does anyone know a replacement for roblox pathfinding

[somber vault]

you can create it yourself with raycast

[glossy swan]

is there anything faster than math.random?
Cuz like heres my benchmark:
math.random: 0.0008714999999028805 seconds
fastrandom: 0.009100299999772687 seconds -- my custom lua random which is more simple than math.random

i dont think there is

math.random is written in C

even with all optimizations:
13:02:31.367 0.00805949999994482 - Client - LocalScript:31

[charred night]

are we fr

optimizinf math.random

did you try to store the func in a variable

[glossy swan]

yes

imagine

[glossy swan]

yep

im also caching shit

[crude quarry]

If I weld the players legs to the floor would that remove the bumpiness

[charred night]

1. why are you using playeradded when its a local script
2. the humanoid is in the character, not the player

[glossy swan]

no

replicate movement on client

instead of ddoing everything on server

https://tenor.com/view/gubby-helicopter-gubby-helicopter-gubby-copter-gubby-forsaken-gif-12789936455384532868

[charred night]

yeah like tween the cframe

[charred night]

help me make a good ball replication

[somber vault]

weld the root part

to the elevator

[glossy swan]

hell nah

NO

[somber vault]

why not?

[glossy swan]

just replicate everything on client

whats the point of having it welded

like bro you wont even be able to move

[somber vault]

to remove bumpiness

[glossy swan]

BUMPINESS OCCURS BECAUSE THE LIFT SCRIPT IS ON SERVER

[somber vault]

why would you be moving in a moving elevator

[somber vault]

I KNOW.

🤖

[charred night]

to remoce rhe bumpiness

[somber vault]

each one has his own way of solving problems

[glossy swan]

just replicate movement on client 😭

waeawaeaewawewae

[somber vault]

you don't have to force your method to us

[glossy swan]

why my method is better:
less bandwith, no bumpiness, no bugs that can occur due to welding rootpart

[charred night]

nah deadass welding it is stupid

just tween the rootpart with the elevator 🐸

[wind spindle]

I didn't see this but what>

[somber vault]

you mean uncopylocked right?...

[wind spindle]

yes

[charred night]

he prolly means decompilation

[sudden estuary]

Afr

[wind spindle]

tf is decompilation

[charred night]

google is your friend

[wind spindle]

idk what the meant, I searched it up got the meaning but dont understannd it

[charred night]

🐸

in context of roblox, it essentially means using exploits to read the script's bytecode and convert it into somewhat readable lua code

in other words, "stealing" scripts

usually done to bypass anti cheats and find vulns tho

[gray parrot]

does somebody knows about RenderJob in MicroProfiler ? It causes me a crazy lag spikes , can somebody help ?

[somber vault]

aka = when you see systems from popular games in the toolbox

they use decompilation to the original game code and snatches it

and i mean the EXACT SAME SYSTEMS, not people doing similar things

and decompilation can also be used in making in-game exploits

[wind spindle]

I don't steal the scripts

[chilly timber]

can someone help me rq

pls

[wind spindle]

I change the whole thing

[wind spindle]

with?

[chilly timber]

so I have an animation

and I want to know how I can put it into my code

[spark estuary]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/animation/using

[chilly timber]

im confused asl

[spark estuary]

whars confusing yuo

[chilly timber]

idk

Im dumb

[spark estuary]

watch tutorials or something 🙏

[slender sky]

guys

should i use GetPartBoundsInBox or a Hitbox part?

[charred night]

nobody uses hitbox part

[stuck iron]

I am returning to scripting again but I want to know how U like make items save and players not lose their progress cuz that was the reason I gave up last time

Like weapons and stuff not leaderboard

[charred night]

Datastore

[somber vault]

Just save data

[stuck iron]

Ik I searched yt on how I do that to items and I get that videos that say go to my description and copy what I do like I want to learn not copy

[charred night]

then read the do s

docs

[stuck iron]

Yea I will try that now , I was stupid last time

[charred night]

essenrially you want to store your items in some module where you can access their ids, names and models (and other info), then you want to store player inventory in datastore with id and quantity

[crude quarry]

I might be too dumb for coding cuz this took way to long to figure out

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remote = ReplicatedStorage.TDEvent
local part = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Door")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local character = Players.LocalPlayer
local team = game.Teams


