[nimble cypress]

like gui vs yk basic scripting

#code-help not many ppl know

[wind spindle]

Oh i didn

dind't see that channel

[scenic lotus]

what about the output?

[sly plover]

it says nothing

oh

wait it works now

i just restarted my game

[sly plover]

hope you now your a life saver

[scenic lotus]

I think it doesn't pass if ... then

[thick kelp]

Print the chil var

[wind spindle]

Alright I'll try

[wind spindle]

The "if child:IsA("Tool") or child:IsA("ForceField") then"?

or "if character:FindFirstChild("ForceField") then"

[scenic lotus]

You should try print(child) first

actually, does the spawner give forcefield when spawn or it never give forcefield from the beginning

[wind spindle]

It should give you a forcefield when you spawn

[scenic lotus]

If forcefield duration is 0 then there won't be any forcefield

[worldly sonnet]

so most parts in my game have the 'grid' texture and i feel like its bad for performance, are there any ways i can make it better for performance

[tame compass]

Is this how you make rounds system?

at its core

[scenic lotus]

More parts and unionoperation can make the game laggy. Can use mesh

[iron tundra]

can anybody explain why this dosent work? ```local players = game:GetService("Players")
local badgeservice = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local textlabel = script.Parent
local badgeid = 716343469755606

local function checkforbadge(player)
local success, hasbadge = pcall(function()
return badgeservice:UserHasBadgeAsync(player.UserId, badgeid)
end)
if success and hasbadge then
script.Parent.Text = "yes"
end
end

checkforbadge()```

[wind spindle]

Where are these properties located?

[tame compass]

Teams

[worldly sonnet]

i dont think u can do it on the client

only the server

so you would have to fire a remote event

[wind spindle]

before you say "checkforbadge()" make a line above that and add "local function checkforbadge(player)"

[tame compass]

you didnt give the function a player instance

that's why

[wind spindle]

yea exactly

the function needs a player

[worldly sonnet]

argument missing

[wind spindle]

I meant like, I have the properties tab open, but where are the properties you showed me? like are they in Teams or workspace Spawn Location?

[scenic lotus]

spawn location

[wind spindle]

Oh i see it now

I searched forcefield and it didnt show, had to search duration.

[worldly sonnet]

bro everytime i right click on studio it gives me these

when i hold it down to try and look around

its pissing me off so much

[graceful scarab]

lol

[wind spindle]

Yea bro thats so annoying

[stone garden]

wdym IsA("Tool")???

[copper verge]

We are a commission server so you can't buy or sell stuff here 👍

[keen lynx]

kay

[wind spindle]

So like It's looking to see if the player has a tool in there invertory

invetory

If they have a tool, which will be the gun or weapon, they force field gets destroyed

[stone garden]

the forcefield is beeing remouved by roblox automaticly so why task.wait(10)?

[gloomy leaf]

gummy bears

[hardy pilot]

Who wanted to sell things?

[wind spindle]

Oh wait i meant it's giving a force field to the player and then when it detects a tool it calls to the function "destroyForceField" to destroy it

[wind spindle]

I did wait 10 because it was killing me so i tested if 10 would fix it but it didnt, 1 will be the wait time

[hardy pilot]

What

🤔

[stone garden]

yea but after 10 seconds its remouved by roblox, why remouve it with a script?

[hardy pilot]

[wind spindle]

?

are you talking about roblox's defualt forcefield system?

[hardy pilot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1381197678603538615/1387886985632419890/attachment.gif

[stone garden]

when you spawn, roblox give you a force field and roblox remouve it after 10 seconds, my question is why are you deleting it when roblox already doest it for you?

[wind spindle]

Well before i posted it i didn't that you could easily edit the FF through the spawn locations properties

[uneven turtle]

Best way is to follow scripting tutorials and then make small projects. At the end you will master them at the same time because one needs the other most of the times.

[sly plover]

how to fix this

[glad apex]

Fix the modulescript

[stone garden]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-ishowspeed-gif-1290931606264393136

[autumn falcon]

Your module script is having an error

[sly plover]

but how do i fix this

[autumn falcon]

Idk that’s not enough information

Why don’t you just copy paste the code into chatgpt

Also this is for discussion of code not for helping with code. If you want help debugging then you should go to #code-help

[glad apex]

I think code help is a bit off topic rn

[tulip quiver]

Cause he wants to learn

[autumn falcon]

That’s exactly how you learn

Besides debugging isn’t learning lol

[tulip quiver]

chat gpt js be spouting nonsense

[tulip quiver]

It instantly writing the code makes u learn so much

[autumn falcon]

He’s looking to just fix some silly error rq, not write a new code.

[somber vault]

how does games that have more than 1 experience (say blox fruits for example) transfer the same data between the experiences

[thorn arch]

There's a service for thT

[somber vault]

which one?

[gloomy trench]

data store

service!

[somber vault]

that only works for the currect experience?

I'm using it for my experience

[gloomy trench]

every place instances

[somber vault]

but i don't think it shares the data

then supposedly i just call the datastore like how i normally would in the new experience, right? (with the same name)

[glad apex]

Ye

[somber vault]

alright! trying that out

much appreciated!

[sly plover]

who can help me fix this

[soft shoal]

unrelated question - how much would you guys personally pay for a fully built and working, ready to use landing page which acctually looks good.

[somber vault]

put .Value in profile.Data.Units[chosenUnit]

[patent gorge]

Hey guys i need help yk how like games in line games where players move from one tile to another how do i do that but i lock the player's ability to move because when using :moveTo i would need to make the players walkspeed back to 16 then but when i do that i give the player ability to move using their keyboard/joystick os how do i use the :moveto but stop the player from using their movement

[somber vault]

Humanoid:MoveTo(RootPart.Position)
plr.DevComputerMovementMode = Enum.DevComputerMovementMode.Scriptable
plr.DevTouchMovementMode = Enum.DevTouchMovementMode.Scriptable

to enable control again :
plr.DevComputerMovementMode = Enum.DevComputerMovementMode.UserChoice
plr.DevTouchMovementMode = Enum.DevTouchMovementMode.UserChoice

[patent gorge]

just this? do i need to add anything? ive never used this input before

[somber vault]

other than making variables for plr, Humanoid, etc no

[patent gorge]

alright thank you so much ill try it out

[somber vault]

anytime! i'll be waiting to hear the result

[somber vault]

i use it personally in my treasure capture system

along with freezing the RP but you wouldn't need that

[patent gorge]

oo nice so basically what it does it allows the character to move but doesnt take the player input?

would that mean i won't need to put the walkspeed back to 0?

[somber vault]

you won't need to change the speed

but it also makes you not able to jump

[patent gorge]

ooo thats good i wanted it like that

thanks you it works!

[somber vault]

anytime, if you need any help mention me and i'll do my best to help

[oak verge]

means theres no Profile index in the dataManager

[nimble cypress]

ty

[teal dawn]

anybody know why this happens (ive switched from windows 10 to windows 11)

[solid rain]

have you tried reinstalling roblox studio

[teal dawn]

doin that rn

but the werid thing is thats the only game

[stone garden]

real one lisen to lil tecca 🔥

[stone garden]

low internet, dont worry man

[teal dawn]

then why do other things open but not that?

