[tall sedge]

Like the properties tab? Or just the whole layout path.

[south comet]

Show properties and the gui in viewport

[cloud atlas]

how does this not make every pixel black?

[south comet]

It could be uiscale

Idk tho i dont use it

Try scaling the size directly

[tall sedge]

Same issue

[south comet]

Weird

Its slightly offsetted to the left tho

Not fully centered

Can u select the frame

The smaller Player card

And show

[tall sedge]

It’s scaling towards the center, not left

[south comet]

Dang this new?

[tall sedge]

Okay

[tall sedge]

Show what?

[south comet]

The highlight

Of the frame

[tall sedge]

Ah okay

Bro

I found the freaking issue

[south comet]

Was it what i thought it was

[dark cedar]

can exploiters skip over a line of code?

[tall sedge]

I dunno, but it’s because the imagelabel was outside of the frame itself.

[south comet]

Ye

I thought the issues were the elements inside

Not properly scaled and positioned

[south comet]

Wdym?

[dull sphinx]

@prisma mason can i also constantly raycast from the button upwards or is that more difficult?

[dark cedar]

can they prevent like a remote event from happening, or just skip an if statement and so not

[tall sedge]

Appreciate the help!

[south comet]

Probably not, unless they spoofed some values that mattered there

But anythings possible on the hackers pc 🤷

[dark cedar]

@frail yarrow so i did the cooldown checks on both and while only setting it on the server and uh:

[south comet]

Np

[dark cedar]

m1s shouldnt be this fast btw

[south comet]

Tick timezones

[dark cedar]

client isnt detecting thats it on cooldown

[south comet]

Tick() is timezone dependant and ur client and server arent aligned

Or some other timestamp function ur using

[dark cedar]

yes Im using tick() in the cooldown module

so should I use os.clock()

[prisma mason]

doesn't make sense

you're trying to raycast from the client, the button lives on the server

more costly to use the server

[south comet]

No that wont work either

[cloud atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/suspicious-iron-man-3-robert-downey-jr-tony-stark-wait-what-gif-7193343754776124066

[south comet]

Try searching a way to get a timezone specific unix

[dark cedar]

so how do I do it? Because I need to do checks on the client too to prevent animation spamming

[south comet]

I forgot how to do it

[south comet]

Hm

I remember theres a property in workspace that counts from when the server was created

ServerTime something use that

[dark cedar]

yeah atp I might just play the animations on the server

wait but remote event spamming...

[south comet]

Sure but its gonna look buns from the players pov

[south comet]

Roblox protects against that internally

[dark cedar]

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

cant win in roblox studio vro

[south comet]

Hold up

[south comet]

Also if they didnt, hackers can just spam it themselves

Use workspace.DistributedGameTime

Replace tick with that

[dark cedar]

what I did before was get the cooldown times for certain moves from the server using a remote function, then setting the cooldowns on the client. Idk if that is safe proof though thats why I came here

[dark cedar]

alr

[south comet]

Client checks there just for vfx and maybe some tiny optimizations for the player himself

Server check matters most

That was his issue

Before

[dark cedar]

so if workspace.DistributedTime - cooldownProfile.startTime(which is also distriputed time) > cooldownProfile.Duration then
-- the move is not oncooldown
end

so this would work?

DistributedGameTime mb

[south comet]

Im on a phone 😭

But if u just replaced it it should

[dark cedar]

alr

[south comet]

startTime() => gametime-savedtime

?

Oh wait i didnt see the

[dark cedar]

o

[south comet]

Mb it looks fine

[dark cedar]

alr lemme test it rn

[south comet]

Kk

[dull sphinx]

local lplayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local lplayerhumpart = lplayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {game.Workspace:WaitForChild("rollButton")}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include

local raycastResult = lplayer:Raycast(lplayerhumpart, Vector3.new( 0, -10, 0), raycastParams)

if raycastResult then
    if raycastResult.Instance then
        print(raycastResult.Instance.Name)
    else
        print("No instance")
    end
else
    print("No result")    
end

Im trying to do a raycast from the players humanoidrootpart but it gives an error of attempt to index nil with "WaitForChild"

[south comet]

Btw reset the cooldown on the client before the server overwrites it for lag or faster cooldowns

[dark cedar]

use local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

[dark cedar]

wait do I set it on the server and check on both, or set it on both and check on both

[south comet]

Just

The timestamp the client gets from the server

Overwrite that with one from the client before the server

[dark cedar]

yeah uhm my brain cant process ts

[south comet]

Hold on

[dull sphinx]

now it says attempt to call a instance value

[dark cedar]

is this a server or client script

[dull sphinx]

clinet

[south comet]

so if workspace.DistributedTime - cooldownProfile.startTime(which is also distriputed time) > cooldownProfile.Duration then
-- the move is not oncooldown

cooldownProfile.timestamp = <gametime>

— then the server does it again
end

[normal jasper]

local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
lplayerhumpart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

[normal jasper]

.

[dull sphinx]

should it be lplayer.Character?

[normal jasper]

yea mb

[south comet]

local char = (player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait())

char:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)

[dull sphinx]

wait i think i just had a syntax but now it says raycast is not a valid member of player??

uhh

ooohh wait

[south comet]

💀

[dark cedar]

ok wait, I just want to say Im using a module for all this, the module stores cooldownProfile, so do I just do if RunService:IsClient()

on the oncooldown function then I overwrite it?

