[hearty dome]

For the more experienced devs here. Is there any way to have deformable tiling meshes?

I read about editablemesh but I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for (especially because I'd probably need like 200k of them)

[solemn grail]

What?

[hearty dome]

Rails.

I need rails, freeform rails.

I need to be able to bend a mesh which would repeat

[solemn grail]

So, from my understanding, you want to bend one of the tiling meshes?

[hearty dome]

Ish? Are there tiling meshes even?

wrong everything

wrong channel wrong

just wrong everything

#marketplace-info

[solemn grail]

You can use skinned rigs for that instead of editablemeshes. They're easier to make + you can program the train to follow these bones and if it detects bend rails using bone cframe then the train will be derailed

I'm not sure how effective it is at performance tho

[hearty dome]

I won't be using cframe

for multiple reasons

It needs to have physics

[solemn grail]

Editablemeshes don't edit collisions for performance reasons

But I'm not sure about the skinned rigs, never used those.

[hearty dome]

The meshes are created in studio

After, they don't get modified

so they can just always have the same collision

[balmy zenith]

doesnt either

[balmy zenith]

what is mesh for?

like ocean?

[solemn grail]

Also if you need >200k rails, then you should replicate their appearances onto the client instead of the server, that way you'd reduce the server memory. This might be against your plan, but at least you'll get some performance on the server side

Basic unions will do so long as they don't exceed past your rails' vertices

[balmy zenith]

id use editable meshes if your rails are really dynamic

[balmy zenith]

note they dont have shadows nor collision

[solemn grail]

@balmy zenith

[hearty dome]

Don't editablemeshes have collisions??

Like, I'm editing them at build time - they remain static at runtime

[balmy zenith]

then use a rail segment and repeat along the curve

[hearty dome]

(The idea is to make an intuitive track building plugin)

[hearty dome]

Which was my original plan, but it has

a lot of issues

[balmy zenith]

i believe one already exists

[hearty dome]

Archimedes is not enough

[balmy zenith]

like?

[hearty dome]

Try to create a switch linking 2 existing rails :)

[balmy zenith]

no like theres plugins that put anything on a curve

[hearty dome]

which won't be gapfilled

[balmy zenith]

whats the issue with that

[hearty dome]

You can't

[balmy zenith]

why not

just make a hole at the intersection

[hearty dome]

Take two rails separated by an arbitrary amount of studs.

[solemn grail]

You want to utilize roblox's physics engine?

[hearty dome]

Yes, I've fixed most problems with it already

I have formulas for max speed on stuff, ways to deal with the janky physics

[safe wind]

You are not allowed to hire scripters here, please check #scripter-hirable to find scripters

[hearty dome]

(Mainly gapfilling so that the tiny holes don't trip the train)

[solemn grail]

Editablemeshes and skinned rigs wouldn't be useful as their collisions wouldn't change.

[hearty dome]

which I have solved already (made my own gapfill plugin)

[balmy zenith]

so whats the issue

[hearty dome]

Making a switch is still near impossible.

Really linking two existing rails is near impossible

Because it's not like you choose a start and end point.

[balmy zenith]

why

[orchid arch]

yall suck

[hearty dome]

?

[solemn grail]

Who the fuck are you supposed to be

[orchid arch]

someone thats better than you

[orchid arch]

u suck

[hearty dome]

ok bro

please leave then

[solemn grail]

Who, him ?

[orchid arch]

nope

why would i leave

[hearty dome]

Either of those scenarios is essentially impossible

to fill in

with just "place tracks with x angle repeatedly"

[orchid arch]

mad cause ur inferior to me

[hearty dome]

@woeful dune

[balmy zenith]

you place it on a curve

[solemn grail]

And yet you still live under Israeli regime

[balmy zenith]

place rail segments along a curve

[orchid arch]

no amount of moderation is changing the fact

[orchid arch]

far from it

[hearty dome]

I really don't care I'm just trying to get help here

[orchid arch]

when you say something atleast be correct

otherwise you look like a dumbass

[hearty dome]

Yeah, that was my second solution, but then I need to do an absurd amount of gapfilling, and then I run into the sleepers issue:

[balmy zenith]

is this a plugin for in use in studio only?

if so then just use an editable mesh

although

not sure how good roblox collision will be with meshes

[orchid arch]

#code-help

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1322562540550754354/1427380773530505319/togif.gif

[hearty dome]

Yes

I've been saying this from the beginning

[hearty dome]

The little things in the middle

sleepers. I can't exactly neatly gapfill with those in mind.

