code-discussion

[pearl blaze]

That's how you get better in scripting

[zealous gorge]

Yup.

[stuck hinge]

does anyone know like the best way to think of game ideas, bro i jus cant think of anything

[safe pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/hi-hello-ermm-silly-cat-ultra-silly-gif-5928626290463323674

[young crescent]

go to roblox website click See More near Trending and see the games in there then copy them its as simple as that

[stuck hinge]

thats boring

[young crescent]

then think of better ideas yourself

[stuck hinge]

no

[young crescent]

if u dont want advice then dont ask for it then

[nova magnet]

yo does anyone that's pretty good at scripting just wanna make a fun project with me and my friend?

[somber vault]

go do coding problems

basically infinite ideas

[next hull]

sup

i have two folders with two spawn areas with their own specifications, what would be the best way to randomly generate a different amount and different type of item for each area?

i was thinking of just storing the folder name, prop amount and the type of props in an array and storing that in another array to be called

[somber vault]

whats the problem with that

[next hull]

idk i was just asking to see if there might be a better solution

[somber vault]

it sounds good enough

[next hull]

cuz rn im gonna have to store each folder's data like this

i mean its not the worst but

yea

[proven cosmos]

My first go at a Death Screen, thoughts?

[next hull]

maybe remove the flash right before the text appears

[somber vault]

you can use a dictionary

[next hull]

theres two flashes and the second one just feels out of place to me ngl

[somber vault]

if readability is the issue

[proven cosmos]

yeah i get it, but i just didnt like what it looked like without it

I've experimented alot of ways, but thanks for the suggestion!

[next hull]

sure i can try

[static coral]

epileptic players: ☠️ (literally)

[proven cosmos]

I mean, it's a death screen, so..

[wise turtle]

Wheres luau

[rotund knot]

tierlist didnt have it but ill put it in B cuz its objectively mid

python my beloved ❤️

Assembly in S for the memes and the guy that made rollercoaster tycoon

[wise turtle]

nahh S tier

its objectively best interpreted language

[slender cairn]

Anyone can try out my game, i need testing

[honest mica]

anyone here know another service or some i been messing with timed notifications. so a push notification that arrives a day later for example it works but im using roblox memory store and it has heavily limited quota

[viscid finch]

This is a questions for any scripter that works for any big game:

Do you pros use github and rojo?

Is studio enough at your level?

[hasty knoll]

im joking

[rotund knot]

used to work on a semi big game
rojo and vsc is a must when u get to a certain point, studio just isnt enough for coding

[slender cairn]

hmm how come though? can you elaborate

[limpid gate]

SOMEBODY SAVE ME

[somber vault]

syntax error?

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function() --yourFunctionCode end)

[white geode]

local doors = script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren("Doors")

