Why u have AI commenting on ur code?

[static coral]

when the server changes the value objects’ properties, it will be replicated to client so you can just use :GetPropertyChangedSignal. only use remotes if u r not using valuebase objects and you need to replicate data to player

[wise meadow]

sounds like u using AI to code

[cerulean perch]

Bro I tried to comment it myself but kept getting rejected

[wise meadow]

Lemme see ur code

Ill tell u why trust

[cerulean perch]

Why what

[wise meadow]

Cause, I guarantee your using AI to code

🤓☝🏻

Otherwise you wouldn't need AI comments

you'd just comment urself the understanding of the code so that the bozos that look at the applications think ur a coder

[cerulean perch]

Dude...

I don't need to prove to anyone anything
I know my self

They just so strict about their requirements

[static coral]

just learn to code

[cerulean perch]

...

[wise meadow]

if you knew how to code, it wouldnt be a problem trust

☝🏻🤓

(they rejected my application btw, but thats cause i didnt put any comments explaining my code, lmao i just comment in my code as a way of organization)

[cerulean perch]

I will try to rephrase the ai comments and use these ai detectors to make sure

[wise meadow]

lmao

🤣

[ember nimbus]

how about just write the comments bro

if you understand your code it can't be that hard

[wise meadow]

fr tho

-- This prints hello in my console

(thats his only understanding of his code)

[weak radish]

And the best don't comment at all

[cerulean perch]

Bro I did try but they want more more details

[ember nimbus]

write more details

[wise meadow]

i only comment for organization stuff

[cerulean perch]

Bro I almost wrote a comment every 2-5 lines

[wise meadow]

or for commissions so the person getting my code has some sort of understanding whats safe to edit and whats not

[ember nimbus]

write better comments

[cerulean perch]

Will try again

[ember nimbus]

-- does 1 + 1 is not a good comment for the line 1 + 1

[weak radish]

I do --Constants and --Variables or --[Parameters for a function] sometimes but it depends how I'm feeling

[weak radish]

He probably doesn't know the answer

you should see the errors in the output

what is in line 27?

[vocal tusk]

are animations globally activable only via server? and is it laggy?

[bleak glade]

you can activate animations on the client and it will replicate

[zenith night]

it would be cool to have a competition on who can make the most complicated way of printing hello world

[proud idol]

i think ur issue is at the www.roblox.com/games/86727184540042/Better-HomePage

[somber vault]

yeah i can see ts went bankrupt

[proud idol]

no

lmao copy and paste

the table.remove(list,list[x*)

table.remove parameters is the array where u gonna delete a value, and the position of the value to remove

so you'd have to do

table.remove(list,x)

@somber vault

its why ur script is timing out bc how u have it atm its not actually deleting anything off the list

[proud idol]

broski thats quite litterally the worst idea for a game and i could recreate it in 20 minutes

[rapid gyro]

yo

anyone wanna see my webswinging in studio

i mostly script so dont focus on animation

[mortal sail]

WHY IS THERE NO PASS THE BOMB MODEL ANYWHERE?!?!!?1

[wise meadow]

its grok not me 😭

[ivory temple]

i don't know if you're blind or not but the problem was that his script was yielding for a loop; he can fix everything else himself as he did not ask for it

"holy shit this server" yup, ur right buddy! 🤣

[normal sinew]

can yall give me a plugin idea?

[ivory temple]

#code-help

[rough oasis]

Um so, I'm new to scripting. Any ideas on some small projects I could potentially make as a beginner?

[summer scarab]

Think of a plugin you would like to use to make things easier.

[serene terrace]

Depends on how new you are.
If you just started, instead of thinking a whole project work on a system.
It doesn't have to be big, but you could work on something like changing a parts color when you click on it
Get an idea in your head that you think is actually achievable and go for it.
All depends on your skill level.

[normal sinew]

yeah ik but what lol

[rough oasis]

I'm really new so I'll start by creating basic system, thank you so much 😌

[lethal smelt]

is there any significant performance difference between remote functions and remote events anyone know?

[serene terrace]

Remote events can be sent in high frequency, while remote functions are more costly.
But they are used for different things so use whatever you think best suits the case you're dealing with.

Remote functions return a value
Remote Events is more fire and forget

[lethal smelt]

ok bet ya just wanted to know if its worth implementing both types

working on a custom inv system

thank you

[serene terrace]

( if you need a example )
A example for remote functions would be getting the players data from the server to replicate on the client

[lethal smelt]

yeah makes a lot more sense taking that into consideration lmao

need to use rfs for block placement, client creates a mock and the rf returns true or false based on if the server validated the block

[mental pond]

I understand the basics of coding and what most things. I want to try to make a small game project to understand game making and such, but I dont know really how. I kinda dont know what to make and when I hit a roadblock I dont really know how to fix it. What is something that is small and easy to create in order to understand scripting and game making more

[proud idol]

you my friend need to learn how to design game systems 👍

you may know the basics but if you don't know how to apply the concepts then theres not much use

luckily its not that hard to learn

[mental pond]

Do you know any resources that can help teach it

I would like to start small since I dont want to jump into complex stuff without understanding game design

[proud idol]

unfortunatly, this si the part where resources start to become scarce

because designing systems like that can be done in multiple ways

but i can provide with some examples

[mental pond]

Yea id apprecaite it

[proud idol]

Lets start with something easy, suppose your game is an obby, and you want have a brick that when the player touches it, they get respawned to the start, how would you do that?

