when the player leaves it gets the timestamp that they left at

when they rejoin, it calculates how much time passed and how much each plant has grown, grown fruit, etc

Guys

How much robux is good for the first commission?

[thick oxide]

I need help. I'm calling all children from replicated storage and its saying stack overflow. How do I fix this?

local Room = {}
Room.info = require(script.RoomInfo)
Room.lastTurnDirection = nil
Room.random = Random.new()

function Room.GetRandom(PrevRoom)
    local PossibleRooms = game.ReplicatedStorage:GetChildren() <--The error
    local RandomRoom = PossibleRooms[Room.random:NextInteger(1, #PossibleRooms)]
    
    
    local Direction = Room.info[RandomRoom.Name]["Direction"]
    local HasStairs = Room.info[RandomRoom.Name]["Stairs"]
    local PrevHadStairs = Room.info[PrevRoom.Name]["Stairs"]

    if (PrevRoom.Name == PrevRoom.Name)
        or (Direction and Direction == Room.lastTurnDirection)
        or (HasStairs and PrevHadStairs) 
    then
        return Room.GetRandom(PrevRoom)
    else
        if Direction then
            Room.lastTurnDirection = Direction
        end

what the fuck is "HSRDataContentProvider" service?

like bro it does nothing there isn't a single command for it

[wary furnace]

so I have this gui displaying the coins and gems you have while its also displayed in the leaderboard stats, is there a way I can make the leaderstats for coins and gems not show while still keeping the amount you have in the gui ?

the parent for coins local script is the text label

[hoary cedar]

Sure. Just don't store the data in a "leaderstats" folder

[wary furnace]

So just change the name of the folder to anything ?

[hoary cedar]

Yes. Make sure to update your references

[wary furnace]

Hmm it’s not working

The text label just goes back to saying “label”

[hoary cedar]

@wary furnace

[wary furnace]

Yea I updated all of them I’m currently playing around and trying to see what’s the issu

[late flint]

@pearl inlet

its optimization tactics

[pearl inlet]

what

[late flint]

local variables faster than global

go benchmark

[pearl inlet]

you still use the global var

through the local one

[late flint]

yes but it loads onto stack faster from local

doesnt call __index of fenv metatable

to call them every time

i can make benchmark and send

[pearl inlet]

wait lemme find your application real quick

• #staff-help

not here

[late flint]

application id [removed]

[pearl inlet]

found it already

dw

[late flint]

at least i can agree on it being hard to read

[pearl inlet]

in a loop

[olive needle]

Yo can anyone help me install react and typescript?

[late flint]

yes in a loop and also when its used more than once

wait shit am i not supposed to open a ticket for this

[pearl inlet]

you can

[late flint]

time to figure out how to open ticket

[dense aspen]

hi

can anyone help with my problem?

the multiplier breaks completely

[late flint]

yep opened now i have no idea what happens next

[dense aspen]

this is the upgrades script ```lua
priceInt = game.ReplicatedStorage.priceOfUpgrade
clicksInt = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("clicks")
clicksMul = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("clickMultiplier")
plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

--plr.PlayerGui.clickUIScreen.clickUIFrame.upgradesButton.Text = "Price: "..100
priceInt.Value = 100
plr.PlayerGui.clickUIScreen.clickUIFrame.upgradesButton.Text = tostring("Price: "..priceInt.Value)
button = script.Parent
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if clicksInt.Value >= priceInt.Value then
clicksInt.Value = clicksInt.Value - priceInt.Value
plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.currencyFrame.clickLabel.Text = tostring(clicksInt.Value)
priceInt.Value = priceInt.Value * 2
plr.PlayerGui.clickUIScreen.clickUIFrame.upgradesButton.Text = tostring("Price: "..priceInt.Value)
clicksMul.Value = (clicksMul.Value) * 1.5

    plr.PlayerGui.clickUIScreen.clickUIFrame.mulLabel.Text = tostring("Multiplier:"..clicksMul.Value.."X")
    plr.PlayerGui.clickUIScreen.clickUIFrame.doublePer.Text = tostring(clicksMul.Value * 2)
end

end)

and this is the pass script ```lua
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local clickMultiplier = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("clickMultiplier")
clickMultiplier.Value = 1

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

MarketplaceService.ProcessReceipt = function(receiptInfo)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerByUserId(receiptInfo.PlayerId)
if not player then

    return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.NotProcessedYet
end

if receiptInfo.ProductId == 3306982751 then
    clickMultiplier.Value = clickMultiplier.Value * 2
    player.PlayerGui.clickUIScreen.clickUIFrame.mulLabel.Text = tostring("Multiplier: "..clickMultiplier.Value .."X")
    player.PlayerGui.clickUIScreen.clickUIFrame.doublePer.Text = tostring(clickMultiplier.Value * 2 .."X")
    

end

return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.PurchaseGranted

end```

[woeful gate]

guys how much robux would i need to pay a scripter to make a round based system game where you steal the object and keep your bar green by holding it if it drops to zero you die so steal it back from others to survive?

[hoary cedar]

Applications are ridiculous

[hoary cedar]

10k-15k

[woeful gate]

fr?

[ruby cipher]

nah what

[woeful gate]

is it that complex?

[ruby cipher]

takes like 20 mins

[hoary cedar]

Any respectable Luau scripter will charge you the DevEx rate

[ruby cipher]

no way 10-15k

[hoary cedar]

That costs $35

[woeful gate]

thats what i thought too im asking for something very simple yet i dont know how to code

[pearl inlet]

Not rly. They just have specific / bit strict rules

[woeful gate]

im not going to overpay becuase roblox dev ex rates are trash

they dont like it they can switch to unity or fortnite

[hoary cedar]

That's the value of R$

Pay in USD if you're unhappy with it

[marsh kelp]

someone who wants you to work for them and they'll pay in pets:

[woeful gate]

get that coders want to dev ex but for a simple game 10k robux feels high… im looking for fairer deals based on project size

[lilac gale]

then learn to script without worrying about costs

gamedev without doing half the work costs money

you have to understand that

[marsh kelp]

you don't need to pay in Robux, you can pay in USD

[hoary cedar]

It may seem like a lot to you, but to those who earn it instead of buy it, its value is a lot less impactful

[lilac gale]

cuts costs by 70% 😭

[marsh kelp]

devex rate is only used if you earnned from your game

[woeful gate]

ok I get you want to cash out but I’m not overpaying just because dev ex rates are bad… im paying based on the work not the cash out value 🤷‍♂️

[lilac gale]

paypal, cash app, venmo, visa gift cards

all methods of cash payment that are 70% the cost of robux post devex

[marsh kelp]

no one gets payed in devex rate and go to buy clothes, they do withdraw it in cash

[lilac gale]

only time i’ve accepted robux is for ad credits

[marsh kelp]

that's why you seem people don't accept Robux at all

[marsh kelp]

but you can get USD and pay ad credits with it?

maybe easier for the taxes?

