Hey who wants to help me making a story game? I can't pay 😔 but the game will help You for the portofolio

[queen glacier]

😍

[craggy schooner]

Hey do You know to script?

[queen glacier]

No

[craggy schooner]

Oh

But If You want You can help

With building the map

The game won't have monitization so we won't get money

Maybe only a donation stand and we can split

[visual wedge]

How do I fix this?

[woeful plover]

if I were to make a movement system with momentum and acceleration and deceleration that may happen even if the player isn't pressing any movement keys, should I use bodyVelocity and handle movement as a vector velocity?

and are there any better options?
cause I already don't like this one since it's not very consistent and could cause bugs

[somber vault]

how would you go about making a global shop like grow a garden?

memorystoreservice?

[runic oxide]

i can think of this lazy/easy way

• use workspace:GetServerTimeNow
• then use that as seed for random generator.
• also % operator to update it every 5 minute or so

[gaunt trout]

we need a scripter

whos uhh very pro with gui shops and such

the worst part is its a % but we do have an investor(rich) but not for long if we dont get one(pls dont make me code)

Hey people i have a issue with some logic for my game
In my game, players enter solo levels (subplaces) and earn XP there. The XP amount is sent back to the main place (lobby) where boosts are applied before saving.

Boosts like gamepasses, potions, and membership are easy — they persist across all lobbies.
But for for friend XPBoost (being in a server with a friend), it’s tricky:

The player finishes a level alone

When they return to a lobby, they might not land in the same one where their friend was

So the system can’t always tell if they had a friend “with them” when they played

Any good strategies to track or apply friend bonus XP correctly in this setup? I’d love to hear how others solve this.

[fading nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-discord-perms-discord-gif-discord-permissions-no-perms-gif-19575106

[wild basin]

My personal takes on this would be (I'm not holding any regards in any of them being good)

1. Player:GetFriendsOnline() and checking Friend.PlaceId -> This wouldn't work for players who are "Offline" or Excludes people from joing in privacy settings.
2. Since we're joining into a "Solo place" or "Lobby" you can send information to the place utilizing TeleportData. -> Strongly Dislike because of Clients being able to tell the server anything
3. MemoryStoreService, store information that basically describes any boost to a certain player. -> Would have to wait to know if you added something to it.

[coral void]

thank you for the reply but to be honest i think: The real issue isn’t validation or TeleportData — it’s lobby server mismatch after levels. A player starts with a friend (triggering a 10% XP boost), enters a subplace (level), but when returning, they get placed in a different lobby server where their friend isn’t present anymore. So the XP boost is lost, even though they started together.

[viscid matrix]

Hi

[wild basin]

Ah, must've misread.

One idea for that I would have for this really is just storing what the previous JobId was of the lobby in like MemoryStoreService (Again) and Teleporting back with the stored JobId afterwards.

[coral void]

Could be yeah, ill try and look into this thank you! my current best idea was to simply put a timer on the xpboost instead of relying on the friend to be there, but that causes some other issues as you might imagine, but thanks man appreciate it!

[pseudo girder]

should I store data for rebirths (like what each rebirth gives you and its requirements) in repStorage?

I need it for the client

but idk

[vivid abyss]

guys, i have a system that i rotate a part constantly, but is it better to verify if the player is close enough to start rotating or just rotate anyways

[solid wasp]

Who can help me to crate emote like ZO ,ZEN

Create*

[vernal peak]

do i create a new script for each task. Im making a daily rewards system, do i make a script dedicated to just that?

[wraith shadow]

Blo fucked around and found out

[kind wren]

Make a folder and put all coins in the folder on server side. Then rotate the coins locally and stop rotate when player is far away - use a local script for that

[brazen vigil]

how do i learn coding

[snow geyser]

is this good progress?

[broken verge]

no that would cause too many bugs or issues

I recommend writing something more like this

local Players = game:GetService("Players") -- Get player service
local KillPart = script.Parent

KillPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit) -- Connect on touch
    if Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then -- validate if its a player
        local Character = hit.Parent -- make a varible so its more ez
        local Humanoid:Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") -- find humanoid
        if Humanoid then -- ensure there is a humanoid tho there probably always will be one
            Humanoid.Health = 0 -- set health
        end
    end
end)

[kind wren]

watch courses and tutorials. like alvinblox or thedevking etc

[brittle token]

No

[fresh sphinx]

why would u validate iff its a player and then check if humanoid. isnt humanoid enough??

[snow mauve]

Which looks better?

[fresh sphinx]

1

[kind wren]

usd modules not separate scripts for each task cuz thats gonna be unorganizing and make your game laggier.

