yeah I prefer coding everything in HolyC tbh

[hollow thicket]

pythooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon

[severe cobalt]

yeah but with curly brackets /j

[austere egret]

looks so ass 💔

[severe cobalt]

margins go brrrr

[hollow thicket]

then hire ui guy

@tropic plume

[tropic plume]

cool

vouch @lost turtle bc his website is cool

[azure granite]

guys if im saving objects to my plot objects table should i be storing oop objects or should i just make functions that work on any object inside the tablew

[willow wedge]

Wdym

[robust monolith]

Store Tables not Entire Classes, Like:
{Name = "Apple", Weight = 23.4, Modifications = {"Gold","Shiny"}}

[robust monolith]

Make a function then to convert an oop object of a plot object into something like this

[brittle token]

yo bro can you help me with something rq

[robust monolith]

?

[brittle token]

im trying to use multiple click detectors for a calculator and i tried this

local function onClicked(player, B1)
Display.Text = '1 + ...'
local function onClicked(player, B2)
Display.Text = '1 + 2 = 3'

[brittle token]

the first part works but not the second

[robust monolith]

first of all thats not even how a real calculator is scripted

[brittle token]

yea its just gonna be 1234 for now

[azure granite]

for every object inside my plot table, should i remake the oop object to be able to use the methods, or should i just make a function that isnt oop

[azure granite]

oh yeah thats what im doing rn already i cant access the methods inside the table
idk even know what im doing cause this is the first time im using oop but its kinda working ig?

[robust monolith]

why do you have to

[azure granite]

have to what?

[robust monolith]

why do you need the methods

just reconstruct the saved data for the object into the same oop object

[normal saffron]

Whats the most y'all have made doing scripting comissions? (In a month)?

[robust monolith]

not really much for me since i work on big projects that take time, but at most in one month maybe 110$

[brittle token]

nvm i give up

[normal saffron]

Since how long youve been scripting for?

[robust monolith]

maybe professionally about a year maybe a bit less even

or about a year

[normal saffron]

Alright thx

[copper frost]

yo

im a scripter

that is

noob

beginner u can say

i wanted to ask about

bonned mesh does anyone know?

xd

[azure granite]

isn't the point of that to get the methods?

And also i want methods or something so its easy for me to grow my objects inside my plots and add mechanics such as collecting

[robust monolith]

Feel like you should be asking #modeling that

[copper frost]

bonned mesh i mean that making water waves using bonned mesh

its not modeling

its all scripting when u have the bonned mesh model

[robust monolith]

When leaving the game, Deconstruct the Object into a bare Table with information about the object, without OOP this time, without methods.

When Joining, take the Table, and Then Use the OOP Class to make the same object using that information, and boom, use that whenever

[robust monolith]

Then check out Acerola's Water Waves Videos

it's really good to learn how the water waves work and the math behind it

[azure granite]

well my question was if its better to do that or just make a generic function but in the end it shouldnt be that hard to implement, so im gonna do that method

[copper frost]

do u have link to it or maybe ill just go search out

[robust monolith]

I don't fully understand, but i'd recommend my method if you're using oop

[copper frost]

thanks for reaching out

[robust monolith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH9q0HNBjT4

[azure granite]

should i store classname inside the object so i can use the correct class constructor, becausee my table will have different types of objects

[copper frost]

THANKS I APPRECIATE

[robust monolith]

Sure use the Classname too

[copper frost]

do u think u could help me sometimes if im stuck with codes?

[robust monolith]

If it's in code discussion yeah I guess but I can't guarantee helping muc

[copper frost]

im fine if u can help me in dms

because i get stuck at alot of codes

and when i ask chatgpt

it dosent work out well

[azure granite]

i wanna say i appreciate the help u guys give to us new scripters

[robust monolith]

Every scripter once they learn wishes they had more help to understand stuff better

[gusty heron]

bro why would a runservice event not fire at all

[azure granite]

btw if i leave the game, and the code runs to deconstruct every object into bare table, would the game not be able to do that since player left? and im using some playerstore wrapper and it might give me an error

[brittle token]

how do yall apply force to a player

well apply force in general

[robust monolith]

New way is Vector force which requires math but I honestly just prefer a BodyVelocity for a short time as it does it's best to get the Object's velocity to the given one

[brittle token]

cause im kinda stuck

block = script.Parent

block.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)then
print("touch")
block.CanTouch = false
force = Instance.new("")
end
end)

[brittle token]

alright thanks

[robust monolith]

PlayerRemoving Event is when a player leaves, This doesn't mean it lost the data

Like that's happening as the player is Leaving the game and what happens

[brittle token]

ok uh

hmm

[gusty heron]

Why isn't my RenderStepped event running. It won't even print "Here"?

[brittle token]

https://tenor.com/view/code-works-code-not-working-error-scaler-create-impact-gif-24991578

[azure granite]

oh. maybe cause im not really sure how fast code runs, but is it safe to assume if i do the "make every object inside table just a table of properties", it will be basically instant?

idk how soon the data wrapper saves the thinbg after pl.ayer leaves

[robust monolith]

It doesn't matter WHAT you do or how long the code takes

And that's instant dw about it

[azure granite]

alr ty

[gusty heron]

bro please I don't know why this is happening nothing is stopping RunSerivice.RenderStepped from at least printing "Here"

[rocky goblet]

hello

[gusty heron]

bro my entire localscript isn't working

[somber vault]

yo what yall think abt that hollon

[gusty heron]

nvm it is fine

[loud swallow]

can someone help me, my npc get sent 500 blocks below ground

[hoary cedar]

You're either yielding on a WaitForChild call, a require, or CharacterAdded

[gusty heron]

yea it was the CharacterAdded

[eternal apex]

datastores make me so mad man

[tacit tendon]

How do I delete a place

[burnt pulsar]

any advanced scripters here?

[naive meadow]

Are exploiters still able to abuse PromptProductPurchaseFinished?

[analog loom]

you cant delete a place you can only archive it. go to roblox studio press the 3 lines next to the place and click archive

it has to be unpubilished first i think

[sudden estuary]

how were they able to abuse it before

[gritty vault]

do yall have any idea on how to access a specific player in a server script then run humanoid events

[austere mulch]

do you know the username of that specific player?

[slate valley]

they tell the client the purchase went through n the client tells the server it was succesful, in that way the server awards players w whatever they buy

[sudden estuary]

first hearing of this, so its likely fixed

[slate valley]

older games that set up any purchase logic related to robux are more vulnerable as new games don't use that

[gritty vault]

thats not reliable

cause people can have the same name

[sudden estuary]

i don't use this to process purchases, but its good to know regardless

[sudden estuary]

people can have same usernames?

[austere mulch]

you can't have the same username

fym

[austere mulch]

the specific in the question really depends

on the player's level in the game? his backpack?

[cinder vigil]

uh

america war

[clear cypress]

does anyone know how to make it so tools ignore click dectors?

[slate valley]

do u mean when you're holding a tool but you can click on clickdetectors?

[clear cypress]

yea

[gritty vault]

I MEANT

Usernames can be changed

idk

[dim moss]

guys im looking for someone to make my game for 10 dollars its easy the game idea and i tink the scripting too dm me

[sick saffron]

for all the scripters out here, where do you guys get your vfx and animations from to showcase your scripting work?

[untold gate]

online

[sick saffron]

do i have to credit the vfx artist and animator in my portfolio?

[untold gate]

if you want to

[austere egret]

free will

[untold gate]

but if you hired a vfx and took this for him then don't

[obsidian tendon]

guys, how to make NPCs as objects we can place in our plot?

