[hallow crag]

nah im out

[weak radish]

you're stuck here forever

[minor cloak]

aight...

yeah ima learn it on my tutorial

soon

type shii

[hallow crag]

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

just read that

@minor cloak

[minor cloak]

okay ty

[weak radish]

me who intentionally adds backdoors cus exploiters deserve some fun

[minor cloak]

alrightn so

idk wth is "path"

OHH

i get it nvm

holy that was a stupid moment of mine

alright thats lowkey easy, i thought it would be hard.

[grizzled vine]

idk

guys usually how much time does ppl take when u dm them for the scripting work

[elfin timber]

do you destroy tools in a local or a serverscript?

[quaint anchor]

send a nuclear bomb to exploiters house

use ups mail

[hallow crag]

depends if the tool is client sided or not

if its cloned and parented on the server or placed in starterpack then server

[elfin timber]

server, kinda obvious

[hallow crag]

destroy on the server then

💔

[hallow crag]

tools can be client sided

dude

[elfin timber]

what i ment is

since its server, its kinda obvious where to do it

[hallow crag]

then why are u asking if u should destroy on server or not

when u know the answer

[elfin timber]

idk

just typing shit

https://tenor.com/view/bro-just-typing-shit-bro-just-typing-shit-gif-18336060238854257551

[burnt pulsar]

guys what should I make as a beginner dev?

[elfin timber]

https://tenor.com/view/ask-the-po-live-q-and-a-gif-17952075

[minor cloak]

make blox fruits

and make it as popular as grow a garden

🥶

[burnt pulsar]

🥶

[minor cloak]

watch a tutorial

brawlDev

has beginner and advanced

it teaches you everythin

[elfin timber]

i see better scripters do this often, what does this actually help with?

[burnt pulsar]

Alr

[crisp crest]

who can do this for 3 k robux

[thorn arch]

Intellisense

[minor cloak]

thats easy af

do a part, change texture

yk

[crisp crest]

whatch you say gng will you do it or not

[minor cloak]

idk how to but you should give less id say

3k is way too much for this simple job

[elfin timber]

3k is fitting imo

[lone marsh]

i can

[minor cloak]

id say 2k

[crisp crest]

alright let me say it again

[elfin timber]

idk maybe im not the person to decide cus i have tons of robux

[crisp crest]

who can do this shit for 2 k

[lone marsh]

i think they talking abt whole game chat

not just the board#

[minor cloak]

Daym

i got 147

so im not the one to judge

[elfin timber]

yea 3k might be a lot for u

[minor cloak]

not a lot tbh but yeah its somethin

[lone marsh]

can do it for 3k

[elfin timber]

you get the idea

[crisp crest]

ye then hop in my dms

[peak jolt]

can do it for 2999

[minor cloak]

wait he don't make it with code tho right?

[elfin timber]

wym

[minor cloak]

cause this is code discussion

and i don't think its code

is it?

ay btw im making 10k this summer

10k robux

i NEED to learn this

[serene warren]

brawl dev my goat

[minor cloak]

he is so good

i am learning so much in such a short period of time

[serene warren]

i love the way he explains

[minor cloak]

yeah me too

did you finish his tutorial?

[peak jolt]

makes it more readable, makes it easier to understand what the parameters are in some cases, allows using --!strict for compile time type safety, intellisense will show you the types, and sometimes it can lead to more optimized compilation (though I wouldn't rely on that or see it as a significant benefit)

[serene warren]

no just watched a couple videos when i was lost like teleport service, remote functions etc

but that was like a year ago

[minor cloak]

i was like you like a year ago

and stopped scripting

but now i just wanted to actually follow a tuorial

[peak jolt]

you don't have to annotate every single variable, function and parameter you can just give types to a few, for example especially confusing or important ones

[serene warren]

bro i used to be a tutorial demon 2-3 years ago

[minor cloak]

lol

[serene warren]

i would follow roblox game tutorials and copy them 1:1 and learned nothing

[crisp crest]

who can do this shit for 2 thousand robux

[lean falcon]

True

[minor cloak]

nahh i don't mean it this way

but i was just like that a year ago

[serene warren]

ikik

[minor cloak]

now im studying the tutorials

like courses

[serene warren]

complex obby game for 2k bruh

[lean falcon]

What tutorials are you doing

[serene warren]

brawl dev courses 🤤

[minor cloak]

brawl dev

[crisp crest]

how much should it be

@serene warren

[lean falcon]

Sounds interesting? I don't know what that is, is that a person?

[minor cloak]

so you are paying 2 THOUSAND for a wall

[minor cloak]

but 2K FOR THIS

[crisp crest]

NO BUDDY NOT A WALL

[minor cloak]

like 15k

[crisp crest]

the mechanic

[serene warren]

idk how i would even make that but like minimum 10k

[minor cloak]

ohhh

[crisp crest]

dang bro must be the next jandel

[serene warren]

a really good person 🤝

[crisp crest]

talking dang big numbers

[serene warren]

thats just how it is around here im sorry

[minor cloak]

yes

he is very good at teaching code

[lean falcon]

Nest

Neat*

[minor cloak]

and his tutorials are 2024/25

[lean falcon]

I used to teach kids code

[minor cloak]

nice

[serene warren]

as a job?

i literally said im not doing it

[minor cloak]

nobody is using chat gpt for this

not possible id say

[lean falcon]

Yeah but it was more like a tutor or extracurricular

[serene warren]

yeah

[minor cloak]

i would have done it

but idk how

[serene warren]

this is like a 1 week project

[minor cloak]

yeah

[lean falcon]

I taught python and as a treat sometimes I taught them Luau in Roblox

[serene warren]

thats really cool

I SAID NO

GET OUT OF MY DMS

[minor cloak]

LMAOOOO

[lean falcon]

It was neat, garbage pay for the work though. Not worth it

[serene warren]

rip

[lean falcon]

Now I get paid to just code

[minor cloak]

are you good in lua?

[lean falcon]

I hope so

[minor cloak]

like do you know things like datastore, user input, ext?

