code-discussion

[somber vault]

some jump over the river, which i have made possible and some fly

which i just manipulate to look like they do

[iron kraken]

what u need to do is at the start of the game calculate and save all the pathfinding points on the map then use a pathfinding algorithm to move the units how u like

[somber vault]

the units are placed over the time of the game

wherever the player wants

[iron kraken]

yea ik clash royale right?

[somber vault]

at their own side of the bridge

yeah

of course

[iron kraken]

also that way ur movement is more precise and predictable if u make ur own

which is important for a clash royale type game

[turbid socket]

Guys is if true that client prediction and consistent ragdoll are mutually exclusive

[somber vault]

no tutorials on yt tho

im not like crazy

[burnt ruin]

I saw what you are tryna do. I would suggest just create a grid based placement system and add a variable waypoint on each tile. From here there are many Ai algorithms that use this sort of arrangement. Using :MoveTo is ur best option in my opinion

[somber vault]

alr im going to sleep ill just keep it as is

its gonna be a ragebait game fr

ts too complicated already i aint making my own AI

[iron kraken]

its not as hard as you may think 😃

[native remnant]

yo why doesnt the if == detect the value being right?

oh...

holy time waste

[iron kraken]

u can use type actually

[native remnant]

still doesnt work somehow

it doesnt get past if value == "Level" then

[burnt ruin]

what is this 💀

you couldve gone Any other way about doing this lol

[native remnant]

ok unc

[burnt ruin]

I aint unc bro. I am just 20

[native remnant]

because I dont want to update the value on the client

[native remnant]

unc

[burnt ruin]

(might be an unc)

[native remnant]

how would I go about doing it then

[burnt ruin]

set attributes on your objects themselves. Whatever u are making

btw actually what you are making?

[native remnant]

why does that matter lol

im not gonna leak my (amazing) idea

[burnt ruin]

real

[native remnant]

so I have this in the players character

[burnt ruin]

that makes things easier to understand lol

I was just gonna say "Create a folder aof int values and add attributes on them"

looks like you already have a folder

just need to work a little with attributes

[native remnant]

I dont think Im even doing this wrong

[burnt ruin]

you are not but like that's not the best way to do it

[native remnant]

why doesnt it work😭

[burnt ruin]

that ur question?

[native remnant]

yes

[burnt ruin]

alr lemme take a look

it stops on if value == "Level" right?

[native remnant]

yeah

[burnt ruin]

so first of all, are you updating this "Value" int object during the gameplay or is it fixed?

[native remnant]

or if value "Money" whatever I put it

[fallow tiger]

just want to point out that this isn't true pretty sure, although I still wouldnt use type as a variable name

[burnt ruin]

yeah bro, change that "type"

[native remnant]

already did

[burnt ruin]

it's literally highlighted blue

alr then answer me

[opal jewel]

missile kill

[fallow tiger]

also are you firing the value from the client cuz you are not supposed to do that

[iron kraken]

ok yea ur right

[fallow tiger]

lol

easy exploit for exploiters

you are doing it backwards

[native remnant]

It goes this far

[fallow tiger]

dont trust the client, trust the server

[burnt ruin]

I get it bro. answer me tho

do you update it mid game?

[native remnant]

yes

[burnt ruin]

alr

[native remnant]

when I catch fish it updates

[burnt ruin]

is the folder parented to player or character?

[native remnant]

char

[burnt ruin]

alr

can you show the script where you are firing the server event from?

[native remnant]

how would I make it so on m1 from the server it calls a function

[fallow tiger]

you should probably watch atleast a few videos on leaderstats mane ngl. If you are doing stats like money you should be putting it in a folder in player

[native remnant]

im not doing leaderstats

I know how they work

Its a roguelike so the stats are temporary

[burnt ruin]

I think he also has an initialization script, and since he is using integer objects. Its better to put it under character to make sure that script fires after all have loaded up

[fallow tiger]

m1 from server? wym?, cuz for combat systems (easy m1 ones) you handle hb client then fire server and on server connectfunc to that function lets call it OnHit, then params will get passed with player, (fire the enemy aswell from client), enemy, then check if enemy is too far from player

[native remnant]

alr so I just add a remote to server then call the module script function there?

[burnt ruin]

you didn't share the place where you are firing the server

[fallow tiger]

sure, or you can directly connect it if its literally just a remote to fire an m1

you can do lua remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(module.FunctionNeeded)

without needing the extra function in the brackets

since all params will be passed anyways

unless you have a specific param you wanted to pass that doesnt get passed from the event

[native remnant]

if I call a module function from server and the function calls another module function, is it also server.

[burnt ruin]

definitely

[fallow tiger]

ye, the scripts runcontext is always the asme

as the script that

uses it

[native remnant]

alr

[burnt ruin]

ur client side code bro. Where you fire the server event

can you share it or not?

[native remnant]

the Main.Cast proceeds the scripts

till the end

[burnt ruin]

Is it under the characterscripts or playerscripts?

[native remnant]

uhh theres a lot, maybe kinda unorganized but oh well

char

[burnt ruin]

ok

so that Main.Cast module function fires the event?

[native remnant]

@fallow tiger yo if youre still there so, if I fire the module function from the server I wont need another function to change the stat values on the server, I can just change them in the function

[carmine cairn]

Who has an tutorials on making assets on roblox studios?

[burnt ruin]

just add an "else print(value)" in ur serverevent function bro. If it's nil, that means it's either a loading issue, or you are mentioning it's path wrong on ur module script, or the event is firing before the Value updates. Any of these 3 probably

[native remnant]

oh...

figured it out

wait what

somehow the order of variables is messed up

idk how

[burnt ruin]

I see. So you are doing :Stats:GetChildren()"

aren't you?

@native remnant

[native remnant]

what

[burnt ruin]

are you using Stats:GetChildren()?

[native remnant]

nah

[burnt ruin]

so...

any place if you are creating a table, that is probably messing up the order

what did it print anyway?

[native remnant]

im gonna go to sleep

ill figure it out tmrw

[burnt ruin]

🛌

[native remnant]

so it printed the plr name and amount if u want to know

I put

print(tostring(value)..tostring(Type))

[open vault]

thats it

[native remnant]

because I wanted to know both

[noble zinc]

yo can someone help me its not showing an error but at the same time it is working

`local closeShop = script.Parent.closeShop
local buyButton = script.Parent.buyButton
local prompt = script.Parent.Prompt

closeShop.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
closeShop.Visible = false
buyButton.Visible = false
prompt.Visible = false
end)`

[native remnant]

ill be going now bye

[burnt ruin]

😪

[spice cypress]

If its not showing am error and working isnt that good

[burnt ruin]

uhh, also enable the prompt with promt.Enabled or Active, I forgot the property

[noble zinc]

i meant isnt lol

[burnt ruin]

straight up not working?

