[simple axle]

Yep

[bitter harbor]

and remove print (hello)

And replace with

partIsTouched = false

then add back print hello

[cosmic spade]

Done

[bitter harbor]

and in the variable

you wrote touchd

[simple axle]

When did you start scripting btw?

[worn tundra]

Anyone know how I can spin a model but keep the player on top of it while it's spinning?

[cosmic spade]

Funny how 1 small thing cld ruin everything

[bitter harbor]

only use touched

[cosmic spade]

Tdy

[bitter harbor]

not touch

[cosmic spade]

Alr done

[bitter harbor]

send ss again

[cosmic spade]

Gimme a sec to get it

[simple axle]

I guess that's fine,no typos,

[bitter harbor]

yes

its good

[cosmic spade]

Alr lemme test it

[simple axle]

By the way,if you started today,I would recommend watching a beginner scripting guide from a YouTube called BrawlDev,his explanation is so good.

[bitter harbor]

lolll

i watched the same one

i learnt from him too

@simple axle

[cosmic spade]

I did I watched up to functions and went to try smth

[simple axle]

Really?me too,LOL.

[bitter harbor]

you are on the advanced series?

[cosmic spade]

lel

[simple axle]

Yes,I started it 2 days ago,and I am kinda slowing down mostly practice localscripts and the other things I learnt in the beginner guide.

[bitter harbor]

same bro it was so ez thanks to him

[bitter harbor]

where did you insert the script?

[cosmic spade]

I think I put it I the part

Nvm

[bitter harbor]

hmm

[cosmic spade]

I js put it I workspacw

Js suh

[bitter harbor]

Put it in the part

[pale sand]

Yoo guys started today.
Soo far soo good no struggling

[simple axle]

Wanna add me?I don't play roblox itself ,but I am locked in on learning scripting right now,we can help making each other making a game in the future.

[bitter harbor]

yeah

[cosmic spade]

Oo me too

[bitter harbor]

Will be fun

okk

[cosmic spade]

Ngl I wanted to make a game abt delivering milk Das why I'm learing scripting

[bitter harbor]

did it work now

[cosmic spade]

I already know how to model

[bitter harbor]

that’s good

Add

[cosmic spade]

15:21:03.055 Script Context.StarterScript:222: Script timeout: exhausted allowed execution time

[simple axle]

I don't think you started today 💀

[pale sand]

I did

I mean i have experiences from other languages. I just started with roblox today

[simple axle]

Oh,that makes sense. No wonder you are good at it.

[pale sand]

Now i just need a Project 😄

Dont really have any ideas yet.

[bitter harbor]

wanna join us

we help each other

[pale sand]

Yhea.. We can try to make something cool

[bitter harbor]

Add

[sturdy bridge]

How do I export all of the code from my game?

in a txt or smth its really frustrating copy and pasting everything

[pale sand]

wdym?

[sturdy bridge]

like iv got all of this code and more, that I wanna copy and paste

into chatgpt

i can give more context and stuff then, so whenever I need something made, itll do it for me much more affectively

rbxm or rbxmx or whatever, dont work because theyre in binary or smth

[fresh sphinx]

can someone help me understand a script

[graceful jackal]

9guys im learning scripting through a roblox game should i stop or continue

[wintry marten]

If it’s good then continue. I never tried it but i would recommand you YouTube for learning

[violet folio]

not a bad idea but I wouldnt except the game to be a functional product

[crude quarry]

I'm having issues with a module script if anyone has any ideas
Local Script

local trigger = workspace:WaitForChild("barrier")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Permissions = require(game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('Modules'):WaitForChild('Permissions'))
local debounce = false


