[shy harness]

changes your momentum a little bit

while on the ground

i wonder how it works

[queen tapir]

someone yesterday explained how it exactly works

he said a lot of random things that i didnt understand (not a scripter)

[shy harness]

i understand it in concept but not sure how i'd do it

it like... tries to pull your current motion towards the direction you're pressing, rather than just accelerating in that direction flat

honestly it might just lerp your acceleration vector

yeah that would probably work

it might even SLERP it

slerp my beloved

interested in doing the commision? send me a Dm if so

[shy harness]

it wouldn't look good for shopping cart

Guys is Roblox script hard compared to Java and python, I only know those two

How long would it take to learn?

[icy dew]

Not hard, if you know those two you can get going with Roblox scripting within an hour

[bold current]

Maybe harder than python but Java is by far harder than Luau due to the syntax alone

If you know those 2 languages well enough, it'd be pretty simple to learn Roblox Luau

[placid matrix]

r34

[bold current]

Some basic stuff for Luau in case the syntax is new to you:
A = B for defining variables
A:B() for running methods that are within an instance
B = A.Property for accessing properties of an instance
A = {B} for making arrays
C = A[n] for accessing arrays
A = {["Thing"] = B} for making dictionaries (not limited to strings for key values to my knowledge)
C = A["Thing"] for accessing dictionaries

ohio guide

do not listen to ts kid.

[bold current]

ts bait so bad you should be arrested for this

[placid matrix]

its literally bad bro

the dot operator can also be used to access dicts

??

you can define dicts without [''] either

ur showing ohio examples, when u should be defining what each operator does

[bold current]

Do it for me I'm lazy and got other stuff to do

Guys what are your thoughts on doing commisions

[static coral]

money

[copper apex]

If you already know those two languages its easy to learn another language especially luau its a pretty simple language

I came from java as well and learning lua was smooth and luau is pretty much roblox's version of lua

[gray escarp]

whats the difference between findfirstchild and findfirstchildclass

[strong fable]

am prob did not spend 3 hours trying to fix one of the most simplest issues of man kind

[static coral]

FindFirstChild returns the first found direct descendant of an object that has a certain name whereas FindFirstChildOfClass returns the first found direct descendant of an object that is of a certain class

[gray escarp]

ohh i see thank you

[strong fable]

like i SOMEHOW mange to put my localscript within severscript

funn

[spiral jungle]

How did you misspell final like 4 times

[torpid marlin]

anyone knows why this is happening.? Only shows this when I'm on studio, and doesnt show on the roblox player.. also, on my friend's studio when they play test it (on studio) doesnt show this, it only shows this to me😭

[graceful cargo]

bro asked help in two different server

[torpid marlin]

[graceful cargo]

i already told the issue

its usally because you are running the code too many times in a short interval of time

like no wait

what are you talking about

i never did

[ivory sparrow]

This is like scripting help.. + animation help? I have a first person game, doesnt really show the character, dont know if thats matters. i want a pick up item animation, pretty easy to make. I want to know how to slide the character into position for the animation, and then have it actually play where it shows their arms picking it up and stuff. 1. Would I just tween/lerp the character into position somehow perfectly? 2. will i have to show the first person character for the arms to show up?

[torpid marlin]

tried doing that actually 😓, still no help

[ivory kite]

1. You can tween the player into position to make the transition a lot smoother especially if you're aiming for a first person game, it'll be less disorienting.

2. If you're trying to do cutscenes you should have it so it changes the LocalTransparencyModifier of your arms to 0 (think that you need to do this on a loop because of the core controller)

[ivory kite]

What is the CaptureZone script?

[ivory sparrow]

like have the animation do the local transparency, or just change it constantly for the duration of the animation? (also tysm)

[torpid vigil]

looking for coders dm me for more info

[ivory kite]

Depends on how you're doing the animation.
You can continuously loop this bit of code while your animation is playing (and stop looping it when you're done) to show your character's arms.

[peak sedge]

    local Torso = Playercharacter:FindFirstChild("Torso") :: BasePart
    local LeftHip = Torso:FindFirstChild("Left Hip")

    end)
    return Parts
end

[peak sedge]

valid?

[ivory kite]

I assume this is for a custom death animation where your character gets split in half

[peak sedge]

ye

[ivory kite]

Are you running this on the server or client?

[peak sedge]

no anim js effecrt

[peak sedge]

server

[ivory kite]

Okay well I advise you separate the code where you damage the player's humanoid and you purely do the death animation code only in there

[peak sedge]

yea it js a mockup

[ivory kite]

You should also do the actual animation for their death on the client because you'll definitely have some sort of issue visually when the character gets split in half

[peak sedge]

no animation

[ivory kite]

Either a delay in replication or it might slow down the server

[peak sedge]

just split

[ivory kite]

You know what I mean

[peak sedge]

no?

[ivory kite]

It should be done on the client regardless for the visuals

Unless the limbs are important for something else besides just showing someone got split in half

[peak sedge]

not worried abt that rn

the code in general

aka is there a better way to split them?

