[strong fog]

you asked for help
we gave you a hint how to do it
you literally now being so mean 💀

[frank crow]

what im i supposed to do with a hint

this aint math class

tf

[rigid rover]

im helping ppl out of kindness in geography class and YOURE BULLYING ME FOR IT

[frank crow]

alr jimmy tuff knuckles

[strong fog]

quit scripting then

if you cant do anything by yourself

[rigid rover]

he didnt give u a hint he pointed you in the right direction and told u whst u needed to know

[strong fog]

scripting is about learning, doing mistakes, improving yourself, studying

[frank crow]

bro shut up gng no one asked you shit

[rigid rover]

im timmy man not jimmy

[strong fog]

not the chatting here for free code

fractal perlin noise

i'm not too sure if it works correctly

[loud cipher]

sure looks like it works from the single image you provided

[slate lotus]

function TerrainServiceClient.GenerateNoise(self: TerrainServiceClient, x: number, y: number)
    
    
    local basenoise = math.noise(
        x / self.resolution * self.frequency,
        y / self.resolution * self.frequency
    ) * self.amplitude
    
    
    -- fractal noise
    for step = 0, 6 do
        local noise = math.noise(
            x / self.resolution * self.frequency / 2 ^ step,
            y / self.resolution * self.frequency / 2 ^ step
        ) * self.amplitude * 2 ^ step
        
        basenoise = basenoise + noise
    end
    
    return basenoise
end

Does anyone have any tips for someone just starting out? Im a new scripter looking for help because i cant understand anything.

[slate lotus]

just do it

i recommend doing simulator games

however, make sure to learn about important stuff

such as code readablility and being able to send stuff securely (via client/server)

[last elk]

But i dont know how to script anything, i cant even script a door to become transparent if you touch it.

Thats how bad i am

[slate lotus]

take out models from the tool box, dont pick random ones and pick the most populare ones

so you don't get viruses

read through the code, recreate it and google what stuff means

such as 'what does instance.new() mean?`

[last elk]

I know what instance.new means

[slate lotus]

and look at tons of scripting videos

[slate lotus]

that's just an example

[last elk]

Oh

[slate lotus]

don't watch much tutorials as you might enter something called 'tutorial hell'

which in short means you rely on tutorials for everything

[last elk]

Alr

[granite igloo]

what do u want to make with scripting

[last elk]

Games, jobs, etc.

[granite igloo]

no like

pick something small then learn towards it

do what sav said

[last elk]

Alr

[slate lotus]

do small projects

don't make massive games at first

a simple obby is really good for a beginner

[last elk]

But its super boring.

[granite igloo]

what games do u find fun

[last elk]

Simulators, shooters and that stuff.

[slate lotus]

if you like shooters then take out a gun model and read the code

pick a simple gun model from the toolbox

and read the code

[last elk]

Okay.

[granite igloo]

lets say a third person gun

set that as a goal

[slate lotus]

and then you could learn to make your own gun

[granite igloo]

then google/read toolbox code etc

so u dont get bored while doing obbies

[last elk]

[wispy shale]

guys can somene tell me how to disable the W and S keys permanently in the game?
like just gimme the code for it so i can paste it as a serverscript in playerscriopts

[last elk]

--[[
This script disables forward/backward movement (W/S keys and equivalents)
and locks the camera to the side of the player's character.
Place this script in StarterPlayerScripts.
--]]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

-- Function to block movement actions
local function blockMovement(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
return Enum.ContextActionResult.Sink -- Prevents default action
end

-- Override default movement actions (works for all input types)
ContextActionService:BindAction("DisableForward", blockMovement, false, Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterForward)
ContextActionService:BindAction("DisableBackward", blockMovement, false, Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterBackward)

-- Function to update camera position to the side of the character
local function updateCamera()
local character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if humanoidRootPart then
-- Position camera further to the right side of the character, looking at the character
local offset = Vector3.new(12, 4, 0) -- 12 studs to the right, 4 studs up (further away)
local targetPosition = humanoidRootPart.Position + offset
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(targetPosition, humanoidRootPart.Position)
end
end

-- Update camera every frame
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
updateCamera()
end)

-- Also update camera when character respawns
LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
task.wait(0.1)
updateCamera()
end)

[last elk]

It also makes a side camera tho

[wispy shale]

lemme test

where to put it

[last elk]

StarterPlayerScripts

@slate lotus

I got this obby idea

You cant use w or s keys

And the camera is sideways

kinda

Like its stuck on the side

[slate lotus]

ohhh, so like a 2d obby?

[last elk]

yeah

[slate lotus]

yea sure, go ahead, i think that's a great idea!

[last elk]

thanks

[wispy shale]

why obby

[last elk]

Because im new

Its easier

[wispy shale]

ok

[last elk]

Better to learn

[wispy shale]

ok

[coarse garden]

Does anyone able to make custom quirks, I mean the entire skill VFX, maybe even a little cinematic animation if needed, willing to pay a pretty fair amount of money to get it done as soon as possible. Only issue is you’re gonna have to find a ashura united copied game to make it off of there’s tons of copies if able to do all this please feel free to DM me

[vocal tusk]

guys i cant find a proper workframe for developping can you recommend one simple and organized?

[foggy sphinx]

I don´t recommend using a framework since they are more limiting than with just barebone modules etc. (in my opinion). Here is the layout I use in my projects:

[verbal coyote]

Can someone make a roblox game im paying btw robux

[gritty badge]

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")


local skips = {
    {
        skipPart = workspace:WaitForChild("tablic"):WaitForChild("SKIP"),
        productId = 3375272745
    },
    {
        skipPart = workspace:WaitForChild("tablic"):WaitForChild("SKIP2"),
        productId = 3397374911
    },
    {
        skipPart = workspace:WaitForChild("tablic"):WaitForChild("SKIPEND"),
        productId = 3378810876
    }
}


local pendingPurchase = {}

for _, data in skips do
    local prompt = data.skipPart:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")
    local hitbox = data.skipPart:WaitForChild("HITBOX")

    prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
        pendingPurchase[player.UserId] = {
            productId = data.productId,
            hitbox = hitbox
        }
        MarketplaceService:PromptProductPurchase(player, data.productId)
    end)
end


MarketplaceService.ProcessReceipt = function(receiptInfo)
    local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(receiptInfo.PlayerId)
    if not player then
        return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.NotProcessedYet
    end

    local pending = pendingPurchase[receiptInfo.PlayerId]
    if pending and pending.productId == receiptInfo.ProductId then
        -- teleport gracza
        local char = player.Character
        if char and char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
            char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = pending.hitbox.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
        end

        
        pendingPurchase[receiptInfo.PlayerId] = nil
    end

    return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.PurchaseGranted
end

why does it work in roblox studio but not in the game?

[foggy sphinx]

Hey guys, is there a way to include only models in overlapparams?

like in filtersdescendantinstances

[flint tusk]

use Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
so lua local Var = OverlapParams.new() Var.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include Var.FilterDescendantsInstances = Descendants

[proud idol]

Can be done but it needs some work arounds

Models arent physical parts themselves, they only group physical parts

So youd either have to include locations you know theres only modules, or perform a check after the raycast if the part hit is indeed inside a model

[wispy shale]

yo guys i just started making my first game wanna see it

[keen ingot]

how does larger games handle leaderboards if there are like 1000 con current players? wont this over send requests?