trigger.Touched:Connect(function(plr)    
    local TPLayer = plr.Parent
    if debounce then
        debounce = true
        local Humanoid = TPLayer:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
        if not Humanoid then return end
        if not Permissions.Civilian_Team_Only(Player) then debounce = false return  end 
        local root = TPLayer:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
        if not root then return end
        TPLayer:PivotTo(root.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, 15))
        Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
        Player.PlayerGui.WarningGUI.Enabled = true
        for i = 5, 0, -1 do
            Player.PlayerGui.WarningGUI.TextLabel.Text = "You passed the barrier and are on cooldown for "..i.." sec"
            task.wait(1)
            Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
        end
        Player.PlayerGui.WarningGUI.Enabled = false
        debounce = false
    end
end)```
**Module Script**
```lua
function Permissions.Civilian_Team_Only(Player)
    if Player.Team == Teams.Civilian then return end
    return true
end

issue is I can't get it to use the permission I set and I have no idea why it's not working it just stops at checking the users permission

[radiant island]

sure

[hoary cedar]

This code does the opposite of ensuring civilians only

[crude quarry]

it works to affect everyone except civs

[hoary cedar]

return Player.Team == Teams.Civilian

This is all you need to write

[crude quarry]

yeah weird it's still not working for any team

oh wait my debounce is wrong

[crude quarry]

yeah this fixed the module issue thanks, im gonna fix the debounce

[brittle token]

what should i script to get the beginner scripter role

i feel like im ready

[hoary cedar]

Literally anything

[trim wind]

Can I see someone’s portfolio

[hoary cedar]

My GitHub is linked to my profile ;)

[trim wind]

Ok thank you

[brittle token]

nah really

i just dont have any ideas

[hoary cedar]

Make an mini game or sword fighting arena

[trim wind]

GitHub too confusing

[brittle token]

ok

[hoary cedar]

Not really

[trim wind]

You script

[hoary cedar]

Yes

[brittle token]

the stuff on the right is his projects and his profile is on the left

[trim wind]

I only know what a few words mean in scripting I tried for weeks but it was tough

[brittle token]

i just made a github but i dont have any projects yet

[brittle token]

can you edit properties

[trim wind]

????

[brittle token]

im gonna take that as a no

give me a sec

[brittle token]

watch this: https://www.youtube.com/@BrawlDevRBLX

its what i watched

[tribal panther]

me be like when python code doesnt sync properly:

https://tenor.com/view/me-when-i-see-my-class-gif-15768348532634343334

[zealous monolith]

Hey guys, does anyone know whats going on with my katana, when i try to make the unsheathing and stuff its messing around and deleting the tool

when i said on the tool, it doesnt require a handle

?

[static wind]

Are u scripting the equipping?

If ur welding it make sure its welded properly

Since if it has no can collide and unanchored it can fall through the baseplate and get destroyed

[zealous monolith]

I am scripting the equipping

[zealous monolith]

oh shit yeah

your right

so when it falls through the map

it deletes itself agian

again am i right

?

[static wind]

Yeah once u equip it I assume ur parenting it to ur character or workspace and it loads in with no can collide and unanchored and falls through the map. Make sure u weld it properly so it doesn’t do that

[tiny obsidian]

having multiple playeradded in multiple code

or

having a centered 1 playeradded and does everything in it

does it even matter

[zealous monolith]

Thank you alot bro, that was the problem, how did you know this?

[robust monolith]

I'd prefer less connections and simply one centered

Also simpler script

But connections really aren't that Bad in memory So dw about it, To me it's mostly abt preference and What you're trying to achieve especially organization

[tiny obsidian]

gotchu ty

[vale arrow]

Hey guys, how do you learn to code ?

[static wind]

Experience. There isn’t much ways a tool gets deleted without manually scripting it urself

[zealous monolith]

I was wondering lol

thank you alot though

[celest cipher]

why doesnt my script work

[pure kiln]

what font yall use

[static wind]

Np

[zealous monolith]

are you experienced

in adding sheaths n stuff

if u are, can you help me out

[gusty heron]

so far room system is going well. Turned on StreamingEnabled and even with 3k and increasing rooms and max 20 room creation tasks at the same time still fps smooth as butter

[robust monolith]

Why aren't you generating One room and whenever you enter One you create the next

[gusty heron]

For one I don't know how to do that lol

I've never made any system like this before in my life

[static wind]

I can’t rn sorry, if u have any questions just ask around there are plenty of people that can help u

[gusty heron]

I mean I could using Runservice and GetTouchingParts or something of that nature

I'm already using that anyway to detect when the player enters a new room

[robust monolith]

No don't, Just Do what you're doing now, Generate the rooms with a delay

[winged marten]

guys what do alot of people use to write code, like that coding app

for lua, java etc

[sour vine]

keyboard

[winged marten]

Noooo that app, they write it in

[sour vine]

robox setudio

[winged marten]

Yh no thas not what i mean

[sour vine]

i use notepad

[winged marten]

Daamn

[radiant island]

tyy to everyoine who helped i fixed the thoughts!!

[desert kite]

Any coder want to make good money fast man, cmon everybody in #scripter-hirable is AFK MAN

[crude quarry]

Change the doors to tween service hinges so it always closes automatically

[violet folio]

what u need to do

[gusty heron]

I mean I could easily implement your idea, is there a caveat?

[autumn venture]

me fr

[crude quarry]

Crazy it's almost like it's a || hobby||

[desert kite]

scripter-hireable dont do it as a "hobby"

[crude quarry]

My dude roblox is not good enough to quit your job/school

[desert kite]

i was able to make 3k€ for Build Commisions, thats better then most jobs lol

[crude quarry]

Espically if you're advertising on hidden devs

[desert kite]

But true

[gusty heron]

Only the top 1k make a livable income

And good luck getting up there lol

Probably less than that

[hoary cedar]

It's not that hard to land yourself a respectable contract if you're hard-set

Get sh*t done, get good, then sell yourself

Yeah, just don't do this

Ain't nothing wrong with clarifying imports. You're just adding overhead by unnecessary abstraction, abstraction which muddies the type annotation

If it bothers your workflow that bad, there are plug-ins that can auto-complete service imports

[sand saffron]

