[lofty plinth]

I'd honestly change it to TeleportAsync but its not needed

[past pendant]

how would it be better? genuine questions since I dont know

[lofty plinth]

You can check documentation on the different teleports you can use and what sparks ur fancy

[lofty plinth]

TeleportAsync is a merged version of all the different teleports that have existed in the past

Can teleport upto 50 players at once can create reserved servers can be used to join players with a jobId ect...

[past pendant]

oh, thats cool, ill research more about this and let my scripter do it for me 🤣 thanks man

[sacred widget]

?

Oh in the past

[wet basalt]

Basically, I'll show you that using the Animator on the server causes the animations to be replicated everywhere, including on the server itself. I believe this is a big issue because it unnecessarily consumes server resources.

Here the animation is triggered from the client, and it uses the server-side Animator instance. (you can see that it gets replicated on the server-side too)

In this second approach, the player who performs the action animates locally, and at the same time sends a packet to the server. The server then notifies the other clients to play the same animation on that player.

[cursive thorn]

i'm not sure how to use the nexus.lua file for roblox account manager. i don't have their discord server either, so if someone knows how to make the executor work, it'd be very much appreciated.

[gaunt flax]

for combat systems what would be the best way to detect a player within a zone and damage them?

Would it be a .touched event with a hitbox part? or region3 or world root get parts bound in box?

[tight holly]

GetPartsInPart i think

[gaunt flax]

get parts bound in box?

theres this module called zone plus im also thinking of using that but i dont know which would be more optimized

[severe bloom]

honestly idk

wdym

[honest shuttle]

GUYS

i need help

how to make sure that the hair and the head are shattered and that the hair doesn't float in the air

[narrow star]

Does anyone know how to disabled autojump

[light niche]

StarterPlayer service ->

[vivid willow]

how do i change my gamepass ids?

@everyone

[tight holly]

i dont think you can, i think you gotta reupload to get a new id

[vivid willow]

i cant?

[vivid willow]

i bought a game

[vivid willow]

and idk where they put the ids

[nimble steeple]

does any1 knows how to create a clashing system based for swords on magnitude or collision method ? i couldn't find any vids abt it

[narrow star]

I tried that but it didn't work specifically for pc.

[wet basalt]

Up

[wet basalt]

Are you looking for a tutorial or just the idea behind it?

[nimble steeple]

tuto behind it

already got the idea ig, its either magnitude or collision

[wet basalt]

I did a prototype once, I didn't use collision, just plain magnitude comparison

[cyan notch]

im looking for someone who knows abit of scripting like me so we can learn together and work together

[light niche]

huh, i dont think pc does has auto jumping

anyways you can search up, im not sure

[narrow star]

Like when you hold space bar is what i mean mb for the confusion

Im trying to make it so it dosent keep jumping when you hold it and instead there is a db between each jump

[lost pebble]

you would have to code a jumping mechanic yourself then

[narrow star]

Oh ok thats fine, I just thought there was a setting but wasent sure, thanks

[lost pebble]

you're welcome

[jolly vessel]

why does roblox break my entire script when i have an error but their goofy ass has like 10 💔

[graceful oxide]

Skill issue

[sharp lagoon]

But like you gotta store your actual pet models somewhere too right and when it’s equipped

When making inventory with the scroll frame how do I add an image background to it and also how do I make it so the more inventory the scroll gets longer?

[somber vault]

anyone got some good resources on learning ModuleLoader

[jolly vessel]

ye animations on the server are a bad idea

but i didnt understand whats wrong?

you want a way to optimise it?

[wet basalt]

Can you wait a minute, english is not my first language so I've got trouble phrasing xD

[sharp lagoon]

@jolly vessel 😞

[jolly vessel]

alr

[wet basalt]

I'll try to explain what troubles me

[jolly vessel]

what are you tryna do, add images or expand the scrolling frame

[somber vault]

wym? you can have a table to store the pets data and have a refrence to the model in there and a refrence to an image string?

[sharp lagoon]

I want it to auto expand maybe, for example the scroll is big meaning it wont scroll a lot, but the more stuff gets in inventory the scroll gets smaller cuz inventory getting bigger

I hope you understand my explaining is a bit weird maybe

[sharp lagoon]

Wait how? How can you have a reference of a model there

[somber vault]

pet = {
model = game.ReplicatedStorage.models.pets.somepetmodel
}

[sharp lagoon]

Oh yeah getting from replicated storage?

Yeah I meant that

[gloomy kraken]

just create a variable for the folder so you dont have to type the whole thing every time you want to add a new model

[jolly vessel]

to expand scrolling area im pretty sure its the canvas size value

[sharp lagoon]

Also want to have a background but the scroll frame doesn’t let me add background image to it @jolly vessel

[sharp lagoon]

But can’t it auto expand?

[gloomy kraken]

nope

[jolly vessel]

you can add a script that auto expands it

[wet basalt]

@jolly vessel
What’s bothering me is a technical detail.
It’s obviously a bad idea to play an animation on the server, so it makes sense to want to handle it on the client side instead. But what I find frustrating is that everyone keeps saying that without really explaining what it actually implies in terms of architecture.

While digging into the Animator documentation, I noticed that you can retrieve and play a track from an Animator that was instantiated on the server. That made me think, “Great, Roblox handles replication for me!”
But then I ran a test and turns out, that’s not what happens at all. When you create a track on the client and rely on a server-created Animator, the animation also plays on the server, which is... really counterintuitive.

So in the end, it seems like we do have to handle it ourselves, like the approach shown in the second video.

[sharp lagoon]

So it has a set scroll limit already?

[somber vault]

yes

[jolly vessel]

add an image to its parent frame

[sharp lagoon]

So I should make its parent an image and then make the scroll frame transparent?

[jolly vessel]

add an image as a child to its parent frame

[sharp lagoon]

Are you sure I can’t auto expand it? 😭

[jolly vessel]

you can create a script to do that

[sharp lagoon]

Is that good?

[tired roost]

https://tenor.com/view/rogue-lineage-gif-23960535

[jolly vessel]

roblox studio is confusing, its better to do it the 2nd way if it saves more resources

[gloomy kraken]

yes because roblox optimisation sucks

[sharp lagoon]

Also when making inventory you add an Uilayout something I seen some games they have like an upper part for equipped selection in same frame I think how is that possible?