[lean falcon]

It's my full time job

[minor cloak]

oh wow

[lean falcon]

Yeah

[minor cloak]

thats sick bro

[serene warren]

living my dream life

[minor cloak]

im 15 so im doing it for fun

[lean falcon]

Imagine being a full-time Roblox dev, wild

[serene warren]

im also 15

[lean falcon]

That's how I started

[minor cloak]

and studying in school

but id like to make money on my free time

as a roblox dev

[echo pilot]

That's what I'm aiming for rn ngl

[lean falcon]

Good keep at it, but don't use AI when you get stuck until you're completely out of options, then ask questions not for solutions

[minor cloak]

sick

[serene warren]

dude im about to release a game that i think will do well

[echo pilot]

17 and still learning

[serene warren]

if i could make enough money for university that would be sick

[minor cloak]

yeah thats what im doing haha

[lean falcon]

What're you making?

[echo pilot]

Fr 😭🙏

[serene warren]

its a cash grab dont worry about it

😉

[minor cloak]

i made an obby that got 1200 visits

[lean falcon]

Good you're gonna soar over the AI plebs

[lean falcon]

Lmao

[serene warren]

grow a garden im coming for you

[minor cloak]

i was like one of em once it sucks

[echo pilot]

Wait Donazo how much do u roughly make, unless that's rude to ask

[minor cloak]

i can do what took me 100h in 30 mins

[crisp crest]

@lean falcon are you open for commisions?

[minor cloak]

was gonna ask that too, if you feel comfortable

[lean falcon]

Depends on the commission

[echo pilot]

Inquisitive minds think alike

[serene warren]

get outta here and post in the hiring channels

[minor cloak]

🙂

[lean falcon]

I'm getting ~18-25 USD hourly, I don't want to be too specific

[minor cloak]

ill go learn lua, cya guys

[crisp crest]

can you make this mechanic in my game @lean falcon for a price you name

[minor cloak]

thats sick

[echo pilot]

That's great

How long u been scripting?

[lean falcon]

It's gonna get bumped up when the game comes out if it's successful

[minor cloak]

ill play it

[serene warren]

what kinda game is it?

[echo pilot]

For sure ima test it out too

[minor cloak]

im learning about security now

[lean falcon]

Scripting like 12+ years, professionally ~7

[minor cloak]

wow

[echo pilot]

Damn

I'm on like my first week 😭

[lean falcon]

Everything I can tell you about it is in the server in my bio, which isn't much

[lean falcon]

Gotta start somewhere

[echo pilot]

Fr best thing you can do is just start

[crisp crest]

@lean falcon

[serene warren]

good luck

[serene warren]

oh ok

[echo pilot]

Thanks bro

[lean falcon]

I could make it

I'm under NDA sorry

Hopefully we'll have teasers out soon

[crisp crest]

what is NDA?

[lean falcon]

No disclosure agreement

I can't talk about what I'm making

[crisp crest]

ill search that on google give me a second

[lean falcon]

But I'm not just the programmer I'm the development lead

[crisp crest]

oh so you cant make the commision then?

[lean falcon]

I can make commissions I just can't talk about what I'm currently making

For my current employer

[crisp crest]

so you mean you cant update me from time to time

its alr

ill give you 1 week deadline

[lean falcon]

It's probably more worth your money to hire someone with less experience for a commission, I'd be expensive

[crisp crest]

i can give 10 thousand

[lean falcon]

10 thousand robux?

[crisp crest]

yes

[echo pilot]

Damn

[lean falcon]

I get paid the equivalent of that at dev ex exchange rate in ~1 hour

[crisp crest]

dang thats more than a mc donald employe gte in 7 days

[serene warren]

literally stop

[lean falcon]

A less experienced programmer would probably jump at it

[serene warren]

in one day

[lean falcon]

Well actually for everything you're asking for I don't think so

Thats a lot for 10k

Specifically swing, depending on what you mean by that

[crisp crest]

i just said that because you said its your full time job so i thought 30 dollars = 10 k would be alright for a grown adult or who take roblox as his job to make

[lean falcon]

Well yeah for an hour of my time

[crisp crest]

not just a 13 yr old kid whos doing commissions

[serene warren]

do you actually think he could make that in an hour

maybe a couple hours

[lean falcon]

It's not the most complicated thing, but yeah it'd be more than 1 hour

[crisp crest]

ill give 70 percent upfront payment

[serene warren]

still going huh

[lean falcon]

Either way I need to focus on my current game, I have a playtest coming up this weekend

[serene warren]

hope your game goes well bro

[crisp crest]

try to do it in 1 hour?

[lean falcon]

Thanks bro

Your description barely even says how the mechanics work

[serene warren]

can you atleast talk about what platform its gonna release to or no

steam game?

[lean falcon]

It's a Roblox game, it's in my bio

[crisp crest]

wait look again

[serene warren]

full time roblox dev thats fire

[echo pilot]

Word.

[lean falcon]

Yeah, but I'm the lead dev

I do everything

[serene warren]

its the same thing.

[echo pilot]

Still fire ngl

[lean falcon]

I don't make assets but I put it all together

[serene warren]

still fire

[hexed cedar]

How long you been programming?

[lean falcon]

And lead the dev team

[serene warren]

what

so whos paying you

[lean falcon]

Around 15 years

My employer?

[hexed cedar]

Boomer 😒

[serene warren]

oh yeah

[serene warren]

👴

[crisp crest]

i got scammed yesterday from a guy who i offered to do the same commision as i told you to do i gave him his robux when he finished the comm then he blocked me

[lean falcon]

Millenial not boomer

Tyvm

[crisp crest]

this is him

[lean falcon]

Womp

[serene warren]

yes because nobody is accepting your commision

just try and do it yourself

[lean falcon]

Well I obviously wouldn't scam you but I'm not that interested and I'm busy

[crisp crest]

as you want anyways wish you luck in your game

[lean falcon]

Tyvm

If you guys have any questions lmk

[serene warren]

dude im never ranking up as a scripter

ive been an intermediate my whole life

i think i just need experience

[hexed cedar]

Then start practicing

[serene warren]

how to go from intermediate to advanced

do i have to learn frameworks now

[hexed cedar]

I have no idea, I’m also an intermediate 💀

[serene warren]

bro 💀

[hexed cedar]

😂

I’d assume practicing stuff your not comfortable with

practice Advanced concepts, frameworks OOP etc…

[serene warren]

ive never laid a single finger on a framework before

do you know which ones are good?

[digital dew]

Honestly check the docs for shit u dont know and learn frameworks

[still token]

how do i do code bracket stuff in discord again

[marsh anvil]

a lot of people say to learn luau u should just bruteforce reading documents but what documents do i read

[serene warren]

work on a project --> find something you dont know how to do --> look it up on the dev forum --> repeat

[marsh anvil]

bet 👍

[echo pilot]

Yo other than scripting is there anything else you should have as like a secondary skill or should you just hone your craft in one skill?