[last elk]

Can someone help me?

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")

local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer

local function disableMoveAction(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
return Enum.ContextActionResult.Sink
end

ContextActionService:BindAction("disableForward", disableMoveAction, false, Enum.KeyCode.W)
ContextActionService:BindAction("disableBackward", disableMoveAction, false, Enum.KeyCode.S)

local camera = Workspace.CurrentCamera
local renderSteppedConnection

local function setSideCamera()
local character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

if renderSteppedConnection then
    renderSteppedConnection:Disconnect()
end

renderSteppedConnection = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
    local sideOffset = Vector3.new(20, 5, 0)
    local camPosition = rootPart.Position + sideOffset
    camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camPosition, rootPart.Position)
end)

end

if LocalPlayer.Character then
setSideCamera()
end

LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
setSideCamera()
end)

Why wont this work?

The W and S keys still work

how much should i charge the guy for this?

[lusty barn]

will people ever learn how to ask for help

[lusty barn]

spectate trolling is evil

nothing less than like 20k

long list but doesn’t seem bad to me

[teal yacht]

I already have all of the systems made by other comissions, i'll try to charge 10k since ik this guy is from my country and devs from my country don't have much robux

[lusty barn]

oh that’s kind

[brisk peak]

Im having trouble wraping my head around how to connect functions to the humanoid as it doesnt exist in studio until the game is run.

i know its like findfirstchild and stuff but

its still difficult for me

[iron kraken]

if it doesnt exist yet then you should use waitforchild

altho it will break ur game if the server doesnt actually make the child

[brisk peak]

How does studio know what the child of players is though?

there would be multiple players

[iron kraken]

by using getchildren u can get all the children

in a table

[brisk peak]

uh

Do you have an example

[iron kraken]

what are you coding exactly

[brisk peak]

Im just trying to learn how to interact with the humanoid

the most basic might be a killbrick

[iron kraken]

ok

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
  if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
    hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(100)
  end
end)

[iron kraken]

do u get it

you mainly want to be accessing stuff through events

in this case touched event

[brisk peak]

How does it know which humanoid though

is it connecting the object that hit it

[iron kraken]

there is only one humanoid in a character

hit is the basepart that touches the part

aka script.parent

and findfirstchild finds the first child

[dense lily]

how much rbx should i pay someone to script a game like this https://www.roblox.com/games/96114180925459/Lasso-Animals

[iron kraken]

so even if you have two humanoids it just finds whichever is the first in the hierarchy

[brisk peak]

What determines the hierarchy

[zenith wyvern]

pay me 30k

[iron kraken]

just the order that its in in the exploreer

altho u shud never really care about that

because u shud never have two things of the same name and wanting to find one of the two

using findfirstchild

[brisk peak]

would this be a localscript tho

so its a script already assigned to each startercharacter?

[iron kraken]

no you want to use a serverscript because if u damage the player on the client it wont actually kill them

[iron kraken]

its a server script you place under the part that u want to be ur kill brick

notice it says script.parent

script means the script itself and .parent means get the parent of the script itself

[brisk peak]

The player is not the parent of the script tho

so i dont understand that part

[iron kraken]

yes but what you caer abut is the character

[brisk peak]

How does it differentiate between jim and joe tho in the game? they both have humanoids

[iron kraken]

when a part triggers the touched event it automatically passes the part that touched it as a parameter which i call hit

[iron kraken]

ok so what you need to understand is that :findfirstchild looks through the part on the left of it

when you do :findfirstchild you are calling a function on whatever is on the left of it

so if i do
hit.Parent:Findfirstchild
im calling findfirstchild on hit.Parent not on the whole workspace

but if you mean detecting between two characters that both have humanoids it wont differentiate them

you would have to make another if statement to check their name

[iron kraken]

i am guessing u are very new to scripting?

[brisk peak]

Ive been doing python for 2 months

but luau is different

cuz the perameters and stuff

events are diff

[iron kraken]

i would suggest following a scripting tutorial course online

and following what they do in studio yourself

[brisk peak]

I did the brawldev one

full

[iron kraken]

did you just watch or did you also do it in studio

[brisk peak]

both

[iron kraken]

ok well u shud start practicing making simple things

[brisk peak]

I understand how the syntaxes, functions, and variables and strings work.

i can change properties of objects, its literally

just the humanoid thing that gets to me

[iron kraken]

humanoid is just an object like everything else

[brisk peak]

Where can i read the documentation on all the events and stufff for luau

[iron kraken]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine

[brisk peak]

The difficult part of all this is just the environmental things i need to learn

its not lua problems, its the roblox engine

yk

[iron kraken]

yea

[brisk peak]

Ima just keep at it. Thank you for the help

[iron kraken]

yup u can do it

[brisk peak]

At least its better than typescript 💀

[jovial cairn]

looking for somethat knows how to make battleground combat system

[brisk peak]

#scripter-hirable

[jovial cairn]

they to expensive

[brisk peak]

Thats just the price of a game

yk it costs like 300k robux to script a whole gae

[jovial cairn]

i just want one script

[brisk peak]

you cant make a whole combat system with 1 script

you have multiple objects

multiple things to deal with

[mellow notch]

I haven't really messed with physics stuff too much but im trying to look for any resources that have the most optimal way of coding a ragdoll system, specifically R6

Trying to make one for my project

[mellow notch]

What do you need done

[jovial cairn]

battleground combat system

i just want m1 not block and stuff

[mellow notch]

How much were you looking to pay

[jovial cairn]

im brokie

[mellow notch]

I mean that dosent change the amount of work it takes to make one though

You should just learn how to script and make your own its fun

[jovial cairn]

i am but like am at the very edge of releasing my game i just need combat systam

[brisk peak]

you are far from release then

Hello, I am messaging on here to ask about a problem Im having, currently, I am making a game where the spawner pumps out dummies that walk to the other side, if i want to replace the dummies with models of meshparts like dragons and things that arent humans, how do i do that? aniamtion doesnt need to be included in the models walk as long as it walks like the dummy.

[topaz crypt]

In that case if u rnt tryna pay just ask chatgpt its only m1s

[vale flax]

in theory...

if you sacrifice your sanity...

[upper oak]

lasers studio is a recognized brand?

