[lone marsh]

yes

[nova yarrow]

Either u read docs or watch tutorials

Yea

[stone garden]

yes

Look at my memory, you should disconect whenever you dont use fonctions

[floral musk]

EVERYTHING on the docs?

I'm confused on the docs, and everyone is memeing me about tutorials so anything you can contribute, it'll help @nova yarrow

[spark estuary]

everything that you need to solve a certain problem

[floral musk]

so make projects and then use the documentation as an answer key?

[floral musk]

what if I don't know what to look up?

[spark estuary]

yh basically make something -> stumble on a problem -> find solution in the docs

[spark estuary]

search the devforum, usually the answer is just a link for the doc that u need to read

or ask here ig but here its a 50/50

[nova yarrow]

Well i firstly learned off of yt tuts

[floral musk]

which ones

and for how long

[nova yarrow]

I first watched thedevling beginners and advanced series but

I recommend u watch brawldevs beginner and advanced playlist

[glad apex]

Do mini projects

[floral musk]

i watched beginner series but I've also been trying to do mini projects on the side and doing the advanced but everyone says the tutorials are useless

[empty rapids]

no dude brawldev's tutorials are the best he seriously explains stuff better than university doctors

[floral musk]

so send it thru the advanced ones too? I've finished beginner but not gotten much progress on advanced

[empty rapids]

yeah am on episode 8 of the advanced rn

still use the docs and the fourms i use them too

[scenic cove]

can someone give me something to script to improve?

[empty rapids]

whats ur level

[scenic cove]

begginer to intermidiate

[floral musk]

what are some projects you've made

[empty rapids]

try a basic shop system like the one i made here

[scenic cove]

how many total scripts did you use for that?

[empty rapids]

a server script and a local script they could be way shorter but i'm still a beginner

[scenic cove]

alr

ima do it now

[empty rapids]

alr

[empty rapids]

they r all bad lol

[floral musk]

send me in dms

i wanna see still

[empty rapids]

i sent one

[empty rapids]

.

[empty rapids]

check above

[floral musk]

nah other ones

cuz that one is about UI and other things, I wanna see some raw projects of some other thigns you've done ALL by yourself

[twin mesa]

imma try and make that too, i know almost nothing abt gui so i think it will be good practice

[near pasture]

too slow too slow

[floral musk]

wait @empty rapids did u use the forum, brawldev, or docs?

[near pasture]

nice

[empty rapids]

i dont use any when i make a project i keep trying till it works

[floral musk]

type shi

[empty rapids]

Gamign

[floral musk]

wait

so u made that

without any external help?

[empty rapids]

yeah but this is not the final vid wait

turn ur volume down btw

[twin mesa]

damn it really lvls up?

[empty rapids]

i tried to make it levels when u reach level 10 it becomes red cuz red is cool but i stil didnt know how to make it level up with text pop in gui i think i ened to learn tween

[twin mesa]

thats nice

[empty rapids]

ty its nice seeing people who are trying to become better scripters be along

[twin mesa]

yesterday i made this building mechanic but i had some trouble on the orientation of the parts, might try to fix it later (had to cut down the footage cuz i dont got nitro)

[spark estuary]

Saw people hating on ProfileStore and started wondering what are the alternatives besides plain datastores,
whats your preference?

[stone garden]

use streamable.com

[twin mesa]

oooh, thanks

[stone garden]

Profilestore is acualy better than a datastore

[spark estuary]

yea i figured, since its a wrapper it has more features

[scenic cove]

@empty rapids yo how to script gui?

[spark estuary]

i heard about people using firebase (?), wonder if theres any benefits in that

[empty rapids]

wym

[scenic cove]

idk how to make the shop gui appear

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Event = ReplicatedStorage.Purchaed

local ShopGui = StarterGui.ShopGui
local ShopFrame = ShopGui.ShopFrame
local ShopOpenButton = ShopGui.ShopOpenButton

ShopOpenButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    ShopGui.Visible = true
    
end)```

my code

[empty rapids]

did u put a screenGUI?

[scenic cove]

yea

[empty rapids]

wait i think i know why

[scenic cove]

?

[empty rapids]

first is it in a local script inside the screenGUI

[scenic cove]

no

[empty rapids]

thats why

[sacred ore]

bruh

no thats js bc you cannot get startergui

you have to get player gui

[scenic cove]

i did

[sacred ore]

starter gui is server side

you have to go by script.parent

so client side

[twin mesa]

i did mine like this

works fine

[empty rapids]

StarterGui is a template container for gui when the game runs the UI is cloned into each player's PlayerGui So modifying StarterGui at runtime does nothing for what the player actually sees.

[scenic cove]

local Players = game.Players
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Event = ReplicatedStorage.Purchaed

local ShopGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ShopGui")
local ShopFrame = ShopGui:WaitForChild("ShopFrame")
local ShopOpenButton = ShopGui:WaitForChild("ShopOpenButton")

ShopOpenButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    ShopGui.Visible = true
end)```

this good?

[twin mesa]

press the button to open and close it

[sacred ore]

put your local script in the screen gui and say shop gui = script.parent

[scenic cove]

oh nice

[sacred ore]

bc yk the difference between server and client?

[twin mesa]

idk if that was what u wanted but its way simpler

[scenic cove]

yea

[scenic cove]

alr

[sacred ore]

btw, idk if you want this but you should use a tween

[gray junco]

don't use starter gui to reference your UIs, instead use playergui

as a guy said above

the ui get's cloned to the player gui when the player joins the game ( or respawns depending on the configuration for the UI)

to get the player gui, you first need to get the player

[sacred ore]

not really

you can get it by parents

[gray junco]

depends on where the scripts are located

sometimes is easier through the player

[sacred ore]

if you try to get a screen gui, but for a button... just pass by the script.parent

and when you have a lot of ui too

[gray junco]

yea

[cedar flicker]

Its the same 😂

[stone garden]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1170093288989147329/1225607420529610762/attachment.gif

[twin mesa]

took a lot longer than it should, was trying to make the gui look nice

[empty rapids]

thats epic great work

[twin mesa]

thanks

[empty rapids]

[last helm]

hello, is there anyway to load all animations from a folder and play them in startup?

[topaz lodge]

is this to preload?

