[blazing oasis]

ok

firs t i neeed a texture

pack

thingy

OMG I FIXED IT

[fair copper]

lol

i think this module will make tons of possible things inside a rpg

maybe i can adjust the cframe it holds each type of object

[blazing oasis]

yes

[glossy wave]

looks cool

is rojo worth to use and why

[blazing oasis]

i mean u dont have to use it

but i dont reallly see the enefits tbh

[fair copper]

i just code stuff on studio

[blazing oasis]

same

[fair copper]

i like that playtesting stuff

[blazing oasis]

im so happy my plugins work i havent used them in like a year

Scaling ui manually..........................................

[fair copper]

but my codes are also on vs code cuz studio needs to work with wifi

[fair copper]

i wanna learn making uis

[blazing oasis]

ui is easy if u ask me

[fair copper]

i think it'll polish my game by a notch

if i make them myself

[blazing oasis]

Ui is just taking a bunch of images

adnd combining them

and coloring

[fair copper]

it takes time tho

[blazing oasis]

not really

[fair copper]

if u wwanna do like custon

custom

[blazing oasis]

not as long as scripting

it only takes like 1-2 hours per frame if ur sweating on it for it to be perfect

[fair copper]

yea true that

[blazing oasis]

i spend like 20-30 minitieus on ui

this didint take long

and its decent to me

ui wise

doesn thav emuch content tho

[fair copper]

o yea its like blade ball

ice

[blazing oasis]

lol

[fair copper]

nice

[abstract shadow]

guys chatgpt is useless its breaking my game :( someone shouldve told me this was a bad idea

[blazing oasis]

it only took like 20-30 min

[blazing oasis]

..

this is ragebait

[abstract shadow]

yes

[blazing oasis]

i neeed to learn vfx

im elarnig it rn

after i get th eplugins

[abstract shadow]

i actually had a tiny bit of trust in chatgpt cause it worked the first time but the moment i gave it an actual thing to script it cant do it

[blazing oasis]

lowk this server is really useful for learning stuff like ui and vfx

b they give ut he assets in pinned messages

[fair copper]

lol

[fair copper]

what did u really expect anyway 🥀

[abstract shadow]

you should script two working planes and then build a city with a big park in the middle and two really big towers

[abstract shadow]

i expected it to work :/

[fair copper]

the most i wwould use ai for would be for putting debugs in my script when im lazy

[abstract shadow]

now i wasted like an hour

im kidding it was fun

[main sorrel]

What script did you send

[fair copper]

😂

[hexed kelp]

[abstract shadow]

im trynna make it clear a players inventory when u press "yes" on the GUI lol but i cant script so i thought it would be easy enough for chatgpt

it was able to clear the inventory without a gui

and dont hate i havent been on roblox in like 3 years atp my scripting knowledge is like 0 nowadays

[olive summit]

im getting error from the highlighted line

[coarse nimbus]

What is queue

[olive summit]

queue is queue

data structure

well

its a song playing system

im making the queue feature

[coarse nimbus]

Me when I provide a fraction of the code then wonder why it doesn’t work and why nobody helps me

[olive summit]

mb

[copper apex]

For my nasa personal project for fun, this is the admin panel, able to control game settings, and objects this is what im working on currently, tweens on client, position is updated to server when tween ends

[steep knoll]

Is there any gzipping library for roblox buffers?

[fair copper]

ts pmo

[severe cobalt]

the error tells you

queue is an instance

aka something you can see in your object browser

itll only work for tables, so queue has to be
local queue = {}

or any variation of it.. cant use Instance.new or FindFirstChild or anything.

if its a script connection for like a bindable or smthn, make sure your parameters are lined up

[cosmic spade]

I call bull cz when I send the whole script and send the part where I'm getting the error I got a "nobody aint reading alla that mind you the script wasnt even big"

[coarse nimbus]

i do not care

[graceful lodge]

Any pro scripter here can i ask for a favor

[static coral]

what do u need (im not a pro scripter but i can try to help)

[graceful lodge]

Do u mind reviewing my scripts and tell me how to improve or optimize

[static coral]

sure

[barren marlin]

pluh

[jovial crown]

is it ok to prompt purchares out of server?

[vestal pumice]

Send script here for hundreds of people to see and therefore get more help

[paper imp]

yeah

[inner aurora]

is there any way to turn off this auto-copletion (in the 1st img)
but keep the type of auto-completion that is in the 2nd image?

[jovial crown]

are you fr?

[paper imp]

why would it be bad

[inner aurora]

ts song ❤️‍🩹 🔛 🔝

[copper apex]

❤️‍🩹 🌹

[rocky lynx]

Roblox gzips buffers when they’re networked if ur tryna do that

So u don’t have to compress them when networking them

Internally Roblox networking already does it

[honest breach]

why does this enable when i press play even tho i disabled it

[steep knoll]

oh, nice, thank you for letting me know

[rocky lynx]

Yup 👍

[somber cedar]

ok this might be a dumb question but what is ts 💔 why is it broken

[somber vault]

ur missing a "

theres Physicsservice instead of PhysicsService

did u type it in discord or do you not use autocomplete

[steep knoll]

because you have click to move?
Idk if that is intentional, just what doesnt work as intended here and where in code do you think the bug is?

[somber cedar]

nah its intended im just saying even tho i didnt had it, ppl would still be able to move with wasd i kinda thought about just adding a background frame

[steep knoll]

set walkspeed to 0 if you dont want ppl to move horizontaly

[somber cedar]

ill try

[eternal arch]

helo

[shut sorrel]

you can disable movement without changing walk speed by accessing the PlayerModule directly
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/disable-characters-movement-without-walkspeed-or-anchoring/2489111/6

[somber cedar]

alr fixed it ty yall

[lapis parrot]

if anyone needs help with coding let me know!

[somber vault]

https://streamable.com/q5oa71 is ts nice guys

[nimble violet]

uh so like, Im having an issue where my events are stacking upon respawn because the connection doesnt clear... Why is that? Anyone know of a way to clear connections upon character death?

[nimble violet]

The scripts dont even exist anymore and its still connecting

[fair copper]

u need a state manager

[nimble violet]

heh?