part.Touched:Connect(function()
    if character.Team == team.Headquarters then
        part.CanCollide = false
        print(part.CanCollide)
    end 
end)
``` 😭

[soft burrow]

part.Touched:Connect(function)

is the same as

Connect(part.Touched, function)

in my understanding so how would the script call connect? do i need to put it in a loop

[stuck iron]

Ohh I understand it

[somber vault]

the if statement clearly isnt working as intended

[somber vault]

How so, it's already getting that "hit.parent" and checks if it's a valid player before owning the place

• the issue was that he had the team with auto-assignable

then theres no point of adding the if statement

unless hit.Parent is nil

but that isnt op's intention

[charred night]

you call the function, you cant call Connect directly cause its a rbxsxriptsignal

theoretixally you could do RBXScriptSignal.Connect(part.Touched, function) but that would also not fire the function directly

[soft burrow]

yo

so they different?

i thought the colon just directly passed the function into connect

[raven marsh]

a

[charred night]

it does, so what are u trying to do

[raven marsh]

i

an

bored

[soft burrow]

trying to understand events and lua

[charred night]

you said how would the script call connect

which makes 0 sense

[soft burrow]

Connect(part.Touched, function)

if i put this in a script where part and function are defined

when would this run

[charred night]

in the script?

connect only has to run once

and then the event will trigger the function that you passed

[soft burrow]

so connect keeps running?

[charred night]

no

connect only runs once and creates a connection

[lean ocean]

code inside will run when that said event happens

[soft burrow]

oh nice

and events are only tracked if theres a reference to them

[charred night]

no

they run whenever theres a connection

you dont need a reference to it

but you should have one just in case (to disconnect it)

[soft burrow]

i thought the reference was the connection

so how would i refrence it normally

[charred night]

the reference is the connection

but if you dont store it in a variable

you dont have the reference

local connection = part.Touched:Connect(...)

connection is your reference

There is this bug where if you are sitting and teleport, the seat will teleport with you. Is there any fix for this????

[charred night]

unsit

[vast hornet]

🥀 .ight

[soft burrow]

so what can i do with this connection

[charred night]

disconnect it

and then the event wont trigger your function anymore

[vast hornet]

Do i unsit from the client or from the server?

The seat teleports on the server-side.

[charred night]

i would say client

[soft burrow]

thanks for the help gurt

[raven marsh]

“run it at brindle” 👳‍♂️

[vast hornet]

didn't work.

local Char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid : Humanoid = Char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if Humanoid then
    if Humanoid.SeatPart then
        local Weld : Weld = Humanoid.SeatPart:FindFirstChild("SeatWeld")
            if Weld then
                Weld.Part1 = nil
            end    
    end
    Humanoid.Sit = false
end

here is the code i used

nvm it did work i'm just stupid

[vagrant saddle]

What seems to be a problem?

[south iron]

who needs help

?

[crude quarry]

im using a remote event to change the collision of this part, is there a way for me to send this back to the client with the remote event?

[stone garden]

remote function

a remotefunction sends a callback

[south iron]

try this

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- or however you get your Player reference
local Char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

if Humanoid then
if Humanoid.SeatPart then
local Weld = Humanoid.SeatPart:FindFirstChild("SeatWeld")
if Weld then
Weld.Part1 = nil
end
end
Humanoid.Sit = false
end

[crude quarry]

I meant remote event

[stone garden]

alr thanks chatgpt

[stone garden]

you can Fire back

[sly plover]

i was following a tutorial and i was wondering what i did wrong since there's the red line under my rnd but not under hisw

[charred night]

theres no = sign

open your eyes...

[soft burrow]

local goal = {}
goal.Position = Vector3.new(10, 10, 0)
goal.Color = Color3.new(0, 1, 0)

i assume this is like a dictionary

[sly plover]

good somebody got eyes thanks

[charred night]

its a table

its a mix of dictionary and list

[lean ocean]

what is this guy gonna accomplish following a tutorial

[charred night]

more than you doing nothing

[lean ocean]

?

hes following a tutorial on how to make a game

that won't help him at all

[analog pollen]

@winged silo

[soft burrow]

wait how

[soft burrow]

what tutorial should i do

[charred night]

who are you to dictate what kind of learning medium is going to help them

feel yourself real quick bro

bum*

[lean ocean]

tell me how efficient copying code is

For learning

[charred night]

you think watching a tutorial translates to copying code? reflects how intelligent u truly are

sometimes when you have no starting point, watching a tutorial is the most efficient thing to do as you get a quick start and can continue from there

[soft burrow]

local originalPosition = script.Parent.Position
local goal = {}
goal.Position = originalPosition + Vector3(0, 100, 0)
```what's wrong with this

[charred night]

Vector3.new

[lean ocean]

brother he straight up copied the code

how hard is it to understand

[soft burrow]

nice thanks

[lean ocean]

If he's copying the code and just writing it out without trying to understand it he won't learn anything

[soft burrow]

why do i need the new

yay it works

[charred night]

its how you construct a new Vector3, same as all roblox instances, such as Instance.new

[charred night]

whether he tries to understand it or not shouldnt be your concern tho, like deadass 💀

or can you read his mind

[lean ocean]

I mean you spoonfed him the answer

😂

[charred night]

you can give him a crash course if you want

[soft burrow]

function playIfPlayer(object_touched)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(object_touched)
    
    if player then
        tween:Play()
    end
end

part.Touched:Connect(playIfPlayer())
```is this not really expensive? my part is always in contact with something thats not a player

sorry lots of questions

[sick flower]

whats the average walkspeed on humanoid when u sprint on roblox?

[crude quarry]

you can use object_touched.Parent to get the character

[crude quarry]

16

[sick flower]

aight ty

[soft burrow]

its overlapping with something

what if the object touching isnt a player

[south iron]

my thing is a little bit bugged

[sick flower]

I thought 60 was normal

[crude quarry]

oh for sprinting, its whatever you want

[sick flower]

aight aight

[charred night]

you have to pass the funxtion itself, not call it

[crude quarry]

can confirm thats a bug

[soft burrow]

oops

[crude quarry]

Do I have to use a remote event to get the humanoid root part to weld to another part

[soft burrow]

not working, how should you check if a player touched cause this looks expensive and wrong

[charred night]

the way youre doing it is good

dont worry about performance

[soft burrow]

nice ty

[crude quarry]

if it works dont touch it

[formal crescent]

How come playing a certain animation causes a random fling whenever I apply vector velocity to the root? The animation doesn't animate the root or collides the character under the floor.

[somber vault]

No

Autocorrect sorry

[crude quarry]

the way I have isnt working so im not sure

[somber vault]

Its probably not a networking issue

[crude quarry]

F2.MouseClick:Connect(function(hit)

    local root = hit:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
    weld.Part0 = root
    weld.Part1 = EV 

    if floor == 2 then return end
    local goal = {CFrame = EV.CFrame - Vector3.new(0, -50,0)}


    local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
        10, -- Time

        Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, 

        Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 

        0, 

        false, 

        2 
    )

    local tween = TweenService:Create(EV, tweenInfo, goal)

    tween:Play()
    floor = 2
    task.wait(10)
    weld:Destroy()
end)


``` Any suggestions then

                rtimer = 0
            end
        end)

whats wrong with this 😔 the kills dont get updated properly and no output

last hit is not nil, i checked

[small palm]

1. Your grabbing the killer from players that is wrong.

2. Luau does not support backticks or template strings

[thorn frigate]

killer is the string because attributes cannot be instances. and the second one works just fine the issue was with the ragdoll module

[lean ocean]

Luau supports string interpolation

If that's what u mean

[soft burrow]

tween:Play()
will it wait till it finishes before it runs the next line

[lean ocean]

no

It will instantly go next line

[glass maple]

can someone make a class system for me (mine didn't work).

[hallow crag]

class system ????

u mean OOP

[glass maple]

what's an OOP?