[gloomy kraken]

uigridlayout

[sharp lagoon]

Yeah that I think

[deft pasture]

does anyone know how to code a npc buys your tool system? just a imple one becaus eim not a good coder but like when i click on a proximity prompt thats plced in a npc based on my tool nme like sword the npc will buy the sword fo rlike 50 cash and th ephone for 30 cash eveytime i click the proximit yprompt it just buys the part based on its name and price

[gloomy kraken]

also i dont think they do, they probably just have a second invisible frame for the equipped

[gloomy kraken]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1138164798652166264/1353997863150944298/tenor.gif

[sharp lagoon]

But how do they even do that, the UiGridLayout doesn’t let you right?

[wet basalt]

So the second method is what people usually go with?

[deft pasture]

i can send the code

[jolly vessel]

thats easy

[deft pasture]

"im not that good" 👍

[gloomy kraken]

uigridlayout only affects the frame it is parented under

[jolly vessel]

people dont usually complicate it that much, for player anims always go client, for npc anims go server

[gloomy kraken]

they probably just use seperate frames

[gloomy kraken]

then send it bruh

[deft pasture]

Ohh ok

[jolly vessel]

this one if statement is holding my entire script together 🙏

if i == 1 then 
  continue
end

[gloomy kraken]

yk we should really invest in mind reading technology so we can fix people's scripts

[wet basalt]

I get what you mean, and I’m definitely not trying to overcomplicate things. But as far as I can tell, if you want animations to be visible across clients (e.g. a player doing an emote that others can see), then simply playing the animation locally isn’t enough. Meaning the server needs to act as a broadcaster. Otherwise, how do other players know to show the animation?

[jolly vessel]

the server auto replicates any animation a client plays so all other clients see it

[wet basalt]

Yes, exactly and that’s actually my point.
When the client plays an animation through an Animator created on the server, it does replicate to other clients, which is great but it also plays on the server itself...

[jolly vessel]

if you dont want it to play on the server, make your own custom animater

if thats possible

then just fire all clients

[umbral carbon]

#code-discussion message 🥶

[jolly vessel]

fire

[umbral carbon]

“Couch fighting game”

[jolly vessel]

cool idea

[wet basalt]

Yes it's possible, and that's what I showcase in the second video.
Sorry if it wasn’t super clear with the three windows, the top-left one is the server, the bottom-left is Client 1, and the right one is Client 2.
You can see that the animations are played by the clients, but not by the server, which is exactly what I was aiming for.

[jolly vessel]

then use it, im not sure how well made it is but if it suits your needs go ahead

[wet basalt]

I’ve talked to quite a few people about this whole animation replication topic, and I get the feeling there’s a bit of a misconception around how it actually works.

A lot of people seem to think they’re optimizing things by relying on the built-in replication, but in reality, that’s not the case. Animations end up playing on the server.

Like you said, the real solution is to set up a custom service that handles broadcasting and animation logic cleanly across clients. At least that's the conclusion

[deft pasture]

i got the selling system to work all i did was forgot to make some words like Function capslock 😅 i always deal with forgetting to caps lock

[quick gazelle]

could sm1 help me with this extremely complex code? :

print("helo world")

[somber vault]

print("Hello, World!")

[hearty harbor]

guys

[somber vault]

yes

[hearty harbor]

me wanna be a scripter

[somber vault]

okay

start scripting brother

[hearty harbor]

cuh

the only shit i can do is print("hello world")

[somber vault]

gotta start somewhere bro

[wet basalt]

@jolly vessel Replicating animations between players is fairly straightforward.

The tricky part is having the server notify clients when an NPC should play a specific animation. For that, I’ll need to set up a proper system, probably involving tags to categorize NPCs into groups (to make lookup easier), and also some kind of ID system, maybe using attributes to uniquely identify each entity.

Since we can’t rely on passing instance references (pointers) directly between the server and client sessions, having those IDs will be necessary for clients to resolve which NPC to animate.

[hearty harbor]

give me something to script

trust

ill coook!!!

[somber vault]

just watch couple vids or read the docs and go thru some basic little tutorials on basic syntax and stuff then slowly work on small projects yourself and use the web to learn what you need for specifc things

never watch tutorials on how to make something full it's better to research the small parts and put it all together atleast that's just me could be different for other people helps u learn way bettert

[novel cloak]

try making an obby game if you’re a complete newcomer

[somber vault]

make it rain tacos if you're just starting

[novel cloak]

just don’t over rely on tutorials or free models

[somber vault]

and play the song its raining tacos

[wet basalt]

Guys I'm curious to hear your thoughts on what I said

[somber vault]

and i got some tutorials on my old channel if u need they might be outtated tho lol the channel is Xcrossy but its like main menu tutorails and stuff

[hearty harbor]

sure

[somber vault]

goodluck bro

[wet basalt]

Design is mostly a group effort, right? 😄

[novel cloak]

like general game design?

[somber vault]

wym bro

[spare reef]

What random quick things should I make as a beginner who understands functions loops tweens (kinda) and tables (kinda) and variables

[wet basalt]

Haha I meant like technical design

[wet basalt]

Here

[jolly vessel]

me personally i would stick to the default one

i try to replace too many things roblox made

[quick gazelle]

crazy, ur a genius 🔥

[wet basalt]

But from what I understand, the default animation replication can actually be pretty heavy in terms of bandwidth.

It seems like the server sends full joint data for every frame of every replicated animation which adds up fast if you have dozens or even hundreds of animated entities, like in an MMO.

That’s why I’m exploring lighter alternatives where clients handle the animation locally, and only minimal info (like “entity X is doing animation Y”) is sent over the network.

It’s not about replacing everything Roblox provides just optimizing where it's critical.

[shut whale]

Can someone in here help me

[somber vault]

with

[shut whale]

I need to know or figure out how to record inside the game

[somber vault]

wym like screen record

[shut whale]

Like scream stream

Yeah

[somber vault]

u can use OBS

[shut whale]

How?

[somber vault]

download obs

and look up tutortial on basic recording and u will be good

take like 5 mins

[shut whale]

For your character to have a camera that records

[jolly vessel]

in roblox?

good luck on that 😂

[somber vault]

ohhh

[shut whale]

Have you played scream stream

On roblox

[somber vault]

i have nott

ill check it out

[shut whale]

I would be a really good game but the dev doesn't keep up on it

[somber vault]

looks like content warning!

imma check it out rn

[somber vault]

yeah bro made it during hte content warning hype got his bread and dipped lol

[wet basalt]

Optimizing games is a real hassle as you can see here, but it's worth it : https://devforum.roblox.com/t/how-we-reduced-bandwidth-usage-by-60x-in-astro-force-roblox-rts/1202300?page=2

[somber vault]

happens a lot with trend games

[wet basalt]

Also, using a packet library that allows for more compact data transfer is really important

[shut whale]

Yeah

[wet basalt]

As well as using a pool or cache to avoid unnecessary and expensive memory accesses

[hearty harbor]

is this aura?

i scripted it into the world

😭

[somber vault]

its a start

[jolly vessel]

what is this

[somber vault]

all that matters

[hearty harbor]

dude

i literally started 2 minutes ago

[somber vault]

i think he was just confused on what it actually was

[jolly vessel]

its a question

ye

[wet basalt]

https://youtu.be/AkF-4x7qfzM

[somber vault]

what about a character replication system where u store the cf data in a script then make the player render in the characters

[stable verge]

should i use profile service or datastoreservice?

