[brittle pond]

I'm just answering, I don't mean to offend

[cursive pebble]

and usually from what i see, things like this usually have a more compact alternate syntax

but wait that gives an error if it doesnt find statfolder or doesnt find string @brittle pond

[brittle pond]

Mhm, that's why you need to check it

using ifs

[cursive pebble]

we doing too much, i feel like this can be reduced to like 2 lines of code tf

[spice summit]

for _, Part in pairs(PartsTouched) do
    local Type = Part:FindFirstChild("PartStats") and Part.PartStats:FindFirstChild("PartType") and Part.PartStats.PartType.Value
    if Type == "Wood" and not table.find(ValidWood, Part) then
        table.insert(ValidWood, Part)
    end
end

this'a work

[vital parrot]

Can someone tell me if this is correct for projectiles?

1. Client Fires projectile
2. Client creates projectile
3. Fire to server for new projectile
4. Fire to all other clients to render projectile
5. Client projectile hit, Fires a Event to server
6. Server does a confirmation check
7. Fires to all clients if hit
8. If nobody hits then remove on client side if hit or after a certain amount of time

1 and 2 might be switched actually

[spice summit]

why not just have the client set it up and have the server create the bullet so you dont have to do alot of that

[vital parrot]

wym by that? can you give me an example please

whatever is the smoothest looking is what I'm going for

[golden atlas]

IM LEARNING

[spice summit]

Client Input: Player presses fire, input is processed.
Client Predicts & Creates Projectile Locally (optional visual feedback)
Client Sends Fire Request to Server (including direction, position, velocity)
Server Spawns Authoritative Projectile (official logic, damage, etc.)
Server Broadcasts to All Clients: "This projectile exists"
All Clients Render the Projectile (use replicated data: position, direction)
Server Handles Hit Detection (never trust the client)
Server Notifies Clients of Hit or Expiry
Clients Remove the Projectile

[golden atlas]

i learned to change colors stack and rotate

[spice summit]

[golden atlas]

prec 8 it

[vital parrot]

I'm just wondering what is the difference between yours and mine besides the client doing the hit detection and the server doing a check on validation

or is that all?

[spice summit]

No client needs to send hit data.
The projectile is simulated once (server-side).
Clients only show visuals — they don’t drive logic.
Helps with lag as some load is put on server.
Only the server decides damage and hits (avoids exploiters).

[golden atlas]

wait is the code section for scripting?

[spice summit]

yeppers

[golden atlas]

ahh i see

[vital parrot]

The thing is I dont want the visuals to go through walls if the player is lagging

is the reason I wanted to do client hits as well

just more visually pleasing I guess

[spice summit]

Client Fires:
Does a local raycast immediately to check for obvious obstructions (like the wall right in front of the barrel).
If blocked, cancel the shot.
If clear, spawn a temporary predicted projectile.
Send shot data to the server (position, direction, maybe timestamp).

Server Receives Fire Request:
Re-runs the raycast from server-side (to verify no cheating).
Spawns the real projectile server-side.
Broadcasts "SpawnProjectile" to all clients with synced data.

Clients Receive Projectile Info:
Hide/remove their predicted one.
Spawn/render the authoritative projectile, now synced across clients.
Server Handles Hit Detection:
Projectile hits something? Server confirms and broadcasts the hit.

Clients React to Hit:
Play effects, damage indicators, despawn projectile visuals.

that would prolly work

[vital parrot]

so that'll still be waiting for the server to fire to the clients

But I could try it

I wanted the clients to have full visuals if their wifi is bad still but I guess if they're lagging then that's on them lol

I'm pretty neat with everything and nothing should lag for others

[vital parrot]

You ever do projectiles btw?

Or was this just a good example on how to do it

[spice summit]

si

i have

[vital parrot]

alright cool then ill def try it that way then

thank you

[proven depot]

gng how much should ask for remaking untitled boxing game scripting it

[vital parrot]

it's Coder()

not coding

should be making a for loop btw if you're gonna do that

or tween it

for i = 1, 0, -0.5 do
Coding.transparency = i
end

it'll go to 0

it's pretty simple

first value is the starting value

then the 2nd is the ending value

and then third value is how much you want to subtract or add

Coding.transparency = 1

coding is the baseplate

[candid hare]

The coding variable is the transparency for the baseplate, so when you write Coding.transparency(transparency should be written with a capital T), you try to access the transparency of the transparency if you understand

on the upper bar, press view, and there, enable output

@spice summit

do u per chance have your own game framework

[spice summit]

i did.

i ditched that joun for an opensource one

[crystal olive]

which?

[spice summit]

ima sound basic af but knit

[crystal olive]

hold up u not even in the server

[crystal olive]

oh ok, at lesat ur doint that

i hav eno diea how a framework supopsed to wokr

im just making templates for games

[cursive pebble]

how do i make clickdetector work while holding a tool?

cause rn if i have a tool out and i try to click it, it does nothing

i need to unequip the tool

[vagrant temple]

Try open unreal engine you get overwhelmed🤣

[ripe plume]

lol try blender u cant even use wasd without doing a lot of work

[golden atlas]

im getting overwhelmed

[vagrant temple]

Middle mouse is dead thanks to blender

[vagrant temple]

Just take it section by section you get hang of it

Making games is most fun job in the world enjoy it

[pseudo maple]

If you guys were to relearn backend programming from scratch, how would you do it?