[nimble violet]

what do you mean

[fair copper]

search it up

player state management

[main sorrel]

disconnect it then

[nimble violet]

i dont see how that'll help tho

[nimble violet]

i tried

[main sorrel]

deleting script won't disconnect

[main sorrel]

can you show the code

[nimble violet]

i dont have it disconnecting anymore cause i removed itcause it wasnt doing anything

one sec

The Signals.Streak thing is on the server,
The events.message:connect thing is on client.

Im using Warp for my events

Its only firing one event from the server

each reset of the character adds a connection

[main sorrel]

is it supposed to print only when player joins

[nimble violet]

Ok, so basically, I have a hitting ability, and once i hit them 5 times, a system message appears saying "Player reach streak x" or whatever,
The problem is, every time i respawn, the connection doesnt disconnect (which it should), therefor stacking, and causing the message to appear however many times you've died / respawned

[main sorrel]

why would it fire the message event when player respawns

[nimble violet]

It fires when the event is fired?

The firing part works, its just the event stacks because prior connections dont get cleared

[nimble violet]

as seen here

even tho the script no longer exists, the connections still connect

[safe anvil]

Probably everyone knows how but how can i make a global leaderboard for my game its almost done but thats missing

[coarse sapphire]

400-1700 robux for anyone who can make me a good pfp! (suprise)

[somber vault]

how 2 code

it says print hello world

what does that mean

[upper oak]

youtube tutorials usually explain it well

[fair copper]

dude so basically i have a module for states player uses, like for example
local lastSelfAttackId = nil
local isBlocking = false

i establish setter & getters and then clean it up in one function

function ClientState.getIsBlocking() return isBlocking end
function ClientState.getLastSelfAttackId() return lastSelfAttackId end

-- setters
function ClientState.setIsBlocking(value) if isBlocking ~= value then isBlocking = value; fire("isBlocking", value) end end
function ClientState.setLastSelfAttackId(value) if lastSelfAttackId ~= value then lastSelfAttackId = value; fire("lastSelfAttackId", value) end end

function ClientState.resetAll()
isChargingAttack = false
lastSelfAttackId = nil
end

its something like this

resetall cleans up all lingering states of any kind

[nimble violet]

yeah but im not using states, im using events

Ive fixed it now

[fair copper]

what was the problem

in ur code

[lapis parrot]

If anyone needs help with scripting Let me know I can do reasonable prices with high quality work!

[hidden nexus]

Help or need something to be done?

[brittle token]

Dude stop

[hidden nexus]

Cause if help, I would delete that message

Greedy ah dev

Don't hire him

He just st steals your money even if he does the work

[crisp ivy]

how hard would scripting be to learn?

[tight pewter]

easiest thing ever

[hidden nexus]

Took like 1 day back then to learn the basics

[tight pewter]

lua has like 20 keywords or sum

easily learned ina day, the hard part is learning data structures and algorithms needed for your idea.

(but still easy and quickly found on google)

if you dont know what to look up, you can ask people here (or things like AI) to open doors for you. @crisp ivy

[slender cairn]

guys..

how long it'll take for me to learn oracle

like UML etc

[tight pewter]

thats broad

ask a better question

[slender cairn]

mb gang

[tight pewter]

if youre looking for a job though in that sector its like 6 months - 2 years depending on the role you want

[slender cairn]

ic

[tight pewter]

but it doesn't mean you'll learn all that full within 2 years

you'll just be good enough to scam the employer

[slender cairn]

well am just in college, taking courses. rn am learning OOPL, database and etc ts been kinda difficult lol

[slender cairn]

right

[tight pewter]

yeah thats good though

just make sure youre doing a lot on your own time too

schooling isn't enough to keep that job, though it'll get you in the door

[slender cairn]

ye am trying but idk if i should try focusing on system analysis / database first

[tight pewter]

database management/fundamentals first imo

[crisp ivy]

im surprised, i was expecting way longer, would this still apply to someone with no experience with other scripting languages

[lean ocean]

no ones paying you to help them

[slender cairn]

alright thx

[lean ocean]

theres a code help channel

😂

[tight pewter]

the keywords are easily learned (hence why the language in its entirety can be learned within a short time span)

but programming is more broad than just the language you use, you need to learn algorithms/data structures that you need for your case.

but dont try to learn/read everything like its a book, just learn as you go based on what you need for your current idea.

if youre developing on roblox, then you need to use roblox's references pages (again not a book, just references that you glance at occasionally)

[crisp ivy]

these? https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Decal

as in the documentations in general, not decals

[tight pewter]

yep

need the "Players" service for your idea? but dont know how it works? glance at the docs, done.

so you need to learn the language (in this case lua), some understanding of data structures/algorithms AND understand the API/Documentation of the platform youre working in, so you can peep references (in this case, roblox)

[crisp ivy]

so i should try learning in tangent with the game idea instead of trying to understand the language fully first?

[tight pewter]

yep

learn as you go, its the best flow

if you wanna get more technical and have a deeper understanding then you can take deeper dives into the language/engine later.

[crisp ivy]

thank you

[tight pewter]

np gl

[tight pewter]

https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/

you can use this as reference for lua btw

roblox uses 5.1 for luau iirc

[crisp ivy]

wait there arnt any major differences between lua and luau right?

[tight pewter]

i wouldn't say major differences no

[bleak oak]

anyone wnna script my blue lock game

[tight pewter]

there is some differences, its roblox's own flavor of lua

anything in normal lua will work in luau, but not vice versa

(although roblox did remove certain aspects from the sandbox, due to security concerns)

but you wont be using those anyway

[crisp ivy]

ah

[tight pewter]

yeah, you wont be able to read/write files on your players computer for example

for obvious reasons... but outside of roblox you could use lua to do that

[crisp ivy]

so those would be replaced with writing to datastores and stuff im guessing

[tight pewter]

yea

essentially

[gilded stag]

hi is it possible to spawn a part locally

like only one person can see this model n stuff

[shut sorrel]

Yes you create the part in a localscript and only that player will see it on their client

If you clone a model in localscript the same thing happens

parts created or cloned in server scripts can be seen and interacted by everone

[gilded stag]

what about tweening a part locally

[shut sorrel]