[ivory kite]

Visually I don't know exactly what you're aiming for but you should definitely clean up your code you don't have to have variables for some of these tables

Like the legs you can just initiate a table in the actual loop

Instead of

local Legs = {
            LeftLeg = Playercharacter:FindFirstChild("Left Leg"),
            RighLeg = Playercharacter:FindFirstChild("Right Leg")
        }

you should probably just do

for _, Leg : BasePart in {
            LeftLeg = Playercharacter:FindFirstChild("Left Leg"),
            RighLeg = Playercharacter:FindFirstChild("Right Leg")
} do
            --local Burst = BBExample:Clone()
            --local Weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", Leg)
            
            --Burst.Parent = workspace
            --Burst.Position = Leg.Position
            --Burst.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(Burst.Position, Leg.Position)

            
            
            --Weld.Part0 = Burst
            --Weld.Part1 = Leg
            
            Leg.Anchored = false
            --Leg.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new(math.random(-100,100),math.random(100,150),math.random(-100,100))
            table.insert(Parts, Leg)
            Playercharacter:SetAttribute("DeathTypes", false)
        end

[peak sedge]

mk

[ivory kite]

Other than that it looks like it'll work well

[peak sedge]

is cuk at coding sm

[peak sedge]

ts brutal bro

i suck

i need to restart

wait

@ivory kite

[ivory kite]

What's up

[peak sedge]

1 sec

local module = {}

module.__index = module

function module._Init(Char)
    local self = setmetatable({
        
        Humanoid = Char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        
        
        
    }, module)
    
end

function module:Ex(Char)
    print(self.Humanoid)
end

return module

local module = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.ModuleScript)
local Dummy = workspace.Dummys.Dummy

module._Init(Dummy)

task.wait(1)

module:Ex(Dummy)

it print nil why?

@ivory kite

[ivory kite]

You never returned self in the module._Init function

[peak sedge]

oh shi

ifg mb

[peak sedge]

still prints nil i had this probelm before i was getting orange and it ddint work but now likw

im new to doing metatables in modules so like

[ivory kite]

Instead of module._Init(Dummy) it returns a custom class

So it should be

local newDummy = module._Init(Dummy)

and then you call newDummy:Ex()

[peak sedge]

mm

[ivory kite]

_Index is a metamethod that essentially

(If you call something)

It'll return something if it doesn't exist

In this case

module.__index = module

[peak sedge]

?

[ivory kite]

Ex is a method of NewDummy

You need to call NewDummy:Ex()

[peak sedge]

i might be stupid

am i stupid

NewDummy:Ex(NewDummy)

[ivory kite]

In this case I have a "NPC" system

local NPCHandler = require(script.NPCHandler) -- or sumthn
local NPC = NPCHandler.new()

NPC:Ex()

[peak sedge]

NewDummy:Ex()

[ivory kite]

Yes

When you run :

It's syntax to automatically pass "self"

[ivory kite]

You can either do NewDummy.Ex(NewDummy) or NewDummy:Ex()

[peak sedge]

huh

\

[ivory kite]

local module = {}
module.__index = module

function module._Init(Char)
    local self = setmetatable({
        Humanoid = Char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    }, module)
   
    return self 
end

function module:Ex()
    print(self.Humanoid)
end

return module

In another script calling the module

local DummySystem = require(script.DummySystem)
local Dummy = script:FindFirstChild("Dummy") -- or whatever

local NewDummy = module._Init(Dummy)
NewDummy:Ex()

It'd look something like this

Personally I don't like initializing keys in the actual metatable definition

I prefer this instead:

function module._Init(Char)
    local self = setmetatable({}, module)

    self.Humanoid = Char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") 
    
    return self 
end

[peak sedge]

yea i tried thatr before

idk why maybe im doing sum wrong i suck at codign anyway

[peak sedge]

thx for tryin twin

[dusky kestrel]

function class:Unregister() 
    Remove(self) 
    setmetatable(self,nil) 
    table.clear(self) 
    table.freeze(self) 
end

is this gonna save my ass?

[ivory kite]

What is Remove

You can just set the metatable of the class to nil

Just make sure you clean up the other junk

[dusky kestrel]

Remove is all the junk

[ivory kite]

Ahh, okay

Well you don't need to clear/freeze the table just stop referencing it in the script that called it when you run :Unregister

[dusky kestrel]

alright

WHY MY SCRIPT NOT WORKING

:CCCCCCCCCCCC

[spiral jungle]

Because you didn’t format it

[fathom atlas]

hey i need some help

how can i know if one frame is inside another

[light oasis]

can someone help me Im trying to make a block that adds tso my leader stat and it only works when I input my name but it'll only work for me and idk how to fix it, heres the code

local player = game.Players:WaitForChild("Icy_Flaames")
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local money = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Cash")
local cb = script.Parent

cb.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    
    if humanoid then
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        if player then
            money.Value = money.Value + 100
        end
    end
end)```

[round pivot]

how do i import multiple animations at once in moon animator?

