i know how datastoring works

[craggy dove]

player execute command -> server generates 10 codes puts them into datastore -> show them to player

random player -> textbox -> enter code -> remote event -> server checks datastore -> true/false

[empty wind]

how do i check if an instance has a property? i don't like doing this vro 🙏

[twin basin]

what the hell

[lean ocean]

what instance

[mystic panther]

why are u checking like that? just do if is a

maybe im not understanding

[twin basin]

what are u looking for gang

[empty wind]

i just realized and yeah i was really tired when writing that

[spare ocean]

What are u looking for 💀

[twin basin]

lord.

[empty wind]

i was tired ok

[mystic panther]

[twin basin]

lemme just check that it isnt every instance that exists so i can be sure i get the right instance

1. Yes you should use a state machine (there should be some tutorals on the devforum)
2. For animations I personally would use Moon Animator for ease of use since i'm not familiar with importing animations from blender.
3. I don't play deepwoken
4. Raycasting is probably the best method for deepwoken combat, and you can sync animations by using Animation Events.
5. Add a bunch of print statements, have a bunch of dummies that do different combat actions like blocking e.t.c, and add a setting where you can toggle hitboxes to visualize them

[twin basin]

raycasting?

theres magnitude, touched + PartsinBound hybrids, but raycasting?? how does that work

[tawny jacinth]

Improved load time

[twin basin]

pretty sure deep uses magnitude though

[mystic panther]

❤️ , thx a lot

[reef eagle]

PCData.PC = {
    ["PC_001"] = {Rarity = "Basic", Value = 30},
    ["PC_002"] = {Rarity = "Basic", Value = 40},
    ["PC_003"] = {Rarity = "Basic", Value = 50},
    ["PC_004"] = {Rarity = "Uncommon", Value = 70},
    ["PC_005"] = {Rarity = "Uncommon", Value = 80},
    ["PC_006"] = {Rarity = "Uncommon", Value = 100},
}

is this a good way of storing item data in a module script?

[twin basin]

if it fits you use case sure. make sure you initialize inventories for each player when they join

[reef eagle]

its just gonna be used to mark an item as eg "PC_001" and set the price or model of the pc to whatever value its set to in the module script thats all

maaybe more of like storing pc type properties

isntead of actual data lol

[full sinew]

chat is there any good scripter to help me with pricing smth

[twin basin]

thats fine

[twin basin]

did someone offer you their services in scripting?

[twin basin]

or are you tryna sell your own services

[full sinew]

[tawny jacinth]

muy bueno

[full sinew]

[thorn arch]

volumetric raycasting

aka, raycast a bunch of times

[twin basin]

never used that method, what is its up/downsides compared to other types of methods for hitbox detection?

[open yarrow]

bounding boxes are arguably the best method of hitboxes

[twin basin]

agree

[open yarrow]

for melee

[twin basin]

agree

[open yarrow]

for projectile you can just use a shapecast

[thorn arch]

Upsides is that it's fast and accurate

Downsides is that it's a bit more difficult to apply for irregularly shaped objects

[copper shale]

Yo guys who wanna join me game? Dm me

[lapis parrot]

if anyone needs any help with scripting lmk

[inland acorn]

how do I uhhhhhhhh

[pine chasm]

I don't believe it's faster/ more performant than touched. If you have like 1000 hotboxes in game you're better off using touched than everything shapecasting

[thorn arch]

Is not shapecasting

[pine chasm]

Any type of raycasting

[thorn arch]

Raycasting is quite different

And is extremely cheap

[pine chasm]

Shape casting is still raycasting

[thorn arch]

No

Shapecasting is much more expensive

[pine chasm]

I mean any type of spatial query

Is slower than touched

[thorn arch]

Touched is more expensive than raycast

[pine chasm]

No

U have to raycast constantly but touched is connected once

Now imagine that with 100 colliders

[thorn arch]

[thorn arch]

How do you think the game engine knows whether 2 parts are touching or not?

Skids these days

[edgy mango]

local part = script.Parent
local humanoidRootPart = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

part.Touched:Connect(function(TP)
wait(1)
humanoidRootPart.Position = game.workspace.TPPart2 + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)

end)

Whats the issue with this script? it keeps showing me infinite yield possible

[pine chasm]

Then tell me how

[reef eagle]

you guys thought of using asci art to mark sections of code?

[thorn arch]

For every part in the game it compares vertex positions of nearby parts to calculate whether their meshes are overlapping

Every frame

[inland acorn]

because of the second line, unless there's a part named HumanoidRootPart on the workspace, it will wait and fail...
My guess is that you're trying to get the character, just google how to get the character from touched event

[edgy mango]

ight, tysm

[pine chasm]

It does this every physics stepped
And it's heavily optimized compared to doing your own checks every heartbeat / stepped

That's why it's faster

[thorn arch]

It's way slower than raycasting

[pine chasm]

Do you have any benchmarks to back that up

Or you just yappin

[thorn arch]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/raycasts-vs-spatial-queries/2532828/4

Simply the nature of raycasting makes it way cheaper

You are only checking a line with fixed length

Checking whether a line intersects a 3d object is way cheaper than checking whether two 3d objects intersect

[pine chasm]

I don't think we're talking about the same use case

Collision detection

Hitboxes

[thorn arch]

Wdym

[quartz harness]

How to disable i can pickup the tool if i touched it?

