[sick saffron]

i thought remote events only went one way

[soft hull]

or changes animation priority if it is intentional to play 2 animations at the same time

[soft hull]

it go both ways

[sick saffron]

alr ik what to do

[soft hull]

server -> client | client -> server

[sick saffron]

thx

Should I learn Knit?

or does it really matter?

[young mantle]

No but learn a networking module and most of the popular packages

[vital parrot]

I use bytenet2 mostly for my games

Is this kind of like the same thing?

[young mantle]

Knit is just a framework but it has stopped receiving updates

so most people have pivoted to creating their own frameworks / new branches of knit

[vital parrot]

Is there any packages I should learn?

[young mantle]

Ones that you'll see a lot are promise, profilestore, janitor/trove/maid and a networking module (I like Packet by Suphi Kaner).

[vital parrot]

does it matter which janitor/trove/maid I use?

@young mantle

[young mantle]

personal preference but some people don't like trove

[vital parrot]

Maybe I'll take a look at janitor

and promises

I dont think I need profilestore

[crystal olive]

…

Its just easier to manage data

[vital parrot]

I know are you telling me I should learn it then? I've looked at it before

[copper apex]

Frameworks are overrated

[paper ridge]

Guys should i use luau?

[crystal olive]

Erm

ragebaiting fosho

[copper apex]

Folders and good code structure is good enough

Or even better

[vital parrot]

Kinda sounded like you was ragebaiting me lol

[rapid eagle]

ofc

[civic karma]

anyone scripter

I need scripter rq

[rapid eagle]

no

u find scripter

#code-help

here we not script

jk

what u want

@civic karma

[vital parrot]

Trove and promises look real useful together

[stone garden]

HOW I CLOSE THIS DUMB IA?

[young mantle]

I like trove too lol

I just like how easy it is

i love oop though so it's great to create a trove obj for each oop object

[empty mulch]

Restart studio

[soft current]

dawg why are you giving us the options of choosing whether you become a super hero or a super villain 💀

[warped idol]

i have no idea

Do i try a mix of both or do i just end up choosing one permanent side

[soft current]

to put this simply, you either have the choice of doing illegal things and carrying a deep burden, or you can morally hack and do whatever with the appreciation that you've done what's right

truth be told ive taken accounts before, and although it seems fun at the beginning, it is a mental pain to deal with later

i speak from experience, not judgement

so, id say stick to the ethical ways

[warped idol]

Hm maybe i can try to steal a few accounts? nothing serious of course just some new ones

[soft current]

i wouldn't even think about doing that considering that you taking accounts is like taking candy from a baby

stealing accounts from helpless children isn't some exception

[vital parrot]

true that

[soft current]

better safe than sorry is all i can really say

[stone garden]

thanks but already did

[rapid eagle]

roblox doesn't allow that 🤷🏻‍♀️ so by doing so you are kinda broking the law

[mental shore]

[rapid eagle]

oh ma gahd

[mental shore]

Don't discuss topics like this, it's against the rules

Same here, don't discuss stuff like this

[pine torrent]

What did he make

It's deleted message

[soft current]

my apologies, just trying to stop the guy

[rapid eagle]

tuff mosd

mod

[mental shore]

Np it's just a verbal

[soft current]

i get it yeah, btw is it cool if i dm you?

i just have a question

[rapid eagle]

hey logic i have question what comes first algorithm or logic?

[mental shore]

logic

[cedar badge]

im gonna practice thing like userinout service till i can do anything with it even if it tskes a week is that good

[sick flower]

whats ur opinion on profile store guys?

[unborn sable]

what's the point of remote events

[empty mulch]

Send information and trigger logic from server to local or local to server

[rapid eagle]

jow come

how*

[mossy hound]

anyone need free scripter?

[weak radish]

What are the chances you know anything

[mossy hound]

1/99

i can do some decent stuff

just not super advanced combat systems and shit

[weak radish]

whats a boolean

[mossy hound]

true/false value

commonly used for debounces and stuff

[weak radish]

atleast you arent one of the dumb ones who gloats and cant do shit

[mossy hound]

lol

i just need practice 😭

[weak radish]

go to dms, im not hiring you im just gonna challenge you

[mossy hound]

i want to be better and stuff

[mossy hound]

ok bet

[random jungle]

i heard that i shouldnt use too much remote events but what if im doing a ui based game and everything is getting handled on client?

[elfin timber]

would yall suggest me getting vscode

[weak radish]

u act like its paid

[weak radish]

Most stuff you dont need validation for but just dont use remote events when you dont need to

where were you planning on using them

[random jungle]

like sending gold to the server

[weak radish]

what?

[random jungle]

when i click a button and the player gets gold from clicking it

i has to be send to a server

[elfin timber]

i mean

is it worth switching

[vital sinew]

If you're working on a big project, or you need better version control, then yes. Otherwise, no.

[elfin timber]

what would you consider a "larger project" in terms of idk like

lines of code?

[vital sinew]

Uhhhhh

50k+ ig

[elfin timber]

im still in mylearning phase really so its no use for me rn

[vital sinew]

That's not even THAT big, but around there is pretty big imo

For Roblox at least

[elfin timber]

thanks

[vital sinew]

It's really a QoL thing cuz it has better completion and much better linting

I don't use it, personally

But I will eventually, probably

[tame compass]

Just made this thing for my project related to the Death Note anime

I want to make it more satisfying

I'll be working on the visual effects

[vital sinew]

Eyyy I like it!

[proven cosmos]

hey guys, just got into gfx. does this look good as a game icon?

[stiff ibex]

RobloxTreeWidget (/ROBLOX-Pre-Jekyll/RobloxStudio/RobloxTreeWidget.h)

[stiff ibex]

this is code-discussion...

[proven cosmos]

i know, but i felt like asking here for opinions aswell

[stiff ibex]

I personally wouldn't. Did you ask in #dev-discussion?

[proven cosmos]

i will next lol

[tame finch]

looking for a good datastore module, send link please

[weak radish]

try this one https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/DataStoreService

[uneven jolt]

are module scripts set to nil cleared from memory? or are they cached?