[mental pond]

Assuming your talking about a kill brick you create a brick that checks if the part that touched it belongs to a humanoid and if it does then kill it which will eventually respawn them back to the start. Or if im not wrong you can also use a collection service to get all kill bricks under a tag and make it fire a script when they are touched

that last part might be a little iffy

[serene terrace]

How comfortable are you with tables

[proud idol]

you could also get the player instance and use :LoadCharacter()

[frail yarrow]

shut your fucking mouth

[proud idol]

Now what if you want to add kill bricks that you create in game?

[frail yarrow]

it wasnt even yielding

the issue was that it wasnt

[mental pond]

somewhat confortable. I get how to use them but probably need more exposure to them to perfect it

[frail yarrow]

but you wouldnt know the difference

[serene terrace]

Are you good with modules aswell?

[mental pond]

I understand them for the most part, but once again just need more exposure to it

[proud idol]

the issue with that script was that the condition to close the loop was when the list was empty, but the way the dude wrote the table.remove was wrong and thus the loop would infinitely run without yields, timing it out

[serene terrace]

Okay then here's a challenge you can do that you can apply to most games.
Make a module that returns a function with a parameter called button
Using the tween service and user input service make it so that when the button is entered, left, inputbegan and inputended
Do a tween, and then if the button is destroyed clean the button up

basically a tweening button module

[ivory temple]

i think ur braindead

[frail yarrow]

dude i just gave him code that doesnt work

[ivory temple]

one google search is all it takes to prove u wrong

[frail yarrow]

do you know what yielding is

[mental pond]

I mean I can either plop them into the game or put them in server storage and clone it when I need to and parent it to the workspace

and also state its position in the workspace

[frail yarrow]

you don't know what yielding is

simple as

[mental pond]

alright ill give it a try

[ivory temple]

search it up rn

[frail yarrow]

define it

[ivory temple]

i JUST searched it up and the first answer that came up was a devforum post explaining exactly what ive said

[frail yarrow]

i understand what yielding means

you clearly dont

[ivory temple]

i will send you a link in dms

[frail yarrow]