[woeful gate]

ok i get that earning robux feels different than buying it but value should still be based on the work done imo

[lilac gale]

just checked, turns out usd is an option

[marsh kelp]

no one said it's not, but if you pay in potato we need to pay as much potato as the cash value

you don't pay 60$ for a job then pay 60potato*** for the same job

[lilac gale]

the value you're giving is significantly less than if you just paid in ANY other method

is there a reason why you're so adamant on not paying in the cash equivalent

[marsh kelp]

maybe they don't understand how devex works

or at least that's the only reason I can think of

[lilac gale]

first you have to pay over 1.4x to cover taxes ALONE
then you have to pay over 70% to cover devex
its much worse than covering sales tax lol

[woeful gate]

Ok I get the comparison but robux isn’t a reliable currency like cash 😭 plus dev ex rate takes a big cut the robux price shouldn’t be as high as the cash value… 😑

[lilac gale]

your point is that

robux isn't reliable so i should pay less
devex takes a LARGE cut from the SCRIPTER so i should pay them less

[marsh kelp]

tbh we all want the devex rate to be higher or the same price that you buy Robux in

but what can we do?

[hoary cedar]

Yeah. Just about $35

[woeful gate]

taxes and dev ex take most out of the money so paying full cash in robux doesn’t make sense………. the buyer ends up paying way more than the scripter actually gets… 😬

[marsh kelp]

Agree

[lilac gale]

so explain why you’d rather pay in robux

[marsh kelp]

that's why you should pay in cash

[woeful gate]

no

not gonna do it

[lilac gale]

no reason lol

[woeful gate]

i dont have too

if i have robux i will use robux

any1 can take the offer if there willing

[lilac gale]

good luck

[marsh kelp]

Oh I get it now, you prefer knowing the value based on work.. then pay 70% less

good deal

[lilac gale]

i think hes just not old enough to pay in cash

most people who offer robux are either ugc creators, or just kids

[marsh kelp]

then don't pay in kids currency

or only give it to other kids

[marsh kelp]

yeah they will get it to pay clothes or gamepasses

[marsh kelp]

some people ( young one ) price their work at a rate lower than 1k Robux.

[lilac gale]

idk how you get confirmation from 5 people that it's a certain amount, argue that it isnt, and leave lol

[lilac gale]

the only problem is

ive been hired to fix systems that those kids create (sometimes even people who were paid a good amount)

and its completely shit

[marsh kelp]

I don't agree with it but you'll get the quality you ask for without complaining about the adults pay rate

[marsh kelp]

that's not a problem but a business plan :D

[lilac gale]

tru

[marsh kelp]

then you ask for the real rate xD

[hollow burrow]

me when paypal cashapp and basically everything is blocked in my country

[lilac gale]

g2a and other resellers sell visa gcs

[pine torrent]

I was assigned to improve a gun system
I looked inside, was amazed like seriously how good it is
Did nonsense shit because tf the system is perfect

[hollow burrow]

thats just robux

[pine torrent]

💔

[lilac gale]

i have NEVER experienced that

[lilac gale]

i dont think you understood

[marsh kelp]

😭

[pine torrent]

Proper cache pool, proper organisation

[lusty patrol]

whats vibe coding

[woeful gate]

if u dont like the rates roblox offers epxlore other platforms like unity or forttnite roblox isnt a place where most people make a full time living 😂

[pine torrent]

No nonsense shit and uses coroutine

[lilac gale]

and here i'm stuck with someone using proximity prompt service to handle individual proximity prompts

[marsh kelp]

paypal was banned in my country, and they only lifted the ban in 2023

[lilac gale]

and thus triggering whenever any proximity prompts fire

[lilac gale]

sounds like a you problem when i find people who accept my rates w/ no quarrel

[hollow burrow]

coroutine usage is not good though

[hollow burrow]

still banned in mine

[pine torrent]

It didn't matter much

[lilac gale]

i dont think you want all your code to run parallel all the time

certain cases where it cant

[woeful gate]

idk if its going to be a problem i havent created a post yet

[pine torrent]

Coroutine was used perfect

[pine torrent]

You got genius coder

[marsh kelp]

I heard you can make an international bank account but it'll have an insane tax rate to keep the account open

[woeful gate]

@lilac gale i understand ur still learning but its important to accept how things really work

[hollow burrow]

visa is blocked in my country actually

[lusty patrol]

where would yall recommend for others to go to when it comes to learning lua?

[hollow burrow]

like you can't use visa cards

[marsh kelp]

not visa

[hollow burrow]

like they made 1 card type available

[marsh kelp]

you don't have any international bank*** supported in your country?

[lilac gale]

its okay to be embarrassed that you can't ask mommy to pay a scripter

[hollow burrow]

no no the goverment made 1 card type available that can't interact with the other ones

[lilac gale]

thats what it looks like from here

[pine torrent]

If exactly LUA, then to electronics & WiFi programming

[lusty patrol]

whgat

[pine torrent]

Lua + java

[lusty patrol]

i mean like roblox lua

[lilac gale]

have you learned programming in the past?

[hollow burrow]

and you can't use the other card types for payments

[lusty patrol]

nope

[lilac gale]

if so just learn the engine and what roblox offers

[pine torrent]

LUAU, then use devforum

[lusty patrol]

i only watched brawldev videos and terrible youtube tutorials

[lilac gale]

learn general programming languages not specific to roblox first so you have programming knowledge
then apply that to lua

most people who learn lua from tutorials dont understand core parts of programming since theyve never learned it

[pine torrent]

Lua is simple to read

You can't struggle

[marsh kelp]

when the gov wants to hurt their economy :(

[lusty patrol]

i thought lua was a good and easy beginner language

why do i gotta learn java and stuff

[hollow burrow]

its cuz of the sanctions

not cuz of the goverment

[pine torrent]

It's in fact easy beginner language

[lilac gale]

never said learn java

[hollow burrow]

crypto still works tho

[lusty patrol]

java is a general programming language not specific to roblox

[lilac gale]

russian?

[woeful gate]

u know what im just gonna come out and say it... ur an idiot if u think u can make a living off of roblox..

period

[lilac gale]

putting words in my mouth

[hollow burrow]

ye

[lilac gale]

different programming paradigm youre forced to use

[pine torrent]

Vikinglaw making bands out of his game 💔

[lilac gale]

makes sense, had friends w/ similar problems

[lusty patrol]

like?

