nah

am fine

js checkin

[placid peak]

why are profileservice so complicated to understand, my brain is just, hurting.

[ruby cipher]

what do u usually like to use

[placid peak]

well im a new roblox scripter, im tryna learn scripting in genreal, i saw that profile service is better tehn data store

so im just lookin at videos confused. and reading the manual

[ruby cipher]

e

what do u usually do

u said u experienced but in what department

[placid peak]

oh, building and UI, and a bit of animating

[wanton cloud]

Not tryna act like a mega dc mod but there is a channel for this

[oak verge]

just give up while you can ffs, ive earned absolutely nothing from doing this ffs, no money to sponsor my game, no way to earn the money, no way to advertise the game, you and me are background characters so give up ✅

[placid peak]

ahem, ur bio says

Phillipeans4:13 -"I can do anything through Christ that gives me strength"

which i agree, you can do anythign through christ, u gotten so far, why stop now?

[oak verge]

becuase ive been beaten up black and blue by this crap. Im tired of it, i always put the effort, i always get absolutely no returns, nothing ever works out. Until i finally saw and realised, im supposed to be hated and go through hardships becuase thats fair 😃 its so fair that FREAKASS random kids just get lent 10k robux minimum from a random person, instantly make the most basic FREAKASS game possible, sponsor it and return atleast 60k robux back. Some FREAKASS kids just ask people to join their community and instantly aquire 50 people and ccu, some FREAKASS kids just join a donation game and instantly get donated upwards of 2k, whilst for me its the absolute pinacle of the opposite where i try not to gain complete insanity, while all my games are solo deved, debugged through hundreds of times, trialed and tested, ALL BY MYSELF, and your FREAKASS games flop from FREAKASS bullcrap rubish, you wanna do coms and none of them FREAKASS coms FREAKING FREAKASS FREAKASS FRICK work becuase most of them FREAKING FREAKASS ghost you, others are already occupied, and only the 1% of coms that you receive end up forcing more work down your throught that they originally mentioned, making you spend hours to days doing something, just for them to say "times up", and kick you out of the com, freaking fuck ass shit

[placid peak]

If you dont have hte money to promote an game, and if u dont, such a small cahnce of you actually getting it popular, start by doing commisions, try ur hardest to get hired, or get known in the HD community by scripting, or go to the hiring pages and get hired, make some money (Thats what I did with building, even tho iw as bad, i amde like 300 - 400 bucks total) and i still tried no amtter what, i was Dming people everyday, and i even got banned once on discord cause they taught i was a bot, but dw, everything worked out, once again, thru christ and hard work, everything can be done.

u dont give up

u dont do popular in 1 day

[scenic marten]

crashout

[oak verge]

bro what do you think ive done FOR THE PAST DAMN 2 YEARS BRO WHO DO YOU THINK I AM, almost every singe one of my FREAKASS DMS ARE COMMISION REQUESTS, YOU MADE 300-400 bucks, and ive only made FREAKASS 500 robux, i tried day after day, nothing, idea after idea, nothing, game after game, nothing, concept after concept absolutely FREAKING GFRTRSAKASSDD GUVCKFGN IGGNG SHITY NO0THING BRO

I swear to you my faith is the only think preventing me from truly being a villain

i swear to you rn if i lose God everyone is cooked

[placid peak]

no need to get so angry and swear for no resaon, ur just wasting ur time, you gotta get a reputation, be active in #code-help , help people out, get known, promote ur work (you dont even have the scripter role to post in #scripter-hirable )

and if u only made 500 robux in 2-3 years, ur def doing something wrong, that we cant do anythinga bout it

theres legit other discord servers, use them, not only HD, look on big games in roblox, go to their discord, open a ticket, and try to get hired.

god is somemade up guy only because the people back then didnt know anything as science was limited

god was never real and never will be

[oak verge]

Ive already applied for the scripter role, and for some reason the application hasnt even been reviewed, i literally sent solid complex code. Also im in plenty of other servers these are the only effective ones. Also gaining traction in code-help, does that really mean anything?? 🤔 hmm

[placid peak]

Yes, gaining reputation increases trust.

[oak verge]

And who are you to say this lol, God does not juxtapose science in any possible way 💀

[placid peak]

and what i used to do (to help you)

i used to go on simulator games

on roblox

games that have like 200+ CCU's

most of the times they ahve discord linked to teh game

or teh group

you legit join the discord

open a ticket or Dm the owner

and try to get hired, simple

[coral field]

all the problems were always thought to be because of "god" but it always had science behind it

[placid peak]

mind not fighting her plesae

take it to dms, dont spam the chat with your fight

[coral field]

ok

[placid peak]

thanks

[oak verge]

no clue what this has to do with anything or how it illuded to the fallacy of God. 💀, Issac Newton had perceived gravity to just be a force acting downward on an object based on mass. Albert Einstein elaborated and explained that there was a geometrical dialation in spacetime that instantiated gravity. Was Newton wrong? Nope, he was completely right, it was just further elaborated by Einstein. The result of humans stating something doesnt illude to the definition of who God truly is 😂