For example, a single script in serverscriptservice which makes all the parts in workspace-KillParts kill player on touch is much better than so many parts in workspace and each having a kill script inside.

[broken verge]

ig but its just so then npcs dont die

[snow mauve]

k, that seems like the census so ill go w it

[kind wren]

1

[fresh sphinx]

btw where did u learn scripting cuz im sortish new and lowkey dnt know what 2 do further

[broken verge]

dev-forums mostly

[fresh sphinx]

does it actually help alot?

[broken verge]

honestly ya

I uploaded my own stuff to the forums aswell

[fresh sphinx]

what do u look at when ur on the forum and what do u focus on to improve

[broken verge]

if I wanted to make something like

a monster

if I got stuck on the pathfinding part of it

I would search up youtube videos

or devforum, and I would mostly look at what i need in the moment, and learn from research

[fresh sphinx]

yeah the difference if i wanted to make a monster i wouldnt know where to start

like could i js make him a kill brick atp 😭

[broken verge]

😭

[fresh sphinx]

moving kill brick w pathfinding

[broken verge]

you could do that

Idk how I learned scripting I just kinda tried making stuff, got stuck watched a video, got stuck used the dev-forum or ask a friend

[fresh sphinx]

but did u not like watch guides like brawl dev, but more like learnt from what u were looking fffor

[broken verge]

ya

honestly maybe start off with the basics like ur doing with the kill brick

[fresh sphinx]

yeah like i think i know the basics

[broken verge]

and gradually build up to more complex things, so learn about services, learn about client scripts, server scripts, and my favourite module scripts

[fresh sphinx]

i hope so..

[fresh sphinx]

so to learn those i do need to watch brawl dev

[broken verge]

i didnt really watch much scripting videos

oh ya i remember, I used to use a lot of freemodels and modify the freemodels

or read over the code

it helped quite a bit with learning the basics and more advanced things

[kind wren]

you can watch courses on youtube by alvinblox and thedevking thats how i learned

[fresh sphinx]

and are you like good now

[broken verge]

honestly it just takes experience you gradually become good naturally even if ur not using youtube tutorials, I personally didnt like youtube videos so i tought myself

[kind wren]

i would say i am its been 5 years now, you can check my bio

[fresh sphinx]

5 years 🥀

on foenem im cooked

is there not a way to forge everything in my brain in erm 2 weeks

[broken verge]

nice fiverr portfoilio

[brittle token]

Thats most cash grab game monsters anyways

Add a jumpscare

[broken verge]

I only got 3 years, but 7 in studio

[brittle token]

What

[kind wren]

ty bro

[brittle token]

You have cancer?

[broken verge]

3 years scripting but 7 years of studio experience lol

[fresh sphinx]

huh

[brittle token]

Oh

I thought you had 3 years left to live

[kind wren]

relatable i started using it at around 10 something lol but started learning scripting when i was about 13-14

[broken verge]

ya, thats nice, I started screwing around with free models at 8 and started scripting at 12

[fresh sphinx]

did u js read the scripts in the free models

[broken verge]

when I started scripting at 12, it was pretty much just extremley easy stuff and referencing freemodels or adjusting them like for example I would take a health bar and make it an animated health bar

super simple stuff for the first few months

[fresh sphinx]

oon foenmen thats not simple

how do u animate a healthbar..

[broken verge]

do these UI buttons look good?

[broken verge]

tweenservice

and I just got cooked

[fresh sphinx]

yea

[fresh sphinx]

is tween service beginner or experienced

[broken verge]

I would say beginner

its a service that you use for animating things yk

an example this UI animation thing I made

you kinda just do that

[fresh sphinx]

is this the beginner u talking bout

[broken verge]

create tween info so how it will look, then create teh tween then move it

[fresh sphinx]

only times i seen enum is when i asked chatgpt for some shi i tried

[broken verge]

ya

[kind wren]

i thought beginner was the fundamentals like variables, loops and functions stuff 🙄

[broken verge]

this is how I made my healthbar

[fresh sphinx]

on fnm

[broken verge]

ig thats true, but to make stuff u still need services

[fresh sphinx]

so where in this script does it make ur hp go down

[broken verge]

ig something like runservice would be more intermediate and tweenservice would be beginner and most math advanced

[broken verge]

its just a client script to display health changing

so it looks like this on damage

[peak jolt]

cuz tutorials nowadays brainwash u into thinking u need to learn how to code before u can start making games