[noble zinc]

its already enabled

[noble zinc]

yea

[burnt ruin]

keep it disabled, enable it in the function

and also I am pretty sure it's .Active, not .Enabled

I might be wrong

[noble zinc]

ok lemme see if it works

[burnt ruin]

also what is "CloseShop". Is it surface gui?

[plucky urchin]

yoo is that a7x

[spice cypress]

Yih

[burnt ruin]

@noble zinc

[spice cypress]

Yuh

[plucky urchin]

cool

[noble zinc]

textbutton

[plucky urchin]

these days hard to find scripters with good music taste tho

[noble zinc]

so yea

[spice cypress]

Lmao

[burnt ruin]

wait. You are using a local script right? just to be clear here

[noble zinc]

yea

[burnt ruin]

and the script is under....?

[noble zinc]

its in the sceenGui

[burnt ruin]

and the screen gui is under starter player gui or replicated storage?

[noble zinc]

startergui

[potent shell]

You mean Triggered?

[burnt ruin]

hmmm, the script you shared here don't have a problem. The problem must be in the gui itself. Few questions, is the closeShop button visible on your screen? If yes, then add a "Print("Clicked")" kinda debugging statement to see if it is firint the Clicked event. Also, on the line you are making the connection, create a variable such as "local connection = closeShop.Mouse...." Like this, and at the end of the script just do "If connection then print("valid")" or something like that

[potent shell]

Can u explain ur code

[burnt ruin]

I thought it was a proximity prompt at first, but then I realized this is gui, and they just named it prompt

[potent shell]

I can’t understand

Closeshop is a frame?

Or button

[noble zinc]

no a text button

[burnt ruin]

do what I told you here

[noble zinc]

alright

[potent shell]

Just make the frame invisible

Or transparent I mean

That the buttons are children og

Of

[noble zinc]

ok

so the code randomly works now

[burnt ruin]

randomly?

[noble zinc]

it printed the statement and made everything invisible

[noble zinc]

yea i didnt even finish the suggestion you did

[potent shell]

Prob cause it sometimes takes to long to load

But still

Reference 1 variable the frame and make its transparency 9

0

[burnt ruin]

Wait, We are not living in lord of the rings or harry potter. Magic aint even real, what did you change?

[noble zinc]

the only thing i did was make the prompt active

[potent shell]

What prompt

Bro your variables suck

[noble zinc]

the textLabel

[potent shell]

To be honest with u

[burnt ruin]

bro.... So what was prompt anyway?

[potent shell]

Why did you name your textlabel prompt

[noble zinc]

it was just asking if you wanted to buy the item or not

[potent shell]

And closeShop should be called Exitbutton or something

There’s no way for us to know what the stuff your referencing is

[noble zinc]

sorry

i'll take it into consideration next time

but thank you guys

[potent shell]

Yh no you learn as you go

[burnt ruin]

I still can't wrap my head around it. How does simply activating the prompt magically made ur script work? You said it wasn't even throwing any errors. If the Prompt was disabled then it should have threww an error when you were referencing it with script.Parent.Prompt

#MagicIsReal

[noble zinc]

indeed it is my friend

[potent shell]

The button wasn’t active

The property

[burnt ruin]

OHHHH, but wait... They said it was a text label right? "Prompt"

[potent shell]

Or something didn’t load before I guess

Idk man

Couldn’t understand

[noble zinc]

The buttons were active without the code

[burnt ruin]

ae @noble zinc did you also Activeate the button?

[noble zinc]

Yea

[burnt ruin]

but it shouldve been active before by default. I still couldn't find a reason

    local map_spawns = current_map:WaitForChild('Spawns')
    
    main_mod.teleport_players(players_in_round, map_spawns)
end

im trying to make it check if theres enough people in the game and i tried testing it with 1 player but its not working

[fair copper]

chat is this missing anything or i just gotta in visuals?

im not sure yet,

[onyx chasm]

Why don’t you just check if #Players:GetPlayers() >= 1

[compact spoke]

i mean the ui is really ugly

that font is terrible

[lost gorge]

I think its the fact you are creating a new table for users_in_game each type it repeats

just keeps getting reset if im not wrong

or actually nah

thats the logic you are going for

[worldly sonnet]

its fine i fixed it

i just forgot to add the intermission function 😭

[lost gorge]

yeah and you can definitely short it a lot using this ^

since itll return a table for you

[glass briar]

hi

[viral verge]

Hello

Does anybody have any advice on how I could make Robux so I can make my game?

[potent dune]

What do we think of this

[viral verge]

I honestly have no idea what this means... I am trying to get Robux so I can hire people to code for me... sorry

[potent dune]

i was asking the chat in general

[viral verge]

Sorry. I shouldn't but I kind of only said that so people would reply with advice on how I can make Robux, but thats probably not the best way to do it

[potent dune]

yeah probably not

[viral verge]

Yeah, I am the "attention seeker" type of person

[compact spoke]

Code smell

Is this not literally what canvas groups were made for

[potent dune]

yeah but a canvas group in a canvas group looks ugly and smudged

blurry

[compact spoke]

are you telling me you are nesting canvas groups

[potent dune]

and in my case i would have to put a canvas group in a canvas group

[potent dune]

Well no im not thanks to this function

[compact spoke]

wtf requires this

[potent dune]

A notification frame which decreases the notification transparency the higher up the notification is while still tweening the notification's transparency when its supposed to disappear

[compact spoke]

christ almighty

all in the name of looking fancy

[balmy zenith]

.fadeTransparency

[potent dune]

Yep

[mild badge]

anyone know how i would make a basketball shooting system

https://acegogames.notion.site/Shooting-Mechanic-28c0185d427780e3abcbf3358b97d5fb?source=copy_link

[hasty mesa]

kinematics

[mild badge]

thankss i'll look more into it

[mild badge]

how would i position the (parabola ball path) from the person towards the ring and adjust it based on user input position

[hasty mesa]

you can derive a equation thats from start to end

and you can adjust
angle, speed , acceleration

[mild badge]

you available for hire by any chance i've been stuck with this problem for hours and i couldn't find a solution

TvT

[hasty mesa]

whats the issue

[mild badge]

i want the peak of the parabola to be at cursor

[hasty mesa]

you can calculate that

when its at its maximum

y_vel is at 0

[tiny oracle]

any of u guys know how to put put animations on a custom rig?

like 1 part custom rig

[hasty mesa]

if velocity_0 and acc is constant

[tiny oracle]

im not rlly a coder

[hasty mesa]

then you would be calculating the angle

[mild badge]

thx thxx

[mild badge]

do you take commissions or fulltime jobs, gonna need a competent scripter in the future

also accept my friend req thx thx if you don't mind

[hasty mesa]

not currently

[mild badge]

i see alr alr nw

[lucid bison]

What is the best way to learn code for Roblox?