for i,v in pairs(doors) do
    if v:IsA("Part") then
        v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
            if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
                print("touched")
                v.Gui.BillboardGui.Owner.Text = hit.Parent.Name.. "'s Tycoon "
                task.wait(0.2)
            end
        end)
    else
        print("not player")
        task.wait(0.2)
    end
end
``` why dose it only run 1 time then stop?

[rotund knot]

at some point youve got so many scripts and other stuff it makes navigating and coding around studio really clunky and slow

[white geode]

nation can you help?

[slender cairn]

oo ai

[dire comet]

Hi there, I'm creating a UI to show the current stage a player is on. Should the local script with the code for this be placed in StarterPlayerScripts or StarterGUI?

What is rojo?

[white geode]

the ui should be on the client side you could put the script to change the stage text there too but hackers could have access to it as its on the client side but if it dose not let you tp or anything should be fine

[rotund knot]

Hm?

[white geode]

thos ^

i kinda forgot

[dire comet]

Oh, thankfully my logic behind the UI switching happens on the server, but thanks for letting me know!

[rotund knot]

want me to fix it or do u want the explanation

[white geode]

yeah thats the better way

[white geode]

explanation if you dont mind

[dire comet]

But where should I place the UI script, in StarterGUI or StarterPlayerScripts?

[rotund knot]

alr so looks like it only runs once cuz print("touched") will only show up when a player touches one of the door parts, no one is touching anything or it only happened once then you'll only see one "touched" printed. Also, the else case in your loop (print("not player")) will run for any object in doors that's not a Part, but only once during the loop, not every frame or touch

[white geode]

where is the script right now?

[rotund knot]

you can use this script to debug,

v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    print("Touched by:", hit.Name)

[white geode]

how do i get it to keep looping?

[dire comet]

Currently, the local script is in StarterPlayerScripts, but I'm debating whether or not I should place it in StarterGUI

[rotund knot]

u run logic constantly instead of js on touch, you can also combine touch + loop

[white geode]

it should not matter its just were you pefer

[white geode]

ty

[dire comet]

Oh okay, thanks for the help.

[rotund knot]

yw, lmk if it works or not

[white geode]

will do

[rotund knot]

try using a boolvalue as a child of the doorpart

then just modify ur script from there

[white geode]

it is a boolbalue

[rotund knot]

oh

[viscid finch]

Thanks for the reply. Do you think github is important?

And do you recommend to beginners to start off using github and rojo or first get ahold of the basics of luau and studio?

[stuck hinge]

whats dat

[rotund knot]

for i, v in pairs(doors) do
    local claimed = v:FindFirstChild("Claimed")  -- Look for the BoolValue object
    if not claimed then
        warn("Claimed BoolValue not found in", v.Name)
        continue
    end

    repeat
        if v:IsA("Part") then
            task.wait(0.2)
            v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
                if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") and not claimed.Value then
                    print("touched")
                    v.Gui.BillboardGui.Owner.Text = hit.Parent.Name .. "'s Tycoon"
                    claimed.Value = true  -- Set the BoolValue
                end
            end)
        else
            print("not player")
        end
    until claimed.Value == true  -- Check the .Value of the BoolValue
end

Try this

[white geode]

okay

[stuck hinge]

BOIIII IM BOUTTA CALL PACKGOD IF U DISS ON BGLOX FRUITS 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[somber vault]

you have to write a program for a specific question

[stuck hinge]

whats the question

[rotund knot]

github is important yea, especially for ur portfolio, having a github is good if ur a beginner and trying to grow ur portfolio, rojo isnt that important until you working on massive projects and even then its pretty easy to grasp

[somber vault]

do you use lua

[stuck hinge]

yeah

[stuck hinge]

was that the question

[somber vault]

no

[stuck hinge]

whats the question

[somber vault]

im just gonna recommend you a website

where you can solve problems

[stuck hinge]

why

[stuck hinge]

but i dont want to

[white geode]

it didnt find the claimed

[somber vault]

ok

[somber vault]

why did you ask me what it is then

[viscid finch]

Can I see your personal github portfolio?

[rotund knot]

thats odd, is it still the same error?

[rotund knot]

oh my github is pretty empty, lmao, I havent gotten around to putting my stuff up there (I should probably work on that)

but uh, dont be like me, you should probably put your work on your github 🙏

[viscid finch]

Did you ever do comms?

[rotund knot]

sometimes, i do comms for my classmates, last i did i made a grade calculator for them

not an actual calculator 😭

it was specifically catered to our courses cuz our professors had wacky grading methods

[hallow crag]

classmates 😭 u can legit just gpt that

[rotund knot]

they pay me to code 🤷

[viscid finch]

How would a scripter with 0 experience at all but has learnt some stuff and made some stuff as personal projects get his first comm? Do you think posting in #scripter-hirable is the best option for the first ever comm?

[rotund knot]

also, AI is like, a cardinal sin in my school, you get crucified if youre caught with gpt or claude in your browser 😭

[hallow crag]

use a python gpt proxy 🤷‍♂️

[rotund knot]

for roblox? then usually try to make stuff that can make your portfolio look good, AI pathfinding, datastores, etc. are pretty good since it shows you understand luau. also helping in #code-help might be able to help you get comms

[rotund knot]

[midnight wigeon]

local ProfileTemplate = require(game.ServerScriptService.DataStore:WaitForChild("ProfileTemplate"))

local ProfileStore = ProfileService.GetProfileStore("PlayerData", ProfileTemplate)

local userId = 5441663311 

local success, result = pcall(function()
    return ProfileStore:WipeProfileAsync("Player_" .. userId)
end)

if success then
    print("data wiped successfully for userId:", userId)
else
    warn("Failed to wipe data:", result)
end

I am using profile server data module and when i try to remove my player data from stuido i ran the above code its printing data wiped succefully but if i rejoin or continue the game my data is still there. why might it be happenning?

