[sterile gazelle]

maybe use'

for i, v in ipairs(children) do
local instancesToClone = v:Clone()
instanceToClone.P -- do stuff
end)

[ionic solstice]

does anyone know how to make the default inventory system not look dumb and not blocky

[somber vault]

add this to the one i already got?

[ionic solstice]

that is the same thing

[sterile gazelle]

just clone a template UI slot you made for each item in your backpack

[somber vault]

when i remove the v:Clone().P and replace it ti shows even more errors

[ionic solstice]

ok

[south iron]

here an fixed example

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

-- iterate through your template values
for _, v in ipairs(script.PlayerValues:GetChildren()) do

-- clone and parent to the player
local clone = v:Clone()
clone.Parent = player

end

end)

[sterile gazelle]

.P doesnt exist in luau

[somber vault]

oh ok

thx everyoen it works now

[south iron]

no problem

guys know what

I made these games before

guys rate my game 1/10

[wide sparrow]

yn 💔

[maiden otter]

whats the concept?

[deft oar]

    print("hi")
    return "Awesome"
end```
I dont really understand what is return for ?

[peak jolt]

local result = hi()
print(result) --will put "Awesome" in the output

[wide sparrow]

awesome like aawesome

[deft oar]

oh ok ty

[solar jackal]

i have multiple moving parts and i wanna check when the parts are in range of a POI but im not sure how to do that without lagging out the server, could anyone give me some advice?

[gusty solar]

making conversation systems is so weird, handling events, when you get a certain dialogue and when you don't is just a headache

[peak jolt]

it literally wont lag the server unless you go to thousands

it just wont

loop through all parts and check the distance

[gusty solar]

is this rage bait

[gusty solar]

can we ban chatgpt code

[deft oar]

what is the difference between = and ==

[gusty solar]

...

[gusty solar]

= is used to set, == is used to compare

[deft oar]

okk ty !

[sick holly]

someone knows if there is a roblox method to do this? putting the relative position of the main model childs from the main model for the humanoidrootpart

[sick holly]

no tengo muy claro que quieres hacer pero. Debounces[Humanoid] = true, se te olvido el =, luego arriba cuando le asignas valor a Humanoid en los FindFirstrChild escribiste mal el String de Humanoid y has puesto Hitbox:Destory en vez de destroy

[somber vault]

Te lo agradezco

[thick seal]

this code runs through all the descendants of an altered object and restores the properties of the same descendant in a set original object, is there a more effecient way of doing this? like maybe running for loops in parallel through both objects but i dont know how to do that so please enlighten me <3

local Altered_object = workspace.Object
local Original_object = workspace.Object_Copy

for i1,v1 in ipairs(Altered_object:GetDescendants()) do
    print(v1)
    for i2, v2 in ipairs(Original_object:GetDescendants()) do
        if i2==i1 then 
            --sets altered object to original object's properties
            print(v2) 
        break end
    end
end

[glass maple]

How do I scale a GUI for mobile and pc because AnchorPoint just anchors the location, but it's still massive on a phone?

[graceful delta]

Don't use offset. Use size.

[glass maple]

so Size will also change according to the screen size right?

[graceful delta]

Size scales it based on the device's screen.

[hardy pilot]

Aw geez, thanks error maker.
I'll go ahead and fix this super ambiguous error

[glass maple]

ok thanks

[graceful delta]

Offset will change it based on what you set it as and will always remain that size.

[graceful delta]

Remember, Size only goes from 0-1, 1 being covering 100% of the screen.

[glass maple]

Noted

[thick seal]

offset is by pixel which also means that things will look different depending on the screen resolution which is important to note cus on pc some people play on windowed and some people prefer fullscreen

[hidden thorn]

the output and result

[graceful delta]

Need some help. Got a loading screen that stops the game from running until all the objects in "Workspace" are loaded. It uses the "GetDescendants" function. The same script also fixes the camera to a certain position once everything is loaded. However, the loading process for some reason doesn't load individual parts and selectively loads others. What did I do wrong?

[hardy pilot]

You seem to have misunderstood what PreloadAsync does

PreloadAsync yields and prioritizes asset contents
So for example the contents of an animation, image or a mesh

It does not guarantee that the GetDescendants call done before it will actually return a table with everything

[hardy pilot]

use game:IsLoaded and game.Loaded before attempting to preload content since it makes sure all initial instances exist

but you shouldn't do this at all

[graceful delta]

I got this through following the dev forum.

but that was already at the top just before it fetches the descendants

I found the issue.

Turns out the area for the camera was out of range based on where the player spawns

moving it closer fixed it

[graceful delta]

I mean

Same difference

[icy ferry]

I found that sometimes things in workspace don't load if they're far away from the camera

[graceful delta]

Found that out the hard way 🥀

fuck sake now i need UIs

and i really cba

[thick seal]

this code in my module script gives me an error saying "private_funcs" is an unknown global

local private_funcs = {
    TweenToTarget = function(instance:Instance, target:Instance, tweenInfo:TweenInfo)
        --does something
    end,
    
    TweenDescendants = function(instance,target,tweenInfo)
        private_funcs.TweenToTarget(instance,target,tweenInfo)
        for i,v in pairs(instance:GetChildren()) do
            private_funcs.TweenToTarget(instance,target,tweenInfo)
            private_funcs.TweenDescendants(v,target[v.Name],tweenInfo)
        end
    end
}

[graceful delta]

You're trying to call the function inside of the same function

It needs to be called seperately

atleast that's what i know

[violet folio]

declare private funcs before initializing it

for example

local private_funcs

private_funcs = {}

[thick seal]

no it doesnt i tested it it works!