[marsh kelp]

what? but I heard that Russia had a good economy/job market

[pine torrent]

Crypto ye

[woeful gate]

i mean some ppl can but most cant

[lilac gale]

almost everything is exclusively oop

[hollow burrow]

good thing rent is 200$ and u can make 5k a month just from comms

[lusty patrol]

russia does not have good economy dawg

[pine torrent]

Everything else no

[pine torrent]

I agree

[lusty patrol]

dude whats oop

[pine torrent]

Object oriented programming

[lilac gale]

just learn an easy language

[lusty patrol]

yea
luau

[pine torrent]

Python

[lilac gale]

didnt take a single point i made

good luck

[pine torrent]

C++

[woeful gate]

lol no wonder why u roblox devs r ovepricing ur trying to make a living off of roblox 😭 theres nothing wrong with that but u guys need to srsly chill with the prices

[hollow burrow]

there are people that pay those prices

and alot of them

[pine torrent]

Look at how much groups are making

[woeful gate]

remember unity or fortnite is always an option

[lilac gale]

c++ was what made programming so much easier for me in the beginning

[hollow burrow]

if you can't hire someone good for the price they asked then find someone worse

[lusty patrol]

i kinda agree with them cause half of their commissions are prob people asking for help in their grow an italian brainrot simulator 99 or smth

[lilac gale]

remember this conversation ended 15 mins ago

hop on #scripter-hirable

[woeful gate]

ur a roblox dev ofc u agree with them thats what u want for ur self

[marsh kelp]

bro you'll scare him for life

[lilac gale]

arent you also a game dev?

[lusty patrol]

i have made exactly 0 games

[lilac gale]

calm down

[hollow burrow]

you're the problem

[marsh kelp]

they want to pay less than 5$/1.500Rbx

[hollow burrow]

YOU ARE BROKE

[lusty patrol]

i know literally almost nothing about luau

[lilac gale]

why dont you just find a scripter

[woeful gate]

im perfectly calm ur the own constan replying my messages u over dramatic person 😂

[hollow burrow]

ur so stupid bro

[marsh kelp]

+1

[lilac gale]

ive asked you 3 times why are you not willing to pay in usd

dodged it all 3 times

[hollow burrow]

cuz he doesn't make any money he's 12 yo

[lilac gale]

actually replied to my bait instead of my question

[woeful gate]

simple project dont see the need to do it

[lilac gale]

read what he replied to lol

[lilac gale]

meaning you're broke

[hollow burrow]

AHAHAHHAAHAHAHHA

[marsh kelp]

you're not the one who can say what's simple, the expert is

[lilac gale]

the same person who'd pay in exposure and percentages btw

(game isnt open for release and a total of 0 ccu)

[woeful gate]

u mean the roblox dev who will overprice

[lusty patrol]

approximately how long will it take me to learn python

[woeful gate]

lawl ur so funny

[lilac gale]

2 weeks

[lusty patrol]

oh that's not that bad

[lilac gale]

its not hard at al

basics within a week

[marsh kelp]

you don't need to listen to one person or 2.. just see the market prices

[vestal flame]

i got a custom made backpack made to match my hotbar ui i have, and when u toggle it u cant see the image of the items or the names. any idea how to fix or anyone who could help?

[lilac gale]

it really isnt. i hope you find programming fun, though! don't learn lua just for roblox, i suggest checking it out for other parts of your life if programming interests you

[woeful gate]

lol some rando told me i had to pay 100 bucks to create the project

in dev discussion

[lilac gale]

#scripter-hirable

[woeful gate]

lmao i cant trust what any1 says in this server now ngl

[lusty patrol]

ok lets think this logically

several roblox scripters are telling you the same range of price

[marsh kelp]

depends on the person... it took me 2 weeks to understand what the f variables are ( even though I know but got confused by the ppl teaching )

[woeful gate]

only one told me 100

it was @jaunty path

[pine torrent]

I think @woeful gate is a ragebaiter

[lusty patrol]

time to learn the basics of python ig

[lilac gale]

variables were the easiest thing to learn
most people struggle with using roblox studio's tools however

[woeful gate]

finally some dude who isnt trying to take advantage of the situation like u guys

[woeful gate]

💀

[lilac gale]

hire him

shoo shoo

[pine torrent]

Roblox tools feel like blender functionality, literally you scroll in Insert panel and find out so much shit you can shaman with

Use single script for all kill bricks 👍

[marsh kelp]

Not if you're learning in English when you don't speak it.
I did understand the concept and was using it, but the word itself was new to me.

[lilac gale]

variables are a universal concept in math though?

[woeful gate]

how much robux should i pay to make this game a reality? Game Concept:
A round-based competitive multiplayer game.
Players start in a lobby.
At round start, players are teleported to random spawn points on the map.
One player is randomly chosen to hold a core object.
Players steal the core from others to become the holder.
Holding the core fills a personal bar; not holding it drains the bar.
If a player’s bar drains fully, they die (eliminated from the round).
The round lasts for a fixed time limit (e.g., 90 seconds).
If time runs out, player holding the core with the fullest bar wins.
If only one player remains alive, that player wins.
After a round ends, players return to the lobby, and a new round begins automatically.

[lilac gale]

i thought there'd be a direct translation

[pine torrent]

Still can't understand what variables mean but my head knows what it os

[lusty patrol]

isn't this just hot potato

[lilac gale]

inverse hot potato

[rapid panther]

How should I handle Dev Product purchases, like what event should I use from MarketplaceService, it only needs to grow all plants like in grow a garden basically so its just a repeatable purchase

read it wrong

read it for a calm 20 seconds

[lusty patrol]

is it cause half of the time theyre wrong

[pine torrent]

Codehelp is a dismorale organisation

[lilac gale]

ignores your questions, and if you're terrible you're gonna be turned into a gif

[pine torrent]

They'll shit on you

[lilac gale]

its #1138134620341272677 2

[rapid panther]

yep

[lilac gale]

exhibit a

[marsh kelp]

unless it's on the devforum.

the devforum is the best ❤️

[pine torrent]

Devforum is best place to ask for help, but you need investigate your issue deep enough before pisti

[lilac gale]

until the guy with a chatgpt wrapper replies to your question and does not solve it at all

[pine torrent]

Posting

Otherwise they'll send you link to issue

Telling you to read how it works first

[marsh kelp]

Agree, I didn't even post most of my problems when I was learning but found them on the devforum

[lusty patrol]

where would you guys recommend others to learn luau besides dev forums?