[oak verge]

sup

[violet folio]

Express the plot as a table

an the npc as a table aswell

store the npc's plot in ```lua
npc.Plot = plot

and add the npc to the plot's npc storage
```lua
table.insert(plot.Storage, npc)

since the npc and plot are both instances, map the data to it's instance

local plots = {}
local plotInstance = workspace.Plot -- Example

plots[plotInstance] = {} -- Plot data, holds npc's etc

you should also create another map so you can quickly find an instance from npc or plot data

[obsidian tendon]

Got it, thanks!

[dark cedar]

Anyone know why roblox default animations dont play when I set the players Character to a different rig?

[sick saffron]

different rigs have different animations

[gritty vault]

how do i access each player in a server script then run humanoid events?
im making a script where theres different humanoid states i can set the player to

[robust monolith]

The Rig maybe doesn't have animate script

[dark cedar]

I inserted it, still didnt work

[robust monolith]

Which type of animations

the animate ones or simply other ones

if other animations like Emotes then load the tracks again

[dark cedar]

Roblox default animations dont work

I even tried adding the animate script through code, tried loading the default character then setting the character. Even with a default rig, no addons, still doesnt work

I FXIE DIT

RAHHHHHHHHH

[uncut cloud]

which is better profile service or profile store?

[potent basin]

The newer one

Dont use the old one

[karmic wadi]

"Any scripters in chat who takes %"

[cerulean mortar]

Lolll

[reef birch]

are these very going to not be 16 when using hexadecimal

[civic gull]

personally, i just said what was open source/made by someone else

[fossil jolt]

if i wanted to replace the players torso mesh how can i do that through script

if i just weld a new part with the mesh to the torso it doesnt have the players shirt and pants

[austere mulch]

you also need to clone the shirt and pant instance I think

[tame compass]

Does this game use Shapecasts infront and to the sides of the player?

To check for wedges

[tame compass]

I think that the Shapecast are on the client, and when they hit a wedge player can snap to - server checks the magnitude and determines, is the information from client true

[tame compass]

what is that

[robust monolith]

I think they may get the nearest ledge that it can raycast to without obstruction

[tame compass]

Then what's the point of these things

On the screenshot

You can display them

I don't think they would do this, if these don't even work

I'll try to recreate it for fun the way I understand it

I just made the offsets from where the shapecasts will start

[robust monolith]

Maybe just ledges highlighted?

[tame compass]

No, it doesn't work that way

[narrow rapids]

yall should character hitboxes mainly be dealt with on the client?

because of latency

[robust monolith]

Yes mostly and then you can validate

[narrow rapids]

the client controls movement system in my combat game

(sprinting, dashing)

[robust monolith]

But unless you're some AAA fps studio then You wouldn't really do wizard shit

[narrow rapids]

do u suppose 2 hitboxes, one server and one client for the character

[robust monolith]

I believe it just Validates the info of the Hitbox (Aka what It Hit and the Information for everything) on the server

[loud swallow]

Does anyone how i can make this make more natural, i use parlin noise and z determines block type using weight based rng stuff but the input is z

[narrow rapids]

so attack hitboxes are handled on client, and server has a hurtbox for each character and validates whether the client hitbox intersected with the character hurtboxes?

[robust monolith]

I believe CSGO uses Backtracking, where the client only sends in the angle of Where it shot, and at What TIME you shot, then the server backtracks (with saved positions) to that timestamp and sees if it would've landed, Don't use this in roblox tho it's hard to optimize imo

[narrow rapids]

wouldn't latency still be a problem or na

[robust monolith]

Yes

[robust monolith]

It always is a problem

[robust monolith]

Well depends what you're trying to achieve I guess, if it's like minecraft terrain, then You could make multiple Noise values and use more ways to randomize and determine the noise from that

[trail osprey]

dms?

[loud swallow]

i just send data from client and check weapons hitbox logs on server and check if the time and stuff matches

[narrow rapids]

i was gonna like do a simple client does all hitboxes and the server just does sanity checks

magnitude, weapon checks (so they can't rapid fire), etc.

and also the client sends their hrp position

but thats also gonna get checked

[loud swallow]

what if he moved and cuz of latency it shows invalid data

[cerulean mortar]

why would u do this

[narrow rapids]

its obviously still going to get sanity checks

the reason is so that hitting makes more sense from the player

[crimson pike]

anyone need a scripter making a yt video dm me fast

[cerulean mortar]

I would js use the Robertoro2 method imo

Timestamps is the way to go

• other things but start w timestamps

[loud swallow]

everything is too close which i dont want

[fossil jolt]

how do i fix this

[robust monolith]

reduce the frequency in the noise

[austere egret]

yo why she naked

[fossil jolt]

i have to duplicate

[cerulean mortar]

Timestamps are a cache on the server marking player’s positions with a life span of one second

[fossil jolt]

but the shirt isnt going on the duplicated part

[loud swallow]

i tried

[narrow rapids]

so every second every players position is saved

[cerulean mortar]

no, every 1/24 seconds I believe

[fossil jolt]

does anyone know a way to apply a bundle?

[narrow rapids]

well issues are that server hitbox position is always behind the clients hitbox position

[fossil jolt]

like a specific part?

through code

[narrow rapids]

so its best to send the client hitbox position right?

[vast bay]

İ was bored so i just did a full combat system💀

[cerulean mortar]

Yup, that’s why you have to predict the position on the server using calculations regarding velocity, latency, etc. + sanity checks when actually hitting a target

[narrow rapids]

is there an open source example of this anywhere

or a code example or something

for latency i just get player ping right and do some math with that

[cerulean mortar]

You’d have to google I don’t know of any

[cerulean mortar]

yup

[narrow rapids]

ok so

• when the player uses the weapon, fires an event to the server with the client hurtbox's position as a argument
• server does hitboxes using the client hurtbox position and takes into account latency and velocity to decide which other player hurtboxes are hit

so the server guesses the other players hurtbox positions

[cerulean mortar]

No so

[narrow rapids]

wait should the client hurtbox not be sent at all and the server guesses where it is

[cerulean mortar]

U want to send the position at which the client detected they hit another player

and also since ur making a melee system yes hrp position as well

[cerulean mortar]

Step 2. No so you’d make a separate module called timestamps that does all of that, storing the player positions within the most recent second

[manic sundial]

your taking the information from the client that they hit someone?

[cerulean mortar]

Yes, you are

[manic sundial]

you should likely have server handle hitbox data cause players can just lie about that

[tame compass]

nice

[cerulean mortar]

That’s what sanity checks are for

[narrow rapids]

you can't do much in roblox, also you can easily do magnitude checks and whatnot so the most the player can do is killaura

[manic sundial]

what are you using this for? seems cool.

[tame compass]

I want to recreate the Climbing game

And maybe make a tutorial video

[cerulean mortar]

u can do much more than magnitude but ya

I would consider dot product and etc

timestamps like I said earlier

[tame compass]

That was veeeeery easy to code

[manic sundial]

still allows for unfair advantage. even with sanity checks you should handle the creation of hitboxes under server not client

[tame compass]

That's all the code

I am currently just testing

[narrow rapids]

but server will always be behind client, so it will decrease user experience

[cerulean mortar]