[thick seal]

i realized this right as you were about to tell me lol ty for the help regardless! <3

[plush barn]

whats a libary in scripting and where do you find it

[coarse parcel]

Roblox says its a "Group of functions that you can use to manipulate built-in data types"

Basically a library have things that are already made and you can use them

[violet folio]

Roblox OSS community, dev forums, github

[plush barn]

thanks bruh

[coarse parcel]

Also you can find all libraries in documentation

[violet folio]

a library is just a open-source piece of code that does something

[plush barn]

aint git hub for web development

[violet folio]

github is for all sorts of programming/scripting/coding whatnot

[violet folio]

it's a repository for all types of code (open source or not)

but I'd say unless you NEED a library don't use one

don't increase your codebase's complexity until necessary

[glass maple]

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

if UserInputService.TouchEnabled and not UserInputService.KeyboardEnabled then
pcall(function()
StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Mobile, false)
end)
end
Why isn't the jump button going away?

[coarse parcel]

For example: Library math contains math things so u dont have to make it from 0

Or sometimes the library can access thing you cant, like the os library, for example you cant manually access the clients local time, but using os library you can access to it

[proper edge]

TSS ass

This ass lock in

[glass maple]

why

[tawdry ice]

does anyone know how i could make attachments for an fps system?

[proper edge]

I’m trolling u making it

W work g

[tawdry ice]

a bit unspecific

[glass maple]

Thanks but it won't work

I'm trying to remove the jump button for mobile players

[plush barn]

ohhh alr thank you for informing me

[random matrix]

Add a parabola to the 6th line that states “if gui then gui = gui”

[glass maple]

let me try that.

[hard nexus]

hey everyone im just starting out in learning luau / roblox scripting. Ive previously programmed in C# and Java (up to CS3 at uni) and im wondering if anyone has any advice / resources for learning the language, tysm

[glass maple]

if you know a bit of python then this is easy.

and also do a bit of research on studio additions

[bronze trail]

if you learn best by videos, i recommend brawldev on youtube, if you learn best by reading, you can use the roblox documentations

[violet folio]

luau is somewhat different from lua

[hardy pilot]

What do you guys think about squid game season 3?

[violet folio]

so learn from luau related resources

[reef birch]

guys please go to #code-help to stay on topic

[young crescent]

GI HUN IS A BUM!!

[violet folio]

unsatisfying ending, tons of major plot points left unresolved just to milk the franchise for another spinoff

[hardy pilot]

CGI baby could solo the games

[young crescent]

WHY? 😡
4 years later
WHY? 😨

[hardy pilot]

Yeahhh I think that was like since season 1

[young crescent]

shouldve shot him right there

[hardy pilot]

season 2 was like a little planned but then they changed it to drag on

[young crescent]

i actually liked s2

[hardy pilot]

S2 was the funniest shit ever

[young crescent]

the outside games part was really well done

[hardy pilot]

WHY DID YOU LET ME LIVE!!!!

[young crescent]

all of the night club and mafia thing

[violet folio]

I dont think the S3 ending was terrible I just wish it was a proper conclusion to the franchise

i dont like how they milked it for another spinoff

[hardy pilot]

S3 CGI was on point

[young crescent]

rebelion was goated too

[violet folio]

i mean like it's better than using an actual baby

[hardy pilot]

I loved shiny baby with linear movement and dead face dog

[young crescent]

the only good thing about s3 is 456 aura farming

nothing else is good imo

[violet folio]

using a baby for squid game would be pretty unethical

[velvet light]

What is wrong with dragging logic

[hardy pilot]

Worthy sacrifice for my entertainment

[young crescent]

btw squid games ending this way actually disproves their point, humans are greedy and evil so they decide to continue the squid game series for more money

instead of giving it a proper conclusion

[hardy pilot]

Conclusion is that we should all start pirating and abandon Netflix

❤️

[violet folio]

real

but, I think the ending with gihun dying wasnt bad

[reef birch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/991600581904961607/1299792100505681990/caption.gif

[violet folio]

it was a proper conclusion to his character

imo

[reef birch]

i do not know

[violet folio]

if he didn't sacrifice himself for his baby, he'd end up like the frontman

[hardy pilot]

Why are you adding start pos

[hardy pilot]

Could've been season 4 smh

[crimson gale]

What is the best way to learn scripting ?😭 🙏

[young crescent]

i think its terrible and going against s1 and s2

[velvet light]

Is that the issue?

[young crescent]

his goal was to STOP the squid games entirely

[random matrix]

Brain

[violet folio]

he stopped it in Korea

[crimson gale]

Brain is the best way to learn scripting?