[vagrant temple]

You dont front end bumch of apps then slowly migrate to back

Backend is not complex just more puzzeling you can keep it stupid simple and build layers

Ef is mvp though makes migration night and day

[oblique lintel]

not that hard he says

[dull bone]

i just got accepted YEHAAA

took 3 tries

how do i get the role

[candid oak]

guys is it bad if i dont use any fancy framework like knit and I just write my own code?

or will it eventually hit me in the back

[somber vault]

idk what that is

[spice summit]

i believe you just wait 😄

congrats tho

hopefully i get accepted too

[candid oak]

what are you getting accepted to

[candid oak]

I dont understand the image you sent

[spice summit]

a skill role bro

[candid oak]

where do i apply

[spice summit]

theres an information channel for this

[candid oak]

😈

ima get all the roles

[hushed veldt]

not really

it just depends on how you want to write your code

[dull bone]

good luck

[candid oak]

im starting to use modules and whatnot but I started learning coding without using these complicated things and now its hard to switch

in my previous game I only had like 1 module

[hybrid oar]

can sm1 gimme a road map for learning roblox scripting. I want to make money by doing hiring and stuff . i have watched brawldevs beginner and a bit of advanced tutorial

[naive temple]

guys my game is lagging too much can someone help me?

[ember nimbus]

it's not bad to not use a framework

but it is bad to not use modulescripts, even for things that seem like they could just be a localscript or script

if you make everything a modulescript it makes interscript communication much easier

[somber vault]

yes

dont use chat gpt or free models

probably uninstall the bitcoin miner from ur computer, and the roblox hacks too

[rustic elm]

can we use chatgpt premium

[somber vault]

i mean you can use chat gpt

just you know

like organize the code

actually know what it does

i meant in a dont just throw it in hoping it works way

[lime hemlock]

It's not compulsory to use any extensive framework. All that matters is that you get the work done according to how you want it.

Even me as a web developer, I don't use React, Tailwind CSS, or any other fancy frameworks. I enjoy the satisfaction of coding in pure languages.

Nokotan would never. 💀

[stuck ridge]

not using react? - error
not using chatgpt? - fatal error

[somber vault]

use a framework if it helps or speeds it up, if you can do it faster without learning it then do it that way

[vagrant temple]

we use angular with devexpress

[lime hemlock]

I'm a lot more faster using vanilla languages. Learning a framework would take a while, and it'll only consume my time.

But if I ever want a job at a tech company, I'll jab myself with a load of IV drips to help me stay determined as I learn React.
-# Those reusable components annoy me, but it's a must if I wanna learn React. 🤷

[heavy sleet]

I forgot how to check for two keys being pressed at once to do an action 💔

[heavy sleet]

average roblox exploit script

indeed

[somber vault]

not sigma

[heavy sleet]

real

[lime hemlock]

Final cramming before the calculus exam be like:

[somber vault]

bools, if both of them are met then it can do the acting

[heavy sleet]

thats true

[somber vault]

when the keys released just make it false

🤔

[heavy sleet]

ye ik

i mean thats one way

i swear you could check for both consecutively no

[earnest night]

can anyone explain what i did wrong , i never coded in my life , just watched what someone did in a video

[heavy sleet]

or im thinking of smth else

[heavy sleet]

i never coded in my life , just watched what someone did in a video

there is your issue

[earnest night]

wym

[heavy sleet]

go fucking learn

dumb dumb

[earnest night]

i am fucking learning too when i watch videos , i just want to know what i did wrong

[somber vault]

your capitalization

[earnest night]

where

[somber vault]

if you get red lines under text that means it will error

you have to keep things consistent

like Player and player

as well as checkpointPart and checkpointpart

[earnest night]

i did

now i got no red lines

AND IT FUCKING DOESNT WORK

[coral field]

chill

[earnest night]

i just want checkpoint system with sound

[coral field]

wont work cuz of this

touched == false

[earnest night]

so what should i do, cuz in the vid it was like that

[coral field]

wait nv

[coral field]

do you know scripting basics

[earnest night]

no

[coral field]

eh

you might want to learn them

nah you have to learn them

not might

[earnest night]

how

where'

where do i learn

and while im learning i wanted to build a little obby with my friend

[coral field]

you have a big library infront of you already

[earnest night]

and theres a fucking issue that i cant solve

[coral field]

you can research anyways

[earnest night]

ok i will learn with my friend , but what was the issue that wouldn't let us get our checkpoints

what should i change

[golden atlas]

im d1 at this shi

[somber vault]

yes very

[golden atlas]

how ocme i dont have catshadow

[somber vault]

click the searchbar

[golden atlas]

castshadow i mean

[golden atlas]

o ty

[earnest night]

bro noone still helped me with changing the script

[golden atlas]

whats a string rlly

i watched this and i still dont understand the point of a string

is it just single and double quotations

[somber vault]

a string is just text

[somber vault]

both are correct syntax

[golden atlas]

whats a syntax

[somber vault]

it’s just preference

[somber vault]

like the building blocks of code like: if or and else elseif local

[golden atlas]

idk what that means but i will understand it someday

[somber vault]

look up code academy

[golden atlas]

im learning datatypes rn

[somber vault]

and do the lua course

[golden atlas]

is it pay for

[somber vault]

i think it’s free

[thick sail]