[last helm]

yep

[topaz lodge]

dont even have to play them, make a localscript in replicatedfirst and use this

local contentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local Animations = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Animations")
local start = os.clock()

warn("Preloading Animations...")
contentProvider:PreloadAsync(Animations:GetDescendants())
warn("Animations Loaded! Time elapsed: ".. (os.clock()-start))

you can remove the time elapsed if u want, i just wanted to see how long my preload times were

or any of the prints

[last helm]

what does this do because it prints that animations are loader but It seems the models don't move

[topaz lodge]

yeah it doesn't play the animations but it preloads them so it doesn't look choppy when first played

[last helm]

oh alright ty but what I look for is to play the animations on startup

[topaz lodge]

alr

[last helm]

I have this folder that contains all animations for models I want them to play on startup I used loop to play each animation individual but it semms it dosen't work

[topaz lodge]

local contentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local Animations = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Animations")
local start = os.clock()
local animations = Animations:GetDescendants()

warn("Preloading Animations...")
contentProvider:PreloadAsync(animations)
warn("Animations Loaded! Time elapsed: ".. (os.clock()-start))

for _, animation in animations do 
   -- play animation here
end

[last helm]

nothing happens the problem isn't from my animation because when I load the animation individually in each model it seems that it works but when I try to load it in a loop it dosen't play

[topaz lodge]

what does your code look like

[gaunt trout]

Ai code🥶

[gaunt trout]

Explain it better

[topaz lodge]

nuh uh

lemme make it look like ai code real quick

-- Define the ContentProvider Service
local contentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
-- Define the folder that contains all the animations
local Animations = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Animations")
-- Variable for time elapsed
local start = os.clock()
-- Store all the animations in a table
local animations = Animations:GetDescendants()

warn("Preloading Animations...")
contentProvider:PreloadAsync(animations)
warn("Animations Loaded! Time elapsed: ".. (os.clock()-start))

was that good

[last helm]

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local models = rs:WaitForChild("Assets"):FindFirstChild("Buildables"):WaitForChild("Models")
local anims = rs:WaitForChild("Animations")

local function play(model)
    local animationController = model:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("AnimationController")
    local animator = animationController:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
    local animFolder = anims:FindFirstChild(model.Name)

    local idleAnim = animFolder:FindFirstChild("Idle")
    local animTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(idleAnim)
    animTrack.Looped = true
    animTrack:Play()
end

for _, model in pairs(models:GetDescendants()) do
    if model:IsA("Model") and model:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("AnimationController") then
        play(model)
    end
end

here is the script that I use to play

[topaz lodge]

local contentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local Animations = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Animations")
local models = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Assets").Buildables:WaitForChild("Models")
local start = os.clock()
local animations = Animations:GetChildren()

warn("Preloading Animations...")
contentProvider:PreloadAsync(Animations:GetDescendants())
warn("Animations Loaded! Time elapsed: ".. (os.clock()-start))

local function play(model)
    local animationController = model:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("AnimationController")
    local animator = animationController:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
    local animFolder = anims[model.Name]

    local idleAnim = animFolder:FindFirstChild("Idle")
    local animTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(idleAnim)
    animTrack.Looped = true
    animTrack:Play()
end

for _, model in pairs(models:GetDescendants()) do
    if model:IsA("Model") and model:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("AnimationController") and animations:FindFirstChild(model.Name) then
        play(model)
    end
end

world's worst code 🙂

on my end ofc

[spark estuary]

yo?

[copper apex]

What is aurora service

[junior star]

who can see what wrong on my code?

[buoyant nova]

promocode: GTS

[spark estuary]

upcoming service

[manic escarp]

how could i make time reversal tool so when you click it brings you back to your postion 3 secounds ago (ACTUALLY HELP ME PLS IM NEW)

[cedar flicker]

Save the position

[manic escarp]

can u help me write it or sumthing

[spark estuary]

you're supposed to ask for suggestions here not to write code for u

[cedar flicker]

Well, that wouldnt help your skills :/

[midnight anchor]

How much would a flight system like this cost?

something like this

not exactly but similar

https://www.tiktok.com/@asmrbarbers/video/7481088476436237614?_r=1&_t=ZT-8xfbR3wvn31

[cedar flicker]

So you just save the player postion from time to time

[manic escarp]

dude just pls currently i cant im stressed

[cedar flicker]

And when he wants to telport back, you get the last saved position

[spark estuary]

just code it urself at a later time then

[cedar flicker]

and teleport him there

[jaunty path]

hi i have an issue with my tweening loading screen, i made it in a fresh baseplate game, then imported it to my main game and the image just doesnt show up, nothing has been changed though

[manic escarp]

can i ask ai?

[jaunty path]

its visible on startergui, when i playtest it just disappears

[spark estuary]

code?

[cedar flicker]

Do what you need to do 😂

[jaunty path]

i dont think code is the issue, it works on the baseplate but it doesnt on the main game

[manic escarp]

yes i just started bro im gonna die trying to fix myself

[cursive trout]

is ui visibilty on?

[jaunty path]

yes everything is on

it works on baseplate, but not in main game

[cursive trout]

hmm

[jaunty path]

i imported everything without touching a thing

[cursive trout]

never had that happen to me before

[spark estuary]

if its visible in startergui it should be visible in game too

[jaunty path]

yes which doesnt make sense why it doesnt appear

[spark estuary]

also u can inspect the properties of gui in Player.PlayerGui

[jaunty path]

okay ill check that out

well i cant check it out because the game is so laggy i cant do shit

cant search anything either it takes an eternity to get results

the tween works, but its just the image doesnt appear for the tween to happen

[spark estuary]

im guessing u're not changing transparency on the image and it doesnt fade in

[jaunty path]

no it works on baseplate

[spark estuary]

weird

[jaunty path]

it just doesnt work on another game when i import it

[spark estuary]

the gui consists of 3 images right?

and only one doesnt show

[jaunty path]

ye three

logo 3 isnt showing, but the rest are

the logo 3 is from toolbox though so that might be the issue?

still wouldnt make sense since its visible in startergui

[copper apex]

Are you getting anything in the output

[spark estuary]

the rest are yours? u could try changing but i never stumbled upon toolbox decals not loading

let me see the code rq

[jaunty path]

well thats another issue i cant really view output, but im searching for errors related to that in output and im not getting shit

[jaunty path]

yeah

[copper apex]

How come

[jaunty path]

i changed icon to another one in toolbox and that didnt work either

[jaunty path]

when you have over 50000 outputs you cant really see which ones are relevant

im trying to get rid of them but lotta work

[copper apex]

When u test the game, look in playergui and click on your image that isnt loading and see if the image transparency is changing

[manic escarp]

can anyone help me create a script that saves the player postion from time to time And when you click with tool you telport back, you get sent back to last saved postion (I KNOW NOTHING)

[spark estuary]

theres a Script Analysis window that shows u issues within ur code globally

[jaunty path]

thats another issue i cant..

[copper apex]

Why not

[jaunty path]

which ine

[jaunty path]

it takes a while to load workspace

[jaunty path]

like in explorer

[jaunty path]

okay thanks

[copper apex]

You dont need to look in workspace

You just need to look in playergui

[jaunty path]

yeah not workspace i meant players

yeah i cant view that either the tween is already done by the time i load it in

load it in as in like

view playergui

[copper apex]

Yeah

[jaunty path]

i can see the tweens working because after that another tween plays

[jaunty path]

how do i clear it>

[copper apex]

Idk maybe the image transparnecy isnt being tweened so id prob check if it is by testing

[spark estuary]

do u remove the gui or something after it's done?

