[odd galleon]

im just try to make one bg game for fun

that im not making any money hopefully

and all anim were made by me

because i am animator that i want to see the anim in game i guess but the scripting it uhhhh too compicalted

im try to breakdown it but the only thing i know it writing only varible

[hexed pilot]

here

for your walk

local weapons = {
    "Combat"
    
}:: {string}

Character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(weapon: Instance?)
    if weapon:IsA("Tool") and table.find(weapons, weapon.Name) then
        print(`Equipped {weapon.Name}`)
    end
end)```

instead of updating it from another local script add something like this into your animate script and update youre idles and walks that way

[odd galleon]

this look more complicated....

I'm try to understand it instead copy and paste from other

sorry for you time btw

[hexed pilot]

what it does is

see when you have an item equipped and check if its in the weapons table

if it is itll print equipped what weapon you got

and then you just update the anims yourself

[odd galleon]

still

it because I don't write like you and not understand all symbol

}:: {string}

what even it that

I really never used lol

[hexed pilot]

its type checking whatever is in the table is just a string

[odd galleon]

yeah I still don't

okay I come back when I can write thing right

[sacred lotus]

How to make all the buttons go out of the screen like this showing just one frame

[hexed pilot]

explain

aren't the buttons already going away?

[sacred lotus]

The thunder dev already explained it to me

[peak oak]

who is selling a game

[hexed pilot]

oh you don't need help anymore?

what was the problem ;o

[sacred lotus]

U know when he opened a frame all the other buttons tweened out the screen

[hexed pilot]

yes

[rain sapphire]

Guys i was trying to make my first game but im kinda stuck at a place im not able to figure out why my code is not working

I want npc to spawn outside the gate , and then they walk in and form a line in front of us

i wrote all the necessary code still the npc doesnt spawn , what am i doing wrong ?

[hexed pilot]

show the code

[proud idol]

Not showing the code and output window is def gonna solve ur issue

(Aka show the code and output window)

[rain sapphire]

wait

bro whaaa 😭 i been onto this for 2 hrs now used all ai helps too but i cant
now i went to take ss of the error msg and npc spawned

tyyyy

[hexed pilot]

wow

[proud idol]

I wouldnt say issue solved

But if ur happy then

[hexed pilot]

also, use the task library so start doing task.wait()

[rain sapphire]

it used to say ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RequestNewCivilian")'

[rain sapphire]

ohhh okk noted

[proud idol]

Oh

Lol

Happens

Is why you check the output window@rain sapphire

[rain sapphire]

allr ima go try to make it walk now

[rain sapphire]

[somber axle]

how much robux would it cost to script a skip stage ImageButton

[hexed pilot]

script it how?

[somber axle]

like when player click on ImageButton Gui it pops out the dev item and when tey buy it then skip Stage (for obby game)

[hexed pilot]

dev item

you mean dev product?

[somber axle]

oh ye mb

[hexed pilot]

here

[somber axle]

i am trying to do it for like 2.5h now

yt dont help chat gpt dont help roblox ai dont help so i was wondering if i can pay someone and how much would it cost bc i gave up on it

[hexed pilot]

is it

a specific dev product like

skip one stage or is there like skip 5 stages , etc

[somber axle]

just 1 skip

like click buy and it skip stage non eles

[hexed pilot]

its simple

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

local localPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer

local button = script.Parent
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    MarketplaceService:PromptProductPurchase(localPlayer, 1836264283)
end)```

this will make it so when they click whatever button you got, itll prompt them with a dev product - 1836264283 is a random ID so replace it with yours either put this under your button, or wherever you guys handle GUIs

[somber axle]

let me try it

is it local script ?

[hexed pilot]

yes

[somber axle]

it show me to buy it and when i buy it non happens

[north vigil]

Giving up is not a option if you want to make your own game

[hexed pilot]

ok so

it prompts right?

[somber axle]

idk i just copy paste it i have like 0 clue with scripts

[somber axle]

i gave up on try to do this myself (scripts)

[hexed pilot]

no im asking you if the prompt came up when you clicked the button

for the dev product purchase

[somber axle]

oh yes

[hexed pilot]

okay

[somber axle]

i can inv you to team create to see your self

ima pay you up if you do it if you want

[hexed pilot]

uhh

sure why not

[somber axle]

send me ya user

[hexed pilot]

it is very simple though,

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

MarketplaceService.ProcessReceipt = function(product: {[string]: any})
    local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(product.PlayerId) :: PLayer 
    if not player then
        return
    end
    
    if product.ProductId == 1836264283 then
        print(`{player.Name} bought skip Stage`)
    end
end

this checks when they buy the skip stage, and then you'd just update their current stage on the server

[somber axle]

where do i put that

[hexed pilot]

server

do you have a script where you handle dev products? if not just add one

just add me and give me TC i'll quickly do it, ImKiddon

[lament pivot]

while true do

[somber axle]

alr

[lament pivot]

what type of game

[somber axle]

accept

[hexed pilot]

spazz?

added

[somber axle]

added

[hexed pilot]

ok

ok @somber axle

oh do you get a new stage when you move 1.5 studs up or something

[somber axle]

oh ye

1.5 cound in leaderboard aswell

[hexed pilot]

yo there is already a script here that does it

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

local skipStageProductId = 3289392669

game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SkipStageEvent").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    MarketplaceService:PromptProductPurchase(player, skipStageProductId)
end)

MarketplaceService.ProcessReceipt = function(receiptInfo)
    local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(receiptInfo.PlayerId)
    if not player then
        return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.NotProcessedYet
    end

    local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
    if leaderstats and leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Stage") then
        leaderstats.Stage.Value += 1
    end

    return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.PurchaseGranted
end

[somber axle]

idk it was not worling

[hexed pilot]

oh

it does work

[somber axle]

thats from Lua Gpt i thinkj

[hexed pilot]

it adds an stage

but it doesnt teleport you, is that what u want

[somber axle]

i want it when player buy skip stage to tp them like +1 stage

that all

[hexed pilot]

k

done @somber axle

[somber axle]

ayy

ty man

how much i own you

[hexed pilot]

nothing it was simple ;/

dont worry

[somber axle]

damm tysm man

[cedar patrol]

Is there anything wrong or stupid about my code?

