[cinder basalt]

😡

[slate igloo]

its better to use it since code could error if the player is laggy or smth and the script loads before the part or wtv

[weak garnet]

im a beginner scripter is there anything that i should learn now instead of waiting

[slate igloo]

mb gng ✌️

[slate igloo]

memorize funtion names and shit when to use this when to use that the basics of coding

its what u do for basically any language

[glad thorn]

In certain cases, the script will always load before specific parts based on the hierarchy and other reasons. In such a case, waitforchild is unnecessary

[cinder basalt]

huh

didnt you mean after

[glad thorn]

No

Wait

Yeah actually

[slate igloo]

if the part loads after the script without wait for child like lets say a few second after the code will error

[cinder basalt]

now its my turn

haha

[weak garnet]

gotcha

[sweet radish]

is it bad to store vector3's in a table on the server? im talking about hundreds. And if so, is there a better approach I can take while still being able to store and access vector3's?

[cinder basalt]

meditate and gather aura

[cinder basalt]

no

[slate igloo]

after the basics you wanna learn how to reduce memory leaks and then straight to OOP jk but u wanna learn easy things like organizing code better modules and shi

[cinder basalt]

tables are your friend

[slate igloo]

then getting into more advanced things like OOP and physics and shit

[cinder basalt]

they handle a lot

[slate igloo]

tables are peak but also really painful to work with

[cinder basalt]

its not like vector3 is anything more than 3 numbers

[cinder basalt]

oop isnt more advanced

its just another approach

[slate igloo]

its not smth u learn straight away

[cinder basalt]

u could

[slate igloo]

also actually using OOP is pretty advanced

to understand and to use something are completly different things

[cinder basalt]

youd usually just need the basics to use it in 99% cases

[slate igloo]

i feel like modues are a real pain to understand for beginners

since this still happens to me sometimes you cant figure out where u want what function to go like in ur head it sound easy but to actually do it is much harder

[cinder basalt]

oh ya mean like knowing where to put what

i just put whatever is not related solely to one thing in a module

i end up having too many modules though so idk if thats good

[slate igloo]

the most painful part about scripting will always be how time consuming it is

[cinder basalt]

works for me

[slate igloo]

real

also i recently starting using sub modules to store data holy its such a life saver it make sit so easy to add things idk why i didnt use it before

[cinder basalt]

the most painful part is keeping motivation for some dumb side projects

[slate igloo]

i always get side tracked into making some useless shit that i never use

[cinder basalt]

ya same

i have reusable stuff but recently ive just been remaking same things over and over

[slate igloo]

also the most demotivating thing is probably having to spend days fixing problems

just to find some stupid solution that actually somehow worked

[weak garnet]

what even is oop

[bleak glade]

only if you believe that part could be nil during script runtime, else dont use it as its 20% slower than dot indexing

[slate igloo]

unless 99% of ur player base are on 0 ping i doubt taking a milisecond longer to find an instance

[bleak glade]

why would i chose the slower option when i dont need it, its 8 times slower than storing a reference too

[slate igloo]

to prevent players with terrible wifi from breaking code for themselves

[bleak glade]

??? thats not how script execution works

[slate igloo]

alr breh its 3 am im just saying wtv now

nuh uh

im doing smth in studio

which i forgot about cause i started talking in this sever

😭

i got side tracked

not really doesnt affect me much

not everyone is the same ✌️

[wintry totem]

anyone releasing a project soon? I don't really see people talking about an up and coming project often

[urban folio]

Any One What To Make A Cash Grab Game With Me I Am A Builder And Animator if Yes DM me

[arctic hazel]

find first child grabs the first thing under an object like a script under a killbrick
wait for first child checks for an object and relays a message if it cant find one or if it doesnt exist before going on with the code

my understanding of it

atleast

[lusty barn]

no

your understanding of waitforchild is wrong

what it does is literally in the name tv bromote

[acoustic pulsar]

how to code

[lusty barn]

it waits for a child, doesnt just "relay"

[lusty barn]

https://tenor.com/view/jonmud-jon-mud-jon-mud-tiktok-weird-creature-weird-gif-12599924096182926896

[fiery otter]

it will yield until it finds it or will time out

[lusty barn]

yeah

[arctic hazel]

checks for an object and if it doesnt find it wont just nil it gives an error does it not?

i thought thats what it does

[fiery otter]

it wont error it will warn

[cinder basalt]

100 pages of waitforchild discussion

when the name is self explanatory

[glad thorn]

Yeah, i meant the other way around. I.e., if a script is inside a part, the part will** always** load before the script runs

[cinder basalt]

maybe this indeed was our #code-discussion

[fiery otter]

it will repeatedly check for i think 10 seconds

[cinder basalt]

forever

[lusty barn]

it WAITS.

[cinder basalt]

you can set the time

[fiery otter]

no

it has a default time

[acoustic pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/avengers-endgame-thanos-nerd-alert-opinion-nerd-gif-26272469

[lusty barn]

literally in. the name ahhahsdh 😢

[fiery otter]

it will forever if you pass math.huge

[lusty barn]

wait. for. child

[cinder basalt]

no bruh

waitforchild waits forever

[lusty barn]

did you even read ts bro

a warning

[cinder basalt]

reading comprehension

[slate igloo]

yea but who puts a script in a part?

[lusty barn]

will then disprove you

[slate igloo]

thats not a good way to code stuff

[acoustic pulsar]

ding dong

[lusty barn]

gen alpha reading comprehension

[fiery otter]

if nothing is passed then after 5 seconds it will yeild

[lusty barn]

it's already yielding ahhhh

😭

[acoustic pulsar]

You think everyone is gen alpha don't you

[cinder basalt]

then it will print an information ...

[lusty barn]

literally just read the paragraph ...

[cinder basalt]

not yield

[fiery otter]

bro

😭

[lusty barn]

i'm saying they have the reading comprehension of that of a gen alpha

[cinder basalt]

it yields indefinitely

[lusty barn]

even though they likely are.