Then that part will only move for you but be in the same spot for another player

[gilded stag]

i tried doing it though and it wasnt working out

like it didnt move at all

[shut sorrel]

You can switch between client and server view when testing your game to see what's happening

[gilded stag]

okk thanks so much

[shut sorrel]

to communicate to the server from a localscript you use RemoteEvents, without that everything you do in a localscript will only happen for your client, useful for camera, inputs, GUI, so on

just some facts about localscript

[shut sorrel]

This could just be a problem with your tween code

[gilded stag]

let me try again

[frigid thorn]

Might be anchored

[gilded stag]

nah it works now YAY

[gilded stag]

thanks very much

[arctic flax]

Anyone know why the function is do its thing twice in this script: v.Button.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then
if values.OwnerValue.Value == player then
if v.Button.CanCollide == true then
if player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats").Cash.Value >= v.Price.Value then
player.leaderstats.Cash.Value -= v.Price.Value
objects[v.Object.Value].Parent = tycoon.Purchases
playSound(v, audio.buttonSound.SoundId)
v:Destroy()
else
playSound(v, audio.error.SoundId)
end
end

does anyone know how i can get the week of the year? based on todays date

local function getWeeklyKey()
local date = os.date("!*t")
local isoYear = date.year
local isoWeek = math.floor(date.yday/7)
return string.format("WeeklyMaxHeight_%04d-W%02d", isoYear, isoWeek)

this is what i have done

[desert jungle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[daring ocean]

I used the part to water plugin but you cannot swim in the water

Can someone help me make it so I can swim in the water?

[hot prism]

Lol, idk if someone knows how to web design, but could someone help me, basically I am making portfolio and I think this square is ain't no good

anyone knows how to make it look better?

[shut sorrel]

maybe add a stylized border, make it wider so it's not so congested

[hot prism]

Let me try

[tight pewter]

agreed

also a more mature font

but thats my opinion

[sage glacier]

Finished dev kings basic scripting tutorials. Do I continue to watch his advanced tutorials or should I switch to brawldevs or should I just start reading the docs?

[tight pewter]

you dont read the docs like theyre a book

theyre reference pages

just go work on something

[real hemlock]

Just start creating ^

[tight pewter]

yep

[real hemlock]

Get a intention in mind and do it

Doing is learning

[crisp ivy]

probably stay away from the comic sans

[hot prism]

which font should I use?

I am not pro at web development

[tight pewter]

Times new roman is a popular choice, verdana can be good. @hot prism

just dont use something too cartoony

[hot prism]

I was just thinking that my portfolio sucks

[crisp ivy]

any, just try stay profesional

hold on rq

[hot prism]

Roman is quite good

I like it

I feel like there should be like a video back ground or smth

[tight pewter]

yeah looks better

you could add texture to your backgrounds / nav bar background too

like a noise image or something animated.

[hot prism]

idk how to

can you give me like a tut?

[tight pewter]

you can throw something like this into your CSS

for a noise image

but this is just an example, use whatever you want

[frigid thorn]

Yes it's the carrd.co

But I use it too

Laziness reasons

[tight pewter]

you can also do a circular gradient on the body background, to create a sort of vignetting style

lots of tools at your disposal just have fun with it

[hot prism]

Lol

[hot prism]

kk

[frigid thorn]

Just checked

Yours is 10 times better than mine 🙏

[hot prism]

Like my models? XD

[frigid thorn]

I'm just too lazy to edit

[hot prism]

show in dms

[frigid thorn]

Yes

[hot prism]

tyty

[frigid thorn]

It's just a premade template

I suck at designing things

[hot prism]

same

I just place images

btw are you a scripter?

[frigid thorn]

Yeah im a scripter

So I have to put videos there 🙏

[hot prism]

lol

[frigid thorn]

Makes it look 5x worse

[hot prism]

I just learnt a bit of css and html at school

[tight pewter]

carrd.co is okay if you just wanna show off your media/art, but as a scripter it probably wont help you show off anything properly.

thats where things like CVs and github can help

[frigid thorn]

Am aware

[tight pewter]

talking to eco

[frigid thorn]

You said "as a scripter"

Eco is a modeler

And we're the only ones talking 🤷

[hot prism]

let me check what

circular gradien

is

[frigid thorn]

Btw @tight pewter what should I use GitHub for exactly?

[tranquil zenith]

guys give me an idea to make (like a td system or something)

[hot prism]

make me a nuclear plant

[tight pewter]

to show off your public works, and track contribution to popular projects (if you contribute to anything)

and also prove that you can maintain things that people will use (if you have anything like that)

[frigid thorn]

Why not also use carrd.co for that?

[tranquil zenith]

like a a nuclear powerplant of like a plant which is nuclear

[ripe plume]

make a td system or something

[hot prism]

like a plant which is green

[tranquil zenith]

i was taking about script but ok

[tight pewter]

cause carrd.co can't do that

i guess you could link your github on there if you want

[hot prism]

I mean are you practicing?

[tranquil zenith]

already working on that

[hot prism]

are you like a pro level

[ripe plume]

ah

[frigid thorn]

Wait what is github for?

[tranquil zenith]

yes

[frigid thorn]

Mostly used

[tranquil zenith]

i can do building asw

[tight pewter]

but also as a programmer/scripter you should probably know web design and how github works

[tranquil zenith]

tryna do jack of all trades right now

[tight pewter]

just to come off as well rounded

[tight pewter]

most people use it for version control or collaboration

but it has tons of features tbh

[frigid thorn]

Ah ok

Appreciate it

[tight pewter]

yep yep

[tight pewter]

https://www.w3schools.com/CSSref/func_radial-gradient.php

[hot prism]

thanks

[tight pewter]

you can create a circular gradient using the radial-gradient() function is css

ye np

[tight pewter]

that tutorial doesn't really show off the real power of it, but you can do something like

background: radial-gradient(circle, #000000 0%, #0a0a0a 30%, #1a1a1a 60%, #000000 100%);

or

background-image: radial-gradient(circle, #000000 0%, #0a0a0a 30%, #1a1a1a 60%, #000000 100%);

center will be transparent and edges will fade to black (like a spotlight)

something cool to play with on certain menus/backgrounds

[potent shell]

local function RunGame(map)
workspace:SetAttribute("Status", "Game")
local spawnpoints = workspace:WaitForChild("PlayRoom"):FindFirstChild("Pillows"):GetChildren()
local randomspawn = spawnpoints[math.random(1, #spawnpoints)]
TeleportPlayers(randomspawn.CFrame)
CountDown(ROUND_TIME)
end

what do i change to this to make it so the players get teleoprted to differnet pillows?