while true do end
``` will never yield

[proud idol]

I understand, however this is not agood example to showcase yielding

[serene terrace]

dm me and let me know when you're finished, I can review your code if would like

[umbral carbon]

What about infinite yield?

It’s so popular

I kind of want to like dig into it

[proud idol]

repeat
        for i, v in temporaryInv do
            if v:GetAttribute("Price") == list[x] then
                --[...]--
                
                table.remove(list, list[x])-- this doesn't actually clear values inside the array
                table.remove(temporaryInv, table.find(temporaryInv, v))

                x += 1
            end
        end
    until #list == 0 -- Loop ends until array is empty

the loop is infinite because the condition is never met

[umbral carbon]

Guys stop calling them arrays it’s driving me insane

[proud idol]

well table library is for only tables that have sequential positions (aka arrays)

[umbral carbon]

Well, does LUA call them arrays anywhere?

[frail yarrow]

its Lua

not LUA

[umbral carbon]

Ok

[frail yarrow]

and Luau does call them arrays

[umbral carbon]

I guess it’s time to stop calling it LUA

[umbral carbon]

Where?

[frail yarrow]

in a technical sense

arrays are encoded as {T} in the type system

[umbral carbon]

Ah this is stupid

I hate LuaU

[peak jolt]

yeah right here https://www.lua.org/pil/11.1.html

[umbral carbon]

Alright whatever, call them “structs” next

[peak jolt]

usually that name refers to the exact opposite of reference types

[proud idol]

why do u hate people calling the equivalent of arrays, well arrays?

if something stores multiple values using sequential integers to organize em

im just gonna call it an array lol

[karmic magnet]

althought ipairs / pairs is technically deprecated, would it still be better to continue using it? considering its essentially giving you extra information about what type of data structure you are iterating on, i'd imagine its better practice to include

[frail yarrow]

no

that info should be represented by the variable's type

I'm getting an error on this part of my custom chat script. It used to work just fine but it might've been an update Roblox did that made it stop working today. I've attached an image of the error, can someone help me out please?

[frail yarrow]

firstly stop using _G

secondly GetChatForUserAsync is deprecated

and will return an empty string henceforth

you need to use TextChatService to process messages

[vital mural]

the entire game is scripted for it 😭

[vital mural]

I don't think it's being used anywhere in the script

Here's the full script for your review

[somber vault]

lua/luau doesnt even have "arrays" as a concept

theyre all tables, whether their hash portion is 0-length or their array portion is

[copper apex]

I like lua's tables they can be dictionaries arrays, etc etc

Only thing i am not used to is that their indices start at 1

😭

[copper apex]

Why

[vital mural]

I'm not sure, but I guess it might be because everything in the tech is reliant on each other.

[copper apex]

But module scripts.

I mean i guess it depends on the use case

I have tried making a framework using it but it was just worthless atleast for me

Just ruins intellisense and debugging was a little harder

[vital mural]

Yeah, I'm not really sure why he did it that way...

Now the entire tech is very... breakable.

[copper apex]

Yeah its less secure compared to modules

But it depends on how theyre using it

[pure shale]

twitch

[vital mural]

mhm

[vital mural]

yes 100%

[vital mural]

can someone please review this and lmk how to fix the issue 😭

[ocean geyser]

Hi

[vital mural]

my game launch is tomorrow if I don't get it fixed I'll have to delay

[ocean geyser]

For what game?

[vital mural]

roblox rolling out the stupidests updates at the most important times

[vital mural]

It's an Ancient Roman Roleplay game

[ocean geyser]

nice

[light condor]

me personally I believe indices starting at 1 is actually really good, because unlike other programming languages you don't have to subtract the length of the table to loop through an array, and also it's easier for for loops in my opinion

[copper apex]

It is very convenient i am just used to 0 indexed arrays cuz i mainly code in java

[light condor]

I started learning python & javascript. and while it was confusing at the start it was easy to get used to, so I guess it's just whichever you're used to

I feel like this is easy cant think of it atm

[mint cloud]

An opposite force doesn’t stop movement it stops acceleration

[somber vault]

if anyone want this theme lmk

[rose timber]

I put the tonumber() on an actual number and not on the variable (useOption)

[vital parrot]

https://gyazo.com/33374530ed9435a18ff93d3ce27d15d4

at the end you can see the guy floats all the way up

that's because I had a running start

I have a vector force to reduce the fall

but the force of the jump is added which makes them float upwards

[mint cloud]

So you have a downward force other than gravity?

[vital parrot]

Yeah

I dont want to change the gravity

I want them to stick to walls

[mint cloud]

Oh

[vital parrot]

the vector force is fine

I just want to stop them from moving because the jump is pushing them all the way up

[mint cloud]

Uh

player.AssemblyLinearVelocity = 0 should stop them

[vital parrot]

oh ok ill check it out

[mint cloud]

Mb it’s a vector3

Bro how do i get rid of this?

[vital mural]

Wait but isn't the script I sent just an addition onto textchatservice with custom UI

[vital mural]

@frail yarrow Thank you for your help. It seems I have diagnosed the issue. I'll have to completely get rid of my custom chat system which we worked so hard on. It covered custom admin commands, custom player commands, custom emoji handling, custom notifications, and so much more.

Roblox has literally shoved this update down our throats without any alternatives to fix the issue.

Post on Dev Forum:

GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync literally has “NonChat” in its name this isn’t meant to be used for custom chat systems.

After looking further I did find a “tutorial” about this

but for all things holy, why is it so over complicated? A single function allowing for text filtering between two users would be literally all you need. If I have a global chat system on the server using .chatted for example, I now have to go research like 8 different instances and functions just to have the same functionality.