@hallow crag

[hallow crag]

wdym "class system"

[glass maple]

like a system where you can choose a class to get powers in a game

like dead rails

[hallow crag]

yeah aint no one making u that for free

[glass maple]

I can make a theme song for a game

it's good enough

[soft burrow]

ill do it

what classes

[glass maple]

I'll show you the game because my classes are a bit different than usual

dm me

@soft burrow

[empty rapids]

can someone tell me the difference between

tool.activated
tool:activated

[copper apex]

Do you mean Tool.Activated and Tool:Activate() ?

[empty rapids]

yes

[copper apex]

Tool.Activated is a property which tells u if its activated

Tool:Activate() is a method that activates the tool

[empty rapids]

alright tysm

[copper apex]

Np

[brittle vector]

can somone help me here cause in the other chat i aksed which totorial is good for learning scripting im just starting and i got told none

how am i gonna learn scripting then

[scenic lotus]

I started learning scripting instantly from project tutorial (even though I didn't understand that much at first)

[brittle vector]

oh

[scenic lotus]

then try adding extra things related to the project that tutorial doesn't have

[brittle vector]

i mean i already know some sutff

but my problem is i didnt learned for 2 whole weeks now and before everytime i try somthing i forget it

[copper apex]

Brawldev is pretty good and his beginner series

[static coral]

anyone #code-help message

[brittle vector]

its like i want to learn all that stuff but then it takes to long to learn it and i brake up on it

[empty rapids]

Could someone please tell me why this isn't working i just started learning tools but this doesn't seem to check for me (localscript in starterpack)

[copper apex]

I learned because i found it enjoyable to code things

[scenic lotus]

maybe try adding extra content yourself to the thing that you are learning (try to make it global or use 1 script by the way)

[copper apex]

You shouldnt learn luau just for the sake of learning it

[brittle vector]

i want learn it cause i like to create games but its so hard

[copper apex]

Yes this is why you should tackle simpler things to code

Work your way up by adding maybe a new thing or two to that simple thing

[scenic lotus]

Maybe try build game with your friend, it might be more interesting

[brittle vector]

ye but im trying to understand the basics rn

like loops/ tables lists and stuff

[scenic lotus]

local script 💀

[brittle vector]

i need those to even make a script

[scenic lotus]

use server script

[empty rapids]

Yeah arent we supossed to use local scripts for starterpack?

[empty rapids]

alr im gonna try

still doesn't seem to work

[brittle vector]

somone got any idea i mean i dont know most of the basic stuff maybe i could try any easy script but idk what i should do

[copper apex]

I personally think beginners shouldn't learn luau if its their first programming language since you learn most of the time from youtube, and me, I learn from it then forget it, this is why I think new programmers should learn from other programming languages where you have textbooks to guide you and exercises to get you used to the programming environment

[brittle vector]

the problem for me is i wantto learn all that stuff as fast as i can cause i really wanna make my dream game xd

[scenic lotus]

Are you putting it just in starterpack or in the tool in starterpack

[empty rapids]

In the tool

[copper apex]

This is bad

[brittle vector]

i know

[copper apex]

Learn from small projects first

Dont rush it

You will miss out on the more important things that build up your foundation

[brittle vector]

but i dont even know which games i could try eather

cause im bored in other games the really stuff im on is horror games but there not easy at all

[copper apex]

For me

I made a door system when i first learned luau

First i made it work first by making it open and close

[dark juniper]

why would u need textbooks for programming its all problem solving

[brittle vector]

oh

[brittle vector]

problem is i dont understand events

[copper apex]

Math is problem solving, does that mean we dont need textbooks for math?

[scenic lotus]

me who started learning from lua

[brittle vector]

what is the tool supposed to do?

[copper apex]

Engineers uses textbooks

Programmers also use textbooks

[dark juniper]

Well uhhhh about that…

[astral swift]

Is it worth it to learn how to script?

[brittle vector]

it is def ye

[scenic lotus]

I search for information from many source in chrome

[empty rapids]

Thanks for the question am just trying to make a tool when you hold down a value becomes true

everything is working but the value doesnt become true in properties thats why am confused

[astral swift]

Cuz I do modeling, and coding seems too hard to get into. I also feel like I'm too late

[dark juniper]

why too late

[copper apex]

Most people who learn programming or in college for it, they have requried textbooks

[astral swift]

There's also a lot of errors in coding

[astral swift]

Boutta be a senior

[dark juniper]

learning and applying are two different thing tho

like reading how to cook vs cooking

[empty rapids]

i think it depends on a person's prefrence because i enjoy scripting way more than modeling on blender

[soft burrow]

you dont need me for this ngl but ill do it

[brittle vector]

i cant even learn from books

[copper apex]

Well we were talking about the side of learning

Well i was

[brittle vector]

in my school time i never learned out of them i watched videos about everything

[scenic lotus]

It can be fix

[astral swift]

And won't it take me like a year before I can actually do something with it ?

[dark juniper]

these noob programmers don’t needa read they need to start using their brains to think of solutions to the problem

[copper apex]

I learn from books a lot better, because a page is worth like a 10 min video

[soft burrow]

no you can learn in 1 day

[copper apex]

You can get a lot from it if you learn how to read properly

[scenic lotus]

learn from websites in chrome like devforum, google has ai feature now btw

[astral swift]

👀...

[scenic lotus]

try to comprehend it

[dark juniper]

like how do u expect to develop your own framework one day if all u do is reference textbooks

[brittle vector]

maybe try to put an if statement in there idk

[dark juniper]

u need problem solve

[copper apex]

I never said to use textbooks to make your own framework?

[soft burrow]

learn by making projects

[astral swift]

How'd y'all learn how to code

[brittle vector]

ye but theres the problem idk where to start?

[copper apex]

I was purely talking about learning a programming language

[scenic lotus]

hold on lemme check this out

[obsidian ember]

If you want to learn how to code just make stuff

[dark juniper]

I literally just put effort and struggle into using the Roblox stuff to solve my problems

[copper apex]

Not applying it

[brittle vector]

how long did yall learn to get good in coding?

[dark juniper]

so making stuff

[obsidian ember]

If you want to learn how to code but dont have anything to code, why do you wanna learn it in the first place yk

[empty rapids]

ty i thought it was a visual glitch

[dark juniper]

I got to the point where I can basically make anything I want through not even having to think about it

train ur problem solving

[copper apex]

Practice

[stone garden]

if the local script is inside the starterpack then why the 1st line difine the tool as script.Parent?