[placid peak]

guys

take it to dm's, not here

[coral field]

lowk cant be asked

[oak verge]

can you rate my portfolio https://sites.google.com/view/discord-thanosalt/home

[placid peak]

let me check

bro im down bad for even 900 robux atp, last year i was even down bad for 100, isnt it normal aslong as they see the content of the showcases

[placid peak]

putting ur work in a website just doesnt look good, if ur using a website, link ur twitter and say "check my work here"

and put ur portofolio and stuff in your DM's (cause i always get dms from people just seeing my stuff)

and post ur work in #⭐creations and again, be active in #code-help you will get Dm's, i used to be active in building and etc, and once again, people dming me

the first thing a person should see when they open ur profile (like click ur profile on discord)

is ur bio saying

**EXPERIENCED | SCRIPTER | forthislong **
-portofolio link here (or twitter)

[oak verge]

thats the problem

ive been pondering changing my bio for a while

guess ill have to truncate the evangelism

[placid peak]

just put something fast and understandable

[oak verge]

alr ill put your advice to work

dont be putting quotes and shit, it just ruins it

[craggy plover]

hey, i wanna start scripting, what should I do and what kind of projects should I do to build a portfolio?

[frank tiger]

if ur just starting learn coding first gng 🙏

[craggy plover]

i know python, basic syntax language im just confused on what projects to do to help build a portfolio

[frank tiger]

roblox doesnt use python it uses lua and maybe make combat systems or first person shooter stuff thats what everybody lookin for tbh

[stark crow]

building a portfolio or trying to when only starting out is not a good idea

[glossy terrace]

looking for starter scripters for friending

[stark crow]

your focus should solely be on acquiring skills and the way of thinking of a programmer

[frank tiger]

i deliver ur food sir

[near sonnet]

chat was is needed from scripting rn is it like rng or more combat or shooter

[stark crow]

what

[near sonnet]

yk what do the people wanna create the most rn

is there like a trend or some shi

[craggy plover]

Ok

[stark crow]

the grow a blablab game trend

is blowing up

may I add: sadly

[near sonnet]

xD

i see

we need new inventions

[stark crow]

all these games have only one purpose

[near sonnet]

MONEY

[stark crow]

grab as much money as possible before it dies down

and it works

may I add again: sadly

[near sonnet]

man i jst started scripting a few months ago and im doing it for fun not for money but this is sad fr fr

[stark crow]

so many good devs create acual original games, but they are completely drowned by these low effort games that kids like to pla

[near sonnet]

i got a friend who would advertise my games

is it worth tho

to even advertise

[stark crow]

first, be completely sure there is no bugs, or at least game breaking ones

and yes it is worth it

i did some sponsoring campaings a few days ago just to see how it turns out, it isn't too bad.

[near sonnet]

yeah i would first upload it and make like a 100rbx per bug bounty

[stark crow]

but you gotta spend a good bunch of money on it

[stark crow]

you're paying people to report/find bugs?

[near sonnet]

nah not rn

but i would

[stark crow]

phew

[near sonnet]

to test game complete

[stark crow]

https://tenor.com/view/nlu-nolayingup-gif-48266377107406311

Jk, don't do it

Seriously, don't

[near sonnet]

yk i cant think the way other people do who want to brake the game

[stark crow]

Players will report them by themselves if they like the game or see potential, trust me

[tepid notch]

Can someone give me some advice? I really want to make a game. I know Lua, but I can't get any ideas for the game.

[near sonnet]

alr xD

[near sonnet]

ChatGPT xD

nah dont ask him

hes ass

#forbidchatGPT (only for others i need it)

[stark crow]

think of something you have not seen in any other game and try to make it work

it creates very original ideas

[near sonnet]

and check ur idea so u can be sure noone else has a big game with same concept

[tepid notch]

Yeah, but I don't have any ideas; I'm braindead.

[near sonnet]

my friend would pay like 50k for ads

[stark crow]

that's a topic I cannot give much advice on

[near sonnet]

is that enough?

[stark crow]

it is

[tepid notch]

And when I don't know something, I just quit doing it. 😔

[polar furnace]

Someone give me a task to do in roblox studio (Scripting)

[near sonnet]

alr bet

[stark crow]

aiaiaiaiai

[somber vault]

is it worth casting these in parallel:

    local rayBack=workspace:Raycast(backTop.WorldPosition, relativeDown, rayParamsExclude) :: RaycastResult
    local rayCenter=workspace:Raycast(centerTop.WorldPosition, relativeDown, rayParamsExclude) :: RaycastResult
    local rayFront=workspace:Raycast(frontTop.WorldPosition, relativeDown, rayParamsExclude) :: RaycastResult

[tepid notch]

I like building, but what will I even earn from that?

[somber vault]

reality check

[stark crow]

In parallel as in the way it's shown rn?

[somber vault]

yh

[tepid notch]

[stark crow]

I mean it depends on what you wanna do

[slender yew]

How does roblox animation priority work?
I have a running animation that I force onto the player whilst hes sprinting and I'm trying to make the animation stop when he jumps, so that the default roblox jumping animation plays, for now the sprint animation is playing while hes jumping.