[twilit stump]

hello guys new roblox update roblox can ||fuck ||your game radomly

sorry for the swear

[sturdy briar]

just made a data store using buffers, i am feeling like god

[craggy niche]

how do i get player from textchatservice.OnIncomingMessage

[small veldt]

isnt this a client only thing

[craggy niche]

si

its on local script

[small veldt]

always game.Players.LocalPlayer for client

[craggy niche]

i cant

local player returns the local player (wow omg), but i need the player who sent the message

[velvet summit]

What are buffers?

[rapid slate]

GetPlayers or GetPlayerByUserId? (from docs)

[weak radish]

isn't it in parameters

[craggy niche]

nope

[craggy niche]

this guy was right

kinda

player = getplayerfromuserid(msg.textsource.userid)

[rapid slate]

it's better to give a hint and let you figure it out :)

[raven cloak]

things that help supress memory leaks, and store data in them.

not the best definition though, if im wrong someone can correct me.

[rapid slate]

they don't really help supress memory leaks, if not done properly they can be the cause of it

it speeds up access to that data that you want to temporarily store, for fast-access copy

so in a sense it helps manage memory, it doesn't solve memory leaks

memory leaks is like forgotten trash or the mess in your room you haven't cleaned up in ages

to sort your mess, you can use trays and have quick access to the small messes in ur room

aka buffers

[proud idol]

that means they deleted the asset

and its jsut a mesh

[ivory bronze]

ya'll rate my electrocution system https://streamable.com/dyz2f7

[unreal axle]

I think it'd be funnier if it just straight up ragolled

[unreal axle]

how'd you do it

[ivory bronze]

oh yeah thx for the idea

[sturdy briar]

normally

[raven marten]

it looks so cool 😄

[sturdy briar]

make a buffer and when it comes to save in data store just convert buffer to string

[unreal axle]

I mean specifically how'd you structure everything together

[sturdy briar]

i made a template for a usedata

next

when player joins i load the data in a table and create leaderstats if not then i set user data to my template

setting up data soo player have some starter values

and when it comes to save or load converting to string or from sting to buffer and that's all

[ivory bronze]

my 15 yr brain trying to understand this is killing me

[sturdy briar]

blud am 14

[unreal axle]

me when people got different learning processes!

[raven cloak]

thanks for correcting me, wasnt 100% sure.

[quiet creek]

yoo 1 week free nitro

[rapid slate]

this is a great start!

i would definitely recommend a retry mechanism, what if something saves/loads at the same time potential data loss could happen

what if players crash.. do they just lose everything? -> auto-save maybe

then there's plenty of other things to do if you'd like

[tired rampart]

who has a game to 10 ccu to 1k?

[glacial juniper]

You don't, unless you enter a contract

[peak sphinx]

Realistically what's a contract going to do?

[glacial juniper]

It legally binds them

To keeping you in the split

It has to be a proper like contract from attorneys and stuff though

[heady granite]

any server for exploit development?

[tropic totem]

looking for scripters for my studio.Dms if interested

[heady granite]

executors are free and safe. they are not patched and continue to function.

full-coverage patching on game basis detect hooks which can be bypassed by decompiling getfenv() from a debug.getinfo hook.

executors are detected due to low monetary incentive for older developers to work on them, but roblox refuses to do anything about the detection.

Hey guys, I want to build a really good portfolio and I wanted to know what I should add to a scripting portfolio

[fast radish]

if your known wanna collab with me 😁✌️

i have almost 50 members on my port

[plush lichen]

should you focus on making the game loop first and finish that before focusing on the flashy stuff like modeling and animation?

[bleak glade]

i usually do the backend stuff first before working with the models/animations but it depends on scripter

[winged meteor]

just recently got into lua, I'm trying to learn some so that I can do code related commissions this summer, any tips on where to read up to help me learn?

[plush lichen]

reading bad

go make something

make something -> read -> repeat

[kind magnet]

all of this just for deciding how much an audience likes a certain role and how they should move lmao (this is for my roblox horror game unscripted where you're actors on a tv set)

also animations are placeholders atm

[arctic patio]

does anyone know how to make ball physics

[shrewd python]

is it possible to stop a if function during the middle of it, if so how?

[kind magnet]

connections id say

[shrewd python]

like what connections?

can you give an example?

[dusty pine]

how can I make a grow a garden but different style : Practice coding not copying

[balmy sorrel]

what do you mean by stop a function in the middle?

as in preventing the code in the function from being executed after a certain point based on specific conditions?

[solar plaza]

can anyone teach me how to make kinetic blade(fortnite) dash

[shrewd python]

Yes

[balmy sorrel]

Use a return statement

that stops the code after the statement call from running

[shrewd python]

Does return has to be at the end of the if function?