[glass maple]

I think it's because you set the userId even though it's different for everyone else

[gilded gyro]

guys is this possible to get a rope to make a bezier system? to make for zipline?

here i am showing the example? ;-;?

mb not 💀 i might try pull this off right now

[dire comet]

How often do you create new scripts, and how often do you recommend creatin new scripts?

[gilded gyro]

idk why and is so hard to make a beizer thing ;-;???

idk why 😭?

it feels so unaccurate :(

[scarlet hound]

is it bad to have lots of server/client scripts?

[gilded gyro]

maybe

[foggy fiber]

Hey everyone,

I’m searching for a solution or a tool—like a virtual animator—that can play animations directly on models or rigs without relying on Humanoids or Animator instances.

The reason is, I want to protect my animations from being stolen by exploiters who use GetPlayingAnimationTracks() to detect and copy them.

If anyone knows of any existing modules, plugins, or custom scripts that handle animation playback completely off the Humanoid system (for example, by directly manipulating CFrames or joint transforms), I’d love to hear about it.

[urban igloo]

Guys, I need help with a really important firepower in VFX. I want to make it into a hit. I'm making a hit system, and when it hits a player, fire will come out and blood will be lost. Please help.

[visual plinth]

looking for someone to give urgent loan

[pearl blaze]

Yeah learn how to organize frameworking using only 2 scripts, local and server.

[scarlet hound]

so put all the logic into modules?

[hallow crag]

put everything into modules and require the modules from the local and server scripts

[pearl blaze]

I was answering not asking

[scarlet hound]

but what does that change

[hallow crag]

its just more organized and cleaner in my opinion

and it means u can run scripts in order

[urban igloo]

can you help me

[hallow crag]

with what

[urban igloo]

I have a problem. I have a fire power in the form of VFX and I do not know how to make a hit and reduce the player’s blood. I tried to do that so that when a player hits someone his blood is reduced and when he hits, power comes out of his hand

[urban igloo]

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local fireVFXTemplate = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FireVFX")
local HitPlayersEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("HitPlayers")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local function createFireVFX(parentPart)
local fireVFX = fireVFXTemplate:Clone()
fireVFX.Parent = parentPart
fireVFX.Enabled = true

delay(1, function()
    fireVFX.Enabled = false
    fireVFX:Destroy()
end)

end

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
local character = player.Character
if not character then return end

local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 then
    local hand = character:FindFirstChild("RightHand") or character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
    if hand then
        createFireVFX(hand)
    end

    HitPlayersEvent:FireServer()
end

end)

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local HitPlayersEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
HitPlayersEvent.Name = "HitPlayers"
HitPlayersEvent.Parent = ReplicatedStorage

local DAMAGE = 20 --

HitPlayersEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local character = player.Character
if not character then return end
local hrp = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if not hrp then return end

local rayOrigin = hrp.Position
local rayDirection = hrp.CFrame.LookVector 

local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {character}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist

local result = workspace:Raycast(rayOrigin, rayDirection, raycastParams)
if result and result.Instance then
    local hitHumanoid = result.Instance.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
    if hitHumanoid and hitHumanoid.Health > 0 then
        hitHumanoid:TakeDamage(DAMAGE)
    end
end

end)

[turbid torrent]

if not result or not result.Instance then return end

You could avoid so much nesting.

[pearl blaze]

I think I've made the best organization module there is

Fuck knit

[night seal]

Guys

[hallow crag]

besides no type checking knit is fire in my opinion

[pearl blaze]

Useless shit

[night seal]

I fucking hate AI

I told AI to make a fully functioning Chess GAME

with all of its rules

it fucking did it

We're cooked

[hallow crag]

uhh u obviously never used it properly

[pearl blaze]

Yeah because programmers always fucking making chess games as their learn projects

Ofc there's code on stack overflow that chat gpt copy

Now asking doing something simple yet bizzare, how will it go?

[night seal]

What you think AI will be capable of after decade?

[pearl blaze]

Nothing

AI doesn't exist, it's a copying machine that copies everything from internet

It won't do better than say something that was already been said

[hallow crag]

ask gpt to make a full roblox game theres gonna be a ton of mem leaks and depricated function usage

[pearl blaze]

Basically a search engine but smarter

[night seal]

then explain image generator AI

[pearl blaze]

Same shit, copying

[night seal]

if it copies everything from internet, how does it generate images EXACTLY like you describe

[pearl blaze]

Because there's many pictures on the internet?

It learned good enough

But nothing else, and nothing new

[night seal]

Nah you idiot. Tell it to generate a giant potato chip licking messi's feet while eating nuggets and playing football in his imagination. does that even exist ???

[pearl blaze]

Generate it, and it's gonna be wrong

[night seal]

it doesn't fuckin exist

[night seal]

Yeah, I know. But that's not the case dude

AI is real bro

[night seal]

explain AlphaEvolve AI

[pearl blaze]

What is it

[night seal]

Did you know that google's latest AI, was able to discover new solutions humanity couldn't discover for 50 years?

And you tell me that it's copy and paste?

@pearl blaze

[spark crest]

how do you know if someone is good at scripting if you don't know any?

[hallow crag]

send a ss of their code here

[spark crest]

its just in general, its not like theres only 1 person available for hire

[hallow crag]

if there uses depricated functions

reusing blocks of code again and again

instead of making a function

you can tell if there using ai by checking if theres alot of comments scattered around

[somber vault]

yo is anyones studio acting weird?

[hallow crag]

yeah roblox died cause gag update

[weak radish]

