[worn ingot]

i think it will get you started

yes

[plucky plank]

tyy

[worn ingot]

im doing a similar thing in my rpg

but only for non hostile npcs

because my npcs are way too advanced to justify making them client sided as well

good luck

[plucky plank]

???

[plucky plank]

o ty

[worn ingot]

idk i might make them client sided eventually

its just hard with the current system and not worth the effort

[plucky plank]

cuz like you said the server has less computational power then the client so wouldn't it be faster if they are client sided?

[worn ingot]

yea i suppose but the logic would have to be done on the server anyways

otherwise an exploiter could mess with it

[plucky plank]

o fair

[worn ingot]

i might make them like a gray cube on the server and the client renders the humanoid

but thats still a lot of work

because the way i have it set up enemy npcs and players have the same systems

[plucky plank]

o i see

[plucky plank]

wouldnt the client see that though?

bruh i need to learn more about networking

[worn ingot]

no it would be invisible on the client

[worn ingot]

yea its important

[plucky plank]

how would you render something differently on the client and server? unless you rebuild the entire npcs on the client?

or.. just use two different models*

[errant narwhal]

Oh no I didn't get scammed, just felt a need to say it

he hired like 10 scripters to work on the same task. Bro is so intelligent he added everyone into same server

[hoary cedar]

You said it was a scam?

[plucky plank]

but you said it was a scam??

[hoary cedar]

Probably means he nearly fell for it

[plucky plank]

o

[errant narwhal]

Look, he offers 500 dollars for quite a easy job, he had 10 scripters working on the same task, and wanted to add his UI guy into the project

If that doesn't scream scam then idk

[hoary cedar]

It does to me

The profile picture is definitely a trap too, lol

[errant narwhal]

Yup, that is NOT a girl 😭

[worn ingot]

you just change it on the client

because it doesnt replicate

[plucky plank]

o

[errant narwhal]

Hello, just to inform everyone. Do NOT take commission from @adi_royyy . It is a scam, he offers 500 dollars for something that can be made in few hours, he also had 10 different scripters working on same task and he will ask you to add his UI guy into studio where you make scripts and they will just steal it without paying you. For anyone wondering I didn't fall for it, I am just warning everyone else.

[lost pebble]

changing something on the client only changes it for the client that the action was done on. changing something on the server changes it for all clients

[plucky plank]

Yeah but cuz the server replicates it to clients rendering two different models one for the server and one for the client is confusing for me .. but I think I understand how to do it

[lost pebble]

you make a model (or ig a block in this case) on the server which replicates to all clients. then, each client makes a rig associated with that previously made model/block

[inner aurora]

if i need help do i write here??

oop mb i saw the channel

[trim basin]

Can confirm, put out a report. I'm glad I ain't bite and didn't use the team create

[worthy turret]

why does scripting get 2 channels this is not fair 😡

[lost pebble]

*3

[worthy turret]

wheres the 3rd

[lost pebble]

it's a sercret cool hidden one

[trim basin]

scripters just superior i guess (no creativity to build or model)

[worthy turret]

yo I just got featured 🤑

I'm using that untapped method

[trim basin]

aura

[worthy turret]

yeah

I just get on featured for comms lmao

dms been kinda dry

[trim basin]

I feel u man

The discord so full getting one comm is a missionb

[worthy turret]

I just keep getting scam commissions 😭

but I don't take them

you can tell its a scam

[trim basin]

way too many scammers out here

[worthy turret]

one guy told me 50k then in dms he said 500-50k

thats crazy work

[trim basin]

LMFAO

50k to 500 is nasty man

[worthy turret]

yeah so he was gonna make me build a map for 2 usd

[trim basin]

Im just tryna get some shit for my portfolio while also comming

[worthy turret]

hope you get good comms 🙏

[trim basin]

You too bro

hi guys, is it better to create a prompt with just a single billboardgui, or should i create it with the actual "ProximityPrompt" object?

[open salmon]

u can make a custom proximityprompt using billboardgui

[open remnant]

Depends

Are you looking for a basic prompt or a customized prompt

[nocturne mirage]

Does anyone know how to fix a "cube shadow" where it would be placed, but not showing ? For eg, placing a cube on tile A1 but when i want to place a cube on the A1_Y1, the shadow is still snapping on A1 tile and not on top of that A1_Y1 cube

[brisk token]

i just saw some code where it was checking a players head color and it was something along the lines of player.head.color == brick.new(insertcolorhere) why did they make it brick.new or whatever and not just set the head.color to a color

dm me to make a sword fighting / steal time game ill pay for adds. u get 70% of the game +2k robux
and btw u must be experienced in scripting. i do vfx ui and modeling

[sudden estuary]

not here pal

2k robux is 7 dollars

[karmic coral]

its mainly for fun im just giving the robux as an extra besides i pay for ads so that 70% is worth it

[sudden estuary]

people may not work for fun. alos the 70% is not even guaranteed

it could be 70% of 100 robux or 100 million robux

[rugged mist]

facts

wtf

[potent bolt]

what advice do yall give to people who try to use localplayer on a server script

[pure wolf]

Localplayer is attached to all Local Scripts to be the Player that owns it, while in a ServerScript they have no owner, so localplayer wont work there

[autumn obsidian]

hello everyone, I have a question. making a building system in which you can place a table on a grid floor, once placed, you can destroy it or change its position. is network ownership required for such task? thank for answering, I really appreciate it.

[pure wolf]

look up How to create a Plot Placement System in Roblox #1 - Plots & Players on youtube, full guide for exactly what you want in steps

[potent bolt]

network ownership is for physics, when placing a table on a grid floor it's anchored, right? so it doesn't move

[autumn obsidian]

yes, I want it to be anchored. but still be able to move later on to a different position.

[potent bolt]

do you want the player moving the table to be visible to other players?

[autumn obsidian]

nope

[potent bolt]

then if other players don't need to see the table that the player is moving, then network ownership is not required as you're not replicating anything (moving and showing to other players)

[tight hearth]

Is there any advanced scripters here looking for like really good modeling and mapping work.

[autumn obsidian]

thank you so much, really appreciate it ❤️

[autumn obsidian]

thank you, will watch!