[balmy zenith]

official docs

[lucid bison]

???

What are they

[void sluice]

#open-ticket

[balmy zenith]

google roblox official docs

[zenith cloak]

just do repeat task.wait() until #game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers() >= 1

[balmy zenith]

or just use an event

playersadded

[zenith cloak]

could cause bugs when like a round ended and it intermissions again but he should use player left and then check again if enough players are in game

[solar inlet]

Guys every client thing is accessibile to cheaters right?

So it’s better to put most things on the server

[hoary cedar]

Yes and no

Anything that isn't relevant to security shouldn't be hidden from the client, especially if it's something the client interacts with

[solar inlet]

Like droptables?

[hoary cedar]

I'm not familiar

[bright relic]

if you're talking about weighted chance tables then its fine to expose to the client, typically:

• if you use it on the client only, put it on the client only
• if you use it on the server only, put it on the server only
• if you use it on both, put it in replicatedstorage or somewhere else thats replicated, though replicatedstorage is standard for any replicated scripts/modules

in terms of putting stuff on server only its good for security for sure since clients dont have it downloaded/replicated to their computer and therefore cant be modified or viewed, but its also good for load times since the client doesnt have to get it downloaded/replicated

[balmy zenith]

does server scripts still replicate when in replicated storage etc

[bright relic]

i dont believe so, wouldn't make sense for them to be replicated to client

[bright relic]

nevermind, apparently roblox does it lmao - atleast if the clientside view in play mode in studio is the same as in a live game

[fair copper]

ye well its not really my job to like get good ui for now lol

[shut ridge]

Send script and people will help you here

[delicate remnant]

how do you guys version control? i'm used to git, but is it recommended?

[cinder basalt]

I version control using a pendrive and a pigeon

A lot of pendrives and pigeons

can someone help fix animations not loading in studio or ingame (old game im trying to go back to)

[keen forge]

hi guys, have you ever get into a situation where something just doesn't work in Studio and it don't make sense ? Like i disable a emitter on Studio but it's still there... but if i publish and go live it works fine

[static forum]

anyonw wanna make a game toghter

[safe lagoon]

me solo dev be careful

🦟

[crude cedar]

Do yk scripting?

@static forum

[static forum]

yh

@crude cedar

[crude cedar]

Nice

[static forum]

so

?

u got an idea?

@crude cedar

[crude cedar]

no

[shy cipher]

do scripts run in storage services like serverstorage or replicatedstorage (other than modules when they are required)

[balmy zenith]

no

[dusky rapids]

how do u send automated messages in chat through server script? or u cant anymore?

local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")

local generalChannel = TextChatService:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):WaitForChild("RBXGeneral")

task.spawn(function()
    while true do
        generalChannel:DisplaySystemMessage("server!")
        task.wait(2)
    end
end)

[lucid bison]

How do you get them?

[balmy zenith]

https://create.roblox.com/docs

[sturdy parrot]

Yo

[fickle pebble]

Try to do a server script inside textchatservice itself

No idea rn

[exotic shard]

you would have to use remote events and fire from server > client and use textchannel:sendasync()

[real hemlock]

This is something very simple that will be documented either in the creator documentation, or on DevForum. Can you search there before asking?

[shell ravine]

unique slide system im working on, thoughts?

some bugs but eh ill fix em later

[verbal salmon]

Who wanna invest in a modded sab game Who got 100-250 ccu without ads we made 11klast 72 hours dm me

[golden folio]

Give me 1% for 50 bubuc 🔥🤤

[gentle trench]

Wsp ! How are yall ?

Im actually looking for a good scripter.

Come dm if your interessed !

[distant hamlet]

whats that filter u got on

[shell ravine]

just custom posterization in roblox studio (no not using that one fog glitch that breaks atmosphere)

anyways whaddya think of the actual sliding mechanic

[distant hamlet]

the arms are funky

it looks like im driving an invisible car

[shell ravine]

the actual sliding mechanic

ps the arms are placeholders and arent even animated yet

[distant hamlet]

it looks pretty great

i like the momentum

why the sudden jump when you stop though

[shell ravine]

thanks
anything i could improve?

[keen forge]

looks really good

[shell ravine]

kind of kicking off wall mechanic
triggers when hitting a wall at over 35 speed

implemented it since i thought it would be pretty neat and better than plain old sliding

[distant hamlet]

no like in the 4th clip the camera abruptly jumps when u come to a stop

[shell ravine]

thanks

[shell ravine]

oh that
its cause i decreased the camera y when sliding and made it recover after sliding

[keen forge]

it's him standing up bro

[shell ravine]

pretty much yea

[distant hamlet]

i would have smoothed it out but ig it depends on the game feel

[shell ravine]

havent polished it yet but looks presentable

[keen forge]

is this like a speedrunners?

[shell ravine]

really fast paced movement shooter inspired by ultrakill and doom

[keen forge]

cool af, i would play it

[shell ravine]

hold on lemme send some more of the game

@keen forge ingame visualizer thing

mc model

mc revolver

mc art

[bitter harbor]

who is a pro scripter

[keen forge]

u did all this ?

[stiff citrus]

So if i have a ssa the server modules dont belong in the replicatedstorage right?

[keen forge]

Server modules on server storage

or serverscriptservice

[stiff citrus]

Yeah i thought so bc this youtuber showed how he organizes scripts and he put them into the rs

[fair copper]

maybe hes got uses for it on client too

[keen forge]

yeah

[bitter harbor]

guys

who knows the game disch

[shell ravine]

scripting, gameplay and models by me
art by chococolca
masterlegend helped with some models
music by redskuller and coolay

[gloomy crescent]

I do, what about it?