Literally trying to convert it as I’m typing this and it feels like the 12 labors of Hercules just to understand basic functionality, it’s been like 30 minutes and I’m only now getting the server to pick up on a single message using the new systems. Furthermore it’s such a pain to work with that if I want my current code to work well with the new system I have to scrap large portions of it. It might be easier to just plug into GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync regardless.

TL;DR if I’m getting this right, not a bug but just intentionally made harder to use for the gain of “parental control and community standards”, with the only alternatives for custom chat requiring excessive work for re-implementation.

EDIT; After looking at some other posts as well, I think it’s meant to replace basic chat but the functionality required to replace higher end systems such as custom chats isn’t really easily there, especially getting that info on the server, unless I’m forced to I really see no point in attempting to completely convert to TextChatService when it has so many more downsides in terms of converting older systems that just using GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync can do 100x easier.

[placid matrix]

just let it go brochacho its over

[vital mural]

I'm very disappointed in Roblox for not giving any alternatives or warnings before such a MASSIVE change

[placid matrix]

wym I got the warning like 2 months ago about that service

[vital mural]

It's literally DESTROYED all custom chat systems. In games like mine the custom chat system is INTEGRAL to the game, without it the game is completely broken

[vital mural]

Yes the warning was about TextCharService moving and Legacy being removed

it didn't mention anything like this

They should've mentioned that they are getting rid of GetChatForUserAsync

Hey guys can I get your help, how do I go about creating a framework for a levelling/ exp system

[tropic sequoia]

that will not help you

[versed sierra]

not just watching

like actually using it

im making gambling rn

[tropic sequoia]

nah I am saying you need to stick to 1 of the basics first (i.e. functions) and learn that for the whole day. before moving to the next

[versed sierra]

not all at once

Too my knowledge there is a limit to attributes. Is it better to use object values instead of attributes or?

[wise turtle]

what’s ur usecase?

datastoring

like levels exp

[wise turtle]

should use tables

[hardy pilot]

ur mam

[gray maple]

yes

[karmic cobalt]

Guys there a plugin to connect roblox studio with github? so I can commit scripts etc

[gray maple]

iirc someone is making a plugin for that. But personally, I would use rojo that connects roblox to visual studio code, and from there you use git

[karmic cobalt]

so rojo works like you writing scripts in vsc and rojo moves the script to roblox? never worked with rojo

[gray maple]

when you save a script in vsc, it pastes to the roblox studio

the setup for rojo is tedious

you must work from scratch if you want to use rojo

so if you have an existing project, you cant

[karmic cobalt]

so why you need rojo for that? its like remote to transfer script from vsc to roblox?

[gray maple]

yeah

[karmic cobalt]

oh shit

[karmic cobalt]

rip me

there is other way to commit scripts from roblox studio to github in already existed project

[wise turtle]

you can still port ur game over

[pure verge]

hey all - what are some good roblox projects for a portfolio? I'm typically a website dev but looking into roblox

[wraith spear]

is it possible to be able script a PTZ Camera that can move with ease and zoom with mouse wheel and be viewed from a person at a control seat?

Includes:
• Camera presets with a number pad gui
• to set a preset you would press a number 1-4 and press set.
• to go to that preset you would type in 1-4 and press call

[weak radish]

yes it's possible

[weak radish]

the hardest stuff you can make

[real summit]

Is here anybody worked for a donation game???

[static coral]

anything that looks good

[exotic sequoia]

Kind of disagree there ... make a portfolio of the things you WANT to create for others even if you consider it easy

[static coral]

smooth ui, unique things, vfx

[exotic sequoia]

If it is not something you would enjoy making for developers, don't add it to your portfolio

Just a little alert ... beginner to moderate coders are almost obsoleted with AI so make sure your skills are sharper than what AI can do

How can you tell where you are? Ask AI to make something, then take note of all that you would need to do to implement it into an actual game. The more work you have to do to make it usable, the more useful that skillset is

[bleak glade]

not true

theres rbxlx to rojo exe made in rust that will transfer an existing project

[exotic sequoia]

Check this out

Then commit the local copy to github

It really feels like Roblox is reinventing the wheel here as usual

Why they refuse to just build in git integration is beyond me

[craggy niche]

            p.PrefixText = "<font color='#0000ff'>[Developer]</font> "..msg.PrefixText

how do i concantenate "developer" and the color if its already in speech marks im confused

[weak radish]

Well I wasn't saying if you absolutely hate doing something to put it on your portfolio

but you want the most impressive things

[karmic cobalt]

I need help with rojo (using first time), that means if I click accept every my script be overwrited by vsc project?

I want move the whole game to visual studio code
but i dont understand how its works
I need copy and paster every script from roblox to vsc manual?

[gray maple]

its ass

[static coral]

use string interpolation

by using backtick (`) for strings

[static coral]

also you want to concatenate it with msg.Text

[bleak glade]

rblxl to rojo

https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rbxlx-to-rojo

[craggy niche]

what difference does that make

[bleak glade]

also why are you firing clients a changed value when it can be read on the client

[elder pulsar]

ANyone availbe to help on a quick bug fix with a game opening?

[static coral]

you are concatenating the prefixtext with new prefixtext

you just need to set msg.PrefixText

wait no

im a crackhead

you js need to set the prefixtext

[craggy niche]

idk but current one works

[heady granite]

i'm boycotting studio because of the plainly shit api 🤷

[crude magnet]

If your vsc project has nothing, no

Any file on the vsc project will just add to it.