[ripe plume]

create a list of all the children pillows, and remove each one that has been taken

[potent shell]

the spawnpoints variable is the pillows

[ripe plume]

local pillows = workspace.Pillows:GetChildren()

for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    if not plr.Character then return end
    if not plr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then return end
    
    local randomIndex = math.random(1, #pillows)
    plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = pillows[randomIndex]
    
    table.remove(pillows, randomIndex)
end
``` u want something like this right? i didnt test it i might've written somethn wrong

[crisp ivy]

yo, heres a quick thing i put together as reference try doing something such as this, and having the donkey placeholders be images be photos of your work
(hopefully this isn't too complicated especially since its leagues over what you asked but yk tried keeping it somewhat simple (some gradients, drop shadows and a stroke on one of the texts) but presentation and first impressions are key

[hot prism]

looks wonderfull!

[stiff citrus]

What are people mosty looking for when they hire a scripter

[static coral]

a scripter

[stiff citrus]

Funny guy

[ripe plume]

checking that you've actually made what's in the portfolio + checking if you've actually done comms before

[stiff citrus]

But what do they commission you for

[ripe plume]

well that depends on the task right?

[static coral]

you wouldnt believe me if i told you

[stiff citrus]

Cause i want to build a portfolio but idk what the most popular things are

[stiff citrus]

just stop talking

[ripe plume]

do some placement systems, combat systems, fishing, some basic stuff like that first

[static coral]

just showcase systems that are high in demand or things that look good

[stiff citrus]

Okay 👍

[ripe plume]

also this might just be me but i love seeing a super full portfolio so ik you've got experience

[static coral]

https://tenor.com/view/mario-super-mario-bros-depression-sad-mario-and-luigi-gif-14815881022592239601

[ripe plume]

like dozens of projects

[stiff citrus]

Thanks

[potent shell]

can i do this? local function RunGame(map)
workspace:SetAttribute("Status", "Game")
local Pillows = workspace:WaitForChild("PlayRoom"):FindFirstChild("Pillows"):GetChildren()

for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    if not plr.Character then return end
    if not plr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then return end 

    local RandomIndex = math.random(1, #Pillows)
    plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Pillows[RandomIndex]
    
    table.remove(Pillows, RandomIndex)
TeleportPlayers(RandomIndex)
    CountDown(ROUND_TIME)
end

end

[ripe plume]

TeleportPlayers()? dont u want 1 pillow for each

also ur doing the countdown thing inside weach plr

each*

[crisp ivy]

are placement systems basic?

[hot prism]

So how do I add an image as background?

[potent shell]

where do i put the countdown thing?

[ripe plume]

well depends on how you make them, but generally yeah
they might take a few hours but most aint advanced just some work

[ripe plume]

idk what you want, but rn its doing a countdown between each player being sent to a pillow idk if that's what u want

[crisp ivy]

including data saving?

[ripe plume]

ugh that part is annoying but its not super hard

[stiff citrus]

Also do you need extremely advanced frameworks for making commission or is it okay if i just have a good understanding of using modules and splitting client and server

[ripe plume]

what I do is choose an area on each plot that is 0,0

[potent shell]

currently its just a countdown between rounds that i will change later

[ripe plume]

then the position of each obj is a certain distance from that

[ripe plume]

u dont need extremely advanced stuff, i started doing comms in like 2019 i didnt know much more than what u do rn ngl

[stiff citrus]

Okay good

Because there arent many tutorials on frameworks and workflow so i think you just need to learn it with time

[potent shell]

this line errors plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Pillows[RandomIndex]

[ripe plume]

.CFrame at the end

[ripe plume]

yeah

[potent shell]

oh yh

[static coral]

a lot of it is bad or skidded so you are honestly better off coming up with your own

[stiff citrus]

Okay thats good to hear

[potent shell]

now it says im trying to index it with a number

[ripe plume]

yeah u gotta do Pillows:GetChildren()[i]

[potent shell]

like this? local function RunGame(map)
workspace:SetAttribute("Status", "Game")
local Pillows = workspace:WaitForChild("PlayRoom"):FindFirstChild("Pillows"):GetChildren()

for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    if not plr.Character then return end
    if not plr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then return end

parallel luau is interesting

[hot prism]

@crisp ivy @tight pewter how do I put a background image for my thingy?

I want it to be blured as well

[tight pewter]

like a PNG image or somethin?

[hot prism]

jpg

I want to put this bloored out

if I don't like it I will change it

[tight pewter]

in CSS background-image: url("SomeImage.jpeg");

or in HTML use <img> tags if you need to do certain things with it

[hot prism]

I tried it

but the image

goes down the text

idk how to put it as background

[tight pewter]

there is also background settings for css

background-repeat
background-size
background-position
background-color
etc

you'll probably want no-repeat to prevent tiling and cover as the size.

[tight pewter]

wdym

when you add the image with <img>?

[hot prism]

I mean

the image just goes

underneath the text stuff

[tight pewter]

isn't that what you want?

nvm lemme see a screenshot or somethin

[hot prism]

like

I meant not underneath

I meant like to the bottom

[tight pewter]

what are you changing the background of?

<body> or the box containing the text

dont add a <img> it'll just be a separate child element rather than a background (which is why it would get appended to the bottom)

[hot prism]

so

I change background of body

[tight pewter]

you'll just want to edit the CSS of the box containing the text (or your body) which ever you wanna change the background of.

.SomeElement {
    background-image: url("SomeImage.jpg");
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}```

something like this

or if you want the body (the entire background of the website)

    background-image: url("SomeImage.jpg");
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-attachment: fixed;
}```

[hot prism]

tyssmmmm

[thorn flax]

animations js decided to not work for me as a whole, for example here the droid is an npc and the track works on it but not on my player

