then script editor

[glad mist]

idk what im looking for

rn im testing a random car but legit even when I take a random car from the toolbox and place it in, it suddenly doesnt work, ANY car

or anything for that matter

@rotund lichen

[rotund lichen]

holy many errors and warnings

[glad mist]

idk what i did

[rotund lichen]

idk how cause it's so many

[glad mist]

this is legit all ghibberish to me

[somber vault]

does anyone know a way i could switch the left leg and right leg easily? they are mismatched the left leg is on the right leg spot and the right leg is on the left leg spot but theres a lot of nodes so its hard to change

[mellow loom]

i think u dont have perms for the asset, but lowky i think that model is just bad

[compact spoke]

moon animator probably has something for this

[glad mist]

maybe i found culprit I asked chatGPT and he made me see if it was being welded to anything and for some reason parts of the car auto-welded to random bushes across my map

[severe cobalt]

hmm maybe about adopting pets

[real zealot]

gmod console type errors

[fading ermine]

does brawl dev cover everything there is to be decent at scripting?

No

[fading ermine]

awhh

what else is there

[real zealot]

yourself

[fading ermine]

???

[real zealot]

ask yourself how to script…

works 99% of the time

not patched

[fading ermine]

omg

[fading ermine]

not patched fr?

[real zealot]

yes

[fading ermine]

ima try

it worked

i lewrned im dumb

im bunz at controller stuff

ima abuse before next update

[glad mist]

i found the issue, there was some random script I didnt put into the game named "weld" it was by itself inside of workspace

"-- Created by Quenty (@Quenty, follow me on twitter).
-- Should work with only ONE copy, seamlessly with weapons, trains, et cetera.
-- Parts should be ANCHORED before use. It will, however, store relatives values and so when tools are reparented, it'll fix them.

--[[ INSTRUCTIONS

• Place in the model
• Make sure model is anchored
• That's it. It will weld the model and all children.

THIS SCRIPT SHOULD BE USED ONLY BY ITSELF. THE MODEL SHOULD BE ANCHORED. "

this was written in the first few lines

it legit broke EVERYTHING

[uneven jolt]

Is it better to use local scripts or a Script with RunContext as local?

[halcyon jetty]

local script = 1 click
RunContext = 3 clicks

[lean ocean]

local scripts

[halcyon jetty]

is it worth learning OOP

[fading ermine]

Somone asked me what boolean value is 🥀🥀

[fading ermine]

oop??

[halcyon jetty]

ye

[fading ermine]

ask somone that knows oop🥀🥀

[lilac zinc]

Yes

You will encounter code that will use oop, so you have to get used to it

[halcyon jetty]

where else than code discussion 😭

[lilac zinc]

whether you like it or not

[halcyon jetty]

alr

i mean it seems useful

i kinda get the basics already just need practice

[fading ermine]

Ion rven know how to script and now i gotta learn oop

dang

[lilac zinc]

I recommend reading on metatables, metamethods, and thorough reading on the __index metamethod, then you can move on to guides to oop on roblox

[halcyon jetty]

alr cheers

[lilac zinc]

(to put it simply, the __index metamethod makes it so if an index doesn't exist in the table, it looks at the table specified in the index metamethod for the index, and if it exists, it will use that value)

But its more complex than that it also accepts functions

[halcyon jetty]

so its kinda like how i did different "variants" of lets say items already just less copy paste

[lilac zinc]

It's like inheritance

local a = {["hi"] = 2} 
local b = setmetatable({}, {__index = a}) 
print(b.hi) -- prints 2, even though b doesn't have index "hi", it looks back into a

[halcyon jetty]

cool

[lilac zinc]

This is useful for oop, because that means you can make objects inherit methods too, which saves memory

At the cost of a very little difference in speed

[sage prawn]

how do i get past learning basic front end scripting

[lilac zinc]

local a = {} 
function a:print() -- Method in a
  print(self) 
end 

local b = setmetatable({["bob"] = 2}, {__index = a}) 
b:print() -- prints {["bob"] = 2} (prints b) (not a)
a:print() -- prints {["print"] = "function"} (prints a) (not b)

And through the use of semicolons, you can even pass the original table through some functions. What you might notice is that I print self, and you might expect it to print a, but instead it prints b

b doesn't actually have a function named print, but it can still run it, and we're able to modify things in b directly from that function, which is the whole though behind lua oop

that function print can receive different kinds of self, each other self might be another "object", but what makes it special is that all these objects that point to that method, don't really use that much more memory to do so

[halcyon jetty]

alr thanks

i think i get it

ill try making smth in a bit

[sage prawn]

is that lua

[halcyon jetty]

ye

black magic lua

[sage prawn]

wth

it does not look like lua for some reason

[halcyon jetty]

bro

i cant send links

[lilac zinc]

i see the msg

[wooden root]

good morning guys

[lilac zinc]

i got vencord

[halcyon jetty]

anyways i read a devforum post seemed cool

[native quest]

its basic luaua, he just calling a function inside of a table essentially

what if we made a modulescript inside a modulescript repeated 1,000 times?

[lilac zinc]

local Car = {}
Car.__index = Car

function Car.new()
   return setmetatable({
      speed = 5
   }, Car) -- Makes a new table {}, with "speed" as a key, and adds the __index to point to "Car", which inherits all the methods and the fields, so the returned item is like a table with "speed" in it, but if you try to call :Boost(), it will send self over and run that function, even though it's not defined in the table {speed = 5}
end

function Car:Boost()
  self.speed *= 5
end

return Car

[sage prawn]

i havent learned module scripts yet

im a basic scripter 😭

[halcyon jetty]

basically big ass table

[sage prawn]

oh ok

do we eat on the table?

