code-discussion

[brazen moon]

It’s detectable

[kindred pulsar]

ok thank you

[rotund pawn]

How?

[sudden estuary]

oop would make it easier if you have multiple characters but they all need a base combat system @kindred pulsar

[kindred pulsar]

is learning combat systems a good move?

[kindred pulsar]

alr

[brazen moon]

I’m not telling you

[junior pier]

wouldnt modules also work for this? just wondering btw not saying ur wrong

[brazen moon]

Incase I have to check one of your scripts later on

[sudden estuary]

yea, but this what oop stands for

[rotund pawn]

Why would you check my scripts?

[rigid citrus]

does any1 know how to make a custom player model hold a tool, ive tried wth motor6D and welds but doesnt work

[brazen moon]

Application reader

In the future

[rotund pawn]

I am always saying I use AI alot to generate tween templates

[junior pier]

wdym? just drsg it in there

[kindred pulsar]

so whats a good move i should do if i want to get ready for commissions?

[rigid citrus]

?

[modest atlas]

uppercut

[junior pier]

shower

[modest atlas]

dodge

[rigid citrus]

tf js drag it in there

[junior pier]

oh i thought u meant ur move

[rigid citrus]

this happens

[fading bramble]

is this code good?

[rotund pawn]

Tool is anchored?

[kindred pulsar]

i just realised what i said😭😭

i mean like what should i learn for commissions

[rigid citrus]

nope

[rotund pawn]

When you can script whole game, you can

and apply for scripter role in here

[kindred pulsar]

alr

what type of game should i do?

[kindred pulsar]

how?

[rotund pawn]

Just learn how to script, you have to provide a good 200-lines code

[fading bramble]

can anyone tell me if the code is good and readable?

and what can I improve

[kindred pulsar]

what type of game, like simulator, battleground?

[sudden estuary]

memory leak

[fading bramble]

whats that?

[sudden estuary]

you are creating the StateChanged event connection multiple times

as its under Heartbeat

[rotund pawn]

Is there any way to detect memory leak in Roblox?

[fading bramble]

ohh yeah

[kindred pulsar]

what type of game should i make, combat based action or like a simulator?

[fading bramble]

are there any other bugs?

[sudden estuary]

move it out of the Heartbeat

[fading bramble]

yeah I did

[sudden estuary]

memory spiking

[fading bramble]

but is there anything other

[sudden estuary]

i didn't notice any

[fading bramble]

k thanks

[rotund pawn]

Roblox really should do some memore leak check tool

[sudden estuary]

its easier said than done

[rotund pawn]

Ofc, but it would be really helpful

[tired stag]

how to get super good at cframes

[sudden estuary]

by doing super stuffs with cframes

[tired stag]

alr

[rich gust]

learn, youtube, dev forums, learn shortcuts, do small stuff and keep grinding

[tired stag]

ok thx

[somber vault]

if you don't have a handle turn off require handle in propties.

[bold cliff]

nicee

[tired stag]

omg

good job

[peak sphinx]

tell chatgpt he did a good job

unless thats actually how you write comments, just looks eh

[sudden estuary]

that isn't how chatgpt comments either

[peak sphinx]

maybe not, but those that just send code blocks like this asking vague questions usually did not write it themselves

[wild kayak]

Making dialogue systems for 300rbx

[junior pier]

he probably wrote it himself, and was asking if it’s optimised

[gloomy trench]

Guys whenever the player is tp'd to another place in my game it kicks them with code 302

[strange kiln]

Increase price

[inland idol]

i'm uhh

having a little trouble with my module.............

it's turned into spaghetti

wait one sec

essentially it's a pathfind script that has a couple features like teleporting or jumpnig if stuck

and idk if it's just me but it's getting a little hard to read so i need recommendations for how to optimise it (i'm a pretty beginner at scripting and im trying ot make this as versatile as possible which is why it might be so overcomplicated)

(yes i did use chatgpt, but obviously not to write the entire thing, kind of as a task manager so im not copying out code)

(and also im trying to stick to naming conventions but its inconsistent throughout the code so)

i've tried to use these commented signs to organise it but tbh it's like putting bandages on a broken glass

i also forgot to mention the teleportation part doesn't work as expected

[mint bough]

@inland idol tldr

[inland idol]

o

mb

[red warren]

what yall think hm ?

[red warren]

ive not finished all the mechanics yet, there is sfx but my recorder didnt pick the SFX up,

[ripe plume]

its nice

maybe change the cursor

since it kinda sticks out

[wild kayak]

Why

[strange kiln]

How dare you question me

[wild kayak]

Srry sir

[rotund pawn]

So I just found out local script > LinearVelo & VectorForce is replicated to server, how about align Orientation?

[tepid musk]

All physics constraints get replicated.

[gloomy kiln]

this looks awesome, how many years did ya script for?

[rotund pawn]

Should I keep AlignOrientation in tool handle?

[tepid musk]

I mean, you can, but considering you need attachments for them to actually work, why not parent your physics constraints in said attachment0?

[rotund pawn]

Yeah I will do that when I figure out how it works 😄

[tepid musk]

AlignOrientation & AlignPosition (depending on the mode), usually takes 2 attachments, attachment0, and attachment1

[rotund pawn]

I switched to one Atachment mode

[rich gust]

Thats 🔥, keep putting in that work, man

[tepid musk]

okay, then it takes one attachment, pretty much the same thing

[rotund pawn]

So I would like the AO to control only X axis of said part, What would be the settings? (The arrows are not helpful :D)

[sterile pollen]

how do i make my game r6

[rotund pawn]

How would I set it?

[peak cave]

x, y, z

[rotund pawn]

X

[potent umbra]

guys who can help me with some ui

im really lost

omg nvm wrong channel

[spare mulch]

how i can start scripting

[fading bramble]

I do I like code that is readable

And chatgpt doesn't write comments this way anyways lol

[peak sphinx]

If you can read it, it's readable

[fading bramble]

Well I just like doing it this way

Just a preference

[tired remnant]

Pretty sure client is looking under the player for the value to be changed, it’s not look at the correct value in workspace where the server is actually changing it

[inland idol]

can someone just tell me if this code is optimised (it probably isn’t) and how to optimise it

[rotund pawn]

Any help welcomed 😄

[inland sierra]

😅

[rotund pawn]

If I pay someone can someone finally help me?

[cold glen]

of course

[rotund pawn]

Question was posted, then reply

[cold glen]

no

[coarse panther]

What does this even mean?

[pallid furnace]

more than 200 ref

[rotund pawn]

Can I get some help please? it needs to be done asap

[pallid furnace]

@coarse panther

[coarse panther]

aren't there only 2 things in the table?

[pallid furnace]

idk thats just the error

[coarse panther]

and if i write it individually for the 2 things, it gives the exact same error to the next loop, and then the next, and so on

[lethal bluff]

how much would it cost to hire a dev here to use CSS to design this Miraheze wiki? Generally speaking, need a fair starting number

I know CSS to a basic extent but no idea what the fuck im doing when it comes to that platform

[coarse panther]

do you have a variable limit in a script?

it seems like if i remove 2 variables, no matter which, the error goes away

[tepid musk]

CSS? So you want a website created off-platform?