[round pivot]

yes because "player" only works when "Ice_Flames" is found

you should do this instead

cb.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

    local char = humanoid.Parent
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
    local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
    local money = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Cash")
    local cb = script.Parent

    if humanoid then
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        if player then
            money.Value = money.Value + 100
        end
    end

does any1 know how to script it when i press a character i switch

[charred ledge]

Selling my basketball game MAP it is detailed you can resell as many times

[hallow crag]

clone the new one parent it to workspace teleport it to ur old character destroy ur old character then set your players character to the new character

[graceful jackal]

huh? 😭

i know nothing abt the scripting shi 💔

[hallow crag]

just detect when its clicked fire to the server with the character name

clone the character on the server

and then do i what i said above

[wanton star]

How much would it cost me to create a jet/plane system similiar to aeolus? Anyone has a rough idea

[white nova]

if you return a moving part position from the client to the server would it be different from the servers position

[surreal sky]

Use a debounce

[spiral jungle]

You need the programmer role

[cursive kindle]

Anybody knows the problem?

im trying to shapecast

[limpid basalt]

double check the positioning of the hitbox

[spark willow]

how do you guys handle interactions in your games? Right now I have an interact script that checks if the object the player is looking at has an interactable tag and then it calls events on the object depending on mouse input and if the player is still looking at it

I have the events: OnHoverEnter, OnHoverExit, OnSelectEnter, and OnSelectExit

I originally planned on just having each object's module script decide what it wants to do with the events but now I'm playing with the idea of having service module scripts just apply some kind of functionality to all objects with certain tags

I also have every object set up so that when it spawns in a new instance of it's module script is assigned to it

which probably isn't the most efficient way of doing that I should probably just have one script that manages all the instances of the object

[modest flame]

Hi i've got a problem with cloning a tool when specific players joins. It detects and calls the function to create a tool but it doesn't clone or sending a message into console. what could be the cause?

[simple forum]

did you name your tool

[silver gale]

guys im new to scripting i dont know where to start and it seems imposible any tips?

[sweet cedar]

Who wanna make a grow a garden game?

[azure jacinth]

fym

[somber vault]

Is your player name the one specified

[modest flame]

yeah

[somber vault]

Debug and tell me if it’s making it past that if statement

Or if you already know lmk where the code gets stuck

[sick saffron]

so the tool appears in the replicated storage?

[modest flame]

I've made a lot of changes like returning the tool instead of creating in RS but nothing worked so far, i gave up on it already

[sick saffron]

it could be the case where the backpack hasnt loaded yet

maybe you could try do something where the player is fully loaded in

[modest flame]

tried too

[sick saffron]

you tried putting the tool somewhere else other than the backpack?

[simple forum]

I got it

[modest flame]

imma try

[simple forum]

i forgot that I fixed your code 😭

[sick saffron]

learn how to make some simple games

[modest flame]

it does clone into workspace

[simple forum]

i didn't include your other functions

@modest flame

make sure that the script is a script not a local script

this should come out

[modest flame]

It is a script in serverscriptservice and the module in replicated storage
also i've changed the script a little bit

it clones, but it doesn't want to clone into the backpack

Elsewhere it will

[still condor]

Say

If backpack then

And print something

Small change but cud help a lot

[modest flame]

Good idea but didn't work aswell

[still condor]

Didn't print?

Anything

[modest flame]

it does print but doesn't want to clone into backpack

[simple forum]

are you perhaps retrieving the tool right after cloning it into the backpack

[modest flame]

wdym?

If you mean by return it is only in the module script to return it into the main script

[simple forum]

maybe try doing a wait()

idk

[still condor]

Print Newtool.Name

[simple forum]

put a statement after the clone to see if it clones into the backpack

[still condor]

This is strange ur code looks fine

[modest flame]

the print is after the clone

[modest flame]

yeah

should work fine but it doesnt bruh

[still condor]

This is where gpt comes in lol

[modest flame]

There's where gpt got fucked up by me already

You may try lol

[simple forum]

chat gpt is pretty bad with codes

[still condor]

This code is so simple

That gpt can't mess it up anymore?😭

[modest flame]

Somehow the problem ISN'T

[still condor]

Do u need the module script btw like do u gotta instance in the tool

Idk what ur trying to achieve here btw so im just asking

[modest flame]

Achieving fame

Just learning tbh

[modest flame]

i mean the module isn't the problem it does his work also the tool IS CREATED cuz if i change the parent to like workspace it spawns

This damn tool doesn't like me

[simple forum]

just put the tool in replicated storage

[modest flame]

did that before

AND FUCK FIXED IT

just changed the backpack to StarterGear lol

not the 100% solution i wanted but atleast the 90%

[simple forum]

better than nothing

[severe dove]

yo bois does marketplace.processreciept have a product type value as well?

what can i do to make this better?

[sonic mauve]

what is this

[open sparrow]

how would one go about handling a large number of enemies as I heard using humanoids isn't very efficient

[sudden patio]

whay sky is this

[balmy wedge]

backpack resets each spawn

So just try adding it every time the character is added

[modest flame]

?

[balmy wedge]

every time the character dies it resets ur backpack

this includes ur first spawn

[buoyant gale]

who wanna make a gaem with me?

[past hill]

Yooo ty for that guy that recommended me peasfactory ty!!

[static coral]

custom humanoids

[copper apex]

I think what you can do is have one service module that handles your functionality, and you can use seperate modules or so called (classes) to create an instance of that object and ur service module is what handles that creation, and in ur service module you can collect all your tags there and create an instance of a class/module depending on what the tag or the object

Like for a simple example: I did this with my door service, I have a module called a door service, which then collects the tags of my doors, and depending on what type of door it is, I require one module that handles all the functions of a particular door and I can use the constructor (constructor meaning creating a new instance of a class) and then I can use the functions and methods of that class to apply to every SINGLE object of a particular door.