[normal jasper]

pretty sure its raycast.new()

i could be tripping

[south comet]

Lemme get on pc ill show in code

[dark cedar]

do workspace:Raycast()

[south comet]

Im ass at explaining

[dark cedar]

oh alr

[south comet]

Ur confusing old raycasting with the new one

[dull sphinx]

im trying to make the raycast come from the player

[south comet]

New one is workspace:Raycast(origin, direction, raycast_params)

[normal jasper]

oops

[dark cedar]

yes you can make it start at the rootpart in the parameters

[normal jasper]

yea you right i just remembered

[dull sphinx]

local raycastResult = lplayerhumpart:Raycast(lplayerhumpart, Vector3.new( 0, -10, 0), raycastParams)

yeah like this?

[proud idol]

no

[south comet]

Blacklist the character, if the origins inside rootpart it shouldnt care but just in case

[dark cedar]

wait lemme do it in studio rq

[dull sphinx]

ah it does work i think

[normal jasper]

you had it right

[dull sphinx]

but it fires instantly gotta make it wait until the correct part is there

[south comet]

Ye also check if raycastResult isnt nil, it passes nil when it doesnt find anything

[dull sphinx]

local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {game.Workspace:WaitForChild("rollButton")}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include

[dark cedar]

oh, its just weird doing it in discord so I had to put it in studio

[dull sphinx]

thats the parameters

[dull sphinx]

yeah it prints no result

[normal jasper]

its prolly not hitting anything

[south comet]

Didnt find anything

Mess around w the direction

[normal jasper]

ye

[dull sphinx]

is it because it fired instantly when my character loaded in?

the button wasnt underneath me

[normal jasper]

also you did just say it needs to wait until the part spawn there

yea

[dull sphinx]

no until the player steps on the part

ok it does work

just gotta make it wait until its the part

[normal jasper]

you can use an event too

[dull sphinx]

uhh im not good with them

[normal jasper]

its better to use events on roblox

[south comet]

Its client sided?

[normal jasper]

yte

[dull sphinx]

is there a way to constantly shoot the raycast?

[dark cedar]

@south comet should I just show you my cooldown module

[normal jasper]

loop

[dull sphinx]

k

[south comet]

O, ye do a waitforchild, character should replicate after it but just in case

[normal jasper]

you dont have to do that though just connect an event then fire the function when the event listener fires

[normal jasper]

.

[dull sphinx]

oh no i think i just crashed my studio

forgot the wait

[south comet]

What event?

[dull sphinx]

aha i got it to work

[south comet]

Btw sry i was giving advice without knowing what u were tryna do 💀

What do u need help with?

[dull sphinx]

no ur advice got it to work lol

[south comet]

Or did*

[south comet]

O

Sweet

[dull sphinx]

when it says attempt to index nil with instance

[dark cedar]

@south comet https://pastebin.com/JuT381wb

[dull sphinx]

im just running an if loop to check if the result is eqyal to a part

like the names match up

[south comet]

It means when u do value[index] value is nil

[dull sphinx]

while shootRay do
    wait(0.5)
    local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(lplayerhumpart.Position, Vector3.new( 0, -10, 0), raycastParams)

    if raycastResult then
        if raycastResult.Instance then
            print(raycastResult.Instance.Name)
        else
            print("No instance")
        end
    else
        print("No result")    
    end
if raycastResult.Instance.Name == "rollButton" then
    wait(0.5)
    print("correct button")
end
    
    
end

oh i think i forgot to indent

no

[south comet]

Its fine im on mobile anyway

[south comet]

Use task.wait()

Its better and newer

[dull sphinx]

yeah

what does the instance bit actually do?

like what is the instance referring to? the part?

[south comet]

Instance is whatever the raycast hit

[dull sphinx]

oh ok

[south comet]

If it hits terrain instance is workspace.Terrain and so on

[south comet]

Do .Instance == rollButton instead of checking the name

[dull sphinx]

yeah just noticed that lol

its still got the index nil

[south comet]

Can i see the output?

[dull sphinx]

ooooh i forgot an else statement?

• Server
  18:24:50.565 No result - Client - rollScript:21
  18:24:50.565 Players.WAP9876.PlayerScripts.rollScript:23: attempt to index nil with 'Instance' - Client - rollScript:23
  18:24:50.565 Stack Begin - Studio
  18:24:50.565 Script 'Players.WAP9876.PlayerScripts.rollScript', Line 23 - Studio - rollScript:23
  18:24:50.566 Stack End - Studio

if i get rid of the if statement checking if its the correct part it works absolutely fine

[south comet]

I cant see cuz its bugged on mobile but it looks like raycast.instance == is outside of the condition for whether it isnt nil

[dark cedar]

asmole gang

should I just set the cooldowns on both

[south comet]

Put it inside if raycast_result then

[dark cedar]

bcuz this isnt working

[south comet]

I meant

Ok yk how u store the timestamp in cooldownprofile

So the client side version gets updated by the server right?

[dull sphinx]

ok i got it to work now

thanks!

[south comet]

I want u to update it right before u invoke the server on the client side

[dark cedar]

