tf is this

[fallow yoke]

Wow

Looks like its made thousands of usd

[left apex]

lf someone to script this, dm me with quote

[jovial surge]

is there anyone that needs a scripter for free? to help me build up my portfolio

[left apex]

are u able to do the thing above

[jovial surge]

whats the timer for?

[left apex]

player needs to play for 5 minutes before unlocking access to the gear

[jovial surge]

sounds simple enough

sure

[ruby cipher]

any good coder want 80$?

[somber vault]

$$$

[bold hound]

For 80$ it’s worth just submitting a post in #scripter-hiring

[ruby cipher]

nah idk if this against the tos of hd

it involves reverse engineering

im only paying 80$ cause i need this bad

[somber vault]

perhaps i could be of help if you could give me some info about it in dms

yo, i wanna make a module that can move a ton of bones very fast, i don't rlly have any goal in mind but i thought it'd be cool to move folliage, trees or smth
any tips as to how i'll be able to optimize this?

cuz i heard that moving a ton of bones is extremely hard

[strong willow]

What Studio setting turns this off? It's done nothing except annoy me while I try to read stuff on the line above the one I'm working on as I go.

It doesn't even do anything useful.

[severe venture]

thanks! and yessirrr thats the plan

not really sure how to do it myself though

[rain hound]

yo is anybody here experienced with ugc/uploading ugc

[devout plinth]

Does referencing a table as a variable store the updated table correctly?

local PlayerPoops = PlayerPoops[player.UserId]
local nextPoop = table.remove(PlayerPoops, 1)

Or should I do this?

local PlayerPoops = PlayerPoops[player.UserId]
local nextPoop = table.remove(PlayerPoops[player.UserId], 1)

[hoary wing]

what the

the first ones fine man

[devout plinth]

yeah thought it was i was buggin

[hoary wing]

easy to get mixed up I had that problem when I was learning before

all good

[devout plinth]

I didn't know if it passed by reference or pass the actual value

[hoary wing]

good rule of thumb is to get a new table no matter how many times or where it's referenced you have to either clone it or have it passed through server and client

[devout plinth]

thats what i was getting mixed up on

[noble mesa]

yo

[hoary wing]

👍

[pastel slate]

for daily rewards and playtime rewards which framework is better? os or DateTime?

[hoary wing]

os

[pastel slate]

alr thanks

[noble mesa]

i was wondering to achieve that, do they use a billboard gui + rich text, i dont think its possible to do this with DisplayName, but it looks so similar to it.

[pastel slate]

I thought DateTime wouldve been better since its newer

alr

[wicked relic]

What are you talking about rn?

[hoary wing]

datetime has more functions I believe but none that are necessary for rewards at all

[wicked relic]

What is os?

[pastel slate]

ok

[noble mesa]

the title system

do u think they use a billboard gui?

[hoary wing]

yeah that looks like a billboardgui the way its clipping that guys hat

[pastel slate]

the os library that uses os.time(), os.clock() and more. Devs use it for playtime rewards and daily rewards

[noble mesa]

damn what font do they use, it looks so similar to the original humanoid display name font

[hoary wing]

i think they have health display on, name display off and a billboardgui on the head

looks like source sans pro

let me check

[wicked relic]

Oh okay thanks

[pastel slate]

yw

[shrewd python]

I want to make a part to orbit around a player, How can I do that?

[nova yarrow]

sin and cos

[shrewd python]

what's a sin and cos?

[pastel slate]

Angular Velocity, I think

[nova yarrow]

some and cosine

sine

[pastel slate]

trig functions

[nova yarrow]

math.sin, math.cos

[shrewd python]

oh ok

[hallow flume]

math.rad

[hoary wing]

@noble mesa

[hallow flume]

or trig functions

[noble mesa]

was thinking the same, but when i test it, it feels a bit off, maybe they use it with extra light weight

[scarlet kestrel]

What's the best way to make a ball character? One that can roll when it moves.

[noble mesa]

bet ty

[hoary wing]

😎 👍

[hallow flume]

think you'd have to change the character property of the player as soon as they join

maybe add a few things to the ball character

like humanoids and stuff

[hoary wing]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/how-to-make-the-starter-character-a-ball-that-rolls/434504

[scarlet kestrel]

yea I agree, So how do you get the ball rolling?

[scarlet kestrel]

Thanks

[hoary wing]

bodyforce

p sure its depracated but vectorforce or whatever the heck the new thing is works just as well

and its p much the exact same thing

[hallow flume]

ya

[hoary wing]

you can get movedirection from the humanoid

and just set your players character to the ball and the cam to the ball

let me know if you make something cool because ball games are fun no diddy

[hallow flume]

youd probably want to destroy the character and

disable respawning

nvm wouldnt be necesaary if it's starterchar

[scarlet kestrel]

Sure

[scarlet kestrel]

Yea

StarterCharacter required

[scarlet kestrel]

I didn't know Bodyforce could turn something

[hoary wing]

its a ball it rolls

[scarlet kestrel]

I only knew angular velocity for this

[hoary wing]

nah use body force the ball will roll by itself as long as it has weight

[scarlet kestrel]

This is good

I'll try this thank you

If a good result comes out, I will share it with you. @hoary wing

[bold hound]

BodyForce is deprecated. But still better to use than the new alternative, in my opinion.