[runic quarry]

Did you just make a part or something

Or is this something else

[hearty harbor]

scripted it all

[distant tiger]

profile service, never rely on the default roblox datastore as a standalone, because once it goes down, all data management is cooked

custom data modules protect against all that

[slow gorge]

some stranger gave me this random script for free and said it gives unlimited robux if i put in game 🥰

[runic quarry]

As in you just created a part with a script

Or is it like a disappearing platform or something

[worn pilot]

how do u pause a task until something happens
i only want the proximity promt on the first item (when i = 1 basically) but it's doing all of them

[runic quarry]

I mean you could create the prox prompt only if i==1

[worn pilot]

oh yes ty

but like

what happens when i want to iterate through

like when it's clicked it's gonna change to the next object in the dictionary

[runic quarry]

Oh

Ok that's what you mean

[worn pilot]

yes

do yk how to do that

[runic quarry]

I guess ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Wait()

Yea

It'll wait until the prompt is triggered

If that's what you want

[worn pilot]

tysm

[worn pilot]

it works now but the prox promt doesnt destroy

DrinksBE.WaterBE.Event:Connect(function()
    for i, v in pairs(DrinksRecipes.Water) do
        KitchenBeam.Attachment1 = v

        local ProximityPromt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
        ProximityPromt.Name = "ProximityPromt_"
        ProximityPromt.Parent = v.Parent
        
        
        ProximityPromt.Triggered:Wait(function(player)
            ProximityPromt:Destroy()
        end)
    end

    --[[
    KitchenBeam.Attachment1 = Plate_STEP1_Attachment ]]
end)

[random gulch]

Use :connect instead of wait???

[worn pilot]

then this will happen #code-discussion message

[random gulch]

Just try this DrinksBE.WaterBE.Event:Connect(function()
for i, v in pairs(DrinksRecipes.Water) do
KitchenBeam.Attachment1 = v

    local ProximityPromt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
    ProximityPromt.Name = "ProximityPromt_"
    ProximityPromt.Parent = v.Parent
    
    ProximityPromt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
        ProximityPromt:Destroy()
    end)
end

--[[
KitchenBeam.Attachment1 = Plate_STEP1_Attachment ]]

end)

[worn pilot]

yea that doesnt work

[stable verge]

K

[stable verge]

that dosent look safe 😭

[hearty harbor]

Everything

[runic quarry]

Wait doesn't work like that

DrinksBE.WaterBE.Event:Connect(function()
    for i, v in pairs(DrinksRecipes.Water) do
        KitchenBeam.Attachment1 = v

        local ProximityPromt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
        ProximityPromt.Name = "ProximityPromt_"
        ProximityPromt.Parent = v.Parent
        
        
        ProximityPromt.Triggered:Wait()
        ProximityPromt:Destroy()
    end

    --[[
    KitchenBeam.Attachment1 = Plate_STEP1_Attachment ]]
end)

Try something like this

:Wait() yields until the signal is fired

Before continuing with the code

You don't pass a function to be executed on the firing of the signal

That's :Connect()

[iron skiff]

What is needed by you:
2 player teleport system
2 player movement system
Spin the wheel
Gamepass system
Crate System
Troll System
Ui System (such as opening/closing, sounds, animations, & reward system) This should be the easiest one, but I want it as a module script not a local script per frame)
Skin system (with perks for different skins) There will also be a camera system allowing to equip skins and animations
Interaction System in the lobby
Checkpoint system/badge system
Obstacle system

how much would yall charge for this?

[rapid verge]

co routines

pause the co rountine until you want to add the next proximity prompt and then repeat that untill all of them are done

they run along side the main script so it wont yield anything

[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 😦

[ionic oar]

any errors?

[ionic oar]

you are doing : instead of . in the changeColor() function

for the brick color of testPart

[next escarp]

Anything else?

[ionic oar]

run it and see if there is another error thats all i can see on first glance

[blissful sparrow]

i have a problem in my game (when i go to shop and then leave the shop and then come again, the shop will not apear again)

[zealous blaze]

oh its you

you still learning im surprised

[copper jay]

does anyone here know how i'd be able to patch exploiters flinging people?

[ancient urchin]

How do exploiters fling people in your game?
By moving their own bodies too fast?

[hoary cedar]

You're in some way giving network ownership to the exploiter, or allowing the exploiter to create/redirect/configure instances

[copper jay]

yeah they spin themselves really fast, couldn't i just make the humanoidrootpart CanCollide false?

[copper jay]

i'm not too sure, i took the game over and basically 90% of the game wasn't even scripted by me, very messy so could be something deep

[pure furnace]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/workspace/collisions#disable-character-collisions

[ancient urchin]

You can just turn off collision between players
Just assign collision group to the every part of character every time their character is added
Then you need to say that this collision group can not collide with itself

[pure furnace]

do what roblox tells u in the link i gave u if u want to turn off player colliding with others

[copper jay]

alright, thank you

[trim dove]

Would be fine for 20k robux.

[blissful sparrow]

can someone help me with smthing?

anyone?

[nimble steeple]

got a problem with my sword held

[lost pebble]

just post it

and someone might

[blissful sparrow]

i quit (i will never make a good roblox game) see ya

• i dont have the plugins i need to make a good roblox game cuz they cost robux

so mutch robux

[lost pebble]

you dont need plugins to make a game

[runic quarry]

anyone wanna playtest a volleyball game

[runic quarry]

and i mean a lot of the good plugins are free too

like archimedes

[lost pebble]

also, just bc something is difficult, doesnt make it impossible

[blissful sparrow]

ye but i dont know how to script very well and what about moon animator

just look at this animation waht goffy is it

[runic quarry]

you can use the default roblox animator

[blissful sparrow]

wait

[runic quarry]

also learning to script takes time

like learning anything takes time

[blissful sparrow]

i tried to learn to script over 2 years and the only thing i am good at is uhh playing games lol

[runic quarry]

i mean im mid too

and its been a few years

[blissful sparrow]

wait come to VC Private 2a ill show you my project

[lost pebble]

it took me 5 to start to learn (mostly bc i was an idiot by not actually trying to learn)

[runic quarry]

oh

how old are ya

[gloomy kraken]

wth

5 years is insane

[runic quarry]

well if you wanna change the upgrade

it depends on how you want to structure things

@blissful sparrow wait hold on

stop discussing your project first

how old are you?