[balmy sorrel]

it doesn't have to but it can

it depends on why you're using a return statement

[fathom sundial]

return at the end of a function is basically useless with no variables attached

[balmy sorrel]

^

[fathom sundial]

use return to either return variables or end the function entirely

[shrewd python]

Alright thanks, I’ll see what I can do with it

[solar plaza]

i need help with scripting dash

[fathom sundial]

local Data = {"test1"}
local function test(Call, Data)
  if Call == "GET" then
    return unpack(Data or {})
  end

  --// push n other call types to update data; 
end

if call isnt equal to "GET" it wont return anything, and if it is but theres no data, it will return an empty table

if both variables exist it will return all the values inside of data separately

anyone have any packages they think are good to know about before starting roblox dev? i've worked with some other engines before

free models is insane

tf u mean ?

u wanna know how to create a gun search one up read the code and try to change it to make it work how u want

Yo, i got around 4 years of Experience as a scripter now but I have legit no portfolio. I didn’t do any commissions for released games and I have an nda for the other games. Any idea what I could code for my portfolio ?

[tardy pasture]

well since u u have 4 years experience i assume u already coded some shit

[silk sky]

some people are allergic to reading

[modest socket]

prof service is good but like

just make your own, its literally 2 scripts and 1 is a module will controls for ur all the players data

[runic quarry]

Did you have any like passion projects

Even small ones

You can try extending on those

[modest socket]

try copy other games, but make it a little bit more unique

[tardy pasture]

he is talking about small project for his portfolio not entire games

[modest socket]

ah alright

uhhh, just make systems

[runic quarry]

With four years experience I'm sure you can come up with a good project idea

[modest socket]

yeah exactly

just make little systems, or make ur own engines as a passion project

making ur own engine shows ur all ur skill tbf since it requires alot of exp

[sudden estuary]

is that roblox constraint

one

[glacial kestrel]

ikcontrols

optimization wise? pretty terrible

[runic quarry]

I watched a yt short about that once

[glacial kestrel]

I could code my own controller

[runic quarry]

The guy had a cauliflower head

[glacial kestrel]

but for now I’m sticking to ikcontrols because they’re easier to visualize for me

[runic quarry]

As his 3D animated representation

[runic quarry]

Have you seen this guy before
https://youtube.com/shorts/wCPYtaVuW2w?si=0P_9fK4O_gQ03UmO

[glacial kestrel]

oh yeah

really interesting

[sudden estuary]

is it? never used it

[glacial kestrel]

it’s

fine to use it

if you’re a hyper optimization freak then you could make your own system

[sudden estuary]

i see

i just got a slash vfx and its a particle emitter but i tried scripting and it does work and shows the vfx and the position is almost correct but it looks ass can anyone help me?

if u know algorhytms then just tutorials should suffice but like, you might want to read docs atleast just a little bit (or learn lua's syntax) ht tps:// www. tutorialspoint.com/lua/lua_basic_syntax. htm

Hey so how do I turn my players into an animal

Like an animal like a lion as a playable character

[eternal veldt]

I found the issue, It was the raycast hitting the player's foot due to the animation

[dark juniper]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1111115932606136424/1319006134778204242/togif_1.gif

Be careful guys…

[eternal veldt]

I added player's character to the raycast exclude list and it works fine now

[dark juniper]

don’t rage bait…

[late flame]

Wha ;-;

[somber vault]

Mb

Just find some morph script in toolbox and change the morph ig

Or make the model the "StarterCharacter"

And put in starterplayer

[late flame]

Ahh okayy

[somber vault]

There are like a million tutorials for morphs

So search it up if you need help

[late flame]

Can u animate morphs?

I wanna give it abilities too

[late flame]

Like do u get the model?

[dark juniper]

What are U trying to make

[small palm]

Ah ok

[late flame]

Like a player can turn into a lion or other animals and fight other players (with animations and special abilities)

[late flame]

That's the basic idea

[dark juniper]

Ok yea that’s a bit of a hybrid kinda thing

U need know model and coding

but that’s me so

[dark juniper]

yea that’s something noobs should stay away from

[late flame]

Modeling is so hard lol

[dark juniper]

yea it is

But you can just make the lions out of parts

[late flame]

Yeahhh I'm kind of a beginner and I know only scripting

[dark juniper]

Cuts the process down by a lot

learn to make a parts rig

or U could take something on sketchfab that’s open source

[late flame]

Hmm yeahh but it's chunky and no players will like it lol

[dark juniper]

And retopologize it then bake then add bones to it

[late flame]

Sketchfab?

Hmm

[dark juniper]

Yea modeling site

[late flame]

Idk anything about it loo

I'll check it out

[dark juniper]

look it up

Models on Roblox need to be under 10k tris

And they also need to be rigged

If you wanna animate them in Roblox moon animator

Since ur a noob they need both of these two

[late flame]

Idk what's even tris

;-;

[dark juniper]

yea U don’t even know what tris i don’t expect you to be able to figure this out anytime soon

[somber vault]

Good luck maxie find a tutorial

[dark juniper]

no it’s multiple tutorials

[somber vault]

I got 28 dolla in mah bank

[dark juniper]

Im scripter and modeler

[somber vault]

And 4 quarters in a jar at home

[somber vault]

Eewww

Worst combo

[dark juniper]

yea but I’m actually good tho

At both

[wintry panther]

why

[somber vault]

He can only be good at one

He lies

[dark juniper]

no I’m genuinely good at both

I lowkey got two skills

[somber vault]