So if I had 55 single doors around my game, my door service collects all of those doors, and then requires the single door module and gives all the methods and functionality of that one module to all those 55 doors

A lot of ppl would say, you go ahead and do roblox OOP with this, but you dont have to

[crystal topaz]

s

okay thats it

[south roost]

local enemystun = enemychar:GetAttribute("Stunned")

if enemystun then return end

enemychar:SetAttribute("Stunned",true)
task.delay(0.45,function()
  enemychar:SetAttribute("Stunned",false)
end)

-- dmg/knockback here

can anybody explain why whenever i increase stun time the dmg/knockback like delays so much or sometimes doesnt register so i have to put 0.45 so its reasonable however other enemies can hit me even if they r stunned since its sucha. short time

[daring otter]

new to coding but what does then return end do

[south roost]

just stops it

like stops anything below the code from happening

[daring otter]

hmm okay

[frozen zodiac]

oh

[alpine kelp]

is there a way to stop roblox touch controls from deleting for mobile players when you die

[bleak magnet]

why whenever I touch this it causes a lag spike?

[alpine kelp]

maybe add a cooldown

[static coral]

edit the controlmodule

[alpine kelp]

you can edit it? do i have to clone it from running instance and then put it in sps

[bleak magnet]

how

[static coral]

if you parent a local script to starterplayerscripts and call it either “ControlScript” “CameraScript” or “RbxCharacterSounds” it will entirely replace the respective script

so just copy it and edit it

[wet holly]

what was that

[static coral]

thats crazy

[alpine kelp]

oh bet

thank you!

[wide socket]

why do we do
module.__index = module
and local self = setmetatable({}, module) in OOP?

[ocean plaza]

why can't I change .Interactable and .Active through scripts?

[ivory kite]

You can, those aren't readOnly properties

[ivory kite]

Index is a metamethod where (if you set a table to that), it'll essentially reference whatever __index is set to when you reference something that doesn't exist under that table

setting the self metatable to module allows you to inherit the module's functions through __index

[wide socket]

ohhh that makes sense

[ivory kite]

ViewportFrames do not calculate physics like the workspace does.

If you want to animate your model you need to put it within a worldmodel in the viewport first

[ivory kite]

There are other useful ones like len operator if you need to get the size of something like a dictionary

[vagrant sorrel]

-- Option 1
DataHandler.Gold.Get()

-- Option 2
DataHandler.GetGold()

I am making this in order to have a central api, while avoiding or atleast trying to avoid cluttering. Which one of this u think is better and why? So what I am doing is creating a wrapper (DataHandler), in one of the versions I am calling the functions of the modules directly on the wrapper.

On the second, the wrapper is calling each module inside it just giving them a label, such as Gold.

If you don't like either, how do you usually achieve this?

[carmine surge]

life saver

[ivory kite]

Typically you'd go as the latter because it's more concise and easier to read

Especially in a place where it's super important someone can follow your code without you having to explain it

[carmine surge]

even Ai didn't suggest doing a worldmodel though when I was doing other gui it actually told me to do it, but there i also had problem with animation xd

[vagrant sorrel]

I am thinking the same, but the issue with it is as the code base scales, the wrapper would become really cluttered

[wide socket]

is this a good OOP its my first

local Vect3 = {}
local MT = {}
MT.__index = MT

function Vect3.new(x,y,z)
    local self = setmetatable({}, MT)
    self.X = x
    self.Y = y
    self.Z = z
    return self
end

function MT:MovePartToVect3(part)
    print(self)
    if part:IsA("BasePart") then
        part.Position = Vector3.new(self.X, self.Y, self.Z)
    else
        error("Incorrect Part.")
    end
    
end

return Vect3

[ivory kite]

I'd only see Option 1 being used if you were doing custom classes for the actual value handlers

[ivory kite]

Yes, that's the exact use case for something like that

Finding something you have to continuously create

Actually

[vagrant sorrel]

ig, ty for ur opinion

[ivory kite]

You don't need the MT table, you can just use the Vect3 table

so

Vect3 = {}
Vect3.__index = Vect3

[wide socket]

oh alr thanks

[ivory kite]

It'd be far easier to read if the constructor for the Vect3 and methods of it are under the same table

[wide socket]

thanks for ur help 👍

[ivory kite]

Happy to help!

[obtuse vector]

can i ask how people started to learn code? im wanting to learn but its very overwhelming to start and im not sure where to begin

[rigid willow]

[lean grotto]

anyone know if there is a way to make my Studio--> rojo --> visual studio code, instead of visual studio code --> rojo --> roblox?

[rigid willow]

literally why

[tidal steppe]

did anyone else start getting this issue randomly even without modifying scripts

[honest tapir]

Greetings devs i need help in scripting in roblox studio

[mighty oak]

hey guys i need help

I have a button that I want that if the player clicks it it prompts them to a gamepass

Chat GPT is saying I should have a local script in the button to do that AND a server script

its saying people can hack if there is just a local script

but idk because for the other gamepasses, it didn't say that

can someone help me out?

[empty mulch]

Look up any tutorial on game passes. It's not that complex

[echo stream]

Something about :Destroy().

"instead of using destroy, add it to the debris.
with a 0 second wait"
- @amanda
-# Source(s): Roblox Forums [ Archived ]

[mighty oak]

no i have the local script but im confused on the serverscript

@empty mulch

[empty mulch]

Don't ping me -_-

[mighty oak]

my fault can you tell me

[empty mulch]

I haven't messed with gamepass prompt in a while. What's the local script for?

