[somber vault]

Send a SS

I think Ik why

[proud kite]

I will dm you

[somber vault]

[scarlet light]

I need the best scripter in the world I have a question

[tired violet]

you have better luck getting an answer from god

[fair copper]

yooooooooooo i fixed it guys

[tired stag]

what hotbar

am i the only one who is not seeing a hotbar

[pseudo egret]

Can anyone tell me what this means? (red line)

[cold heron]

hey so im trying to make a command line tool just for myself to bulk upload assets using the roblox api. I want to use oauth2 for the increased rate limit. Has anyone else tried to do oauth for a command line / local tool? I know that they require a ssl cert for the redirect link so i don't think i can redirect to a local web server on the device or etc. any help would be appreciated. I could just make a quick website to allow for this but feels overkill just for my usage. Im basically selecting a subset of images automatically out like a list of 10k and want to upload those to studio.

[fallow gulch]

why are you redefining workspace when there's a global variable for it already?

[pseudo egret]

I hadn't seen it, I deleted it and I found the problem but thanks anyway

[pseudo egret]

[shut karma]

thanks bro

[half cypress]

Hello code monkeys. Let's team up for Jandel's 35k USD game jam

[teal yacht]

Does someone know how to verify(by script) if a server was migrated?

[iron oasis]

i guess people making enemy AI with guns dont use raycast they just have a chance to automatically damage the enemy they are facing? to save resources because its server sided ai? but then how do they do the bullet hole vfx wouldnt they have to raycast anyways..?

[rich gust]

i told you already man

Use TeleportService:TeleportAsync(placeId, players, teleportData)
Send {migrated = true} in the teleportData
Detect it on the new server using TeleportService:GetLocalPlayerTeleportData()

[rich gust]

usually not

[iron oasis]

wdym? what do they do? arent raycasts expensive

[rich gust]

Raycast just for
Bullet hole on wall
Tracer beam to look cool
Muzzle flash direction
Impact particles

just use scripting

own knowledge

Only raycast for VFX if a player is near enough to see the action

[iron oasis]

ight

[radiant cedar]

why cant i change the walk animation gang💔

how do i actually

[tender carbon]

how would yall make a vfx spin around the player for a skill lets say

what would u use

[rich gust]

a script called Animate (inside the StarterCharacter or StarterCharacterScripts) to control walk/run/jump animations.

[rich gust]

um i would say

Use a simple loop with RunService.RenderStepped or TweenService to orbit it

u can add to it also

if ever needed

[vivid abyss]

@rich gust how long have u been scripting for?

[rich gust]

2 yrs+

[tender carbon]

u got like

a template?

i need it for sumn

[rich gust]

wym

u want js a script to help you?

or what???

[bronze bane]

@rich gust Please stop showing toxicity. These people are new

[rich gust]

where?

[rich gust]

been nothing but nice and helping people… get thanked alllll the time.

thank you, mind your own buisness, showed nothing and i have a good reputation in discord in general, never been mean UNLESS they have started it first… i take things professional. thanks.

[bronze bane]

Just giving a warning

[rich gust]

💀

[bronze bane]

It's never okay to throw a punch

[rich gust]

Ok

[scenic lily]

yall how we can import roblox user avatar headshot to discord embed?

[rich gust]

GetUserThumbnailAsync returns a Roblox CDN URL

[scenic lily]

so how to import it?

[rich gust]

Getting the user's UserId
Using Roblox’s headshot thumbnail URL pattern
Passing that URL into a Discord embed (via bot or webhook)

[real zealot]

i have a question

do rarities work by doing math.random and a specific rarity being within a set of numbers, so out of 100, 50 of that being common, 40 of that being epic, and 10 of that being legendaries

as an example

[eternal kindle]

Is it better using an a* pathfinding than roblox pathfinding? roblox pathfinding gives so many problems

[tired stag]

yo

local RaritySystem = {}

RaritySystem.Rarities = {
{Name = "Common", Chance = 99},
{Name = "Uncommon", Chance = 0},
{Name = "Rare", Chance = 0},
{Name = "Epic", Chance = 0},
{Name = "Legendary", Chance = 1}
}

function RaritySystem:GetRandomRarity()
local totalWeight = 0
for _, rarity in pairs(self.Rarities) do
totalWeight += rarity.Chance
end

local roll = math.random(1, totalWeight)
local sum = 0

for _, rarity in pairs(self.Rarities) do
    sum += rarity.Chance
    if roll <= sum then
        return rarity.Name
    end
end

end

return RaritySystem
here is a module you can learn from

[tired stag]

and yes you were bassically right almost there

unless i dont understand something

[eternal kindle]

.

[radiant cedar]

i swear they changed the way to add new walk animation

it is not working

[ember quiver]

quick question

when i asked about learning how to code

people said "watch tutorials on youtube or smth like that"

now i did, but what these gave me is only basics, i still cant make a script

and when i try to learn how to make smth specific all the videos are "DOWNLOAD THIS MODEL"

so where do i go to learn actually making the script

[radiant cedar]

you go to my tiktok

@ember quiver my tiktok has many advanced scripting tutorials

[fringe whale]

you cant keep following tutorials, code a project that matches your skill level and actually reason your way through it

the only way u get better at ts is if u get uncomfortable

[fossil jolt]

An animator makes animations automatically replicate across clients right?

As long as it’s in the humanoid

[daring bloom]

yo im a 14 y/o builder and im looking for a scripter to just kinda be my partner u dont have to be really good u can be mid or kinda new and if we make a game that blows up u can get 75 % of the revenue hmu if u wanna talk

[fossil bone]

yes i ddint see humanoid part 😭

[wraith cairn]

i was the one that said that

i literally studied programming by my own and now i work on myself earning 5k$ a month

[fossil bone]

i recommend suphi kaner he has videos on complex scripts using what youve lerant

[elfin timber]

you do coms?

or own games

[wraith cairn]

no I am a full stack developer with knowledge of mostly required languages

its not about that I work on someone its about that I have creative ideas and then i turn them real

[fossil bone]

full time, self employed?