[lethal bluff]

yes

it's Miraheze

[jaunty nymph]

hao helped me fix it

Thx for your help tho

[tepid musk]

not sure what Miraheze is, but you’re probably better off looking elsewhere, considering Roblox doesn’t use CSS to my knowledge (I know they’re releasing stylesheets, but that’s not external nor is it full css)

[lethal bluff]

it's a wiki platform

And Im aware roblox generally doesnt use CSS but i figured with #programmer-hiring for off platform work existing as opposed to #scripter-hiring, there'd be people who know

I have a close friend who's a scripter who knows CSS, java, etc on top of LUA so I know theres plenty others like that. But I cant ask him because he's busy\

[tepid musk]

well Lua is one of, if not the easiest language, so anyone who knows programming, basically knows Lua lmao

But if you can find anything useful here, maybe try other sites like Fiverr, I know they have a lot of websites designers.

[lethal bluff]

CSS is even easier than LUA

[tepid musk]

It depends on definition, but I don’t think CSS or HTML are really considered programming languages.

[lethal bluff]

I would know because I managed to learn enough CSS to make a profile for an old ass browser game lol. But I couldnt learn LUA

[lethal bluff]

yes it's markup language or whatever, hence why it shouldnt be hard to find someone

[rotund pawn]

How can I create glider tool that follows mouse?

[lethal bluff]

The bigger hurdle is someone who knows the Miraheze website

[tepid musk]

I guess, but I was making a correlation between programming languages, it was a joke that if anyone knows Java, JavaScript, C#, etc, then they know Lua.

[red heron]

why can my clones not die?

[uneven pawn]

Whats the best way to learn how to script (im a modeler)

[empty peak]

trying to get my dream bat or godly please help

[rich gust]

msg me

[ripe plume]

watch my tutorials 😂

[empty peak]

trying to get my dream bat or godly please help

[peak sphinx]

Go to sleep and dream

[tepid musk]

the best way in my opinion is to make things and different things, not just watching tutorials or reading articles, if it becomes a chore, you’re less likely to remember or care about whatever you’re just reading.

[uneven pawn]

Ah so just throw myself into projects? and how long do you think it will take if i spend maybe 2 hours a day?

[ripe plume]

impossible to say really, it really depends on how much you challenge yourself / your learning speed

[tepid musk]

it depends on you, everyone learns at a different pace .

[ripe plume]

but you can surely get pretty good after a few months I'd say

[tepid musk]

no, try making things, especially things you’ve never made or looks challenging.

[uneven pawn]

Ah! I think im a pretty quick learner (school wise) and ive previously learnt python to a certain level

[uneven pawn]

So like scripting a UI? for example

[uneven pawn]

Planning to properly throw myself into it

[ripe plume]

nice, there are def some similarities between the two so you'll have kind of a head start with tables and functions etc

[uneven pawn]

Ah perfect and

I find the code discussion really useful for tips

[ripe plume]

it is!

[uneven pawn]

python took me around 13 days

[ripe plume]

i always go to code help when i need help with something and can't figure it out (only ask advanced questions there though they can be rude if not 😂 )

[uneven pawn]

but i spent around 9 hours each day on it

[uneven pawn]

Lol fair enough i mean

[ripe plume]

what does that mean though?

[uneven pawn]

To learn completely ish

[ripe plume]

learning Python can mean a lot of things

okay

[uneven pawn]

Oh like main stream scripting

[ripe plume]

ah

[uneven pawn]

13 days averaging 9 hours each day

[ripe plume]

well i recommend starting with my "how to script in roblox studio #1" now then #2 then you'll understand a bit of studio

feel free to watch other people's videos but if you watch mine im here all the time to answer questions

[uneven pawn]

I am fairly fimilar with studio as ive used it for close to 2 years now i run VISIOn studio but i always have to out source scripting work

[ripe plume]

ah

[uneven pawn]

and my profit margins are pretty rubish so if i do the work myself i can make more

[ripe plume]

well 'Emilki' if you need it 👍
im partnered now so that's why im asking u i want the money lmao

[uneven pawn]

im only 14 btw

[ripe plume]

okay

i started getting good at that age

[uneven pawn]

ah gives me hope

[ripe plume]

now im 18 and its my job

[uneven pawn]

Lol

I dont want to do it as a job just as a hobby r u making good money of it or no

[ripe plume]

yeah

[uneven pawn]

ah okay

Well my tuiton starts in 2 minutes

Thank you for all the help

[red warren]

im started.

lets say 2 week ago.

[junior pier]

is it normal that i still havent updated to the new roblox studio version yet?

is the new layout good?

[civic gull]

i havent

i enabled it and then disabled it straight away

[rotund pawn]

How should I handle multiple datastores needed? I need one for base, 2nd for inventory. Should I merge them?

[final ivy]

i like it you can make your own tabs and stuff now

ppl hate on it cuz they dont want to get used to something new

[junior pier]

ooh i might update it then

[junior pier]

yea id say im pretty open minded so i'll give it a go

[final ivy]

its def an adjustment but its honestly better, easier to navigate

also more consistent with icons apperance etc

[tough dawn]

paid and fun ofc

[final ivy]

why doesnt your dude optimize his own code

[junior pier]

always good to get a second opinion

i completely understand

[copper jacinth]

Use the marketplace for hiring

[tough dawn]

only people dming are scammers

u guys meed to make it so that only the people who are verified to post, can view the channels

[final ivy]

thats true

[copper jacinth]

You can find people in #scripter-hirable

[tough dawn]

i believe that my idea is pretty popular though so would u be able to see if u can make a change to prevent us from losing more money because we cant verify the authenticity of those dming us?

[copper jacinth]

When I get hired, I usually check their profiles on discord and roblox, then check them in the scam logs here https://hiddendevs.com/scamlogs

You can make suggestions for the server if you have any

[tough dawn]

where

[fading bramble]

Can anyone tell me how to code a currency popup ( I mean in words, not code) is it just putting it in a random position and tweening it to go up or is there more logic to it?

[ripe plume]

no, that's pretty much it haha

you mean like "+1 coin" popups right?

[civic gull]

exactly that

[ripe plume]

just clone an invisible textlabel you have ready, and math.random() for the pos (scale) then tween its size to pop

[fading bramble]

thanks I just wanted to be sure so I wont waste time

[ripe plume]

ah alr

[wild kayak]

Yo

[dim dagger]

there is no sripter's channel?

[wild kayak]

Yeah

[wild kayak]

Iam a scripter

[dim dagger]

is that scripters chat?

[wild kayak]

Yes

[strange kiln]

This is the scripters channel

[unreal axle]

if you thought about it why didn't you already put it into practice before asking

[fading bramble]

so I wont waste time

[unreal axle]

then wouldn't it be a bigger waste of time to go out of your way to ask first despite the fact you already had an overall idea on how to do it?