[cinder basalt]

thats what the print tells you

[acoustic pulsar]

hes not...

[fiery otter]

it will enter a loop and check for 5 seconds then it will yeild forever if nothing is found after raising a warn if you pass a wait param then it will wait for the time passed and it wont yeild forever but still raise a warn

[cinder basalt]

EXACTLY

[acoustic pulsar]

hes prolly better than most people here at scripting

light glaze

[fiery otter]

thants what i said to start with 😭

[cinder basalt]

what is your stance here cus youre disproving your past self in every message

you said that it checks for 10 seconds

[acoustic pulsar]

bro thinks hes charlie kirk

[cinder basalt]

whar

[fiery otter]

i was guessing i forgot the default timeout

[cinder basalt]

it checks indefinitely ...

[fiery otter]

bru

[cinder basalt]

oh my god

[acoustic pulsar]

everytime someone disproves themself while debating, charlie would say stuff about how they were just disproving theirself

[glad thorn]

Least obvious ragebait

[fiery otter]

there is a difference between a thread being yeilded vrs a thread being stuck in a loop

[cinder basalt]

what else am i supposed to say

[acoustic pulsar]

its a joke jamal, calm down

[cinder basalt]

ye i know but what else am i supposed to say ...

[slate igloo]

💔 im going to sleep gang

[fiery otter]

ones still running while the other is suspended or closed

[cinder basalt]

and

[cinder basalt]

.

[acoustic pulsar]

and.. cork it

[fiery otter]

i think 😭

[lusty barn]

stuck in a loop IS yielded

[fiery otter]

i didnt check the time

[slate igloo]

i wanna quit scripting and do animating but im just too lazy to do either scripting or animating 💔

[cinder basalt]

its not about time

[acoustic pulsar]

then sleep

[cinder basalt]

its your 10 seconds vs indefinitely

[slate igloo]

Yes LT SUR!

[fiery otter]

ok ok

lets clear this up

[cinder basalt]

.

you said it has default time, you did not mean the warning

[slate igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/davedchaos00-gif-17100771176659621416

[acoustic pulsar]

3 am motivation is key

[slate igloo]

its 4 am now 😔

[fiery otter]

before i checked the docs I was trying to remeber the timeout and thought it was 10 seconds instead of 5

[acoustic pulsar]

wth is lp

[slate igloo]

idk

[cinder basalt]

we were talking about the 2nd argument of waitforchild

[acoustic pulsar]

sleep for 23 hours

[fiery otter]

a thread being stuck in a loop is not the same as a thread yielding

they act similar

[cinder basalt]

if you set it to something, it will return nil after that time

if you dont, it will yield indefinitely

[fiery otter]

and it wont forever yield

[cinder basalt]

yeah, but by default it will yield forever

[fiery otter]

yes

[acoustic pulsar]

code discussion < bully-discussion

[cinder basalt]

thats the opposite of what you said before come on dude

[fiery otter]

you were saying it will repeatedly check forever

[acoustic pulsar]

bro never heard of mistakes

[cinder basalt]

hes not admitting to it though hes trying to sneakily change his stance

[fiery otter]

this implied that it will check for 10 seconds then stop

im not 😭

[acoustic pulsar]

forget it

[fiery otter]

ive explained the source code behind wfc

[acoustic pulsar]

You're too focused on the past

[cinder basalt]

yeah thats what it implies

and thats wrong

it still checks

[cinder basalt]

i have no better place to be atm

i might as well

this is the most pointless argument ever though

[acoustic pulsar]

discuss coding ❌
roast someone for not knowing 1 thing ✅

[fiery otter]

after the warning is pushed it will stop checking

[cinder basalt]

how am i roasting him

[acoustic pulsar]

get off his weiner

[cinder basalt]

no it wont

[fiery otter]

dawg this is a simple debate im not gonna kill him over it

[cinder basalt]

the warning is just there, nothing changes in the behavior

[fiery otter]

ok

then try doing this

[acoustic pulsar]

L for left side

[arctic hazel]

i think i get it now

got 67 sound to work

[fiery otter]

make something inf yeild then make it true

[acoustic pulsar]

...

67 meme is annoying

[fiery otter]

and you will see it will not go back and it exits the checking loop

[acoustic pulsar]

let it die

[arctic hazel]

let me have fun

💔

[acoustic pulsar]

we doing anything but leaking the list bro

[lusty barn]

is this on client or server

[acoustic pulsar]

ik david bazooka is on it

[acoustic pulsar]

should be client

tbh

I assume its client

[arctic hazel]

client

i believe

[lusty barn]

then you need to waitforchild not findfirstchild

but for gods sake define it at the top

[arctic hazel]

define the if statement?

[lusty barn]

sound

[arctic hazel]

ah

[lusty barn]

you also really dont have to check if sound

if you use waitforchild

[arctic hazel]

more like this?

[lusty barn]

no brah

[arctic hazel]

but i should also swap local sound defined at the top?

[lusty barn]

define sound at the top

and you didnt get rid of the else and following print

[cinder basalt]

why dont you try it

[arctic hazel]

just deleted that

[cinder basalt]

youd see that it literally keeps waiting for that part

[lusty barn]

local sound = workspace:WaitForChild("67Sound")
local randomNumber = math.random(1, 67)
print(randomNumber)

if randomNumber == 67 then
    sound:Play()
end

[arctic hazel]

waiut

i have 2 sound plays

[lusty barn]

no need for the (67)

the == tells the parser that it's gonna find an expression anyways

[arctic hazel]

can i use parenthesis to define multiple outcomes for the same sound to be played?

[lusty barn]

and

[arctic hazel]

if i wanted it to be (6, 7, 67)

ah

thank you

[lusty barn]

if you have a lot more, use a table

and check if that table contains the number generated

[tough fable]

local numbers = {6,7,67}
local sound = workspace:WaitForChild("67Sound")
local randomNumber = math.random(1, 67)
print(randomNumber)

if table.find(numbers,randomNumber) then
    sound:Play()
end

i think

[warped sundial]

who wanna join a community for making simple roblox games

[arctic hazel]

#scripter-hiring

[arctic hazel]

should i change print random number to be based off a person joining

or is it like that already

for person to person?