[native quest]

yes

[sage prawn]

bro the most complicated thing i know is tweenservice 😭

[halcyon jetty]

also i just realized theres something like compositon

is that oop on drugs

[sage prawn]

what is oop

[halcyon jetty]

object oriented programming

[native quest]

fancy word for meta tables and module scripts

[sage prawn]

oh ok

wait so would this work theoretically
game:GetService("Tweenservice")

if player says /fly then
fly
end

[lilac zinc]

zzzz_catblep

[clever shuttle]

??

[native quest]

mm yes, if we apply esoteric symbols to it it might just work

[sage prawn]

bro WHAT are esoteric symbols 😭

[lilac zinc]

if name == creaco then
hack game
end

[sage prawn]

yo

[native quest]

bro's vocabulary is limited

[sage prawn]

that could work

[lilac zinc]

it rlly could..... i should try it

[halcyon jetty]

if true then
giverobux(me, 9999999)
end

[lilac zinc]

WHAAT

[sage prawn]

BROOO I COULD GET ROBUX AND MONEY

[native quest]

im testing that one rn

it works

[lilac zinc]

IT RLY COULD WOKR

[halcyon jetty]

it works

[native quest]

im rich now

[sage prawn]

BRO FR

[native quest]

just converted it to usd, i got 1 billion dollars

[sage prawn]

WHAT I NEED TO TRY THTA

[lilac zinc]

Omg wtf it got rid of all my connections

I'm disconnected

[native quest]

small price to pay

[lilac zinc]

it was fun while it lasted, please continue the oop legacy

[halcyon jetty]

[lilac zinc]

Also yes that resource is good

I read it so many times

[halcyon jetty]

hax

[native quest]

i read it in 1 nanosecond and understood everything

[halcyon jetty]

ok i think i understand oop now im gonna make a soulless cash grab

jk

or am i

[echo meteor]

is profilestore still a valid way of saving player data

[lilac zinc]

Yes absolutely

[native quest]

ngl i hate how its called OOP. like bro it isn't anything special and you probably shouldn't be using it all the time for everything.

[lilac zinc]

call it metatable magic call it oop call it disgusting

Do whatever, fly high

[native quest]

i just call it hax

[echo meteor]

does the tutorial provided on the devforum cover like a valid use of it or have there been better ways to find out how to use it

[lilac zinc]

You will find very heated topics on oop from oop lovers and oop haters (I’m an oop lover)

[lilac zinc]

I think loleris has a website that shows more examples

https://madstudioroblox.github.io/ProfileStore/

[native quest]

i mean, its essentially just being able to store a module script inside of a module script, since a module script is a table, but a table isnt a module script, error- error- invalid output data -emergency shut-down commencing.

anyways who cares

[lilac zinc]

Mad studio is a very reputable group, they have made a lot of hit games, one of the most popular back then, loleris knows what he’s doing and his modules are known to be useful, so I highly encourage you to use his profilestore module and take the time to learn it even if it seems vague

[sage prawn]

how do i use module scripts

MANGO 67 STILL WATER

[lilac zinc]

It’s like storing a table in a table yes but it’s automated

[sage prawn]

amongus

[native quest]

first you cook the module on low heat, let it simmer, then you start adding the code noodles, if you dont pay attention they might dissolve.

[lilac zinc]

It’s like doing
return table1[key] or table2[key]
(Insane simplification do not take as an example)

[echo meteor]

yeah i followed a tutorial for leaderstats and data interface by rileyytes and ive just been experimenting with it but i was wondering if people who actually understood the main module itself know how to use it better or more efficiently

[sage prawn]

¡Aa

[native quest]

breh

[lilac zinc]

More efficiently how?

[echo meteor]

not sure.. just like people who actually know what theyre reading from the module and not just following the tutorial posted on it

[halcyon jetty]

add stuff to ur module script and then in a normal script do local module = require(game.ServerScriptService.ModuleName) and you have the module that u can get info from

[sage prawn]

so if i use a server script and refer to a table that is in a module script i would get info from the module script?

[native quest]

i use massive ammounts of types but barely use metatables, maybe its cause of the type of game im making

[halcyon jetty]

in the script i said module is now the value inside the modulescript

modulescripts return one value

usually a table

[native quest]

ok nvm i do use lots of meta tables i guess

jeez

[halcyon jetty]

oop people is this meta

[lilac zinc]

ProfileStore works by caching what’s known as a profile onto the server memory to avoid calling data store endpoints all the time to update keys, and it smartly handles the update as soon as the player leaves (or autosave)

ProfileStore has what’s known as a template, if the user is new they will be given this template as default data

You can lock what’s known as a session, preventing issues like multiple servers trying to overwrite data (which can happen if a server crashes)

And you can EndSession once you’re done with the player (typically you don’t need to do that the module does it for you)

There’s other methods but those are the main ones

If you need help with something specific about ProfileStore you should send code or ask

[echo meteor]

yeah i understand that much from the video, just curious of how larger scale games would make use of it

[hoary cedar]

The code is infamously bloated and difficult to read

[echo meteor]

yeah i had no idea what i was looking at

😭

[lilac zinc]

Perhaps profile service but profile store is pretty good

[hoary cedar]

Larger games almost always homebrew

[echo meteor]

what does that mean..