[karmic coral]

dm me if ur an advanced/experienced scripter i have a com for u

is it worth making a tapper game at this point?

[stoic vine]

who ever can help with my hood game can get robux

dm me

i need some scripters

[woeful river]

guys im bored, can you give me something to script? (im around low intermediate level)

[twilit stump]

can you make a sistem that only let's your send a RemoteEvent and if the person isn't you he/she gets kicked

[woeful river]

idk how to kick people yet

[twilit stump]

then kill he/she that tried

[woeful river]

ok

dont think i need a remote event for it

[twilit stump]

but the RemoteEvent is the main thing of the idea

make a sistem that only let's your send a message trough RemoteEvent and if the person isn't you he/she dies

[woeful river]

its hard for me to understand what your saying 😭

[twilit stump]

so you have the event

if someone do :FireEvent

and if that person isn't you

she dies

[candid kestrel]

[boreal condor]

Make the GUI fully functional, including the Drop, Use, and Give buttons, the Amount input slot, Hotkey slots, Ground slots, and Inventory slots. GUI made already payin $10

[dusky moon]

I'm a newbie at scripting, I already have the basics done, but I wanna know how I can improve from here. What would yall suggest I do to improve at scripting?

[candid kestrel]

just make shit

[dusky moon]

That's what I've been doing making random system and shit, but still wanted to ask if there was a better and a proficient way of getting better

[candid kestrel]

i mean not really, maybe making a mini game

like a game based around a system

to practice connecting multip[le elements

but besides that theres not really much u can do besides practice

[dusky moon]

Appreciate the time and feedback

Goodluck

[karmic coral]

lf a scripter for my game ill pay u must be experienced

[normal swan]

learn the easy stuff then hard stuff really

all hard stuff is just a whole bunch of easy stuff

[mossy yoke]

hi

[candid kestrel]

hey

[rain hound]

do tweens automatically clean themselves (by cancelling) when the instance is destroyed? or does that need to be done manually

[random gulch]

pretty sure that happens automatically with any connection related to the instance

[fluid adder]

How do I create a system for my obby that when the player joins they are at the lobby then they click a UI button that teleports them to there last checkpoint. I need help please! Ping me if you respond. Tysm!

[hoary cedar]

That's a super easy feature to implement, lol

[fluid adder]

Could u help me?

[hoary cedar]

Do you have any Luau scripting experience?

[fluid adder]

I'm trying to learn I've been watching videos but its like japanese to me

[stable verge]

I've been scripting for 8 months. Do I start looking for commisions?

[random gulch]

no

you need a big portfolio

[hoary cedar]

Write me a function that, when given an array of unordered numbers, returns the most frequent number

In O(n) time, if you understand what that means

[rugged mist]

make a somewhat complex game and then look for commissions

[stable verge]

whats O(n)

[random gulch]

so the mode

[hoary cedar]

Linear growth

The function's time complexity should be proportional to the input size

For you, that means no nested loops

[hoary cedar]

So, attempt to do this without nesting loops

Formally, I'm asking you to produce an algorithm that yields the mode of a dataset

[stable verge]

um

ok

[hoary cedar]

In layman's terms, lol

[random gulch]

i guess its not that hard

[hoary cedar]

If you can do that, it shows an intermediate grasp on algorithm's and data-structures

That's enough to start taking basic jobs

[stable verge]

I don't know how 😔

[hoary cedar]

Do you wanna give it a go?

[random gulch]

sure its just counting the most frequent number

[stable verge]

where do i even start

[hoary cedar]

Make a function that accepts an array of numbers? Lol

[dark juniper]

Bro is destroying confidence one knowledge gap at a time

[dark juniper]

imma be fr dude this guy treating you like your a software dev

ur not your a Roblox dev your head ain’t all there

[hoary cedar]

A Roblox developer could solve this problem

[dark juniper]

what if he’s like 13

[hoary cedar]

A 13-year-old could do this too

[random gulch]

even they could solve it if they knew logic and luau

[hoary cedar]

It's all about how much you know, lol

[dark juniper]

give a more general programming assessment

[random gulch]

that is general enough

[hoary cedar]

It's as general as it gets

[dark juniper]

i hate to break it to you but your completely wrong

[random gulch]

how is that wrong?

@hoary cedar is this good? it returns 3

[hoary cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/spelling-mistake-minor-spelling-mistake-meme-gif-23650588

[hoary cedar]

Yep

It could be made cleaner though

[somber vault]

How would you guy's store stuff like equipment (backpacks, etc) im thinking just using a data table for each player and store which ones they own with the equippedBackpack and just save and load that data is that a fine way to do it?

have a ownedBackpacks = {} table
and then equippedBackpack

[stable verge]

Can i see you do it?

[random gulch]

im guessing the ipairs() loop is slower since its ordering the numbers?

[hoary cedar]

local function getFirstMode(numbers: {number}): number
    local result = nil

    local frequencies   = {}
    local bestFrequency = 0

    for _, number in numbers do
        frequencies[number] = (frequencies[number] or 0) + 1

        if bestFrequency < frequencies[number] then
            bestFrequency = frequencies[number]

            result = number
        end
    end

    return result
end

[random gulch]

def looks cleaner than mine (forgot to space)

[magic yacht]

why not just local result instead of local result = nil

[random gulch]

doesnt really matter

it just makes it more clear it equals nil

[random gulch]

i think theres a bug in your script because its printing 1 instead of 3 on my set of numbers?

[somber vault]

is there a way to force default R15 proportion sizes

[stable verge]

thanks

[random gulch]

why not just use r6?