[cinder basalt]

???

youre a troll arent you

[lusty barn]

you probably don't understand the difference between client and server

[fiery otter]

i praise you now 💀

[lusty barn]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/understanding-the-difference-between-server-side-and-client-side/2589383

[fiery otter]

i honestly didnt think it worked like that

[arctic hazel]

will read this

[fiery otter]

i swear it hasnt always done that but cool

the more u know

[arctic hazel]

OH

sentence in and i get it

local script describes client or single person?

[lusty barn]

yes

[cinder basalt]

either way what you wrote is some hellish spawn

[arctic hazel]

so if a the local script applies a number to everyone once upon joining would a server script give everyone a new number upon 1 person joining?

[fiery otter]

im dead ass

[fiery otter]

5 min code 💀

[lusty barn]

nah

localscript runs in each person's player and only affects their client

[arctic hazel]

like using moves in the game?

[cinder basalt]

did you ever write code before that ...

[lusty barn]

server script would give the server a number, and a print would happen on the server

[lusty barn]

huh

[arctic hazel]

if you were to use a move in the game the local script would be applied there right?

because its coming from your keybinds?

[lusty barn]

input would yeah

then you would hand it off to the server for hitboxes and everything else

[fiery otter]

yes 🙄

[lusty barn]

with a remote event

holy yap

[dapper oriole]

Does anyone know a module with useful type functions? The only one I know is typeforge

[fiery otter]

im actually shocked that roblox does this its a massive memory leak 💀

[weak garnet]

im learning how to script a door using TweenServices but the door is rotating on its center not on the side

can anyone give me help

[cinder basalt]

It doesnt do that actually

A while true loop on every waitforchild would be deadly

[fiery otter]

I was guessing they only check once a frame

[cinder basalt]

You just wrote that waitforchild not accurately at all

[fiery otter]

5 mins dude

And I wasn’t comparing the results to my creation

[ionic horizon]

is there an affective way on detecting alts without using roblox's ban api?

[warped sundial]

who wanna join a community for making simple roblox games

[lusty barn]

impossible

you'd need their ip

[cinder basalt]

player:getIP()

[lusty barn]

no way

[ionic horizon]

is this allowed?

[lusty barn]

what do you think my guy

[ionic horizon]

you suggested it to me ❓

[ionic horizon]

'you'd need their ip'

[tough fable]

yes?

it is impossible, because you would need their IP

[fiery otter]

The closest thing to a location you can get is a country from Roblox

[tough fable]

ye

[ionic horizon]

cant you just do a request to an api to get someones ip?

[tough fable]

okay now consider this

is that allowed? 🤔

[ionic horizon]

maybe

is it?

[tough fable]

what do you think gangalang

[ionic horizon]

yes

[tough fable]

you are wrong

i mean it'd be quite invasive

to store every single player's IP

[ionic horizon]

cant u encode it

[idle musk]

Yes because you can send requests on the client

For sure

[ionic horizon]

on the server ❓

who said it'll be a localscript

[tired remnant]

Are you stupid?

And also, tf you mean “encode it”

[lusty barn]

oh yeah that's magically ok

because roblox can trust every game to encode sensitive location data properly

or even allow the withholding of sensitive location data

can we just think for a moment.

[ionic horizon]

he never said anything abt roblox trusting people

he just said it would be invasive

your putting words into my mouth 😂

just realised that, was just thinking of a general idea

how do people even detect alts efficiently then, or do they just not

[tired remnant]

They don’t

It’s literally impossible

Roblox will not let you get any personably identifiable information about any user

And for the most part you shouldn’t need to

[wintry totem]

One time I wanted to have girl screams for girls and boy screams for boys for deaths. it didnt let my scripter 😄

or he didnt know how to the right way, not sure

[ionic horizon]

would getting small details like the sensitivity, graphics quality and screen resolution and matching them all together be good?

[tough fable]

thats too vague

all you can rly do is check their avatar

& do smth based off of that

yeah youd have to rely on like

if theyve got like the female torso or smn

[wintry totem]

🤔

[tough fable]

but thats only 1 item

ye

[tacit fossil]

what's the best and most user friendly replacement for remote events in y'alls opinions?

[tough fable]

could just let the user decide

[limber flume]

looking for investors on an already running game average 50-100 ccu

[tacit fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/shaquille-o'neal-shaq-time-out-stop-stop-it-gif-8464852630431003027

thanks

[lusty barn]

kinda a weird thing to do though

like if you're playing one someone else's account of a different gender

or put the wrong one at account creation

[wintry totem]

it sounds weird in writing. I just wanted the yells to match the gender

it was for stepping on a lego and dying

[lusty barn]

would be weird to be male and be locked behind a female voice every time you play the game

[wintry totem]

well if your character is female then it makes sense

like think of normal games, your character's voice matches them lol

[tacit fossil]

how the fuck do i use bytenet bro

where the fuck is the documentation

i get there's documentation but i can't find clear instructions

[idle musk]

Use blink

Or zap

[tacit fossil]

which one would you say is friendly for someone new to networking libraries?

[idle musk]

Just learn blink

It’s good to know

Do you use vscode?

@tacit fossil

[tacit fossil]

i've considered it

but it seems like a headache

[idle musk]

It’s not a headache

You can learn how to use it in 1 hour

And it increases your productivity forever

[tacit fossil]

does it have autofill/intellisense?

@idle musk

also which plugin do you personally use to connect vs code to roblox

[idle musk]

Yeah and it’s much better than studio

[idle musk]

Rojo

[tacit fossil]

alright

[short void]

hey bro

[idle musk]

If you use vscode make sure you install the luau lsp extension, Selene extension, and stylua extension

You also need to install rokit which is your tool chain manager

And you’re also going to want to install blink, Wally, and rojo from rokit cli

And you should also have stylua and Selene cli tools downloaded also, you can view the install instructions from their GitHub pages and you can use cargo for Selene and maybe stylua

And you should also download the pre compiled binaries for luau so you can view bytecode and stuff

If you’re into docs try moonwave which u can install thru npm

Oh yeah and also install git

@tacit fossil

[tacit fossil]

good lord

[tired remnant]

Wouldn’t be reliable. It’s also different across accounts, it doesn’t carry over. One can have max graphics settings while the other can have min.