[hoary wing]

woooo

[scarlet kestrel]

So why was it deprecated then?

[bold hound]

Personally, roblox usually makes shit decisions.

Nothing common.

[worldly sonnet]

question, im trying to make it so u can mine trees with an axe, ive made it so it can be random sizes but when i mine the tree and the tree goes into the players inventory and it the size is bigger, its like really squished, in studio it scales up properly, does anyone know how to fix this?

[scarlet kestrel]

Yes, Roblox is very good at this.

[fair copper]

whats the best way i could make a groundsmash anim, like after jump it snaps the player into the ground on an input

i tried impulse

its just uncontrollable

[strange bobcat]

anyone in here make thumbnails?

[scarlet kestrel]

ApplyImpulse is weird

[fair copper]

whats a better alternative, say i wanna make my character follow a parabolic path

but also control its speed of descent

i have a parabolicarc function in my modules

so thats no problem calculating

i tried linear velocity it makes my player glitch the map

[scarlet kestrel]

Maybe linearvelocity

[fair copper]

[scarlet kestrel]

[fair copper]

hey thats some cool vfx

[scarlet kestrel]

@fair copper I used applyimpulse here but as you can see it runs a little late

[fair copper]

im just spending my time on backend

[scarlet kestrel]

I think both are important

[fair copper]

yeah im just not adding any effects until i get my backend just right

def looks cool tho

i keep getting new vfx every now n then

[scarlet kestrel]

Can you send me a video of your problem?

[scarlet kestrel]

Yes, vfx is nice, I want to learn how to do vfx too

[fair copper]

im learning to combine vfx + script

lolol

[fair copper]

its fine im think im cooking for now

[scarlet kestrel]

Cool

[scarlet kestrel]

Which physics will you use?

[fair copper]

im calculating the distance for the player to land

and switching between bodyvelocity and impulse based on that

it seems to have the best results at the moment

[scarlet kestrel]

nice

I think it works fine on the Apply impulse client.

[fair copper]

yeah

[fair copper]

i need to play around with different things

its fine right

raw stuff

[scarlet kestrel]

Good work!

[tough lance]

Can someone help me?

I keep getting this warning after playing for 4:30 minutes straight in my game

[scarlet kestrel]

is this a rpg game?

[fair copper]

for now im just controlling its descent speed based on distance

[fair copper]

yeah rogue

rpg

[scarlet kestrel]

Good

@fair copper Check your dm

[somber vault]

i just make my walk animation in moon animator
now
how can i put it on roblox?
like for the player

[empty fulcrum]

How do I prevent players from ragdolling after say hitting a wall at high speeds. Is there a way to make it so they don’t bounce off at all?

[frank socket]

yes boss?

[scarlet kestrel]

It might work if you instantly slow down their walking speed when they hit the wall and then bring it back to normal walkspeed.

[devout plinth]

this was wrong it does pass value not reference i needed the other way for it to save

[neat mauve]

make them sticky

[devout plinth]

when i referenced the table later the new values weren't inserted when i did it the second way they were

[vocal vortex]

camera shake knockin on the door

[subtle gorge]

ts is pretty tuff

[vocal vortex]

why not js use raycast for hit detection

ur hitboxing sometimes doesent work as shown in the beginning of the vid

not hating js sayin

[tawny summit]

how much?

[gloomy kraken]

No he should use spacial querying

Which im assuming he's already using

[vocal vortex]

hes litarally js spawning parts on the weapon itself and using getpartsin part or getpartsboundinbox

same thing as raycast

[royal moth]

so

[gloomy kraken]

No???

[royal moth]

function while loop ("wait 10 second then dance"

what the fuck is coding about bro

[gloomy kraken]

What the skid?

[vocal vortex]

gng what

[gloomy kraken]

Are you ragebaiting silent?

[vocal vortex]

litarally achieving the same thing w 2 diff methods

wtf u mean

[royal moth]

lock in

[gloomy kraken]

Tf you mean same

[vocal vortex]

are u deadass

[gloomy kraken]

Raycast hits only one part vro

And its so thin

[vocal vortex]

i meant raycast hitbox

not js a single raycast

i think u misunderstood

[gloomy kraken]

Why not just use getpartsboundinbox once?

[vocal vortex]

bec as shown in the vid he needs accurate weapon hit detection

getpartsboundinbox js doesent cut it for him ig idk bruh its all situational

stupid ass convo

[gloomy kraken]

Does bro even know what it even does 🥀

[vocal vortex]

0 outta 10 ragebait right there

do better nulatic.