[granite igloo]

goofy fix but
just make the dummy invisible and weld the model to dummy's torso

[proud idol]

Could also just ditch the dummy and just have a movable invisble floating part which is where you weld the model

[sour vine]

make dragon and put humanoid in him

and humanoidrootpart

does anybody know the secret behind grab attacks??? welding kills both players once one dies and alignposition/alignorientation lag behind

yo can someone help me, when I touch the coin, it doesn't make it's transparency to 1. here is my script:

--Variables

local CoinsFolder = game.Workspace.Coins
local Coins = CoinsFolder:GetChildren()
local COIN_DISABLED = false
local Players = game.Players

--Functions

local function onTouched(hit)
    if hit.Parent then
        
        local char = hit.Parent
        local plr = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
        local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if not humanoid then return end
        
        local playerStats = plr.leaderstats
        if not playerStats then return end
        
        local coins = playerStats:FindFirstChild("Coins")
        if not coins then return end
        
        if COIN_DISABLED == false then
            coins.Value = coins.Value + 1
            hit.Transparency = 1
            COIN_DISABLED = true
            wait(5.0)
            hit.Transparency = 0
            COIN_DISABLED = false
        end
    end
end


--Loops

for index, Coin in Coins do
    Coin.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
end

[last elk]

You have:

hit.Transparency = 1

No wonder it doesnt work. If you dont want you're coin to have its transparency to 1 then put it to how transparent you want it to be.

[stone musk]

no, it's not that, it's that I want my coin's transparency to be 1, I literally wrote it. but it still doesn't work

[cinder basalt]

we dont help with ai code here

go ask daddy gpt

[stone musk]

gng

chatgpt aint gon help me learn

[cinder basalt]

gng it already wrote you code

[stone musk]

no it didnt wth

I wrote it by myself

[cinder basalt]

then what taught you to use wait instead of task.wait

[stone musk]

what's the difference?

im still beginner

[cinder basalt]

where did you learn this from

you write surprisingly ai like for a beginner

this is so clearly ai man

you aint the first one

write code yourself and then youll understand why its not working

[undone karma]

Harsh

[last elk]

Im new to scripting.

And i use task.wait

Not wait

[cinder basalt]

the only way to learn 'wait' nowadays is to use chatgpt

But btw

Do you guys prefer to use Roblox’s pathfinding algorithm or make A* or Djistkra from scratch? Why? Any case by case basis?

[random nebula]

depends

[plucky cobalt]

How so?

[random nebula]

for some things you need custom pathfinding

for other things u can get away with roblox but i prefer to make my own

[plucky cobalt]

That makes sense

[frank crow]

is the coin a model?

[plucky cobalt]

For flying entities I’d likely make my own as I’m sure Roblox isn’t too fond of things like that

[random nebula]

why not

many people do it

guys so i know some stuff on roblox studio yk luau but like i feel i cant do bigger stuff like games or complex stuff if yk waht i mean, can someone help

[iron kraken]

disable character auto loads and then when player added set the player character to the model
plr.character = model or i think u can use loadcharacter
and on death you need to load the character again as well

[eternal arch]

i can hellp you i think

since i know alot off building and stuff and you know alot off coding we chould possibly make games togheter if you whould like that?

[dense lily]

how do i learn scripting

[iron kraken]

watch a scripting tutorial series

[dense lily]

like what

[iron kraken]

i learned from peasfactory

[iron kraken]

https://youtu.be/v3dbJXSa12Q?si=f-T89nL_AliJOkcM

[prisma mason]

why are we giving the poor soul a 12 year old video

[iron kraken]

it worked for me

[dense lily]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/996029751812685834/1112480035870347334/attachment.gif

[iron kraken]

what does that even mean

[prisma mason]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/use-case-tutorials/scripting/basic-scripting/intro-to-scripting

[dense lily]

where did you leanr from

[prisma mason]

i read the whole roblox api front to back 8 years ago

i assume what i gave you is probably better

[dense lily]

i think i know the basics

to make a dissapearing part

[iron kraken]

that is def not necessary lol

[dense lily]

on(touch) part freaky and kisses your cheek

[iron kraken]

learn stuff as u need it

[prisma mason]

if you know basic syntax then it's easy

have idea, try to do it, fail, google

try again, succeed

repeat for a few years

[cinder basalt]

12 years ago is devious

[iron kraken]

the code is still the same

the only thing that changed is hopper bins or smthing i remember him talking about

but i think that vid is removed or smthing

anyways its literally exact same code as today

[cinder basalt]

but ugly editor

[iron kraken]

im lowkey defending this man i dont even know

[cinder basalt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB3kWDlXq1s

this so fire

omg they used wait instead of task.wait

y did i click that and it immediately started downloading something

[iron kraken]

u def dont need whatever this is lmao

[white seal]

https://youtu.be/TB3kWDlXq1s?si=YTpe9twAS-veYwjx guys is this tutorial still valid >?

like onlu 18 years old

[cinder basalt]

you cant repost what i already posted

[white seal]

always the emerald 3 complaining

[iron kraken]

i mean all the scripts work in the video except for capitalization

altho the scripts r bad

[storm monolith]

yoo can anyone help me with my car dealership rn you can only buy and spawn one car ad i cant get the others to work ill pay if needed

[white seal]

Oh well thsi usally gets blocked

[storm monolith]

yoo can u help me with my car dealership rn you can only buy and spawn one car and i cant get the others to work ill pay if needed

[dense lily]

someone give me a good playlsit ot learn lua

[slate marsh]

brawldev

[dense lily]

which ones

[slate marsh]

there is a 2 playlist on his channel 1 for beginner 1 for advanced

if u dont have any experience on lua start on beginner playlist

then watch advanced one

but dont only watch

try to make code on studio too

[rustic hare]

Ik the basics and can't even remember it

[heady crypt]

this is the gojo guy

he has a gojo pfp

[dense lily]

?

[fervent karma]

can playing animations on the server create fling bugs?

[wheat pumice]

rah

[wheat pumice]

what

[kind hedge]

Who can script me a sword combat system (model, animations and vfx are already finished), dm me and we can discuss the price!!

[cinder basalt]

is the price 200 robux and a thank you

[strong fog]

fair price

[tired roost]

the half up front is just the thank you

[molten scarab]

[molten scarab]

can i see ur portfollio twin

[dawn monolith]

yo i got a question: how are dupe scripts created for exploits in games?
For example, in Fish, there was a coin dupe a year ago, and also, in pet simulator 99, there were a lot of gem/pet dupes.

and why dont they make system against it tho

[maiden wing]

i love cp

anyone here does scripting and ui by any chance? i pay well

[lean ocean]

by pay well how well

[cinder basalt]

very well

five

[left apex]

What tweenstyle is this ?

[slate marsh]

its sine or quad

if I'm not wrong

yo im intrested

kinda bored icl

anyone know why characteradded doesnt fire?

also im prolly doing this weird but idk ;-;

[fading hull]

LF scripter for a bleach game its a good one, dm me we got everything but a scripter

[tight marlin]

i think its just connect issues

[hollow turtle]

does anyone know where i can find a in depth video or forum post about creating a roblox studio plugin?

[sweet tree]

cheese pizza bro whats wrong

[rapid verge]

probably because the client had way too much control over how the game worked

you dont need a system against that if you build your game securely

[rocky lynx]

Digital footprint

This won’t be funny in a few years when people are posting it calling u a predator

[storm marsh]

looking for someone to make a naruto game with me

[gloomy kraken]

dupe scripts happen because the game trusts the client too much

[cinder basalt]

Theres always a catch

[fast lotus]

No i'm not joking

I have to work 8 hour shifts

I don't have the time

[cinder basalt]

Either games horrid or games stolen

Show us the game then

[fast lotus]

bruh

I don't want too. For you nope. Somebody dm me 20 minutes before and i send screenshots

[cinder basalt]

Wow

Bro getting petty over valid concerns

[fast lotus]

Bro if you asked before saying "ThErEs aLaWays A cAtCh"

Some people don't want to work on something anymore so they sell it for a batter future of game that got dust

[cinder basalt]

For 1k?