[jaunty path]

i dont know if you read my prior messages, but everything works in a placeholder baseplate, just not in the main game

[spark estuary]

click on the issues it'll send you to the line of the script that has the issue

[copper apex]

I am just giving advice to help debugging

[spark estuary]

but since the other tweens are working it shouldnt be an error or something

[copper apex]

Id be doing prints for it, but since u said you have 5000 in the ouutput, that would be pretty annoying

[jaunty path]

is there a searchbar for the script? i cant see any errors coming from my script specially

[spark estuary]

dont bother its ruled out

[jaunty path]

im actually so confused cuz i gotta rush this loading screen out and its just not working.

[daring echo]

Does anyone know anyone who can make a UI feed tiktok scroll type game like this? https://www.roblox.com/games/11765402359/Clip-It

[spark estuary]

the only thing i can think of besides image transparency is zIndex

maybe the logo is behind the background

[jaunty path]

zinded is 8383

i put it maximum

[spark estuary]

ah

[jaunty path]

its visible in statergui and all

[copper apex]

Your best bet is checking in player gui when testing since thats when its breaking

[spark estuary]

could u do Logo3.ImageTransparency = 0 in the script?

just checking

where u set it to 1

[jaunty path]

yeah i tried that too, but it doesnt do anything

[spark estuary]

dang

okay maybe the game just has settings to prevent toolboxed assets

i dont know much about that

[jaunty path]

okay ill see if i can like download the thing and upload it under me

[spark estuary]

yea do that

[daring echo]

Can someone reccomend me the best scripter in this server?

[jaunty path]

yeah..

that was the issue..

it took me 2-3 days for this fucking simple crap

[spark estuary]

nice

weird that it was visible in studio though

[spark estuary]

happens to the best of us

[warm willow]

yall
any scripter wanna do a game
50% each
must be active fr

[nocturne scaffold]

yo who new tryna make a game w sm1 cuz im new and shi

[jaunty path]

nvm

it only worked once

it broke again i didnt change shit

[spark estuary]

huuhhhh

[jaunty path]

apparently its just me who cant see it my colleagues can see it fine

[spark estuary]

oh

network issue maybeeee?

[jaunty path]

ehh

im not sure

[spark estuary]

or as u said its laggy maybe that could influence it aswell

[midnight anchor]

How much would a flight system like this cost?

https://www.tiktok.com/@asmrbarbers/video/7481088476436237614?_r=1&_t=ZT-8xfbR3wvn31

[jaunty path]

well doesnt make sense since i can see the other tweens fine

[lone marsh]

4- low 5 digits

[midnight anchor]

ok

[weak yoke]

can anyone check out my newest github repo?
https://github.com/timoursfoil/EasyStore

can anyone help me create a script that saves the player postion from time to time And when you click with tool you telport back, you get sent back to last saved postion (I KNOW NOTHING)

[mint cloud]

This is a perfect question for ai

i tried nit helpful

[manic escarp]

where do i put this

and is it a tool

[mint cloud]

It’s not a tool

[cedar flicker]

[manic escarp]

i said a tool

[mint cloud]

Oh

[manic escarp]

could u help me pls ill give u 6 robux

[mint cloud]

It’s not that complicated to change

[manic escarp]

do u even know how or did u use ai

[cedar flicker]

You just need to put the function call in your tool activated event

[mint cloud]

I could do it myself, but was demonstrating that ai can* do it

[manic escarp]

i dont know what that is ill give all robux i have 31

[mint cloud]

It’s a lot faster to get ai to write simple code than to ask a person to do it for free

[cedar flicker]

No thanks haha

[mint cloud]

Trust me bro use ai, just explain clearly what you want

[manic escarp]

i know its bad but i need help man seriously

@mint cloud check dms

[mint cloud]

hi everyone, could someone please send me their portfolio to me, i am new to commissions and trying to create a portfolio. this would help me a lot, thanks!

https://github.com/timoursfoil/EasyStore

[light condor]

chat is this the best way to turn a dictionary into an array and sort it?

[steady bear]

why would you need to do this?

[light condor]

for the reason my font looks like Ronald Mcdonald shit in a bag and threw it at a wall

[misty cloak]

when making sprint should you change walkspeed on server or client

[steady bear]

i think client if i remember

[light condor]

change on the client, it is the best way to handle inputs

[steady bear]

ikr my eyes

[light condor]

you'll see

[cursive flower]

Yoyo can someone help me make a corpse script for my ragdolls? I have an activator and a module

[steady bear]

jesus

[light condor]

thank you, it was my pleasure to throw together the most abominable creation known to man kind

that's my plugin lol

I made it for fun

to test the limits of the creations and human eyes

[steady bear]

pain and suffering can be fun i guess

[light condor]

themes

people can create & publish

the point was to create something absolutely atrocious using it for laughs

for like 2 seconds

and for the screenshot

[steady bear]

also, my main question is why is it unordered in the first place?

[steady bear]

low tier ragebait tbh

[light condor]

It was because I was inserting the GUID into the datastore so duplicates couldn’t be creared

[stiff zinc]

What's a skid

[light condor]

Script kiddie

[stiff zinc]

Why's that bad tf

[static coral]

no offense but ts the ugliest theme ive ever seen 😭

[light condor]

Basically means they are really bad at scripting or pretending to be a scripter when they aren’t

[light condor]

Read my other messages lol

[stiff zinc]

Oh

[static coral]

oh i see

[light condor]

Its only bad in certain context

[steady bear]

to answer your question tho this is pretty standard

[light condor]

Yeah ik I had to come up with something to use the theme as a laughing point.

[stiff zinc]

I wanna learn scripting so bad I'm js bad at physics and shit

[static coral]

you dont need to be amazing at physics or math

[steady bear]

its just puzzle pieces mang
go play factorio and train your head

[static coral]

just know the basic arithmetics and then u should be fine to start learning

main thing is learning how computers work and learning algorithms

[stiff zinc]

Arithmetic

[steady bear]

prioritize reading code over writing it first imo
give yourself something simple to do and work from there
most people write illegible code dont be that guy

[weak yoke]

does script kiddie mean a hacker that just uses mid hacks or inappropriate ones 💀

[static coral]

doesnt help if you read code but dont understand anything

especially as beginner

[steady bear]

if you read books you become a better writer

[weak yoke]

its not really more of reading it but more of understanding it

[stiff zinc]

Man this sounds boring icl

[steady bear]

that was clearly implied
how else are you supposed to read?

[static coral]

if you only speak english but read russian you are wasting your time

[weak yoke]

exactly

[stiff zinc]

Lol

Where do I start is where I'm stuck

[steady bear]

in order to learn a language you literally have to read and reference its meaning
if you are reading a book and you come across a word you dont know how do you approach that problem?
do you look it up like a sane human being?