[stark crow]

Do you need to check all the sides or do you only need one result

[somber vault]

local function GetGroundRes(customArbSmallDown: number?): RaycastResult?


    local relativeDown: vector=-(root.CFrame.UpVector)-vector.create(0,localCtx.legHeightAndArbSmallDown,0)
    
    local rayBack=workspace:Raycast(backTop.WorldPosition, relativeDown, rayParamsExclude) :: RaycastResult
    local rayCenter=workspace:Raycast(centerTop.WorldPosition, relativeDown, rayParamsExclude) :: RaycastResult
    local rayFront=workspace:Raycast(frontTop.WorldPosition, relativeDown, rayParamsExclude) :: RaycastResult
    
    
    local sumNormals:vector=rayBack.Normal+rayCenter.Normal+rayFront.Normal
    
    return
end

called every frame

[stark crow]

:Stop() it

[near sonnet]

Phased Boss – 3 phases triggered at 75%, 50%, and 25% HP, each with different attack patterns.

Smart Targeting – Boss chooses targets based on proximity, highest DPS, or random aggro shifts.

Telegraphed Attacks – Display AoE warnings (e.g. red circles) before impact; sync via RemoteEvents.

Pathfinding Movement – Use PathfindingService for chase attacks or repositioning.

RemoteEvents & ModuleScripts – Clean client/server logic separation; sync visual + combat effects.

Team Mechanics – Include co-op challenges (e.g. stack zones, cleansing debuffs, shared damage).

Dynamic UI – Show boss HP, current phase, and warnings (e.g. timers for ultimate attacks).

100% no chatGPT

[stark crow]

ok so i guess you need them all

[slender yew]

what about animation priority?? If I set it lower than the roblox jumping animation wouldnt it overrride it??

[stark crow]

It's not gonna kill your performance so

[stark crow]

It's not good practice

[ivory oxide]

Yo for games like deepwoken how do they make their melee rays? I've tried using rays from attachments but sometimes with my attack system they lag behind and hit from behind cuz of the weapon animations going behind the character, any suggestions?

[stark crow]

You're better off just stopping it

[brisk aurora]

you need to set it yourself

like core has the lowest priority

[slender yew]

oh

[stark crow]

To answer your question tho, yes it would

[somber vault]

predict it

[ruby cipher]

r u raycasting every frame?

[somber vault]

yh

[brisk aurora]

that's why overriding occurs in animation most of the time

[ruby cipher]

i dont believe thats too good for performance

[somber vault]

it's necessary

[brisk aurora]

you probably didn't set the priority high enough

[stark crow]

It's not too excessive on resources for 3 raycasts

[tepid notch]

Also any tips on coding in lua

[ruby cipher]

fair enough

[stark crow]

Alternatively you could add a cooldown, even if just a short one to make it more efficient in performance

[tepid notch]

Might as well just read the whole scripting docs

[ivory oxide]

I tried that however the predictions just made it worse in my visuals, when the weapon went behind the back it predicted a swing behind

[somber vault]

use rollback netcode

[ivory oxide]

Alr ill try rhat

[somber vault]

• custom character movement like i am doing

[ivory oxide]

Yh i got custom character everything

[somber vault]

uh

[stark crow]

Using attachments should work fine tho no?

Save the previous pos, use it as origin for the next raycast. never had it lag behind

[somber vault]

    local avgNormal=sumNormals/3

is it faster to divide or multiply by 1/3

[ivory oxide]

Yes that works for me

But when the weapon anim goes behind the character

The rays go behind but I want attack only from the front to count

[stark crow]

add animation events

one to start the hitbox registration

and one to stop it

[ivory oxide]

Like these are the anims

[ivory oxide]

I have

[stark crow]

Then it shouldn't happen

If you properly set the code and the events up

[ivory oxide]

Alright so i just stop raycasting during certain events?

[stark crow]

Let me show you how I usually do it

Just like this

The start animation event runs a loop that runs till the end animation event is invoked

[ivory oxide]

Urs is so simple lol compared to mine, i defo messed smth up

Should I send my code?

U can prolly see whats wrong

[stark crow]

Oh this is the simple hitbox detection. I figured I don't need more raycasts to kill zombies

Yes do that

[ivory oxide]

alr 1 second

[willow hinge]

im still learning does anyone have an explanation for what scope is?

[steel elm]

local Hitbox = workspace.ReadInfoHitbox
local OpenedGUI = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.PlayerGUI.ReadInfo
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

Hitbox.Touch:Connect(function()
    TweenService:Create(OpenedGUI,TweenInfo.new(0.07,Enum.EasingStyle.Quart,Enum.EasingDirection.Out),{
        ["Position"] = UDim2.new(0.431, 0, 0.2, 0)
    }):Play()
end)

Hitbox.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
    TweenService:Create(OpenedGUI,TweenInfo.new(0.07,Enum.EasingStyle.Quart,Enum.EasingDirection.Out),{
        ["Position"] = UDim2.new(0.431, 0, -0.2, 0)
    }):Play()
end)

This code is supposed to make the GUI go down when you touch the part called "ReadInfoHitbox".
It used to work, but now it doesn't and Idk why.

[stark crow]

-- scope start

do
  print("blablabla")
end

-- scope end

[somber vault]

❌

[stark crow]

It starts at do

raaaaaah

[willow hinge]

what does it do tho?

