tell me what technique you would use to do this

[raven marsh]

[obsidian herald]

My English is bad, if you don't understand, ask me again and I'll speak.

[obsidian herald]

It looks like you are using experimental or beta content, just go there and disable it

[raven marsh]

[mental dew]

go beta settings

and disable

Does anybody here have any links to some good example github repos using a module loader setup? I found MaximumADHD's template project on github but he doesn't include any example service modules and I'd like to see how other people are structuring their services.

my current setup just has an init function for each service but Maximum ADHD uses an init function and a run function so I'm curious how one would use both

I guess we're just supposed to define a type for the service at the script head and then actually declare values for those components in init?

oh mb he uses an init function and a start function, not a "run" function

[lean ocean]

Initialize manually

[spark willow]

what do you mean by this?

[torn cargo]

-- Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")

-- References

local PlayerData = ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("PlayerData")
playerdata keeps yield i dont know why, can someone help me, yes it is in sss

[cinder basalt]

what is playerdata

[torn cargo]

profileservice

[cinder basalt]

and is it named PlayerData

[torn cargo]

its stuff is in the folder called playerdata

[cinder basalt]

and why did you put it in serverscriptservice if theres serverstorage specifically for that

[torn cargo]

u right

idk

[cinder basalt]

ofc i am

[torn cargo]

its a package

[cinder basalt]

fix it

right now

[torn cargo]

thats why it told me to put it in sss

[sour rivet]

is this actually a coding channel

where ppl can help unlike #code-help

yo @cinder basalt u down to help in here with the same problem u didnt fix

[cinder basalt]

i fixed

i never fail

stay silent

but fr bruh im not gonna write u allat

i tried to guide you

[sour rivet]

but like the concept?

[cinder basalt]

i did give you the concept

[sour rivet]

there was like 15 people typing at once bro i didnt see

[cinder basalt]

just search it up

[sour rivet]

search

up

[cinder basalt]

its somewhere there

[sour rivet]

[west plover]

Anyone want to join my dev group? We help each other out

[main idol]

Sure

[sour rivet]

@wheat trail

i want it only in the area where i touch the blue part

not the house blue part

the other pne

gimme a sec i gotta brb

[wheat trail]

you can use an if statement so that you can only use the tool in the gameplay

that or you can use a BoolValue and switch it whenever you like

[sour rivet]

do you know how im kinda new to scripting

[wheat trail]

how do i help

[sour rivet]

nvm im tryna figure out how to get the player not the character when the plr touches a part idk if that makes sense

[wheat trail]

absolutely not

no sense

[slender wharf]

Are you asking, if the player touches the "other" blue part. And get sent to the new location, they can build? Or what.

[faint ore]

maybe just change a variable after they touch it and teleport

[somber vault]

Why is it so difficult to find someone who can do front end work, typecheck, and use OOP

[cinder basalt]

because oop in luau is 🤮

[compact spoke]

why oop

[sturdy dagger]

oop sucks man

[sweet radish]

what would be the best way to find out the exact position on a textbutton that the user has clicked/pressed?

[dusky owl]

pretty sure that event passes the mouse location

[wheat trail]

light work

[sweet radish]

what if its a mobile player?

[dusky owl]

Pretty sure it accounts for that

[sweet radish]

hm ok

[dusky owl]

in what world?

or do you just mean in Lua?

[sturdy dagger]

roblox its just confusng

self metatables

i would rather learn basic modulescripts and function

[dusky owl]

OOP definitely serves a purpose though

[sturdy dagger]

yeah it does

[idle musk]

ur brain's just small

[sturdy dagger]

is it

[idle musk]

u dont need metatable for oop

this is the optimal way to do oop in luau

[sturdy dagger]

oh dear

so like

[cinder basalt]

my opinion on it changed the moment i used it

it just so shit 😩

is anyone working on a Pacific Rim game

[cold stirrup]

Can someone make me a script for a owner chat tag colour black for tag

[sick gyro]

would anyone code for my 2k game?