Portfolio?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1138164798652166264/1369297054978932736/image0.gif

[dark juniper]

I don’t really keep images lmao but I send a lot of my work in the modeling channel

If you wanna search for images there go for it

I mainly just make my own games

I don’t have a portfolio

These are two of my own characters I modeled tho

[somber vault]

Chat this man is the worst scripter you've ever met

[dark juniper]

Im insane actually

[somber vault]

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-emoji-nerdge-gif-23738139

[dark juniper]

ok

Im wasting my time I go cod

[somber vault]

"Wasting my time"

[dark juniper]

yea I coded like 16 hours yesterday

[sudden solstice]

whats one skill thats easiest to improve in under a month

[dark juniper]

I need to code more

[somber vault]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/995018479394627674/1343615076082520165/caption.gif

[somber vault]

What did you code

[somber vault]

Filling out job applications

[dark juniper]

Im coding a streets game so I made robbing, a cash system, added new chars

[sudden solstice]

💔

[somber vault]

16 hours?

[dark juniper]

Yea basically

[somber vault]

Im sorry

[sudden solstice]

is that. a daily thing

or just when ur so focused

[somber vault]

Mobile support?

[dark juniper]

It was just really focused that day

[dark juniper]

For the most part, it’s mainly just proximity prompt and gui button activated

[somber vault]

Send link

Ill check it out

[dark juniper]

The only real thing I need to add mobile support to is assault rifle

Since it uses UIS:WhilePressed(mouse button 1)

Or something like that

[somber vault]

You can uh

[sudden solstice]

is adding mobile support a whole different ball game?

[somber vault]

No

[dark juniper]

It really isn’t unless ur game is like a combat system

With a bunch of buttons

But I believe there’s a new roblox service for all inputs

I need to try it today

[somber vault]

Show the game gang

[sudden solstice]

genuinely had a reality check when i realised mobile conversion isnt automatic

[somber vault]

I gotta see how quickly ill break ur code

[dark juniper]

Ok bet we can play

[somber vault]

Yay

[dark juniper]

I’ll dm you in a sec

[somber vault]

[eternal veldt]

Thank you though

[late flame]

Thanks I'm finding a way rm

[proven depot]

im using a trial to do this but its looks chopped af can how can i make it smooth

[late flame]

What the hell is even modeling

[late flame]

So does Roblox only supports tris?

I researched it and found out about quads and ngons too

[mystic belfry]

yo guys! where do i apply to get hired for my scripting?

[dark juniper]

roblox autoconverts to tris

ngons and quads are really just triangles when U think about it

[north vigil]

Yoo guys, I need help just watch the video, after that the issue should be clear, that the player cant move on the platform is normal, thats what I wanted, but after the platform drove back to beginning, the character is moving too. After the platform is back, the platform should be there forever and the player is free of the fix. This is my main problem

[mystic belfry]

uh

[late flame]

So I'm seeing game engine formats, 3D DDC formats and 3D exchange formats which one does Roblox use?

[ruby cipher]

dude roblox needs to add "copy location "

that'd be a nice qol

[glacial kestrel]

ty

[late flame]

Wdym

[ruby cipher]

likei nstead of having to write game.replicatedstorager.modules.blabla.blabla

u can just press

copy location, and it copies it for u

[late flame]

Just set up variables for that

U can skip like 2 or 3

[ruby cipher]

its a qol

its just nice to have

[late flame]

Local blah = game.replicatefstorage.modules

Then u won't have to mention all dat again

[ruby cipher]

u do understand

that u make a thousands of variables in big games

its just a qol 🙏

[late flame]

Alr

[ruby cipher]

u could change

settings

or actually it might be trash

performance wise

[late flame]

Well idk but I think it can be optimized

[late flame]

Anyone a modeler here?

Imma just put the game on hold until I can model myself ig

Wth is a bone hierarchy

[shy furnace]

Just stop being a lazy bum 🙏

[dark juniper]

U sure u dont wanna pay me lol

[ruby cipher]

its not about being lazy its about saving time

[shy furnace]

Dw they’ll add that after 50 years

[late flame]

Wha

[dark juniper]

I can teach you how to make sketchfab models into rigs in studio u can animate

im a pretty rare guy

take the offer if U want

[late flame]

Yeah but I don't even have any international banking system to pay the fee

My country has hyperinflation and civil war so it's not that easy to get one

[ruby cipher]

what would i do without module scripts

[late flame]

I'll have to learn it locally or learn it myself

[late flame]

Your games won't work (if a big one)

[ruby cipher]

Imagine a badgehandler

without module scripts

and u have over 10 badges with requirements

ver hard to manage

[late flame]

Yeah lol

[late flame]

When I started scripting small games

I never used module

Actually I just don't know how to use them lol

[stiff ibex]

poopy code

[ruby cipher]

not even now?

[late flame]

When I started I mean

[late flame]

Now I use them from time to time but

[ruby cipher]

what languagve is this

[late flame]

Not professionally ya know

[ruby cipher]

is this luau

[dark juniper]

why are U on roblox then

U clearly got worse issues at hand

[stiff ibex]

luau

[late flame]

Well because I'm underage and I have no actual thing I can do

[dark juniper]

its pretentious cs major coder code

thats why it look weird

[ruby cipher]

everyone always gotta make the most advanced functions and variables

[rapid slate]

so what

[stiff ibex]

cuz people can take advantage of that

[rapid slate]

if it works it works

• harder to replace the position heh

[ruby cipher]

how so

[dark juniper]

only the guys who don't make games make stuff like that

[ruby cipher]

[stiff ibex]

because there's a bunch of built in functions, libraries, and workarounds to make something work

all I'm doing is making iPhone firmware in Roblox

[ruby cipher]

I mean this looks like something out of c++

[late flame]

I can't understand none of that debug shi

[ruby cipher]

did u make the debug module urself

[stiff ibex]

that's the debug module

[ruby cipher]

u got a whole ass compiler

[stiff ibex]

yes

that's apparently incomplete

[late flame]

When do u need to use codes Like that in lua?