im not a fan of repeating service calls at the top of every script especially when its intended to be readable and OOP/type based, i agree it makes it a bit more inconvenient calling services.blabla every time

sorry meant to clarify its not about workflow its just an eyesore

just figured theres likeuhhhh better way to do it within the same boundaries

[primal cave]

Solo scripting project, almost done with the whole ultimate system, you get random swords everytime, they all have the same attacks but all ultimates are unique

[sand saffron]

tuff

[primal cave]

thanks

started with hopes, dreams and spagetti code

[sand saffron]

god damn do i hate the color yellow in my code i refuse to change the theme though

[strange kiln]

why do you hate it

[sand saffron]

just looks ugly LMFAOO its half the reason i was doing allat that i sent above

reminds me of the simpler times... the bad old days................................. the :waitforchild():waitforchild days 💔

@strange kiln meant this

[strange kiln]

aah

[gusty heron]

What’s wrong with wait for child

[compact summit]

visual studio

[sand saffron]

that's just not how you handle instance loading in a modern framework, you're synchronously blocking a thread for a child of a child instead of using a promise or signal based loader 💔

[gusty heron]

I don’t know what those are bro

[brittle token]

It’s not gay to use wait()

[brittle token]

Cant you just use item.clickdetector

[sand saffron]

cadwa dwwdaok so a promise-based loader is where instead of your script literally freezing with :waitforchild(), you ask a central module for an instance and it immediately gives you a "promise" object back. yuor script can keep running and do other stuff, and you just tell the promise what function to run then the object actually loads. it's asynchronous, it doesn't block the thread!!!!!!

a signal based loader is when you have a loader module that finds everything andddd when its done loading it just fires a signal

it pretty much decouples ur script so they arent a tangled mess of dependencies

proper state management 2025

[hoary cedar]

Nope. I don't find it to harm readability at all. It is a crucial component in every script: designated dependencies. The clearer you can be about what external resources your script relies on, the better

[sand saffron]

i dont believe everyone would agree with my standpoint 💔the "external resources" in question is purely a helper function

loads all the services at once, stores them in the metatable and then u can just call from there. good for modules and all that but i dont think id use that function in standard function based scripts

[lethal pike]

does anyone know how to change shitlock icon?? for everyone

[sand saffron]

yeah. have you cloned PlayerModule into StarterPlayerScripts yet?

[lethal pike]

yed

yes

i changed the id

it didnt work

[sand saffron]

you changed this?

[lethal pike]

yes

[sand saffron]

ah you likely have playermodule under a folder dont you

[lethal pike]

wdym

[sand saffron]

customshiftlock is likely overriding it

[lethal pike]

ok lemme see

[sand saffron]

disable it and go check if playermodule works

[lethal pike]

this is what i see

[sand saffron]

upload your image under an imagelabel then copy the ID and paste it there

[lethal pike]

k

[sand saffron]

so its an "rbxassetid://(code)"

[lethal pike]

i used a decal from roblox tho

[amber acorn]

Why do u use that purple script?

[sand saffron]

i dont believe /textures would work

[crude quarry]

all decals are like this ^ even textures

[sand saffron]

its a module script

[lethal pike]

module

[lethal pike]

kk

[sand saffron]

@amber acorn a module script is like running functions in your own script but from other scripts, its hard to explain but it improves pretty much everything

the most often use case is making your code not have 1000 lines and instead putting some of your key code into a child module

[crude quarry]

it's basically a function for scripts so you can reuse a function without repeating it in multiple scripts

[amber acorn]

Oh I get it

[sand saffron]

or running functions that multiple scripts call

[sand saffron]

yes!!!!!!! ^_^

[crude quarry]

I use it to check peoples permissions in groups so I dont have 9 billion lines of code with the same function

[vocal comet]

im very new to coding(started this week) are there any good tutorials/videos on how to learn the basics and fundamentals of scripting

[crude quarry]

devking for basics

[vocal comet]

ok cool ty

[sand saffron]

brawldev. started learning 6 months ago ish and im already working production level

hes my goat

[vocal comet]

ill check them both out thanks for help

[hoary cedar]

Haitus' beginner series is the best. I would not go with any other series. You'll have to go elsewhere for everything else, as his tutorials do not go beyond the basics. I'm recommending this as a scripter who's been in the game for 12 years, lol

[crude quarry]

I coded a police car

[gusty heron]

Where do you learn to do that

[crude quarry]

Each car part sold separately

[vocal comet]

okay ill check him out

[sand saffron]

@vocal comet also huge tip for when ur learning, dont just say you're gonna apply it and not apply it. AS you are learning and you learn more stuff that you can make, go make games. go do silly stuff. whatever it is. applying the material you learn is the best form of learning ever

[hoary cedar]

Scripted, taught with graphics, prerequisites covered, no misinformation, deep explanations and explorations of niche but objectively relevant details

[vocal comet]

okay ill try to apply everything i learn as best as i can

[sand saffron]

i learned from a bunch of youtube tutorials and knowing high tier devs and just referencing their style lmfao it clicked one day

[hoary cedar]

Ultimately, you should try to learn why things work, not just how to apply them

[lethal pike]

It makes things easier to understand eventually

[vocal comet]

okay yh ty for help imma check out the vids and see how it goes

[lethal pike]

thats legit how i learned coding

[crude quarry]

how do you stop a sound from being played

is it just sound:Cancel()

[sand saffron]

:Stop() or just send it right to debris

[crude quarry]

stop or stopped

[sand saffron]

stop

stopped is the event that fires when it reaches the end of the sound @crude quarry

[crude quarry]

ah I see

[sand saffron]

• typically when you send it to debris

[crude quarry]

I made a while true do so it will never stop

https://tenor.com/view/shy-dread-gif-10045603

[hoary cedar]

"Ended", actually

[lethal pike]

@sand saffron i put my image in it this is the id

do i put in a decal?

[sand saffron]

i must be geeked

[sand saffron]

copy the id put it in playermodule

[lethal pike]

it didnt work lol

[candid fox]

the cursor has to be the exact right size or else it wont work

[sand saffron]

again the uhhh other script u have might be overriding

[lethal pike]

ur kidding