[lilac zinc]

(Just so you know, grow a garden uses profile store)

[echo meteor]

oh nice

[wind topaz]

is there any module like saving player states ingame? like

player1 = {
fishing = true,
otheraction = false,
}

[hoary cedar]

That game is not "large"

It's just popular

[lilac zinc]

That doesn’t mean anything, the main concerns about data store is not how much data you can store it’s the api request limits

[echo meteor]

are you referring more to games that have larger aspects of data to save like inventory, stats, progression, etc

[lilac zinc]

Almost nobody hits that data store data capacity lol

[hoary cedar]

I'm referring to large codebases. These codebases have high throughput, which means sensitive requirements

This often requires specific and elementary design

[hollow hemlock]

large can have multiple meanings

large does not have to mean the codebase is large

it can also mean a thing is extremely popular

[echo meteor]

that takes a long amount of experience to know how to make yourself right

[lilac zinc]

I don’t really see how having a large codebase has any relevance to anything about a data store wrapper

[hoary cedar]

Not at all

What ProfileService does at its core is not complicated

The complicated part is its list of services. It's designed to provide several data-persistence operations in a lightweight manner

[lean ocean]

Dead rails also uses profilestore

[hoary cedar]

This means bulkware and abstraction

For what it is, most of its features go unused by its end users

[echo meteor]

hm alright

thanks 🙏

[marsh kelp]

I dont think this is a big game too

[lean ocean]

yes I'm just saying

[hollow hemlock]

dead rails is a big game in terms of popularity

[lean ocean]

Dead rails is very simple

[hollow hemlock]

doesnt matter

[severe cobalt]

use attributes on the character model https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting/attributes

[lilac zinc]

What does the size of the game have in any relevance to data storage, it’s all about the API request limits, it just proves that games with a lot of concurrent players, do not throttle the data store

That’s the entire argument

[hollow hemlock]

good thing initially it started about gag being large in popularity

[severe cobalt]

profilestore is probably my favorite module out of all the community resources

[hollow hemlock]

i don't really follow why people would use profilestore over lyra

[lilac zinc]

It is absolutely worth learning

[hollow hemlock]

despite profilestore being newer, it doesnt solve any interesting problems

[lilac zinc]

DataStore2 was such a pain 😭 I’m so glad for profilestore

[hollow hemlock]

.datastore2 has been discontinued and discouraged for ages

[lilac zinc]

Yeah I’m an old school dev I’ve been through it

[echo meteor]

what type of problems..

[hollow hemlock]

sometimes, data can be larger than the 4 megabytes roblox gives for each key. profilestore does not handle that

[marsh kelp]

I'm curious as well... Saw many ppl recommending it here

[hollow hemlock]

it's kind of a niche use case, but sharding would be incredibly useful for games where players can roll a significant amount of stuff or are able to build

[marsh kelp]

But is it battle tested like ProfileS?

[hollow hemlock]

furthermore, transactions are incredibly useful for trading and would eliminate crash bugs from causing dupe glitches

[wind topaz]

damn dont know about this, thankyou

[hollow hemlock]

it's used in TDS

[lilac zinc]

(Going above 4 MB can happen in, for example, building games where you need to save lots of properties)

But in most cases you won’t hit that limit

[marsh kelp]

I only heard about it a week ago, and it seemed... Kinda new

[hollow hemlock]

it existed for the past couple months]

and is maintained by paradoxuum games

[severe cobalt]

I stick to PS due to it being more mature than Lyra, but Lyras transactions and auto sharding are nice features.. problem I have with Lyra is its still considered early development

[marsh kelp]

TDS is?

[hollow hemlock]

just link line https:// ?

[brittle hinge]

any scripter here interested in joining a game studio of 7 people currently?

[fading nimbus]

i need a j*b 😔😔

[west hamlet]

http request is an online request done by roblox studio to load your saved game from roblox to roblox studio, if you have it turned off that means a part or the game itself has turned off http requests and because some laws, roblox allows you to turn it off.

so just follow the instructions

[brittle hinge]

can you script?

like dyk how to

[fading nimbus]

barely

[brittle hinge]

alr

[fading nimbus]

i gotta learn

people said its simple those guys are liars

[west hamlet]

@timber bone this means that roblox cant load a part of the game (usually models from the store) or the game to load it into your client (roblox studio) this is related to some system design

[brittle hinge]

any scripter here interested in joining a game studio of 7?

[edgy venture]

in theory would this work as a "banned users" scripts? obviously theres way better ways to do it, just asking.

local player = game.Players:WaitForChild("user")

if player then
player:Kick("You are banned bro")
end

[west hamlet]

this would kick everyone

[edgy venture]

why?

[west hamlet]

once a player joins then he gets kicked

[edgy venture]

really?

[west hamlet]

the player named "user" will be kicked

[edgy venture]

well yeah every time they join

so technically this could be a really dumb way to ban someone right?

[west hamlet]

yes

just use a list of banned users

then iterate

[edgy venture]

yeah ik

[chilly canyon]

You could use this awesome ban method implemented by Roblox
https://create.roblox.com/docs/en-us/reference/engine/classes/Players#BanAsync

[edgy venture]

ik, and i use that a lot, i was just curious

[chilly canyon]

Curious of what

[burnt fossil]

let us discuss thy code!

[severe cobalt]

that would kick every player that joins no matter what, so you couuulllddd use it

but id just stick with banasync

mostly cuz roblox tries to detects alts

[edgy venture]

explain why, and also obviously i wouldnt use this in an actual game i was just curious if it would work since i never saw anyone do it like that

[severe cobalt]

Rojo is surprisingly easy

[severe cobalt]

ive used rojo in the past but just sticked with roblox script editor. VSCode's plugins for code suggestions with luau just feel finnicky, I would get odd behavior every now and then.