Lads, quick question: how can I make a reliable character hitbox WITHOUT using .Touched? ShapecastHitbox is quite unreliable for this

[somber vault]

numbers: anything with numerical value like 1,2,3,4 etc. bools: true or false. like a quiz, it’s right or not. strings; text, like letters, symbols and numbers(the numbers don’t hold numerical value)

[somber vault]

make a hitbox part, clone it and weld it to the player

[mint cloud]

You use muchacho hitboxes duh

[golden atlas]

mhm

[thick sail]

Then use .Touched anyway?

That's what I'm currently doing

A welded hitbox part

[somber vault]

yes

[thick sail]

That's annoying

🗣️

I hate .Touched

[mint cloud]

Maybe a spatialquery

[thick sail]

But yeah it unfortunately works too well

[somber vault]

it’s either a crappy one or no one ❌

[somber vault]

what’s the use

[thick sail]

This is for detecting when a vehicle collides with the players btw

[mint cloud]

I honestly do not know

But it’s good for hitboxes I think

[golden atlas]

ur doing a commision?

[somber vault]

use collection service

and whenever it touches the car make it hurt you 😱

or smth idk

[thick sail]

Wouldn't I need .Touched to process a spatial query?

[somber vault]

it doesn’t need a hitbox

[thick sail]

They're not mutually replaceable

[mint cloud]

Idk how a spatialquery works 😭

[thick sail]

I'm using collectionservice for all vehicle parts

I'd rather the character detect the vehicle collision

Instead of a quadrillion .Touched connections existing

[mint cloud]

Use math

[thick sail]

Using big words to sound smart ahh

Spatial query does indeed sound like big boy smarts

[thick sail]

And yeah

[mint cloud]

If only there hadn’t been a follow up question 🥲

[thick sail]

What about that follow up chess game

You just don't follow up huh

[mint cloud]

Say less I’m down

[thick sail]

No cheating 💔

[mint cloud]

Run it back on puzzle battle??

[thick sail]

lol

[mint cloud]

I’m a man of honor never cheated in my life

[somber vault]

put it on the grill and bumper, your not getting in collisions on the side of the car

[thick sail]

Still

A single character hitbox

Way better imo

It's the same idea

[somber vault]

not really

[thick sail]

I've tagged the grill and bumpers already

[somber vault]

is this line a gun game

[thick sail]

So yeah it works exactly the same

No it's a goofier game

[golden atlas]

as a commision what is the avg pay u get?

[thick sail]

I assume client side is also preferable

[thick sail]

I barely do them

I don't think I've even done 5 in total

I principally make my own games

[mint cloud]

I’ve done 0 🗣️🗣️

I’ve also made 0 games

[thick sail]

This is an exception and I'm being paid pretty fucking well

Cannot complain

[mint cloud]

And written ~10 lines of code in 2 years

I’m so tuff

[thick sail]

🔥

[somber vault]

pop yo shi

[golden atlas]

damn

[thick sail]

Should I handle hit detection on the client?

Or not even bother

I'm also using a ragdoll

Which is server sided

[ruby cipher]

wouldnt that be extremely vulnerable

[thick sail]

You can't control the client's physics either way

Exploiters are goofballs

They're free to modify their own physics while still being replicated

[livid spear]

You can surely use a bit of math to reduce the sort of physics they’re abusing right?

[thick sail]

No

You just have to check for things like their velocities and height etc

[livid spear]

You can’t check velocity?

[thick sail]

You can't stop them from exploiting their own physics

[livid spear]

Of the player?

[thick sail]

Yeah but you need to check that ANYWAY

[livid spear]

But if I used the speed formula

[thick sail]

Regardless of where this is for example

[livid spear]

And did it continuously for each player

[thick sail]

You can check at intervals

[livid spear]

Wouldn’t that stop like the harmful physics?

[thick sail]

If it surpasses some ridiculous number then you warn or ban them

[livid spear]

Yeah I know but in a loop

[thick sail]

Yeah but that has nothing to do with hit detection

[livid spear]

What sort of physics do u mean?