    Storage[Player][Name] = Storage[Player][Name] or {
        startTime = workspace.DistributedGameTime,
        Duration = Duration or nil
    }
``` idek bro

[olive summit]

anyone know how to check whther a sound ended playing .. i.Ended isnt working

[south comet]

And after server does whatever, it then again updates it with the actual cooldown

[dark cedar]

just use task.wait(Sound.TimeLength) or task.delay(Sound.TimeLength)

[south comet]

Client cooldown is fake and is just for the client

To make it resistant against lag

[dark cedar]

so the exploiter can only spam animations and not hitboxes?

[south comet]

Its more like for the vfx

Cuz theres a delay before the server updates the client sided cooldown

[dark cedar]

wdym server updates client sided cooldown 😭

[south comet]

And sometimes that delay can make the ppl replay the animation twice yk

[south comet]

Theres a cooldownProfile on the server and the client

Theyre separate objects

[normal jasper]

That’s not crazy bro

[dark cedar]

so thats why I cant use OnCooldown on client if it gets updated on the server

so I should use AddCooldown on both?

[south comet]

Lemme get on pc

Give like 10 mins

[dark cedar]

why are yall sending ts then deleting it

[olive summit]

i sent his code

he sent some github link

[dark cedar]

oh

[dull sphinx]

while shootRay do
    task.wait(0.5)
    local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(lplayerhumpart.Position, Vector3.new( 0, -10, 0), raycastParams)

    if raycastResult then
        if raycastResult.Instance then
            print(raycastResult.Instance.Name)
            if raycastResult.Instance.Name == "rollButton" then
                roll = true
                print(roll)
                while roll do
                    task.wait(0.5)
                    print("rolling")
                end
            else
                roll = false
                print(roll)


            
            end
        
        else
            print("No instance")
        end
    else
        print("No result")    
    end

    
end

why does it stop shooting the raycast once the while statement starts?

[snow raft]

it was my link

i was going to say

it got denied and i have zero clue how

its some of the most beautiful code

    -- Create Proxy Table for states to get __newindex signal for DataChanged event 
    setmetatable(obj.data, {
        __newindex = function(self, key, value)
            -- Reset values
            rawset(self, key, nil);

            -- Verify state update and make necessary changes
            local callback = DataChangedCallbacks[key];
            local query = not callback or callback(self, value);
            if (not query) then return end;

            -- Update value and cooldown
            data[key] = value;
            obj.events.DataChanged:Fire(key);
        end,
        __index = data,
    });
    

[neat sigil]

a while loop inside a while loop 💔

[snow raft]

here is an excerpt

[dull sphinx]

oh

lowkey forgot it was originally a while loop

could i make it call a function until the part is not called rollbutton

[wraith shadow]

lowk hate it when the player cant play

[dark cedar]

when the player has to turn into the buyer

[wraith shadow]

and the buyer has to become the server

[snow raft]

oop is 100x better than dop and fop in terms of efficiency and readability

[wraith shadow]

yes

agree totally

(no sarcasm) fr

[dark cedar]

then they turn into a replicated first and start loading assets

[wraith shadow]

And then replicated storage

And start loading server and client

[south comet]

its the
while roll do
task.wait(0.5)
print("rolling")
end

[dark cedar]

fr

[south comet]

@dark cedar

[wraith shadow]

fr

[south comet]

ts took a lil longer

than 10 mins mb

[dark cedar]

np

[dull sphinx]

yeah how do i counter this?

[dark cedar]

anything that can fix my shi vro

[dark cedar]

task.spawn I think or something idk im silly

[dull sphinx]

because u cant put an while in a while loop

[south comet]

idk what u need that loop for but u can use coroutines

task.spawn()

task.spawn(function()

end)

so that loop doesnt yield the parent loop

[dull sphinx]

and it just runs the function until the part isnt called rollbutton?

[south comet]

u can

but the loop never ends

meaning the outside loop never continues

[dull sphinx]

yeah how do i counter that?

is it with repeat until?

[deft coral]

bro said counter

[deft coral]

what is the problem ur trying to solve

[dull sphinx]

i need them counters

[south comet]

if u want to have the 2 whiles run alongside each other

[wraith shadow]

Print table

[south comet]

without one yielding the other forever

[dull sphinx]

pretty much its a while statement in a whilel statement

[wraith shadow]

I print me tabels

[south comet]

no listen

[dark cedar]

task.spawn(function()
while roll do
print("rolling")
task.wait(0.5)
end
end)

[wraith shadow]

While task.wait() do

and roll

[dark cedar]

naughty boy

[deft coral]

well the stack runs serially meaning its top to bottom, one instruction at a time (im simplifying for teaching so nerds dont come at me), so if you run a while loop inside another, the top loop will hit the inner loop and run it till it terminates, then repeat

[south comet]

while task.wait() do

end -- this is a control structure that runs the same code inside the block over and over

but it waits for that code to finish executing

that while loop inside never ends meaning the loop never progresses essentially

[dull sphinx]

oooh ok so task.spawn(function()
while roll do
print("hi"

end

that just runs until roll isnt true?

[wraith shadow]

yes good job explaining stuff that can be understood by just paying attention to what is written

[dark cedar]

crazyyy

[south comet]

is this sarcasm

😭

[wraith shadow]

This is will be blocked by roblox's failsafe

[wraith shadow]

no you do a great job

[dull sphinx]

failsafe????

[dark cedar]

[wraith shadow]

yes

[dull sphinx]

saving it from what??

[deft coral]

not a serious problem, but generally dont use while task.wait() do, the expression evaluation causes it to miss a step

cuz ur yielding during expression eval

[wraith shadow]

from idk but by my experience it will be blocked

[south comet]

roblox runs on coroutines which are different parts of code running alongside each other, and it works by giving one thread (coroutine) control until it yields, this never yields, so theres no room for the task scheduler etc

[wraith shadow]

ah there it is