local droid = workspace.Droid

local track = droid.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
track.Looped = true
track:Play()

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

    -- wait a short moment for Humanoid to initialize internal R6 tracks
    task.wait(0.1)

    local track = animator:LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
    track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
    track.Looped = true
    track:Play()
end)

end)

[tight pewter]

np

[hot prism]

btw

[tight pewter]

yep?

[hot prism]

is there a way to make it a bit blured?

like where the text is

or just everywhere

[tight pewter]

you can probably do

filter: blur(8px);

i dont remember if this will blur the text too though

sec

yeah go ahead and try it, if it does blur the text we can attempt to make a pseudo element with ::before

[hot prism]

let me try

so what it does it blurs the whole thing

but the background

this is the code btw

[tight pewter]

try putting the filter in a separate rule set like body::before {} @hot prism

[hot prism]

kk

[tight pewter]

might have to put the image there as well

[vague nova]

hi

[tight pewter]

if the image still isn't blurred you may have to use a <div>/<img> tag.. then resize/reposition it accordingly to make a custom background image

then you can blur that instead

[hot prism]

doesn't work

[tight pewter]

or edit the image with whatever software and blur the image directly before using it

[tight pewter]

checks out

yeah i think filter only works on the contents of an element (not the background-image of an element)

so you'll need to make an element that will act like the background image

frontend is fun 😃

[blissful thorn]

can i ask you something in dms?

[tight pewter]

why not here?

[languid meadow]

no u cant

[blissful thorn]

cause is for commision stuff

[tight pewter]

i dont do commissions tbh

[blissful thorn]

oh sorry for disturbe

[tight pewter]

np

[languid meadow]

yo

how did you get champ role

[tight pewter]

you get xp per message

i've been in this discord for awhile on and off

[languid meadow]

oh i got it thanks

so just leveling up

[spark dagger]

GUYS WHAT IS THIS FOR?

[tight pewter]

yep yep

[tight pewter]

pastebin is usually used as a quick way to show code

[ancient quail]

paste

[spark dagger]

oh alr

tysm yall

[gilded stag]

any tips with my tweening

i wish it curved out more

[tight pewter]

whats being tweened exactly

the jump/flap?

[gilded stag]

yes

its kinda rough but

cause sometimes it goes backwards cause of this code

i think at least

[tight pewter]

probably just lerp for more customization (instead of tweening) and you wont have the overhead of creating/cancelling tweens

[gilded stag]

lerp?

[tight pewter]

linear interpolation

lerp(a,b,t)=a+(b−a)×t

are you using GUIObjects? or are these just decals on a part

[gilded stag]

nevr done that before

well ive been taught it in maths but like

[gilded stag]

gui objects

[tight pewter]

nvm i read the code more lol

[gilded stag]

zindexs and thats it

kinda rough haha

[tight pewter]

im pretty sure guiobjects have a TweenPosition function

[gilded stag]

is guiobjects just all the children to the screengui

[tight pewter]

probably dont need tween service

[tight pewter]

GUIObjects are things like Frames, TextLabels, ImageLabels etc

[gilded stag]

okay yeah

how come tweening isnt needed

infinite loop?

[tight pewter]

so label:TweenPosition()

[gilded stag]

oh wait

[tight pewter]

lerping just gives more customization and you can move smoothly with less overhead

[gilded stag]

tweenposition ok

[gilded stag]

im a bit lost on what lerp is though

do u have a video on the differences maybe

[marsh kelp]

or a spring

[rancid comet]

Lerping is hell use tweens if possible

[gilded stag]

ill add in the stuff to tweenposition brackets but ur saying htis right

[tight pewter]

yep

[gilded stag]

is that not in built to roblox then

[tight pewter]

and lerp is just a method that lets you 'slide' between values smoothly

[rancid comet]

I’ve a module for tweens for ui I made ages ago it’s kinda ahh but it works

[gilded stag]

thi s games for me to learn so i dont mind learning it

lerps

[tight pewter]

for example changing a value from 0 to 1 smoothly

[gilded stag]

local color1 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0) --Red
local color2 = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,255) --Blue
local newCOlor = color1:lerp(color2,0.5) --Purple

like that

i stole from dev forum

[rancid comet]

LMAO

[tight pewter]

you can write your own lerp function

[somber vault]

What is the advantage of using react lua rather than just dealing with vanilla UIs?

[tight pewter]

but yeah that :lerp() function is the same thing

[rancid comet]

Yeah

[gilded stag]

ye ye i was just reading it

[gilded stag]

okk how do i write

[gilded stag]

htis

this

[tight pewter]

you can roleplay as a web dev thats about it

much simpler/intuitive to just use the UI system roblox provides already

[gilded stag]

i dont get what a b or t is i cannot lie

[somber vault]

Bruh

I'd rather be an actual webdev thx lol

[rancid comet]

Number variables like for example a = 1

[tight pewter]

right lol

[somber vault]

I believe that too

[gilded stag]

local c1 = CFrame.new(-50, 10, 0) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90))
local c2 = CFrame.new(100, 50, -50)
workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = c1:Lerp(c2, 0.75)

0.75 IS THE DURation right

from dev forum

[rancid comet]

Yeah

[gilded stag]

ok wait thats not the custom lerp

let me try this lerp first tho

[rancid comet]

There are no good commissions I wanna do in this server for scripting I mean I saw one for 10K for a carry a friend and throw them, release with a dev product which is good i responded but

[gilded stag]

okok wait let me read thank you

but what does alpha do

[rancid comet]

Time I think idk

[gilded stag]

big steps mean less smooth right

quick question before that how come this one didnt work well

[tight pewter]

i'd research this on google a bit, there is a ton of fun ways to lerp

[gilded stag]

alright i see

lerp is just has a lot more customization

[gilded stag]

okayy thank you

[tight pewter]

and compared to TweenService it can have less overhead

but like i said :TweenPosition() is probably fine, you dont have to recreate/cancel tween objects

[gilded stag]

okayy htank you very much

ill research more and try another project with lerps

do u know like the best reason to use lerps

[tight pewter]

lerping is pretty essential for movement in any sort of game

[rancid comet]

Camera movement I’m guessing

[tight pewter]