[ruby cipher]

How do yall go abt adding force to a massless object with custom physics

Just need it to be pushed forward with a small upward force

[polar cargo]

how do i make a realtime countdown when you click a button and assign that into a textlabel

[zealous heath]

with a for i loop

[sour vine]

ticks

[cold pasture]

im trying to do a hunger system the depletes passively but when i eat it doesnt save the new value and just reverts to the the pre-eating hunger value when it depletes and basically doesnt do anything.

Is it possible to get pass the writefile restrictions when making a plugin ? Not in a malicious way

[hushed basin]

"Not in a malicious way" 💔🥀

[muted crow]

local players = game.Players
local plr = players.LocalPlayer
local SprintModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Sprint.SprintModule)

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local toggle = false

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe)
    if gpe then return end
    
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift and not toggle then
        toggle = true
        SprintModule.sprinting(plr)
    else
        toggle = false
        SprintModule.walking(plr)
    end
end)```

why does it stop running everytime i go another direction??

like when im running and holding w and then click s it then goes back to the default speed or it calls my walking function

local sprint = {
    
    sprinting = function(plr)

        local character = plr.Character
        if not character then return end

        local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if not humanoid then return end

        humanoid.WalkSpeed = 24
    end,

    walking = function(plr)

        local character = plr.Character
        if not character then return end

        local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if not humanoid then return end

        local walkspeed = humanoid.WalkSpeed

        humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
    end
}

return sprint

this is the module

wrong channel

[sand flower]

you're just doing else which catches everything other than left shift and toggle

[muted crow]

whoops

oh

[sand flower]

you should do if else

[muted crow]

elseif?

[sand flower]

left shift and toggle

[sand flower]

yes

[muted crow]

okay let me try that

[muted crow]

that worked ty

[sand flower]

[vast hornet]

print(tonumber("393939393993399399393933993393939") + 1)
what would happen chat

[candid oak]

What wrong with what i said

[hushed basin]

nothing ts just cute

[candid oak]

aight

[silver marten]

print("1" + 1)

[vast hornet]

😰

wait will that work

what is luau even about atp

[lethal imp]

why is my bar going from bottom to top shouldn't it be from top to bottom? local function Update() Bar.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, Hunger.Value / 100, 0) end

[pine torrent]

rotate ur bar LOL

[lethal imp]

i js did no change

[pine torrent]

Wym

[lethal imp]

nvm i got it to work

was rotating the wrong frame

[pine torrent]

Why did u listen to my suggestion first of all

It was rhetorical

[white gust]

`Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, HumanoidRp, Character, CurrentM1)
local HitBoxPos = HumanoidRp.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -0.3, -3.2)
Oparams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Character}
local NAME = ""

local Damage, Size = 4.1, 2.5

if CurrentM1 == 5 then
    Damage = 8
    Size = 6
end


local allHit = workspace:GetPartBoundsInRadius(HitBoxPos.Position, Size, Oparams)
TestingPurpose.Position = HitBoxPos.Position
TestingPurpose.Size = Vector3.new(Size,Size,Size)`

Is this an inefficient way to do hitboxes? They always seem to lag behind my character

[tame finch]

its cause the sevrer isn't perfectly synchronized with the client

the server is behind

[hushed basin]

hit detection should be done on the client

[tame finch]

the client

^

[white gust]

Any videos or resources that go over hit detection in that manner? 😅

[frank knoll]

judge my code. I broke it down for readability for those newer to scripting.

It works. It is just a simple farming tycoon script.

[wise turtle]

ways of doing different types of hit detection, or in regards to netcode

[hoary cedar]

I would consider this code written by someone who's newer to scripting, lol

[frank knoll]

Yeah I said that on purpose. I am new to scripting. Was hoping to break it down for those more junior than I. Which isn't much

[hoary cedar]

It's fine for its relative skill level

Some light redundancy and inconsistency

Could use never-nesting patterns

[frank knoll]

What sticks out?

[frank knoll]

That is for the data store I am buidling. When the player rejoins, the server script in theory should put it back in the purchased folder and restart the while true statement

Nope. That part should be in the dropper

because the button will be destroyed next time and the script gone. Thank you for that

My droppers need scripts. I am an idiot

Thank you so mich

[hoary cedar]

Yes, but that's not exactly what I wanted to you to conclude, @frank knoll

The if-statement is redundant. The line prior guarantees its parent will be workspace.Purchased

A more advanced design would call to another system that loads in the respective dropper. This system is re-used when deserializing save-data, providing a centralized dropper implementation

[frank knoll]

Thank you, going to start the data store. Wil lyou be on tomorrow? I will post an update

[hoary cedar]

I won't

[spring fog]

guys I’m having trouble building a mpg system

npc

[blissful ruin]

can someone help on this bruh, lua local Angle = math.rad(MouseAngle) PilotSeat.CFrame = CFrame.new(PilotSeat.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, -Angle) -- why on earth is it moving the actual seat? like i have a mouseangle which is 0-360, and is suppose to just rotate the seat by that angle?

[wise turtle]

should learn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foKFpXZYXPk

[true birch]

Roblox Learn are cooking these days

They still gotta explain more

[cold plank]

Has roblox fixed up collisions for meshes with large amounts of vertices (using PreciseConvexDecomposition)
I was wondering as I was thinking about making cave generation with the editable mesh api

[gloomy ginkgo]

Can someone explain why this doesn't work?

local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if player then
        player.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0
    end)```
why isn't this working

[amber lagoon]

prolly bc its done wrong

[frank knoll]

Damn. This is going to make things way easier…

[frank knoll]

Change (hit) to (player) in the function

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
hit.Parent:BreakJoints()
end
end)

[errant plover]

Curveball question: do you guys think AI like Copilot will ever get to the point where they are able to replace real scripters?

[cold plank]

You're missing an end after the if statement

local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if player then
        player.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0
    end
end)```

[lilac ore]

guys i have a scripting question @everyone

[sudden estuary]

don't ping everyone!