[iron kraken]

thats not actually better bud

[sick gyro]

its cause its 3d clothing

we alr added it,i had a texture where he had underwear but idk who remove it

[cinder basalt]

Freaky ahh modeler

[sick gyro]

do u script?

[idle musk]

Cap

[iron kraken]

its worse cuz u cant make child classes without metatables

[west plover]

anyone wanna join my dev group? We help each other succeed

[iron kraken]

its also worse cuz every object stores its own function instead of sharing

[wheat pumice]

not really, inheritance where?

[west plover]

who here wanna join my dev group? We help each other succeed

[idle musk]

Why would you use inheritance

[wheat pumice]

sometimes its useful

Is OOP actually worth it in Luau?

[tired remnant]

Why wouldn’t someone just do it themselves? In this server, when you ask for “help” in that manner, it is seen as asking someone to do all the work for you, so you’re just asking someone to come up with an idea for you and do all the work?

[dusky swift]

no, i mean ill work too but i might need help with certain stuff because im new to game developing

[tired remnant]

I’d suggest adding somewhere in your ask for help what your current skills consist of and what you think revenue share should be. The number of people in this server who essentially say “do this for me, I can’t and don’t want to learn how, I’m not giving you anything either” is ridiculous

[dusky swift]

ill do 75% 25% i get 25

i want to learn but i find it way too confusing and i want someone to explain to me so i can kind of understand

[timber sedge]

chat im abouta crash out

im tryna make this jump power script for my game but it wont work

basically just waits for humanoid and sets humanoid jump power

when i check the Players (after pressing play to test) and then click my player i dont see any humanoid

is it just my skill issue or the script or my player

[wheat pumice]

the humanoid is in the character

nit the player

[timber sedge]

uh

oh

dumb me but

no errors show up in console and my jump power is still the same

[wheat pumice]

because your waiting for something thatll mever happen

it just yields, it should timeout sooner or later with a warning

local Humanoid = LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
Humanoid.JumpPower = 100

[timber sedge]

oh

[remote bear]

guys are 8 bit buffers faster then tables when dealing with numbers under 255

[timber sedge]

uhh is the script supposed to be in serverscriptservice

[hasty mesa]

only on server

with native

without native its slightly slower

[timber sedge]

it gives me attempt to index nil with character error 😭

i swear im gonna murder roblox studio

[remote bear]

ok ,thanks

[wheat pumice]

no.

LOCALPlayer

[timber sedge]

OH

starter player scripts fine?

[wheat pumice]

mhm

[timber sedge]

alr

still same error tho

[hot fjord]

does anyone wanna help me make a game we can split 50/50? [scripters needed mainly, i model build and do ui + gfx / animations and rigging included]

[timber sedge]

whats the game about? (if u dont wanna say game idea just say theme)

[timber sedge]

i changed it to game.Players.LocalPlayer instead of just LocalPlayer and now its attempted to index nil with waitforchild

[hollow plinth]

what are you trying to do?

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

then local char = player.Character

[west plover]

Anyone want to join my dev group? We build with each other and help grow.

[hollow plinth]

sure

[hollow plinth]

i lowkey never did jump power but whats the error ur getting dm me

[snow raft]

Hello

Object oriented code is objectively better than data oriented or functional code in all circumstances

[hollow plinth]

??

[snow raft]

If you are wrong you are in denial of the future

[timber sedge]

oh, its just attempt to index nil with 'WaitForChild' error

[timber sedge]

using this one

its a localscript in starterplayerscripts

[hollow plinth]

dude dm me a screenshot of output error

[timber sedge]

alr

[hollow plinth]

its: local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)

[timber sedge]

yeah

[hollow plinth]

yeah???

[hot fjord]

maybe smth cash grab for now so we can get enough funds just incase a game ever fails we still can get back on our feet

[timber sedge]

Is there anything apart from the way roblox handles rendering for us to optimize big, nice maps?