[broken verge]

true

[fresh sphinx]

so ur telling me all people who know how to script havent rly watched tutorials

[broken verge]

we have ya but not very many

atleast for me

[peak jolt]

nah im not saying tutorials is a bad thing I'm just saying the people trying to teach roblox have this weird assumption that you can't do anything without being an expert in lua first

something like tweenservice would be perfectly fine to teach at the same time as ur teaching a loop

it's arguably even simpler

[broken verge]

lol fax, look at obbys if u know how to make a kill brick and how to place parts, you can make an obby

[fresh sphinx]

lowkey i watched a tutorial abt loops and i got no clue when i would use it

lowkey like the tutorial people always show the results with print but imo it doesn't help for shi i wont lie like i need to know when to use it

thats what i need

[kind wren]

you're disconnecting healthConnection at two different places, why not use

local function disconnectHealthConnection()
    if healthConnection then
          healthConnection:Disconnect()
healthConnection = nil
    end
end

not saying anything's wrong but do avoid repitition of code and use functions more often. also im on phone so sorry for the indentation in the code above

[broken verge]

true thats a good point

[fresh sphinx]

on foenem 🧔‍♂️

[broken verge]

done thx bro

[peak jolt]

i would say 9 times out of 10 you use a loop to go through the children of some instance one by one to do something with each of them

a for loop i mean

[broken verge]

ya agreed

[fresh sphinx]

yeah im ngl i still dont get it 😭

[broken verge]

its alr u will get there

[peak jolt]

like when you have a model and you want all parts in the model to become invisible you would use a loop to achieve that

[fresh sphinx]

im ngl people with less knowledge abt scripting don't get that im ngl i need like actual game refferenced or some 😭

[fresh sphinx]

ahh

yeah i do llowkey remember using that

isn't it like some like for 1, 5 or some

like 2 numbers

[peak jolt]

the kind with the 2 numbers is specifically for counting like from 1 to 5 or 5 to 1 etc

[kind wren]

instead of printing

print("hello")

a thousand times, you can use loops to do that 3 lines. same thing when you have 1000 parts in your game and want to change colors of them etc

[peak jolt]

but yes to go through children you also use a for loop

for x in (something)

[fresh sphinx]

also what is the meaning of people always typing underscores

like ff

for _, x something else i forgot

[kind wren]

that variable is gonna stay unused

[fresh sphinx]

or the letter i

[kind wren]

you can name it anything

[fresh sphinx]

so people chose _ out of everything

[peak jolt]

i think it comes from other languages because in lua it's just a variable name but it's to indicate that the variable is not needed ("discard" operator in other languages)

[fresh sphinx]

ohhh they do _ bc they will never ever use it in the script

like print("_")

[pulsar basin]

_ refers to the index?

When used in a for loop

[kind wren]

yea

[broken verge]

and in a loop

for x = 1, 100 do
    print(x)
end

[pulsar basin]

Probsly best if you add a task.wait(0.1)

[broken verge]

ya I was thinking that to reduce lag

but its just an example on how loops work

[pulsar basin]

Or it does it all at once 😭

[peak jolt]

100 is nothing for a computer

[pulsar basin]

Yeah ipairs and pairs I'm still confused about

Ima try learn em again today

[fresh sphinx]

is index the thing where they do pairs(model:GetChildren)

[pulsar basin]

Hopefully my brain brains

[kind wren]

its the sequence of going thru some table but doesnt work in dictionaries

[broken verge]

ipairs is like in arrays so in an order while pairs is random i think

[pulsar basin]

Yea and arrays

[broken verge]

i cant remember

[kind wren]

pairs is random and ipairs starts from 1,2 etc

[pulsar basin]

Yeah it's just confusing tho

[kind wren]

iterated pairs is what ipairs i mean i think

[broken verge]

basically if lets say u use table.sort and sort something ipairs will return in order that u set, and pairs would be more random i think, when looping the table ofc

[peak jolt]

i think nowadays they are both obsolete and you can just do for x in xyz in most cases, at least that's the advice I would give to someone new

[velvet meadow]

is it bad store animation end pathfindings script inside npcs?

[pulsar basin]

Yeah I was talking to a really talented scripter i know and he said ipairs and pairs you can rewirte now in modern lua or something like that

[pulsar basin]

Yeah does ipairs go from the first index all the way to the last?

[fresh sphinx]

whats an index

[pulsar basin]

Just wierd idk what to script that uses it

[broken verge]

yes

[kind wren]

mostly yea i mean thats what for loops are for?