Who said we are handling hit detection on the client

[manic sundial]

you just said you were?

[cerulean mortar]

they are working together, not only one working on its own

That’s the difference

[manic sundial]

decrease user experience at the cost of less cheats

[cerulean mortar]

Between what you and me are talking about

[manic sundial]

if your allowing the client to tell the server who they hit then thats just not a great idea

[cerulean mortar]

I don’t think u understand

[manic sundial]

i very much do understand

[cerulean mortar]

if u want to be enlightened then I suggest scrolling up

[narrow rapids]

so we just let the server do everything yea ok

[manic sundial]

for the most part, yeah

[narrow rapids]

that will massively decrease ux

[cerulean mortar]

❌❌

[narrow rapids]

combat warriors incorporates client positions too

[manic sundial]

i feel like most users would be more likely to quit if they get killed by someone using a kill aura

[cerulean mortar]

Yall can do what u want but I wouldn’t listen to low poly cat @narrow rapids

gtg

[manic sundial]

even if you check magnitude thats gonna be other issues. finding difference would change between player characters based on size unless you plan on forcing all players to the same character size

[manic sundial]

whats like the whole plan here for hit detection then

[narrow rapids]

your approach is like 1984

rosecodes incorporates both server and client

this is important to both have good ux and to have good anti-exploit

[stuck iron]

How much time it can take to be able to make any game idea ??

[narrow rapids]

this is like a double edged sword

[manic sundial]

you quite litteraly shouldnt trust any information from the client, let alone hitboxes

[narrow rapids]

yk the whole "shouldnt trust any information" thing only applies to most genres?

im not saying to handle money on the client or whatever

[manic sundial]

you are talking about a fighting game, where you take hitbox information from the client. That litteraly breathes being taken advantage of

[narrow rapids]

you need to understand that UX and anti-exploit are like a balance scale, your approach is full anti-exploit and mine is a mixture of both (balanced)

[cerulean mortar]

Lowpoly js come back when u gain more knowledge on the subject

liquid I think u got a good plan for making hit detection gl

[narrow rapids]

people won't play your game if your UX is terrible

[manic sundial]

ux is not that awful if you use hitboxes on server, its such a small difference its not worth taking hitbox data from client

[narrow rapids]

it is a big difference

your game will feel much smoother and much more like a real game

same reason why games handle dash and sprint mechanics on the client

[cerulean mortar]

U clearly never made a combat system before

[manic sundial]

ive made 2 fighting games, both with server side hitbox. neither of each of them had a large client server difference

[cerulean mortar]

🙏🙏

[manic sundial]

"someone suggests that i use a system that differs from mine, they must have a lack of knowledge and i must act elitist"

Im saying its a bad idea to use client side cause hackers often lead to a lack of players. im not telling you that you must use server side but im recomending against taking that data from the client

[cerulean mortar]

ok

[narrow rapids]

dude, combat warriors, black magic 2, combat mayhem etc. all use a mixture of server and client

[manic sundial]

dash and sprint arent ultra critical to the other users experiences. if your making a game with hitboxes and allow one player to just makeup hits (Yes rosecode even if you compare magnitude on server people can still lie and makup who and what they hit) on other players, its gonna severely diminish the other users experiences

[narrow rapids]

combat mayhem and bm2 used to get hella players

combat warriors still gets hella players

[manic sundial]

isnt combat warriors like also known for having a ton of exploiters?

[narrow rapids]

i haven't really encountered them much

[manic sundial]

really? All content i saw on that game was about hackers and not much fun for a solid few months

[cerulean mortar]

I never said anything on relying only on magnitude..

and to say gameplay mechanics like dashing and sprint aren’t important to gameplay is crazy

[narrow rapids]

arsenal iirc doesnt do any sort of checks

not even basic raycasting

[manic sundial]

not what i said, i said they arent super critical to other users experiences in terms of importance, they are also the easiest thing to counter in terms of exploiting

[manic sundial]

aresenal is also full of hackers wym 💔

[cerulean mortar]

That’s exactly his point

[manic sundial]

for years that game has been full of them

[narrow rapids]

sherlock holmes said this

thats my point

[manic sundial]

didnt see the middle part

mb

[cerulean mortar]

nw

[manic sundial]

i understand what your saying of its smoother for user, but i feel like its better to have the most important things for server and lave the stuff that is much easier to detect for cheating on the client.

[cerulean mortar]

Most important things are kept on server

[maiden thicket]

how much and how long can this be done in plz somene good we wasted 1.5k

[narrow rapids]

use trello

[cerulean mortar]

but this system gives the client some sort of a say in hit detection, not complete control, and this also makes the server not be completely dominant over the client

[maiden thicket]

answer

[narrow rapids]

uhhhhhhhhhhh it depends on scripters

how many scrpters are there and how fast are they

[cerulean mortar]

1-2 days

[maiden thicket]

price

[maiden thicket]

1

idk

lf one rn

[cerulean mortar]

I’m not for hire atm sry

[maiden thicket]

refer

plz

[narrow rapids]

a week

at most

[manic sundial]

while its gonna be better for client, i dont think its that large of an amount better. in the games ive made, two of my friends who sank large hours into games like the jujitsu shenanagins game, both said delay wasnt awful and very much playable without diminishing user experience to the shadow realm

[narrow rapids]

what sort of combat game is your game? theres subgenres to this

[austere egret]

chat gpt is free

[narrow rapids]

my game is going to be a very combo stat type game like devil may cry

[manic sundial]

melee punch, basic dashes,

[manic sundial]

oh you never said that

yeah go with client then

[narrow rapids]

oh ofc then

[cerulean mortar]

lollll

[narrow rapids]

well problem solved

[manic sundial]

i thought you were making a typical fighting game

not combo based

[cerulean mortar]

I personally would do the stuff me and liquid are talking about 100% if time but to each their own

[manic sundial]

i prefer just having zero input for cheaters in that sort of stuff

[narrow rapids]

mines gonna be very combo heavy so 🤷‍♂️ all client is better than all server

[cerulean mortar]

if u want to make the best game possible, it’s js way more responsive and the most secure you can get with this much responsiveness

[manic sundial]

yeah well i dont really make combat games much so

last one like a year ago so

[narrow rapids]

all client is max responsiveness, yours is max anticheat, rosecodes is a mixture of both but seems to be heavy in responsiveness

[cerulean mortar]

I already am part of a game that uses the exact thing I’m talking about and it’s very satisfying to play

So if u can pull it off you’ll get great results

[narrow rapids]

is yours combo heavy?

[cerulean mortar]

do you know what marvel rivals is

[narrow rapids]

i heard of it but havent palyed it

[cerulean mortar]

It’s like overwatch/marvel rivals

large amounts of abilities, elaborate playstyles and combinations with other characters, and it all works great

this system I speak of was actually designed by another coder who is very talented

[narrow rapids]

im only now breaking into the combat genre

ive been doing other types of games before like TD, booga booga-esque

[cerulean mortar]

That’s great, starting with this is going to do wonders for you

[viscid orbit]

hi

[narrow rapids]

well what abt varying hitbox size

[cerulean mortar]

then change distance, dot, and adjust your sanity checks

according to the data related to the weapon being used

[pallid sparrow]

Why do I see people useing so many module scripts in their game?

[coarse wraith]

easier to work with and keeps things organized