[safe wind]

bypassing, really?

[balmy zenith]

then use an editable mesh?

[solemn grail]

An eye for an eye

[orchid arch]

mad cause he sucks

[orchid arch]

except saying "yall suck" isnt a bypass

[hearty dome]

also editablemeshes seem to have collisions

[orchid arch]

mad cuz bad

billy badass over here

[balmy zenith]

it has collisions, not live collision, collision is calculated once when doing CreateMeshPart

you can convert an editable mesh into a meshpart which is normal

i believe

[dusky rapids]

does high recv mean build issues? or script issues? im getting 120 receive rn

[balmy zenith]

can be anything

[dusky rapids]

when i removed my scripts, still have a high receive. so safe to say its build issues?

also does high receive cause lag?

[balmy zenith]

lag as in latency yes, not fps

[hearty dome]

Which I thought as well yeah

[viral kestrel]

what seems to be the problem here?

local DataStores = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local PlayerStore = DataStores:GetDataStore("PlayerStore")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    
    local coins = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
    coins.Name = "Coins"
    coins.Value = 0

    
    local success, data = pcall(function()
        return PlayerStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
    end)
    
    if success and data then
        coins.Value = data.PlayerData.Coins
    end
    
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    local success, errorMsg = pcall(function()
        local PlayerData = {
            Coins = player.leaderstats.Coins.Value
        }
        
        PlayerStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, PlayerData)
    end)
end)

when i run it it says ServerScriptService.PlayerStats:18: attempt to index nil with 'Coins'

[craggy steeple]

print data and check urself

[somber vault]

data.PlayerData is nil

[native oyster]

guys how to make commands

[shy dock]

how would i go about making my torso and limbs lag behind my camera position so my head is in front of them but still aligned with the camera

[graceful nymph]

in a top-down 2d game how can the character be coded to be covered by a tree when they walk behind it but cover the tree when they walk infront of it

[vast gazelle]

I don’t think your code accounts for when the player joins for the first time

[viral kestrel]

idk i'm new at this

[vast gazelle]

Basically your code expects there to be a “coins” variable in the database

But there isn’t

Check out a tutorial

Ideally you should learn profile store or profile service (I forgot which one is the newest)

[vagrant viper]

Is it bad to use the OnClientInvoke function thingy when using remote functions?

Cos it means exploiters can get to your code?

[vast gazelle]

Ive never used a remote function

Mind telling why you’re using a remote function? I’ve never had a scenario where i couldn’t use something else

[vagrant viper]

Oh, at the moment I'm just learning scripting and was curious why

[vast gazelle]

Ah alr

[vagrant viper]

Apparently you use them for stuff such as passwords etc in your game im not too sure

[vast gazelle]

I honestly don’t even remember exactly what they’re for

[vast gazelle]

Also no, it shouldn’t be unsafe as long as you have proper checks on server side

Same with remote events

[vagrant viper]

Ok thanks I was just wondering, good to know they're not that important tho cos I don't fully understand them tbh lol

[vast gazelle]

Alr

[misty lotus]

anyone elses plugins wont load?

[foggy fiber]

Bro 💀💀🙏

No limit

It's 10.thousand my bad

[thorn lark]

D

[foggy burrow]

How do you plan to verify if the player can use that skill?