[hollow burrow]

ask ai bro

[pine torrent]

Bro that's the only place

[lusty patrol]

are you deaduzz

[pine torrent]

Maybe YouTube

[hollow burrow]

and if it doesn't have an answer then

[lilac gale]

isnt there an official roblox scripting tutorial

[hollow burrow]

find it

[marsh kelp]

does it work for you? mine is always drunk

[lusty patrol]

i'm not touching youtube

watched a raycast tutorial and it set me back hours

[hollow burrow]

nah i never used ai ever

but i asked it 1 question "where to start scripting"

[lilac gale]

for anything above beginner level it begins using deprecated methods

[pine torrent]

Mine used wait() in big 2025

[hollow burrow]

and it answered really good

[rapid panther]

AI dont work well usually I used it a lot like two months ago and your better off just asking for help cause itll give you outdated stuff as well

[hollow burrow]

yeah mb for scripting its actually really bad

[lilac gale]

it would allow you to manage their connections in one big place

better than hundreds of individual scripts

[hollow burrow]

if you can just find someone competent to help you

and willing

[lilac gale]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/CollectionService

[hollow burrow]

willing is important

[pine torrent]

Thx for sending it for me

I cba

[marsh kelp]

that's what it'll look like at first but when you actually look again at the answar you'll find it's the most basic one

[hollow burrow]

but it's like most good scripters didn't have anyone good helping them

so you dont really need it

[pine torrent]

Devforum

[hollow burrow]

but every question has already been asked

[pine torrent]

Roblox forums

[hollow burrow]

i never asked anything

you just need to know how to google

[marsh kelp]

and that's the best thing about it

[hollow burrow]

and the learner mentality

[lusty patrol]

is the roblox ai assistant any good for scripting

[pine torrent]

No

This shit is intended for degenerative people

And still wouldn't work

[marsh kelp]

Never touch it

[lusty patrol]

dev forums it is

[pine torrent]

It failed to create kill brick with print statement

[marsh kelp]

after thinking for 5 hours and deleting ( or trying ) all of your other scripts

[pine torrent]

I told it once to create a timer gui

Guess what

[marsh kelp]

deleted the game?

[lusty patrol]

made a pipe bomb

[pine torrent]

No, it made send remote event each 100ms to check time and send to client!!!

[marsh kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/nerf-nerf-no-admin-gif-20438884

[pine torrent]

Simple asf

I can tell you now

[lusty patrol]

i could prob figure it out

[pine torrent]

It's easier than you think

[lusty patrol]

the only problem is i have to memorize like 3 billion variables or whatever

[marsh kelp]

you don't need to memorize anything

maybe when first starting.. but with time it'll all come to you without trying

[lusty patrol]

yea i do

[lilac gale]

what if you want the server to do something?
it’ll be more annoying to set up 300 remote events

[marsh kelp]

or like the rest of us. you'll search for it

[lusty patrol]

whenever i try to make somthing and for the love of god can't figure it out

[lilac gale]

and connections are not as expensive as you think unless they’re created constantly for no reason

[lusty patrol]

9/10 times it's because i didn't know the variable for it

[lilac gale]

you don’t have 9 million kill brick connections

don’t micro optimize every facet of your beginner game

no reason

[marsh kelp]

will ... some stuff, but not a lot and not everything

[lusty patrol]

terry davis

[lusty patrol]

oh ya

quick question

when it comes to exploiters who use local scripts

how do you patch that

[pine torrent]

U can't

[marsh kelp]

kill the local script

[lusty patrol]

do you just make an anti cheat or do you have to change it to be server sided

[pine torrent]

Bro

Don't think about anti cheat just yet

You're too inexperienced

[marsh kelp]

you sure you're a beginner?

[pine torrent]

There's a whole different system on anti cheat

[lusty patrol]

yes

i don't even know how to handle data

[pine torrent]

It requires tons of knowledge on how roblox works

[lusty patrol]

i don't know remote events or tables

i don't know how to make a gun even though i'm halfway there

[marsh kelp]

in simple terms, you don't patch it but verify everything on the server

[copper apex]

Variables arent that hard to memorize?

[pine torrent]

Depends on the exploit btw, and the script they used

[marsh kelp]

but that's something that even the most experienced programmers struggle with... so don't think about it now

[pine torrent]

Solara integrates inside player module scripts and it's basically impossible catching out

[lusty patrol]

ok then uhh

[pine torrent]

UI scripts are in CoreGui which is inaccessible by default

[marsh kelp]

for simple ones you can

[lusty patrol]

how do i make a gun once i'm done with the ray cast thing

[pine torrent]

No shit uses simplicity nowadays, too much deprecated shit

[copper apex]

IIf youre new just watch the brawldev series then after that make small projects from what you learned, you will learn more about scripting and programming in general once u start practicing cuz then you will be googling all the time

[pine torrent]

The _G exploit got patched

[lusty patrol]

i'll be honest

i don't wanna touch his advanced scripting guide

[copper apex]

Do you want to learn?

You gotta get out of your comfort zone

IF you REALLY want to learn

[pine torrent]

Don't think about anti exploit until you're somewhere in advanced knowledge which is further than you think

[marsh kelp]

and touch everything you don't want to touch

but not math

[lusty patrol]

that's like

the only thing i'm good at

[pine torrent]

math in Roblox is simple and i totally didn't fck up raycast

[pine torrent]

U mainly use magnitude, xyz and vector3

[lusty patrol]

whats magnitude and vector3

[pine torrent]

🙏

[marsh kelp]

what's math in Roblox? i love vectors but not CFrames

no CFrames and no physics

[copper apex]

I mean thats kind a vague questiopn

[pine torrent]

Usage of coordinating, positioning, raycast and basically something more

[marsh kelp]

well I don't know the math I hate if I knew I wouldn't hate it

[pine torrent]

Vector3 is 3D space

[copper apex]

The math you will use is pretty much simple, unless you are making something advanced

Or physics related

[pine torrent]

Vector2 is used for gui

[pine torrent]

Usually it's alr integrated

Like springs

Or wheel logic

[marsh kelp]

:((( the fun stuff are all advanced math

[lusty patrol]

whats cframes used for

[copper apex]

Yeah i use Quenty's spring module from his nevermore engine

[marsh kelp]

ask robin not the one who hates math

[lusty patrol]

do yous eriously think

i know who robin is after joining this server less than a hour ago

[marsh kelp]

@copper apex

[copper apex]

CFrames tells you the position and orientation of an object

Vector3 is just the position

[lusty patrol]

orientation as in if an object is rotated

or if they change color or shape or smth

right?

[copper apex]

Orientation is the rotation of the object yes

Its not the color

Its easier to think of them as matrices

[marsh kelp]

you think they know matrices?

oh it's a math thing right?

[copper apex]

Matrices arent that hard to understand

[pine torrent]

If you can't 3d then learn 4d

Waiting for vector4 to drop

[copper apex]

Space-time yes

[marsh kelp]

yeah agree but you don't see them unless you need to

[copper apex]

Let's add space time in roblox!