[stark crow]

Not that interesting to me tbh

[somber vault]

it’s like those russian dolls, the biggest one holds all of the other ones, if you go down one then you don’t have the largest one (all of the variables)

[ivory oxide]

i tried to use sphere casts and all lol

[stark crow]

oh my days

[ivory oxide]

thats what i think of when i look at this

[willow hinge]

is it needed?

[ivory oxide]

ive been trying a lot of stuff

[somber vault]

it’s used in practically everything

[stark crow]

I don't see the code where it mentions anim events

[slender yew]

Now I need a way to resume the animation after its stopped when the player jumps

[ivory oxide]

yh i removed that part

[willow hinge]

what does it do tho?

[ivory oxide]

thats was an old version i tried

[stark crow]

:Play() it

[somber vault]

it doesn’t do anything it’s just how code works

[stark crow]

If it didn't do anything it wouldn't be there :/

[slender yew]

is there a way to just force the roblox ones 😭

thats what I'm tryna do bruh I'm lazy asf

[stark crow]

The roblox ones are always there

If you stop your overriding anim, theirs should resume as usual

[slender yew]

oh

[stark crow]

not resume, but be visible again as they're no longer overridden

[ivory oxide]

@stark crow what do i change and remove

[slender yew]

so you're saying the animations play but just get overriden by the forced one?

[stark crow]

yes

They're suppressed if you wish

[slender yew]

oh I just though they dont play at all

[stark crow]

A higher animation priority suppresses lower anim priorities. That doesn't mean the anims stop, they still play but don't fully execute or don't at all

[stark crow]

lemme see

if there's no issue with the raycasts then this code is fine

[ivory oxide]

Its a real mess but incase i mess up theres more experinced scripters on the dev team lol

[ivory oxide]

Hurray

[stark crow]

what Ineed to see is the lines where you call these functions

[slender yew]

so if I had a lower tier animation playing constantly, and then overriden that animation with a short sequence, the lower animation would resume playing from the moment it stopped being suppressed?

[ivory oxide]

Oh, well thats a very complicated system

[stark crow]

exactly

[ivory oxide]

Like thousands of lines

[slender yew]

thats sick I never knew about that

thank you codingislife

[stark crow]

coders always learn

[slender yew]

I'm deeply greatful for your existance

[stark crow]

no worries

[slender yew]

exactly

[somber vault]

wild

[stark crow]

just the lines where uh

they're called

[ivory oxide]

Well i have a seperate combat script with a module attached to it for each weapon

[somber vault]

roblox ts is not worth learning

[ivory oxide]

And i also have a server script for server combag

[near sonnet]

guys my leaderstats are not loding. I did everything. Used waitforchild everywhere. Create them on player join. nothing in my power is working

[ivory oxide]

Which calls raycasts and all

[stark crow]

a server script calls raycasts??

[slender yew]

so what r u doing here

[ivory oxide]

Well it calls the module

I think

Id need to check lmao

[slender yew]

rq, whats the best way to detect jumping on the player

[stark crow]

do that

[slender yew]

that only fires when it starts

[stark crow]

there's a jumping property

on the humanoid

[ivory oxide]

Alr one second

[stark crow]

bind it to a uh changed event and yea

Humanoid.Jumping:Connect(function(Jumping)
  print(Jumping)
end)

[ivory oxide]

@stark crow do u mind if we continue this convo in like 20 mins in dms? I gotta go for a bit but would really appreciate the help

[stark crow]

added you, can't garantuee to be on in 20 minutes tho

[slender yew]

now the only issue I'm facing is resuming the animation after its stopped.

[stark crow]

:Play() it

[ivory oxide]

Alright thats fine

[slender yew]

I play it upon pressing shift

[stark crow]

Also another very important thing, you only need to load animations in once. Once they're loaded in, they become tracks. You can play and stop or pause these tracks as you like and don't need to create new ones every time you stop them.

[slender yew]

yeah ik

[stark crow]

Why doesn't it work

If you play it

[slender yew]

it works when I play it, but I need it to resume AFTER I stop it with the jump, cause the player can keep holding shift yk

[hoary cedar]

Create an animation caching interface ✨

[stark crow]

for real

[stark crow]

so uh

[slender yew]

well I'm thinking of connecting it to humanoid:getstate

[stark crow]

i'm a bit confused

[slender yew]

n detect it that way

[slender yew]

alright so

[somber vault]

ipairs is still faster than pairs

[stark crow]

You really do care about efficiency don't you

[slender yew]

I'm making a sprinting system for my game, and I want the animation to stop when the player jumps, and be overriden by the jumping animation, but once the jump is finished, IF the conditions are met, the player keeps playing the sprint animation

[stark crow]

Not much of a problem

I assume you got a sprinting variable that changes depending on whether you hold down shift or not

[slender yew]

yeah

[molten creek]

Christ

[stark crow]

Then when detecting jumps you just stop the track as usual, when the jump stops, you just check if the player is still sprinting. If yes, play the anim, if not, then don't

[somber vault]

    local a={
        workspace:Raycast(backTop.WorldPosition, down, rayParamsExclude) or nil,
        workspace:Raycast(centerTop.WorldPosition, down, rayParamsExclude) or nil,
    }

if i loop through it, i will only get the true ones right

[slender yew]

so I'm thinking of connecting it to humanoid states

and depending on what it is doing that

for example jumping/freefall then it stops the anim

if landing then resume the anim

[stark crow]

When using .Jumping it isn't really needed to

Oh freefall

[slender yew]

how would I do it then

[stark crow]

Alright yea that's fair

[slender yew]

cause I'm unsure how I'd wait for the player to land to play the animation again

using task.wait will get buggy while falling

[hasty mesa]

if you looped with ipairs and [1] is nil then you won't loop index 2, if you use generalized iteration it will loop over 2

[thick sail]

Guys quick question

I'm scripting a vehicle collision handler that flings people a vehicle collides with

Should I just handle the hit detection inside the character?