[gloomy kraken]

Yeah nah i cant be bothered to argue with an idiot

[glad apex]

GunHandler.cast = function(gun, endPos: Vector3, force)
    local BulletSpawn = gun.BulletSpawn
    
    local Bullet = RepStorage.Bullets:FindFirstChild("Bullet"):Clone()
    local spawnPos = BulletSpawn.Position
    local direction = (endPos - spawnPos).Unit
    local forward = BulletSpawn.CFrame.LookVector

    -- is bullet pointing backwards
    if direction:Dot(forward) < 0 then
        direction = forward
    end

    Bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(spawnPos, spawnPos + direction)
    Bullet.Parent = workspace.Bullets
    
    Bullets[Bullet] = {
        TimeElapsed = 0,
        StartPos = Bullet.Position,
        Gun = gun,
        Force = force,
        EndPos = spawnPos + direction * 1000,
        DespawnTime = 4
    }
end
``` (endpos is mouse.hit)

so the bullet spawns at the tip of the guns barrel but sometimes the gun goes inside a wall or something and the barrel becomes IN FRONT of mouse.hit causing the bullet to go backwards, how do i fix this? the dot doesnt work

oh then ggs

[sour yew]

i bought some website but idk how to set it up

[white wigeon]

dont u learn that in skl?

[granite summit]

never recommend someone videos, the best way to learn is creation, follow tutorials break code or enhance it, also take only courses and certifications to prove mastery.

[craggy sleet]

tutorials are nice for setting groundwork, but blindly following them without the intent to learn will screw you over

[granite summit]

Yes but people take watch certain channels as finish their entire series which is a huge waste and slows down progression.

When making systems do you guys plan everything ahead or just raw through each bug and any issue that may come up?

[thorn arch]

Something in between

If you try to run head first into it you're gonna spend 90% of your time debugging

If you try to plan it out perfectly, you'll never finish it

thanks that worked

[valid coyote]

one day later is crazy

[bronze gate]

broski im in the gmt timezone

thats like after i slept

[valid coyote]

bet

[mighty bolt]

guys what would u say is the best way to learn scripting

[bronze gate]

youtube tutorials and just doing it

[mighty bolt]

but ppl told me that youtube tutorials is bad if thats the only thing u do

[bronze gate]

there's not just one way to learn bud

if you're new to scripting thats a really good way to start, then look at the documentation once you start progressing

[mighty bolt]

what documentation?

[bitter harbor]

I can tell you my trick

watch brawldev

he is the best yt

[mighty bolt]

i am

[bitter harbor]

yeah

[mighty bolt]

im on ep 14

but everyone tells me its to late to start

how many years have u scripted?

[bitter harbor]

its like roblox doc but someones explains to you

[bitter harbor]

not long ago

3 months

and i can code every system

from fishing system plot systems to fps games

[mighty bolt]

but what do they mean with roblox doc

in roblox studio?

[bitter harbor]

no

roblox dev forum

[hearty urchin]

what do u guys think would be the top 5 things in scripting that i should try to fully understand and master

[mighty bolt]

well how did you learn to script?

[bitter harbor]

module scripts

[mighty bolt]

adem

[bitter harbor]

yes

[mighty bolt]

how did u learn scripting?

[bitter harbor]

youtube

[mighty bolt]

did u js watch youtube?

nothing else?

[bitter harbor]

and

for data save

i used roblox doc

[mighty bolt]

im sorry for asking again, but where can i gind roblox doc

find*

[bitter harbor]

write in google roblox

next to roblox

write

what you want to learn

[mighty bolt]

scripting?

[bitter harbor]

and there should be a link to roblox dev forum

[mighty bolt]

oh thxx

[bitter harbor]

like variables tween services etc

[hearty urchin]

whenever you finished an episode how did u practice the scripts? Because i cant think of anything to script after learning a new concept or something

[bitter harbor]

np and good luck

[bitter harbor]

use those scripts for smth else

[mighty bolt]

did u do that?

[bitter harbor]

yeah

btw

[hearty urchin]

currently on ep 4 on the advanced series

[bitter harbor]

nice

good job

[mighty bolt]

how much robux have u earned from scripting?

[bitter harbor]

i stopped

[mighty bolt]

oh why

[bitter harbor]

i don’t have a laptop rn

[mighty bolt]

ohh kkk

how old r u?

[bitter harbor]

13

[mighty bolt]

nicee

[hearty urchin]

dang

[bitter harbor]

lol

[mighty bolt]

but did u earn any sort of robux before quiting

[hearty urchin]

now im fr feeling too old for ts

[bitter harbor]

i was making my own game

and some commissions

about 10k

[mighty bolt]

is it published?

damn nice

[bitter harbor]

not yet

its a fishing game

[mighty bolt]

imma be the first person to play

[bitter harbor]

i need to raise more than 50k from commissions

[bitter harbor]

thanks

[mighty bolt]

what commissions?

[bitter harbor]

scripting

[mighty bolt]

sorry for asking this mutch man

[bitter harbor]

no dw lol

[mighty bolt]

like hiring scripting?

[bitter harbor]

yes

[mighty bolt]

nice

[bitter harbor]

i choose the easiest ones

to finish faster

[mighty bolt]

how do u know wich one is easy

[bitter harbor]

They tell you what you need to do

[mighty bolt]

and how do you do so u dont get scammed

[bitter harbor]

i don’t think they scam

maybe sometimes

[mighty bolt]

so how do u do it

[bitter harbor]

ask for proof

[mighty bolt]

like do the script and then they send robux and u send their scripts?

[bitter harbor]

and you test them

[mighty bolt]

kkk

thxxx

[bitter harbor]

btw

for beginner series

[mighty bolt]

i friend requested btw

[bitter harbor]

it’s important

are very important

[mighty bolt]

bye 😄

[bitter harbor]

i did

[opaque isle]

yo is doing scripting commissions worth it idk

[bitter harbor]

yeah

[hearty urchin]

probably if u dont have anything else to do

[opaque isle]

