[somber vault]

also use this server alot

[ember otter]

How much do you earn per comm?

[somber vault]

idk

[weak radish]

billions

[somber vault]

i dont do commisions bcz i dont have a portfolio

[ember otter]

Alright how much do y'all earn on average?

[weak radish]

real

Ive done it once

[somber vault]

i make good frameworks and systems but then i scrap projects

[ember otter]

Answer this last question

[weak radish]

Negative

[ember otter]

How much do y'all earn on average

[somber vault]

0

you earn by making games

[weak radish]

Average across this year: 300/365

[somber vault]

cooms are for possios

[weak radish]

uh oh

[somber vault]

comms*

[weak radish]

Am I cooked for doing a 300rbx comm

[somber vault]

not cooms

[somber vault]

toolbox is the right tool for 300rbx

[weak radish]

it was debugging

[somber vault]

oh

in that case then idk

[weak radish]

farely easy

My favourite thing to do in my spare time is making scripts with 5 different variables all with the same values because I cant be bothered to remember the names of them

As you can imagine my scripts look beautiful

[somber vault]

fr

[weak radish]

Only cus i was tired and it was a personal project

but thats all the same script

[keen hollow]

Why is it every time I do a tutorial sword m1 is a tool I just want m1 like in games how do I do this

[civic rain]

idfk

[chilly canyon]

tf is this

[upbeat jungle]

My game deals with alot of NPCS walking around, how do i prevent lag while keeping alot of them?

[lusty barn]

don't use humanoids

humanoids are intensive

make your own handler

and don't use a script in each, use ECS or OOP

[raven dust]

@shut sorrel hello bro i need ur help

i made a zombie ai but when they get close enough to players (if players moving too) they never get to touch em, they start stuttering n be laggy ionnow

[limpid crown]

Can someone explain this to me I don't understand it I am watching a tutorial how to learn lua. (This is not mines)

[vale cedar]

what about it

[limpid crown]

r u talking to me?

[vale cedar]

who else

[limpid crown]

oh

well i dont under stand the 5000 < 10000

i dont rlly know how to explain it

[raven dust]

bababoi u wanna help me

[static coral]

do you know what < means

[limpid crown]

yes but nvm

oh i found it out

[shy basin]

somewhere in this script is an error with the function LoadProfileAsync, anyone know how to fix ?

[rough burrow]

does anyone know how to play a sound right as soon as a player leaves?

[shut sorrel]

If they're close enough stop using pathfinding and switch to humanoid:MoveTo()

[rough burrow]

on the client

[pulsar acorn]

how can i check the performance of my game

[static coral]

creations tab on create.roblox.com and then click your game

[raven dust]

tried that

ive been trying everything for whole day none of em worked

[shut sorrel]

how often are you updating the MoveTo/Pathfinding, are you using heartbeat or a while loop?

[raven dust]

heartbeat

idk

thats the code

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

local AIController = {}
local zombies = {}

local DETECTION_RANGE = 70
local RUN_DELAY = 4
local WALK_SPEED = 7.5
local RUN_SPEED = 30

-- each zombie will register like: AIController.Register(zombie)
function AIController.Register(zombie)
    local humanoid = zombie:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
    local root = zombie:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    if not humanoid or not root then return end

    table.insert(zombies, {
        model = zombie,
        humanoid = humanoid,
        root = root,
        target = nil,
        chasing = false,
        running = false,
        chaseStart = 0,
    })
end

-- main update loop
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt)
    local playerList = Players:GetPlayers()

    for i, zombie in ipairs(zombies) do
        local zRoot = zombie.root
        local zHum = zombie.humanoid

        -- validate
        if not zRoot or not zHum or zHum.Health <= 0 then continue end

        -- already chasing someone
        if zombie.chasing and zombie.target and zombie.target:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
            local tRoot = zombie.target.HumanoidRootPart
            local dist = (tRoot.Position - zRoot.Position).Magnitude

            -- stop if too far
            if dist > DETECTION_RANGE * 1.5 then
                zombie.chasing = false
                zombie.running = false
                zombie.target = nil
                zHum.WalkSpeed = 0
            else
                -- run after 4 secs
                if not zombie.running and tick() - zombie.chaseStart >= RUN_DELAY then
                    zombie.running = true
                    zHum.WalkSpeed = RUN_SPEED
                end
                -- move toward target
                if tick() % 0.25 < dt then
                    zHum:MoveTo(tRoot.Position)
                end
            end
        else
            -- detect nearest player
            local closest, minDist = nil, DETECTION_RANGE
            for _, player in ipairs(playerList) do
                local char = player.Character
                if char and char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
                    local dist = (char.HumanoidRootPart.Position - zRoot.Position).Magnitude
                    if dist < minDist then
                        closest = char
                        minDist = dist
                    end
                end
            end

            if closest then
                zombie.target = closest
                zombie.chasing = true
                zombie.running = false
                zombie.chaseStart = tick()
                zHum.WalkSpeed = WALK_SPEED
            end
        end
    end
end)

return AIController 

[shut sorrel]

why do you use tick() % 0.25 < dt

[raven dust]

no idea i used ai to make it 💀

[shut sorrel]

Yeah remove that if statement just leave the moveto

[raven dust]

uhh it kinda better now but still same

lemme send a clip

[raven dust]

https://medal.tv/games/roblox-studio/clips/kgcBLOjVL1IT3S4eJ?invite=cr-MSx1a00sMzg4MjkzODAz

[shut sorrel]

Try changing run_delay to 0 rq

[chilly canyon]

basically if your cash is above 100K then you're rich and if its below then your poor its a simple if statement

[shut sorrel]

I think it's setting running to false so it goes back to walking then still detects player and starts running over and over again in a loop

[raven dust]

changes nun

[raven dust]

ion think so

[shut sorrel]

Set walkspeed to the same as runspeed

[raven dust]

yea still same

[shut sorrel]

If you still stand still does it keep it's distance?

[raven dust]

nope it sticks

[shut sorrel]

This is a server script right in ServerScriptService?

[raven dust]

module script in serverscriptservice yea

local hrp = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

-- replace these with your actual animation ids
local idleAnimId = "rbxassetid://78236964138242"
local walkAnimId = "rbxassetid://180426354"
local runAnimId = "rbxassetid://110375194022731"

local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

local idle = Instance.new("Animation")
idle.AnimationId = idleAnimId
local idleTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(idle)

local walk = Instance.new("Animation")
walk.AnimationId = walkAnimId
local walkTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(walk)

local run = Instance.new("Animation")
run.AnimationId = runAnimId
local runTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(run)

local currentTrack = nil

local function playTrack(track)
    if currentTrack == track then return end
    if currentTrack then
        currentTrack:Stop()
    end
    currentTrack = track
    currentTrack:Play()
end

-- adjust speed thresholds if needed
local WALK_THRESHOLD = 0.1
local RUN_THRESHOLD = 8

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
    local speed = hrp.Velocity.Magnitude

    if speed < WALK_THRESHOLD then
        playTrack(idleTrack)
    elseif speed < RUN_THRESHOLD then
        playTrack(walkTrack)
    else
        playTrack(runTrack)
    end
end)

local AIController = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("AIController"))
AIController.Register(script.Parent)

this is the script in zombie model

[shut sorrel]

Your script just isn't updating fast enough I think, it could be from uncessary computations or maybe since your calling another heartbeat from a module and have that one handling animations too

[raven dust]

what can i do 😭

it seems its not cause of having 2 heartbeats i changed anim script to smth else its still same

[left apex]

Anyone here do small/medium scripting comms?