[slender yew]

works like a charm

thank u for ur help yet again

[stark crow]

Well you figured that one out on your own to be fair

[spring moon]

I mean, if you use collection service you can handle every collision with one script
I'd probably do the hit detection from the vehicle but it probably varies

[thick sail]

It just sounds like a pain to have to add hit detection parts to every vehicle

I'm already using collection service as you describe

And raycasthitbox

The hard part is finding out which direction the vehicle would be moving in relative to the player

[spring moon]

yeah you might be right ngl, might be worth just using the character for that

[thick sail]

It would also make finding out the direction easier

Car intersects one of the player's dmgpoints -> dot product the car velocity and the direction between the root part and the vehicle

Think I'll do that then

[spring moon]

ight GL 👍

[stark crow]

Here's my version of the code if you're interested.
Just put it into StarterCharacterScripts, has to be R6 for my anim, or just change it to yours

[near sonnet]

guys how do i scale buttons for different devices. Like my buttons are good rn but when i switch to mobile they are awful

[stark crow]

using the scale on the size property

and more importantly, using UIAspectRatioConstraints

they keep stuff proportionate

for example that a square frame won't squeeze into a rectangle due to a smaller screen

[pseudo maple]

Should i learn to script for these next 2 months of summer holiday?

[near sonnet]

am i dumb or do i just not see it

[stark crow]

click the arrow on x and y, you'll see it has a Scale and a Offset section

[near sonnet]

so offset 0 right?

[stark crow]

yes

[near sonnet]

and then?

[stark crow]

there's a cool plugin which lets you transform offset into scale and vice versa

i always use it

[stark crow]

use the scale

[near sonnet]

and i have to guess the size then

buzzalr

[stark crow]

not if you use the plugin

I'll fetch it for you

[near sonnet]

but do u get like get accsess to my pc?

[stark crow]

Eh no

ignore hum.jumping LMAOO

forgot to remove it

also didnt add oldstate n new state

[near sonnet]

and how exactly do i use the plugin

[stark crow]

I'd just put the 2 if statement in the last event in the same statement cause they do the same

but great code

[stark crow]

it's very user friendly, try it

i'm quite busy rn so I can't help a lot

[near sonnet]

dw ill find it out ms ty anyways

[stark crow]

no worries

[slender yew]

thank you, how experienced are you?

[stark crow]

Approaching 6 years now

[slender yew]

that is A LOT

do you code fulltime?

also what languages do you know

[stark crow]

Not yet

Llet's see

Java, Python, PHP, C#, C++, (HTML), (CSS), JavaScript ( NodeJS framework)

Isn't that much all things considered

[slender yew]

impressive though

[stark crow]

I literally forgot to mention Lua

[slender yew]

why arent you fulltime??

[slender yew]

python says it

[stark crow]

Me student

[slender yew]

ohh where u from

[nova cosmos]

Ive been learning and practicing in studio for a while now, mainly focusing on a single game but I am starting to realize that I need to reorganize alot of my code into module scripts and whatever else. Anyone know any good resources/documentation/tutorials for learning how to start this?

[stark crow]

Somewhere from this planet I would heavily assume (:

[slender yew]

:( well I know that much

but region?

NA/EU

[stark crow]

There sure is a good tutorial on it on yt

[slender yew]

Ion judge

[stark crow]

I don't like to disclose anything sorry

[slender yew]

its okay I understand

you seem like a cool person but I cannot send u a friend request :(

[stark crow]

Don't worry

If you need help, you can ping me

[slender yew]

I know, thing is I'm just looking for mutuals w the same intrests so I can improve myself

I wanna learn python once I move on from lua

whenever that may be

[stark crow]

Python really is a walk in the park

[slender yew]

yeah it seems that way

especially since its so similar to lua

after python I was thinking Java

[stark crow]

Java will need some time I can tell you that

[graceful cairn]

dos anybody here know a site where u can buy roblox assets (aside from clearlydev)

[slender yew]

yeah it seems kind of difficult

but also worth it

what would you recommend?

[stark crow]

To learn Java

[slender yew]

no like a language

thats worth learning

after python lets say

[stark crow]

JS, and it's accompanying front and backend frameworks

but that's a bit more

complex

depending on the framework you end up in

[slender yew]

isnt that like java

[stark crow]

no

[slender yew]

oh

[stark crow]

oh and PHP, while it may be outdated, you can be sure that more than 50% of sites or web apps still have PHP in them

[near sonnet]

alr im offically to dumb for the plugin

i give up

i might have to retire

[slender yew]

basically, select all the instances of the UI u want to scale, then open the plugin -> unit conversion -> both scales

[near sonnet]

i do not see those thing here

tbh

i seee this

[near sonnet]

so i got this

then click unit conversion

then scale and scale

and then my ui scales on all screens or devices?