Like are there popular loading systems etc or is roblox streaming the best/most useful we got

They released the rendering that only renders objects you can see, and unrenders behind walls. Thats nice, but is there known ways people optimize better maps via code?

[vapid wedge]

Hide irrelevant objects on lower graphics settings

[static coral]

you can divide map into zones and only load the one player is currently in and then put the rest in replicatedstorage, this method heavily depends on ur game tho

and may create loading screens during gameplay

you should try to optimize map without scripts first

like turning down renderfedility on things that dont need precise hitboxes and use special meshes for meshes who dont need collision or meshes that are in the background (special meshes dont render bounding box at all and can bypass size limit). also turn off shadows for things that dont need them and include settings menu for user to toggle off unnecessary effects and to disable global shadows

and dont use realistic lighting style if u need performance

guys whats an optimal way to structure ui? ScreenGui with different frames, frames contain ui stuff based on subjects or Different screengui

[strong fog]

what

you usually go for

screengui -> frames -> (your objects here)

[somber vault]

wth

i use screengui folder frames

[strong fog]

what

you mean

screengui -> folders -> frames -> other objects here

[somber vault]

Screengui
Folder

YE

[strong fog]

well

you can do like that

it not matters

[somber vault]

my rep

when i table smth i do Manager --> Data.

like this

[strong fog]

good practice

storing info in tables is nice

[somber vault]

its a example thing abt sellmanager --> SellData

[narrow vault]

so being skilled means that?

it just means im smarter

[strong fog]

can you explain what is difference between scripter and programmer in roblox

[sour vine]

u can be either 100% scripter or 10% of everything else

[strong fog]

no

[narrow vault]

scripter =

codes in a engine like studio, eith everything already prepared

[strong fog]

i just get too confused when people says coder/programmer/scripter

isnt it same thing

[narrow vault]

programmer = you code in a compiler like vsc

where everything is NOT handled to you

[strong fog]

so

[narrow vault]

scripting is coding too

[somber vault]

i use both i use vcs in school because it doesn't allow roblox studio

[narrow vault]

but its not programming

[strong fog]

if you writing code in luau through rojo in vscode

is it scripter and programmer

[narrow vault]

sort of

but y tf u use rojo

tryharding final boss

[tired violet]

coding in a compiler?

what

[fair copper]

performative scripters use rojo

[ocean oasis]

😭

who here has been doing commissions for some time now

i have a few questions if thats alright

[narrow vault]

programming is compiled?

[somber vault]

send them

[narrow vault]

scripting is interpreted

programming is basically building the software

scripting is using the software to code w it

[strong fog]

nah

[ocean oasis]

how good were u when u started

[strong fog]

biggest tryhards is who use lua react

[tired violet]

what

[steady cove]

fake

[narrow vault]

me with vanilla lua:

[strong fog]

20 modules in client and serverside 💀

[tired violet]

you can use software to write code to be compiled

[strong fog]

my gui handler has 500 lines of code

thats crazy

[narrow vault]

holdon translate this

i understood 0

[strong fog]

what

[steady cove]

which language is that

[tired violet]

fym which language

[strong fog]

what you talking about

[narrow vault]

i think u didnt understand gng

scripting is telling existent software what 2 do

[steady cove]

do you mean robloxts?

[narrow vault]

like u cant code shit like a engine w luau

but w c++ you can

[sour vine]

HTML

[steady cove]

whats that supposed to mean

luau is for roblox only

[tired violet]

you said scripting is using a software to code. im saying programming isnt strict to what you use to write code on

[narrow vault]

i did say that tho

i gave vsc as a example or even

[steady cove]

vsc is rojo

[narrow vault]

you could go ancient and use notepad++

[cinder basalt]

or 100% at everything

lua react

[steady cove]

top tier choice there @blazing oasis

[blazing oasis]

thats what im doing but i need a faster way

[steady cove]

there's aint faster way than using tweenservice, if you want just make your own library

[narrow vault]

i got hired for 300 eur for a skyislands game where a user starts on a island and has to expand it

worth it?