[mighty oak]

to prompt the gamepass

here lemme send it

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

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local button = script.Parent

-- Replace this with your actual Developer Product ID
local developerProductId = -----------

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
MarketplaceService:PromptProductPurchase(player, developerProductId)
end)

[empty mulch]

Is the button a ui or a part

[mighty oak]

ui

[pastel breach]

local killbrick = script.Parent
local button = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Button")
local damageEnabled = false
local debounce = false

-- Connect Touched once
killbrick.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if damageEnabled and not debounce then
        local humanoid = hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if humanoid then
            debounce = true
            humanoid:TakeDamage(100)
            wait(1)
            debounce = false
        end
    end
end)

-- Toggle damageEnabled when button clicked
button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
    damageEnabled = not damageEnabled
    if damageEnabled then
        print("KillBrick damage ENABLED")
    else
        print("KillBrick damage DISABLED")
    end
end)

is this a good script for 3 days of learning luau?

[empty mulch]

Use the local script to detect the button click. Fire it to serverscript with player and use the marketplace service there.

[mighty oak]

alr bet

[empty mulch]

Looks pretty 🔥. Do you actually understand it tho.

[empty mulch]

If it's all in a local script then exploiters can fake purchase it ig 🤷 not too sure about that part

[mighty oak]

alr ty

[empty mulch]

Yw

[pastel breach]

yes i understand all of it

[empty mulch]

Then that's some great progress bro. Keep on the grind

[pastel breach]

ty man

[empty mulch]

Yw

[tidal steppe]

is that like a new thing thats bad or smth

the destroy thing

[bold current]

No, debris is just able to throttle for performance from what I remember

[echo stream]

not that i know, i dont think its bad other than the fact warnings are annoying

^ thanks snacker

[tidal steppe]

i know there annoying but the warning is preventing the script from working

[bold current]

Actually hold on did :Destroy() get deprecated or something?

[echo stream]

nope

not yet

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Instance#Destroy

Wym not yet???

roblox might do something stupid about it

comes down to rng

im working on subtitles now

[glad hatch]

Would this work for 2 players (cat is player, walker is player, they both indepedent)

[static coral]

yo forget the error wtf is that bio gang 💔💔💔💔🥀🥀🥀

[shy basin]

i need the error help

[ivory kite]

No, the players should have individual network ownership of their characters

It's just if you're welding to something that isn't player controlled you should set the network ownership of that thing to the player

So it's the player's client that controls its physics

[wooden drum]

Ayo bro any advanced scripters here tryna assist me in a game?

who needs help me their scripts want to learn something dm me with ur problems (free)

[worthy cosmos]

R dev products still bugged?

[raven sonnet]

can any 1 that uses roblox-ts here help me with something?

[spark willow]

Right now I have a similar system except I don’t have anything checking for already existing objects in the world I just spawn them during runtime and pass the cloned object to a module loader that then assigns the corresponding module script to that object

I should probably have a function that checks all the existing tagged items and loads their modules as well

[spark willow]

Will Roblox allow this?

[rain osprey]

probably not

thats why i wont release it

better subtitle showcase

hmmmm, can u show me your implementation of the module loader?

[vagrant sorrel]

like granting and revoking ranks?

[broken talon]

Like, I make an api request from roblox to my python backend, which then changes the role of a user in a certain group

[raven sonnet]

sure i just change a bit already existing module loadder

i found in somewhere on youtube

[vagrant sorrel]

I mean, for that you would need some sort of way of making login, or you wouldnt be able to change the role

[broken talon]

Could I use Roblox api keys tho

mind you this is still far from optimal

at least the mach cone's reduced

[elder sparrow]

coding pisses me off

but i stil do it :/

[versed osprey]

real

[versed osprey]

realer

[stable urchin]

the results tho...

I just mostly finished working on a turret system

[elder sparrow]

yeah the result are good but the process

make break hate myself repeat

[stable urchin]

maybe not realizing the extent of the problem and/or knowing of easy solutions

I didn't bat an eye on it for a long time

[elder sparrow]

yo

can you help me rq

[south prism]

do yall think this is enough for the programmer application

[elder sparrow]

yes

take the humanoid

and up the walkspeed

rn he look like an old man

[south prism]

no i just have to change the speed of the sounds and remove the default humanoid sounds

its a normal walk speed

when do you see an average human walking 10 mph

[manic rover]

why am i adding "and not IsBlocking" here = if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and not IsBlocking then

[placid matrix]

yep.

[south prism]

ngl i just got bored so i made 1000+ lines of code 😃 now my brain hurts

[warm heron]

can any1 help me putting my animations into my actually code so when a players clicks something it plays

[hallow linden]

Me when I'm on an unreasonable expectations competition and my opponent is a hiddendevs hirer

[grim remnant]

Whats the best way to learn coding in 3 months (lua for rblx)?

[hallow linden]

you are likely not gonna be too good in general by then but I'd start by asking if u have any previous coding experience

[grim remnant]

I understand few things

[hallow linden]

ok, how much time are ya willing to spend in those 3 months to learn lua?

[grim remnant]

5h a day

[hallow linden]

last thing, do you want the quicker but "probably not too great" way, or the more intricate, surefire way (will prob take longer and be boring)?