[thick sail]

A vehicle colliding with a player

Exploiters can move wherever they want

So detecting where the player is can be client sided

[livid spear]

Oh yeah

I don’t think that stuff will ever be stopped by Roblox or anyone tbh

Maybe one day if Roblox changes the entire engine it was built on

Or a decent amount

[golden atlas]

how do i get my stuff like this

its hard following along cause mines a mess

[somber vault]

turn on dark mode

[golden atlas]

can u show me how

[somber vault]

look it up

[true birch]

What

[crude wolf]

I want a group of code inside a function to run at the same time as the rest of the function does. For example the main function loads the egg animations but at the same time I want the sound effects to play, what is happening is when I load 3 at a time, each egg loads, then plays the sound effects then after the one is done, the next one starts, when i want all 3 to start at the same time.

[stark crow]

Multithreading

If you use yielding code and you want it to run simultaneously, it‘s your best bet

task.spawn(function()
— your code
end)

Does chatgpt work for roblox?

who do you think is going to use chatgpt

if you have one guy busy writing to chatgpt all day then thats your scripter

[stark crow]

Em

Em what

ChatGPT is good at stacking up code filled with bugs

[peak jolt]

so are humans

i think bros doing jobs for cheap price

[muted fern]

yeeeee

[iron sail]

well if ur doing it yourself ur not a scripter lol

[muted fern]

ye bro

[peak jolt]

why does that not make you a scripter

[muted fern]

ye bro

[iron sail]

because youre not scripting it yourself lol?

youre having chatgpt script it

[peak jolt]

but im the one copy pasting it and making sure it works

[iron sail]

does making chatgpt make art make you an artist?

with that logic youre wrong

[peak jolt]

if chatgpt makes an art piece with a mistake and i wasnt an artist i wouldnt know how to fix it

if chatgpt makes a script with a bug i can fix it because i am a scripter

[iron sail]

🤦‍♂️

[peak jolt]

go ahead get chatgpt plus right now and try to make a game with it im not saying its useless but there is a bit of knowledge required to make it cohesive

if you have no scripting knowledge you will be stuck in chatgpt all day essentially... learning how to script

[weak radish]

Only 1k$ for setting up datastores!!

[weak radish]

I know loads of people with no knowledge of scripting who have entire chatgpt games that are functional

[toxic pagoda]

does anyone know a scripter who is good at cashgrab systems (paid with % on games with ccu alr)

[weak radish]

What ccu

[toxic pagoda]

10-50 ccu

[weak radish]

Send the game link here or dms

[muted fern]

ok

datastore of what

[toxic pagoda]

https://www.xyrx.dev/ all the games on my website are good examples

[weak radish]

wym ok it was sarcasm

[muted fern]

i accept 1k

to make datastore

[weak radish]

which game is the % for though

[weak radish]

bro youre dumb asf

[muted fern]

ye

explain pls

[weak radish]

No one's paying you 1k to implement datastores

[muted fern]

why

[weak radish]

I said it as a joke because you're definitely not doing it for a "cheap price" and you couldn't have proven me more right

[muted fern]

ido

i just need robux

i mean u can try

i dont want money i want robux

[weak radish]

Lmao what do you think is a cheap price if you think implementing datastores is worth 1000$

[muted fern]

not dollard

[toxic pagoda]

rn the train vs car game but if you can make the stuff a kit I can give you % on a LOT more games (most games I own have get a revenue of 2k-8k robux a day

[muted fern]

i meant robux

[weak radish]

Dm me I might be able to help

[muted fern]

1k robux

[spice summit]

kill me bro

[regal scarab]

Some of the leaderstats show "-" for some reason, could this be a roblox related loading issue for the leaderboard?

[patent lodge]

the dash means a nil value

datastoreservice not loading data properly

[regal scarab]

so its a roblox issue right?

[patent lodge]

are you leaderstats being correctly created?

[lethal osprey]

Someone have good R15 Ragdoll module? Rlly need it pls

[regal scarab]

yes

[patent lodge]

is the data store returning valid?

[sacred ore]

thats bc you don't set base data to 0

[patent lodge]

no its if you set base data to nil

0 is different

[sacred ore]

ik but he don't SET his data to 0

[regal scarab]

i did?

[patent lodge]

i read that wrong

[patent lodge]

its a possibility lemme see your script

[regal scarab]

okay ty

[sacred ore]

when you load data are you giving a base data if your player is joining for the first time?

[regal scarab]

yes the default value is 0

[patent lodge]

you could print HttpService:JSONEncode() to debug

[golden atlas]

variables seem hard to learn ngl i understand it copys

in some form

[patent lodge]

it would print the structured data from data stores

[formal wolf]

guys is rescripting the same as fixing a bug?

[patent lodge]

if the scripts the problem

[formal wolf]

what if you're just editing the code

[regal scarab]

maybe this is the problem?

[formal wolf]

not restarting

[mild escarp]

That's a very common issue

There could be 2 things that are behind this issue (Make sure to check them)

• Incomplete Data
• Typical Loading Behavior

[static coral]

variables are used to store references to certain values so that you can use them later

[golden atlas]

see i dont understand

[mild escarp]

Or It could be Player Inactivity/New Players

[golden atlas]

like its storing numbers?