[thorn arch]

There's a property in the tool i believe

[pine chasm]

You're talking about generally, yes, generally raycasting is faster than touched.

But when making hitboxes, you're better off using Touched

[thorn arch]

For hitboxes, raycasts are even shorter and more performant

[trim saffron]

Anyone new too coding?

[thorn arch]

You can also use params to cull irrelevant parts

[trim saffron]

I want to learn with someone whos new so we can help eachother

[thorn arch]

You just need to whitelist players and npcs

Raycasting is way cheaper

[pine chasm]

I don't believe that, because you have to query all hitboxes and run raycasting on each one. ( Or create separate threads for each hitbox)

Touched is cheaper in computation and memory

[thorn arch]

There's no hitbox in the first place

It's just raycasting

No part

[pine chasm]

Parts aren't expensive

[thorn arch]

More expensive than raycasts

[pine chasm]

I don't believe that. I wanna run benchmarks on that when I get home and make sure

How do you even do collision checks with normal raycasting

Unless you're shape casting or quering space

[pine chasm]

I don't even think normal raycasts are enough to check hitbox collisions accurately

[thorn arch]

Volumetric raycasting

Cheaper than shapecast

Still accurate

[pine chasm]

Isn't that the same as shapecasting

Not really as accurate, if an object is already inside your hitbox position and it's small enough, then it won't detect it

It can only detect objects passing across the shape, and you have to be raycasting fast enough per unit time for smaller objects to be detected

[stone garden]

is it a datastore? 🤔

[reef eagle]

nah i think its a click detector

[thorn arch]

No

[thorn arch]

You aren't gonna be detecting small objects

[thorn arch]

No, the object can simply overlap

Both can be perfectly still

[pine chasm]

Depends on the game you're making

Honestly, everything just depends on something

[rain hound]

yo can you rename UGC after it's been uploaded

[pine chasm]

Touched is faster with a small # of objects, but extremely inefficient when detection a large amount of objects

[thorn arch]

Raycasts are just stupidly cheap

I'm trying to do a benchmark with an old surface based raycast module i made

[pine chasm]

Raycasts can detect multiple items in one raycast

Which is better than touched

[thorn arch]

No they stop on first hit

You need to raycast recursively for that

[pine chasm]

I must be thinking of spatial query

[rain hound]

yea

raycast returns the first thing it touches

and only that

[pine chasm]

How does volumetric raycasting work

I assume it sorts of does multiple raycasts at once then

[thorn arch]

Bunch of raycasts in a lattice

[pine chasm]

I suppose you can have variable # of raycasts depending on an accuracy variable you decide on

Eh I don't like that

[thorn arch]

I did 20k raycasts per frame without any exclusion params

80-85 ms avg

[pine chasm]

My main concern is that complex shapes will not be accurate

[thorn arch]

That's the downside

[stone garden]

how can u do that in the furst place

[thorn arch]

Complex shapes need to either be manually done

Or you make a function that calculates it for you

Before run time

[pine chasm]

Besides that it'd be dumb af to do hitboxes with complex shape

So I guess it has all the upsides

[hasty pewter]

anyone interested, A searchable database of publicly shared QC (quality check) photos from marketplaces/agents, with tools to search by link, keyword, or reverse image.

[thorn arch]

Params didn't change much

Down to 80 ms

With 20k raycasts per frame

Raycasts are so stupidly cheap that, i was using line adornments to visualise the raycasts

But rendering the line adornments was giving me 10x lower fps than the raycasts themselves

@pine chasm

this is 200 raycasts

it fills it in pretty well

overkill for most games even

[sharp ingot]

looking for a scripter to make a quick game with me, would take no more than a week, maybe two

[thorn arch]

32 raycasts

[plain jetty]

yo someone scripting and making ui? i need help fix one thing

[brave kelp]

whats up

[plain jetty]

i need fix easy thing my mind

[brave kelp]

explain whats happening

[plain jetty]

this is bug on phone

[sharp ingot]

what is the bug

[plain jetty]

i have problem with equipment

lets go dm

[stone garden]

why u need that tho? i dont understand

[thorn arch]

Hitbox

[stone garden]

bro what?? and you need 200 raycast for that?

[thorn arch]

32 is more optimal here

[fair copper]

bro why do u need 200 raycasts hahahah god

😂

[stone garden]

right

[fair copper]

my server memory would die with 10 players

🥀 😂

[thorn arch]

It was fine with 20k raycasts per frame

[stone garden]

he said hitbox✌️

[fair copper]

just use a raycasthitbox module if ur making hitbox dude

[thorn arch]

This is what this is

[fair copper]

define a hitpart and put attachment on it then use a module

sheeet what kinda module did u download

🥀

[thorn arch]

This is just a visualiser on a volumetric raycast module

[fair copper]

what u using it for?

[thorn arch]

I'm not using it for anything

It was an old one i have

[fair copper]

ahh

[thorn arch]

I just used it for a rough check

[fair copper]

yeah it seems primitive but raycasts always worked

🤔

[thorn arch]

Raycasts are just very cheap

You can run thousands each frame without issue

[solid rain]

What’s the best way to serialize instances so that they have a permanent serial (always the same) and avoid issues like duplicate part names causing conflicts?