[somber vault]

Hmm yeah

[random gulch]

and i think you can inside the same menu u change the avatars to use r6

[somber vault]

Wait actuallyi like the R6 look

good call

[hoary cedar]

There was, but I patched it

[somber vault]

is this a good way to do this

[spark carbon]

yall look at this fucking circle i made with terrain gen

[gaunt ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cute-cat-cat-dance-cute-cat-dance-ai-cat-gif-15064057413633942575

[sleek pasture]

is it possible to limit where mouse movement can go?

i'm wanting to have it so the mouse, while the frame is visible, can only move along the edge of the outer circle

[gaunt ridge]

i honestly have no idea

[sleek pasture]

because i'm making a weapon wheel, if the mouse moves say too far up, left, down, or right, and continues the circular motion, then it won't be orbiting the center circle, so wouldn't properly be rotating the cursor around its full area

[sleek pasture]

i'm fresh out of ideas, fingers crossed i can get some help from someone 🤞

[gaunt ridge]

get the radius of the circle

and the center of the Circle, so x, y

local function limitMousePosition(mousePos, centerX, centerY, radius)
    local distance = math.sqrt((mousePos.X - centerX)^2 + (mousePos.Y - centerY)^2)
    if distance > radius then
        local angle = math.atan2(mousePos.Y - centerY, mousePos.X - centerX)
        local newX = centerX + math.cos(angle) * radius
        local newY = centerY + math.sin(angle) * radius
        return UDim2.fromOffset(newX, newY)
    else
        return UDim2.fromOffset(mousePos.X, mousePos.Y)
    end
end```

i took this from google btw

it looks right to me 🤷‍♂️

[gaunt ridge]

oh wait is the uh

is there like an actual square frame thats not visible

💀

[sleek pasture]

it's a normal frame with a ui corner with max corner radius

then just a uistroke

[mental token]

Am sorry in advance for chucking such a big pile of text here, but everyone in #code-help is doing anything but helping when i sent it there, so im trying here

Im trying to script this box so that it will change color and toggle particals based off a rarity, which can also be reverted to original by doing the prompt. issue is, it is not changing to the correct things. It is almost like the box and output are running off two sepreate instances of the same script? What am i doing wrong here?

[gaunt ridge]

gotchu gotchu

[gaunt ridge]

u can get the radius by using the property in UICorner

[gaunt ridge]

and use this

[sleek pasture]

ya

[gaunt ridge]

its because

ur calling the function each time for the check

store it in a variable

inside the while task.wait()

do local randomEvent = chooserandomevent()

and then check if randomEvent == and stuff

and print(randomEvent) and all that stuff u wanna do

[mental token]

wait so

sorry trying to understand this

like how it would fix it

[gaunt ridge]

because

[mental token]

i dont have much knowledge to scripting so yeah

having to use every braincell for this lol

[gaunt ridge]

ur doing print(chooserandomevent())

chooserandomevent() returns the random event name or whatever.

now the problem is for each if statement ur doing chooserandomevent() again which returns a random event again which might not be the same one as when it was printed

so u can create a variable to store it

local randomEvent = chooserandomevent()

[mental token]

ohhhhhhhhhhh ok i understand now

[gaunt ridge]

itll be stored here

[mental token]

yeah that makes sense

[gaunt ridge]

👍

[mental token]

thank you so much

[gaunt ridge]

np

[mental token]

gonna try that there now

[gaunt ridge]

ight

[mental token]

ok yeah that fixed the issue

thanks again

gonna continue rattling my brain now lol

[gaunt ridge]

no problem lol

[tribal sandal]

GUYS THIS IS QUICK

is there a way to pause an animation while playing

like its playing and after a second it pauses

And after 2 seconds it resumes

[gaunt ridge]

:AdjustSpeed(0)
:AdjustSpeed(1)

[sleek pasture]

:AdjustSpeed() my beloved

used it a fair bit of times with some things

[tribal sandal]

Doesn't that consume alot of memory?

And it also resets

[sleek pasture]

wdym

[bronze path]

that's not the way things work lol.

[tribal sandal]

bruh just added it to my script and now this

[bronze path]

if you have a piece of code using a lot of memory, it could just be your implementation having logical errors

you haven't given much context beyond that

[tribal sandal]

No no it didnt consume alot of memory until i started using :AdjustSpeed()

[bronze path]

i highly doubt that it's because of AdjustSpeed by itself. this just feels like trolling

[sleek pasture]

^

[reef birch]

has anyone else encountered bad_weak_ptr in studio

[sleek pasture]

i don't think so

[reef birch]

i submitted a bug report for it over a month ago and they said theyre working on it but its not been fixed and its literally crashing my game

[tribal sandal]

lemme record it

alright @bronze path you had reason its not because of adjustspeed

[bronze path]

what was causing it?

[tribal sandal]

the "StopPushing" function

but anyways

[safe sail]

lf scripter who can do combat system, scripting animations and VFX etc dm for more info (small- medium) tasks.

[tribal sandal]

How do i make so animation doesnt reset?

[bronze path]

wdym exactly by reset? like the animation plays for one cycle, and doesn't loop? or does it abruptly stop at some point?

[tribal sandal]

nevermind, fixed

here is the main doc that has the problem

[glossy valley]

Is there an Arabic person who can help me explain OOP to me?

[upbeat jungle]

So i dont know how to code and I'm trying to make an NPC spawning script. It spawns one NPC that works perfectly and then just stops spawning them. however in previous iterations the NPC's didnt work but they were able to spawn in multiple

[jovial falcon]

send script to me in dms

[final cargo]

in my game, all players have an inventory of objects they own. no object ever lasts forever though, as each object has its own duration (could be seconds, minutes or even hours).
now, what i'm trying to do is have a gui that can display a countdown for each object so that players can see how much longer they have before an object disappears.

since different objects are going to have different durations (and therefore different countdowns), what would be the best way to make these countdowns?

i was thinking about running a thread on the server for each countdown, where every 1 second it decreases the duration by 1 and it sends the updated duration to the client. i have however two concerns with this method:

1. remote events can take a while to fire on the client if his wi-fi connection is bad (so the countdowns would lag)
2. the server would struggle to run many many countdowns at the same time for all of the players

[surreal compass]

Someone test my game pls

https://www.roblox.com/games/105449881994930/Boiling-Water-Reactor-Testing-Place

[final cargo]

another way would be to straight up run the countdowns on the client, but then i fear exploiters might edit the duration to infinite

L rizz

[jovial falcon]

it was chatgpt couldnt be fixed

oh dang

[mental token]

Me again, this time with a question on how to approch something.