[raven dust]

i also tried setting network ownership of zombie to server it was still same

[karmic ether]

Yea

[hasty stirrup]

can someone help me with scripting

[left apex]

Dm me

[limpid crown]

thx

[karmic ether]

Still need help?

[vocal wren]

anybody wanna mak a roblox game like bloxburg, no hiring, just creating it for fun :) (dm me)

[shut sorrel]

Uhh without changing too much try this
task.spawn(function() AIController.Register(script.Parent) end) at the end of the script you sent

[hasty stirrup]

can someone help me with scripting

[shy basin]

yes. very. wanna go in a call in server ? if you can/want to help

[karmic ether]

let me check the code rq

[shy basin]

tysm

[raven dust]

still same n got this in output "Workspace.Infected.Script:51: attempt to call a nil value - Server - Script:51"

[left apex]

Anyone here do small/medium scripting comms? Need a system done for dropping dominos

[blissful aspen]

like that?

[left apex]

yeah like those domino playground games

[karmic ether]

Fehler kommt, wenn active_session den Wert nil hat, was dazu führt, dass der Code in eine Endlosschleife gerät, statt das Profil zu erstellen

[shy basin]

that means ?

and why the sudden denglish ? lol

how to fix the error ?

[left apex]

@blissful aspen are u able to make a system for that?

[blissful aspen]

done

[blissful aspen]

@left apex

[shy basin]

and replace the file with that

ok hopefully it works

[karmic ether]

not everything just the part

[left apex]

Oh wow, Can u goto msgs?

[shy basin]

alr

[shy basin]

im getting the same error still. did i replace in the wrong place ?

this is the line it shows when i click on the error if that helps

[old basin]

i need help making a script that gives a player a role named "FreeAdmin" when they click on a part using hd admin

im rlly confused and idk how to make it work

[steel elm]

local TouchedPart = game.Workspace.TestPart

TouchedPart.Touch:Connect(function(part)
    if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        script.Parent.Visible = true
    end
end)

Is it possible to make it detect when "TestPart" is no longer being touched?

[shy basin]

isnt there like ~= or something, the same as != for other languages ?

[median echo]

TouchEnded?

[viral basalt]

my warnings increased heavily even though they don't popup in the developer console?

all I did was replace the lines of
local datafolder = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DataPlayer1")

with

local datafolder = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DataPlayer1", 60)

there are no warnings in the developer console whatsoever, but they spiked heavily after i implement these in the error tool metrics

[steel elm]

I've tried, but then the entire script stopped working

Nvm, i placed something wrong and now it works

[bitter siren]

anything wrong with this script?

[steel elm]

Thx anyways

[median echo]

nw

[bitter siren]

when i reset game starts lagging idk how to fix

[shy basin]

ty man

im still getting the error

[limpid crown]

whats the diffrence between using workspace and script.parent if they both change properties (im new and trying to learn studio)

[somber vault]

can you make a global leaderboard with ProfileStore?

[glacial juniper]

Guys what's a 2 player obby idea

[shy basin]

maybe a fresh idea for a 2 player "manipulation" obby. so one player goes through the obby and the other trys to sabotage.

[tiny obsidian]

no u cant

[limpid crown]

What is the best coding basics tutorial?

[haughty pagoda]

Anyone know how to make a code for hourly bosses. Example a boss that spawns in once ever hour and stays alive for 15 minutes then despawns.

[somber vault]

please dont use Code Coach bro is a racist and called me n word so many times lol i used to know him

and he just tries to scam kids to buy his course or books that are AI generated

[gilded wind]

Dms

[limpid crown]

yes I watched one of his videos and he was saying how functions are like "slaves"

[somber vault]

he's weird bro

used to tell me about how his dad had a pron addiciton 😭

i still got the dms

[limpid crown]

dawg what 😭

[somber vault]

Yup

[limpid crown]

expose him bruu

[somber vault]

He used to go by StaySail

[limpid crown]

lol

[somber vault]

LMAOO

Just look up his name

on this discord chat

someone said "Worst developer ive met is staysail" lol

not just me

[limpid crown]

Idk how he can be racist look at him 😭

[somber vault]

LMAOOO

[gilded wind]

Anyone wanna help me with a game it's actually rly cool idea dm if u want to help money is involved

[vital mural]

sI have a HUB System from which players can select which Map they want to spawn on, since the game is RP focused I need to send players to the Biggest server so they can actually play the game. However, this current system sometimes sends the player into a different server in the place it teleports them to. Can someone help me out and lmk if there's something I can do to fix the issue?

[scenic pike]

whatd u use to learn then

i dont want a tutor im just tryna see how i should get started

whether theres some youtuber or if i should learn it from somewhere else

[slow coyote]

Would any of yous know or are someone who can make scripts for helmets im trying to help my friend with a fire department game

[onyx inlet]

My email gets spammed because of him\

like FUCK OFF

[somber vault]

idk i've been in roblox studio for like 7 years i think i learned from alvinblox tutorials but he dont really post much anymore and dev fourm and roblox documentation when i need to do something

[somber vault]

LMAOO yeah he's weird bro

[scenic pike]

i was gonna say originally back in the day i tried alvinblox but idk i was way younger then, i learned some java cuz i was taking cs so im tryna get into scripting here, just tryna see what i should use to learn

[ruby gazelle]

tutorials are overrated, watch em for the very basics then just problem solve and refer to documentation for syntax

[scenic pike]

fair ngl

i think tutorials are easy when u have experience from other languages tho

[chilly canyon]

"The Roblox Coach" 🥶 asf

[ruby gazelle]

Well if you know another language already luau is very easy anyways because it’s one of the easiest languages altogether

But generally most actual knowledge can be used across all languages. That’s why learning programming patterns is so useful because they’ll always be relevant

but don’t worry about that until you’re at least somewhat proficient at lua

[scenic pike]

i appreciate the help

im probably gonna tap in tonight it does look pretty simple icl

[ruby gazelle]

Yeah i got all the basics out the way in abt 2 days, it’s more about focusing and dropping ur ego. If you know you don’t understand something don’t js move on, try to understand it and if you can’t look for other resources to help you

[somber vault]

Yoo, i set a model as a charcter and it works all good but i cant hear the sounds i put in the game anyone knows why>?

using beams can i change how many off the textures are showing up?

its so many

[hallow linden]

Now to divine what points of this apply to my code and what is just copy pasted

[somber vault]

what is this

[hallow linden]

application for scripter role

[somber vault]

OHHH okay

[hallow linden]

some of this just looks invalid for my code right

like, he mentions 200 lines

mine has 200

mentions varying the API

I only don't use physics really

I commented my code, tho apparently that wasn't enough? I'm not coding assembly here, I don't wanna insult anyone's intelligence

[vernal peak]

im using brawldev

he got 2 series, beginner and advanced

i really like it

[viral basalt]

anyone knows the reason of these spikes?