love when a raycast cant detect between any of those dots

[zenith night]

is there any benefit of adding --!native on top of your script? does it actually do anything?

[shy harness]

it most certainly does

but you probably shouldn't if you haven't done programming in native languages before

but if your script does tons of math it could help

[keen hollow]

Hi guys

[turbid void]

how much would it cost for someone to make this script/system?

user clicks a button that prompts a dev product

if purchased, it will create a text label with a password from an array, there are 10 random passwords to chose from

[flint smelt]

just make like 10000 more raycasts

[weak radish]

Love crashing my pc

i fixed it anyway

[zenith night]

how so

[honest pagoda]

any1 know how that one dude on yt remade the Whole Travis Event on Roblox Like The Aniamtions there is no way he made it

[shy harness]

lua is pretty good at optimizing stuff, but certain operations still have some overhead that native will reduce

like vectors

[zenith night]

are roblox servers shitting themselves again

[gleaming phoenix]

i really want to know how to make the player loads stuff that would not load normally, like when its far

anyone here good at scripting willing to do 50 percent of whatever my new game makes or whatever that thing is called i forgot what its called thanks

[coral field]

im a philosopher now

[coral field]

what is whatever that thing is called blah blah meant to mean

[tawdry wave]

uhh idk i forgot you know what it is

[coral field]

no because i dont know what you are on about

[tawdry wave]

commision idk

been a while

[rapid eagle]

guys

[coral field]

for how much

[rapid eagle]

how script

I forgot

[tawdry wave]

you put the things in the script thing to make it work

[rapid eagle]

:O

like

[coral field]

write some random words test it, it doesnt work scream at your computer quit and never come back

[rapid eagle]

print("hello")

[tawdry wave]

sure

[rapid eagle]

f

r

no srsly I forgot

am I cooked

[coral field]

i want to forget how to code

because then i would be better

learning from my mistakes

[tawdry wave]

50 percent commision anyone also im broke

plssss im bad at scripting

[coral field]

depends

[tawdry wave]

anyone

its a game were you just click on a screen but you can uograde that screen to get mutipliers, those upgrades only have a small chance of happening whcihc makes players stay in the game, also you can do other stuff im missing alot of what the game is abt in this text but theres more t

[cerulean perch]

What networking library you guys using

[static coral]

funny how i started working on my own like 15 mins ago

[cerulean perch]

what yours will have special?

[static coral]

idk im still thinking

figuring out how tf imma use buffers

but i know i will not use m*tatables

[cerulean perch]

then why you doing this

[static coral]

because i dont want to set up replication everytime i make a new project

so i can just import my module and go about my day

and its more optimized

or trying to be atleast

[cerulean perch]

did you check packet?

[static coral]

yes

[cerulean perch]

it does what you need i think

[static coral]

i dont want to skid

[cerulean perch]

i personally been using for a while now, and its pretty good

[static coral]

and suphi kaner is cool but his code is ugly af

i want something i can change easily

[cerulean perch]

you would you change it?

i never tried to edit any library before, why would any one do?

[static coral]

what if it is unoptimized or bloated

or not performing the best it can

thats why i just prefer to make my own

i can barely figure out what the code doing cause its near illegible

and also i dont just want to skid off other modules i want to learn how to make it myself and also better

[cerulean perch]

yea, i think you should make something which solve a problem, there are already many networking libraries, so you can try making something different

[weary gazelle]

does anyone know where i can find a partner to work with ?

[cerulean perch]

here ig

[uncut cloud]

anyone know how to work with fastcastredux

i keep getting this error
ServerScriptService.Modules.FastCastRedux.Signal:90: attempt to index nil with 'Delegate' - Server - Signal:90

Look at line 90

And show code

[uncut cloud]

function SignalStatic:Fire(...)
    assert(getmetatable(self) == SignalStatic, ERR_NOT_INSTANCE:format("Fire", "Signal.new()"))
    local args = table.pack(...)
    local allCons = self.Connections
    local yieldingThreads = self.YieldingThreads
    for index = 1, #allCons do
        local connection = allCons[index]
        if connection.Delegate ~= nil then
            -- Catch case for disposed signals.
            ThreadAndReportError(connection.Delegate, args, connection.Signal.Name)
        end
    end
    for index = 1, #yieldingThreads do

        if thread ~= nil then
            coroutine.resume(thread, ...)
        end

its just FastCastRedux, an open sourced raycasting library

Would anyone (other than me) find use in this?

[shy harness]

json? why json?

[tulip agate]

Anyone need a discord serv for their comms? HMU!

[shy harness]

i know for rbxts you need types, so that would be cool but it already exists (though it kinda sucks)

but why json

[north kiln]

For Rojo's default.project.json file.

Hm.

[shy harness]

hmm

[north kiln]

Or is that just for Rbxts?

💔

[shy harness]

idk

no that's all rojo

does default.project.json give you access to instances?

[north kiln]

Wdym.

[shy harness]

ngl i thought it was just for putting your scripts in places

ohh you want to put scripts under instances

[north kiln]

Yes, precisely.

Also, to avoid Rojo's habit of just deleting instances which aren't referenced/mentioned in the said .json file.

[tulip agate]

Anyone need a discord serv for their comms? HMU!

[shy harness]

it does that?!

[north kiln]

Yes 🥀

[timber parcel]

Hi there,first of all i wanted to say that don't make my fun cuz of this spammer thing.

Anyone here can script a game like grow a garden??

[north kiln]

That's why I made that plugin.

[shy harness]

ok yeah that's cool then i like it

[north kiln]

Why do you have the Spammer thing 😭?

[shy harness]

bro's a likely spammer

[timber parcel]

idk why everyone make fun of me but i don't even spam

[north kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/really-mhm-whatever-dont-care-gif-13098641728410644263

[shy harness]

wait does that mean you can just open up baseplate with a rojo project and sync and all the assets come in? :o

[somber vault]

likely spammer

[north kiln]