i wanna make it so if the event chosen is the same as last time, it will not run. i already sat up a varable that should log what the last event was. Issue is now i need to make it rerun that for loop if it was the same event to get a new event. How could i do this? I tried to just type continue but as i expected - it did not work

been trying some things lol

local Events = {
["Fire"] = "FireEvent",

["Power"] = 30
}

local chooserandomevent = function()
local randomNum = math.random(1, 100)
local counter = 0
local lastEvent = nil

for rarity, weight in Rarities do
    counter += weight
    if randomNum <= counter then
        if lastEvent == rarity then

[bleak glade]

c++ is better for me

[mental token]

ye im trying the lather of those options, to make it repeat till it isnt the same one

i also cant get the "lastEvent" varable to update

[bleak glade]

https://github.com/LucasW962/Turned_Based_Combat is this good enough for the cpp role

[safe wren]

this is because the lastEvent variable is created inside the function. basically every time the function runs, lastEvent is set to nil

[mental token]

ohhhhh yeah that makes sense there. forgot bout that

[safe wren]

you have to declare the variable outside

try this

local lastEvent

local chooserandomevent = function()
    local totalWeight = 0
    for rarity, weight in Rarities do
        if rarity ~= lastEvent then
            totalWeight += weight
        end
    end

    local randomNum = math.random(1, totalWeight)
    local counter = 0

    for rarity, weight in Rarities do
        if rarity ~= lastEvent then
            counter += weight
            if randomNum <= counter then
                lastEvent = rarity
                return Events[rarity]
            end
        end
    end
end

the change I made was to total up the amount of weights, but not add the lastevent rarity to the total weight

and increment the counter based on the weight

if that makes sense

[mental token]

uhhhhhh might

trying to comprehend it

i never done any scripting in ages so XD

[safe wren]

see how you did math.random (1,100) to do like a percentage chance

out of 100%

[mental token]

yes

[safe wren]

this basically instead of 100%, it totals up based on the amount of values

so like if each rarity weight was 1, meaning
fire = 1
hardware = 1
power = 1

the chance to get each one would be the weight / Total weight

so 1/3

[mental token]

wait whats the if rarity lastevent then thing

like between it

is it a ~= or a -=

[cobalt compass]

how much should a scripter get paid to make a good game

[mental token]

computer is compressing it

[safe wren]

for rarity, weight in Rarities do
if rarity ~= lastEvent then
totalWeight += weight
end
end

this code block?

[mental token]

uhhhh

ye

that block

[safe wren]

that basically makes it only add the rarity if its not the last event

it only adds to the total weight based on the condition that it's not the last event, so it cant do the same event back to back

[mental token]

gonna be honest man

still pretty lost

my brain cannot comprehend this

[safe wren]

lol

[fringe barn]

lol

[safe wren]

hmm

[fringe barn]

hmm

[mental token]

this is why i plan on doing art and design for a career and not programming smh

anyways

[safe wren]

haha man its easy it just takes time to understand some weird mechanics

[fringe barn]

haha man its easy it just takes time to understand some weird mechanics

[safe wren]

i can try to explain it better if that might help

[fringe barn]

i can try to explain it better if that might help

[mental token]

maybe if u would be so kind to like, break it down to dummy terms

[dusky moon]

Art and design is not easy either friend

I'm a ui designer and let me tell you, they are equally hard

[mental token]

eh i find it alot easier so- :/

[dusky moon]

it's a matter of which one you end up practicing more

[mental token]

true

[safe wren]

so the first function loop's goal is to get the total weight

[fringe barn]

so the first function loop's goal is to get the total weight

[safe wren]

weight is the chance for that specific event to occur

[fringe barn]

weight is the chance for that specific event to occur

[safe wren]

and in the loop, it runs through the entire list, and only adds to the total weight except the lastEvent event, since we don't want to have that one occur again

are you following that part

[fringe barn]

and in the loop, it runs through the entire list, and only adds to the total weight except the lastEvent event, since we don't want to have that one occur again

are you following that part

[safe wren]

@mental token

[mental token]

uhhhhhh so

[fringe barn]

@mental token

[mental token]

ye wrapping head round it

[safe wren]

it goes through all the events and adds to the total weight

so like

totalWeight = 0 at the beginning

[fringe barn]

it goes through all the events and adds to the total weight

so like

[safe wren]

then it adds +30 for fire

[fringe barn]

totalWeight = 0 at the beginning

then it adds +30 for fire

[safe wren]

then lets say the last event was hardware, it skips that one.

then adds +30 for power

[fringe barn]

then lets say the last event was hardware, it skips that one.

[safe wren]

so totalWeight at the end is 60

[fringe barn]

then adds +30 for power

so totalWeight at the end is 60

[mental token]

im sorry but could we go in dms? idk who this random person is who keeps copying your messages but its destracting me too much

[safe wren]

l0l

[mental token]

thats wild

[safe wren]

he cant copy as fast as i can type

[leaden spruce]

hey any scripters willing to help wioth soimething

[safe wren]

what u need friend

[fringe barn]

he cant copy as fast as i can type

what u need friend

[leaden spruce]

i need someone who can do sync for emotes

[safe wren]

are u runinng into a specific error

[sour yacht]

wdym

[fringe barn]

are u runinng into a specific error

[sour yacht]

like

[leaden spruce]

my friend has tried and we want /sync players user

[sour yacht]

??

[leaden spruce]

its a emote game

[sour yacht]

what

"we want /sync players user" 💔

[leaden spruce]

like admin

type of cmd

[sour yacht]

you have no clue on what your saying bro

[fringe barn]

@leaden spruce were gonna let you rephrase everything you have said. Restart dawg

[sour yacht]

yea

[fringe barn]

https://tenor.com/view/restart-meninblack-willsmith-gif-4771009

[leaden spruce]

Okay, so im making a emote game with my friends and we want it so you are able to sync other players with the power of /sync user.