[crude quarry]

I made a terrible mistake

[sand saffron]

thats not true, if you put in a really big image it shows a really big image

[candid fox]

ill give you an id holdon

[crude quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-panic-gif-8720514262649309419

[lethal pike]

just make it a white circle

[lethal pike]

ty

[candid fox]

rbxassetid://569021388 try that

[candid fox]

i had the same issue before, it just dont show for some reason

[lethal pike]

welp

[candid fox]

did you do playermodule, then camera module then cameralock module

[lethal pike]

huh

[sand saffron]

@hoary cedar OOPSS ur right i was thinking of when stop is called 💔

[candid fox]

this is what you should be editing

[lethal pike]

yup

[sand saffron]

@lethal pike im telling u the other script is probably interfering

[crude quarry]

Perfect xDDD

[candid fox]

why textures

[sand saffron]

thats what i said

💔

[candid fox]

💔

[lethal pike]

it was alr like that

i might be autistic

[candid fox]

rbxassetid://569021388 literally just copy THIS word for word

[lethal pike]

i am lol

[candid fox]

and put it into the quotes

[crude quarry]

[candid fox]

did it work tho

[sand saffron]

essentially

[sand saffron]

yes

[crude quarry]

what part of the police car should I make next? Im thinking of having an engine start up and then the siren playing

[candid fox]

✅

[sand saffron]

yeahhyeah do that

[lethal pike]

it worked

[crude quarry]

It's pretty good as is tho

maybe some keybinds would work

[hoary cedar]

Sirens don't activate automatically; they're turned on by a switch

[candid fox]

is this just supposed to be sum you activate while in the car

[crude quarry]

yeah it's the player making the noise

[crude quarry]

no its a joke like coconut horses

tf is a coconut horse

[crude quarry]

this

[lethal pike]

@candid fox

[sand saffron]

reading my old messages in this server got me fckd up im cryin 😭 😭

[lethal pike]

how do i know the exact size and whats the size needed @candid fox

[proper root]

jesos

[crude quarry]

for r6

[proper root]

thats like 5 minutes of research bro 😭

[sand saffron]

lmfao dont know what i was on back then

[lethal pike]

bro an ai can do that

[crude quarry]

I need to mess with camera work more, I wanna make a cutscene

[sand saffron]

im not a fan of using ai for any means in terms of actual coding, learning through ai is great though

[proper root]

ais the goat for learning icl

[crude quarry]

"AI turn this player list so every player is named daddy"

[sand saffron]

i only recently started using types about a couple months ago in my OOP scripts (the cyan stuff) and had no idea what they were until chatgpt taught me LMAO

[sand saffron]

swear

[proper root]

yo if uve got btroblox web extension remove it

[summer phoenix]

I'm having problems on the client. I have 12 cameras splitted and I need to access them on the client for a GUI related system. But the problem is the map is large so the player doesnt load the cameras and ends up only showing about 6-8 how do I fix this?

[sand saffron]

content provider

i had this same issue recently with a custom sky holdon maybe this can be of some use 1s

[crude quarry]

wait until the player is loaded

[sudden estuary]

damn

[proper root]

cold advice

[summer phoenix]

Yea i already scripted a loading screen so I used content provider so I didn't think I would need to use it again

[summer phoenix]

every player has a different render

[proper root]

waitforchild or smthin

[crude quarry]

waitforchild

[sand saffron]

@summer phoenix assure your cameras are in a set folder location or whatever then just loop thru to preload

[summer phoenix]

acc didnt think to use waitforchild

cause I'm interopliating it with a table

[summer phoenix]

Im thinking of disabling StreamingEnabled before i do this

but its probably a bad idea

[crude quarry]

one thing I hate about coding is making a bunch of code and GUIs and then realzing you made too many and have to move them to a folder which means you have to modify the code

[lethal pike]

REALLLL

[sand saffron]

yeah it sucks. just make sure ur code isn't tightly coupled to your UI's structure. you should use a single controller script at the root of the GUI that caches references to all its descendants on startup that way you only ever have to change paths in one place

[crude quarry]

it's not that bad but when you have like 5 GUIs in 1 code it's just a minor inconvience

It is making me realize I need to be better at organizing

This is getting bad and I have to redo everything

im not even 1% done

[summer phoenix]

Testing this,

-- Preload
for _, Cams in workspace:WaitForChild("HomeCams"):GetChildren() do
    local success, err = pcall(function()
        ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({Cams})
    end)
    
    if success then
        table.insert(HomeCams, Cams)
    else
        warn("Failed to load asset:", Cams:GetFullName(), "Reason:", err)
    end
end

Maybe instead of going through getchildren i should probably while loop until I get all of it

[sand saffron]

if you can guarantee nothing else will be in that folder then yeah

[sand saffron]

if you're handling multiple screenguis in one script you have to reformat your code

also having "GUI" and "ScreenGui" under a service* called StarterGui is not so nice

dont let it get confusing

[primal cave]

Some updates

[crude quarry]

It's all gonna have to be redone so it will be renamed

This is what the teams UI looks like currently'

lmao

so yeah complete revamp

[summer phoenix]

works just had to add my own failsafe for loading

[slender salmon]

Guys how would I go about taking a unparented weapon from a Moon Animator Animation and scripting it to work in an actual game. For example if their is a cutscene and Player 1 throws a dagger into the air and catches it how would I go about scripting that?

[gusty heron]

I could probably figure it out on my own but what exactly does the promise system do? What is a promise object, and what does it do in lieu of the desired object being unloaded?

[sand saffron]

instead of your script actively waiting for something with WaitForChild, you give a function a task and a callback, and it notifies you when it's done

the promise object it returns holds the logic for whatever u need to run it with

[gusty heron]

I assume that’s stored as the function attribute of the promise object?

[sand saffron]

think of it less like a property and more like a signal or event. you don't read the function from the object. u connect ur function to the object's completion state with a method like :Then(). the promise itself just manages its internal state and calls all the functions you've connected when the time is right

dont think of it as a table key

[gusty heron]

What would that look like in code?

[sand saffron]

forget a real library for a sec, just imagine u have a function that does the waiting for you and gives you a promise

