[umbral carbon]

use JavaFX

Bro what?

[zenith mason]

it boosts performance and reduces your storage by getting rid of waste

[fleet gull]

I already did, i gained 20gb of ram and 2tb of sotrage

[umbral carbon]

This is an executor

[fleet gull]

Is this an Executor??

[umbral carbon]

I don't understand what you're talking about

[somber vault]

no it's a ide

[zenith mason]

or something

[somber vault]

i dont understand what you're talking about

[fleet gull]

Don't tell Sam about this guys, but i think his name is... Sam 😨

[somber vault]

i grieve ths stereo

the stereo sounds strange

if i get out of bed

[umbral carbon]

Very normal guy

[somber vault]

you see me standing all alone

[somber vault]

have u started c++ yet?

it's the future 😺

[umbral carbon]

Nah I'm not a low level guy
But maybe C

[somber vault]

lol what?

c++ is a extension of C

[umbral carbon]

Gotta keep it simple buddy

[somber vault]

low level languages are the future™️

[somber vault]

it's not difficult

hi guys

is this interface hangout

[rocky lynx]

Rust is the future

[umbral carbon]

Hey

[fleet gull]

Bold of you to assume we're guys..

[umbral carbon]

No

[viscid orbit]

hi men

[viscid orbit]

and women

[somber vault]

I'm a POC

[fleet gull]

Bold of you to assume we're men...

[somber vault]

first of its kind in the IDE for roblox scene...

[viscid orbit]

hi people

[fleet gull]

Bold of you to assume we're people...

[viscid orbit]

hi iisle

[fleet gull]

🤔🤔

[viscid orbit]

🇵🇸♥️

[fleet gull]

Hello

[jolly vessel]

ngl i need me an ingame script editor

[fleet gull]

Well well well...

[viscid orbit]

bro ive seen your pfp like 20 times before

[jolly vessel]

no shit its lego darth vader

best lego character

[jolly vessel]

what

im not a minority

[fleet gull]

Of course you want an ingame script editor

Always the Schedule 1 players

[jolly vessel]

ye for my game

its really good for testing imo

[fleet gull]

Mhmm... sureee...

[somber vault]

yea

i used iris for it

its like imgui embedded

but i prefer to use imgui

[rare dove]

profile service or roblox datastore??

[gilded gyro]

😌 my structure

[uncut ore]

english or spanish? whoever moves first will need to learn datastore!

[gilded gyro]

tryna to code railing system

redoing railing system just for optimization

[uncut ore]

rail?

dead rail

[gilded gyro]

im doing for skateboard game 😭

[random nebula]

shit language

[hexed palm]

Hello, ive started scripting since like 1 month now, and like im trying to get better, so what do i think is that I need to do all by myself and dont find help with ppl, just by myself with documentation etc.. And I actually can do good things but sometimes I struggle and I dont know what to do, either i should ask for help or keep trying, so its frustating a bit, but like i know there is an answer so i wanna find but still dont know if i shouldnt hesitate to ask help, thx if someone could answer to this message

[rocky lynx]

I've been doing it for like 9 years but Rust is better

[cedar salmon]

what sort of stuff can u do

[fringe barn]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1287609905024340059/1311154891057790976/IMG_1490.gif

[hexed palm]

Nothing im bad rn, i learned the basics, (tables, variable, maths..) then i learned for example the part properties etc, then a bit of tween service, a bit of datastoreservice, and ye, not much cuz i just wanted to get good bases

[cedar salmon]

what about remote events/functions

[fringe barn]

[hexed palm]

I know a bit of also, but rn i am just struggling with the alignposition and alignorientation, i understood most of it but like i just dont understand a part, like i went through all the documentation of it, and i found nothing, so idk what should i do, eithzr keep struggling and hoping, or ask for help

[cedar salmon]

There's a lot of vids on it

just watch those and apply knowledge urself

[hexed palm]

Ik, i also watched some of them, but didnt find the answer

[wispy fulcrum]

damn lowk who can I pay to install this pathfinding scripts https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=working+noobpath+npc+roblox https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/135165598765146/NoobPath

[foggy burrow]

Meeee

[wispy fulcrum]

dm me

[austere mulch]

2 months of luau and i still suck 😭

[foggy burrow]

Bro 😭

What does it print?

[tepid slate]

Yo

[austere mulch]

Do you know the quadratic formula?

[foggy burrow]

Yeah

[austere mulch]

one of the roots

[austere mulch]

C-- ??!

[velvet vapor]

Why the the trail is lagging? Is it my pc or it's basic problem with trails?...

[austere mulch]

isn't that how they work

like in every game

[velvet vapor]

i thought it will dissapear smoother

[foggy burrow]

So what are you stuck on?

[austere mulch]

I'm not stuck on anything, I do GFX which occupies a lot of my time

[foggy burrow]

😭

[austere mulch]

mostly has to do with the structure and optimization of the code

at least I think

[bleak glade]

[foggy burrow]

Oh yeah there’s some work that could be fixed

[bleak glade]

are you familar with typescript in luau

[foggy burrow]

I’m guessing they aren’t

[austere mulch]

no

[bleak glade]

QuadraticFormula(B: number, A: number, C: number, AddOrSubtract: string): (number | string)

[glossy wave]

datastore are easy to understand onec you get ahold of the basics icl

[foggy burrow]

Yeah but that’s not the thing that could be changed

Instead of returning each time

[bleak glade]

i know but its also helpful learning that

[foggy burrow]

Just make a variable

And then just return that at the end

Instead of returning at the end of each script

[bleak glade]

youj could argue he doesnt even need if statements too

[austere mulch]

how 2 learn this typeshit

typescript*

[bleak glade]

you dont need to learn typescript just learn types

[austere mulch]

what are types?

[bleak glade]

number, vector3, etc

instance types

[glossy wave]

whats the point of ts in roblox

[austere mulch]

oh

[umbral carbon]

No idea

[bleak glade]

i find it useful

[umbral carbon]

It's more of an experiment maybe

[austere mulch]

I just wanted to make something that used math

just to refresh my knowledge

It doesn't really have any practical use for now in my mind

[cedar salmon]

what have u been doing for the 2 months

[lean ocean]

change the properties

[velvet vapor]

what property?