[fair copper]

use attributes

set an attribute of whatever serial and put it on everything u want to serialize

lol

it wont depend on names or whatever but make sure to define the object class

[solid rain]

i mean i know how to use attributes but I want them automatically assigned and to stay permanent without having to do extra work when inserting a new model but yeah I guess this is the only true way

[midnight phoenix]

UUID

each part has its own unique ID

its called UUID

[ruby iron]

make a counter variable and add 1 to it every time a new instance is created

thats literally useless because u have UUIDS

[pearl tulip]

Roblox just banned kreekcraft permanetly

and banned 300+ creators

[keen tusk]

Quick question:

If i wanted to make a system that let players choose what outfit to wear in a game depending on their team, would that theoretically be possible?

[violet folio]

cap

[icy dew]

Yes

[strong valve]

Right

[keen tusk]

And how hard would that be?

[icy dew]

1-10 with 10 being the hardest, probably 1

[keen tusk]

I assume that means it varies depending on how its implemented?

[stark geyser]

how would i go about making a system were when the player touches a part something happens, and when a player goes of that part, the thing that happened is stopped. I tried using the like on touch thing but the issue is it isnt reliable

[icy dew]

I suppose so. It's not difficult at all unless you make it difficult

[sour vine]

.Touched, .TouchedEnded

[keen tusk]

I assume it'd require acess to your inventory, some way to register and change to whatever outfit you chose,detect what team you're on, and then just need to reset your character in between round transitions so the new outfit loads in

Btw, im not actually gonna make any of this, i was just curious.

[stark geyser]

Like I said, it dosent work because if the player runs it triggers and stops and triggers and stops because the players isn’t constantly touching, not what i want

[sour vine]

make a bool for it

[inland acorn]

debounce

[stark geyser]

No clue how to do any of that if I’m being honest but I’ll watch a few videos I appreciate it big dogs

[icy dew]

You wouldn't really need all of that.

You'd just need a way to change the outfit. That script could also contain the team-outfit combinations. The script would detect which team the player is on and give them the valid options, then when the player actually requests an outfit change you'd check their team again and whether or not the outfit they requested is allowed for them. You could then just apply the outfit, there's a method for this called :ApplyHumanoidDescription, it's bascially a way to apply a saved outfit

[keen tusk]

I barely understood anything, but you're smarter than me in this specifc subject so i'll assume all you just said is correct

[icy dew]

I see that you meant giving them the outfit, not letting them choose from a list. The same stands, it's not too complex, it's even less complex if you're just applying an outfit when they spawn

[keen tusk]

To be clear
The player picks an outfit from their roblox wardrobe (or whatever it's called) and assigns it to a specific team
If the player ever enters that team, the game changes their avatar into the outfit they chose

[icy dew]

That does add a slight layer of complexity because you'd have to store each player's team outfits, instead of using server-supplied outfits

I did not know that you meant outfits from their roblox profile

[icy dew]

Nice

[subtle stag]

Yoyo, was wondering if anyone who has done scripting commissions or has knowledge could tell me whats a fair price

[fossil bone]

does anyone have good resources for making a tps camera or shall i just take a free model cuz scripting the camera is the hardest thing to do

[sudden estuary]

whats a tps

[velvet zinc]

I uploaded 42 seconds audio for my Bobby game, and it’s the deltarune door music, and it went through but it’s not public, I though it would get removed but somehow it didn’t, it’s still been there for 2 weeks and they have not deleted it. What does it mean?

[broken sedge]

someone know how to put my game on R6

[undone orbit]

How much should stuff like rebirth systems, power up systems and power pick-up system cost on an average range

[velvet zinc]

I like how no one answer my simple question

[twilit cloud]

y

[twilit cloud]

avatar tab at the top, avatar settings, top right three dots, r6 only

[compact spoke]

this has been the bane of many a developer

since graphics level determines what technology you're using when it's set to automatic you can't get a good readout of what tech they're using

which is catastrophic for some games where specific technologies need specific lighting configurations

[twilit cloud]

yeah

[sinful delta]

how do i change gui through a module script cuz i do a module script function for gui it doesnt work but the same thing in a normal script works

[meager yew]

What does your code look like?

[sinful delta]

module.gui = function()
game.StarterGui.screenGui.blackBg.BackgroundTransparency = 0
end

it doesnt work when i call it in a normal or local script

[compact spoke]

this is becuase you're targeting startergui and not a specific player's playergui

[sinful delta]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yea mb ty

[severe cobalt]

the way I work around it is just disable any feature that relies on a certain graphical level (like vfx with glass), then assume low-mid quality for optimizing. If it bothers a user, they can just set it manually.

If the game requires a certain graphical lvl, then just make the player set it manually.

[rotund pawn]

Is there any way to check if user has favourited game, without that annoying "Server is requesting access to your inventory"?

[sudden estuary]

no

Guys is this a good way to handle a tool based fp gun system?

[severe cobalt]

there actually is an extremely roundabout way, using a third party endpoint to ping the roblox http api.. but note that you cant offer rewards for a user favoriting a game

[marsh kelp]

but note that you cant offer rewards for a user favoriting a game
against the TOS ? ||can you say why?||

[grim ridge]

does anyone knows any free player carry system

[ruby iron]

because roblox said so

you're not allowed to offer rewards for likes either

[severe cobalt]

nvm, use to state it explicitly but cant find it anymore so its probs good now. The guidelines use to say:

Do not create promotions offering prizes of any sort (including contests, raffles, lotteries, chain letters or any kind of giveaway). It is okay to offer players promo codes for in-game items only so long as they are not in exchange for something (e.g., in exchange for a thumb up on your game).

essentially a way to get rid of local scripts https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/enums/RunContext

[lilac acorn]

Yeah that's what I was thinking cause water physics isnt really supported properly.