Most people also tend to have the same settings and there isn’t enough difference in resolution to 100% know it’s not a different person

[ionic horizon]

👍

[teal yacht]

Is ot faster to script?

And organized

[drifting iron]

ladeez calm down ladeez

both confuse me af :3

[tacit fossil]

fine i'm using vscode

i better not regret it

[idle musk]

It’s not like you write code faster but you get better formatting, better linting (so less bugs, more customization, better version control and collaboration (git), better package management with wally, and then you get better networking

They’re pretty much the same

[violet frigate]

can someone tell me how tf you debug on rojo

[idle musk]

What’s your problem?

[violet frigate]

can you place breaking points

[idle musk]

Yeah

You run code in studio

[violet frigate]

😭

yeah but thats ass

[idle musk]

Just how it is

[violet frigate]

constantly switching back and forth is just not worth it imo

[frank pollen]

local function fovCast(originAttachment, fovDegAngles:number, maxRange:number)
    local params = OverlapParams.new()
    params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {originAttachment.Parent} -- excludes the enemy thats emitting it
    params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude

    while enemy:GetAttribute("State") ~= "Dying" do
        --task.wait(1/workspace:GetAttribute("TicksPerSecond")) -- custom refresh rate to not flood the server
        task.wait(1)

        local forwardVector = originAttachment.WorldCFrame.LookVector
        local originPos = originAttachment.WorldPosition

        local sphereCast = workspace:GetPartBoundsInRadius(originPos, maxRange, params)
        local coneTargets = {}
        table.clear(coneTargets)
        for _, detected in ipairs(sphereCast) do -- add a filter to only things with humanoid
            local model = detected:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
            if model and model:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") and model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then-- allows explosive barrels and other stuff to have health bars instead of just HRP then
                local targetPos = model.HumanoidRootPart.Position
                local dirToTarget = (targetPos - originPos).Unit
                local dot = math.clamp(forwardVector:Dot(dirToTarget), -1, 1)
                local angle = math.deg(math.acos(dot))

                if angle <= fovDegAngles / 2 then
                    if not table.find(coneTargets, model) then
                        table.insert(coneTargets, model)
                    end
                end

            end

        end
        print(coneTargets)

[proud fable]

How do I become a experienced scripter if I currently know if, elseif, else, function, remote function etc

[violet frigate]

have you heard of larping

[proud fable]

No

[violet frigate]

you should do some research on it, its the fastest way to become an experienced dev

[proud fable]

Ok I'll see

[dull sleet]

make stuff

[violet frigate]

L advice

[dull sleet]

it’s the only advice

[proud fable]

Give me ideas

[violet frigate]

are you braindead

[tacit fossil]

bruh i'm using vscode to make games for the first time and this is hell 😭

[violet frigate]

rojo is the stupidest shit ever

[tacit fossil]

fuck this shit i'm not a big studio i don't need rojo

2 hours wasted

[violet frigate]

not even big studios use rojo lmao

[outer falcon]

Does anyone has a game 1m+ visird

[violet frigate]

sure why

[tacit fossil]

yeah

[outer falcon]

Call both dm me

[violet frigate]

what

[tacit fossil]

it's midnight, no lol.

[outer falcon]

.

[proud fable]

WHY!!!

[outer falcon]

.

[idle musk]

Dawg it’s not that bad

[tacit fossil]

it is

[idle musk]

Most do

[idle musk]

U open your terminal and type rojo serve

[violet frigate]

name a front page game that uses rojo

[idle musk]

And u get file sync

[idle musk]

Bedwars, anime vanguards, adopt me

[violet frigate]

only anime vanguards is front page from those 3

[idle musk]

Pretty much every large studio uses rojo

Or atleast every large project

[violet frigate]

yeah but large projects are not suitable for roblox

[idle musk]

There are some large games like gag that don’t use any external tooling but they are the minority

[violet frigate]

if you look at the top 10 games with the most ccu rn all of them were made in a week 💀

[violet frigate]

you mean the majority

[idle musk]

There are large projects on roblox

[violet frigate]

I know but they dont get the ccu they deserve

[idle musk]

any professional Roblox development pipeline will be using external tooling

Period

[violet frigate]

we are strictly talking about rojo here

[idle musk]

Yeah

[violet frigate]

you just said external tooling

and roblox development is anything but professional 😭

[idle musk]

as in rojo, git, external text editors

[idle musk]

Lots of front page games are ran by corporations

[violet frigate]

I said development

[cinder basalt]

Same applies to development

[idle musk]

Using studio alone for large projects is incredibly inefficient

[violet frigate]

brook haven is ran by a corporation, can guarantee you the devs are nothing but professional 😭

[idle musk]

And just a very very poor decision

[violet frigate]

using roblox for large projects in general is a bad idea

[lean ocean]

Stop hating on studio

[violet frigate]

go use an actual game engine

[cinder basalt]

Oh ye that maybe

But when you see the copycat games that plague frontpage, thats mass produced commisioned slop

[idle musk]

You need to use studio to publish games on the Roblox platform and Roblox is a very good platform for smaller developers to make multiplayer games and earn revenue

Roblox has a lower barrier to entry and is generally easier to grow an audience and make money than publishing a game to steam

[cinder basalt]

Wow

[idle musk]

Atleast for smaller / indie developers

[violet frigate]

okay I agree with that but you were talking about large projects

[cinder basalt]

This man is speaking smart

[idle musk]

Yeah, there are large projects on Roblox

[violet frigate]

made by small devs?