considering the game core is alr done

i did it in 1 day

[tired violet]

such as

[steady cove]

if you completed the 300euro task in 1 day it's great

[narrow vault]

lua's designed to be light weight and embedded, with a tiny ahhh library and ecosystem

and also

[strong fog]

make your own framework

be the creator, not the product

while yes its flexible its not good for big projects

[blazing oasis]

lol

[narrow vault]

lua sure in some cases, but in some

i give you the point

but its 50/50

[steady cove]

you can't program in luau

[strong fog]

fair

[steady cove]

luau is a scripting language you can't program with that

programming is building something from stratch, scripting languages just gives steps to build the game

roblox converts that luau code into c++ so you can actually play it, games doesn't run on luau directly

[strong fog]

bro

[steady cove]

roblox literally coded with c++ wdym

[strong fog]

are you know luau?

[strong fog]

fr

really?

[steady cove]

wow thats great

[strong fog]

what does cin >>

in c++

[steady cove]

what does it prove to be exact

[narrow vault]

it converts but not into c++

[strong fog]

omg he also typescript programmer

bro i can inject your roblox game with single bytecode

secret method

[narrow vault]

bytecode is a literal machine written in c++

[steady cove]

oh my god dude

[narrow vault]

so hes not wrong

[steady cove]

c++ gets converted into bytecode by the compiler they're different things

c++ is a programming language because it's directly converted into bytecode

[narrow vault]

though

[steady cove]

whats your proof on that

[narrow vault]

u can use --!native so the converts into machine codr

[steady cove]

if I'm false i would likely to be informed

??

[autumn vale]

there would be no point to convert it into c++ cuz c++ uses compiler too, i think they convert it into exe and all done

[strong fog]

pov : one bytecode converts in full object with 67 parameters and methods

[narrow vault]

once again u can use --!native

[steady cove]

it litteraly says luau is a scripting language

[strong fog]

bro invented a quantum programming

[steady cove]

you cant program with a scripting language thats it

[narrow vault]

wrooong

[autumn vale]

who even does that lol

[strong fog]

LOL

[steady cove]

"all scripting languages are also programming languages" so why would you give them different names 😭

[narrow vault]

good boy

[bleak urchin]

Does someone know how you’d add different animations (like idle, walk etc.) depending on your team?

[narrow vault]

having different animate scripts 4 each team

[steady cove]

you use 2 words there "programming" and "language"

[narrow vault]

or replacing ids based on teams

[autumn vale]

as much as html is in my oppinion

[strong fog]

pov : replace the animations when player changes the team

[bleak urchin]

How would I do that 🙏

[strong fog]

are you programmer?

[steady cove]

you gotta make the second words the same to prove your point fam 😭

[autumn vale]

so scratch is not programing language becouse its not a language but blocks??

[steady cove]

like in programming language and scripting language

[strong fog]

its not the channel where we will write code for you

[autumn vale]

leme gess u only know luau?

[steady cove]

it's a language but not a programming one

[strong fog]

bro it makes no sense

its why it has no sense

[steady cove]

romance language is not a real term though

oh wait yeah

[autumn vale]

do u know how to code anything in any other language than luau?

[steady cove]

but human languages not @frail yarrow

[strong fog]

the knowing few html things from basic education program of IT is not makes you a programmer

[steady cove]

whats your point there fam

[autumn vale]

kid i used to make sites in react not just html before i got bored out of it and moved here

maybe not pro react but it was react not just plain html

[strong fog]

bro programming is not lego blocks where you connect them to make smth

lua react

[autumn vale]

ur onto a point

[autumn vale]

??? i was talking about react.js

[autumn vale]

thats what i am talking about

i agree

#building is so much better

and #code-help too

isnt that roact?