99.99% sure not related to my game specifically, started happening after i've restarted the servers

[vagrant shoal]

is this a crude way of checking if a user has shift lock on?

[abstract dagger]

where do u apply

[hallow linden]

#information

[abstract dagger]

very cool

[somber vault]

bro

[viral basalt]

?

nvm its coming from coregui, which has nothing to do with me

roblox did an oopsie i think

[umbral dock]

oh

[viral basalt]

its weird that this started happening after I updated my servers a few hours ago

it didn't happen when I updated servers 2 days ago

only now

[eternal solar]

do scripters make everything thereself or do they use other peoples work

[tidal steppe]

why cant i change the scale of a model via script

[sudden estuary]

they do use other people's work

[eternal solar]

oh alr thanks

[smoky condor]

Hi guys. Since im expanding my server to scripting, may I know yalls “popular” people in the scripting space?

[sudden estuary]

@fervent belfry very popular fam around here

[modern seal]

😭

[smoky condor]

So funny

[sudden estuary]

thank you, im very popular for funny here

[shell imp]

what are simple things to code to get better ?

[limpid crown]

What is a good tutorial for scripting basics for beginners that’s recent?

[hexed cedar]

I would suggest brawl devs tuts.

[granite forge]

Learn lua first then how to use it on roblox

[random gulch]

Just learn it straight up instead

I used wiki not AI

[ember nimbus]

what's wrong with math.noise

[nova yarrow]

perlin is a noise algorithm

[ember nimbus]

math.noise is perlin noise

[nova yarrow]

It is? And even if mine uses custom seeds

[ember nimbus]

math.noise takes x, y and z, where z can be used as the seed

[distant jay]

anyone have tips on how to get hired to build a portfolio if u have none

[jolly vessel]

Just pray

[terse vector]

People look for ability, that doesn't mean you need to have scripted a full game, but you need to show that you have the ability to do so. Do a specific feature. Say, you want to code working bow and arrow. Write it down, set a timer for 3 hours, and see what you can do. Hopefully, you will now have 1 portfolio item. If not, you have some coding to learn. Pick something that is hard, but do-able in 2-3 hours.

im trying to add name tags and when i try to make the color of the text the players team color it doesnt work

im like really tired rn so i barely understand my own code but

nvm i fixed it

            if teamColor then
                TextLabel.TextColor3 = teamColor.TeamColor.Color

[weak radish]

Wdym, waiting for playerui?

Obviously I didn't need to redefine local player each time cus I had variables

and I was just being lazy

And the local script isn't in player gui it's in starter character scripts

[lapis oak]

hey, can you tell me what a handler is

I want to learn

[distant jay]

tysm.

[remote yarrow]

is there any script that make Parts Follow waypoints?

[somber vault]

shouldi learn modeling after i learn luau?

[pulsar acorn]

yes

[remote yarrow]

alr how do i do that any tutorial or a good place to start?

[pulsar acorn]

well what you're tying to do is similar to tower defence games

there's a playlist that covers how to do this

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtMUa6NlF10fEF1WOeDtuGcIn0RdUNL7c&si=8kUoPNGHBRjgniQx

[remote yarrow]

yeah but all of that is done with rigs mostly so ill check it out

[pulsar acorn]

i was able to do something similar, the key thing is just moving a part from one place to another using one part that everything is attached too

[remote yarrow]

so like a moving platform that just follows a path back and forward.

[copper tundra]

guy7s what is the difference between delay and wait?

oh

thanks

[bronze lynx]