[blissful sparrow]

do i need to tell you?

[runic quarry]

no

[blissful sparrow]

oky

[runic quarry]

but like

[blissful sparrow]

im not over 18

okay?

[runic quarry]

i know mb

[lost pebble]

that's what being young and dumb gets you

[runic quarry]

my bad

sometimes this stuff takes time

and you need to wait until you're old enough

cause like there's a lot of logic

and you might not be able to grasp it rn

[blissful sparrow]

wait look at my screen 1 sec

[runic quarry]

yes

yea i see

the addition function and stuff

yea sure

[blissful sparrow]

yes

[runic quarry]

properties?

i mean yea

i get you know these

i mean like not really

you can declare a variable without local

local just sets it in the local scope

i get that

and all

[blissful sparrow]

okay

[runic quarry]

you can declare a variable

and uh do math

[blissful sparrow]

lol

[runic quarry]

but i mean

to be honest for 2 years

thats not a lot

[blissful sparrow]

i was ling

i like start it like uhhh]

1-3 weeks (but i learn like 1h a day

sometimes never a day

[runic quarry]

oh ok

[blissful sparrow]

sry for wasting ur time 😦

[runic quarry]

i mean just keep at it

[blissful sparrow]

oky

[runic quarry]

but if you feel like its not fun

just take a break

[blissful sparrow]

i feel like its fun but i can only play on my pc 1-1:30 H a day 😭

[runic quarry]

welp

[blissful sparrow]

can i add you on discord?

[runic quarry]

tbh ion

that kinda sucks

[blissful sparrow]

ye

true

[lost pebble]

Part1 needs to be a BasePart. not the model itself

[nimble steeple]

saw it, i corrected it now, just got another problem now

but it doesn't dispear when i press the bind to pick up the sword

don't know if i need to use a tag for that

[lost pebble]

is the sheath a seperate mesh?

[nimble steeple]

yea

i mean, model

[lost pebble]

well, the model holds the sheath meshes. if you want it to simply go invisible, just set its transparency to 1. if you want the sheath to detach from the sword, disable/destroy whatever is holding it together

in code, have it 0 when unequipped, then 1 when equipped

or have it detach if you want it visible on your back when holding it

[nimble steeple]

if action == "Equip/UnEquip" and not char:GetAttribute("Equipped") then --equipping
char:SetAttribute("Equipped",true)

    Welds[plr].Part0 = rightArm
    Welds[plr].C1 = WeaponsWeld.Leather.HoldingWeaponWeld.C1
    
elseif action == "Equip/UnEquip" and char:GetAttribute("Equipped") then --unequipping
    char:SetAttribute("Equipped",false)

    Welds[plr].Part0 = torso
    Welds[plr].C1 = WeaponsWeld.Leather.IdleWeaponWeld.C1
end

in those line ?

[lost pebble]

yeah

[nimble steeple]

i got two mesh for the stealh too

isn't it a problem aswell?

cuz i can't make the model itself transparency, can i ?

[lost pebble]

no. you would just make both visible/invisible

[nimble steeple]

way too hard, i can't get it, the shealth isn't getting detected

local function SetSheatheVisible(char, visible)
local weapon = char:FindFirstChild("Leather")
if not weapon then
warn("Weapon 'Leather' not found in character")
return
end

local sheathe = weapon:FindFirstChild("Sheathe")
if not sheathe then
    warn("Sheathe not found in weapon")
    return
end

local mesh1 = sheathe:FindFirstChild("Meshes/BAO sword_S2")
local mesh2 = sheathe:FindFirstChild("Root")

if not mesh1 then warn("Mesh 'Meshes/BAO sword_S2' not found") end
if not mesh2 then warn("Mesh 'Root' not found") end

if mesh1 then mesh1.Transparency = visible and 0 or 1 end
if mesh2 then mesh2.Transparency = visible and 0 or 1 end

print("SetSheatheVisible ran. Visible =", visible)

end

[lost pebble]

is this a local script?

[nimble steeple]

yea

no

script

its like my weaponserver

[lost pebble]

i would fire a RemoteEvent to then change the transparency of the meshes. unless you're already doing that

[nimble steeple]

the only remoteevent i have rn is purely for equipping the sword

[lost pebble]

so you're firing that and using that function, right?

[tardy pasture]

please tell me u first handle it on the client before sending it to the server

[nimble steeple]

yea but, it don't use it on the hide shealthe

[lost pebble]

so then what calls that function?

[tardy pasture]

do u first equip it on the client and then send it to the server ?

believe me do this

[nimble steeple]

end

end)

[tardy pasture]

if there is a player with high ping it wont feelresponsive

[nimble steeple]

thats the current code of the weaponserver

deleted the previous part for the hiding stealhe since it didn't worked

and thats my weaponhandler

-- SERVICES --
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")

-- FOLDERS --
local ClientRemotes = RS.Remotes.Client

-- EVENTS --
local WeaponsEvent = ClientRemotes.WeaponsEvent

---

uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, isTyping)
if isTyping then return end

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.One then 
    WeaponsEvent:FireServer("Equip/UnEquip")
end

end)

[tardy pasture]

ye u dont handle it on the client first

in here handle the equip first : if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.One then
WeaponsEvent:FireServer("Equip/UnEquip")
end

client sided

so it feel responsive for the owner off the sword

[nimble steeple]

tryna figure out how to hide my stealthe actually

would optimize the code later if its look too much spagetti and have ton of lag

[tardy pasture]

the hell is a stealthe ?

[nimble steeple]

the cache for a weapon

that

[tardy pasture]

and why do u wanna hide it ?

[nimble steeple]

cuz

[tardy pasture]

ah

[nimble steeple]

who the hell handle a sword with a stealthe on

[tardy pasture]

lol

well thats a ez fix

[nimble steeple]

depends for who, im 2iq when it comes to code

[tardy pasture]

just put the cache in a seperate model

and the sword also in a diffrent model

[nimble steeple]

don't pay attention to the actual tags

theyre useless

[tardy pasture]

create a diffrent model for the sheathe

and weld that to the charachter where the sword should be

then if u equip the sword the sheate will remain in place

[modern mantle]

Mo vent

[tardy pasture]

te hell do gie ier

[modern mantle]

Kiken

[nimble steeple]

so i separate my sheathe form my leather sword ?