[sour yacht]

oh

[safe wren]

youd have to store the currently playing animation somewhere on the characte

then when a sync is requested from player2 with player1

on player2, play the animation and set the timeposition to the same timeposition of the animationtrack player1's character is

[leaden spruce]

thank youu ill go try

[sour yacht]

local User = Arguments.User -- ( Input user as the second argument of the command )
local Player = Arguments.Player -- ( Player who called the command ) 

local Character = Player.Character
local UserCharacter = User.Character

local function Sync(AnimationTrack : AnimationTrack)

    if not AnimationTrack then
        warn("You must provide a AnimationTrack") return
    end

    local Name = AnimationTrack.Name
    local FoundAnimation = ReplicatedStorage.Animations.Emotes:FindFirstChild(Name)

    if not FoundAnimation then
        warn("Missing animation", Name) return
    end

    local Humanoid : Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
    local Animator : Animator = Humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")

    local TimePosition = AnimationTrack.TimePosition  

    local SyncedAnimation = Animator:LoadAnimation(FoundAnimation)
    SyncedAnimation:Play()
    SyncedAnimation.TimePosition = TimePosition 
  
end

for _, AnimationTrack : AnimationTrack in UserCharacter.Humanoid.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()
    
    if AnimationTrack ~= nil then
        Sync(AnimationTrack)
    end

end)```

might of gotten ssmth wrong since its

on discord code

but ya this should work i thinkk @leaden spruce

[leaden spruce]

oh okayy tyy

[sour yacht]

you'll have to do all the other stuff urseld but this should sync up stuff

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SyncRemote = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remotes"):WaitForChild("Sync")

SyncRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, User)

    local Character = Player.Character
    local UserCharacter = User.Character

    local function Sync(AnimationTrack : AnimationTrack)

        if not AnimationTrack then
            warn("You must provide a AnimationTrack") return
        end

        local Name = AnimationTrack.Name
        local FoundAnimation = ReplicatedStorage.Animations.Emotes:FindFirstChild(Name)

        if not FoundAnimation then
            warn("Missing animation", Name) return
        end

        local Humanoid : Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
        local Animator : Animator = Humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")

        local TimePosition = AnimationTrack.TimePosition  

        local SyncedAnimation = Animator:LoadAnimation(FoundAnimation)
        SyncedAnimation:Play()
        SyncedAnimation.TimePosition = TimePosition 

    end

    for _, AnimationTrack : AnimationTrack in UserCharacter.Humanoid.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks() do

        if AnimationTrack then
            Sync(AnimationTrack)
        end
        
    end

end)```

@leaden spruce

[leaden spruce]

new?

[sour yacht]

ya i fixed smth

[safe wren]

player is always the first argument of a server event

[sour yacht]

oh ya

good point

ok now its fixed fixed

well

ya

discord coding so annoying

[safe wren]

lol

like no humanoid or starter character

[plush oxide]

Hes mean a starter character

[tired rampart]

starter character yea

can u do that for me for 50 usd?

or more than 50?

[tired rampart]

can u do it?

[young olive]

how do i make this rainbow text

[thick sluice]

is this code messy

[uncut ore]

I USE AI TO CODE HAHAHAHAH

[thick sluice]

ew

vibe coder

[uncut ore]

just kidding

[somber vault]

yooo

I gots a question

I finished the scripting playlist and I'm kinda stuck on what to do next

[plush oxide]

Its ez

[runic quarry]

Make spleef

[somber vault]

that was too easy

[plush oxide]

Make a modular combat system ; )

[somber vault]

.-.

[runic quarry]

Make a

Horror game ion

[plush oxide]

Nah but fr just make a farming game or sum

[runic quarry]

Just make whatever you feel like making

[plush oxide]

An easy game to make

[runic quarry]

Given that you know how to make it

[plush oxide]

He doesnt know what to make wich is why he is asking us

But ig

[runic quarry]

I mean you learnt game development to make games

What games did you want to make

[somber vault]

tbh

currently I want to make a sim first then make the games I've been thinking on making for a while

can't really make a big game by myself with little skill and no funding fr

[thick sluice]

.

[maiden thicket]

who can script ai navigation like a guard which detects and patrolls lmk

[tired rampart]

dm me

[radiant island]

no

[dusk lake]

should i be using pascal case or camel case; does it matter

[candid kestrel]

holy video lag

[plain patrol]

how much time u spent on this

and what the fundamental that u recommend to learn before doing magic attacks + VFX

🔥

[solar raptor]

dude ragdoll works perfectly fine, except for when I jump and the game tries to ragdoll me

[plain patrol]

i think need to fall

[tight ether]

make ur character go down

[solar raptor]

i had to add this line of code

humanoid.EvaluateStateMachine =  false

[candid kestrel]

not long, for the explosion skillset, i did about 1 skill a day (spent 1-2 hours on each skill), and i spent aboud 4-5 hours working on the 2 wind skills (only took so long because i wanted to perfect the dash

[plain patrol]

oh

but what are the fundamentals that u used for creating skills tho

[tight ether]

framework

[plain patrol]

only that?

[plain patrol]

i mean , i started learn lua

a few days ago

i want to know what takes , to create a single blow

[tight ether]

just use ur average permade framework

[candid kestrel]

just make a hitbox sys, have a skill summon vfx, animations, then at sompoint, summon the hitbox

[plain patrol]

alright

i appreciate it

[plain patrol]

thank u

[plain patrol]

and thank you too

[tight ether]

check out brawldev he helped me code

i'm on this plalist

still coding and watching

yep

[tight ether]

wrong script

i took the wrong one

no work

no bro

what

wyd

[honest shuttle]

It works

[tight ether]

ur welcome

[honest shuttle]

tks

just

I have another question

[tight ether]

wh at

[honest shuttle]

I want to create a table of people's best score, but how do I do it? I already have the shares but the script

[tight ether]

wdym

explain in detail pls

[tight ether]

you cannot explain anything in detail with images

[tight ether]

oj

[honest shuttle]

wait

[tight ether]

that isnt an elaboration

[honest shuttle]

i want creat

How can I make one?

[tight ether]

make what

[honest shuttle]

A label with the best time of the player

[tight ether]

local bestTime = math.huge

-- Function to update the best time
function updateBestTime(currentTime)
if currentTime < bestTime then
bestTime = currentTime
bestTimeLabel.Text = "Best Time: " .. string.format("%.2f", bestTime)
end
end
#what the fuck im i doing

[honest shuttle]

where i put ?

[plain patrol]

for A = 1, 10000 do
if A <= 1 then
print("A <= 1")
if A == 200 then
print("The A Breaked on 200")
break
end
end
end

why my script stop on print ("A <=1")

?