print(1)
task.wait(3)
print(2)
-- 1, 2
``` ```lua
task.delay(3, function()
     print(1)
end)
print(2)
-- 2, 1

task.delay goes to the next line immefiately, while task.wait yields the thread

[copper tundra]

thanks

[gusty pawn]

it leaves out the important details

[elfin timber]

Im pretty bad at explaining but imagine you have a function that spawns an npc and destroys it after 10 seconds.
using wait, the whole function would be halted untill the npc is destroyed after these 10 seconds, while using task delay would destroy the npc after 10 seconds, but the script would move on

[gusty pawn]

its basically a guide

[somber vault]

then which thing should i start with

[gusty pawn]

Watch Brawldevs

[somber vault]

he misses out stuff to and its take alot of time him to explain a little thing

[gloomy kraken]

ad jumpscare

[somber vault]

XD

[gloomy kraken]

he spelt exercise wrong

[lapis oak]

@lost agate

[gloomy kraken]

your tutorial literally spent 1 minute explaining how to assign values to a variable

[somber vault]

should i start with it

[gloomy kraken]

nvm he spent 5 minutes explaining how to add variables

[somber vault]

and it takes 10 min for brawldev

[gloomy kraken]

i dont think so

[fresh belfry]

i dont think watching tutorials are even useful

unless you know absolutely nothing

[elfin timber]

unless you know nothing

oh you said that already

[gloomy kraken]

yeah roblox documentation is better

[elfin timber]

what made me improve a lot is recreating simple games / toolbox items (after knowing the basics)

[somber vault]

check it urself

[fresh belfry]

figure out the basic syntax then just start scripting

[elfin timber]

too hard to understand for people that dont grasp the basics

[fresh belfry]

watching tutorials for 10 hours will do nothing

[somber vault]

i know the basics except tables playerstats

[dark cedar]

Yall what's best to use for combat and ability hitboxes? Raycast Or Shapecast or getpartsinpart or getpartbounds ??

[gloomy kraken]

if its small then raycast if its big then getpartsboundinbox

[somber vault]

sybeu

[fresh belfry]

just google how to use a table then start scripting lmao

[dark cedar]

Ok thanks

[gloomy kraken]

❌

[somber vault]

what about advance

[fresh belfry]

if you dont know how to do something just google / watch a small youtube vid on it

[somber vault]

how did u learn scripting

tyyyyy @fresh belfry

i forgot most of the thing the last time i open roblox studio was 7 months ago

i think i need to start from the beginning

im just gonna read the docs

[edgy mist]

hi

[raven dust]

@shut sorrel yo

i fixed the problem but uh

i got a new one

every npc except the first one (the ones i duplicated) fall on the ground for the first few secs when they sight a player

u see the one on front doesnt do it

i deleted em n duplicated the working one again and checked if they are the same but it keeps doingi t

[lapis oak]

reminds me of that one deepwoken gallery video of a vesperion getting chased by mudskipper

thanks

this lead me to remembering something

[raven dust]

i tried making em massless as well, theyre massless in the clip, nothing changes

[raven dust]

lol it reminds me karliah's pathfinding

lemme try

nope doesnt work, also it only happens while playing the actual game in roblox, not in studio

and it fixed when i build a new rig and pasted the script inside of it instead of duplicating em, weird

hrp is off torso n head is on

alright i tested another thing, when i remove the script from the npc n duplicate em and then paste scripts manually it works fine

i think smth like that

nvm it still happens

[verbal salmon]

WHO IS AN UI DESIGNER

[feral solstice]

Lets say someone in roblox mobile is walking while holding a gun, he puts his finger on the target which is gonna trigger the tool activation, when the tool activated its gonna shoot a bullet BUT the mobile user is walking so it will detect his finger on the walking button before the finger that he put on the target, and the gun will shoot wrongly, how can i make it that it ignores any finger put on the walking button?

(Blox fruits uses what i want)
If u use a skill while walking it uses it where ur finger is aiming and not where you're finger that is put on the walking button

[grizzled palm]

my only problem in coding is long term memory, to get in that i need to practise so much even if I understand.

[feral solstice]

Wdym

Ok? What

[abstract dagger]

should look into it

would prolly help bind and unbind the walking action in mobile

idk i never worked with mobile but it's probably there

[timber star]

And what about non-instant magic projectiles? getpartBoundsInBox would be the best option too?

@digital canopy@abstract dagger

[abstract dagger]

huh

tbh i've never worked with projectiles

i've had ideas tho, maybe an attachment/weld/something that travels along a line and you just kinda cast spatial query as it travels

there's definitely a better way to do it but i've never worked with projectiles

[scenic torrent]

anyone have reccomendations on youtubers to learn scripting for someone who has never sctipted

[abstract dagger]

devking is pretty good for beginners

a few of his stuff is a bit outdated but you'll get the gist of it

[lean ocean]

weld???

[timber star]

mr fire course on udemy

[abstract dagger]

yea idk

prolly not welds

definitely not welds

[dapper gulch]

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a motivated scripter to team up with me on a complex but with huge potential project, sadly no upfront payment as there's no budget yet, but you'll get a percentage of the game revenue when it’s launched and if we manage to find investors, even before launch.

Experience isn't a must as long as you're reliable, communicative, and can deliver what’s needed!

[dapper timber]

😬

[somber vault]

best scripter you can hire nowdays, uses chatgpt to code 😭

#1138238905284579449

[limpid crown]

what is a print for? the videos im watching show how to use it but dont explain what its used for and what i does

[abstract dagger]

[somber vault]

print() is used to display messages in the Output/Console window so you can see what's happening in your script.

i use it to know if this and that works good

even tho i barely print

[limpid crown]

So would i have to use it when making a game?

or scripting something basic

[somber vault]

nope. you dont have to

[limpid crown]

oh ok

[somber vault]

however when using variables you need to use their function

like

local myfunction = 10

myfunction()

[somber vault]

executes the function

[somber vault]

tells what the value is

[limpid crown]

oh ok

[lean ocean]

???

[jovial halo]

tween4:Play()```
why this only rotates the primary part, i only anchor the primary part, and everything are welded

hey guys

are there any scripters that like coryxkenshin?

i feel like i'm the only one

😭

[tired violet]

theres a lot of people in the world. ur never the only one in anything

[sonic juniper]

that's obvious its just that i've yet to find them

its like looking for your doppelganger

they exist, but it feels so improbable

yfm?

[tired violet]

yea

[wide sparrow]

what yall thinkin about the movement

[worn ingot]

starscape?

[somber vault]

Does anyone know why my game goes from 120 people to like 5 and does it over and over again it just spikes then goes down and up again

[worn ingot]

if u handle sanity on the client like this any exploiter will be able to completely disable it so if its important for ur game i would move it to the server

[wide sparrow]

nah

[wide sparrow]

ty

[worn ingot]

whats the inspiration it looks really cool

and it looks a lot like starscape to me

[wide sparrow]

the expanse

tv show

[thick mulch]

Can one deobfuscate a code?

[worn ingot]

insee

[worn ingot]

any obfuscated code is deobfuscatable

[thick mulch]

Is there a website for that, or does that require manual deobfuscation?

[worn ingot]

depends on what it was obfuscated with

[thick mulch]

return(function(IIllIllllIIIlIllllI,lIlIIIIllI,lIIIlllIIIIlIllIlIIl)local IlIIIIIlllI=string.char;
    local IllIlllIllIIIlIlIIl=string.sub;
    local IllIllIIlIlI=table.concat;
    local lIIIlIIllIIlIl=math.ldexp;
-- Rest of the code...

Something like this

[thick mulch]

If I have no idea, is it still possible

[worn ingot]

yea u could probably find out

im not too knowledgable on obfuscators that are popular on roblox tho

[digital canopy]

you detect every millisecond or smth like that

[worn ingot]

probably like. ironbrew or luraph

[worn ingot]

unless you wanna spend some time making ur own i recommend a module like fastcast or securecast

[thick mulch]

The file is obfuscated with LZW payload

Ill try these deobfuscators you said

[bronze spoke]

whats the best way to learn lua

[wide sparrow]

amazing show

[thick mulch]

Okay it was obfuscated in Luraph

[limpid crown]

What’s the best beginner video for scripting?

Why does playermodule sometimes make the script infinitely yield? (On the developer console, it never gets to PlayerModule print)

[hollow plover]

Guys do i use profile service? For my simulator

[limpid crown]

should I watch hiatus or brawldev's scripting guide?

[gusty fog]

You should

[hardy pilot]

ts so fire

[honest hill]

is that by using bodyvelocity or alignpos?

[vernal peak]

yo r u ed he js said "why does the prox not show up" he asking a question

[upbeat jungle]

my stupid knife does its old animations even after replacing them what do i do

[somber vault]

anyone use codewars

i need someone to approve a translation

[drifting iron]

wat da hell is a codewar

[drifting iron]

you made sure the clone shows up on a normal part in non-runtime?

[somber vault]

yea

[somber vault]

yes

[drifting iron]

can you make sure there is a proximity prompt in the part while in run-time, do it by finding it in the explorer

[somber vault]