[vocal yacht]

Think of it as a function that can be used anywhere and anytime.

[pallid sparrow]

Ok

[vocal yacht]

You ever coded in python before?

[pallid sparrow]

Yeah thats basically all if used

But im not good at it really

[vocal yacht]

So do you know what a module is?

[pallid sparrow]

Yeah

[vocal yacht]

Ye so module script is basically just that

Bc if u think abt it in large projects u use a lot of modulss

[somber vault]

No module is a drake fan like me hardcore drake fan

[vocal yacht]

Repectfully Can u shut up pls

[somber vault]

U like drake no?

[vocal yacht]

No

[somber vault]

U like kendrick?

[vocal yacht]

No

I dont listen to songs

😭

[somber vault]

Good kendrick ass and drake goat keep it mind ok?

[vocal yacht]

Okay?

[lone marsh]

drake clears ur fav artist

how would i track how much robux someone has spent in my game, i am trying to make something like "Total robux spent for my stats ui and stuff" But i don't know how to track it

[crude quarry]

indetify the animation part then use :Play()

if that doesnt work then it's an issue with the animation itself

[crude quarry]

datastorage I would assume

[unreal crane]

yeah but i can't find anything about it ngl

[orchid trellis]

idk so can u just help me by me adding u to team

[crude quarry]

No

[unreal crane]

Do you have to do API? or would you not know that

I'm not too sure about data storages myself I have yet to mess with them

alr ty ig for ur tme

[orchid trellis]

im using default walk though by roblox

and it plays through a script

[crude quarry]

I just know they're used to store data whenever you need

instead of 1 time uses

[unreal crane]

thats what i wantt but idk if i use marketplace stuff or not

i even tried using ai and it tells me to use the roblox api system

i never even worked with that either

[crude quarry]

there might be an API to check but imo I would just setup a tracker by using math equations whenever someone buys something add it to a total

[remote bear]

i have improved the speed of my system but i just need to fix the shifted visuals caused by the display only being shifted in one direction

[deft swallow]

Who has experience with EditableMeshes ?

[unreal crane]

how do u make leaderstats invisible like this

but invisible

where it doesn't show these on top right

[final ivy]

CoreGui

Or you only want to not show leaderstats?

Just put the variables not inside the leaderstats folder

Better, don't use variable instances if you don't need to

[unreal crane]

ye but then will i still see it track? because i want to be able to see it under players.(user) so ik if its tracking properly

[final ivy]

Depends on where you want to access it from, do you need the leaderstats variables in multiple scripts? You can use a central modulescript if so, otherwise there's no point defining them for external use to begin with

Variable instances can be very annoying to debug since you'd have to go track down where the instance is, and if it is created at runtime, probably run the debugger

[unreal crane]

all im doing is tracking robux spent, but i have the leaderstats working, i just want to hide one leaderstat (called roibux spent)

BC It looks dumb

when it shows

[final ivy]

Do you need to access that variable in a script other than where it is defined?

[unreal crane]

ima use it later for ui and stuff

prob, idk yet

[final ivy]

Well if you don't want it displayed, you can just add it as a child under their Player object, or in a folder for organization

Preferably you'd use some modulescript and store it in there, I'd presume there's more info you're going to need for UI

[gusty heron]

if I put studs on the map of my game will I get more visits

[soft hornet]

I have experience with different programming languages. Yall think it’s worth learning luau and earning money?

Or is Roblox just a connected and friend tight space

[gusty heron]

I mean some people do make a livable income, few but they do

[unreal crane]

what do u mean few? A LOT OF PPL DO

[cerulean mortar]

Yes

[cerulean mortar]

No

yes u gain connections along the way but it’s not inclusive to only people who already know people

[soft hornet]

You sure? I’m still a high school student I just want to make this worth it.

[cerulean mortar]

Yes I am sure

I know a good amount of people who make a living off Roblox

[soft hornet]

Ok. Thank you.🙏🏾

[placid matrix]

roblox is a lottery and you need money to buy a lottery ticket.

[somber vault]

Bodyvelocity vs linearvelocity which r yall choosing

[mental shore]

yeah what this guy said

[dense aurora]

If text is only visable to the player who wrote it do i need to moderate it with textservice?

[jaunty herald]

do you usually play roblox

[mental dove]

yo

can someone help me with my ui script

[golden topaz]

guys i need help with a part so that when you enter within it you can swim like it is water but it still looks like the part yk what im saying,

[simple sage]

can someone give me a script where the camera shakes when u click e

[final ivy]

You can redefine how your character controller determines if it's swimming, falling, running, etc. using the ControllerManager APIs, see this guide. As an overview you'd need to modify the CheckSwimmingState() function and check there if the player is touching the part. Alternatively, you can set the ControllerManager's ActiveController and the Humanoid's state if you detect they enter the part.

You could also possibly find a way to make invisible water terrain, but I am not sure if you can do that.

[thin nova]

ok because like

what is c++ even about

how do c++ users resist just destroying their computer

[burnt pulsar]

any advanced scripters here?

[simple sage]

me

lowk

js fuck camera moving

https://tenor.com/view/goku-prowler-goku-goku-mad-goku-dbs-dbs-gif-11120329515669448575

i js fixed it now

[burnt pulsar]

bruh

[simple sage]

ah

well

u know how to script basic vfx?

[violet folio]

Only the top 0.1% really earn a livable wage

You’re better off putting effort into school / an actual career

[sand grove]

Does RemoteEvent:wait() work only once? I have a system for rounds, for the first time the script pauses and waits until it gets a signal from the timer of selecting teams in the player' s gui and teleports players to the map. But the second time it just skips this RemoteEvent:wait() and immediately teleports the player to the map, so I made just a variable and while loop that waits until the timer variable changes

[copper apex]

Nah real money is found outside of roblox TBH

Even if you make a really famous game

It will always die out eventually

You can def make an income where you can live off of it

But i dont think its very stable

[raven ore]

Why does my textbutton not show up on mobile but it shows up on pc just fine

I used the autoscale lite plugin (idk if it works) can someone help?

[soft hornet]

Yes

[sand grove]

just use scale

[soft hornet]

Then is the better option to work for a big studio?

[sand grove]

reset scale and place this textbutton again

[raven ore]

im new to roblox studio wdym

oh ok

I didnt see your other message

[sand grove]

Scale is a percentage of the screen size, offset is a fixed number of pixels on user device

[raven ore]

do i turn this on

[sand grove]

yes

text will always fit textbutton

[raven ore]

how do i reset scale

and by place again do you mean delete it and then remake it

[sand grove]

just type 0 in size and positon

[raven ore]

OK now what

do i use autoscale lite again or no?

[sand grove]

no

type 0.1 in position and size to set scale and put and somewhere on your screen

[raven ore]

OK

the button small af

can i resize it

[sand grove]

if you set position and size to scale you can just drag it

[raven ore]

Can I change the size of the button though? or does it always have to be this small

[sand grove]

Try put UIAspectRatioConstraint to button

[raven ore]

I already ahve it

[sand grove]

then resize it...

[raven ore]

yeah that's what i was asking

[graceful jackal]

is it possible to make a game that the maze changes every 1 minute?

[raven ore]

probably

[brazen hornet]

how do i slow down my animation the script is making it faster

[heady pagoda]

of course

[kind knot]

Day 2 of learning blender (ROBLOX ANIMATION)

[noble cradle]

is there any difference between RunService:BindToRenderStep and RunService.RenderStep:Connect()