[tight ether]

for A = 1, 10000 do
if A == 200 then
print("The A Breaked on 200")
break
end

if A <= 1 then
    print("A <= 1")
end

end
its so obvious bro

[plain patrol]

i'm learning tho

[tight ether]

Ok sorry

[honest shuttle]

where i put ?

[honest shuttle]

?

[tight ether]

no idea but i got the script

because i dont know ur hierachy

[honest shuttle]

ok mm

[gloomy kraken]

smh ai

[thick sluice]

spawning coal fr

and it makes fire

[candid kestrel]

ofc

[plain patrol]

ok ur my friend now

[plain patrol]

make it spawn sanduiches

[thick sluice]

cant

its only for coal

[plain patrol]

aw ok

[tight ether]

???

[tight ether]

why the fuck do u assume its ai if i give u comments / hashes

[gloomy kraken]

because it looks exactly like the comments chatgpt gives lmao

[thick sluice]

fr

[gloomy kraken]

you even got the missing local

[thick sluice]

@gloomy kraken is this ai

[tight ether]

what in the actual fuck is that logic

[thick sluice]

that's what a AI user would say

[gloomy kraken]

thats what a vibe coder would say

[dense ruin]

what items are stored in replicated storage

[gloomy kraken]

stuff that both the client and server need to use

[dense ruin]

like what

[gloomy kraken]

holy nesting bro

[gloomy kraken]

remote events

[thick sluice]

is it ai?

[gloomy kraken]

not sure, it could just be from a bad scripter

[dense ruin]

"holy nesting" (1 nest)

[thick sluice]

its my 13th day scripting bro

i aint bad

[gloomy kraken]

stop the nesting

[gloomy kraken]

bro does not know what nesting is

[gloomy kraken]

lowkey you could just do

if not coalTool then return end

[dense ruin]

why not do local firething = part:findfirstchild("particle") or part:WaitForchild("particle")

[gloomy kraken]

makes it more readable icl

[dense ruin]

It could save the if statements

[gloomy kraken]

do you even know what they do

[dense ruin]

but if the player needs the tool, they dont want to just not have it if it isnt loaded yet

[gloomy kraken]

depends on where the script is

[dense ruin]

unless its a sanity check

[gloomy kraken]

what is bro yapping about

[gloomy kraken]

you need waitforchild

is there a script that adds the particles?

[dense ruin]

what would he need waitforchild for if it checks both the character and replicated storage

the tool can still be in the character even if the assets arent loaded

[thick sluice]

coal + fire = more fire

[thick sluice]

no

[gloomy kraken]

theres literally so many logic errors that its not even readable

just directly enable/disable the uis inside the hierarchy 😭

[dense ruin]

repost so i dont have to keep scrolling

[gloomy kraken]

he doesnt even need waitforchild for proximityprompt

he should learn when to use waitforchild and findfirstchild

[dense ruin]

yes. i dont know who mentioned that it should wait for the tool but it is not necessary

also the coaltool is defined twice for no reason it seems

[gloomy kraken]

and theres too much nesting

[thick sluice]

theres only 1 nest

[gloomy kraken]

do you know what nesting is

[thick sluice]

no

duh

thats the point

[gloomy kraken]

holy skid bro

[thick sluice]

it still works

not like it gives me 393472687348463287463234224 errors

[dense ruin]

pretending the fire assets were defined properly, the if statements could be necessary if they can be destroyed somehow

otherwise there would be an error if the user requests after theyre destroyed

a nest isnt bad just because its a nest

[gloomy kraken]

it amkes code so unreadable

[dense ruin]

that being said, no offense to the coder (unless it was an ai) but it doesnt seem like that was the intended effect

[thick sluice]

ai makes better code then me

so its not ai 😔

[dense ruin]

I dont really see how, if the scripter in question was aware that children of the tool could become nil then its necessary to add if statements

and people working on the script

at any rate if this was written it should include comments like any other code

[gloomy kraken]

@dense ruin

[dense ruin]

The coal tool could be missing children while still existing

[thick sluice]

doesn't AI write comments as well?

[dense ruin]

idk i dont use ai for code

[gloomy kraken]

then add more checks bruhhh

[thick sluice]

this is ai's code
-- Create a variable named "false" (this is actually a variable name, not the boolean value)
local false = false

-- Print the initial value
print("Initial value of our variable named 'false':", false)

-- Change the variable named "false" to true
false = true

-- Print the updated value
print("Updated value of our variable named 'false':", false)

-- Additional confirmation
if false == true then
print("Successfully set false to true!")
else
print("Something went wrong!")
end

[gloomy kraken]

HELL NO

[dense ruin]

those are the checks. as far as ive seen thats probably the best way to do it. I would personally prefer a loop after the tool is equipped to enable each particle instead of 3 if statements

[gloomy kraken]

NEVER USE AI AGAIN

[thick sluice]

i used ai 14 days ago bro

[dense ruin]

it looks like each part in the tool has an effect or light or something, so a loop would do fine, no need for if statements

it will also be scalable. what if later you update the tool and it has 10 particle effects

[gloomy kraken]

skid meeting bruh, im going back to deepwoken

[dense ruin]

• readable

[thick sluice]

e

[thick sluice]

then just add more if statements

[dense ruin]

lol

[rain hound]

can an exploiter use a local script and then use a bindable event to communicate with a server script that's listening for a bindable event?

how is it possible to make a module/local script detecting a accessory named ''banana'' for example and checks its meshes as values v1 ( Mesh named 1 ) and etc for example banana has 3 meshes v1 v2 v3 it checks the module script which mesh is toggable and pastes from a template changes the textlabel to ''3'' mesh3 v3 and when clicked makes that v3 mesh transparent 1

[somber vault]

I need help making a script for a Hammer tool I want to use raycast or shapecast, I'm trying to get it to attach parts/models that have a "Placeable" tag without it anchoring the parts. I've gotten really close to where it attaches a part to another part, but they aren't touching, and it takes multiple clicks to get it to attach. I'm also trying to get it to snap to the part like if I attach 2 cylinders they attach on the flat side and they are lined up. I have a local script as a child of the hammer and a script in serverscriptservice. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

kinda like SSE2

[full island]

does using semi-colons at the end of lines worsen performance or cause any negative side effects?

it just feels wrong to not use them after using java for so long

[dense ruin]

with modern computers the effect would be basically zero

[full island]

thanks

[copper apex]

Not neccesarily a bad thing

[hasty mesa]

the only thing it effects is compile time and size of the script

and thats neglectable

and pretty much 0

[gloomy kraken]

it makes the script much harder to read icl

[lone rain]

How much would a blue lock rivals type match loop cost

[copper apex]

Not really but it depends

Its prob just me I am just used to it

Obv nesting it a lot is bad but the pic he showed doesnt really have too much

[lone rain]

Match system with position picking

[gloomy kraken]

huh yeah, im used to minimal nesting so his pic just kinda tires my eyes out

[hearty harbor]

someone give me something to script, take to consideration i am a beginner

[craggy mason]

Heyyy I need a scripter asap!! My main scripter ended up disappearing, and I need someone to finish his tasks(kinda simple), I’m offering 3k robux tax included, DM me!