[wraith cairn]

yes

[fossil bone]

awesome

[wraith cairn]

currently applying on company

i mean they want me to apply

they called me

they are giving me 2k$ a month and in my country 2k$ a month is like 10k$ a month

[fossil bone]

wow i mean if the jobs good go for it

[wraith cairn]

yea full stack developer with mild knowledge of some languages where i am advanced

they want intermediate html dev while i am advanced

i have learnt everything by myself without any tutors mentors or anyone

its about if you like somthing you will do it no matter what

@fossil bone

[fringe whale]

bro js said "advanced html dev"

[fossil bone]

well you motivatd me to keep coding lol

[real zealot]

i have a question about displaying percentages

[fringe whale]

html is not advanced bro 😭

[wraith cairn]

do you know atleast like what are frameworks

[real zealot]

is it allowed to display the percentage of getting a specific rarity, then disdplay the percentage of getting that item under the percentage of rarity?

[fossil bone]

your too goated dude

[fringe whale]

react, vite

[wraith cairn]

yea most of the programmers use word "advanced in html" while they mean they know frameworks

it is not required to say "i know vite react tailwind" and shit

[fossil bone]

well whats not allowing you? roblox 🤣

[real zealot]

or do i have to display the percentage of getting every item

[real zealot]

yes

its in their rules to display percentages / odds for getting items in a luck based situation (from what i've seen)

[fossil bone]

well as long as your honest your golden i guess

[real zealot]

that's the thing

i'm unsure

[wraith cairn]

dont get me wrong

i dont even understand ur question

[real zealot]

let's say there's a 10% chance of getting a legendary odd, then it rolls inside of that odd for a specific weapon in that rarity caregory

[wraith cairn]

OOOOOOOH

i get it yea

[real zealot]

so you buy crate > roll for odds of rarity> then it rolls for the specific weapon

[wraith cairn]

yea so lets say theres odd for getting legendary sword then theres odd for getting leg axe spear or anything else right

[real zealot]

yea

[fossil bone]

so its a rare case rolling for a weapon not a weapon with a rare roll on it?

[wraith cairn]

yea i get it its easy to make

[real zealot]

its just 1 case

it has like a 10% chance for legendary, 30% for epic, and 60% for common rarity for example

[fringe whale]

say ur a react/vite frontend dev not "advanced in html"

like what bro

[real zealot]

after rolling for rarities, you roll for weapon

[wraith cairn]

actaully you're right about that lets not argue over that I am just workin on my English

[fossil bone]

i dont know about you if youve played all star tower defense x they have literal slots in their game i think cases are soo hard to get punished on every game atp has a case system murder mystery for example

[real zealot]

yeah but they don't roll for rarities first

im just doing this rarity system because the game i'm making has over 70 weapons

[wraith cairn]

local lootTable = { 
    Common = {
        chance = 50,
        items = {"Rusty Sword", "Old Bow", "Wooden Staff"}
    },
    Rare = {
        chance = 40,
        items = {"Silver Sword", "Magic Wand", "Iron Spear"}
    },
    Legendary = {
        chance = 10,
        items = {"Dragon Axe", "Phantom Spear", "Blade of Light"}
    }
}

local function getRarity()
    local roll = math.random(1, 100)
    local cumulative = 0
    for rarity, data in pairs(lootTable) do
        cumulative += data.chance
        if roll <= cumulative then
            return rarity
        end
    end
end

local function getItemFromRarity(rarity)
    local items = lootTable[rarity].items
    return items[math.random(1, #items)]
end

local function rollLoot()
    local rarity = getRarity()
    local item = getItemFromRarity(rarity)
    print("You got a [" .. rarity .. "] item: " .. item)
end

rollLoot()

[real zealot]

so i have to split it up, or just put 5-0.01% on each weapon

[real zealot]

i know how to code it

[wraith cairn]

its like a math basically

[fossil bone]

that is unorthodox but i think as long as the player knows what theyre buying ur good?

[real zealot]

its just i'm asking if it's allowed

[real zealot]

ok

[wraith cairn]

why it shouldnt be allowed?

[real zealot]

some regulations

idk

[wraith cairn]

there's NO regulations

on buyin gamepass

[fossil bone]

roblox opened the doors to child gambling fr

[wraith cairn]

only regulation is when pop up screen shows up are you sure to buy it

[real zealot]

oh

[wraith cairn]

after you click yes doenst matter

[real zealot]

i thought it was a set in place as a rule as due to some countries

[wraith cairn]

nop

theres no rules or anythin

theres even no refunds on gamepasses

or anything like that

[real zealot]

i'm probably just gonna split up the weapons throughout multiple cases then

[wraith cairn]

after you are sure to buy it then there's no return

[real zealot]

just to avoid the headache

[wraith cairn]

bro just do that it's way easier

get a common rare leg create

crate*

[real zealot]

yea

[fossil bone]

the only famous example is turkey banning roblox but that just means roblox is unwilling to set regulations

[wraith cairn]

bro its turkey who cares

[fossil bone]

hey thats prob a large playerbase 🤣

[wraith cairn]

who cares its turkey

https://tenor.com/view/turkey-gobble-gobble-gobble-bird-gif-7138627102098790530

[fossil bone]

damn bro i could be from turkey from all you know

😦

[real zealot]

it is in the tos

[fossil bone]

okay brother and are you going to let uers know the odd of acquiring eat item? yes okay 👍

[wraith cairn]

just make a question markk on buying gui and if you haver it says odds?