[south comet]

hence it, auto ends

[deft coral]

if you dont have any yielding within the loop, the loop runs indefinitely within the 'frame', or the unit of processing the computer performs

[south comet]

im putting my buck teeth on

[deft coral]

you're hanging the script from finishing in that frame

[dull sphinx]

ooooh ok

[wraith shadow]

why tho

[dull sphinx]

so there is just nothing stopping it?

[deft coral]

this'll freeze your game and block other execution

[wraith shadow]

yep infinite

[dull sphinx]

oooo ok

[deft coral]

roblox has a built-in fail safe to detect this

[dull sphinx]

i just need it to stop then

[deft coral]

and it'll shut the session down

[wraith shadow]

just like i said

[deft coral]

its not just stopping it, its ensuring it yields as well

[deft coral]

yea just explaining for him

[wraith shadow]

ty

lowk hepled me too

[dull sphinx]

so how would i yield it?

[deft coral]

loops go from the statement while to the end, end and do this repeatedly until a condition is met.

The condition is what goes between while and do, like while rolling == true do will repeat the code until rolling no longer equals true

[wraith shadow]

let it breathe after each loop

[deft coral]

task.wait(delay)

[dull sphinx]

yeah i was doing that? with task.wait(0.5)?

[wraith shadow]

Use task.wait because the normal wait will have throttle

[dull sphinx]

pretty much i got a raycast always shooting and if the part it hits is called "rollButton" it runs something until its not called it

[south comet]

we were talking about what u sent a while after that didnt have the delay

[dull sphinx]

i was using a while loop to run it until its not caleld that

[deft coral]

local c = 1
while rolling == true do

c+= 1 -- example count, add 1

if c == 5 then
rolling = false
end

task.wait(0.5) -- yields 0.5 seconds to let the computer do other stuff
end


print("rolling done!")

In this example this counts c up by 1 till it hits 5, then it sets rolling to false, so when the loop starts again, it'll evaluate the expression rolling == true and realize rolling is now false, and not go again. Then, it'll finally print "rolling done!"

[wraith shadow]

Practically. Let it breathe after each loop.

[deft coral]

this isnt the best way to do it but again, teaching sake

[dull sphinx]

ok i understand it a bit better

but my original statement was a while

a while statement to constantly shoot the raycast

and then a while for when the part hit is called "rollButton"

[deft coral]

i would use event-based stuff for that

[wraith shadow]

you can also do a while true loop on a task.spawn but you still have to give it air

[deft coral]

rather than a loop

[normal jasper]

thats what i told em

[dull sphinx]

yeah i need to learn them properly

[dark cedar]

@dull sphinx
This is how you check roblox's fail safe. Put it in a server script and play the game it will tell you.

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

RunService.Stepped:Connect(function()
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
while true do
task.wait()

local Safe, Fail = pcall(function()
xpcall()
end)
print(Safe)
end
end)
end)

[south comet]

tbh i dont understand why luau didnt add an inc operator, += 1 feels so cursed to do

[wraith shadow]

fail is the error message. Not a variable

[deft coral]

the game engine beneath the surface is kind of just a giant loop itself. It's a big giant while loop that constantly evaluates the game's state and tells the computer to render the game, does the math, does the graphics, the sound, etc

[dark cedar]

paste this in ur server script and see

[deft coral]

it was designed for non-programmers

[wraith shadow]

Safe is a boolean

[deft coral]

specifically engineers at work stations

so they didnt wanna expose odd syntax

[dark cedar]

@wraith shadow run the code lets find out

[wraith shadow]

cant

[dull sphinx]

okay gotta lock in got a farming contest iykyk be back in 20

[wraith shadow]

Mobile

[deft coral]

its easier for someone to grasp assignment if a = is always involved

rather than the classic i++

[dark cedar]

ok but do you understand what im tryna do

[south comet]

so they dont add ++ but add == where as c# for example adds "is"

💀

[dark cedar]

@dull sphinx run this code

[deft coral]

i didnt say it was perfect lmao

[south comet]

roblox being imperfect is its primary feature 🤷 🙏

[wraith shadow]

yeah i do

[deft coral]

roblox didnt invent lua but yeah

[south comet]

but they did luau

[wraith shadow]

luau is just a type of lua

[deft coral]

i mean yeah but they didnt add new expression syntax

lol

[wraith shadow]

honestly if they did

[deft coral]

more of a fork

[south comet]

i guess not, tho type checking could count even tho the interpreter ignores that part of code

[wraith shadow]

fork em

[dark cedar]

asmole

[south comet]

oh ye

[south comet]

ye

[deft coral]

the biggest contribution they did was parallel lua, which is moreso.. like

how do i explain this

[wraith shadow]

WHAT IS A XPCALL?!?!

[deft coral]

lua was made to be implemented and modded. its the garry's mod of programming languages

[wraith shadow]

EXCUSE ME WHAT

[deft coral]

a pcall but you specify an error handler

[dark cedar]

its to check roblox fail safe

[wraith shadow]

oh cool

[deft coral]

its not to do that

[dark cedar]

it is

stop lying to him

[deft coral]

😐

[wraith shadow]

Wtvr ill just stick to pcall

[south comet]

i thought it had something to do with c apis, i dont remember tho i read about this years ago

[wraith shadow]

how ironic garrys mod is coded in lua

how ironic

[deft coral]

I only use xpcall for network requests. I use assert to sanity check client info and I use the custom error handler to send client responses so it interprets it from my code's error messages into a user-friendly message, and handles any logic such as reversion or kicking exploiters

[wraith shadow]

Well mods atleast

[wraith shadow]

oh cool

[south comet]

cant remember the last time i used xpcalls tbh, im curious can u write a good example of when to use this?

[deft coral]

its a scripting language that works with C intentionally customizable and easy to work with, and its meant for non-programmers to get started, so the "Actual Devs" (roblox staff for example) have good access to engine API stuff without exposing everything while endpoint devs (us) get simplified and tailored development experiences

[dense lily]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MUgLaF22Yo&list=PLQ1Qd31Hmi3W_CGDzYOp7enyHlOuO3MtC&index=2 is this tutorial good to learn the basics of lua