[sacred ore]

it is like algebra local x = 1

[static coral]

in luau, variables can store basically anything

[golden atlas]

i had a 48 in algebra

[golden atlas]

o

so its used to just store something?

[regal scarab]

well this is what came out of the output the rest of the players are just []

[static coral]

yes

do research on the different datatypes

and learn some computer architecture

[sacred ore]

it is just to make your script more organized, less laggy and shorter

[static coral]

it will help

[golden atlas]

i see

[static coral]

it would also help learning a lower level language first

[golden atlas]

im on episdoe 4

[static coral]

as i said

also learn computer architecture

it will help with any sort of coding

[golden atlas]

idk what hat is

[static coral]

basically learn how computers work

like datatypes, terminology, how different hardware parts work, bits, bytes, etc

[golden atlas]

o

[static coral]

with hardware i mostly mean ram and cpu

since u wont really be using the others when coding

atleast on roblox

[formal wolf]

guys is rescripting the same as fixing a bug (without rewriting everything)

[static coral]

elaborate

[sacred ore]

if your script is the problem, yes kinda

[formal wolf]

one of my clients is saying that because I was paid to rescript some systems in the game, i am obligated to fix the bugs from systems that i wasn't assigned to do & I didn't write the code for

[sacred ore]

then you are suppose to fixe the bugs that are script related

[formal wolf]

wdym

[static coral]

well what was the original agreement

what was the task simply put

[marsh kelp]

No, if you didn't agree about "fixing" then give them their bugs back

[formal wolf]

version history exists

😔

[marsh kelp]

...? you're making it in their game?

https://tenor.com/view/tiktok-cooking-fire-garlic-stan-twitter-gif-9918428864133282085

[formal wolf]

i was hired for % after rescripting a system

then they found someone who worked faster than me

and the owner said he would pay me off

but he refuses to pay me for the bug fixes

and he says it was rescripting

[marsh kelp]

if those aren't your fault, and you both didn't agree about "fixing bugs"

then try to take the money and get in touch with a staff to ask them about reporting this guy

[still condor]

i asked him to rescript ym game, didnt say system i said rescript my game

and hes charging me for fixing bugs in the game i told him to rescript?

i didnt say rescript some systems

i said rescript my game

[marsh kelp]

rescript as in re create from scratch?

[still condor]

yes rescript my game, i tolf him most of it is good but some of it is very bad

resscript the bad parts and hes charging me extra for bug fixes

ill send screenshot proof of exactly what i said

[formal wolf]

u said “game “

also later on

you said that the 50k you paid me was like an upfront

after you put me on %

[marsh kelp]

it's best for you both to consult a Mod that is a scripter.
anything I say here is just my opinion

[snow geyser]

yo on what app did you make this on?

[near sonnet]

yo guys why does my gui button scale with the pluggin but the text in it not?

[frozen swift]

Check in TextScaled

[near sonnet]

ahhh i see

[true moon]

its so fun to just mess around with drag detector, i just made a trash picking game where you get paid for everything you put in ur bag that you also have to drag around xD

[near sonnet]

guys i hate gui

why does my image not get scaled but my button does or other way around

[true moon]

are you using the same scaletype on both

[near sonnet]

Im using the plugin

[true moon]

that doesnt stop you from checking if its using the same scaletype on both

imageLabel.ScaleType

check on both instances

if they arent the same thats probably the problem

[formal wolf]

and he says it was rescripting

[quasi urchin]

Anyone know how to fix explosions causing desyncing of other player's characters? (Other people can turn invisible or are high up in air, stuff like that)

[night rock]

Dm me if you can help me with my pet thing that only i van give in a script to people I choose

[near sonnet]

why tf does that happen

[pine torrent]

You might have position offset instead of scaled and size got some offset instead of scale

But I'd rather say it's the position offset problem

Easy fix tho

[near sonnet]

nah when i click scale on the plugin that still happens

[pine torrent]

If it's 0,100 / scale, offset
You do 0.1, 0

[pine torrent]

You might wanna do it manually, way easier lol

[cobalt oracle]

no use the scale plugin

which one do you use @near sonnet

[pine torrent]

Why would he

[cobalt oracle]

its easier?

[rain osprey]

thank you roblox for making enums indexed

[pine torrent]

It's literally position using offset instead of sce

Scale

[near sonnet]

this one idk how its called

[cobalt oracle]

yeah use that one

[pine torrent]

Set position and size sce

Scale

[near sonnet]

i did alr

[cobalt oracle]

did you use set

the ui offset to

0.5,0,0.5

[pine torrent]

Anchor point

?

[cobalt oracle]

yeah i mean anchor point mb im a scripter

[near sonnet]

yall are saying to much i dont understand im new guys chill

[pine torrent]

He obviously did not

[cobalt oracle]

imnot talkign to you am i

[pine torrent]

[near sonnet]

alr lemme try

[cobalt oracle]

make sure the anchor point is that

its not gonna fix it but

ill tell u what to do next

[near sonnet]

alr my button moved a little but i did it

[thick sail]

Guys

How can I make collision detection more efficient

[cobalt oracle]

can you take picture of inside your

button please

[thick sail]

I'm trying to create a car knockback system

So when you run into other players they get flung and ragdoll

[near sonnet]

properties ?