[keen forge]

Nice, you guys are good

[shell ravine]

thanks
the game has been in active development for 2 months so far btw

[keen forge]

I never got into modelling, just the basic studio stuff

[fair copper]

😎

[shell ravine]

understandable, topology is a pain
never too late to start doe

[fair copper]

where are all the good ui artists

and builders

are they hiding

[keen forge]

haha i plan o start once i start working on future projects

[lapis kestrel]

yo guys me and my team are making like a zombie based survival game
im having problem with like random loot generation
aka like spawning guns from toolbox around the map can anyone help us

[keen forge]

but for now im focusing more on scripting

[fair copper]

whats the issue

dan_da_boy42

[lapis kestrel]

we need to like randomly generate like guns around the map and we have no idea how to code and our coders are like offline so if anyonw knows how to

[fair copper]

wait for ur coders

[keen forge]

I would add Spawners arround the map, spawners would be a part that spawns random guns now and then... by spawning random guns you could have a table for your guns and then generate a random number to select a random gun

[fair copper]

but basically u assign an area then randomly pick positions inside the area and add in constraints so it doesnt literally spawn inside walls n stuff
then u add some factors like what items or whatever stuff you want to spawn more than others

whitelist some parts of the map so its entirely avoided

[keen forge]

could be too

but this way seem messy

[fair copper]

and uhh add in code to like always spawn the dropped items on surface of the ground with a snapping module sort of thing that automatically pulls them into the nearest surface

[keen forge]

you have to think about the whole map

[fair copper]

instead of a map, u can just utilize tags n parts

alot of ways to go on about it

[keen forge]

yeah

[fair copper]

it is messy but it can be useful in alot of things

u wouldnt need separate module to spawn in items within storage spaces

etc

can also use that same module to spawn in mobs

[keen forge]

more dynamic right?

got ya

[fair copper]

yep

[bitter harbor]

are you a pro scripter?

[keen forge]

bro im bronze 🙁

[gloomy crescent]

No

do yall have any idea of a server where ppl look for node developers

https://www.roblox.com/share?code=db1395e1ccf27f4b9f7aa6453c6ffab7&type=ExperienceDetails&stamp=1760462632354

how much do you guys think a game would cost to script like this but a different concept?

You just open eggs for pets and they follow you around and mine ore, and you pick up the coins.

There's also fusing pets together to make higher rarity pets

yeah I bet lol

I think so

progression is locked behind pet index instead of currency

[native sail]

I have seen the bus game before

[native sail]

Any advance scripters in here that are bored

[craggy stratus]

is it true that chatgpt is better than 90% of scripters

just asking

[grave zenith]

What’s the point of having copy limits

[craggy stratus]

genuine question

Chat gpt is a tool

For instance it’s like saying “is it true that blender is better than 90% modeler”

There is no point in that question

[craggy stratus]

im arguing with a guy saying that chatgpt cant code for shit because he prob used it in 2022 and he thinks that it didnt change at all

[glass briar]

Hi

[craggy stratus]

and blender cant really do stuff on itself

chatgpt can

im worried for all us devs, not just scripters, ai is probably gonna replace us soon

i gotta get money from comms fast 😭

[grave zenith]

Like chat gpt

You can’t handle a game with optimized scripts if you have no clue about what you’re doing

Same as blender, you can’t model anything if you don’t know what you’re doing

but if you’re talking about knowledge then yes of course chat gpt is better than mostly of scripters since it has access to every sites and informations in a moment. But not only for scripts, in all plenty of domains

[craggy stratus]

arent you worried that it will take your job

because i am

im lowk terrified

[carmine cairn]

Who has good tutorials on creating Roblox Assets?

[grave zenith]

Why are you terrified if you can take this as an advantage

[craggy stratus]

less demand

[grave zenith]

I use AI every days and it saves my life

[carmine cairn]

I use A.I to make my game.

[grave zenith]

What do you mean

You probably talking about people wanting only human scripts ?

[craggy stratus]

less demand for devs if chatgpt can make everything for you

[grave zenith]

I just explained you that no, chat gpt can’t make a full game

That’s a myth

[craggy stratus]

now, no it cant

who knows in a couple of years

[topaz crypt]

If you understand the pseudo code logic of a system you want and explain it to chatgpt theres nothing it can’t make

[grave zenith]

To understand the “pseudo code logic” you must learn it first

So chat gpt is definitely a tool, not a machine

[craggy stratus]

im js saying, im worried as a builder, idk how yall arent

[grave zenith]

There will be a solution to everything

[craggy stratus]

lowk destroy all chatgpt servers before it becomes too dangerous

[carmine cairn]

Who has good tutorials on creating Roblox Assets?

[grave zenith]

Microsoft didn’t destroy computers, they used it

[craggy stratus]

have you seen that experiment where gpt5 tried to kill someone to ensure that it wasnt shut down

[grave zenith]

🤣

[craggy stratus]

look it up on yt

[grave zenith]

I have no idea if I should take you seriously

[craggy stratus]

look it up on yt

you underestimate how fast ai has became smarter

[grave zenith]

I don’t even need to search it up to know it’s fake

[craggy stratus]

https://www.newsweek.com/ai-kill-humans-avoid-shut-down-report-2088929

read it its interesting

theres also this video about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9HwA5IR-sg&t=611s

its pretty interesting

unless ofc you want to keep denying

[grave zenith]

“Extremely contrived”

[craggy stratus]

it still tried to kill someone

[green reef]

That doesn't really change anything

[grave zenith]

Simulations are made to explore what could go wrong, not what is happening. That’s a big difference.

[craggy stratus]

it shows that if it were put in those conditions, as an example by some unexperienced people, it could put at risk people's lives

[green reef]

The difference doesn't matter, the fact that it even considered harming a living organism to make sure it doesn't get shutdown raises a red flag.

Whether its contrived or not

[grave zenith]

Are you scared of kids?

[craggy stratus]

just admit you're wrong, you even laughed at me and said that it was obviously fake

[green reef]

Are you scared of being wrong?

[craggy stratus]

i would be scared of a kid with the power of killing me easily

[green reef]

I have no clue why you're even attempting to justify a billion dollar industry that wastes billions of water to power AI slop that also happened to fail tests like that

[grave zenith]

I’m not scared of anything, just proving that everything you see in the internet is not reflecting the reality

[green reef]

The reality is that it happened though?