[sturdy bridge]

bro this is so hard i tap out

i cant even make a basic inventory system D:

[serene warren]

depends

if youre a full stack you gotta learn like everything

but if you have a dev team try to hone in on one or two skills (for example i do UI and client sided scripting because in my dev team we have a modeller, animator, server sided scripter, etc)

[digital dew]

Me personally i script and do ui, and kinda model but i mostly focus on scripting (i do solo dev)

[echo pilot]

OK I see

Thanks for some insight

[willow wedge]

I would say ui, modeling and mabye lil bit of animation

[echo pilot]

Yh yh bet

[gusty solar]

hi

[gusty solar]

nobody fucking dies when they get parried

[buoyant junco]

they just get ragdolled, never get up though

[hexed cedar]

What

[buoyant junco]

npc is broken

[hexed cedar]

I would hate that as a player

[buoyant junco]

really?

[gusty solar]

nah who doesn't like getting ragdolled forever because you got parried

[buoyant junco]

isnt in deepwoken and other it is like that, except it just a stun for a small second.

[gusty solar]

there isnt that big of a punishment when u get parried in deepwoken

yes they can hit back but not always

and you can always avoid it in some way

it's actually skill based

[crisp crest]

who can put this shit in my game gets 1 thousand robux

[buoyant junco]

That is true

u right im wrong.

[serene warren]

you went down to 1k?

nobody is never ever accepting this

[eternal apex]

hows it lookin

[digital dew]

Cool

[serene warren]

awesome

[serene warren]

did you use getpartsinpart to check if parts are overlapping?

[eternal apex]

nah

[serene warren]

then what? I NEED TO KNOW!!

[eternal apex]

its just colision stuff really

[hasty oak]

i don't know how to feel about this

[serene warren]

oh

[hasty oak]

placing blocks doesn't really work well without a grid

[eternal apex]

well

I did do grid stuff

then I wanted to test

this might be the vid

yeah there it is

[hasty oak]

nice

[serene warren]

clean

[hasty oak]

it always pissed me off so much that it doesn't align with the grid on the baseplate tho

[eternal apex]

I tried dude

just doesnt work

maybe i dont know what im doing but i even asked people here

[hasty oak]

move baseplate 1 stud on X and 2 studs on Z

or the other way

[serene warren]

just add an offset dude

[fiery spire]

Just add an offset to the rounded position

[eternal apex]

never really tried doing that before, can you help me with that

[fiery spire]

There should be a variable or whatever holding the snapped position right. You can try to add a vec3 to the variable and adjust it little by little and see which aligns with the texture most

[serene warren]

• Vector.new(2, 0, 2)

[eternal apex]

should I add to here

[serene warren]

in the return

i guess

return Vector3.new(snappedX, snappedY, snappedZ) + Vector3.new(2, 0, 2)

[eternal apex]

oh damn

you fixed it

thanks man

[serene warren]

np

[eternal apex]

Ngl, the intention at first was like a system to place things like a TDS game or a DOT team with cones but it worked both ways I suppose

[sturdy bridge]

so smooth

[young rock]

local Rarities = 
    {
        ["Common"] = 50,
        ["Uncommon"] = 20,
        ["Rare"] = 10,
        ["Epic"] = 7,
        ["Legendary"] = 3
    }

local RandomNumber = math.random(1, 100)
local Count = 0
for Rarity, Chance in Rarities do
    Count += Chance

    if RandomNumber <= Count then
        print(Rarity)
        break
    end
end

Wouldnt a rarity system like this get affected by the order the for loop goes through that rarities table? If no, please someone explain😭

lets say there are two cases which have 2 for the randomnumber, in the first case it starts with the common rarity so its just 2 < 50 which is true

and in the second case it starts with the legendary rarity and its 2 < 3 which is also true

1: i get common
2: i get legendary

[hallow crag]

easy fix use numerical indexes

💔

[young rock]

thatd automaticly order it right

@hallow crag

[hallow crag]

yh

[young rock]

alr i have no idea why i couldnt think of that

thanks

[radiant island]

https://cdn.glitch.me/28689c84-e2c2-486e-a129-1de0f701b7b6/Placing.mp4?v=1744151856550 i like mine more tbh

[willow wedge]

What encoder you are using i cant watch it

[eternal apex]

very nice

[hallow crag]

ass add a place animation to the box

[eternal apex]

though, the ideas are a tad different

[scarlet dune]

Yo is there something wrong with animations rn

[gusty fog]

Did you figure this out? I can help

[young rock]

kind of

i can put rarities as indexes for that case but

local AxeInfos ={
    WoodenAxe = {Damage = 5, Rarity = 30},
    IronAxe = {Damage = 10, Rarity = 15},
    SpecialAxe = {Damage = 50, Rarity = 0.5},
    DiamondAxe = {Damage = 20, Rarity = 4.5}
}

how can i solve the issue if i have a table like this? Could you help please
@gusty fog

[remote gull]

any better way of doing this?

local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") :: Humanoid

[static coral]

Character.Humanoid

[remote gull]

i don't wanna be using waitforchild for every child of the character just to get type annotations

[remote gull]

i want it to be type checked

[static coral]

(Character :: any).Humanoid

local Humanoid: Humanoid = (Character :: any).Humanoid

[remote gull]

oh yeh i forgot i could do this

ty

[gusty fog]

local AxeInfos ={
  WoodenAxe = {Damage = 5, Rarity = 30},
  IronAxe = {Damage = 10, Rarity = 15},
  SpecialAxe = {Damage = 50, Rarity = 0.5},
  DiamondAxe = {Damage = 20, Rarity = 4.5}
}

local random = math.random() * 100
local itemName, item
for _itemName, _item in AxeInfos do
  if (random > _item.Rarity) then
    continue
  end
  if (not item) or (_item.Rarity < item.Rarity) then
    itemName, item = _itemName, _item
  end
end

print("Random:", itemName)

[warm flicker]

how do you make the code look like that

[young rock]

ohh

why doesnt anybody on yt or forums use something like this

thank you

[gusty fog]