[tardy pasture]

basicly yes

[tardy pasture]

tot wane e je school

[modern mantle]

Tot vijf

[tardy pasture]

baha

[nimble steeple]

but, i've got the sheathe in my Replicatedstorage and im my serverscript

[modern mantle]

Helpt em mo ne bitje

[tardy pasture]

what ?

just weld the sheathe where the sword would be welded to the character

[nimble steeple]

it would work alone then, theres no current function for the sheathe ITSELF

like, only the whole sword is getting dragged when im using my bind to pick it up

if i'll separate the sheathe form it and put it in a different folder, it would do absoluty nothing

[tardy pasture]

isnt that what u wanted ?

to only equip the sword an leave the sheathe behind

[lost pebble]

something is attaching the meshes together. you have to delete it

[nimble steeple]

wht

[lost pebble]

like a weld or something

[nimble steeple]

theres nothing inside

[lost pebble]

the weld/constraint doesnt have to be parented to the mesh itself to attach it to something

look for any welds/constraints where one of the parts if one of the meshes

[hollow forum]

hello 🙂

hi

[proper flicker]

I want to make a quests system compatible with daily, weekly, monthly and normal quests.

For quests I would use
type Quest = "Daily" | "Weekly" | "Montly" | "Normal" |
I would also like for a function that I made update quest progression, which it would do by looping through all of the quest objects the player has. However if a questhad multiple data types how could I set that up?

type QuestData = "Coins" & "Diamonds"

Or would I just loop through the progression types in the quest instance like
{
Type = "Daily"
Progress = {
["Coins"] = 10
["Diamonds"] = 50
}
} and then a seperate module for the requirements.

Nvm realized I should just loop through progression since its a type alr

[loud stratus]

dont bother learning to script now

[proper flicker]

Wdym

[loud stratus]

if you are just starting out honestly just vibe code

[hollow forum]

yuh bro wdym?

[proper flicker]

Ive been coding for a year and I was using imperative coding but I would like to learn oop as it fits more for optimizations cleaner codes and bigger frameworks and much more. I alr was using modules and such so I was technically partially doing so but I was just using it for reusability and frameworks not much for it being oop.

[ancient urchin]

never knew that luau has official mascot lol (until now)

[loud stratus]

you dont need oop with roblox projects

[proper flicker]

What about optimization and such

And could you explain why many people were telling me to switch to oop

[loud stratus]

oop doesnt provide optimisation

it only provides organisation

and that is why its encouraged but its completely optional

you do not need oop

[proper flicker]

What about it being intuitive thats why it started existing in the first place

[wild heath]

Is there a way to make invisible frame with a button and make it all invisible but u still if u click on the button place it clicks it?

[loud stratus]

its not you'd have to get into metatables and metamethods

theirs more work

oop is just about organisation

[proper flicker]

No only by making the frames bg invisible but not through visible property as it disables all the childs visibility and active property

[loud stratus]

not having to repeat yourself

[wild heath]

Any idea

[loud stratus]

you can already do that with a modular based system

[wild heath]

Ok so itis possible through back ground visibilty

[proper flicker]

I want to do such because it helps organization and such and learning diff types of progrmming is better

[somber vault]

using velocity from a localscript to make a partmove when you touch it, how do you make it slow down and then stop?

[loud stratus]

type casting is completely optional its just scripters who have egos do it to make themselves look smart

the same goes with learning roblox typescript

its all an ego / signal mechanism

even though roblox ts is slower since it has to get compiled into lua

[proper flicker]

Was me lol I want to change such

[loud stratus]

they are just asking for a performance loss

[proper flicker]

I wanna stay with luau

[somber vault]

using velocity from a localscript to make a partmove when you touch it, how do you make it slow down and then stop?

[loud stratus]

Stick to a modular based codebase, and learn parrallel scripting

as well as serialising binary data via buffers

and use useful dependencies such as goodsignal made by stravant

thats the only advice u need

dont listen to anyone else's bs

back in my exploiting days I used to decompile these front page games

their code base was complete dogshit

no use of modules, no oop, nothing

dont overthink it

overthinking is the biggest problem I made in roblox development

[proper flicker]

But so what ur telling me is I dont need to use oop or start using it and just structure my code better and use types? To prevent issues

[loud stratus]

u dont need types unless ur coding in strict mode which again is optional

people only use type casting for intellisense thats all

[flat wagon]

shit im in the wrong channel. #code-help

[loud stratus]

and u dont need oop

[proper flicker]

Well ig I am but I just wanna improve organization and such cuz I had many times where I had to look into stuff for hours due to bad structure and such stuff

[loud stratus]

a modular service / controller based codebase is a great way to organise ur code base

similiar to Knit however I would not use it since its obsolete

if you want to learn oop you can its optional though just as how type casting is optional

[loud stratus]

all u need is my advice ^

[proper flicker]

But is it worth it

[loud stratus]

not imo

[proper flicker]

Type casting I feel like yes

[loud stratus]

I've used oop many times before

theirs no need

I can code systems normally just fine and not have to use oop

[proper flicker]

Can u add me for more advice urs is so gud its the same thing my dad said hes a full time programmer my first language was luau and I feel in love in roblox game devving I wanna make a livving off id it one day

Cuz I have some more questsions

[loud stratus]

ok

come to me anytime

[proper flicker]

Tysm for helping me I would have overthought this lol

Ill ask u smth a bit later if thats okay in dms

[loud stratus]

wtv u need

[ornate needle]

guys i wanna start my first scripting practice, where do i start and what system is the easiest to start with

[next escarp]

If player touched a part there exist a event to detect (part.Touched) it then what event exist and what to do when player unstepped of the part

[light gust]

can someone gimme a task

[slender yew]

I recently made a modular hunger system

my first modular based code

[slender yew]

Oop is really useful tho u can say otherwise

[loud stratus]

its not useful

its not needed at all

their are many ways to avoid repeating urself

[gaunt delta]

It isn’t needed but it’s a lot easier to make stuff once you learn it

[slender yew]

Thats what I’m saying, it makes creating complex systems THAT much easier, since U just make each part separately and then just combine them wherever

[slender yew]

Im curious to know

OOP is the one I know

this just screams for itself

[night gazelle]

The kind of file structure isn't exclusive to OOP

You call that Modularity and not OOP

[tulip wyvern]

whats the api to get the updated time of a place i can't find it anywhere

[night gazelle]

Is it server time or a date time

Or you mean the actual place latest published date

[tulip wyvern]

yes this

[night gazelle]

@tulip wyvern Search for Roblox Cloud API Get Place

I can't send a link

/cloud/v2/universes/{universe_id}/places/{place_id}

[loud stratus]

That’s why I don’t argue with people in this server

Most don’t know what their talking about

[night gazelle]

OOP favors Modularity but they are not equivalent

You can do ECS and still be using Modular system

Lots of frameworks are modular but that doesn't mean they use the OOP paradigm

[stark fjord]

i want when someone donates it sends to the new textchatservice
i want you to transfer it from oldlegacychatservice to the new textchatservice

someone told me to do this

does anyone know what it means or how to do it?