[lean ocean]

transparency and widthscale

[austere mulch]

Remote functions and events, experimenting with parameters, sound and sound groups, tables, events, coroutines, task functions, collection service, debris and a bunch of other stuff

I'm just really slow

[bleak glade]

2 months isnt even bad for that

i have around 5 months in luau

[austere mulch]

I'm 14, I haven't really been taught anything about programming languages up until 8th grade so everything I learn is very new for me

which makes progress slow

[bleak glade]

good job starting early

[austere mulch]

yeah IGSCEs only cover pseudo code

they start the actual programming languages from A levels

[velvet vapor]

thanks, it really became better

[foggy burrow]

Real

Could make that function in like 2 lines

[hot kindle]

hey.so how long would it take for me to learn the coding stuff,to be able to become a dev for a game

stupid question,it all depends on your effort im guessing

[austere mulch]

i think u can do it in a month

if you dedicate 10 hours of your day to scripting

[hot kindle]

10h per week? or day

[austere mulch]

per day

actually I think its different for everyone

[foggy burrow]

Nah

10 hours a day I wild

[austere mulch]

yeah

its unrealistic and you have to be pretty unemployed to do that

[foggy burrow]

I split my time up 2 90 mins sessions

[austere mulch]

if you practice 10 hours a day though, can you learn like 60% of luau in a month?

[foggy burrow]

Nah

There’s no such thing as learning 50% of luau

[somber vault]

you gotta be 100% unemployed and also rlly determined

[stiff tundra]

Guys, is it hard to make a rng game

[somber vault]

staying on track is kinda hard

[rugged ore]

Ah

[austere mulch]

real

with literally any activity in the world

[somber vault]

yes, especially to the point of 10h

[somber vault]

depends on what you wanna add

[austere mulch]

I think someone who has severe autism and is 100% unemployed can do that

[somber vault]

you could just do print(math.random(1, 10)) and its an rng game

[foggy burrow]

Nah no such thing as learning luau 100%

[austere mulch]

he said 100% unemployed

[foggy burrow]

Just learning to problem solve and read

[somber vault]

high probability of getting burnt out

[foggy burrow]

No I know

But you said 60% of all Lu

Luau

There’s no such thing that’s that

[austere mulch]

newton used to do his stuff for 18 hours a day

[somber vault]

regardless of wtvr
only thing that could help is your own management

[foggy burrow]

Just learning to code

[austere mulch]

you just need a rare mental condition

and a lot of time in your hands

[foggy burrow]

Just learn the basics and then your done

Mastering the basics is all you gotta do

[somber vault]

and every commission then asks for a full combat system

[austere mulch]

script fps system pls we don't have gun model, vfx, or animations

[foggy burrow]

Real

[somber vault]

maybe they atleast have some sfx :D

[foggy burrow]

But nah just learn basics of programming is ez

[somber vault]

you just add a part

[foggy burrow]

Trust

[somber vault]

and boom

[somber vault]

( and script the system with that )

[foggy burrow]

Frrr

[vocal relic]

when you learnt basics how did you continue

[foggy burrow]

Just applied the basic knowledge of programming to greater things

Like if I wanted a countdown system

To display a timee

[vocal relic]

creating something you think you can do and then expanding from it?

[ionic oar]

for combat system that use vfx (like magic systems) and rely on responsiveness, do you guys validate on the server before showing vfx? that's been my approach but theres so much latency when using skills

[foggy burrow]

I would use my knowledge on for loops

[austere mulch]

Basically your base is going to remain the same

[foggy burrow]

For countdown system

[foggy burrow]

Nah

The legit basics

You need to just know the basics

[somber vault]

like general coding basics first then the lua methods

[foggy burrow]

And then you can code LITTERALLY anytbing

[somber vault]

ex: if statements, while and for loops, functions etc

[somber vault]

true yeah

just do some documentation if you get stuck

[foggy burrow]

1: functions
2: loops
3: conditional statements
4: variables
5: tables
6: data types

All you need to know

[austere mulch]

i did print ---> data types ---> variables ----> arithmetic operations ---> conditions ---> functions ---> parameters & return ---> loops ---> tables

[foggy burrow]

Yeah

[vocal relic]

ik the basics and many other stuff like using inheritance in oop i just feel like im making slow progress

[foggy burrow]

Bro I don’t know shit about oop

I’m more a functional programmer

[austere mulch]

oh and also

[quiet briar]

/quue

[austere mulch]

module scripts

[foggy burrow]

Compared to an object oriented programmer

Tho modules are goated

[vocal relic]

i've struggled a lot to understand oop

[austere mulch]

I still haven't touched module scripts

[foggy burrow]

That’s why you gotta do some checks smaet

[foggy burrow]

Yeah I don’t use it ever

[somber vault]

isnt oop just make the function somewhere so its stored there

and then call it from every object that you wanna move or wtvr

[foggy burrow]

Been scripting for 2 years

[foggy burrow]

Kinda

I mean I use oop here and there

[vocal relic]

i used it to seperate common functions that an npc has from unique like abilities and other stuff

[ionic oar]

oop is just another programming paradigm you don't have to use it. it is pretty neat tho i would take time to understand it

[foggy burrow]

But no where compared to other programmers

[foggy burrow]

Yeah

[foggy burrow]

Here’s how your framework should go

For your skills

[somber vault]

oop is actually just a myth

[austere mulch]

I make gfx with fucks up my time to learn scripting

[somber vault]

its not real

[foggy burrow]

Input -> server -> client

[austere mulch]

just like Australia

[foggy burrow]

Don’t do any yielding on the server

[ionic oar]

thats basically how it goes now, but its not responsive enough

[foggy burrow]

Just basic checks

[foggy burrow]

Really? What checks are you doing

Don’t yield any code

[austere mulch]

don't you do that in coroutines

i reckon

[indigo thorn]

No

[foggy burrow]

Could

Or you could do the task library

[ionic oar]

not much really just checking cooldowns

[foggy burrow]

Hmmm

[austere mulch]

just store the cooldown in a boolean

check*

[foggy burrow]

Well yeah

[ionic oar]

im not having any problems with my cooldowns and i would still have to check the booleans

[foggy burrow]

It’s cause your using task.wait() corrects?