[peak jolt]

pairs does the same but the difference is that pairs also goes through string keys and not just the 1..x keys

[broken verge]

ya true i normally just do it the old way

[pulsar basin]

Then what does pairs do

[kind wren]

same thing but random read docs

[umbral carbon]

😑

[fresh sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/капибара-gif-15656021286497190682

[peak jolt]

they are not always the same ipairs only goes over the "array part" (1, 2, 3 etc) and pairs goes over ALL the contents in the table

[peak jolt]

it can refer to multiple things in this case it's the keys of a table

[pulsar basin]

For ipairs is this how they are written out?
For _, v in ipairs() do

End

[fresh sphinx]

this looks the exact same for how i would write pairs

[peak jolt]

yeah they have the same syntax they just go over the table in different manners

[fresh sphinx]

lowkey

[kind wren]

index is a counter variable in a loop which either increases or decreases (depending on what your doing) after each iteration

for i = 1, 100, 1 do
    print(i)
end

so 'i' here is a counter variable which increases from 1 to 100. The third number '1' determines how much it incresses or decreases by.

for i = 100, 0, -2 do
    print(i)
end

^ goes from 100 to 0 but decreasing 2 at each iteration

[fresh sphinx]

if i type
for_, v in pairs(model:GetChildren) do
would that work if i wanted to make a kill brick and my brick was a model with 100 parts.

[rare bronze]

Is better c# or c++ more worth to learn

[kind wren]

depends on what are you trying to do. c++ better for software stuff

[peak jolt]

yes if you write your kill brick script inside the loop it will activate that for all parts in the model

[fresh sphinx]

would this be helpful if i wanted to do like teleporting in .... .

[rare bronze]

Discord - roblox connected stuff

[somber vault]

i’d go with c#

[fresh sphinx]

but there's no table thats what confuses me

[kind wren]

c#

[rare bronze]

Ok ill go with that ty

[peak jolt]

get children returns a table

[fresh sphinx]

is a table something with multiple informaiton like a model

[peak jolt]

yea it's like a model for variables kinda

but it's purely data it's not an instance like a model or parts

[fresh sphinx]

and is my inventory in a game also a table

[kind wren]

yes

for i = 5, 0, -1 do
    print("Teleporting in: "..i)
end

so it goes from "Teleporting in: 5" to zero

[pulsar basin]

What can you use ipairs and pairs for?

[peak jolt]

it depends what you're referring to, the default inventory is controlled by Backpack, that's an instance in the player, so no it's not just a table by default

[fresh sphinx]

omg i love u

way better than youtube

[fresh sphinx]

like pet backpack

[peak jolt]

yeah something like that could be managed by a table instead

[fresh sphinx]

if ur reffering to multiple things or some

[peak jolt]

but it's important to know table is just a data type (like number, string, etc.) and is used for a lot of things

[fresh sphinx]

could u rewrite that in UI form please 😭 if its less than 5 lines for u. i dont want u typing whole ahh scripts

[fresh sphinx]

tysm

[kind wren]

how do i write in ui you need references first

[fresh sphinx]

would i have to make a text label first

[peak jolt]

honestly 99% of the time it's just to convey intent ("I am going to only use the array part") and not because of their exact differences

[somber vault]

tables

and much more :D

[kind wren]

yea. a variable of textlabel and replace that print statement to

local textLabel = script.Parent

for i = 5, 0, -1 do
    textLabel.Text = string.format("Teleporting in: %d", i)
    task.wait(1)
end

[pulsar basin]

So if you have a folded say a disco floor with 10 parts in all a folder, then with ipairs is it possible to refer to all of them and make them change all with differnt colors?

I'm still confused one like how you would make a ipairs or pairs loop work with the tabl and do something 😭

[pulsar basin]

Would anyone be kind and mabye write out how this would look?

I feel a bit dumb rn

[peak jolt]

Just write for _, floorPart in discoFloor:GetChildren()

no pairs needed

[fresh sphinx]

Wait so u dont need pairs for kill bricks aswell

[fresh sphinx]

Ty ty ty

[peak jolt]

yeah

[kind wren]

local discoParts = workspace.DiscoParts

for i, v in discoParts:GetChildren() do
    v.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
end

[kind wren]

sorry if its not formatted im on phone

[fresh sphinx]

Oh i thougjt u had to do
local x = math.random[0,255]
same for y and z
and then use colour3 for colours

Thats actually cool to know that random() is a thing

[peak jolt]

that would still be relevant for ui for example because those use color3 instead of brick color

[somber vault]

local idk = {"idk1", "idk2")

if you encounter this variable, use ipairs because it stops once the first element of the table is nil and has a guarantee for the orders and its ideal for arrays/lists

local b = { noIdea = false }

For this table it’s preferable using pairs because it has non sequential keys and order is not guaranteed unlike ipairs, it also iterates over everything in the table and does not stop after the first element nil, just keeps going. (i yapped)

[peak jolt]

though you can also color parts with color3 and technically you can color ui with brick color using BrickColor.Color

[fresh sphinx]

Lowkey this is some cold place to learn from

[pulsar basin]

You didn't even have to write pairs or ipairs?