[fading bramble]

no I dont think so

[vernal peak]

is it alright if I have all my guis in player gui and make them not visible then have them visible when a player does something? Or should I put them in replicated storage and clone them

[past hornet]

how can i type ` without copying and pasting

[tired remnant]

Mobile?

[unreal axle]

just learn about your keyboard layout

it can't be that complicated

[ripe plume]

us keyboard or?

[junior pier]

here, `.
hope that helps!

[past hornet]

i found out (chatgpt) that i can only use Alt + 96

cuz italian keyboard

[unreal axle]

how does an italian keyboard not have `

[past hornet]

i dont know

i literally looked on all keys

[unreal axle]

can you actually look it up instead of asking an ai

[past hornet]

there wasnt an actual answer

just trash answers which didnt work

chatgpt helped me instead

i usually search up things

this time it didnt help

[unreal axle]

try altgr + your key for apostrophe

[past hornet]

'

nop

[unreal axle]

what about i?

[past hornet]

it doesnt work

[unreal axle]

fuck nvm this is a guide for edited keyboard layouts

[junior pier]

yo

i updated and its not there

[past hornet]

only alt + 96

[junior pier]

@marsh urchin did u figure out how to toggle it?

[past hornet]

better than nothing ig

[unreal axle]

it's literally just next gen studio

on the beta features

[junior pier]

ty

[gloomy pasture]

how do u optimize a game

[fervent moth]

just dont have a million parts

[fading bramble]

local FrameTween = TweenService:Create(newPopUp, TweenInfo, {Position = targetPosition})
    local ImgTween = TweenService:Create(newPopUp.ImageLabel, TweenInfo, {ImageTransparency = 1})
    local TextTween = TweenService:Create(newPopUp.TextLabel, TweenInfo, {TextTransparency = 1})
    local TextStrokeTween = TweenService:Create(newPopUp.TextLabel.UIStroke, TweenInfo, {Transparency = 1})``` do I have to make a different tween for every of this or is this possible to do in a better way?

[gloomy pasture]

what about bones

[fervent moth]

bones..?

like in a rig

[gloomy pasture]

yeah

[fervent moth]

maybe put in table

[gloomy pasture]

they cause fps drops right

[autumn orchid]

bones?

[fervent moth]

ehh

honestly ive never had trouble

with rigs

[autumn orchid]

well what type of game you making

[fervent moth]

maybe its ur computer?

[gloomy pasture]

so having a buncha rigs dont matter?

[ripe plume]

u could do a canvasgroup but i dont rly like them

[gloomy pasture]

no bro its not my pc

[fading bramble]

whats that?

never heard of it

[fervent moth]

UI

thingy

i hardly use it

[ripe plume]

like a frame, but changing its property "CanvasTransparency" or "GroupTransparency" (i dont remember the name), will change all descendants' transparencies

[fading bramble]

oh that would be really helpful cuz I literally used frame to keep image and text in 1 place

thanks

[ripe plume]

yeah

np

i also made an open sourced module for this like a few yrs ago if u dont wanna use canvas groups

[junior pier]

local tween
function(object, goal)
tween = TweenService:Create(object, TweenInfo, goal)
--tween:Play()
end

nvm i didnt even read ur question right

[fading bramble]

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local event = RS:FindFirstChild("PopGui")

local PopUp = RS.PopUp
local Text = PopUp.TextLabel

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local DataFile = plr:WaitForChild("DataFile")
local Jump = DataFile:WaitForChild("Jump")
local Wins = DataFile:WaitForChild("Wins")

local TweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
    1.5,
    Enum.EasingStyle.Quart,
    Enum.EasingDirection.Out
)

Jump.Changed:Connect(function()
    local newPopUp = PopUp:Clone()
    newPopUp.Parent = script.Parent
    newPopUp.Position = UDim2.new(math.random(25, 75) / 100, 0, math.random(45, 75) / 100, 0)
    
    local targetPosition = newPopUp.Position - UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 100)
    local tween = TweenService:Create(newPopUp, TweenInfo, {Position = targetPosition, GroupTransparency = 1})
    
    tween:Play()
    tween.Completed:Wait()
    newPopUp:Destroy()
end)``` is this code good? is there anything I can improve

[ripe plume]

dont use changed

[fading bramble]

what should I use?

[ripe plume]

GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value")

[fading bramble]

yeah but what else would change

[junior pier]

.Changed can be anything

[ripe plume]

yeah

[fading bramble]

yeah but what else could change

[junior pier]

so if u have other attributes or sum

[fading bramble]

I dont

[junior pier]

anyways its not good practice

[fading bramble]

alr alr

Jump:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value").Changed:Connect(function()``` so this right?

[ripe plume]

nah

remove the .Changed

[fading bramble]

oh yeah lol

Jump:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()``` now?

[ripe plume]

yep

[fading bramble]

k

[ripe plume]

also set the parent at the end

(newPopUp)

[fading bramble]

why at the end?

[fading bramble]

XD

[ripe plume]

it saves some performance i can send a link if u wanna read it

[junior pier]

is jump and wins value bases? personally id just use attributes under DataFile

[junior pier]

whys that so funny 😭

[fading bramble]

its leaderstats value

almost

[junior pier]

oh huh

[fading bramble]

my leaderstats is using abbreviations

so I use another folder

[junior pier]

ok

[fading bramble]

with int values

[junior pier]

um

[fading bramble]

my main leaderstats are string for this purpose

[junior pier]

alr i mean up to you

[fading bramble]

oh wait when I do popups

should I use remote event for it

or how do I trigger it

cuz if I set value to 0 it will also count as value change

but then ofc I dont want a popup

I want it when increasing value

should I make a lastvalue value to check if its increased or decreased or how do I approach this?

[ripe plume]

just create a variable for this

[fading bramble]

yeah I thought so too

thanks

[ripe plume]

"lastValue"

then if newValue > lastvalue tween

np

[fading bramble]

yeah that was the first thing I thought about

Im just learning writing the most optimal code so I ask a lot

Jump:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
    if lastValue < Jump.Value then
        lastValue = Jump.Value
        return
    end
    local newPopUp = PopUp:Clone()
    newPopUp.Position = UDim2.new(math.random(25, 75) / 100, 0, math.random(45, 75) / 100, 0)
    newPopUp.Parent = script.Parent
    
    local targetPosition = newPopUp.Position - UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 100)
    local tween = TweenService:Create(newPopUp, TweenInfo, {Position = targetPosition, GroupTransparency = 1})
    
    tween:Play()
    tween.Completed:Wait()
    newPopUp:Destroy()
end)``` @ripe plume so this right?

[ripe plume]

why only change the last value if that is true?

shouldnt you always change it anyway? but at the end

[fading bramble]

oh yeah wrong sign mb

    if lastValue > Jump.Value then
        lastValue = Jump.Value
        return
    end```

now?