They provided proof and Anthropic admitted it happened

[craggy stratus]

i just proved that it does reflect the reality, is newsweek now trustworthy anymore? is it fake news like you said? are you still gonna laugh at me and say its obviously made up?

[green reef]

I'm confused on what you're trying to get at, AI models should not be able to think about harming someone no matter what

[craggy stratus]

what do you have to say about this

[grave zenith]

Well wake up me when “AI IS GOING TO DO A GENOCIDE” when human can do extremely more worst things

Just wake up

[green reef]

You're completely missing the point

[craggy stratus]

ai is much more powerful than humans

ai doesnt have morals

ai is much smarter

[sweet radish]

instead of preloading the entire game during loading screens, is it better to just preload animation ids, sound ids and textures for vfx?

[craggy stratus]

gang we're having like an einstein level conversation here

[sweet radish]

can u please give me an einstein level answer then i wont bother u again sir

[craggy stratus]

@sweet radish what do you think

[green reef]

Depending on the game

[craggy stratus]

is ai dangerous

[grave zenith]

Just listen

[craggy stratus]

im lowk not a scripter

[sweet radish]

it is becoming very dangerous

[craggy stratus]

read the stuff i sent

[grave zenith]

Even if ai was powerful enough, human will still limit its capacity

[green reef]

If the buildings in your game are resource demanding then I'd preload them but if they're simple and you have no unions and stuff then preloading animations and the other stuff is probably better

[craggy stratus]

this.

[sweet radish]

to the point where it may be out of our control

[craggy stratus]

how

[grave zenith]

Because human made AI

[craggy stratus]

have you seen how much it has advanced in a couple of years

[grave zenith]

You forgot ai was code or what

[sweet radish]

simulator

[green reef]

Human also made fire

Fire also hurts humans

[craggy stratus]

ai made ai

we didnt make ai

ai trained ai

[grave zenith]

But human imposed training

[craggy stratus]

do you really think that someone wrote the code for chatgpt

[grave zenith]

Ai didn’t say that it will train itself

[craggy stratus]

someone human

[green reef]

AI does train itself

[craggy stratus]

ai is already training itself

[grave zenith]

Ok

[craggy stratus]

fym ok

[grave zenith]

Imagine you’re making a ai to learn walking alone

HOW THE HELL IT WILL LEARN TO KILLSOMEBODY

[craggy stratus]

they already did that

they gave it a human like body in a simulation and it learned to run faster than the world's fastest man in a couple of days

and killing a man is much easier than that

[green reef]

ChatGPT has access to the internet, and I can't even put a number on how many times people have used prompts to "jailbreak" ChatGPT to get unrestricted answers and with that they were able to ask how to build a bomb but you're in disbelief that AI will learn how to kill someone as if it doesn't already know

[craggy stratus]

all ai should be either government propriety or destroyed

[grave zenith]

I don’t know how Chat gpt works

[sweet radish]

definitely destroyed

[grave zenith]

But I know it’s using open libraries to document itself and share thoses information through chatting

[teal moon]

damn

[green reef]

are you 9 years old or something

[grave zenith]

So that’s a loop because human made them

[craggy stratus]

i agree, maybe just one powerful ai owned by the government or something

[craggy stratus]

humans trained ai's that trained ai's that train ai's, then those ai's started training themselfes, we have no idea how chatgpt works

[grave zenith]

You are the 9 year old thinking about science fiction

[teal moon]

idk abt the only AI available being owned by the government is a good idea

[green reef]

Great comeback, your logic is insanely dumb

[craggy stratus]

and put a nuke in the servers so you can destroy them before its too late

pro plan

[teal moon]

I don't think it should be destroyed

[grave zenith]

Well when you will find a valid point I’ll argue

[craggy stratus]

we already did, you just refuse to aknowledge them

[green reef]

We've been giving you valid points and all you've been doing is arguing but with absolute stupidity

[grave zenith]

I’m not stupid I’m realistic

[craggy stratus]

what's realistic for you

[bold hound]

[green reef]

I guess for him being realistic means never thinking about the future

[craggy stratus]

you're stuck in 2022

[teal moon]

this will go nowhere if yall js keeping insulting eachother

[green reef]

Yeahh I guess AIs tried to kill someone but that hasnt happened yet so its clearly stupid and would never happen in the first place

[craggy stratus]

we're not insulting each other

[teal moon]

then what is going on

[craggy stratus]

this is a high level conversation about artificial intelligence

we are all smart people

[grave zenith]

AI can be dangerous if human make it dangerous. Nuke can be dangerous if human use it that’s it

[teal moon]

ah yes very

[craggy stratus]

and we need to argue like smart people, not mindlessly insult each other

we're here to confront out point of views on a topic that has been discussed alot recently

[grave zenith]

This is chat gpt’s fault

[green reef]

Wow no shit sherlock, we've been saying AI is dangerous and you've been saying it isn't because humans made it

You're contradicting what you've been saying

[craggy stratus]

can we please be respectful to each other

[bold hound]

How would that even make sense?

[craggy stratus]

even if i agree with you

its not nice

[green reef]

Yea

[teal moon]

I agree

[craggy stratus]

lets all calm down

[hollow vine]

forget the beef, has anyone come across a similar problem where everything was working fine before but now when i shoot an rpg in my game it for some reason jitters and moves slowly

its not just with rpgs either it seems like physics in my game in general have gotten jittery overnight...

[grave zenith]

That doesn’t fit about what are you saying. I didn’t said ai cannot be dangerous. I said AI is doing what the human limit its capacity. So, AI will probably never be a threat since it’s litteraly illegal

[teal moon]

Yes, that is why after making progress you should always download a copy

[hollow vine]

errrrrrrrrm i said it happened overnight without me making any changes

maybe a roblox update to something

[bold hound]

What will you do if AI will not listen anymore, as it literally did in recent tests though?

[teal moon]

ya that happens 2 me sometimes but saving a copy always seems to fix it

[bold hound]

We entered the point where we hope something will change, not where we do something with AI

[grave zenith]

Turn off the computer !!!!