[lilac ore]

who should i ping

[sudden estuary]

just ask

[lilac ore]

oh okay sorry. this is my first time going to this channel

[sudden estuary]

np

[lilac ore]

i'm wondering if there is anyone who specializes in like lock on camera system

cos im making a combat system

and whenever i dash sideways with lock on

it does not go in a circle

i kinda wanted it to orbit around the target when it does side dash

[sudden estuary]

u r likely dashing with only the initial direction vector

u would have to change ur direction each frame

[lilac ore]

yeah i think so with RightVector

[sudden estuary]

yes

[lilac ore]

how to do this

[sudden estuary]

show ur current code

[lilac ore]

u mind if i show my codes?

[sudden estuary]

yea

[lilac ore]

i got 4 codes for it

okay imma show u

[sudden estuary]

just show the only one where u handle the dashing

[lilac ore]

this prolly the only main thing where it handles vector changes

howeve

with/without lock on, it purely side dashes

i was wondering how to rework it so when i do lock on, it side dashes in an orbital way around the target

this inside a module btw

[sudden estuary]

make a RunService renderstep with priority of camera , determine ur direction as u did here (i.e either Right *-1/1 or Look * -1/1 and then keep updating this direction in the function

[lilac ore]

can i add u and just dm u 😭

[sudden estuary]

i would rather do it here , my dms r flooded

[lilac ore]

oh okay gimme a sec

[queen kelp]

coffee creamer and milk

[sudden estuary]

local sign
local direction 
if dashDirection == "Left" then
    direction = "RightVector"
    sign = -1

elseif dashDirection == "Right" then
    direction = "RightVector"
    sign = 1

elseif dashDirection == "Forward" then
    direction = "lookVector"
    sign = 1

else
    direction = "lookVector"
    sign = -1
end

RunService:BindToRenderStep("DashCamera", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value + 1,function() 
    bodyVel.Velocity = hrp.CFrame[direction] * sign * 100
end)

something like this

make sure to unbind it after dashing

[lilac ore]

wdym

[sudden estuary]

it will run as long as its Binded

do RunService::UnbindFromRenderStep("DashCamera") , once ur dashing has ended

[lilac ore]

ohh okay

wouldn't it be disconnect since it's runservice?

nvm it's a function

lemme try it for a sec

[lilac ore]

also, what is the difference between
local sign
local sign = nil

[sudden estuary]

nothing

[glass garden]

any feedback is welcome!

[true birch]

Huh what?

[sudden estuary]

he's the one explaining in the video

[lilac ore]

i cant move after

did i do it right?

[true birch]

Ohhh

[glass garden]

I made that video

[sudden estuary]

mhm looks fine

[glass garden]

but we're always looking for ways to improve

[true birch]

I didn't mean by you didn't explained good I meant if you could explain other codes like string or something else

[glass garden]

For sure! Yeah we have a lot in the pipeline. Next up is probably reliable vs. unreliable remote events

[sudden estuary]

try debugging by adding a print inside the render step function

[true birch]

Oh that one for sure is useful I'll watch it

I still don't really understand difference

[lilac ore]

it doesnt print

[true birch]

All ik is that UnreliableRemoteEvent is for like sending HUGE information

And RemoteEvent for small information

[sudden estuary]

check for any error in output

[glass garden]

kinda the opposite! There's a strict size limit for unreliables. The gist is: reliable events guarantee that their data is received on the other end and in the same order they were sent. Unreliables do not guarantee delivery nor order. So it's good for non-critical game data that is sent at high frequency

[lilac ore]

no errors too

[lilac ore]

.

[sudden estuary]

try removing the + 1 then

[true birch]

Ahh I see

[lilac ore]

same

no changes

[viscid finch]

hi

Should we still learn knit

[viscid finch]

For beginners who still don't know it

Or is it too late

[glass garden]

no

don't use it

[viscid finch]

What's the new alternative?

[glass garden]

module scripts

https://github.com/Sleitnick/Knit/blob/main/ARCHIVAL.md

[viscid finch]

Just plain module scripts?

[glass garden]

yup

[viscid finch]

is a framework not needed

I always see game devs asking for experience with frameworks like knit

[glass garden]

I'd argue that a framework is not needed. I haven't used one in almost 2 years and it's been fine

Roblox provides enough out of the box

[viscid finch]

2 years :O

[viscid finch]

Would you argue that vs code rojo and these external stuff are not needed too?

[ancient marsh]

Does anyone have experience with making waves mine look like doo doo

[glass garden]

Not needed, but nice. I still think vscode's text editor is far superior, especially if you write luau using luau-lsp

Depends on the needs of your team though

[sudden estuary]

well then just do RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function i gave)

then disconnect the connection after 1 second

[spiral jungle]

What about type script

[glass garden]

Also depends on your team. If you have a team of people who are experienced with typescript, then that might be a good route. TS's type system is still magnitudes better than luau's. Luau has different goals in that ecosystem though, and its v2 solver is slowly getting much better

[sudden estuary]

@lilac ore did this work?

wait a minute

r u doing the dash in server?

[hasty pelican]

how is my code

local spawn = game.Workspace.SpawnLocation

local function setSpawnToNeon ()
    spawn.Material = "Neon"
end

setSpawnToNeon()

print("Spawn is now neon!!")

[lilac ore]

imma try once i get home since i jus went outside

[tame compass]

It’s… small

[lilac ore]

it’s in a module so ig yeah it’s server sided

[plush barn]

Y’all ever watch someone script and realize there is levels to this?

[sudden estuary]

thats the issue

I assumed it was client mb

[lilac ore]

oh yeah right

it has to be local

for render thing

[sudden estuary]

yes

[hasty pelican]

I'm learning

[lilac ore]

wb in a module

[sudden estuary]

I would suggest doing it in client

[lilac ore]

the velocity changes?

[sudden estuary]

yes

[lilac ore]

does it apply to the server too?

[sudden estuary]

yep

[plush barn]

I’m learning to

[sudden estuary]

client has network ownership over its character

which is how exploiters fly

[hasty pelican]

awosome!

[plush barn]

Did you finish beginner turtorial ?