No need to copy & paste every script unless you want to edit them in vsc

[shell imp]

how would i make an interval and make a gift box spawn in random areas?

[karmic cobalt]

If I want commit eveyrthing to github, I need paste everythgin right?

i just started scripting is this organized enough?

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local selectedPart = nil
local highlight = Instance.new("Highlight")
highlight.FillColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
highlight.OutlineColor = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
highlight.OutlineTransparency = 0
highlight.FillTransparency = 1
highlight.DepthMode = Enum.HighlightDepthMode.AlwaysOnTop

if selectedPart ~= target then
selectedPart = target
highlight.Adornee = selectedPart
highlight.Enabled = true
end
else
selectedPart = nil
highlight.Enabled = false
end
end)

or should i put the highlight in the replicatedstorage or sm??

[crude magnet]

No

Do y'all think this would work so far? I am not good with OOP as of yet.

I don't even know why I am using OOP

[uneven jolt]

Im trying to make a grab system, currently, it welds the "Target" To the Attacker after changing the collision groups so they dont collide, however, it "freezes" the attacker and they can only jump. How do I go about making it so the attacker can move freely?

any ideas?

[heady granite]

local contab={}
table.insert(contab(hundredsofconnections))
--contab is never ref'd

will contab be gc'd

[tropic sequoia]

you parented weldthing twice

[karmic cobalt]

I try figure out how rojo works, but I dont understand why in StarterCharacterScript the script dont shows but when I move to ReplicatedStorage its works

[errant elm]

minecraft has such a specific implementation for its water voxel fluid

its not an easy to define cellular automata 😔

[karmic cobalt]

nice, do you use raycast for that?

[tropic sequoia]

make the voxels smaller

it would be fun to see actual water fluidity

other than polygons

[uneven jolt]

Oh yeah, does that matter?

[tropic sequoia]

idk test it, I normally parent it at the end so it doesn't have missing properties

[uneven jolt]

didnt work
Honestly just going to make a remote event to all clients align position and orientation

[tropic sequoia]

hold on what is actually wrong with the script

is the attacker supposed to move

[uneven jolt]

yes

Actually hold

[tropic sequoia]

alr is the target attached to the character and nothing is anchored within the target

[uneven jolt]

yes, you can still jump up and down and it will move a (tiny) bit

[karmic cobalt]

Why I cant create local script in RepFirst in vsc, I can only create modular script

[tropic sequoia]

is it enabled

[tropic sequoia]

modular can be either server or client sided

[karmic cobalt]

I know

but I need local script not module

I need create local script called Init, whos requires all main modules on client

On roblox its easy

but when I use rojo

Im so confused

[tropic sequoia]

I haven't used rojo before so I can't help, why can't you create an init in roblox then use rojo for the modules

[tropic sequoia]

have you enabled the weld

[karmic cobalt]

I have everything in roblox but I want move whole scripts to vsc to commit on git hub for version control and portfolio

[tropic sequoia]

alr

[karmic cobalt]

I try move whhole game to rojo

to use vsc

[uneven jolt]

yes, its enabled

[tropic sequoia]

try creating an attachment to weld the character to instead of weld directly to the attacker

@uneven jolt try creating a new instance either in the character's body part or via script and parent it to the body part you want to weld them to

[misty grove]

Has anyone found an alternative to the filtering

[uneven jolt]

ima try making an attachment

[tropic sequoia]

alr

[unkempt depot]

Would I use :FireClient for UI and :FireAllClients for Animations (Ex. a Combat System)

Or is it backwards

i'm a little confused about it

[tropic sequoia]

why do you want to use fireclient, is the ui script serversided or client

[unkempt depot]

Client

[tropic sequoia]

use modules instead

[unkempt depot]

They're better?

[tropic sequoia]

well you are trying to use fireclient which only can be used in a server script

[unkempt depot]

💀

Im so slow

Tysm

[tropic sequoia]

you should never use that

[unkempt depot]

Alright bet

[tropic sequoia]

learn a bit about modules before you use them

[errant elm]

i was emulating the minecraft behaviour with some diffs so its pretty boring even if i make it smaller

[jaunty kernel]

is typescript easier than lua?

[heady granite]

is it just me who would never use promises because task.spawn() exists

[karmic cobalt]

rojo its just transfer from vsc to roblox

its using lua too

its eveyrthing the same as in roblox studio

[pulsar acorn]

does it have an output?

[wild basin]

It's a tooling that bridges files from your local machine into Roblox Studio

[karmic cobalt]

it have, you use visual studio code for it

I use it for github

so I can keep control version and commit everything

[pulsar acorn]

ohh i see

[pulsar acorn]

i just want to run functions and stuff and see an output, could i use rojo/

oh i see

but like what happens if u execute a piece of code?

does it impact studio

ty for telling me

[karmic cobalt]

np

[pulsar acorn]

gl with it!

why did u wanna use it btw

oh wait u said nvm

lol

[karmic cobalt]

github

it also preffered by big projects in roblox, cuz everyone can clone repo and open for thems, like if you have 4 scripters

one have main repo, others clone and work on them

later they just commit and push changes

and its nice way to keep version control

[pulsar acorn]

i see thanks:D
wdym by commit?

[karmic cobalt]

do you used git before?

[pulsar acorn]

never

[karmic cobalt]

commit to save changes, push to upload chhanges to github

[pulsar acorn]

i see

[karmic cobalt]

and you use powershell or git command bar for them

[pulsar acorn]

is git complicated

[karmic cobalt]

I dont think so, but I have git in unviersity

but porobably you can learnm from youtube

its basic programming tool

[pulsar acorn]

ah i see, thanks for telling me these stuff!

[karmic cobalt]

How to script a tool to emit vfx and play an animations?

[pulsar wing]

Yo, I'm making a combat system (like battlegrounds m1s) which I can make, but I was wondering the best way to keep track of stats like stun and ragdoll or if they are already attacking. I was going to use a module but since I want it to be responsive I need to handle it on the client, but modules don't replicate and I need sanity checks on the server. Not completely sure what the best way to handle that would be. Thanks.