[soft burrow]

i'm a lua beginner too but make a block that moves when you touch it then comes back after 5s

[dark juniper]

Easy problem think of how to solve it

[empty rapids]

local script is inside the tool i mean

[brittle vector]

uh ye and now i would stay at the script and dont even know how to start

[scenic lotus]

tried it and it has check mark in property when activate

[soft burrow]

first figure out how to track the touch

that taught me events

[stone garden]

is checker a "BoolVal"?

[empty rapids]

yeah

[astral swift]

My brother does the scripting for me, and he's pretty good compared to other scripters. (He makes custom movement systems and physics things) But then I feel like if he decided to not help sometime in the future imma be cooked. I can model, also kinda animate and do it. But scripting seems like a very important missing piece

[empty rapids]

probably a visual glitch since output says its true

[soft burrow]

then how to move it which taught me vector3 and tweening

[brittle vector]

i think the part needs to detect the humanoid part and i need vector

[stone garden]

i know why

[soft burrow]

then start with that

[obsidian ember]

I dont know if this is related to you, but because you are changing the value with a local script, server script wont see the change

[stone garden]

the scripts works fine, but your looking at the value on server, its a local script

[stone garden]

no

[empty rapids]

hmm ill try to change it to a server script

[brittle vector]

alr that will take me the whole day but i wont get off before its working

[copper apex]

Do the brawldev series on youtube and practice it to smaller projects

[obsidian ember]

Right now is a really good time to learn it. There is a lot of tools available online for free

[stone garden]

bro it works fine

[empty rapids]

Ohh okay i got it

[stone garden]

try to look the value on Client

[stone garden]

wanna voice chat? i do programing i can help u

[soft burrow]

btw i did some other languages before so idk how complex it is for someone new, if it's too hard try something else. i'm no expert

[brittle vector]

k

[copper apex]

Also https://www.lua.org/pil/1.html this is a really helpful website, its not roblox's version of lua but it still works when it comes to logic and syntax loops operations etc etc

[stone garden]

no you cant set to server script because of the .Activate:Connect()

[scenic lotus]

Did you look your tool in your character in workspace yet?

[empty rapids]

Sorry i can't right now

[empty rapids]

i understood why now

[astral swift]

How long did it take y'all to reach a place where u can say you're "good" at scripting

[stone garden]

1 year

[copper apex]

I also like how it goes in depth for functions

[soft burrow]

ty, looks good

[stone garden]

i make my own modules now, i re write roblox functions and upgrade them

[astral swift]

I'm cooked

[soft burrow]

oh yeah variables, classes and functions are important

[brittle vector]

what are classes?

i know functions and variables

[copper apex]

Its like a wrapper?

[stone garden]

a channel module, i can send and revice data from client server in 1 line of code, its like a bridge

[copper apex]

OOP

[empty rapids]

thank you so much for everybody that helped me its working fine

[brittle vector]

nice

[soft burrow]

wait are events like attributes in oop

[soft burrow]

lets say you put this script on a part

local part_refrence = script.Parent

so this is a refence to a part object i think. sorry idk if i can explain well, im a beginner myself

[brittle vector]

oh ye alr now i know i just knew the german word cause im german

[crude quarry]

F2.MouseClick:Connect(function(hit)

    local root = hit:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
    weld.Part0 = root
    weld.Part1 = EV 

    if floor == 2 then return end
    local goal = {CFrame = EV.CFrame - Vector3.new(0, -50,0)}


    local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
        10, -- Time

        Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, 

        Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 

        0, 

        false, 

        2 
    )

    local tween = TweenService:Create(EV, tweenInfo, goal)