[lusty patrol]

isn't that calc or is that alg 2

[copper apex]

I took a matrix theory class

Thats where I learned it

Idk where else it could show up

But they could show up anywhere honestly

[lusty patrol]

i learnt it a lil bit in alg 2

where its like

[2 4] + [3 6] = [5 10]
[5 7] + [5 1] =[10 8]

[copper apex]

Yeah pretty much

[marsh kelp]

if you're good with math then you'll have an easier time learning to program

it's mostly logical thinking after you learn the syntax

[copper apex]

If you take a linear algebra course (mainly it's applications) you can get a lot from it

I heard a lot of people take discrete math but I'm not a comp sci major so i didnt take it

[lusty patrol]

i am good with math but i need a good way to learn how to script

ik dev forums but i wanna know where to look in dev forums

[marsh kelp]

there's no good you

but your way

[copper apex]

You see youre using it wrong, you have to actually just do something, like a small project and only look in devforum if youre stuck with a particular problem

[marsh kelp]

some learn from books, others from youtube

[lusty patrol]

making a gun is pretty simple

[copper apex]

You just have to write thats the way to learn

[copper apex]

If you wanna make it, go ahead

[lusty patrol]

i already finished the raycast part even though it'll a lil flawful and i have no idea how to learn it

i wanna know how to make it damage something

[marsh kelp]

define finished

you can finish a video, follow the tutorial and not learn anything

[copper apex]

I think a lot of beginners underestimate the power of the internet, THERES so much resources you just have to learn how to find it, as you program more and more, you will realize how important it is to just research

[marsh kelp]

can you make something different with it?

[lusty patrol]

i kinda tried everything

i asked for help in another server, got a flawed answer

[copper apex]

Dont ask in servers

[lusty patrol]

i looked at a youtube tutorial and it set me back hours

[copper apex]

In my opinion, i think u should figure it out urself

[lusty patrol]

i looked at dev forums and one of them told the guy to just switch to a hitbox system instead

[copper apex]

Youtube tutoriuals suck as well

You dont get nothing out of it

[marsh kelp]

Yeb try to fix the problem yourself for a bit then ask in the devforum

[lusty patrol]

i can't figure it out if i didn't even know GetMouseLocation existed

[marsh kelp]

:((((((

[copper apex]

Also i think a gun system for a beginner is extreme, start with a door system maybe? Open, closing, locking, build up your logic before you get to more advanced things

[copper apex]

Tutorials where they just show you the code suck, but if they actually teach you with a lesson, then its good

[lusty patrol]

i need to learn how to make a gun system tho

i think it'd be better if i just

[copper apex]

You need to learn how to code first

[lusty patrol]

learn it right away

[copper apex]

Before you make systems

No its not

[marsh kelp]

same as ra.yd.. raycasts are on the advanced side not the beginner one

[copper apex]

It is better to build up your foundation

You get a more deeper understanding instead of just understanding "gun systems"

[marsh kelp]

Agree, youtube is only good for the basics anything after this you'll only watch them code

but if you have the basics down you can learn the rest yourself with a bit of searching

[spring fern]

How does data storing work, does it make a folder in the player with values in it?

[copper apex]

If you pasted that into google right now, you will have the answer

[copper apex]

Yeah

[lusty patrol]

gues i'll go fuck myself

[rotund ore]

Great decision

[lusty patrol]

why the hell is my tool broken

[safe onyx]

people in a help channel when you ask for help

[rotund ore]

😭

So real

But some answers are really easier to find just by googling

[marsh kelp]

that's the fun thing, this is not the help channel

[lusty patrol]

why is my tool just broken

every time i pick it up it locks me into place

[static coral]

make sure everything is unanchored

[lusty patrol]

so then

if i'm making a gun do i need a custom model from another place and put the script there

[static coral]

what

[marsh kelp]

I'll take this as a compliment Ty

[safe onyx]

np

[lusty patrol]

i tried to make a simplke gun model using roblox parts

if i don't anchor them together they just fall off

if i anchor it it locks me in place

[static coral]

you need to unachor and weld everything

[rotund ore]

Are you just starting learning scripting?

[rotund ore]

Welding

[marsh kelp]

you'll need to weld them

[static coral]

preferably export it/make it in blender so that its 1 model

[lusty patrol]

do i need a plugin for that

[static coral]

no

just use weld constraints

[marsh kelp]

no, but there's plugins for it

[rotund ore]

Don't really see a point, anyways same as with welding

[marsh kelp]

tbh it's best to just put one part as the gun if you're just starting out

[static coral]

its just better to manage 1 main part than to have a bunch of little pieces that u need to weld constantly

[marsh kelp]

wait nvm

[marsh kelp]

that's even harder to do than welding

[rotund ore]

Basically just a cube to later on rename to handle and weld to actual model ig

[static coral]

fym

[rotund ore]

I mean it anyways should be named handle

[static coral]

its 1 part

0 welds

[marsh kelp]

blender than roblox for someone just starting out?

you're evil

[rotund ore]

Yea

[static coral]

you can just make it in studio

[marsh kelp]

still evil

[static coral]

and then export and reimport it as a mesh which will then be 1 part

[rotund ore]

+if that's from studio parts he can just union them

[static coral]

no its easier then

[lusty patrol]

how do i weld

[marsh kelp]

.

[static coral]

you need blow torch and eye shield

[rotund ore]

I highly suggest you watch a tutorial on how to make tools in roblox

[marsh kelp]

.

[rotund ore]

[lusty patrol]

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

[marsh kelp]

ppl will fear you more than black cats

[rotund ore]

You have part 1, part 2. Spawn Weld Constraint in one of the parts and in Weld Constraint properties set Part 1 to Part 1 and Part 2 to Part 2

[static coral]

https://tenor.com/view/mike-o'hearn-gif-7678673529070379788

[rotund ore]

Saying that with black cat on pfp is ironical

[lusty patrol]

then what the fuck is the point of weld then

why does that exist if weld constraint is right there

[rotund ore]

...

[marsh kelp]

mine is a kitty not a cat

[rotund ore]

Fair

[safe onyx]

can someone help with my code pretty please

[rotund ore]

You can put that weld constraint anywhere, it is just easier to store them in one part and welding each part to it. As well Tools must have part called Handle to attach to the arm

[marsh kelp]

@lusty patrol make the gun just one part.. you're coding not building

[rotund ore]

Again - watch tutorials about making a tool

[marsh kelp]

#code-help 🤓

[rotund ore]

Stop making it harder for us to explain each step

[marsh kelp]

Wait you're actually there? WAT

[safe onyx]

what

[lusty patrol]

god forbid i ask for help

[rotund ore]

Learning basics is much better with visuals like youtube tutorials

And I already explained how to do it

[lusty patrol]

i'm not touching a youtube tutorial

[rotund ore]

1. Create tool
2. Create part inside it
3. Rename part to Handle

[lusty patrol]

last time i did that i watched the worst raycast tutorial oat

[rotund ore]

Now the part is attached to arm

[marsh kelp]

beggars can't be choosers

[patent merlin]

why coding so hard

[rotund ore]

If you want to add more parts:

1. Create a Weld Constraint inside the Handle
2. Set Part 1 to Handle
3. Set Part 2 to the new part you created

MAKE SURE NO PARTS ARE ANCHORED

[lusty patrol]

there's better resources at my disposal right now

it's like picking a tortilla to eat instead of a perfect burger right infront of you

[marsh kelp]

that is?