[tame compass]

You could make the function more useful

[hasty pelican]

for Brawldev? yea twice, but rn im re doing it since im rusty

[plush barn]

I’m redoing it my 2ND TIME

[tame compass]

By making it turn a specific part to neon and not SpawnLocation only

[hasty pelican]

how?

[plush barn]

What do you not understand

Maybe I might know

[lilac ore]

so whatever changes there are made in a humanoid, it’s also replicated on the server?

[plush barn]

How to help

[hasty pelican]

i understand it tbh just forgot it all so im rusty

i just dont think yoyu could make the funtion more useful

[sudden estuary]

yes in physics terms

the value itself won't replicate

[plush barn]

Functions help organize code

[hasty pelican]

oh

i aint got many parts

[tame compass]

local function MakePartNeon(Part : Part)
Part.Material = neon
end

MakePartNeon(spawnLocation)

[plush barn]

You use it when there’s a lot of code that you have and you don’t know what to do to it or you just don’t want a mess

[hasty pelican]

plus its almost 12 for me so imma go to bed soon

[hasty pelican]

Honestly is funtions that good?

[tame compass]

Yes, lol

[plush barn]

Yes

You need it

With out it your codes a mess

[tame compass]

That’s like the foundation of code

[lilac ore]

wb animations?

[rapid verge]

have the function take material as an input

then instead of making spawn neon, you can make the spawn any material you want

[plush barn]

A function holds your code and helps you excecute it in one word with the ()

[hasty pelican]

Tommrow i gotta do scoping and stuff

its gonna be a pain

[sudden estuary]

it does as long as the animation exists in server

[rapid verge]

gl with closures

[hasty pelican]

What

[plush barn]

I could learn with you if you want

[sudden estuary]

but if u change the motor6d transform it won't replicate

[tame compass]

And you can pass parameters to functions

[plush barn]

Ya that to

[sudden estuary]

only exception is animation , because thats how roblox handles it

[hasty pelican]

How? like we watch the video at the same time or smth?

[tame compass]

That’s easy

[plush barn]

We both watch the video and if you have questions I might have the answer and if I have the question you can have the answer to it

[lilac ore]

wdym by it exists in the server?

the animation ids?

[sudden estuary]

the Animation instance

[lilac ore]

stored in serverstorage?

[hasty pelican]

ohhh bet

[plush barn]

You NA?

[sudden estuary]

no , just have to exist in server side

[plush barn]

Or Eu

[tame compass]

local function ChangePartMaterial(Part : Part, Material)
Part.Material = Material
end

ChangePartMaterial(spawnlocation, Enum.Material.Plastic)

[hasty pelican]

EST is NA right? if so then yes

[tame compass]

Just like that

[hasty pelican]

What does it do then

[plush barn]

Same as me you tryna make a game together when we both experienced?

[rapid verge]

like how you can define variables

you can define parameters for your functions

now when you call that function, you can add stuff inside the brackets and it will put inside the function

local function printinquotes(message)
    print(string.format("%s"),message)
end

printinquotes("hello world") --// prints "hello world"

[plush barn]

Planing to do computer science in the future

[tame compass]

The function takes 2 parameters. Part, which is a Part and Material which is Enum.Material.(material you want)

[hasty pelican]

Heck yea! Id probably finish the begginer and gui series this week. by then we could probably make a simple game then watch the advanced series a little. and practice with what we know and actually make a game

[plush barn]

Facts aight wanna vc

[hasty pelican]

Computer science is soo cool but like for any other carrer path you gotta freaking put effort in it and im soooo lazy

[tame compass]

Did you learn about functions in school?

[plush barn]

I’m only doing comp science for game developement

[tame compass]

It would be easier to explain if you did

[hasty pelican]

what? no im not in liek a carrer path or college

[hasty pelican]

same tbh

[tame compass]

In my country, we learn functions In like fourth grade

[hasty pelican]

dang lucky

aight its 11:40 i gotta head to bed

gn

[tame compass]

like, y(x)=3x

That’s a function

[tame compass]

If you want any help with something - dm me

[crude quarry]

This is a no math zone thankksss

[tame compass]

I’ll try to help

[hasty pelican]

aight

[tame compass]

Functions in programming and math functions are basically the same

[crude quarry]

math is cringe

[rapid verge]

they're pretty much the same until they aren't 😔

[tame compass]

local function y(x:number) : number
return 3*x
end

That’s the same as y(x)=3x

[rapid verge]

kk but functions cant exactly hold state in maths like they could do in luau

[tame compass]

They’re the same at theirs basics

[rapid verge]

pretty much i guess

[tame compass]

They pass parameters and return values depending on the passed parameters

[hot dove]

Where do I know where to place my scripts like replicated storage and starter character scripts etc

[tame compass]

You can put them anywhere you want

But

Local script only work if they’re a descendant of a player

[hot dove]

Wdym descendant like parent

Or child

[tame compass]

It’s like

Children of children of children and etc

For example, Player.Character.Humanoid

Humanoid is a descendant of Player

Player.Character.Humanoid.Animator is a descendant of player too

[hot dove]

How would I classify local scripts as descendants

[tame compass]

Just put them into StarterGui, StarterPack, StarterPlayerScripts or StarterCharacterScripts

[bleak glade]

it depends on the parent

[hot dove]

K

[woeful gate]

lol

[tame compass]

Because these are like descendants to all players

[woeful gate]

loool

[tame compass]

?

[jaunty path]

Dont listen to the kid hes one of the reasons why discord's ignore feature is useful

[somber lodge]

computer's literally do boolean algebra

[crude quarry]

yeah but this is a no math zone, nobody uses it so please dont

[copper apex]

People use math when coding

Wym?

[scenic moon]

Not true at all

[woven wigeon]

local cooldown = false
for _, part in ipairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
    if part:IsA("BasePart") and (part.Name == "TP1" or part.Name == "TP2") then
        part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
            local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
            if player and not cooldown then
                cooldown = true
                local target = workspace:FindFirstChild(part:GetAttribute("To"))
                getRoot(player).CFrame = CFrame.new(target.Position, target.Position + target.CFrame.LookVector)
                wait(1)
                cooldown = false
            end
        end)
    end
end

I'm trying to make it so that the player is teleported in the direction the tp block is facing after the tp but for some reason it keeps it's direction even though i printed the new lookVectors and it's the same as the one on target

[scenic moon]

Say you're a skid without saying you're a skid...