especially since you can use deltaTime (the time elapsed each frame) to make it consistent across all machines, no matter its framerate

[gilded stag]

for this should i keep overide true or false

override

[gilded stag]

im a bit confused on what you mean by that

are you on about what goes on in the background or

what programmers actually script

[gilded stag]

ohh i get you

[tight pewter]

in games, if your machine is hitting 120 frames then your character could move faster per second.
if your machine is hitting lower frames (like 30) then your character could move slower per second

to solve this people lerp relative to the deltaTime

so then all players move at the same speed no matter their FPS limit

[gilded stag]

oh okay okay

[sturdy mauve]

Guys

[rancid comet]

Yeah

[sturdy mauve]

Can someone help me on. Studio

Pls

[rancid comet]

With what

[gilded stag]

so like most games do that then?

[tight pewter]

yep every game engine considers this sort of thing, so learning about lerp functions can be beneficial as a game dev

[sturdy mauve]

With a soda machine

[rancid comet]

Yeah but what do u want it to do

[sturdy mauve]

Make it work?

Bc idk how

[rancid comet]

Yeah but Wym like press a button and it comes out?

[sturdy mauve]

Like let me say a ex

[gilded stag]

i see i see

just a quick question for a game i work at

do roleplay games need it

or is it a waste of code

[tight pewter]

yes they'll need it as well

if they have any sort of physics or cars/characters that move

[sturdy mauve]

So like

[gilded stag]

does it sort out lag or anything or just fps in general

[tight pewter]

roblox handles a lot of this for you tbf

[sturdy mauve]

Click on the soda machine and it comes out

[gilded stag]

the game i work for has a lot of lag issues haha and iw as wondeirng if that could be a reason

[sturdy mauve]

It tp to your invitory

[gilded stag]

ignore the spelling

[tight pewter]

no it doesn't handle lag issues directly, but you can create a sort of lag compensation system with it (in the case of movement)

thats a bigger topic for another day though

[rancid comet]

Just add a click detector add a script make it so when activated clone the tool to the players backpack

[gilded stag]

okk

this bird is actually having a spasm

[sturdy mauve]

Bro yk how many people said a ton of stuff what to do

IDK

Lol

[gilded stag]

oh wait

its the override

[gilded stag]

should i add deb ounce to a jumping system

or is it a bad idea

[rancid comet]

Depends

[calm jetty]

i need a scripter for a easy game dm me for more info

[rancid comet]

Game or 1 thing

[calm jetty]

game but not advanced and prolly not take too much time

[gilded stag]

hows it looking

[rancid comet]

That’s good but it looks weird how it stops midair

[gilded stag]

I AGREE

but its cause the tween has the property to interrupt

i dont know how to fix it

[rancid comet]

Yeah idk either

[gilded stag]

ia sked chat gpt it said to do something like this instead of tweens
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt)
if gameStarted then
yVelocity = yVelocity + gravity
sprite.Position = sprite.Position + UDim2.new(0,0,0,yVelocity * dt)
end
end)

[tight pewter]

yeah a debounce/cooldown isn't a bad idea

[brittle token]

Why does the player have autism

[gilded stag]

what

its mario

[brittle token]

Mario has autism

[gilded stag]

does he

[tight pewter]

i think its looks okay vertically, the problem is that it stops movement horizontally? or am i seeing that wrong

[brittle token]

What else would make him go save princess peach every day for 30 years

[gilded stag]

yeah im really confused why

i know why but idk how to fix it

[tight pewter]

can i see the code

[gilded stag]

its that true thing

like true is the boolean for overriding other tweens

so it has to wait the entire 0.3

heres full code

[tight pewter]

yeah tweening at all might not be the best option here then, unless you can blend the horizontal movement into both tweens

the velocity idea seemed okay

[gilded stag]

thats what i tried doing

i might just make gravity not a tween

and the jumps a tween

[silk glen]

gravity shouldnt be a tween

[tight pewter]

you can just give the player a single velocity value (basically just a magnitude + direction)

[silk glen]

simply decrement the position of the frame off of the force of gravity

[tight pewter]

and then just change the direction based on whether it was a jump or gravity.

the vertical direction and magnitude*

[fair copper]

single dads

[silk glen]

have a incremental system which runs every second or so which decrements the position of the sprite by a certain amount every second (you can run this as a thread then kill it once the minigame is over), then when you jump it simply increments your position up by a small amount (or you can have it run as a tween, but simply incrementing the position is probably better

[tight pewter]

yeah, using something like renderstepped for this can be fine @gilded stag

[silk glen]

personally id just spawn my own thread so theres more control

[tight pewter]

this paired with lerping can make it smooth and allow for different effects

[silk glen]

you dont need to run the gravity every renderstep that's just pointless

[tight pewter]

you'd want to run it every frame

[silk glen]

oh true

[tight pewter]

heartbeat can be fine as well (or task.wait() loops)

renderstepped just seems more proper here for GUI but maybe im wrong

[silk glen]

personally i wouldn't use lerp or tween because if you have them overlap with eachother it will get messy but your horizontal movement issue is because your tweens are not calculating your horizontal velocity

take the horizontal velocity of your bird and add it to your tween, D/T = speed, T*S = D so if you have speed, then its just the length of your tween times your speed

[gilded stag]

Okk could I also use run service

[gilded stag]

Okk thank you

[gilded stag]

Okay thank you so much

I’ll rewrite the code tomorrow

[silk glen]

heartbeat is apart of runservice but it takes place after rendering

[gilded stag]

Oh alright

[north frost]

Does anyone know how to disable the jump button on mobile or reprogram it?

[silk glen]

rebind it

pretty sure its a context service thing

or no it isnt

eh i dont know

@north frost you can just set the jumpheight/jumppower of the player to zero

[north frost]

I already did but the button needs to disappear aswell

[silk glen]

search it up

[north frost]

I don't find anything that works

[fair copper]

[urban folio]

Who needs help building stuff

[jovial breach]

yo can anyone help me, im tryna make a leaderstats but the code isnt working:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
end)