[random matrix]

Yes

[young crescent]

could always rebuild or have more sites

[violet folio]

That's what the spinoff is for

[crimson gale]

Bro am serious 😭

[random matrix]

The software called brain

[crimson gale]

You an ai designer so that makes sense

[lost pebble]

Just set the frames position to the mouse’s position with an offset of your liking. I’m confused on why you did all those extra steps

[velvet light]

You’re welcome

[hardy pilot]

[velvet light]

[lost pebble]

[velvet light]

i asked in interface and they genuinely got mad at me

[solid rain]

How can you change the rigtype properly?

            print("toggle rig type been set to...", Other)
            local humanoid = GetPlayerData(Player, "Humanoid")        
            if humanoid then
                local SetPerimeter = Enum.HumanoidRigType[Other]
                print(SetPerimeter)
                humanoid.RigType = SetPerimeter                

            end

What happens: Player dies when I select the rigtype to swap to, swapping to the same rigtype does nothing

[median badger]

I want to learn coding lua any recommendations or help?

[ember mirage]

oo

[delicate ermine]

guys a scripter does not need UI to be fully scaled and positioned to script it right?

[bleak beacon]

idk##

[pastel sentinel]

anyone goot with combat system logic?

[hollow folio]

is that good y'all ?

[autumn venture]

no but it is always useful

[delicate ermine]

alr ty man

[autumn venture]

its just a light? so I guess its good? I mean you dont show us the scripts so we cant judge it really by any other means than you gaining a tool and holding it out a few times

[hollow folio]

ohh

i used 4 scripts, wanted to have icons but didn't work

im just learning

let me show

[somber vault]

the best in everything got there because they worked harder than everyone else. What you're doing is only spread your ignorance and annoying people who come here to learn and stay in a professional environment.

Your existence here is beyond useless

[graceful delta]

I get better help here than in code help apparently all they do is insult you. Can someone tell me were I went wrong? (Yes, API access is enabled)

[glad apex]

Just be active later. Now is the time that people of different timezones that are both in HD and RSC are active

And since RSC members are all crackheads you know theyll bring crackhead energy here

[graceful delta]

almost 9pm for me, and I don't fancy doing this at 3am

[icy ferry]

I believe that it's possible for data to be nil but I'm not sure. Can you print data to see that all the values are there?

[glad apex]

Show us the lines of your script. One of the data["STUFF"] is nil

[glad apex]

It can be nil if nothing was setasync to it?

[icy ferry]

I think so

[glad apex]

Read it wrong mb

[hard nexus]

not sure but wouldnt PlayerData:GetAsync() possibly return nil?

[glad apex]

There is no data["SelectedChar"] whenever you are gettingasync you must always do something like

Level.Value = data[Level] or 1

Incase it is nil.

[graceful delta]

ah

Thanks

[icy ferry]

If you already had data saved, remember that it's case-sensitive (e.g. getting 'SelectedChar' would be nil if 'selectedChar' had the saved value)

[violet folio]

yeah

[glad apex]

U suck skid

[solemn knot]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/projectile-not-going-in-a-straigth-line-when-i-add-children-to-the-model/3796671

someone help me out

i beg

[icy ferry]

Are the parts massless?

[solemn knot]

yup

also am sure that the issue comes from the mesh parts cuz if i remove them it works properly

but idk what exactly

already checked the welds

they're all properly welded to the Main part

[icy ferry]

How about CanCollide?

Nvm, just fully read the post

[solemn knot]

yeah

any idea?

[icy ferry]

My best guess is the welds

Do you have Moon Animator?

[solemn knot]

yeah

why

[solemn knot]

well thats what i think too but i dont see anything wrong with them

[icy ferry]

It works well with welds, so I think you should delete the current ones then try welding the meshes to the main part

[idle summit]

i have a problem some times module scripts functions work normal but dont print debug lines

[solemn knot]

thats wat i did

[icy ferry]

Did you do all mesh at once? This usually works for me

[solemn knot]

ye

[coarse parcel]

I made an artillery system but it just... I just try to align the projectile (its similar to a cylinder) and it automatically follows the trajectory

Then I realized that the projectile itself affects how roblox manages its physics

I used a cylinder and all good, but when using a cube then all broke

I think you cant do nothing about it

[coarse parcel]

I came here also to ask if there is impossible to change the mass of an object

Because there is two options: Massless or with mass

But if I want to have less mass but still having mass?

Or have more?

I found in documentation a thing called "Density" that you can modify and it affects the mass, that you can modify by adding a "PhysicalProperties" object

[coarse parcel]

Oh and this is the result, I changed the projectile but idk what happens with curve so, I have to modify that

[graceful delta]

isn't the curve based on the mass of the object and the force applied?

wait nvm didnt read enough

[flat mirage]

yo anyone got any tips on how to learn scripting? or any methods that helped yous become good and professional at scripting???

[graceful delta]

I think the easiest way would be to add a system to aim upwardsa

[spring badge]

learn python i think its a good starting language

[flat mirage]

why would i need to leanr python if roblox uses lua?