[thick sail]

The issue is that it doesn't happen fast enough

[cobalt oracle]

like this @near sonnet

[near sonnet]

ah i see

[cobalt oracle]

delete them all then

re add using the plugin

[near sonnet]

alr ig ur the pro

[cobalt oracle]

only click these for the ones

you want to keep still

[dark basin]

What’s the best place I can learn how to script?

[near sonnet]

so i create them then select them and click scale rightß

?

[cobalt oracle]

it wouldbe better for you to scale the position and size for each of them

and then add a

UiAspectRatioConstraint

that should work

[near sonnet]

so i create button, use the tool, create image inside of it, use the tool again, then add UiAspectRatioConstraint

[cobalt oracle]

na you dont have to re create the button only the UIAspectRatio then

add a new one

before that you should scale position and size

[pine torrent]

I learnt UI hard way

[cobalt oracle]

so first delete all UIAspectRatio

[pine torrent]

No documentation, pure experimentation

[cobalt oracle]

then scale position and size

then add it back using the plugin

[near sonnet]

alr

brb

[cobalt oracle]

no wonder you think not using the plugin is easier hes obv a beginner

[near sonnet]

i am

[snow geyser]

how do i turn of that red thing

[near sonnet]

whatdahelly

[lofty plinth]

there is no red in this image

but im guessing u mean the highlight

press insert

[snow geyser]

where

[lofty plinth]

on ur keyboard

[snow geyser]

found it THANK YOU YOUR A LIFE SAVER

[quasi urchin]

Anyone know how to fix explosions causing desyncing of other player's characters? (Other people can turn invisible or are high up in air, stuff like that)

[shy bronze]

does fps guns work by sending the client to the server the hit target and the hit pos to double check check on the server or smth else i tried raycasting on the server and it was ass

[quasi urchin]

Yeah usenclient local script

And send cord on remotevent

[celest cipher]

is my game good enough? i was tryna practice to make a grow a garden game to help learn more abt scripting but i now have a full game basically and i want to sell it. could i make something off this?

i saw a datastore warning when u bought something in the store, do you save every time you buy something?

[celest cipher]

ig yea

my friend helped with the datastore

[wise turtle]

the game seemed ok but i was just curious to see it tbh, wasn't really interested in buying it

[celest cipher]

not too sure

[celest cipher]

yeah i get it

[ripe plume]

oh thats not good

yeah same here the game was cool though :)

[celest cipher]

any place i can find people to buy my game

[ripe plume]

rodevs maybe

[celest cipher]

not TOO sure tho

[ripe plume]

or 'roblox developers'

oh of course that studslop updated
and proceeded to break the platform

[plucky oak]

servers are atleast having problems

[crude quarry]

Took an entire day of learning groupservice but I finally got it

[lucid pendant]

wild

[lucid pendant]

howd that take u a whole day

oh

[crude quarry]

it also checks if you're part of those groups before switching teams

[lucid pendant]

🔥

[lucid pendant]

im so bored i made it so if u click the ground it spawns 1000 parts

[crude quarry]

make a weather system that uses the clouds in the terrain function

[lucid pendant]

done

🔥

[crude quarry]

now make it rain, snow, autumn and idk volcanic ash

[lucid pendant]

too lazy fr

ima make an npc

[crude quarry]

wrong video

welp I lost it 🥲

[lucid pendant]

damn

[crude quarry]

I need to make it faster but this works perfectly

[lucid pendant]

ye

[crude quarry]

didnt clouds use to have a rain function?

oh wait nvm im thinking of the plugin

[snow geyser]

is this good for day 3?

[candid kestrel]

guh boat dock sys guh

[crude quarry]

now learn instance.new and create and modify the part that way

[snow geyser]

... im still on the turtorials bucko learning else and else if

im long ways away

[crude quarry]

still on tutorials on day3?

[snow geyser]

yea?

[crude quarry]

you need to start working on random projects

[snow geyser]

bruh what the heck i mean ill prob finish the turtorials this week

[candid kestrel]

guh

[crude quarry]

instance.new is actually a beginner method that creates a part from code

Look into it

[snow geyser]

oh alright thanks ima get to practice but thanks ✌

[indigo thorn]

It's normal if you are only doing a few hours a day

Or an hour

Healthy to do it like that

[snow geyser]

yea thats what im doing

hello

[copper apex]

I would love to make a weather system but I have zero motivation to make the effects of rain, hail, snow, etc

[lucid pendant]

i made it in 10 mins

😭

[crude quarry]

thats why im using a plugin for the rain

Saves time

[copper apex]

👏

[crude quarry]

This one has the best rain effect i've ever seen

[lucid pendant]

what in the sigma is happening to bro

[copper apex]

I have never made any vfx in my life

[crude quarry]

same

I've only ever gotten a png made it real tiny and scattered them randomly throughout the world looking like snow

[lucid pendant]

i made an npc that goes towards you and tries to kiss you

[crude quarry]

James CHarles?