[real zealot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1040515890300588075/1377673371340242984/kMJqzCQV.gif

[real zealot]

sure

[fossil bone]

js hop in ltireally any roblox game and see how they d oit

[real zealot]

they usually have like 5-9 items per egg / case

[wraith cairn]

you sound like person depositing house and title says "NO RETURN"

It doesn't say about use of odds, so technically you can make crate 499$ for instance and then place a marker on hovering GUI saying Leg Sword odds ( sword quantity divided by 100% )

[fossil bone]

id love to see a game go in the hundreds 🤣 tbf black markets are already like that

[cinder basalt]

chatgpt ahh

[wraith cairn]

i am NOT going to write it on my own becuase of some random guy

[cinder basalt]

i dont expect u to

i just like saying chatgpt ahh

[wraith cairn]

bro fym chatgpt talk about rogueblox bein hard

[cinder basalt]

but either way i cant believe people still ask for code which chatgpt generates first try

[cinder basalt]

hwat

[wraith cairn]

basically friend of mine who works in a private market company who gets 50k a month

says thati always use chatgpt but only thing is

when you use chatgpt atleast understand the code it gives you

[cinder basalt]

if it works u dont have to

😎 👉

[gentle stag]

Battery smooth brain people

[ember quiver]

i already am making a project, the thing is, what made me freak out is that ai's code doesn't work if its complex, tutorials are just (use my model) and dev hub makes my heart go /_/________

its not even a hard project, its a tower of hell replica but a bit larger and with abilities

[ember quiver]

you werent the first

[rugged island]

[astral escarp]

i created the best roblox inventory recode to exist 😭

heres the code if someone wants it

[fossil bone]

why not just have no text for extra it would look so much better

hardcoding that is aweseome tho

[astral escarp]

they were just tools called "Extra" to make sure the inventory layout was working 😭

i get your point tho

[astral escarp]

tysm

the UI is jut a temp design to make sure the system is working

[fossil bone]

aah ok

[raven marsh]

[trim cobalt]

oops wrong chnale

[smoky dagger]

mine

dragging took forever to code

[indigo mulch]

I'm going to start a small and pretty simple roblox game. However I was wondering what's the best way to structure my scripts and stuff. Like what's the best way to keep my code organized? (Module scripts, folders, etc). Should I be using a lot of module scripts? lmk please !

[civic garnet]

depends

id have systems as their own modules

and folders are good for organization yes

[indigo mulch]

For data saving, I think devs use pre-made data saving modules and stuff. Should I do something like that?

[indigo mulch]

alright sounds good

[civic garnet]

profilestore

[smoky dagger]

lol i was aboaut to type profilestore

[indigo mulch]

alright thank you so much

been really helpful

[lilac zinc]

yes profilestore, i also agree

[real crown]

Sup kiddos

[indigo mulch]

do you guys also have any recomendations for youtubers who teach roblox scripting pretty well? like i know the basics but i want to refine my skills a bit more and learn more

[astral escarp]

profile store is the goat

[civic garnet]

brawldev

[astral escarp]

www

dragging part was hard i agree

[violet folio]

skidded

[astral escarp]

?

[uneven jolt]

Did anyone elses goodsignal just... stop working today?

oh wait no something else broke

what the hell

[astral escarp]

i updated the inventory recode to now be able to drag entrys into the inventory/hotbar also made them dispear when dragging

NOW its the best recode 😭

also added search bar

[steel sigil]

Is it possible to create 4 separate cabin rooms in one server, where each player can only hear the voice when they are in the same cabin?

[lost yoke]

probably

[steel sigil]

how ?

[lost yoke]

what exactly r u trying to do

u want to make a player hear a sound but the same sound if theyre in the same room?

[steel sigil]

What I see is that for someone who wants to create a private room like this, they create a room on the same server but in a far away place / teleport in that place

[steel sigil]

yap

[lost yoke]

yeah thats like

super easy?

theres a million ways to do it

u can have the sound play locally and use areas to track it

u can just put a sound block in the room and have it trail off b4 the other rooms

[frigid ridge]

bald

[frigid ridge]

are you talking about voice chat

[steel sigil]

example u can see there is 4 room / cabin in this picture , I want the voices of people inside the cabin to not be heard by people outside the zone I circled.

[steel sigil]

yes

[frigid ridge]

I'm pretty sure that isn't possible

what

[steel sigil]

so the solution if i want create voice chat privately in same server , i create like teleport place for the player move to other room far from other player ?

[frigid ridge]

ok so I do think there's a solution

[steel sigil]

this1 not work ?

[frigid ridge]

so the new api let's you set the distance of the voice chat

[lost yoke]

oh ur talking abt vc sounds

yeah idk i havent worked with vc at all

[frigid ridge]

you can customise that accordingly to fit in that room

scripting

[grand prairie]

is there anyone whose mildly good at scripting who might be able to help me out with something

[fair copper]

guys i got it

[grand prairie]

woah thats super cool whatt

[fair copper]

clean anims n binary communication stuff wohooo

[grand prairie]

good job !!

[fair copper]

yessirr

time to tune my parameters ngl

[grand prairie]

do you think you could help me with something small whenever youre done

[fair copper]

what is it

[grand prairie]

im trying to make a script that spawns a seat, and its like anchored to you so if you walk and bump into someone with the part then they sit on it and move around with the seat.

i got the seat to spawn, but the player is unable to sit on it and its really screwing with me and i dont know what im doing wrong

[fair copper]

show me ur heirarchy

scripts n objects whatever ur using

[grand prairie]

so its put in starterplayerscripts and the seat spawns in the workspace but is anchored to me. its not grouped with my player

[fair copper]

ah so its just 1 script?