To wait and then put the cooldowns back

Are you using a server script for each skill or one main script

[ionic oar]

nah im comparing os.clock() for cooldowns and storing the last use of each skill

[austere mulch]

what are you trying to do?

[ionic oar]

reduce latency in my skill system

[foggy burrow]

Oh

Nah

Wait better

And much more simple

[ionic oar]

how is it better?

[foggy burrow]

But either way works

[foggy burrow]

Simpler

And does the same thing

[ionic oar]

oh it wasn't too complicated for me to implement and works fine rn

[foggy burrow]

Doing comparing of os.clock and stuff is longer compared to doing task.wait(1)

Yeah it works

But there’s just an easier way

Anyway you don’t answer my question

[ionic oar]

oh sorry each skill has its own module script

[foggy burrow]

Is each skill have their own server script?

[foggy burrow]

Okay

Wait

[ionic oar]

and i have one main script that calls the corresponding function for each skill

[foggy burrow]

And a remote event fires to that module

And then the module fires to the script?

Client script

[austere mulch]

is that the other name for a local script

[ionic oar]

client script fires remote -> server script recieves remote -> server script calls the function that corresponds to the skill the client sent

[foggy burrow]

Okay

And is that server script

Handle all the skills

?

[ionic oar]

yep

[foggy burrow]

Well that’s why

Is the cooldown for that script handled there too?

Like that script handles skill cds?

[ionic oar]

no cooldowns are handled inside the modules

[foggy burrow]

Hmmm

I got a question

[ionic oar]

?

[foggy burrow]

Does this latency happen after you use a skill

So a skill works fune

And then you try to use another one

And there’s latency

Or just from the start

[ionic oar]

just from the start

[foggy burrow]

Okay

[ionic oar]

let me show you an example

[foggy burrow]

So

Hold up

Client -> server -> module -> client

?

[ionic oar]

yep

blue box is spawned immediately with player input, red box is spawned from the server

while walking theres a clear delay of where the red hitbox is

and you can see that when i stand still and use it they're in the same place

[foggy burrow]

Is that the latency you’re talking about?

[ionic oar]

yep

[foggy burrow]

Well

Then there’s no issues

There will always be delay

It’s impossible

To make it not delay

I thought there was a significant period of time

[ionic oar]

if its on the client, the delay is way less. that's why i wanted to gauge how many people did hitboxes immediately on the client first

[austere mulch]

are you using task.wait?

[foggy burrow]

I do client sided hitboxes yes

I do

[ionic oar]

nope its just replication lag

[austere mulch]

roblox issue i think

[foggy burrow]

Input -> server -> module -> client

Never hitboxes on the sever

Too laggy

[ionic oar]

so you do hitboxes during input??

[foggy burrow]

No

[austere mulch]

so is that a roblox issue

or not

[foggy burrow]

I do hitboxes after the server checks its

[ionic oar]

and i wouldn't trust client hitboxes exploiters can just abuse that

[foggy burrow]

Yeah

But that’s why I do sever checks on dmg

[ionic oar]

not really an issue but that's just how it goes if that makes sense

[foggy burrow]

Hitboxes should be done on the client they are smoother

[foggy burrow]

There’s always going to be delay through network, unless you have 0 ping

Which is impossible

[ionic oar]

so you don't have the same problem i have?

cause technically you're going client -> server -> client if im understanding you right

[foggy burrow]

Yes

But I’m not doing parts for hitboxes

Cause that causes further delay

[ionic oar]

oh does it?

[foggy burrow]

Yeah

[austere mulch]

yeah why would you want to initiate a hitbox on the server side?

[foggy burrow]

We just said it bro

For exploiters

It’s safer

[ionic oar]

to prevent exploiters. if you have client sided hitboxes then exploiters can also use those client sided hitboxes

and make their own

[austere mulch]

ohh

[foggy burrow]

I use spacial queries

For my hitboxes

game.Workspace:GetPartsBoundInBox()

That returns a table of everything that the invisible box hit

You can then loop through that table

And check if anything is a player

And then do your dmg stuff

Tho I have this inside a module

Called hitbox handler

That’s I just require from the client

And then I have a remote event that fires to the server after a successful hit

[ionic oar]

i honestly don't think that won't fix the network replication lag but i do also use spatial queries a lot

[foggy burrow]

Well yeah it won’t fix it

But that’s just how I do hitboxes

You shouldn’t use parts

[ionic oar]

ohhh okay

[foggy burrow]

Do you use .Touched()?

[ionic oar]

yeah i was more using parts to simulate hitbox + vfx

and no i don't

[foggy burrow]

Well yeah I use parts to simulate hitboxes too for visuals

But I know that there is visual lag

[ionic oar]

i think ill have to do some immediate vfx when i get input from the client to fix my issues and make a vfx handler or something

[foggy burrow]

Nah I wouldn’t do that

You gotta do checks

That’s why client -> server -> module -> client

Is Litterally the best skill framework

Client just handles input

Checks on the server

Then fires that skills server module to start the skill

[ionic oar]

it's not tho theres so much input lag

[foggy burrow]

Not really

[ionic oar]

i think a better way is input + immediate vfx -> checks + hitbox -> more vfx

[foggy burrow]

Well how are you gonna have the players see all the VFX?