I mean, if you have all the information in the .json file theoretically yeah.

I think.

[shy harness]

ngl i wish rojo synced back and forth so you could just yeah

i wonder can rojo put in like custom models

[north kiln]

Don't think so, even though it's a plugin it can't make its own Instance Classes.

If that's what you meant.

[shy harness]

trying to think of all the things that are studio exclusive

animations? model import?

[pearl blaze]

How can I be sure when I'm looping trough folder there will be module scripts on client?

What if not all module scripts replicated?

[hasty oak]

why would u have it in the json file

just use rbxm files

[oak solar]

Nope. Testers and scripters are two different roles. Scripters often test their own code while testers often try to exploit the code to see if the scripter has overlooked anything. This can then be reported back to the scripter to be fixed.

guys is it true because thats what a scripter im trying to hire said

[hasty oak]

cuz localscripts run when everything else is replicated

[dire zephyr]

Is using chat gpt to help me script ok? I’m moderately good and can use module scripts and make semi advanced systems by myself at my current skill level

[lost pebble]

if that were the case, you wouldnt need to use :WaitForChild(). it depends on where it's located

[icy dew]

Yes it's true. No matter how good a scripter is there will always be players who do unexpected things which may or may not cause issues

So it's best to have a team of testers play a game before release

[night drift]

what should i try making all i know is the basics

[oak solar]

in a rng game...

How basic? You could make an intermission system. A system where parts randomly spawn on the baseplate. An ai that attacks. A floor that tweens downwards and destroys after a set time

I did all sort of stuff like that in the beginning

[night drift]

okey i will try ty

[empty mulch]

Sh no one's buying from you

[terse sinew]

I want to get the project off my hands

[empty mulch]

Then sell it in the right channel

[terse sinew]

What channel

[somber vault]

any1 know what there doing with handling moon animator cutscenes and rigging it

[hazy willow]

If anyone can fix some bugs for my “Steal a” type game message me, will pay.

[hasty oak]

no

im right

localscripts are the last to run

modulescripts are already loaded by then

[nocturne solar]

Guys, let’s say I’m making a game that needs to save lots of data and information for each player and each player is storing lots of data; is profileservice the way to go?

[next latch]

Not that useful no since rbxts-object-to-tree plugin already exists which generates you a d.ts file for either your entire Service, or for a specific model, your choice

Alternatively with something like rbxts-build, you can further automate this process by just saving a .rbxm files or even asset place files in your repo and have lune scripts to generate these types

[shy harness]

ghost ping :(

i was reading that

[next latch]

I got blocked for posting link

Rojo syncback is available in UpliftGame's fork, which is supposedly going to be merged sometime this year, but who knows, you can try it out at

[shy harness]

oh lmao

ohhh coooool

[next latch]

check out github UpliftGames/rojo

[lost pebble]

even if the local script is in ReplicatedFirst? (as if you would ever need to do that)

[hasty oak]

no

if its a regular local script

you shouldn't really use replicatedfirst anyways

[lost pebble]

wdym "regular"?

[hasty oak]

regular location

not replicatedfirst

cuz it has special replication priority

[lost pebble]

are you talking about just modules loading before local scripts?

[inland totem]

guys how important are functions

[hasty oak]

yea

[lost pebble]

oh. i took it as everything replicating before local scripts. you might be right in that case then. it might still depend on the location of the two though

[lost pebble]

very

[hasty oak]

only if ur localscript is in replicated first and module isnt

otherwise my statement is correct

[static coral]

dont be brainwashed by functions they are useless you will never use them they arent even real you need to wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up

[lofty plinth]

The only function you need is the function to drink coffee all day and night

[trim raft]

Is there a server for gamejams?

[copper apex]

What about for loading screen

There are 2 types of devs:

Devs that use first and devs that use second one

This maybe a really stupid question, but how do u use OOP in like an efficient way

Many times, my code gets pretty complicated with OOP

And I always have to call .new() for classes

yea now read the post

[sudden estuary]

it doesn't really matter for non physical instances

which is why i said here

[ember nimbus]

name assignment replication

[sudden estuary]

thats a value base instance, changing its name/value after parenting doesn't impact performance

[sudden estuary]

you change the value of value instances every time, why not worry about the replication then

no

[tiny surge]

im a little bit stupid and dont know what you mean 😭
im talking about this

[sudden estuary]

thanks!

[sudden estuary]

are you creating it on server?

yeah

[sudden estuary]

yea its likely a replication delay

and theres a post about it

is this the best series for learning scripting?

[somber vault]

uhh so far for me yes

[left reef]

i want a tutor lol is there any good ones i can pay a good amount

[somber vault]

you should try doing the objectives at the end
they really help

don't focus on just the video and test out what you learn ig

[somber vault]

uhhhh try in #code-help

[clever shale]

I have told the code i have for leaderstats to get my id, how do i call it?

[tepid mulch]

I could fill in that spot if you're still interested

[left reef]

how good are you

and

can you actually teach

[tepid mulch]

Been scripting for 6 years (on and off)

[tepid mulch]

Yes, in a way that's digestable for you

I'd prefer to do it in vc though, I'm a more hands on person

[left reef]

yeah vc but how long have you taught

or have you

[tepid mulch]

I don't have a long history of teaching people because I've only taught a few friends

[left reef]

how long would you teach for

or ig depe nds

[tepid mulch]

4 hours max I guess

[left reef]

bro what

4 hours for the entirity

[tepid mulch]

Oh I thought you meant per session

[left reef]

and how much

[tepid mulch]

It depends on what you want to learn

[tepid mulch]

5$ per hour is fine with me

[left reef]

$5 per hour lmao well yeah

im just trying to learn how to make my own game that ive been working on

and will pay more if its good