[solid rain]

its most likely going to fix your problem

by reinstalling

[teal dawn]

alright

[solid rain]

something has gotten corrupted

[teal dawn]

most likely cause ive deleted alot from my downloads

[solid rain]

Oh now that I take a closer look at it that could also be a problem

idk how you managed to do that though

[teal dawn]

i was clearing up storage

and mass deleting things

that had no meaning

[solid rain]

do you code with github

and visual studio code

[teal dawn]

yeah

[solid rain]

i think thats the problem

[teal dawn]

oh it loaded a little but then died

[solid rain]

if you can makke the same path

and make the same file name

with hopes and dreams it should hopefully work

[teal dawn]

alrighty

nope thats not the problem

[patent sonnet]

Squid game

[quaint furnace]

boys i need to ask smth about datastore, if i fail to load data on entry (maybe table of items) and i save on playerleaving will it overwrite my previous inventory to basically nothing?

[stuck egret]

can somebody help when u click a part the game will remove item from your inventory

i didint understand what am i doing wrong

im kinda new to scripting

[cedar flicker]

Could be in your charachter already

Its only in your backpack if you dont have it equipped

[teal dawn]

yeah check if its in the character first then player

[stuck egret]

okay

[teal dawn]

instead of click its i think the player who clicked it

[stone garden]

(localplayer) is not a good syntax

[teal dawn]

yeah if its failed/empty it will just overwrite the old data with the new

[drifting agate]

the connected function parameter click is actually the player i think,
it would just be

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
  if player then
    --destroy keycard
  end
end)

[quaint furnace]

oh my god soooo scaryyyy

[stuck egret]

so like this?

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
if plr then
local Keycard = plr.Backpack.Tool
if Keycard then
Keycard:Destroy()
end
end
end)

[drifting agate]

yeah it should work

[drifting agate]

is there a way to prevent saving nil or just add like an if statement for those values to not save them if they = nil

[teal dawn]

yeah use a if statement

[drifting agate]

alr well updateasync is a little better at least it prevents overwriting, just doesnt prevent writing nil

[teal dawn]

yeah, it just throws an error instead

or you could go through mnaually a table, if something is null just skip interly

[stuck egret]

nah it didint worked

[drifting agate]

did it error

[stuck egret]

no

[somber vault]

what's your issue

i might be able to help

[stuck egret]

@somber vault

[somber vault]

is the tool equipped when you remove it?

[drifting agate]

just try this and see what it prints

    print("clicked")
    if plr then
        print("player exists")
        local Keycard = plr.Backpack.Tool
        if Keycard then
            print("keycard exists")
            Keycard:Destroy()
            print("keycard destroyed")
        end
    end
end)

[drifting agate]

oh yeah then you would have to do player.character.Tool

[somber vault]

exactly

[stuck egret]

ohhh wait

i found the problem

[somber vault]

what was it

[stuck egret]

the code was in a localscript

[drifting agate]

would it not still work

[stuck egret]

its working fine now

thx for helping

[somber vault]

I'll do better next time

[drifting agate]

wait why doesnt it work on localscript

[stuck egret]

idk

i changed it to normal script

[drifting agate]

you can change that now

they updated it

[somber vault]

oh

my bad

[drifting agate]

run context

i saw it somewhere

[stuck egret]

i understand it now why i have to use normal script instead of local but its hard to explain

[drifting agate]

but u have to set it manually

default is server

[somber vault]

it works in local?

game.Workspace.Part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
print("Clicked")
end)

[somber vault]

that's the whole code

[stuck egret]

yh but can u delete a item from your inventory?

[somber vault]

lemme try

[drifting agate]

i dont know why my studio doesnt have it but it looks like this

under script properties

oh wait u have to make a normal script

and then set the run context to client

[somber vault]

it does work

uploading a vid

[drifting agate]

where did u put the script under

[somber vault]

StarterCharacterScripts

it doesn't work under the part though

[somber vault]

probably they removed it again in the new update?

[drifting agate]

i figured it out

local scripts run automatically inside starterplayer and startercharacter

but if u put it under a part or something it doesnt run

[patent gorge]

            local hum = char and char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
            local root = char and char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

            if hum and root then
                local colorStr = tostring(survivorChoiceValue.Value)

                for _, spot in ipairs(workspace.Spots:GetChildren()) do
                    if spot:IsA("BasePart") and spot.Name == colorStr .. "Spot" then
                        hum:MoveTo(spot.Position)
                        hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()

                        local finalCFrame = CFrame.new(spot.Position + Vector3.new(0, 2, 0)) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
                        char:PivotTo(finalCFrame)

                        print(currentSurvivor.Name .. " walked to " .. colorStr)
                    end
                end
            end

is there a reason why there is like a little delay before the move is done

[drifting agate]

u can instead create a normal script

[somber vault]

and GUIs as well

[drifting agate]

and then set the runcontext to client

and itll run

[drifting agate]

yes

[somber vault]

hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()

[drifting agate]

i dont know why u cant set the run context on local scripts

[patent gorge]

yea but before that it doesn't even move it js waits then immediately does the pivot

[somber vault]

i don't see anything that delays the script but i'll try doing a modification

local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local root = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

        if hum and root then
            local colorStr = tostring(survivorChoiceValue.Value)

            for _, spot in pairs(workspace.Spots:GetChildren()) do
                if spot:IsA("BasePart") and spot.Name == colorStr .. "Spot" then
                    hum:MoveTo(spot.Position)
                    hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()

                    local finalCFrame = CFrame.new(spot.Position + Vector3.new(0, 2, 0)) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
                    char:PivotTo(finalCFrame)

                    print(currentSurvivor.Name .. " walked to " .. colorStr)
                end
            end
        end

[somber vault]

give this a shot

[patent gorge]

still does the same and it does'nt seem to be running a moveto

but ill have to check if i had paused the walkspeed

[somber vault]

good idea

[drifting agate]

print spot.position everytime and if its changing properly then the problem is with ur humanoid

[north kiln]

Wdym

[somber vault]

even if it's static the humanoid should respond

unless the spot's position is the same as the player's

[patent gorge]

yea it was because i forgot to change the walkspeed

anyways thank you!

[somber vault]

nice catch!

[somber vault]

don't thank me, i did nothing

[patent gorge]

you did try to help and it did take you time so you deserve one!

[patent gorge]

thank you too!

[somber vault]

i really appreciate it man! just doing what i love.

[drifting agate]

np

[somber vault]

for some reason it doesn't work for me

[drifting agate]

maybe has to be subplaces

[somber vault]

it doesn't send the data that i have but rather sends a completely new one

[somber vault]

it is. if i created it correctly

[drifting agate]

wdym send

[somber vault]

I'm building a round based game that requires the players to be teleported to another experience

i'm trying to send the data from the main experience to the round experience

[teal quiver]

not place?