[stiff ibex]

like... Now?

[late flame]

I'm like a beginner rn so I know pretty much nothing

[late flame]

No I mean in which snerios

I forgot how to spell sanerios

[stiff ibex]

scenarios

[ruby cipher]

Any chance to get a sneak peak on what you're making

[late flame]

Yeahh I'm just curious ya know?

[stiff ibex]

the iPhone in Roblox

[ruby cipher]

damn

sick

[late flame]

Like the whole phone OS?

[stiff ibex]

yes

even the internals

[ruby cipher]

do u study at harvard

[stiff ibex]

I'm 15

[ruby cipher]

thats impressive

[stiff ibex]

yes

[late flame]

Dang bro u got a lot of talents and skills

[stiff ibex]

I even have some internal versions of iOS

like InternalUI and SwitchBoard

SwitchBoard's internal name being NonUI

[rapid slate]

sounds p epic tyler

keep at it

[stiff ibex]

thanks

[late flame]

Tyler are u living in 1st world or 3rd world?

[stiff ibex]

uhhhhhh

idk

[rapid slate]

[ruby cipher]

the 3rd sea

blue ocean pacific

[stiff ibex]

First world country, according to Google.

[late flame]

Oh yeah u can def get 100k+ salary with that kind of skills even if you're 18 or smt

I think

Or more if u become an indie developer and succeed lol

[stiff ibex]

all I know is that I'm a female doing all of this

almost the entirety of women and girls around the world don't find it interesting to do this

but I'm one of them that do find it interesting

[ruby cipher]

Coding used to be a females sport

[late flame]

U can literally make a guy salary while staying at home with that kind of skills

[late flame]

Like when they code by hand?

[stiff ibex]

you mean like a remote job?

[late flame]

Yeah at this age rn

[ruby cipher]

back in the 80-90s iirc

[late flame]

Yeah I was mentioning the same era

[rapid slate]

it really doesn't matter whether you're female or male in my country, keep polishing your skills and stay curious will get u very far

[late flame]

They had to manually write codes in paper or smt I heard

Idk

[ruby cipher]

em

i think they just used

terminals

[late flame]

Ahh ok

[stiff ibex]

Are we talking Windows machines? Commodore 64s?

[late flame]

I know they helped in the space race tho

[ruby cipher]

No

It was like really small

[late flame]

Like codes for launching rockets

Idk

[wind wagon]

how much soccer ball kicking system costs?

[stiff ibex]

There were the Commodore 64, IBM PC, and the Apple II family.

[late flame]

Is this allowed?

[ruby cipher]

I don't have much knowledge about the 80s but I thought Apple started later

[wind wagon]

@somber vault @rustic inlet

[stiff ibex]

Modcall them, don't ping

[somber vault]

Missed that

[wind wagon]

i took screen

[ruby cipher]

Imagine writing code on one of these

[wind wagon]

ez

[somber vault]

Make user report I gotta bed myself it’s 2am

[wind wagon]

i took screen of it

[stiff ibex]

yeah that's what I'm talking about

[late flame]

Hey so does anyone have experience in modeling?

How do I even start?

[stiff ibex]

my dad's still asleep, is he off work today?

[late flame]

How would we even know that?

[stiff ibex]

ik yall dont know

but i dont know either

most of the time i just say that if im going afk

[modest stirrup]

someone know how i can show the results in a GUI/leaderboard?

[coral field]

leaderstats

[vital parrot]

gonna try posting this again, my projectiles dont detect any parts when at high speeds

looks correct to me but I could be missing something

[wise meadow]

if anyone needs a dev dm me 🙂

[ocean yacht]

dm me if u script i have a game idea & 200k in ads u get 50-60% of the game 60 max 50 min. u must be intermediate +. i do userinterface modelling and other stuff too so all that would be taken care of

[gritty briar]

someone give me a scripting challenge no combat stuff please

[solar acorn]

game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.SpawnBall.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    local humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    local ball = game.ServerStorage.Models["1_Ball"]:Clone()
    ball.Parent = workspace
    ball.CFrame = humanoid.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 10, -3)
end)```

How would I make the ball fall slower?

[solar acorn]

i was bored so i searched some challanges and found one - volleyball systems. e.g press g to spawn a ball then features to hit the ball etc. literally, im doing it now LOL

[gritty briar]

sounds fun

[silent relic]

from where do big roblox studios get their devs

[little rose]

https://tenor.com/view/oiia-cat-gif-14934872872258635476

[spare laurel]

dark web

[misty cloak]

Ive been making silly little projects in roblox until now and i want to make a game but i dont know whats the most optimal way to structure my game some people told me to use knit framework some people told me to just create my own framework anyone got any suggestions

[crisp falcon]

Put the values in leaderstats. Or make a gui for it and just update the gui when te values change. Also in the getasync function you are saying: “getsucces” and “currentgold” the currentgold is supposed to be an error message

[quiet creek]

anyone want free pixel art? 👅

[lunar sky]

yes yes yes

[quiet creek]

dm me, if i have free time ill do it

[lunar sky]

oof, i forgot that my pfp is already pixelated lol

[trim wind]

How do you people even understand this language?