[lusty patrol]

this server?

[rotund ore]

I am telling you to watch tutorial about making a tool, not about scripting it

[marsh kelp]

bro that's a cat/meme server

not a help one

[rotund ore]

😭

[lusty patrol]

what's #code-help for then

[marsh kelp]

if you need to ask for real help then go to the devforum

[marsh kelp]

I just said it

memes

[lusty patrol]

and i cant navigate the dev forum to my advantage

[rotund ore]

That's a code name, only most active members know it is there to share memes

[rotund ore]

1. Open google
2. Search your problem and add roblox at the end
3. Your Dev forum or Roblox documentation is there

Example:
https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/use-case-tutorials/scripting/intermediate-scripting/create-player-tools

Exact thing you needed - of how to create a tool

[lusty patrol]

ok i checked a couple of dev forums about raycasting

one of them just told the OP to switch to a hitbox system

i looked at documentation

[rotund ore]

You haven't even created a tool yet, why are you watching tutorials about raycasting...

[lusty patrol]

they talked about a different type of raycast

[lusty patrol]

yes i have..?

[rotund ore]

From conversation we had for the last couple of minutes - you at least had problems with it

[lusty patrol]

because i didn't know how to weld

you told me to look at a roblox youtube tutorial

[rotund ore]

After explaining it with text...

[lusty patrol]

3/4 of them are 7+ minutes long

when you explained it in one sentence

[rotund ore]

You finally welded it?

[lusty patrol]

yes i did

i had to do it twice cuase i accidentally messed up

[rotund ore]

Cool, around 1k more steps to go

to a working gun

[lusty patrol]

yea i'm so excited

[rotund ore]

Making a working gun system from 0 is quite hard, so I just took someone's unfinished one out of dev forum or smth like that and finished it)

[lusty patrol]

is this sarcastic oooor

[rotund ore]

Nope

I hate raycasting

[lusty patrol]

that's literally like

[rotund ore]

In one moment they work, in the next one it goes completely new direction

[lusty patrol]

the equivalent of copying from a roblox youtube tutorial

[rotund ore]

Cause there's nothing bad about learning and copying from youtube tutorial. I didn't just took finished work and did nothing with it

No reason to invent a bike, when you can improve it

Dyk how to do the reservation script for code?

I got told u do

[solemn herald]

I think u got lied to sadly. 😔

[dry hamlet]

real hoppy819!!!

@spring fern did you ask how datastore works?

[spring fern]

Yes

[dry hamlet]

So lets say you have values under a folder called leaderstats. Basically what it does is get these Values to the PlayerId In General Terms. then you just set the values to the id so when the player leaves

thats the easiest way i could say it

[spring fern]

Ohh ok thank you

[dry hamlet]

you understand? that was kinda confusing

you new to scripting?

very

i found an issue with my gun script tho

[dry hamlet]

what is it

I could help you

[lusty patrol]

lemme record it

[dry hamlet]

you do know how to use tools right?

[marsh kelp]

30 on avrg

[clever pecan]

Hmm, okay. thank you!

[indigo thorn]

no it not

[marsh kelp]

for a beginner it is...

[indigo thorn]

the finished gun system is hard to comprehend at a firs tglance, but the actual building process is just a bunch of features stitched together

[indigo thorn]

sure, but an average scripter ez

[acoustic fable]

anyone need a small time coder for like UI or some small to medium size systems?

[south spruce]

do long scripts make the game lag a lot?

[lost pebble]

no. it all depends on what the script actually does

[rain smelt]

framesizeX=frame.AbsoluteSize.X
framesizeY=frame.AbsoluteSize.Y
buttonsizeX=button.AbsoluteSize.X
buttonsizeY=button.AbsoluteSize.Y
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local randX=math.random(0,framesizeX-buttonsizeX)
    local randY=math.random(0,framesizeY-buttonsizeY)
    button.Position=UDim2.new(0,randX,0,randY)
end)```

why is the random started form 0 & not -(frame-button)?

UI, btw

[lost pebble]

wdym?

[hard badge]

In short.. Metatables just set tables that are more complex that allow you to do more operations on them??

[lost pebble]

are you talking about why the math.random goes from 0 to frame-button? if so, that's what you put: math.random(0,framesizeX-buttonsizeX)

[rain smelt]

yea

frame-button is to prevent button from going outside of frame

why start from 0 tho

[lost pebble]

with metatables you can basically add and define more functionality to tables. so yeah

[lost pebble]

bc that's what you put

[hard badge]

is there cases where metatables help you more than progrmaming without them?

[rain smelt]

nah like, last time I made a script for spawning coins in a coinzone, back then code for random positioning of coin was:

local offX,offY,offZ=coinzone.Size.X/2,coinzone.Size.Y/2,coinzone.Size.Z/2
   local randX,randY,randZ= math.random(-offX,offX), math.random(-offY,offY), math.random(-offZ,offZ)
newcoin.Position=coinzone.Position+Vector3.new(randX,randY,randZ)```

[lost pebble]

using them in modules when making a constructor. but a lot of people dont do that since you cant pass metatables through events

[rain smelt]

oh is it cuz the position of UI depends on the top left corner?

[lost pebble]

that's the default. yeah. it depends on the AnchorPoint

[rain smelt]

that explains everything

[hard badge]

can you explain a constructor in short? Is it usually when poeple do,
PartModule.New(Partsize, PartColor, PartPosition), PartModule.edit(Partsize, PartColor, PartPosition)??

[rain smelt]

what's diff between Size and AbsoluteSize tho?

[lost pebble]

it's terminology in oop. it's the method within a class that initializes the data within it. it's usually .new that's the constructor. in lua, you dont have any restrictions with what you can name it

[lost pebble]

i dont think frames have a property called AbsoluteSize

oh. it's read only

[lost pebble]

this might help:
https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/GuiBase2d#AbsoluteSize

[rain smelt]

preciate it

[magic bough]

should i change anything or is this good as is

[lost pebble]

if that's what you want. it's your game. looks good though

[ancient halo]

Whats up with this table.find?