It has to go through a server boundary

Unless your making a single player game

None of the players are gonna see your starting VFX off of input

[ionic oar]

that's true i might have to do immediate vfx for the player using

[foggy burrow]

Idk your over complicating things

[ionic oar]

i don't think so, my game needs combat to be responsive

[foggy burrow]

I’ve been working on my project for about 1 year now and I’ve achieved really good combat

[ionic oar]

i've also made some pretty good combat systems but this is an issue i've been wanting to solve for a minute

[foggy burrow]

Client - server - client takes less than a second

Not even noticeable

[ionic oar]

its very obvious in the video i sent before

[foggy burrow]

Yeah cause your basing it off of parts

Which I told you wasn’t a good way to do it

Have you tested your combat in a fight?

[ionic oar]

if the parts are off that means the vfx is off

vfx will be off*

[foggy burrow]

This is what I’ve gotten

Ignore the anim at the beginning

That’s what the skill looks like in game

It’s pretty responsive

I programmed that using my framework

And I’ve achieved a pretty good combat feel

Fast paced

[ionic oar]

that looks good

[foggy burrow]

Thanks thanks

[ionic oar]

i wish i could see it in a fast paced environment

[foggy burrow]

I could show you some in game combat

When I get back

[ionic oar]

but you might be right i think ill just stick with my way and if it's still off during testing ill just change it

[foggy burrow]

Or you could join my discord server link in bio 😉

[ionic oar]

yeah ill join i would love to see it in game

[foggy burrow]

Cool cool!

[foggy burrow]

We don’t have any fast paced combat vids yet but I could send you a video when I get home

[ionic oar]

sounds good

[foggy burrow]

I also should let yk

That I’ve compressed all my data

Into 4 bytes maxed

So the amount of stuff I send to the server is compressed

[ionic oar]

oh yeah that's also something i need to do

[velvet vapor]

I also asked other dev about it and here is his answer if u are interested

[pine thicket]

anyone know how to start coding

[wispy totem]

Just start

Search tutorial on yt

Learn from that

And then go into practise

Practise is the best way to learn it

[pine thicket]

thank you

[wispy totem]

Connect you with some people that could help you

[hidden lintel]

tryna hover over this text button, but it isnt working for soe reason

[wispy totem]

Btw im also new at coding

[pine thicket]

how long ago did you start

[wispy totem]

I started 8 months ago with the basics like variables, if statements and so on. Then i made a big break and now im learning everything again

So its my second try basically

[pine thicket]

i only started learning like 2 days ago and i only found one guy on yt that was helpful

[celest cipher]

[wispy totem]

Can you tell me his name

[pine thicket]

Brawldevs

[wispy totem]

Oh yea i heard his name

[wispy totem]

Im not into roblox scripting i want do build my own game with unity

[pine thicket]

i used to think all scripting was the same so i thought going to Roblox was going to be easier

[wispy totem]

The basics yea

But the syntax is different

With lua

like c#

[hardy pilot]

I wonder how the ring looks.

[west rain]

Can anyone teach me how to make soccer gfx rigs with the cleats, 3d clothing and frizzy hair if you do hmu it can literally just be a video of you doing a commission and i can just follow along or sum 🙏

[wind pasture]

would anybody like to help me to make blue lock game i animator i need script man

[somber vault]

I have been working on this for 2 days now , but I can't decide a thumbnail can anyone tell me a good one?

[azure sedge]

Is there any guides/tutorials on how to make a blue lock weld system?

[velvet vapor]

what is a blue lock?

[azure sedge]

Soccer anime like soccer weld system

[desert spire]

bruh its so hard to find an actually dedicated scripter

[velvet vapor]

Guys, I got stuck with a problem:

Player in my game can shoot a rocket. When he does it, he uses remote and then one invisible rocket is shot on the server to check hits and on all clients there are client-rockets for better visuals. The problem is that because of replication of characters, my server-rocket finds a touch when in fact the player on his client is not in this point -- he ran from that place before. Server fires clients back that there was hit but on the client it looks like that rocket hit you while it was behind and haven't managed to touch you yet. What's the best approach for this kind of problems?

[quaint depot]

id say use a Raycasting for collision detection

[cinder temple]

does anyone else seem to be having issues with specialmeshes in character hairs?

in studio it seems to function properly but in game it seems to be automatically set to black

[velvet vapor]

But how does it fix the issue?

[quaint depot]

I mean like when the rocket is fired, send the direction and starting position to the server then use raycasting along the rocket's flight path on the server to detect hits, send the result back to all clients (e.g., who was hit, or if no one was) then the client can then handle the visual effects (explosion, damage) based on the result.

could be bc of lag (shitty roblox servers)

[velvet vapor]

I do everything as you said (I detect hits by couple of ifs because the game is in 2d and I do this ifs every heartbeat but nevermind), but even with me running it like locally by pressing 'play' there is a thing that it takes time to replicate the character so the character on the server have a delay and because of that rocket hits him faster than in fact is should be on the client of a sender. (how it will look on the other players client I haven't looked yet tbh)

so on the sender's client it's like rocket didn't reach him yet but he was hitted

[quaint depot]

okay i understand it better now the main problem comes also from server-client replication delay. The server checks for hits based on slightly outdated positions, causing the rocket to hit faster than expected, right? You can use client-side position prediction to account for the replication delay on the server. This means that, even though the server has a slightly outdated position of the player, the server can predict where the player should be based on the velocity and direction they were moving

step 1: When the rocket is fired, send the player’s velocity and position along with the rocket’s data to the server.
step 2:The server can use this information to predict the player’s position at the time the rocket hits, based on the time since the rocket was fired.
Example: If the server knows the player’s velocity and the rocket’s travel time, it can predict the position of the player when the rocket reaches them, and check the collision at that predicted position, rather than the slightly outdated position the server has

[velvet vapor]

Yea, exactly

[quaint depot]

Or you can try a weird method maybe like when the rocket is fired, send the time it was fired to the server. The server then uses the time of the shot to calculate the rocket’s position at the time of collision, effectively "rewinding" to the moment when the rocket was fired then the server checks for a hit at this "rewound" time (adjusted for the replication delay), ensuring the rocket isn’t hitting the player too early ykyk?

check dms i sent you a sample

[potent canopy]

look through the workspace for tipical things and start remaking code the same way and memorizing it and thinking of the code and how it processes and functions

for example

I can easily type this

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0
end
end)

[random quarry]

anyone know how to code this to where players can see other players images going up the bar

[rugged sun]

oh i do

[random quarry]

could you teach me?

or tell me

what to do

[rugged sun]

yeah go to dms

[random quarry]

alr

[shy dock]

how do people make gore systems, mainly detecting where the hit is

[static coral]

raycasting

[shy dock]

obviously but do i use the normal?

because each limb has certain stages and i have no ides how to detect what area it should cut off / load the new mesh

[static coral]

replace hit part with damaged part mesh

and then you can have multiple meshes for different stages of damage

[shy dock]

some limbs have like 3 stages

if a sword or something hits the top, how do i detect that

because it could be anywhere

[static coral]

the top? as in the head?