Make sure to add an item for 100% chance if you want it to always return an item

[gusty fog]

```lua
print("hi")

[young rock]

what if i put total rarity instead of 100

math.random() * totalrarity

[warm flicker]

thx

local iq = massive

[young rock]

local function GetTotalRarity()
    local Total = 0
    for AxeName, AxeData in AxeStats do
        Total += AxeData.Rarity
    end
    
    return Total
end

[warm flicker]

thx yall

[gusty fog]

I guess, but that's confusing to configure. These would be ratios in that case and not rarity %

[young rock]

yeah i mean ill make sure the rarities add up to 100

but this is incase if they dont

then i could maybe make a function which gives the rarity as a percentage

[gusty fog]

Basically the actual chance to get the woodenaxe is 15% here

30% is the threshold

[sweet wharf]

i implemented a camera sway & view bobbing system that also allows you to see your character model, but my character model now shakes when i turn the camera. can someone help me?

[young rock]

is that if i use total rarity

[young rock]

local function GetRarityPercentage(TotalRarity, Rarity)
    return Rarity/TotalRarity*100
end

something like this maybe

[gusty fog]

That's at least what the code currently does

If you would want to show the chances in a UI then you'd need to display the difference between each Chance

[young rock]

oh yeah

but in the code you sent, theres a 50% chance to get nothing?

@gusty fog

[gusty fog]

70% chance to get nothing

[sweet wharf]

i use sine waves for bobbing & it only activates when the player model moves. for mouse sway, i basically convert horizontal mouse movement into z axis rotation. i use renderstepped, delta time, and lerp functions as well

[young rock]

how, they add up to 50

[gusty fog]

These are thresholds

[boreal wyvern]

guys linux appeared should i be scared

[gusty fog]

You can generate a new chance table if you want it to be the exact chances you assigned them, but this makes it so you would need to make sure the chances all don't add up to more than 100%

[boreal wyvern]

its empty its just there

[elfin timber]

anyone got a good tutorial / resource on how to make a good dialog system?

[young rock]

yeah but i dont understand why its 70% to get nothing

when we add up the chances, its 50

and it multiplies the math.random() by 100

[gusty fog]

I didn't add the chances in my code example

[young rock]

no no like

oh

wait right its 70

sorry im kinda sleepy

@gusty fog thanks for everything

[coarse wraith]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/dialogue-kit-v25-fast-easy-interactive-dialogues-and-events/3548230

[lunar charm]

lads what do functions do?

[static coral]

anything u want them to

they are just variables for code itself

[elfin timber]

thanks, ill look into it. just spent about 3 hours on a dialog system just for it to be a mess i dont wanna work with.

[lunar charm]

so i can make a funciton that helps me bag a fine shyt?

[static coral]

probably

[lunar charm]

bang on

love

[coarse wraith]

they are slaves so anything

[sweet wharf]

i implemented a camera sway & view bobbing system that also allows you to see your character model, but my character model now shakes when i turn the camera. can someone help me?
i use sine waves for bobbing & it only activates when the player model moves. for mouse sway, i basically convert horizontal mouse movement into z axis rotation. i use renderstepped to handle bobbing and sway, delta time to ensure its all working the same at diff FPS, and lerp functions for swaying

[jaunty herald]

yo how do people track how many total copies of an item exists

is it memory service

or datastores

or something else

[static coral]

have a datastore for items and then increase the amount for a certain item when its obtained

[jaunty herald]

i tried that but rates are limited, so idk how efficient that is

maybe i need to save it every few minutes

[weak radish]

just use a global datastore and update async and get async

[oak verge]

im stealing this UI btw

[normal bane]

elif
elif
elif
elif
elif
elif

[jaunty herald]

its this game https://www.roblox.com/games/81470928676259/untitled-murder-game

they have pretty nice ui

and ui animations

[gloomy leaf]

.

[normal bane]

😫 why they be making these emojis brah

😩 what could this possibly mean

[hallow crag]

global datastore

and only fetch exist count every 30 seconds or so

so u dont get rate limited

[coarse wraith]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/physics-based-spring-module-v20/1287742

once you figure out how to use this

you wont have problems with stuttering anymore

[sweet wharf]

dyk why stuttering happens

[jaunty herald]

alright thanks

[hallow crag]

and always use pcall

so it doesnt break ur entire code

incase of a error

[jaunty herald]

ok got it

[coarse wraith]

no clue but i never had to worry about ever since i started using that module

[hallow crag]

use os.clock to calculate delta time, use heartbeat loop and always remember to clamp delta time below 1

In Roblox Studio, is it possible to put a special part inside a car so that when a player sits in a specific seat, their camera switches to that part? The camera should act like a freecam — the player can look around with the mouse and zoom in/out, but not move with WASD. Also, since the car is moving, the camera moves with it because it’s attached to the part inside the car.

[willow wedge]

Yes

Cross-posting final boss

[viscid orbit]

LMAO

[fresh sphinx]

yoo im uploading animations but only i can see them how do i make em that everyone can see them, its giving an error for them

[dark juniper]

Publish to group

Roblox makes animations only play in games under the groups their published in

This is so exploiters can’t steal animations

Since they need to be visible locally to be able to be used

[fresh sphinx]

but what iff the game is published under no group how then

[mint cloud]

Ngl that gets the gpt seal of approval

[viscid orbit]

thanks the gpt

Hello all!
I'm doing some little benchmarks to gather data on Roblox thread execution speeds, if anyone is in Roblox Studio and has a second I'd love to know what this snippet outputs for y'all when ran outside of a playtest along with what "quality" of computer you ran it on(i.e generally a low, mid, or high-end PC) 🙂

local function chkTimings() local l=0 local et = (os.clock() + 0.002) while os.clock() < et do l+=1 end return l end local avg = 0 for i=1,100 do avg += chkTimings() end avg/=100 warn(avg)```

[normal bane]

my honest opinion:

[frail yarrow]

Theres no roblox thread stuff going on here

[dark juniper]

Ok sure I’ll do it when I get home

What are you trying to use it for if I may ask?

[crisp crest]

@dark juniper are you open for comms?

[dark juniper]

whatcha need coded

[crisp crest]

I need a system that make me the player if press a part in 40 studs range go to it and if he hold left click plus right click on it swing on that part.