[gilded gyro]

step 1: make ur own

[crude quarry]

nah im too stupid to make my own vfx

[gilded gyro]

💀 then practice

[crude quarry]

im already coding isn't that enough

[copper apex]

Coding is fun until you need the assets to make it work

[gilded gyro]

me code fast enough

[jagged glacier]

is cs still practical to take in college?

[gilded gyro]

i can even code rain in 5 minutes

[copper apex]

Depends

[gilded gyro]

css?

[jagged glacier]

anyone here studies cs?

comp sci

[gilded gyro]

@jagged glacier where u live?

[crude quarry]

I have a bad habbit of coding for 5 days then stopping for like 6 months and forgetting what I learned

im trying to get better at it

[copper apex]

Wow

[gilded gyro]

I'm not lying tho

[copper apex]

I didnt say u were 🫠

[gilded gyro]

just 5-10 minutes

[crude quarry]

I did

[gilded gyro]

using raycast ahh

[crude quarry]

ew raycasting

kidding

[gilded gyro]

dawg, is important

[crude quarry]

I know its uses but I have no idea how to use it

[gilded gyro]

local ray = workspace:Raycast(pos,dir,params)

it uses on weapons

[lucid pendant]

bro really wants me

[gilded gyro]

💀

[jagged glacier]

asia

[crude quarry]

yeah but its an invisble beam you cant see which bugs me cuz I have no idea if its works

I tried to mess with it once

[gilded gyro]

ofc is invisible 😭

[crude quarry]

I couldnt figure it out

[lucid pendant]

made wayfindr in like 9 mins is that good or bad

[gilded gyro]

filipino?

I'm currently g11

ict

[crude quarry]

It'd be better if roblox made it visible so I knew where it was going and we could just toggle it on or off

[gilded gyro]

except i have alot of experience with coding since 2018

[crude quarry]

like beam

[gilded gyro]

to make rain i do like this

[jagged glacier]

oh really?

[crude quarry]

fair

[gilded gyro]

pos = Vector3.new(0,100,0)
dir = Vector3.new(0,-500,0)
local ray = workspace:Raycast(pos,dir)

if ray then

end

[crude quarry]

im still using the plugin

[gilded gyro]

direction is where the pointing at

[jagged glacier]

i only had some because one of our subject

[gilded gyro]

yes

[jagged glacier]

@gilded gyro u're going to study cs or what in college?

u haev some leverage mostly bro

[gilded gyro]

but mostly suckass at math

[crude quarry]

Okay yall now that I know How
print('hello world') works I need step by step direction on making a fully functional police car with light, sirens, and missles THANKKKKSS
/j

[jagged glacier]

are you going to study comp sci or what field?

@gilded gyro

[gilded gyro]

not surely bro

still senior high school rn

[jagged glacier]

but do u see yourself studying comp sci?

[gilded gyro]

idk what's that

[jagged glacier]

computer science?

[crude quarry]

computer science more like
ChatGPT Science

[jagged glacier]

but u have some experience when it comes to programmin, mostly cuz of roblox right

[night storm]

roblox is just a tiny spec of what cs offers, it does give you some basics

[gilded gyro]

i do work on godot tho

sometimes

except I didn't learn C#

[jagged glacier]

ohh cuz game dev right?

[gilded gyro]

yes

bakit

[jagged glacier]

you do it for fun right?

[gilded gyro]

uh yes

why

[jagged glacier]

that's cool

nah nothing really

i should've study programming early in my life lol

[lusty patrol]

quick questions whats the difference between cframes and vector3

[thick sigil]

A vector3 is just a point in 3D space. It can represent just a point or a direction. It has an x, y, and z value.

A CFrame is similar to a Vector3 in the since that it’s a point and can hold direction data, but it also hold orientation data. It holds a 3x3 matrix of data that represents the rotation and orientation of a point in 3D space.

[lusty patrol]

so to summarize
vector 3 handles position/direction
cframe handles allat but also rotation

[thick sigil]

Yup

[lusty patrol]

so wouldn't cframes be better?>

since they're able to control more stuff

[thick sigil]

Depends. Sometimes you don’t always need rotation data, so it’s just simpler to modify a vector3. For example, position is vector3 value.. but CFrame’s hold position, and orientation all in one. If you need to simply just move something to a specific location you can just set the CFrame. Sometimes you just want to move it right 5 studs, in which case you’d add vectors to the original position. It really just depends on the scenario.

[lusty patrol]

so cframe holds data and vector3 just does it?

kinda like waitforchild and findfirstchild or setasync/getasync

[hoary cedar]

No

[thick sigil]

Ehhh kinda but not really.

Vector3 is just a container for 3 numbers: x, y, z. It’s a simple data type.