-- imagine this function returns a promise i dont wanna create one rn lmfao
local partPromise = someModule.waitForChildAsync(workspace, "PartToLoad")

print("started looking for part, but not waiting...")

partPromise:Then(function(part)
    -- this part only runs when the function is found
    part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
    print("part found and colored")
end):Catch(function(errorMessage)
    -- this code only runs it if it fails
    warn("couldn't find the part:", errorMessage)
end)```

@gusty heron

doing this gives a partial timeout

-- script stops here until "PartToLoad" exists
local part = workspace:WaitForChild("PartToLoad")
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
print("part found and colored")```

none of this is nearly necessary in standard scripting and all that

more production level stuff

but still good to know

[gusty heron]

How does it check for when the object is available

Wait is the first argument where it searches and the second the name of the object to be loaded?

And once it gets true it calls the :Then which is defined as the following function

[sand saffron]

it "listens" more than it does check, it sits there taking up no resources until roblox "announces a new child has arrived" in a way

it just waits for whatever you're looking for

[sand saffron]

yes!

[sand saffron]

yeah u got it

[gusty heron]

Ok but what sound does my game make so it knows it’s there

[sand saffron]

it creates a connection to the childadded signal if that makes sense

basically as soon as it loads

the promise takes it from where you set the directory

with the exact name/or however u call it

and then loads the function ASAP

waitforchild causes a minimal delay between that waitforchild and whatever other waits you have

[gusty heron]

Oh ok so then I’d want to define specific locations that multiple promises will listen to and have it send out to any promises with that location instead of making individual connections right?

[sand saffron]

yeah man you've got it !!!!!!!!! thats why you use a dedicated promise library

you dont want 50 different scripts creating 50 individual childadded connections on the same logic

all trickles down to DRY lmfao 💔

[gusty heron]

If a promise relies on multiple objects I guess I’d make it an array of names

[sand saffron]

yeah pretty much. you would use an array of promises using Promise.all, you give it a table of all the individual promises you're waiting on

and it returns a single new promsie that only resolves after every single one of the input promises has resolved

i completely forgot im ngl

[gusty heron]

Maybe it is good to call that defining a Promise Group

[sand saffron]

this requires the roblox lua promise library installed

u need dat!

[gusty heron]

Oh so I can just download it?

[sand saffron]

https://eryn.io/roblox-lua-promise/

gotta require it

thats for promise.all

[gusty heron]

Do they have it in plugin form

[sand saffron]

i dont think so no

[gusty heron]

lol ngl I was prepared to make it from scratch

[sand saffron]

😭

[gusty heron]

Never heard of it and barely used classes but it sounded possible

[sand saffron]

promises are really rarely used even if u look them up u dont find much on the forum

its more for like realllyyy really high budget games that need good ass optimization

but its a good practice generally considering it loads async

i dont see it used much and to be the most fair i dont use it on average

[gusty heron]

Ironic it seemed like you were flaunting it, carrying it around like fine wine

Which it seems to be by the description

[severe cobalt]

Whats the difference between this and using something like defer?

[sand saffron]

lmfao i wasnt as serious when i was explaining my hait for :waitforchild():waitforchild() earlier i was just trying to express my HATE for seeing a million different declerations at the top of each and every script

it looks so cluttered

[sand saffron]

they solve different problems. defer is for when the code runs

[gusty heron]

Tbf I only do that for localscripts and even then I segment them by variable so it looks cleaner

[sand saffron]

promise is the result of an async operation

so if you were to do an HTTP request or something

[severe cobalt]

Does promise work like a lazy scheduler in this case?

[sand saffron]

essentially yeah haha

[severe cobalt]

I see, Ill probably use it in the future then.

[sand saffron]

again it has some good use cases for async operation (mainly HTTP and all that) but its not a very common practice

[sand saffron]

🙏

[raven marsh]

am bored

[sand saffron]

i started using this lmfao

[severe cobalt]

I eventually want to redo my ocean simulation on roblox but the fun part is trying to decide how I want to defer my ifft calculations. Right now I have it calculate over 7 frames and lerp the old and new vertices, but still want to try and squeeze more performance out of it.

[sand saffron]

it only gets the services once, puts them in the metatable, then i just use them from there

its like ONE extra line when defining stuff

[gusty heron]

Do the — comments do anything?

[severe cobalt]

only the first 2

[sand saffron]

instead of RunService.Heartbeat i just do Services.RunService.Heartbeat

[sand saffron]

yeah. they're type checks

[severe cobalt]

Oh btw, has roblox implemented native for local scripts yet or is it still server only?

[sand saffron]

basically it relies on the type right here and it makes 100% sure you dont have errors in your code (simplified)

[sand saffron]

ive got no native errors on either so i genuinely dont know 😭

[severe cobalt]

It was server only back in February when I was working on an ocean simulation but Im not sure if they made an update since

[gusty heron]

What is strict and what is native. Only one I’ve seen is native and that’s with an @

[sand saffron]

real lmfao

[brittle token]

Can someone give me an idea for the beginner scripter role

[sand saffron]

strict is a type checking mode that enforces type correctness like A LOT. putting this into scripts that dont have the type stuff i showed you will almost always have some sort of type issues

native is optimization

couldnt explain to u i lowk forget how it works (native)

but i use it

[gusty heron]

Can I just stick it on top of every script lol

[sand saffron]

yeah it will require a lot more modification though be ready for that. but its great practice

[raven marsh]

what shud i play

[sand saffron]

and makes your scripts both more readable but less prone to bugs

[sand saffron]

touhou battlegrounds

[raven marsh]

no

battlegrounds games are boring

[sand saffron]

grow a riftkuro

[severe cobalt]

strict enables strict type checking

native changes how code is ran. Typically scripts are ran through a VM (iirc). The native flag forces the script to compile. Its like Java vs C. C compiles to Assembly, Java is ran in the JVM. It has restrictions but if you get past them your code typically runs faster as you remove a layer.