[tepid mulch]

I can help you with learning the programming concepts related to your game

We can take this to dm's if you want

[west yacht]

dont fall for it naps

[left reef]

why lol

hes trying to manipulate you

you are better than this

how to increase render distance

[scarlet sparrow]

How do you make a code that saves items in the backpack but also items in your hand for when you leave and rejoin?

[coarse parcel]

Uhh I cant do the code right now (its 4:11 am so I dont have my pc here) but you can assign a number to every item in backpack and character (character for the item in you hand), use DataStore to save them, and then, when you enter game, make the DataStore load these numbers and give the player the items that have the same number that was saved (same with the item in the hand)

[scarlet sparrow]

what

[gray escarp]

like if you get 20% of a game promised to you is there a way to ensure you dont get scammed

like a roblox feature

[viscid finch]

To people who got scripting role: i applied but Idk if it'll get accepted or denied. Do you think having very simple projects and not being really all thata experience will lower my chances of acceptance

    coinvalue.Parent=leaderstats
    coinvalue.Name="Coins"
    coinvalue.Value=0
end)

is there any error here?

[hallow crag]

no but why is coinvalue a global variable

[rain smelt]

i have its value increasing in another function, is there alternate?
also, i dont see the folder in explorer, its somehow isnt working

[hallow crag]

uhh just grab the value from leaderstats

instead of making it a global

[rain smelt]

ill send in a chunck of a code, lmk if you see some concerning errors

it turned into a file apparently

[rotund knot]

viewports are pretty bad for renderng and theyre very resource intensive

[vital bear]

can anyone help me out why is it doing this?

[weak radish]

I love when players is replicates storage

[rotund knot]

why is players replicatedstorage

[weak radish]

I think you meant to name it Replicated storage since it would then work..

[weak radish]

pretty sure it's chatgpt

[rotund knot]

😭

yo if ur gonna use ai to code atleast use a good one 😭

[weak radish]

chatgpt tends to name services exactly what they're called

[rotund knot]

gpt is so ass

[rotund knot]

surprisingly there isnt 5 trillion comments explaining every line though

[weak radish]

I use it to check params when I'm lazy and stuff, wouldn't trust it for a whole script tho

[vital bear]

its a battlegrounds game

[rotund knot]

yh ai is useful for debugging but writing whole chunks of code is a pretty bad idea

[vital bear]

can u tell me why replicated storage is red?

[weak radish]

Well yeah cus if it is chatgpt he tried to only take a bit so it wasn't obvious

[weak radish]

I literally told you

[rotund knot]

deleted the comments 😭

[vital bear]

why?

[weak radish]

bro just read#code-discussion message

[vital bear]

name what replicated?

[weak radish]

Replace "Players" with "ReplicatedStorage"

[vital bear]

got it

[weak radish]

I hate the 50% of non/scripters who need spoonfeeding

[vital bear]

yes i am no scripter

[vital bear]

cuz the scripter is on a 1 month holdiday

im so cooked

[weak radish]

Yes but if you're scripting atleast try

[vital bear]

could you help me out?

is this ai?

look at those comments bro

its so messy its so hard to read

[somber vault]

i know just had to clarify

[rotund knot]

aint even trying to hide it atp

[mellow umbra]

players is :GetService:Players() not replicated storage, you're naming it wrong
you need both players (since u wnat to connect a function upon players adding) and a replicated storage (since u want to require a module in it)

but it was a genuinely funny script ty

[hallow crag]

hes trolling u do know that right

[mellow umbra]

alright alright, if he's not trolling it's okay to help a guy

if he is, then 🤷‍♂️

[somber vault]

they already helped

[fickle wedge]

i spent way to long on a simple code

[hallow crag]

crazy

[fickle wedge]

u see now that u responded

i gotta show u the code

or what i did

[hallow crag]

okay

[fickle wedge]

i LOVE ui scripting

[somber vault]

were you debugging or something

[fickle wedge]

no just scripting ui

im still a beginner in it

https://medal.tv/games/roblox-studio/clips/krZKXmmCgR0ME9Y9k?invite=cr-MSxvR3gsMjA1NDk5MjQ4

[hallow crag]

how long did that take u

and send ss of ur code

[fickle wedge]

dont wanna talk about it

[hallow crag]

thats takes like 10 mins max

[fickle wedge]

took me 2 hours😭

[somber vault]

for me its 5mins

[somber vault]

damn

[fickle wedge]

its ok tho ima be a pro soon

once i learn how to fix ui scripting bugs

im locked in

[hallow crag]

not bad atleast u didnt use gpt

[steel hinge]

what is that code colour bro😭

[fickle wedge]

i would NEVER use that again

[fickle wedge]

i js chose a random one im ngl

[vital bear]

ty and no i aint joking

[hallow crag]

so you understand like the basic data types booleans, string, integers etc

?

[proper veldt]

if you pass an instance to the server side from the client side, does the instance change to the one on the server side?

[vital bear]

check dms

[hallow crag]

if the instance was created on the server or before the game loaded then the instance remains the same when passing to the serverside however you cant pass instances created on the clientside to the serverside

[proper veldt]

its a player gui so it should work then

[urban quarry]

Scripter needed for a VAR system, robux only

[hallow crag]

?

why are u tryna pass a player gui from the client to the server

[proper veldt]

bc the gui has to do with purchasing smt with in-game currency

[hallow crag]

detect when the player clicks the button fire a remote to the server to deduct the currency

[proper veldt]

Exploiters can change the price associated with in from client side so I have to do it from the server side

[hallow crag]

lol what

no

[proper veldt]

So you want me to only deduct the amount from the server side

I mean I can do that too tbh

[proper veldt]

I have the price saved as a NumberValue in the ui instance thats why

I'll just fire the ui instance to the server and check to see if the player has enough for it

[hallow crag]

purchaseButton.Activated:Connect(function()
     remote:FireServer("Test")
end)

-- Server

local Prices = {
    ["Test"] = 10
}

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, itemName)
    if not itemName or typeof(itemName) ~= "string" then return end
    
    local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("Leaderstats")
    local currency = leaderstats:WaitForChild("CurrencyName")