[graceful delta]

just so you know how programming languages work

[flat mirage]

oh

[graceful delta]

they might be different languages but the all do the same shit, just written differently

well, not all

but trust them

cause i skipped python

[flat mirage]

but i dont really see the impact of it being helpfyl after switching too lua

[spring badge]

its just different formats:v

[spring badge]

well then go to learning lua

[graceful delta]

and this is how i set custom avatrs selected from a data store 🥀

[flat mirage]

i am and thats why i asked this question

[flat mirage]

.

[graceful delta]

Read up on articles on the dev forum

[flat mirage]

ok thank you

[static coral]

learn a lower level language instead if you want to learn how programming works

but its not that necessary for roblox

u should learn some computer architecture tho

and how code runs and then just learn algorithms

[flat mirage]

well i already learned like simple scripting code in lua already so idrk if i should learn all of them but if its neccasary then i might

[static coral]

all of what

[flat mirage]

mistype mb

i type fast so

ill prolly just stick to lua since im only focused on rblx and not the progamming itself

[heavy sleet]

How exactly would one go about making a barricade destruction function for an AI

Not looking for code really

Just a way to lay it’s functionality out

[lost pebble]

path find to target (ignoring barricades), check for barricades in path (or raycast in front of the npc while it's moving), once reached, destroy the barricade, then continue path to target

[heavy sleet]

Taking about once reached

Would’ve asked for additional if that’s was the goal

I mean the functionality

Should I just destroy one then have it repeat until each one is destroyed then return true or what?

I’m using an ECS do keep in mind

[dark sky]

what do yall think of this?

[lost pebble]

what's an ecs?

[heavy sleet]

Look at matter on GitHub

[hazy frost]

this is cool

how did you do it?

[dark sky]

thx

[lost pebble]

im getting something about networking

[dark sky]

module scripts scripts on the dummy and starter gui

[hazy frost]

Oh ok

[lost pebble]

anyway. idk how that would effect the logic of your code. it seems to be more data related (from what i saw)
but yeah, when you reach a barricade, and there's multiple parts you want to destroy one by one, you would loop

[heavy sleet]

If you’re not bothered to do research don’t bother to suggest

[gusty solar]

did you NOT just post this earlier

[dark sky]

its different now look at the full vid

[gusty solar]

insane backshots

[unreal nest]

Script Build ui I have talent, I am open to all kinds of job offers

[heavy sleet]

This looks like stolen content to me

[unreal nest]

It all belongs to me, I have done a lot of work globally.

[heavy sleet]

Hm

Checks out given the links I suppose

[unreal nest]

Asset can be controlled, no problem, I did it all myself, the person can clearly see this in the job offer.

[weak yoke]

chat

does Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription() only work for R15 rigs?

[heavy sleet]

No? Don’t think so

[weak yoke]

why doesnt this work then? i tried asking chatgpt and it said that it only works on r15 rigs. (no errors)

Character is an instance that has a humanoid btw

[heavy sleet]

Character is a model

But alright

[weak yoke]

same thing lol

[heavy sleet]

Not really

[heavy sleet]

Have you tried to print a?

[weak yoke]

yes (HumanoidDescription)

[heavy sleet]

Then somethings wrong with your application then

[weak yoke]

hm

for some reason its printing empty for HatAccesory (even though i do have some)

for some reason everything is 0 😭

[unreal nest]

I can make any kind of system.

[random pendant]

yo, this channel is dropping a series on how to dominate faang competition in a three part series, like and subscribe to learn how to get a job https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qYIs4fJMiTw

[wheat citrus]

Make sure it’s on server

I think that function only works on the server when I’ve used it

[weak yoke]

the problem was the humanoiddescription is empty

i dont feel like setting it myself so ima just die write a function to auto update it

[graceful delta]

Anyone know how to stop my UIs from resetting on death? Disabling "ResetOnSpawn" does fuck all now apparently

[wheat citrus]

You can try to save it on death and load it back

[sharp totem]

guys how i change the color of a caracter on a text gui? with scripting

[wheat citrus]

But I bet there is a better way but rn idk

[graceful delta]

TextBox.TextColor3 = Color3.new(R, G, B)

[sharp totem]

no have each caracter have different color

[graceful delta]

fucking hell uh

[wheat citrus]

You can use a gradient

[graceful delta]

yeah that

[wheat citrus]

Is it a text box?

[graceful delta]

I was abt to suggest the harder way 🥀

[wheat citrus]

lol

[wheat citrus]

Make many different textboxes 🥀🥀🥀🥀

[frosty crag]

Use RichText

[graceful delta]

no not that, basically the same way you can coloiur text on mc signs you can do on scripts

it's just a fucking headache

[wheat citrus]

😮 how does it work I’ve never used it

[graceful delta]

what i mean is this
https://medal.tv/games/roblox-studio/clips/kCrY6QJOSCIK4V30f?invite=cr-MSxUY0osMzEzMDUwOTA5

when you die the menu pops back up

"ResetOnDeath" is disabled

[frosty crag]

Basically you can use this as a string
Hi, <font color="rgb(255, 0, 0)">this is red</font>
And then only the "this is red" part is red and the rest of the text is the textcolor3 color

[wheat citrus]

Like u want to move the camera back?