[hexed forge]

[pine chasm]

agreed the code completion is not the same as roblox editor, and I cba to get used to it

[severe cobalt]

thats what I used but never got used to it

[hexed forge]

I mean it gets better if youre used to it

Btw shoutout to me for using AI for the json code format

[severe cobalt]

I just like roblox's code completion better

I still use rojo for git functions, but I dont actively use vscode with it.

[azure granite]

does setting a table to nil with threads inside it cancel the threads

[hexed forge]

AAAAAA

[pine chasm]

no

[severe cobalt]

I.. hmmm

I guess first question is why are you trying to cancel threads on the outside rather than in-scope?

[azure granite]

grow a garden type game

[pine chasm]

?

[severe cobalt]

that doesnt really answer my question

[pine chasm]

how

[azure granite]

how would i cancel thread in scope at any time i want

[severe cobalt]

you'd use a conditional..? Threads end when the task inside ends. If you use a while loop for example, you either break out of it or set its conditional to false

[static coral]

task.cancel/coroutine.close

[azure granite]

im using task delay i meant cancel it whenever i want

[severe cobalt]

task.cancel

itll cancel as long as the delay isnt actively executing

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/libraries/task#cancel

even an example in the docs

[static coral]

[azure granite]

ok im using it actually i just wanted to ask if setting table to nil would cancel it but my question was already answered ig

[smoky dagger]

can you not have buffers as keys in a dict?

[hollow meadow]

could someone help me make a simple screenshake function inside a local script

[timber bone]

So today I realised that maybe plugins can be useful, which do yall recommend?

[static coral]

plugins for what?

what do you do in studio

like script, build, etc?

[timber bone]

atm obby

[static coral]

search youtube tutorial

[timber bone]

Just want to know what I should use for specific things

[hollow meadow]

i've made a function but it doesnt work and i dont get why

[static coral]

for building - atmos (not really essential), f3x, gapfill, archimedes, sun drag
for scripting - only one i can think of is rojo maybe but its also not really essential

[timber bone]

Any for gui?

[azure granite]

these are op

[static coral]

autoscale lite is all ik (all i use for ui too)

[azure granite]

autoscale lite feels pointless

af

does it do ui apsect ratio constraint

[timber bone]

👍

[static coral]

it just saves you some time with conversion from offset to scale and vice versa and also saves u time by doing aspect ratio constraints calculations for u

[timber bone]

I have a part in my world and I cannot delete it

Anyone have any idea

guys what frameworks best for like

big games?

that could use alot of remotes

[fair copper]

its kind of outdated but it works

[void bay]

Do you have better alternative?

[fair copper]

💀

[fair copper]

try Net

or packet module

by suphi kaner

[void bay]

huh

[fair copper]

although its a bit more complex but thats tailored for roblox ig

[void bay]

Yeah it's great

it has many options

But it's more like remote modules rather than framework if I'm not wrong?

[fair copper]

i mean thats what frameworks serve anyway

modular and fast?

optimization?

what is signal i see it in a lot of modules

[fair copper]

packet module specifically uses binary for low bit communication

so its like good for games / big games in theory

[azure granite]

so is it just like remote event and bindalbe event but more optimised

[fair copper]

its just remote event

and modules

with optimized communication

cuz usually when u do lots of remotes?

its slow

[void bay]

What knit does?

[fair copper]

apparently

[fair copper]

im amateur but basically it simplifies sending data between client n servers

[void bay]

What's the different between Suphi's?

[fair copper]

i think suphi's module relies on converting ur events to binary

bits

just check his tut

[void bay]

Yeah I know Suphi's one, but never use KNIT

[fair copper]

i spent some good hours taking his module apart

[void bay]

I want a comparasion

[fair copper]

for knit on roblox

[azure granite]

playerProfileStore.OnSessionEnd:Connect(function()
local celestialBodiesData = CelestialBodiesManager.GetAll(player)
playerProfileStore.Data.Plot = celestialBodiesData.Plot

     playerProfileStore:Save()
     
     
    CelestialBodiesManager.RemovePlayer(player)
end)

do i need the save()?

[void bay]

Isnt profile store automatically save the data when session ended?

[fair copper]

knit is lightwork

any normal dev with a bit of knowledge about frameworks can just

make a knit and not know about it

lolol

[azure granite]

i think but i saw on documentation onsessionend which says it will change data before last save.
and i kinda need that

[rich gust]

i knew it 🙂

[rich gust]

um? what tyle of game

type*

[fair copper]

rpg

with pve and pvp

[rich gust]

u experienced or na?

[fair copper]

idk

[rich gust]

Knit

[fair copper]

i am maybe

[cloud meadow]

How can I make this like where the coins are in the middle then goes to that position tween idk

[rich gust]

^ ill take it as maybe, use knit.

[fair copper]

my friend said knit was outdate

outdated

does it really matter if it works?

lolll

[rich gust]

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local coin = script.Parent -- e.g. the coin ImageLabel
local target = coin.Parent:WaitForChild("CoinTarget") -- the UI where it should go

-- Start the coin in the middle of the screen
coin.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0.5, 0.5)
coin.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0)

-- Wait a short time before tweening
wait(0.2)

-- Tween to target position
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
0.5, -- Time
Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,
Enum.EasingDirection.Out
)

local tweenGoal = {
Position = target.Position
}

local tween = TweenService:Create(coin, tweenInfo, tweenGoal)
tween:Play()

Local script

Start in the center of the screen
Tween smoothly to a target position (like a shop icon, counter, or UI corner)

[rich gust]

u want the custom 1 and it honestly doesn’t matter for framewrks

Combat Frameworks

Rodux + Roact

Avoid deprecated things like BodyVelocity, use LinearVelocity and VectorForce

Guys for soundeffects like id where can I check for what sound it is

[wide falcon]

[young rock]

How do i preload animations exactly? ive tried a few ways but couldnt get it working

[simple epoch]

did i cook

[lament thistle]

Anything.