[static coral]

is there a way to import/export script editor settings?

When should I use global variables?

like I use local scope variables a whole lot and never tend to use global variable in my scripts.

[lost pebble]

Never

[stiff ibex]

yes

[lost pebble]

Wdym modules don’t replicate? They can be used by both client and server

[stiff ibex]

its for the firmware’s reserved space in the memory, then the rest of the memory can be use by the system (like apps, games, background tasks and what not)

I just hope it doesn’t take up too much memory and space.

use modules

if u have multiple particles use pairs to avoid using code like
local particle1 =
local particle2 =

etc

playing an anim use Humanoid:LoadAnimation() or simply just use AnimController

Use multiple modules for each game mechanics

and just let the server handle less mechanics inside and module load everything under the server

hi

[tacit viper]

i want to bring the rock 1 stud up but when i try to do it, doesnt work at all

[tacit viper]

no heres my code

i want to be able to bring it up a stud

but it doesnt work

[solemn dagger]

How do I position a gui over a vector3

[solemn dagger]

Add 1 on y axis?

[static coral]

you are currently adding 0 to y

[tacit viper]

isnt to move it up the z axis?

[static coral]

to position it perfectly on top of something its:
y = platform.Size.Y / 2 + obj.Size.Y / 2

[tacit viper]

ah

[static coral]

no, z is forward and backward

[tacit viper]

ok

[static coral]

x is left and right

y is up and down

[tacit viper]

thats strange

whatever

[static coral]

remember that .Position uses global space

not local space

[tacit viper]

so .CFrame works better?

[static coral]

for something basic like this vector3 and position is fine

its just your formula that is wrong

[tacit viper]

oh

but it works fine for me

i'll see

how do i turn a keyframesequence into a animation

how do i turn a keyframesequence into a animation

[swift blaze]

help

[shy cipher]

I want to have a running animation play when the movedirection magnitude of the humanoid is past a certain threshold, but the problem is that it still plays when the character jumps or is in any other state. what's the best way to go about this? I want the animation to stop when the magnitude is below the threshold

[proud idol]

theres 2 ways you can do this

first is by forking the animation script that generates when ur character spawns, inside of it theres the ids of the animations the avatar has equipped at that time, all you gotta do is swap em to ur custom animation id and place the script in starter character scripts

[shy cipher]

I have a function that automatically loads the animations for me, and I have the animation loaded. there's also a function called stopAllAnims() if that helps here. I want the default r6 walk animation to be there, and when the magnitude passes the threshold, it switches to the running animation and vice versa

[proud idol]

okay so u have a custom animation handler then

[jovial badger]

could you not check the humanoid state and then if they are jumping dont play it

[proud idol]

alternatively lower the animation prio of the run

[shy cipher]

yeah I thought of using that and using that to check if the player is running too, but the problem was that it was sending the check only once and not repeating it to see if the player has passed the threshold. I tried putting a while loop inside that breaks if the threshold is met and lets the running code play but it only works the first time

[jovial badger]

could you send a snippet of the code?

[shy cipher]

let me see

how can I format it into lua code here

[proud idol]

to be fair are you doing the system where u gradually increase the walkspeed?

[shy cipher]

nope the max walkspeed is 32, trying to mimic the max walkspeed of parkour legacy

[proud idol]

but static walkspeed right?

[shy cipher]

yeah it stays constant

should I try the walkspeed gradient method you told me, it will switch the r6 walk animation with the running animation if the threshold is met and revert it when not

[shy cipher]

lua
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()

if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0.5 then
    
    if not loadedAnims.run.IsPlaying then
        stopAllAnims() 
        loadedAnims.run:Play()
    end
else
    
    if loadedAnims.run.IsPlaying then
        loadedAnims.run:Stop()
    end
end

end)

uh

[shy cipher]

here's what I got going right now, it's the 3rd method I've tried so far

[proud idol]

this isn't inherently wrong but you are missing the condition of when the character is jumping to also stop it

[shy cipher]

sure but I'm currently trying to implement the run-up feature where you have to be at a certain speed for the running animation before adding if character jumping stop animation

[jovial badger]

local state = nil

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
    
    state = Humanoid:GetState()

    if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0.5 then
        
        if not loadedAnims.run.IsPlaying then
            stopAllAnims() 
            loadedAnims.run:Play()
        end
    else
        
        if loadedAnims.run.IsPlaying then
            loadedAnims.run:Stop()
        end
    end
    
    if state == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping then
      if loadAnims.run.IsPlaying then loadedAnims.run:Stop() end
    end

end)

[proud idol]

the thing is that MoveDirection is digital inputs only

[jovial badger]

you could try smth like that

[proud idol]

not sure if controller makes it analog

[shy cipher]

I'll try it in place of my current code

[proud idol]

but basically MoveDirection.Magnitude will always be either 0 or 1

[proud idol]

More compact version of this

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
    if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0.5 and Humanoid:GetState() ~= Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping then
        
        if not loadedAnims.run.IsPlaying then
            stopAllAnims() 
            loadedAnims.run:Play()
        end
    else
        
        if loadedAnims.run.IsPlaying then
            loadedAnims.run:Stop()
        end
    end
end)

[shy cipher]

I mean it does stop the run animation and start it when needed but it doesn't have run-up or proper stopping on jump, the animation simply restarts after the jumping code stops it