[static coral]

but this is coding

you wont ever truly know how to do it unless you do it

[weak yoke]

imo most people just skip over it lol

[stiff zinc]

Calm it down guys

[static coral]

that doesnt mean you are learning how to code

you will only truly learn to code if you actually use it

and experiment

my point still stands

i have experienced this myself

[steady bear]

when you read the documentation, or watch a tutorial
you should priortize understanding what theyre are doing as opposed to copying what theyre doing
i am emphasizing understanding over the "just do it" mindset

[stiff zinc]

Where do I start

[light condor]

most script kiddies are typically exploiters yeah

[static coral]

you are not gonna learn how to code by just reading examples, you need to look at examples and read the docs and most importantly actually do it to begin with

otherwise u r not gonna learn it i can guarantee you

[steady bear]

You both are true you can't know how to script if you don't know The syntax and how to use it and where and you also wont learn how to script if you dont apply it

[stiff zinc]

Hi

Help

Where's so I start

[stiff zinc]

Calm

It

[empty rapids]

Pipe down please

You both are true you can't know how to script if you don't know The syntax and how to use it and where and you also wont learn how to script if you dont apply it

[stiff zinc]

Lets all be nice to each other

[steady bear]

bro is mad for no reason
im just trying to help and hes literally arguing with me over nothing
i explained i agree with writing code to a point

[steady bear]

ANYWAYS

[stiff zinc]

Hello bris

[steady bear]

i would advise familiarizing yourself with studios object explorer
familiarize yourself with objects and their properties

[stiff zinc]

Ur discord account is old

[steady bear]

figure out the environment

[stiff zinc]

Alright

[steady bear]

useless

[weak yoke]

sylau

[stiff zinc]

I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing

I've used stufio

[stiff zinc]

Studio

But only for a bit

[weak yoke]

then like

watch a tutorial

or familiarize yourself

[stiff zinc]

Okay

[steady bear]

google roblox documentation

[static coral]

projecting

[weak yoke]

its not that deep unc

[stiff zinc]

I don't just wanna copy someone else's code off a tutorial

[weak yoke]

thats not what i fucking said

[stiff zinc]

Cool

[empty rapids]

I'd say look at alvinblox on youtube until you understand how studio works and then after you think you have got grasp studio learn scripting from BrawlDev

[stiff zinc]

Thank u guys

[empty rapids]

I've learned so much js from him tbh

[steady bear]

i cant link the creator hub but go there, go to learn, start reading, absorbing, youre gonna need to start doing it every day
think in first principles

1. I want to make a brick that bobs up and down
2. learn tweening
3. learn vector3's
4. execute

[stiff zinc]

Cheers

[empty rapids]

I dont think its a good idea to start by learning tweening

[steady bear]

i dont think its a good idea to worry about it

[empty rapids]

If he says he is brand new he wont know variables or printing to begin with

[steady bear]

it was merely an example chief

of first principles thinking

[empty rapids]

Alright mb

i thought you were giving him what he should learn first my fault

[steady bear]

no
thats one of the first things i learned though
it genuinely doesnt matter
just keep doing it

[low nimbus]

If I already learned how to use vector 3 and some tweening what should I learn now

[steady bear]

i made a full procedural solar system generator because i wanted to
take your pick

[unique shadow]

brooo i was in the middle of learning how to script and i found out there is this assistant on ssstudio that does everything for you should i stop learning?

[steady bear]

its called an assistant for a reason

[unique shadow]

ohh

[steady bear]

because its ass

[unique shadow]

true ngl

[empty rapids]

no dont use it actually if i were u i would turn it off its distracting and pops when u are scripting

[low nimbus]

ohh like trying things myself? And should I disable the ai assistant because sometimes it writes a lot of the code

[empty rapids]

Thats like saying i shouldnt learn math cuz there is a calculator

[unique shadow]

true

but i feel like im barely learning from watching youtube videos😭 is there bettr way to learn how to script for roblox?

[weak yoke]

erm actually, learn Position/CFrame 🤓☝️

[empty rapids]

where r u learning from

[unique shadow]

brawldev

[dark kraken]

hey could someone help me with my code

[empty rapids]

What episode r u on

[steady bear]

do not disable the assistant
i encourage people to actually use AI
but every line of code you need to read through and understand EXACTLY what its doing before you copy and paste
if you use it as inspiration over writing code for you and you write it yourself you'll actually remember what goes where

[unique shadow]

Loops - Roblox Beginners Scripting Tutorial #11 (2025)

[weak yoke]

imo
i used chatgpt to start learning scripting and making games w it
by just learning the basic functions with that it is very good to start (but dont keep relying on it)

[low nimbus]

Oh alright thanks for answering

[empty rapids]

If u dont understand it watch it again and each time he introduces a new topic after he finished explaining it before he moves on onto another topic in the same video go and do 3 projects on the topic he introduced

Yeah but i still could see people not being familiar being confused

yeah

[steady bear]

dont get stuck in tutorial hell

[twin mesa]

can anyone explain how could i use module scripts?

like i kinda get the idea of making systems with it but how can i apply it?

[weak yoke]

its like _G and shared but better

its just better for readability and not having to rewrite code a ton

[twin mesa]

bro what 🙏

"Position" 😭

[weak yoke]

?

[light condor]

“Position” 🥀 bro already said Vector3

[weak yoke]

sylau

position is a vector3 but not all vector3 are position

[light condor]

Position is a property which are Vector3’s, more examples being Size, Velocity, Etc.

Also Position can be classed as UDim values

So sylau

[weak yoke]

yeah but when he said learn vector3 he didnt specify position

just all vector3 which encompasses position but doesnt go into it

so sylau

[light condor]

I mean the first thing you see when you pull up the dev forum or any help forum, chances are it will tell you the type relating to the property.

[weak yoke]

??? no

[light condor]

Also I just looked up Vector3 and the first example is changing a parts position so it doesn’t matter idk

[naive kiln]

Anyone know some cracked scripters fh

[manic escarp]

can anyone help me create a script that saves the player postion from time to time And when you click with tool you telport back, you get sent back to last saved postion (I KNOW NOTHING) TIME REVERSEAL TOOL

[nova yarrow]

Nah

[sleek lantern]

how do i toggle this blue line

[weak yoke]

????

[cursive flower]

Can sm1 help me with a corpse script pls? I already gotvthr ragdoll stuff done. Here's my activator

[weak yoke]

From my experience it means you pasted into it but idk

[nova yarrow]

Position isnt necessarily a vector3

Vector3 can be interpreted as orientation or position

[weak yoke]

Do you mean CFrame

[nova yarrow]

Same as CFrane

Like I said

[weak yoke]

Because position is a vector3

I think it might be a udim2 aswell but im not sure

[nova yarrow]

Wtv bro nice bait

[weak yoke]

Position is a vector3, cframe is orientation and position

Nice bait but try harder next time

Link33d

Sylau

Good boy

🫩🫩

[weak yoke]

Ask ai unc

[nova yarrow]

Slow asl

Position can be UDim2, Vector2/3, CFrame

Vector3 can be used for orientation and position

Hello everyone,
I’m planning to use the new (beta) Roblox API (apis.roblox.com) to manage group roles directly from inside the game.
Is there a real risk that Roblox might change or break this API without warning? And if that happens, would it be hard to adapt everything later?

I could fall back to the old API (groups.roblox.com), but I’d rather avoid dealing with cookies that expire and constantly need updating.

Source: devforum.roblox. com/t/group-ranking-with-roblox-opencloud/3763957

What do you recommend?