i don't doubt my abilities or anything but do ppl actually commission scripters other than kids

[bitter harbor]

no scripting commissions pay a lot

[opaque isle]

i guess it'd be more like short term on and off for a game?

not just one module or smth lol

[hearty urchin]

depends on what they need

[opaque isle]

yea, is this server any good for that stuff?

[hearty urchin]

oh yes this is the best server for it

i think also the most popular one

[opaque isle]

oh alr

cool

ty, ill look into it

[kind pond]

guys do u need a map built

DM me if u do

[potent maple]

What's good way to gradually decrease sound volume?

repeat 
  sound.Volume = sound.Volume - 0.1
  task.wait(0.1)
until sound.Volume == 0

[errant girder]

Are there anyway to protect our game from getting stolen?

[potent maple]

like this maybe?

[errant girder]

From what I remember, volume doesn't increase in a linear scale

[potent maple]

by hackers?

[crisp storm]

uh just make sure u dont have backdoors ig? other than exploits have saveinstance but it doesn't save server scripts so... u don't rlly have to do anything

[sudden estuary]

until they reverse engineer the server script from the local script 💔

[crisp storm]

i mean exploits have a decompiler

but it doesn't work for server scripts

so no u should be fine

[sudden estuary]

thats not what im talking about

[crisp storm]

wym then

[sudden estuary]

reverse engineer the server script from the local script

[crisp storm]

exploiters dont have access to server

[sudden estuary]

they don't obv

how do you think those front page games modded version comes to action

[crisp storm]

leaked prob idk lol?

[sudden estuary]

they steal the game, then create the server side

from the local script

[crisp storm]

uh um no u cant use local scripts to get server scripts

best they can do is just do saveinstance

[sudden estuary]

💔

[crisp storm]

and script the server by themselves

[sudden estuary]

thats exactly what i said

3 times

[crisp storm]

?

[sudden estuary]

yes?

[crisp storm]

thats not what u meant at apl

all

[sudden estuary]

what do you think reverse engineer means

[crisp storm]

do u know what reverse engineering mean

[sudden estuary]

do you know?

[errant girder]

So not much point in trying to protect assets from being stolen

Damn

[sudden estuary]

nope

there r some injector detectors that people often flex ehre, but I have no idea how those works

[crisp storm]

in this case reverse engineering would be literally accessing game's server scripts somehow, decrypting it, deobfuscating it then returning it as readable code

[errant girder]

he meant scripting the game from scratch

[open yarrow]

hes just meaning they steal the clientside then create the server side themselves

[sudden estuary]

no, you evaluate the client script and you can somewhat predict whats on the server

not exactly, but it helps

[crisp storm]

then thats not reverse engineering

[sudden estuary]

it is

if you get access to server script, its not reverse engineer you already got the files

whats more to reverse engineer there

[open yarrow]

technically it isn't afaik but im fairly sure it's close enough taht you can consider it that

[crisp storm]

this ^

its not exactly reverse engineering

[open yarrow]

its close enough that you can basically call it reverse engineering though

[sudden estuary]

well obviously, but you can obviously understand what i meant from my statement

[open yarrow]

no real point arguing about it

[sudden estuary]

yeah fair

[open yarrow]

i think i have one of those copies of forsaken with recreated server somewhere in my downloads

its pretty funny

[crisp storm]

pretty much

[open yarrow]

ya no real point

if ur game blows up, chances are your assets will be stolen

you have copyright for a reason

[crisp storm]

just dmca

if that happens

[willow sapphire]

thx bro

[simple saddle]

guys looking for a scripter for a squid game im making the game is done i just need help with bug fixing and i need to release

[delicate nest]

Yo real question
In my fighting game, I'm planning to have my "ragdoll" being handled by my own physics.
This means that ill have to update velocities through using an instance, consistently change and calculate values (for example, handling gravity and such)
Would it be smarter to do this in the server or the client?
im assuming server for safety and consistency but I dont wna lag the server out if like 30 instances need to be calculated and changed and such

[desert horizon]

waste of resources.

[delicate nest]

thats what I was thinking

I think just applying a bodyposition for x amount of time should work how i wanted either way

[desert horizon]

and it aint gonna look better either way.

just use constraints

that roblox provides

[delicate nest]

Looking at that now

Thanks gang

[cloud ridge]

Uh please answer

Pretty new and i want to make a combat system so could i use a bool value to check if the player id blocking or nah? If so what should i do instead (basically is there ahy other way to do what im trying to or not)

[modest owl]

dms

[delicate nest]

theres quite a few ways but the simplest is just having the client tell the server its blocking through a remote event
even though they'll be some initial delay based on ping its fine

[dark yoke]

send remote to server if you press the block key

[cloud ridge]

Ah any like disadvantage the bool value “method” has as its much easier

[dark yoke]

what do you mean by using a bool value bro
you'd still need to use inputs

[delicate nest]

i think hes on about like setting a value to true when blocking based on inputs and false when not blocking

[cloud ridge]

Yes

[delicate nest]

lets use like 5% of our brain here

[dark yoke]

but even then you still need to tell the server
a boolvalue is pointless here 😭

[delicate nest]

not really pointless but certainly a way of telling the server they're blocking

especially since the guy is rlly new

[dark yoke]

hold F -> send remote event with true as a statement
stop holding F -> send remote event with false as a statement