    local itemPrice = Prices[itemName]
    if not itemPrice then return end
    
    currency.Value -= itemPrice
end```

i would do something like this

the prices are completely serversided

[proper veldt]

Ty

[hallow crag]

oh yeah and dont forget to check if the player has enough

u would just do if currency.Value >= itemPrice then

[proper veldt]

Oh yeah ofc

The problem is that I was just running the whole thing from the server-side via a remote event to prevent exploiters from bypassing in any way

I'll just verify the prices alone now

[hallow crag]

yeah you shouldnt do that

just secure ur remote events on the server thats all

[proper veldt]

Alr

[hallow crag]

and dont pass itemPrices into the remote event 😭

just store them on the server

[proper veldt]

They're on the server

[hallow crag]

yeah ik i was just reminding u

[proper veldt]

Ty man

[rain smelt]

partially might be-- but i'm new so pretty much documenting anything i might get confused on later

[rain smelt]

so the task.wait() at the start and the player service kinda got messed up so i never had leaderstats, im cool now

guys can I get some ideas for vfx scripting😭 ? Idk what to do

[wise turtle]

what’s wrong

[rain smelt]

i struggled quite a but on leaderstat so i did anything i could to help myself

[hallow crag]

nice

i recommend cleaning up ur code a little bit

studio has a built in format button

[near quarry]

how to fix pls

code :

local MessageService = game:GetService("MessagingService")

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local GlobalSymbol = ":g"

local allowedUserIds = {1251710945}

local MessageFilter

local function Permission(player)
for _, userId in pairs(allowedUserIds) do
if player.UserId == userId then
return true
end
end
return false
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)

    if string.match(string.lower(message),string.lower(GlobalSymbol)) and Permission(player) then

        message = string.sub(message, 3, 30) 
                    
        pcall(function()
            MessageFilter = game:GetService("TextService"):FilterStringAsync(message, player.UserId):GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync()
        end)
            
        
        if MessageFilter ~= nil then
            local msgData = {Player = player.Name,Text = MessageFilter}

            MessageService:PublishAsync("TextLabel", msgData)
        end
    

    end
end)
MessageService:SubscribeAsync("TextLabel", function(AllData)
    
    local Db = false

    local messageData = AllData.Data
    
    local AllCharacteristics = {messageData.Player,messageData.Text}
    
    ReplicatedStorage.MessageServer:FireAllClients(messageData.Player,messageData.Text)

    
end)

end)

Interesting, what about this one #⭐creations ? Do scripters have a place there?

[urban sail]

Selling an unused slap tower game with a good gimmick for robux.
GUI is done
Scripting is done
Logo and thumbnails are also done

[winter glade]

🗣️

[vital parrot]

just to post videos of their code working I guess

[somber vault]

no one would play ts twin

[urban sail]

😱

not you, but the kids would smh

[foggy plinth]

i mean the concept already exists why do it twice

[urban sail]

one must leech the trend when it exists

[somber vault]

yeahhh But they would play the big one

[foggy plinth]

i mean you can take the obby concept and make a new one not just 1-1 replica of a obby game that already exists ( slap tower )

[somber vault]

or grow a garden

[urban sail]

yeah thats what im saying

its not the same

it has a different gimmick

[foggy plinth]

other than slapping what..

[urban sail]

it's called the flamin slap tower, you burn.

if you don't complete it in 10 minutes

[jovial falcon]

anyone need a simple script? ill do it for 200 robux

[somber vault]

#scripter-hirable

make a post

[foggy plinth]

you can just make it a flaming tower then, the slap concept is already used and would make no reason to make it again

[urban sail]

I feel with slapping it becomes more intense

in the first place I don't have the time to handle the game even if I want to, my vacation ends tmr

[somber vault]

make it with kicking

[vital parrot]

Is anyone here advanced and know meta tables and Projectiles/Bezier Curves? I need to ask them a question

[urban sail]

damn I didn't think of that

[alpine notch]

lol

[rotund knot]

what exactly r you gonna ask

[vital parrot]

do you know how to do smooth projectiles? I'm doing a throwable object and I dont want to use fastcast I want to code this myself I understand everything needed to do it but I'm not sure if I should create the projectile on server and setnetworkownership or fire to all clients to create the projectile and just do checks on server. I'm using it for a bezier curve for throwing an object

https://gyazo.com/9dd61cd7bf010c772daaee699cca50a3

rn im testing both ways to do it and it would be easier if someone knew the best way and just told me

[rotund knot]

do you wanna handle things thru the server, client, or both? i mean simulation + verification

[vital parrot]

I dont really need to simulate verify it on server because I'm thinking ill just need to check their radius when they throw the object to make sure its in range

[rotund knot]

oh thats more simple

hold on

[rotund knot]

you could do,

• server verifies range before allowing the throw
• then the server sends a remoteevent to all clients w/ the data for the throw(curve path start, control, end)
• the clients simulate the projectile locally with a Bezier tween

i havent worked with projectiles much, mostly going off with what I know from documentation

[vital parrot]

bezier tween will be best or should I use velocity?

because I think I can do this with velocity as well with each point

[rotund knot]

that depends, Bezier Tween is more "cartoony" or "smooth" while Velocity is more realistic

if you want an arcade-y feel go with bezier tween

[vital parrot]

what is the difference between bezier tween and a bezier velocity?

[rotund knot]

with tween you manually position the projectile along a bezier curve while w/ velocity you compute the derivative of a bezier curve to basically use it for the projectile's physics

both are good options, really just your preference

[vital parrot]

alright ill have to test both maybe but ill try this

[rain charm]

does anyone know how to remove a background of an effect as a screenshot?

[next hull]

    local totalWeight = 0
    for _, v in pairs(boxes) do
        totalWeight += v.weight
    end
    for _, v in pairs(boxes) do
        v.weight = math.floor(v.weight / totalWeight * 100)
    end
``` is this inefficient