i translated a problem to lua and i need someone to approve it

i cant approve my own translation

[stable urchin]

I think that the background looks too empty, and the star is too dark for what it is

as for movement of the ships, I think that they move too fast considering their scale

and it'd look great if you added nozzles on the side of the spaceships to sell the idea of rotational thrust

[calm pivot]

does anyone know how i could make a smooth and satisfying odm gear system? please dm me if so

[limpid crown]

Would AI be able to script meaning there isnt a point in learning scripting rn?

[noble granite]

anyone can code a two player obby system, where one player is on the skateboard which is controlling the direction, and one making it move. dm, (payment: robux, I’m poor on PayPal)

[noble granite]

It’s ass at scripting

[limpid crown]

well i feel like it would get better or someone makes a really good ai

idk

[timber shadow]

how would i add the face animation to the starter character?
i can only get it to work on the rig

[merry compass]

[ebon wyvern]

hi

[sonic junco]

why when i press export nothing happens?

[ebon wyvern]

is thedevking tutorial still the best tutorial?

never

his videos are not even tutorials

dont use his videos

watch brawldev instead

[ebon wyvern]

alr i will check em out

[queen cosmos]

is it W? https://twiqet-web.netlify.app/
bot isnt up yet
but i tried to do my best on this website
feel free to comment and give me some feedback please!

[stiff ibex]

Worked more on PurpleConsole

[limpid crown]

What's a good video for scripting basics?

[ashen gate]

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
if message:lower() == "/namekapat" then
local character = player.Character
if character then
local overheadGui = character:FindFirstChild("OverheadGui")
if overheadGui then
local username = overheadGui:FindFirstChild("Username")
if username then
local uiStroke = username:FindFirstChild("UIStroke")
if uiStroke then
uiStroke:Destroy() -- UIStroke'u yok et

Alan becker ahh

[sleek lantern]

Whats the verdict on reuploading dead games

[pulsar acorn]

that is so cool

[summer scarab]

What’s the error?

Your console is showing

[jaunty path]

well depends on the game

[sleek lantern]

my game

[jaunty path]

i mean yeah go for it if its dead you dont have anything to lose

[sleek lantern]

Except the ad money

[jaunty path]

well whats the point of reuploading it then using ad money rather than just using ads on the not reuploaded actual game

[sleek lantern]

stats are fucked on the old one.

[jaunty path]

i dont think youll get any much luck even if you do ads on a reuploaded game that is dead

[hasty spindle]

if if if if if if

trust yourself a little vro

got mad trust issues

[hallow linden]

"Let me get some footage of my RC car to show the server, definitely won't have too much fun with this"

[vestal pumice]

you should change hte cframe of hte block too

[stable urchin]

just my 2 cents

[hallow linden]

y

[round hill]

yo

[wooden glade]

get animate script

rig dont have animation btw

atleast i dont see it

[limpid crown]

Who should I watch to learn the basics of scripting I feel like brawldev doesnt explain a lot.

[round hill]

he explains the complete basics

watch a scripting tutorial on more advanced stuff ig

search up like apprentice scripting playlist

and then move up to advanced

[timid inlet]

qweekertom has some great videos

[vestal pumice]

looks cool

[verbal salmon]

If semeone can do somes script for me for free that doesnt took a day dm me it will be very helpful !

[unreal axle]

beggars can't be choosers

[quartz vortex]

It take about a day for my chat gpt to make a actually working script smh

[odd copper]

Learn and do by yourself 👍

Only way

[unreal axle]

fr

[proud idol]

Let me guess script for simulator game?

[wide sparrow]

railguns and better explosion

[bitter orbit]

anyone knows how to make a hug system?

[molten plinth]

Hug or bug?
Hug would probably require some server-client stuff and an animation

[bitter orbit]

hug

the animation isn't that hard to do

[molten plinth]

As for the script, it’s up to preference; there’s a lot of ways to do it.
I would make the first player fire to server to show request for a hug. Then, a second player can fire to the server to hug, and the server will handle it for both players

I’m describing it very basic, but that’s sorta the framework

[bitter orbit]

Yeah ik that already but thanks for the info brother!

[marble depot]

got a really random question when scripting do you type the whole words or just tab to to fill em out

[junior hemlock]

i do enter to fill em out, typing the whole word is for chads

[marble depot]

also how do you learn / practice scripting

im doing some really easy stuff beginner stuff like kill brick etc i keep following tutorials but cant seem to keep up or either i will loose motivation

[peak jolt]

it will take thousands of hours of conscious effort to become a master, losing motivation after the first few is just silly

[marble depot]

yeah you right i phrased it wrong it just that i cant seem to learn from tutorials and idk what to do so i just get bored

[gleaming summit]

for some reason I see the part but when i test pla I don't see it why is that?

[unreal axle]

you probably turned off can collide and left anchored off as well

[fast bone]

Yo Can somone Help me I bought a game but everything for sale is 1 robuk how can I change that]

Also i dont have any of the things in my inv

[spiral jungle]

You can’t buy stuff in studio

[fast bone]

I got it on clearly dev

[spiral jungle]

What does that even mean

[fast bone]

See I bought this game for 15 bucks on a website used by roblox devs called cleary dev

[spiral jungle]

[fast bone]

and the problem is i dont have the gamepasses in my inv and cannot chane its prices

[spiral jungle]

You have to make new ones under your game

The ones there are probably owned by the people who sold you the game

And then you have to edit the code to use your gamepasses instead of theirs

[fast bone]

Alright ur right

Bro i cant even find where he did the code

[silver drum]

has anyone tried venturing out to programming other than roblox lua? how has that gone?

[plush lichen]

u mean a college degree? lol

[silver drum]

i heard people get stuck to only roblox lua after some time

yeah basically ig, like learning other languages n wut not, like a real life "i work for microsft" type job?

bc of learning roblox?

[plush lichen]

im gonna intern at amazon soon, didn't start with roblox

learning lua these past few days / past week ish

honestly i think i got the hang of it, lua is so easy

[silver drum]

OOOO thats so cool brah im genuinely so happy for you, im trying to learn roblox first before learning other languages, trying to get that programmer mindset before moving on

wut language u learn?

[plush lichen]

well

i know a bit of a few

[silver drum]

-first before moving on

[plush lichen]

i know a bit of python

[silver drum]

OOOO

[plush lichen]

a bit of java

in school i mostly use cpp

most real world projects require u to know javascript

[silver drum]

nice nice ncie, so some of a few on hand i see, very nice

how long did all that take u?

[plush lichen]

idk im lazy so i didn't really try learning it on my own, i just learned when school forced me to learn

[silver drum]

over all regardless, very impressive im happy for u

[plush lichen]

but game dev is pretty fun so i'm like half motivated to try and learn it

[silver drum]

AHAHHAHA WHAT, damn i wish shcool did that to me xD thats cool tho congrats on ur future job :v

oh fair enough thats understandable, im trying to learn n make games bc its true what they say ab roblox "infinite games but no games"

[plush lichen]

if you're trying to learn how to code, then honestly yea i'd recommend roblox game dev cause a lot of it is basic OOP

and that's what's gonna set u up for future jobs a lot of the time

just thinking in small parts

[silver drum]

yes exactly, im j scared of not realizing that im stuck on the roblox world and cant do anything outside of it yk. whats OOP tho in this context?

[plush lichen]

and a lot of it correlates to how projects are made outside of roblox

[silver drum]

im not very word savy yet on all this lingo

[plush lichen]

object oriented programming, like classes, or in this case modulescripts

reusing code blah blah blah encapsulation

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/introduction-of-object-oriented-programming/

roblox really teaches u this well

[silver drum]

oh yes yes, after some time its j simple copy n paste from ur own stuff into other games w j a few modifications

[plush lichen]

and oh right, don't follow tutorials

and if u do, try to actually understand what people are writing or why they're doing things a certain why and see if it can be improved somehow

[silver drum]

yes, i have tried learning to code for the last several years tbh n every time i do i get stuck in tutorial hell n give up after a few weeks

[plush lichen]

i mean, i think you see the problem

just stop doing tutorials and go make something from scratch

and if you say "that's too hard, i don't understand how to start" and just give up after thinking that then maybe programming isn't really for you

[silver drum]

i appreciate the advice and the pictures, they are actually helpful especially that orange text boxes thing, because its somethjing that i struggle with when it comes to defining and making my thing yk

[silver drum]

true true, its a mindset that one has to get rid of if they want to start learning, im still trying to do so so i appreciate it

[wide sparrow]

bigger explosions and railgun firing visuals/ hit damage visuals improved

any thoughts on what i should improve for the damage impact visuals? i dont want it to be over the top explosions but needs to be visible yknow

[plush lichen]