[dark juniper]

[bold basin]

hey yall im making a game where u can place eggs and they will automatically open, but do yall know what code i could use to make the system look similar to grow a gardens egg opening animation?

[full yoke]

why is pathfinding so ahh

[lost yoke]

@silk saddle keep all hiring to marketplace

[copper apex]

Is quenty's spring module from his nevermore engine still good

[silk saddle]

Alr

[vast finch]

Are you really the creator of Zo

[fossil burrow]

indeed

[hexed cedar]

Never

[vast finch]

Never expected to meet the owner

Wow

Are you a scripter or?

[uneven jolt]

dictionaries are faster than tables right?

[cosmic tiger]

anybody familiar with programming with bots?

[uneven jolt]

so i should do table[v.Name] = v rather than table.insert(table,v)

or is it just micro-optimization at this point

[steady ether]

I NEED HELP

i watched all of brawl devs vids

and i needa know how to expand on my learning

im able to make simple things now

but it wont cut it

[hollow goblet]

what do you need help with?

@steady ether

[steady ether]

how do i expand on my learning

[hollow goblet]

hire someone

[steady ether]

wdym

[hollow goblet]

what do you need help with?

[hollow goblet]

coding?

[uneven jolt]

this is mine now

[steady ether]

yea

what did u guys do after learning the basics

[hollow goblet]

it takes a while.

[steady ether]

cuz u dont just magically learn after years

[steady ether]

explain please

[uneven jolt]

you kind do actually

just work on making random things

youll slowly start to learn how everything works, just by doing it'

[steady ether]

o

so no yt vids to help ?

[uneven jolt]

youll get to a point where you start questioning "How can I do X better?" so youll go to research iit

[steady ether]

ohh

[uneven jolt]

theres a bunch of youtube videos, but you shouldnt just dive right to tutorials on everything, learn the basics and start making small simple things

[stuck palm]

It’s kinda like the yt tutorials give you the tools you need to start creating on ur own

[steady ether]

yea

[uneven jolt]

^^^

[steady ether]

but they dont give everything u need

[uneven jolt]

Because you have to challenge yourself

[steady ether]

but i see what u mean

[stuck palm]

You just need foundations the rest of advanced stuff you kinda naturally know what you need in order to make it work. And even if u don’t know how to execute it forums exist

[steady ether]

ur right

[uneven jolt]

thats literally how i learned lol

[steady ether]

forums?

[uneven jolt]

https://devforum.roblox.com

the dev forums

[stuck palm]

Im a retired coder so i dont even know how to do it anymore but thats how i learnt too and made quick robux

[steady ether]

ok perfect

[uneven jolt]

Resources might help you alot

[stuck palm]

Do NOT use ChatGPT back in my day it was useless

[cyan gazelle]

how would i make a custom shift lock that follows the players head part?

[steady ether]

i always use it when i make a mistake in code

[hollow goblet]

yi

yo

[cyan gazelle]

hmm

[stuck palm]

Idk if it’s gotten better in my day it was utterly useless

[uneven jolt]

its alot better now

[cyan gazelle]

btw its not mine its jst an example

[stuck palm]

I quit coding when Roblox added its own ai thing to its own script coding

[steady ether]

yea

[uneven jolt]

i personally dont use it because I like writing it all myself so I fully understand it

but its a good tool, not a do it all for you

[steady ether]

ok i think ik what to do now

[steady ether]

thanks, much love

Was to lazy to learn how to rotate so I got ai to do this simple task so I can atleast look at it and see what is going on and maybe change it up if soome things are wrong but i was NOT expecting this lmao 😭 idk if I put in the ]1 part that might have been me on accident idk tho but the self.render() += 20 is hilarious lol

def render(self, surface):
        surface.blit(self.img, self.pos)
    
def rotate_rect(self, surface):
    # Example: rotate by 90 degrees and draw (for demonstration)
    rotated_img = pygame.transform.rotate(self.img, 90)
    rect = rotated_img.get_rect(center=self.rect.center)
    surface.blit(rotated_img, rect.topleft)

def gravity(self):
  if self.pos[1] + self.height >= 880:
    self.pos[1] = 880 - self.height
  else:
    self.pos[1] += 20

    self.rect.topleft = (self.pos[0], self.pos[1])
    self.render()1] += 20
        
    self.render()

[plush barn]

How do you apply one code to a lot of specific parts you what’s it to be for

[indigo thorn]

wym gimme an example

[plush barn]

Let’s say I want to make fall guys platforms that fall every time you touch it or just fades gradually and I have to make multiple parts like a lot, like a game of spleef, so instead of writing code for each of the blocks how could I apply to all

Im a beginner

[indigo thorn]

looping is an amazing thing example ; ```lua
local Parts = Folder:GetChildren()

local function Touch(part)
part.Touched:Once(function()
part:Destroy() -- just destroys rn if you want fade use tweenservice
end
end

for _, newpart in Parts do
Touch(newpart)
end```

[plush barn]

How do I apply it to all the parts like let’s say I have 50 what syntax or code would I use to apply it all or like how

Do I name the parts

[indigo thorn]

wym the code I sent above does apply it to every part

in a folder

specified

[gusty solar]

Hi

[indigo thorn]

loop goes through each part in a folder

[plush barn]

Oh ok

[indigo thorn]

or well

not just folders

[indigo thorn]

i still

[dark juniper]

@fossil burrow https://prnt.sc/-Qvk4C34yQEq

[indigo thorn]

would recommend trying to find a different way tho

cuz 50 touch parts

isnt really that good

[dark juniper]

not a play test

[plush barn]

Alr thanks you

[dark juniper]

published game

[indigo thorn]

id probably use a hitbox

attached to the char

[dark juniper]

lemme know if u want my specs

[uneven jolt]

Im sorry what

do dicts have a zero length

since its not numbered

[indigo thorn]

you acn only do hashtags on arrays, pretty sure

[uneven jolt]

wait yeah duh

holy brain freeze

[indigo thorn]

could loop and count

[gusty heron]

table.maxn() doesn't work on dictionaries either, nor #. I just count through mine

[uneven jolt]

I just realized i dont even need to check if its zero

[strange fern]

is it possible to force players into R6 then rescale their size to bigger, AI is telling me we cant rescale R6 is that true cuz i feel like its possible

[uneven jolt]

i was just being stupid

[indigo thorn]

like change player size? cuz you just change the scales inside of humanoid object

theres headscale

widthscale

sum sum

only changeable server side

forcing player into r6

is simple as

[gusty heron]

the room invasion continues

[indigo thorn]

going into gamesettings

and going into avatar

and selecting r6

[strange fern]