[verbal coral]

real time realistic viscous fluid simulation, combined with rendering too, is pretty much unfeasible with our current technologies

the simulation rate is usually measured in seconds per frame or even minutes per frame, not frames per second

[heady acorn]

useless ass greenscreen

😭 😭

[dense hull]

i figure out how to load a image real time into studio 💗

[dense hull]

its not very optimized but i did it for fun messing around with it currently

[prime spindle]

is it better to just edit data directly to profile service then transfer data to the game. Or is it better to edit data in game(like leaderstats) then transfer the data to profile service.
Example: You pick up a coin or something. It adds 1 coin to the player.
Better to directly +1 coin to profile service then edit value in leaderstats. or is it better the other way around

[dense hull]

just like normal data store dont save everytime someone gets a coin add to an number value and save that number value when the player leaves, if you do that you will hit datastore ratelimit fast.

[tame compass]

Is there an easy way to make images with depth?

Or do I just make it in blender and then import

[tame compass]

Idk how to explain the thing I want to do

Like, an image on front and back but at the sides it’s not flat

It’s a 3D object

[dense hull]

what

oh

use viewports frames maybe

[plain jetty]

hi someone help me fix bug with button on mobile devices? i can pay

[young rock]

function Equip(Tool)
    local Gun = RegisteredTools[Tool]
    if not Gun then return end

    EquippedTool = Tool

    Gun.ViewModel.Parent = Camera
    UserInputService.MouseIconEnabled = false
    PlayAnimation("Equip")
end

function PlayAnimation(AnimationName, ...)
    local EquippedGun = RegisteredTools[EquippedTool]
    if not EquippedGun then return end

    local Track = EquippedGun.Animations and EquippedGun.Animations[AnimationName]
    if not Track then return end

    Track:Play(...)
    Track.Stopped:Wait()
end

What could be the reason of that delay/flicker when i play the equip animation? (The ViewModel is parented to ReplicatedStorage when its not equipped)

[stoic stag]

oh i see

might sound dumb but maybe you arent positioning it at the right moment

[stoic stag]

also i think you have to stop any previous animations from playing

although im not too sure

[thorn arch]

Anims overlapped

[stoic stag]

yea

[young rock]

i dont think there are any other playing animations

but lemme see

[thorn arch]

The animation continues playing after being unequipped

And when you re equip it, the anims overlap

[stoic stag]

yea

[young rock]

oh wait

this prints true

lemme find which one it is

wth

[thorn arch]

[tawny summit]

how do you get better at coding i am 6 months at coding can write some modular code

[thorn arch]

Code more

[young rock]

@thorn arch @stoic stag it didnt fully solve the issue tho

[thorn arch]

What does it look like now

[tawny summit]

u are not helpful

[thorn arch]

There's no shortcut to success

[stoic stag]

Stop the animation

anim:stop()

[tawny summit]

no tell me

[stoic stag]

any that are playing before you equip

[thorn arch]

Tell you what

There's no magic keyword that will make you better

You just need more experience

[young rock]

function Equip(Tool)
    local Gun = RegisteredTools[Tool]
    if not Gun then return end

    EquippedTool = Tool

    Gun.ViewModel.Parent = Camera
    UserInputService.MouseIconEnabled = false
    local AnimPlaying
    for _, Animation in Gun.Animations do
        if Animation.IsPlaying then
            AnimPlaying = true
            print(Animation)
        end
    end
    if not AnimPlaying then
        print("No animation playing")
    end
    PlayAnimation("Equip")
end

@thorn arch @stoic stag

[stoic stag]

you are just checking what is playing

but ur not stopping it

[young rock]

why would i stop it when its not even playing

it prints the animation if its playing

[stoic stag]

oh i didn’t see

whoopsies

[young rock]

[stoic stag]

okay let me think rq

my only idea is it’s the animation itself

you are positioning the core model and then the animation takes time to play

instead of being instant

check sky frames maybe?

keycrames

keyframes

that’s al ml i can think of

i can

[young rock]

okay let me try

[thorn arch]

Comment out the line where you play the animation and show a vid of what it looks like

[stoic stag]

@young rock gn can’t help no mkds

[young rock]

okay gn

[tame compass]

you didnt understand me

[tawny zinc]

Can someone give me the bullet points in randomly picking 3 cards out of 20 cards using the GUI (The concept is like TFT). I'm thinking of putting 20 string values in a folder in the player but i dont know how to randomise it

[thorn arch]

Show the PlayAnimation function

[stoic stag]

back i can’t sleep

[young rock]

its here

[stoic stag]

were the keyframes correct

in the animation

[young rock]

well is it not possible to play animations in rs?

because getmarkerreached doesnt work

let me make sure

[stoic stag]

whatattt

i meant animation editor

[thorn arch]

No

[stoic stag]

ohhh

damn okay

[thorn arch]

Has to be a descendant of a world model

[stoic stag]

i’m not sure then

[young rock]

i mean that should be the reason of the delay

maybe when i parent the model to a world model

it takes time to

load the rig or something

so theres a delay if i immediately play the animation

[thorn arch]

You're using an animation controller right?