[ripe plume]

not rly

[fading bramble]

whats still wrong?

[ripe plume]

here:

[fading bramble]

u didnt send anything

[ripe plume]

i was too lazy to sry im playing a game lmao
but make sure the lastValue variable is always changed

[fading bramble]

ohh yeah forgot

Jump:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
    if lastValue > Jump.Value then
        lastValue = Jump.Value
        return
    end
    
    lastValue = Jump.Value
    
    local newPopUp = PopUp:Clone()
    newPopUp.Position = UDim2.new(math.random(25, 75) / 100, 0, math.random(45, 75) / 100, 0)
    newPopUp.Parent = script.Parent
    
    local targetPosition = newPopUp.Position - UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 100)
    local tween = TweenService:Create(newPopUp, TweenInfo, {Position = targetPosition, GroupTransparency = 1})
    
    tween:Play()
    tween.Completed:Wait()
    newPopUp:Destroy()
end)``` now?

oh wait I can improve it

[ripe plume]

yup

[fading bramble]

Jump:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
    lastValue = Jump.Value
    if lastValue > Jump.Value then return end
    
    local newPopUp = PopUp:Clone()
    newPopUp.Position = UDim2.new(math.random(25, 75) / 100, 0, math.random(45, 75) / 100, 0)
    newPopUp.Parent = script.Parent
    
    local targetPosition = newPopUp.Position - UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 100)
    local tween = TweenService:Create(newPopUp, TweenInfo, {Position = targetPosition, GroupTransparency = 1})
    
    tween:Play()
    tween.Completed:Wait()
    newPopUp:Destroy()
end)```

now?

[ripe plume]

ehh no

just go back to the old version

[fading bramble]

oh yeah

XDD

im so stupid

[ripe plume]

nah dw

[fading bramble]

Jump:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
    if lastValue > Jump.Value then
        lastValue = Jump.Value
        return 
    end
    
    lastValue = Jump.Value
    
    local newPopUp = PopUp:Clone()
    newPopUp.Position = UDim2.new(math.random(25, 75) / 100, 0, math.random(45, 75) / 100, 0)
    newPopUp.Parent = script.Parent
    
    local targetPosition = newPopUp.Position - UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 100)
    local tween = TweenService:Create(newPopUp, TweenInfo, {Position = targetPosition, GroupTransparency = 1})
    
    tween:Play()
    tween.Completed:Wait()
    newPopUp:Destroy()
end)```

so this is the best way?

[ripe plume]

maybe not the best way but its alr tho

[fading bramble]

what could be improved?

btw sorry for sending so much, I tend to make the most stupid mistakes that exist lol

[ripe plume]

noo dw!

hey you wanna watch my tutorials so i can get some ad money? its roblox studio tutorials 👉 👈

[next compass]

want to ask

how can i make an item where you can place a structure like in 99 nights in the forest?
it's a one time use and does not require a placement system, i also need to know how can i make an area unbuildable.

[fading bramble]

sorry Ive never worked with placing anything

im a beginner cuz even tho I code since 3 years I do it for like 2 weeks and return to it after 2months lol

[next compass]

ah alr

[next compass]

ahh i see

i've been working on a RPG game

where there would be some special aspects like building, cutscenes, minigames etc

nvm i just found out, thanks for trying to help tho

[burnt fossil]

could anyone give me feedback?

[placid coral]

Any femboy scripters hmu

[final ivy]

Personal preference but members should not be defined by string indexes

Why not just Combat.Attacks

Combat.Attacks.Sword

[burnt fossil]

oh

Okay I will keep thaat in mind

[burnt fossil]

is that all or

[tropic totem]

Looking for scripters for my studio.dms if interested

[final ivy]

Did you intend to duplicate the name of the attack? ["Sword"] has a member Name which is also Sword

[burnt fossil]

I lowky revamped the whole thing

Would you like to see the new ver or

[final ivy]

Sure

[burnt fossil]

Okay

[burnt fossil]

I think I may have to restart everything though

[final ivy]

why?

[burnt fossil]

1. Its disorganised I think
2. I asked ai to help me debug some stuff and I don't want that in the game
3. Its just really 🍑

[final ivy]

What makes it so 🍑

[wet wadi]

yo can someone script equiping my weapon in my game

[burnt fossil]

because i think i may be able to do better

3 people have mentioned how the parameters are more that 4 or said why do i need an entire new function for the m1

[final ivy]

Give me a sec I am reading it

[burnt fossil]

k

[torn star]

how do i code a stat system?

[amber acorn]

import { useState } from 'react';
import { shuffle } from '../shuffle';

let values = ['🌭','🐟','😿','🐴','🥰','🐈','🌭','🐟','😿','🐴','🥰','🐈'];

let shuffledArray = shuffle(values);

export function Grid() {
  const [canFlip, setCanFlip] = useState(true);
  const [amountFlipped, setAmountFlipped] = useState(0);
  const [cardsFlipped, setCardsFlipped] = useState([]);

  let cards = [];

  for (let i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
    cards.push(
      <Card key={i} canFlipArray={[canFlip, setCanFlip]} amountFlippedArray={[amountFlipped, setAmountFlipped]} cardsFlippedArray={[cardsFlipped, setCardsFlipped]} value={shuffledArray[i]}/>
    );
  }
  return <div className="grid">{cards}</div>;

    e.target.classList.add('flipped');

    setTimeout(() => {

    }, 200);

    setCardsFlipped([...cardsFlipped, { el: e.target, value }]);
    setAmountFlipped(amountFlipped + 1);

    if (amountFlipped >= 1) {
      setCanFlip(false);

      setTimeout(() => {
        const [first, second] = [...cardsFlipped, { el: e.target, value }];

        if (first.value === second.value) {
          setCardsFlipped([]);

      }, 1000);
    }
  };

  return <div className="card" onClick={flip}></div>;
}

thoughts on this React code?

[burnt fossil]

did u just write that now

?

[amber acorn]

idk

[burnt fossil]

oh

[final ivy]

How does networking work here? Which scripts are on the server/client?

[burnt fossil]

only the weaponHandler

[final ivy]

its on the client i assume?

[burnt fossil]

no server.

[final ivy]

o ok

[amber acorn]

wait this one might be more readable

[burnt fossil]

u send a remote event to the server after checking if the tool is a weapon

[final ivy]

I think you could improve how you define individual weapons

Make a class for them

Also the part you make in hitbox can probably be preexisting in ReplicatedStorage or something and just cloned

[burnt fossil]

Ahh okay

[burnt fossil]

like how?