[drifting agate]

couldnt you just use getasync

[somber vault]

doesn't work

[drifting agate]

whattt it should work as long as its under one experience

[somber vault]

no, experiences

[teal quiver]

you could transfer those specific players' data with TeleportService probably

[somber vault]

okay, i'll go over how i create sub-experiences

[teal quiver]

or whatever it was called

[somber vault]

no

[teal quiver]

?

[somber vault]

that's for teleporting players themselves

not values

[teal quiver]

you can send values as well

[little pebble]

ANY PRO SCRIPTERS HELLO

[somber vault]

hmm, i might try something

[drifting agate]

is that launchdata or is that something different

[somber vault]

i won't consider myself pro but if you have an issue go ahead and send it

[tired rampart]

Lf scripter company

[teal quiver]

my idea right now is to use TeleportService:TeleportAsync and send a table with the players' userids that contain their data

[teal quiver]

-- Server
local teleportOptions = Instance.new("TeleportOptions")
local teleportData = {
    -- table with key/value pairs of userids and their data
}
teleportOptions:SetTeleportData(teleportData)
TeleportService:TeleportAsync(game.PlaceId, {player}, teleportOptions)

i modified this code slighly from the roblox documentation

dont mind that it is called {player} i forgot to change that

that could be an array of the players you want to send

[somber vault]

i found a solution

[teal quiver]

?

[somber vault]

--game 1 server script
game:GetService("TeleportService"):Teleport(GAME_ID, plr, TABLE)

--game 2 local script

local TS = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local plrdata = TS:GetLocalPlayerTeleportData()

local ValuesData = plrdata.Value

--fire the value

[teal quiver]

isnt that easily exploitable though

im assuming you are firing the value to the server from the localscript

@somber vault

[somber vault]

indeed, but i don't think they'll be able to find the values names except if an error message popped up

and i can cover that

[teal quiver]

still risky probably

just handle it from the server

the entire process

[crimson plank]

Guys

I learnt like all of the basic stuff for lua

How do I now go onto writing full frameworks in a good manner

Or just overall improving the quality

[somber vault]

but how am i going to catch the data

if it's only for client

[crimson plank]

Vaaseo mind guiding me pls?

[somber vault]

okay so, all i have to say is start with simple stuff

such as flag capturing system, etc

once you're done with that level it up a notch

by making a level system for example

[teal quiver]

pretty sure you can do Player:GetJoinData().TeleportData

from the server

[crimson plank]

Well I can do all those

It’s just I can’t write good quality of code

Like my code seems makeshifts

And less optimised

Wanna improve on that

[drifting agate]

organize everything into module scripts

[crimson plank]

Any specific code structure the pros follow?

[drifting agate]

some ppl write all their code in module scripts and then just have one server script and one local script thats initiates those modules

[somber vault]

i personally use module scripts for repetitive functions.

[drifting agate]

or you can organize you code into modules in replicated storage, organize ur server scripts into serverscriptservice, and then organize local scripts in starter player and have the bulk of ur code in modules

[crimson plank]

I see

And about code optimisation do u need to learn use of actors?

@drifting agate @somber vault

[hexed zinc]

under certain scenarios they are useful

[drifting agate]

wdym by optimization like fps wise?

[somber vault]

i don't use it

[crimson plank]

Like writhing best quality of code

So that includes decreasing loops

And heavy load functions

[hexed zinc]

send an example of your code so people can point out areas that could be improved

[crimson plank]

Alr could u like give me some small easy task?

[drifting agate]

u can make ur code as modular as possible, that increases its quality

[crimson plank]

Mhm

[drifting agate]

just send something you wrote previously

[hexed zinc]

if your code performs heavyish computation that'd benefit from getting split into multiple parallel scripts then you'd benefit
can probably avoid it in most cases, as you'd only want to use it whwen the speed benefits outweighs the increased overhead

[crimson plank]

Also do I use Roblox scripting system? Or do I use rust and shit

[crimson plank]

Mhm

[teal quiver]

i have to admit idk if this is 100% exploit proof tho

[crimson plank]

Soon u might not wanna worry

About exploits

A new script is coming

[somber vault]

nothing is 100% exploit proof

yet

[lone marsh]

what we ta;=lking abt

[crimson plank]

Helping me get better at scripting

[somber vault]

giving optimization tips mostly

[crimson plank]

Yuh

Does using a shit ton of ray cast cause performance issues?

[teal quiver]

yeah but my opinion is that you should do it from the server

[somber vault]

how ton are we talking

[somber vault]

and of course their result cause performance issues

if they're too many

[crimson plank]

Mhm

[somber vault]

because in the end

they do execute a code if hit

[crimson plank]

How do u go about making a climbing system then?

[somber vault]

i use a loop which is even worse

[crimson plank]

Oh yuh using run service would be better

[somber vault]

i will show you a hitbox code of mine

that is similar to climbing

[crimson plank]

Alr bet

[somber vault]

task.spawn(function()
local con
con = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
if StopIT == false then
local hitbox = game.Workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(base.CFrame, Vector3.new(8, 8, 20))
for _, char in pairs(hitbox) do
if SCRH.IsAPartOfChar(char) and not Climbing[SCRH.IsAPartOfChar(char)] then
Climbing[SCRH.IsAPartOfChar(char)] = true
if SCRH.IsAPartOfChar(char):FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
--do the rest of the code
end
end
end
else
con:Disconnect()
con = nil
return
end
end)
end)

[hexed zinc]

why task.spawn

[gloomy trench]

guys is there a way to SYNC roblox studio scripts into rojo

[somber vault]

it's a part of a whole entire movest system so i use this to not inflict with the rest of the code

[hexed zinc]

wdym not inflict it

[lone marsh]

rojo settings

two way sync (experimental)

[somber vault]

the system has loops, etc. so i set every loop inside of a task.spawn to not delay/inflict with the other loop

even though runservice doesn't need one but i just put it there

forgot to remove it

[crimson plank]

Btw rojo better than Roblox scripting?

[hexed zinc]

i guess

id say thats probably not an ideal code structure though

[crimson plank]

What are the advantage’s

[somber vault]

indeed, it was old

[hexed zinc]

depends

[crimson plank]

Hm

[stiff ibex]

hi chat

[hexed zinc]

boils down to whether you like it more or not lol

[hexed zinc]

external editors generally have better plugins and support tools like darklua etc

[lone marsh]

dependson the developer

[somber vault]

roblox supports VSC now

officially, i dunno if it's still beta or not

[hexed zinc]

what like an official integration plugin or somethin

[lone marsh]

since when

[hexed zinc]

havent seen that

[somber vault]

a few weeks back or a month i guess

lemme find it

[gloomy trench]

alright ill see

[somber vault]

found out how, we're talking about syncing roblox studio script to VSC right?