[placid lark]

yikes

don't know about that

five hours of typing in a language you don't understand for 365 days

[grim remnant]

Whats the time difference

[hallow linden]

well either way, I'd honestly tell ya to do 2 things, one is optional if you want the quick way out: Look for luau (roblox lua) coding tutorials, anything on yt that you wanna do at that given moment. Also, kinda frowned upon but AI like ChatGPT will help you tons if you make basic, theory questions and read through whatever it gives ya. As a bonus, look at an intro to OOP tutorial on youtube. The concepts there translate to any language that supports it, so take it to heart

[hallow linden]

not much, refer to the last message I sent

[grim remnant]

Alrigjt

[grim remnant]

Well i got sent a documentation for a “lua manual”

I’ll read it, take notes then practice

If there’s errors i’ll run it through ai

[hallow linden]

here's the thing, lua is just the language. The big part of the job is actually problem solving, so docs aren't gonna help there

What really helps is practice but practice without knowing the basics is not gonna help either

the OOP tutorial I mentioned and looking at quick "how to do x in roblox studio" guides are the basics

[grim remnant]

i’ll watch some

i think for my first project i’ll try a very basic combat system

animating isn’t a strong suit for me tho

[hallow linden]

where we are going, we don't need animations

[grim remnant]

how do i actually make the system then

[hallow linden]

just do something exceedingly basic or print in chat when smth happens

it'll look goofy but it will work in the backend

which is what matters most for ya

[grim remnant]

basically me standing still but damaging someone

[hallow linden]

you could make the hitbox visible too

so at least smth happens

[grim remnant]

ngl most of scripting i know is in my bio

and i don’t even think its correct

[hallow linden]

kinda is

it ight

[grim remnant]

the only scripting i know is html

[grim remnant]

anyways ima go look at tutorials

[ivory kite]

Dude every time I look back at this channel and I see a post you make it crazier every time

It looks almost like the actual TV app

[rain osprey]

I'm finished with the project anyway

I'm gonna work on something bigger maybe

-# hq audio streaming..?

[ivory kite]

I don't know if that's possible on Roblox's engine

[rain osprey]

Probably is

[rapid spruce]

is this good

[verbal otter]

whats the small script again that hides the default roblox badge pop up in StarterPlayer?

[pine lodge]

Hi chat

[shrewd python]

if I want to clone a tool, where should I place the tool at in workspace?

I'm having trouble with the script inside tool being shared with other players

[stable verge]

place it in replicated storage so that no one can access it until its cloned into the workspace

[versed osprey]

i was wondering if anyone can help me with my code i cant frigre out out to make the radoll last a few secs

local function ragdollCharacter(character)
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics)
humanoid.PlatformStand = true
end

for _, desc in ipairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
    if desc:IsA("Motor6D") then
        local socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
        local a0 = Instance.new("Attachment")
        local a1 = Instance.new("Attachment")

        local part0 = desc.Part0
        local part1 = desc.Part1
        if part0 and part1 then
            a0.CFrame = desc.C0
            a1.CFrame = desc.C1

            a0.Parent = part0
            a1.Parent = part1

            socket.Attachment0 = a0
            socket.Attachment1 = a1
            socket.Parent = part0
        end

        desc:Destroy()
    end
end

end

[spark willow]

why is selene flagging this?

anybody here have experience with using rojo and vs code? I've got selene installed as my linter but I guess it doesn't know about type annotations

I'm just going to uninstall selene and use something else

[shy harness]

base lua doesn't have types

you need something specifically for luau

[north kiln]

Get rid of that random bracket at the end of your function.

[spark willow]

when I went to uninstall it I realized it said it was only meant for lua

which is confusing because the same dev who made that plugin also has made some of the other plugins I have specifically for roblox

that's why I made the mistake of installing it

[north kiln]

Is that VScode?

[spark willow]

yes

[north kiln]

Do you have the "Luau Language Server" extension?

By JohnnyMorganz?

[spark willow]

yeah I have it installed now

I think it handles syntax errors so I don't need selene

[north kiln]

Switch your file type to ".luau".

[spark willow]

it is already

[north kiln]

Ah, alright.

[spark willow]

how do you guys structure your games? A friend of mine mentioned keeping your project organized in a way that there's only one server side script and one client side script with all your code in modules

I guess I see the advantage of having all your code in one file so that everything can be interconnected

but why not just have multiple scripts to keep it more readable and then use events or globals for intercommunication

while still making use of modules ofc

[north kiln]

Because with Module scripts you can re-use code for easier development.

[spark willow]

you can still keep the majority of things in modules but then have separate scripts for managing different types of modules

[north kiln]

I structure my projects similar to that.

[spark willow]

like you might have a set of modules specifically for weapons and then another set specifically for in world interactions on objects that are static

I guess you can have a module for each type of object in the game that manages it's own modules respectively

and then have one main script that requires all the managers

[north kiln]

I mean that seems fine, it just comes down to which one you'd prefer.

[spark willow]

actually I get it now

soemtimes I just have to talk things out to make sense of things lol

[shy harness]

real

[north kiln]

Lol.

I have no idea what to make for my scripter application.

[spark willow]

yo uhave to apply for the scripter role?

it probably doesn't need to be anything complex just something that encompasses enough features of the engine to show you know what you're doing

[north kiln]

Wdym.

[spark willow]

oh are you making an app or are you applying as a scripter

[north kiln]

No, I mean, I literally have no idea what to make.

[north kiln]

Scripter.

[spark willow]

make a car

[north kiln]

Good idea.