[fast lotus]

I'm happy for 1K bro. I can buy my girlfriend a cool avatar.

Shes doesn't have a skin

[cinder basalt]

She doesnt have skin?

[fast lotus]

Shes default what's the matter?

[cinder basalt]

Ok seriously show that game

[fast lotus]

Dm me

[rapid verge]

literally axis angles

[fresh beacon]

Went to 50 average playtime a few days later

I didn’t update the game and now the stats are terrible

[wary star]

Holy censor

[teal yacht]

what theme

[fresh beacon]

Siege defense

You defend a base while fighting waves of enemies

I lost around 10x my player count after I didn’t update for a month

[smoky dagger]

Lemme see the game

[fast lotus]

dm em

[sweet radish]

how do i change the texture and meshid of an object through a script? i get this error everytime i try: The current thread cannot write 'MeshId' (lacking capability NotAccessible)

Success was already there cuh Why'd you stop

[peak jolt]

not possible just make two instances in studio beforehand

yo im a beginner not that great i made a dash script thoughts?
local userinputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local tweenservice = game:GetService("TweenService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local dashdistance = 20
local dashtime = 0.25

local function dash()
if not player.Character or not player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") then return end

local hrp = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
local forward = hrp.CFrame.LookVector

local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(
    
    0.2, 
    Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
    Enum.EasingDirection.Out
)
local goal = {}
goal.CFrame = hrp.CFrame + (forward * dashdistance)

local tween = tweenservice:Create(hrp, tweeninfo, goal)

tween:Play()

end

Looking for a scripter partner

[mossy rover]

i could be one im not that great

still learning yk

[mossy rover]

^^

[frank crow]

Wanna do it?

[mossy rover]

yeah bet

[frank crow]

Alr add me

[mossy rover]

k

[frank crow]

I got school in a second so I’ll come back after Alr?

[mossy rover]

yeah all good

[smoky condor]

Is dis nice

[mossy rover]

i'd say its alright, nice.

[smoky condor]

Thabks

[fallen latch]

hmmmm

if u use Tween

then maybe also use a raycast

so the player doesnt phase throught walls

[lean ocean]

I wouldnt use tweening in the first place

for dashing

[fallen latch]

yea

velocity would be much better

[mossy rover]

what else would u recommend then?

[mossy rover]

i'll see to it

but why though?

[fallen latch]

u dont need to check nd I guess with u get hit for example ur character reacts to it

[mossy rover]

\

uhh ok

[lean ocean]

linearvelocity would also feel better

tweening is very linear

[fallen latch]

I wouldnt say that

there are the different types of a tween

for example there is sine

you can fake acceleration with an in

then we have InOut

[lean ocean]

yes no shit but with tweening ull also float if u dash of a ledge

[fallen latch]

for a start and a brake

[lean ocean]

and u dont keep momentum

[fallen latch]

ahh by that u mean

[night mauve]

Anyone know how TSB achieve cutscenes with effects like blacked out everything and only show some effects? I'm thinking viewport frames but stuff in viewport frames are also low quality when rendered

[tardy pasture]

guys is nitro worth it ?

when its free ?

[slender cradle]

far away from the main map you can actually find the cutscenes

I saw that in a video once

so like a bit of modelling and camera manipulation

[night mauve]

Ohh

I’ve seen people use viewport frames but I wasn’t so sure

[slender cradle]

well if you want to go ahead

[dawn monolith]

honestly, i have a question, how'd you know about exploiting if you're a roblox dev not cheater lol

[signal gorge]

is there a channel for sharing created game/playing games together?

[dusk sentinel]

bro genuinely

i dont get how yall can script

like whenever i even try to do it

it just seems like another language istg\

like even learning it is harder than mandarin

[lean ocean]

Cause it is

what do u struggle with

remembering the syntax?

ngl if u just keep doing it you'll get the hang of it

[upper oak]

its different for everyone, some people just dont have the brain for it

[lean ocean]

everyone does they just give up too fast

and don't try hard enough

[neat sigil]

Surface guis

[wheat pumice]

no lol

its usually rollback exploits

[night mauve]

ohh

Thanks

[night mauve]

Thanks too

[hollow panther]

should i use a statemachine for a round system?

[ebon viper]

someone knows how to fix the coin gui from the tycoon plugin? i tried making my own tycoon from that plugin and remake it, but the problem is when i open the shop or rebirth gui and close it, the coin gui disappears

[lunar viper]

DM me if you do scripting + ui design I pay well

[fallen latch]

I don't get how people can build

In the end we all got on this earth with different abilities

[spiral parcel]

looking for a scripter with around 4 years of experience, paying well hmu if interested

[vestal pumice]

#scripter-hiring or #interface

[proud idol]

Coding is more like laying out a list of instructions a computer operates

Syntjax anyone can learn that

The hard part is designing the code logic

[somber vault]

Wtf

[blissful epoch]

does anybody know what i am doing wrong? i want to make random spawns but it doesnt work

local seedspawnu = math.random(1,3)
if seedspawnu == 1 then
    spawnerNames = {"spawn1", "spawn2"}
elseif seedspawnu == 2 then
    spawnerNames = {"spawn2", "spawn3"}
elseif seedspawnu == 3 then
    spawnerNames = {"spawn4", "spawn5"}
end
local spawners = {}

i am begginer so dont hate

[proud idol]

Well this code section doesnt do anything other select a table

And you can improve it using table indexing instead of yandere sim dev method

[somber vault]

Yandere dev method

[blissful epoch]

i have no clue what are you talking about

i tried to do it by myself

[half rune]

if then elsing is a bad idea for large scale stuff

[austere relic]

[half rune]

i mean it works techncially but you will want to die maintaining it

[blissful epoch]

for me it doesnt work

it spawns only in 2 spawns

[somber vault]

Bad luck ig

[blissful epoch]

lol

[somber vault]

Try running it 100 times

[half rune]

hdym only 2 spawns

[blissful epoch]

4 and 5

[austere relic]

Motivational quotes

[blissful epoch]

i think it selects 2 spawns and keeps going

without selecting 2 other before spawning

[somber vault]

[half rune]

i saw that tongue

[blissful epoch]

p2w

he can and i cant

[proud idol]

Thats not what it does at all

Do you know what a table is?

[blissful epoch]

not really

[half rune]

i think it like... selects those 2 spawners then sends it back to you in the spawnernames variable

based on the seedspawnu

im just glancing ehre

[proud idol]

okay so let me explain it to you

local seedspawnu = math.random(1,3) --> selects a number randomly from 1 to 3

--> Yandere dev method of comparing values
if seedspawnu == 1 then
    spawnerNames = {"spawn1", "spawn2"} --> sets this table if seedspawn is 1
elseif seedspawnu == 2 then
    spawnerNames = {"spawn2", "spawn3"}--> sets this table if seedspawn is 2
elseif seedspawnu == 3 then
    spawnerNames = {"spawn4", "spawn5"} --> sets this table if seedspawn is 3
end
local spawners = {} --> initializes a blank table

[blissful epoch]

thats what i know bro

[proud idol]

okay well non of this code is related to setting spawners though

[blissful epoch]

i dont know why it selects 2 spawns and keeps going without selecting 2 other random

[proud idol]

you are just changing values

[half rune]

does the seedspawnu variable change/is the check run multiple times?