I still might restart -the hitbox due to the fact that i want to simplify it

or yk what i may not restart but tweak it

[final ivy]

All of them have common values eg. Name, Damage, Knockback, M1, Ability1, so you could define a class that stores that data and create methods to use it

For example a few weeks ago I made a module script that is a wrapper for marketplace service. Since you can't get gamepass IDs or dev product IDs programmatically, each product must be defined in code somewhere. So I made a class that makes it incredibly easy to do:

PurchaseHandler.new(
  "SomeProduct", -- Name of the product/handler
  12345, -- ID of the product/gamepass this handler is for
  "GAMEPASS", -- The type of product this handler is for
  function(receiptInfo, player) -- A function to be called if the purchase is completed
  end
)

[burnt fossil]

ohhh

[final ivy]

You could do something similar:

Weapon.new(
  "WeaponName",
  16, -- damage
  4, -- knockback
  function(plr,hrp,hum)
  end,
  function(plr)
  end
)

[burnt fossil]

Okay so I should do that and then put the 1 funcs inside?

bc im going to make multiple weapons

[final ivy]

Your implementation is up to you, but yeah it'd make it much easier

Also it seems you could entirely eliminate the M1 function by using a method

[burnt fossil]

?

every weapon would have a different passive though

[fresh cloud]

local function IsShiftDown()
    return UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift)
end

local function EnableControls()
    print("Controls Status: Enabled")
    local UIS = Enum.UserInputState
    
    -- Rotation is 0-indexed
    ContextActionService:BindAction("Rotate", function(_ActionName_, InputState, _InputObject_)
        if InputState ~= UIS.Begin then return end
        
        if IsShiftDown() then
            Rotation = (Rotation <= 0) and 5 or Rotation-1
        else
            Rotation = (Rotation >= 5) and 0 or Rotation+1
        end
        
        print("Rotation-num:",Rotation,"Rotation-vector:",RotationTable[Rotation])
    end, false, Enum.KeyCode.R)
    
    -- ColorID is 0-indexed
    ContextActionService:BindAction("ChangeColor", function(_ActionName_, InputState, _InputObject_)
        if InputState ~= UIS.Begin then return end
        print("C pressed")
        
        if IsShiftDown() then
            print("Shift is down")
            ColorId = (ColorId <= 0) and ColorTable_MaxKey or ColorId-1
        else
            print("Shift is not down")
            ColorId = (ColorId >= ColorTable_MaxKey) and 0 or ColorId+1
        end
        
        print("ColorId-num:",ColorId,"ColorId-color3:",ColorTable[ColorId])
    end, false, Enum.KeyCode.C)
end

Why Shift+R is correct but Shift+C does not?

[burnt fossil]

what about this. Any feedback?

for sum reason the kb isnt working but eh.

[final ivy]

You can define methods which can access member variables in a class:

local Weapon = {}
Weapon.__index = Weapon

function Weapon.new(name, dmg, knockback, offset, size, ability)
  local self = setmetatable({}, Weapon)
  self.Name = name
  self.dmg = dmg
  -- ...
  self.ability = ability
  return self
end

-- You can access the parameters previously passed into new by referencing self. You just need to provide the function with the only network-derrived variable, player
function Weapon:M1(plr)
  local userId = plr.UserId
  playerStates[userId] = playerStates[userId] or { combo = 1, lastPunch = 0 }
  local state = playerStates[userId]
  -- ...
  local currentDamage = math.min(self.dmg + (state.combo - 1) * 5, maxDamage)
  HitboxModule.CreateHitbox(plr, self.hrp, currentDamage, self.kb,     self.offset, self.size, self.name, playerStates)
end

[final ivy]

This disturbs me

if mouse exists then mouse.Target implicitly exists. If mouse.target exists it implicitly has a parent and is probably a basepart

game["Run Service"] What were you cooking here bro. use game:GetService("RunService")

[fresh cloud]

someone know what is wrong here?

[burnt fossil]

lol

Im like that 😈

[main juniper]

giving someone 35 robux (we can price negotiate to 50 robux) for a script. my game is where players buy bricks to make the game lag and the bricks go in a hole. the script i want is a script where stuff in the hole disappears every 10 minutes

[fresh cloud]

bro, u is making a cash grab game that u saw on a video right?

[main juniper]

its on a video?

if it is i finna change the idea

[fresh cloud]

yes it is

[main juniper]

wait lemme search up a game that uses the idea

[fresh cloud]

in a video about a guy who made 2mil robux with a game about laggy bricks

[final ivy]

bet

[main juniper]

yeah i cant find a game with it

thx man :)
i recommend the "how to script on roblox 1" and episode 2 as well first

I have tried watching multiple tutorials but I can never understand how to put all the stuff together

[ripe plume]

I see, well it takes time to understand dw about it

[abstract kettle]

I'm looking for someone who can write code for my game. I'll give you 2500 dollars if someone can finish the game from beginning to end. If there's someone who can do it, please write me. (GOOGLE Translate i little know english)

[tribal mango]

But like after I finish the tutorials what do I do

[ripe plume]

what game? and what is your native language

[abstract kettle]

Turkish

Tycoon game

[ripe plume]

i recommend trying to think of something basic to make with what you've learned so far

ah

like a basic button tycoon or?

[abstract kettle]

Do you know steal a brainrot

hey

[ripe plume]

i know it

[abstract kettle]

yes

[ripe plume]

so you want something like that?

[abstract kettle]

I guess you won't help either

[abstract kettle]

Yes but

more different version

[ripe plume]

okay what are the differences

[abstract kettle]

How many years have you been coding?

yo so im a builder right and im tryna make this little candle's lighting part pretty much scale up like 0.1 every second then once it reaches smth it deletes and creates a copy of the original instance n then it also gets the tag of every single part with the tag lighting and then activates the function. does this need to be a local script or can it be serverside?

[ripe plume]

do it locally

ah alr

where should I start

[final ivy]

by reading and copying idk

is it that unclear

[spare mulch]

bro u are my hero, i will use it in a future

[rich gust]

nws!

ywyw!! be safe man!

[spare mulch]

i have 3 years of experience in modeling and texturing

yesterday i started scripting, i like it but u have to read a lot of docs and things like that

[wet maple]

ryne

[uneven jolt]

Okay ive seen this in a couple games now.

Is it better to have a single remote event called "Replication" and then just connect events in a table, see if it exists and if not error?

It seems Ultimate Battlgrounds, Forsaken and Project Afternight does this

[rustic crane]

like a singe remove event for the entire game?

[uneven jolt]

Yeah, I can't really explain it but it seems like they make a script where other scripts attach and disconnect functions as needed,

[wet maple]

can me have robuck?

[rustic crane]

idk too me if its made right I dont think it would be a bad thing

[wet maple]

me robuck?

[uneven jolt]

Im not smart in how data is handled going from server to client, but theoretically it wouldnt matter if it was the same event? It's only creating that one threa

[rustic crane]

there might be some networking issues tho

[uneven jolt]

I'ma read the API quickly

[final ivy]

99% sure the script dynamically manages networking objects for each module that calls into it

many frameworks do that and its common to avoid static networking objects

[rustic crane]

what are static netwokring objects?

[uneven jolt]

So is it a bad idea to do the same thing? Just one remote event, the first parameter being a function name, and then have a script be able to connect a table of functions? So when replicator is called it plays the function in the name of the table?