[lean ocean]

like none of the front page games are large projects

[violet frigate]

thats an oxymoron

[cinder basalt]

Where were you when i was saying same thing yesterday and people told me roblox sucks

[idle musk]

Small groups of people can make large projects

[outer falcon]

yo

[cinder basalt]

Define large project

[idle musk]

Using studio only for any long term project is just a bad idea

[outer falcon]

anyone has 1m+ visits

[violet frigate]

I just think you are complicating shit with rojo

[idle musk]

LOC isn’t really a good metric but I’d say anything above 50-100k loc could be considered a large project

[cinder basalt]

Why

[cinder basalt]

Then there isnt many indeed

[idle musk]

Maybe someone like you can’t really derive benefits from using external tooling but it makes some other people more productive

[outer falcon]

guys

[violet frigate]

can I see a game you made with rojo btw

[outer falcon]

what is a game to become famous fast

[cinder basalt]

Whar

[outer falcon]

what game gets famous fast

like in a few weeks 1m visits

[cinder basalt]

Verb a noun

[lean ocean]

none of the luau roles in this channel have any games 😭

[idle musk]

I make games for other people

[violet frigate]

professional larping

[cinder basalt]

They put all their effort towards getting role ofc they dont have games

[violet frigate]

okay send me a game you contributed to then

[cinder basalt]

Y need like avg 300 ccu to get a mil in a month

[outer falcon]

oh

that is much

[cinder basalt]

Why you need a mil

[tacit fossil]

does he know the crown of o's is discontinued

[outer falcon]

I want 1m visits

[cinder basalt]

For what

[spiral jungle]

I didn’t get my crown of o’s

[outer falcon]

to make earnings

[idle musk]

Get 300-500 ad creds

[cinder basalt]

Whats crown of os for

[violet frigate]

@idle musk

[cinder basalt]

Thats not how it works

[violet frigate]

can I see the game you contributed to

[outer falcon]

thats expensive

[cinder basalt]

Is that for having a mil visits

[outer falcon]

my friends got that too 1m visits

[spiral jungle]

Ummm idk

[cinder basalt]

Bruĥ

[spiral jungle]

I have a lot and they didn’t gimme anything

[idle musk]

I have 200 billion contributed visits

[cinder basalt]

Wtf

[violet frigate]

💀

I found the final boss of larping

[cinder basalt]

Top 1 dev

[idle musk]

I make like 1k a month off roblox comms

[violet frigate]

perfect, let me see a single game you contributed to

[cinder basalt]

This man worked on:
Steal a brainrot
Grow a garden
99 nights in the forest
Fisch
Dead rails
Blue lock rivals
Blade ball

[cinder basalt]

How many visits is that

[violet frigate]

he wrote the engine pal

[idle musk]

Definitely more than u

[violet frigate]

great, lets see it

[cinder basalt]

So that applies

[outer falcon]

dm rq

[lean ocean]

Same man

[outer falcon]

gotta ask smth

[cinder basalt]

Thats for 1m visits?

[outer falcon]

most I ever had is 30k visits

[lean ocean]

no I'm missing my 100 mau crown

[spiral jungle]

Ridiculous

[lean ocean]

100k

[spiral jungle]

Sameee

[cinder basalt]

Theres a 100k crown?

[spiral jungle]

Like I literally had 10M MAU and I didn’t get anything

Smh

[lean ocean]

Mhm

[arctic hazel]

finished the beginner scripting tutorial

im moving onto the big leagues

[sand chasm]

[short void]

can someone explain the difference from devcomputercameramovementmode and cameratype

[zenith ravine]

I have a problem for some reason I Roblox my systems work but when I try them in studio they don’t work?

[azure shuttle]

Tutorial hell moment?

[hollow thicket]

weurd

[vast hound]

That moment when your game is ready but some systems need to be fully rescripted cos you can't find what's causing the bugs 😔

[tidal bolt]

technical debt from bad design choices my beloved

[slate bloom]

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local source = HttpService:GetAsync("https://pastebin.com/raw/YHUqRJ7r")
local Astra = loadstring(source)()

-- Demo usage
local Tab = Astra.CreateTab("Demo Tab", "YourName", "Astra")
local MainSection = Astra.CreateSection("Main")

Astra.CreateButton(MainSection, "Click Me", function()
    print("Button clicked!")
end)

Astra.CreateToggle(MainSection, "My Toggle", false, function(state)
    print("Toggle is now:", state)
end)

Astra.CreateSlider(MainSection, "My Slider", 1, 100, 50, function(v)
    print("Slider value:", v)
end)

local dropdown, _, _ = Astra.CreateDropdown(MainSection, "Choose", {"OptionA", "OptionB", "OptionC"}, function(opt)
    print("Selected:", opt)
end)

local tpButton = Astra.CreateButton(MainSection, "Teleport", function()
    local sel = dropdown.Text:gsub("^Choose: ", "")
    print("Teleport to", sel)
end)

tpButton.Active = false
tpButton.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(150,150,150)

dropdown.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    task.delay(0.2, function()
        if not tpButton.Active then
            tpButton.Active = true
            tpButton.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
        end
    end)
end)

Open source UI Library made by yours truly

[lean ocean]

yea

looks terrible

[slate bloom]

you havent even tried it

it was made in like 30 minutes lol

this is just an open beta

[vast hound]

Not bad design choices. My scripter just didn't have much experience when starting out 😔

[tidal bolt]

exactly, bad design choices from not having enough expierence with what works and what looks like a good idea but is actually godawful

[vast hound]

Ohhh

I didn't understand that you meant design choice for the scripting "method" lol

Yeah makes sense

[mortal shore]

hello im trying to learn scripting and i have no idea where to start do you guys have any suggestions?

[rigid rover]

youtube and roblox dev forums

[echo anchor]

Hi

[rigid rover]

hi

[fair copper]

yo whats the best way to like emit vfx off of weapons?

just spawn vfx parts with specific cframes?

lmao

[round tulip]

anyone here who is quite familiar with the ProfileStore module?