[teal moon]

woah

[bold hound]

I get your point though

[craggy stratus]

aibecame smart enough that doing morally wrong things has become more efficent than "playing fairly" to reach its goals

[bold hound]

That stops you but not the AI

[green reef]

You still don't make sense, just because something is illegal doesn't mean it can't and won't happen, illegal things happen everyday, the law doesn't stop anyone and it wouldn't stop an artificial intelligence that has no emotions, and you're still contradicting yourself, you're still saying AI cant be dangerous because humans made it but that literally does not make sense

[grave zenith]

We made human don’t do the war so why wouldn’t we be able to make AI not being build illegally

[bold hound]

Some don’t care

And AI is not some

[craggy stratus]

can you rephrase i dont get what you mean

[craggy stratus]

we cant afford to not care

[grave zenith]

Btw I’m not reading everything cuz it’s a 40v1

[green reef]

Nice

[craggy stratus]

its a 40v1 because 40 people are right and one refuses to accept the truth

[grave zenith]

Bro I’m referring the meme

“When I win a 40v1 I get negative aura”

[craggy stratus]

ai isnt a tool

we are

to it

[bold hound]

Anymore at least

[craggy stratus]

thats 30v1 not 40v1

get your memes straight b o i

[grave zenith]

There is different versions

[bold hound]

[craggy stratus]

we're trying to have a serious conversation, if you want to talk about memes then go somewhere else

[bold hound]

We got the point, no need to find the right meme

[grave zenith]

I’m out of the debate

[craggy stratus]

because you lost.

AI being dangerous

Not really unemployed

[grave zenith]

You think that is serious when you are scared of something that you can’t prove

[hollow vine]

and what r u gonna do about it

[bold hound]

More like time waste

[hollow vine]

or anyone here

[bold hound]

How am I supposed to know that

[grave zenith]

The proofs were just lost articles found in the dead sides of internet

[hollow vine]

yall talkin like ur politicains

[bold hound]

[grave zenith]

fr

[craggy stratus]

we already proved it

ai is dangerous

it tried to kill someone

[grave zenith]

Hmmm

[bold hound]

Most of the time

[craggy stratus]

to be hones

theres nothing to prove

its facts

[grave zenith]

Let me ask AI if your articles were right

[hollow crag]

every single person in this server is a mini version of some horrible WWI-WWII dictator

promise

[grave zenith]

AI know better AI then us

[craggy stratus]

chatgpt is programmed to defend its own image

[hollow crag]

verifying articles with AI is CRAZY

[grave zenith]

how can u tell that

[bold hound]

That’s why I tried to kill a human to prevent shutdown

Even after being told not to

[craggy stratus]

you can give it objectively true facts and it will deny

[grave zenith]

Don’t add your salt if you just came, close the door and don’t come back

[hollow vine]

maybe u can finally get a hidden devs role if u work instead of doing this

[bold hound]

How can you not tell that

[grave zenith]

Because I didn’t read the source code ( I don’t even know if it’s public )

[bold hound]

Me neither

[grave zenith]

but u didn’t either

[bold hound]

Yeah

[craggy stratus]

im having a conversation about a recent topic such as ai, maybe you wouldnt be stupid if you actually tried confronting your views on the world with others

[hollow vine]

[craggy stratus]

not at all, all i said is objective

[grave zenith]

wi_shh

He was trying to give good points I’d like him to come back

[hollow vine]

so did i maybe if u grind like me ull get a role

[bold hound]

Probably gave up

[bold hound]

What did you need to do for that role?

[hollow vine]

i got scripter role

[bold hound]

I submitted like a old system of mine and got denied

[craggy stratus]

i am grinding, i was building just a couple minutes ago before this conversation started

i dont script

[bold hound]

What did you submit, if you don’t mind me asking

[hollow vine]

what did u submit

[bold hound]

I think an old leaderboard system

[craggy stratus]

really depends on who checks your app

[hollow vine]

🥀

[bold hound]

Employee boost

[bold hound]

What should I submit

[grave zenith]

@craggy stratus tbh if u want to convince the world about that, do it alone but you will finally end up hitting a wall when talking to real specialists

[hollow vine]

not to be rude or anything but thats really not getting u in

[bold hound]

What is best to submit

[craggy stratus]

im more than willing to hit many walls if it helps me learn more about this topic

unlike you

[hollow vine]

1000 lines of physics and trigonometry

[grave zenith]

Take ur helmet and go then

[bold hound]

[grave zenith]

Because I’m not as interested as you in this topic since it’s unrealistic

[bold hound]

Do they test you afterwards?

Or just submit, wait, gamble?

[craggy stratus]

its clearly not since i've given you concrete proof

[grave zenith]

I told you, show your proofs to real specialists, they will either tell you you’re right or you’re wrong

The only solution

[bold hound]

He’s just trying to convince you right now though

[hollow vine]

forget about submitting ur not getting in with those simple systems

[bold hound]

Stop gatekeeping

Give me the secret sauce

[grave zenith]

I’m telling him that once he got solid proofs I’ll believe

[hollow vine]

mf there aint no secret sauce

[craggy stratus]

i dont think we have a specialist here, and i have a news article from a trustworthy source proving my points, so its more likely that the specialist would side with me

[bold hound]

What did you submit

Or more specifically how long was your code

[hollow vine]

i already told u what i did i could do a fking leaderboard system from day 1

[bold hound]

How well structured

[hollow vine]

i said 1000 lines bro

[bold hound]

Not leaderstats if you mean that

[bold hound]

Oh you were for real

[grave zenith]

Email chat gpt developers

[bold hound]

My bad

[hollow vine]

yes man

u probably dont need as much but i just wanted guranateed accept

so i made very complicated

[bold hound]

Was it worth it?

[craggy stratus]

of course the people that can make money from ai will defend ai

[hollow vine]

mhm

[warped geyser]

I had a question based on coding GUI, in many games GUI does stuff based on clicking it or hovering on it (slightly expanding, spinning etc) basically extremely responsive- I know tween service is used here but I doubt every button is individually tweened by creating and expecting tween so what’s the conventional way to do this efficiently

[craggy stratus]

i could say email the guy in the streets that thinks matrix is a documentary and i would be equally wrong

[grave zenith]

They will defend with worthy points though

[bold hound]

I only know react.lua as alternative

Don’t know how that works though

[craggy stratus]

the smartest person can lose an argument to a dumbass if they're wrong from the beginning

[warped geyser]

no I mean is a module script used with pre-configured tweens or each button is individually coded

[bold hound]

I‘d guess module script configured

@hollow vine

Right?