[young rock]

oh

[thorn arch]

Is this running on client or server?

[young rock]

no i use animator inside the humanoid

[thorn arch]

Humanoids are bulky

[young rock]

client

[thorn arch]

Use animationcontroller with animator inside

[young rock]

well yeah but

when i add animation controller

since the model already has a humanoid

the animations dont work at all

i can try again tho

[thorn arch]

Delete the Humanoid

[tame compass]

what

[somber vault]

Guys I'm new scripter do yh someone give me suggestions

[tawny zinc]

The guideline to do it

[thorn arch]

Put 20 values in an array

[young rock]

i need it tho

[thorn arch]

Choose a random index between 1 and the length of the array

[young rock]

i use applydescription

maybe i can do that manually

how do i apply the shirt without a humanoid tho

[thorn arch]

Shirts and pants need humanoid

[tawny zinc]

I have to chose it 3 times?

[thorn arch]

No

Just once

Pick a random index n0

[young rock]

@thorn arch

[thorn arch]

n1 = n0+1

n2 = n0+2

Do math.modf to wrap it around

And those are your 3 strings

[tawny zinc]

Oh thanks

[somber vault]

?

[thorn arch]

Is parenting also done on client?

[young rock]

yeah everything

[thorn arch]

Hmm

None of the functions should be async

[young rock]

ive been trying to fix this stupid thing since like last week

[thorn arch]

function Equip(Tool)
    local benchmark = os.clock()
    local Gun = RegisteredTools[Tool]
    if not Gun then return end

    EquippedTool = Tool

    Gun.ViewModel.Parent = Camera
    UserInputService.MouseIconEnabled = false
    local AnimPlaying
    for _, Animation in Gun.Animations do
        if Animation.IsPlaying then
            AnimPlaying = true
            print(Animation)
        end
    end
    if not AnimPlaying then
        print("No animation playing")
    end
    print( os.clock()-benchmark)
    PlayAnimation("Equip")
end

Run this

And show output

[young rock]

its so close to 0

0.0006

[round pivot]

whats the problem?

[young rock]

the equipping animation has a delay

[thorn arch]

Try one thing

Don't change the parent

Just make it invisible

[round pivot]

whats the delay here

[young rock]

yeah i tried that and itd probably work
but do you think there would be a problem if i had like 10 guns parented to camera?

also every other game i see uses parenting

[thorn arch]

No

[young rock]

let me make it tho hold on

sorry but what the actual fuck bro

@thorn arch

[thorn arch]

I think it might be the anim ngl

[young rock]

something is really off

[young rock]

i checked it like a hundred times

i dont understand

let me make a new animation

[thorn arch]

Show it in animation editor

[young rock]

one minute

[young rock]

@thorn arch

ngl this is gonna make to throw the whole system in the trash

[thorn arch]

Play the anim then put a task.wait before the parenting code

🙏

Oh wait

I think i know what might be happening

Where do you call Equip()?

[young rock]

inside .Activated

ill show the whole code wait

[verbal coral]

I’m trynna understand what the issue is

[young rock]

theres this little delay before the equip animation plays

may be hard to notice in video idk

[verbal coral]

Oh I see

[thorn arch]

This may be due to the execution pipeline

[verbal coral]

@young rock is the view model parented under the tool?

[young rock]

no, its parented inside the camera

[thorn arch]

No

[verbal coral]

Why not tool.Equipped?

[young rock]

oh wait mb

.Equipped

yeah

[verbal coral]

Ok

[young rock]

not activated

task.delay(nil, SetVisibility, true)
PlayAnimation("Equip", 0)

this fixes it

[verbal coral]

I wonder if you delete and create a new animation every time it’s equipped?

[young rock]

no

i load it before everything

[verbal coral]

What was it before?

[thorn arch]

The issue

I believe

Is that

Tool.Equipped can fire at any time

And when it fires before rendering is done

The viewmodel is parented

[verbal coral]

Holy moly

[young rock]

oh yeah

[verbal coral]

Why is the animation delayed by one frame

[thorn arch]

But the animation doesn't get started

[young rock]

thats why this works

[thorn arch]

Animation comes after rendering

[young rock]

since it waits till the next heartbeat

[verbal coral]

Ohhh I see

[thorn arch]

So for one frame

[verbal coral]

Equipped fires before render

Always

[thorn arch]

It's in the default position

[thorn arch]

Not always

[verbal coral]

Yes it’s input

Input is before render

[thorn arch]

Oh yeah mb

You can also do task.defer

It won't delay by 1 frame

[young rock]

wouldnt work

[thorn arch]

But it should still work

[young rock]

would it

lemme try

[thorn arch]

You can try it

[verbal coral]

Wait I’m pretty sure opportunists for resuming deferred threads exist pretty often

Often enough that there will be one before render

[thorn arch]

Yh but it gets resumed one frame after the animation gets played

[verbal coral]

No I mean task.defer

[thorn arch]

Task.defer will resume it at the end of the frame

After heartbeat i believe

[verbal coral]

I can’t say for sure but I remember that opportunities for entering parallel execution is synced with deferring opportunities

[young rock]

no

[verbal coral]

And u can definitely enter parallel execution before render and after input

[young rock]

doesnt it resume it at the end of the

uh what do you call it

probably at the end of the input

[thorn arch]