Srry if this isn’t the right place to post this since I can’t wait 1-2days for a hiring post to get confirmed rn

[granite spruce]

Hey! What do you need to fix exactly ?

[craggy mason]

Well it’s not really fixing, I have this rate my avatar game, and I needed my scripter to implement 4 booth skins, he already made the system and half of the skins are already added I just need someone to add the rest for me.

Also few other things like a proximity prompt Gatcha for gears/tools that makes you spent currency(currency already made).
And lastly a thing where if the player stays in the game for like 60mins they get free vip commands with the Hd admin in our game, I think I may need to go slightly more in-depth but that’s basically all of it

[granite spruce]

I can code not build

[old crypt]

any scripters got a lil free time rq?

if you do then hmu in my dms rq

[tropic sequoia]

Yo guys can you help me out please? Can you see what I can improve in this code block please?

It works but I am trying to organize it, trying to learn code organization, this is a module btw.

[runic quarry]

firstly don't need to use pairs

secondly the continue statement is redundant

[tropic sequoia]

alr

[runic quarry]

won't affect anything but still

[tropic sequoia]

thank you let me try immplement that

[static coral]

117: constant values should preferably be declared at the top of the script
124: pairs is useless
125: turn if statements around to avoid nesting for example: if key ~= “Wood” then return end
127: why r u assigning a for loop value????
130: once again turn the if statement around to avoid nesting, if not check then print(…) return end
131 & 132: you dont need to use waitforchild since leaderstats should already be created
144: continue is useless here

[runic quarry]

also you're assigning the variable value with newdata

but isnt value the key,value pairs of material

[runic quarry]

yea 127

[tropic sequoia]

dang you are right

[static coral]

also at 116, you type annotated player so do so for items as well

[old crypt]

can someone please make a fps game w me rq i wanna upload it to my yt

[tropic sequoia]

I'll show you my other part of the script 😭

dang the function too big I can't fit it on the snipping tool

[static coral]

did u fix the first one yet

[tropic sequoia]

nah still doing it but you say turn the if statement around without a for loop, would it still require a key? should I just get the attribute from the players character

[static coral]

are u trying to get the value of a certain key from a dictionary

[tropic sequoia]

yeah

[static coral]

then remove all that shit u can literally just do dictionary[“Wood”]

[tropic sequoia]

the dictionary adds itself from the attributes given to the players character

[static coral]

or dictionary.Wood

[tropic sequoia]

oh alr

[azure gate]

ayo guyz do yo have any ideas on how to make so tht it detects inappopriate avatar items?

[trim basin]

pretty sure theres a framework for that

I forget the name but JJS used it i think?

[tropic sequoia]

Is this better? The table is up the top not incased inside a function, and the key is equal to a string.

[weak radish]

how do you remove enter from a string

[trim basin]

wym

like the word enter?

[weak radish]

Nah like the key

[trim basin]

ahh like the indent

[silver verge]

replace \n with ""

[weak radish]

Alr

[trim basin]

little research str = str:gsub("[\n\r]", " ")

[weak radish]

I know more abt python than lua now tbh

[weak radish]

\r?

[trim basin]

not sure, I forgot all the codes but

thats what I got off the forum

[weak radish]

Yeah that didnt work cus it removed spaces

actually

NVM

It worked

thanks

are links banned here?

[trim basin]

Gotta be chat lvl 5

I just got it lol

do /stats in the cmds chat

[weak radish]

alr

Oh nice im level 8

I made such a pointless game I love it

[hardy pilot]

Why do you have a function called checkMaterial that listens to changes instead of checking the material?

[trim basin]

pretty sure it checks if its hit the limit

[tropic sequoia]

Thought it would be better to put it inside a seperate function

I need to change the value passed through though

[hardy pilot]

The name is misleading

[tropic sequoia]

alr I'll change it

I am not good at naming 😭

[hardy pilot]

But since it's a function, is it possible you're calling it later after the change occurred?

since it can't listen to changes that already happened

[tropic sequoia]

fair point, I used it to free up space inside the function

It will only be connected to the materialCheck() function

[remote bear]

i have added some face culling to the test player object

[tropic sequoia]

dang your talented

[weak radish]

Just wondering what do you use to record

[remote bear]

the windows snipping tool

[weak radish]

IT RECORDS???

😭

I always thought it could only screenshot

[tropic sequoia]

yes

[weak radish]

sob

[remote bear]

there is a record icon near the image one

[weak radish]

Yeah I just never realised lol

[trim basin]

me too lol

[tropic sequoia]

It works with easy to understand code! God bless!

Is there anyway to organize this? I have 2 parts

[trim basin]

organize what

[tropic sequoia]

1 function btw 😭

works though

[trim basin]

your colors are so different from mine it hurts my brain but

I like to put big big comment lines with labels of what each section handles

[sudden estuary]

you could compress this by a single loop

[trim basin]

example

[tropic sequoia]

compress?

[trim basin]

the lines will go all the way down

[tropic sequoia]

Oh alr

[sudden estuary]

yes make it look cleaner

[trim basin]

just something I do personally though, everyone has their own knicks

[sudden estuary]

for i,v in {"wood","stone","pickaxe"} do
  local Value = Instance.new("IntValue")
  blah blah
end

same for setting the value

[tropic sequoia]

okay

let me try it out

[trim basin]

but make the table at the top

[tropic sequoia]

yeah I have just in case

[weak radish]

Why's it a dictionary

[tropic sequoia]

should it be an array?