[graceful delta]

so idk what to do without deleting the UI from StarterGUI

[wheat citrus]

Oh yeah nvm I’ve used it I just never knew its name

Wait I don’t really undstand

[graceful delta]

No this, it goes away when the screen fades to black, disables, but enables when you reset

[wheat citrus]

U want to hide the menu?

[graceful delta]

And roblox is no good with explaining its new features

[wheat citrus]

You need to enable it when they respawn not reset then, right ?

[graceful delta]

like the fuck is a layer collector

[wheat citrus]

Man idk

[frosty crag]

ResetOnSpawn is just a property of ScreenGuis I think

And ScreenGui probably just inherits from LayerCollector

Whatever that is

[frosty crag]

🥶

[frosty crag]

Yeah it's disabled so it shouldn't reset

[graceful delta]

but it does

cause roblox is dogshit

[frosty crag]

Is there code that enables it?

Someway

[graceful delta]

no

[frosty crag]

Like .Enabled = true

[frosty crag]

oh okay

Where do you put the scripts?

The client ones

[graceful delta]

One sec imma try something

[frosty crag]

Ah maybe I'm dumb but I think Folders reset on spawn always

Try moving the gui out of the folder

[graceful delta]

lemme try

[frosty crag]

Because scripts reset when directly under StarterGui

So Folders probably too

[timber obsidian]

why get children why now getdesencetnd

[frosty crag]

what

[timber obsidian]

why not use GetDescendants()

oh wait i just relized

yeah
tbh i didnt know abt it until like a week ago lol

its kinda confusing tho

@charred jacinth The Flash ⚡ Zoom - Monster is that video in your bio

[clever bane]

a job is there for u to get the higher bag and better income

[charred jacinth]

yuh

[clever bane]

a JOB is supposed to start u off.

But you don't jus settle with a job and think its all figured out no.

[timber obsidian]

yo i watched that as a kid

[weak yoke]

i go to work

[timber obsidian]

with my cousien

[clever bane]

my mother gets paid 70 a hour and still look for more ways for better income

So miss me wid ts

[timber obsidian]

70 bucks that good

really good

[weak yoke]

i dont have to support a full family

[clever bane]

70 a hour

[charred jacinth]

u lookin in hidden devs for scripters thats all i gotta see

[clever bane]

neither does she we grown

she dont gotta support us no more all that money for her

and she still tryna get more stop looking for excuses

[timber obsidian]

@clever bane w mom man

[clever bane]

That's a start.

[weak yoke]

im not tho lol
just saying i have a job doesnt mean im not looking for ways to get a better job lol

[charred jacinth]

what u mean

[clever bane]

well I dont code i the brains of operation I done work with coders through numerous projects.

I hire coders and we split revenue get the money

Right now coders is the gate way to what I am attempting to get back

I jus got outta jail so that's why I am here rn

But i done ran up more money then a trap house off roblox

Coders is the gate way of how to do that so yall are like rare pokemons

thing is coders have the skill but not the brain power to blow.

So thas why majority of coders working under people with the GREAT IDEA

Right now if you're a coder you have the ability to be set for life jus don't know what to do with it.

[remote bear]

now instead of a single display buffer i have 6 separate displays witch should make adding multithreading easer

[ebon bloom]

Can somebody help me out with this? I've been trying to make this little system where when I join the game a system message would say that I joined, but I can't get it to work.

[weak yoke]

make it faster 🙏

[weak yoke]

make it a gui not chat so its easier to build molecular structure

There will be a certain part of the camera on my character, I will reflect it with the Minimap, it will be like your perspective.

okay so. making a change on one script broke a completely unrelated script that has no interaction with it what so ever. The fuck is going on with Roblox?

Made it so one script changed audio volume, and now my other one no longer kills the player? 😭

like, why the fuck is this line just skipped and the rest go on no issue?

[gusty solar]

Roblox killing is really weird, I once had a server script that changed ur health to -9e9 and changed ur state to Dead and on heartbeat and it STILL didn’t kill me and just made my health lower than 0

ECS = Entity Component system

A box that holds other boxes that hold information

[zenith night]

what are some common roblox frameworks? i know about rojo and fusion but are there any other i should learn?

[hardy pilot]

Rojo is not a framework

I dont know if fusion can be considered one either

[zenith night]

stuff like rojo and fusion

[hardy pilot]

Theres like a bunch but almost all of them are commonly agreed to be shit

You can get like slight flavors of fusion

[zenith night]

why even use them in the first place then

[hardy pilot]

And then theres flamework which I have no idea what it does but I hear praise about it

[quaint cargo]

Nevermore

[hardy pilot]

Beats me

[quaint cargo]

Utility

[hardy pilot]

Isnt nevermore a collection of bloat anyway

[quaint cargo]

You only load modules u need

It used a more mature package manager

[hardy pilot]

Wow

So its not all that useful

[quaint cargo]

So if i want to add ragdolls to my game all i gotta do is npm i @quenty/ragdoll

[quaint cargo]

useful to me

[hardy pilot]