[final ivy]

objects you create before runtime that are "static" (unchanging) eg. a remote event in ReplicatedStorage

[final ivy]

That seems incredibly flimsy to map string indices to a table of functions

And no, you should not just use one remote event

[uneven jolt]

That's what I thought but I wanted some others opinions

[uneven jolt]

How so?

From what I've seen dictionaries in Luau are more peformant due to hashmaps

Or something idk

[final ivy]

You have to make sure the string youre passing to your remote event is actually mapped to something, you don't get any intellisense on that table etc

Why even make a table just let server scripts create endpoints

[uneven jolt]

I mean that's just a simple check to see if its nil, if not throw an error

[uneven jolt]

What do you mean by this?

[final ivy]

Write some function that dynamically creates networking objects, call it from the server to create those objects, and then replicate and attach to them on the client

That way you don't have to maintain a big table of functions

[uneven jolt]

OHHHH I get what your saying

[final ivy]

It is just bad design

[uneven jolt]

Fair enough

Thank you for the help!

[final ivy]

I believe singular networking objects also have a throughput cap and exceeding it will begin queuing requests, so if you use a single one you'll likely run into queued requests

[uneven jolt]

Yeah that's a thing I was reading

Thank you!

hi

[wary bronze]

When I say !headless and when the head disappears the overhead gui disappears

Hello

[wary bronze]

Which I’m not trying to make happen

[tribal mango]

It's probably just deleting the head which the gui is parented to 😂

[still dew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBA2L25WDcw Would it be difficult to script the swords spinning and then going upto the sky?

it's all maths so it depends on your math skills or the tools you use to help it

i don't think it's so complicated

[wet maple]

do guys make geme?

[reef nymph]

the guy also makes them stretch so it depends on ur asset too (just 1 meshpart is ideal)

for 4 yours ive been thinking about game dieas and stuff and made a story magic fighting game with tons of character development mapped out

but me have problem 🙁

me no buckroe to hire people 🙁

u halp?

roub

can u help me please?

ill stop speaking in caveman

[reef nymph]

with what

[wet maple]

ok

for 4 years ive been coming up with ideas for a story magic figbhting game

with tons of characters development

but the thing is

i have a big idea for it

and i need a whole dev team

and idk where to look

[craggy dove]

stop spamming

[wet maple]

how to pay them cuz im broke asl and no one takes %

ok sorry

do i start with making a game to get funds then work on the project?

also how do i even get a dev team

[craggy dove]

just play bitburner

[wet maple]

what

[craggy dove]

its a game on steam

[wet maple]

is that a gambling site?

[wet maple]

.

[craggy dove]

make yoself a script that automates everything 4 u so u dont have to do anything

its javascript

[wet maple]

idk how to make that script

also i want a dev team

not a robot to make the game

also im not trusting ts

[craggy dove]

oh bitburner is a game

not a tool

[wet maple]

ik

u said it

@reef nymph

hes off

nik can u help me

also i wouldent know how to set it up

[craggy dove]

bro wdym help bro

thats a whole ass project lol

[wet maple]

what would bit burner do?

[craggy dove]

im playing it rn

nice game

[wet maple]

what does it even do

[craggy dove]

its about hacking servers gaining money and xp and win the game

rebirth & unlock nnew features

[wet maple]

i dont wanna play a game bruh

[craggy dove]

welp i do

[reef nymph]

you won't build a whole dev team out of nothing

you can only do that with money or with development skills you have yourself

[wet maple]

i have no money

[reef nymph]

like a good scripter can gather other type of devs and lead the project for example

[bold current]

Start learning to code

[reef nymph]

then learn development that's your only way to gather people and make a game

be a scripter yeah

[wet maple]

im a ui maker

[bold current]

Diversify

[craggy dove]

fact actually

[bold current]

Try learning vfx or animation

[craggy dove]

show some

[wet maple]

i have nothing on me rn

[craggy dove]

hm

[wet maple]

i deleted the uis i made

the pictures

[craggy dove]

looking for a ui designer thats why lol

[wet maple]

to lazy to open studio

whats pay?

[bold current]

Thats wild

[wet maple]

wait dm me

[craggy dove]

you help me i help you lol

[violet folio]

@wet maple nobody is making your mid game idea for you

you have no skills

[craggy dove]

no just write down my name dm me when yo got pictures

[wet maple]

hush up vro

[dapper oriole]

sometimes ttts u gotta say

[wet maple]

i have skill

i know how to a code a bit

and ui

[craggy dove]

some1 playing bitburner here? what am i doing wrong i made myself a whole ass project that uses every server to hack the most efficient one and im barely making cash its taking forever to weaken that shit

[violet folio]

instead of thinking of a game idea for 4 years you could have been building it

[dapper oriole]

?

[violet folio]

if you are that passionate about it

[wet maple]

i learned scripting a few days ago vro

[violet folio]

why would anyone work for your idea (which probably isnt even good or unique) for free

[craggy dove]

bro what the fuck lol

[wet maple]

ik the basics

[reef nymph]

is that even related to roblox coding help

[violet folio]

you cant make a game with the basics

[reef nymph]

then make ur awesome amazing game

[wet maple]

ik

[reef nymph]

make it while learning

[craggy dove]

no not really

still seeking help

[dapper oriole]

no im confused what ur talkn about

[wet maple]

roub heres the problem

idk any other things

like models

[reef nymph]

best way to learn properly is to make a project that way you learn every aspect of a game aka stuff you wouldn't rly try to learn in an empty workspace

[wet maple]

and stuff

[dapper oriole]

what do u need help with

[wet maple]

im following a tutorial that someone told me to

[reef nymph]

a game doesnt need crazy models to be good, make sloppy blocky models like grow a garden etc for example it's enough to learn development

[wet maple]

alright

ill try

[reef nymph]

or find a beginner dev who learns modeling the way you're learning your stuff and team together

[dapper oriole]

we dont need more grow a gardens

[reef nymph]

having blocky models doesnt make ur game a new grow a garden fortuntaely

roblox used to be full of blocky games actually it's mostly something you do if you don't know how to model etc

[wet maple]

idk animations tho is that fine?

[dapper oriole]

roblox used to be doodoo water

[reef nymph]

same with anims you don't need insane animations to make a game

[wet maple]

joe ur jus a hater vro

alr

also

[reef nymph]

it still is

importance is game design

[dapper oriole]

u right

[wet maple]

how do u get ppl learning and playing ur game?