[pine chasm]

LoadAnimation

[fast radish]

starting my scripting journey anything to recommend

[lament thistle]

No.

[simple epoch]

why

and dont say .touched ik how to use getpartsinpart i was just lazy

[lament thistle]

Felt like it 🤷

[simple epoch]

alright

[pine chasm]

what's wrong with .Touched

[young rock]

uh

[foggy plinth]

it doesnt check if they exist before doing something on them

[simple epoch]

they = who?

[foggy plinth]

chr rootPart hitbox hum ( i mean its not neccesary but )

[simple epoch]

i mean why would i check if they exist like

the code is gonna stop even if i dont check

just in a different way

[foggy plinth]

i mean in a situation the chr or others can become nil and the code wouldnt work

[pine chasm]

if it stops in a live game, u lose players

[simple epoch]

well yeah but its all server side so its not gonna dissapear

[rich gust]

what are you needing?

[young rock]

theres a slight delay when i play the animation for the first time

[foggy plinth]

i mean you wouldnt need them but it doesnt hurt to have them yk

[pine chasm]

yeah ur right, the only time it can stop is the 3 seconds when a player's character does not exist before respawn

[simple epoch]

can you even use a tool in that time

[rich gust]

Use ContentProvider:PreloadAsync() before the animation is ever played

and i would do multiple if you arnt makes it less laggy

[foggy plinth]

the checks are more about code quality and error handling

[young rock]

i tried doing that

[pine chasm]

yeah the remote can still fire I think, some tools won't have the check for player.Character

[simple epoch]

damn

iil just add a check then

[young rock]

@rich gust i think it has something to do with the parenting

[simple epoch]

if not chr then return end

[young rock]

like i parent the model to replicated storage before everything

[rich gust]

it could have a lot. let me see 1 sec

[young rock]

then load the animations

and parent the model to the camera before playing the animation

wait

[rich gust]

If it’s not parented, PreloadAsync() silently fails or does nothing.

[young rock]

that line at the top is rs

not workspace

[rich gust]

ReplicatedStorage
👇

[young rock]

forgot to change it back

[rich gust]

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.Name = "MyAnim"
anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://123456789"
anim.Parent = ReplicatedStorage

[young rock]

OH

wait

i think i forgot to parent the animation

instance

no its inside rs

[rich gust]

correct

[rich gust]

oh?!!?!?

fr?

[young rock]

the animations folder is inside rs

[rich gust]

rep storage and preloadsync?

local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({animation}, function(assetId, status)
print("Preloaded:", assetId, "Status:", status)
end)

use this to make sure^

rep storage

[foggy plinth]

idk if you need to add this or if you already did but..

anim.Parent = ReplicatedStorage

[young rock]

theyre already inside rs

cant i preload instances that are in replicated storage?

[rich gust]

well

Creating the AnimationTrack with LoadAnimation() might cause a frame of delay the first time

i would just make sure its not delayed or to early

[hollow wind]

what do you guys think about this random city generator i made by accident

[rich gust]

spiderman, typa game

[hollow wind]

i made it by accident while tryna do cliffs 😭

[young rock]

yes but i dont load them just before i play them

[pine chasm]

What i do is have a promise

and it waits until AnimationTrack.Length > 0 (meaning its loaded) before it returns the animation track

[young rock]

the create function loads the animations

[rich gust]

Even if you PreloadAsync() the animation asset, the AnimationTrack must still be created using LoadAnimation() or Animator:LoadAnimation(). That first call creates internal state, which can cause a frame or two of delay on first use.

[young rock]

is there any problem here?

[young rock]

yes but when i print .length it gives the full length

not 0

[pine chasm]

wait until length > 0 before returning the animation track

in ur Module.Load method

[foggy plinth]

try adding ts

local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
ContentProvider:PreloadAsync(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Animation:GetChildren())

[young rock]

didnt work

[young rock]

lemme see

[young rock]

doesnt work

let me send the full cod

not full but

[foggy plinth]

can you try preloading the specific animations that are in GunInfos[Name].Animations for each gun?

[young rock]

function Module:Create(Name)
    if Model then Module:Unequip() end

    Info = GunInfos[Name]

    Model = Info.ViewModel:Clone()
    Bullets = Info.MaxBullets
    CFrames = {}
    Animations = {}
    
    Model.Parent = ReplicatedStorage

    local Animator = Model.Humanoid.Animator
    for _, Animation in Info.Animations do
        Animations[Animation.Name] = AnimationHandler.Load(Model, Animation)
    end
end

function Module:Equip()
    if Equipping or Equipped or not Model then return end
    
    Equipped = true
    Equipping = true
    
    Model.Parent = Camera
    if Animations.Equip then
        Animations.Equip:Play(0)
        Animations.Equip.Stopped:Wait()
    end
    Equipping = false
end

function Module.Load(Model, Animation)
    local Animator = Model.Humanoid and Model.Humanoid.Animator
    if not Animator then return end
    
    game.ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({Animation})
    local Track = Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation)
    repeat task.wait() until Track.Length > 0
    return Track
end

[young rock]

game.ContentProvider:PreloadAsync(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.GunInfos.Pistol.Animations:GetChildren())

did this

doesnt work

[rich gust]

Potential Nil Error in Create() Function

AnimationHandler.Load() Can Return nil

[young rock]

it wouldnt play the animation at all in that case

[rich gust]

Create a function

[foggy plinth]

uhm.. those who know try adding game.ContentProvider:PreloadAsync(Info.Animations) and remove game.ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({Animation})