ya ya but i forced it to R6 already but when i try to rescale each parts it just bugs

[indigo thorn]

you cant scale a part directly

theres scales

by part i mean

character part

inside the humanoid object

[strange fern]

i dont get it 😓 im a beginner to

i tried everythign

even reposition each parts

[indigo thorn]

sec imma hop into studio rq

[fossil burrow]

Tables in Lua have two parts; an Array portion and a Hashmap(also known as a Dictionary) portion.
table.getn, the # operator, etc. return the length of this Array portion; any entries in the Hashmap portion are not included in this number!

[tired stag]

yo i had the same idea but never did it

[uneven jolt]

yeah that was a my bad i forgot about it

[indigo thorn]

this is what you mean by scale rightr

changing the size

[strange fern]

yepp but R6

[indigo thorn]

chunky boy here

oh r6

sec

[tired stag]

thank you for helping people

[indigo thorn]

longer messages sec lemme shorten

[mental tartan]

bro what happened to my code!!

[indigo thorn]

this is one example where it scales everything by a certain percent, it wont squash and stretch like the bodyheight properties though , youd have to code that in (atleast from first glance), I havent tried the code myself but it looks trustworthy enough so

devforum usually has all the answers to a problem

[rocky mica]

yo @indigo thorn

[indigo thorn]

exit and reenter studio, theres probably a keybind or sum dumb thing for this but idk it

[indigo thorn]

yo

[rocky mica]

u know how to fix output spamming stuff when I opened it even though I have nothing in it?

[indigo thorn]

wym, like when you first start up studio and see prints and stuff? those are your plugins

[rocky mica]

ive press cleared and play again it still spams non sense

[sturdy bridge]

working on a game for the first time, need some ideas for making money for the player.
i was thinking about using breakables (coins,crates etc.. to break, ) but i kinda wanna be unique, any ideas yall?

[green reef]

its probably one of ur plugins if not multiple

[indigo thorn]

tell me what it prints

or well spams

those are your scripts

wait

are those?

[rocky mica]

I have nothing in the game tho

[dark juniper]

wtf evil output

[indigo thorn]

looks like a script but its cloud sec

[sturdy bridge]

You're trying to access child instances of something that doesn't exist or hasn’t loaded. Fix this by:

Ensuring "Assets" and any other key folders/objects actually exist in the game hierarchy.

Using error handling or :FindFirstChild() for safety.

Making sure all dependencies are loaded before the script runs (especially if you're cloning assets dynamically).

[rocky mica]

Did I get hacked or smth??

[sturdy bridge]

i asked my manager

[strange fern]

thank youuu i tried using it and everything works but the head and accessories are still smalll

[rocky mica]

💀

[sturdy bridge]

If you send me the specific code from any of the scripts (e.g. Line 5 of ManagerPuzzle), I can show you exactly how to rewrite it.

[indigo thorn]

are you in a teamcreate place

[sturdy bridge]

holy chatgpt

[rocky mica]

nope

its still spammin

[rocky mica]

gng I just need to get rid of it

there no script ive inputed yet

[sturdy bridge]

tf

show me script

ill ask my manager

[rocky mica]

its the message I keep getting whenever I open output

its everything thats in output

[sturdy bridge]

is it a baseplate?

[rocky mica]

yes

[indigo thorn]

never seen this before ngl

[rocky mica]

dang

[indigo thorn]

a search tells me something about cloud saving

if you download the placefile and open it

does it appear

[rocky mica]

yeah thats what I figured

[sturdy bridge]

chatgpt says that brotaro

[rocky mica]

bro i legit have nothing in the game

[sturdy bridge]

NOTHING?

[rocky mica]

I load up a new baseplate

and that just randomly pops upp

[sturdy bridge]

You’ve got a plugin, package, or auto-loaded model that’s injecting scripts into your game without you knowing.

[indigo thorn]

chatgpt my homie, doesn't always work tho sadly, when is the ai takeover

[sturdy bridge]

it relies on context imo

[rocky mica]

must be

[indigo thorn]

it relies on data context does help, not enough data means worse info

[rocky mica]

fixed it

[sturdy bridge]

yeah

[sturdy bridge]

what was the issue

[indigo thorn]

nice

[sturdy bridge]

howd u fix it

[rocky mica]

it was a virus

[sturdy bridge]

LOL

[indigo thorn]

where was the virus

[rocky mica]

in my folder

ig someone imported it to me but it was very little text

oh well time to put it in everyone game now

LOL

nah jp

[indigo thorn]

thought so cuz viruses are a pain to deal with

[rocky mica]

I was the one who created it ;(

[indigo thorn]

its a plugin

probably

[rocky mica]

so i found da issue

nah it aint, its just disliked

why

idk, uncreativity ig?

[echo pilot]

I baso just started Scripting but I think aslong as u learn from it - use it to get a better understanding like ask it to set challenges ur good

[gloomy kiln]

i dont dislike it, its just peoples opinion

[sturdy bridge]

i feel like if anything it helps ideas become into reality

and your not held back as much

[gloomy kiln]

yep, what im TRYING to do

[gloomy kiln]

no i fairly script some stuff to be forreal

[echo pilot]

Practice makes perfect, repetition is key 🙏

[gloomy kiln]

but if theres like advanced ui shit i cant do, i use chatgpt

[strange fern]

can someone help me im still stuck on trying to rescale the size of the player while forcing it to r6 💔

[echo pilot]

Maybe yt tutorials can help get u a better grasp on stuff like tha

Set urself a 30 min timer to do it yourself, if you can't, it's OK to get assistance

[gloomy kiln]

yeah i did that, but i quit for school

[gusty solar]

guys if u ever add lag compensation to a hitbox system PLEASE add limits, im reading EZ Hitbox code and it hurts my eyes to see such insecure code. If you don't know, the client can literally spoof velocity on server

[gusty solar]

this also applies to anticheats, never use velocity. Use magnitude

[echo pilot]

Ohh

[gloomy kiln]

yo mind giving me yo script editor settings? 🙏

that legit looks cool

[echo pilot]

Insecure Code 😭

[gusty solar]

bro i want a real github theme too

this is actual github

not sutdio

[gloomy kiln]

oh shit mb

it still looks fire to be fair

@final pulsar how much GPT

[oblique halo]

guys what do i put as the argument

[sacred ore]

the player

the player you are fireing

[sacred ore]

if you want to fire all client then do FireAllClient

else do FireClient(Player)

[oblique halo]

thank you

[sweet roost]

an arguement is missing or its nil

[copper apex]

Use chatgpt to explain and learn, not to write for you

[copper apex]

Its called vibe coding

Its disliked cuz it raises issues about accountability and understanding

[echo pilot]

Fax

[umbral elbow]

i'm learning how to code and i just started tables. Bro, what the fuck is this?

[echo pilot]

Stuck on the same thing bro 😭