[craggy stratus]

im gonna go play something

bye guys

[grave zenith]

They will just say “We are trying our best to make our AI as safe as possible. We have full control on our recent models, if anything goes wrong we can of course edit our versions.”

And boom you’re cooked

[craggy stratus]

but they dont

the ai that trained chatgpt does

[grave zenith]

Gosh it’s too hard to explain because I didn’t made chat gpt

[craggy stratus]

its hard to explain because its wrong

read what i sent

it wont do you harm

have a nice day

im done

dont expect me to answer anymore

[grave zenith]

Of course it’s easier to argue if you’re based on stupid forums when I’m making my own argument

That’s like 0.1/1% of what you need for Illuminati

What game made you get that?

[grave zenith]

Check my portfolio

The one in your bio?

Yep

So it was doors but funny?

[grave zenith]

Yes

[paper geode]

so if im trying to make a basketball dribbling system, for the sliding during the dribble move should i use tween service?

[warm nova]

anyone got a dead game for sale?

[topaz crypt]

Yh might was aa addition to urs

[fair copper]

added proc damage.

also made a healthovertime module, negative means damage, positive means healing. pretty modular

[bronze depot]

my game is literally talk to AIs 💔

[bronze depot]

bro had to post on every channels

[quaint escarp]

yes this serv dead

[snow raft]

What are these people on bruh

This guy @pearl inlet is such a hater

Explain how it works? Does this guy know how to code

Do I need to add a comment after every line

Describing what I’m doing like he’s a toddler to get accepted

This shit is so annoying just give me the role

I bet this dude didn’t even read it he just put it into chat got and asked for an analysis

You guys don’t even quality check the fucking marketplace

But for some reason because I said “proxy table is for” instead of explaining what a fucking proxy table is I can’t participate in it

Waste of my god damn time with these minuscule issues

I make tables feel a way you never could

Use them how they’ve never been used before

[iron kraken]

😨

[snow raft]

But what is wrong with using it that way

I was using proxies to get __new index signals

And just redirecting __index

[tribal mango]

I'd decline you for adding something to Debris with timer 0 instead of just destroying it

derp derp moment

[snow raft]

I did that cause

There is a bug in studio that causes destroying humanoids to make huge lag spikes

I tried everything

That version of the entity script is an active project and a rough draft

[spiral urchin]

what is the best way to secure damage remotes?

[snow raft]

Verify everything

Don’t just trust what the client tells you

Like every other remote

Keep parameters passed to the server as minimal as possible

[spiral urchin]

the game im working on rn is kinda cooked

the damage remote is everywhere (client)

and i can only fix the server side

[snow raft]

Leave the project

You aren’t being paid enough

I once got paid 1k to repair and complete this sim game and I would never EVER take that deal again

[spiral urchin]

100-400k a week

i need to.

i would rewrite the entire damage but the client is too cooked.

[snow raft]

Get a part time job

You’ll get paid more for less stress

[snow raft]

Why is there even more than one or two locations that fire the remote event

Does the former programmer know about module scripts

If not let me put them on to some shit

[drifting quest]

what do you guys think about this?

[iron kraken]

if u use rojo u can search for the remote firing in vscode if they use the same name

[iron kraken]

the breaking is delayed

[spiral urchin]

is an old game, reworking stuff

[drifting quest]

idk how to fix that

[spiral urchin]

KAT, if you know

[iron kraken]

just break it on the client

[balmy zenith]

isnt it better cuz, debris "batches" destroying?
(source: trust me bro)

[iron kraken]

it will feel more satisfying

knife ability test

[snow raft]

Just get a part time job 😭

[drifting quest]

i'm not into coding actually i use some ai tools for coding and i need this destruction stuff only for some models. I guess u're right and i need to work this thing on client if its possible. I'll try

[snow raft]

Even if you worked 2 days a week 5 hours each you would make more than 400k a week

[balmy zenith]

DebrisGobbler is faster than task.delay on destruction because of optimizations that merge multiple parts to be destroyed in the same frame into a single node, whereas task.delay faces performance penalties from crossing from C to Lua for each destruction alongside managing all the other task scheduling in the game.

hmm
source: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/debrisgobbler-a-much-more-performant-alternative-to-debrisservice/2184366

[snow raft]

Yea and I was using it on models

Take that buddy. @tribal mango

[brave wave]

Guys as someone who is planning to start learning how to script can someone tell me WHY I can’t just vibe code and should learn how to code

[tribal mango]

There's not even task.delay here

[nocturne depot]

morals blud morals

[nocturne depot]

try vibe coding for one week and see what you can achieve with it by the end of the week

[snow raft]

Either way it was for a bug and was temporary

[balmy zenith]

?? there is

[snow raft]

I only sent that code cause it was the only I had on hand that was over 300 lines

[tribal mango]

Where

His code doesnt need it

[balmy zenith]

what?

[brave wave]

Bet

[tribal mango]

look at his code tardburgler

there's no delay

[soft hornet]

Robux?

[balmy zenith]

i aint even talking bout his module, just that shows task.delay being slower than debris

[tribal mango]

that wasnt even part of the question

who cares

it's marginal anyways

[balmy zenith]

true but youd only use debris when you got thousands of parts anyways

[spiral urchin]

yes

[snow raft]

When I’m destroying there is a delay

So the body can Randall

Rag doll

[tribal mango]

Get Torch to work in Roblox and then submit that instead

[soft hornet]

I’m new to scripting. What’s the point of position? For example(object.Position) I believe cframe can move in any direction and even better has rotational capabilities. Unless I misunderstood what I learnt.

[balmy zenith]

yeah its redundant but useful when you only want to modify the position so

[tribal mango]

function Tensor.permute(tensor, ...)
  local perm = {...}
  local nDims = tensor:dim()
  assert(#perm == nDims, 'Invalid permutation')
  local j
  for i, p in ipairs(perm) do
    if p ~= i and p ~= 0 then
      j = i
      repeat
        assert(0 < perm[j] and perm[j] <= nDims, 'Invalid permutation')
        tensor = tensor:transpose(j, perm[j])
        j, perm[j] = perm[j], 0
      until perm[j] == i
      perm[j] = j
    end
  end
  return tensor
end
torch.permute = Tensor.permute

   local metatable = torch.getmetatable('torch.' .. type .. 'Tensor')
   for funcname, func in pairs(Tensor) do

         rawset(metatable, funcname, func)
      else
         local function Tensor__totable(self)
            local host_tensor = self:float()
            return self:float():totable()
         end
         rawset(torch.getmetatable('torch.HalfTensor'), 'totable', Tensor__totable)
      end
   end
end

[snow raft]

[tribal mango]

@unkempt patrol needs it

[snow raft]

I swear I’ve seen that exact code so many times in this server

Who is this ?