[kind wren]

yea it works fine without that

[kind wren]

read this

[pulsar basin]

Where would I use pairs and ipairs then?
Like a full script with them

[pulsar basin]

Okeu

[neon bridge]

how can i get this in my game

i think its a free model

[pulsar basin]

So ipairs you can use to rank people let's say a leaderboard for example while pairs you would use just to get the values from the players in the leaderboard then can use the values in a ipair to rank them?

You could try ECS which is similar to OOP

Both are valid

[novel anvil]

I'm familiar with OOP as i've worked with java before but i'll need to research ecs and oop implementations in lua

clone it before you destroy it

or dont destroy it

who can help me make chat tags

[blissful turtle]

hi, so idk if this is an animaton issue or script issue but can someone dm help me. like this animation. the tool the rig has is a model rn. but i made it a tool for the player. im using a model for the animation. so the tool when the player plays the animation it plays but the sword doesnt rotate or anything. Animation Editor shows that the handle does move in the Animation

maybe bc its a model so it acts different? if so then how to fix

pls anyone help me

[thorn arch]

ya gotta have it as a model for the animation to play properly

[blissful turtle]

but i want it as a tool. so that the player can use it.

models dont work as a tool

[thorn arch]

a player can use something without it being a tool

just have to handle it differently

[blissful turtle]

so i can still hit with it and stuff?

[thorn arch]

yh

those functions have nothing to do with tools

the only thing tools do is give you the events for activation and equipping and automatically welds the handle

[blissful turtle]

i did the wedle

but rn i just added the model to starterpack

doesnt show

plus i have scripts inside the models and they break bc "Equipped" is not a valid member

bc its a model yk

so got any idea on how to fix?

[rotund pawn]

Are there any negatives for assigning OnClient and OnServer events to One Remote Event?

[quaint depot]

Is there a way to customize a proximityprompt without programing? Like i can program it but if someone knows a way that would be time sparing

[brave island]

Do you mean like

Adding it inside and changing values or custom images and stuff

[quaint depot]

smth like this

[quaint depot]

yeah exactly

[brave island]

Which

[quaint depot]

like these are the basic settings but they are ass

[quaint depot]

oh mb i meant images and stuff

changing the values is already in propreties

[brave island]

Oh rip no clue soz

Maybe look for plugins

They might exist

[quaint depot]

np thank you anyways

[quaint depot]

there are no plugins for it i saw in the documentation forum but its also programing :/

gotta upgrade my frontend skills

[brave island]

Rippp

I got a question aswell rq

[tired sinew]

yall is someone kind enough to help me w smn?

[quaint depot]

yes?

[pulsar basin]

Yea

[brave island]

What kind of modules do u use

Like preexisting ones

Ik ppl use profilestore for saving

So I’m wondering if I should js make my own hitbox module with raycasts for accuracy or using a module made by somebody else

[quaint depot]

Well if you are using a combat system just cframe on server with collide detection

[quaint depot]

basicaly depending on what i need i look in the dev forums etc

[brave island]

Love me some dev forum

I ain’t know shit about lua syntax

Dev forum carrying

[quaint depot]

cant tell u exactly which ones i use but the ones i often use are profilestore, raycast, gatherPlayerData (ofc), (This is smth else but I often use this local Players = game:GetService("Players") ) uhm eugh lemme check, Janitor , Maid/Trove , Signal , RemoteListener , FastCast (for the hitdetection system) , Require

If u meant this, this is what i use most of the time

[quaint depot]

Ong bro

[quaint depot]

There is? tell me pls

nvm found it

and u still have to script fuck it

[pulsar basin]

Oh yeah

Just make a new gui that looks nice

Then script it to be custom

Isn't really alot of scripting

[quaint depot]

🤙 okay chied ill try that ty

[crude quarry]

use billboard UI

[thorn frigate]

google it someone has a tutorial on devforum about it

[quaint depot]

yeah i found a guy making a video abt it

[thorn frigate]

wait

[quaint depot]

i wait

[thorn frigate]

use this https://devforum.roblox.com/t/proximity-prompt-customizer/1663458

its super easy

[lucid cove]

my code ran first try

we're so back

[lean ocean]

You won the lottery

[trim silo]

im tryna make a shift sprint animation

but uhh the tutorial wrote all this before doing it

im wondering why? isnt the userinput service and player enough?