[gloomy trench]

another one automatically cloning studio scripts instances into rojo

im lazy

[somber vault]

right click a script, select Sync to Disk...

rename the script to whatever you like

start modifying on VSC, the changes will be applied to roblox and vice versa, the script should have arrows like this

@hexed zinc

[hexed zinc]

ah yea

thats interesting

[lone marsh]

oh u mean sending every studio code to rojo

[gloomy trench]

yeah

[hexed zinc]

rojo has a two way sync option

[gloomy trench]

is it possible

[hexed zinc]

tho its supposedly experimental

[lone marsh]

theres a rblxtorojo exe linked in the rojo documentation

[gloomy trench]

hmmm

[hexed zinc]

how does it handle nested scripts

[lone marsh]

ye im sticking to rojo 😭

[somber vault]

i don't use it to be honest, i just know it exists

just applied it now for showcase

[crimson plank]

Thnx for help all

[somber vault]

and there are these options when syncing

[lone marsh]

u gotta do each script manually?

[somber vault]

yeah.

[lone marsh]

damn that would be annoying

[gloomy trench]

cant believe i turned this chat into rojo

[somber vault]

or you can select multiple scripts but it will save them

[lone marsh]

ah

[somber vault]

i just knew it

like right now ;-;

me when i had 3 month experience and tried to sync rojo to game and did so badly

never organize your codes like this

stash all into a folder

[somber vault]

my old game's organization

i was terrible at organizing

and i don't want to even mention the replicated storage

ABSLOUTE MESS

thank god that i started a new project and learned to organize my stuff a while ago

[somber vault]

that was like 1.5 years ago or something, back when i started my first actual project instead of messing around

[potent maple]

Hello guys, since I'm new to scripting (I only know basics) I have question. I started from tycoon to learn smth new and improve skills. Should I put script inside each button (when pressed it will buy droppers etc) ?

[scenic lotus]

no

[somber vault]

preferably make a server script that controls all buttons

better, optimized, easy to modify

[scenic lotus]

Make 1 script that controls all buttons and put it in ServerServiceScript

[potent maple]

Okay, so basically put IntValue inside each button (for price) and control everything in ServerScriptService ?

[somber vault]

you can just set each price inside of the script as a variable

[scenic lotus]

can be like that

or use table to set price

[somber vault]

but you can also do that

[potent maple]

I can put prices in module script and then use require in serverscript, right?

[somber vault]

yep

would be better

and more organized as well

[potent maple]

and buttons order in module script too?

[somber vault]

yep

even though you can as well put it in the server script but you can put it in the module as well

[potent maple]

I think module is better, because it's gonna take space in serverscript

[somber vault]

a general tip, try to reduce as much instances in your game as you can

[potent maple]

module looks more ogranized

[somber vault]

you're absolutely correct

[static coral]

you can run your entire game with just modules and then 1 script to initialize them

[somber vault]

like. any useless part you can make it only render when your camera is facing it. etc

[static coral]

there is already occlusion culling

[somber vault]

yeah but i think multiple modules for multiple purposes

[somber vault]

they released it?!

[static coral]

yes obv

[static coral]

i believe so yes

[somber vault]

SINCE WHEN

[scenic lotus]

If there're many game initialize modules then can use module loader for the intialize one

[static coral]

a few months ago if i am not mistaken

[tired rampart]

need a scripter for a company dm

[static coral]

just loop through the modules and require them and make initialize function for each of them

[scenic lotus]

ye

[somber vault]

oh i didn't enable it

[potent maple]

Okay, another question. If I have more than two plots, how can I check which tycoon the player is trying to buy something from, and then clone the item from the correct plot in ServerStorage?

I can make different scripts as well, but it's easier to control everything in one script ig

[somber vault]

you can get the parent of the touched tycoon part and then clone the stuff there

[scenic lotus]

Need to use some value to tell which owner of that plot or can just use team (like blue team, red team, etc . . .)

[somber vault]

you're talking about the property part or the tycoon part itself

[potent maple]

What if I make folder inside workspace and put string values there for each plot and then just check from which plot function is called?

[potent maple]

tycoon part

[somber vault]

would cause performance issue

[potent maple]

make teams then?

[somber vault]

teams would be great yeah

and you can also check the touched part's parent from the server and submit that character as the owner

in a table

and make sure that a table called HasOwnedATycoon[character] ~= true or something

or you can use the first table and make a condition stating that the character must not be listed already

[quick jolt]

Guys, how much robux should A scripter get if he scripted a game very very similar to grow a garden, like almost the same thing

And the scripts are very very good

[potent maple]

local plot = game.Workspace.Plots.Capuchino
local claimPart = plot.Entrance.ClaimCapuchino
local owner = plot.Owner
local capuchinoTycoonStorage = game.ServerStorage.Capuchino

local debounce = false

claimPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if debounce then return end
    debounce = true
    
    local character = hit.Parent
    if not character then debounce = false return end
    
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
    if not player then debounce = false return end
    
    if owner.Value ~= "" then
        warn("Capuchino Tycoon already claimed")
        return
    end
    
    owner.Value = player.Name
    print("Tycoon was claimed by", player)
    
    local capuchinoTeam = game.Teams.CapuchinoTeam
    if player.Name == owner.Value then
        player.Team = capuchinoTeam
    end
    
    local firstConveyor = capuchinoTycoonStorage.Buttons.Conveyor
    firstConveyor.Parent = plot.FirstFloor
end)

Why it's not assigning team?

[somber vault]

back

[gloomy trench]

i feel like zim

[somber vault]

what is Owner

what type of value

object, string?

[potent maple]

string

[somber vault]

btw that statement is useless

if player.Name == owner.Value then
    player.Team = capuchinoTeam
end

because the script will return if the owner isn't nil

and 1 major issue

[somber vault]

is that hit.parent could be ANYTHING

i'll give you a module script i made to check if it's an actual character or not

local module = {}

function module.IsAPartOfSpecificChar(part, char)
local parent = part.Parent

while parent and parent.Parent do
    if parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and parent == char then
        return parent
    end
    parent = parent.Parent
end

return false

end

function module.IsAPartOfChar(part)
local parent = part.Parent

while parent and parent.Parent do
    if parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and parent:GetAttribute("Player") == true then
        return parent
    end
    parent = parent.Parent
end

return false

end

return module

try it with these changes and let's hope that your problem gets fixed, as my prime suspect is the game considering any part with a parent an owner

[unborn sable]

how do ya'll learn how to script so well

swear tutorials ain't helping

[coral field]

practice

[unborn sable]

how long did it take ya'll to become fluent?

[slender yew]

I have an item that I want to place inside of a box, but I have to open the box so that the prompt to hide the item shows up
currently I need a way to turn on the UI after the box is opened and the player has the item, if the player opens the box and THEN gets the item, the ui doesnt enable because the script to enable it only runs when you open/close the box

I need a way to constantly check if the player has that item and if the box is opened.

[somber vault]

i'm sorry but i don't quite get it, can you explain it in more details?

[somber vault]

time.