vs.
hold F -> ???
He'd still need to send a remote event regardless it just feels like extra steps

cause its not like changing bool values locally replicates to the server

[delicate nest]

Thats exactly what I said

[delicate nest]

^

[cloud ridge]

Yh ty for the help

[delicate nest]

No worries gng

[ivory sundial]

guys is there any good scripters for front end ?

i need an experienced scripter . i pay usd through paypal

[cloud ridge]

#scripter-hirable

[devout latch]

is there a max resource amount that analytics service can log for an economy? e.g. if someone earns 1 septillion of a currency will the amount displayed be capped at a number or actually show 1 septillion (or another larger number)? I'm logging economy events for a game where players can earn that much currency and it's capping out at 100e20/100 quintillion exactly so I'm wondering if there is something wrong with my code or it's just too much currency

Can't find anything on docs about this or forums

[blazing oasis]

is it a merging game

[somber vault]

is there anyone down to help me on a game 50/50 share, its a simulator should be pretty easy to make and should make some

[oblique crescent]

dms

[flint brook]

hi who here is a map builder and can help me

the game i wil be making will boom

[fair copper]

wrong chat

[flint brook]

where to go?

oh

[devout latch]

omg how'd u know?!?!?!?

[thin nova]

dawg asking for help on making malicious scripts 😢

trust guys its only my cookie

[wild kiln]

Does anyone know a mid to advanced scripter who can make a game like Trade Tower?

[somber vault]

hello #skid-discussion

[fallen summit]

why does it look so scared

[errant girder]

Anyone know what im doing wrong. I'm trying to make a stun skill that completely stop a player movement

tried chatgpt but no use lol

[tranquil wave]

yo can someone give me an idea that could possibly need a script that needs 200+ lines after all blank spaces are removed

[tropic coral]

A lot of your variables aren’t defined in your functions:
humanoid
targetCharacter
castPosition
affectedCharacters

You need to define those first if the script is going to function

[coarse wraith]

does he know the cookie is only valid of 10 minutes before it gets reset?

[thin nova]

it lasts until you log out

[coarse wraith]

i heard it resets every 10 mins

bru idk never messed with that shit

[coarse wraith]

you dont have a variable called humanoid

[tropic coral]

He has 4 undefined variables

[coarse wraith]

i didint even see the second ss

😭

also why is there a function to restore movement when you already have a task.delay for that

[tropic coral]

Oh yeah

Well instead of the function it should be task.delay(STUN_DURATION, restoreMovement)

Or just not having a separate function for restoring movement

[potent maple]

It's working so

[topaz horizon]

Is there a way to detect what word a player says during a voice chat for example, triggering an event when the player says a specific word through voice chat

[tropic coral]

currently i dont think so, that seems like it could have some privacy concerns

[grave geyser]

Hey guys,

I'm using the assets API to create and upload some assets (cube map PNGs): /assets/v1/assets

In the response I get asset IDs, so far so good. But I would like to assign those asset IDs in the project in Roblox Studio. But the thing is when I do that my assets aren't displayed. It seems that IDs aren't right. Only when I go to inventory inside Roblox Studio and copy the asset ID there I see they have different IDs from the one that are publicly available and returned from the API. And when I use those IDs from the inventory then the cube maps are displayed.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there a way to get those Inventory Asset IDs through some API by passing the Assets IDs that are returned from the API initially? Or should I be looking for some other approach? Any advice is appreciated.

[prisma egret]

do u also pay with v bucks?

[sudden estuary]

how exactly are u using the api

i had a similar issue with developer products long back

it had 2 different ids like in your case

you could be getting the operation id [this is create asset response]

you gotta use https://apis.roblox.com/assets/v1/operations/{operationId} with the operation id you received

then if the operation is succesful you could find the assetid along with it

[fair copper]

use a heartbeat and make a module for movement locking and unlocking

so u call, like MovementLocker.lock() and MovementLocker.unlock() when ur player meets those conditions like for stun, u would wait for a couple seconds, which u can also define in a configuration module and take that value, so what happens is,
on stun, ur character's movement is locked and it waits for the defined duration and does the unlock

although heartbeat is a bit aggressive to use but it works

dont use anchor

[delicate nest]

Anyone know if changing physical properties has any effects on welds or anything like that

[hushed basin]

ill do it if u pay me good

$10k usd for the entire game lmk

[elder sparrow]

now how the FREAK

[fair copper]

what is that

[elder sparrow]

why doesnt the rigs anim work

[grave geyser]

Hey, thanks for looking into this. Yeah, I'm using the operationId to retrieve that actual ID. But in the end that asset ID is different than when you right click on the file in Roblox studio inventory and then click "Copy Asset ID" button.

And this is the only ID I'm able to use without issues in Roblox Studio.

[elder sparrow]

@grave geyser

[tired stag]

guys how do i make less drag on my character in roblox studio i tried in a local script cframe but it was glitchy when i stop and stuff like that

[frosty kiln]

try using tween service

[tired stag]

bro

thx i guess but that is not going to be very physics based

if i jump or something i will float

[frosty kiln]

oh yeah

umm

gl with that

[empty mulch]

@manic rover wsggg still scripting?

[cold heron]