[rich gust]

function Module:Create(Name)
if Model then Module:Unequip() end

Info = GunInfos[Name]

Model = Info.ViewModel:Clone()
Bullets = Info.MaxBullets
CFrames = {}
Animations = {}

Model.Parent = ReplicatedStorage

local Animator = Model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and Model.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator")
if not Animator then return end

for _, Animation in Info.Animations do
    local Track = AnimationHandler.Load(Model, Animation)
    if Track then
        Animations[Animation.Name] = Track
    end
end

end

[azure granite]

do i use renderstepped or heartbeat or stepped for guis

[foggy plinth]

renderstepped and heartbeat can be both used but mostly rennderstepped is better ( for normal use cases)

[young rock]

yes it can but what would go wrong

Animations[Animation.Name] = nil

[pine chasm]

u might be stuck with this problem ngl

atp just try restarting studio or something 💀

[young rock]

been trying to fix this for the last 3 days

ong

[fringe urchin]

uh how do i start learning scripting?
i heard lua is a good starting language so i wanna start with it

[foggy plinth]

you learn it like any other thing

i think

i prefer youtube tutorials basics over anything tho

[fringe urchin]

how do i learn any other thing

ye like what tuts

[young rock]

maybe i shouldnt use replicatedstorage to "hide" the viewmodel

what else can i do?

transparency maybe?

[foggy plinth]

the tutorials... where.. you search roblox scripting tutorial

[fringe urchin]

i feel like most of them suck except a few idk

like how did u start

[pine chasm]

I used roblox docs and articles for everything

im not a youtube tutorial learner

[fringe urchin]

im the opposite i hate reading

[foggy plinth]

same

[somber vault]

#rodevs format lol

[fringe urchin]

uh chatgpt said thedevking is like the best so ig ill follow him ty

since even here yall recommend him

[somber vault]

👍

[somber vault]

His pretty good I used his videos

[fringe urchin]

cool hopefully i dont get lazy and stop learning

[foggy plinth]

[wary vigil]

Wake up want opinions on my syntax highlighting

[young rock]

👍/10

[wary vigil]

I take that as good colors then

[young rock]

kinda

[wary vigil]

Opinions on colors I should change ?

[young rock]

the yellow looks odd

[wary vigil]

[quasi grotto]

how

[pine chasm]

Set Character.Archivable = true before cloning

Usually, this is false for the player's character.
Archivable declares whether the instance can be cloned or not

[pine chasm]

^

[keen zephyr]

yo if u wanted to create rain

would u need to have multiple parts in the sky that continue to fall and fall

using instance.new() ?

[pine chasm]

not parts, but textures are better for that

[keen zephyr]

alright

can u create a texture with instance.new() ?

[pine chasm]

yes

[keen zephyr]

alr cool thanks

[honest nimbus]

Hey, im having a little trouble with my chase ai for a npc. I need it to recalculate the path to the player constantly if in range (which works fine) however because im using a for loop to move the humanoid to the next waypoint of the path, it doesnt follow the new path?

If i were to use humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait() it works but needs to complete a full path before it starts a new one.

I need some help fixing this please.

The visualiser shows the new path being computed

and ive just realised i wrote this in the wrong channel

[quasi grotto]

knit?

we still knitting?!

[fair copper]

bruh im amateur 🙏

also its like rpg i just found it easier to use knit than the packet module library with low level logic

[quasi grotto]

knit got depc though

not depc

or is this private

do you guys wanna be my best connection

i know what output is bro, but i dont know how to get a message in the output for this specific purpose. i have dozens of long scripts, dont rlly want to weed through all of them so i came here to ask for an easier solution

[rich gust]

any1 wanna help with my discord server or my group shorts ( group shorts cost 10 rbx ) please lmk

[main dagger]

doesnt print anything

artifactClone just disappears

after a few seconds

[rich gust]

let me get your errors raw

[main dagger]

did i use debug.traceback() wrong?

[rich gust]

ill help

[main dagger]

tysm bro

[rich gust]

yea man simple fix nws

[main dagger]

silent errors. they appear in the workspace correctly for 2-3 secs, then get destroyed by some script

[rich gust]

okay okay

error display system, like a server/client script creating a temporary part, BillboardGui, or Message/Hint object to show errors without using warn() or print()
i would check for that and stuff and lmk if its a part gui or message or a hint or smth

[unreal dust]

Does anyone know a way to invert players controls? Like for example you press w and it moves you backwards. Or do i need to record the movement system?

[rich gust]

Select the object that appears (during the 2–3 seconds).
Right-click >Find All Scripts Referencing This Object.
This will show any script that might be destroying the message or object.

[main dagger]

bet. i will do that

[rich gust]

u can use scripts

[rich gust]

🙂

[main dagger]

hoepfully i can be fast enough for the 2-3 seconds

brb

[unreal dust]

I fucking know i need to use them i was asking for a way?

[rich gust]

Use a LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts
Every frame, reverse the Humanoid.MoveDirection using a custom velocity

[rich gust]

script

[unreal dust]

I will try that

Or some variaation

[main dagger]

cant seem to find that option when right clicking. i recorded this clip showing the objects disappearing though. any ideas?

[glad apex]

local rightArm = workspace.NPCs.rizzlers["rizzler 1"]["Left Arm"] 
local slash = workspace.Slash 
print(slash.Position - rightArm.Position) 
workspace.Slash.CFrame = CFrame.new(-0.182, -0.42, -0.78) * rightArm.CFrame 


slash.Orientation = Vector3.new(-28.1, 1, -119.9)

how do i make this slash.orientation relative toa rightarm so rn its fixed but i want if a part rotates up i want it to rotate up just as much as it rotated

and i dont wanna detect when the part moves and subtract positions

[fossil bone]

try using ContextActionService ive used it to remove controls so you coud probably swap them

[unreal dust]

Oh, you can do that?

