[dusky kestrel]

Should I create my own input system or port my input to the IAS system?

[uneven jolt]

Alright I need yall's opinion
making a grab move, should I

• Do the hitbox on the server, keeping protection but if the player turns during the move the hitbox will be delayed
• Do it on the client, binding it to the animation keyframe, but risk it being delayed if it takes that player longer (Right now, it plays the animation on all clients seperately in order to bind VFX to keyframe reached)
  I currently have the server system right now and it is slightly noticeable

[lone fossil]

whats the easiest way to start learning?

[proper bridge]

Watch hiatus

[lone fossil]

who’s that

[scenic moon]

people just be naming themselves after nouns and verbs bro 😭

holy edit merchant

[proper bridge]

@scenic moon Nah word LMAO

it’s a YouTuber

Js search hiatus code tutorials

[lone fossil]

alr

[pure wind]

How relevant is quantum computing to making Roblox. Games

[fast radish]

everyone should i watch dev kings advanced tutorial or begenner tutorial

[lime laurel]

not even close

too many things need to be made before its beneficial

[pure wind]

was a joke question

anyways

I wonder how many print statements I can fit in my mouth

[lime laurel]

swing and a miss

[pure wind]

Yk what would be really awesome

Actually nvm it can’t be achieved in Roblox

what if Roblox had python instead

Hmmmm I wonddd

Wonder

Probably wouldn’t be the same game

[rapid slate]

awful GC and slower execution speed

• most libaries and capabilities are just redundant for roblox

[jaunty path]

idk i didnt really learn anything from it i had a much easier time just reading free model scripts instead

[fast radish]

thats def a new one

[jaunty path]

cuz it shows you different ways of structuring scripts (well depends on the free models you view)

theres the spaghetti code then theres the code with 90 module scripts embedded in

[fast radish]

how would you know what each one does tho

[jaunty path]

documentation

or just like.. read the title of the script if it has any

[sonic juniper]

is there a way yall do npc replication?

is it that yall place the npc on the server and do the checks on the server

or do you only have a position and approximate it on the server, while the client interpolates values

or do yall send values frequently

i watched suphi kaner's video on npc replication

[sonic juniper]

but im not sure if this is what i should really do, because it makes combat harder since the npc is rarely standing still in one place for the server to register it as a "hit"

[solemn whale]

where would you guys recommend how to script?

[prime cave]

i got bored so i made a replica with a 3d decal of the spawn location. 😭

scripted it too. idk why i made this.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local humrootpart = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local spawnLoc = script.Parent
char:PivotTo(spawnLoc.CFrame)
end)
end)

[sonic juniper]

Yt

[grim cipher]

YouTube or u can get a tutor

[rapid slate]

that's ong next level bored

[wintry ore]

can someone script a speed o meter for my bike game i will pay usd (cashapp/paypal)

[vital parrot]

https://gyazo.com/754744698ca6753081d15c34b63a5daa

How do I make my third person look better? it looked weird going up and down

[vital parrot]

how much?

[prime cave]

wahhahaa

[proper oxide]

the upper torso looking up and down

[empty siren]

shi mb gang for the 4 day response the soccer system all ive made is a welding system

[vital parrot]

so rotate the torso?

[proper oxide]

yes looking at the cameras direction

while the feet stays on the ground

[vital parrot]

ok ill try that

[shrewd python]

How can I get the script to find one of the two on if section?

for example

if text == "IfChar" or "IfBackpack" then

it would search one of the two, and if statement is true, they would run, but only one of them will work which is IfChar, How can i fix it?

[proper oxide]

if text == "IfChar" or text == "IfBackpack" then

[gloomy kettle]

Who is a legit scripter?

[kindred stream]

wdym

[gloomy kettle]

Just looking for someone to work part time on my game.
That isnt a person you hire then they dont work, or take partial payment and dont do anything for a week.

[keen flare]

Hey, i've gotten to a point with my scripting knowledge where I think I can make a decent amount of things, Any tips on what I should learn past the fundamentals? (I'm looking into oop and frameworks rn)

[sudden estuary]

back to square one?

tsk tsk thats awful

[sonic ruin]

whats the best method of learning lua for ADVANCE scripts

[sudden estuary]

learn

practice

10% learn 90% practice

[slender yew]

real

deadass just typing the shit u can copy

making the subconscious connections

[ember nimbus]

there are no tools in the shed that are inherently advanced

if you know the tools you can do 'advanced' projects

but there are no advanced tools

raycasts and whatnot (thinks that i think are often considered 'advanced' by new programmers) are really simple if you know other things like instances and vectors

[proper oxide]

dissecting codes posted on devforum

[real rapids]

What’s your current script look like, that controls this 3rd person stuff (paste pls)?

[sonic ruin]

i wanna do like combat system and shi

this playlist aint working out for m

me

[sudden solstice]

do yoy guys still only use studio

or include rojo and git too? to organise code

[gray maple]

Rojo and git goated

but the last time I tried using it on a team create, it's broken

[somber vault]

Me lol

[somber vault]

how? it works fine for me

[gray maple]

really?