[grand prairie]

when it spawns

[grand prairie]

yeah

[frigid hedge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1162470201833574493/1261851124239962202/attachment.gif

[fair copper]

hmmm

[gusty heron]

Does anyone know why the table is always empty despite waiting for the script that populates the items to fire its completion event if the table is empty at first? local AllItemBoosters = RequestItemStock:InvokeServer("Luck Boosters"); if AllItemBoosters == {} then AllItemBoosters = BoostersLoaded.OnClientEvent:Wait(); end; print("All Boosters: ", AllItemBoosters, #AllItemBoosters); for keyName : string, boosterStock : Booster in AllItemBoosters do --print(boosterStock) CreateItemEntry(keyName,boosterStock); end

[fair copper]

whats the state of ur seat's anchor

if its set to true players cant sit on it through ordinary means because roblox treats that as static

what happens when u try to sit?

[grand prairie]

wdym

oh

[fair copper]

AllItemBoosters == {} always goes to false

[grand prairie]

its true i think hold on

no its not anchored

[grand prairie]

well when i walk over to someone with this part then it just touches them and nothing happens

[fair copper]

instead of
if AllItemBoosters == {} then
it should be
if #AllItemBoosters == 0 then
or if next(AllItemBoosters) == nil then

but the 2nd one only for dictonaries ig

and uhh

[nova yarrow]

Vibe code everyday

[fair copper]

when u do if AllItemBoosters == {} then
it never meets the line
BoostersLoaded.OnClientEvent:Wait()

so ur script doesnt work

[nova yarrow]

Yea cause each table has their own id

[fair copper]

yeah

[grand prairie]

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

-- UI
local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
screenGui.Name = "SimpleButtonGui"
screenGui.ResetOnSpawn = false
screenGui.Parent = playerGui

local button = Instance.new("TextButton")
button.Size = UDim2.new(0, 120, 0, 40)
button.Position = UDim2.new(0, 20, 0.5, -20)

button.Parent = screenGui

    local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    local torso = character:FindFirstChild("Torso") or character:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso")

    if torso then
        local seat = Instance.new("Seat")
        seat.Size = Vector3.new(0.633, 0.508, 0.702)
        seat.Anchored = false
        seat.CanCollide = true 
        seat.CastShadow = true
        seat.Name = "WeldedSeat"
        seat.Parent = workspace

        local offset = CFrame.new(-0.1, -1.66, -1.1)
        seat.CFrame = torso.CFrame * offset

        local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
        weld.Part0 = seat
        weld.Part1 = torso
        weld.Parent = seat
    end
end)

[fair copper]

the better logic towards checking if ur table is empty or not, is just checking its content and size

[fair copper]

and u are missing the code that listens to the touch itself

[sudden estuary]

ask son

[fair copper]

add a .Touched event right after you created the seat

that should fix most of it ig

[gusty heron]

it didn't work, the items didn't populate the gui

[fair copper]

then theres problems with ur script.

other problems

i just told u what i see in ur snippet

troubleshoot it

find ur problems

[gusty heron]

it works in studio but not in gmae

[fair copper]

then theres a flaw in ur script's communication

instead of race conditions why dont u use a remoteevent?

[gusty heron]

It is a remoteevent

[glad apex]

local leftArm = workspace.NPCs.rizzlers["rizzler 1"]["Left Arm"] 
local slash = workspace.Slash 
print(slash.Position - leftArm.Position) 
workspace.Slash.CFrame = CFrame.new(-0.18299102783203125, -0.4225959777832031, -0.7848434448242188) * leftArm.CFrame 

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

how do i make it if the leftarm changes orientation the orientation of the slash is relative to it so its infront of it at a fixed angle

[fair copper]

hmmm

[gusty heron]

BoostersLoaded is a remoteevent that fires when the server script that defines the "Luck Booster" objects has finished defining and adding the objects to their table and returns the populated table

Even after the wait it still says the table is empty

It's there if the timing is bad and the serverinvoke ends up happening when the table isn't populated

[fair copper]

use remoteevent for both request and response

i dont know the context of ur script

and idk

[fair copper]

ur setting slash's cframe postion n rotation then immediately overwriting it with world orientation

lol

[glad apex]

because the rotation is wrong

the world orientation is what i want it to be

but if the player rotates the rotation isnt fixed

[fair copper]

yeah it fails because

slash.Orientation sets a fixed word orientation

[glad apex]

i know

im asking for any solutions like how would i make it like that

nobody has given me a correct way to implement what i want

[fair copper]

use a weld?

[glad apex]

doesnt work

slash doesnt move if the player moves

[fair copper]

hmmm

[fair copper]

is this slash part anchored

[glad apex]

im going to try to use toworldspace

[gusty heron]

I think it reaches the :Wait() to the remoteevent after the remoteevent is fired, which means the check occurs before the table fully populates and goes into the wait after it finishes

[fair copper]

stop mixing

invokeserver

with wait()

[gusty heron]

just use wait()?

[fair copper]

the standard approach is

using remoteevent for both

like
BoosterEvents.RequestBoosters:fireserver() on client
BoosterEvents.RequestBoosters.OnServerEvent:Connect(onBosterreq) on server

smthn like that

it uses 1 re

[gusty heron]

so a remote event that is fired and then fires back

[fair copper]

yeah same remote event dude

[gusty heron]

except it doesn't hold up the server like invoke does

[fair copper]

just have a remote event name it whatever

yeah

it just listens for calls

so it'll focus on ur call

its the standard approach

because theres no race condition on it

[gusty heron]

race condition?