[umbral elbow]

but honestly chatgpt or roblox assistant is fire if you're coding and you get stuck on something

[final pulsar]

[static coral]

tables is a big topic cuz in luau tables are hashmaps, arrays, structs and classes all in one

so lock in 🥶

[umbral elbow]

ugh

this shit suckks

i literally understand 20% of what brawldev said in the video

my energy has been sucked out because of all the things my brain has been comprehending

its probably trying to get join data before it exists yet

[vital parrot]

weird is there a yield like a :Wait()

I can use?

uhhhh probably, you could repeat something until the player is fully loaded

run a check or something idk

How are you prompting your purchases

And are you using the correct ID?

[tropic plume]

yes

let me find the script rq

code of the day

[eternal apex]

what should I add?

[west hamlet]

add a anchor function

[eternal apex]

wdym

[west hamlet]

when a user like makes a tower make a function to anchor the block so it cant fall

[eternal apex]

it already anchors automatically

[west hamlet]

oh

[gusty heron]

Im trying to save a table of strings in a datastore. Right now it's empty, but if I save it as it is it says no tables allowed but when I JSONEncode it it says no strings allowed. what am I supposed to do bro

[west hamlet]

show full code

["foo", "bar"] -> db ?

[bleak topaz]

you can definitely save tables to a datastore

and string stoo

[gusty heron]

fixed it lol

[west hamlet]

maybe just do some

INSERT OR ABORT INTO DataStoreService VALUES (["stuff", "foo"])

json isnt really reliable

[gusty heron]

needed for it to be datastore and not ordereddatastore

[eternal apex]

Made a block generation system earlier today too

[west hamlet]

isnt datastore is just classes when used?

[gusty heron]

wdym OrderedDataStore can only store a number value because it is meant to use as a way to get pages of ordered user data

[cloud atlas]

Snap to grid

[surreal bolt]

#code-help

[west hamlet]

you said not a ordereddatastore

[eternal apex]

i got two systems, one has a snap to grid, this one doesnt

[gusty heron]

The problem was I was defining the DiscoveredData datastore as an OrderedDataStore which can only take number values; I was trying to save an array of strings (or an empty array, in this case) which was not permitted

[thorny parcel]

anyone plays gtnh

[gusty heron]

what that

[thorny parcel]

this

[west hamlet]

why do you need to order it?
just store as a dict then use a numbered index then the value is your list

[gusty heron]

My original plan was for players to see who has the highest amount of discovered rooms but in order to store how many rooms are discovered or the name of the room I had to resort to using a table of strings to save. I just forgot to adjust one of the variable definitions to fully impliment that change, which was what I fixed.

[west hamlet]

if you are doing that then just:

[gusty heron]

I can do that later, calculating the total rooms discovered by the number of unique strings in the rooms_discovered string table, saving that number in a ordereddatatable. I just needed a way to track unique discoveries for each player

[west hamlet]

why not just store the level name in the rooms_discovered list when they go in to the room

[gusty heron]

that's what I'm going to do. I'm just implimenting the basic save data system before getting to that part

[west hamlet]

and you don't really need a ordered db if you are doing that

[eternal apex]

minecraft generation

[gusty heron]

True, but maybe players want to know who has discovered the most rooms so I could make an ordereddatastore for that

[west hamlet]

just sort it by highest rooms discovered?

[gusty heron]

that's what I'll do when I get to it

[west hamlet]

just do it the normal way

then we follow the requirements

[gusty heron]

if I want to keep track of who has the most discovered rooms

[gusty heron]

idk what you mean the normal way. I'm storing the names of the discovered rooms for each player in a datastore?

[west hamlet]

sort the list then pick the highest score

[bleak topaz]

you should make it less random and more terrain-like

[west hamlet]

yeah

[gusty heron]

I need an OrderedDataStore to do that though if I want to get the highest of all players who have a key in the datastore, which I'm considering doing

[west hamlet]

use the SetAsync function

[light niche]

If you want sorted lists yes, use ODS

[gusty heron]

Guys I'm not saying this because I don't know how to do it. I'm just saying that because that's what I know what I need to do if that is the choice I make.

I'm not complaining about it. "ugh I have to make a OrderedDataStore"

[light niche]

What u complaining about so

[light niche]

This?

You can use another DS depending on what fields you’re saving

There where a Metadata thing that I believe can be assigned to store keys but not sure anymore never relied on this

[gusty heron]

I fixed that problem. I was just explaining what I did wrong and had planned to do or are planning to do lol

[light niche]

Oh nice

[gusty heron]

I would've used ProfileService if it supported OrderedDataStores but for my purposes I'm not really storing anything so complex

I just have datastores and construct a table for each player by loading each of them in

[west hamlet]

next time use a duck to explain your stuff then you'll find out the solution

[gusty heron]

I have ducks too but sometimes it's good to rely on people as well and excersice the social muscles that I lack

For detecting when the client enters a room is it best to just use a Runservice loop and use GetTouchingParts on the HumanoidRootPart or is there something more optimized?

[west hamlet]

when client touch start block

[gusty heron]

I mean in each room there is a sensor group that is invisible but it contains a part that takes up the entire shape of the room. I use it before spawning the room to check whether or not it would fit attached to a given door, so I suppose I would use that.

[hardy yew]

ahhh when I add more features, it makes me confused like what IntValue I added to players. I need to rewrite old script 😭

[next galleon]

that happens sometimes

[hardy yew]

do you have to any methods that i can control and make it clear?

[next galleon]

that's why writing with future updates in mind helps a lot with games

need good abstraction

[gusty heron]

the less things hard-coded the better

[hardy yew]

i made a lot of variables lol

[somber vault]

thats why i wrote my ui system to use folders and value objects

[burnt pulsar]

can someone explain what waitforchild is and all that thing, im relatively new to scripting

[polar marsh]

it waits for a child instance inside a thing until it exists

[burnt pulsar]

Alr

[burnt pulsar]

Ty

[white dock]

Does anyone have experience with Lua Heap ?

[sacred ore]

i do

[white dock]

Is this bad ? (Client)

Server

[somber vault]

Can you use anything better than that dogshit