I ran into some internal problems

must be unlucky

[somber vault]

Ye

[sudden solstice]

thanks

[plush helm]

give me your fast track study guide for LUAU

[tame compass]

what's that

[proven depot]

uh

its not showing the particles 🙏

[lost pebble]

parent the ParticleEmitters under the part. not the attachment

probably wont work but worth a shot

[proven depot]

k

[sonic mist]

We are also Looking for an experienced scripter for make a hide or die related game

[hoary cedar]

With what pay?

[sonic mist]

Dms

[hoary cedar]

You can make a statement here

A simple answer

[lost pebble]

you can also trying checking if the properties are right (like if the speed and such is actually set to something that's not 0)

[sonic mist]

300k+50k if donw well

[hoary cedar]

Alright. DM me with the GDD

[proven depot]

the first thing you sed didnt work

[sonic mist]

Done

[proven depot]

and also

i tired using the script some where else and it worked

maybe if you could take a look at the whole script?

[lost pebble]

had a feeling

[lost pebble]

where is it rn and where did you move it to?

[proven depot]

its a slash

[real rapids]

[proven depot]

so like the hrp

wierd thing is when i enable it

it shows it but uh it looks bad i want to emit it

full script btw

[real rapids]

[lost pebble]

im not sure why it's not emitting. we know it's reaching it by the print statement printing. so idk why it wouldnt emit it

[clever pecan]

is anyone famillar with datastore editor plugins? Any rececomendations on which one to use / buy?

[lost pebble]

where did you move the script that it worked?

btw, i would try having vfx and animations on the client and not the server

[proven depot]

hmmm

but

other players should be able to see it

[sudden estuary]

there's a free one

data delve or smth

was pretty good for my usage

[kindred stream]

yes

[sudden estuary]

easy to find keys and edits

[kindred stream]

theres a free one

[proven depot]

guys if i do animation and vfx on client side other players arent gonna see it right

[kindred stream]

yes

[sudden estuary]

nope

[proven depot]

alr thanks

[glacial kestrel]

more spider stuff

it’s been really fun to make

it uses procedural animations

[sudden estuary]

very cool

[kindred stream]

make it bit slow

[sudden estuary]

maybe make him slower

[glacial kestrel]

I like how it tries you jump you 😭

it’s a test anyway

[sudden estuary]

just for showcase atleast so we see the animation better

[sudden estuary]

make it lay eggs inside you

[kindred stream]

is this bad lol

[lost pebble]

you would have every client run the same script (like having the local script under StarterCharacterScripts)

[glacial kestrel]

slower

[kindred stream]

👍

[sudden estuary]

yes animations looks very nice

u r the ik from yesterday right?

[glacial kestrel]

yeah

I’ve been experimenting

[kindred stream]

the naturality in procedural animations is best

[glacial kestrel]

legs kinda like jello though

[proven depot]

oh

well it is under there

[lost pebble]

so i would just make the switch from a server to a local script

[proven depot]

but the hitbox and stuff should still be on server right

[hoary cedar]

God damn terrifying

[sudden estuary]

it lays eggs inside you

[lost pebble]

depends. if you want it to be basically exploit proof, yeah. but this might cause latency and such

[sudden estuary]

hitbox can be handled on client too

[proven depot]

hmmmm

so if i do it on server it gonna coz lag but exploit proof?

erm

[lost pebble]

if you implment it correctly and they cant abuse your remotes

[kindred stream]

seriously whts the point f hacking in rblx

[proven depot]

being retarterd 🙏

[kindred stream]

yh

[proven depot]

oh alr

[kindred stream]

like man go learn real cyber security and earn

[proven depot]

hmmm imgonna move them onto client scrip t

the game is alr laggy so i dont want scripts to make it worse

oh the particle is emitting ;D

yipe

[lost pebble]

that's basically the number 1 reason to have things like animations and vfx on the client. it takes strain off the server

[lost pebble]

nice

[proven depot]

ty 🙏

[lost pebble]

you're welcome

[proven depot]

btw do you think if i use mesh vfx for the slash

it will look better i think

[sudden estuary]

to have advantage in games?

[lost pebble]

idk what mesh vfx are

[proven depot]

but its not gonna be fun

[proven depot]

oh

leme send example

oh it doesnt let me send link

erm

[lost pebble]

ill look it up

[proven depot]

wait illsend it to you on dms

[hallow crag]

its fun + why not

[lost pebble]

quite a few reasons. main one being you ruin the experience for others (assuming you're doing those types of exploits)

[sonic ruin]

do yall use roblox studio or visual studio

[lost pebble]

rs

i dont see a point using vs

[hallow crag]

developing anticheats is fun so idm exploiters tbf

[lost pebble]

if you're developing an anitcheat, you care to an extent

[hallow crag]

if they are ruining my games then ofc i care

[sonic juniper]

chat

if you working w smb who scripts with uh

[tardy pasture]

link ur game i wanna test my own scripts 😉

[sonic juniper]

vs code then integrates it

(i guess they integrate it with wally/rojo or whatever its called)

[tardy pasture]

yes rojo why ?

[sonic juniper]

how do you work in tandem w them

as a person who doesnt use vs code at all

[tardy pasture]

wdym tandem ?