[sand saffron]

thank u for that

[gusty heron]

What kind of modifications?

[sand saffron]

just put --!strict into your scripts and i guarantee you'll see

[raven marsh]

no grow a games are shit

[brittle token]

Make your own damn game then

[raven marsh]

but i dont wanna rn

[gusty heron]

Do I need to make : {type} for everything?

[sand saffron]

brookhaven

[brittle token]

Your lazy

[raven marsh]

no

[brittle token]

Tf is wrong with you

[sand saffron]

not "everything"

more just stuff thats typically passed as an instance class

holdon look

[raven marsh]

make a game

[severe cobalt]

https://luau.org/typecheck goes into detail about the flags and what they do. Ill give you another article for native if I can find it

[brittle token]

I actually am

[raven marsh]

same, but ive worked on my game today

[brittle token]

https://tenor.com/view/get-to-work-work-simpsons-smithers-trendizisst-gif-15496843

[sand saffron]

@gusty heron this for example. I set "VignetteFrame" to a gui object so that it doesnt pass as an instance. look what happens if i remove it with --!strict (second image)

[raven marsh]

what shud i play

[severe cobalt]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/luau/native-code-gen and this talks about the native flag, or "native code generation"

[brittle token]

With deez nutz

[raven marsh]

what shud i play

[sand saffron]

@gusty heron more uses of type checking (basically it just assures that whatever is passed is AnimationTrackData)

[severe cobalt]

yeah, unless the article is out of date its still server scripts only

[sand saffron]

cold. ill keep it in my local scripts and pray for better days

[severe cobalt]

me too

[real zealot]

this looks like a script made for the application

[coarse wraith]

i made something similar but with type checking for each service and you can use aliases (like rs for RunService)

[sand saffron]

the application? haha

[sand saffron]

thats dope!! i dont know why i havent applied that to my services module

[raven marsh]

what shud i play

prob gonna do that after i add all the services

since alot of them are still missing

Should I autogenerate rooms or have players generate rooms by entering rooms and rooms spawn to connect to available ports?

[lofty plinth]

Depends on what ur trying to do

[gusty heron]

The whole game is exploring a uniquely generated maze of rooms and finding the rarest ones

It or at least I can handle generating 10000 rooms with tasks capped at 20

[lofty plinth]

For the most part it should be pre determined to an extent to make it fast and to know if something can lead to another room

But you dont need to make rooms appear until the player needs them loaded for the sake of optimization

[sand saffron]

@coarse wraith done

[jolly tide]

Do players just have to leave and join back for gamepasses to take effect?
Or is there a way to detect when a player buys a gamepass

[sand saffron]

it was just a bunch of copy pasting and reformatting my service module

[gusty heron]

What do you mean by predetermine. I mean I have a system that checks if a door is blocked by something and makes it so it is no longer considered open for the next rooms?

[lofty plinth]

Basically generate rooms a few ahead or all at the start so nothing overlaps and you know where connections will be alongside so you dont have points where u have to pause rooms opening due to it being unable to generate one correctly

[coarse wraith]

dam already

[sand saffron]

whole lotta copy pasting

[coarse wraith]

yea ik

[thin knoll]

huh I wonder when I got this channel

[slim root]

Teach me how to code

Now

🔫

[gusty heron]

this is what the generation does now lol

but I wouldn't mind attaching it to player

[tulip merlin]

Sure just pay 50$ downpayment and then at the end you'll have a 10,000$ surprise tuition payment but you dont gotta know about that yet

[slim root]

How about

A cookie crum

[tulip merlin]

How about you take your broke ass to youtube

[slim root]

Nah I'm to dum

[gusty heron]

"to dum" 😭

[slim root]

I tried to code once

There was an error

[gusty heron]

💀 error

how devastating

[slim root]

And I quit bc I didn't know what I was looking at

[tulip merlin]

Quitter

caught me. types dont exist

[placid coral]

Oop does not exist its figment of our imagination

[sand saffron]

oop? whats that?

[placid coral]

😪

[tacit bay]

yall whitch one is vfx?

[spiral jungle]

None of them

[rugged mist]

is there any point of using regular scripts or local scripts besides requiring modules

[gusty heron]

what's the difference between : and : :?

[sand saffron]

this was all i did in that 5 mins 💔

no type errors though heh.

[sudden estuary]

vro

[coarse wraith]

aliases too way longer then they should ngl

[sand saffron]

yours does its job perfectly you should publish it without the type errors though specifically cause its on forum

i dont have nearly enough aliases in this mf you've got lowercase for everything and allat lmao

[coarse wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-2088247993237804628

i will add more services and aliases later today

[coarse wraith]

its 4:30am

[sand saffron]

real

[severe cobalt]

scroll down

[tacit bay]

ty'

yall how do i make a portfolio on canva

[gusty heron]

it works nice but how would I make it faster so I can't see the doors actually load?

[spiral jungle]

Make it so when they start holding down it spawns

And if they cancel then despawn it

[gusty heron]

nvm I did an easy fix

[spiral jungle]

Ok

[gusty heron]

So in the system there are two doors that join a room, the door of the first room and the door of the second. I have an alterating boolean that determines which door will become the usable one and which one will be destroyed.

I set it to false, so the door that is chosen to remain is always the door of the room that was there first, aka the one the player is in. So now you can't see the rooms load because it's covered by the door and the door can only be opened when the room is fully loaded

[thorn arch]

Why don't you just

Delete the entrance doors

For each room model

[gusty heron]

then there will be no doors at all

[thorn arch]

Why not

There will be the exit door

If each room has exit doors but no entry doors

[gusty heron]

there's no entrance or exit doors

[thorn arch]

The previous rooms exit becomes the new rooms entry

[gusty heron]

there's only ports

and if a player sees through the empty doorways into the matrix of rooms their heads will explode and we don't want that

[real zealot]

is this procedural

[gusty heron]

I don't know how I would define it lol

[thorn arch]

Are the rooms generated automatically

And randomly

Not the room model themselves

But like, how they join etc.

[gusty heron]

When a player enters a room, the scripts generate a random room for each port, or "wallify" the port if the door is blocked within a minimum clearance