[shy dock]

if a sword hits an arm, how do i detect if its at the top, the bottom, or the middle and apply a mesh depending on the hit point

[static coral]

maybe just calculate offset from center of part

but i dont think it needs to be that accurate

just need to know which part was hit

[shy dock]

so i get the normal and check the offset?

[shy dock]

thats not the point

[static coral]

normal of what

[shy dock]

the ray

from the result

i get the normal

[static coral]

ig u can but i dont really see a use for getting it

[shy dock]

you have seen an advanced gore system before right

[static coral]

i think so?

[shy dock]

they have a thing where if you shoot the right side of a players head or something, it will load a mesh with a hole in the right

i have no idea how to detect where the hit is

[static coral]

oh

hmmmm well just calculating the hit position’s offset from the center should be enough to figure out where it hit

[shy dock]

but if i have one at the top and the right with the same offset to the center, it wont work

would i put attachments in the body part then detect if the hit is at the attachment and bind it to certain mesh?

[static coral]

you could also divide parts into sections, for example divide head into 4 sections:
top left, top right, bottom left, bottorm right. when the hit position offset is past a certain value or below a certain value it can determine which section of the head was hit

[static coral]

that can work too

[shy dock]

ill see if i can find something to base it off of

online

[static coral]

👍

[shy dock]

thanks for helping

[static coral]

np

[random quarry]

anyone know how you to make it so players are able to see other players images going up the bar?

[sudden estuary]

oh thanks, so my assumption wasn't entirely wrong

[pine torrent]

So simple but i forgot

[sudden estuary]

you script it to make it so

[random gulch]

i accidentally copied someone portfolio html and pasted it into vs studio

[random quarry]

Thank's for explaining it so well!

[civic garnet]

player distance from start / total distance from start = your y

[median stone]

im trying to make a code door where if you click book in order, then you get teleported. also i dont know how to make it so there is no click indicator
any help?

[sudden estuary]

vague questions gets vague answers

[random quarry]

Well, I feel like i explained it pretty well what i needed help with?

When a new player joins the game it creates a new Imagelabel with there roblox icon that everyone else in the game can see when they are going up the ladder and on spawn

[sudden estuary]

then do what butter1796 told , do it for all players in each client

[random quarry]

something like this good (Made with AI) I fixed a couple thing's i havent tested yet

[sudden estuary]

do you know how to script?

[random quarry]

I know how to tweens, prints, thats about it

[sudden estuary]

it has some mistakes

whats tracker2

[random quarry]

The Bar bascially

[sudden estuary]

okay

u need to implement a loop to update the position

and do what the guy above said

set the scale y offset to the ratio and u should be fine

[random quarry]

How do i do this i havent really gotten to this yet

[sudden estuary]

Udim2.fromScale(-.977,ratio)

this should be your position

ratio being the one mentioned above

update that in a loop for all players

[random quarry]

alright

so this looks good?

and just add a loop to update players position

[lofty plinth]

U'd need to dynamically adjust it on the axis u wanna move it

Thats a fixed position

How do u wanna calculate the position?

Stage, position closest to the end ect...

[random quarry]

so when on the ladder it tracks from top to bottom of the ladder and updates on the bar

i have tracking system set up for 1 player image but i want it to be sersided so everyone can see others images

[lofty plinth]

So basically the higher you are the further up on the bar u want it?

[random quarry]

yes

[random quarry]

there is a problem where like 75% way up ladder it shows there already at the top

[lofty plinth]

Get the highest position and use that as the end Y

[random quarry]

how would i find it on the ladder?

[lofty plinth]

(1/endY)*currentY

[random quarry]

just selecting the very top ladder?

[lofty plinth]

Place down a part

Get the position of it

Quickest way i can think of

But u can also make the code check for the part and do it like that

Then whenever u adjust the ladder u can just move the part w

[median stone]

can anyone help? this doesnt work

local bo1 = script.Parent
local bo1click = bo1.bo1click
local number = ""
local code = "3"

bo1click.MouseClick:Connect(function()
number = number.."3"
if number ~= "3" then
number = ""
end
end)

if number == code then
print("complete")
end

[random quarry]

so place part closest to top or scale it to the point where its at the top

[lofty plinth]

Place a part at the top

Scaling it would set the position at the center

[random quarry]

its at top

its the 2755 right

[lofty plinth]

Yeah

So ur formula would be (1/2755.65)*PlayerCurrentY

For position

[random quarry]

this is the script i already have that works this is in the ScreenGUI for "Tracker2" which is the bar

where would i put it

[median stone]

?

[lofty plinth]

Where 1- normalizedPosition is

[lofty plinth]

Errors or just doesnt trigger at all?

[median stone]

just doesnt trigger

[random quarry]

this right

[lofty plinth]

Yeah replace the 1-norm on that line with it

[lofty plinth]

Where is the script aand what type of script is it

[median stone]

normal script and its inside a model named bo1

[lofty plinth]

U dont have a touched event?

[rugged sun]

wdym?

[lofty plinth]

Wherebis bo1 located

[random quarry]

how would i put this in the script for the Y thing you did

[median stone]

inside a model named bookshelf

[lofty plinth]

Use the formula I gave u

[random quarry]

(1/2755.65)*PlayerCurrentY Exactly like this

[lofty plinth]

Replace PlayerCurrentY without playerY

[lofty plinth]

The event u wanna trigger it with

Is it on the server?