[reef nymph]

not game visuals

(depends on the type of game ofc)

[reef nymph]

wdym

[wet maple]

like learning about ur game

and ppl playing

whats a good game i should make first

[reef nymph]

there's various ways for that but that's more important to focus on AFTER making a game

[wet maple]

alr

[reef nymph]

tiktok / ads / youtubers etc

[dapper oriole]

buddy if u dont have the talent get friends to help make a game for free

[reef nymph]

development is not talent

[wet maple]

i have a channel with 109 subs i can record it there

[mellow notch]

Any scripters interested in joining me for Jandels gamejam that starts tomorrow? I currently have 3 people on my team including me

[reef nymph]

anyone can learn any aspect of development

[wet maple]

flobbert

[reef nymph]

it's roblox it's super easy to reach

[wet maple]

im learning scripting]

ik basic stuff very well

[dapper oriole]

u can learn how to draw stick figures and call it art

[wet maple]

i can also make the ui

[mellow notch]

Nah i need someone experienced sorry

[wet maple]

wild

[mellow notch]

And I have a ui person

[wet maple]

alr time to start learning

[dapper oriole]

i can send u learning info

[mellow notch]

I am a scripter/builder but having another scripter would help immensely with time so if anyone here has alot of experience and is interested lmk

[dapper oriole]

hiring or project ur doing in free time

[mellow notch]

Game jam

35k dollar prize pool

[dapper oriole]

im interested

[mellow notch]

20k to first place 10k to 2nd and 5k to 3rd

[torpid bane]

After 2 years of scripting you’ll be pretty goated, try to focus on math in school and use khan academy to learn math online from basic arithmetic to integrated math 1, 2, and 3 and calculus plus physics.

[reef nymph]

tbh with the amount of tools for it idk if you even gotta learn math that much anymore to have great results from your scripting

depends very much on the type of scripter u wanna be tho yeah

[craggy dove]

i actually bad at math

i use chatgpt for math mostly, its rare to see me doing maths

[flint turret]

chatgpt is dog shit at math

besides maybe basic hs algebra

[craggy dove]

idk didnt encounter bad stuff yet tbh - also did 90% of my backend with chatgpt tbh lol

[reef nymph]

i doubt there's much math logics you'd need in a roblox game that a 2025 GPT ai can't do tbh loll

but if its simple stuff its better to learn urself eitherway

[flint turret]

oh i thought he meant in genera

yeah okay

[reef nymph]

o yea nah

i have no clue how good chatgpt is at it in general

[stable verge]

Is there any requirements?

[violet folio]

no

[stable verge]

oh thats nice

[verbal coral]

yo bro roblox not having matrix and tensor libraries is genuinely so troll 🙏

like i genuinely cant solve any physics problem, making anything realistic is way more difficult compared to other game engines

you cant even find the angular momentum of a rigid body bro ts is so cooked

[mellow notch]

Yea the character controller could be better (more customizable or easier to work with)

Like the motor6ds on the roblox r6 character are reversed from the direction they should be for no reason

[sudden estuary]

tool grip

adjust it

[sudden estuary]

is that the adjusted tool grip

[wintry ore]

yes

[sudden estuary]

are you sure?

[sudden estuary]

i don;t use that plugin

but are u setting the tool grip to the actual tool

[supple pecan]

Make it brainrot fedora book now ur actually making money twin❤️‍🩹✌️

[civic nymph]

can sum1 help, i have no idea what to do

[rigid willow]

i hope whoever added this limitation fucking dies

[fading ermine]

what r some good plugins for scripting?

[rigid willow]

just use vscode

[fading ermine]

what does it do

[rigid willow]

search on youtube

how to use rojo

[fading ermine]

k

[fading ermine]

rojo?

ah i see

[fervent belfry]

Tag » Why External Editors

The benefits of using external editors over the Roblox Studio editor:

• Snippets (built-in) - type a few characters and generate commonly-used concepts or script templates

• Symbol renaming (built-in) - easily rename a variable in a specific block/scope/everywhere

• Workspaces (mostly built-in) - switch between games as easily as you would in studio, just double-click a workspace file

• Extensions (support built-in) - custom file icons, AI-enhanced autocomplete, rename multiple files at once (super easy with above)

• Rojo - sync changes from your folder to your Roblox place

• Option to use TypeScript as a language alternative (only notable language alternative as of 22nd July 2022)

• Use text files/extensions for taking notes/planning instead of multi-line comments stuffed in modules

• External tooling - Moonwave (documentation generator), Wally/Foreman (Roblox package manager), etc.

• Transparent windows - for appearance/utility's sake

[fading ermine]

but why shoulsnt i use studio an vscode

[fading ermine]

thanks

[fading ermine]

but aren’t all these features in studio?

[strange kiln]

Thus just doesn’t seem very useful

They add like one or two meh features

[fiery gale]

the typescript one's cool tho

[solar acorn]

i prefer rblx studio over rojo

[fading ermine]

whats type script 💀💀💀

[solar acorn]

basically it tells you what specific instance is

that can be done in roblox too

e.g

local part = Instance.new("Part") :: Part

It helps when theres a bunch of instances to keep track of, otherwise its logical and unnecessary in my opinion

[fading ermine]

so u dont have to go through the code to see what it does?

[solar acorn]

kind of

[fading ermine]

is it another language?

cz i remeber smh like this in js

[solar acorn]

I'd say it can be classified as one? However, I am not really sure. Never really used or paid attention to it. But yeah, similar to JS one.

[fading ermine]

nice

Gotta learn this and oop

😭

im doomed

[solar acorn]

I've been scripting for like 3 years and never bothered to learn oop 💔

[fading ermine]

💔

im too deep in to quit

[solar acorn]

same bro same

[fading ermine]

i jus want to make a game gotta learn all this 😭🙏

[supple pecan]

I rather use functions any day❤️‍🩹✌️

[solar acorn]

same

[severe cobalt]

https://roblox.github.io/lua-style-guide/

metatables section does a good job at explaining oop.. its more of an overview than indepth but shows enough to learn it

[neat sigil]

Roblox oop isn’t really oop

[junior pier]

sunk cost fallacy 🔥

[neat sigil]

Oop is such a simple concept

[neat sigil]

Makes u Able to auto complete thing on ur object

Like how :destroy gets auto filled if u type it on a part

[severe cobalt]

still oop, makes an "object" and assigns properties to it, hence self

[neat sigil]

Compare it to actual oop

You’ll know what I mean

[severe cobalt]

No, I dont, because its still OOP. It's assigns a property to an object, thats object oriented programming. Same concept with classes in Java.

[pallid furnace]

`local function breakTree(model)
CollectionService:RemoveTag(model, "Destructible")

local parts = table.create(16) -- preallocate a small table to reduce GC
for _, part in ipairs(model:GetDescendants()) do
    if part:IsA("BasePart") then
        parts[#parts + 1] = part
    end
end

task.defer(function()
    for i = 1, #parts do
        parts[i].CanCollide = false
    end
end)

task.defer(function()
    for i = 1, #parts do
        local part = parts[i]
        local pos = part.Position
        local tween = TweenService:Create(part, TWEEN_INFO, {
            Position = pos - DROP_VECTOR
        })
        tween:Play()
    end
end)

end`

is this good chat? i want it to be very fast

[severe cobalt]

The object in this case is a table, often in a module script. The table works the same as a class in concept

[neat sigil]

[neat sigil]

table.create(16)?

Lol?