Once that happens the door is added to a folder and the consequent ChildAdded event has them become functional

[thorn arch]

It's procedural

[gusty heron]

cool cause I've never done it before

[rapid verge]

try using wave function collaspe

when you open a door collapse the cells ahead of the door and the cells surrounding it

[gusty heron]

idk what that is lol

[rapid verge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO0Tx3w5abQ

do that but with actual models

this probably a better video tbh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIRTOgfsjl0

[gusty heron]

I wasn't actually using a cell system in the first place which is why I couldn't confidently define it as procedural

[dense aurora]

so like how come table.clone() doesnt clone nested tables?

wait nvm i get it

[hasty mesa]

cause there is little usecase

and its slow

[dense aurora]

it just clones the pointer doesnt it?

[hasty mesa]

no

it just clones the table with the allocated portion

[dense aurora]

okay but if im doing a save/load system and i dont want to accidentally modify the save i gotta clone it to current

[hasty mesa]

yeah

[dense aurora]

so in that case table.clone() would be useful

[hasty mesa]

for deepcopy its better of making your own

heres how clone works as well

[dense aurora]

okay so would i just loop through with a function and then call the function inside of the function whenever the alue is a table?

[hasty mesa]

yeah recursive is how its usaully done

[dense aurora]

alright ill make that thanks

[dense aurora]

function deepClone(t: {}): {}
    local copy = {}
    
    for key, value in pairs(t) do
        if typeof(value) == "table" then
            copy[key] = deepClone(value)
        else
            copy[key] = value
        end
    end
    
    return copy
end```

is this fine ?

[hasty mesa]

yeah

[dense aurora]

okay great

thanks

@wanton hedge im watching you in the vc dont do nothing naughty

[willow wedge]

How does animations like player choking another player work?

[spiral jungle]

Have two animations

[polar phoenix]

Seems a little inefficient, should add some math values so that the server doesn't have to process all those instances individually cause that might lag the game

Something like math.huge^-29

[strange kiln]

true fact

well, i'm using antilagcode1337, so it might be fine either way

[polar phoenix]

Understandable, I just always aim for PEAK efficiency

[thorn arch]

stringvalues are quite unoptimized

i would use datastore instead

[strange kiln]

i'm tryna keep it simple for the beginners

plus, it's anti lag code 1337

Paste this into a local script in starter player

[deep cypress]

i am making my first game i got a wedge and a head as its boulder but i dont know how to spawn it normally over the wedge continously can you help

        AntiLagValue.Parent = obj
    end
end

use this script if you get any lag issues down the road

make a script in serverscriptservice and paste it in

[deep cypress]

no lag issue but the spawning one

[strange kiln]

well, what does the code look like

[deep cypress]

they cant spawn continously first one happens when the game start because they are already on top of the wedge but they cant spawn again

its of chatgpt lol

[strange kiln]

paste it

the script

what the fuck are you making😭

why are you spawning a new wedge

[deep cypress]

i just need a spawning mechanism for the boulder to roll down the hill

dont know never played with physics before

[strange kiln]

you can't build the hill in studio and make a designated place for it to spawn

and then have it spawn there

I'm a 4+ years Animator, commissions open

[spiral jungle]

Let’s see your animations

[daring chasm]

ok

[spiral jungle]

Show your bestest best animation ever

[daring chasm]

I dont have the best one lol

but I can show some

here

here is one I made recently

[spiral jungle]

do you animate in moon animator

[daring chasm]

yes also in blender

but I haven't used it in some time

[spiral jungle]

oh geez

[daring chasm]

what happened?

one of my blender animations 😭

its slow

but it is fast, the recording makes it look slow

[topaz spade]

why does local data get a separate line

[willow wedge]

Wdym

You mean and data

Its unnecessary yea

This the whole point of pcall function

[topaz spade]

why cant i just do
local success, err = pcall(function()
local data = clickStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
end)

and remove the line above

[willow wedge]

Ohh

[willow wedge]

Bc then it will be localize inside the function only

[proper edge]

we put
local data
so that the if statement can access 'data'
if we dont put local data, the if statment wouldn't be able to see data

[vestal sleet]

how do yall write the code in a box like this

[strange kiln]

Triple squiggly lines

[vestal sleet]

at start and end?

[wanton pecan]

Yo the animations are pretty good, but you sure you animated for 4 years?

[severe cobalt]

nah its `

tilde (~) is for strikethrough

[vestal sleet]

1

i get it thank you

[severe cobalt]

this is for big box mode

like this

also can set a language

local test = 0

whoops sent that one twice

[brittle token]

print(English or Spanish)

Bruh

[severe cobalt]

surround it

[brittle token]

Nice

[vestal sleet]

thabk you bro

[brittle token]

I’ve been trying to figure that out thanks

[severe cobalt]

np

[young rock]

What should I script to add to my empty portfolio?

[severe cobalt]

recreate roblox from the ground up using nothing but microsoft macro assembly and C

[young rock]

fr tho

i cant think of an idea

[severe cobalt]

use editable mesh to make an explosion deform meshes

[young rock]

what else

its literally empty so i need to add some basic stuff too

[severe cobalt]

disable the roblox chat box and make a custom one with QoL features

[young rock]

could ya give some examples of QoL features

[severe cobalt]

click name -> drop down menu with mod options like kick, ban, etc.

resizing

drag it anywhere

add chat channels

do per channel dms

really whatever you feel like

[young rock]

aight

do you have any more ideas? 😭

[severe cobalt]

get a model of a spaceship or some sort of flying machine and make your own movement controller for it -- add variables like wind direction, wind speed, mass, acceleration, braking, etc.

[severe cobalt]

(i believe workspace actually has params for wind direction and speed for their grass feature btw, pull globals from that)

[young rock]

alright thank you

[flint pulsar]

Is there a variable i can call to retrieve the total playtime of a player (for leaderboard)

[loud swallow]

[cerulean mortar]

👀

could someone help me simplify this

[cerulean mortar]

this code outputs a binary visualizer

[fluid pier]

i was today years old when i realized you can define a global variable with _G in lua

💔

[brittle token]

tf is that