[rugged sun]

oh okay gimme a sec

[random quarry]

how would i seperate the "playerY"

[lofty plinth]

(1/2775)*playerY

[random quarry]

correct? just need clairifcation

[lofty plinth]

Ye correct

[random quarry]

alright

[random quarry]

you sure its in right spot it puts the player image at the top

instead of making that the top of the bar

[rugged sun]

nexustar

thanks bro the script you gave me worked

[random quarry]

np bro

[lofty plinth]

Does it update correctly when u try to go higher or lower?

[random quarry]

let me see

[random quarry]

no when i climb the ladder it starts going down so should i change to X instead?

Distopian i didnt ping you

[median stone]

@lofty plinth

[lofty plinth]

Whats ur startY?

[lofty plinth]

Show me the explorer hierarchy for it

[random quarry]

i placed a part at the bottom

[lofty plinth]

1 sec lemme check smth rq

[random quarry]

btw bro thank you so much for helping

[lofty plinth]

Can u show me the properties for the bar?

[random quarry]

like whats in the ScreenGui?

oh nvm

ik what you mean

[random quarry]

Bar properties

[lofty plinth]

Wondering if its rotated or smth because the formula should be fine

What about the plrImage properties

[random quarry]

like the PNG size?

of the image

[lofty plinth]

Try using MouseClick over what ur using rn

[lofty plinth]

Stuff like anchorpoint and hierachy

[random quarry]

ohh alr

[median stone]

i am i thought

[lofty plinth]

Could u do me a favour and select the bar plus the plr img in explorer and show me the highlighted gui objects

Wanna make sure they are actually connected

[random quarry]

this what you mean?

Give me a second im sending other SS

[lofty plinth]

Yeah

[lofty plinth]

Logically it should work hmm

Probs missing smth imma look back rq

[median stone]

distopian, any ideas?

[random quarry]

its just inverted it seems

[random quarry]

if you want to help maymay ill see whats wrong rq

[lofty plinth]

I see what it is

Lemme change the formula slightly rq

Then ill help em

[random quarry]

ok

[lofty plinth]

(1/2775)*(2775-playerY)

[lofty plinth]

Can u add a debug print to see if the code triggers at all?

[lofty plinth]

@random quarry

[random quarry]

all that into it right

[lofty plinth]

Forgot to put the 2775- woops

Ye replace formula with that

[random quarry]

like this?

[lofty plinth]

Yup

[random quarry]

NICE

worked your goated

Thanks

[lofty plinth]

If u ever wanna make it higher just adjust the 2775 or connect it to the part Y

[rugged sun]

guys

when ever your avaliable you know how to do the thing where when a player joins it creates a new image label with there roblox profile image that everyone can see

I can pay you to help me

I'm getting paid soon

[lofty plinth]

I can help for free you just need to use PlayerAdded and PlayerRemoved and loop through all players on joining

[median stone]

ive got it to kinda work now. everything goes through but once the code is inputted correctly, you have to enter the code twice for it to work again

[random quarry]

when you're done helping maymay you mind walking me through with it im not very good with Lua

[lofty plinth]

Send me the code u have rn ill whip up an example

@random quarry

[random quarry]

ok

[blazing coral]

Is faded between teleports a good idea

[random quarry]

do i replace everything or add it in a blank part of the script

[lofty plinth]

Wdym?

[lofty plinth]

Save what u have rn somewhere as a file or smth and replace it with that

[blazing coral]

Like when you teleport should I add a fade in fade out on the screen

[lofty plinth]

I havent tested it so it might not work as intended

[lofty plinth]

Its preference but it does show polish

[random quarry]

only thing is the image wont move up the bar like as he climbs ladder

[lofty plinth]

Any errors?

[random quarry]

let me check

[random quarry]

No errors

just not working

[lofty plinth]

Go to line 34

Replaced CharacterRemoved with CharacterRemoving

I was editting the template not the actual 1

That should do it

[random quarry]

perfect

works thanks

now i need to test if other players images show up

how do i test this

just uploading game

[lofty plinth]

U can use studio playtest to simulate multiple players

[dense ruin]

this does not get thumbnails however

if everything else works except thumbnails, just test it with internal server for the meantime then use a phone with an alt account while you use your main on the website

i used thumbnail stuff for my game when people joined

[lofty plinth]

If it works with 1 itll work with multiple players icon wise

[random quarry]

how do you paste scripts like this so i can send this guy his stopwatch script

[lofty plinth]

.```lua
Code here

Remove the . And end it with ```

[dense ruin]

oh yea, i keep thinking of it as if its just like my game where the only person you cant see is yourelf

yep, use ur brain, solo play on the website

[zenith night]

like this

[random quarry]

ohh

i see

[lofty plinth]

1 day they'll add it for mobile 😭

[random quarry]

yea

[zenith night]

it's already here

[lofty plinth]

Oh 1 other thing dont forget to clamp it between 0 and 1

Forgot 2 do it here

[random quarry]

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

it works @lofty plinth

W bro your a goat

[lofty plinth]

Perfect

[random quarry]

mind if i add you?

[zenith night]

would you accept or decline

[lofty plinth]

I'd prefer 2 not atm my list is a mess lol

If u send a request tho i can later

Wanna clear it out first

[random quarry]

Not a problem, thanks a lot for the help

[slender owl]

anyone here experienced in the fusion framework?

[jolly vessel]

Fuck frameworks

[oak nova]

anyone here familiar with profileservice?

i have a question

[hoary cedar]

What is it?

[jolly vessel]

Fuck frameworks

[oak nova]

im trying to make a system for my unit battledefense game. So far I have the main stuff, such as currency, & player level. Right now I am stuck on figuring out how I'll be able to make the unit's level up after the player finishes a run.