[steady cove]

guys I want to use rbxUtil does vs code necessary

[silver verge]

no

[silver verge]

read the documentation on textchatservice

[steady cove]

alr how can I add it without using aftman or smth

[stark fjord]

d oyou know how to do it?

im paying

[silver verge]

copy the source from github

[silver verge]

read the docs man

[stark fjord]

damn

im not a scripter tho

[lime gyro]

Y'all got any tutorial to replicate a physics based projectile/ball/throwable movements?

[hardy pilot]

-- on render stepped
velocity += gravity * deltaTime
position += velocity

[lime gyro]

This with heartbeat?

...

[lime gyro]

Idk what's that

[hardy pilot]

Well it should work with heartbeat too

[lime gyro]

Aight I'll check

[lime gyro]

Ever considered loops?

[maiden karma]

why use loops when you can js write about it like that

[regal bough]

can i submit a react app on programmer application html, css or they only accept vanilla

[rapid silo]

not sure if this is a code issue but u scripters usually know the solutions to most problems

is there any way to allow materials to show alongside surface appearances

e.g if i want neons to show on a mesh that has a surface appearance applied

[regal bough]

chess.js exist

[rapid silo]

or do I have to have the mesh seperated

[silent niche]

Guys Any of you What type of Script i should make for a Tool Cutscenes ?

[thin nova]

why do that when you can write all 10^40 board combinations

[marsh rain]

lol

[ionic oar]

i believe tintmask might be what ur looking for

[ionic oar]

???

[silent niche]

i have made an skill and i want to make a cutscenes but idk what i need to do

and since i am broke i ask gpt

[ionic oar]

use a local script and work on some camera manipulation

[silent niche]

that why i need to know what i need to ask

[ionic oar]

ye ask it how to manipulate the camera

for a cutscene

[silent niche]

wdym

I ask it to make me a Camera script that when i use the tool it play the animation ?

[ionic oar]

im sure if you just ask it how do i add a cutscene to this skill it will tell you

[silent niche]

kk

[tepid slate]

Wtf bruh

[fleet gull]

How does ProfileService work

[karmic coral]

who knows the game: stay alive and flex your time on others. or any stay alive/steal time game if u do dm me.

[deft pasture]

Loops would be smart and easier

[turbid torrent]

While making my gun system was relatively easy, it was still quite a bit of work organizing it for modularity.
I free modelled the gun models, not the scripts.

[karmic coral]

dm me to make a stay alive game / steal time sort of game i need a scripter i pay per task

[violet oriole]

guys does anyone know hot to make lobby gui

[karmic coral]

i can ig

[violet oriole]

i want something simple

but i cant pay you right now

[karmic coral]

okk

go dms

[lean ocean]

now make a viewmodel gun system

[limpid raft]

guys i just did a devex request for the first time and i clicked cash out,what should i do now?

[turbid torrent]

Now you just wait for an email to make an account on Tipalti or whatever Roblox uses to pay developers.

[calm vessel]

does anyone know a good general place to start from if i'm trying to learn how to manipulate characters (like making vaulting/climbing etc.), ive tried a few times in the past and just can't really get it down

just realized this is probably a better question for code help

[nova scaffold]

What are "free scripts"

[night drift]

what way did you guys learn scripting?

[umbral carbon]

Tinkering with models

And just watched YouTube videos in my free time

I didn't even follow along, and that was a bad decision

[light pollen]

Urime

[fringe barn]

There he is!

[leaden perch]

can someone help me

with my code

[undone trench]

is there any good scripters that can help me rq

[frosty flume]

Guys if i used external API to check if people follows me on roblox to use codes would that be unsafe? Cuz rblx doesnt allow it and they might do smth

[open oracle]

Go for it

Whats the worst that could happen?

[cinder zinc]

Why doesn't processreceipt work on team test?

[alpine river]

Anyone wanna help me/teach me how to make a summoning system bro

[lofty plinth]

Its technically against TOS

And good chance they act on it

[alpine epoch]

looking for someoen to help me make gui shops/buttons

[ionic oar]

by help do u mean script them for u or do u just need a bit of help

[deft pasture]

bet

[tame echo]

who is a very experienced scripter that has made games before and wants to work on one, we are gathering a team and we have some ideas to mind

[timber star]

Im triying to do an ApplyImpulse for a Knockback system in a server script but it seems that applyImpulse only work in a local script? Should i use fireAllClients or other method?

[distant tiger]

well you wouldnt need fireallclients just fire to the client you want to knockback. Character movements and animations bypass FE, they are automatically replicated

[polar furnace]

somebody give me a task to do in roblox studio (scripter)

[timber star]

What is FE?

[timber star]

Make a pong minigame

[distant tiger]

make a job system that pays at an interval that can be configured per job. Each job should include different ranks you can attain by simply working and gaining xp. The next rank higher should pay more and it varies across different jobs

[distant tiger]

filtering enabled

[somber vault]

would this be easy to make? (the golf ball system)

[shell heart]

Ye

[somber vault]

what would i do

[timber star]

So do you recommend me to use applyimpulse over assemblyLinearVelocity / VectorForce?

[shell heart]

apply a force on the ball

[somber vault]

ah, when the player holds down their screen?

when an input is detected basically

[distant tiger]

^^ and im assuming you'd also need a scaling system to go along with the player being able to apply a certain amount of force to the ball. but overall relatively easy to make

[shell heart]

yes

so clamp the force value

[somber vault]

ok, thank you

[spare zealot]

Whoever needs a scripter, I'm your guy. DM me if you can pay, if not then don't because I don't do scripting for free, I gotta be able to actually get money off of my time

[distant tiger]

Yes, use ApplyImpulse. A LinearVelocity would be constant and I assume you want your character to not infinitely go back lol

[timber star]

And does it look smooth?