[spiral jungle]

Why not just set the cframes

[woven wigeon]

Same thing, the player just looks in the direction it was facing before the tp, it's what I initially tried

[spiral jungle]

Are they in first person

[woven wigeon]

Yes

[spiral jungle]

Then that’s your problem

[woven wigeon]

Do I need to change camera

[spiral jungle]

Yep

[woven wigeon]

Damn didn't think about that, thanks

[plush barn]

He long do you guys think will take the average person to learn how to make a piece of code that is functional that is some what above the easy level like in a mater of months to specific weeks

[blissful ruin]

AUUGH, anyone know a good video for like coding An airplane? Like something to at least base mine off of?

[copper apex]

How is not true?

Most of the algorithms are derived from mathematical views

Sure you may not use math all the time, but its still used

Whether it may be basic arithmetic or matrix operations

[thorn arch]

must be high or smth

[thorn arch]

all algorithms are math since algorithms are a mathematical concept in the first place lol

[copper apex]

Yeah

[calm trout]

I need someone to answer if this method of data is worthwhile.

I have a values folder under the player, this folder contains all the data for the game.

When the player joins, the data is retrieved from the DataStore, and then they are set to their respective instance's values.

(The instances in the folder are created automatically)

Then the Client Ui waits for everything to load, and updates all the UI with the data obtained from the instances under the Values Folder.

This happens in under a second so not much delay, everything that updates data updates the values under the Values Folder. And it autosaves every minute

When the player leaves or the server closes, it's saved again

I know it's not the best method

But my game doesn't need much

[empty mulch]

Is while os.clock do
task.wait()
a good way to track timers?

[calm trout]

Everything about data is updated from the server, client cannot change this data

Atmost, they can change the values to change ui visuals

[lilac ore]

@sudden estuary thanks a lot it worked in the client side!

[sudden estuary]

great

u r using the Camera Render priority right?

[lilac ore]

yeah the bindtorenderstep

RunService

also

if i try to play animations in LocalScript

does it also replicate in the server?

i think i already asked this but jus wanna clarify it again since i jus got home lol

[sudden estuary]

yes , as long as the animation instance exists in server

and the animation id is under the correct holder

[lilac ore]

wdym by this 😭

like this?

[sudden estuary]

yes

some people create the animation during run time

and some do it in client

in such cases it won't replicate

[frail yarrow]

do people load anims on the fucking server bruh 💔

thats chopped as hell

[lilac ore]

so if i do reference like this, it gets replicated onto the server too?

this is in the LocalScript

[lilac ore]

i do...

cos i've thought all this time that if an animation is played on server, it will be seen by everyone

which i always wanted to achieve

[marsh kelp]

any animation you run for you character, that is owned by you. will get replicated to the server

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Animator#LoadAnimation

[jaunty wolf]

you have "network ownership" over your character. this means your movement, physics, animations, are calculated locally and are allowed to replicate to the server (its why cheaters can speedhack and teleport in every game)
you also get network ownership over any nearby physics objects too, once you walk near them. hackers can actually move these physics objects however they want using this feature

[sudden estuary]

no im talking abt creating the animation instance

whoever runs animation on server should be headed

[jaunty wolf]

without ownership over your char, your movement would have to wait for the server which would feel very laggy

[sudden estuary]

yea

[lilac ore]

😵‍💫

so basically

as long as i created the animation and i played it under a LocalScript

it will be replicated to the server and be seen by everyone?

[lilac ore]

plus this?

[sudden estuary]

yes

[lilac ore]

i see i see

that's helpful!

thanks everybody

[sudden estuary]

afaik network ownership isn't responsible for animation replication

roblox just made it so that animations played on client replicate to server no matter what

but yeah other physics depend on network ownership

[jaunty wolf]

oh ok! i did not know that ty

[wintry totem]

Hey, is it normal for someone to make the art for a game and then hire a scripter to complete the game so they can publish it? like is that normal?

or is that risky, idk how to go about it 🤔

[woeful jay]

i have a phone system and im trying to install a button and when i press that button the frame that the script is connected doesnt wanna open can someone help me

[uneven jolt]

use time() and then time() + duration

are you making a countdown?

[empty mulch]

Time()? Like os.time()?

[empty mulch]

Kind of. Every 60 seconds of triggers a function in a module to spawn something, everyone 180 seconds it triggers something in a different module to roll the chances and possibly spawn

[uneven jolt]

time()

actually

[uneven jolt]

server or client sided

[empty mulch]

Server

[uneven jolt]

then time

[empty mulch]

Yea, can't say I've heard of it

[uneven jolt]

basically returns the uptime of the server

in this case couldnt you just do task.wait(60)?

if its gonna be hardcoded?

[empty mulch]

It's not hard coded. It's a dynamic modular system. I've made timers and countdowns before but I heard os.clock was a good way to do it. So I was asking here

[uneven jolt]

os.clock is the most precise, that could work

i set mine up with time

[empty mulch]

Yeaa that's wild. Can't believe I've never heard of it

[uneven jolt]

your good

[uneven jolt]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/time-you-a-quick-reference-for-all-things-roblox-and-time/2393624

heres a nice reference

[empty mulch]

Oh thanks 🙏

[uneven jolt]

no problem

(it helped me alot)

[empty mulch]

I've heard of all of those other then time() 💀

[slate elbow]

yall what does () mean

[pseudo girder]

    local params = RaycastParams.new()

Anyone know why the position of the preview is not accurate to the mouse pos?