[crude quarry]

thats a risk with any API

[weak yoke]

Nice bait, but try harder next time 🫩😮‍💨

[round yoke]

does anyone know why this happens i cant seem to figure it out (same thing happens on a mobile device) you cant move normally or jump

[digital swallow]

But which of the 2 methods do you trust more? Which one should I follow?

[crude quarry]

I like smaller API developers who are more reliable than a coporation who cant even fix their own problems

[digital swallow]

and what solution do I have to not depend on the Roblox api? is there a third, more reliable way?

[digital swallow]

Do you know a safe way to update group member ranks automatically?

[brittle token]

how do i even learn how to code

[crude quarry]

Learn tbe basics through tutorials and then start making stuff

[crude quarry]

What do you mean safe apis are just requests to external servers to commits actions you set up

[autumn venture]

Hey so quick question, if I wanted a global event system, for example a night event happens across all servers at once, do I need a master server? one that determines when events happens if so, how should I pick which server gets to be the master server?

[glass garden]

You can use os.time() on the server to get a stable unix timestamp that will be the same across all servers. So, assuming you can find a way to schedule the event with a unix timestamp, it's pretty easy

[autumn venture]

Well basically how I have it set up, every 15 minutes a chance is rolled for an event, as I have several events. Does that mean I need some 3rd party software for scheduling said events?

[glass garden]

Maybe. Or just reseed the rng with some rounded down multiple of the current timestamp so that all the servers "roll" with the same rng state

[autumn venture]

Isnt there a way to do it with messagingservice?

Have a "Master Server" to be designated to decide when to start events

[glass garden]

Yes, but:

1. MessagingService does not guarantee delivery
2. Deciding master server is difficult

[oblique halo]

is coding better with or without music?

[autumn venture]

Because using OS.Time() would make events pretty predictable over time

[glass garden]

You could also use memorystores & have all the servers periodically check it

[errant elm]

wright brothers moment (more like 737-max tbh)

[autumn venture]

still would need either a master server or 3rd party to handle it

[errant elm]

idk if i have it in me to implement auto-trim today 😔

[bold beacon]

Do y'all know how to make it so in first person when I load an animation the camera stays with the player head?

[frail yarrow]

Roblox already implemented this

[shy crystal]

can someone tell me how to make it so a model moves instead of a humanoid. local function NPCMove(NPC)
for i = 1,#workspace.CheckPoints:GetChildren(),1 do
local CheckPointNumber = 1

    NPC.humanoid:MoveTo(workspace.CheckPoints["CheckPoint"..CheckPointNumber].Position)
                
    NPC.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function()
            CheckPointNumber += 1
            
        if CheckPointNumber == #workspace.CheckPoints:GetChildren() then
            NPC:Destroy()
        else
            NPC.humanoid:MoveTo(workspace.CheckPoints["CheckPoint"..CheckPointNumber].Position)
        end
    end)
end

end

[sacred ore]

model:PivotTo(cframe)

[sacred ore]

or if you want him to walk then use pathfinding service idk

[sudden estuary]

messaging service has delivering issues?

[autumn venture]

What?

Elaborate?

[crude quarry]

I dont know what I did but that looks awesome

[oblique halo]

is this actually multiplying 0.01 by clicks? clicks is a number variable and i dont think this is working but idk how else i would do it

[crude quarry]

its adding 0.01 and multipying whatever clicks is

I forget if lua uses pemdas

[oblique halo]

i dont think it does

[crude quarry]

if it doesnt then it would go from right to left

[oblique halo]

would this work

my goal is that if clicks is 5 for example then its adding 0.05

[crude quarry]

so
if click == 5 then
your equation
end

[oblique halo]

but clicks could pretty much be any number

i have one more idea ill try

[wispy jay]

anyone please help me with CFrame:Inverse() I get that it it returns a cframe which when multiplied to the original gives a identity matrix of CFrame.new() but what are its other usecases?

[tidal vale]

you could use it to mirror objects

[wispy jay]

how so?

[crude quarry]

local lightPart = script.Parent
local SpotLight = lightPart.SpotLight


for i, v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren(SpotLight)) do
    while true do
        task.wait(0.1)
        if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() > 6 * 60 then
            lightPart.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
            SpotLight.Enabled = true
        end
        if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() < 18 * 60 then
            lightPart.Material = Enum.Material.Plastic
            SpotLight.Enabled = false
        end
    end
end
``` Im trying to redo this script which would get the light it was attached to and turn it on or off after a certain time. I wanna get the children of all the workspace and all models to find them so I can just use 1 script instead of 10 million

[wispy jay]

yes I get that but

the onlyuse case it has is when the rotation of A is the same as rotation of B

[tidal vale]

maybe inverse and get the orginal and * it by certain axis

[crude quarry]

Never mind I'll turn this into a function and use a module script

[wispy jay]

Part1.CFrame = Part0.CFrame * Motor6D.C0 * Motor6D.Tramsform * Motor6D.C1:Inverse()

Like check this out

how is :Inverse() being used here?

[tidal vale]

so cframe.new(smth.x, smth.y, smth.z) * cframe.new(inverse.x, inverse.y, 0) and that could mirror a part using smth

[wispy jay]

ahh right

let me try rq

Ah right! it works

thanks!

[oblique halo]

someone please help idk why this code doesnt work everything works up until the humanoid dies

local playerClicked = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").playerClicked

playerClicked.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    local Humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    local size = player.leaderstats:WaitForChild("Size")    
    size.Value += 1
    print("The players leaderstat has been updated!")
    
    Humanoid.HeadScale.Value += 0.01
    Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value += 0.01
    Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value += 0.01
    Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value += 0.01
    
    player.Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
        task.wait(5)
        local scaleFactor = 0.01
        local scaleAmount = scaleFactor * size.Value
        
        Humanoid.HeadScale.Value += scaleAmount
        Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value += scaleAmount
        Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value += scaleAmount
        Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value += scaleAmount
        
        print("The player's size has been restored")
    end)
end)

[brittle token]

try deleting the ( infront of the function

[wispy jay]

so disconnect Humanoid.Died after its called

[oblique halo]

what does that mean to put the code outside of the first function

[wispy jay]

no

local playerClicked = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").playerClicked

playerClicked.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    local Humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    local size = player.leaderstats:WaitForChild("Size")    
    size.Value += 1
    print("The players leaderstat has been updated!")
    
    Humanoid.HeadScale.Value += 0.01
    Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value += 0.01
    Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value += 0.01
    Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value += 0.01
    local conn
    conn = player.Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
        task.wait(5)
        local scaleFactor = 0.01
        local scaleAmount = scaleFactor * size.Value
        
        Humanoid.HeadScale.Value += scaleAmount
        Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value += scaleAmount
        Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value += scaleAmount
        Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value += scaleAmount
        
        print("The player's size has been restored")
        conn:Disconnect()
        conn = nil
    end)
end)```

[oblique halo]

thank you ill try it

what does disconnect do though

code doesnt work

[wispy jay]

so when this event fires: playerClicked.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)

everytime, lua is creating a new player.Character.Humanoid.Died event that fires without stopping. That is why, we need to disconnect ones the humanoid.Died is fired

[wispy jay]

what's the issue?

[oblique halo]

ohhh okay

[wispy jay]

what you can do is:
instead of task.wait(5)
you can check for player.CharacterAdded
like: player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

[oblique halo]

so its a growing game and you grow by clicking and when you die you are supposed to get your size back and its printing that the size is restored but my character is still small

[wispy jay]

and wait until humanoid

[oblique halo]

oo i have an idea thank you

[brittle token]

after the red end put the code after that

[oblique halo]

im not sure how i would get my variables back though like player

[brittle token]

call the function again or do a loop i think

im new to coding so im just using life common sense not coding common sense so sorry if im wrong

[oblique halo]

its okay im kinda new too

[brittle token]

yea i just started coding like an hour ago

ive been using roblox studio for like around a year

[oblique halo]

wow were you building the whole time or what

[brittle token]

that and modeling and then i took a big break for a few months because my arm broke

[oblique halo]

oh wow

i also used to model and took a break but my arm did not break

[brittle token]

nice

[tidal vale]

why doesnt this work? it should be printing left click if its on the left hand and left click, and so should the other one. but once i press right click, it just wont allow left click to be printed

local

    event:FireServer(mouse.Target.Parent, false)
end)

mouse.Button2Down:Connect(function()
    event:FireServer(mouse.Target.Parent, true)
end)```
server
```    elseif buttonData then
        local button = buttonData.Instance
        local handEquipped = buttonData.Equipped
        local item = buttonData.Item
        