[sonic juniper]

like with them

[tardy pasture]

u mean together in 1 script ?

[sonic juniper]

no like

organizing an entire game

is it more difficult at all?

[tardy pasture]

no ?

[sonic juniper]

oh i guess i just dont understand rojo then

[kindred stream]

whats the point of using vs code

[sonic juniper]

i presume ppl are more familiar with it

coming into roblox

[tardy pasture]

sound fancy

[kindred stream]

lol

[tardy pasture]

ngl i use sometimes vs studio

[kindred stream]

then js call roblox studio

rs code

[tardy pasture]

but only if i aint at home

[sonic juniper]

rah

i wanna learn wth full stack scripting is

but ion wanna research rn

[tardy pasture]

front end and back end

[sonic juniper]

mhm

and fe is just ...?

[tardy pasture]

i prefer doing back end in roblox games

i hate scripting ui (front end )

[sonic juniper]

oh so

[tardy pasture]

thos dumb ahh tweens

[sonic juniper]

fe is stuff like tweens

replication

occlusion

etc?

[tardy pasture]

back end is like data etc etc

same

[sonic juniper]

?

[kindred stream]

ts pmo icl

[tardy pasture]

well i mean i am learning to create websites from scratch

i hate php the most it just doesnt make any sense at all

[kindred stream]

y

[sonic juniper]

for port?

[kindred stream]

its easier

[tardy pasture]

port ?

[sonic juniper]

portfolio

[tardy pasture]

tf is port

oh kinda

i accendently stumbled on this college

[sonic juniper]

dont you gotta pay to have webstes up?

[tardy pasture]

and now i am stuck in it

[sonic juniper]

stumbled is crazy

[kindred stream]

btw the wireframe is enabled

[tardy pasture]

i get 3 for free using combell

[kindred stream]

yh

netlify.app is best

[sonic juniper]

mmm

[kindred stream]

no its common

[sonic juniper]

oh okay

[tardy pasture]

we gotta secure the payements dont we

[kindred stream]

90% of roblox devs use carrd

[sonic juniper]

does that mean its good orr

is it just for rblx

a website maker ig?

for portfolios for eg

hm

not to glaze but

i saw someone's who used carrd

https://cortexrbx.carrd.co/# @south prism sorry for ping but

free promo ig?

his looks p good

[kindred stream]

idk tht thing tht makes portfolios

[sonic juniper]

really?

[tardy pasture]

btw guys yall know where i can find investors for my game ( i need 100 k bobux )

[sonic juniper]

so what do you mean by pretty

sure

maybe an ASCII donut rotating

[kindred stream]

mate get me comm pls 🙏

[sonic juniper]

or some sort of ASCII anim

[kindred stream]

i like the uniqueness

[sonic juniper]

i was boutta say

[kindred stream]

cool

[sonic juniper]

hm

so youre saying

for it to be pretty its not like

the efficiency but rather the quality/love they put into it?

[tardy pasture]

guys cmon where can i find investors ?

[kindred stream]

idk

[sonic juniper]

wrong chat i think

[tardy pasture]

there is no chat

[kindred stream]

🔥

how much r u charging?

[tardy pasture]

all those youtubers be like u gotta find an investor WHERE TF DO I FIND ONE

[kindred stream]

damn bro thts a steal for free

[sonic juniper]

well obv

just like getting hired as a scripter

you need a portfolio right?

so to find an investor

[tardy pasture]

there is no investor hiring thingy

[sonic juniper]

you need evidence to them

[kindred stream]

hmm

[sonic juniper]

creations bru

[tardy pasture]

i got an entire game

[sonic juniper]

post it then

in creations and maybe you'll get lucky

[tardy pasture]

wich is about to release after bug fixes

[kindred stream]

btw wanna join vitaxia (development studio) 🫠

[sonic juniper]

and an investor see it

[kindred stream]

roblox game electron apps and websites

[sonic juniper]

but rmb

[kindred stream]

r what we make

https://vitaxia.netlify.app

[sonic juniper]

theres a difference between advertising your game and posting screenshots of it @tardy pasture

cuz advertising is banned in creations

[kindred stream]

khe khe

is it good?

me

[tardy pasture]

dont tell me u wouldnt wanna play this game :

just the thumbnail from my game

[kindred stream]

ai gen 🥀

[sonic juniper]

this is beautiful

[tardy pasture]

sush i aint rich

[sonic juniper]

i love it

yall gon go far fr

[kindred stream]

?

[sonic juniper]

especially if you branch out of roblox

[kindred stream]

thnx

[kindred stream]

im

[sonic juniper]

not my cup of tea bru 🥀

[kindred stream]

i dont folllow tutorials

[sonic juniper]

bet

you good then

[idle badge]

dope website! i would love if the little circles would pop out even if the mouse stays still

[tardy pasture]

a pirate game ??? ur more a dress to impress player huh ?