explosions would indicate actual damage being done such as parts / debris coming off wouldn't it

[spare reef]

Would any mid scripter like to join my dev team and help make a game like grow a garden.

[wide sparrow]

my major problem is that in the expanse and real life, railgun slugs just go super fast and pierce straight through. now since its a roblxo game i cant rlly do that cause it wouldn't look cool, but i need something else that seems at least decently indicative

like right now i have a flash of orange on impact

[somber helm]

Dude this is really good, keep up the good work 🔥

[wide sparrow]

ty

[somber helm]

Maybe some more realism?

Or are you trying to do something else

[wide sparrow]

wdym

well yeah im trying to strike a balance between realistic and fun/cool

[somber helm]

Like it just feels too symmetrical

Everything seems to be going in a certain order rather than randomized events

[wide sparrow]

you mean like weapons all firing at the same time?

[mortal elm]

quick question, how do i make a part that spawns randomly? just like a horror game that is looking for a key (example). so that, the key place is randomized in somewhere. i really need this, please let me know :)

[wide sparrow]

well or more like mostly random time

[somber helm]

Yes

[wide sparrow]

yeah thats because they all get spawned in at the same time

[somber helm]

Also maybe bigger explosions( but that might be vfx)

Like more realistic ones

[somber helm]

Ah

[wide sparrow]

then as stuff slows down, ships move into positions where their weapons won't be able to target and slowly it becomes random

when players get ships, they'll obviously target at random times so it won't look bad at all, but for AI i'll have some math.random in there for "ai reaction time"

[wide sparrow]

wdym

i feel the explosions are rlly big rn

[somber helm]

Hm i dont seem to see much

Also one more cool suggestion

[wide sparrow]

because of how im zooming the cam in the video it seems small but this size is:

[somber helm]

Maybe when there's a explosion you can make the screen shake

[wide sparrow]

yes

yes will be doing that because those r super cool

[somber helm]

Yes adds realism and maybe

Make a cam goujg through an explosion

And then like there's a fiery effect on the screen

[wide sparrow]

as well as depending on close to railgun, railgun shots also will also shake screen a bit

[somber helm]

I don't know if that's a bit difficult tho

[wide sparrow]

wdym

[somber helm]

So like you go through the explosion like make it really big

And then you get like ash visuals or something on screen or something

Idk

[wide sparrow]

hm

[timber shadow]

for some reason when i added to other tc on a seperate studio it worked

[verbal salmon]

Not simulator but basically ye

[hoary cedar]

Lol

[ivory bronze]

can someone give me an idea to code someting? (not too complex)

[nocturne bobcat]

gun

[ivory bronze]

already made that

[hoary cedar]

What's the most complex thing you've made?

[clear mural]

same for me but simple ones

[hoary cedar]

Twitter codes

[ivory bronze]

sword combat system with block

[hoary cedar]

Try spell-casting

[ivory bronze]

idk what that is

ohh

mb i get it

[edgy ferry]

Making a 'grow a garden' type of game, but the plot wont assign to the player. Its supposed to add a value to the plot and say the user on the GUI but it doesnt work.

[hardy pilot]

That sucks

[edgy ferry]

What sucks, the script or the fact that it doesn work?

[hardy pilot]

The fact it doesnt work

[hardy pilot]

I see youre requiring prior to connecting, you might be connecting after the player joined

Also no reason to contain the character added function in another function

Also if you sent both bits of code, did you print to find out which one's broken?

Because youre either not calling it or the method doesnt work

[somber vault]

if any one wants a builder i can help

[edgy ferry]

hm

[raven sonnet]

There's much easier method

[edgy ferry]

Ye, i was bouta say that im just gonna try another script instead of this one

[raven sonnet]

Just make folder with plots on each of them add attribute with owner string and just make it check what plot dosent have owner

[edgy ferry]

Can you explain that to me, since im pretty new to scripting.

[raven sonnet]

Make a folder in workspace called plots in that folder add another folder called plot1 or something else in that folder u just created add attribute with name Owner Type string

Next make server script that when player joins it checks the plots for empty owner attribute

When it finds 1 it sets that attribute to the player name

And when player leaves it finds the attribute with that player names and it sets it to ""

U can add that it sets the sign next to that plot to the player name

[edgy ferry]

Alright, thank you!

[raven sonnet]

Np if u need smth just ping me

[edgy ferry]

Which of these 2 is the value?

[chilly canyon]

Second

[raven sonnet]

The 1 on the right

Just leave it empty

The "" I ment in setattribute

[edgy ferry]

Oh, alright

[chilly canyon]

The first Owner is the name of that Attribute and the second is the value

[raven sonnet]

In script

[raven sonnet]

Yup

[edgy ferry]

Alright, and now i have to make a script for it?

to work

[raven sonnet]

Ofc

[edgy ferry]

Make sense

[raven sonnet]

Haha

[edgy ferry]

And the previous script that i used wont work?

[raven sonnet]

Nope

[chilly canyon]

Hhaa

Haha

[raven sonnet]

U can copy what I said above and paste that to chat gpt look how he made it and based on that make you're own script

Or watch tutorials

[edgy ferry]

Alright, thank you

[regal geyser]

Any Asian here who can help my game? Just a quick combat test. ( I am Asian so i need fellow w same ping as me 🙂 )

[hardy pilot]

Any 6'3" 6 figures paycheck men who can help playtest?

:<

[charred night]

ye

[shell heart]

Yes

Im here

In like 72 hours

[sinful niche]

Kquit now

[abstract dagger]

your character's lefthand should have folders called "R6" and "R15ArtistIntent"

idk just read the error

it just says it

[restive ermine]

yo anyone on?

[jaunty path]

Does this look like r6 to you

[tardy pasture]

smh why do testers expect pay ?

[rare basin]

Uh cuz they spent their time for you?

[lofty plinth]

depends on the tester ngl

if they wanna do it out of fun then its eh

[tardy pasture]

if it says voluntary in the ad ? and they still apply

[lofty plinth]

but if its not out of enjoyment but instead to find bugs and write detailed reports kinda makes sense 2 pay em

[rare basin]

I usually just get a couple of friends or acquaintances that would be interested to help with that
i feel like getting testers is too much hassle

[lofty plinth]

it really is most of the time

[tardy pasture]

they should be honored they are the first one to play my game !!!

[hardy pilot]

They usually are

People go bananas over exclusivity

[polar furnace]

Somebody give me a scripting task to do in studio

[buoyant junco]

@pearl inlet

[pearl inlet]

so uh

does for example minecraft

look like perlin noise

[buoyant junco]

mhmhm

[pearl inlet]

it has some perlin noise "features"

[pseudo egret]

i have find the problem ty

[pearl inlet]

but it has some irregularities

so pretty much combining perlin noises allows you to make those irregularities

[buoyant junco]

yes i do that?

[pearl inlet]

well you can

[buoyant junco]

is there like a problem with my perlin noises?

[pearl inlet]

but there is one more problem

with perlin noise

in general

it's hard to make it random

[buoyant junco]

what do you mean?

[pearl inlet]

cuz if you make a math.noise(1mil,1,mil)

[buoyant junco]

perlin noises is a controlled random isnt it.

[pearl inlet]

it will look flat

as perlin noise gets more regular

the further it gets

(the roblox one)

[buoyant junco]

yeah?

it return only

-1-1, but u can scale it though

sorry but what do u want to say, i dont really understand why you explaining all of this.

[slow quest]

if u cant script in 2025 its over ngl

like who cant do lua 🤣

[jolly vessel]

Perlin noise is supposed to be not random

[pearl inlet]

well kinda

[slow quest]

what does if mean in scripts someone help 😭

[jolly vessel]

You can manipulate it to be somewhat a bit random, but in general it isn't

[pearl inlet]

unless you make a custom perlin noise

[rare basin]

if something then
dosomething

[slow quest]

what doed this mean

[jolly vessel]

If is a function trust

It's used to print something in the console

if("hello world")

[rare basin]

basically if works like english in a way
if (condition) then
--enter here what you want it to do

[slow quest]

oh, so i can print like papers in studio?

[rare basin]

no, he is prob trolling

[slow quest]

oh, and im not trolling

[regal geyser]

it's how people used to be i guess

[jolly vessel]

Yes

[regal geyser]

like during 2016 era i used to do the same but it was quite a long time ago

[pearl inlet]

Btw here's a really good coding tip:
In every script do this for better performance:

do
  -- make/paste your code here    
end

[rare basin]

You'd be suprised at the amount of people that ask questions like that, at this point it isnt trolling at all

[slow quest]

ive just started rn

IK what apis are like the stuff that runs the code is what it is, so i can make scripts

[abstract dagger]

[white seal]

If u can't build and steal building in 2025 just give up deving bro

[foggy thistle]

Fr bro

[slow quest]

ok

help fix this pls

do
if parent.enum
then add
+1 walkspeed every step
when every step
if walkspeed 16 then walkspeed 0
then
add parent.child remove walkspeed.99
add 0 to walkspeed 99
or +1

(end
(end

                (end

[foggy thistle]

Naww

Bro is coo ked

[verbal salmon]

Who can script for me for free

Fr fr

Who

Like its à trash smiluator every time u jump u get older

[proud idol]

Please put it in block code format broski

[proud idol]

Lame idea

[pearl inlet]