when i test it no folder is appearing

[urban folio]

You forgot

The values

[jovial breach]

but shouldnt an empty folder atleast appear when i play test the game

bc of the instance

nvm issue solved

[dull sleet]

is it a bad idea to use context action service and user input service together?

[tight pewter]

not necessarily

but it can be redundant in some cases

[wet basalt]

I usually use CAS when I need to bind an action to an input for a long time, while I use UIS when I just want to check for an input at a specific moment. In a way, CAS is like a more polished version of UIS

[brittle token]

Goofy ass animation

[silk glen]

CAS is used for specific input-related situations whilst UIS is meant for global input-related situations

for example, pressing W makes the player go forward, this is a example of UIS

on the otherhand, pressing R to reload a gun or pressing E to turn a engine on whilst in a car would be a CAS situation, where you only want to bind that input to that specific situation

[rain otter]

would anyone know how to make a local script show for everyone? (not changing the script to a server script) like am i able to fire a remoteevent on all the clients to show something?

[silk glen]

clarify

btw thats a very bad idea

[rain otter]

basically im making like a bow and whenever i use a serverscript the arrow that gets fired lags

but the arrow wont show for everyone only the client (cause of the local script)

[silk glen]

you have to use a script as a medium and you don't want to have client-authoritative arrows anyways because that'll make it rlly easy to exploit

but absically

localscript -> :FireServer() -> server -> :FireAllClients() -> replicates to all clients

[rain otter]

alright ill try it out

[still oracle]

Building steal a crown i can code i need builders anyone wanna partner?

[rain otter]

are you paying?

[still oracle]

You'll get a cut

From the revenue that the game mKes

it worked, thank you man

[thorn frigate]

does anyone know an open source backpack (similiar to roblox backpack, with rearranging searching and inventory) module similiar to satchel with a stacking feature? or is there a modified version of satchel with stacking?

[wheat pumice]

no lol, its just a class to manipulate data, its general purpose

[frosty moat]

oh ok good to know

[forest mason]

holds a sequence of data that's usually just temporary

can be amything but usually bytes

[forest mason]

research roblox's path finding service it's good for most use cases and extremely simple

[neat sigil]

You can just adjust it with raycasting so it can’t get stuck and is actual smart

[gilded stag]

oh

chat do u know how did fisch implement weight system i already have it but i wanna the formula that fish or grow a garden using to scale model based on weight

[fair copper]

server math

i think it uses a multiplier

[real hemlock]

hey mozert

long time no see

[real hemlock]

ts as in typescript, if so https://roblox-ts.com

[hybrid shadow]

Hey guys, what would you say is the best way to learn coding? Heard lots of good stuff about thedevking, as well as the dev forum.

[fair copper]

start coding

[hybrid shadow]

Pretty straight forward

Any mini projects u would recommend doing?

[fair copper]

hmm

try making a killbrick with variations LOL

[crisp bay]

wdym

this guy tuff

[real hemlock]

"anyone know how to program ts with r6 though"

are you referring to typescript

if so ive linked what you need

if not explain

[crisp bay]

no lol this shit lol

[real hemlock]

What exactly

[crisp bay]

i just need a movement system like that but with r6 animations

[real hemlock]

Probably the same way, no?

Use userinputservice

[crisp bay]

no i need someone to do it

[real hemlock]

Then go to #scripter-hiring #scripter-hirable

👍

that'll be ur best bet

i mean someone here might but i dont spoonfeed code

[queen jolt]

yes there is

[spice oasis]

how do u change leaderstat height like that?

[queen jolt]

you cant

[merry shoal]

wym

make a custom one

[calm jetty]

hello everyone i am looking forward to hiring developers to work on my game its a very easy game to make and will not take that much working but in the future i would take some working when comming to updates and that type of stuff if u looking to join let me know payments will be included if u want cuts or ur preferd payments

[thorny trench]

that’s disgusting wtf 😭

luau ts is crazy

[silk glen]

this looks cool but why is it in r15

nicest looking r15 ever

[crisp bay]

Its cheaper as the game is heavily animation base if i did r6 plus more ppl like it also i need zombies so its way cheaper in r6 and also having to rig them aswell

[silk glen]

i see

u still looking for scripters

or did ur game finish up

[gilded stag]

am i able to put like uiframes into a folder

[split scarab]

can any of you make a script that my part regenerate cause i made a script that fall if you touch it and idk how to regenerate it

[gilded stag]

ignore how fast it is

[lapis parrot]

If any1 needs help with scripting lmk dm me i can do a reasonable price

[spice oasis]

then how do u explain the pixels showing up on that screenshot

[spice oasis]

the one in the screenshot doesn't look custom tho

[gilded stag]

anyone got ideas on how i should auto generate these

[zenith ravine]

Teach me gangyo

[queen jolt]

make ma minimal distance threshold

then calculate the distance between two objects in 2d

and randomize the Y position with a minimal distance

[gilded stag]

what

no idea what that is

OH

wait no i understand that

like where u subtract to make sure theres enough room

but how do i generate more

to come from the right

[merry shoal]

k

[queen jolt]

you tween entire screengui containing elements

and generate them as you tween

[merry shoal]

:Clone()

[gilded stag]

for the pillars i didnt tween i just added onto the position

[queen jolt]

idk what you just said

[meager anvil]

https://medal.tv/games/roblox/clips/kZNJdrSitqyxRiyWk?invite=cr-MSxidlosMzEyNDgyMTU&v=3

Just asking if anyone knew how this effect was made? Not really sure what to think

sorry to jump into a current convo

[queen jolt]

what effect

[rapid eagle]

Camera

[meager anvil]

Moving slide, since its an image isnt it?

[queen jolt]

its camera position change and tween moving to side

[rapid eagle]

Big image move it

[queen jolt]

or rotating

idk

[rapid eagle]

That's a ui

[meager anvil]

Ah, so just make the image go out of bounds of the camera while making it move certain directions?

[queen jolt]

sucks

[meager anvil]

Ig that makes sense

[rapid eagle]

Let's say a screen is 1920 make it 2200 and move it

[meager anvil]

Thank you m8 ❤️

[gilded stag]

like .position += udim2.new(0,3,0,0)

[zenith ravine]