[hallow crag]

u need to get the models aabb and apply it to the position

[pseudo girder]

Fixed but wdym

What aa bb

[hallow crag]

well its useful if u have complex models and u need to calculate where its position needs to be

Axis Aligned Bounding Box

[pseudo girder]

How would I do something like that

[hallow crag]

local function GetModelAABB(model)
    local modelSize = nil
    local modelCFrame = nil

    if model:IsA("BasePart") then
        modelCFrame = model.CFrame
        modelSize = model.Size
    else
        modelCFrame = model:GetPivot()
        modelSize = model:GetExtentsSize()
    end

    local abs = math.abs
    local sizeX = modelSize.X
    local sizeY = modelSize.Y
    local sizeZ = modelSize.Z

    local _, _, _, cframeX1, cframeY1, cframeZ1, cframeX2, cframeY2, cframeZ2, cframeX3, cframeY3, cframeZ3 = modelCFrame:components()

    return Vector3.new(
        abs(cframeX1) * sizeX + abs(cframeY1) * sizeY + abs(cframeZ1) * sizeZ,
        abs(cframeX2) * sizeX + abs(cframeY2) * sizeY + abs(cframeZ2) * sizeZ,
        abs(cframeX3) * sizeX + abs(cframeY3) * sizeY + abs(cframeZ3) * sizeZ
    )
end

local position = CFrame.new(raycast.Position) * (CFrame.new(raycast.Normal * GetModelAABB(object) * 0.5))

object meaning the thing ur moving with ur mouse

[pseudo girder]

Ah ok

I’ll see how I would implement it tmrw

[hallow crag]

if u had a like a tree and u wanted it to be smoothly above the ground

cause trees tend to be a more complex model

[pseudo girder]

This would help kids

Lots*

Ty

[hallow crag]

np gl

r u making like a building system

?

[pseudo girder]

No

It’s actually just a little system I’m working on

For a future idea

[hallow crag]

oh so u dont place this down

?

[pseudo girder]

You would

But it’s not building

[hallow crag]

kk

[tame compass]

How do you make people's characters not disappear after respawning

The only thing I can think is just cloning the model

But is there any other way

[hallow crag]

just clone the character when they die

in position it where they died

[tame compass]

Okaay

Thanks

[hallow crag]

make sure Archivable property is enabled on the character btw

when cloning it

[thorn arch]

Use viewportpointtoray

I believe removing the humanoid should work

Hello guys, So I am trying to limit the player's camera from rotating more than 90 degrees to either side (left or right)

local relativeCFrame = camera.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(character:GetPivot())
    
    local _, YRotationAngle, _ = relativeCFrame:ToOrientation()
    local correctedAngle = 0
    
    --print(YRotationAngle, math.deg(YRotationAngle))
    
    if YRotationAngle > Controller.Constants.MAX_Y_LOCK then  
        correctedAngle = Controller.Constants.MAX_Y_LOCK - YRotationAngle
    
    elseif YRotationAngle <  Controller.Constants.MIN_Y_LOCK then
        correctedAngle = Controller.Constants.MIN_Y_LOCK - YRotationAngle
    end 
    
    relativeCFrame *= CFrame.Angles(0, correctedAngle, 0) 
    --local newCFrame = camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, correctedAngle, 0)

    if correctedAngle ~= 0 then
        camera.CFrame = character:GetPivot() * relativeCFrame
    end```

Controller.Constants.MAX_Y_LOCK and MAX_X_LOCK are basically limiters of 90 degrees in either side. 

But what's happening is, whenever it hits the limit it flips sides

can anyone help please?

[hard garden]

guys

is it good if i dont use local in setting variables?

[thorn arch]

No

[hard garden]

explain

@acoustic fulcrum heres ur answer fr

[thorn arch]

Setting variables or defining?

[acoustic fulcrum]

hm

[thorn arch]

Local is used to define a variable

[hard garden]

defining i mean

[thorn arch]

However once a variable is defined in a scope, it can be set anywhere inside that scope

Without local

[thorn arch]

Yes you need to use local

[hard garden]

what if i dont use local?

i can still define without local tho

im confused why do we need to do it even though we can just define it without "local"

[thorn arch]

Slower

Its slower

[hard garden]

hm?

how?

[acoustic fulcrum]

its only used when 2 vars have same name but one of them its outside and one is inside a function

[thorn arch]

When you don't use local it's stored in a global table

Which is slower to read and write to

And just adds more overhead to your code

[hard garden]

understandable

[acoustic fulcrum]

ooh

[thorn arch]

Also using local makes it more readable

[hard garden]

its like spamming remote events no?

[thorn arch]

Do you know what _G is?

[hard garden]

yes i do

[thorn arch]

It's like putting every variable in _G

[hard garden]

mhm

[thorn arch]

Infact it IS putting everything in _G

[hard garden]

ooh

[thorn arch]

Which is bad practice

[acoustic fulcrum]

ahh

[spiral jungle]

_G game architecture

[thorn arch]

Local also tells the executor which scope the variable is meant to be in

If you don't use local for a variable inside a function

It can have effects on variables outside the function

[hard garden]

mhm

i understand it now

thank you :D

[thorn arch]

Np

[acoustic fulcrum]

i understand too now

i shall use local more often now

[hard garden]

same

[thorn arch]

💀

It's only for defining variables btw

Don't use local when setting them

That would cause more issues

[acoustic fulcrum]

yea ik

it would be like defining more variables

[thorn arch]

Yh

Overwriting the definition

And also will throw errors if u do something like

local object.Parent = workspace

[hard garden]

we know dat

i make mistakes like that before too

😅

thank u for the help btw

[kindred pier]

I am making a Demo Game to get verified , I have made a Custom NPC Module instead of using Built in Dialog, Should i use String Values or Dialogs and DialogChoices for the whole system?

I can make it work with both, but i want to do the one which might look better on application

[rapid eagle]

dialogue system?

mm

for me I write everything in code

!

[kindred pier]

yuh, for npcs, like a chain of msgs and options which trigger certain functions,etc

[verbal igloo]

Who here can help me with my animate code

[wispy jay]

;c I myself am struggling with cframe

[crude quarry]

Imo I like making custom guis and strings gives you more freedom to design then the default dialog option

[rapid eagle]

nest them !

[thorn arch]

Make a dialogue class

With dialog options

[kindred pier]

fr, am just having fun making modules

[kindred pier]

wait, u can make classes in lua?