[uneven jolt]

Currently learning type annotation with OOP modules, is this a good structure? (like for memory and such)

[wide sparrow]

responded a bit late, if this is out of date and someone answered then oh well

dont use waitforchild on everything, its a bad practice. i know people say "oh you should always use waitforchild to be safe" NO. using waitforchild on everything basically means you get away with lazy practices. you need to design the system around the fact you should NEVER have to use waitforchild on pretty much anything. don't get me wrong, its useful in some cases, but if overused it quickly becomes into a "fix everything" system....and its not

[near sonnet]

i see

u sound a little like my teacher tbh

[wide sparrow]

lmao

[true birch]

Yep

[near sonnet]

btw i just invented scaling for myself

well on pc

on mobile it still looks ass

but idc

[true birch]

Ok

[near sonnet]

wait a sek

do i have to scale textlables too?

[true birch]

Yep

If auto scaled is on no

[ripe plume]

just set the size of your object to 1,1 before starting to resize it, and it'll be in scale when you drag it around

[near sonnet]

aw man

im still hater of gui

[true birch]

I was too until I learned

[near sonnet]

xD

i have to learn so many things like wth

i see these things here in chatand dont understand shit

[true birch]

There is no many things its just a bit

[near sonnet]

not only gui but scripting in general

like whatdahelly

[true birch]

Scripting same it is a lot but gui is really easy

First day of trying gui I made this loading screen

[near sonnet]

thats fire

tbh

[true birch]

Idk it was my first try

[near sonnet]

i couldnt do that

[true birch]

Yes you can if you focus

[near sonnet]

might be true

but maybe i dont want to xD

i just want the skill to script

but dont wanna learn it

is there a way?

[true birch]

But you'll to understand how they even work

Need*

It's important for scripting

I got a tutorail explaining them if you want

[near sonnet]

its 1am rn for me so not right now but sure i mean id love to learn

alr guys imma hop off for today

i did his whole beginner course

[true birch]

Yes same

I am gonna watch Gui tutorial since I don't understand them that good

[near sonnet]

alr xD

good luck ig

and ty for the help

[true birch]

No problem I learn you learn

[near sonnet]

wait would u say his advanced scripting tutorial is worth to go throught

like i did with the beginner

@true birch

[true birch]

Yes

He teaches everything not everything but important ones

[near sonnet]

Alr

Ill need some time tho

[bleak glade]

did i do my packing right

[true birch]

I watch it every night

[true birch]

Tf is that ain't lua that's luau

[bleak glade]

obviously

[near sonnet]

Wait do i need luau also for roblox scripting?

[wide sparrow]

if you're using roblox studio

luaU is what you use by default

[near sonnet]

Wait

Im confused

[wide sparrow]

you dont need to think about the specifics right now but LuaU is derived from Lua by roblox to use in roblox scripting

but you do not have to think about it

[near sonnet]

Alr

[wide sparrow]

just use roblox studio as normal, nothing changes

[near sonnet]

Then i wont

[near sonnet]

Alr teacher

[candid hare]

If I want to collect certain stats for the rounds(total tags, longest time without being tagged), whats the best way for me to do that?

[somber vault]

if you want it to be easily accessible from different scripts then i would keep it in a folder and have folders named after each player, then have values for each according thing

@candid hare

[candid hare]

Yeah, I want the stats recorded so i can use that and convert it into my currency

if you understand

[somber vault]

then you just take the values and port it into a function to get the according currency per unit

[candid hare]

okay 👍

anyone can help with my code?

i need to make the IntValues data save!

money = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("money")
moneyPer = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("moneyPer")
moneyMultiplier = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("multiplier")
gems = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("gems")
plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
chance = ""
moneyPer.Value = 1
moneyMultiplier.Value = 1

button = script.Parent
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    money.Value += moneyPer.Value * moneyMultiplier.Value
    DisplayOnClickUI()
    
    chance = math.random(1, 10)
    if chance == 1 then
        gems.Value += 1
        DisplayGemCount()
    end
end)

function DisplayOnClickUI()
    plr.PlayerGui.currencyScreenGui.currencyFrame.moneyLabel.Text = tostring(money.Value)
end

function DisplayGemCount()
    plr.PlayerGui.currencyScreenGui.currencyFrame.gemLabel.Text = tostring(gems.Value)
end```

this is the code

the intValues gems and money need to be saved- i just don't understand datasaving!

[iron vigil]

honestly just use an api like profilestore

im using profilestore and its really easy to use

and it works

id recommend learning exactly how it works tho rather than just blatantly using the api tho

always good to know how stuff works, apis just save you the time and headache of making it work right

[pseudo maple]

What type of scripting do you recommend i learn over the summer holiday

[iron vigil]

if ur free during the summer i recommend making an ambition project and sticking to it

idk in the past and from what ive seen people's biggest issue in scripting is just sticking to it and/or not branching out to do hard stuff

if something is hard then that is good

u could try to make a key functionality for a game

a refined combat system, movement system, inventory system, etc

all would probably be good to learn

[cinder mulch]

if your going to use a c use c++? Why c# lol?