CFrame is a container for both a Vector3 position and rotation/orientation data (i.e. a full coordinate frame). It holds more data and enables more advanced spatial operations like transformation, rotation, and local space math.

[hoary cedar]

The key distinction is that CFrames represent position and rotation. Their key functionality surrounds advanced rotational operations and data

[lusty patrol]

so i'd use vector3 for simpler stuff so i don't use up too much data

[hoary cedar]

Vector3s solely store XYZ components. These can be used to represent position or rotation, but only in the simplest form, and in one form at a time

[brave cairn]

use the marketplace for jobs ty
and don't spam

[hoary cedar]

In performance-critical areas, yes

[lusty patrol]

i see then

[hoary cedar]

Sometimes constructing CFrames with only XYZ data can help streamline offsetting position with respect to object-space

[thick sigil]

Yeah it’s important to realize you can create a new CFrame with only one Vector3 inside of it to store position, or a CFrame that only stores rotation.

It really depends on the specific case to determine which is the best option to use.

[lucid pendant]

yo what should i code for fun

[hoary cedar]

The CFrame class is one of the few classes with a large number of constructor overloads. You could choose to provide XYZ numbers literals in the form of a tuple as opposed to a Vector3

CFrame.new(1, 2, 3) or CFrame.new(Vector3.new(1, 2, 3))

The former is typically used with magic numbers. The latter is typically used when resetting the rotation of existing assemblies

[peak jolt]

cframe is not a class its a data type

[wise turtle]

lie

[hoary cedar]

Same thing

[peak jolt]

not really

[hoary cedar]

Yes, really

[peak jolt]

not even conceptually

[hoary cedar]

A class is a datatype

[peak jolt]

a class type is mutable a data type is not

oh shoot

haha we're both in the oss server

yeah im the guy, its going quite well

[wise turtle]

thats nice

[plush zenith]

i had to do a bunch of rewrite up until recently

gonna be closing the rollback thread soon cause i got a good groove going

[wise turtle]

🙏

[plush zenith]

we got professor as mutuals as well haha

how do you know him?

[wise turtle]

he added me as a connection 😭

[plush zenith]

[crude quarry]

local player = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Accessory")
Can I use this to find any accessory on a user?

[plush zenith]

yup

all accessories are under the model instance

[crude quarry]

so theoretically

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Accessory")
    if player or "Accessory" ~= nil then
        for i,v in pairs(player:GetChildren()) do
            v:Destroy()
        end
    end
end)```

[somber vault]

incorrect syntax i think

😓

[plush zenith]

not exactly, two things:

1. accessory should be replaced with whatever the name of the accessory you want to find is

[crude quarry]

any

Im not looking for a specific one

[plush zenith]

yup

ah

[somber vault]

use findfirstchildofclass

[plush zenith]

ahhhh

[plush zenith]

yup do that

[crude quarry]

Omg finally thanks

[winter glade]

aren't you just comparing the string "Accessory" to the nil value, not the actual accessory object?

[plush zenith]

ur not in the green yet

[plush zenith]

was gonna say this

ur comparing a string to nil

[somber vault]

are you doing ray casts?

[plush zenith]

its a random string, meaning i could put "Cheese" ~= nil and it would still work

[crude quarry]

hmm

[somber vault]

are you doing ray casts?

[crude quarry]

no

[somber vault]

what are you doing

[plush zenith]

oh thirdly, this:

ur not finding the player, ur finding the accessory

meaning, this code would only remove everything in the accessory, not the player

if you wanna get to the player, you just need to do hit.Parent, not hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Accessory")

[somber vault]

lol what’s the purpose of destroying the character?

[crude quarry]

No im trying to make a hat remover hence why im looking for the accessory

[plush zenith]

hat remover, hmmmm

[crude quarry]

and it works as is

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Accessory")
    if player then
        for i,v in pairs(player:GetChildren()) do
            v:Destroy()
        end
    end
end)```

[somber vault]

there’s a property for body assigned positions like head face etc

[lucid pendant]

bro exploded the toilet

[plush zenith]

this works?

[crude quarry]

yes

[lucid pendant]

whys it red

[plush zenith]

are you using a test rig or real players

[plush zenith]

goodness

[lucid pendant]

[crude quarry]

testing on myself

[plush zenith]

test it on other rigs

(if you can)

it will not work

[crude quarry]

I dont need it to work on rigs

Just players

[plush zenith]

what's the name of that accessory

[plush zenith]

sorry i meant players haha

[somber vault]

your removing the only accessory you have which is a hat

[plush zenith]

cause im thinking the name of the crown is "Accessory" and that's why its working

[somber vault]

it’s not gonna work right

[plush zenith]

we could provide you with some hat remover code right now tbh

of course i dont wanna spoon feed you

[somber vault]

yea

[plush zenith]

so i'll explain how it works

so you can actually learn and not just get working code without gaining knowledge

sound good @crude quarry ?

[crude quarry]

The crown is called MeshPartAccessory

[lucid pendant]

yessir

[plush zenith]