Either way your still going to have to cross the server boundary to fire all clients

[wise turtle]

it would ensure that animations are synced across all clients

and also consolidate states to be server authoritative

which is important for parry based combat

[foggy burrow]

Nah

Animations shouldn’t be handled on the server

Animations already replicate to all the players meaning they are already synced

Though if you want to be further secure you could load the animations on a player on all the clients

[wise turtle]

they aren't synced though

because if you play an animation on ur client you would see it first before roblox replicates it to the other clients due to latency

[foggy burrow]

Player 1 does a skill (plays anim on their client)
Player 2 loads the anim on player 1 cliently
Player 3 loads the anim on player 1 cliently

[wise turtle]

thats not relying on roblox's animation replication

[foggy burrow]

You would have to create an animation handler to do this

[foggy burrow]

I know

[wise turtle]

thats doing it on the client and binding to another client's animator

[foggy burrow]

That’s why I said you can further improve those by loading animations on the player cliently

[wise turtle]

playing an animation on the server does basically that at the cost of a little overhead

[foggy burrow]

That way if player 1 is lagging

Player 2 will see the animation perfectly fine

[foggy burrow]

Sure but it’s just like tweening on the server

[wise turtle]

its not

[foggy burrow]

It’s not recommended

[wise turtle]

because it would fireallclients internally to play it

tweening on the server actually tweens it on the server

[foggy burrow]

No im talking about recommending

Most people agree that animations should be a client sided thing

Now if you think that the server works better for your use case

[crude wave]

L I G M A

[foggy burrow]

I just don’t know why you need animations to be server authoritative

[wise turtle]

i need combat to be server authoritative

so im not going to put extra effort into syncing animations and doign them on the client if theres basically no benefit to user experience

[foggy burrow]

I mean alr

Do you fire to the clients to do VFX?

When an animation event gets fired

[wise turtle]

yes

[foggy burrow]

Each time the aim event gets fired?

[wise turtle]

i fire to the clients when the hitbox has processed

[foggy burrow]

Yeah but let’s say your using a skill

That chargers

And you have a charge anim event

When that anim event

Get fired to you fire to the all clients to apply the VFX?

[wise turtle]

yes

[foggy burrow]

Yeah that’s not a good way to do it imo

They way I do it is now that all the clients load the animation on the player who started the skill

Those clients can listen to the animation event

And apply the VFX on their client without ever firing to the server

It saves so much remotes going back and fourth

[wise turtle]

its pretty negligible performance

[foggy burrow]

Trust me it’s not

[wise turtle]

the only thing ur method solves is the rare case where vfx packets are dropped

[foggy burrow]

I used to have it the way your doing it

[foggy burrow]

Just fighting 1v1 after a while

Into a 15 player server or something the amount of remotes would start to have a noticeable affect

It also depends how many skills you have

If each skill only had 1 remote then yeah I doubt it would have a noticeable difference

It if you have 7 skills each with 5 remotes that’s 35 remotes firing throughout the game

[wise turtle]

99% of skills have 1 remote

[foggy burrow]

Ah Alr then yeah

My skills would have 3-4

That’s why I changed it

[wise turtle]

most of my skills are like invisible

or just a combat animation

because its a star wars game

[eternal kindle]

can someone tell me how to open the toolbar in this new bad ui 💀

[copper vigil]

guys is it possible to make Roblox cursor invisible?

i have a custom cursor module yet my only issue is the Roblox cursor being above it regardless of the custom cursor ZIndex being very high

[eternal kindle]

i know its pretty much possible

[copper vigil]

do u know the way?

[eternal kindle]

yes

dont u make the mouse cursor icon your icon in client-side script?

[copper vigil]

I do not

since

I want the cursor to be able to change colors

I make a screengui in which I position it to where the mouse is etc

if I made the cursor icon the custom cursor I wouldn’t be able to change the size, color, etc

@eternal kindle

[eternal kindle]

hmm

let me see in a quick script

[copper vigil]

u want to see my script?

[eternal kindle]

no no

[copper vigil]

ok

[eternal kindle]

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UIS.MouseIconEnabled = false

this will make the mouse invisible

the default one

[copper vigil]

tried that my mouse icon wouldn’t get disabled

I can show my script to further help

I also tried setting my mouse icon to nothing

[eternal kindle]

yeash do it in my dms. This channel isnt for code help

[copper vigil]

yes

[humble portal]

does anyone know how games like tsb and azure altch have "zero delay"?