Should be under the response field. Im using the API for about the same usage and the assetIds from there work for me. Code below is what data structs i use to parse the responses

[cold heron]

also just checked that for me it is the same asset id as the one in the roblox inventory site

[whole drum]

try lerp idk

[fast drum]

how r u connecting a C code to a luau

or are you?

[wary juniper]

Can anyone help me find the request url for changing gamepass's price/IsForSale? Been looking through the network tab for house still haven't found it..

I'll suck it if someone helps this zlawg out

[fast drum]

wait thats not even C

what is that?

[cold heron]

golang, totally external, saves json files then I use rojo to turn the files into lua tables to use for data in my game

[fast drum]

and how do you add the lua tables u get into your games datastore?

manually?

[cold heron]

Not in datastore just keep em in game memory. Its a rng game so all of it just stays loaded

[fast drum]

well hopefully with more experience ill understand how it works 😔

[ember quartz]

DUDE.

[fast drum]

getting violated by the roblox ai is crazy work

[cold heron]

real

[ember quartz]

honestly cht i think this is AGI

[cold heron]

its nothing hard at all. Its just like when your coding like a lootbox you have a table contains you know the results and etc. I have that just heavily expanded on because this data is fetched from an external source and I dont manually add it in. This json file is turned into a luau table by rojo, and then I just require it and work with it like its a regular old table for lootbox data

[hasty tinsel]

hey i aint a dev or anything but i got a pretty good game idea anyone wanna help me make it and ill take like 5% of the cut and the other devs will take alot more and yeah just try to see if it pops off i feel like the game isnt that difficult to script its a really similar to grow a garden but more brainrotted anyways just dm and ill tell u more and yeah i think it would take like 2 weeks to finish the game at max

[fallen summit]

get some dev experience first

it will help you understand

[hasty tinsel]

thats the point like im not a dev i just have a idea

[fallen summit]

do something independant

learn from that

then start branching out

you will get very far, and not depend on people

you never want to become dependant

[hasty tinsel]

so ur telling me i should learn how to make it myself

[fallen summit]

essentially

break it down, be independant

[umbral carbon]

Is this the real weaponreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

[fallen summit]

yes

wait wtf since when were you a staff member

[blazing oasis]

💀

nerf the names bro

[fallen summit]

Nah bro

ts got history

[blazing oasis]

weaponreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and Crafteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[blazing oasis]

whats the history

[fallen summit]

long

but to summarise it around 4 years ago i was just "IsmaelRobloxGamer300" as my discord username as well as my roblox username

[blazing oasis]

💀

[fallen summit]

but then when i joined a server of a youtuber i became friends with the admin and he had Just_REEEEEEEEEEEEE

so one day in an event he made all his friends into Reeeeeeeeeeeeee's

[blazing oasis]

ya

[fallen summit]

then i said "hmm i might keep it but what word could have 'ry' at the end"

then the word weaponry came to mind

wow i put them together and its born

[blazing oasis]

what about crafteee and evbeyrone eklse that has it

its crafteeeeee not craftreeeee

[fallen summit]

then its unchanged for the next 4 years because i find it funny that sometimes it overflows discord character limits

i.e.

[blazing oasis]

oh

[fallen summit]

tbh, nothing else really fancies my taste

same goes for my pfp and bio, if you went back to 2022 it would be identical

[blazing oasis]

i can tell u my history

[fallen summit]

not description though sometimes i update that

[fallen summit]

sure

[blazing oasis]

no leme not clal it that

second account

ok so

this is my second account

and basically

i used to. be know has Kaglier

which did bnt. mean anything jsut a random name i thoguht of

so it was unqiue

then i neeeded to swith cuz kaglier sounded odd

then i remebred someone named semo glazer

so then i just named myself semo

and for the pfp

i just found the first thing i saw on google

boom

[fallen summit]

but where did modelefy. come from

[blazing oasis]

shi yea i forgott about that

so i am a scirpter right

but i wanted to try modelling

so i was using blender for like a week

but then i neeeded a new name

becuase i wanted a whole n ew

like life online

if u understand

so then i just randomly thoguht of modelyfy

cuz of models

[fallen summit]

interesting

my last two accounts

both i lost to not having a verified email

[blazing oasis]

Here was my portoflio i cooked up in a week for models( never again bro)

https://semo-modelsandui.carrd.co/

[blazing oasis]

ripp

each of those models took like a whole day to make btw 😭

[fair copper]

finally redesigned my framework

😭

[fallen summit]

might noticed i kinda liked space back then

specifically a new game at the time called space sailors

[blazing oasis]

oh yea never heard of it 😭

[fallen summit]

old laptop goes hard

[fallen summit]

play it brooo

its Goated

epitome of robloxian spaceflight

[blazing oasis]

ive had the same macbook for like 2 years 💀

[blazing oasis]

o maybe ill try it

[fallen summit]

it has 4 worlds you can explore

and space station and bases

its a simple game

[blazing oasis]

alr

[stoic radish]

I’m aiming to get the HiddenDevs scripter role. Can anyone tell me their brief experience with it?

The fact that I have to create a game all in one script kind of throws me off

[blazing oasis]

Too much effort unless u got time to write some super advanced nerdy shit you will never use then go ahead

my experience

I tried writing a whole game in one script and they said i was putting too much. in one script??????