[thorn arch]

And each dialog option has corresponding response and next dialogue options

[thorn arch]

Yes

Unlike in other languages it won't be as powerful as other classes for example Vector3 or BasePart

But it's still pretty powerful

[kindred pier]

W, I didnt know that 😭

[thorn arch]

You can make a module with the class constructor and some base functions

For example if you named the module "Dialogue"

Dialogue.new(args)

Dialogue.NextOption(arg)

Dialogue.GetResponse(arg)

Just an example of how you could do it

[kindred pier]

Thx :D, Ima try that rn

[remote bear]

[somber vault]

how do u make that box to write the code in

like chatgpt does

[thorn arch]

/ something /

Idk how to show u

[lean ocean]

Mid way

[thorn arch]

Use the backticks

`

1 on each side for a phrase

[somber vault]

Hello

[thorn arch]

3 on each side for a code block

[somber vault]

oh yes

[thorn arch]

And u can put lua after the first 3 backticks and go to the next line for a pretty printed code block

[somber vault]

local rps = game.GetSevice("ReplicatedStorage")

[crude quarry]

Who doesn't know that :sus:```

[somber vault]

why no color?

[thorn arch]

local foo = bar
local function hello()
   print(foo)
end

[thorn arch]

Lua

[somber vault]

where do i change it

to make it lua

[crude quarry]

--Over there
local lol = "Nah"
lol.touched = Policed Called
print("50 years in prison")

[tame compass]

lua

local t = "t"

[crude quarry]

lua? I just put v

[somber vault]

local workspace = game.Workspace

[somber vault]

lua```local function CallPolice()
print("Police Called")
end

howwwww

[crude quarry]

const test = "This is a string"

if (test === "This is a string"){
console.log("lol")
}

hmmm interesting

[somber vault]

Death Note

[tame compass]

ye

[crude quarry]

Now you have to add user input so the user can input the name manually

[tame compass]

I actually did input it manually

[somber vault]

local value = 1

i didi it'

[crude quarry]

ah it looked automatic

[somber vault]

i did it

[tame compass]

idk

maybe check with the tick()

and see for yourself

[lean ocean]

No os.clock

[remote bear]

yeah i used the canvas draw graphics library

[thorn arch]

There's a canva roblox library??? 😭

Or are you using textures

[tame compass]

Why isn't it working

I want the text to be crossed

The Rich Text is enabled

The <del> tag isn't working either

Already found the solution

[crude quarry]

Anyone know what this error is from? I play my test game and no errors but when I return to studio edit it appears. When I click it it doesn't bring me anywhere. Everything works

[spiral jungle]

It looks like one of your studio plugins is erroring

[crude quarry]

ah its probably the UI editor

thanks i'll uninstall it

ah nope it was the helicopter manager plugin

I forgot to add a wait during while true do and my computer died

Sometimes I get so excited for the results I forget to do that stuff

This is why I wanted to learn coding, I used to think coding your own day/night was complicated but
My code

local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")

while true do
    task.wait(0.01)
    Lighting.ClockTime = Lighting.ClockTime + 0.01
end```