[iron vigil]

ig its preference

[pure olive]

have you tried BASIC

[remote bear]

because i have already learnt it for school and i have messed with it a bit so why not?

[remote bear]

is that a python graphics library? i can t find what your talking about online

[safe sail]

anyone want to make a game?

[dense aspen]

how does profilestore work?

[dense aspen]

what game?

[pure olive]

No it is its own programming language very good for basic physics simulations and equations

for beginners atleast

very readable

[safe sail]

im thinking a cc game

[remote bear]

looks interesting though i am not looking for an easy language since i find luau very readable i much rather use c# and maybe java or c++ in the future

[pure olive]

okay go for c++ then

good for physics also

[remote bear]

yeah i see it used alot in some videos i watch and i think i will focus on that although i would have to learn how to use open gl i think

[copper apex]

Java is goated

[slender cairn]

How useable is ssms, i mean like queries, sub query trigger n usp for developing things

[jade marlin]

Idk what they are but it probably won't be very useful to you as of now because you don't know how it works

[slender cairn]

hmm it's basic database system

the fundamentals

rn am at the end of my 2nd semester and it's easy af, but idk how useful it's gon be

( DDL, DML ) but using ssms

```This is in local script

[naive sleet]

local script is the problem, the server wont know the updated money of the player if it is only updated on the client

you should have the server handling purchases with a remote event, and the client only receives the new money to display it in the ui

    end
end)```

[next hull]

just "Text here..." + variable + "More text here..."?

[crude quarry]

oh yeah im dumb thanks

[next hull]

i forgot if roblox uses the + symbol or .. symbol

i think it was the .. symbol

[crude quarry]

I've been using JS too much

I forgot the basics lmao

[next hull]

boi u have it right here

[crude quarry]

those are within parathesis wasn't sure if it worked the same

[next hull]

oh

ok

[next hull]

make sure to tostring() your variable if it isnt a string

[crude quarry]

will do, thanks

Works perfectly

Doesn't look perfect but its functional

[uneven jolt]

Why does TopbarPlus use a custom "signal" module? It looks the exact same, so why not just make bindable events in the OOP constructor?

VS Topbars API

[hoary cedar]

They're bulkyand less efficient

They also deep-copy tables

[uneven jolt]

how would an API be faster than the base roblox system? Doesnt this line right here say "minimal extra cost"

[uneven jolt]

also what would deepcopying tables have to do here? Its a bindable event am I missing something?

(i might just be really stupid btw, still trying to figure out how OOP really works in roblox)

[short void]

what do u recommend tho

[copper apex]

Learn .__index

A metamethod for metatables

[hoary cedar]

It means the data you send through the event is not the data that the callbacks may receive

[hoary cedar]

You're right. The implementation is in Lua Vs C++, presumably, so yes, it's bound to be slower

But it's still more lightweight

Gives you full control over the signal's operation

[uneven jolt]

Ahhh alright. You mentioned the data might not be the data you receive? What does that mean?

OH

NEVERMIND I see the things they added

I didn't realize they had the disconnectAll

I'll look into it tomorrow once I get back to coding

Thank you for the help though

can sosmone help me with a leaderboard system pls

[toxic pasture]

how do i make this building with lights when in night its on if when day then its off

[stuck ridge]

normally 🤓 🤓

[dusky tangle]

Yuh and everytime I try to make a click to open door I always end up calling 988 (i have been working on a simple click to open door with only 3 parts in it for the past 8??? I can’t math, hours now, since 7pm to 3am I wanna reset character rn)

[vapid arrow]

i wanna make a footstep thing based off wich character someone is playing they get diffrent footstep sounds how do i do thius

when the player joins they get a string value with nothing in it untill they select a character then it updates the value to wichever character is chosen

[oblique anvil]

local char = script.Parent
local as = game:GetService("AssetService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
local description = game.Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromDescription(game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.UserId),Enum.HumanoidRigType.R15)
description.Parent = game.Workspace
local head = description:FindFirstChild("Head")
local oldhead = char:FindFirstChild("Head")
local neck = oldhead:FindFirstChild("Neck")
neck.Part1 = head
oldhead:Destroy()

Basically let me explain what Im tryna do - I placed a R15 rig in StarterPlayer so when the players spawn in they have a standard character but in addition to this when they spawn in I want to swap the standard R15 head with the players actual head - (I don;t know if you're familiar with the game Basketball Legends they do that) so this is what this code tryna do but the issue is that for some reason my player is nowndying and respawning constantly and Idk why!
@jaunty herald and co.

[jaunty herald]

ok lemme read this

[dusky tangle]

Duuuude wtf that didn’t work for my door

[jaunty herald]

yeah tbh i don't know anything about this

sorry man

keep asking people

[oblique anvil]

ok

[oblique anvil]

What do you mean

[dusky tangle]

That didn’t fix my door

[oblique anvil]

oh

It didnt work for me either as as I said my character keeps dying and respawning

[jaunty herald]

wait so

you create the new head, and then you set the neck.part1 to the new head and then finally destroy the old head right?

did you parent the new head to the character

im not sure if thats the solution but let me know