[solar acorn]

how to adjust animation speed

[lunar tundra]

anyone know how to fix this

4th line

[bleak glade]

use Include

instead of whitelist

[lunar tundra]

k

[lunar tundra]

i did that but the thing i am trynna do is not working i am trynna make a skill for "e" when i test it nothing happens

[bleak glade]

? but thats not the same issue you just presented to me

[lunar tundra]

ik i thought that was the error

[gray maple]

IF ANYBODY NEEDS A FREE CODER THAT DOESNT TAKE % OR ROBUX DM @dark coral HE WILL CODE A WHOLE GAME FOR YOU AND YOU TAKE ALL EARNINGS

[dark coral]

fake

[bleak glade]

whitelist is just deprecated its not actually an issue and would have worked anyway

[lunar tundra]

yeh i think sum els is worng in the scripts

[bleak glade]

so whats the issue

[lunar tundra]

i am following a tut but did everting similer but it iant workin

[gray maple]

white list is racist!!!

[bleak glade]

youre not even useing the raycast

[bleak glade]

there a blacklist too so dw

[gray maple]

no that's more racist

blacklist being parts to be ignored

https://tenor.com/view/geeked-locked-in-angry-bubu-red-bird-red-gif-13807202352659823415

[bleak glade]

then use exclude and include so its not racist

[gray maple]

yeah

the sole reason

I still use blacklist tho

[lunar tundra]

basically this is what i made fore m1 now i am doing similler with E key for a skill but when i pree e it does not work

[bleak glade]

ok butg where is the actual remote being used

on the server with this module

[lunar tundra]

wdym (coding for fst time 🙏 )

[bleak glade]

you must actualyl be using this module somewhere

[lunar tundra]

i am using moduelescripts, if that helps

[bleak glade]

that was obvious

but it must still be used on the server as it doesnt run by itself

[lunar tundra]

these are all i am using

[gray maple]

you said you scripted first time

yeahh buddy

[bleak glade]

this is not a first time scripting setup but ok

[lunar tundra]

coping a vid

[gray maple]

bruh

cooked

you're following on how to build a rocket

[lunar tundra]

i was just tryna make a skill for fun

[bleak glade]

but you dont know what youre doing

[lunar tundra]

ig...

but u learn from doing shi.....

so i was like y not

[wise meadow]

anyone needs a scripter feel free to dm.

[lunar tundra]

guess ill figure this out

[hallow crag]

ur doing FireMove(player, data, "Movement")

somewhere

u need to change it to "Combat" or "TestSkillSet"

[lunar tundra]

i should do testskillset/

clm

[copper apex]

Dont copy vid try on ur own

[lunar tundra]

i am only making this cuz my frind made a beamvfx i was like y not make a skill

so thats y

[copper apex]

If u copy vid, u wont truly grasp the code

[lunar tundra]

i never did scripting i main modeling

[hallow crag]

real ur just copying code word for word

and not learning anything

[copper apex]

Yes

[raven cloak]

guys does anyone know why this script isnt working?

[midnight wigeon]

how much rbx is it okay to charge for scripting a gun in First-person Shooter ?

[hallow crag]

add a for _, player in players:GetPlayers() do

above

just send the code here

ill fix

[raven cloak]

alr, but after can you explain it to me

[hallow crag]

yeah ok

[raven cloak]

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local gui = script.Parent.Parent
local label = script.Parent
local guiText = label.Text

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
print("Player has joined experience!")
gui.Parent = player.Head
guiText = player.Name
end)

[hallow crag]

local gui = script.Parent.Parent
local label = script.Parent
local guiText = label.Text

local function CharacterAdded(character)
    local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")
   
    gui.Parent = head
    guiText = player.Name
end

if player.Character then CharacterAdded(player.Character) end

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(CharacterAdded)```

that should fix it

[copper apex]

I would do that on the server

[hallow crag]

then why r u using localplayer

and a localscript

😭

[raven cloak]

huh

im not doing on server

[copper apex]

?

[swift blaze]

who want to make a script for 2 dollars

[copper apex]

Thats not my script

[hallow crag]

oh got mixed up with the names

mb

[copper apex]

Why

[hallow crag]

if u need the name to display for everyone

then u needa do on server

[copper apex]

Yeah

[raven cloak]

inexperienced. Also, just testing.

and can someone explain what difference it makes when using for loop

[copper apex]

Um.... but you would want to do it on the server though

Otherwise clients can play around with the display

[raven cloak]

alr fine 😠

[copper apex]

Im not forcing you 😭

Its just a good practice

You dont want things like that on the client otherwise players can tweak the information shown on the display

And put some bad words

It wont show for other players but still

[raven cloak]

ok im doing it

[hallow crag]