[hearty dome]

Elaboate

It's probably optimistic prediction but elaborate

[humble portal]

like even if i have 150ms of ping, all my actions will come out basically instantly

and even on azure latch if i have like 200ms of ping i can kick the ball and the physics are smooth and everything is synced up perfectly

[wise turtle]

this is not true in TSB because they have input delay

[humble portal]

tsb has a really small delay based on ping

same thing based on azure latch, but like how do they accomplish this? normal remote events in roblox studio have a delay because of ping

[wise turtle]

thats just because input delay is rarely noticeable unless u have very high ping

[wise turtle]

idk about azure latch

prob some sort of client prediction

[humble portal]

what

[wise turtle]

server authoritiative ball system with the client synced to it via prediction

[humble portal]

ah ok that makes a bit more sense

how would it be implemented tho?

[wise turtle]

you just accelerate it so that it can catch up to the actual simulation

[humble portal]

what about the things like velocities from doing things like dahses? i would assume those are on the client

[wise turtle]

yes

[humble portal]

how would they be verifed if theyre on the client

like whats stopping a hacker from just making their dash go 3x as fast as a normal dash

[wise turtle]

thats possible in any game because movement is client authoritative

nothings stopping them really

[humble portal]

oh ok i thought there would be some weird extra element thank you

how would it work for other clients tho? in azure latch when someone kicks the ball it looks almost instant

[wise turtle]

assuming animations are synced they can just run the same logic

[humble portal]

hm ok thank you ill look into this

like where is it displayed

i don't see thumbnails on roblox anymore

like you know the old ADs

that were on the sides

[tawdry turtle]

it shows the thumbnail of your game now u dont have to make a seprate icon now

how do i save a value from playergui when player is leaving if it says not found player gui

ping me when answer is found im going in ultrakill

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Character = script.Parent :: Model