[blissful epoch]

its like the id of the spawn

[half rune]

if its not being run multiple times after the value changes i think it'd just stay on the initially sellected spawner

[proud idol]

well in that case ur obviously not posting all of the needed code

[blissful epoch]

seedspawnu 1 is for spawn 1 and 2

can i just loop it?

[proud idol]

also you are missing setting the seed

for math.random

[prisma mason]

local spawnerNames = {"spawn1", "spawn2", "spawn3", "spawn4", "spawn5", ...}
local randomIndex = math.random(#spawnerNames - 1);
local randomSpawns = {spawnerNames[randomIndex], spawnerNames[randomIndex + 1]}

three lines, easier to understand

[hollow panther]

i asked ai to review my code and it keeps insisting i use an if statement for the lobby timer and says tick(wait(1)) is unreliable is this true?

[proud idol]

this will yield different behaviour from what he doing

[prisma mason]

is he not getting n and n+1?

[proud idol]

nope

[prisma mason]

ah it's 1,2 2,3 4,5

[proud idol]

at value 3 is spawner 4 and 5

[prisma mason]

weird

[blissful epoch]

oh wait

i did not saw it

[prisma mason]

oh i might be right anyway

hooray

[proud idol]

local SpawnerList = {
  {"Spawner1","Spawner2"},
  {"Spawner2","Spawner3"},
  {"Spawner4","Spawner5"},
}

math.randomseed(tick())
local n = math.random(1,#SpawnerList)

local RandomSpawns = SpawnerList[n]

[prisma mason]

naming conventions 😩

[sour jetty]

how to fix the issue where player joins the game when intermission is at its last 2 seconds cause that player doesnt get teleported its like a loading issue but I do use waitforchild and pivotTo

I think its cause I test with 3 players in studio like I do the player count 3 and press test and 3 windows pop up and it makes me kinda have ping can that be the issue

[proud idol]

Im more of a pascal casing than camel casing

[prisma mason]

fair enough, more power to u

[proud idol]

send the code lol we aint genies to guess what you did wrong

[sour jetty]

bro im asking if its cause I test with 3 players

[prisma mason]

can't ask for coding help without code fella

try chatgpt

[hollow panther]

        if #(game.Players:GetPlayers()) >= 6 then
            local gameTimer = 120 + ((#(game.Players:GetPlayers()) - 1) * 24)
            return gameTimer
        else
            local gameTimer = 120 + ((#(game.Players:GetPlayers()) - 1) * 30)
            return gameTimer
        end
    end``` how do i use the gameTimer value elsewhere

cause it doesnt show up

[proud idol]

you'd need a module script or a value instance

[prisma mason]

module, bindable event

[hollow panther]

how do i make the value instance

[proud idol]

on explorer window click right click then press insert instance/object (smth along those lines) then look up for int value

[normal jasper]

you can also add it to the global environment

[hollow panther]

oh i need to store it externally?

i see

[normal jasper]

even though its bad practice if you just testing you can do it

[proud idol]

not recommended

[hollow panther]

yea no its for a round system so i need it stable

[normal jasper]

module script then

make sure its serversided too

[proud idol]

you can also use modulescripts or bindable events like the other dude said

but the quick n easy one is value instances

[hollow panther]

the problem is i dont know how i would implement like each player like i did in a serverscript

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) lke this thing

[proud idol]

you jsut need to place it somewhere that its easily referenceable

[normal jasper]

ye

like replicatedstorage

[proud idol]

do you need the round counter to eb unique for each player?

[normal jasper]

you can also just have the client request the time from the server

[hollow panther]

should i just send the whole script

i didnt bother since its like 50 lines

[normal jasper]

i think he means he wants to have all the players recieve the same time from the server

[proud idol]

i mean go ahead but i can already tell you dont know what u want the system to work like

[proud idol]

well in that case just one value instance on replicated storage lol

server changes the value, gets replicated for clients

[hollow panther]

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    -- Values
    
    -- Functions
    local function calculateGameTimer()
        if #(game.Players:GetPlayers()) >= 6 then
            local gameTimer = 120 + ((#(game.Players:GetPlayers()) - 1) * 24)
            return gameTimer
        else
            local gameTimer = 120 + ((#(game.Players:GetPlayers()) - 1) * 30)
            return gameTimer
        end
    end

    -- Timer Values
    local LobbyTimer = 60

    -- Variables
    local plr   = player 
    local chr   = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded

    print(#(game.Players:GetPlayers()) )
    if #(game.Players:GetPlayers()) >= 3 then
        while tick(wait(1)) do    
            print("LobbyTimer: ", LobbyTimer)

            if #(game.Players:GetPlayers()) <= 3 then
                print("Player left not enough players")
                break
            end

            LobbyTimer -= 1
            print(LobbyTimer)
            if LobbyTimer == 0 then
                calculateGameTimer()
                print("Game is starting")
                -- TODO: REPLACE THIS WITH THE PLAYER CALCULATOR FUNCTION
                print("GameTimer: ", gameTimer)
                --TODO: GameStart
                break
            end
        end
    else
        --TODO: GameNotStart
        print("Not Enough Players")
        wait(2)
        return
    end
end)```

[proud idol]

client display the change

[proud idol]

bro

you do realize

[hollow panther]

icel im ass at coding 🥀

[proud idol]

that you are essentially starting a new countdownevery time a player joins

[hollow panther]

yowhat

[proud idol]

thats what you doing lol

[hollow panther]

really

fuck

[proud idol]

yeah lmao

a) ditch the playeradded event, you dont need it here

secondly you need to make it cycle over and over

[hollow panther]

so do i put the if statement in thje loop

[normal jasper]

also the function can be defined outside of the playeradd connection, you're also creating a new function each time a player joins

[proud idol]

lemme write you a simple example

[hollow panther]

sure man

[normal jasper]

i think you just have to write down what you're trying to achieve and the steps to do it, that usually shows any holes in your logic

[hollow panther]

i already did that i got the loggic down im just downright bad at scripting man

like i just cant get the hang of it

[normal jasper]

you didnt because if you did you would have realized you're creating a new timer each time

[hollow panther]

i guess i didnt get the memo

[dense lily]

how should i learn lua

[proud idol]

local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local Timer = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").SomePathToIntValue

while true do
    while #PlayerService:GetPlayers() < 2 then
        print("Not enough players in server!")
        task.wait(1)
    end
    
    local StartRound = true
    
    for i = 60,0,-1 do
        Timer.Value = i
        if #PlayerService:GetPlayers() < 2 then
            StartRound = false
            print("Not enough players in server!")
            break
        end
        print(i)
        task.wait(1)
    end
    
    if not StartRound then
        continue
    end
    
    print("Round start!")
    task.wait()
end

[hollow panther]

i dont get the if not startround part

[proud idol]

this is an example of an intermission code behaviour

[hollow panther]

what does that boolean do exactly

[proud idol]

a check to whether theres actually enough players to start a round once the coutndown begins

if theres not enough players it throws u back at the start of the infinite loop

why si this?