[strong fog]

bro why you joining roblox game dev server when you html "programmer"

[autumn vale]

bro i aint html programmer whats ur deal and for the 100th time html is not a programing language

[steady cove]

just support your argument bro no one's matching wits

[strong fog]

peace, love, tolerance

spread love, not the hate

[steady cove]

human languages is not a term

it tells computer what to do

scripting languages tell the programming languages what to do

that simple

things that u dont have cuz u said why i join game dev server like bro whats ur deal and u still havent put a awnser on my question

[steady cove]

it tells c++ what to do so that c++ can tell computer what to do

why's that?

[autumn vale]

tf did u just say well eh ur kinda right

[steady cove]

it's a virtual machine not a language

[autumn vale]

and i said kinda not fully

also we forget something proggraming languages are compiled

[steady cove]

what do you think it's being compiled to

[autumn vale]

machine-readable binary ofc

[steady cove]

well does cpu read luau bytecode?

[steady cove]

ok what's your point then

that's what I'm talking about

[autumn vale]

there are 2 ways to go with code

compile it all at ounce and than execute it

and the other one is execute it line by line

python does it line by line

while c++ compiles it first

[hasty mesa]

wellllll the jvm can compile it into machine which the cpu reads

[steady cove]

well jvm does reads it and it acts like a machine

[hasty mesa]

true

[steady cove]

so you're telling me roblox luau runs in a virtual machine?

how does it interact with the roblox engine then

[hasty mesa]

yeah the luau vm

[hasty mesa]

it interects with the cpp side of the engine?

[strong fog]

pov : you in forest and you writing lua bytecodes on stone for future generations

[steady cove]

i dont really understand

pls explain

[hasty mesa]

roblox adds the engine api into r-luau

[steady cove]

so luau vm interacts with the api?

[hasty mesa]

yea

[steady cove]

ok so luau vm doesn't communicate with cpu isn't it?

it could run at cpu but you're still interpreting so that roblox engine can do it's job

[hasty mesa]

yeah but the same can go with compiled languages

if cpp were used instead it would just utilize the roblox api

[steady cove]

that's true

[hasty mesa]

luau is like java where it can be interpreted line by line or compiled

[steady cove]

but if it's luau in roblox context it's a scripting language

[steady cove]

cool

[frank needle]

does anyone know how pls donate gets your gamepasses Ids?

[steady cove]

thanks for enlightening me btw @hasty mesa 🙏

☹️

oK I REVERTED

WOOHOO

[royal moth]

.

[strong fog]

fun fact : the scripters makes games, not the builders

[austere relic]

my projct managing is in a few decent like 500 player ccu games

mostly lookin for a dev partner

[cinder basalt]

names

[austere relic]

to work on this project with and then learn from our mistakes and grow as a team

[cinder basalt]

no

[strong fog]

biggest lies i ever heard today

[cinder basalt]

bruh dont be hater

let him name the games

[austere relic]

dang

[cinder basalt]

just name the games dont worry about him!

[strong fog]

bro he will not name the games

[austere relic]

its uuhm

[strong fog]

just look

[austere relic]

a lil embarssing cuz they brainrot games

[strong fog]

he gonna try escape

[cinder basalt]

500 ccu is not embarassing

'guys theyre brainrot games and uhm, i dont have the role there and in fact im not even in the groups and not mentioned anywhere but i manage them from the shadows'

[austere relic]

can i send links here

[cinder basalt]

[austere relic]

uhm

dont hate me guys

[strong fog]

you are owner of it?

[cinder basalt]

so whats your user

[austere relic]

no

im not a owner

i was a former dev and project manager

i ended my job on good terms

with the owner

[cinder basalt]

oh ye u ended ...

[austere relic]

yea i said it earlier

[cinder basalt]

and were removed from the group i must assume

[austere relic]

nah im still a member

[strong fog]

bro why you try to scam us

not everyone should have 500 ccu games

there is nothing embrassing

[strong fog]

?

more details

[sour rivet]

k gimme a sec

[cinder basalt]

ima make a wild prediction

[strong fog]

dont 😭

[sour rivet]

so i made a script where u can place parts and i dont want it to be active during the main game, only when im in like this certain area if anyone can help

[austere relic]

im not? tryin to make a game with a new dev partner

[cinder basalt]

out of all these 500 ccu games that you managed, for every single one of them youre not gonna have any role nor credit

[strong fog]

if mouse.target == "your part"
then

[sour rivet]

wym

im a new scripter..