[kindred stream]

noted

[sonic juniper]

nu bru

then itd be too much

you gotta balance it yfm

[kindred stream]

they are boring asf and i ;like uniqueness not to follow something a million others r

[idle badge]

naah, its just a little blue circle

[kindred stream]

man i hardly saw a color theory video

[sonic juniper]

"❌" --shut up

[kindred stream]

i can see

[sonic juniper]

might help

[kindred stream]

i hab magik

[idle badge]

lmao, no hard feelings brother

[sonic juniper]

i wanted to say syaub but i cant

should both fe and back end be a must for all scripters?

like back end seems like the more fun aspect

while fe is just regular indie game dev stuff

[tardy pasture]

it is

[idle badge]

fe and be of websites? absolutely not, ui and backend in lua of roblox games then absolutely!

[sonic juniper]

bro

stuff like ray marching or bezier funcs

[tardy pasture]

fe on games is so repetetive

[sonic juniper]

nah for games

websites is a bit much

icl

[kindred stream]

what part of backend is fun duh

[tardy pasture]

evrything

[idle badge]

for games then yeah, a competent scripter should be able to do both, i also find back end more fun

[sonic juniper]

bro theres stuff that teaches this on the internet

[tardy pasture]

i just hate tweening the ui in games

so annoying

[kindred stream]

ui verse is goat

for inspiration

[sonic juniper]

all yu gotta do is have fun

creating

lowk scripting is like art

[sonic juniper]

wytb?

[idle badge]

the problem solving aspect and the performance optimization, front end is mostly the same stuff, it is more rewarding because you actually see progress but back end is way more interesting from like an alghoritmic pov

[idle badge]

programming is like art

[sonic juniper]

.

[kindred stream]

its a website

[sonic juniper]

hm but you can just extrapolate

the learned knowledge like u clearly did

[tardy pasture]

programming is like war thunder if i think about it its nice if i do it its giving me braindamage

[sonic juniper]

very calm bru

no bru

[kindred stream]

willi get banned for hiring ppl in chat?

[sonic juniper]

nah

[tardy pasture]

yes

[idle badge]

people do that all of the time, you might get some "desperate" comment in the chat tho

should look into the hiring channels

[kindred stream]

its too ahrd to get the damn thing accepted

[sonic juniper]

yeah

[tardy pasture]

use chatgpt

hell give u a good form

[sonic juniper]

luas dynamic vs any other language's static

is a p sharp jump

then pushing in cpp i hear is bad too

[sonic juniper]

amen

[tardy pasture]

we were talking about getting his form accepted not programming

[idle badge]

naah why so?

[feral sage]

is there any anti cheat to prevent exploiters from using saveinstance() and saving your game?

[sonic juniper]

im agreeing

[sonic juniper]

what does it do?

saveinstance()

[feral sage]

saves all your client scripts

and your game

[kindred stream]

idk they always reject for some stupid reason

[feral sage]

like everything, but the server scripts cant be decompiled

[tardy pasture]

there is not really a way to protect things on the client side

[sonic juniper]

well i think that just comes down to organization

[feral sage]

well yea

[idle badge]

unfortunate

[sonic juniper]

but i doubt

ive seen the

entire deepwoken map

in smb's studio

if it cld happen to deepwoken it'll happen to every game

[kindred stream]

well u can constantly check for changes in client side and revert theme

[feral sage]

yeah

but

[sonic juniper]

besides obfuscation*

[sonic juniper]

but that's hell

[feral sage]

even if they like get the client scripts

they still got the whole map

[tardy pasture]

i believe exploiters can stop the constant checking cant they ?

[sonic juniper]

well too bad so sad

bro just make the game so good

[feral sage]

[sonic juniper]

that they wanna come back

[tardy pasture]

only thing an exploiter cant get is inside serverscript service and serverstorage

[sonic juniper]

and not steal and try their own thing

[feral sage]

yea

i mean in erlc

they invented some anti cheat

[tardy pasture]

all the other stuff they can do what they want with it

[kindred stream]

time for roblox to add firewall

[feral sage]

if you open any kind of third party app

[sonic juniper]

actually, maybe chat gpt can obfuscate code for you

[sonic juniper]

they're cracking down on allat

idk when but when they do itll be headlines

fs

[feral sage]

they invented some ban api?

[sonic juniper]

?

[feral sage]

i saw that recently

[tardy pasture]

yes

[sonic juniper]

inventing* im p sure

[feral sage]

oh

[tardy pasture]

its the same as :kick but then instead :ban

[feral sage]

ohh

aight

[sonic juniper]

did you mean a hardcoded anti-cheat

or just literal ban api?

[feral sage]

yeah

[sonic juniper]

oh

[feral sage]

hardcoded

[sonic juniper]

yeah inventing then

[tardy pasture]

hardcoded ?