im mostly concerned with optimization, is one better than the other?

[graceful jackal]

can we chat in dms?

[alpine anchor]

the performance difference is negligible choose based on your functional requirements rather than optimization

[noble cradle]

i see, thanks

[raven ore]

if i put events in a folder do i have to change my code

[violet folio]

Yeah

[raven ore]

fr?

like the remote events?

[violet folio]

If you move the events to a folder you will need to update the references to them

[thorn arch]

This is why an event handler is useful

[lethal bluff]

Whats more optimized:

1. 1 unique texture and 3 unique models
   OR
2. 1 unique model and 3 unique textures

Im thinking 1 but 🤔

[somber vault]

Aren’t they technically exactly the same

Its pretty hard to answer tho as it varies a lot

[sturdy stag]

guys if any one want to debug a bug dm me i have 1 year experience the payment will be in robux

[spiral jungle]

3 textures

[lethal bluff]

Why is that

[spiral jungle]

If we’re talking like meshes

The mesh has more stuff to calculate than textures

Like collisions and shadows

But there’s also a lot of factors like the resolution of textures and stuff

[lethal bluff]

Well for context, this dog is unwrapped in a purposely strange way. This is because:

• We will have many many breeds that use this same texture (rather than hand painting them, this is easier)
• There will be Mendelian genes that affect the look of the dog. Base color, pattern, white markings, etc. White markings will be made of mesh to minimize unique texture data. Patterns like in the picture though (brindle) are complex and difficult to make out of mesh, hence why it’s a texture instead. So, if we have a dog with brindle and white splotching, we can just put white splotching mesh over the original
  However, with this approach I realized that if we are to have variants of brindle or any other complex pattern, particularly with pattern condensing, we may have to use different meshes with different unwrapping to properly express it

I’ve seen people use trim sheets and then just remap a mesh onto different parts of the sheet for color variants, and apparently that’s more optimized, so I’m wondering if that would apply in this case too

It’s 1K resolution but I could probably bump it down to 512x512 with no issue

[spiral jungle]

Well Roblox caps textures to 1024x1024

[lethal bluff]

Yes

But that doesn’t answer my woes lol

[spiral jungle]

I mean honestly I think you’re kinda stressing too much about the performance

Unless you’ve got like a thousand different dog breeds it shouldn’t be much of a problem

[lethal bluff]

Well my game is heavily inspired by the methods of Sonar Studio (Horse Life and stuff) and they’re known for games that don’t perform the best on mobile, even though they use trim sheets and almost only meshes for patterns and stuff

[spiral jungle]

I mean the main problem doesn’t usually come from the memory issues

[lethal bluff]

Oh I see

Inefficient scripts I’m guessing

[spiral jungle]

You can but also a big problem is just the meshes

Cause of how many unique meshes there’d be there’d be a lot of calculations for the collisions

So you would need to just disable collisions for them

And just use a part instead

[lethal bluff]

Wouldn’t they fall through the floor?

O h

[spiral jungle]

Yeah so that’s why you’d need a part there

[lethal bluff]

You mean their collisions are calculated based on a part that’s invisible inside it right? Rather than the mesh itself

[spiral jungle]

Mesh parts have an option to lower the collision fidelity

[spiral jungle]

Yep

[spiral jungle]

For this you’d need to set it to square

[lethal bluff]

Oh yeah we do that already lol

[spiral jungle]

Well then just try to keep the number of meshes down

And the texture quality below 512 or something

[lethal bluff]

I’m not sure about Sonar, I work for 1 of their games but I don’t have access to their models in studio (only Blender)

[lethal bluff]

Total meshes in game or meshes in the data storage?

[spiral jungle]

Total number of unique meshes

[idle ether]

Anyone know how to code the scripts for “Football Fusion 2”?

[spiral jungle]

And then just turn streaming on

Cause mobile devices die when they render too much

[lethal bluff]

Is it not currently possible to have custom rendering? I swear I saw someone do that with an ocean system on Twitter

[lean ocean]

those are editablemeshes or skinned meshes

[spiral jungle]

You could have a custom rendering system but that’s too much of a hassle

Turning streaming enabled on helps a lot

And Roblox’s new occlusion culling should help a lot as well

[lethal bluff]

I MEAAAAAAN i guess we could always hire someone to do that in the distant future if the lag gets bad lol

[lethal bluff]

I’ve seen that as an option but no idea what it does

[spiral jungle]

It’s just like Minecraft where it doesn’t render things far away

And if your device is bad it’ll automatically lower the render distance

[lethal bluff]

Occlusion culling im familiar with at least

[lethal bluff]

Oh that

There’s another word for it outside of Roblox

[spiral jungle]

Render distance

I think Roblox automatically does level of detailing for your meshes

So just try not to preload every asset when you get into the game

And it’ll be fine

[pearl blaze]

Nah streaming is not occlusion culling or something render related

Yeah it stops showing objects but it's mostly memory/network based optimization than a rendering one

[spiral jungle]

Yes it does literally just unload it from the client

[lethal bluff]

I havent noticed any LOD in any game Ive played

And I have a good eye for that 😂

[pearl blaze]

Meshes

[velvet sigil]

Anyone able to test my game?

[lethal bluff]

yes what about them

[spiral jungle]

Maybe Roblox just does them better

[pearl blaze]

and also you have to turn some option on or something, I know automatically created LODS exists

you just need to have meshes in your game

[spiral jungle]

I think it’s to do with render fidelity

[lethal bluff]

Yes I just mean I dont notice any meshes that visibly get shittier from far away

Nor closer

[spiral jungle]

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

[spiral jungle]

Well they definitely do!

[pearl blaze]

Prob because objects in the games are too small

[spiral jungle]

You can see in the documentation

Roblox auto generates the LODs for you so

[lethal bluff]

cause at least in Unity its pretty obvious from afar if you look closely

[lethal bluff]

thats probably it

[spiral jungle]

Yea, cause those game engines allow for more control over your LODs

Roblox gives us 3 dropdown options and that’s it

[lethal bluff]

Of course it does 🫠

Still begging crying screaming throwing up for direct support for mesh texture layering

[spiral jungle]

I wish Roblox added shader support

But they confirmed we can’t have nice things

How sad

[pearl blaze]

Nah platform has a culture with roblox graphics

Letting edit graphics you'll turn turn it into boring game engine

[lethal bluff]

same

[spiral jungle]

No GPU acceleration

[lethal bluff]

when Roblox games can only make up over saturated low poly slop or realistism, that shows an inherently boring game engine 😂

[cerulean token]

anyone know how to fix the camera just being stuck here not being able to move or anything, i think a animation bugged and sent it here

[pearl blaze]

if you know only those 2 styles doesn't mean only those exist

[spiral jungle]

Yes it’s always possible to spot a Roblox game just by it’s lighting

[lean ocean]

not always

[spiral jungle]

We need a side by side comparison

[lethal bluff]

It's an overexaggeration but generally speaking there's over-consistency with games. There's definitely been improvement the past few years though

[spiral jungle]

Like guess which one of these 4 screenshots are Roblox

[pearl blaze]

nah not overexaggeration

defo over-consistency

[lethal bluff]

The fact that we CANT TURN ANTI ALIASING OFF MAKES ME SO SAD

[pearl blaze]

still if people suck and not creative doesn't mean there's no different styles possible

I saw a bunch of hidden gems

[lethal bluff]

No pixel games without PITA work arounds, and it doesnt even help the performance because of that 😭

[spiral jungle]

There’s different styles, but there’s always a way to tell it’s Roblox

[lean ocean]