[strong fog]

just add attribute on your part where you want player can place it

and then do check

if mouse.target:hasattribute("your attribute") then

[sour rivet]

so uh wait

[austere relic]

if i ended the job why would i still have studio access?

lets say u had a successfull gam

and a guy worked for u

then u ended his job on good terms

would u want him having access to the games studio?

[strong fog]

i want to believe 😭

[lean ocean]

[slow depot]

Tycoon game which includes:- -well made map with trees. - 8 tycoon buildings ( not based on any theme). -auto collect money mechanisms with leaderboard. -Different working gamepasses in shop button like gravity coil,speed coil,sword,leaser gun,2x cash multiplier and may be more but not less. -working guis. -working rebirth button with requirements and cash multipliers. -upgrade buttons on tycoon (fully functional). All works perfectly u just need to add 1 or 2 floor on tycoon and your gamepass id and nothing and little modification if u need. The price i set for it is only 2000 robux because I don't have time to work on it I alr get hired for big project but for your information u can hire me too I'm a builder,and modeller but I suggest to focus on buying my game. If u r interested DM me.

[sour rivet]

how do i make it so a script isnt active unless im in a certain area

update

[echo hedge]

Are you expected to update rhe game if u get petcentage payment?

[dapper oriole]

disable it from beta settings

[cinder basalt]

hell bro its almost as if you should talk it over with your employer

as far as im concerned #code-discussion is not your employer

[orchid mirage]

you should update the game to however much you got paid

[simple snow]

My brother is a python coder he can do print commands easily, dm for commissions

[cinder basalt]

can he print ANYTHING?

[echo hedge]

No I am far from having the skills to do freelancing i was just curious since I was seeing all these ppl paying in percentages yk

[surreal sky]

what do u do in terms of skill?

[echo hedge]

Hmm I see thanks appreciate it

[cinder basalt]

everything you gotta discuss with the employer

[orchid mirage]

if you got paid 10 euro worth of robux you should do 10 euros worth of updates

[west plover]

Who wants to join our dev group? We are building and helping each other grow.

[cinder basalt]

so like 30 mins worth of update

🔥

[orchid mirage]

just vibe code for like 30 mins and don't even test it just push it to prod

we have a senior dev here

where should I start if I want to start developing/where should I begin learning?

[cinder basalt]

maybe its not ai and hes just very dumb

troll post either way

[cursive pebble]

is there a way to figure out where a remote is being fired from?

[cinder basalt]

add a print before firing

[cursive pebble]

adding that print would require me to find where its being fired from...

which is exactly what im trying to do..

but cant..

[cinder basalt]

how do you not know where your remote is firing

[cursive pebble]

its an old script

[cinder basalt]

just add the print everywhere where its fired

ctrl + shift + f

[cursive pebble]

no you dont understand

[cinder basalt]

ctrl + shift + f

and look for fire

look in scripts that reference that event

[cursive pebble]

there's like 5 scripts that use this and ive disabled the remote everywhere its being used to try to find the one causing the issue and i still cant find it. there's still 1 instance of it being fired and im not seeing it anywhere

[cinder basalt]

ctrl

SHIFT

[cursive pebble]

i did

nothing is there

[cinder basalt]

then you did something WRONG

[cursive pebble]

thats the first thing i did

[cinder basalt]

theres no other way

you screwed sth up

[cursive pebble]

yeah and im trying to unscrew it by finding out where the remote is being fired

[lusty sentinel]

why does roblox studios command bar use a completely different modulescript cache from actual game scripts

when i required from the command bar it gave me a different module identity than from all my game scripts

they are both run on the server

is this a bug or intended

because if its intended i certaintly dont think the command bar should be isolated from the game

[autumn vale]

Tf u mean

Like the unique I'd?