[sonic juniper]

p sure its this

[tardy pasture]

roblox itself handles bans now

[sonic juniper]

no bro

[tardy pasture]

yes

[sonic juniper]

like to protect games agains

stuff like saveinstance()

[feral sage]

i mean alot of executors bypass byfron l

[sonic juniper]

or whatever other executers

they're making either a system/lib for devs to use OR its hardcoded

p sure byfron is hardcoded so whatever they're inventing rn would also be hardcoded

[feral sage]

thats nice then

[sonic juniper]

idk if they'll ever get to it

[sonic mist]

@hoary cedar Chevk Your Dmss

[sonic juniper]

but they're also making server authoritative movement

so stuff like chickynoid but >>>

since chickynoid only works with amazing ping

[feral sage]

great then

[idle badge]

that's impossible to protect against

[tardy pasture]

jk i got the best anticheat ever in my game

[idle badge]

you need to send that information to clients no matter what

[tardy pasture]

i put a label in the players ui with

[sonic juniper]

idk what hackers use thats just the first exploit that came to mind

what funcs they can use i mean*

[tardy pasture]

if u exploit = gay

[feral sage]

lol

[tardy pasture]

never got any exploiters

[sonic juniper]

right, now

[feral sage]

idek what executors they inventin atm

like nezur bypasses byfron

solara and others got cooked

[sonic juniper]

its like rock paper scissors atp

[feral sage]

fr

[sonic juniper]

can u explain wth full stack is?

[feral sage]

uhh

a person that can develop

[feral sage]

both client and server

[sonic juniper]

?

oh

wth is lua stack then

like some errors output wrong stack or sum i think

and wth is a VM / virtual manager

[feral sage]

idek

[smoky cipher]

not possible and will never be possible to prevent that

[sonic juniper]

so im p sure i saw sum like

theres two types of stacks

one where data is taken from the top

the other where its taken from the bottom

wth is that then

?

ahh

[feral sage]

if roblox makes byfron unbypassable maybe at that time it will be preventable

[sonic juniper]

yeah you right im misremembering it

i have so much to talk about bro

do yall know how rell seas did their ship combat?

i have an idea

where the ship/platform/whatever moves using a parametric eqn

[smoky cipher]

It's not possbile to make byfron unbypassable as long as the game is running on your computer

[sonic juniper]

the server approximates the clients pos, and the client smoothens out their pos

and the same for all other replication (like the ship itself)

[feral sage]

then our games cooked

[smoky cipher]

nah

[feral sage]

how

[smoky cipher]

theres nothing wrong with exploiters, if an exploiter is able to somehow hurt another players experience its the developers fault

[feral sage]

the game is singleplayer my only worry is if someone saves my game

idc if they use flying cheats or noclip and that

[idle badge]

but roblox should still do their best to prevent them, or at least make an effort

[feral sage]

yea

[smoky cipher]

you can probably come up where thats not the case but imo it is most of the time

[sonic juniper]

bro all games have cheaters

[feral sage]

fr

[sonic juniper]

[feral sage]

[sonic juniper]

even off roblox

[smoky cipher]

yeah for sure and they've been doing pretty good with that

wdym

[idle badge]

pretty decent, but they like bots, it helps with boosting the player count and its a marketing move for investors

[swift blaze]

skull

[sonic juniper]

?

mhm

mhm

mhm

[idle badge]

yeah, you could do that, but the checks for it should be on the server side, it should never happen

[smoky cipher]

the top simulators rn have so many bots its insane

bgsi and pet sim 99

[sonic juniper]

right

[idle badge]

fr fr phish too

[sonic juniper]

and middlewares are also used to verify a person is an exploiter?

oh so like

if they change their atk to be uncapped

that event would be sent?

or if they used an "uncapped" attack

thanks

ok

[smoky cipher]

js has the perfect syntax imo

[sonic juniper]

middleware makes a perfect name then

horror

[smoky cipher]

nah

I mean I'm not talking about the code I'm talking about like the languages syntax itself

[sonic juniper]

isnt this what i said though?

[sonic juniper]

or am i still confused?

yeah

not on the client obv

[smoky cipher]

Name a language that has better syntax

[sonic juniper]

only once they request a move to be done by doing the input

the middleware parses it

[smoky cipher]

So python too?

It’s just as easy as any high level language except it’s bad

[sonic juniper]

well i mean i thought you meant: "if a person does this restricted move while not being an admin, you could safely asusme they're an exploiter"

[smoky cipher]

it has white space scopes + no anonymous functions

[sonic juniper]

hm

so what i said only works if

the input sent to the server applies to them themselves

ohh

i get the disconnect

we were discribing two different scenarios

ok ok

lord

so middlewares perform intermediate checks to make sure something is valid

?

but they dont do more than that

so [client] /click -> [server middleware] parses input and verifies -> whatever condition done?

mhm

why is the organization of it important

isnt it just folders and ports?

imma watch like a 2 min vid and see if i get it

okay...

and MW is middleware

so it only checks to see if something went wrong

so youre clarifying that

middleware isnt necessarily client -> server? it can also be server -> server?

hm

so then

this is locally too?

which is why it cant be used to see if a person is an exploiter

.

hm

so then

OH

im dumb

you said it so many times and i didnt get it

the check is done on the client

.

then you know from the anti-cheat which is its own separate checks

that they're exploiting

okay,

is it bad then for an exploiter to see the checks performed?

i mean

yeah

is it?

mhm

right

like a whole system for giving attributes??

hm

if the edge case is this

why not make a system for devs to use

then if they dont

thats a strike/ban

thats apart of the system too

mhm

mhm

mhm

so?

real 😭

im saying bruh

every time its some genius

but okay

what i was doing before

was for each change possible

[sonic juniper]

have the server detect the discrepancy

mmm

no like the server script

itself checks once the event is sent off

ion get wym then

exactly

thats why what ur saying is game fr

where did you learn ts

was there llike a big forum post or sum that details more abt stuff?