[sudden estuary]

no

[sudden estuary]

dictionary doesn't make any sense here

ur key and value r the same

[weak radish]

Yeah

[tropic sequoia]

fair

[sudden estuary]

u r better off with just value

[trim basin]

to each their own i guess, i prefer that so I can just add another one whenever I want if I need to

[weak radish]

I mean it doesn't hurt your code it's just pointless

[sudden estuary]

i was jk , adding table is def better for readability

[weak radish]

{"Wood","Stone etc works just as well

[tropic sequoia]

alr

[trim basin]

some of the parents are different though, the backpack is to the plr while the rest are to the leaderstats, so maybe a dictionary with the parent might be better

[tropic sequoia]

let me change it real quick

[trim basin]

all depends on preference tbh

[sudden estuary]

yea then that would be better @tropic sequoia

change ur value parent or an array containing parent so u accomdate any other stuffs if u need

[tropic sequoia]

okay so dictionaries are better in a sense of holding different values

alr

[weak radish]

Yeah

[trim basin]

they're key to value based, each key can't be the same and holds a value

so if you need 1 value for each key a basic dictionary is what you use

you can nest dictionaries and arrays if you need more

[weak radish]

Normally it's for values that's changing

I mean not always

[tropic sequoia]

alr cool, let me change some stuff real quick

[tight ether]

a

[tropic sequoia]

How do I use next(), is it depricated?

[loud stratus]

next is not deprecated

and when u use pairs u are already using next behind the scenes

[tropic sequoia]

can it go to the next value in the table?

oh alr

[loud stratus]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/what-is-next-a-small-guide/1716750

its pretty simple

this forum summarises it well

[tropic sequoia]

alr thanks

[loud stratus]

next returns a tuple which is the key and the value of the array u passed it, and the index u want to look at

[sturdy briar]

can someone help me with cframes?
how to make my curve be in the correct way

[tropic sequoia]

confusing, is it just a manual for loop that will pass through a dictionary but you'll have to call next again

it will give you an index if you call next(dictionary, nil)

rather than the value it passes through after

[hardy pilot]

Bazier curve

[lime gyro]

anyone knows a way to detatch the player head from torso without it killing him ?

[plain patrol]

how i can learn findfirstchild more easily

[trim basin]

wym

it just finds the first child of the name you give

of whatever you're using it on

[proper adder]

guys how to fix the fact that TS looks very laggy? I already tried to do it through heartbeat and it also was laggy. I made a separate part in workspace and added there a random script with TS and on this part TS worked normally

[brave jay]

is there a way to increase ur max FPS in studio gang

i need to run some tests with my raycasts and it sucks having to publish and go to the main game

is there any way to change a player's rank in a group via a script?

[meager marsh]

Is there a way to make my Billboardgui tween Vertically? like from Top shrinking to bottom, I had to rotate my gui for it to be vertically and when I tried to make it shrink with TweenSize it just keep tweening Horizontal? (This is not scripting issue, seems like to be Billboard gui issue)

[magic yacht]

i like this theme can you send me the entire script editor

[karmic coral]

who wanna join my stay alive kinda game must be a scripta

[forest bear]

how do i make a backpack gui using topbarplus

[static coral]

no

[static coral]

you need to make bot

[static coral]

use anchorpoints

UI will always move and resize relative to anchorpoints position

[thick sluice]

idk

[static coral]

fyi it is a property

[static coral]

put quality level to 01 and mesh quality to level 01 in rendering

[brave jay]

thanks guys

[meager marsh]

What should it be? .5,.5?

center it

[brave jay]

nah it was that it was capped at 60

[thick sluice]

coal = campfire = fire

this was scripted by me

[static coral]

additionally you can put lighting mode to shadowmap/voxel for performance and also use opengl lighting engine in settings (you will have to restart for changes)

[brave jay]

anyone have any ideas what other settings my gun system might need?
i cant think of anything and im kind of a spaghetti coder, so any ideas now would be much appreciated!!

well for top to bottom resizing it should be at .5, 1

[meager marsh]

Alright!

bullet speed and recoil

[thick sluice]

how do i make this script not look messy

[static coral]

💔

[tropic sequoia]

The value isn't updating even though it is a server module

[thick sluice]

i couldn't post it

cuz it reached the discord message limit

so i had to make it a .txt

[brave jay]

what would recoil affect? ty good ideas

[static coral]

recoil of the gun, like jumpiness or camera displacement or whatever

idk how to make recoil 🤷‍♂️

from what i have seen its just a lerp on camera properties

[wicked herald]

hey can i get help with this?

[thick sluice]

how do i make this script not look messy (repost with image)

[brave jay]

seems not too difficult

thanks dude

[full island]

thanks

[static coral]

more comments and use of sections (section for services, variables, constants, private, public, etc for organisation), less nesting with if statements, use modulescripts, why u got a while true loop????, and dont use deprecated functions (wait instead of task.wait)

[stone wren]

How do i learn to script

[thick sluice]

how do i do this

[static coral]

do what

[thick sluice]

all the things you listed me

on the message

[static coral]

just google

[thick sluice]

bruh

you just said "google it"

like bro, when was i needing google?

[static coral]

i am not explaining all that shi 🙏🙏🙏

just look it up

[thick sluice]

can't

[stiff citrus]

Are module scripts crucial when making a game?

[static coral]

no they are not absolutely necessary but they are good for organisation and future updating

[tropic sequoia]

How would I get the max number of the table without using table.maxn()?

Because the key values keeps on returning 0

[tropic sequoia]

sorted it out, forgot hashtags existed

is this the best way to organize slots

[karmic coral]

dm me if ur a scripter and u wanna partner w me to make a sword fighting game i alr have a small community

[dense ruin]

I think the problem is you're asking if attributes (list of character attributes) is a certain attribute in the if statement. Try doing a loop instead and see if the value in the loop is the same as the attribute youre looking for

[tropic sequoia]

I found the issue but thanks for the help

[dense ruin]

👍

[tropic sequoia]

solved with this

[karmic coral]