[fair copper]

i hope u get the logic

[fair copper]

ur previous method

made it like a race for ur scripts

so - a race condition

Lmao

because here
the client is listening for the response before it even sends the request yk

so it works..

hope that helped byebye

[lost yoke]

task.wait()

Network.ApplyKnockback = Packet("S_ApplyKnockback",
Packet.Instance, -- The character part to apply knockback to (e.g., HumanoidRootPart)
Packet.Vector3F32, -- The direction of the knockback
Packet.NumberF32 -- The force of the knockback
)

really interesting way to replace remoteevents

hey i have a doubt i just made a script which gives the player(imposter) a knife at night and it works but when we click on the knife it duplicates (only 1 time not more) at day 1 knife disappears and 1 remains we have to click on it to make it disappear can anyone find the flaw

local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Help me

thanks droov

[fair copper]

creative way to approach that

i would just
if humanoid and not seat.Occupant then

seat:Sit(humanoid)
end

obviously that is subjective as well

well im running into an issue now doing it my way

i need a remote event now, to make someone sit?

No

u need a proper function

the event it uses is .Touched

Bruh help why is my r6 idle animation not playing when i start the game, look what i did, and tell me if i missed something,

I made the game to r6 only, i made an r6 idle animation and set the priority to idle, i published it and i copied the id

I copied the default animate script from the character then i pasted it inside starter character scripts, i changed the idle animation id from the explorer to my id, and i changed the script id too to my id, i changed the one with "weight 9"

But the problem is when i start the game, i look at the animation from the explorer and i see it reset the properties to the default anim id, but the script still has my anim id

Please help

(function (twerk)

               End

[real current]

I am pretty new to scripting, could anyone tell me why this doesn’t work?

[rapid verge]

what are you trying to do

[real current]

Function part animation using a server storage bool event

This is only the first part tho

[rapid verge]

👉 brawldev

[dusk iris]

read the underlined with red, text

[real current]

That means it’s working, that’s what a function does…

[solemn ridge]

first of all why is part.part = ("ServerStorage")

and pretty sure when you're doing a local function ur supposed to name the function

[dusk iris]

i forogt a comma

[solemn ridge]

are you trying to get serverstorage service without using

[real current]

Putting the animation of the part into server storage? Can’t you read

[dusk iris]

those do’s and thems have no place to be there

[solemn ridge]

:GetService

[real current]

It’s apart of the function and the part

Bro

[solemn ridge]

is the name of ur function do?

u gotta fix that br

[dusk iris]

isnt then only for if statements

[real current]

No it’s part

[solemn ridge]

wheres the animation lmao

[real current]

Do there because I’m telling the function to do the animation

[dusk iris]

have you watched a scripting tutorial

[real current]

In the part which is in server storage

[solemn ridge]

thats not how u play a animation

while waiting after a few second

[real current]

A couple of tutorials, I consider myself advanced

I just have no idea why this script won’t work

[dusk iris]

debatable

[solemn ridge]

lmao

[real current]

It’s true ask @wary star

[dusk iris]

well (“serverstorage”) shouldnt be anywhere in any script

[solemn ridge]

lmao

to get server storage do

[wary star]

?

[dusk iris]

change it to

game.ServerStorage

[real current]

It depends, you can use an animation for the script if you have a part

[solemn ridge]

local ServerStorage = game:Getservice("ServerStorage )
i think

[dusk iris]

❌

[real current]

But the problem is I’m using bool event from the Server storage part animation

[dusk iris]

i mean i dont even think we need serverstorage for this

[real current]

I mean look at games like grow a garden

They did that probably

[dusk iris]

youre becoming a undertale goner

[dusk iris]

you dont even know that

[real current]

You need the animation for that but I’m using server storage and I can’t find the part with the animation

[dusk iris]

wheredd you put the animationobject

[real current]

My code literally hacks their game I would know

[dusk iris]

can i see

[real current]

Not hack, but like looks into the script

[solemn ridge]

PPLEASE

[dusk iris]

this uh hacks grow a garden?

[real current]

It depends if the animation reaches the part for it to process the bypass to grow a garden

Bro if u don’t get it don’t help me

[dusk iris]

what. is this script even supposed to do

[real current]

Bruh

I’ll just get a real scripter to help to help me

[solemn ridge]

@lilac barn Yo

do you know what a fontface is

[real current]

Why won’t this work

[solemn ridge]

drka rewatch the tutorials lil bro

[real current]

Obviously? The font of a text

[dusk iris]

okay

[dusk iris]

whats a richtext

then

and what does it mean when its true

[real current]

When I enable that it sometimes makes my text smaller or removes the stroke idk

I’m a scripter/animator not a vfx artist..

[dusk iris]

do you have the animation object in the explorer tab

[real current]

No

In properties

[dusk iris]

thank you

[real current]

But it needs to be at the part of the server storage

[dusk iris]

this has single handlely increased my lifespan by four years

through shear joy

Alr bye ur waste time

Who can solve this?

why is it in serverstorage

[remote bear]

i do, for testing if something is running for too long

[weak radish]

It seems kinda pointless

[coral oracle]

@karmic wadi dm

[thorn arch]

Very useful

For anything time related

For example, tick systems use os.clock()

[ember quiver]

how do i do this?

[weak radish]

Thats os.time() no?