    tween:Play()
    floor = 2
    task.wait(10)
    weld:Destroy()
end)


``` Any ideas how to get this to work, I tried a local script but that wasn't working out

[scenic lotus]

What is F2 variable

[crude quarry]

Click detector part

[scenic lotus]

Are you making elevator?

[crude quarry]

Yes

Trying to weld the player so it's alot smoother

[granite igloo]

you never parent the weld

[scenic lotus]

There's no problem with tweening
you can use tween.Completed:Wait() instead of task.wait(10) by the way

[scenic lotus]

definitely not lua language

[static coral]

ArabScript

[south iron]

bro what is wrong here

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local introCameraPart = workspace:FindFirstChild("IntroCamera")
local found = false
local totalWait = 0
local maxWait = 5 -- Only wait up to 5 seconds

if not introCameraPart then
local startTime = tick()
local connection
connection = workspace.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
if child.Name == "IntroCamera" then
introCameraPart = child
found = true
if connection then
connection:Disconnect()
connection = nil
end
end
end)
-- Wait up to maxWait seconds for the part to appear
while not introCameraPart and (tick() - startTime) < maxWait do
task.wait(0.1)
introCameraPart = workspace:FindFirstChild("IntroCamera")
if introCameraPart then
found = true
if connection then
connection:Disconnect()
connection = nil
end
break
end
end
if connection then
connection:Disconnect()
connection = nil
end
totalWait = math.floor((tick() - startTime) * 10 + 0.5) / 10
end

if introCameraPart then
if totalWait > 0 then
print("IntroCamera part found after waiting " .. totalWait .. " seconds.")
end
-- Save original camera settings
local originalCameraType = camera.CameraType
local originalCFrame = camera.CFrame

-- Move camera to IntroCamera part
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = introCameraPart.CFrame

-- Wait for a few seconds (e.g., 5 seconds for intro)
task.wait(5)

-- Restore camera control to player
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
camera.CFrame = originalCFrame

else
warn("IntroCamera part not found in Workspace after " .. maxWait .. " seconds. Skipping intro camera sequence.")
end

[static coral]

jumpscare

[hallow crag]

gpt slop

[scenic lotus]

too lazy to read lol

[stone garden]

is "EV" defined?

[scenic lotus]

elevator part I think

[stone garden]

wdyfm you think? its not defined

[crude quarry]

Yeah it is

[hallow crag]

probably is he just didnt send the full code

dumbass

[brittle vector]

local Movingpart = script.Parent

local function touch()
print("true")
end

Movingpart.Touched:Connect(touch)

[brittle vector]

it tells me that it got touched ye but idk how to do the part so it moves when i touch it

[stone garden]

read the code again, the (hit) isnt even used

[crude quarry]

Change the parts positon

[scenic lotus]

use tween or lerp

[soft burrow]

ok so you got the function to run when the part is touched nice

[stone garden]

skidies

[hallow crag]

hit isnt even needed

[soft burrow]

now find out how to make a part move

[brittle vector]

ye but it is supposed to happen when i touch it and it should come back after 5 seconds

[soft burrow]

then put it in a function

[crude quarry]

Save the position then move it

Or tween it

[stone garden]

why is it called?

[hallow crag]

who cares hes not using it so why u complaining about it

[soft burrow]

make sure you understand all of it btw when i tried to start like 5 years ago i didn't understand any of it and was just copying code

[crude quarry]

Yes it is it's used to find the Humanoidrootpart

[scenic lotus]

it works anyways

[brittle vector]

alr ye i wont copy

[hallow crag]

snake_case in luau 💔

[brittle vector]

the only problem here is that if i touch the part it says like 10 times touch and if i move o nthe part it gets up to 50 times touched or 100

[scenic lotus]

use boolvalue

[granite igloo]

then make sure the toucher is a character

[scenic lotus]

debounce thing

[hallow crag]

debounce 🔥

[granite igloo]

and add a debounce ye

[soft burrow]

btw is debounce a real thing or just a random var name

[crude quarry]

Random var nane

[soft burrow]

hush up and lua is mid

[crude quarry]

Can be anything really

Local hshshshsh = false
If hshshshshsh == true then return end
Hahshshshsh =true
End

[scenic lotus]

ye, you just need to not forget what that variable does

[static coral]

"Local"? "End"? 🤔

[hallow crag]

local part = script.Parent

local lastTouch = os.clock()

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if os.clock() - lastTouch < 0.5 then return end

    lastTouch = os.clock()
end)

[crude quarry]

Mobile

Mobiles not made for lua coding

[hallow crag]

luau*

[crude quarry]

Luau

[soft burrow]

snake_case for vars camelCase for functions

[hallow crag]

snake_case for constants, PascalCase for service and functions, camelCase for variables and anything else

[scenic lotus]

I normally use
local isClicked = false

brahbrah.brahbrahTouched:Connect(function()
if isClicked = false then
isClicked = true
brah brah ....
isClicked = false
end
end)

[hallow crag]

worst way

just add a 0.1 to 0.5 second cooldown

[soft burrow]

i do this too ngl

[crude quarry]

I like returning an if statement to end if I don't need to use it later

[static coral]

camelcase 🤢

[scenic lotus]

I mean it's already in brah brah . . .

[hallow crag]

that aint camelCase

💔

[stone garden]

thats false, where is the acuacly debounce? a task.wait()

[static coral]

cuz i dont wanna use it

camelcase ugly af

[hallow crag]

what do u use

[crude quarry]

While task.wait(0.1) do
end

[stone garden]

???

[hallow crag]

💔

[static coral]

might as well use IllIlIIIlIlll for variable name instead

[stone garden]

close roblox studio

[static coral]

pascal and capital snake case

[scenic lotus]

task.wait() already in that brah brah . . .

[hallow crag]

bro thats ugly ash

[static coral]

no

[hallow crag]

yes

[static coral]

u just cant handle the fact that its superior 😮‍💨

[hallow crag]

Snake_case 💔

wtf

[crude quarry]

While true do
wait(0.1)
break
end

[hallow crag]

bro wtf u doing

thats not a cooldown

[teal quiver]

this discussion again?

[crude quarry]

What are you not Doug

[static coral]

there is no discussion, only facts

[teal quiver]

if that was the case you would be using camelCase

[hallow crag]

says the one who uses upper case snake_case 💔

[teal quiver]

why is that a thing

[static coral]

its the best

[stone garden]

i use local debounce = false local part = workspace.Part Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit) if debounce == false then debounce = true --THE CODE HERE task.wait(5) debounce = false end end

[teal quiver]

that is so weird

[hallow crag]

bro it ugly asf get ur eyes fixed

[static coral]

camelcase is skidding

[hallow crag]

💔

[teal quiver]

pretty sure it is how it's done in lua documentation??

[obsidian ember]

yes

[hallow crag]

look at every luau documentation

[teal quiver]

so lua is skidding then

[obsidian ember]

there is a page dedicated to this topic

[static coral]

im not talking to yall anymore i cant ruin my reputation by being seen conversing with inferior life forms

[obsidian ember]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/luau/variables

"how to name variables" 101

[hallow crag]

u use Snake_case wtf u on about

[teal quiver]

i think the only justified place to use PascalCase is for instance names since you already name them like that in workspace and stuff