        if rc and handEquipped == "Right" then
            print("right click"..item.Name)
        elseif not rc and handEquipped == "Left" then
            print("left click"..item.Name)
        end
    end```

[crude quarry]

are you not showing the rest of the server script?

[tidal vale]

    if not item then return end
    
    local char = plr.Character
    
    
    local hrp = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

    
    
    
    local hotbar = toolfunc.getHotbar(plr, UniversalHotbar_Table)
    local grip : Motor6D = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")["RightGrip"]
    local buttonData = toolfunc.getButtonData(hotbar, nil, true) 
    ```

not much else

found the solution

[oblique lintel]

learning loops did i cook

[mint cloud]

Can’t read anything in blue 😭

[oblique lintel]

is it that hard to see😂

[mint cloud]

Yes

[oblique lintel]

what colors you use then ill change it

[mint cloud]

I don’t use colors

Because I don’t script 🗿

[oblique lintel]

then why you in code discussion 😂

[mint cloud]

The vibes

I CAN code(kinda) I just don’t

[somber vault]

can you clone a players humanoid description

and transfer it to a rig

[oblique lintel]

do what!?

[somber vault]

players have like their own humanoid description right

can. u copy it onto a rig

is that possible

[mint cloud]

I’m pretty sure

[oblique lintel]

bro iv actual been scripting for weeks but just went back to watch all the vids again to get better

[somber vault]

how do u do it

ive read the documentation and it doesnt work

[mint cloud]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/how-do-i-use-getapplieddescription/2949776

[oblique lintel]

go to #code-help

[mint cloud]

That is not a good idea

[oblique lintel]

also im on events yayayyay

[somber vault]

#code-help channel is ageplay channel rn

[oblique lintel]

should i try to get my scripting badge

or the role

[dark coral]

nuh uh

[snow oasis]

#code-discussion vs #code-help

[mint cloud]

Geeked vs locked in

[mint cloud]

Neither, make a game

[crude quarry]

#code-help is if you just wanna get shit on

[snow oasis]

u gotta pull up prepared to be made fun of for your answer

[crude quarry]

learn by asking question
give up and make someone else code

[near pasture]

This is the method

[near pasture]

wtf?

[hallow crag]

terrible syntax highlighting and u dont need the 2nd comma and the 1

[crude quarry]

why are you using the cancer blue

[oblique lintel]

what color should i use

[crude quarry]

anything else

make it either a darker blue or lighter blue

[hallow crag]

use the "Extra 2" color preset

[oblique lintel]

uhhh okay

[crude quarry]

He means this

[oblique lintel]

okay

at least i got the dark mode right

did it

is this like what all scripters use 😂

also is random import

needed

[crude quarry]

Nah I use this

[sullen fox]

default is the best

[peak cipher]

Is there a way to track if someone tries to edit the script, add new code, or move any blocks?

[hallow crag]

coroutine.wrap in 2025 vro 💔

just use task.spawn

[crude quarry]

I just pulled it from the forum

[hallow crag]

also why u using pairs

just use general iterator

[hallow crag]

that code is ass

its terrible resource wise

ur creating a new while loop for every part

[crude quarry]

yes

[hallow crag]

just add a tag to every part

and create 1 loop

that does everything

[crude quarry]

or I could not

cuz idk how

[hallow crag]

so u cant script?

[crude quarry]

yall use dumb coder terms

I aint about that life

I just code

[hallow crag]

u said u pulled that code from devforum

[crude quarry]

correct

[hallow crag]

so u copy and paste code

thats different

[crude quarry]

I copied the loop

[hallow crag]

and failed to notice its terrible performance wise

[crude quarry]

if it works it works

[hallow crag]

💔

[crude quarry]

if it needs to be improved i'll find a way

[hallow crag]

not a good mentality but alright

[crude quarry]

okay if it doesnt work I wont touchit

[hallow crag]

just learn how to use tags and CollectionService

trust

its a life saver

[crude quarry]

is that assigning the parts to a new collection then looping thrpugh that collection for the function

[hallow crag]

💔

ur just adding a "tag" to a part

[crude quarry]

I know what a collection is but idk what the tag part is

[hallow crag]

lets same its named "TimedLight"

and then COllectionService will get all the parts with the tag "TimeLight"

when u pass it to CollectionService:GetTagged()

[sullen fox]

it returns the instance(s)

as a array

[crude quarry]

so you're just looping and adding them to a collection

[hallow crag]

?????

bro just go read the docs

[crude quarry]

are you good bro I know what it is

[hallow crag]

then why not use it

[hallow crag]

this code looks like it was written 5 years ago

[crude quarry]

cuz I havent looked at how its done yet

[hallow crag]

and by a terrible scripter

[crude quarry]

ew 40 lines

I got it to work in 18

I found one that I can actually understand

[somber vault]

checking every 0.1 seconds is not ideal for optimization

[oblique lintel]

finshed brawl devs bigger series

[weak radish]

well done, if you weren't coding as you watched the video you aren't gonna remember anything

[oblique lintel]

i did

iv been codeing for weeks but rushed alot so i knew alot but didnt if that make some since

[weak radish]

is it local or server

[crude quarry]

server you dont want lights changing local unless you're making schizophrenia game

[oblique lintel]

so i finshed the thing what do i do now

[somber vault]

what will you do now

[oblique lintel]

idek

make a game or be hireable ig

kinda did this for fun ngl

[somber vault]

can't you just do task.delay() and wait a calculated time in seconds then you turn on the lights instead of all this bloat

you're doing all this every 60 seconds when you could yield a thread for a calculated time and do it once

[weak radish]

If it's server why do you check every 60 seconds how many seconds after midnight, just calculate how long it will take to get to that time and run a while wait loop

[crude quarry]

because it may not be the same everytime

I may end up changing the time of day later on

or I may make the days last longer who knows

[oblique lintel]

wait what are you even trying to do

[weak radish]

if you used a calculation it would still work

[weak radish]

it will unless you alter it and in that case you can simply factor it in

[weak radish]

that wouldn't change anything with a calculation

🥀

i forgot how to do team spawn locations

🥀

[south iron]

ask copilot (if you are a noob)

know what guys

i forget to save my game now im doing the donation table again

i swear i made these games before

[thorn arch]

That's what variables are for

[random pike]

light mode...