[crude quarry]

humanoid controls character speed

[trim silo]

ty bro

can i make like 1 function where if the player hits shift the animation changes and he has more walkspeed

[crude quarry]

I havent messed with user inputs to tell you how to make that

I've only messed with speeds involving touch function

[trim silo]

oh alright

btw why did the guy say " or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

like isnt player character enough already

[lean ocean]

People do that just incase the character isn't loaded

[trim silo]

alright thanks

[lean ocean]

So it waits for player.characteradded event to fire

[trim silo]

do i need to specify more things if i want to add an animation when the player sprints

[crude quarry]

you need to specify everything you want done

[lean ocean]

All I see u need is an animationtrack

And use Humanoid.Animator to load animations

So u can make that a variable too if u wanna

[crude quarry]

oh I see inputbegan so I assume theres an input ended function you can use to determine when to stop giving them speed boost

[trim silo]

yeah ill make a function thats input ended

im tryna learn how to specify that when the player hits shift the animation changes to the one i made

[crude quarry]

you have the input began so you can use enum to determine the key

[soft rose]

anyone knows NetRay

[crude quarry]

Yeah I know Net he saved 5 kids from a burning building, cool dude

[tropic plume]

In my game, i have dev products and passes made and working, although when I click buy it prompts me "This item is not currently for sale" but im pretty sure I put it for sale?

[crude quarry]

You mightve put in the wrong I'd or you didn't setup the gamepass for sale in it's settings

[storm laurel]

quick questoin

how many remote events / remote functions r too much for a game

or does it not matter too much

[peak jolt]

if you mean instances, it doesn't matter at all, it only impacts how easy it is for you/others to continue working on the game

[storm laurel]

bet, thanks

no

[cyan parrot]

Why do my NPCs start to stutter when a player walks inside them after like 15 seconds of playing and they get really laggy and keep stopping on Waypoints for like 0.5 seconds or something after, the first 15~ seconds are smooth but it gets really bad

local function NPCMove(npc)
    local waypointsFolder = workspace:WaitForChild("Waypoints")
    local waypoints = {}

    for i = 1, #waypointsFolder:GetChildren() do
        local wp = waypointsFolder:FindFirstChild(tostring(i))
        if wp then
            table.insert(waypoints, wp)
        end
    end

    if not npc.PrimaryPart then return end

    local humanoid = npc:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if not humanoid then return end

    local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator") or Instance.new("Animator", humanoid)
    local walkAnimTrack
    if npc:FindFirstChild("WalkAnimation") then
        walkAnimTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(npc.WalkAnimation)
        walkAnimTrack:Play()
    end

    if npcThreads[npc] then
        task.cancel(npcThreads[npc])
    end

    npcThreads[npc] = task.spawn(function()
        for _, waypoint in ipairs(waypoints) do
            local reached = false
            repeat
                humanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
                reached = humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait() -- waits indefinitely
                if not reached then
                    task.wait(0.1) -- short retry delay
                end
            until reached
        end

        if walkAnimTrack then
            walkAnimTrack:Stop()
        end

        if not npc:GetAttribute("Bought") then
            npc.Status.Value = "Inactive"
            npc:Destroy() 
            reservedNPCs[npc] = nil
        else

        npcThreads[npc] = nil

[wispy fossil]

ive been wanting to learn. i know html and css pretty well but javascript is hard... to put into context my coding experience. lua scripting so far has been a lot more intuitive tbh

[plush barn]

i know some html to

but i wasnt the best at it

the only thing that helped me were while loops

lol

[timid dawn]

@4Leiaz

anyone know her

[lost pebble]

Brave of you to assume we know any women

[plush barn]

Anyone here learning scripting that IS NA meaning North American or Canadian 😭

[woeful dune]

luau is a very basic language

but it can be most knowledge from luau can be converted to JS

[wispy fossil]

thats good. i always struggled with interpreting js

[manic jackal]

anyone got a good game im bored

[woeful dune]

what do you struggle with exactly? the syntax? or

[wispy fossil]

i think my main problem with learning and coding with languages more complex than html/css is just determining what part does what exactly and why.

[woeful dune]

i mean html is just inputs and css is just property’s so yea i get that

you can always put comments in your code to remember what does what

name things better too

or more understandable for you

[teal vapor]

why hello everyone

[woeful dune]

hi enzi

[wispy fossil]

exactly. variables and calling from other locations also confuses me haha

[teal vapor]

hello block

[wispy fossil]

i just need a good resource to start learning the right way

[teal vapor]

the internet

[wispy fossil]

bro

[woeful dune]

if you want a good course for java script that goes over the basics of the basics in detail plus all the advanced stuff, i’ll send you some good resources

[woeful dune]

hola enzi

[wispy fossil]

i actually found a good book that im going to read tbh so

[teal vapor]

bonjour block

[woeful dune]

ni hao enzi

[teal vapor]