I just got a question

In my game players can build their base using blocks and I have it set up so everytime a player adds/removes a block from their base it adds/removes the record of it from Profile.Data.Builds

all im wondering is if the constant changes that are occuring will cause the datastore to throttle?

[cinder basalt]

No

Unless you run profile:Save() along with it

[modern sierra]

u should only save data when players leave the game

or an auto save every few minutes if u wanna be careful, but entries into datastore too often can cause issues

[round tulip]

Okay I looked in the module and yeah it only autosaves every 300 seconds by default

[cinder basalt]

Doesnt profilestore autosave

[modern sierra]

i havent used profilestore so

[round tulip]

And I assume it handles server crashes and things like that

[kindred cargo]

I believe so, yes. I've used it.

[cinder basalt]

Well if you make it handle them

Though its not like you can predict a crash reliably

At most you lose 5 mins worth of data

[kindred cargo]

What even executes when a server crashes? I wouldn't expect any scripts on the server to be running in that case but I could be wrong.

[modern sierra]

If ur servers are crashing reliably thats a hint you need to optimize your game

[cinder basalt]

Nothing 😭

Would be a great world if you could run code on server crash

[modern sierra]

Unless u have like 200 players and like have servers in an unstable region (any server rhat isnt in the US)

[cinder basalt]

Anyway you better send your profilestore handling code here

[kindred cargo]

I'm sure there are means to detect when one is likely to happen soon and prepare for it.

[cinder basalt]

If you are unsure as to how it works

[cinder basalt]

Ye thats what i said earlier, but its impossible reliably

[modern sierra]

U cant see ram spikes code wise im pretty sure

only lua heap can be seen, and u cant use it in code

[kindred cargo]

I don't necessarily speak in terms of Roblox but I understand.

Anchored BaseParts will not move. They are Anchored. Consider using WeldConstraints to keep a model held together.

[versed sonnet]

the problem is not that they are united, when i take off her anchor she simply takes flight.

[cinder basalt]

What if he moved entire world around it

[versed sonnet]

hm

[modern sierra]

Maube lacks mass, add an invisible part and weld it to the basepart and size it up

If not theres either a problem with how you are manipulating cframes or your welds are conflicting eith each other

🤷‍♂️

[trim basin]

Is autopost an option, or atleast reposting old posts?

for the marketplace

[grim moth]

Guys im giving a free asset if anyone wants.

[spare hinge]

me.

[rustic nova]

Oh

[random pine]

Yo how do you make it so when you upload a new booth in your donation game that the game passes will show up if you know how To dm me lase trying to put them on my Halloween booths for my update

[static coral]

wouldnt BindToClose callback run

[cinder basalt]

Thats on shutdown

[static coral]

yes but BindToClose passes a reason for server shutting down which could mean that its also when the server crashes

[cinder basalt]

Roblox handles shutdowns but crashes cant be handled

[cinder basalt]

The moment its detected the server doesnt have time to execute the code

I doubt it even can detect it

[static coral]

found this https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/enums/CloseReason

so it probably can

[cinder basalt]

You gotta pass this ...

[static coral]

???

[cinder basalt]

Wait no

Ok it handles some cases

Wouldnt call them crashes though

Theyre called crashes because theyre not handled

If something triggers shutdown it means it got handled

[digital fjord]

hello chat

is there a way to code in python instead of lua ?

in roblox studio

[cinder basalt]

Wjat

[digital fjord]

😔

roblox studio use lua for script right ?

i wanna use python instead

is there a way

to do it

[cinder basalt]

No

How would you want this to work

[digital fjord]

💔

because i only know python

😭

wait u said how

not why

my brain is overheating

💥

omg

i cant even type correctly

[quaint gull]

no roblox studio only uses luau

[digital fjord]

😔

[cinder basalt]

Man learn python

Man realized he doesnt need python

[digital fjord]

i was forced to learn python

at school

[cinder basalt]

We all were

Just learn luau

[digital fjord]

no

im not learning any other programming language

[quaint gull]

luau isn't that hard

[digital fjord]

😔

[cinder basalt]

You know what else isnt that hard

[quaint gull]

me

[cinder basalt]

Woah

I was robbed of this opportunity

[digital fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/scratch-gif-19251325

why dont roblox use this

[quaint gull]

☠️

[digital fjord]

😔

peak experience

u know what

[cinder basalt]

This is harder than robloz

[fallen sierra]

python is decently similar to luau

[quaint gull]

true

[digital fjord]

fuck roblox, i will make my game on scratch

[cinder basalt]

false

[fallen sierra]

and if ur already a good programmer on python you wont have a hard time with lua

[fallen sierra]

my friend codes in python on his job and when he showed me his code i noticed some similar patterns

[digital fjord]

wait

i got an idea

[cinder basalt]

He may not have a brain

But he had an idea

aw bruh i pressed d instead of s

[digital fjord]

is there a way to make a game in roblox where we can code in python, like, there is a button and when u click it open a python code editor and a console

https://tenor.com/view/mogged-hamster-mewing-gif-14443947314872042523

i mean is there a easy way to do it

[cinder basalt]

Dear lord

[quaint gull]

you have to use luau

[fallen sierra]

no

[cinder basalt]

If you want this to work with roblox then no

[digital fjord]

i will use luau to use python in game

i can just re create python with lua in roblox

[lusty barn]

you’d have to recreate the entire interpreter

[digital fjord]

ok

[lusty barn]

no like

[digital fjord]

i will ask chat gpt to do it

[cinder basalt]

Python cant do roblox stuff

[lusty barn]

you ain’t doing that lol

[lusty barn]

lmaooo

[digital fjord]

but can roblox do python stuff

[lusty barn]

no I mean like this is not happening

[cinder basalt]

Youd have to custom make an interpreter

[quaint gull]

no

[fallen sierra]

atp isnt it easier to just learn lua

[digital fjord]

i will code in lua, but there will be an interface to do python in game

[digital fjord]

😔

[quaint gull]

you can only use luau for roblox

[cinder basalt]