[wraith shadow]

Id rather punish a cheater by making them code a part of the game in roblox studio

i want to see them burn

see them crumble in despair

[wraith shadow]

stick to experience

[dense lily]

wdym

[wraith shadow]

Learn by doing

not by watching

[dense lily]

wheres is view tab???

[wraith shadow]

Script or ui i think

[dense lily]

im going to repeat what he does in the video to learn gng no one learns by just watching

[wraith shadow]

try to make by yourself

not by doing what other people did

[south comet]

makes sense, since the lua src is made in c, still cool tho

coupled api spread across different languages sounds cool

[deft coral]

local methods = {
example = function(plr, arg1 : string)
assert(typeof(arg1) == "string", "Argument 1 should be a string!") -- sent to 'err' function

return true
end
}

local function eval(plr, method, ...)
assert(methods[method], "No such server operation exists.")

return methods[method](plr, ...)
end

invoke.OnServerInvoke = function(plr, method, ...)
local function err(code : string)
if code:find("!") then
plr:Kick("exploiting") -- i put an ! in the error msg so that means its really bad
end

warn("Error occurred from " .. plr.Name .. " in invoke!" .. "\n" .. debug.traceback()) -- unlike pcall, xpcall preserves trace

-- some other example of string reading via if statements/mapping to make it user safe

return "An error occurred."
end

return xpcall(eval, err, plr, method, ...)
end

Client gets if it was successful or not and the returned error message if not, or expected returned value(s)

mb i bullshitted it on the spot but yeah

[south comet]

damn what an interesting

coding style 💀

[deft coral]

yeah i call it discord text box 💀

[south comet]

ye it buns

[deft coral]

but do u see structurally what i mean

like with the xpcall and how it lets you handle that stuff

[south comet]

tbh id use bitfields for the code instead of a string and then matching

[deft coral]

u have to provide a string to the error handler

[south comet]

o ic

[deft coral]

yeah

at least in roblox lua, again its lua just

do whatever you want in ur own thing

[south comet]

hold on lemme paste this to a

an editor 💀

hm

oh ye xpcall doesnt fuck up the stack

thats useful

i completely forgot abt that feature ngl

[deft coral]

hope its helpful in the future

[south comet]

ye, i like how adaptable the language is, like theres virtually no limit to what u can borrow from other languages

[south comet]

ill keep it in mind

thanks

[deft coral]

Np thanks for being good conversation partner lol

Real OGs remember ypcall

[dense lily]

found it

[south comet]

unfortunately im from 2019 🙄

not og enough

wait NO like i started coding during that time

no discord ban

[random nebula]

inc operator is useless

its extra syntax that serves zero purpose

just do += 1

i do it in c also

[deft coral]

well it has an actual purpose but ok

[random nebula]

it doesnt

[deft coral]

it does in C, it can determine operation order

[random nebula]

you dont need that

[deft coral]

and unlike lua it goes into the for loop syntax

[random nebula]

just create a temporary lmao

[deft coral]

why would i do that if i can determine operation order

[random nebula]

it does the same thing

when will you ever want post fix increment over pre fix

its so rare u can just make a macro

and use that

[deft coral]

its not rare in systems programming at all, like tokenizing, parsing, delimiters, fixed size ring buffers

[south comet]

im pretty sure it has some internal optimization features, also great for compressing code with the ability to use it as an expression

[deft coral]

had to think i admit you rose a good like question

[random nebula]

it doesnt, if anything i++ is slower

[south comet]

either way, its just like how everyone is used to == being for equals, and other shit, its just standards

[wraith shadow]

Im familiar but i dont recall that term.

[random nebula]

i did allat without every needing post fix increment in rust

[deft coral]

int ring_lepop(struct Ring *r) {
int val = r->data[r-head++];
if (r->head == r->capacity) r->head = 0;
return val;
}

[deft coral]

its just pcall now i was doing a shitpost

they got rid of it cuz it was stupid to call it that

[wraith shadow]

I knew it

[south comet]

well yeah but tbf its just syntactic sugar

hes got a point on that

[wraith shadow]

but anyways

[deft coral]

he does, i just dislike hard "x is useless" cuz if it was useless it wouldn't be here lol

"just do x instead" well im not gonna do that cuz i have this feature already here

etc

[south comet]

ye i dont get why he had to get like "oh that shit is fucking pointless bro screw humanity"

[deft coral]

frankly, ego

[south comet]

🙏

[wraith shadow]

Anyway to check for ability usage both on client and on server?

[south comet]

ego for being a programmer 😭

[random nebula]

remove the ++ and put head += 1 after the val statement

[random nebula]

actually its called "we cant break backwards compatability"

[deft coral]

cant argue that one

[south comet]

is that c++ or rust 💀 im not even sure

[deft coral]

wdym

[deft coral]

c

[south comet]

o

wait u can use -> pointers for structs in c?

[random nebula]

💀

[random nebula]

its a dereference field access

[south comet]

ok hold on google time

oh ye

bro i havent used c in so long

[spark willow]

does anybody here use mise-en-place? I was going to use aftman but I checked out their repo, it's no longer maintained, and they suggest using mise-en-place

[timid light]

is 40k for one day good?

[full crest]

i hit this insane clip in my game and i have no idea where to post it is this tuff

[timid light]

why new ui🥀

[dark cedar]

went from 100 health to 100 health 🙏

[sour jetty]

what is this

[timid light]

random shi

[south comet]

looks like some linked list shit, not sure

[full crest]

i am more than happy to go into detail for why its not only better but why youre holding yourself back for using the old ui

[full crest]

the dummy auto regens after like .5 seconds

[timid light]

is it better?

[full crest]

YES bro i would LOVE to explain why

[timid light]

YES PLS

[full crest]

dms?

[sour jetty]

there is not even something called "int" in studio

its marked like as if its like "if" or "for"

[deft coral]

we were talking abt post/pre increment

it was just an example

[sour jetty]

does that script do anything?

[south comet]