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local billboardTemplate = ReplicatedStorage.Billboard

local function playerAdded(player)
    local function characterAdded(character)
        local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")

        local billboard = billboardTemplate:Clone()
        billboard.Parent = head 
        billboard.TextLabel.Text = player.Name
    end
    
    if player.Character then characterAdded(player.Character) end 

    player.characterAdded:Connect(characterAdded) 
end

for _, player in players:GetPlayers() do playerAdded(player) end 

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(playerAdded)```

u would do something like that

[raven cloak]

yeah

[hallow crag]

make sure to place the billboard in rep storage

[raven cloak]

thats why im doing rn

just tweakin the code

[hallow crag]

firstly u needa use a script

not a localscript

[raven cloak]

i am

[hallow crag]

and the script needs to be in serverscriptservice

not the billboard

😭

[hallow crag]

alr good

[raven cloak]

bro im not that dumb, but fair enough

[hallow crag]

also u cant use localplayer

on the server

😭

[raven cloak]

ohh shi

[hallow crag]

just do what i did

[raven cloak]

😭

thanks bro

still such a novice. Also need to learn tweens :/

[celest river]

any ideas?
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/optimization-suggestions-networking-stats-review/3659274

[hallow crag]

np

[hallow crag]

yeah tweens are pretty neat

just a tip never tween on the server

[raven cloak]

why? what happens

[hallow crag]

its just bad for peformance

if u need a tween to appear for all the players

then u needa

fire to all the clients

to play a tween

[raven cloak]

oh alright. Also can you just explain which parts are the servers and which is the client?

Because i watched a video and i still dont understand it

[hallow crag]

server scripts (the greyish scripts) normally go in serverscriptservice

local scripts (the blue scripts)

normally go in starterplayerscripts

or startercharacterscripts

[raven cloak]

oh so are those the sprint scripts and the other player specific scripts

[hallow crag]

any code running in a serverscript is the server

any code running in a localscript

is the client

[raven cloak]

👍

[hallow crag]

and then to communicate between the server and the client

[raven cloak]

remote events

[hallow crag]

u can use remote events/remote functions

[pulsar acorn]

do u guys ever attach scripts to a part? ive never seen myself do it

[hallow crag]

nah never

i just use one script

[raven cloak]

yeah for killbricks and stuff but thats pretty much it

[hallow crag]

and use collection service

[hallow crag]

😭

just add a tag to each killbrick

and use 1 script

[raven cloak]

damn

[pulsar acorn]

yea xd

[raven cloak]

WHY AM I BEING TOLD THIS NOW??

bro i feel like such a noob 0-0

[hallow crag]

lol dw

experienced scripters do the same thing

its weird

[raven cloak]

oh so its fine

[hallow crag]

not really

[raven cloak]

is it good for optimizing?

[hallow crag]

if u dont care about a messy codebase

and peformance

[raven cloak]

when using collection service

[hallow crag]

then go ahead

[raven cloak]

??

[hallow crag]

yeah

[raven cloak]

alr

thats good then

[hallow crag]

u can just grab all the parts

in 1 for loop

and add the .Touched

event

it also saves time from having to go to each script in each part

[raven cloak]

true, what do you think of this ability? do you think i can make a game out of this? Obviously, I can make it look better down the line but do you think its a good mechanic?

to do this i use a folder and parts inside

[hallow crag]

its a good start

[raven cloak]

i could use collection service instead

[hallow crag]

but its basically just noclip

[raven cloak]

yeah ig

the only thing im average at is animation and modelling

[hallow crag]

u can either for loop through the folder or use collection service

its ur choice

[raven cloak]

yeaah i could

do you think i can post my thumbnail here to show for progress and for any thoughts?

[hallow crag]

yeah animations aint that bad but modelling hell nah

[raven cloak]

fr modelling is hell

[hallow crag]

i mean if u want

[raven cloak]

alr

[hallow crag]

its a public chat lol

[raven cloak]

this is meant for a tutorial on how to make thumbnails

i think its quite good but idk

its decent enough for the video im making

[hallow crag]

better then what i can do lmao

[bronze depot]

Yo, someone to make a new game ? i already have the first prototype which need ideas and improvements, my first game has made over 5m revenues in months, DM me for the prototype link

[raven cloak]

do you think i can get commissions for this? I want to build all of my skills up and gain actual experience. Also, It would be a good place to improve my skills

[hot meadow]

Anyone have some recommendations of what to do I am learning Lua and i have some experience with c# and i notice it is a little bit the same but now I am stuck because i watched some tutorial but don't think I have the knolage to built something decent what should I try now?

[hallow crag]

u could it really depends how good you are

and how good your reputation is

[raven cloak]

make a test place and just mess around. Get tools from the toolbox and analyse different parts of the script. Also, stay concistent

[raven cloak]

yea all people look for are cartoony artists.

bit sad tbf

[hot meadow]

thanks man appriciate it

[raven cloak]

dont worry, also dont go for too ambitious projects. If you can't script it then it can really de-motivate you and make you want to quit!

[hot meadow]

yea I am noticing that lol

[wide socket]

i think this could pretty cool if you make it so for other people you look a little transparent

while using phase

[raven cloak]

yeah that could work.

It could be like superhot or for other cool stuff

[wide socket]

if you need help dont mind asking fr

[raven cloak]

Yea maybe

I don’t mind

Can do team create, just I have school and that. So I won’t be that active

[wide socket]

sure

[alpine scarab]

Guys is there any ban hammer with animation in toolbox?

I dont need the ban script just need the animation

[raven cloak]

okay whats your user

also do you want to add on dms?