[brittle token]

i didnt know that so thank you

[near pasture]

@cerulean mortar

how vscode !

[near pasture]

I did this before I knew about modules

[cerulean mortar]

yt tut

[hearty olive]

you can?

[cerulean mortar]

i wouldn't do that

use modules

_G is bad practice

[keen vine]

can anyone help me rq?

🙏

[fluid pier]

yeah

[stray oak]

my brain is fried because I cant code anything other than spehgati

[hearty olive]

fam what

[stray oak]

all my modules and scripts are not well organize with specialized responsibilities, so the more parameters I add the more overlapped they're

also I waste a ton of time looking for the script that does a specific thing,

because they all do a little bit of each

[hearty olive]

you better than me I don't even understand when to use a module script only client and server

[stray oak]

module script is just a way to store functions and tables

[hearty olive]

or even put variable in it

[hearty olive]

ik what it is

[stray oak]

so if you have 2 scripts that uses the same function you can place it

oh

[hearty olive]

i just don't when to use it

[stray oak]

well anyways i have to rewrite alot of things to make it organized because I refuse to use flowcharts or do any planing 🫠

[tawdry elk]

https://tenor.com/view/cry-crying-discord-emoji-crying-emoji-gif-6257751000972526805

its either you code outside roblox

or you code in roblox without knowing RDC is

(we gucci btw)

[hearty olive]

RDC?

[inland idol]

whats the best way to handle hitboxes, trying to learn them for the first time

[brittle token]

welp

i take it back

im gonna crucify that one whose name sounds like baldi

[hearty olive]

you should teach me some luau

[tawdry elk]

i still suck at coding

i posted my game here cause flex

[hearty olive]

lets do a code off

[tawdry elk]

i primarly do modelling and buildidng and art

[hearty olive]

actually wanna see what I made

I started modeling like 2 days technically cuz i don't go on blender that much to practice

[stray oak]

I now have a positive outlook on life after turning everything into module script

[stray oak]

just do it for everything

[hearty olive]

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local walkspeed = 16

if walkspeed >= 16 then
local walkspeedIncrease = walkspeed + 16
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, GPE)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = walkspeedIncrease
end
end)
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, GPE)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = walkspeed
end
end)
else
print("Error")
end

I just made ts for my first without anything

I just learn UIS

[austere mulch]

use functions for better readability

[hollow thicket]

local function GetStoreName() return runservice:IsStudio() and "Test" or "Live" end
chat is this true when i want to detect isstudio

[hollow thicket]

huh why if walkspeed>=16

that isn't need right

[hollow thicket]

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer

local walkspeed = 16

local function increasewalkspeed(player:Player,hmm:boolean)
    if hmm then
        player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = walkspeed + 10
    else
        player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = walkspeed
    end
end

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(inpt:InputObject,gpe:boolean)
    if not gpe then
        if inpt.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
            increasewalkspeed(player,true)
        end
    end
end)

uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input:InputObject,gpe:boolean)
    if gpe then return end
    
    if not gpe then

[severe cobalt]

I can almost see the picture

[severe cobalt]

luau has very specific use cases (aka roblox), ts is just Javascript with types

ts > luau
due to it being more general purpose and better tooling

[tranquil tide]

but ts is harder?

[severe cobalt]

depends on the person, it's not like we're comparing luau to C++

it's just different

[tranquil tide]

a lot of people told me that ts is shit

[tranquil tide]

and where can i learn ts

and how do it work

ts is typescript?

[severe cobalt]

compared to assembly, most languages are shit.. yet people dont really use assembly because it's inconvenient.

what language you use is based off your goals and your preference.

and yeah, typescript

[tranquil tide]

how can i learn it

[severe cobalt]

youtube

it's common to see typescript for building websites. I often see it paired with stuff like React and Vue.

Just look for something like Vue tutorials coded in typescript and learn alongside building

if you're brand brand new to coding though, luau with roblox never hurt anyone. Easier to get started

[tranquil tide]

bruh

ts look so hard

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30LWjhZzg50

damn see

damn

[severe cobalt]

yeah, it's irl stuff. The question was what's better not what's easier lol.

TS is where all the web dev money is at. Luau is restricted to roblox, but is easier

[sturdy seal]

anyone wanna create a game

[wise turtle]

no

from a language design standpoint it is worse

[severe cobalt]

Language isnt everything either. For instance, Rust is better than C++. It has miniscule bloat, zero cost abstractions, and guaranteed memory safety.. yet, C++ is better because it has a significantly better ecosystem.

The ecosystem for ts wipes the floor with luau, so it's objectively better.

[hollow thicket]

if u want to learn

coding in roblox studio

just learn luau

ts is kinda garbage

even theers ts convert to luau

uwu

but still ts is better at else way

cuz luau is limited to roblox studio

[hexed zinc]

luau isnt limited to studio

[hollow thicket]

lua and luau were different

but not too much

[hexed zinc]

that is correct

[hollow thicket]

so luau is limited to studio

[hexed zinc]

wrong

[hollow thicket]

but otherwis

[hollow thicket]

?

then where can luau be use excecpt studio

[severe cobalt]

luau is a fork of lua 5.1, but really only roblox uses it

[hexed zinc]

wherever you want

[severe cobalt]

it's open source tho

[tranquil tide]

can i learn lua ?

i prefer learn lua

than luau tbh

bc i dont like the luau tutorial

[hollow thicket]

but not helping u too much in roblox coding

uwu

[tranquil tide]

it is

[hollow thicket]

bc theres bunch of shitty api

[tranquil tide]

lua and luau is same

[hollow thicket]

u sitll need to learn how datastore api and else things work

[tranquil tide]

yes ik

[severe cobalt]

no, they're not

[hollow thicket]

lua dont have "datastore" this thing

my brother

[hexed zinc]

preferring the worse option is certainly one of the choices of all time
provided ur meaning 5.1 vs luau

[tranquil tide]

i see

tbh i dont like watching tutorial and idk if doing project gonna help me too, i have the luau basics

[severe cobalt]

luau > lua 5.1, that's not even debatable lol

[hollow thicket]

lua is kinda shit tbh