cuz luaus dynamically typed

[deft coral]

it was for ring popping

[deft coral]

also this

variables are alive and such

[south comet]

bro i

[dark cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-tweaking-i-show-speed-gif-12569714116302055236

[sour jetty]

there is no way that is lua

[deft coral]

thats not lua

its c

[sour jetty]

oh okay

[deft coral]

we were talking abt c and stuff yea

[sour jetty]

okay

[south comet]

was searching how like javascript or something managed to make dynamically typed arrays, when i realised the moment it stops having the same type it turns into a hashmap 💀

i was like mesmerized at what i considered a work of art until i found out the truth

[deft coral]

Lua does the same thing actually

[south comet]

ye theres no arrays or anything tables are just maps

[deft coral]

No they can be arrays

[south comet]

oh fr?

[deft coral]

It starts as an array unless you break the sequence (swiss cheese) or non-int key

Then it swaps to hash

[south comet]

ic

its smart i guess, just not what i expected

i thought there was like a super genius buffer move done

[deft coral]

I think it was just a small micro-optimization, though it created headache

[dark cedar]

[deft coral]

lool

[crystal knot]

Remote event invocation discarded event for RobloxReplicatedStorage.SendLikelySpeakingUsers; did you forget to implement OnClientEvent? (1 events dropped) - Studio

what is this?

[south comet]

-- client ----------------------

local cached_timestamp

local event = ...
local function perform()
  if not cooldown stuff then
    return
  end

  cached_timestamp = workspace.DistributedGameTime -- now the action wont get spammed 
  cached_timestamp = event:InvokeServer( ... )
end

-- server ----------------------
local real_timestamp

function event.OnServerInvoke()
  if not cooldown stuff then
    return
  end

  real_timestamp = workspace.DistributedGameTime
  return real_timestamp
end

something i whipped up idk

@dark cedar

u essentially make a fake cooldown that gets replaced by the real one after the server processes the request

so client perform() doesnt get false positives

from lag delay

[dark cedar]

yeah uhm

my brain is so fried

so the thing is

I fire a remote

that finds a module

based on the stuff in the data that gets passed through and does the action

so idk how I would implement ts in my game

yeah ima just play anims on the server atp I give in

[teal yacht]

.

[dull sphinx]

yoooooo i finally got my code working how i wanted it to, i just made a function and called it when roll was true

[errant tulip]

dm if u want to co own a chicago hood game / still in the making so pls lmk if u can help in studio too

[south comet]

Alr im going to bed

[deft coral]

I was wrong btw

Tables are both array and hash at the same time, they get solved to either one depending on the key

It doesnt swap

I mean it swaps to either one but it doesnt remove the other

[south comet]

O

but i need an idea

Starting scripting in the big 25 💔

[lean ocean]

also use task.wait()

instead of wait()

before u get a bad habit

learn modular scripting 🥺

but still

1k line code a bit too much dont you think?

[magic bough]

can you use remote events in module scripts

i forgot cause i never use them

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-gif-18890916

yes

they act like local / server scripts depending if u required it from the client or server

[quaint escarp]

[radiant void]

Hello, I'm making a dash attack script but the ray is for some reason really inconsistent.

It only activates the if statement if im right next to the player.

Oh I can't even send images

[cyan sluice]

real statement

[static hornet]

any1 know why path:getwaypoints returns as an empty table?

[young yoke]

holy

[young yoke]

gotta yap more

[radiant void]

oh okay

[static hornet]

path.status was success tho

[young yoke]

lets see the compute path line

maybe the error is whitin the parameters

[static hornet]

PathTo.Pathfinding = function(CharacterModel: Model, NewPosition: Vector3)
    
    local Path: Path = PathFindingService:CreatePath()
    local Waypoints
    local PointFound
    local NextPoint = 0
    local Humanoid = CharacterModel.Humanoid
    
    local s, e = pcall(function()
        Path:ComputeAsync(CharacterModel.PrimaryPart.Position, NewPosition)
    end)
    
    if s and Path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
        Waypoints = Path:GetWaypoints()

i alr checked the positions and they r correct

[hollow aurora]

have u tried not wrapping the computeasync in a pcall 2 c if it still returns an empty array

[static hornet]

lemme check

ok so this is weird

[radiant void]

bro

What can i do? 😭

[static hornet]

when standing completely still, it returns empty 90% of the time, but sometimes returns a list of waypoints

[hollow aurora]

when standing completely still?

[static hornet]

yeah

might be important to note that its r15

[hollow aurora]

shouldnt matter if its a normal humanoid character

erm

and the status is success

try tracing the stack w breakpoints to see if u find anything idk im going to sleep Good luck

[static hornet]

alr then

hey uh i cant make a post in #scripter-hiring for some reason but im looking for a scripter to help me code a game; offering 200k robux after it's completed, and more if the game does well in terms of revenue

[young crystal]

is this safe enough? im scared of datstores 😭

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local RealmNamesTable = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.RealmNames)

local PlayerStatsStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerStats")
local StatTable = {}

local function TableCopy(original)
    local copy = {}
    for k, v in pairs(original) do
        copy[k] = v
    end
    return copy
end

local function LoadPlayerData(player)
    local data = PlayerStatsStore:GetAsync(tostring(player.UserId))
    if data then 
        return data 
    end

    local FirstRealm = RealmNamesTable.Realms[1]
    return {
        Qi = 0,
        Health = 100,
        Damage = 5,
        Talent = 2.0, 
        Realm = FirstRealm.Name,
        ZoneMultiplyer = 0
    }
end

local function SavePlayerData(player)
    local stats = StatTable[player]  
    if stats then
        PlayerStatsStore:SetAsync(tostring(player.UserId), stats)
        print("Data saved for " .. player.Name)
    else
        warn("No stats found to save for " .. player.Name)
    end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local playerData = LoadPlayerData(player)