Because i see some people using bodyvelocity

[distant tiger]

well if you want a more controlled movement, like if you were flying, or a slow push, or if you needed to last for a more extended duration then BodyVelocity or just custom movement . But for something like a simple Knockback, ApplyImpulse would get it done and is more ideal

[dusky moon]

can a remote event be referecened from a script to a script

or is that what module's are for

[jolly vessel]

What bro

[somber vault]

whoever gets my script to work i can pay 500 dm me

[jolly vessel]

Word

[somber vault]

yes. im abt to crash out

[jolly vessel]

What's the script

[somber vault]

local spawnersFolder = workspace

[jolly vessel]

Chatgpt ahh code

[somber vault]

so u cant fix it?

[jolly vessel]

I can

It's just everything in it is wrong

Chatgpt isn't a scripter gng

[somber vault]

i deleted the idea anyway

but the game i wanna make is too hard

[lofty plinth]

What type of game is it?

[jolly vessel]

What kinda game is it

[somber vault]

i wanna make a game like dungeon quest

id build but i dont got ui or scripters

[lofty plinth]

You'll get it with time and alot sooner than u think with determination

Just learn rather than depend on ai and free code

[somber vault]

nah

i js learned my building in like 3 weeks. i dont wanna learn more stuff for now

[lofty plinth]

Its always worth learning even if its a small bit

Can help with building 2

[somber vault]

a really big builder learned me my building. he made shit for stuff like blue lock rivals etc

plus i just got done with the lobby today so i wanna focus on improving

[stiff cloud]

{"print+&"( "hello world" ) = true +

[lofty plinth]

Scripting is perfect you don't need to dive into the deep end

Just learning how to use it with builds is enough

Gives u a taste of it

[somber vault]

bro i barely built for 3 weeks

and people say i look like i built for a year or 2

[lofty plinth]

Think about having moving parts in ur builds or having objects change when ur near them

The very basics

[jolly vessel]

Hire some

[somber vault]

lmao

im not that bad

[lofty plinth]

Then u can slowly work from what u have

Thats the point

[somber vault]

the lobby is done

i js cant continue without the ui and scripts

[jolly vessel]

What the lobby look like

[solemn root]

ngl Imma learn scirpting again

what videos should i check out

[somber vault]

im gonna add a place to sell and upgrade

[jolly vessel]

That actually looks really nice wth

Wow

[somber vault]

meh

made it ina day didnt wanna spend too much time

[jolly vessel]

Cmon

It looks really good

You should hire a ui designer

I can help with scripting if you want

[somber vault]

i dont wanna spend money on my first game

icl

[jolly vessel]

Then you gotta learn

[somber vault]

plus the main prob will be models

i could prob enslave 2 of my friends

and get them by tmr

[jolly vessel]

Then do it

[somber vault]

no point

i still wont have ui

[jolly vessel]

Learn

Ui isn't that hard to do

[somber vault]

animations? effects?

[jolly vessel]

You're cooked

I don't think dungeon quest has complex animations and effects

Just steal them

[somber vault]

nope

if i make a game i wanna make shit myself

js stealing stuff is laz

[jolly vessel]

Use them as inspiration

[somber vault]

i wont learn ui or animations if i started deving bc of building

if i cant make the game i just wont

[jolly vessel]

Damn

[somber vault]

what else could i do in the map which i dont need too much models for

the windmills also have animations

[jolly vessel]

Idk anything about maps

I'm just a braindead scripter

[somber vault]

i mean like what other game could i make

[jolly vessel]

Try thinking of something simpler

[somber vault]

i was thinking of sum

but ud need ui

2 casted and you would have to attack each other breaking the enemys flag placed int he middle of the base

ud also have a arrow and could go on top of walls etc

[cursive spire]

is there any way to view the history of script edits of a certain script

[jolly vessel]

No

[somber vault]

how much do u charge to script the whole game

[jolly vessel]

Depends on the game and what I'm gonna be doing

[somber vault]

play button then u gotta choose red or blue. a server list where u can see kills etc and a gamepass where u get a staff and a vip gamepass. alsoa dono lb

[jolly vessel]

That stuff is pretty simple ngl

Oop

[somber vault]

sooo?

[jolly vessel]

Idk

[short nacelle]

can anyoone here help me debug something really small in my game

[somber vault]

also a 5% health boost if ur in the group and another 10 if u follow someone

[jolly vessel]

I would feel bad if I charged you for that stuff

[somber vault]

dms

[rapid silo]

unfortunately its just the color, not the material

[spice summit]

you should totally put an annoying bright shit ui that has abunch of shit you can buy like pets, way too little money for what your paying, and a wheel spin

all the other kids at school are doing

[rain hound]

is it more optimized to clone a sound from replicatedstorage and play it on a part versus always having the sound in the part and playing it? (via a script)

[jolly vessel]

If you're gonna have multiple parts playing the sound just clone

[rain hound]

since i have just 1 part playing the sound, would always having the sound in the part be better than cloning it?

[jolly vessel]

Have the sound in the part then

[rain hound]

k thx

[delicate quarry]

any computer science student or grad here?

[jolly vessel]

Wrong server for that bro

[sullen fox]

check #code-help

[onyx inlet]

Code help is full of bots

Sometimes

[jolly vessel]

I'm watching you...

[gaunt ridge]

this isnt advanced but nice

[solar surge]

i just didnt add the animations

otherwise it has some detailed features

[gaunt ridge]

i rate it a 8/10

[solar surge]

it has gun swaying

camera bobbing

[solar surge]

hmm i agree

[gaunt ridge]

its pretty good

[solar surge]

should add animatation

[gaunt ridge]

ye

[solar surge]

ty

[gaunt ridge]

add that and i rate it 9.5

nice work

[solar surge]

ty

i should find an animator to do that

[gaunt ridge]

you can try to cook up some urself and see how it turns out

or if you want to find an animator you can also do that

[solar surge]

i should prolly

it cant be that hard

[ashen badge]

Famous last words 💔

[solar surge]

😭 i gave up

ill ask someone to do it

[spice summit]

i feel like thats the one thing they teach ppl not to say 🙏

[solemn roost]

❌ vibe code the whole game

[livid sandal]

Hi, does anyone know how to program games? I have a project in mind, obviously I'll pay money.

[iron skiff]

U doing comms for scripting

?

[iron skiff]

@jolly vessel u doing comms?