[hallow crag]

@static coral

[soft burrow]

easiest to read

[teal quiver]

i guess services too yeah

forgot about that

assuming that is what they meant by roblox api

[static coral]

the same people tell you to nest if statements and use m*tatables, if they tell you to jump into the fire will you do it?

[obsidian ember]

yes

no one said nest if statements

nesting is ugly and bad

[static coral]

it is on official luau docs

[hallow crag]

i trust the api ref more then u yes

[obsidian ember]

metatables are useful asf

[obsidian ember]

link it

[static coral]

lemme find it rq

[teal quiver]

little bit of nesting is okay

[obsidian ember]

yeah

[teal quiver]

avoid it if you can

[static coral]

if you dont need to nest

then dont nest

u aint a bird

[obsidian ember]

so true my friend

[teal quiver]

ok then who are we arguing with

[somber vault]

its just programmig

listen to lebron

[obsidian ember]

"aint no party like a diddy party"

[hallow crag]

coming from the person who uses Snake_case

💔

[obsidian ember]

snake_case is default lua naming convention i think

[hallow crag]

💀

[teal quiver]

what

[hallow crag]

^^

[static coral]

cba to search for it rn just look through https://luau.org

its either on there or on docs

[obsidian ember]

bro sent me the bible and said "find it"

[static coral]

i cant remember where its at

[hallow crag]

so u cant prove ur point crazy

[stone garden]

https://tenor.com/view/roblox-meme-roblox-lua-meme-luau-roblox-studio-gif-9076490622546437733

[static coral]

https://tenor.com/view/stfu-shut-up-stop-shut-your-mouth-shut-it-down-gif-20324546

[static coral]

if u want it so bad then look for it i cant remember where it is

[obsidian ember]

for lua, not luau

lua its snake_case

[scenic lotus]

Is 65 wpm good speed?
normal typing with some capital letters and fullstop but not with some special char like { } [ ] # &

[static coral]

i think its fine

[lean ocean]

not really

i mean

average is 40 wpm apparently

[hallow crag]

nah in lua docs it just uses flatcase

[teal quiver]

we are doing luau

[sour vine]

guys whats the point of while loops when u can just use RunService.Heartbeat

[obsidian ember]

this is flatcase?

[hallow crag]

if u want yielding

[static coral]

whats the point of programming if u can just live a normal happy life

[scenic lotus]

RunService.HeartBeat do frame by frame of physic being rendered, idk for very specific tho

[sour vine]

u cant have happy life without coding

[teal quiver]

arent while loops more consistently timed

[obsidian ember]

hmmm

[static coral]

no quite the contrary

you need to use task.delay and recursion for most accurate timing

[hallow crag]

ig it uses both but im not suprised if theres some snake_case since lua is written in c

[scenic lotus]

while true do end without wait() or task.wait() can crash the game

[obsidian ember]

Yeah for example ive seen people implement lua in their custom game engines and they use snake_case

makes sense with the association with C

[hallow crag]

yeah

[teal quiver]

ok but obviously we are using luau, fork of lua?

[static coral]

local function loop()
  task.delay(1, loop)

  --code
end

[teal quiver]

true but i guess this could repeat before it finishes

the current calculation or whatever

the code

[obsidian ember]

stack overflow moment

[static coral]

you will obviously need code to break the loop or to cancel the thread otherwise its gonna go on forever, but as it is here it wont have any effect on your game

[static coral]

what

[hallow crag]

well no cause of 1 second delay

[obsidian ember]

given an infinite amount of time

[teal quiver]

what if the code takes longer than 1 second to complete?

now you got a problem

[static coral]

then dont use this method? or reconsider what you are doing

[obsidian ember]

reminds me of those videos where people afk in random games for real life weeks until random counters overflow and break the whole game in cool ways

[static coral]

you would not use this with api calls for example

[teal quiver]

ik i was just saying

idk

[brittle vector]

guys i want start watch dev king scripting totorials cause i just dont know what im doin in roblox studio is it worth it? i just heard good things about the totorials buti dk

there not very long per video

[static coral]

dont

thedevking is ass

use brawldev and docs

and practice and experiment

and learn some computer architecture

[scenic lotus]

I use dev forum

[static coral]

devforum only for very specific things really

[brittle vector]

so much stuff bruh maybe i just keep building

fr

[obsidian ember]

lowkey just make random stuff

[brittle vector]

why that?

[static coral]

you will better understand the data types and general concepts about code

it will help you with learning any programming language

[brittle vector]

this is all crazy stuff next month im starting to work and iwanna learn scripting now im gonna be dead fr

[static coral]

roblox scripting is not that hard

[teal quiver]

i was heartbroken when i realized that dictionaries were just hashed arrays under the hood

[static coral]

compared to other languages

[brittle vector]

i only want script in roblox tho

´my finish line is to make the most realistic roblox horror game

like those crazy horror games out of roblox but in roblox

[teal quiver]

@obsidian ember this is true right?

[brittle vector]

i almost have the building skills for it

now i just got to learn scripting

[obsidian ember]

I think so yeah

if you make a table with strings it will appear in a random order

its prob based on the hash

[static coral]

its alphabetical order

[brittle vector]

just make lists fr

[obsidian ember]

its not

[teal quiver]

wait is table.find or just using a string key faster then

[obsidian ember]

having the key would be faster

i dont remember the exact access cost on top of my mind but but using the key has a slightly higher but fixed cost

[teal quiver]

what would be the value then, assuming the dictionary is for checking something exists

[obsidian ember]

while table.find() scales depending on the dict size

[brittle vector]

those are the right totorials?

[static coral]

table.find doesnt work on dicts

[teal quiver]

i was talking about using table.find on an array

[static coral]

yes

[brittle vector]

alr

[obsidian ember]

just benchmark it lol

[brittle vector]

eh what why is the third totorial data types arent data types hard?

[teal quiver]

local items = {"a", "b", "c"}
-- or
local items = {a = true, b = true, c = true, d = nil}

[static coral]

no

not that hard

depending on your mental capacity

[scenic lotus]

something like int value, string value , float value , . . . I guess

[brittle vector]

hmm alr i mean good thing is i can start with it right up i already watched totorials about the first 2 also about the fourth but idk data types

so ye

[static coral]

also practice after watching the video

and dont just copy the code

[brittle vector]

i wont

[static coral]

otherwise you are practicing to fail

[obsidian ember]

I don't recall how to replicate it

[teal quiver]

it took me an embarrassing amount of time to understand what module scripts are for

[static coral]

????

[brittle vector]

ye but i mean on the first totorials theres not much to practise the first totorials i watched on an other youtuber i had to write somthing with the printing

[obsidian ember]

Its based on order of insertion, not alphabetically

[static coral]