[summer matrix]

yo

[somber vault]

you need time and patience

[summer matrix]

can anyone help me make abilities

[somber vault]

hello there sir

[summer matrix]

hello there

[somber vault]

yeah of course

tell me what do you want to make

[summer matrix]

tysm man

[somber vault]

<3 anytime!

[summer matrix]

just simple abilities i dont want complex can i tell u in dms?

[somber vault]

sure

[summer matrix]

alright

[potent maple]

it returns end if it's not

[somber vault]

i just noticed it, you can also try removing this statement and adding a print

see if it changed

[potent maple]

it prints, but team not assigning

[somber vault]

server script yes?

[gloomy trench]

7 months

[potent maple]

ye

[gloomy trench]

i find it easier to learn other coding languages thanks to lua

[hearty olive]

Can you do print() in a module script right?

[potent maple]

If I try to use player.Team = game.Teams["CapuchinoTeam"] it's assigning this team on join

[somber vault]

without the variable?

[somber vault]

no your computer will crash and you'll have to reinstall os

[hearty olive]

stop typing to me

[potent maple]

local plot = game.Workspace.Plots.Capuchino
local claimPart = plot.Entrance.ClaimCapuchino
local owner = plot.Owner
local capuchinoTycoonStorage = game.ServerStorage.Capuchino

local debounce = false

claimPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if debounce then return end
    debounce = true
    
    local character = hit.Parent
    if not character then debounce = false return end
    
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
    if not player then debounce = false return end
    
    if owner.Value ~= "" then
        warn("Capuchino Tycoon already claimed")
        return
    end
    
    owner.Value = player.Name
    print("Tycoon was claimed by", player)
    
    player.Team = game.Teams["CapuchinoTeam"]
    print("Team assigned")
    
    local firstConveyor = capuchinoTycoonStorage.Buttons.Conveyor
    firstConveyor.Parent = plot.FirstFloor
end)

[somber vault]

upon join yes?

[potent maple]

ye

[somber vault]

local character = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

[potent maple]

still assigning team on join

[somber vault]

okay, i'll try to replicate that effect on my game

[sly plover]

what is the problem

[vocal trail]

rename DataManager2 to DataManager in the explorer maybe 😨

[proper edge]

are the DataManager and DataManager2 requiring eachother?

if so then thats your problem

they're requiring recursively

[hearty olive]

Chat I just found the answer horray

[potent maple]

so?

[sly plover]

where do you see the other dataManager 2

[proper edge]

in your output

[sly plover]

so what did you say i should do

[verbal lodge]

anyone got some cool suggestions for features i should add to a security discord bot?

or features i should attempt to add

[proper edge]

can you show the top of the output?

the errors are usually above

[nova yarrow]

how do people learn to make stuff with alot of math like A* or Terrain Gen, i usually just copy other examples or code in diff langs and implement it in luau

[sly plover]

here you go

[proper edge]

theres ur error bro

[sly plover]

yeah thanks

im new so still learning thanks for hgelping

[nova yarrow]

add colon

[sly plover]

yeah just did thanks

[somber vault]

just delete everything and restart at this point

[gray minnow]

does anybody remember the function that generates random characters?

[sly plover]

?

[somber vault]

there's a f*cking red line wdym ?

[sly plover]

yeah but then you fix the problem not restart??

[somber vault]

I suggest learning the basics first

[sly plover]

yeah i understand that but i like learning while making a game

[somber vault]

very bad idea

learn theory and practice then you actually know how to make games

[sly plover]

mby but then il have fun while i do it and besides the game im making is just for fun

[potent maple]

local plot = game.Workspace.Plots.Capuchino
local claimPart = plot.Entrance.ClaimCapuchino
local owner = plot.Owner
local capuchinoTycoonStorage = game.ServerStorage.Capuchino

local debounce = false

claimPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if debounce then return end
    debounce = true
    
    local character = hit.Parent
    if not character then debounce = false return end
    
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
    if not player then debounce = false return end
    
    if owner.Value ~= "" then
        warn("Capuchino Tycoon already claimed")
        return
    end
    
    owner.Value = player.Name
    print("Tycoon was claimed by", player)
    
    player.Team = game.Teams["CapuchinoTeam"]
    print("Team assigned")
    
    local firstConveyor = capuchinoTycoonStorage.Buttons.Conveyor
    firstConveyor.Parent = plot.FirstFloor
end)

Why it's assigning CapuchinoTeam on player join?

[stone garden]

helping you would result in another brainrot game published 🥀

[lone marsh]

yes

[sullen fox]

Math.random

Or weighted chance tables

Either work

[somber vault]

There is probably another script assigning the team on join

[sullen fox]

U don’t actually check if hit.parent is a character

Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“HumanoidRootPart”) I think i havent used it in a while

[potent maple]

accept it that roblox filled with kids

[potent maple]

nah, there's no other scripts that assigning team

[somber vault]

Not like the frontpage contains 95% brainrot games already

[stone garden]

alr imm help you

[stone garden]

debounce is never set to false

[somber vault]

your character variable is hit.Parent

[stone garden]

claimPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if debounce then return end
debounce = true

local character = hit.Parent
if not character then debounce = false return end

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if not player then debounce = false return end

if owner.Value ~= "" then
    warn("Capuchino Tycoon already claimed")
    debounce = false -- don't forget this
    return
end

owner.Value = player.Name
print("Tycoon was claimed by", player)

player.Team = game.Teams["CapuchinoTeam"]
print("Team assigned")

local firstConveyor = capuchinoTycoonStorage.Buttons.Conveyor
firstConveyor.Parent = plot.FirstFloor

debounce = false 

end)

[somber vault]

thats not it

[stone garden]

it is

[somber vault]

hit.Parent can be literally anything

so the if statement doesnt do anything

[potent maple]

it returns end if it's not character

[somber vault]

dude

[stone garden]

try the code i gave you

[somber vault]

just because you named the variable "character" doesnt mean its always going to be a character

what youre doing is

[stone garden]

alr then add this lil piece of code for verification if not hit.Parent:FindFurstChild("Humanoid") then return end

[somber vault]

if hit.Parent doesnt exist then return end

so if a part touched it

[stone garden]

imma touch you instead

[somber vault]

hit.Parent could be workspace which isnt nil

[stone garden]

no bro anchored parts cant touch eachother

[somber vault]

im just saying

that character variable should be fixed

[stone garden]

i gave the solution here

[spark notch]

Guys how much should the charge be to fix a knife that has been made entirely in local script s

[somber vault]

5 sand dollars

[spark estuary]

[sly plover]

why is my local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
not blue like the tutorial im following

[spark estuary]

tutorial had an older version of studio

probably

[sly plover]

oh

[spark estuary]

because there is a shortcut for game.Workspace - "workspace" and before it was "Workspace"

[sly plover]

oh

[sly plover]

in the tutorial after ive done that code i just send a picture of goes into lighting but i cant see the blur do you know why?

[spark estuary]

you have to add it yourself

[wild fjord]

:3

[little pebble]

any actual GOOD scripters

that knows what theyre doing

[sly plover]

okay but he's is called blur mine is called blur effect does it make a difference?