No that would be next frame

Task.defer resumes it later within the same frame

[young rock]

yeah thats what im trying to say

[verbal coral]

Yes but it occurs a lot sooner than what youre thinking

[thorn arch]

Input is at the beginning of a frame

[young rock]

like itd run in the middle of input pro and rendering

wouldnt it

[verbal coral]

It would

There are many deferred cycles in a single frame, running a deferred thread after input will guarantee that it completes before render

[young rock]

so i should use task.delay or task.wait

[verbal coral]

both works, delay is more concise

[young rock]

task.defer doesnt work

let me send video

[thorn arch]

Alr

[verbal coral]

What u have rn is good

Also I came here to ask a question of whether I should run custom physics simulation steps before or after Roblox physics simulation

[young rock]

@thorn arch @verbal coral thank you guys so much really

[thorn arch]

Np

[thorn arch]

It doesn't really matter

[young rock]

this is defer

is there a good article explaining how each section of a frame works

[verbal coral]

It occurred to me that the answer is after

[young rock]

@thorn arch oh this doesnt work with parenting

ill just use transparency idec

oh wait

why not use preanimation

RunService.PreAnimation:Once(function()
    Gun.ViewModel.Parent = Camera
    UserInputService.MouseIconEnabled = false
end)
PlayAnimation("Equip", 0)

works

[thorn arch]

You can do PreAnimation:Wait()

To remove a level of nesting

[young rock]

the playanimation function yields

i made it on purpose

[thorn arch]

No

I meant

You can replace the once

With :wait()

Then you won't have to pass a lambda

[young rock]

oh right

RunService.PreAnimation:Wait()

it took a single line to solve this problem i had for the last week

crazy

[verbal coral]

Yo why does your PlayAnimation function yield bruh

[prime spindle]

sry for late response. So when the data is editted. It is only editted in the game data until the player leaves

[verbal coral]

Lemme see that shi

@young rock pls

[young rock]

the function?

[verbal coral]

Yes

[young rock]

uh just this

function PlayAnimation(AnimationName, ...)
    local EquippedGun = RegisteredTools[EquippedTool]
    if not EquippedGun then return end

    local Track = EquippedGun.Animations and EquippedGun.Animations[AnimationName]
    if not Track then return end

    Track:Play(...)
    Track.Stopped:Wait()
    
    return Track
end

i mean its easier to use when it yields

[verbal coral]

I cannot fw u no more erylies

[young rock]

what

[surreal ether]

i hope thats a module script

[verbal coral]

Writing asynchronous functions 🤮🤮🤮

[young rock]

i mean it is

[verbal coral]

I’d prefer to use a callback argument and return a RBXScriptConnection instead

Asynchronous flow is so hard track mentally

[young rock]

is it better to just do this every time

the legs glitch out and stop working

its a preceduran animation script

so?

@static coral

[static coral]

idk how to fix it i just got you to elaborate on the issue so someone can maybe eventually help you

[merry furnace]

chat is making a train easy if i have a tutorial? never coded smth on my own in my life ever in the history of my existence ever

[severe cobalt]

its considered advanced but meh, theres ways to cheese it. Plenty of tutorials on YouTube, i just recommend learning at least the basics of scripting first before going knee deep.

[merry furnace]

im just making a train for fun cuz i think it would be cool, im planning on learning to script but only in the near future

[severe cobalt]

doing it the cheesy way isnt so bad in terms of scripting. Make a track. Make a platform. Weld spheres on the platform so they're just inside the track (with spheres touching), then use vector force for acceleration.

probs simplest way as it just uses roblox physics. Not the best in the world

[merry furnace]

ill try it

[dusty moth]

Yo

Who can help script my game

[devout marten]

any scripters good with mini games? (like fisch) slide me a dm

I can for 50 usd

[dusty moth]

Thats alot dude

[craggy bay]

Of course mate, U want me to script ur game or nah

[dusty moth]

I do but I dont rlly have much on me rn

[craggy bay]

i aint gonna ask for 10 usd, that aint even worth it

I should even ask for more than 50

anyway i'm playing with yo ahh, I dont code

[dusty moth]

Whatever

[tiny island]

Hey guys, quick question, does this look ai generated. Be honest.
If it does, how would u know?

[velvet parcel]

that is not my animation, i dont animate so i cannot tell sorry.

[bleak glade]

Humanoid:MoveTo()

[uneven solar]

bud

[jaunty moss]

aint gl if this is AI generated im kinda suprised

looks good imop

[mystic panther]

u can do it with moon animator

[mystic panther]

i dont think so, it looks rlly good. what site did you use to generate it, might come in handy

[blazing oasis]

a bit

[obsidian totem]

Ain't nobody developing for percentage

[ember pilot]

hey there
Im a beginner scripter and I followed tutorials to make a movement system and one to make a stamina bar
However I dont quite know how to combine the two, is there anyone that could help me with that?

[obsidian totem]

also is roblox down for anyone else?

[obsidian totem]

just make the stamina go down while sprinting/in sprinting mode and when it's below 1 just make it go back to normal for example

[ember pilot]

I dont quite know how to make the sprint stop when out of stamina though :/

[peak sphinx]

on a low rate thats 5 hours bruh, which is no time at all

good luck on the game unless its something super basic

[mystic panther]

does this apply staate for my state machine look alr? im worried removing like that may cause conflicts when i start on combat stuff

[quiet stream]

yes, the file name

[mystic panther]

and follow up question, should i handle effects like burning, poisoned etc in this too? or should it be seperate and handled in combat scripts

[merry furnace]

looks pretty ai generated to me, i think its the blending and colour scheme.