what u talking about bro read the output

it rearranged the dict alphabetically

[teal quiver]

i dont think it is how it works

because there could be clashing hashes

[teal quiver]

your example is too small in my opinion

to prove your point

[static coral]

bro? 😂

[brittle vector]

everytme i join new place the output is completly orange

[teal quiver]

???

wdym

[brittle vector]

what is this all bruh

[copper apex]

Its from your plugins

[brittle vector]

how to uninstall the plugin?

[copper apex]

Go to plugins tab and open manage pluugins

[teal quiver]

you dont need to uninstall

just disable it

[brittle vector]

i dont make cutscenes

how?

[copper apex]

Go to plugins tab and open manage pluugins

[sly plover]

i was following a tutorial but i dont understand why its saying in output no units availalbe for chosen rarity uncommon because i have a uncommon rarity. somebody help pls

[obsidian ember]

yeah

[teal quiver]

you are using single letters

idk how lua's hashing works

[brittle vector]

oh i see tysm

[obsidian ember]

seems to be alphabetically

[teal quiver]

the string is literally the same except the first letter

what do you want me to do here

idk how they handle hashing

[static coral]

omfg

[teal quiver]

im not an expert either

[copper apex]

😭

[static coral]

what more do u want me to do to prove it to u

lil bro

[copper apex]

What are you both fighting about 💀

[teal quiver]

absolutely nothing

[static coral]

the facts that dictionaries are rearranged alphabetically by roblox

[teal quiver]

this conversation sucks

[static coral]

you are no expert and you are also wrong so why do u keep on arguing

[obsidian ember]

this is probably tru

[scenic lotus]

the # is to get amount of thing in table from table

like
print(#workspace:GetChildren())

[static coral]

it is

i have just proved it 3 fucking times

[obsidian ember]

no

[teal quiver]

then why are you???

you are so insecure you said "lil bro"

[static coral]

because i am right

[teal quiver]

what is even the point of arguing here

[copper apex]

That is such a dumb argument 😭

[teal quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-gif-26200966

[static coral]

gang i js proved it 3 times 💔

[obsidian ember]

the key is turned into a hash and the hash comes first in order. so to us it appears to be in alphabetical order

[teal quiver]

that ignores colliding hashes

[obsidian ember]

keys with characters outside the alphabet will also work

[obsidian ember]

well we dont know how the hashing works 🥀

[copper apex]

Exactly

[teal quiver]

im going to end my questioning here since i dont know what hashing method lua uses and it could be just sorting the strings alphabetically while looping

[teal quiver]

or iterating

[copper apex]

So our dictionaries arranged alphabetically or not? U dont know 😭

[obsidian ember]

yes

[copper apex]

Once u guys figure out the hashing u guys will get the answer to this argument

[teal quiver]

im good, that is way too much effort for this useless conversation

[static coral]

correction: it is rearranged in ascending order according to character's asci code

[obsidian ember]

yes

thats what I was looking for

[copper apex]

Yeah

[teal quiver]

good to know

[static coral]

which is technically alphabetic

get dunked on

[copper apex]

Um

[static coral]

😝

[obsidian ember]

its an equal amount not alphabetic but fair

[teal quiver]

so you are just intentionally immature then

[copper apex]

😂

[teal quiver]

also good to know

[static coral]

so i am immature when i have proven you wrong 4 times

u cant accept u are wrong

[obsidian ember]

also arrays and dictionaries are the same in luau

its just tables im p sure

[teal quiver]

????

[static coral]

maybe you should do gardening instead of scripting

[teal quiver]

nvm that phrase sucks

i dont want to use it again

[static coral]

yes

they cross compatible dict is array and array is dict but its not good practice

[obsidian ember]

yeah

Its pretty annoying sometimes

[static coral]

just dont mix them

and u should be fine

[obsidian ember]

I had issues with it where robloxs table serialization turned my array into a dictionary and i had to scratch my head for a long time

[static coral]

wait that gives me an idea

one can simulate proper arrays with buffers

🤯

[obsidian ember]

you can make an array type and call it a day lol

[verbal lodge]

hey

anyone here a bot developer?

[obsidian ember]

no

[verbal lodge]

gg's

[hallow crag]

what bot u tryna make

[verbal lodge]

no I just have an issue with fetching some stuff

I am trying to get it to send picture of peoples roblox profile

like their avatar

in the message

but no matter what I have changed in the logic it is not working lol

[teal quiver]

ok nvm i solved it

it seems to be only ordered when you print

in ascii order

so in conclusion, you are just mean

[obsidian ember]

when i send tables through webhook it appears in random order

wait

json encode the table and see

[static coral]

no

i did next() as well and it returned the first element that it printed

scroll up

you can test with a for loop as well

[teal quiver]

did

a
d
c
b

does that look alphabetic to you

"oh but you do not admit you are wrong"

[obsidian ember]

seems to still be alphabetical

if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck

its prob a duck

[teal quiver]

?????

adcb?

nvm now im becoming insane

i wouldnt want to become like @static coral after all

that thinks a civil argument about dictionaries is competitive

[hallow crag]

yeah not the Snake_case user 💔

[teal quiver]

how is that alphabetic

do you see my point? 😭

[hallow crag]

💀

[obsidian ember]

wait

[teal quiver]

it sorts it in ascii order when printed it seems

[obsidian ember]

json encoding makes it random or am i tripping

[teal quiver]

i dont think pairs or generalized iteration has any order

[obsidian ember]

yeah thats true

why tho

[teal quiver]

also do you guys did you notice the lack of response from @static coral ?

[obsidian ember]

prints in order but doesnt iterate in order

[teal quiver]

first thing i did pretty much

[static coral]

hold on im testing

[teal quiver]

test all you want

im not rushing

[hallow crag]

why dont use just do table[1] = "a"

and then use a for i = loop

[obsidian ember]

i tested with strings first

was quicker to just replace the contents of the string

[hallow crag]

ok

so just do tostring(i)

in the for i = loop

[teal quiver]

how do you get a random ascii character

[obsidian ember]

my point is the json output order is random

[teal quiver]

is there any built in thing for that in luau

or roblox, idk if there is a difference

[hallow crag]

oh whats wrong with that 💔

[obsidian ember]

string.char(math.random(65, ???))

255 i think

[teal quiver]

thanks

[obsidian ember]

well depends what symbols u want

[soft burrow]

change leaderboard on client or server

[hallow crag]

server

[obsidian ember]

change values on server

update visuals on client

[hallow crag]

^^

[obsidian ember]

I sent tables through a discord webhook and it arrives in a random order

its nothing wrong it just

looks weird and is hard to read

Thought I was tripping

[soft burrow]

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ChangeStat = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeStat")

button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    ChangeStat:FireServer("Class", "Flash")
end)
```is this fine? player is auto passed right