how did you learn about

these paradigms

hm

id need to know what check is done

and get past it

its like the fact that players can respawn but bosses only get 1 death

hm

besides middlewares

(and ports are made automatically by roblox im p sure)

oh so this by itself is 1 paradigm?

can you like

lay it out for me

mhm

which is all in the res/resolve func

?

oh

mhm

[hoary cedar]

Asynchronous functions are functions which take time to produce an output. To prevent the script from yielding, it returns a promise of an output. That promise can be used to prepare for the output upon its arrivial, and for any issues that may arrise during its preparation

You can opt in to yield via the await keyword

[sonic juniper]

okay great

what are functions call that run on a different thread

i thought thats what async meant

[hoary cedar]

They're synchronous functions

[sonic juniper]

like coroutines

[hoary cedar]

Asynchronous means non-simultaneous. Hence why a promise is involved to prevent the script from yielding (stopping)

[sonic juniper]

they run on a different "thread" of the cpu

[hoary cedar]

They don't

[sonic juniper]

ion have a set definition for what a thread is

[quiet creek]

stfu

[sonic juniper]

then what do they do?

if coroutines are sync.

then they run on the same thread i presume?

(still dk what a thread is)

nope

is it the same thing?

and you handle the error however you do right?

so what do you do?

[hoary cedar]

Coroutines are Luau's asynchronous functions. They are pseudo-simultaneous. They're based on the cooperatively multitasked threads. These threads are more abstract than code divided out onto CPU cores. In cooperative multitasking, only one thread of execution exists at any given time, as all code is being ran on a single core. These threads can choose to yield (pause), relinquishing the execution spotlight. This is done to signify downtime, such as when making an API request that can take time to be met with a response. While the thread is yielding, another thread is resumed so work can continue to be done during that downtime

@sonic juniper

[sonic juniper]

so the equivalent of time-sharing processing?

[hoary cedar]

Think of it like heating food in a microwave. Normally, you'd wait until the food is heated, then move onto doing something else. With cooperative multitasking, you do something else while you wait for your food to heat

[sonic juniper]

mhm

so a thread is abstract because

the main thread is always time

[hoary cedar]

We do this in real life, so its time-saving properties is measureable. This is what gives the impression of simultaneous code execution

[sonic juniper]

but we do different things at different points in time

and for async functions that yeild

we have alot of time to do extra stuff

?

well

right

of course

because thats just another way of it yeilding?

mhm

how does that relate to this though?

mhm

mhm

mhm

mhm

which is what a promise is used for

which is what

the guy was aying

[sonic juniper]

.

[sonic juniper]

.

[sonic juniper]

.

im p sure we all said the same thing 😭

hm

so

the top one

prints yo cuh ---3secs---> meow

wait not

mb

yk what i meant bro

[hoary cedar]

This. This just pisses me off

I wish languages would provide better support for thread-yielding

It's just ugly

[sonic juniper]

wth is a thread then

if its so abstract

[hoary cedar]

At least make the function more objective

This is my biggest issue with coding. These language developers could care less about native readability

Rust, amazing

fn, die.

[idle badge]

you can do the same in lua with coroutines

[hoary cedar]

Rust's version of function

A worse version of Python's def

[idle badge]

same

[sonic juniper]

[hoary cedar]

C++ is equally awful

std::stoi -> tostring

:/

[sonic juniper]

??

[idle badge]

that comes from the C naming scheme, which is the most atrocious thing i have ever seen

you have not seen C...

[hoary cedar]

Try writing

name = input("Enter name: ")
print(f"Hello, {name}!")

In C, from scratch.

[idle badge]

yeah but brainfuck is for the memes, C is actually used

[sonic juniper]

does its speed only come from its lack of readability?

[hoary cedar]

My implementation was ~90 lines

[idle badge]

hahaha funny take, the more a language is unreadable the more its fast

[hoary cedar]

I pissed myself laughing when Dr. David Malan apologized to his CS-50 students for making them use C in the first few weeks of the course

[sonic juniper]

which is why you have >> :: and whatever

[idle badge]

"interact with hardware directly" is a bit missleading but yeah, way more low level then lua

[sonic juniper]

... people code in assembly seriously??

i thought the only one was the guy that made that roller coaster game

😭

[idle badge]

because it really doesn't work with hardware directly, its still a "high level" programming language compared to assembly

[idle badge]

people, unfortunately, still do, in the big 25

[sonic juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-west-stare-staring-funny-gif-13590085

no its obvious, so i use a gif to show my diapproval

[idle badge]

OSs are made with all sorts of languages, mostly C and sometimes rust, you really don't need pure assembly

[sonic juniper]

of the fact that they code them in assembly

bru ion even listen to hiphop/ whatever the hell kanye makes

[misty socket]

yo! coded a cool customizable cutscene in roblox

[sonic juniper]

interesting

in my it class

it said c was high level

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/418250622245142538/988237383138942996/reverse.gif

[kindred stream]

wsg

[sonic juniper]

but everyone else was saying it was really low level

[idle badge]

very nice!!!