[thorn arch]

Clock is more precise

So it's used more

[weak radish]

clock is for cpu usage

[zenith sphinx]

Can someone help me with my games bug? I can pay robux

[weak radish]

(time)

[thorn arch]

Yeah, which makes it more precise

os.time is unix time

[weak radish]

os.clock is for timing run time and os.time is for real world timings

[thorn arch]

Which is not stored with as much precision

[weak radish]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/832374622842126380/1253526646808641536/togif.gif

[thorn arch]

Yeah, which is why os.clock is used it's used for tick systems

It's best to use os.clock when comparing two times without switching runcontext

Os.time is not that useful since i believe :GetServerTime() is better

[static coral]

textchatservice:Chat

or dialogues i think

[weak radish]

erm actually GetServerTime doesnt exist

I think the fix is not wearing hello kitty pants

[thorn arch]

Hitboxes are not meant to collide

[frigid ridge]

time()

[chilly rock]

anybody know why if I don't add task.wait() in here, the script waits for the coroutine to execute and then goes over to the main body loop instead of executing both simultaneously?

[thorn arch]

Spawned threads are excuted immediately

Executed

[vocal tusk]

because it's doing almost instantly

[thorn arch]

Not almost

[chilly rock]

not the case in the second output no?

[thorn arch]

You are yielding it to the next cycle

Spawning a thread does not delay the code

It will execute the same as if it wasn't a different thread

What it does is

Make it so that yielding it doesn't yield the main thread

If you want a thread to run after the main thread

You should defer it

Deferred threads are executed at the end of each cycle

(not on the next cycle)

Also use task library instead of coroutine library

It's an updated version of the coroutine library

[chilly rock]

i don't think you understand me, both scripts are the exact same save for 2 task.wait(1) lines that i added. Functionally, the output of the scripts shouldnt be affected by the added task.waits, but it for some reason they are.

also this is just example code, i'm not acutllay using it

[thorn arch]

Exactly

The task.wait should affect it

Because it yields the spawned threads

[chilly rock]

oh

is task.wait scope specific or for the whole script

[thorn arch]

It is thread specific

The coroutine you spawned is one thread and the main thread is another one

[zenith sphinx]

with help?

[weak radish]

Why would I take you seriously when you're probably paying <100 rbx and are channel misusing

[polar cargo]

how long would it take to learn c#

[zenith sphinx]

nah we can negosiate the price..

[zenith sphinx]

im not miss using im asking for help

[chilly rock]

yeah i understand that part. What i don't understand is if we remove all the task.wait() statements why is the coroutine loop being executed before the main body loop and not at the same time.

[thorn arch]

Because it's called before it

[chilly rock]

but it's a co-routine, if i wanted something to execute before something else i wouldnt even bother with multi-threading

[thorn arch]

What is wrong with it executing first?

[chilly rock]

the fact that it's supposed to execute at the same time because it's a coroutine

[thorn arch]

No it's not

[thorn arch]

They are executed on the same cycle

The computer treats a cycle as one instant in time

If you want them PHYSICALLY running at the same time

You have to use multiple cores

And desynchronize the execution

[chilly rock]

how long is this cycle

if i make the loops long enough then they should overlap

[thorn arch]

The time from 1 frame to the next is 1 cycle

On 60 fps its average 0.016 ms

[thorn arch]

No

It seems you are not understanding how the task scheduler works

[chilly rock]

alright, so if i make it so that the loops execute for 0.032ms in total then the latter cycle should have both the coroutine loop and the normal loop yeah?

[thorn arch]

No

Yielding it at all will move it to the next cycle

(Minimum)

You can only yield for 1 cycle 2 cycle etc.

You can never wait for 0.5 cycle or 1.5 cycle or similar

@chilly rock if this doesn't make sense to you

Then you probably don't know how task.wait works

It doesn't wait the exact duration of time

[chilly rock]

yeah it doesnt make sense to me

[thorn arch]

It checks if the elapsed time since it was called is greater than or equal to the wait duration every frame

[chilly rock]

but even if we throw away task.wait from the equation it still doesnt make sense to me

[thorn arch]

Which part

[chilly rock]

so what you're saying is that if the coroutine has coroutine.yield, then it doesn't really execute at the same time as the rest of the script?

so it's like pseudo-multithreading

[thorn arch]

No

It never runs at the same time

It just runs on the same cycle

[chilly rock]

okay i think i understand that

so takeaway is that if i want really precise and time-sensitive operations with coroutines then i have to be careful

[thorn arch]

If you mean order of execution then

[chilly rock]

yeah

[thorn arch]

You need to understand how the game handles running code

And how it decides which order to execute in

[chilly rock]

these "cycles" are the things called heartbeat right?

[thorn arch]

If you understand it, you can manipulate it

[thorn arch]

Yes, heartbeat is fired once every cycle

[chilly rock]

is that basically the same as minecraft's "ticks"?

[thorn arch]

Sorta

Ticks are not dependant on frame rate

That's the only difference between ticks and cycles

[chilly rock]

oh yeah that makes sense

alright, thank you

[thorn arch]

For example if you have lower fps you will get lower cycles per second

But if you are using a tick system, you can run multiple ticks in one cycle

Meaning that the number of ticks per second is constant

[chilly rock]

why would roblox do it fps-based though, that complicates stuff so much

because different clients have different fps and the server has different fps

so all cycles arent synced

[thorn arch]

Everything is fps based

That's just how it has to be

They don't have a choice

That's why games use tick systems

To account for fps

Even other games

[thorn arch]

Minecraft is also fps based, but the tick system counters that

[fair copper]

guys maybe im lacking some logic knowledge, do would you determine whats a NPC that can receive damage from you and a NPC that doesnt take damage

like whats common between a training scarecrow and a npc?

[sick saffron]

guys to move a model do i have to create a primary part and weld every part of the model to the primary part or can i use the pivotto function?

You do not need to set a PrimaryPart or weld every part anymore you can and should use Model:PivotTo() in most cases.

like this?

[rich gust]

yes, can make clearer and better later but yes!