there was an fps game that looked insanely realistic

forgot what it was called

[pearl blaze]

but yeah platform sucks I would like roblox to motivate players to create something unique with quality

not shit-tycoon escape obby

[spiral jungle]

We don’t even have layered animations

Additive animations

[pearl blaze]

I mean, whatever this is you can defo add it yourself if you've got enough experience in scriptin

[spiral jungle]

Yeah, but making it would mean so much work

And also all your animations would have to be setting the CFrame of parts and blah blah

A lot of effort for something other game engines already have

[pearl blaze]

Wdym, you can do anything with scripting nowadays, any tools

[spiral jungle]

Without absolutely nuking performance is hard though

[lean ocean]

some stuff is just better done by roblox

[spiral jungle]

Lua is so slow

Not good for calculations

[pearl blaze]

Why? No way

[spiral jungle]

That’s what the GPU is for

[lean ocean]

which we cant really utilize

[spiral jungle]

If only

[lethal bluff]

i couldnt care less about realism, it's cool, but I want to see unique stuff like this without my PC exploding. Hyper realism doesn't always = good quality. Remember this is a platform for kids

If realism is what kids liked, Pokemon wouldnt still be anime esque

[spiral jungle]

Yeah but good god we can’t even have a cartoony shader

[lethal bluff]

THATS WHAT I MEAAAAAAN

[pearl blaze]

Realism is NOT cool, you won't tell me atleast one game that people play that has realistic graphics

Realism is not for roblox that's for sure

[spiral jungle]

I mean

Frontlines

[lethal bluff]

Ecos La Brea

The Lookout

Savannah Life

[spiral jungle]

Garten of BanBan 🤑

[lethal bluff]

Not very well known because the ones I listed are relatively niche games, but realistic nonetheless

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5LsS8fF-kg

[pearl blaze]

Eh the only realistic game I can get from this list is Frontlines

[pearl blaze]

But yeah looking at quality of this game it's sad it has only 400 players

That amount is small for this amount of work

[lethal bluff]

When I showed non roblox players Ecos La Brea, they couldnt believe it was roblox

[lethal bluff]

It was 4K CCU a little while ago and now has almost 7 million visits

[pearl blaze]

Prob they never played roblox long enough to know

I don't know how someone can not notice this grass while playing roblox

[daring echo]

Looking for a pro scripter full time, USD, dm me

[spiral jungle]

#scripter-hirable

[pearl blaze]

Well everyone checked, it died fast

What's the point of playing those types of games on roblox if there's so much more in other engines?

That's why roblox is NOT for realism

[lethal bluff]

Theres many reasons its died down, mostly being that its in early access and it gets boring fast lol

It's pretty common for games like that

realistic survival games are fun for a limited amount of time for some reason, no one has really figured out how to keep them coming back. Creatures of Sonaria is doing very well (weirdly) but it's not a realistic game so not too comparable

[spiral jungle]

At least Roblox mobile is more optimised than desktop

[dusky kestrel]

Roblox speedrunning draining my phone's battery

[kind knot]

how do i start scripting

[shy bobcat]

by doing small scripts

leaderboards donations etc

that's how I learnt most of lua

[rustic torrent]

local mps = game:GetService("MarketPlaceService")

ez

am i master at scripting yet?

[rotund pawn]

Global Leaderboards are created by OrderedDataStore correct?

[cerulean perch]

Guys Packet or ByteNet

[charred night]

remote events

[ember nimbus]

you do know that using a networking library is no longer as superficial as it was

buffer networking is only really viable with a networking lib

no one wants to manually encode & decode buffer formats everywhere

[chrome axle]

Is Coroutines worth to learn? is they even useful ?

[lean ocean]

Task.spawn too

Yes useful

[dusty shuttle]

I am trying to make a clicker game but i cant seem to get the ''clicking'' mechanism to work

This is my remote event script

[lean ocean]

why do u have an if statement to check if remote exists

Also can you show the local script

[hearty olive]

like this

[velvet vapor]

What's the best way to deal with situations when I want to pass my instance of class through remote event?

Just get it on client / server and set metatable?

[dusty shuttle]

Alr

[hearty olive]

if like that then local Click = script.Parent

Click.Activated:Connect(function(click)
local leaderstats = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local Clicks = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Clicks")
local ClicksValue = Clicks.Value
Clicks.Value = ClicksValue + 1

local Coins = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Coins")
local ClicksValue = Clicks.Value
Coins.Value = ClicksValue + 5

Click.Sound:Play()

end)

[dusty shuttle]

Ahhhh i found the problem

[velvet vapor]

add three ` before and three this things after and it will be formatted for u

[hearty olive]

ok

[dusty shuttle]

Heres my local script. Instead of ''local debounce = false'' I wrote ''local debonce = false''

[lean ocean]

Ic

[velvet vapor]

local Click = script.Parent

Click.Activated:Connect(function(click)
    local leaderstats = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
    local Clicks = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Clicks")
    local ClicksValue = Clicks.Value
    Clicks.Value = ClicksValue + 1

    local Coins = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Coins")
    local ClicksValue = Clicks.Value
    Coins.Value = ClicksValue + 5

    Click.Sound:Play()
end)

[hearty olive]

wym can you explain add three where if possible

[velvet vapor]

`, 3 on the line before code and 3 on the new line after code, I mean if u send it code in discord and what to look it normal, not like a mess

[dusty shuttle]

How do I make so my ''click'' stats go here instead of in the leaderboard

[velvet vapor]

code

[hearty olive]

oh

[hearty olive]

I don't know how to do that

[velvet vapor]

Just find ` in your keyboard

yea press it three times paste code and after press it three times again

[hearty olive]

oh ty

[hearty olive]

wym?

[dusty shuttle]

Currently, the clicks go

here*

[dusty shuttle]

And I want it to go here

[hearty olive]

like this?

repeat task.wait() until plr:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
repeat task.wait() until plr.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Coins")

local function update()
    local newvalue = plr.leaderstats.Coins.Value
    script.Parent.Text = newvalue
end
update()
plr.leaderstats.Clicks:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
    update()
end)
while true do
    task.wait(0.5)
end```

[velvet vapor]

bro what is that why not :WaitForChild()

use waitforchild instead it was specifically created for this kind of situations

[hearty olive]

ok

[velvet vapor]

i mean instead of repeat task.wait() line

[hearty olive]

ik it works the same but I changed it to waitforchild

[frigid ridge]

You make a leader stat

then add a property changed signal and make so that text is set to the value

[dusty shuttle]

I have one already.

[lean ocean]

you need to connect a .changed event to the clicks value

[vocal ledge]

Can anyone help me?

[lean ocean]

and change the text of the ui based off of that

[dusty shuttle]

Alright.

[vocal ledge]

Please help me with this

[lean ocean]

Make sure it's local script

[vocal ledge]

@lean ocean, can you help me

[steady widget]

GPT code

[dusty shuttle]

Not gpt brodie, stop being a d1 hater, also did it as my clicks were not working but then found the mistake in a different script

[steady widget]

don't instance a remote

[vocal ledge]

Can anyone help me?

[steady widget]

are those your anims?

[vocal ledge]

Yup

[steady widget]

like you uploaded them?

[vocal ledge]

Yes

The animations work in studio, but not in game

[steady widget]

is it your game?

[vocal ledge]

Yes

[steady widget]

under your name or group

[vocal ledge]

Yes

My name

So, what is the fix @steady widget

Anyone?

[severe cobalt]

Likely re-upload your animations. The error message seems to be a roblox issue, so I dont got much for advice.

I'd also re-upload them as a new anim so it generates another id

[celest cipher]