cant think of a better way to turn some values into weights

[vast maple]

hey guys im pretty new at coding why wont this script detect if the victim player is blocking (holding f)

[vital parrot]

pairs and ipairs is deprecated btw

[next hull]

huh

[vital parrot]

just do in boxes do

[next hull]

wait what

when

ive been using for iv in pairs for so long why do i not know this

[vital parrot]

It's not offically deprecated atm actually

[next hull]

noooooo

[vital parrot]

but it's recommended to do it the new way

[next hull]

for i,v in pairs my beloved

ngl i never found out what ipairs do

[vital parrot]

the new way

you dont need it

[next hull]

whats the new way called

gonna go find ze documentation

[vital parrot]

for Index, Box in boxes do

end

[next hull]

straight up in the table?

dayum

bracket not needed either?

dayum

[vital parrot]

if boxes is a table already then you dont need anything else

[next hull]

im assuming a table with key value pairs count?

[vital parrot]

any table counts

[next hull]

nice

u know

ive completely underestimated how hard it is to be a game dev

gotta know UI, coding, 3d modelling, vfx and animations

[vital parrot]

Its not hard tbh once you know how to do everything

[next hull]

sigh

gonna take a while ngl

[quiet stone]

is this script works (teamCheck) script
(im bad at scripts i dont know what should i do if u can fix the script ill be really happy)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if player.Team == 'YourTeamName' then
print('Yes, player is in that team')
else
print('No')
end

[vital parrot]

you dont need to model if you know people to do it for you

[next hull]

so far id say im 20% on UI, 50% on coding, 50% on 3d modelling, 1% on vfx and 0% on animations

[vital parrot]

animations and ui aint that hard though

[next hull]

not looking so good

ye but it takes some time getting used to

picked up figma recently

still quite not used to the controls yet

[next hull]

too late lol

animations i have no idea

[vital parrot]

im not into animating but its not hard im just not good at making good animations

[next hull]

i think i have to learn rigging first

blender my beloved

[vital parrot]

there is a rigging plugin I believe

that is real easy

[next hull]

nice

[true fern]

lets talk about your indenting first

[true fern]

no, that just uses pairs by default.
using next is faster + bypasses __iter

[copper apex]

It takes long to learn everything id rather just get better at one thing

[vast maple]

my what

[true fern]

spacing

[vast maple]

oh yeah uhm

[hallow crag]

its not its just recommended to use the general iterator

[vital parrot]

thats what I said below that

[hallow crag]

oh mb

[vital parrot]

here

yeah

I thought they were deprecated at first

then looked it up and noticed I was wrong

[hard adder]

how can i do this: removes part of a terrain and the better the axe, the more terrain it removes. also add a gem spawn with different rarities and chances of showing.

[severe panther]

how can i prevent players from tab-glitching

[glossy wave]

By tab glitching do you mean the freezing roblox?

[severe panther]

yes

[vital parrot]

Didnt know that was a thing till now

I need to fix that for my game as well

[vital parrot]

[viscid finch]

Guys do you think learning time service would benefit me as a beginner?

[vital parrot]

time service?

[viscid finch]

Time.tick and time.os

Idk if it's a service

[vital parrot]

tick(), os.clock(),os.time()

[viscid finch]

Yeah those

[vital parrot]

its not a service though

[viscid finch]

My bad

[vital parrot]

os.clock and tick is pretty useful if you want everything timed correctly

like projectiles

like Projectiles * dt * speed

[vital parrot]

I would start smaller though and do Remotes then modules then meta tables

those are the main 3 things to learn to being a pro

but if that's too hard go lower and keep practicing remotes

[viscid finch]

Do you consider yourself a pro?

[silver verge]

os.clock() isn't dt

[vital parrot]

I didnt say it was

who said it was??

[silver verge]

then why is that your example

[vital parrot]

good point

it's still something similar os.clock as the starttime and then subtracting it with another os.clock to get the time difference

[silver verge]

that would just be a delta

[vital parrot]

yes dt

[silver verge]

different from dt passed by runservice lifecycle functions

theyre diff concepts but yeah

tracking your own time differences vs deltatime passed from those

[vital parrot]

I say im a pro I can code anything that I put my mind to

[vital parrot]

https://gyazo.com/127959382fbee248209548533b94437f
https://gyazo.com/72da1d7620ad1eb08fb77c4f385d9e0e

Coded these

It's not fully finished yet

https://gyazo.com/3953eb27f99aa42e30a2295f1a6dec07

Another thing Ive coded

All of those dinos are clientsided but the movement is controlled on server

[coarse parcel]

It looks good

[vital parrot]

thanks

[vital parrot]

Im gonna have to recode it better but I'm planning on doing it soon after I finish my current game

I noticed I could of done a lot better

[coarse parcel]

I have a script that have 1700 lines and that you can easily recode it to make it like 300 lines, but too lazy to do it (lol)

[vital parrot]

yeah I dont like messy code I recode a lot

if you got 1.7k lines there is something wrong lol are you using modules?

gotta keep it organized

[viscid finch]

You ever done comms?

[vital parrot]

never have they always want more than its worth

I used to get 800 or so robux each day from my own games and they wasn't that good at the time

I have trouble finishing most of my projects but I'm trying to fix that. My current game is almost finished

[viscid finch]

This is a good goal. To be able to script whatever you put your mind to. How long would you think it would take to get to this level?

[coarse parcel]

Yeah, the thing is, that thing controls most things of my game

[vital parrot]

I just recently gotten good at it and started learning everything I can but I've been coding 10 years off and on. I code more now than I ever did so I think 1-2 years if you're constantly coding and learning

[viscid finch]

Have you personally turned this into a full time?

[vital parrot]

I'm hoping to put out a few projects all of my dev friends has games with over 100 people on them

so hopefully I get some soon I need sponsor money for my games atm so it might be awhile till I can actually get anywhere

[covert olive]

any1 know how to script profilestore? i need help making the inventory of the plr save

[vital parrot]

This game right here might go somewhere not sure about my current game though

the current one is kinda like spleef

you collects coins and then use them to buy traps and weapons

with falling platforms of course

[weak radish]

Atleast try to be modest

Those things aren't anything extremely difficult either

So maybe best not to brag

[vital parrot]

Im not bragging all I said was I can code anything

Doesnt meen I can code a full game

[weak radish]

Bro what

[vital parrot]

and those npcs are using raycast on server to control movement

[weak radish]

"I can code anything" "Except some stuff..."

[vital parrot]

it's more difficult than you think

[weak radish]

And?