[spark estuary]

no

[sly plover]

okay good

[somber vault]

I need someone to make me a minecraft clone game

Or someone who can script the minecarts so it works like how it do in minecraft

[somber vault]

Minekanft

[somber vault]

i already have that made

one of my many projects was a minecraft-like game

@potent maple i'm really sorry for the delay

i tried it and it worked

[somber vault]

Np brother take your time

local plot = game.Workspace.Plots.Capuchino
local claimPart = plot.Entrance.ClaimCapuchino
local owner = plot.Owner
--local capuchinoTycoonStorage = game.ServerStorage.Capuchino

local debounce = false

claimPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if debounce then return end
debounce = true

local character = hit.Parent
if not character then debounce = false return end

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if not player then debounce = false return end

if owner.Value ~= "" then
    warn("Capuchino Tycoon already claimed")
    return
end

owner.Value = player.Name
print("Tycoon was claimed by", player)

player.Team = game.Teams["CapuchinoTeam"]
print("Team assigned")

--local firstConveyor = capuchinoTycoonStorage.Buttons.Conveyor
--firstConveyor.Parent = plot.FirstFloor

end)

[somber vault]

did you set the CapuchinoTeam to auto-assignable?

[somber vault]

his script checks if that "character" has a player

so it's actually valid

[somber vault]

nothing

[spark notch]

It's like 500 lines of code

[somber vault]

has an M1 system?

[spark notch]

Throw an d everythign main problem is it's completely local so others can't see it

[somber vault]

ik what client side is ;-;

[spark notch]

so how much

[somber vault]

it is actually NOT diffcult at all

[spark notch]

Would have to connect everything

[somber vault]

i can use 1-2 remote events and that's it

[spark notch]

how much u think

[somber vault]

animation in local

damage in server

welding + cloning + movement in server as well

[somber vault]

free

[spark notch]

Aight can u do it for me

[somber vault]

as the work is already done. you just gotta transfer it and change the only client variables if there's any

sure. dm

[somber vault]

as i said before, you can say what you want or make a scripter-hiring request

The problem was that I had another team called unclaimed that was autoassignable

just make your own datastore

profilestore just bloat

and that snippet alone looks like a crime against humanity

[stone garden]

i m making a huge modular one for all my games

[static coral]

why huge

[stone garden]

handles everything

i also have a Channel Module that i made that redifines all communications

[static coral]

wtf

[static coral]

i have my own which handles most things (i just need to add more ordered datastore support) and its only 360 lines

[stone garden]

whats so chocking? is it because its stupid?

[static coral]

yeah

seems kind of bloated

and maybe pointless

its not that deep to make chat system

unless you are adding some new functionalities and channels and stuff

[stone garden]

i do alot of verification client, server, i just have to require the module and check, the modules returns a callback itself, saves time

i m not making a remoteEvent everytime i do somthing

[sudden bramble]

?

[stone garden]

thats how i fire it, with only one function and no stress

[static coral]

oh wait you mean communication as in remotes?

[stone garden]

yea, i can fire anything without making alot of remotes for nothing

[static coral]

ohhh yes i understand

[stone garden]

can it returns a callback

[static coral]

i thought u meant chat system

[stone garden]

let me give you an example

[stone garden]

lol haha no

[static coral]

no i understand now

[static coral]

yeah i have similiar project

[digital canopy]

just use dss you dumbass

[stone garden]

this is bindableEvent

[stone garden]

i can give it to you, its made with love, i even put a documentation and a tutorial on

[static coral]

nah im good

i dont like using other people’s modules

[stone garden]

its 250 lines and readable

[static coral]

still

i dont want to use someone else’s code

i kid you not i have literally never used a free module/toolbox module

i have only looked at their source code for curiosity

[stone garden]

same, its scary

i m making a build battle game and my only local script is this

handle all my game

still working on it

[compact spoke]

i'm willing to put up with the bloat to avoid technical debt on my end and spending too much time focusing on things that are redundant

it's scary to use somebody else's code but it's scarier to write it yourself and have that burden be put 100% on you

especially when it comes to things that aren't as cut-and-dry

[static coral]

its better to have a burden on yourself once than to use some skidded shit that runs terribly and is horribly bloated with a bunch of bullshit

or code that is completely illegible that cannot be maintained

have u seen some of these signal modules

[stone garden]

thats why i program in OOP

[static coral]

they are tryna compete with assembly legibility or some shit

[compact spoke]

that's a good example actually because most signal modules are pointless imo

[static coral]

they are not pointless but a lot of them are just made horribly

[verbal lodge]

hey could I test out that project?

[static coral]

custom signals are actually faster and have better support than roblox signals

way better than having bindable event

[compact spoke]

@static coral they have their use cases but i find myself trying to steer away for two main reasons

1. they're usually bloated
2. there's 1,000 of them

[static coral]

thats why i made my own

[compact spoke]

the bloat is usually justified in the case of signal modules becuase they're always going to be faster than a bindable

but the latter is what kills it for me

like, go to the devforum and ctrl + f "signal" and you'll find probably over 2 dozen modules all claiming to be the fastest

and all of their benchmarks are against other different signal modules

[somber vault]

i'll be DM'ing you tomorrow about the project

[static coral]

yeah i think some of these signal modules might be more sped than skid

[compact spoke]

for me one of the only projects that i use extensively is bytenet for networking just becuase i like it, i know how it works, and i've been using it for a while

[unborn sable]

looking to create a game with somebody.

[static coral]

alr

i literally have an entire game that is just a library for the modules i made for myself

whenever i make new project i can just paste all of them in

[compact spoke]

i mostly tend to do the same thing but in the end i usually just chop half of it out anyways

usually because i'm just not using most of it

and it's burning a hole in either serverscriptservice or repstorage

[static coral]

i just put the necessary things

i do some strange things so i often need unique functions or just weird shit in general so im always busy making utilities for myself

local Player = {}
Player.__index = Player

function Player.new(name)
local self = setmetatable({},Player)
self.name = name
self.score = 0
return self
end

function Player:incrementScore()
self.score += 1
end

local p1 = Player.new("Alex")
p1:incrementScore()
print(p1.name, p1.score)
I dont understand what player.__index = Player does

[tacit swift]

wsp?

ok?

[crimson plank]

could u explain?

[tacit swift]

It assigns the table Player to the key index inside the Player table.

So after this line, Player.index refers to the Player table itself.

[crimson plank]

so assigns a player to player table?

[nova yarrow]

It lets a table fall back to another table

[cedar flicker]

No

[tacit swift]

...

thats all i know

[cedar flicker]

You need to look up what index does

[crimson plank]

Thats what I did

Look inside p1 for a function called incrementScore

If not found, check the metatable

If __index is set, check that table for the function
this is what I found

[cedar flicker]

Its defining what happens when youre looking for a item that dsoent exist

Yes

[crimson plank]

hm

[cedar flicker]

I meant that as "Yes, you're right"

With your definitoon

definition

the official lua docs explain this best

https://www.lua.org/pil/13.4.1.html

[nova yarrow]

Think of it like having a backup table

[nova yarrow]

If u look for a value in table and it's not there it searches for the backup

[cedar flicker]

The music 😂

[karmic mango]

what is even the point of jump property in humanoid

[tacit swift]

ye iam sending a new one...