Is the ragdoll any good

[quaint cargo]

If i spend hours working on code i want it to be usable anywhere

[quaint cargo]

Look up who Quenty is 😭

[hardy pilot]

I use one skidded from dev forum and its meh, I had to refactor it

[hardy pilot]

I know who Quenty is

[quaint cargo]

Its battle tested and good

Imo

[quaint cargo]

Rojo is seperate

[hardy pilot]

I mean Seans Ragdoll Module is probably battle tested too and its kinda shit

[quaint cargo]

And if u dont learn anything else i still recommend rojo

[hardy pilot]

Conaidering its like the first result on any search engine

[quaint cargo]

test it out for urself

In my opinion its good

Theres also Rx logic

[hardy pilot]

I wish Roblox just released their anim constraints already

[quaint cargo]

So stuff like observables with piping

[hardy pilot]

Thats kinda cool though I guess

I dont really like rojo though so unless theres a plugin to auto import its not so convinient for me

[radiant moss]

lol i spent weeks trying to fix a stupid physics emulation cframe drift and the actual fix was just using Orthonormalize()

you're welcome

[tough scroll]

guys when making a combat sys, for the blocking? how would i check if the aggressor is punching from the front, back or sides

[deft oar]

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    print("Hi")
    print("Touched by:", hit.Name)
end)

Is this code right ?

[lost pebble]

raycasts

[lost pebble]

test it

[deft oar]

im stupid...

the script was not in the part....

[somber vault]

can someone code a steal game for me its ok light work

just basic and not so much

[tough scroll]

yeah but i dont think that would be too optimized

since i'd have to cast multiple rays

when a person gets punched and is blocking

[lost pebble]

raycasting a few rays for a few seconds wont kill your performance

[tough scroll]

if multiple people punch that person?

since like around 8 rays would be fired everytime a person gets punched and is blocking

pretty sure there is a different way

[lost pebble]

i imagine the raycasts would be calculated on the client. and the client can have a raycast every frame and performance wouldn't be an issue. even if it was on the server it would be fine

8 rays is nothing

[tough scroll]

i mean should i raycast it on the client or server

feel like server since if i do it on the client

there could be issues

cause the client character and server could be desynced

[lost pebble]

people could also exploit it. but i would opt for client since it's a better experience. you would make checks on the server though to make sure things are fine

stuff like the distance between the two players

[snow oasis]

How are you getting what side of the player is hit from raycast?

[tough scroll]

firing multiple rays in multiple directions with a set range

and if a ray hits a character well thats the side hes punching from

[snow oasis]

O

Yeah that makes sense

[lost pebble]

or calculate the angle between a single ray from aggressor to the hrp's LookVector of the aggresse

actually, it would be better if the raycast originated from the aggresse and pointed to the aggressor

[grand magnet]

yo guys i have a problem

Okay thank you

[sharp totem]

how do i do to see if theyre is something in a dictionary like :

local dictionary = {
  Patern = {
        TheWait = 15,
        Odd = 3,
        Multiplier = 2,
        Obtainement = true,
        Apply = function(part)
            part.Transparency = .9
        end,
    },
    Oxidized = {
        TheWait = 15,
        Odd = 3,
        Multiplier = 2,
        Obtainement = true,
        Apply = function(part)
        end,
    },
}

when i do if dictionary[thing.Name]

it will return false

and its the exact name

[wet basalt]

For a grid-based inventory system, how would you separate the logic?
Would you implement all the business logic, especially the data-related parts, on the server side, or would you rather delegate everything to the client?
In the latter case, how would you make the system resistant to spoofing or cheating?

If you've ever implemented such a system, I'd be really interested in seeing the details of your implementation.

[chilly imp]

Anyone know how to make custom prox prompts?

[thorn arch]

Everything important on the servrr

Server

[thorn arch]

Billboard gui

[chilly imp]

Yea but how?

[wet basalt]

Intuitively, I would structure things using a pseudo-MVC model.
I’d have a client-side controller that also manages the inventory view. It would capture player actions, and each action would then be validated by the server.

The main question I’m asking myself is how to handle redundant computations, such as checking whether an item can be moved to a specific slot in the inventory.
Who should be responsible for this logic?
I’m leaning toward introducing an intermediate module, positioned between the client controller and the server, that would handle these kinds of checks.

[charred jacinth]

any1 know the max amount of scripts you can use with script-sync?

i swear there was a max of like 60 smth

sync scripts to a file, you can edit that file in a third party IDE such as Cursor/VScode

all changes sync between

Gui button

[wet basalt]

Is it better than Rojo?

[thorn arch]

Sure you can do that

[charred jacinth]

It has its ups and downs

One bad thing is you cant make scripts in the 3rd party ide, you have to sync from roblox studio

[wet basalt]

I don't like using Rojo because you can hardly import your modules. What about this one?

[thorn arch]

Isn't that what wally is for?