I will try that too

[fossil bone]

yeah it works like a linked list so the most recent action you bind becomes priority

[unreal dust]

Alr

[main dagger]

nothing like that in my game rn. no one else is making the game with me, just myself

[rich gust]

what is it that’s disappearing

[main dagger]

all the tool clones. e.g. GreenLeaf, MossyRock, DoubleOrangeMushroom (seen in the clip/video)

[rich gust]

send me your tool’s script or the relevant part of your Roblox Studio script, I can fix the cloning issue

[main dagger]

sounds good, thx bro. ill add a couple --comments on it to help explain the script

ill dm it to u? if that works?

[rich gust]

thanks

[main dagger]

btw thx for all ur help

[rich gust]

perfect

ofc

[cloud meadow]

How do I create a menu like this with tweens and stuff pls help

HI

[teal vortex]

Yo I got a question, how to you guys convert a mouse position to a 3d point in the world, do you use mouse.hit.position, or UserInputService:GetMousePosition, and convert those 2d coordinates into 3-d coordinates

[coarse wraith]

mouse.hit.position returns a vector3 value

UserInputService:GetMouseLocation returns a vector2 value

vector2 is 2d

vector3 is 3d

i mean did u use easing style cubic, easing direction inout

[peak jolt]

try just not moving it with the script at all and only animating it

might have to adjust the camera script for it not to look weird

[fair copper]

the camera is actually isometric

i just disabled it for this vid

this is what it looks like

[fair copper]

this bro is timed out for 12 hours

💀

[fossil bone]

i think i agree either lessen the time between being in the air and falling to the ground or tween your camera to make it more smooth than jittery

[fair copper]

actually i just figured something out

[peak oak]

im creating a new language called NOVA

[fair copper]

i was using 2 tweens for going up n going down

but i could use 1 tween

and calculate the character's position alongside a parabola

[fossil bone]

are you using the animation editor or stragiht hardcoding it?

[fair copper]

should i rely on animation?

i dont prefer

because im using packet modules to really break down data into binary packets to communicate i dont think i need to be too lenient when its just movement from combat do i

or do i

idk

lemme just try wtv

[fossil bone]

eh im just being a common procedure guy and saying most prefer animation editor since its much easier to animate what you visualize

[fair copper]

yeah true

but this is running on client so its fine

lolol

and i can update position to server if i want

if i do it this way

[fossil bone]

fairs

you can also add key events in your animation to listen to

[fair copper]

yeaah considerable

[thin mist]

Trying to do a simple table.find script for a dictionary but it doesn’t seem to work with it no matter what I try anyone know why?

[fossil bone]

you got a screenshot?

[fair copper]

@rich gust got timed out for 12 hours but u can dm him for help 💯

[thin mist]

rlly simple

but it wont work

[fossil bone]

ah table.find is designed for array tables not keys with strings

cuz it goes left to right for however long the arary is

i think its just better to iterate with a for loop

[lean ocean]

yea u would have to do list["burger"]

[wind topaz]

is there any fishing mechanics for throwing bobber instead of using body velocity?

[lean ocean]

if list["burger"] then end

[fossil bone]

linear velocity?

[wind topaz]

like i dont want the bobber moving on water so when bober hit water it stay, velocity making the bobber always wiggly. but i dont want to be anchored

[fossil bone]

detect when it hits the water and set its velocity to zero?

[wind topaz]

no it doesnt work, i already destroy the velocity

bobber still wiggly on water terrain

might be calculated the water pos and using tween. but i dont get it why its so smooth

[fossil bone]

dm @rich gust hes more knowledgable than me

[thin mist]

it said "Workspace.Script:25: Expected identifier when parsing expression, got '['"

[lean ocean]

show

[thin mist]

nvm

[hybrid talon]

hey guys can anybody give me tips for my first code im new to this dev thing/scripting

[west hamlet]

how do you iterate through a list?

and print every item of the list

[true tree]

oo premiuum trial

[manic nacelle]

[tranquil tide]

is task.spawn can play 2 while true do loop at the same time

[severe cobalt]

no

you have to do 2 instances of task.spawn, 2 while loops wont work in the same scope

[tranquil tide]

no like

if i do a while true do loop without task spawn
and i do a loop inside task spawn

the loop can play at the same time?

[solemn echo]

what do people think the best portfolio type is?

[severe cobalt]

yes, as long as the task.spawn was called before the while loop thats outside the spawn.

while yields the current context, coroutine adds another context.. therefore not yielding.

Just ensure to use task.wait(), else studio will crash

[tranquil tide]

ok ty

also i made a script to make a npc walk to a waypoint in a look and i want that when i punch him he instantly stop and look atme

but it wait for the loop to finish before him to stop

so idk how to do

[severe cobalt]

for npc walk cycles I recommend using RunService.PreSimulation as the loop so you can modify properties like velocity or forces prior to being applied.

For handling punching, you dont really need to use a while loop on task.spawn.. just do it in presimulation. When it detects a player punches it, you can cancel the move using MoveTo and setting the position to the npc's current position. You can then cframe the rotation.

As for walking, you should be using humanoid:MoveTo along with properties like speed. That way, runservice continously checks during the character moving.