I don't really know how movedirection works I thought magnitude is another way to say velocity

[proud idol]

nope

magnitude is basically some vector nerd math concept

which jsut represent the vectors total length

[shy cipher]

well what do I do to calculate the player's current speed? walkspeed refers to the max speed : (

[proud idol]

you cant really do it on movedirection

[jovial badger]

velocity of the hrp?

[shy cipher]

how could I implement gradual acceleration too?

[proud idol]

again, move direction is a digital input that dictates the directin the humanoid is moving

[shy cipher]

roblox's current one is too fast

[jovial badger]

you coud lerp the walkspeed

thats what i do for that

[shy cipher]

yeah I never know the different between lerping and tweening

[proud idol]

if you want to implement that, i suggest you by adding the walkspeed change system

where you start at a lower speed but the more u keep moving the gradually it increases

and that is something you can use to detect the current speed of the player

you just gotta script its change first

[shy cipher]

so that means the current speed will be the walkspeed?

in this circumstance

[proud idol]

indeed

[shy cipher]

such genius such wow

[proud idol]

you detect when the player is moving when MoveDirection.Magnitude is not 0

[shy cipher]

does movedirection give you any xyz values to detect in WHICH direction the player is moving?

[proud idol]

dont need to worry about that

all you need to check is whether the player is moving or not

[shy cipher]

still curious

[proud idol]

which again, MoveDirection.Magnitude describes that

as long as MoveDirection.Magnitude ~= 0, then the player is moving

and if that condition is met, you gradually add an increment to walkspeed

[shy cipher]

this might be a bit complicated but do you know how to detect if the player is near the ledges of a part?

I wondered how hudzell calculated where the ledge was on a building for the long jump in parkour

[proud idol]

raycasts

and a bit of vector math

[shy cipher]

but raycasts detect the entire surface na?

[jovial badger]

you send out multiple to map it out

[proud idol]

and also do vector math

[shy cipher]

how does it work

[proud idol]

when the player triggers the grab a ledge command, you check launch several raycasts to map out whats in front of the player

[shy cipher]

ok sure but what's the logic behind the mapping

[tiny mural]

Hi, are there any project investors on this server by any chance

[proud idol]

if for example the raycasts sent to detect whats above the player dont hit the same part/dont hit anything at all to what the bottom/middle positioned raycasts do

thats a good sign the player is on ledge

[tropic sequoia]

can someone simply explain what forward dependencies are?

[proud idol]

#marketplace-info

[shy cipher]

so how can I make the gradual acceleration happen on a gradient? like the acceleration isn't constant

[proud idol]

you can but youd need to some extra math

[shy cipher]

what could be the formula

[tiny mural]

I mean if there is someone who lends robux and then asks for a % of the game's earnings

[shy cipher]

the most advanced one I ever came up with was 16*level + 16 for a walkspeed level system

[proud idol]

a cuadratic/cubic formula should be good enough

[shy cipher]

liiike?

[tropic sequoia]

what are forward dependencies?

[proud idol]

cmon bro ax^2+bx+c or ax^3+bx^2+cx+d

that is like high school math

[tiny mural]

I mean if there is someone who lends robux and then asks for a % of the game's earnings
@proud idol

[shy cipher]

it's just a gradient give me something simpler 💔

[proud idol]

thats how u do gradual change instead of linear change bro lol

[shy cipher]

maybe I haven't reached that level in math yet

[proud idol]

example this is a linear equation

cause it follows the ax+b expression

if u graph that equation, it would should a slope

[shy cipher]

yeah I know linear equations are ones with the power being 1, but can't we at least IMITATE a gradient using arithmetic or something

[proud idol]

if you graph a cuadratic formula, it shows this

[proud idol]

no lol, curves are done with exponents (or trig functions but those arent really usable here unless u only consider the quarter half of a sine function)

aka cuadratic formulas or above

besides, you dont even need to more than just adding the result of the equation depending on the time they have ran

like its not as hard as u making it out to be

[shy cipher]

hear me out

what I could do is have a cooldown between the walkspeed increase arithmetic and poke around with the cooldown by subtracting it from it a constant number each time

adding is better I'm dumb

[proud idol]

dude, just use quadratic equations

[shy cipher]

all school ever taught me till now is how to simplify them, I haven't been to school in 3 years 😭

it's hiddendevving time

I'm gonna try quadratics

[proud idol]

dude its not that hard trust me

[stiff ibex]

Ethernet library header

[proud idol]

local x = 0
local Cap = 1

function CuadraticEquation(t : number)
  return 16*t^2 + 16
end

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(delta)
  if PlayerIsMoving() then
    x += delta
    if x >= Cap then x = Cap end
  else
    x = 0
  end
  
  Humanoid.Walkspeed = CuadraticEquation(x)
end)

@shy cipher

the faster u want it to hit the maxspeed, the mroe increment u wanna give to x

[shy cipher]

I'd understand if you explain what the variables in it mean

[stiff ibex]

mmmm math

[proud idol]

Bro 😭

[shy cipher]

ok I'll shut up 💔

[proud idol]

the logic behind the code is simple to follow

you have x which represents the point ur gonna get a value from the cuadratic equation

it is dependant on the amount of time the player has been running

but theres a limit set by the cap variable (hence the name cap)

after the x value is set, the humanoid walkspeed is set depending on the value returned by the cuadratic equation

its that simple

and now you have a gradual change instead of a linear one

and since the speed has a gradual change, that means that the aceleration is linear (therefore not constant)

[shy cipher]

ok but what is deltatime doing in the equation

[proud idol]

thats how the scripts knows the time the player has been running

delta is the time factor it took the client or server to move to next frame

[shy cipher]

between frames?

[proud idol]

gotta lock in on math man