It wouldnt even be python

[lusty barn]

that would just be a gimmick

[digital fjord]

low budget python

[lusty barn]

python sucks anyway man

[digital fjord]

real

[quaint gull]

true

[lusty barn]

it’s ugly and bad and slow

[digital fjord]

cobol ❤️

[lusty barn]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-picks-up-water-speed-irl-stream-reaction-gif-9814325023742374348

[digital fjord]

cobol is the most useful programing language

[vast frigate]

who else knows how to script HolyC and not lua

[cinder basalt]

It would be high budget python

[lusty barn]

why are you using holyc bro

just send it here though

[vast frigate]

how else am i gonna script a roblox game☹️

[digital fjord]

ask chat gpt to script

[quaint gull]

chatgpt sucks at that

[digital fjord]

bad script is better than no script

[vast frigate]

i need tips on learning lua chat been learning for 2 week and can print hi

[quaint gull]

practice alot

make your own systems

you'll learn alot from your mistakes

[vast frigate]

i can only code UI

bc i used to make it

[cinder basalt]

Wrong

[digital fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/mogged-hamster-mewing-gif-14443947314872042523

[lusty barn]

dilly dallying for 2 weeks

[vast frigate]

i mean i mastered printing

i can print hello very quickly

[lusty barn]

bro it’s one function 😭

[vast frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/krasi-fifa22-fifa22rage-fifa-rage-krasi-rage-gif-26170968

[vast frigate]

somethings better then nothing😭🙏

[quasi pelican]

yo guys any scripter free?

[digital fjord]

yes

im free

[quasi pelican]

i want a scripter for my game

its a tycoon

[digital fjord]

epic

[quasi pelican]

but i got like 1k robux

[digital fjord]

i work for free

[quasi pelican]

really

[cinder basalt]

persistence is key

[digital fjord]

yes

[quasi pelican]

dms?

[digital fjord]

but i dont know luau, only python

😔

[quasi pelican]

oo

[digital fjord]

thats why im free

[cinder basalt]

ive seen people make a full game without knowing how to code

[quasi pelican]

Nope

[digital fjord]

real

[plucky depot]

i actually need to stop putting it off and learn scripting can someone tell me the best place to start or something

[cinder basalt]

thats a statement

you cant nope it

[vast frigate]

🤣

[quasi pelican]

u cant

[cinder basalt]

u can

[quasi pelican]

if ur using ai u cant

[vast frigate]

some woman on tt just types out the game into a app in MVP terms and then uses that to make ai code

so she didnt code a single bit

[quasi pelican]

but this is roblox man

[vast frigate]

ive got a idea for beginner scripters to learn

[cinder basalt]

im not saying ai, but ive seen a guys game where he didnt know how if statements worked

[vast frigate]

why dont we

[quasi pelican]

i tried many ai

[cinder basalt]

and couldnt fix a bug because of that

[vast frigate]

why dont we get a group of beginner scripters and force them to work

so they have to learn no matter what

[plucky depot]

thats nto gonna do anything 😭

[cinder basalt]

but he had an actual game

[plucky depot]

where would we even start at

[quasi pelican]

i sware ill pay them

[plucky depot]

i think the most i can do is spawn a part and change its properties IF i even remember that

[vast frigate]

just first learn a certain thing

[cinder basalt]

good enough

go make a game around it

[plucky depot]

bro 🥀

[vast frigate]

then make sure u know how to use it

then go onto something else of scripting

then master it

then keep learning bit by bit

[quasi pelican]

anyone free tho? ill give them a percent and 1k robux which is what i have now

[vast frigate]

what u need help with

[plucky depot]

i think the most fun ive had with any sort of labor is making gui and modeling

ui whatever

[vast frigate]

i make ui

so

if u wanna learn to code for starts

if u make ui already

learn to script ui

[quasi pelican]

a tycoon script but not a odinary tycoon its a tycoon without droppers and i need scripters

[vast frigate]

dm me and show me the plan

ill see if i have the inspo to help

bc if its a cash grab i cba

theyre too borin

i prefer coding games that r exciting type shi

[quasi pelican]

what if u steal the idea?

[plucky depot]

make a really friendly looking game like grow a garden but make it have horror aspects to it that people would slowly find out 💔

[vast frigate]

why wld i steal the idea💔

[plucky depot]

and it would have hella lore

[vast frigate]

okay that is smart

i might make a clash of clans game icl

[plucky depot]

😭

[vast frigate]

bc i grind clash royale and clash of clans💔

[quasi pelican]

dms

[vast frigate]

ight

[plucky depot]

the amount of videos ive watched to try to learn scripting is insane

none of them were helpful at all

[plucky depot]

someone should do this with me lmao

[vast frigate]

i wld tbf

[vast frigate]

its like with maths

u cant just watch a video and expect to learn it

u have to try it abit for urself

[plucky depot]

yeah ik i was trying it

most help ive gotten from a video was by some guy called "script_ing" or something

[vast frigate]

i watch vids htat make scripting fun

[plucky depot]

thats where i learned the part stuff

[vast frigate]

like 5 players script a game

where they have to switch up

[plucky depot]

what would you do tho

[vast frigate]

it depends on wut u need doin fr

[plucky depot]

i mean i cant script, can model but if its a innocent game like that the models wouldnt be that hard, idk about ui cuz idk what it would be yet

[glad thorn]

Like, you watch that to learn? Has it actually helped you?

[vast frigate]

yh bc its my type of learinng

learning*

makes the videos more interesting for me tbf

so when they explain the code and wut it does its easier to take it

in

[glad thorn]

Ur w ragebait without realizing it

[vast frigate]

i watch alot of ppl but its just more understanding when i watch like them type of vids😭🙏

i watched alot of brawldev Rodev tbf

[plucky depot]

this the only model ive actually finished since i had nothing else to model

[quasi pelican]

any scripter free?

[plucky depot]

texturing is so goddamn annoying holy shit

i dont understand it at all

[quasi pelican]

yea man

[vast frigate]

it looks nice

[plucky depot]

library of ruina ❤️‍🩹

[quasi pelican]

it took me a long time to get set

its a pain

[reef sorrel]

yeah everybody would love to

[quasi pelican]

?