    local goal = CFrame.new(HRP.Position) * Camera.CFrame.Rotation
    HRP.CFrame = current:Lerp(goal, 1 - 0.1 ^ dt)
end)
``` idk

[civic garnet]

make it found

[hidden dune]

ok that doesn't help

sorry

sorry again

[civic garnet]

why r u grabbing values from playergui to save anyways

[hidden dune]

because i need to

[civic garnet]

to what

editing values from playergui as state isnt a valid method

id have a cache on the server with the player's state and edit that

you should also sync it to the client so the client can read from it

[hidden dune]

what

im not doing it in client

im only using server

[civic garnet]

why do you even put the values in playergui anyways

put it in the player instead

or literally make a dictionary with player state

[wicked moss]

if I wanna make a skateboard feel like your driving a skateboard would it be smart to use roblox vehicle seat
or should I script my own controller if the latter then any ideas where to start?

[hidden dune]

because i need to

dude

is there any way to get values in player gui or no

when plr is leaving

js say

[civic garnet]

local PlayerStates = {}

function PlayerAdded(player)
  local Data = GetData(player)

  PlayerStates[player] = Data or DataTemplate
end

function PlayerRemoved(Player)
  local Data = PlayerStates[Player]

  Save(Data or DataTemplate)
end

bindable Get Data(player)
  return PlayerStates[player)
end

[civic garnet]

no, your method isbs

[hidden dune]

what does isbs even mean

[civic garnet]

its ass

it does not work

its shit

[hidden dune]

oh ok

why wouldnt it work

why does roblox destroy the values

when player pressed the button

leave button

immediatly

[civic garnet]

literally just parent the values to the player like leaderstats or have a variable with all player states you can edit/update and shit

[hidden dune]

alr

[tired remnant]

If you’re playing animations on the player’s character, you should do it on the client. You get more information and decrease server load

[topaz crypt]

But eventually server replication will make it look buggy

[topaz crypt]

If u are doing animations with animation markers for fx do it client side

[gilded dagger]

And the main hotboxes n stuff are server

[balmy zenith]

how would you read/write a buffer like a dict

BufferUtil.read(someBuffer, "key", schema)
BuffeeUtil.write(someBuffer, "key", schema, value)

will prolly work but like no types :(
is there a good way to do this but with types?

[hasty mesa]

you don't

you convert the whole thing from a buffer to a dict

[faint smelt]

would a proxy dict work

[balmy zenith]

uhhhhh i dont really wanna uncompress like 100 dicts

[balmy zenith]

wym

[faint smelt]

a dictionary that points keys to buffer indices & types

unless im misunderstanding

[balmy zenith]

that is what the schema is for, specifying the format to read/write in

but i still get no types

unless theres a way to do like

typeof(schema[key])

which might work?

[faint smelt]

oh I see, my bad

[balmy zenith]

actually it wont, cuz value isnt of the type

schema would be like
{
Key = {0, "u8", 1} -- bit index, type, primitive
}

hmm

[balmy zenith]

ngl, this is prolly worth since just the schema alone is probably same size as an decoded buffer
so i just convert to buffer and throw out schema

[balmy zenith]

although this assumes 1 schema only maps to 1 buffer

🤔

[hasty mesa]

how do you know where a key is

[balmy zenith]

in the buffer?

schema should store bit index

[hasty mesa]

so its a struct

not a map

[balmy zenith]

erm

idk what that means

[hasty mesa]

a map is dynamic and can have any keys

[balmy zenith]

yes its a fixed layout

[hasty mesa]

a struct needs to have its keys already defined

[balmy zenith]

static size, static keys, not static values

[idle musk]

if an action is server authoritative

it's fine

but if it's something like movement trigger it client side

[balmy zenith]

guh

the type should be automatically correct right? im dumb

cuz function would need to detect which type to parse as

then return said value

maybe

or i should throw out types

what if the schema was also a buffer..

erm

[faint smelt]

perhaps buffers aren't the way to go here...

Just Sayin

[balmy zenith]

rm

want buffers

[coral tulip]

exuse me?

[dry sparrow]

What did it say

[cloud brook]

example?

[shy dock]

ill try this when i get home

[shy dock]

i fixed it myself

its because of the fraction of a second between the humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait() and the loop starting again

i just made it check if the waypoint is within 3 studs of a hitbox part i anchored to the humanoidrootpart placed near the feet

which fixed another problem i had where the npc would get stuck when jumping over an obstacle

[coral tulip]

cant remember exactly but they where talking abt ai

using ai for code

[shy dock]

chatgpt is so shit at coding

[coral tulip]

ong bro

ive used it like 2 times before

'and it was so trash

[shy dock]

ive tried to use it to make stuff when i was a little learner and oml now im looking back and it would make 30 lines of code into some crap 80 line pile of spaghetti

[coral tulip]

real idk how to script it yet but im pretty sure it was way to many lines i asked it to make a gun and it gave me 130 lines of code

[shy dock]

a month ago i tried to get it to fix smth and it gave me such a bad fix, i ended up fixing it myself like 30 minutes after and it was like 3 times better

[shy dock]

thats not bas

bad

[coral tulip]

oh lol

[shy dock]

depends how advanced it is

[coral tulip]

ehhh kinda mid

[shy dock]

does it have like bullet tracers and recoil

[coral tulip]

no

[shy dock]