[spark willow]

or make an interaction system for interacting with any kind of interactable item in the workspace

has to be flexible enough that it doesn't matter what kind of code is on the other side of the interaction

so you'd have to use events probably

you could have an interactable manager that goes through all the "interactable" tagged items and makes sure they have the correct events parented to them

you migth need to make that first before you can make a car

[fluid goblet]

does anyone know why this codes not working. its supposed to make my sword do damage.

i need help with this, ok so i want a text label to showcase the leaderstats value but it only works when its changed, i want it to work even if its not changed

heres my code

[fickle wedge]

if im making a daily reward should the reward be on a local script or a server script

[fluid galleon]

ofc server

[fickle wedge]

would i need to use remote events if i want it to activate from a proximityprompt

[fluid galleon]

ye but server also handles it ig

[fickle wedge]

couldnt i just define the proximitypromt in the server script than use it there

what would be the difference form doing that and using a remote event

[fluid galleon]

you can dude if u use remote even it will be just an extra burden nothing else cuz u have to check from server side or explotiers gonna cook it up

[fickle wedge]

alright ty for helping

[naive temple]

hello, i want to get a random player on the platform with 5000+ account age. how can i do that?

[weak radish]

you don't, you make a table for a few people with age 5k+ and pick random from that

Otherwise you're looping through every single players thats ever played roblox

[solemn flame]

How fucked is my code for first time using anything somewhat advanced

[shy harness]

getting repl in the connect function is wild

never seen that

you should do it at the top

[quaint pine]

that is not advanced : (

[hasty mesa]

is it even possible to have that high of an age set?

[solemn flame]

What is a repl 😭

[shy harness]

oh it’s what i call replicatedstorage

[solemn flame]

Ohh replicated

I heard global values were bad on optimization

[glacial juniper]

whats the best way to go about making a plot saving system like grow a garden?

[solemn flame]

So I only put them in categories they were needed in

[shy harness]

mmmmm well it’s getting replicated storage every time you click the button

[solemn flame]

Oh 😭

[shy harness]

that advice is more for like

global numbers or things like that

stuff like replicated is meant to be global

[solemn flame]

Got it, how's the rest of that several hour hell though?

Went off of half reading the roblox luau tutorial

(Worth it ngl, I've spent so much time trying anything possible to make everything work I learned a decent bit about said things that'll not be forgotten)

[shy harness]

the decal thing is a little silly but otherwise nothing else stands out as bad to me

[solemn flame]

As in the six decal strings to make a image box?

[shy harness]

yeah xD

[solemn flame]

I swear there's a way to do it better, I just dont know it 😭

[shy harness]

you could tag them or put them in a folder and loop over them instead

[solemn flame]

Too lazy if it doesn't bring bad performance, though I do find needing a decal for every cube side unrealistic

Anything to do on that?

[shy harness]

hmm idk the decal system very well

probably

[solemn flame]

Alrighty then, thanks for the help random person

[shy harness]

[warm heron]

can anyone help me with coding a animation into a code i want my quick block to happen when F key is pressed

[fickle wedge]

how do i stop my UI from overlapping on open

so like lets say i have settings opened and i try to open shop, i want it to close settings than try to open shop

[simple forum]

make setting UI visibility false

@fickle wedge

[fickle wedge]

yeah but how would i script that

[simple forum]

Have you started to script it yet?

[fickle wedge]

yes

[simple forum]

lemme have a look

[fickle wedge]

wanna vc?

[simple forum]

generally, you would just do when your shop open, Setting.Visible = false

[simple forum]

I can't rn

[fickle wedge]

oh i want it to do that to all my ui

i have 3 buttons so far

[somber vault]

use .Enabled = false

[simple forum]

that's better

[fickle wedge]

how would i set that up

heres my code if u wanna use it for reference

-- Quest UI
Quest.Activated:Connect(function()
    print("Quest")
    
    -- Sound
    UiClick:Play()
    
    QuestScUI.Enabled = not QuestScUI.Enabled
    Blur.Enabled = not Blur.Enabled
    
    -- Sound
    if QuestScUI.Enabled == false then
        UiClick:Stop()
    end

    -- Checks if the tween is playing and cancels it if true
    if currentTween and currentTween.PlaybackState == Enum.PlaybackState.Playing then
        currentTween:Cancel()
        currentTween = nil
    end
    
    --Tween
    currentTween = tweenService:Create(camera, Blur.Enabled and _TweenIn or _TweenOut, 
        {FieldOfView = Blur.Enabled and 60 or 70})
    currentTween:Play()
end)




-- Shop UI
Shop.Activated:Connect(function()
    print("Shop")
    
    -- Sound
    UiClick:Play()

    -- Blur and Shop UI
    ShopScUI.Enabled = not ShopScUI.Enabled
    Blur.Enabled = not Blur.Enabled
    
    if ShopScUI.Enabled == false then
        UiClick:Pause()
    end

    -- Checks if the tween is playing and cancels it if true
    if currentTween and currentTween.PlaybackState == Enum.PlaybackState.Playing then
        currentTween:Cancel()
        currentTween = nil
    end

    --Tween
    currentTween = tweenService:Create(camera, Blur.Enabled and _TweenIn or _TweenOut, 
        {FieldOfView = Blur.Enabled and 60 or 70})
    currentTween:Play()
end)


-- Timer Display

    while true do
        task.wait(0.01)
        time.Text = string.sub (game.Lighting.TimeOfDay,1,5)
         
    end

[simple forum]

if Shop.Actived then
yourUI.Enabled = false

or just put it in your shop function

[fickle wedge]

so something like this?