because players can leave at any point in the game, and once the timer begins theres no other checks for this

[hollow panther]

well thats kind of intentional since after the round starts its supposed to last with the initial calculation of the people in the lobby i wanted to keep the lobby intermission at a stagnant 60 seconds but make the game time dynamic

[dense lily]

how did you guys learn coding

[hollow panther]

man you just gotta script to learn

i mean tbf i dont even know anything

[normal jasper]

copy and paste the roblox script docs link to gemini, and use this prompt "seperate the contents of this page into categories from most fundamental to complex, and teach them like im 5, im an aspiring programmer and am seeking to learn"

[proud idol]

heres the thing, my example is for the intermisison section only

[hollow panther]

ah makes more sense

[proud idol]

you are getting up ahead with the game core loop when you cant even do the beggining

which is the intermission behaviour

[proud idol]

you have to learn by urself with guides, documentation and application of the research

at least how i did it

[normal jasper]

you have to finds projects to build and work on using computers, find something simple you want to make then build up from there, since you want learn lua and im assuming its for game dev you can just start on roblox, find something you wanna make learn the fundamentals, then combine what you learn to make it

[pearl blaze]

How often do people use numbools? It's like booleans but instead of true false you use numbers

0 is true and anything above 0 is false

[proud idol]

in lua 0 is a truthy value pretty sure

[hollow panther]

while #PlayerService:GetPlayers() < 2 then is the then supposed to be do ? or is there somethingg like this

[normal jasper]

i mean why wouldnt you just use them number themselves to compare tho?

[pearl blaze]

wdym

[proud idol]

but why use truthy values when you can just use booleans

[normal jasper]

if var > 0 then blah else false

[proud idol]

and if you have to comapre number like that

[normal jasper]

exactly

[proud idol]

just have this conditional

[normal jasper]

no point in using numbools

[proud idol]

number < 1

[pearl blaze]

like imagine you have a state and 2 scripts tryna change it to false and then back to true

• first script changes state to false
• second script changes it to false
• first script changes back to true
• second script still need this state disabled

[proud idol]

only time where i use truthy values in my conditions is to check if a value is valid

[pearl blaze]

if numbool == 0 then it's true
if numbool ~= 0 then it's false

numbool += 1 -- make it false
numbool -= 1 -- make it true

it's like bool states but any script can change it without interference

[proud idol]

but then this becomes a 3 state thing though

bools only work with 2 states, on and off

[pearl blaze]

how a 3 state

if it's just 2 in theory

[proud idol]

you saying that second script is disabled in those 2 states only implies theres a third state where its enabled

[pearl blaze]

wdym by second script is disabled

no scripts get disabled

alright let's think this in a fighting mechanic

imagine you have a stun right?

and there's 2 skills that do stun, but second is longer

if you use those 2 skills, stun will go off faster

[proud idol]

thats very different though

[pearl blaze]

I mean in this sense

I use this A LOT and I never notice people using the same

Literally most of my booleans are numbools, even when I don't need them

[normal jasper]

if it works it works

thats all that matters anyway

[pearl blaze]

Yo wouldn't it be cool to make a metatable that does the same, but you use normal true and false and all numbers happen behind the scene

How slower metatables are compared to normal tables?

[proud idol]

very redundant though

[normal jasper]

right

[proud idol]

like the stun example for example you would just compare whether the stun time u applying is bigger or smaller than the current one

if its bigger then you apply stun

[pearl blaze]

Well that's worse

More stuff to write, more variables

[proud idol]

checking if a number is specificly a certain value has its use cases

[pearl blaze]

Also many cases are not time related

[proud idol]

but when thinking about states, you either use booleans or numbers

booleans for 2 state cases

numbers for >2 states

[pearl blaze]

Nah numbools are 2 state cases

It's either == 0 (true) or ~= 0 (false), in theory

But those states can be overlapped

[proud idol]

they aint 2 state cases because tehres implication that more states exist

[pearl blaze]

In my theory no

[proud idol]

you get 2 results only yes

[pearl blaze]

Like in theory you always use it like that

either ~= or == and += or -=

[proud idol]

but unless you specifically say theres only 2 numbers my value can take

[pearl blaze]

2 states to change and 2 states to check

[proud idol]

it aint 2 state

[pearl blaze]

like the boolean but overlapping

[proud idol]

if my number can be from 1 to 3

it aint a 2 state

[pearl blaze]

1 2 3 4 5 all the same state

[proud idol]

its a 3 state

[pearl blaze]

you don't know what theory is?

It seems you're not getting the idea

It doesn't matter what number

[proud idol]

you are essentially doing a condition statement

my number can take multiple values

but im only interested if its a certain value

[pearl blaze]

Alright numbools and numbers are different thing

[proud idol]

that still means that the number has a lot more than 2 states

[pearl blaze]

You will defo make your scripting life worse with this mindset

[proud idol]

but youa re just doing a condition to check if its a specified value, which returns a boolean

and that has use cases

but you are essentially converting a n state number to a 2 state boolean

[pearl blaze]

It doesn't return a boolean... well unless you want to

[proud idol]

it litterally does

if you print 1 == 1

it returns true

[pearl blaze]

yes

finally you got it

[pearl blaze]

yeah unless you want it to

but when comparing with if operator there's no any booleans behind the scene

[proud idol]

its litterally what it reutrns bro

theres no more science to it

[random nebula]

The way if works is it evaluates whether the expressions value is truthy or falsey

[proud idol]

you are like trying sound like albert einstein discovering relative theory on conditionals

[pearl blaze]

eh I'm just crazy abt microscopic difference

helps with optimization

[proud idol]

well 1 == 1 isnt a truthy comparison

[random nebula]

Yea but the returned value is truthy

[pearl blaze]

Anyways I think people are never doing this

[proud idol]

a value being truthy means that if you plug it in without any conditional operator, it will be treated as true

[pearl blaze]

And this is most common mistake to use booleans with this parallel error

For newbies

[proud idol]

example

if 1 then

end

[random nebula]

1 == 1 gets calculated to true and true is truthy

[pearl blaze]

nothing gets calculated inside if statement

[dark cedar]

Since im doing my cooldown checks on the server should I play my animations there? Otherwise the client will keep on playing the animation even if the server doesnt allow the rest of the move to activate, or is there a different way of going about it?

[proud idol]

i get the confusion but when we talk about truthy values it means values that arent bools

[random nebula]

It does

[pearl blaze]

only if you wanna save inside variable

[random nebula]

Boolean’s are also truthy or falsey

[pearl blaze]

I mean behind the scenes

Not talking about luau there

Like saving a boolean and then checking is slower than just doing if statement

[proud idol]

i mean actually maybe its just when we dont use condition operators

have to research that

[random nebula]

Yes

[proud idol]

other than that broski treating == and ~= operators like discovering perpetual machine motion

[pearl blaze]

alright I'm gonna head out benchmark metatables

[dark cedar]

can anybody help me out?