[jolly vessel]

2k robux and I'll do it

[oak nova]

too give a clear example of how the leveling system works, it's basically like those anime tower defense games

[slender owl]

that is NOT worth 2k robux

[jolly vessel]

You use a framework bro shut up

[slender owl]

so what?

you're the same person charging 2k for a simple leveling system

[oak nova]

so um

can anyone help me...

[jolly vessel]

If it's so simple tell me how it works

[slender owl]

failed ragebait

[rustic torrent]

ai is doing pretty nice with stuff now,

[midnight escarp]

does wathcign a system tutorial and trying to understand and not jsut copying it makes me better and also is that the best method also sometimes it takes me 1 hour even i just watched 5 min of the video tryna fully understand it ( i replay it over and over)

[oak nova]

crazy how I got left on seen by the whole server 💔

can't even ask for help nm

[slender owl]

Its late thats why

[rustic torrent]

what u need help w bro

[slender owl]

Also how are you handling the data for the units

[dense ruin]

peaspod + devking + suphi kaner

in that order

[oak nova]

@rustic torrent

[dense ruin]

make games with bad code, make more games with bad code until they have less bad code

also b ricey

[oak nova]

so when a player summons a unit, it copies a unitid into the player profile

[slender owl]

is this id unique per unit summoned or is the id preset for the type of unit it is

[oak nova]

unique

[slender owl]

Hold up call me i can try to help

[oak nova]

so it comes out like this when u check the player data

{
                    ["Currency"] =  ▶ {...},
                    ["Inventory"] =  ▼  {
                       ["Hotbar"] =  ▶ {...},
                       ["OwnedUnits"] =  ▼  {
                          ["Dummy1ImageButton_001"] =  ▶ {...},
                          ["Dummy1ImageButton_002"] =  ▶ {...},

How do I know the code is bad tho

Like it could work but it could be unoptimised, unorganised etc

you will look back and it will be clear

like aging. you dont notice it day by day until you look back and its a different person

yo does anyone know how to go about making transformations?

[dire patio]

how much money should i put into ads?

on a cash grab game

[cold vigil]

i swear im not trolling or anything, i genuinely dont understand whats happening

ive checked my script for these multiple times

i havent touched lua in a while honestly

[lean ocean]

LOL

[cold vigil]

i asked like 2 friends that makes games too

nobody knew what was happening

im deadass bro

please

[lean ocean]

I can't help

I don't build

[cold vigil]

humanoids have normal walkspeed and everything too

[cold vigil]

i dont think its because of the build

[hoary cedar]

https://gyazo.com/705f674dd6fdee05155d68afcdb8b453

[cold vigil]

i dont have weird invisible parts on the build

[gloomy kraken]

how did you make the drag and drop?

[hoary cedar]

The dragging part isn't all that hard to implement, but with the introduction of drag detectors, the UIDragDetector takes care of that work. The rest is just state management and proximity calculations

[lean ocean]

you can easily make it without a uidragdetector too

[hoary cedar]

"The dragging part isn't all that hard to implement"

Lol

Definitely not worth it nowadays

Use what's given to you

[cold vigil]

no builds at all btw

does roblox rigs from avatar builder work??

i genuinely dont fucking undertstand

[gloomy kraken]

alr ty for explaining

[cold vigil]

used a random rig from the toolbox

does anyone know whats even happening

[lean ocean]

mb

[primal cave]

if randomnum < rarities[rarity] or randomnum == rarities[rarity] then
                local minStock, maxStock = restockrange[rarity][1], restockrange[rarity][2]
                currentStock[seedName] = math.random(minStock, maxStock)
            end

can sm1 help me?? I cant see the err here

[cold vigil]

"singularitycodes"

use <=

& show the error msg

[runic quarry]

Think you'd want to send the relevant code too

[quaint depot]

does anyone maybe know whats the best way to code a transformation? like do i have to insert a tool or clone the character and then change the humanoid?

[ivory osprey]

could be the speed in your code, idk if you send it yet

[cold vigil]

first thought it'd be the scripts but found nothing wrong, i restarted my studio and everything worked fine

[cold vigil]

why would i set the speed to math.huge or smt lol

[ivory osprey]

Ah yes, the "turning it off and on again" method

[runic quarry]

I mean maybe it's a delta time issue

Anyway good to check anyways

[cold vigil]

do you need me to send a video

?

[runic quarry]

You can just send the script

[cold vigil]

or do you mean it non-sarcastically

[runic quarry]

I mean I know it works now but

[cold vigil]

cause like some people say that as if im telling BS

[runic quarry]

No he's just saying it's like the common IT problem solving method

Of turning something off and on

And that similarity is amusing

[cold vigil]

yeah but just to make sure

[runic quarry]

Does it matter

[cold vigil]

it does to me

[runic quarry]

You don't even know bro

[cold vigil]

do you even know?

[runic quarry]

Why do you need to care

He could be 7 for all you know

[cold vigil]

because it matters to me

maybe

[runic quarry]

Just send the script

[cold vigil]

hollon

local pause = v:FindFirstChild("pause")
if pause then pause=pause.Value else pause=0 end
hum:MoveTo(v.Position)
hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
task.wait(pause+math.random(0.32,0.75))
if i >= #mainpath:GetChildren() then
  rig:Destroy()
end```

woah

whyd it do that

[white linden]

Guys. Who has ever cashed out robux before here???

[runic quarry]

Pause is an instance value yes?

[cold vigil]

not an instance value

[runic quarry]

IntValue

[cold vigil]

IntegerValue yes

IntValue isnt instance

instances are objects like parts, etc.

[runic quarry]

Why are you setting pause=pause.Value

[cold vigil]

because i wanna check if it exists

[runic quarry]

Mistype 🙏

[cold vigil]

some waypoints didnt have a pause

[runic quarry]

But uh afterwards pause takes on an integer role

[cold vigil]

so i just put that in

[runic quarry]

And won't be treated as a IntValue right

[cold vigil]

exactly

[runic quarry]

Well I mean

[cold vigil]

and i used it for the task.wait()

and added some randomness to it

[runic quarry]

I guess it's fine

Just a studio bug then

[cold vigil]

yeah i kind of do things pretty different from others

[candid pumice]

Do battleground games play animatikns server sided or client sided?