[wet basalt]

Tell me

[thorn arch]

or just dont use AI at all

not really it still hallucinates a LOT

and im talking about better AIs

not roblox's shitty ones

ternary operators in luau

thats just an example

out of many

what

[dusty bronze]

umm so the thing is I haven't coded for a long, long time (about 10 months?) and I'm wondering whether there is a way I can recover or I should just start learning from the basics?

[peak jolt]

do you have an example? the term "ternary operator" is usually understood (as the and short circuit syntax) and question marks are part of type checking, or what did you see?

[gusty solar]

💀

[peak jolt]

where is this this doesnt look like the ai assistant in studio

[gusty solar]

sigh

Luau only has 1 ternary operator, if condition then iftrue else iffalse

and-or is buggy and not official

[dusty bronze]

[peak jolt]

bruh

i generally agree roblox' current attempts at chat ai are pretty ass compared to chatgpt

[gusty solar]

chatgpt isnt much better

[peak jolt]

chatgpt is significantly better

[gusty solar]

no LLM can make proper code

absolutely none

[peak jolt]

i assume you dont have chatgpt plus

[gusty solar]

you can still use 4o for free

[peak jolt]

for general use it is definitely a help and for coding an "entire thing" it is 50/50 hit or miss but when it hits it often works flawlessly from the start

[gusty solar]

wow it suprisingly got it

but my point stands

all LLMs are ass

[peak jolt]

llms are not supposed to replace documentation for stuff like that you are supposed to talk to them like humans

you dont ask a coworker how to sum two numbers in luau you google it

you ask a coworker how they would implement xy addition to your current system and chatgpt is good at giving you pointers for that

sometimes it is capable of writing the entire thing for you

[gusty solar]

it is even worse at debugging or modifying code

[dusty bronze]

nah it will answer such basic stuffs correctly. It will only start to mess up when you dive into something complex

[gusty solar]

trust me i used to be a chatgpt warrior

[peak jolt]

okay i dont trust you because i used chatgpt since release and know it was just a gimmick back then but is legitimately useful today

[gusty solar]

SO DID I

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ASS

at least now it can do VERY basic stuff correctly

[peak jolt]

i think your prompts or the bias in the way you talk is just throwing it off

[dusty bronze]

haha your pfps are cats and dogs, ofc you would be fighting

[peak jolt]

i do this test all the time like give me one thing you think chatgpt cant make

i bet i can do it in three prompts or less

idk why but it teached me basics so well

[spiral jungle]

Cause it’s got a lot of examples you can look at

What do you think about Roblox's PathFinding?
Personally, I feel like the waypoints are sometimes placed a bit strangely. And I'm not really convinced by the level of customization it offers.
But I’m not sure if that alone is enough to justify a third-party custom implementation.
I remember reading this topic back then, but I’m not sure how relevant it still is today.
Knowing how fast Roblox moves, I’d say it probably still is though xD:

ok but whata u said make no sense

why?

[distant echo]

yo anyone know how i would make my characters left arm move the direction my mouse is pointing?

[wise turtle]

its a script syncing system instead of a game syncing system like rojo. it's also very primitive and lacks most essential features rojo has which boosts development speed greatly

mainyl also attributed to the goal of the script sync project being different

alright. thanks!

yes if it needs to be serialized

[ionic solstice]

ok

or should i use datastore cuz i am saving player data

[nova python]

reborn is fun

super polished

[pine herald]

yeah? i meant u have to serialize some types like Vector3 or instances like parts

[frail yarrow]

what?

You have to use datastores anyway

[ionic solstice]

oh ok

cuz i am trash at saving data

[polar tide]

guys my pig is just like stuck in this area:
im new to pathfinding so im just tryna make a model i have go around my farm
I’ve added a HumanoidRootPart in the middle of the pig and a Humanoid inside the model so it could move.
but i had to put a part in the pig and rotate it 180 degrees because the pig moved the backwards
I welded everything to the humanoidrootpart

[sour vine]

u dont need pathfinding blug

it aint cul

[polar tide]

well i wanna have an option for it to roam around its land, and also an option for it to follow its owner

do you suggest something else

[sour vine]

make a cord randomizer along the land and use humanoid:MoveTo()

[merry shoal]

this guy is right

[grave swift]

does anyone wanna work with me

[merry shoal]

on what

[grave swift]

dms

[merry shoal]

no

[viscid veldt]

yo chat how do i fucking force character to walk forward

[merry shoal]

by deleting side movem ent

and backwards

[viscid veldt]

why

[merry shoal]

lmao just joking

[viscid veldt]

😭

[merry shoal]

do u want it just to walk forward whatever it does

[viscid veldt]

yes walk forward but you can like control it go left and right

just like a train ability from item asylum

[merry shoal]

yea

i think i know how to do it but i dont wanna give u missinformation

someone else answer this guy

[viscid veldt]

someone please vro 🙏

[ripe jackal]

@sour vine is typing...