[uneven solar]

you're ai generated

[merry furnace]

thanks a ton ill check it out ❤️

[mystic panther]

and did you mean for both the normal states and effects?

[bleak glade]

effects

assuming you have an entity that can be binded to these effects

yes it does. its kinda obvious ngl

[mystic panther]

like a two months or so of actually attempting to learn

maybe im tweaking but i rlly dont think its that bad. i imagine its gonna be smaller during use too, so i dont rlly think it'd be that obv

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1111153055627481089/1352380647209046106/attachment.gif

[open yarrow]

idk why people plug ECS libraries to new scripters

[subtle sage]

true

[open yarrow]

if you know how to use dictionaries you can make a status effect system incredibly easily

[mystic panther]

thats what i initially was gonna do, but im more than happy to learn wtv an ECS lib is

[open yarrow]

ecs is cool but its probably far overkill for what u need

im not gonna like outright say u shouldnt

but u can just create a status effect dictionary for the player and add entries in the respective effect category

[mystic panther]

it prob is but im sure it has lenty of benefits

[open yarrow]

oh definitely ive used matter ecs and it's really neat

the downside is structuring just takes a bit longer

[mystic panther]

is it like super difficult to learn or is it just a bit time consuming?

[open yarrow]

my perspective is prob a bit different cause ive been scripting for some 4 years but it was mostly just a bit tedious

i personally think its rlly cool but unneeded in 90% of cases

but it was a feature of an old framework i used to work on with a friend

i doesnt exist

because it isn't defined in the scope

[dusty moth]

what do i change it to

should i just remove it?

[fair copper]

guys what are your thoughts on observer patterns, whats better, observers or setter and getter global state managements

[tender aspen]

how do you get it in code format like this?

[dusty moth]

use ` 3 times and put lua and your code then the close it off with same thing as the first step

yo```

[static coral]

those who know 💀

[tender aspen]

local damaged = {}

for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    local character = player.Character

    if character and player.Name ~= script.Parent.Parent.Owner.Value then
        local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
        local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

        if humanoidRootPart and humanoid then
            local distance = (humanoidRootPart.Position - script.Parent.Position).Magnitude

            if distance <= 10 and not damaged[player] then
                damaged[player] = true
                print("Damaging", player.Name, "from fireball", script.Parent.Name, "Time:", tick())

                humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
            end
        end
    end

[fleet drift]

anyone here a new/beginner scripter i'm looking for a buddy or two to learn with

before anybody asks i learn better with people

[spare ocean]

[fleet drift]

no idea what you're saying

[spare ocean]

Ntg

[wary swift]

Can someone give me some ideas on what to script next? Chat gpt gives me the same ones over and over again

I've made a simple clicker game with datastoring and rebirths until now

[fleet drift]

i would also appreciate this can u give me stuff you've also scripted

i'm very new

[wary swift]

Watch brawl devs tutorials

they are very helpful

[fleet drift]

yes i watched them

[devout marten]

looking to hire someone to script a mini game system dm me

[slim bolt]

i want to create a pls donate stand but i have api service and https enables but gamepasses doesn't work

[frigid thorn]

Dms

[broken sedge]

ty

what i need to know to do a combat system?

[uneven solar]

all new faces

good to knopw

[signal meadow]

so now just begin making, practice is the best way to learn ts:D

just experience

[fleet drift]

yes

im practicing a lot rn

but it's super hard

like i run into problems with thinking

[signal meadow]

get some base game idea, and expand the features, if you don’t know how to do smth what u want, check on the forums or ask chatgpt to write it and analyze the code/try to write on ur self and then ask ai for the code and see what he did and what you did

[signal meadow]

u will get that

with proper knowledge

[fleet drift]

so if i want to do a simple system i can't even come up with a proper system like i come up with complicated semi solutions

and then i look at the answer and its completely diff

like that framework is diff ykwim

[signal meadow]

yeah so write it up, and see how others are doing it by open sourced modules/tutorials, so next time you know what to do and not

yk what i mean

just practice and get some lessons from your mistakes

remember what u did wrong

[fleet drift]

alr

[honest tapir]

Greetings guys iam really eager to learn scirpting in roblox can anyone help me in it?

[tame compass]

There’s a lot of video guides on YouTube

Try watching these

[clear forge]

watch youtube videos look up stuff and USE THE DOCS, ALOT

[tame compass]

And ask people here if you don’t understand something

[clear forge]

very very useful starting out

dont copy and paste code alot

you wont learn anything

if you need to (you will starting out and even later on) look at other peoples code try to understand it

[honest tapir]

thx guys for your advice and suggestion i will watch yt videos and try to learn

can you guys accept my friend request if in case i need your help i can contact you

[tame compass]

Okay

[quasi inlet]

im new

[uneven solar]

lupus

[quasi inlet]

iv been thinking about making a roblox game and want to make one with chatgpt does anyone have any idea how to do that

[proven jewel]

You dont

[lunar pike]

SDIYBT

[hushed cargo]

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[quasi inlet]

im down to learn scripting also dm me

i would also like to learn scripting whith somone

[shy shuttle]

@devout knot ^

[blazing oasis]

Scripters whst is more. Efficient working on multiple games in the same day ( and getting little done in each game) or working on one game at a time. ( I do the first one that's horrible ik🔥😐)

[glass narwhal]

anyone know where to find any good game balancers?