[gloomy kraken]

client

[candid pumice]

How do they sync it exactly

[gloomy kraken]

remote events

[candid pumice]

Does it sync well enough

[gloomy kraken]

yes

[candid pumice]

So I just play it on my self and send a remote event. My movement gets synced across server to other client and the defender recieves a remote. And defender play it on their self and that animation also gets synced with other clients. Correct?

[gloomy kraken]

player plays an animation -> remote event to server -> server fires all clients to play anim -> other players play that animation for the player

i mean you also could add sanity checks to make sure the right animation is played

[candid pumice]

When I play an animation on myself isnt it auto synced to everyone since I have full network ownership of my character

[gloomy kraken]

no its because anything that happens on the client stays on the client except remote stuff

[candid pumice]

So if I played it again from other client isnt it going tk overlap

[candid pumice]

How do emotes work. Do we send an event for them aswell so other client can play it on my character?

[gloomy kraken]

no emotes arent animations and you'll have to pay 5 trillion dollars to roblox to make emotes

[candid pumice]

What

😭

They are just moving parts?

Not animations?

I dont get it

[gloomy kraken]

emotes are animations

think mark think

[candid pumice]

Thats what I said dude

Im gwnuinely trying to understand how to sync animations

[tropic sequoia]

Somebody help me out with some facts, if I have 2 for loops inside one another. Can I force continue the loop that is not embedded within the other loop.

        for i = 1, #cloned_slots, 1 do
            if cloned_slots ~= nil then
                if cloned_slots[i]:GetAttributes() and i > #cloned_slots then
                    
                end
                if materials == block_data then
                    cloned_slots[i]:SetAttribute("ItemName", block_data[materials]["Name"])
                    cloned_slots[i]:SetAttribute("ItemId", block_data[materials]["Id"])
                    cloned_slots[i]:SetAttribute("ItemCapacity", block_data[materials]["Capacity"])
                    
                else
                    cloned_slots[i]:SetAttribute("ItemName", "")
                    cloned_slots[i]:SetAttribute("ItemId", "")
                    cloned_slots[i]:SetAttribute("ItemCapacity", 0)
                end
            end
        end
    end```

This loop has so many bug that needs fixing but I just need an idea of how to professional use for loops in this sense

[velvet vapor]

like how to continue external loop while u are in internal one?

[tropic sequoia]

yes

[spiral jungle]

yes

[velvet vapor]

i mean you can just break the internal and external will go the next iteration?..

[spiral jungle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1151874214995955842/1307831735425175622/togif.gif

[velvet vapor]

or i don't understand the problem

[tropic sequoia]

maybe I ain't being clear, I tried breaking the for loop but I want it to repeat the i = 1, #cloned_slots do process on the next value of the array.

[velvet vapor]

if you break the internal loop the external one will move to the next step and it will again start your

i = 1, #cloned_slots do

[tropic sequoia]

oh fr?

[spiral jungle]

Yes

[velvet vapor]

it only breaks loop when you wrote it

not all loops

[tropic sequoia]

then it should be a problem with my data module it returns a table full of data

maybe I didn't call it properly

[velvet vapor]

check that you wrote it in the right place, maybe you broke the external one

[proud lantern]

bro can i ask you something

[tropic sequoia]

?

[tropic sequoia]

what is the question

[spiral jungle]

Ye

[proud lantern]

how long have you been doing robolox scripting, how long did it took to be able to code in diff game?

[tropic sequoia]

only have a year experience

[spiral jungle]

A gazillion years

[tropic sequoia]

I still have too many things I have to code. it depends on motivation and time * effort. Logical understanding is key. Just learning new things can help you become a better scripter. Learn the API and how to use them first, then focus on your logic and problem solving skills. You need math too.

If you are scripting continuously, everyday. You will be better than most.

[tardy pasture]

prob because off ur if statments

[jolly vessel]

Cuz you're using ai

[orchid osprey]

Is tool in server storage

[somber vault]

yep

[somber vault]

when i tried to pay someone to do it everyone told me to use ai now that i use ai everyone is telling me not to use ai

[gusty garden]

Who told you to use ai?

[jolly vessel]

Pay me and I'll do it

[jaunty path]

Any output

[somber vault]

a buck is good?

[jolly vessel]

A kiss is better

[somber vault]

i dont think so

[somber vault]

deal bro

when i get home in an hour we can try to fix it

[jaunty path]

Did you check???

[jolly vessel]

Remind me then

[somber vault]

alright

[tardy pasture]

if u use ai without know how to code u will never learn

i mean i sometimes use ai but i understand what it writes

[misty lodge]

i only use ai to write long dictionaries

[muted lake]

do you know where i can learn frontend quickly for vfx?

[pine torrent]

I use it to fill up funcs quickly

Like tweening the gui

I don't use it for advanced coding

[brave jay]

is this good sorting or nah

[pine torrent]

Why you have local script in SSS

But it looks like classic way to sort it

[civic pulsar]

i dont understand the language of this tribe

i admire programmers

[arctic ginkgo]

Ayo does anybody have any good plugins for organizing a messy studio? Into folders and stuff

I looked around found a few potential ones I could use

[tropic sequoia]

Guys can you help me understand how to use table.sort with instances that have the same name as a number? For example, function sortTableData(tableData) table.sort(tableData, function(a, b) return a[2] > b[2] end) end

this will always return either 2 syntaxs. 1 being: 2 is not a valid member of Folder "Players.SilentReap0.Slots.Backpack.14"

2 being: Players.SilentReap0.PlayerScripts.Client.BackpackService:146: attempt to compare Instance < Instance

[rocky lynx]

Are they value types?

[tropic sequoia]

yeah

[rocky lynx]

then do

a["2"].Value > b["2"].Value

[somber vault]

Ohhh “2” is the name?

Thought you were going through an array or something