[south iron]

the Variables are everywhere

[hallow crag]

pairs 💔

[crude quarry]

whats your issue with pairs

[near ocean]

CollectionService:GetTagged returns an array like table which is also a sequential array, so ipairs is more ideal

[hallow crag]

pointless to even call it in the first place

just do for i,v in tbl do

[wispy shale]

ikr

[supple warren]

doesn't matter

im better

[jade marlin]

I read a comparison in the forums once, inputting the table directly is still faster

[tribal whale]

Guys im new to coding and im watching a tutoria but it only focuses on using print with others mechanics like loops or funcions, do you think i need to change tutorials or just stick with this?

[jade marlin]

It's likely fine you still have to practice and not only watch though

[crude quarry]

you need to know print loop and espically functions

[tribal whale]

ty for the help 🙂

[short delta]

i start coding like 5 minutes ago and i try to change the color of my grass by making it black with a script please help

[tepid horizon]

use thedevking series

[short delta]

im using it but he didnt said how to change color

[tepid horizon]

first replace the first line with
local Grasspart = workspace.Stroke.Grass

[short delta]

hum ok

[tepid horizon]

then if you wanna set color to a part you would do
Grasspart.Color = Color3.new() -- you put color value in here

[short delta]

okay thanks

[tepid horizon]

if you click between the brackets you can choose a color

[short delta]

thanks

[tepid horizon]

rainbow button

👍🏿

[short delta]

so if i actually well understand local function is like local but u can do more thing like a group?

[glad apex]

local just exists because its faster

local number = 5 is faster than number = 5

سلام

[lost turtle]

im using it and im at 16th video

[hallow crag]

eww Color.new

just use Color.fromRGB

[tribal whale]

im using brawldev series

[hallow crag]

ofc u are

💔

[tribal whale]

is it bad?

im just new and it was the first not 3 hours tutorial that i found

[lost turtle]

use thedevking

[hallow crag]

all scripting tutorials are ass

[lost turtle]

nah

[hallow crag]

yeah

[lost turtle]

thedevking is best one

[hallow crag]

personally i didnt learn luau from tutorials

just read docs and practice urself

with tutorials all ur doing is copying code

[tribal whale]

ill just finish brawldevs i just have 2 videos then ill do a simple game and then ill use the devking one

[hallow crag]

not learning

[lost turtle]

thedevking teaching and say practice

i learn over 16 things

[tribal whale]

ur insane

[hallow crag]

thedevking tutorials are ancient vro

hes using depricated functions

in his code

[lost turtle]

vro he teaching good

[hallow crag]

yes but the code he uses is old vro

[lost turtle]

then from where i learn lua vro

[tribal whale]

isnt it eny good tutorial but new?

[hallow crag]

docs and api ref vro

[lost turtle]

its making me get bored vro

[hallow crag]

thats why u practice and use the docs and api ref to assist u vro

instead of copying code vro

[lost turtle]

im not copying code vro

[hallow crag]

yeah u r from tutorials vro

[lost turtle]

he teaching and i understand then i get idea to make vro

[hallow crag]

u aint learning shit vro

[lost turtle]

(practiceing)

[lost turtle]

i did learn shit vro

[hallow crag]

thats not practicing its copying

vro

[lost turtle]

are u ed ? vro

he teaching and say how this is works vro

[hallow crag]

make ur own shit vroo

[lost turtle]

then i do thing my own

[lost turtle]

i did vro

[hallow crag]

yeah gl with learning luau vro

💔

[tribal whale]

how can you learn using docs thats actually crazu

crazy

[hallow crag]

previous programming knowledge

i already kinda knew the syntax

it was just learning the api functions and how the game engine works

[keen lynx]

yo

so i got this leaderstats money gui script

currencySymbol = "$",
startingMoney = 5000, -- < Starting amount for new players >
visibleLeaderstats = true, -- < Show/hide leaderstats >

    leaderstatWalletName = "Wallet", -- < Wallet stat name (changing this resets player data) >
    leaderstatBankName = "Bank", -- < Bank stat name (changing this resets player data) >

and this is my weaponstore gui script

Settings.CurrentcySetting = {
Leaderstats = "Wallet",
Cash = "Cash",
Symbol = "$"
}

is everything right?

[tardy ruin]

just use ai

[thorn arch]

Where did you snatch this code from?

[thorn arch]

[hallow crag]

this guy is ragebaiting

btw

[elfin timber]

how do i sort a table with only numbers from highest to lowest

[hallow crag]

table.sort(numbers, function(a, b)
    return a > b
end)

[elfin timber]

thanks, i thought there was an easier way tho ngl

[hallow crag]

nah

this is easy tho

[elfin timber]

true

[hallow crag]

if u want lowest to highest u can just do table.sort(numbers)

but if u want to reverse it then u gotta use custom sorting

[elfin timber]

can i insert multiple variables at once into a table? like lets say i have local r, local g, local b and i want to insert these

do I use for loop?

[hallow crag]

just do this? {r, g ,b}

lol

[elfin timber]

ohh alr thanks

[hallow crag]

or u can also do table.pack(r, g, b)

but kinda pointless

lol

[primal rune]

Why are u using global vars?

[chilly bobcat]

hey

[thin crater]

is memorystoreservice the best way to handle in game economies

like cross server type stuff

[chilly bobcat]

@dark wraith hiii

[dark wraith]

hello

did something happen

[supple warren]

i had some problem to solve

but when i started typing it

it got solved

[dark wraith]

alr

[glass garden]

Sorry for late reply. It's just the design of the service. From the docs: "Delivery is best effort and not guaranteed. Make sure to architect your experience so delivery failures are not critical."

[sudden estuary]

oh I never noticed that I had made those "master server" type systems in the past, glad that I never put it into a game

[keen scarab]

sup

[stiff cliff]

hi there does anyone know if boolvalues have an effect on all users in the server? Basically what I did was make it so that local scripts talk to each other where if a user is running, then it'll change the boolvalue to true, and if a user is hitting, the sprinting boolvalue turns false. I was just wondering if this could possibly have an effect on all users being in the server (located in replicated storage)

[lone marsh]

if modified by local script then no

[peak sphinx]

he already is, thats why hes asking if its correct

[near ocean]

Awesome you saved 5 frames worth of time cycling through a list! 😲

[jade marlin]

that's good actually

less things to type And more performance

🔥🔥🔥

[near ocean]

No

Ipairs is slightly faster than pairs(0 when used on sequential numeric keys

so what you said doesnt even make any sense

[jade marlin]

I suggest you re read our conversation as I won't benefit by restating it at all, Godspeed

[lone marsh]

we still using ipairs and pairs in 25?