W THUMBNAIL

[azure granite]

for i = 1, 1000 do
    print(DateTime.now().UnixTimestampMillis)
end

is this normal performance

[severe cobalt]

its faster than what print shows. Printing to console yields a bit typically.

Just use a profiler in the developer console https://create.roblox.com/docs/studio/developer-console

[solid fulcrum]

yoo guys i need help making coins spawn randomly out of these three locations highlighted in that black area right there.

i have a whole coin creation system that spawns when you press the button i just need to make the coin spawn alternate between each of those points there.
heres what i currently have for that

local CoinSpawn = workspace.Room.CoinSpawns:GetChildren()
    local RandomSpawn = CoinSpawn[math.random(#CoinSpawn)]

beginner scripter btw so don't use any like advanced terms on me 🥹

[short vale]

what's the problem here?

[solid fulcrum]

coins spawn out of the dispenser just fine

i would just like it to like

[pulsar pier]

you only have 1 argument for the math.random()

[solid fulcrum]

spawn in different areas of the dispenser rather than just the middle

if you get what im saying,

[pulsar pier]

do math.random(1,#CoinSpawn)

[solid fulcrum]

ive highlighted all the spawns i wanted the coins to spawn in in this screenshot

[solid fulcrum]

underneath?

[short vale]

he's talking about this line

local RandomSpawn = CoinSpawn[math.random(#CoinSpawn)]

[solid fulcrum]

ohhhh

[short vale]

although I'm pretty sure it will use 1 as the low boundary anyways

[solid fulcrum]

it spawns here though..

for some reason lol

[pulsar pier]

oh it does

[short vale]

show coin spawn logic

[pulsar pier]

damn😭

[solid fulcrum]

heres the entire script

-- SPAWNING OBJECTS --

--Spawn a new part below

--[[local newPart = Instance.new("Part")

newPart.Name = "A New Part"
newPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(0, 15, 0)
newPart.Rotation = Vector3.new(0, 0, 45)
newPart.Anchored = true

newPart.Parent = game.Workspace
]]--

local myPart = game.Workspace.Room.Button.myCoolPart

myPart.Touched:Connect(function(buttonTouched)
    for i = 7.22, 9, 0.05 do
        myPart.Position = Vector3.new(-14.664, 3.52, i)
        task.wait(0.007)
    end
    task.wait(1)
    myPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(-14.664, 3.52, 7.22)
    myPart.Rotation = Vector3.new(90, 0, 0)
    task.wait(1)
end)

myPart.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
    local spawnPart = Instance.new("Part")
    spawnPart.Name = "Coin"
    local CoinSpawn = workspace.Room.CoinSpawns:GetChildren()
    math.random(1,#CoinSpawn)
    spawnPart.Parent = game.Workspace
    spawnPart.Color = Color3.new(0.945098, 0.823529, 0.0392157)
    spawnPart.Material = Enum.Material.Glacier
    spawnPart.Size = Vector3.new(1, 0.4, 1)
    task.wait(2)
    for i = 0, 1, 0.05 do
        spawnPart.Transparency = i
        task.wait(0.05)
    end
    spawnPart:Destroy()
end)

so this is both the button and coin spawn script in one which i feel is quite unorganized but 😭

thats for when i get better 💪

[short vale]

you've kinda messed up the math.random

math.random(1,#CoinSpawn)

it's just there by itself

[solid fulcrum]

ohh

[short vale]

I assume what you wanna do is something like

local RandomSpawn = CoinSpawn[1, math.random(#CoinSpawn)]
local spawnPart = Instance.new("Part")
spawnPart.Name = "Coin"
spawnPart.Position = RandomSpawn.Position

so that the coin you created is placed at the random spawn position

also it might be a good idea to create the coin template beforehand and place it in ReplicatedStorage, then clone it to create new coins

[solid fulcrum]

ive heard a lot about clone but havent learned it yet

[short vale]

it's pretty simple, let me know if you have questions about this set up

local coinTemplate = ReplicatedStorage.CoinTemplate
local newCoin = coinTemplate:Clone() -- This now references a new coin
newCoin.Parent = workspace -- Place it in workspace so it's rendered
newCoin.Position = RandomSpawn.Position -- Place the coin at the random spawn position

[shy bobcat]

pretty sure some of y'all are familiar with topbarplus v3. So my gui duplicates when I reset my character, any fixes?

[solid fulcrum]

oh yeah btw do you know what replicated storage is used for?

i havent quite learned all the folders in workspace but

[pulsar pier]

the CoinSpawn at like 32 is currently just a number between 1 and amount of coin spawns
also why you are defining 2 variables with the same name

[solid fulcrum]

for somereason im also getting an error here

[solid fulcrum]

oh i didnt even notice lol

[short vale]

workspace is for stuff that should be rendered in the world, replicated storage is for storing anything really, from module scripts to objects

[pulsar pier]

its local RandomSpawn = CoinSpawn[math.random(1,#CoinSpawn)]

[solid fulcrum]

so i shouldnt store like my buildings made lets say in workspace

[short vale]

it probably cannot find CoinSpawn because it's not defined

[pulsar pier]

your 1 is out of the math.random()

[short vale]

if you mean they're static buildings in a map that should always be there then workspace

[solid fulcrum]

ohhh

ill fix that my bad

[short vale]

if the building shouldn't be there, but you might need it at some point, then replicatedstorage

[solid fulcrum]

ohh i see

[crisp falcon]

Maybe disabling resetonspawn? Not sure 🤔

[shy bobcat]

Everything is a script

aka the UI is made by a script

[short vale]

ResetOnSpawn is a property of ScreenGui, all UI has to be inside a ScreenGui container

either your script that creates the UI is inside a ScreenGui with ResetOnSpawn enabled, or the script is inside StarterCharacter

[shy bobcat]

I can't lie I actually forgot to put that under screengui 😭

I feel like an idiot now

thx for help anyway

[crisp falcon]

Hahhaa, that happens

[shy bobcat]

I was doing all that late at night

[modest geode]

looking for devs that will work for revenue split or for free!

[short vale]

ah yes the revenue split of 0 goes hard

[shy bobcat]

had to publish the update to the testers

[modest geode]

how is it 0?

[short vale]

mb if it's not, usually people offer revenue split for games with 0 revenue

[crisp falcon]

You won’t believe the things i did at night on accident 🤣

[short vale]

@crisp falcon what's your scripting experience

[modest geode]

maybe we get 0 or maybe we got millions to billions of robux, its all under gods will but now i need faith from devs

[crisp falcon]

Like how long i’ve been scripting?

[short vale]

ye

[crisp falcon]

A year or 2, but i’ve gotten pretty advanced the last couple of months

I had alot of breaks

[stuck iron]

I made some systems to learn scripting so I wanted to know some more systems

What I did : (made shiftlock go to ctrl and sprint system and proximity prompt teleportation system and changing part color to a random one )

[short vale]

I've realized I clone animations for each character in my game, I'm wondering now would it make sense to place a single instance of each animation in ReplicatedStorage, and loading it from there, thoughts?

[thorn arch]

Yes

Is a good idea

[crisp falcon]

Yeah that seems like a good idea

[short vale]

the thing is I don't think I've seen people do that ever, often they just put animations in startercharacter

but I'm trying to optimize the game as much as possible and with 50 players that's like 300 animation instances 😭

[crisp falcon]

Hmmm

Yes but those 300 animations would be shared across the clients

[short vale]

yeahh

[crisp falcon]

Each client would still only have 6 animations loaded

[short vale]

I've completely stopped using the startergui for that same reason

cuz the server really has no business storing all of those screenguis for each client

[crisp falcon]

So, for optimization i don’t think it matters where you place them. But if you keep cloning them from replicated storage i think you would be better off having them in starterplayer

[crisp falcon]

Where do you store them now?

[short vale]

cuz I think an animation instance isn't much, it's just used to create an AnimationTrack, wouldn't make sense to have duplicates of it

[crisp falcon]

Well, how would the clients know what they need to display on the screen 🤔

[short vale]

ReplicatedStorage, the client clones the GUI from there and the server doesn't have a copy of them

[crisp falcon]