-- Shop UI
Shop.Activated:Connect(function()
    if Shop.Actived  then
        QuestScUI = false
        SettingScUI = false
    end
    
    print("Shop")

[simple forum]

i think so, just test it

[fickle wedge]

i cant open anyhting but shop when its like that

[simple forum]

😭 oh

because it's always activated

is the shop.Activated meaning to open the Ui

[proper edge]

What do u guys think

[simple forum]

if you use activated it literally means its always activated and that means you can only open your shop

[proper edge]

Should it be placed behind the players

[fickle wedge]

oh so maybe if shop.activated == true then

[proper edge]

Or should the player be inside it

[simple forum]

is yours a button?

use .Triggered or .MouseClick1

[fickle wedge]

i do activated since my friend said using activated lets mobile players use it to

[simple forum]

holy hell looks fire

[fickle wedge]

he knows 100x more things of scripting than me

[simple forum]

I don't know about mobiles

[proper edge]

thanks 🙂

[fickle wedge]

my freind said he'll do it

[lofty plinth]

Could be the fact the player character has yet to load

[somber raft]

for some reason the animation only loads on server not client,any ideas?

guys u here?

@plucky karma

[hallow crag]

load and play anim on the client

not the server

[somber raft]

how

[hallow crag]

nvm ur already doing on client

[somber raft]

let me send u a vid

[hallow crag]

might be cause ur anchoring the character

just set the players walkspeed and jumppower to 0

instead of anchoring

[somber raft]

lets see

[daring otter]

youre making a quest game?

[somber raft]

yo thank u,instead of tat i just anchored the hum root part

[open sparrow]

i just bought ChatGpt premium give me a hard to do prompt i wanna test the AI

was it 20$

alright make me the saving script for data saving players plot and positiom for each plant @open sparrow

and their size

[open sparrow]

hell naw bro

i ain't making u the whole grow a garden game

[somber raft]

just prompt it u said uwanted a hard prompt,and u dont need to give me the script rtryr it ur self

[open sparrow]

is that ur promt?

i barley understood it, how do u expect the AI to do it

[somber raft]

trust me chat gpt will do it,he helped me a lot

he is smart

especially 4o

[fickle wedge]

no

js something apart of my game

why isnt my tween service working

aah okay
i think youre better off at #code-help

[fickle wedge]

oh shoot

didnt even realize

but i think i figured it out

yeah i got it

it was one small thing

[daring otter]

no worries, just recommended
happy to hear it got fixed

is here anybody 🇨🇿 ? willing to coop in some fun dev ? dms.

[quick vapor]

finding someone who are interested to collaborate me on Punch Button Tower

[crystal bridge]

Hey guys, there are 2 tasks that I need to accomplish (I'm a solo dev that can do everything besides scripting, so I'd like to see if I can learn to do it myself)

Task 1

Enforce 2 second click cooldown: clicks during this cooldown will not reward the player,
Add +1 AuraPower every click,
Scale down / make button slightly more transparent upon click, undo upon click release,
Display AuraPower in the player list
At each AuraPower Milestone have the player Equipped with/display the next level of visual Aura VFX: 10 Aura Power, 50 Aura Power, 250 Aura Power, 1000 Aura Power, 5000 Aura Power, 10,000 Aura Power.

(Each rebirth would give the next line of Aura Visuals for that rebirth level. They are already imported in the game)

Task 2

Rebirth formula: 1000 * (1.7 ^ rebirth count) = rebirth cost,
Display rebirths in the player list,
Set AuraPower to 0,
Increase Stat Point balance by 1,
Trigger rebirth via an UI button
Respawn player infront of a statue/tome

What do you guys think? How easy is it to script this?

[astral geyser]

DM me, i wanna see if i can help

anyone want to help me make a steampunk building game (where you build a blimp and explore)

[crude hamlet]

hey gooners

[fierce karma]

why do games do hitboxes as boxses or seperate parts instead of the normal rig like left arm right arm or left hand right hand yk what i mean i feel it would make the combat smoother and better

[narrow vault]

would you rather want a box for 15 players or 15 x 15 parts for 15 players

which is 225 parts

[fierce karma]

it doesnt exactly need or i to be that though

every punch is a connect to the player like the script

can detect

if lets say its r6

if the left arm touches another player

it deals damage to that other player

[narrow vault]

thats like having a game's foundation run on duct tape and glue

[fierce karma]

how though

the hitboxes are usually never accurate in most games

even if they are they are abit buggy

so doing this can jst prevent many issues

[still dew]

Can someone help me

Im tweaking out right now

this code hurts my soul

[pure smelt]

😦

[narrow vault]

try to add comments, try to use a table where you have a dictionary called connections so you can store them

like

variables.Connections["PlayerAdded"] bla bla

a skid will probably get here and tell me its useless

but its good for practice

while its useless to do that for playeradded events in a script that will always remain, its good for practice

and spacing out the code 2

i see

[raven sonnet]

quick question do u guys think its good approach?

the coroutine

[narrow vault]

instead of coroutines u can use task.spawn

[raven sonnet]

yeah i was using task.spawn but

[narrow vault]

i meant

task in general

[narrow vault]

cuz coroutines are kinda worse than task.blabla

[raven sonnet]

thats why im using coroutine insted

[narrow vault]

imagine u do coroutine.wrap and it errors

[narrow vault]

i see but its up to you