then i seperated them and it said not detailed enough

[stoic radish]

Wtf

I thought they’d complain about you not using metatables

[blazing oasis]

idke

i might try and apply again

[stoic radish]

I’ll give it a try myself on these concepts, I’m doing it because this server seems pretty active and would be good to promote here

[blazing oasis]

alr

[lusty stream]

Hello

[blazing oasis]

ok do u think they will accept that

not a "good" script but meh

[lusty stream]

Atleast you acknowledge it

But they might accept it

[blazing oasis]

😭

ok maybe ill look for smt else

[lusty stream]

It’s not the worst script

Neither

[hasty tinsel]

hey i aint a dev or anything but i got a pretty good game idea anyone wanna help me make it and ill take like 5% of the cut and the other devs will take alot more and yeah just try to see if it pops off i feel like the game isnt that difficult to script its a really similar to grow a garden but more brainrotted anyways just dm and ill tell u more and yeah i think it would take like 2 weeks to finish the game at max

[fallen summit]

the fuck did i just say

[hasty tinsel]

bro listen i cant make the game myself

im too dumb

imma keep it real

[unreal jacinth]

Which AI do you guys use to make codes that may be difficult to make, or spot mistakes and debug?

I've seen that ChatGPT is better than GitHub copilot, but Gemini pro is the best, unfortunately it costs cash

[grave geyser]

Weird. The AssetID I'm getting is different for me that the one that is in the Roblox Studio's inventory. But now I realized, when you open the asset on create.roblox.com and click the 3 dots. The asset ID is the one I get from the API response. But the Asset Texture ID is the one I'm getting inside the Roblox Studio and which works for me. But I don't see that the texture ID being returned in the API response. Is there a way to get it? Or am I approaching the problem in a wrong way?

Is it possible that this is related to the fact I'm uploading decals, and that they are getting another ID when being referenced as an element in Roblox studio? But I don't see another way to just upload plain PNG images.

CharGPT5 going crazy

[tawdry sleet]

can someone help with this script

the issue is that the gui's in playergui are not loading in time unless i go in players.playergui. [the screen gui i need]

[dawn crow]

Format the code

[tawdry sleet]

me?

[dawn crow]

format your code like this

[tawdry sleet]

how did you do that

[dawn crow]

You are familiar with the backwards quote? It’s the thing that looks like a backwards apostrophe — you can find it below the ESC key on your keyboard

Top left

Anyway

[unborn kestrel]

how do infinite mapps work like if you had a track trail and you wanna see how far the player can go and its infinite??

[dawn crow]

Type three of them in a row and then the word lua

[tawdry sleet]

ok

[dawn crow]

(No spaces btw)

[tawdry sleet]

can you send the backwards quote

[dawn crow]

`

`lua is what it should look like, but with three backwards quotes

Then press enter, paste your code, press enter again, then put 3 more backwards quotes

Then finally, press enter

[tawdry sleet]

so I know your not supposed to start with your dream game, but I am a newb and I want to make a game. I have some models I made and I have the whole game planned out. how would I learn to code and such? anything helps

I mean it’s still not formatted like a block of code should be. The keywords should be color coded like this:

local bar = 5
local function burger()
    return
end

Wait

One sec

Maybe my phone is glitched

lol

[dawn crow]

I don’t think I can see colored code blocks on discord mobile. If the keywords like “local” and “function” are red and stuff, you’re good

[tawdry sleet]

ok they are

[dawn crow]

What’s wrong with your code

[tawdry sleet]

the gui's dont load unless i go to players.playergui and then the gui

its the lines that say gui.nitro.enabled = true

and local gui = player:waitforchild("playergui")

[dawn crow]

Are you getting any yellow text in the output that says “infinite yield” waiting for something?

[tawdry sleet]

let me check

no

not any infinite yeilds related to the problem

[dawn crow]

I mean the problem has to be that either gui or gui:WaitForChild(Nitro) is nil

I mean, the code inside the if statement doesn’t run, right?

You know that for a fact?

You can test that by inserting a print statement into it

[tawdry sleet]

ok

i have to go soon so i cant talk anymore

[dawn crow]

Adios

[elder sparrow]

how

[rose ember]

[naive shadow]

how to make that

[glass narwhal]

If any scripter here knows how to make a vehicle plane system like in the one build a plane please hmu need one asap

[kind pond]

hello

i ned UI

[kind pond]

alr me do ui

dms

[ionic arch]

i can make but explain me in detail

[kind pond]

any one want map

please

[glass narwhal]

u sure?

[ionic arch]

ya but what you pay?

[glass narwhal]

usd

[ionic arch]

rbx

[glass narwhal]

nope

usd paypal

[ionic arch]

okay usd

how much

[glass narwhal]

are you sure your a scripter 🤣

[ionic arch]

bro are kidding me

[glass narwhal]

gng u literally joined HD today

u got no port on ur bio nun either

[ionic arch]

thats not mean that i am not a devloper as i work 5 months with brawl dev

[glass narwhal]

alr

u got proof of that?

[latent salmon]

Im a professional scripter if anyone wants to hire me dm me

[light mantle]

i dont wanna hire you but i need help with my code

[spiral mason]

anyone could help me build a tutorail system for my game

[hallow wigeon]

Portfolio?

[unborn sable]

I got two questions.(learning to script btw)

1. What's the point of remoteEvents?

2. What's the difference between something like game.ReplicatedStorage and game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

[sudden estuary]

oh thats weird, from what I have seen the response looked fine

[peak cave]

remote events are used to do trigger actions across the client-server boundary

[peak cave]