[static coral]

put all focus into one at a time

[somber vault]

1 game at a time

[blazing oasis]

Is it actually faster?

Alr bet

[somber vault]

its the more logical thing

[blazing oasis]

Ok

[somber vault]

scattering your focus between different projects will only confuse you

[blazing oasis]

Alr

[somber vault]

• Remotes
• hitboxes (GetPartsInPart is a useful function)
• UserInputService + ContextActionService
• Server Side cooldowns
• how to make a State Machine
• animation events (can be used for creating hitboxes at a certain time in an animation)
• velocity objects (if you want things like dashing + knockback)
• how ragdolls work (if you want ragdoll combat)
• RunService + deltaTime

that's all i can think of that would go into an average combat system

[regal heath]

snuck in how to make a state machine

"how to operate a state machine"

[somber vault]

state machines can be as simple as character attributes

but that's not the best way to do it

[fair copper]

what about observers

[broken sedge]

tysm bro

what is state machine

[regal heath]

kind've broad when you say it like that, attributes alone cannot operate as states

[somber vault]

research state machines, youtube, chatGPT, dev forums

[somber vault]

this hurt my soul

[regal heath]

asking questions in a discord is the least effective method to learn, you'll learn 10x faster by just reading a article or docs somewhere

[sharp finch]

my friend posted that on twitter

[fair copper]

get into observer patterns or setter getter patterns for state management

[sharp finch]

http s://x.com/TotallyNotTS48/status/1956379303223943197/photo/1

[somber vault]

10/10 attention bait

ragebait, even

[sharp finch]

can u guy smake fun of him

[wispy lake]

they're less restricting

atrributes dont allow instances.....

gr............

[somber vault]

a basic explanation would be:
a state machine would be used to track every players current state like: blocking, sprinting, dodging, attacking...

they're great, good luck making the combat system

[broken sedge]

thank u

[wispy lake]

np

[devout marten]

anyone good with mini games like fisch/dig? (paid)

[somber vault]

do u know how to code? i can explain it to u

[devout knot]

@shy shuttle

@quasi inlet

[vale flax]

does the string type have a .lower() function

[sharp finch]

not mine

ask totallynotts48 on x

[vale flax]

I dont use twitter and I don't plan to

[zenith shore]

BRO use msg = string.lower(msg), and dark mode

[vale flax]

so it does

lmaooooo

[umbral carbon]

It’s called X

[vale flax]

ok

[dapper oriole]

idk how yall can do this. luau is the worst (game) scripting language I have ever used in my life

[little crest]

Its simplicity makes its power ✨

The only thing that really suck imo is the dev tooling which is absolutely trash compared to js/python etc

I'm a rbx ts dev for this reason but I miss lua sometimes...

[languid isle]

just curious, would modules be a great way to pass data (specifically settings for an example: showing hitboxes) , so when the client is fully loaded in (including the data), would it be an good idea to save the data to a module that the client can access and then when the player leaves, the data currently saved would be overriden by the changes made for an example the player disables hitboxes from being shown.

[little crest]

Lua doesn't have classes, well ye, so use alternative to objects (ecs propaganda)

[little crest]

Bro this is not understanble

[languid isle]

maybe you're a bit slow, but i'll explain it more better, ok, so, i've got a data store in which it saves the user's settings, which are customised to change certain aspects about the game, more about the visualisation (such as showing how big the hitboxes are) and so on, i was wondering if a good way to save this was through using a module, so basically, the settings that were changed are passed onto the module which then passes it back to the data store to save.

[little crest]

I'm not slow bruh I ve read it on the other channel

[languid isle]

whatever you say

[little crest]

A module

What module

This looks like a profile

[languid isle]

like it passes on the current settings to a local script which basically tells the script:

• what settings should be set to true and ect

[languid isle]

yeah something like that

[little crest]

Then just use profile store ig

[languid isle]

💀

[little crest]

?

This is just the normal way of treating preferences anyway

Idk how u d otherwise

[vale flax]

wdym its so easy

hope you aren't saying that cuz ur struggling

[gloomy kraken]

its not that hard bruh

[unborn sedge]

ik nobody cares but i am so happy i just made my first script

[severe venture]

pub/sub OP

[dapper oriole]

simplicity pushes the complexity else where

im seemingly reinventing the wheel for every minor feature or because the roblox API is worthless so now I need a 200+ line module to make it usable

[onyx saffron]

@modest rain

Acct got limited bro

Can you send me invite to your discord server or smt

[verbal igloo]

all dis til devEx stop hitting 😭

Im hireing coders etc

dm me 1000 robux

paying

[void dock]

Are these rates fire? 🔥

DM me 1000 robux to script for me

[faint mountain]

i need some help with a simple script pls dm

[sudden estuary]

are you okay

[dense hull]

mods ban this guy

[tame compass]

But KFC is chicken, not a duck

Still, your joke made my (last) day

[devout marten]

nah more looking to just hire someone

[bronze dome]

are character controllers actually good for making a custom movement system

[gloomy kraken]

stop reposting the same shit in each channel

[bronze dome]

I have a pet peeve with how the character controllers acceleration just feels like moving on ice. I would like to change that acceleration curve, but I can’t