```lua
-- code here
```

[sudden estuary]

no one fr fr 🔥

[honest hill]

whats the purpose of do

[pearl inlet]

exactly

it won't do anything in that formation

but

if you do

[tacit tendon]

for i, v in pairs(self.ActivePlayers) do
        if team1 == false then
            v.Team = self.RedTeam
            team1 = true
        elseif team1 == true then
            v.Team = self.BlueTeam
            team1 = false
        end
        
        local SelectedSpawn = Spawns:FindFirstChild("SpawnPoint".. math.random(1, 4)) 
        
        task.defer(function()
            v.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = SelectedSpawn.CFrame
        end)
    
        
        PlayerLoader.Load(v)
        
        self.TeamsUi = game.ReplicatedStorage.Assets.UI.TeamsUI:Clone()
        self.TeamsUi.Parent = v.PlayerGui
        self.TeamsUi.Enabled = true
        
        task.spawn(function()
            v.Character:GetAttributeChangedSignal("Eliminated"):Connect(function()
                -- here
            end)
        end)
    end

Is this a fine way to manager my team system? Where I just listen to an attribute to increase either Blue or Red teams score

[pearl inlet]

local hello = "Hello"

do
  local name = "John"
  print(name) -- It will print John
end

print(hello,name) -- It will print Hello, nil (as do end is a different block of code)

but if something is above it

[honest hill]

so its like running a script inside a script

[pearl inlet]

like the hello var

it can still use it

[honest hill]

but not change it?

thats like a function running immediately instead of waiting to be called

[pearl inlet]

basically it is just a

local function a()

end
a()

[honest hill]

o ye

[proud idol]

do end creates a scope

But in my experience it doesnt have any practical uses

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[arctic badge]

how do I add a luck boost

[weak radish]

Nice and fresh from the forums, replace 0.25 with 0.25*multiplier

If the multiplier is 2 it will be 2x as likely to land on special

[arctic badge]

Alright

[weak radish]

You'll probably want to send multiplier parameters to the function

[arctic badge]

my plan is to multiply the final luck so the ranNum value will be 10% lower so i have higher chances to get rarer stuff. It's a luck boost for "everything" but not really ykwim

[arctic badge]

No since the luck is a value in a folder in the player. Js need to locate it in replicated storage, and i cant use serverstorage since its a local script

[slow quest]

can you guys help me my code wont run here it is

do
if.enun.part= "kill brick"
then
reset to part.variable.spawn, keep health - (this is for keeping the health)
add "death counter"
make 1
create.text
text.variable.is: "oh no"
text.variable.is: "u died"
text.variable.is: "too bad"
(end
(end

how do i insert the player into VFXOwners table

[eager geode]

table.insert(VFXOwners, Player.UserId)

[verbal salmon]

Bro people here will never script 10 mins for free

[proud idol]

why would we

[verbal salmon]

Cause its take like a little bit of ur time

[verbal salmon]

BRO NEED TO PAY 2 BILLIONS ROBUX FOR 10 MINS OF SCRIPT

[rare basin]

Say there's a plumping problem, something easy that you need a little bit of knowledge and could do it yourself if you learn but you could also call a plumber if you want and it takes 10 mins to fix

Would the plumber do it for free?

[proud idol]

no one owes you anything

• you are demanding people to script for you for free on what is most likely a slop simulator game

[static coral]

then do it yourself

[weak radish]

What are you talking about

Do you know how weighting works?

[sudden estuary]

yes

[weak radish]

Okay so why wouldn't it work

[sudden estuary]

default is .75,.25 multipy each by say 2 u get 1.5,.5 , the probability remains the same you just doubled the sample space along with chance

[weak radish]

I did not say multiply both

[sudden estuary]

then its not "2x luck"

[weak radish]

I take it you didn't read this

Bro

[sudden estuary]

its just a illusion

[weak radish]

BRI

[sudden estuary]

prove me wrong

it alters the chance, but its not 2x luck, hence its false

now lets say u have more than 2 items, how wouldu decide what to multiply with the factor

[proud idol]

its def more math than jsut multiplying the chances

it really depends on how the rarity system is setup

[weak radish]

Weighting

[sudden estuary]

exactly what i am saying

[ivory kite]

You're only doing a two team system, right?

[weak radish]

Obviously it's not going to be exactly 2x, all popular rng games lie

And that question was stupid

[proud idol]

youd have to increase the odds of the rare items by a factors, while reducing the odds of the common ones by the amount of chance the rare items increased

[ivory kite]

Use a weighted chance system and multiply the weight of the "rare" items by two when you have a double modifier

[sudden estuary]

easier said than done when you have a large pool of items

[light pollen]

HEY

[weak radish]

No it's not

[sudden estuary]

works for sure tho

[ivory kite]

How are you storing the information of your items

[sudden estuary]

im not building this anything , im just commentig on how multiplying by an arbitrary factor does nothing much

[sudden estuary]

no its not what?

[light pollen]

local Njerez = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local message = "Për atdhenë! Ndero Shqipërinë!"

game:GetService("Chat"):Chat(patriot.Character.Head, message, Enum.ChatColor.Red)
wait(2)
game:GetService("Chat"):Chat(patriot.Character.Head, "Gjithmonë do të jemi të fortë! Shqipëri, lindje e shpresës!", Enum.ChatColor.Red)