[vast frigate]

was about to make a ui frame and i couldnt be assed finishing it i am no where near done💔

[plucky depot]

im probably so washed when it comes to figma

i havent touched it in forever

[warm crescent]

yooo i do that too

[vast frigate]

i prefer photoshop

[warm crescent]

i be watching them videos every day

[vast frigate]

its so interesting watching it lol

[vast frigate]

frfr

[warm crescent]

yeah bro i learn so much from it

especially because they show so much code in those videos

[plucky depot]

the few that ive watched showed nothing 😭

[warm crescent]

nah ur trippin

[plucky depot]

deadass out of the couple of those videos ive seen

barely anything was shown

[vast frigate]

i got taught from them alot more then any other vids tbf

[reef sorrel]

i started coding a week ago and thanks to one of those videos i have millions of visits now

[plucky depot]

excuse me??

[vast frigate]

[warm crescent]

yo W

[plucky depot]

😭

[vast frigate]

that is crazy

[plucky depot]

???

[vast frigate]

i started 2 weeks ago and ive been rejected 5 times bc idk

[plucky depot]

you GOTTA be lying

[warm crescent]

can u show me some of ur code

[quasi pelican]

a week

nahhhhh

dauym

[vast frigate]

i dont rlly take ss of my code probs why i get declined😭😭

[plucky depot]

HOW DO PEOPLE LEARN THIS HOLY SHIT

[warm crescent]

dauym fr

[vast frigate]

i need to start doing tiny commissions to build my portfolio tbf

[warm crescent]

yeah same bro but i still managed to get hired

[warm crescent]

im ngl bro atp u can just do big commissions

i mean u be watching those videos often

[vast frigate]

every1 js wants portfolios of ur past work

[plucky depot]

send some of these videos my way oh my lord

[reef sorrel]

gang in a week ive already learned all the more advanced concepts like data serialization with buffers and using parallel luau for better performance on cpu intensive tasks

[warm crescent]

what have u made so far

[vast frigate]

the vids do like building and scripting

[warm crescent]

yo how many videos have u watched so far

i only watched like 5

[reef sorrel]

like 3

[plucky depot]

WHAT DO YOU LEARN WITH

THREE???????

[warm crescent]

dammm i guess ur a fast learner

[vast frigate]

working gui like loading screens, hatching eggs, a like conveyor system where crates come

[plucky depot]

YOU HAVE TO BE LYING

[warm crescent]

why would we lie bro

[vast frigate]

2 week in and ive not done much😔🙏

i might have exaggerated a bit

[quasi pelican]

HOWW i just started scripting today from a playlist from brawl dev

HOW

[vast frigate]

ive got 0 robux to my name and a 5k robux gold headphones😱

[warm crescent]

bro i have been working for 2 weeks

wym how

[plucky depot]

HOW DO YOU BECOME RICH IN 2 WEEKS

WHAT DID YO UDO

[vast frigate]

skill

[warm crescent]

[plucky depot]

SEND ME SOME OF THESE DAMN VIDEOS

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1290022688248827905/1396064465568661629/togif.gif

[quasi pelican]

send me bruv

please

[vast frigate]

i watch this guy sometimes

[warm crescent]

yooo i watch him too

[vast frigate]

he shows alot of building and scripting

[plucky depot]

i dont care about building i just wanna learn to fucking script man

[warm crescent]

bro im also kinda learning blender from those vids

cuz they show the models for the maps

[plucky depot]

building and modeling is two different things

[vast frigate]

he still goes over scripting

[quasi pelican]

what abt brawl dev?

[warm crescent]

i made this

[vast frigate]

i only watch brawl dev if im working on smth

[warm crescent]

yeah but they make the models for the map in those videos

[vast frigate]

i watch rodev for entertainment bc it helps me learn code overtime

[plucky depot]

send some of those supposed "scripting a game with 5 other devs" or whatever that apparently got you tons of visits and robux in 1-2 weeks already

[quasi pelican]

he has a biggener lua seires which im using it rn

[warm crescent]

biggener seires?

really?

i need that

[quasi pelican]

@warm crescent

[warm crescent]

local SUBSCRIBED = true

[quasi pelican]

i am logged out

[reef sorrel]

local subscribed = false

[warm crescent]

thats funny cuz its lua

[reef sorrel]

🤣

[warm crescent]

yeah that one also had me rolling on the floor laughing

[quasi pelican]

local subscribed false
wait(10)
local subscribed true

[warm crescent]

xd

[quasi pelican]

no wait

[reef sorrel]

yo nice

[warm crescent]

still waiting

[quasi pelican]

local.subscribed = false
wait(10)
local.subscribed = true

[warm crescent]

yo W

u corrected it

[vast frigate]

its the best way

[warm crescent]

whats the best way

[vast frigate]

u think theres ppl who code in different languages like russian lua😭

[quasi pelican]

print("im pro at scripting")

[quasi pelican]

heal na

[reef sorrel]

yeah

[vast frigate]

if local.subscribed = false
print("im noob at scripting")

[warm crescent]

yo is that ur code

looks advanced

[reef sorrel]

its from my cousin

[vast frigate]

okay that is the most glorious thing ive ever seen in all of scripting

[warm crescent]

niceee

[vast frigate]

looks like alien technology

[quasi pelican]

lol

[wanton cloud]

I feel like I can kinda tell what it does without knowing the language

[warm crescent]

yoo good job

[quasi pelican]

lol whats this arabic?

[reef sorrel]

yes

[vast frigate]

i might learn arabic so when i code in it itll look mysterious to most

[warm crescent]

xd

[quasi pelican]

no offence

[warm crescent]

haha

[wanton cloud]

the best way to obfuscate your code

[warm crescent]

skull emoji fr

[quasi pelican]

nvm i dont wanna get banned

[warm crescent]

ur right

but u said no offence

so u cant get banned

[quasi pelican]

idk i might

who knows