u can use both to get replicated storage but getservice is preffered official code and its consistent waits for the service to load even if its not loaded

it can also access services that arents exposed

[unborn sable]

best way to become good dat scripting?

*at

[bleak glade]

parital misconception here, it doesnt consistently wait in the term of yielding like waitforchild, it wont yield at all. it will create the service if it doesnt exist at the current spot, or retreives them.

[peak cave]

o thx

[peak cave]

no "best way"

just keep scripting

and ull get better

also stay active on devforum and this server

[bleak glade]

Remote Events

Remote events are fundamentally the only way the client can communicate to the server with data. This poses some security risks with it, if a remote on the server listens for a client to finish a task for example, you have to verify that the client has met the right requirements to finish that task, as people with modified clients could fire a true parameter and just finish that task on the servers end. The client should NEVER be able to fire data that the server accepts, referring to datastore data, the server should only accept stuff it needs from the client, such as input to make something happen on the server, like deleting something from your inventory when i clicked the delete button.

Unreliable Remote Events

These follow the same fundamental idea as remote events, but are a little different. They have a hard cap of 1000 bytes, and larger paylouts will be dropped off, they also dont confirm the order theyre sent in, thus the order is usually out of order on the receiving end and unreliable. So why use a unreliable remote event? Unreliable remote events are good when theres a bunch of remotes that should be sent at once, for example a client input being able to move an object, kinda like the dead rails drag system.

Getservice

I already answered this question above, it will just make the service if it doesn't exist at the direct moment, better to use the method of getservice over the property under game.

Best way to learn scripting

Everyone learns differently, the biggest thing is just to apply yourself to become better, learn new things daily, surround yourself with people who are smarter than you, and you will learn fast.

[nova yarrow]

Remote events are used for client-server communication GetService waits for the service to be loaded then grabs it for example in your run tab below your screen try using game.ReplicatedStorage vs game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)

[unborn sable]

where do I surround my self with people smarter than me

[nova yarrow]

Me

[unborn sable]

😄

[patent gorge]

Does anyone know how to stop players from being able to move players (even rotating them) when they are falling because an animation will be playing

[final ivy]

set their position & orientation every frame

[kind pond]

someone wnat map dm me

[paper ginkgo]

why some games use "v_number" for variable names?

like, v_31 v_32

and how to use "for i v in pairs"

?

[final ivy]

pairs() is an iterator function which returns an index and a value

[paper ginkgo]

i = index v = value?

[thorn arch]

Getservice will work even if the service's name was changed, or if it hasn't loaded

[final ivy]

yes

[thorn arch]

Obfuscated/ decompiled code

[final ivy]

as for the variables that would be because they are bad at naming

[thorn arch]

Basically that's not the original variable names

[final ivy]

decompiled ?

[thorn arch]

Yh

[final ivy]

Lua is not a compiled language

[thorn arch]

Yh but luau is

[final ivy]

luau can be compiled to bytecode but decompiling it would not result in any variable names of that pattern

and would serve no purpose anyway

you can't even access the lua VM to read bytecode anyway

[thorn arch]

Not sure about the decompilation process but I've seen 'decompiled' code

[final ivy]

that seems like a concerning work flow tbh

[thorn arch]

I don't use it

A exploiter turned developer was asking for help

Trying to steal a game from decompiled code

[final ivy]

you can't access Roblox process memory at runtime, and i don't believe there are even any luau specific decompilation tools

Roblox is superr picky about what's going on with your system you can't run network analyzing tools, any sort of debuggers, and it has a lot of measures in place to make sure process memory can't be read or written to

so i do not see how anyone would get compiled code from a game to begin with

[willow sapphire]

yo guys how do u manage multiple UI events such as mousebutton1click, etc. surely if i have like 10 screen guis and i have 5 buttons in each screen gui surely its inefficient to do this in every script under the button.

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

end

whats the proper way to handle stuff like this?

[celest cipher]

chat rate this system i made, it grabs every skin, makes a button through a template made for it, adds its name, description, and more to it. then when clicked it shows you the view frame wihich shows you the description and name and creator through information given on a module script. W or L?

[willow sapphire]

thats fire i like the scifi look

[celest cipher]

thank u twin

[final ivy]

maybe you could create some unified input module and allow UI scripts to call into it to register their input events?

[kind pond]

guys u wnat scripting and building plz message me

[thorn arch]

When exploiters read local scripts, do they get the code as it is in studio?

You do, right?

No idea why anyone would go around decompiling if you get the source code

[rapid verge]

build systems not games

instead of trying to build an entire game, you can practice building components that can be used in games

this not only allows you to isolate your focus to that 1 component, but also gives you a free system you can reuse later in an actual project

also learn the basics and all that

[azure granite]

how do i make global shop system like grow a garden