[tacit swift]

nothing...

its just a gui that counts how many time you have jumped

[stone garden]

SAND?

[near pasture]

yea

[karmic mango]

yea i was just wondering in general, but idk why roblox doesnt make it easier to detect when player jumps

[tacit swift]

fr

[karmic mango]

unless theres a secret event for it which i just didnt know about

[twin mesa]

i see some ppl using VS for scripting in roblox, should i do it or just stick with roblox studio?

[tacit swift]

is this cool....?

[tacit swift]

do VS why not?

[twin mesa]

i mean not a reason to why not i was just wandering what changes when you use VS

[tacit swift]

idk tbh...

[twin mesa]

so just for the love of the game?

[tacit swift]

ive just used it for html, css, and js

[twin mesa]

thats fair

[elfin timber]

whats the best way to implement a cap on something

[crimson plank]

local Pet = {}
Pet.__index = Pet

function Pet.new(name)
local self = setmetatable({}, Pet)
self.name = name
self.hunger = 100
return self
end

function Pet:Feed()
self.hunger = 0
print(self.name.."HungerLevel="..self.hunger)
end

function Pet:Talk()
print(self.name.."barked")
end

local P1 = Pet.new("Dog")
P1:Feed()
P1:Talk()

Ok I m kinda understanding this

[elfin timber]

so lets say i have a farming game and i want the max in somebodies backpack to be 100 fruits crops whatever

[crimson plank]

any mistakes?

[elfin timber]

i cant find any

[cedar flicker]

Not much changes

A bit more "complex" workflow with syncing rojo with studio

But overall nothing bad, really great tool

Scripting in studio is fine tough

The native "version control" roblox has is dogshit

[crimson plank]

Yooo

I understood metatables finally

local Pet = {}
Pet.__index = Pet

function Pet.new(name)
local self = setmetatable({}, Pet)
self.name = name
self.hunger = 100
return self
end

function Pet:Feed()
self.hunger = 0
print(self.name.."HungerLevel="..self.hunger)
end

function Pet:Talk()
print(self.name.."barked")
end

local Dog = setmetatable({},{__index = Pet})
Dog.__index = Dog

function Dog.new(name)
local self = setmetatable({},Dog)
self.name = name
self.hunger = 100
return self
end

function Dog:Trick()
print(self.name.."rolled over")
end

local d = Dog.new("richy")
d:Feed()
d:Talk()
d:Trick()

[fair shoal]

just use profileservice bro

its already like perfect basically

[stone garden]

READ THE MESSAGE, IT IS A PROFILESERVCE

[twin mesa]

yeah i watched a tutorial and i heard it is aimed for big studios

so ig i shouldnt mind switching to it

[twin mesa]

version control?

[fair shoal]

the module thats already completed

by uh whats his name

oh wait thats profilestore

thats the old version

[pseudo maple]

What course do yall recommend i buy?

[cedar flicker]

git for example

imo version control is still useful for solo devs

Not necessarily pre game release

But post release its gonna be a life saver

[twin mesa]

i see, so vs makes updating a game way easier?

[cedar flicker]

No vs code is just your editor haha

[twin mesa]

oh

[cedar flicker]

Git could make it easier

[twin mesa]

oh alr

thanks

[cedar flicker]

Thats not roblox specific btw, i wouldnt mind all this when youre just starting out itll just overwhelm you

[slender yew]

can someone link me a good tut for making mobile/console controls?

mainly mobile

[wind spindle]

course for like scripting?

Are you brand new?

[lean ocean]

none

waste of money

[slender salmon]

does anyone know why Cmdr just stopped working in my studio 💀

[hoary cedar]

Check for errors

[slender salmon]

0 errors

[hoary cedar]

What have you done to diagnose the problem?

[slender salmon]

it handles normal commands fine but not my custom ones

[slender salmon]

went back in version

it just like doesnt register my custom commnads in studio but works fine in a actual game

[hoary cedar]

Hop in #1138239742769631282

Share your screen

[slender salmon]

i kinda cant

cause of the game im working on

💀

ill figure it out just wondering if it was like a general error

[hoary cedar]

Show your registration code

[slender salmon]

wdym

[hoary cedar]

Cmdr requires you to register custom commands to its system

[lean ocean]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/991600553899606048/1256264041043595315/watermark.gif

You remind me of this

[slender salmon]

oh its just this bro 💀

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Cmdr = require(ReplicatedStorage.Game.Utility.Moderation.Cmdr)

local Commands = script.Parent.Commands
local Hooks = script.Parent.Hooks
local Types = script.Parent.Types

Cmdr:RegisterDefaultCommands()
Cmdr:RegisterCommandsIn(Commands)
Cmdr:RegisterHooksIn(Hooks)
Cmdr:RegisterTypesIn(Types)```

[slender salmon]

the devs just dont want me doing anything lmao

just weird tho cause it was working perfect and i didnt change any code

[pseudo maple]

Yeah

[pseudo maple]

I’ve gotten down all the basics

[limber plank]

can anyone help me setup the effect that i already got and just put on the character like sol rng?

[wind spindle]

tbh i've used some courses but they dont do as much as like actually going into games and finding out how the developer used the code

it's way more useful and fastere

[pseudo maple]

Ive been told that alot, but idk if i should do that if i only know the basics

[twin mesa]

yah ig ill not mind for now

[wind spindle]

I've been scripting for 6 months, I watch TheDevKings tutorials and some others, I then went into obbies (uncopylocked and perms) and i went to stuff like the water killing you if you step on it. I then pasted it into chatgpt, there is a chatgpt model or version that is for coding, it told me the meaning and then I deleted the script and recreated it.

It sticks in your mind

or use a model from the toolbox

[limber plank]

can anyone help me setup the effect that i already got and just put on the character like sol rng?

[sour vine]

aight

[twin mesa]

how do you get scripts from games?

[velvet meadow]

could be better?

[gray junco]

You don't need tô declare the player inside the function

Declare it outside , and for most of the cases, the character and the humanoid root part

Where is your script located?

[burnt pulsar]

hello guys i was wondering how does games like grow a garden saves player inventory??

[zealous heath]

With Datastores

[burnt pulsar]

but how do they do it for inv ?

[shrewd meteor]

does anyone have a script to get avatar robux value of player

[cedar flicker]

With datastores,

[reef birch]

did you do what i said in code help

[real zealot]

on player joined, it pulls the values from what the player had stored in their inventory and copies it to their backpack

[violet folio]

learning from uncopylocked roblox games probably isn't th best way to learn scripting

[wind spindle]

Whyt?

why*

[rain osprey]

code help sucks so im asking here

btw fontbuf is just my wrapper for the buffer library with a cursor added

[fleet siren]

Why is my profilestore not making leaderstats?