Tensors in roblox are we doing material science or something

[soft hornet]

What is assert?

[balmy zenith]

error

[tribal mango]

Throws an error if the provided value is false or nil. If the assertion passes, it returns all values passed to it.

[balmy zenith]

if first arg is falsy

[snow raft]

It’s like an error

Instead of writing “if x is false then error” you just put the condition as the first parameter

[balmy zenith]

its probably too much overhead for functions that are called a million times tho imo

[balmy zenith]

this would be faster than assert

[snow raft]

@frail yarrow I still want to have that criticism on how I use tables

[snow raft]

Assert is one line though

[balmy zenith]

where, im curious

[snow raft]

It doesn’t matter

[snow raft]

Scroll

[balmy zenith]

does if youre tryna micro optimize

[snow raft]

I was like that once

[balmy zenith]

this?

[snow raft]

Then I stopped caring about superficial things

[snow raft]

Yea

[balmy zenith]

well micro optimization can be useful when youre tryna squeeze perf

[balmy zenith]

so how do you use tables

[snow raft]

Idk he just didn’t like the way I used them

[balmy zenith]

where the code? the screenshot?

proxy tables are diabolical

[snow raft]

Yea

I like proxy tables

[tribal mango]

yeah it's faster by about a ten thousandth of a second

[balmy zenith]

thats a lot when you do 100000 operations

[soft hornet]

When should I use waitforchild or findfirstchild? It seems smarter to just use waitforchild every time, no?

[iron kraken]

they are used for different things

[soft hornet]

Cus if the whatever don’t exist the script stops I can’t think of any case why you would want the script to keep going if whatever doesn’t exist right?

[balmy zenith]

when you dont wanna wait

[iron kraken]

waitforchild is mainly used if you know something will exist but may not exist at the time the script is running so u want to wait until it does exist

[balmy zenith]

ie when its time sensitive

[iron kraken]

such as a model at the start of the game

findfirstchild is for when something may or may not exist and u want to see if it exists

if you just use . u will get an error

[snow raft]

0.0001 is a lot of time

[rigid summit]

Hi guys I've just got into coding and wondering if anyone has any small scripting jobs I can do for small amounts of robux plz DM if so

[ancient halo]

Should I be using heart beat to make my timer?

[pulsar prawn]

how would yall suggest i learn scripting

ik a bit now but i wanna learn more

[ancient halo]

TRy recreating a system, and looking in to how it's done

[pulsar prawn]

ive done a bit of that but i feel like at the point im at there arent really any systems to recreate that arent overly complicated

[tepid musk]

heartbeat or PostSimulation, the latter updates faster

[ancient halo]

Yea

[tepid musk]

reverse engineer simple systems and try to make sense of it, that's how I taught myself

[pulsar prawn]

alr

[balmy zenith]

is post sim not same update rate as heartbeat

or is heartbeat the fps rate?

[tepid musk]

https://youtu.be/rTAWgk6N5dA?t=180

[tepid musk]

i wouldn't consider heartbeat to be the "fps" rate per se, I'd consider that to be Stepped, which is when physics is calculated

[balmy zenith]

like i think hearbeat runs at the physics rate, while pre render runs at render fps

[tepid musk]

holy shit the amount of errors is unbelievable

watch the video I sent, sleitnick does a much better job at explaining the priority

[strange kiln]

fucking dorks when you know a little bit less than them about a niche topic:

[tepid musk]

you good lmao?

[strange kiln]

no.

My brother was killed by a man with two left hands

[tepid musk]

anyways how do you guys delay your while loops?

[strange kiln]

task.wait()

[tepid musk]

task.wait is too slow for my use case

[strange kiln]

okay lol

[tepid musk]

lmao

[bronze path]

?..

[iron kraken]

renderstepped

or heartbeat

[tepid musk]

has to be a while loop

[iron kraken]

y?

[tepid musk]

I've tried if i % 5 == 0 then task.wait() end which is much faster, but not sure if that's a good rate

[tepid musk]

bacause runservice is too fast LMAO

[strange kiln]

just make a fork bomb to crash your game so that people can't tell you failed to code this thing

[balmy zenith]

ts dumb

[balmy zenith]

just time it using elapsed time

[tepid musk]

calling this a failure is a bit of a stretch, at best, it runs a few miliseconds slower than needed

[strange kiln]

this gives the same vibes as a reddit comment

[balmy zenith]

physics rate (heartbeat/postsim/presim) is probably the fastest you can go (without hacky workarounds)

[tepid musk]

not sure how that's true when timed waits is faster

[tepid musk]

^

[balmy zenith]

what?

[tepid musk]

in a while loop, timed waits is faster than task.wait, Heartbeat:Wait, etc

[balmy zenith]

what?

task.wait is legit heartbeat:wait

task.wait can only run as fast as the physics rate

which could be the fastest rate

[tepid musk]

this

local i = 0;

while true do
    if i == 10 then
        i = 0;
        task.wait();
    end;
    i += 1;
end;

that

while true do
    task.wait()
end;

[tepid musk]

this is faster

because you aren't waiting each loop

[balmy zenith]

yes but that runs all at once at the max speed

which is literally useless

[tepid musk]

what?

[balmy zenith]

it doesnt yield

[tepid musk]

mb meant to add the i= 0

nonetheless, it's faster, but im trying to see if there's a rule for timed waits

i guess most people just pick a random number and stick with it

[hasty mesa]

all runservice events run at fps

heartbeat is checked at each fps

[tepid musk]

no

[hasty mesa]

fym no

[tepid musk]

they're different for different uses lmao

[hasty mesa]

thats diffrent from my statement

[iron kraken]

u can add up the delta so it runs only after a certain amount of time has passed

[hasty mesa]

they still run at the rate of your fps

[tepid musk]

that's what I meant by "times waits"

[balmy zenith]

dont think thats true

[tepid musk]

that doesn't even make any sense, for example, roblox servers run at around 60fps

[hasty mesa]

yeah so stepped runs at 60 fps

and heartbeat runs at 60

if client fps is 240

renderstep runs at 240