    StatTable[player] = TableCopy(playerData)
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    SavePlayerData(player)
    StatTable[player] = nil
end)

return StatTable

200k robux after the game is finished and you can't post in scripter hiring

sounds legit enough

what doesnt sound legit

[hollow gull]

yes, this script is safe since it appears to just be logging: qi, health, damage, talent, realm, and zonemultiplyer

[young crystal]

thanks

[civic garnet]

no, it needs session locking

[hollow gull]

the data itself is safe but could use better security

i have sent a more secure version to your dms

[tardy pasture]

wrong section

[slate delta]

Hii guyss

I need a really good scripter and I got all the maps, UI thumbnail, icon, and investment ready!

Although you will be getting a percentage, we can talk about the percentage

That how much you want

[lean ocean]

ew

[slate delta]

I know everyone hates percentage so now, I am doing it myself

The scripters, even when I offered $150, rejected me. 🥲

[hollow hemlock]

so, imagine if i worked minimum wage at 7.25 dollars a hour

and youre telling me youll be paying 150$ for an entire gameto be programmed

[slate delta]

Or a half game?

[hollow hemlock]

thats at most 20 hours of work you're paying for

[slate delta]

With percentage la

[hollow hemlock]

what can you get done in 20 hours?

[slate delta]

@hollow hemlock

And hourly payment is different for different countries

If you live in America then a dozen eggs cost you around 4 dollars i think

But in my country, they cost 1 dollar

So we got different hourly pay

[inland agate]

But you should pay freelance work with standard payment

[hollow hemlock]

that doesnt really matter that much considering programmers arent paid minimum wage

[slate delta]

I can't really pay the international standard as it is mostly according to the US standard so that's why I was giving a percentage and no other work besides scripting.

[slate delta]

Yeah but they will also be getting a percentage and it's not like my game consists of really high or complex scripting.

[chilly valley]

try to change camera type to scriptable
2 line

might work

[frail stone]

https://tenor.com/view/hypershift-gif-27220070

anyone got an idea how this works

[static coral]

from what i can see the beams are just particle emitter and the car got a white texture that is constantly tweening colours

[frail stone]

its a bright texture

[static coral]

?

[frail stone]

its not a normal texture

focus

it moves with the camera

and the vehicle

yet not reflection

[static coral]

wdym

[frail stone]

hold on

[static coral]

also it could just be neon

the cars body

and then the texture is semi transparent

[frail stone]

no

not that

thats not even possible to have it that smooth

[static coral]

then idk vro ask badcc

[dense lily]

i love jailbrak

[static coral]

ooo

nah not sure then its probably some weird visual effect they doing

maybe viewport frame? but i doubt it

or the car’s body has negative reflectance or smt like that

[frail stone]

the old hyperchromes actually were that

just negative reflection

but roblox patched that long ago

[static coral]

negative reflection still works to some extent

but yea as i said not sure what exactly it is

[junior horizon]

That’s how I had it before but it was still the same

[dense lily]

how do i get rid of the blinking light

[chilly valley]

f11

[formal abyss]

How ı can make a block placing script

[chilly valley]

just appearing?

[formal abyss]

?

Grip placing system

[opal hare]

you can clearly see separation of some parts of the car as a different mesh, which leads us to conclusion that a part is using checkered texture surface appearance, not even with alpha or anything as the squares don't change color, other part is using neon material, thus can glow

god make david bazuki add emission maps to roblox

the separation is harder to see on the gif because it's shitty quality and blurred

[dense lily]

okay thanks

didnt work

[opal hare]

this one has to be something with reflectance and surface appearance

[hollow forum]

when making a td game, if you have lets say like 50 units, and all of them have different attacks, how to you do that?

[torpid condor]

Guys ive been struggling with this for a while, how do i make a steady moving object (via VectorForce constraint) while mentaining the character welded to it

cuz for me it kind of always starts shaking and glitches even with collisions off an massless set to true on the character

[native sail]

alt + f4

just kidding

press the 0 key on your num pad side or serch for insert button and click it

[fair tusk]

wdym?

[hollow forum]

like how to make different attacks for each of them, what if all of them need a script to function or have different attacks?

[fair tusk]

like u mean if one has zone damage and another doesn't?

or maybe just different damage or range?

or cooldown too

[static stone]

did you solve it

[proud idol]

it depends on how youll design your code system

theres plenty of ways, but you are looking for modularity

[prisma mason]

i would use composition

break each attack down to its simple parts, code the simple parts -> making attacks becomes a game of lego stacking

[hollow forum]

yea in a way

[hollow forum]

i don't get what that is 😭

[hollow forum]

so infinite scripts?

[prisma mason]

this is for godot but it explains composition

have fun

[sour jetty]

why does :destroy() always causes a sec freeze

[strong fog]

try task.spawn(function()
part:destroy()
end)

[sour jetty]

task.spawn for what

what does task.spawn do again?

[strong fog]

it opens new a tread where you gonna handle of destruction of your part

so you wont get freezes

[sour jetty]

would it be okay if you put it in here

[strong fog]

wdym?

[sour jetty]

task.delay(2, function()
SignClone2:Destroy()
end)

[strong fog]

if you want do delay then use debris

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

[sour jetty]

so I wont need :destroy right

[strong fog]

dont use it cuz it gonna cause freeze

[static stone]

Debris:AddItem(SignClone2, 2)

[sour jetty]

alr thanks

:destroy might get deprecated

its useless cause it always lags

[static stone]

yea

avoid using it
its better you use debris (for timed destroy) or .Parent = nil

[lean ocean]

stop trolling

@sour jetty dont listen to the dumbasses

[proud idol]

[wheat trail]

Destroying a script will cause a lag spike, so if you're destroying a model with scripts that may cause the lag