Yall mess with the mud walking sound made by : @turbid quest

[gilded stag]

i just linked it to the gravity loop rather than tween

[gilded stag]

did u made the sound effects urself ❤️

[zenith ravine]

The guy at the top of ur reply made the mud sound

[gilded stag]

ye i clocked as soon as i replied

[turbid quest]

I think theres a big diff between the sounds

[queen jolt]

tweenservice the entire background around the bird

[gilded stag]

i used tweening for the bird

[turbid quest]

Like either the mud needs to be smoother or the grass courser

[gilded stag]

whats the point of doing the background

woah woah woah buddy

someone is angry

[queen jolt]

go read how original flappy bird works

they tween background and cleanup mess

[turbid quest]

Hey hey its okay

[gilded stag]

i know that but what is the point

i literally did NOT ask for that help

i asked for a completely different thing

[zenith ravine]

It’s not bad just needs to be smoother

[gilded stag]

silly goose! 😹

[stark helm]

ok ,thats prob bannable

[zenith ravine]

They wouldn’t ban u for that but prob a mute

[gilded stag]

hes in a code discussion channel getting angry

Bro deleted that message when he heard ban

[stark helm]

still improvement

I respect it

[queen jolt]

local function generatePillars(frame, minGap)
    -- Math
    local frameHeight = frame.AbsoluteSize.Y
    local frameWidth = frame.AbsoluteSize.X
    local gapY = math.random(minGap, frameHeight - minGap)

    -- Visuals, change whole shit its ass
    local topPillar = Instance.new("Frame")
    topPillar.Size = UDim2.fromOffset(50, gapY-minGap/2) -- change this if its not right size
    topPillar.Position = UDim2.fromOffset(frameWidth,0)
    topPillar.Parent = frame
    
    local bottomPillar = Instance.new("Frame")
    bottomPillar .Size = UDim2.fromOffset(50, frameHeight - (gapY-minGap/2)) -- change this if its not right size
    bottomPillar .Position = UDim2.fromOffset(frameWidth, gapY + minGap/2)
    bottomPillar.Parent = frame
end```

Truer

[queen jolt]

skid this

[gilded stag]

Thanks!

[queen jolt]

idk if it works bro

tweak it

[stark helm]

I have a history of getting banned for rule-breaking stuff I stopped doing once someone asked me to, and they still banned me

[gilded stag]

i didnt use offset

i used scale so i was gonna do

generate random decimal from 0,1

and then make sure when subtracted it should be under the length of the bird

either way the decal i used for the pillars is too tiny i need to replace it first

yay!

[queen jolt]

why it has jump button

[gilded stag]

are these close togethr

[gilded stag]

i just did it for mobile users

[queen jolt]

detect clicks

inputended

[gilded stag]

i did thjat too

[queen jolt]

it works on mobile

[gilded stag]

And space bar

jump button bad then?

[queen jolt]

idk?

[queen jolt]

yes

[zenith ravine]

Code it that it only appears for mobile

[queen jolt]

😭

anything below it doesnt work

so your connection is invalid

[gilded stag]

what

[zenith ravine]

Make sure u scale it and offset it so it looks clean for mobile to also u should add a ui corner and ui stroke

[queen jolt]

while loop yields the thread

[queen jolt]

this doesnt work

[gilded stag]

its scaled

[gilded stag]

the function is above it?

[queen jolt]

what

it doesnt connect

[gilded stag]

oH

[queen jolt]

oh

just do

[gilded stag]

yes it does

[queen jolt]

no

[gilded stag]

trust

[zenith ravine]

Yes it does

[queen jolt]

mind explaining

[gilded stag]

works

[somber vault]

https://streamable.com/gww5fy yo do we like this guys

[queen jolt]

because you have click connection dumbass

[gilded stag]

jump.mousebutton1click:connect:function()

xxx

are u sayingdo it like that

[gilded stag]

ye but ur not explaining what i should do

[queen jolt]

remove click detection for now

i really doubt it connects since while loop yields the thread and it wont allow anything past it

[gilded stag]

ohhh i see

i get u i get uill put it above

[queen jolt]

dont use ipairs

add comments\

[gilded stag]

ok ye works

how come no ipairs

[queen jolt]

do closures

they look better imo

[gilded stag]

no idea what that is

i dont even know what ipairs are iether i just use them

[queen jolt]

any iterator function isnt required

and is actually faster

[gilded stag]

how do i generate the new lengths

[queen jolt]

any function that is created on runtime

actually its not even closure

just do :Connect(function() end)

[queen jolt]

what

for _, pillar in pillars do

if you asked that

do math.random(arg1, arg2) it looks better imo

[gilded stag]

does it make a big difference

ye i was gonna do that

i stole this from learning how to print decimals

[queen jolt]

holy wairforchild nest

[gilded stag]

is there a float randomizer

[gilded stag]

why not

the bird is the most important

[queen jolt]

there is a floating point precision error

[gilded stag]

doesnt work for that

[gilded stag]

yeahh

[queen jolt]

youre just dumb then

show me what youre doing

[gilded stag]

im asking

i havent changed anything yet but

should i just generate

a number from 1 to 1000

and then divide it

[queen jolt]

math.clamp

[gilded stag]

thanks

i do python so i only know random.randint

[queen jolt]

remove ipairs

pillarpairs too

youre gonna remove it anyways to make it generting

i gtg now

dm me if you need anything

[gilded stag]

this is temporary yea

ok thx

[sage glacier]

What would be the equivalent to beginner projects in python like tic tac toe, rocket countdown etc to lua scripting. Are combat systems too advanced to start with?

[somber vault]

yes

[static coral]

just do the same in lua

🤯

[opaque granite]

yes

[turbid quest]

Just try playing around with what you can do until you get more advanced ideas

[gilded stag]

flappy bird

im not joking

[gilded stag]

oh

[rotund ore]

I am about to crashout, I have used this animation method for ages, yet it just stopped working in one game and works in another, can you help?

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local plr = Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = hum:WaitForChild("Animator")

local idle = Instance.new("Animation")
idle.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://79841468322486"

local IdleAnim = animator:LoadAnimation(idle)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    IdleAnim:Play()
end)

Local script inside tool, R6

[plush sorrel]

You should use #code-help for this but just dm me so I can help 🙏

[rotund ore]

I did, that channel is always not about code help, but discussing memes

im going to cry its not working

how can add to setup to make the head use a bodygyro to move up and down. i've tried it but it moves the entire body. is it because of the neck motor6d?