Make sure this is the PlaceId of the live experience. This script won't work properly in Studio, so test it only in the published game.
Clearer data: Add a reason to the teleportData so you can detect it later (if needed).

Using tags probably

If you are working on a larger scale

[fair copper]

components?

like parts inside any model?

Are you asking how to replicate MUGEN style targeting or camera lock-on behavior in Roblox?

[zinc wedge]

no

[zinc wedge]

im just asking how they did it

[rich gust]

ah okay

[zinc wedge]

for mine i just used hookes law and damping to calculate the force at which it should spring back

not only does it make it super jittery it also feels a lot less smooth (like mugen)

[rich gust]

Switch to Interpolation, Not Forces

[sick saffron]

Ok then

[zinc wedge]

mind explaining this a little more

ive only been scripting 2 days 😭

i know what interpolation is but

what would it change

[rich gust]

way to smoothly “blend” or “mix” between two values over time, rather than jumping straight from one to the other.

[zinc wedge]

aha

[rich gust]

Replace your RenderStepped handler with a Lerp based one

You no longer need Spring.RestoringForce or velocity Lerp handles the smoothing for you

[zinc wedge]

wouldnt that remove the springyness?

[zinc wedge]

oh

[rich gust]

pure Lerp gives you exponential smoothing (a nice ease‑out) but no oscillation. If you want that classic “springy” snap back with a little bounce, you’ll need to reintroduce a spring but in a numerically stable, frame rate independent way, rather than naively applying forces every tick.

[thorn arch]

Components in an Entity component system structure

[rich gust]

Your Hooke + Damping Jittered
force = -k * displacement - c * velocity
applyForce(force)
you rely on Roblox’s physics solver (or your own integration) each frame. If your dt fluctuates, or your spring/damper constants aren’t tuned to critical damping, you’ll see overshoot, jitter, or energy gain/loss.

[patent gorge]

if i wanted to make a code system do i really need a lot of boolvalues to see what was redeemed or nto

[zinc wedge]

yeah

i was probably going about this the wrong way

[rich gust]

Instead of using physics forces, manually integrate a damped spring

[zinc wedge]

i dont see a lot of oscilation in mugens version either

[rich gust]

-- Spring parameters
local k = 50 -- spring constant
local c = 10 -- damping coefficient

-- State
local camPos = cam.CFrame.Position
local camVel = Vector3.new(0,0,0)

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt)
if not (lockon and lockedTarget) then return end

local targetPos = lockedTarget.HumanoidRootPart.Position + cameraOffset
local displacement = camPos - targetPos

-- 1) Compute acceleration (F = m*a, assume m=1)
local accel = (-k * displacement) - (c * camVel)

-- 2) Integrate velocity (semi‑implicit Euler)
camVel = camVel + accel * dt

-- 3) Integrate position
camPos = camPos + camVel * dt

-- 4) Apply camera
cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(camPos, targetPos)

-- (optional target‑switch logic here)

end)

this should work saved from notes and kept updating

[zinc wedge]

how would i do that

[rich gust]

Pick k (stiffness) around, say, 50.
Set c slightly below 2*sqrt(50) ≈ 14.14 — e.g. c = 12.
if you want some bounce

[zinc wedge]

OH

[rich gust]

starter player

[zinc wedge]

alr thanks ill try these out

[rich gust]

okay 🙂

[thorn arch]

If you don't wnat oscillation you can just lerp

By a fixed amount each frame

[rich gust]

here is a blend of em for like the “snappy typa effect”

[thorn arch]

(multiply with deltatime if you don't want frame dependancy)

[rich gust]

-- after computing newCamPos via Lerp…
camPos = camPos:Lerp(desiredPos, lerpAlpha)

-- then run a lightweight spring correction toward camPos
local springAccel = -k*(cam.CFrame.Position - camPos) - ccamVel
camVel = camVel + springAcceldt
local finalPos = cam.CFrame.Position + camVel*dt

cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(finalPos, targetPos)

[thorn arch]

Use \ before *

* allows you to do this *

[rich gust]

fr!??

[zinc wedge]

this might be simpler ngl

[rich gust]

i never knew

wait let me try

[thorn arch]

It's simpler yes

[zinc wedge]

maybe once i learn a bit more

for 2 days im doing too much

[rich gust]

/hi/

[thorn arch]

It would look something like

[rich gust]

oh

[thorn arch]

Other slash

The less used one

[zinc wedge]

\hi\

[rich gust]

ohhhh

[thorn arch]

*hi*

[zinc wedge]

/\

[rich gust]

/*beans*

[zinc wedge]

/sd

[rich gust]

aw cool, thanks!

[zinc wedge]

!!

[rich gust]

/****

[thorn arch]

local newCframe = currCFrame:Lerp(targetCframe,0.1*dt)

Something like this

Would work

[zinc wedge]

would lerp make it snap back though

we can forget the

[thorn arch]

Unless i got some syntax wrong

[zinc wedge]

oscilation but

[thorn arch]

Yes

If you want it to be stronger just increase the number

1 will make it snap back instantly (you couldn't even move it away)

0 will never snap back

(basically no lock)

[zinc wedge]

i do want the cursor to have a bit of freedom though but obviosuly not have it like completely away from the target

[thorn arch]

Your ideal amount will probably be around 0.3 or something

Or maybe higher

[zinc wedge]

would i just set a range and lerp the camera position back to enemys hrp

[thorn arch]

Nah it's lerping angle here

The target cframe is the cframe pointing exactly towards the target

And the current cframe is well

The current cframe

[zinc wedge]

im so confused

so its basically like

taking the shortest path when you rotate?

alright thanks ill try it out

[rich gust]

^

big brain brian.