[blazing oasis]

Would you sacrifice a cat or dog for 20 bucks

[wheat trail]

No, delay is more convenient

Even better like this

local part = workspace.Part
task.delay(2, part.Destroy, part)

[junior cave]

||print("hello||

almost done my script

[lost pebble]

Any method of Color3 can produce any color

[sacred lily]

Roblox's built-in soft shut down system kicks players instead of teleporting them to a newer server, why could it be?

[wraith shadow]

Yes but color3.new the normal .new

[lost pebble]

You mean without any arguments?

[wraith shadow]

No just.New()

[lost pebble]

I’m confused. Color3.new() (no arguments) is just black

[wraith shadow]

oh

cool i mustve not been explaining myself correctly

[bronze path]

this is pure misinformation and whatever debris does would only be delaying the call to destroy

if you are creating and destroying a lot of stuff, a real way to optimize would be to pool the items and reuse them

look into an object cache module

[wispy ingot]

selling a script that randomly generate flying island made of blocs with infinite patern and variations dm if interested

[static coral]

i believe they had proper soft shutdown system for a bit but then removed it

check devforum

or just use soft shutdown module

[bronze path]

shutting down all servers teleports players to new servers in the experiences i'm in

but sometimes the teleport could just fail too

[jaunty yarrow]

wheres the best place to learn react-lua cuz lowk the roblox tutorial only shows the basics cuz like how do I structure my shit in vscode

[cinder basalt]

dont

you dont need it

turn back while you can

[jaunty yarrow]

a declarative workflow seems better no??

[cinder basalt]

why

[honest sierra]

How do i start scripting i alr know a few basics

[somber vault]

u js do

[static stone]

what do you know

[honest sierra]

If statements functions printing boolean stuff like the very basics

[static stone]

learn tables

[honest sierra]

Where

[static stone]

and looping methods like while and for

[honest sierra]

i alr know that

[static stone]

good

[static stone]

idk prob theres youtube videos talking abt it

[honest sierra]

but like how do i start like really scripting for example a combat system i have no idea how to do that

[blissful torrent]

does anyone know how to script a rolling or gacha type system

something like sol's rng's roll

[static stone]

you wont do advanced script before basic tho

[honest sierra]

ive watched like 2 basic tut playlist of 15 ep

i know everything but tables

i just havent mastered it

do i master it first

[jovial crown]

Yes extremly needed

[sour jetty]

DUDE

what happened bruh 5 pings

cause I said destroy might get deprecated

I used debris is good

destroy makes lag everytime

[static stone]

just dont use destroy

use debris:AddItem(game, 1)

[sour jetty]

why they ping 5 times then lol

[sour jetty]

funny

[static stone]

idk they like useless ping

[sour jetty]

wdym game bruh

you can get banned for this I guess

[static stone]

yes roblox might ban me for destroying their game

never do it at home

[sour jetty]

I mean in this server

corny ahh nasty ahh pfp btw

[static stone]

ok

[pale laurel]

yo does anyone know how to script the Height system with 7'0 average and higher=more rare?

[sour jetty]

I didnt want to be mean but you were messing with me sorry

[regal temple]

guys any game ideas, i cant come up wqith anything

[torn cargo]

can u get a player from a clickdetector

[lavish summit]

Hello everyone, are you doing well? Tell me, I have a problem with the Adonis system. My staffs did SpeedBoost on a significant number of people (10–15) and they were banned by Adonis’s anti-cheat, and when I run the command :banlist none appear. How can I unban them?

[real hemlock]

Just amend the datastore.

src code should outline how it's stored

[real hemlock]

Cmdr >>

[random nebula]

loadstring >>

[west plover]

Who wants to join our Dev Group? We build and help each other grow

[static stone]

best plugins/libraries for scripting?

i feel so dumb using only rojo idk

[cinder basalt]

None

Stay clean

[static stone]

rlly?

ok then

[cinder basalt]

Realistically you dont need them

Learn those when you have nothing else to learn

[kind ibex]

Can someone teach me How to make fortfolio

[sturdy dagger]

who let this 8 year old in

[foggy burrow]

lmao

[quartz beacon]

paying someone in robux or crypto to finish a project for me dm

[light shadow]

me

For badges that that you award for things players have to earn over longer time things/multiple play sessions - do you all just tap into whenever you save that data and see if they need the badge and award it? I take it you have to build some sort of resiliency in case the call fails so they are not locked out from ever earning the badge?

[cinder basalt]

You save it like all other persistent data

How could it fail

[grand steeple]

network issues I suppose like server crash or idk just thinking like if you have a badge for "player does X thing 100 times" and somehow award badge fails. I take it you'd have to check each time of 100 times they did something if it was previously awarded and if not award it but that seems like some bloat... (though can be optimized for sure)

[cinder basalt]

Just keep tracking the thing forever

and if player thing > 100 and not has badge theh
Award badge

I dont think theres a way to simplify that

[grand steeple]

got it - and is it universal that profileservice is the recommend way to save data? I've avoided all other 3rd party modules to date in my game but about to have to add saving so I can implement badges

[rigid cedar]

great for saving player data especially if you plan to implement trading in the future

profile locking basically solves most of the basic duplication glitches that many games hage suffered from

[cinder basalt]

Profilestore

It has the essentials

[rigid cedar]

cant speak on that i've actually never heard of profilestore

[median tree]

If you’ve never saved data before, learn data stores first

[cinder basalt]

Its profileservice new maintained version

[rigid cedar]

oh fr? will check it out

[grand steeple]

haven't in roblox but am fullstack dev by day job

[median tree]

Full stack in what

[grand steeple]

web dev

[rigid cedar]

you should have no problem learning profileservice/profilestore then it's pretty basic if you have actual experience in web dev

[cinder basalt]

Its not even that new anymore