@oblique anvil

[oblique anvil]

That did not work

[soft oasis]

Yoo Guyz

[hallow crag]

wont work cause ur character resets if you destroy the old head

[soft oasis]

Toilet Simulator

[hallow crag]

gpt prints??

[crude quarry]

No those are mine for debugging

[hallow crag]

use Activated instead of MouseButton1Click

[crude quarry]

I wanted to make sure each part worked since I haven't coded in months

[crude quarry]

Is there a difference? I read they basically work the same

[hallow crag]

Activated is newer and has more functionality

[crude quarry]

Ah okay I'll look into those thank you

Tbf activated would be easier for me to remember

is anyone goated at datastorages that could help me out w qdding onto my current one

[mortal roost]

uhh, isnt it better to put the character you want to make in a model called "StarterCharacter" and put it in starterPlayer?

instead of doing all that code

[oblique anvil]

yeah

but i wont toreplace the head of that model with the actual head of the player for each player

local char = script.Parent
local as = game:GetService("AssetService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
local description = game.Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromDescription(game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.UserId),Enum.HumanoidRigType.R15)

local head = description:FindFirstChild("Head")
local oldhead = char:FindFirstChild("Head")
local neck = oldhead:FindFirstChild("Neck")
neck.Part1 = head
head.Parent = char
oldhead.Transparency = 1

I changed the coe

[mortal roost]

does it work or does it print out an error

[oblique anvil]

No it doesnt

This going to be hard to explain

[mortal roost]

does it print an error in the output?

[oblique anvil]

but now i spawn at the place where I placeed the moel in starter character bfroe placing it in startercharacter

[mortal roost]

where do you want it to spawn?

[oblique anvil]

and its like its my characte ron top of the r15 rig in startercharacter

At the spawn location I set

but I get teleported to the location of the R15 rig in startercharacter immediately after

At this stage i just give up

[mortal roost]

try to place rge r15 rig on where you want to spawn

maybe it will work

[oblique anvil]

ok but in trhe uture

because its a basketball game

[mortal roost]

oh

[oblique anvil]

i have 10 spawn points (5v5)

so that doesnt work

[mortal roost]

Hm

[oblique anvil]

Why is this so unecessariyl hard

I thought this was meant to be easy

[mortal roost]

what do you want to get with this code?

[oblique anvil]

huh

[mortal roost]

like what do you want the script to do

[oblique anvil]

so basically

As I said I place an R15 model rig in starterhcaracters for all players to statrt with that

and then WHEN they spawn with this R15 rig, I wann areplace that head with their nromal avatars actual head - for each player

[mortal roost]

OHHH

that makes it wayy simpler

does the char you start with arl have a head?

[oblique anvil]

yes

[mortal roost]

then why instead of cloning the head you just change it with the same properties as the players head

[oblique anvil]

Oh

Wait hwat

[mortal roost]

well

let me explain in simpler terms

you have the head arlight

you chance the color to the heads color

[somber vault]

can someone help me with my script so when i step on a platform it gives a player wins and you can keep on jumping on it and you have to touch spawnlocation this is my script

local mainPlatform = workspace:WaitForChild("MainPlatform")
local spawnLocations = {}

-- Automatically get all SpawnLocations
for _, obj in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if obj:IsA("SpawnLocation") then
table.insert(spawnLocations, obj)

-- When touching any SpawnLocation, allow win
for _, spawn in ipairs(spawnLocations) do
spawn.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then
canWin[player.UserId] = true
print(player.Name .. " touched spawn and can win again.")
end
end)
end

-- When touching the main platform, give win if allowed
mainPlatform.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if not player then return end

if canWin[player.UserId] then
    local stats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
    if stats then
        local wins = stats:FindFirstChild("Wins")
        if wins then

how u guys do this this looks scary 😭

[dapper dagger]

watch some scripting tutorials

it looks scary at first but it's actually not that hard

[golden atlas]

i am rn by brawldev

[hardy pilot]

Youll use about 20% of the buttons ontop

[dapper dagger]

real

[golden atlas]

mhm alr

[dapper dagger]

depends on what you want to achieve tho

builders use a lot more buttons than scripters lol

[hardy pilot]

Not that much

Lwk just properties

And maybe the model anchor button

[dapper dagger]

oh

idk I watch robuilder and he does use a lot of buttons

[golden atlas]

this guy has properties

[dapper dagger]

so I was like "oh every builders should be the same"

[golden atlas]

and i dont?

[dapper dagger]

poor guy he doesn't got the explorer opened

[golden atlas]

whats that

like bro

and its gone

i only have this now

the panel that shows you what's in your game

go to view

you can choose which windows you want to open

[cursive pebble]

how do i detect if a part has a folder named "PartStats" and inside of it is a StringValue named "PartType" and then determine the value of that string

[brittle pond]

FindFirstChild

[cursive pebble]

only way i could think of is

local statfolder = Part:Findfirstchild("PartStats")
local String = statfolder:FindFirstChild("PartType")
local Type = String.Value

but that feels like there should be a simplier faster way to do it or is there not?

[brittle pond]

How much simpler and faster do you want it to be..
Not everything can be reduced to one line

[cursive pebble]

i was just asking chill