I may have figured the promblem

no

it's not working

here's the code im using

for _, stack: Type.StackData in bar do
        if stack._Name == Item.Name then
            foundStack = stack
        end
    end
    
    if foundStack then
        print(table.find(foundStack._Items, Item))
    end

[lost pebble]

what's foundStack?

@ancient halo

[ancient halo]

a table

[lost pebble]

so you're looping through a table with tables?

[jade marlin]

if it prints nothing then foundStack wasn't found

[ancient halo]

yea

am i?

[jade marlin]

if it prints nil then table.find didnt find anything

[ancient halo]

ok

[jade marlin]

try using prints to check

[ancient halo]

foundStack is a stack which is a table

and a "stack" is this:

export type StackData = {
    _Name: string,
    _Image: string,
    _ItemType: string,
    _IsDroppable: boolean,
    _Items: {Tool},
    --_StackID: number,
}

"_Items" is the thing i'm using tab;e.find on

[magic bough]

are UI corners meant to disable when the size is negative?

[lost pebble]

if it returns nil, it didnt find Item

[magic bough]

this is when its positive

[ancient halo]

I know

[magic bough]

the ui corner just disables when its negative

intentional or bugged?

[lost pebble]

so i dont get your problem

[jade marlin]

What is outputted when you run

And what is the problem

[ancient halo]

It prints:

 ["_Items"] =  ▼  {
                          [1] = Sword
                       },

also it's the fact thats it's giving me nil

[jade marlin]

that's odd it shouldn't be able to print that

[ancient halo]

what am I refering to?

[magic bough]

nvm i looked it up, they intentionally disable it on negatives cause it can cause rendering issues

was just curious cause i noticed it when i made a typo

[jade marlin]

Is this your expected output or the actual output?

[jade marlin]

If it prints nil then it didn't find anything

[ancient halo]

No it's what I'm using table.find on

[red sonnet]

is there any known way to make a seperate reflection color for a specific mesh?

[jade marlin]

Ion get the initial problem what was it again

[ancient halo]

Why wont table.find work"

[jade marlin]

How do you expect it to work

And how is it behaving right now

[ancient halo]

It looks through the table, and tells me where the "needle" is located?

[jade marlin]

yeah that's what it does

and why does it not work

you seem like you know what it does

[magic bough]

anyone know how I can make this go up instead of down

[ancient halo]

probably not

[magic bough]

its scripted so that the Y value on size gradually increases

and rotating doesnt work so increasing the Y makes it go down either way

negative UI sizes are really bugged so that isnt really an option either

[jade marlin]

could you somehow move the black ui downwards

[magic bough]

wdym

[jade marlin]

so ehen it grows it does from the bottom to the top

[magic bough]

thats what im trying to do but as i explained above, since rotation doesnt work the UI will always be increasing downwards

this is what happens if i rotate it and then lower the starting point

only way that ive found to make it go up is negative size, but those r broken so i dont wanna do it

[jade marlin]

This looks like it'd grow from the bottom to the top, why doesn't it work here?

[lost pebble]

change the position while you're changing the size: UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 1 - sizeRatio)

[magic bough]

because it always goes down even if its rotated

[jade marlin]

oh I see

I don't really know how to fix that though I'd try to rotate and stuff

Godspeed

[magic bough]

not visible anymore after doing this

this is how i've had it set up

and then after doing (1, 0, 0, 1 - yScale) it stopped showing up

nvm, works if i do (1, 0, 1 - yScale, 0)

first time ive used udim2 so idek what the differences are between numbers

is it just the same as this

[lost pebble]

mb. i put it in the offset instead of the scale

[magic bough]

oh

is udim just

X scale, X offset, Y scale, Y offset

?

[lost pebble]

yes

[magic bough]

makes sense

i havent used it till now

ty tho

[lost pebble]

you're using scale to change the size, though, right?

[magic bough]

its going up now but the only issue is that its doing it backwards

entire UI turns dark then gradually lightens

instead of going from light to dark

[lost pebble]

are you changing the size with what i sent?

[copper apex]

Is there a reason why it has to go from down to up

[lost pebble]

preference

[magic bough]

👍

and because its starting at 1

the scale is going from filling the entire thing to filling nothing

instead of vice versa

[lost pebble]

that was supposed to be for the position. keep what you had for the size

[magic bough]

huh

how would changing the position fix it

wouldnt that just drag it away from the ui

[lost pebble]

no

[magic bough]

works now

how is gradually changing the position causing the same effect as a 180 rotation though

[copper apex]

It flips the position of the gui object

[lost pebble]

yeah

[magic bough]

if i set the position to 1 manually it causes this

but with what he sent which is basically doing the exact same thing

its the same effect as a 180 degree rotation

ion understand

i think i get it now actually

is it because its matching the speed of resize

just to mimick it without actually rotating

[lost pebble]

what it does is sets the position opposite of its size. Size = 0 Pos = 1 Size = 0.25 Pos = 0.75 Size = 0.5 Pos = 0.5 Size = 0.75 Pos = 0.25 Size = 1 Pos = 0

[magic bough]

yeah

its weird but it works perfectly

makes it seem like the top and bottom switched out but in reality its just the top moving at the same speed as the resize

[fossil echo]

Hey guys I’m kinda stuck right now I learned the basics of coding and I don’t know where to go from their

I know their is a lot more to learn but where should I go to learn it

And where do I go to learn the key terms

And stuff

I’m just so lost and don’t know what to do any help?

[jade marlin]

There's a link in the pinned messages

You could probably refer to it

[fossil echo]

Alright what about learning like all the terms for scripting?

[ancient halo]

What the hell is table.find

[upper sleet]

Whats the best way to make smooth dashes?

[shy bronze]

how to not let a character spawn but the game and ui loads normally?

[upper sleet]

You mean like your camera is locked in a position while the game loads or something?

What are you trying to achive?

[shy bronze]

@upper sleet i meant to do is a main menu and load the character later and the viewmodel when he spawn

i disabled characterautoload but it didnt load the ui

should i just trap players in a box before loading in?

[upper sleet]

Yeah you could try that

[valid torrent]

you don't have to stop anything from loading, you can change the player camera's position to whereever you want it to be and have the UI of the main menu

as for the character you can trap them in a box and move them to whatever spawnpoint you want when you want the actual game to start

[upper sleet]

wdym

[valid torrent]

just make sure you change the camera type back to custom from scriptable

Hey everyone, I really need help with a per-player collectible system I'm building. 😓

I'm working on a game where Fragments and Clues (named Fragment1–10 and Clue1–10) should appear one at a time in sequence for each player.

🔧 Setup:

All fragments and clues are stored in ReplicatedStorage.