[sour vine]

local landzpos = land.Position.Z
local landxsize = land.Size.X
local landZsize = land.Size.Z

local hum = pig:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

local randomx = math.random(landxpos - landxsize/2, landxpos + landxsize/1)

local randomz = math.random(landzpos - landzsize/2, landzpos + landzsize/1)

while true do
humanoid:MoveTo(randomx, *yourY*, randomz):Wait()

wait(2)
end```

i just wrote this fukah code rn gimi some credit

[polar tide]

Would making it follow the player like that make it stutter or get stuck on objects

[frail yarrow]

guys remember that you gotta check all user provided values for being invalid utf-8, nan, or infinity before saving them

[dusky geode]

[near pasture]

No it would just go to random positions

[dusty bronze]

is roblox's pathfinding still not so good?

[polar tide]

Im saying using the moveto function would get it stuck on stuff wouldn't it

[near pasture]

I'd think the same thing but I'm pretty sure it resets after a while

[sour vine]

local hrpPig = pig:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
loal hrpPlayer = player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
while true do
if (hrpPig.Position - hrpPlayer.Position).Magnitude > 5 then
humanoid:MoveTo(hrpPlayer.Position)
wait(0.1)
end
end```

Do you want to see an example of some code of an AI I'm working on?

There are some parts that could inspire you

I'm sorry wrong person

@viscid veldt

[viscid veldt]

huh

[wet basalt]

If you are interested I'm willing to show you some of my codebase as an opportunity to learn

[viscid veldt]

well i know how to script, i just have trouble with making character move forward

[wet basalt]

Just heads up but "huh" sounds kinda rude

[sour vine]

u will have to make it CanCollide = false u dont have another option

[viscid veldt]

ok

whats this supposed to be

[wet basalt]

I can't seem to be able to post the rest so here is a screenshot...

[wet basalt]

Like I told you a glimpse on how I make my AI move

[plush oxide]

What does this function do

[viscid veldt]

nice

[wet basalt]

Which one?

[plush oxide]

The on in the ss

[wet basalt]

Better ss

[wet basalt]

It makes the entity move between two specific points using the Roblox's PF

[plush oxide]

Oh aight

Is there a problem with it

Or something

[wet basalt]

No I'm just giving it for learning purpose

[plush oxide]

Hmmm

Aight

[wet basalt]

Since they were struggling to get their NPC to move, I offered to share an example codebase to help them out

[plush oxide]

You should find a way to make the code shorter

Like maybe adding utils

[sour vine]

its designed to make you watch the entity moving while ur pc is slowly crashing

[plush oxide]

Ohhh

[wet basalt]

Reminder:

Also, this is specifically designed for a single entity. For multiple entities, it could become resource-intensive you'd need to batch the behaviors

[glossy wave]

why put _ before the function name

[plush oxide]

Private

[glossy wave]

huh

[plush oxide]

Private function

[river gorge]

Help, for some reason I tried blocking the ;gear command and it’s just making the gear command for NonAdmin. Please help’

[wet basalt]

It's a common naming convention in lua

[glossy wave]

any examples of when you would and wouldn't do that?\

[plush oxide]

It tells the scripter that the function is private and shouldn't be used or something

[wet basalt]

Tbh I should’ve made it a local function with self as a parameter I just did it out of habit.

[wet basalt]

Drop the sarcasm, and try to be more productive by pointing out what could actually be beneficial. I don’t think it’s resource-intensive, especially with only one entity. I ran performance tests using script diagnostics. The advantage is that the entity is highly resilient to issues that might occur, like ragdolls

[sour vine]

i dont think u should use complex code for that

[wet basalt]

How is it complex?

The reason why it might be, is because I simply cover different scenarios

Which I consider a good practice. I make sure to safeguard against potential edge-case scenarios and handle them with proper countermeasures. It adds some lines of code, but it doesn’t make things particularly complicated

🙂👍

[bleak glade]

yum

any scripters looking to work on a small project to enhance their skills and for percent? dm me

[verbal lodge]

anyone here know how to make a door open smoothly?

[fickle depot]

guys how to do an advanced gun system

i know how tweens work creating new parts

and the other basics

[ivory sundial]

guys

[vale flax]

tweening

[verbal lodge]

no clue how to do that

lol

how do you make the door move smoothly?

[wanton ivy]

tweening

lerping

tweening is easier

[verbal lodge]

what about making it all with springs?

and hinges?

[wanton ivy]

well what do you mean make the door move smoothly?

do you just want the door to open when you run into it

or press a button and the door opens

if you want the door to open when you run into it then use springs and hinges
if you want the door to open when you press a button/key like e then use tweening or lerping

[true fulcrum]

Any scripter here who can script a Wall Hop Obby game?

[autumn venture]

Tweens are best

Or you can use forces

[velvet vapor]

If I have a database, should I store IDs like strings? I mean maybe there is some thing like in c++ that u cant store really big numbers

[vale flax]

if it's a model then add a part where you want the door to rotate at, make it invisible and set it as the primary part of the model, weld every part of the door to it, make sure only the primary part is anchored, and then tween the primary part using the cframe property

cframe.FromEulerAngles(math.rad(90) , 0, 0) or sm like that

[verbal lodge]

the door is laggy af

does not move smoothly

;/

rip

[fallen heart]

Does anyone want to join my dev team for coding?

[autumn venture]

No

Nobody does this for free

And if you're paying use ur eyes and use the right channels