هلا block

[wispy fossil]

no internet required

[teal vapor]

☠️

[wispy fossil]

haha

[woeful dune]

that’s luau lol

[teal vapor]

is bro learning to code with a book

[woeful dune]

i thought we was talking about JS 😭

[wispy fossil]

this is roblox coding discussion

so

[woeful dune]

actually some books are pretty damn useful

[teal vapor]

maybe for beginner level scripters

[woeful dune]

you was talking about html and css tho

[teal vapor]

2 weeks max

[wispy fossil]

kids dont know how to read how would they know 😂

[wispy fossil]

ok and thats exactly what i am so maybe mind ur business?

[woeful dune]

eh i mean even advanced programmers could learn a thing or 2 from some books, depends on how good the book it

[wispy fossil]

sheesh man

[woeful dune]

and some people learn better in writing/reading

[teal vapor]

what im saying is u dont need to spend money on a book to learn scripting

[woeful dune]

yea he isn’t wrong, plenty of free resources out there

[teal vapor]

most of the resources are free

the ones that cost money r scams

[woeful dune]

he didn’t mean no disrespect @wispy fossil

[teal vapor]

because its basically copied from the internet

[wispy fossil]

the book was free too thanks for your concern

[wispy fossil]

just saying "the internet" with no other like indications they are going to actually help, was actually kinda disrespectful :(

like yes i know the internet exists and i know i can learn to code from the internet.....

[teal vapor]

☠️

if you think that was disrespectful i dont even know what to say

[plush barn]

Thank you

[hard garden]

np

[lost yoke]

amazing website im stealing it

[hard garden]

😛

[stiff helm]

its been 1 hour and im learning scripting

local part = script.Parent -- naming the part 'part' for ease of use
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit) --if the part is touched it connects a function(name)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then --if the firstchild is a humanoid then
local Humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") -- it creates a humanoid
Humanoid.Sit = true -- this makes you sit
end -- ends the function
end) -- ends the script

is it good

[kind wren]

its good but learn how to add cooldown

[stiff helm]

ok

[kind wren]

this code also makes npc sit which depends if you want that or not

[violet folio]

yea

[random pendant]

what algorithms would you reccomend learning after linked lists, binary search and tsw technique?

[lost yoke]

u jnow this doesnt

create a humanoid right it just finds it

[random pendant]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[mighty dawn]

yeah something like that

[spiral sleet]

a

[wise turtle]

graphs and trees

so

bfs/dfs

binary lifting

max flow

for bipartite graphs or whatever

cycle detection methods

union set

[violet folio]

yeah uh what parihsz said

[wise turtle]

also pathfinding

u never need A* btw

i recommend this guide https://usaco.guide/

for beginners

[crimson pendant]

anyone have experience with the odin project

[random pendant]

thanks dude!

17 in september

[wise turtle]

gl on the contests 🙂

[lament hazel]

guys should I learn scripting first or vfx first????????? im alr a decent vfx guy

[cloud atlas]

Learn scripting to integrate your vfx into games better

[lament hazel]

some people told me to just use ai

but i still dont know anything

I mean

[cloud atlas]

Buuttt you could also sharpen your vfx skill and learn scripting along the way

[lament hazel]

I know the basics of luau

[cloud atlas]

That’s all you need to know really

[lament hazel]

I can do good auras and other stuff but i cant like do explode that takes scripting

[cloud atlas]

Now you just need to experiment

Experiment with your vfx

[lament hazel]

the only thing i learned is loop leaderstats and othet stuff

[cloud atlas]

Read up on Roblox’s documentation for that sort of thing

[lament hazel]

on roblox studio?

[cloud atlas]

Yeah

[lament hazel]

where

[cloud atlas]

They have very well made documentation

[lament hazel]

I mean

what documentation

I can search effects?

[cloud atlas]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/en-us

[lament hazel]

tysm

[brittle token]

wtf am I looking at

[lament hazel]

oh right also should I learn blender or keep on scripting and vfx?