[zinc wedge]

so i made it work

BUT

theres this uncontrollable shaking

[hexed forge]

that sucks man 😦

[zinc wedge]

ya i gotta fixi t

[rich gust]

possibly, Use WorldCFrame.Position instead if the target is rotated and you want to preserve facing
Add camera lag delay for more cinematic feel

[thorn arch]

You're not lerping the camera cframe

[rich gust]

Yes, switching from RootAttachment.WorldPosition to HumanoidRootPart.Position will:

Reduce weird offsetting
Improve stability
Eliminate that "camera shoves character around" feel
Be more consistent across devices (mobile, PC)
but also

Smooth Lerp Camera with Damping

targetPos = targetPos:Lerp(rawTargetPos, math.clamp(delta * 10, 0, 1))

I EAT BACON HEHEHE

[hexed forge]

ur so sart

smart

[zinc wedge]

oh yeah its working now

[vestal lantern]

what happens when you make a dash ability thats handled client side

[zinc wedge]

im in over my head though ill probably re do it later on when i have a better understanding

after a point i had to resort to using AI because im too slow

[zinc wedge]

wdym by handled

[vestal lantern]

nvm

like velocity and cframe and stuff

but i figured it out

[analog basin]

Hi guys

I wanna know something

If we use deprecated things in code they still work if im correct?

anyone know?

[rich gust]

I EAT BACON HEHEHE

I HAVE FINSIHED

AND AM BACK! 👋🏼

[rich gust]

yes yes

correct

[rich gust]

AI bad

[rich gust]

🙂

[analog basin]

Yup

[analog basin]

👋

[torpid night]

Hi I got a problem with a script for example I got 80 Coins I purchase the Bloxycola for 50 so now I got 30 Coins but here come the +2 of coins now Im at 82 coins (like it ignore the purchase idk why can someone help me?

[rich gust]

👋🏼

[analog basin]

show the main script where the purchase happens

[rich gust]

You are adding coins from DataManager every 60 seconds, but your BuyToolHandler script is not using DataManager to subtract coins it's modifying leaderstats.Coins.Value

fix / solution

Update your BuyToolHandler to use DataManager:BuyTool() instead of handling coin logic itself

this is optional but ( You can still insert the StringValue manually, but BuyTool() already does it (line 50 in DataManager). So if you want a cleaner setup, remove the insert code and trust BuyTool(). )

[analog basin]

Yo man i need help with one thing

ok so you know in some games

Like in bladeball or smth you can see your own character with the new weapon but other players see their own character

how would you do that

[torpid night]

1 or 2 (1 i Guess)

[somber vault]

can anyone help me with code, im working on a game where u search for stones but i need help how do i script stone spawning every 30 secs and picking up when found system. i have 1 dev working with me and we would be happy to share funds and work with us if anyone wants

[torpid night]

or i can try to put he 1 inside of datamanager?

[exotic comet]

Guys I don't fcking understand why people want scripter with 2+ more years of experience to code their obby game :/

[rich gust]

Move Tools to ReplicatedStorage or ServerStorage
Keep all tools inside ReplicatedStorage.Tools or ServerStorage.Tools.
2. Equip Tool Locally in a LocalScript
Inside your "Equip" button logic (in ButtonHandler), replace the equip logic
Don't parent tools to the character from the server.
Don’t use Humanoid:EquipTool() on the server.
Never parent the tool to the player's character from the server.
Do not parent the tool to Backpack on the server.

[rich gust]

because experience/past work/ well done, plus they dont use AI and use thier brain… portfolio is good.

[rich gust]

you should let DataManager:BuyTool() insert the StringValue, It's already doing everything correctly and safely. Just call BuyTool() and trust it.

[exotic comet]

Yeah but if you are "new" and none want to hire you for past works you will never have past works

And I dont think you need big experience for an obby :/

[rich gust]

then start doing stuff and helping people for free to build a portfolio

[rich gust]

u do not, or simulators/tycoons.

[rich gust]

jus some knowledge

[exotic comet]

Hm idk

[rich gust]

help for free, get well respected, do your own thing and build up and go from there

[rich gust]

just keep doin you and be yourself, just keep pushing/grinding

you can do it, just takes time/effort

[exotic comet]

I thought I should create stuff and sell it, it would work as a portfolio and a way to earn robux

[exotic comet]

Ty

[analog basin]

Ye man im working on a game similar to Hide or die and then cash of from that and then build a bigger game

[exotic comet]

The thing is that people who want help for free want always to create game 😭

I can't put myself in a full game rn

[analog basin]

fr

I mean working for someone for free is kinda risky

[rich gust]

thats a good plan, stick to that and you got it! follow dev forums, get help from people here ( feel free to msg me for simple hep, if its harder it is paid ) , youtube tutorials, just doing small stuff and learning and not overstimulate your brain

[analog basin]

cuz like either you get big and cash of or it doesn't

[exotic comet]

Yeah at least you get extra experience

[rich gust]

very true, hit or miss, if its not unique or original dont do it.

[analog basin]

Yeah man thanks

[rich gust]

if you like the idea and think it will do good+ they have sponsers/ads/devs, it will be good/possibly

[rich gust]

ofc anytime

[analog basin]

🤩

[rich gust]

you still get a good portfolio for helping people for free and making them happy.

its just a lot of time/work

[exotic comet]

Hm ok

Who needs help for free?

[analog basin]

from me, but i got devs

[exotic comet]

I can also accept robux if you want 👉👈

[analog basin]

who doesn't

[exotic comet]

Some people who only wants real money

Ig they are adults or smth

[fair copper]

guys is this blockcasting good enough?

i mean its not i think

[exotic comet]

What is block casting?

[analog basin]

yeh

[analog basin]

true

[analog basin]

never heard