[pallid furnace]

its better

[severe cobalt]

you can inherit other tables btw

[neat sigil]

Bro look what he’s doing

[junior pier]

i guess but he meant its just emulating oop

[neat sigil]

#Parts

#parts is 1 in this case

How u want that to wirk

Work

[severe cobalt]

No, its OOP. Not emulating, it is.

[junior pier]

oop is not native on roblox luau

you have to emulate it via metatables and metamethods

no?

[pure flame]

ye

not real oop

[severe cobalt]

Tables are used to do OOP. In memory, they're the same exact thing as classes in Java.

I can extend a class, I can inherit a table. Putting a table in a table does not clone the table. If I use table.clone, then modify a table thats inside it, itll change on both tables.

To clone it, you have to use recursion https://create.roblox.com/docs/luau/tables#deep-clones

I make a table and give it properties, same as making a class and giving it properties.

If I put a table in a table, its the same as a class in a class. It references the object.

This is object oriented programming.

[severe cobalt]

OOP can't be native because its not a language feature, its a style of programming.

I can do the same thing in rust by deep nesting arrays.

[frail yarrow]

Its actual oop

[frail yarrow]

Yes it is

[frail yarrow]

Is real oop

[junior pier]

a programming paradigm yes

it can be natively supported by C# for example

yes it essentially does the same thing in memory

[frail yarrow]

Languages can have features which implement OOP

Metatables are that

[junior pier]

which means its not natively supported

[junior pier]

you are right

[severe cobalt]

Natively supported in this context means supported by the language. If a languages "implements OOP" its natively supported.

OOP can be done by nesting arrays, as i mentioned, which would still mean its natively supported.

Metatables are a better supported way of doing OOP.

It comes shipped with Luau... which means its natively supported.

Where in the world did "its not natively supported" even come from?

Luau is a fork of Lua 5.1 (iirc) maintained by Roblox. It's not Lua, its Luau, its own language

[junior pier]

native in this context means it is built in

so if it is native (e.g. C#) you do not need a workaround implementation

the compiler also enforces oop features as opposed to in luau where you have to manually build them

take public, private, protected for example. these keywords are built in for C# but we have to manually implement them in luau

[cinder sapphire]

Who has a good game that needs a investor

[snow hemlock]

what is the best way to learn scripting

[rigid willow]

practice

[golden yoke]

another tiktok scripter classic

[golden yoke]

taking really bad scripted free models from toolbox and making them clean with few adjustments to code or just making it work the way u want to, this helped me the most out of all the tutorials and AI and ofher methods

[severe cobalt]

are metatables not built in to luau?

also in luau private and public are local function and function. Use local function for what you dont want viewable outside the module.

[junior pier]

engagement bait

[junior pier]

yes, but were talking about oop features, not metatables. metatables are USED to simulate oop

[golden yoke]

u also take ideas of how ppl script shi for different things cus from my experience, creativity is REALLY important to make good script

[verbal rover]

Hey can someone help me, can a exploiter access a module in serverscriptservice? It seems like they can call a function inside it, the module only connected with marketplace handler, IMG3 example function

[junior pier]

what ab protected? u have to implement it manually no

[golden yoke]

exploiters dont have access to anythijg in serverside

[severe cobalt]

Not simulate, it IS OOP. You're acting like OOP is a language feature, its a design paradigm

[verbal rover]

Ah they call the functions tho 😭 Thanks

[junior pier]

that still doesnt mean oop is native to luau

[severe cobalt]

the concept of package hierarchy doesn't exist in Luau, theres no need for protected.

You could fake it using multiple tables but I cant think of a reason to.

[junior pier]

and thats why luau doesnt have native support for oop

[golden yoke]

i dont think any exploiter has ever accessed any deeper than workspace and starterplayer

[severe cobalt]

Its not. Its not native to anything. Its a design paradigm. Compilers may try to enforce it.

Package hierarchy is irrelevant to OOP. This is an incredibly stupid point.

[junior pier]

hahh okay

ur really nitpicking here

[severe cobalt]

these are the core principles of OOP. These are all doable in Luau. Not anywhere does it say package hierarchy

[junior pier]

how about luau doesnt have any native constructs that enforces oop

for example class or interface

ill redefine native as having native constructs that enforces the oop principles

[severe cobalt]

Doesn't mean its being simulated or emulated.

Take this for example. I can force an artist to draw in a certain art style for a commission, but are they simulating it? No, they're drawing it.

Same concept

[junior pier]

okay, but its not “native” to them

they have to take more time to draw it or cant draw it perfectly in this example

[severe cobalt]

You cant redefine terms when you want, thats not how it works. Native means supported, at the base level.

[junior pier]

okay i’ll admit oop is not native to any language

[severe cobalt]

These are OOP concepts. They can all be done in Luau. Again, going back to the original point, its not "simulating" OOP.

[neat sigil]

Are we still talking about this 1 hour later

LOL

[severe cobalt]

I was gone for like idk 45-50 mins

[junior pier]

it is simulating oop

in the sense that in e.g. c#, the compiler enforces oop principles

[severe cobalt]

Its Object Oriented Programming.

[junior pier]

hm

[junior pier]

yes

ur right actually

my brain is just fried

its a programming paradigm not a lang feature

[blazing leaf]

Yall wth was this discussion

[last lion]

Guys , how do you rotate a part 45 degrees to the left

[sour vine]

-45

[ocean ferry]

Hewwo guys, someone knows a lot abt welding?

I need some feedback/help im stuck on smth for always 10 hours 🔥

[sour vine]

what u want

[ocean ferry]

i have this problem called i want do stable weld of 2 models in same folder without fusion them into same model + they have humanoid properties so its giving me a headche

[south sigil]

Ktoś z Polski jest tu?/ is here people from Poland?

[sour vine]

u have to release the parts inside workspace, weld them, then re-enter them inside their models

[ocean ferry]

Uh yea but its on scripting.

Because its an thing wo player will ride by inputs

And yes i tried disabling CanCollide, massless and PlatformStand

[sour vine]

then idk, what i do is make a seperate version of ur car model whatever then clone it, u can try to weld them and search for disable propriety in the weld

[ocean ferry]

I think a visual example will show how fu$$ed i am

[sour vine]

it aint loading

[slender crater]

local CheckpointsFolder = game.Workspace.Checkpoints

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player

local Stage = Instance.new("IntValue")
Stage.Name = "Stage"
Stage.Parent = leaderstats

end)

for _, v in pairs(CheckpointsFolder:GetChildren()) do

    if not v:IsA("BasePart") then    
v.Touched:Connect(function(Part)
    
    local player = Player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Part.Parent)
    local stageValue = player.leaderstats.Stage
    
            if player and stageValue.Value < tonumber(v.Name) then
                
            stageValue.value = V.Name
            
        end
    end)
end

end

ServerScriptService.CheckPoint Script:4: attempt to index nil with 'PlayerAdded' - Server - CheckPoint Script:4
This keeps popping up can anybody help me I just started scripting about a hour ago

[somber vault]

Is there a free pathfinding module I can use, instead of roblox bad one?