**Tool Box**
```lua
-- dayLength defines how long, in minutes, a day in your game is. Feel free to alter it.
local dayLength = 12

local cycleTime = dayLength*60
local minutesInADay = 24*60

local lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")

local startTime = tick() - (lighting:getMinutesAfterMidnight() / minutesInADay)*cycleTime
local endTime = startTime + cycleTime

local timeRatio = minutesInADay / cycleTime

if dayLength == 0 then
    dayLength = 1
end

repeat
    local currentTime = tick()
    
    if currentTime > endTime then
        startTime = endTime
        endTime = startTime + cycleTime

so you do know how to use setmetatable?

?

hm

[verbal vector]

whyd u spell camera with a K

[peak sedge]

idk its a branding thing or sum shit 🥀

most modules i make starts with a k

like mortal kombat

uh no

technically im still learning myself

im js way more far along than u

[peak sedge]

ive made way more

[hallow crag]

thats legit like no difference lmao

aint gonna effect anything

[lament pivot]

wth is up with roblox

parts keep being unanchored

[peak sedge]

no bru im not gna suggest a tut bc i learned on my own without tuts

or teach u

[untold gate]

Is there here a full stack or atleast front-end developer

[peak sedge]

i think i might know somone

[jade tendon]

I am frontend but not the best

[peak sedge]

i think hes looking for the best chat 🥀

[jade tendon]

Ok I am good but it is not my main

[peak sedge]

chat hes looking for a full stack 💔

[untold gate]

its ok

[somber vault]

whats faster cam.CFrame:GetComponents() vs .LookVector

[somber vault]

there is

[sour cape]

does anyone know how to make a global count across all server go up whenever a player get something. like idrk how to make it global

[untold gate]

i have a figma design but i'm frustrated although if i stayed for 8 hours with no distractuin i will

[wispy jay]

why so obsessed with performance? are you making some really cpu intensive game?

[hallow crag]

its not gonna effect anything tho

[hallow crag]

probably never gets games done cause hes to obsessed over peformance

[wispy jay]

I don't wanna be too fast to judge

[peak sedge]

same chat

[peak sedge]

prolly not as good as u though

[wispy jay]

why ask 😦

you doing for money is good

[peak sedge]

chat is this tough

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = PlayerService.LocalPlayer

local SkillBase = {}
SkillBase.__index = SkillBase

SkillBase.NewSkill = function(Code : () -> ())
    local self = setmetatable({}, SkillBase)
    
    if Code and typeof(Code) == "function" then
        self.Code = Code
    end
    
    return self
end

function SkillBase:Play()
    if self.Code then
        self.Code()
    end
end

return SkillBase

LOL

L

[hallow crag]

so u dont find scripting fun?

[peak sedge]

im gud

terribly awsome

[wispy jay]

its very readable

[hallow crag]

💀

scripting is fun ash

[peak sedge]

ong

the funnest

[wispy jay]

I learned to properly code by seeing other ppl's code

[peak sedge]

besides quantum physics theorizing ofc

[hallow crag]

modelling 💔

its dead ash

u can make way more with scripting

skill issue

get better then

and start trying to enjoy it

[peak sedge]

one time i cried tryna understand sum

u can still make bread though

🤑

lol

[night drift]

how do i make it remove 50 health points and not just set it to 50 health ```script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
Hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 50
end
end)

this isnt working

[lament pivot]

[slender yew]

how the FUCK do I prevent stale player variables

[faint rampart]

How do I make a vehicle rank locked so that a player can only use it if there a certain rank in my rp game?

[balmy owl]

you gogle it

[faint rampart]

Ah

Thought this was a server where ppl help

[lament pivot]

when they try to use it, the script should check their rank and if their not the rank then

nothig 🪄

[slender yew]

create an attirbute where u keep track of player ranks in a string/number value, then unsit the player whos rank is below the desired one

[faint rampart]

Alright thanks

Do yall call char as car or as char like charcoal

Car

I think

I don't have audible thoughts so

[elfin timber]

charcoal

[sharp totem]

hey guys how i check if something has a tag when i use hastag it works but if the part doesnt have the tage it will error

[crude quarry]

What tag

I started watching byteblox talk code to me and now I feel like I actually understand lua

[jolly aurora]

@ancient eagle

[thorn arch]

💀

[jade tendon]

local hasTag = CollectionService:HasTag(part, "Tag")

if hasTag then

[sullen glacier]

what function is the replace letters (like when you press the y key it detects as a shift)

[elfin timber]

do people not like him

[crude quarry]

User input using enum function

[thorn arch]

He uh

Spouts the most nonsense of any developer i have ever seen

[elfin timber]

i mean yea i know hes kinda edgy but

[thorn arch]

I have seen a lot of misinformation but

This guy is in his own league

And he's not malicious

I can tell he's just ignorant

[crude quarry]

You only hate him because he uses waitforchild

[thorn arch]

I think you're projecting

[weak radish]

who would hate wait for child

[crude quarry]

I never use it

I need to use it more

Just to make yall mad

local part = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Part")
local model = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Model")

Local playr = game:getService:WaitForChild("Players")```

Perfect

[weak radish]

Why are you waiting for services

[crude quarry]

Why aren't you

[weak radish]

Because they are loaded before the script runs?

[crude quarry]

But it's the services first time they're nervous and need a minute

[weak radish]

get out

[crude quarry]

Just give em a minute 🥺

[fast forge]

Guys im gonna learn Lua. But i have some doubt that , which tutorials should i follow , i dont see any new 2025 Roblox Scripting tutorials , The best once are like 2023-2024
Should i learn by watching those videos ? Like from Youtubers like Devking , Alvin Blox and all ?

Im already a modeler and builder wiith 2 years of exp

[distant echo]

I watched dev king series ro get the basics

[fast forge]

i see

[brittle zodiac]

I'm willing to learn script, does anyone want a disciple? I have a lot of free time and I have discipline, DM me

i think everyone does

[somber vault]

how do you pass a function as a parameter of another function

how does that even work

[silver verge]

you just pass it's reference without calling it

[somber vault]

But like why would someone do that?

[silver verge]

multiple reasons

like the one shown

hooks are the most common reason

[somber vault]

bro got hacked or what

[coarse swan]

friggin tuff

[silver verge]

everytime you do :connect(function), youre passing a function

[coarse swan]

callbacks

any connection to a signal uses that

[acoustic saffron]

its like saying if ts happens, then do ts function 🔥

[somber vault]

what is a hook

[silver verge]

something like bindtorenderstep or game:bindtoclose

[acoustic saffron]

for example,
if remote event is fired, then do ts

[lone marsh]

punch thrown to the side of the opponents head

[somber vault]

how do you even learn this stuff

[lone marsh]

u gotta hoook em up

[silver verge]

read the documentation

[slender peak]

hello

[acoustic saffron]

real

[coarse swan]

read free models

[somber vault]

there's like 6 gazillion pages

[silver verge]

no reason

[acoustic saffron]

watch tutorials

[silver verge]

yeah because its the entire language

[coarse swan]

its how i learned tho

[silver verge]

you read what you use

[mint cloud]

Did u used to have a nerd cat pfp by chance

[coarse swan]

i used to learn from those really shitty roblox exploit requires

it was heat

[silver verge]

yes

[mint cloud]

Generational falloff 💔

[silver verge]

temporary change

[slender peak]

i believe tutorials are the best way to start then like try to understand the code yourself and configure it yourself then if you get stuck just search the solution up and take notes

[mint cloud]

Whew

[acoustic saffron]

same, i tried to learn to exploit but by then byfron was made so ts ts ts ts ts

[silver verge]

matching with 3 other friends

[mint cloud]

💀

[coarse swan]

twinning twin

i used to convert the before FE to serverside

[acoustic saffron]

😛

[somber vault]

ok but why is it needed to make a function to pass to another function to then say function() inside. Like you still write the code so why is it useful? @silver verge

[acoustic saffron]

its not really like a function, imagine it like this: if this happens then do this

[somber vault]

I'm about to get racist

[coarse swan]

cuz its tuff

[glossy wave]

real developers dont use function, they reuse 100 lines of code 5 times... showing their REAL motivation

[acoustic saffron]

if remote event is fired then do -500 money and give player banana

[coarse swan]

correct

[somber vault]

banana up yo ass

[tame compass]

I do that

[acoustic saffron]

real developers don't know what their doing, they use code thats already made by ai or other people

[tame compass]

No

This is a lie

[acoustic saffron]

u gotta a banana in your head brah, its not that hard

[glossy wave]

thats what im saiyng

[coarse swan]

real developers use chatgpt for everything

[steel cosmos]

ive done an animation and it works in studio though it doesn't work when i test it in-game, can anyone help.

[glossy wave]

why bother getting a job if other people are 👀

[acoustic saffron]

💯

[mint cloud]

Sasageyo

[tame compass]

Probably the animation ownership problem

[acoustic saffron]

or code from roblox dev forums

[somber vault]

I'm happy that I will never fall so low like you did

[tame compass]

Do you share the game with other people?