I had to split the message up cus discord msg limit

[fleet siren]

Also dont ignore this person ^^^

[mint cloud]

WE are ignoring both of u

[reef birch]

did you write this or did chatgpt

[fleet siren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2SP_TLeWHI

This

I followed this

idk if i missed something

When I load game leaderstats just dont work

and i get this error

[reef birch]

do you know what the script does

[fleet siren]

Its profilestore

[reef birch]

what does the colon do

i think youre looking it up right now
you should ask the person who wrote the script why it wont work

[fleet siren]

Im talking in rodevs they fixin a bunch of my errors rn

after i fix one its another

i think i just missed some detailes

[violet folio]

you'd be better off using gpt to generate code

[alpine storm]

hey could someone explain the difference between: Scripts,local Scipts and Module Scripts?

[near sonnet]

u know the difference between server and client?

[alpine storm]

nope

sever is the roblox place

client is the game running on persons device

[lost yoke]

nope > says the difference

[near sonnet]

lol

yeah thats pretty much the difference

server is where every player is on and client is the game on one device of a player

so

scripts are for actions for the whole server so for every player

local scripts are ment for the client so on speciffic players or one player on its own

[fathom sundial]

who ordered a yappuchino

[near sonnet]

he asked

[fathom sundial]

is that rufus

[near sonnet]

it is

[fathom sundial]

i was kidding i love you

[near sonnet]

xD

[fathom sundial]

take back everything i said

[near sonnet]

and a module script in Roblox is a special script used to store reusable code like functions or variables.

[alpine storm]

ohh i see

so local scripts can get exploited

what about the normal script function

and the modulus one

[alpine storm]

ohh

i see

what abt the normal non-local and non-module

[near sonnet]

:

[remote bear]

i have been using string keys for fast table lookups but i think its also taking up a lot of Cpu usage what could i use instead

[gusty schooner]

Number

[remote bear]

how would that match the speed of table lookups?

[gusty schooner]

Im pretty sure arrays are faster but its 3am i can always be wrong

[remote bear]

i have been recommended to use vectors as table keys but to make it work way better i need to learn how to cache/ reuse vectors

[gusty schooner]

U can just reuse by getting the keys

Im missing something

[remote bear]

not really since in my program i have to recreate/ destroy tables often. even though i do reuse tables its better to have an good Cache

[gusty schooner]

Why do u have to destroy tables

[remote bear]

because they are no longer in use and they are just being a waste of memory since they are not in use

[gusty schooner]

Why not have a reference to one table for where u need it

[remote bear]

yeah that's why i used stringed vectors as table keys but they weren't very efficient in large batches

[gusty schooner]

That does not make a difference

I suggest either use vectors serialized to buffers as keys or have a structure of sub arrays per chunk and axis

[remote bear]

i did use buffers at one point but they weren't very fast since to find a vector in a buffer you had to either create a lookup table with the key being the vector and the value being the buffer place value or you would have to loop through the entire buffer. while it is good for memory its not good if you constantly use it

[gusty schooner]

I do agree however i cant say if this would be that beneficial

[remote bear]

if converting my string keys into cached vectors does not help or makes it worse i can always change my script history and revert it back

[gusty schooner]

Whats the issue though

[remote bear]

the issue is the amnt of Cpu usage my program when i use it it easily goes to 80 in fact when someone else tested it their cpu peaked at around 400 witch is most likely why their fps was very low.

[gusty schooner]

Are u using actors?

Also thats really fire

[remote bear]

i might in the future but i am trying to figure out a good way of using them that doesn't require remotes, i may just use them to make the display faster but because of the version of Canvas draw i am using it might cause visual glitches like when i tried to make the gameloop very renderstep

[gusty schooner]

Why would u need remote events for actors

[sly axle]

@surreal flower saiod he could help

[remote bear]

because i cant give the actor a buffer unless i use some other method

[gusty schooner]

Do u mean communicating between actors?

[languid harbor]

Im level five but i cant send gifs?

[remote bear]

kind of since for it to work (for the buffer writing) i would need to make it create a new buffer that fills in a section of it and then combine them all to create the final display buffer. i am sure there is a better way of doing this but i am not sure

[gusty schooner]

I havent used actors before making this chunkloader but basically what i did was gather chunks and split them across a amount of actors which will start their parallel connections when the chunks get sent, then every frame i do everything as efficiently as possible. Stuff such as the parent of an object have to be written in serial so what i initially did was in my for loop every time run the parenting in serial and make it parallel again, however i doubled the peformance by making a parenting queu so i made an array of chunks that had to be parented to their original parent or nil and then after that i loop thru the queus and parented them

Holy yappachino i know

For me it was really the order of doing things, i dont think it will be a problem sending a message to an actor often because they are made for it

[remote bear]

yeah i am just not sure how i could use actors in my time line since i am translating a bunch of tables into one display buffer that contains 700 triangles so no matter how many blocks are on screen only 700 are displayed although the rewrites are around triple. this was to fix some common visual bugs i got when displaying things on canvas draw 3.4.1 (an older version compared to v4+). so the only way i can see myself using actors is if i used multiple display buffers one for each actor and i assign chunks to write then display them one after the other but then there are other issues with that like how do i know witch block should be rendered in witch actor and in what order should i display them etc

[gusty schooner]

I would just send the initial data to each worker which they should render

Then just connect to prerender in parallel and do ur render code for the assigned blocks

I go to sleep now, i hope i helped 😃

[remote bear]

it did help thanks man

[solemn latch]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on the best way to learn scripting. I've tried tutorials but I find myself still not fully understanding. any suggestions would be appreciated!

[lost yoke]

making your own game is a great way to learn

make a game to learn not learn to make a game

[solemn latch]

so like a mini game to use what you learned?

[lost yoke]

pretty much yeah start with something simple

then you get set yourself on more complex goals

[solemn latch]

okay thanks, do you have any small minigame suggestions? idrk what to work on rn

[lost yoke]

hmm

try making a start menu for your game

u dont really need to know anything to do that so its a good starting point since pretty much every game needs one and you can always make it more complex later on

[solemn latch]

okay thank you!!

[nova yarrow]

Looks good

I made terrain gen a while ago with chunks, im planning on making it in parallel since it was recommended to me

so yall - lua local currentPivot = AirPlane:GetPivot() local planeRight = currentPivot.RightVector local worldUp = Vector3.new(0, 1, 0) local rollDirection = planeRight:Dot(worldUp) < 0 and -1 or 1 tspmo, like if the plane goes full 180 roll then it will have the roll direction flip to keep the airplane fully flipped 180, is there any other solutions or something, ive tried so much stuff and none worked.

honestly most of these greedy people want a working gui menu with settings and loadouts and such💔

let me get hired for something not gui related🙏

[dense oasis]

Yeah i was looking through scripter-hiring and so much is just like ui lol. I might make a inventory system