[pearl blaze]

Can't you just predict the cooldown on client too?

Like you use the move on client right?

[proud idol]

it really depends on how ur code system is based, for me animations i usually use client

because aniamtions played on server can have latency

[dark cedar]

Cant exploiters skip over if statements? Then the animation will keep on playing on their side, and they will keep on firing emote events even if they dont do the hitboxes and stuff. And animations will look glitched for everyone.

[random nebula]

Simulate ur animations on server, play them on client

You should never be playing animations on server it’s waste of bandwidth

[proud idol]

i see

[pearl blaze]

Well... I don't know why THE FUCK roblox replicates all animations played on client, but I'm using a custom animation controller and networking system so client anims won't be replicated

[pearl blaze]

this why?

[proud idol]

rule of thumb, code logic of game on server, visuals and changing thing sonly seen to one player on client

[pearl blaze]

also what if you wanna play anim on client, but because of server and lag compensation you should stop it

it will look ba

[random nebula]

Can prolly avoid this by cloning the character on the client only

[dark cedar]

uhm for some reason my cooldown module doesnt say that its on cooldown to the client even if I set it on the server. Weird I honestly dont know why

[pearl blaze]

And replicate character on server? Bro that's what I'm doing! Not even using humanoids!

[random nebula]

I mean you can use humanoids

[pearl blaze]

Ngl most answer is make ur own stuff, with buffers now it's possible

[random nebula]

Probably never tried it

[pearl blaze]

Yeah you can

just saying fuck roblox shit

[dark cedar]

yeah but lets say the exploiters skip over that. They can keep playing the animation and imagine how that looks to the rest of the players

am I delulu

[pearl blaze]

well dude then answer me, why client can't play animations any time?

exploiter can literally execute ANYTHING

[random nebula]

I made my own animator to overcome animator limitations for my uses

[pearl blaze]

any animation any time?

I'm surprised no one does that, why?

Oh prob because it's useless and boring

But I mean in competitive games to feint some anims?

[dark cedar]

so either way they can keep playing whatever animation they want?

[pearl blaze]

In theory yes

[proud idol]

the client timer is so the player can start an action smoothly, the server timer is to sanity check that theres no tampering

[pearl blaze]

Alright just do this

do anims on client

[dark cedar]

yup cooked

[pearl blaze]

and if exploiter problem are severe just think about it then

[dark cedar]

oh alr

[proud idol]

again

on multiplayer games the code that runs the behaviour of the game should almost always be on the server

[dark cedar]

yeah it is

[pearl blaze]

what if behaviour can be client sided so it will fire instanly?

like shooting

it's misleading

[proud idol]

sanity checks my guy

[pearl blaze]

I mean that can be misleading what you said some people can see this as "do everything on server"

[proud idol]

using client for behaviour leads to smoother experience, but server has to be involved so theres no tampering with

i dont eactly know what fps do for the sanity check

but ill assume is that they raycast both in client and server

[pearl blaze]

lag compensation

[dark cedar]

so do I just:

check the cooldowns on the server and client,
let exploiters play the animations over and over again if they want,

[pearl blaze]

you get the time when player shoots

get it's ping

rewind all positions and simulate the shooting

[proud idol]

then the server checks the error distance from client raycast hit and server raycast hit

[dark cedar]

I am making an action game though, so them playing a random animation could confuse the other player

[proud idol]

if the error is too big then theres probably tampering

[pearl blaze]

nah most games

use it as it is

because time is quite precise

because client timestamps and server gets the ping without anything else, it's kinda precise

[dark cedar]

why 2 raycasts? I just do 1 from the server. If ur lag says ur hitbox went to japan or something thats on you

[pearl blaze]

ofc exploiters can tamper with it, but whatever player experience is better, you can always limit the ping

[proud idol]

because you can encounter ghost hitboxes issue

aka in client it seems like u hit

but on server it says it misses

[pearl blaze]

nah best practice is one with lag compensation

[proud idol]

thats why u determine the error

[dark cedar]

well I do use Hitbox class which has a boolean value fires to the client if I set it to true

and it like checks on both things

[pearl blaze]

wait are you checking the hitbox on server AND client at the same time?

[dark cedar]

idk I just let HitboxClass do its thing

[pearl blaze]

again lag compensation

get the ping by making the client send a timestamp and rewind all positions on server

[dark cedar]

it runs a check in heartbeat though

[pearl blaze]

then simulate hitbox

[proud idol]

dude you keep saying lag compesate this but dont really explain how it works lol

i know theres multiple methods

but yk some context is appreciated

[dark cedar]

[random nebula]

There’s many kinds of lag comp yes

But it’s mainly just two methods, client side and server side

[pearl blaze]

• Make client send a timestamp
• Make server get the time it took for remote to pass trough
• Depending on the time, rewind all player positions
• Inside rewind do a check

You'd prob need to make your own collision or raycast system lol

[dark cedar]

should I just use Chrono

[random nebula]

You do or you can wait for aurora script

[dark cedar]

ok anyway Im getting to a diff topic

so I just run cooldown checks on both client and server?

[pearl blaze]

nah bad idea

because of ping

server can be out of cooldown already when remote gets to the server

while client still has cooldown

[dark cedar]

vruh

[pearl blaze]

wait lemme fix ti

[dark cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/coryxkenshin-youtuber-ugh-dismay-gif-17625420

cant win in roblox studio

[pearl blaze]

yeah dude

ur welcome

[random nebula]

Cooldown is easy to predict

[pearl blaze]

it's not, ping is not always the same

[dark cedar]

so wth do I do 😭

[random nebula]

Vro all you do is send the start time stamp

It’s trivial to predict

[proud idol]

i think my more important question is

how does it determine the position of the important things to consider on the rewind

[dark cedar]

so if I have a startTime on my cooldown module, and I check if its on cooldown by subtracting it from the current time and checking cooldown duration then its fine?

[proud idol]

or is that just included in the time stamp lol

[pearl blaze]

Record it

Always

That's literally what all popular shooters are doing

[dark cedar]

does this work

[proud idol]

so server constantly records positions of players in time stamps

when client shoots

[pearl blaze]

Not when it shoots

[proud idol]

it sends a specific time stamp

[pearl blaze]

Always

[random nebula]

Yes

[pearl blaze]

You could optimize it like not recording it when players are too far away but I doubt it actually may optimize something or anyone doing that

[proud idol]

ig if you do lag compesation in client

[pearl blaze]

What no?