It still does, because it gets replicated from the server to the client

[short vale]

in what way

[short vale]

it has one copy of the entire gui, the one in replicated storage, but individual gui for each player is created on the client so the server doesn't even know about it

because with startergui the gui is created on the server, so you'll have a copy of startergui for each player stored on server

[crisp falcon]

Is that so??

[woeful tide]

yo i did an animation with sound but after i putted it in the workspace i dont hear the sound how to fix?

[short vale]

yeah like imagine this but for 50 players

[crisp falcon]

I think startergui works the same way right?

[short vale]

instead you store it in ReplicatedStorage, the client clones it and the server doesn't store the clients GUI

[short vale]

that's me using startergui

the server sees and stores all of the GUI

[crisp falcon]

And what happens when it’s in replicated storage?

[short vale]

it stores one copy of GUI

the clients can then clone it locally

[candid fox]

you most likey parented the sound wrong, try parenting it to the player using the animation

[somber vault]

"Cool, thanks for the info! I'll definitely keep that in mind."

No way, that's too complex.

Sorry for the late reply! Here are some tips on how to add sound to your animations: 1. Open up your project and navigate to the Animation window. 2. Select the keyframe where you want the sound to play. 3. Click on the Properties panel and select Sound. 4. Choose a Sound Source (e.g., "Player"), then select the sound asset you want to use from the list of available sounds in your project. 5. Move the slider to set the volume level for the sound. You can also adjust the pan settings to move the audio source left or right. 6. Click on the Apply button to save your changes and hear the sound playback. If you need more help, feel free to let me know!

[woeful tide]

alr ill try

[woeful tide]

also i dont see the sounds in the moon anim

[crisp falcon]

Trulyflo are you ai??

[crisp falcon]

Hmm, interesting

[short vale]

one thing that this prevents is changing players GUI from server, but I don't do that anyways and think it's a bad idea generally

[crisp falcon]

Yeah the server doesn’t need to do that

[woeful tide]

@candid fox i just hear it but i dont see it on the timeline

[crisp falcon]

But maybe it’s just a reference to the same gui in startergui.. because i don’t think it also stores each value of the gui, that would be so unoptimized

Or does it??

[somber vault]

Luna: 😊 8:56 AM

[candid fox]

i have no clue then sorry , i think your best asking in animation

[short vale]

it does, cuz when you test in studio and enable server view, you can see individual GUI objects in each Player

[woeful tide]

alr thanks the same man

[short vale]

basically it comes down to the fact that StarterGui does :Clone() on server and places it inside PlayerGui on server

[crisp falcon]

Yeahh but isn’t it just a reference to the same exact gui instance that the server has in startergui?

[somber vault]

Lol. I'm not exactly sure happening here, but it like everyone is trying to talk to someone named Annmarie. I'll try and help out as much as possible!

[crisp falcon]

That’s so weird, i didn’t know that lol

[short vale]

unfortunately no, because if you change a value of a text label for example this is replicated to that specific player

what's the payment 🤑

[crisp falcon]

Dangg what, that makes no sense

💰💰💰

[true pecan]

USD but am going to use fiverr

[short vale]

I think it's a remnant of old Roblox days, but in my game where there are 50 players you can imagine how server memory can go wild

[crisp falcon]

What’s the task?

[crisp falcon]

Yeahhh that would go insane without any benefit 🤣

[true pecan]

let me share you the full details

[crisp falcon]

Bet!

[dusty shuttle]

Im trying to attach an animation to my tool, here is my script, but it aint owrking

working**

[dusty shuttle]

You can use me

[crisp falcon]

You can’t even get an animation to work..

[dusty shuttle]

Ik heheh

[crisp falcon]

What was that long message…..

[normal grove]

Making a fast paced fighting game, doing knockback, its delayed on the attackers end, anyone know ways to reduce this delay to a more playable state?

Using linear velocity with a tween which im sure is adding to the delayed feeling

[lean ocean]

is the linearvelocity on the server

[normal grove]

Its Server > client > knockback

so its on the client but goes through a remote

[mighty star]

Hey I'm here to discuss some code

[crisp falcon]

👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

[true pecan]

@dusty shuttle @crisp falcon I was unable to share link here I guessed

[normal grove]

Honestly it seems alot smoother on the server i just dont know where to commit

[somber vault]

@normal grove 😊 😅

[crisp falcon]

Ahh, can you do it in dms?

[normal grove]

im looking for knockback like JJS

[true pecan]

yes

[woeful dune]

if your looking to hire devs please take this to the marketplace, read #marketplace-info

Yo guys anyone got a good website for pixelated ui

thx

Hi guys, I'm new to roblox scripting but I'm a computer scientist with experience in other programming languages, I'd like to try to start running paid commissions but I really have no idea where to start, most of the requests I see already require enough experience specifically with roblox so I have no idea where to start... In the meantime I made a portfolio rickfolio.neocities.org

[little crest]

well, there are still some little commissions hidden in #scripter-hiring but don't expect them to pay you well. You can also try to see on https://talent.roblox.com. Or developer hangout (that is a game on Roblox) where I found my first jobs

[somber vault]

developer hangout?

i'll look into it thx

[little crest]

anyway, you will probably earn like 50 bucks for a one week work, so idk if it's worth your time, i would rather build a strong portfolio

[little crest]

[celest cipher]

W or L

[austere mulch]

do you know javascript/typescript

[somber vault]

yes

[austere mulch]

You can use roblox typescript

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

[somber vault]

ah, thx, I appreciate the advice, basically I don't have problems with luau per se but with the structure set up by roblox, like the fact that it doesn't have a dbsm but a sub sort of filesystem, tool and player management etc..

[austere mulch]

as far as commissions are concered since you have experience in JS you can apply for the JS/TS role and post in #programming-hirable

[jovial surge]

hey, im new here but i have some decent skills in programming. whats a game i can make to show off my skills?

[somber vault]

🤪 so y'all been chattin' 'bout commissions and stuff a cool opportunity , even if it

[mystic belfry]

yo guys

[austere mulch]

?

[mystic belfry]

guys where is the best plays to get hired for my scripting? like commision wise

[little crest]

read chat

[mystic belfry]

ye ik but like is there another way or server or smth to get hired?

[mint cloud]

I deleted “the image” 💔

[copper jacinth]

https://create.roblox.com/talent/search/jobs

[austere mulch]

[crisp falcon]

Whaat is this fr a thing?

Just checked it out, it’s useless in my opinion. You still need to know the basics of the roblox api to get started, and you’ll automatically pick up the luau syntax because it’s very simple.

@somber vault

[crisp falcon]

Vehicle systems, since they require some advanced skills. Maybe something like an advanced combat system. Those type of things.

[robust monolith]

I honestly Recommend complex dialogue systems and NPCs, there's infinitely many features and details you can add to NPCs and AI

That's at least how I got my skill role

[mint cloud]

Ok clanker

[jovial surge]

thanks for the suggestions

[mortal plaza]

how do I make a textlabel have a moving gradient?

[crisp falcon]

By making it

[mortal plaza]

im asking how to do it

[crisp falcon]

Aaaaaaaaahhhhh

[patent sonnet]

i know this isnt a great place to ask as a lot of scripters here just steal code and use chatgpt, but what % of scripters can i find to actually script my game and not just steal ps99/bgsi/any other games code

and where can i find those people

because the last 4 people ive hired have just stolen code, used chatgpt, or modified it a bit to make it look like their own code

[static coral]

thats crazy