[tranquil tide]

ok ty

[severe cobalt]

^ which speaking of, npcs characters should be using a Humanoid object

[tranquil tide]

stepped?

thanks mate

[severe cobalt]

stepped is being phased out in favor of PreSimulation, roblox says to use it instead

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/RunService#RenderStepped same with renderstepped

[tranquil tide]

@severe cobalt how to detect character in server script?

[placid matrix]

from events

[signal silo]

all these scripters for hire always offline

im tryna overp ay for simple stuff

[open surge]

Yo

What u need like somehting simple?

[kindred bolt]

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS

[kindred bolt]

im not hi

[rain nymph]

It’s in a separate tab at the top in studio

It’s really weird ngl

[pallid zodiac]

I have a question, how hard & long would it take to script a gun system (multiple different guns) with 1.5 yrs of Python programming and 0 luau experience 😭

[clever shuttle]

Find out bro. Go thru som tutorials

[pallid zodiac]

bet

ty

[thin mist]

Yo why do people use folders, is it just for organizing purposes?

[fresh lance]

Yea so you dont get a headache when you have lots of things in ur game and its very unorganized so u cant find anything

[midnight anchor]

https://medal.tv/games/roblox/clips/kJX5K6uCtJ7NTP-0f?invite=cr-MSxDRDMsMTY1ODk4OTE2

Its a simple take off/landing

you mainly move following the camera using right click to directional control

however the 4 arrows can also be used to move

mobile friendly

Is this hard todo? ive had 2 devs in 2 seperate commissions try this and fail

[rain nymph]

Is there a way to “get the most similar list” inside of a table? An example is say I have a table with [“a”, “b”, “c”] and there’s a catalog of other lists, but it doesn’t contain that but contains [“a”, “b”]. Is there an algorithm that can return the most similar list?

[sudden estuary]

not sure if theres some algorithm for that but you can construct your own logic let the similarity factor be length of interesection array / length of union array or something like that

[hollow fable]

https://gyazo.com/7a42cd67dd410001642553c4c30e15d3

scripting is easy

[sudden estuary]

good job

[hollow fable]

its a bug LMAO

[wild kayak]

I can help anyone with scripting for 50rbx

[fresh lance]

If u make me all of deepwoken scripts ill give 50 rbx

[wild kayak]

Ok which scripts you need not to much only few cuzz 50rbx is to low

Like 5-6 system

[fresh lance]

Bro why are you considering 5-6 systems for 50 robux 💔

Value urself higher

Also post in #scripter-hirable to get commissions

[wild kayak]

Ok

[wild kayak]

Can i get the work

[fresh lance]

I was joking

I dont need help for anything

[tawny jacinth]

UI logic must be sound

[wild kayak]

Ok

[manic sundial]

free model scripts are some of the best programming in existence

[wild kayak]

Making any basic 2-3 system for 50 rbx

[keen hemlock]

Is making a custom npc controller without humanoids worth it

Cause I want to make a game that where I'd like to have lots of civilian npcs walking around and I've heard that humanoids take up a lot of performance

[wild kayak]

I can help you gocca

[wild kayak]

How much you can pay for this system i can help

[keen aspen]

yeah if you have a lot then you should probably have the npcs w/o humanoids

[keen hemlock]

No I'm tryna do it myself 😅 I was just asking if it's worth the trouble

[keen hemlock]

Alright seems like I'll be doing that then

[wild kayak]

Ok

Doin any kind of scripting per system 50rbx if the work is less it can be 30rbx

[fading ermine]

its not that hard to make a variable 😭🙏

[manic sundial]

no trust this is only the 1st one in this single sky free model

there were 4 others of the exact same type that just changed different variables

[fading ermine]

😭🙏

💔💔

[junior pier]

bro the updated script for gravity coil baffled me

i genuinely thought they obfuscated it w the amount of bloat it has for a simple coil

[violet folio]

Depends

[rain nymph]

I’ve heard it’s annoying if you don’t know what you’re doing but basically you make a table with essential attributes like health and other stuff you want your NPC to do and also make an animation for them

Animating them without humanoids is something I’ve never done so I can’t rlly help with that

[keen hemlock]

This shouldn't be a problem cause I can just use animation controller

Irs just the physics of the npc that seems like it's gonna be a pain

[pseudo girder]

not too good with roblox physics. Anyone know how I could make this boost pad consistent? It works but the boost is not consistent (probably because of momentum and stuff like that)

    CreateEntities()
    ApplyBoost()
end

function ApplyBoost()
    print("APPLYING")
    for id, part, velocity in world:query(Part, Velocity):iter() do
        print(id)
        part.Velocity = velocity
    end
end

function CreateEntities()
    for _, part in TaggedParts do
        local e = world:entity()
        world:set(e, Part, part)
        SetVelocity(e)
        print(part.Name)
    end
end

function SetVelocity(e)
    world:set(e, Velocity, Vector3.new(0, Utils.Random(100, 200), 0))
end```

PLEASE I NEED SOMEONES HELP! \I have an already made and working main menu / loadout system. However I am not a scripter so I have no idea how to make it work. How much would it cost me to hire someone to come set this menu up for us and add the loadouts?

I've been attempting to learn scripting for 3 months to try and figure this out but can't.

[pseudo girder]

did u use AI code

[trail bay]

Please, if your willing to help / get paid tell me the price just DM me

[trail bay]

Its a pre-made script. IDK how

[pseudo girder]

uh well I'm not good at main menus and loadouts

so

sorry

[trail bay]

Well Im asking anyone to help me

[pseudo girder]

make a lf post

[trail bay]

Where

[pseudo girder]

idk the command but in general just ask how do I make a hiring scripter post

[violet folio]

Physics aren’t hard

Unless you’re trying to build your own physics system

lol