[hallow crag]

terrible

[lilac crescent]

Code discussion

[obsidian ember]

yes player is automatically "passed"

[static coral]

ngl i dont think even roblox knows anymore

[soft burrow]

why

its charity work btw

[teal quiver]

ok then why be mean

[obsidian ember]

lowkey not worth the effort to figure out

[hallow crag]

why u telling the server to change a stat just do it fully on the server

[teal quiver]

dont you find it embarrassing

[obsidian ember]

I feel like if it was actually ordered

[soft burrow]

huh

this sends the event to do it on the server

[obsidian ember]

they wouldnt say that iteration order cant be trusted

[hallow crag]

what does it do

?

on the server

[obsidian ember]

there is a high chance when print is called on a table it sorts the values

or when being looped through

i think these are both metamethods you can use yourself

[static coral]

where was i mean

[hallow crag]

no string interpolation in 2025 💔

[soft burrow]

local function changeStat(player, statName, new_value)
    local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
    if not leaderstats then return end

    local stat = leaderstats:FindFirstChild(statName)
    if not stat then return end

    stat.Value = new_value
    print(player.Name .. " changed " .. statName .. " to " .. new_value)

end

[hallow crag]

💀

[soft burrow]

what

[static coral]

its only 2 values

[hallow crag]

1 way ticket to inf money cheats

[obsidian ember]

exploiter wet dream

[static coral]

string interpolation gonna look ugly

[teal quiver]

are you intentionally ignorant now

[soft burrow]

how i fix

[static coral]

r u really offended by ts

[hallow crag]

i said change stat fully on the server no signals

[teal quiver]

?

[obsidian ember]

yeah

[hallow crag]

store the value on the server

[soft burrow]

how would the server know when a button is pressed

[static coral]

my question still stands

[teal quiver]

?

[hallow crag]

u send the signal but store the value it goes up by on the server

dont send the value via the signal

[static coral]

ok i apologize

[soft burrow]

so make different signals for each different class

[hallow crag]

yes

if that works best for u

without passing the value

[soft burrow]

is that not the same thing?

a hacker could activate a different event

[teal quiver]

it's ok but just do not act like this on a subject that is not certain yet

[hallow crag]

cause rn a exploiter can just do ChangeStat:FireServer("Class", "Flash", math.huge)

and get inf currency

[teal quiver]

i could still be wrong but honestly i dont know how it works still

probably unordered

[soft burrow]

what would this third input do

huh??

[hallow crag]

alr

[static coral]

i just tested it and its unpredictable in the screenshot

[hallow crag]

one sec

[obsidian ember]

makes the number infinite

[soft burrow]

my func does not take a third input though

[obsidian ember]

he was just showing example code

[teal quiver]

interesting

[static coral]

its not infinite just very large

[obsidian ember]

yeah but

[teal quiver]

i guess it says inf because every other integer is either equal or smaller

[hallow crag]

dont make a ChangeStat remote

[obsidian ember]

i dont wanna blow his mind

its also not just a large number

[teal quiver]

right?

[soft burrow]

where should i put it then

[hallow crag]

just make the remote specific to what ur doing

[soft burrow]

yeah which is changing the class

[hallow crag]

whatever i looked at ur code it should be fine

its not a currency

my bad

[soft burrow]

wait can they do
ChangeStat:FireServer("money", million dollar)

[hallow crag]

yes

always store values on the server

dont put into remote

[soft burrow]

how can i prevent

[hallow crag]

^^

[teal quiver]

yeah cus of exploiters

[soft burrow]

ooh you saved me

[hallow crag]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/keeping-your-game-secure-part-1-protecting-remotes/2788472

[teal quiver]

and stuff

[hallow crag]

this is good example from the devforum post

-- Server
local reEvent: RemoteEvent = some.path.to.event
local itemPrices: {...any} = {...}

reEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player: Player, itemName: string)
    local itemCost: number = itemPrices[itemName]
    local playerMoney = -- Code to get the player's money

    if playerMoney >= itemCost then
        -- Code to purchase // Give the item
    else
        -- Do nothing here, or tell the player they don't have the money.
    end
end)

u see they are storing the prices on the server

[teal quiver]

wouldnt this make more sense as a remote function, maybe to communicate that it was successful?

[soft burrow]

so what is clientsided that i need to watch out for

lets say i make an enemy give money when killed is that client sided?

[teal quiver]

depends on how you handle it

[hallow crag]

well yes

but dont pass the money amount

in the signal

also have magnitude checks

on the server

[teal quiver]

im confused now

[soft burrow]

wait so you cant stop it

make seperate events for each death i get?

[hallow crag]

u cant stop exploiters from firing a remote no

u just need good serverside protection

[soft burrow]

can you do deaths on server side

[hallow crag]

yeah

[hexed zinc]

any information you receive from the client should prolly assume has been tampered with

[hallow crag]

exactly ^^

[soft burrow]

so how would i do deaths server sided

[slender salmon]

Does anyone know how steal a brainrot would like try to repel cheaters

like im wondering how they would even go about not letting hackers steal something and instantly teleport to their base to claim it

[empty rapids]

Hi can anyone tell me why my debounce isnt working

[teal quiver]

you shouldnt do spawn() because it is already a built in function

for another purpose

[teal quiver]

it could be working right now since you reassigned it but i don't think it is good practice

[teal quiver]

also what is the exact problem?

[empty rapids]

When i touch it sometimes more than 1 limb touch it and i gain multiple points

[teal quiver]

might be because you debounce outside of the if statement

what i meant was the

if humanoid and debounce == false then
  -- your code
end
debounce = false

[empty rapids]

i think that would do nothing because it will run it enable it again anyways when another limb touches it

[teal quiver]

you should add a cooldown then

[empty rapids]

A cool down to the cooldown?

[teal quiver]

if humanoid and debounce == false then
  -- your code
  task.wait(1)
  debounce = false
end

[nova yarrow]

TS is so bad

Not in a rude way but

[somber vault]

nobody asked

[teal quiver]

how is that not rude

😭

[nova yarrow]

Like

Ur making multiple connections

[teal quiver]

they are making multiple coins

[nova yarrow]

So the touch function runs multiple times

[teal quiver]

every second

[nova yarrow]

Then use a coroutine

[somber vault]

https://tenor.com/view/albert-einstein-lol-think-be-smart-think-wise-gif-8735407

[teal quiver]

what?

[empty rapids]

sorry am new to scripting its like my first week but ill get better eventually

[teal quiver]

did you even read the code?

[somber vault]

he's right, this is detrimental

[nova yarrow]

It's good

[somber vault]

i can explain the issue rq