[white dock]

?

[white dock]

wdym

[copper apex]

Lua heap is great

[sacred ore]

tbh js disconect connection after instance getting destroyed and your good

[polar marsh]

i think its fine

[white dock]

😭 😭

[spiral jungle]

Golly gosh

[white dock]

i already know , was wondering where is the memory leak

[white dock]

its so cooked man

[spiral jungle]

Maybe join the server and look at the F9 console

[polar marsh]

ok thats not fine

[white dock]

😭

[spiral jungle]

And then look at what script is using up all the memory

[white dock]

i checked i dont think its script related

or maybe it is 🫠

[spiral jungle]

It probably is

Maybe you’re forgetting to delete stuff

[sacred ore]

are you cleaning up connections and instance references

[polar marsh]

it might be due to having attachments not cleaned up later after use

not sure if its related to that

[white dock]

that make sense

[gusty heron]

what is that

[sacred ore]

lua heap is mainly the memmory usage of the client/server while connecting/disconnecting instances

your goal is to consume the least amount of memory

[gusty heron]

you mean like Instance.new() and :Destroy()?

[sacred ore]

and to disconnect connection after deleting an instance

[sacred ore]

almost

Actually it can be a lot of things, in the image that matrix_cheese sent earlier, he forgot to disconnect attachement after deleting a certain model

and so the attachements stacks, and use memory : this increase lag

[gusty heron]

Maybe I'm not getting enough context, but shouldn't attachments between parts in a model be inside a model so that they are destroyed when the model is destroyed?

[sacred ore]

you are right he destroy the attachement, he just don't disconnect it

this can be caused by a lot of factors, in this case i think that he forget to disconnect the event that fire the clonning

this cause a duplication everytime the event is fired

so the first fire works fine, 1 Instances, the second 2 Instances, the third 4 Instances etc.

[gusty heron]

exponential

[gusty fog]

I believe the words you're looking for are garbage collection and memory leaks

[gusty heron]

does anyone know how {} could become "[]" when stored in a table?

alr fixed it lol

[south roost]

function GonAwakening:start()
    -- Load the animation ONCE
    local AwakeningAnim = AnimHandler:playAnims(self.hum, "GonAwakening", false, 1)
    if not AwakeningAnim then
        warn("Failed to load GonAwakening animation")
        return
    end

    -- Pass the same animation track to your marker functions
    self:startSoundMarker(AwakeningAnim)
    self:startDialogueMarker(AwakeningAnim)
    self:endDialogueMarker(AwakeningAnim)
    self:stopSlowMarker(AwakeningAnim)

    -- Play the animation
    AwakeningAnim:Play()
    
    while not AwakeningAnim.IsPlaying do
        AwakeningAnim:Play()
        break
    end
end

i added this while loop but sometimes the animation wont play, how do i make it play 100% of the time

[opal sage]

Try this revised one I quickly did, and see if it works;

function GonAwakening:start()
    local AwakeningAnim = AnimHandler:playAnims(self.hum, "GonAwakening", false, 1)
    if not AwakeningAnim then
        warn("Failed to load GonAwakening animation")
        return
    end

    self:startSoundMarker(AwakeningAnim)
    self:startDialogueMarker(AwakeningAnim)
    self:endDialogueMarker(AwakeningAnim)
    self:stopSlowMarker(AwakeningAnim)

    if AwakeningAnim.IsPlaying then
        AwakeningAnim:Stop()
    end
    
    task.wait()
    AwakeningAnim:Play()
    task.wait(0.1)
    
    if not AwakeningAnim.IsPlaying then
        AwakeningAnim:Play()
    end
end

Should fix the issue you're having.

[south roost]

thanks, ill try it now

[sturdy stag]

guys if any one want to debug thier game i have 1 year of experience of scripting dm me if you want i wil take robux the payment will be discussed

[native crown]

Hey guys. I’m pretty knowledgeable I would say when it comes to development as I have made games before. However something I struggled or am thinking I did wrong is script executing. In previous games I’d invoke scripts in an order. For example have a player handler script then when it’s done it invokes the data store script which will invoke the plot script.

I’m wondering if this is the proper method to do things. Any ideas otherwise

[polar marsh]

if u are first getting player data and then create the plot based on player data then its a good practice

[tired fulcrum]

cuz skill issue ngl

random youtube script detected

or ai

[rocky mica]

??

It works perfectly until it get to the bottem part to unequip

@tired fulcrum

[tired fulcrum]

yes 100% ai

[rocky mica]

gng its not ai 💀

[tired fulcrum]

ai gives trash codes and that 100% ai

[rocky mica]

its not

100% not ai ill tell u that

lol

[glad apex]

This is definitely AI code

Learn how to script please

[rocky mica]

gng its not

[lean ocean]

whyd u delete it

[glossy swan]

Ez

[hallow crag]

if not game:IsLoaded() then
    game.Loaded:Wait()
end

task.wait(3)

local local_player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local chat = game:GetService("Chat")
local string = tostring(math.random())

Instance.new("BoolValue", chat).Name = string

local meta_table = setmetatable({}, {
    __mode = "v"
})

while task.wait() do
    meta_table[1] = {}
    meta_table[2] = chat:FindFirstChild(string)

    while meta_table[1] ~= nil do
        meta_table[3] = string.rep("ab", 2048)
        meta_table[3] = nil
        task.wait()
    end

    if meta_table[2] ~= nil then
        local_player:Kick("You a \u{006E}\u{0069}\u{0067}\u{0067}\u{0061} for running dex")
    end
end

[glossy swan]

Nope

It's much more simpler

[hallow crag]

GetAssetFetchStatus or PreloadAsync prob

[glossy swan]

No

I'm detecting specific services ( you can't even hook)

[hallow crag]

so no weaktables or content provider?

[hallow crag]

oh FindService

[glossy swan]

You're right

[glossy swan]

There's currently 5 services

Where executers

Fuck stuff

Plus I'm using blink

Bai Bai remote event manipulation

[hallow crag]

any smart exploiter can just look at the blink source code

💀

[glossy swan]

And what he's gonna do?

You can't even hook to blinks remotes

If you set singlesync/async

[hallow crag]

uh use blink like how the game uses it

[glossy swan]

Not me with maximum requires allowed varible

[hallow crag]

???? u realise they can just decompile ur game and see how u fire ur remotes

[glossy swan]

whaaay real?

How are they gonna use blink if it's closed from requiring

[hallow crag]

how is it closed from requiring 💀

they can just gc the blink functions if they really need to

but require should work fine

[glossy swan]

I added a local variable that returns nil if module was required too much times

[hallow crag]

easy to bypass

[glossy swan]

Sorry not today

[hallow crag]

with getgc

[glossy swan]

Nah

[hallow crag]

yeah