because programming and math go together like peanut butter and jelly

[shy cipher]

we still tryna figure out how much the butter will be worth in here 🔥

I just need people to explain math in borderland terms and not whatever the book's sayin

you get me

[proud idol]

even in layman's terms you struggled bro

math unfortunatly cant be explained like that outside of introductory concepts

because math by itself is mostly abstract

[shy cipher]

I'm way over the amount of apples charles has by now

[proud idol]

gotta grab the calculus 1 book bro and lock in

[shy cipher]

my mom saying I gotta lock in with the biology book what do I do

[proud idol]

ur screwed

[shy cipher]

pfpfpffft biology is just enzyme go here enzyme go there

[proud idol]

lots of memorizing tho

i could never

[shy cipher]

only thing stopping me is my drawing

also uhh how do I attach my animation to your quadratic

[proud idol]

dont need to add it to the same script

you make a second script where either using Heartbeat or Event connection

you check for Walkspeed value

if the walkspeed value is above a certain level, then ur script runs

[shy cipher]

but why a second script, my anim handler is in this one

oh

[proud idol]

for organization purposes

you couldw rite the code for both of em on the same script

[shy cipher]

at least i can be happy I wrote the anim handler myself 💔

[proud idol]

but its better if u have em separated

[shy cipher]

won't script to script communication every frame destroy your wifi

[proud idol]

thats a way different thing

thats is not even used here

[shy cipher]

arrre we using bindables

[proud idol]

a) no b) thats a thing on remotes only

[shy cipher]

[bronze mantle]

hey guys

got a question

how do I contact people at #builder-hiring or all the hiring categories?

[proud idol]

you dm them

[bronze mantle]

bc I dmed lots of people to show my portfolio but I feel like im being sent to "Spam" so no one sees my messages 😭

[proud idol]

if they ignore u then thats soemthing u jsut gotta accept

[shy cipher]

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(delta)
if Humanoid.WalkSpeed > 6 then
if not loadedAnims.run.IsPlaying then
loadedAnims.run:Play()
end
end
if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude ~= 0 then
x += delta
if x == 1 then loadedAnims.run:Play() end
if x >= Cap then x = Cap end
else
x = 0
end

Humanoid.WalkSpeed = CuadraticEquation(x)

end) what do you think

o wait I forgot something in there

let me remove that

[proud idol]

would set the humanoid walkspeed first, then do the check for the animation

also how i wrote the cuadratic equation, lowest speed value is 16 while max value is 32

[shy cipher]

um

it's playing and resetting the animation every frame it seems

[proud idol]

you fucked the if statement

the one on the animation

[shy cipher]

what may one do to achieve running

[proud idol]

you overcomplicated the if statement

[shy cipher]

I'm sure the compiler can figure that out ❤️‍🔥

[proud idol]

if Humanoid.WalkSpeed > 20 and PlayerIsMoving() then
    if not loadedAnims.run.IsPlaying then
        loadedAnims.run:Play()
    end
else
  loadedAnims.run:Stop()
end

[shy cipher]

but PlayerIsMoving() isn't defined

[proud idol]

you swap it with the thing that u use to detect if the player is moving

I aint just gonna spoonfeed everything to you

[slow plover]

what is happening?

whats the issue?

[shy cipher]

true I did replace it with the magnitude thing the first time ya did it

minimumfeeding is the way I reckon

[slow plover]

why do you need an equation for walkspeed?

[shy cipher]

it works on a gradient

[proud idol]

because he wants to have a gradual change in walkspeed

and a quadratic equation can be used for that

[shy cipher]

I don't know about this quadratic guy but he seems cool

[slow plover]

cuadratic?

[shy cipher]

quahdrahtic

[proud idol]

do you know what a quadratic equation is

[shy cipher]

@proud idol thanks G I am now 3 times less scared of math

[slow plover]

yeah but why are you spelling it with a c?

[proud idol]

in spanish its ecuación cuadratica

i just got it confused

[slow plover]

ohhh okay

[shy cipher]

quick question, if you say (parameter : number), what happens if the passed argument isn't a number?

[proud idol]

nothing

[shy cipher]

nil?

[proud idol]

no

like nothing happens

[shy cipher]

well what is the parameter equal to in this case

[proud idol]

a number

[shy cipher]

and the circumstance is that the passed argument to the parameter isn't a number

[proud idol]

theres no circumstance

because the variable is always set as a number

[shy cipher]

like circumstance as in scenarioooo

[shy cipher]

what if I try to use it in a formula or equation

[proud idol]

u code the variable to be diffrent types

but that doesnt happen here so no check is necessary

[shy cipher]

so there's a linear equation and a quadratic then what's the other one

cubic?

[proud idol]

cubic, quartic, quintic, etc.

[shy cipher]

is there any purpooose to a cubic equation

[proud idol]

but at most ull usually just use cubics

[proud idol]

if you failed to comprehend a quadratic equation, youll comprehend the cubic even less

[shy cipher]

give me a minute to comprehend quadratics

[proud idol]

granted cubic is not as often used as quadratics, but it has is niche uses

more often than not ull be using quadratics and trig functions

but luckily u dont need trig functions here

or youd be brain overloaded

[shy cipher]

ok just give me an example for what the cubic does

[proud idol]

3D volumes

[shy cipher]

can't ya just use part.Size

[proud idol]

how would you calculate the volume of a cube+

[shy cipher]

l cubed

lxlxl

[proud idol]

how do you calculate the volume of a sphere

[shy cipher]

genuinely don't remember that one

[proud idol]

well whatever it is

the point is suppose your cube

changes volume across time

were t = l

if you graph that

you get the simplest cubic equation

[wet zealot]

yo any1 knows how to fix "AnimationClip loaded is not valid."?

[shy cipher]

how do you graph a cube?? ain't graphs 2d

[proud idol]

graphs can be 3d, and i meant graph the volume of the cube

youd get this

now in game engines

you usually dont care about cubics bc the engine already does the calculations for u

[shy cipher]

looks like someone got their maths right

[proud idol]

but that doesnt mean theres aint niche use cases

for example, you usually see em when lerping to a value+

[shy cipher]

yes I would definetely need a curvy looking line