[near ocean]

No thanks

[near ocean]

yes

[jade marlin]

That's fine, to each their own

[near ocean]

Dont care

[glass garden]

just use general iteration

[weak yoke]

wait if people dont then what do you use over it 😭

[lone marsh]

for index, value in table do end

[sly plover]

what did i do wrong?

[weak yoke]

wait
so like

for number, data in {
[1] = "tuah" }
do

?

[lone marsh]

can do that

[weak yoke]

so like a universal pairs/ipairs

what about using Instance:GetChildren()?

[lone marsh]

whats the issue

[lone marsh]

that returns an array of children

[sly plover]

oh wrong ss

[weak yoke]

hmm okay

[sly plover]

what did i do wrong

[cunning obsidian]

can someone help me fix this

[lone marsh]

Units is a string

[weak yoke]

unc im sorry but why is it "UnCommon" and not "Uncommon"

[sly plover]

fair enoughb

[weak yoke]

also ronarudo

can you check out my github repo (i need feedback)

[lone marsh]

forsure

[weak yoke]

https://github.com/timoursfoil/EasyStore

its just a datastore manager like profilestore except easier to use

[lone marsh]

check tutorial on how to make killbricks it will help u in completing this

[sly plover]

so howw do i fix

[lone marsh]

whatever is using this function is sending a string as 2nd arg

[weak yoke]

are you calling it from a remoteevent

idk

is player meant to be a string?

[cunning obsidian]

local GamepassID = 1296445377 -- Replace with your Gamepass ID
local GamepassDoor = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Hand From Heaven Gamepass Door") -- Change GamepassDoor to whatever your part is called which will open

local function checkGamepass(Player)
return game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId, GamepassID)
end

local function openDoorForPlayer(player)
if checkGamepass(player) then
GamepassDoor.Transparency = 0.8 -- You can adjust the transparency here
GamepassDoor.CanCollide = false
end
end

while true do
openDoorForPlayer(game.Players.LocalPlayer)
wait(3) -- Wait for 3 seconds before checking again if the player has the gamepass.
end

bro mind fixing it pls

[weak yoke]

bro
try to figure it out urself

its really not that hard

[cunning obsidian]

idk i cant script

i found this on yt

[lone marsh]

learn about

".Touched" event first

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/BasePart#Touched

[weak yoke]

can UserOwnsGamePassAsync be called on client even 💀

[lone marsh]

yeah

[weak yoke]

oh i thought it couldnt

[lone marsh]

@weak yokebtw

[weak yoke]

?

[lone marsh]

when adding gold why did u use Set when you made Increment

[weak yoke]

lol i made increment like last second and i didnt feel like updated the manager

[lone marsh]

ngl i barely work with datastores so i couldnt tell you much

[weak yoke]

i changed it lol

[weak yoke]

me too, i usually use profilestore but i wanted to see what it was like to make ur own

tbh the most difficult thing was working for all the settings at the top 😂

[dense iris]

Is anyone good with custom morphs/custom rigs here? I really need help fixing mine

[lone marsh]

im not but wsp

[chilly bobcat]

i want to talk to you

[midnight wigeon]

yo 😃

[azure roost]

is there a scripter that take game %? it's for an huge rpg game project

i need a scripter ASAP

pls ;-;

cuz the game has arleady almost everything done except the script

[crude quarry]

That's like 90% of the game

You're not even close to done

[zenith turret]

guys how many impressions can i get in 150 ad credits ? @everyone

????????????????????????/

[autumn venture]

scripting is the most time consuming and hardest and most expensive part of developing a game

and very few to no advanced scripters take a percentage

only brand new scripters with bad code do percentage

[azure roost]

k

but where should i go looking then?

cuz it's the 4 serv that i ask the same question

;-;

[autumn venture]

nowhere

pay some robux

then scripters will talk to you

[azure roost]

how much should be a great start?

for a payment

in robux and in paypal

[autumn venture]

for a whole game? 100k robux easily or over 1k USD

For someone like me at least with multiple years of experience

[azure roost]

k

wait wanna see the game?

i mean the progress

of it

[autumn venture]

I guess

[azure roost]

and we've got the first clothing done

[hushed idol]

I dont mean to rehash cause this is kind of similar to what slimys talking abt but i was wondering how much a full game dev for smth like a visual novel would cost. I ask cause idk if itd be different.

Its got no real player to player interactions its more just like a story persay

[hushed idol]

I wanna be fair tho so dont hold back

[rancid ginkgo]

what does this error mean. can anyone help

[sly plover]

you stupid

[lone marsh]

LoadAnimation not loadanimation

[rancid ginkgo]

ty

[dark wraith]

then dm me

[copper creek]

is this code good

[copper creek]

thid code is for wave system(tds)

[neat turret]

if it works

it works

thats kinda what you just need to care about

as long as job is done its fine

[scenic lotus]

and well organize

so it can be easy to edit or fix

[lost yoke]

there a little bit more to it

you can have code work and not be good

[neat turret]

tbh if its good enough no need to bother more

thats the hard lesson i learnt

very few code requires to be perfect

[lost yoke]

i would still avoid spaghetti code

or memory leaks

sure if ur making a bad project its fine but for anything quality wise u need to make sure to optimize and organize for updates

[neat turret]

tbh after some point you just start to make game mostly optimized from get go

when coding

[lost yoke]

therell always b room to improve

[neat turret]

how do you feel about using ai to add descriptive comments to code you write

[lost yoke]

ehhhhhh i try to avoid ai for anything besides image generation

occassionally ill talk to it to bounce game ideas off of

[neat turret]

i generally use it like this

[lost yoke]

im wary of that bc ai does not know how to code well

which means its comments will be subpar

[neat turret]

i do check the comments

to see if it done it wrong

tbh gemini 2.5 pro is fine at commenting code

not good enough to write but it understand it

mostly

still i have to commnet my code myself

for application

[hallow crag]

ass comments

aint gonna lie

just remove them atp

[rare bronze]

Who even needs comments tbh

[hallow crag]

real

[median stone]

can anyone help with a badge awarding system where if the right thing is said in chat, a badge gets awarded? idk anything about badge awards

[prisma anchor]

What are the best videos that actually teach you, like explain every bit of code and hwo it works. Im looking to progress as I mostly know the basics of ua

[median stone]

go through brawl devs tutorials, very good and slow

[brittle token]

no way bro i just did that

im working on changing properties using scripts rn

[median stone]

oh nice

[brittle token]

also use the documentation for roblox studio

[prisma anchor]

Ahh yeah this was the guy I was looking for

[nova yarrow]

Does anyone have popular dev servers besides hd and rd

[brittle token]

idk why but unify devs and roblox dev community are good