I think it's because one is in game and one is in studio so in game it's another unique id

[autumn vale]

While editing or playing?

[autumn vale]

U can do that with the output bar, super useful btw gives u link to the line of the print/warning/error

[autumn vale]

Yes change the remotes name add like a dot in its name or smth open output bar and see where the error appears. I think there is better way to do this but this one should work

[lusty sentinel]

IF
local Module = require(game.ServerScriptService.ModuleScript)

print("Module identity:", tostring(Module))

is ran on the Roblox Studio command bar, it gives: Module identity: table: 0x98af97a271bee381 - Server

IF it is ran on ANY Server Script ingame, it gives:
Module identity: table: 0xa31fdb8e1d9b2111 - Server - Script:3

This means that the modules have different identities

meaning it can lead to a wide range of phantom bugs

[autumn vale]

Ye ofc they will it's diff build

Every server has diff build so its diff unique id

[lusty sentinel]

Say a serverscript requires the Module, printing out a table, and shortly removing something from it

you then require the module from the command bar, BUT the removed item is still in the table

this is because the requires are using different identities of the same module

[young yoke]

whats behavourtrees?

[lusty sentinel]

the command bar essentially is a parallel universe

If this isnt an oversight then this is extremely stupid

i expect the command bar to be linked to my game environment and not for it to a standalone isolated executor

[stable verge]

for people that have switched to input action system, say i had a gui button to open a shop frame, should i make an input action? or should i do guibutton.Activated

[hoary cedar]

What do you feel most comfortable with?

[snow raft]

everything

i am #1

[hoary cedar]

For real though, @snow raft

[snow raft]

i cant think of anything im not good at

[hoary cedar]

You're comfortable with everything on this list:

Variables
Datatypes
Arithmetic operators
If statements
Relational operators
Logical operators
Boolean logic
Scope
Loops
Functions
Arguments & parameters
Higher-order functions & callbacks
Tables
String library / miscellaneous operators
Task & coroutine library
Client-Server model
Events
Algorithms and data structures

?

[snow raft]

why specify arithmetic operators 😭

why not just say math

[smoky dagger]

whats upvalue

[snow raft]

yea id say i know all that

[hoary cedar]

Because that's unclear; I'm asking if you know how to leverage all math-related operators in Luau, not if you know mathematics

What algorithms and data structures do you know, @snow raft?

Do you understand Big O notation?

[snow raft]

in cpp write a program that stores 64 1 bit values in a uint64 that can read and write

then expand it into a table that can be dynamically resized

and have logical operators integrated

after you do that then you can name some specific random term for something in lua

[snow raft]

i could recreate math as bitwise functions in assembly

[smoky dagger]

im shivering rn

[snow raft]

you are asking me if i know math and i could make math

i am like a god

let there be light

[smoky dagger]

what abt metatables

[hoary cedar]

Again, I'm asking if you know how to leverage all math-related operators, not if you know mathematics

[snow raft]

gloal a = 2;
a + b = 3;
print(b)

prints 1

[hoary cedar]

That is syntactically incorrect

[snow raft]

its like a table

but meta

[smoky dagger]

[snow raft]

__index = function(self, key)
  return rawget(self, key);
end

[snow raft]

but is it tactically correct

im not sinful

so dont worry about sintactically

yea thats what i thought

Looking for investors on my game fully completed dm for more info

[tired remnant]

Why would you need investors then? If you need funds to hire more devs, that means your game isn’t very profitable and most investors won’t invest in smth that’s not profitable. If you are making anything off of it, you’re just going to be splitting that with another person, so what’s the point?

[queen kelp]

investing is lame asf

[hasty mesa]

upvalue isn't even really specific to lua

cpp also have similar things to upvalues

[snow raft]

oh is it not

search the word "upvalue" by itself

and the entire first page is just lua

the ai summary specifies that it is just lua

[hasty mesa]

in cpp its just called captures

get some experience dealing with deadlines and business till you feel confident in knowing how to talk to people about this stuff