[proud idol]

but lag compeation on server im supposing that server cosntantly records positions in time stamps

[pearl blaze]

Yeha

[proud idol]

when a shot is fired, client sends a time when it happened

server evaluates the positions and raycast on that time based upon that information

[pearl blaze]

it doesn't care about the person who shot

it only cares about the stuff it shot

[dull sphinx]

how did you all learn luaa? im looking into learning it properly but not sure where to look at

[proud idol]

lua.org

[pearl blaze]

In the moment of rewinding

[proud idol]

theres a section for learning basics of programming with lua

then when u learn that, you can start reading roblox api

[prisma mason]

depends on where you are right know:

don't know basic syntax -> follow Doregami's advice
know basic syntax -> Roblox's Intro to Scripting

[pearl blaze]

yeah, you can use this anywhere where hitboxes and raycasts are

[dark cedar]

function module:OnCooldown(Player: Player, Name: string)
    
    if not Storage[Player] or Storage[Player][Name] == nil then
        module.new(Player, Name)
    end
    
    if tick() - CooldownTimes[Player].startTime > CooldownTimes[Player].duration then
        return false
    end
    return true
end

so I can do checks like this on both the client and server

[pearl blaze]

but again you'll have to make your custom raycast or hitboxing system to do it with raw values

[dull sphinx]

yeah i know python its just learning all the different script types and where to put stuff is quite confusing

[pearl blaze]

for it to work

so it's kinda complicated for most people

[prisma mason]

what's your python knowledge at

important question

[dense lily]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MUgLaF22Yo&list=PLQ1Qd31Hmi3W_CGDzYOp7enyHlOuO3MtC&index=1 is this playlist good for learning and when i finish what should i do to learn after

[pearl blaze]

Who knew that in roblox the hardest thing inside lag compensation is raycasting

[dull sphinx]

i would say intermediate

[prisma mason]

then you're good to go straight to API

[dull sphinx]

can do everything including oop just not at a high level

[prisma mason]

lua and python are relatively similar

[dull sphinx]

yeah

[prisma mason]

are you a self-learner?

like you tinker with stuff by yourself until you figure out?

if so, fairly simple: have an idea, try to implement it in roblox, fail, research, try again

repeat that loop

[hollow panther]

@proud idol thx dude got the intermission working thanks to you

[dull sphinx]

i learnt python through a book and through lectures

im trying to make a game currently but im stuck on keeping a part touched

as the touched feature only fires once

[prisma mason]

right

[proud idol]

Np

[prisma mason]

so what are you trying to make it do?

keep firing as long as you are currently touching the part?

[dull sphinx]

pretty much its a game where u stand on a button and it rolls for a chance of something

[proud idol]

Honestly ditch the video tutorials unless you have 0 knowledge

[dull sphinx]

kinda like an rng game

[prisma mason]

ah a button incremental

[dull sphinx]

kind of

[prisma mason]

so you have a few options

[dense lily]

i do know some basic things but i barely remember

i could probaly explain what a script does

[prisma mason]

-> constantly raycast from the player downwards, detect a button -> you got your event
-> constantly check around the player for buttons, detect a button -> you got your event

[dull sphinx]

i did it in a previous game with some friends and we used events

[proud idol]

Do you know programmimg basics

[hollow panther]

also should i tie the lobby intermission script toa module and call it from there

[prisma mason]

-> make a zone around the button, use GetPartsInPart / GetPartsInBox / Touched

mark players that enter in an array

[hollow panther]

would it be more efficient and organised?

[prisma mason]

remove when they leave

[proud idol]

You can if you want to

[dull sphinx]

i also tried detecting if the humanoidrootpart

yeah i could

anyway of doing it in a local script to make it easier?

[prisma mason]

of course

detect hitboxes on the client (local script)

[dull sphinx]

ah ok thats nice

[prisma mason]

fire a remote to the server when the player wants to "press"

[dense lily]

i know like script.parent and how it changes variables so like local ("example") = workspace.part2 or whatever

[dull sphinx]

i can watch a few vids on hitboxes and should be able to get it

[prisma mason]

on the server, check if the player is actually there (on the button)

if so, roll their rng luck

[dull sphinx]

is there a way to make it continuously roll until they hop off?

[dense lily]

or how to change the properties

[prisma mason]

this, on the client

[dull sphinx]

oh ok nice

[prisma mason]

two ways

[dense lily]

transparency = 1

[prisma mason]

if you need extra help ping me

[proud idol]

Do you know what tables, functions, loops, conditionals are

[dull sphinx]

k i will do

lemme just send a message so ur in my dm

[dense lily]

no but i did leanr something about functions and loops i know there are 3 types of loops

[prisma mason]

ah don't dm me, ping me here

so people can correct me if i'm wrong

[dull sphinx]

oooh ok

[prisma mason]

i can be wrong sometimes

[dull sphinx]

k thanks for ur help

ill try it when im available

[tall sedge]

need help with this player frame list code. Im trying to scale the cloned frame and position it to the left of the frame, not the center:

local frame = MainFrame:FindFirstChild(tostring(plr.UserId))
if not frame then
frame = FrameTemplate:Clone()
frame.Name = tostring(plr.UserId)
frame.PlayerName.Text = plr.Name
frame.Visible = true
frame.Parent = MainFrame
end

--[[
local uiStroke = frame:FindFirstChild("UIStroke")
if not uiStroke then
    uiStroke = Instance.new("UIStroke")
    uiStroke.Name = "UIStroke"
    uiStroke.Parent = frame
end]]

local UIScale = frame:FindFirstChild("UIScale")
if not UIScale then
    UIScale = Instance.new("UIScale")
    UIScale.Name = "UIScale"
    UIScale.Parent = frame
end

if viewer.UserId == plr.UserId then
    frame.LayoutOrder = 9999
    --uiStroke.Color = Color3.fromRGB(102, 148, 255)
    --uiStroke.Thickness = 2
    UIScale.Scale = 1
else
    frame.LayoutOrder = 0
    --uiStroke.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
    --uiStroke.Thickness = 2
    UIScale.Scale = 0.8
end

[proud idol]

Gotta learn ur basics first bro

[tall sedge]

could you help me with my code?

[proud idol]

You can change its anchorpoint

[tall sedge]

I actually did, but I’m still getting the same issue. I believe it’s due to how UiListLayout handles its children’s position.

[proud idol]

Well shpuld of mentioned that lol

Ui list has properties that changes the alignment

[tall sedge]

I thought I did though (player frame list), guess that wasn’t specific enough.

[tall sedge]

Padding? Also, HorizontalAllignment is set to Left.

[sour jetty]

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    local characterClone = character:Clone()
    characterClone.Parent = game.Workspace
    local hrp = characterClone:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    hrp.Position = Vector3.new(0, 0.5, 0)
end)
``` why does it say attempt to index nil with 'Parent'

[tall sedge]

Character.Archivable needs to be set to true before cloning

[sour jetty]

thanks

but why only for character

and not for other things like part

[tall sedge]

I believe it’s due to how Roblox handles the Character

[sour jetty]

oh okay

[tall sedge]

Any other properties I can try?

[light crown]

yo can anyone help me with a moving part that goes along with the player on top? Im watching some tutorials that includes AlignOrientation and AlignPosition, I kinda get the idea behind it but for some reason my platform turns right a bit and then execute the actual code and I didn't change the X value whatsoever(in the vector3 I mean)

[south comet]

Set uilistlayout.HorizontalAlignment to left in the properties tab

[tall sedge]

Did that, same issue

[south comet]

O, can i see the gui?