[solar surge]

uh yes

[iron skiff]

How much for this

[solar surge]

dms

@iron skiff

[iron skiff]

K

[hoary cedar]

75k R$ or more, depending on the specifics of the teleport and movement system, and how much UI there is to script

[harsh stream]

what can I add/improve at?

[hoary cedar]

Green's an ugly colour

[harsh stream]

well, green indicates that it's a common chest, the colors are assigned depending on rarity

[fossil salmon]

bring back the flying thing

[somber vault]

some one try?

pleassee

[nova scaffold]

Are you asking someone to run it?

[somber vault]

Ye?

[nova scaffold]

It works then.

I ran it.

[somber vault]

is good?

LOL

jk

but dont go running anything in ur pc

[nova scaffold]

Ofc I read it before running

I understand what it did

and I ran it on an online compiler

[somber vault]

thank god it was me or it might be another MyDoom

[somber vault]

ah ok

[undone trench]

is anybody an experienced scripter I need a little help!

[runic quarry]

I'd guess there'd be at least one here

[errant narwhal]

Hello, just to inform everyone. Do NOT take commission from @adi_royyy . It is a scam, he will ask you to add UI guy into studio where you make scripts and they will just steal it without paying you.

[hoary cedar]

Never let anyone into your project

That's a given, lol

Did you make a report?

[hoary cedar]

Wait a minute

I recognize that profile

Weren't they offering a stupid amount of money for a job?

Yeah. $500 USD

[plucky plank]

Would it be more efficient to program the characteristics of npc's all in one main module on serverscriptservice ... or give each npc a script?

[hoary cedar]

I thought it was too good to be true

[hoary cedar]

Use modules to divide unique behaviour, then build one system which centralizes NPC spawning and AI control

You start a new thread for the NPC

Should all work through interfaces

[worn ingot]

This module so good bruh

[plucky plank]

do you mean a module per npcs or one moduel with everytjmg

[worn ingot]

I have a script in serverscript service that handles the events for it

[plucky plank]

there is no waythat works

[plucky plank]

yo what

[plucky plank]

o

[plucky plank]

did you make this?

[worn ingot]

so like

not the module

[hoary cedar]

Actually, it does

[plucky plank]

dude thats so cool

[hoary cedar]

It abuses niche syntax loopholes

[worn ingot]

ok so the way my npc system works is theres a serverscript that handles spawn events

and it calls the entity creator with the parameters

[hoary cedar]

You should generally avoid using those loopholes

[worn ingot]

and the entitycreator creates the entity and assigns its data

[hoary cedar]

There's no need to go that far in emulating OOP

[plucky plank]

o

[worn ingot]

and for each npc

it gives it the entity module

which is basically the character controller

so humanoid npcs and players share the humanoid controller

but monsters have their own

[plucky plank]

wdym give it the entity module?

[worn ingot]

what is your game like

do you have a script that handles stuff like character attacks etc

[worn ingot]

why

module is very intuitive

[worn ingot]

dud if u want help answer the question...

[hoary cedar]

Violates standard and Roblox-set conventions, inhibits natural readability, adds overhead

[plucky plank]

so currently i have a script that handles enemies by using threads.. where it just uses move to

but now i need to make my troops...:
i haven't decided on how the troop system works.. cuz i dont want to deal with extreme lag..

[worn ingot]

i mean im pretty sure the module can be called conventionally it just looks uglier

[hoary cedar]

It's unconventional

https://roblox.github.io/lua-style-guide/

The overhead matters more, lol

[worn ingot]

what is your game about

a tower defense or rpg or what?

[plucky plank]

tds game

so no troop movement

[worn ingot]

oh for a tds game

[plucky plank]

ya

[worn ingot]

you should do your npcs on the client

and only store essential data on the server

[plucky plank]

but then i would need to replicate it to everyone

[worn ingot]

alr ill just call it the conventional way

[worn ingot]

yes but you need to do this to make a good tds game

its gonna be really really laggy otherwise

theres good tutorials on it i think

i think suphi has one

[plucky plank]

o ur probably right tbh

[plucky plank]

do you think the client side can handle that many npcs though

[worn ingot]

yes

[plucky plank]

idk i always assume that the server is better computational wise then the clinet

[worn ingot]

www.youtube.com/@5uphi

[worn ingot]

hell no

dont do needless calculations on the server

[plucky plank]

breh

[worn ingot]

server should ideally only be used for important logic

in an ideal optimized game every effect, building, etc is done on the client

and the server just handles data

in my rpg all effects are done on the client as well as some other stuff

[plucky plank]

bruh... i feel dumb lol

[worn ingot]

you can offload a lot more work to the client then you can do on the serevr

[plucky plank]

i was told that vfx is really the only thing to do on client (besides gui and stuff)

[worn ingot]

i mean realistically it is for most projects

but for some like tds games you also have to do the enemies

treat the enemies as vfx

the display of the enemies is the vfx

and the actual logic behind them is on the server

[worn ingot]

btw u dont ever have to do this

[plucky plank]

so basically only spawn them on all clients* but handle the spawning on the server (like when or how much its being spawned)

[worn ingot]

this is insanely impractical

[worn ingot]

Idk how to describe it

i havent made a tds game

But i guess you would have a table of npcs positions or something on the serevr

and the npc data like the enemy type or something

and then you give the position data to the client

and then the client makes the enemies and syncs them with the data

[plucky plank]

hmm buit then i have to becareful of exploiters

[worn ingot]

what can they do

if you do all the calculations on the serevr exploiters cant do shit

[plucky plank]

oh yeah...

all they can do is stop the npcs locally

[worn ingot]

yeah

[plucky plank]

but the npcs will still be moving for all other clients

[worn ingot]

it would still go on the server

so basically treat the enemies in a tds game as vfx because they basically are just vfx

im pretty sure most enemies in tds games are just like static guys that walk at different speeds with different health

[reef fjord]

https://streamable.com/vto95t
why is my shit cursed bro

[plucky plank]

they are .. tbh im not making any high quality tds game

so its not like i need to put crazy things

[worn ingot]

yes

and even if you did make some boss npc with advanced logic or something down the line

[plucky plank]

the logic can jsut be replicated to clients like advanced vfx

or combat systems

[worn ingot]

u can still just do the logic on the server and replicate it to the client because nothing in a tds game is based on reactions etc

even some rpgs do what im talking about where the npcs are all on the client

im pretty sure vesteria does

[plucky plank]

o.. and i guess it would be high quality because it wont look like there is any lag

[worn ingot]