``` why doesnt work

[weak radish]

It's not as hard as you're describing it

[sudden estuary]

it is

[proud idol]

it does increase the chances of the rare items, but u also gotta compensate by reducing the odds of the non rare tiers

[weak radish]

Bro

[proud idol]

otherwise ull be out of the range of the 0-100% chance

[sudden estuary]

yes , and doing that manually isn't the ideal way

[weak radish]

you have a dictionary with each rarity as a sub table, if it's a member of "rare" multiply weight by multiplier

[sudden estuary]

wouldn't worry much about the range tbh

determing what to increase and what to decrease is problematic

[proud idol]

depends on how the selection system is set up lol

[sudden estuary]

fair

[weak radish]

It's weighted

If it exceeds 100 that doesn't matter

[proud idol]

which judging by him goign with double instead of integers

it def matters

[sudden estuary]

show it done with a pool of items like pet sim

[sudden estuary]

you can always convert the sample space to 0-100

[ivory kite]

I can show you how I did my weighted system for my procedurally generated tile system, it shouldn't matter the size of the array

[weak radish]

If the sum of rarities exceeds 100/1 that doesn't matter

In a weighted system

[ivory kite]

function module.ChooseWeighted<K, V>(tbl: { [K]: V }, chanceMapper: ((V) -> number)?, random : Random?): (V, K)
    if typeof(random) ~= "Random" then 
        random = Random.new() 
    end
    
    local totalWeight = 0
    local first : V, key : K

    -- Get weights
    local weights = {} :: { [K]: number } -- reverse lookup for choosing alg, dont bother running chanceMapper in both loops
    for k, element in tbl do
        if not first then
            first = element
            key = k
        end
        local weight = if typeof(chanceMapper) == "function" then chanceMapper(element) elseif typeof(element) == "table" then (tonumber(element.Weight) or 0) else 1
        weights[k] = weight :: number
        totalWeight += weight :: number
    end

    -- Choose from weight
    local index = random:NextNumber(0, totalWeight)
    totalWeight = 0
    for k, element in tbl do
        totalWeight += weights[k]

        if totalWeight >= index then
            return element, k
        end
    end

    return first, key
end

Now obviously there's a lot of better ways of going about this but this has worked extremely well for me and I'm running this roughly 500 times a second

You can pass a specified function to give elements specified rarities

So you could use it like

local ItemPool = {}
local Item = module.ChooseWeighted(ItemPool, function(element)
    local Weight = element.Weight or 0
    if element.Rare then Weight *= 2 end
    return Weight
end

In my case (because I have some special tiles) that sometimes appear I have it set like this:

    return General.table.ChooseWeighted(CachedData, function(element)
        local maxAmt = tonumber(element.MaxAmount) or 0
        local curAmt = tonumber(existingTiles[element.ModuleScript]) or 0
            if (maxAmt > 0 and curAmt >= maxAmt) or table.find(BadTiles, element.ModuleScript) then
                return 0
            else
                return tonumber(element.Weight) or 1
            end
        end, SRand:GetRandom(Seed))

[weak radish]

Pool = {[1] = {Common = 0.25,ReallyCommon = 0.5},[2] = {Rare = 0.15,ReallyRare = 0.1}}
function GetRandPrize()
    
    local Multiplier = 0
    local Weight = 0
    
    
    for ChanceType,RollTable in Pool do
        if ChanceType >= 2 then
            Multiplier = 2
        else
            Multiplier = 1
        end
        for Roll,Chance in RollTable do
            Weight += Chance*Multiplier
        end
    end

    local RandNumber = math.random(1,Weight*100)
    Weight = 0

    for ChanceType,RollTable in Pool do
        if ChanceType >= 2 then
            Multiplier = 2
        else
            Multiplier = 1
        end
        for Roll,Chance in RollTable do
            Weight += Chance*Multiplier

            if Weight*100 >= RandNumber then

                return Roll
            end
        end
    end
end
print(GetRandPrize())```

Im trying to make a game called click for letters, basically u click and u get enough letters to type a sentence

[weak radish]

what kind of script is it

[zealous path]

import random
import string

chars = " " + string.punctuation + string.digits + string.ascii_letters
chars = list(chars)
key = chars.copy()

random.shuffle(key)

plain_text = input("Enter a message to encrypt: ")
cipher_text = ""

for letter in plain_text:
index = chars.index(letter)
cipher_text += key[index]

print(f"original message : {plain_text}")
print(f"encrypted message: {cipher_text}")

cipher_text = input("Enter a message to encrypt: ")
plain_text = ""

for letter in cipher_text:
index = key.index(letter)
plain_text += chars[index]

print(f"encrypted message: {cipher_text}")
print(f"original message : {plain_text}")

[weak radish]

what does this mean 🙏

You don't need to spawn a thread for the attribute changed signal, connected functions run in their own thread
I don't know how else you're accounting for players you add later but you should most certainly put this whole loop in a separate function to clean it up

[proud idol]

ur trying to run a function from a boolean

which yk, those dont have that cause they are booleans

local boolean = true
boolean:Destroy() --> this erros

[bitter siren]

can you help me fix it

[proud idol]

youd have to show me ur code

[bitter siren]

discord not letting me send code

[ivory kite]

Booleans aren't instances or tables with Destroy methods

[proud idol]

screenshot then

[bitter siren]

script is too big

[ivory kite]

Send line 40 of your Config code

[proud idol]

dotn share the full script, just the segment where its erroring

[bitter siren]

--[[

-- Settings
local preventToolUsage = true -- Set this to false to allow players to equip tools inside the GZ.
local fadeDuration = 0.7 -- Duration of icon fade effect.
local forcefieldStatus = false -- False for invisible forcefield, set to true to make the forcefield visible.

-- Main code, be cautious!
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local part = script.Parent
local playersInPart = {}

local function tweenTransparency(imageLabel, startTransparency, endTransparency)
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(fadeDuration, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
local tween = TweenService:Create(imageLabel, tweenInfo, { ImageTransparency = endTransparency })
tween:Play()
end

local function onPlayerLeave(player)

local forcefield = playersInPart[player.Name]
if forcefield then
    forcefield:Destroy()
end

its supposed to be a safezone script

[ivory kite]

Can you put the code in a code block? It's easier to read in syntax highlighted blocks
```lua

```

[ivory kite]

Okay I see your issue

playersInPart[player.Name] is being set to a boolean

[proud idol]

judging by the output window, this is the one that errors out

local function onPlayerLeave(player)

    local forcefield = playersInPart[player.Name]
    if forcefield then
        forcefield:Destroy()
    end

[bitter siren]

yes

[ivory kite]

Where are you setting playersInPart?

[proud idol]

Im gonna assume this fucntion is hooked up with a touchended event

is this right?

[bitter siren]

i have no idea i bought this game had so many bugs had to remove lot of guis bc game was hella laggy after you reset characther

[bitter siren]

yes

[ivory kite]

Ctrl f playersInPart

[bitter siren]

this?

[proud idol]

okay heres the issue, the Player variable is not really the player, is the part that has finished touching

[ivory kite]

There's another instance of that key being set, keep going

[proud idol]

youd have to do this

[bitter siren]

can i pay you to fix it 🙏

[proud idol]

local function onPlayerLeave(Hit : Part)

    local forcefield = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("ForceField")
    if forcefield then
        forcefield:Destroy()
    end

[ivory kite]

That doesn't sort out the playersInPart being set

[proud idol]

the error is in forcefield:Destroy()