@wide socket

[wide socket]

i mean

its my user 😭

[raven cloak]

oh ok

[green wraith]

which is worse 💔

better reading on the left for me but i need other opinions

[raven cloak]

ive added you as a friend on discord

How should I do projectile hit detection?? mine sometimes goes through walls

I'm using Raycasting and cframe rn

I tried both on server and client and it still goes through

My projectiles are going pretty fast but It still should be detecting the dang wall

[mental pond]

Do you think AI can be a good tool with helping to learn scripting

Well i mean i do know the basics of coding and I dont want to use it to make a whole game. I mean as in using it to fix busted code and give pointers when needed

[silver verge]

code of doom

[mental pond]

i am at a point where I want to go out and make small projects but dont know what to do when I hit a roadblock. Like I have no idea what to do or search up

id assume ai could help but I do hear that it might have more cons than pro when using

[dusky kestrel]

GPT is just unreliable most of the time

same with most AI

ask it to fix a gun and it'll spit out code on issues that weren't even issues while creating new errors

[dusky kestrel]

I suggest whenever you hit a roadblock just use the devforums

they usually have what you would need

besides like complicated things like

how to make advanced boats with Ai

[mental pond]

Alright dude ill try it

thanks

[native flare]

why is there never coding tutors in the tutor channel

[wide socket]

cause youtube exists 🔥

[steady spindle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[hallow linden]

how do people use rojo, it literally slowed down my workflow because I don't get to have instance suggestions

[dusky relic]

you set it up wrong

[hallow linden]

Lemme rephrase, I get some instance suggestions, but more often than not it just kinda sucks

like yay I get to use vscode

[dusky relic]

I use it on vim

[hallow linden]

but also I get to look through 2 different screens trying to create a script

[dusky relic]

???

wdym'

[hallow linden]

create script under part in studio, go back to vscode, forget what the stuff I wanted to reference is called so I go back to studio, see the stuff's name, back to vscode

[dusky relic]

oh...

uh

how long have you been scripting?@hallow linden

[hallow linden]

like a month or 2

[dusky relic]

I don't think you're advanced enough to have the need to use rojo

[hallow linden]

how so

[dusky relic]

I very rarely place any scripts in workspace.
I don't have the need to really go into roblox studio at all.
I also don't test my code until the very end 99% of the times

I don't have a purpose for the roblox studio IDE since all i really use it is to write code, the rest is just clutter.

[dusky relic]

during my workflow.

[hallow linden]

Well, I am making the entire game myself

at least for my hobbies

[jolly forge]

Yo! sorry to ask for assistance here but people in code help are busy in a debate or smth and don't seem keen on assisting. So yall mind helping me out with something? I am a bit new to coding but trying to make a simple currency system which I should be able to eventually learn to replicate easily.

[hallow linden]

so like, I do need to quite often go to Studio to do things

[hallow linden]

ok so, one thing programmers hate is asking to ask

[jolly forge]

oh mb I get that

[hallow linden]

but dw its something everyone does at some point

now

wdym "replicate" here?

[jolly forge]

imma just copy/paste what I sent in there

[jolly forge]

well the idea is to have a very player based econimy

[hallow linden]

yeah, tbh it was better to ask to ask here since its not quite a help channel lol. Go ahead

[jolly forge]

for the time being I want to make a simple npc store, should be easy enough, what I need to learn to replicate is how to "change the currency value"

but for now what is being absolutely awful, is jumping through hoops to make a backend that just simply "changes the gui number"

[versed sierra]

It’s not that hard

[jolly forge]

Yo anybody able to help me with a lil code? Struggling to make my gui change. trying to make a simple currency system, I have a + and a - button which should increase and decrease the currency amount. what I have so far is an event to take and add a "Skiddle" (my currency name). they work just fine and fire to the output box, but here is the server script which takes the input from the server event which for now for some reason does nothing.

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local AddSkiddleEvent = RS.AddSkiddleEvent
local TakeSkiddleEvent = RS.TakeSkiddleEvent
local SkiddleCountInstanceMade = false

AddSkiddleEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
if SkiddleCountInstanceMade == false then
local SkiddleCount = Instance.new("IntValue", player)
SkiddleCount.Name = "SkiddleCount"
SkiddleCountInstanceMade = true
end
local SkiddleCount = player.SkiddleCount
SkiddleCount.Value += 1
local SkiddleCountValue = game.Player.
wait(0.1)
end)

I am getting no errors but it just doesn't do anything, any tips?

[jolly forge]

I know, it really shouldnt be, but its being extremely difficult at the moment

[versed sierra]

Is this a currency system?

[jolly forge]

well this is just to make the instance then change the currency amount

wait this doesnt look right

[versed sierra]

lol

[dusky relic]

@jolly forge Did you chatgpt the code..

[jolly forge]

no

I am just a bit new and frankenstein'ed it together ;-;

its literally supposed to be a button which increases the amount of skiddles which is the currency

[versed sierra]

So your making a currency system

[jolly forge]

yes

why is it making an instance every time the button is pressed

[versed sierra]

I know how to make a currency stat in the leaderboards section

[jolly forge]

wtf is this😭

[versed sierra]

Not to change gui yet

I’m fairly new as well

[hallow linden]

idk about lua but to me it looks like you are assigning the value of player.SkiddleCount to SkiddleCount, then changing SkiddleCount, which does not change the player's count because you modified a copy of it

[versed sierra]

Nice

[jolly forge]

ok lemme wrap my head around this

so

shoot one moment brb

[hallow linden]

what you are implicitly telling lua is "see that box over there? Make a clone of its contents, then put it in this new box. Then, change the contents of the new box"

[jolly forge]

ok gotcha

what I want to do is connect the string value once is it made in the player, then just edit that every time that I want to take money away or give it

hmmm

honestly what I have so far looks so ungodly overcomplicated and janky, there has to be a way I can make this jank-free