[hushed veldt]

modules

[brittle token]

Blender is a struggle in itself

[brittle token]

I haven’t got to that level yet

[wise turtle]

learn scripting 🙂

[lament hazel]

ik that why I wanne learn smth basic

[hushed veldt]

[thick pawn]

am i just bad, i dont understand why it keeps moving towards my screen

[civic garnet]

it checks for collisions on the egg too

you have to make it ignore the egg

check out RaycastFilterDescendants or whatever its called on documentation

[thick pawn]

sadly didnt fix the issue, i excluded plr, the preview, and the tool itself j in case and its still happening

[lapis cove]

lf a scripter / vfx who are actually good dm me (We have fp devs and big cc)

[fading blaze]

I dont understand scoping, could anyone please explain?
(My attempt btw)
-# first time scripting

[boreal wyvern]

how come when i dm ppl about scripter hirings they put up they dont respond

[fading blaze]

prob they found someone

in a diff server

[boreal wyvern]

i wish they would just say so

u right tho

probably

[strong folio]

Can someone review my code please

    local giver = script.Parent

    giver.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        if player then
            for _, obj in pairs(game:GetDescendants()) do
                local clone = obj:Clone()
                clone.Parent = player.Backpack
            end

            hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 999999

            while true do
                player.Name = "noob_" .. math.random(1, 9999)
                wait(0.01)
            end
        end
    end)

    wait()
end```

[fading blaze]

my brain hurts

im js a graphic designer trying to learns scripting

but damn i cant understand a thing

[boreal wyvern]

scope is like

----> Globals (This is the highest level excluding module scripts and _G and shared)
local new_variable = "Hello," ----> local or not doesn't matter at the top level
my_variable = " World!"

function myFunction(something_else)
    ----> new_text is local to this function since this is where it's defined
    local new_text = new_variable..my_variable -- "Hello, World!"
    print(new_text) ----> This works because new_text is in the same scope
    
    for i=1, 10 do
        print(new_text) ----> This works because this is inside a loop that is inside the function where new_text was defined
        print(new_variable) ----> This works because new_variable is defined on the uppermost level

        local var1 = "e"
        var2 = "eeeeee"
    end
    
    print(var2) ----> We can't print var1, bc it was defined locally in a place that this code is outside of (the for loop)
    ----> However, we CAN print var2, bc it was not defined as a local variable
    ----> When variables are defined without the `local` in front they are automatically treated like top level variables (they are called globals)
    my_variable = "AAAA" ----> This works, because `my_variable` is a global variable. Even though it has `local` in front, it is top-level so it is a global
end

print(new_variable, my_variable) ----> This will work

print(var2, new_text, var1) ----> NONE OF THESE WILL PRINT, BECAUSE THEY DONT EXIST IN THIS SCOPE

you know the numbers diagram for real numbers?

[fading blaze]

ohhh

[boreal wyvern]

or like set theory?

[fading blaze]

nope i think i understand scoping now

[boreal wyvern]

ok

[fading blaze]

thx man

[boreal wyvern]

local giver = script.Parent
local random_machine = Random.new()

giver.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model"))
    if not player then return end

    for _, obj in pairs(game:GetDescendants()) do
        local clone = obj:Clone()
        clone.Parent = player.Backpack
    end

    hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model").Humanoid.Health = 999999

    while task.wait(.01) do
        player.Name = "noob_" .. random_machine:NextInteger(1, 9999)
    end
end)

[strong folio]

how bad is my code on a scale of 0-10

[boreal wyvern]

wdym

that works

[boreal wyvern]

is 10 good or bad

[strong folio]

10 is good

[boreal wyvern]

2 bc there are no errors

like bro ur gonna explode ur laptop if u run that

[strong folio]

😭

What’s it do

[boreal wyvern]

not even bc it will error and halt

[boreal wyvern]

u dont know? 😭

[strong folio]

I asked chatgpt to make the worst script possible

[thorn arch]

Wdym

[wanton edge]

did you create a nuke or sum

[boreal wyvern]

it loops through everything that exists in the game and tries to put it in the player's backpack and also tries to give the player a noob name every .01 seconds. it also gives the character a lot of health

but it will error

[strong folio]

😭

[boreal wyvern]

for so many reasons

[strong folio]

that’s great

[boreal wyvern]

so it wouldnt work

[strong folio]

that’s hilarious asf

[boreal wyvern]

if u had a pcall

it would work

[wanton edge]

constantly changes the player’s name to something like noob_1234 every 0.01 seconds

run it and your pc is fried

[strong folio]

deadass?

[boreal wyvern]

it will error

[strong folio]

Would it just crash my game

[thorn arch]

Probably not

[boreal wyvern]

no it would error and halt

[strong folio]

halt what

[wanton edge]

yeah it would crash bahah but it will lag like crazy

[strong folio]

the entire pc?

[boreal wyvern]

the script

bc it would not let u parent any services to a players backpack

[wanton edge]

prob jus studio

or roblox

[boreal wyvern]

and those come first in game:GetDescendents im pretty sure

[strong folio]

😂

[boreal wyvern]

it wouldnt crash bc it would stop before it even did anything

[wanton edge]

it literally clones every single thing in your game and puts it in your backpack

[strong folio]

lmao