[misty socket]

pls rate

[idle badge]

there is really no need to haha, lower than C + assembly there is little to nothing

[sonic juniper]

why does it being close to assembly even matter

does it shorten compile time or sum

[wraith mountain]

Chat i made a skill system in where you can handle server sided stuff and client sided stuff in one singular script am i cold like is that nice

[kindred stream]

also anim

[sonic juniper]

the beginning seems a bit janky

[misty socket]

yeah the anim is like very rough

[sonic juniper]

but the rest is great

wth does optimal even mean

in this case

[wraith mountain]

**someone answer **

[misty socket]

like most cutscene are a tween between point a to point b yk but i tried to make it like animatable

[sonic juniper]

??

How are inputs read if its on the server

[wraith mountain]

public side? you mean client and also no its not exploitable i made it as secure as possible they legit cant do anything even if its in replicated storage i do not use remotes i use modules i made a clean system that you can handle server sided stuff and client sided stuff in one singular module so basically you can do client vfx and client anim and server hitbox in one script

[sonic juniper]

No way its just in a local script

[idle badge]

wdym in one singular script? like a module script?

[sonic juniper]

Imo

[wraith mountain]

i use modules so for example i have one whole system that automatically handles inputs and everything and then i have another module which is the skill basically in that skill i have functions like client.start client.end and server.start server.end

[sonic juniper]

Id just use bezier curves to animate it

Then run service

[sonic juniper]

(Or moon animator/blender obv)

[wraith mountain]

yep one module script that handles everything smoothly and fully automatic and then the skill as another module

[misty socket]

yeah ik like i made a model who has a part with a bone so i can animate it and save it to roblox and put that id in the script and when i touch something it plays the animation, i dont think most ppl do that they just set points and make a cutscene that way yk

[wraith mountain]

hm?

[sonic juniper]

Well buddy

If the player can require the module

They can see what the server does

[idle badge]

where is the module script located? because exploiters can just modify the module scripts code

[sonic juniper]

Which is never good

[idle badge]

yep

[sonic juniper]

That gives hackers alot more leeway to figure out how to cheat

He said public side because of this

The code is basically privvy to everyone so might as well make it public

[sonic juniper]

Yeah

Cooked icl 🔥

[misty socket]

like i wanted a cutscene kinda like god of war where the camera seamlessly smooths in a cutscene rather than cutscene having cuts yk

[ember nimbus]

i can't stop winning 🦅

derive a formula for the two tangents that intersect a given point

how many years of maths education

[misty socket]

nah like i made this animation way before thinking of something like this and randomly thought this could be a fun lil thing to do and like set up the camera and stuff this cutscene wont be used in any game or such just wanted a little something to pass time

[ember nimbus]

preschool didn't teach you your number bonds?

i am on week 5 of learning maths pluh let me have my wins

pulling out the "i did that before"

no 🙏

just to spite you not even going to arccos it

[spiral jungle]

What’s the derivative of time

[elfin blaze]

can welds be rotated with scripts incase i wanna set like offset
curous

[spiral jungle]

Welds yea

Weld constraints you just move the part

[elfin blaze]

ill try figure it out

[wraith mountain]

oh yea i understand but is there any method to keep my current system but move it all to sss or ss

Whats the rate of change of time

[hoary cedar]

That's me ;)

[copper apex]

Good job

But usually u take derivatives with respect to time

Yes!

No im too busy understanding Einstein's field equations

I like physics

Which pretty much means i like math

Yes

Textbooks are always helpful

I like computation

Since im a physics major I got into coding mainly cuz coding is very important when it comes to computations

I like roblox too

I am only a year into coding but most of it has just been programs to solve math problems

Like i have some that solves eigenvalues for you, inverts a matrix for you, finds integral for you,

The tedious parts

Nice nice

No lol

[hoary cedar]

Have you tried emulating hand-long-division?

https://github.com/Ziffixture/Lua/blob/main/LongDivide.lua

[hoary cedar]

The irony is that I used division to emulate division

[copper apex]

Hot take, i like long division better than synthetic division

There was this one teacher i had in HS that just grained long division into my brain

[hoary cedar]

The last time I used long division in a math class was to confirm whether or not a number was rational or irrational

[smoky hinge]

I need help
data store works on roblox studio
but not on roblox live

[hoary cedar]

And that was when I was being taught number systems, lol

[alpine scarab]

Who can join my new coming game i wanna test my hammer

[smoky hinge]

please anyone help me with this

It works COMPLETLY fine on roblox studio

[copper apex]

I took an analysis class next semester, i figured id get out of the computations and build up my logic

[smoky hinge]

but on roblox itself its not

[copper apex]

Computations are the death of me

[hoary cedar]

Can't do much without your code

[smoky hinge]

huh?