I use ShowNextItem and HideItem RemoteEvents to show/hide items.

I clone items into Workspace via ShowNextItem.

Player clicks/taps to collect, it should show text (from a StringValue), play sound, fire save event, and hide the item.

❌ Problems:

1. All fragments and clues appear at once when the game starts.

2. Clicking or tapping doesn't do anything — no hint text, no disappearance, no progression.

3. The per-player logic isn't working. Everyone sees everything.

🔍 What I want:

New players should only see Fragment1 and Clue1 on join.

When they collect Fragment1, only then should Fragment2 appear, and so on.

Same for clues. Everything must be per-player.

When collected, the item should disappear and show lore/clue text through Hint UI.

I’ve tried separating the logic into ServerItemHandler, ItemVisibilityManager, and save/load scripts using DataStores. But I’m stuck and frustrated. 😩

Any help is super appreciated. 🙏 I can share scripts if needed.

[proven violet]

Is there a way to detect when a player's speaking?

[ocean yacht]

dm if u script and want to make button incremental (i invest robux)

[static coral]

voicechatservice

[proven violet]

Nope

Doesn't detect when players are speaking

[static coral]

oh i see

just check roblox services tho there is a way

[proven violet]

I don't think there iss

Heard I can try using an AudioEmitter in the character?

Lmao if that makes sense 😭

[proven violet]

Oooh

Trying this

[buoyant junco]

open to feedback

[gilded stag]

is it best to keep models that i want to duplicate/clone and put back into workspace in serverstorage or replicated?

[silver verge]

if the client never needs to clone it then put it in server storage

[gilded stag]

i need to clone serverside the only thing i need locally is the gui names, but i feel like thats just a bunch of useless reqs so im making a list of names instead

[chilly imp]

Does anyone know where i can find tutorials and documentation on ai cars?

[gilded stag]

acc nvm just using replciated

[hallow crag]

just create a node graph and get a pathfinding module to move the cars

[chilly imp]

Where would i find a module?

[hallow crag]

just look into this https://devforum.roblox.com/t/nodegraphv20-create-connected-networks-of-nodes-easily/2865840

[chilly imp]

Alr

Thanks

[hallow crag]

why do u need to clone gui on the server

[stable cedar]

anyone a scripter thats down to make a game in 2/4 weeks, dm ill explain current idea

[chilly imp]

Wait @hallow crag, would there be any actual module scripts that i can use?

[hallow crag]

yeah theres a button in the plugin to import the modules

u need

[chilly imp]

Oh OKAY

caps

[hallow crag]

you need to create a node graph first tho

[gilded stag]

when someone presses spawnbooth proximity prompt itll clone from replicated to server

[hallow crag]

huh

why would u need to do that

[gilded stag]

what else would i do

and then it copies the booth onto it

[hallow crag]

fire to the server

clone the booth on the server

then pivot it to the position you want

or if u want the booth to be completely client sided (wont be seen by other players) then clone it on the client

[gilded stag]

yeah i basically did that i just did everything on server instead

[hallow crag]

do all the gui things on the client

and then booth modifying/cloning on the server

[wary star]

wtf is that avatar 😭

[gilded stag]

its not gui its proximity thats y

or else i wouldve doen that

[hallow crag]

whats this gui for then

😭

[gilded stag]

thats just for decorating it

[gilded stag]

dont be racist

[hallow crag]

ok so use ProximityPrompt.Triggered on the server

and then to decorate use a remote

[gilded stag]

yes yes i did but thanks so much

[hallow crag]

okay

[wary star]

😭

That made me laugh

W pfp btw

[shell breach]

how do i fix this black thing

[ripe plume]

hey guys, what would be the optimal way to code a jumping rope game? the collision is important, as I am currently using option 2 and sometimes the rope goes through players, or kills players that are lagging

• hingeconstraint
• heartbeat on server
• client-sided heartbeat, current speed remote event sent from server

[jade marlin]

I'd make it client sided since it's ping based

the 3rd option seem best

[potent pike]

I got a problem since sometimes with my code the "cam 1" doesnt get detected and I have to restart the test few times to make it work again once. How do I fix it

local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local camFolder = game.Workspace.Cameras
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local blackFrame = script.Parent.blackFrame
local button = script.Parent.EnterButton
local label = script.Parent.GameTitle

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
button.Visible = false
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end)

local ti = TweenInfo.new(

3,
Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic,
Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
0,
false,
0

)
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

blackFrame.Visible = true

camera.CFrame = camFolder.cam1.CFrame

task.wait(3)

Thats the code above it is slightly modified from a youtube tutorial

[lone saddle]

use waitforchild

[potent pike]

What

Can you explain please? I am quite new in scripting and roblox studio overall

[lone saddle]

i would recommend looking up WaitForChild then

if you use that you can make sure your code waits for the cam1 to exist

[potent pike]

Alright thanks

Where should I insert it then?

[limber vortex]

function module.ChangeCombo(char)

local combo = char:GetAttribute("Combo")


if lastSwing[char] then
    
    local passedTime = tick() - lastSwing[char]
    if passedTime <= 2 then
    
        if combo >= MaxCombo then
            char:SetAttribute("Combo", 1)
        else
            char:SetAttribute("Combo", combo + 1)    
        

        end
    else
        char:SetAttribute("Combo", 1)
    end

end
print(combo)
lastSwing[char] = tick()

end

so I run this right and even tho it shows my attribute is 2 when I check it still prints out 1 why is that

[lone saddle]

because combo variable is being set then changed and then not updated to the new attribute value

so your printing what it was before you changed it

[vocal vortex]

what do i use oop for

[hallow crag]

whatever u think needs oop

[vocal vortex]

gng im asking cuz i feel like its useless unless ur making a singleplayer game or like a minigame of some sort, im making plr pvp and i jus wanted to make sure cuz its way better to use attributes and module functions imo

[hallow crag]

?????/

do u know what oop is?

[vocal vortex]

yeah

[hallow crag]

what is it then

[vocal vortex]

a class based structure

[hallow crag]

yeah its just preference if u prefer to use attributes then use attributes

[vocal vortex]

im saying i can make a char class and do actions w it or use attributes

i feel like its easier w attributes thts why im askin

[hallow crag]

theres are some cases where its easier to use attributes and some cases where its easier to use oop

depends what situation ur in

[vocal vortex]

im asking what oop is actually useful for or better to use

for creating enums or your own datatypes yeah

but in a game sense

if you understand what i mean

[hallow crag]

like u could make a npc class which takes in a npc model

then u could store the npc state

position etc

and create a moveto function in it for example

[vocal vortex]

oh so like enemy ai for example? have classes for each and make them cointeract

[hallow crag]

yeah

[vocal vortex]

yk when one fights u and the others back off