[hoary cedar]

I remember talking to my 7th grade math teacher about solving the same problem that UIListLayouts do nowadays

[copper apex]

Also the new input system roblox have? Omg its so good and so easy to use

[hoary cedar]

I was building a custom chat back then. Needed to offset variable-size chat messages with a constant padding

Childsplay

[copper apex]

I hate UI with my live bro i hate calculating their positions and everything

UIListLayout is my best friend

[hoary cedar]

UIPadding is also goated

Not often used

[copper apex]

Yes but its tedious

[hoary cedar]

I remember accidentally discovering the binomial theorum before being taught it

[copper apex]

Damn we got some geniuses in here 😭

Talking bout binomial theorem in 6th grade 😭

MAN I WAS DOING NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE INTEGERS

[hoary cedar]

I remember finding a way (not on my own) to calculate the coefficients for factoring by grouping

While I was being taught that, the teacher said we simply had to brute force the coefficients

Generalized the formula, then converted it into a program for my TI-84

Abused that shit during exams

This was before being taught the quadratic formula

Muah

Didn't matter that my calculator was cleared

Understood that shit down to its core

Helped that it wasn't an overly complex formula

[tardy pasture]

Peppermint or mint tea is the drink oat

I would say I disagree but its an objective fact

that would be called luau

and is universally known as luau

[sonic juniper]

do you have any ideas on how rell seas got their ship movement so fluid?

[elder marlin]

???????

[sonic juniper]

failed mahoraga summon bru

he aint show up

but ig what i could assume is

the ship moves via a parametric func, and the character's position is updated using: current position + that position that they should be at, based on the func

the only problem is

if you apply it on the client, since that'd smoothen it out, how do you make the ship move smoothly too

[sonic juniper]

this him?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/344283638101311490/1276109451643850763/Sticklyrunbreak-1.gif

[sonic juniper]

if the character is moving smoothly, how do you move the ship smoothly

[elder marlin]

bro i barely know how to declare a variable bro

[sonic juniper]

since the ship is also on the server

[sonic juniper]

well have you seen the game?

[elder marlin]

no but im sure its great

[dark juniper]

Probably some mangenkeyo scriptigan type shit

That our scripting brains would have trouble understanding

The guys who code there really know their shit

They can practically dedicate incredibly experienced scripters to one feature to make it perfect

is there anyway to make sure the client is loaded before firing scripts because people with slow internet wont load like 90% of the local scripts

[tepid marsh]

game.Loaded

[shut umbra]

nope

scripts are like preloading

its weird if u have slow internet none of the camera scripts either start before the camera isnt loaded or they dont start at all

should be fixed

[shy bronze]

it kind of worked but not the way i wanted im ttyna us the movedirection property and the script u did was making what ever direction the character will face its back to the camera

ty anyways

[hallow crag]

oh i get it one second

[shy bronze]

alr tysm

[tender ivy]

not roblox related but i dont have access to advanced,

how the HELL is appy bot able to ping within an embed and it register as a real ping?

for reference.

[weak radish]

skill

[shy bronze]

i still cant find how did u get it?

[hallow crag]

u need to use the players move vector

somehow

require(LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerScripts").PlayerModule:WaitForChild("ControlModule")):GetMoveVector()

thats how u get the movevector

[shy bronze]

its some complicated math i dont get

oo

[shy bronze]

how i can set it tho?

[shy bronze]

use it*

wait nvm

@shy bronze

u just had to add the movedirection

💀

[shy bronze]

yoooo

[shy bronze]

it work thanks it look like some retro game 😭

ill lerp it

@hallow crag thank you so much it look so good now

[hallow crag]

btw u can remove the align orientation bs

its not needed

[hallow crag]

np

[shy bronze]

i did

[hallow crag]

alr

[uneven jolt]

I'm trying to make a system similar to Hero's BG. I'm just really confused
For their grab moves, even when your extremely laggy (400ms ping testing) if you snap your camera last second, it still lands the hitbox correctly.

Could this be that everything is handled on the client and the server just exists for sanity checks and replication?

Yeah ngl when i was typing this out I kinda just answered my own question

[hallow crag]

btw i recommend using a linear velocity instead of a body velocity (its depricated)

[shy bronze]

fuck it turns out the game im inpired from it face the character back to the camera

[shy bronze]

i have a hard time dealing with it

[hallow crag]

whats the game

u inspired from

[shy bronze]

traversal

do u know it?

[hallow crag]

nah ill check it now

[shy bronze]

its a great game try it out

i think i can use however u did in the first version of the script and update the character orientation when he moves (exactly ur old script but i lerp it)

[hallow crag]

ill try replicate the movement exactly

ill dm u when im done

[shy bronze]

ur goated ❤️

[sonic ruin]

Im cooked

its still there

@foggy fulcrum

no escape

[pliant crow]

can someone help me doing that when the target looks left or right or up or whatever and deflect that the ball makes a curve to the next target guys can someone help me i want that when im the target like when a player is a target and he looks left right behind or something that the ball makes a curve to the next target

[shy bronze]

i dont understand

[foggy fulcrum]

sorry i think it's not related to this channel so i deleted it

[old cedar]

DMs

Ah

[solar inlet]

Chat I need a lil help, im editing the camera to set it on a part, but when I want it to track the player again, it just mess up and I can’t even tell whats going on, as it seems the player velocity got higher

[shy bronze]

wym?

[solar inlet]

After editing the camera

And set it back so it follows the plr again

It’s not like before

The player floats

[shy bronze]

what u mean the player floats?

send pics or video if possible

@solar inlet