otherwise 120 lines is ridiculous

lmao

[coral tulip]

ai so buns bro

[balmy zenith]

do you use connections or a loop

[shy dock]

was it just click and if the hit of the mouse is an npc then damage it

[shy dock]

depends

[coral tulip]

yea

[shy dock]

i rarely use connections but normally i find a way to fix my code without loops or anything

im starting to use task.spawn and cancel

[balmy zenith]

should use connections movetofinished and blocked like this https://create.roblox.com/docs/characters/pathfinding

[shy dock]

but i normally find some other way to do it

[balmy zenith]

loops cause issues, you shouldnt loop over the waypoints

[shy dock]

oh

it was smth else

what i was talking about earlier

but ill still try to use connections

so i cant do a for loop going through each waypoint

interesting. how come?

[balmy zenith]

it just causes issues, i dont remember how

[shy dock]

i see

[balmy zenith]

i think its just like hard to break out of

since you may have multiple of the loops running, and thats an issue

connections make sure you only move along 1 path

[shy dock]

alright thanks for helping

im gonna use connections when i get home and hopefully it goes well

[coral tulip]

yea i js asked ai to make a gun and it has 255 lines of code and has ammo, sound and muzzle flash

[quartz obsidian]

skid

[coral tulip]

?

i was just proving ai is terrible

[quartz obsidian]

ok

[sturdy horizon]

Shirou day

[shy dock]

lmao

[sly plover]

sometimes when I play an animation it can cause jumping to like push backwards

its weird to explain

like walking backwards and jumping

causes like some fling/push back

player gains some weird velocity

[blazing leaf]

#animation

[copper frost]

any scripter here that can work for %? game is 60% done

[shy dock]

oml roblox is down for me

frick these servers

[copper frost]

i think its down for everyone fn

where ur from?

[shy dock]

australia

[copper frost]

iran banned roblox i think

[shy dock]

that was ages ago

[copper frost]

oh

[summer aurora]

daily reminder for everyone to thank their scripts by using this

while script do
print("thanks for working")
end

[copper frost]

can you?

[shy dock]

these 3 lines of code prevented my script from taking over earth thank you

[copper frost]

can anyone

[shy dock]

yeah roblox is down for everyone rn

damn thats annoying

[copper frost]

steal a food

[balmy zenith]

could a custom 3d physics engine in roblox be faster than roblox's physics engine?
the custom physics would only need to have simple OBB, Sphere, etc rigidbodies

[compact spoke]

probably yeah

depends on how you go about doing it

roblox has a lot going on in its physics though

which is why it can slow down a lot

custom solutions can be better cuz you can have actual deterministic physics

which roblox does not have

[balmy zenith]

just need some boxes to collide, context is like a factory with conveyers

[compact spoke]

yeah it would be faster then

just remember that no matter what the main bottleneck is always going to be actually moving the parts

may that be through bulkmoveto or some other strange method like bones which i hear are really efficent

[balmy zenith]

prolly gotta cull the visuals

[lean ocean]

what is this advertisement

[dusky relic]

bro just sent the most dogshit code

[autumn obsidian]

handled

thank you ❤️

[crude wave]

yooo who on rn

[karmic plank]

me

[crude wave]

😉

[lean ocean]

do 1, 1e834

[crude wave]

need to see ur reactions and check the print

how about this

[shut ridge]

Bro Use exponent

[flint forge]

perfect

[crude wave]

bro i am new

[crude wave]

i tested it and it crashed🙏

[flint forge]

very unexpected

[shut ridge]

Use exponent in the feature

[crude wave]

lol fr

[shut ridge]

Lol it. Hurts me

[crude wave]

what is it

[shut ridge]

Do you even learned it in math in school?

[crude wave]

yep

[shut ridge]

Power/Exponent

[crude wave]

oh yeah

[shut ridge]

It is the same as here

[crude wave]

i learned it as power only lol

[shut geyser]

Does anyone know stuff that'll look good on portfolios?

[shut ridge]

Lol

[crude wave]

stuff

[shut geyser]

Makes sense

[flint forge]

VFX is good for posting on Twitter ig

or physics experiments, like cloth physics and so on

[crude wave]

isn't this scirpting

[shut geyser]

To be honest I don't realy like twitter and never got good results from twitter either. No one would ever follow me

[crude wave]

everyone would follow * if we new

knew

[shut geyser]

I also don't understand why anyone would follow me.

Posts of progress on my game? who cares

[crude wave]

doge

[flint forge]

If you post interesting stuff people will follow you

[crude wave]

https://tenor.com/view/subaru-gif-2266977220034669417

[crude wave]

basically the point of gamemaking

[shut geyser]

hm

my games all look pretty boring to be honest
(Maybe because they're all 1 week into development)

[crude wave]

don't tell me its damn brainrot

[shut geyser]

No lol

I don't watch tiktok/youtube shorts/instagram

[crude wave]

alright

[shut geyser]

Let me show you a WIP game of mine(currently in development, 0.5 weeks old)

[crude wave]

if u did please don't check the instagram comments 🙏

[shut geyser]

So we got cables that are made up of single segments and some ports

Gonna be a game about hosting and managing servers/websites

[crude wave]

thats boring as hell

[shut geyser]

In-game coding is also gonna be a thing.
We will try to also implement real-life networking stuff

Well we will try to add a gameloop

[warm hedge]

local function AlignModel(deltaTime: number): ()
        local Pivot = Instances.Player.Character:GetPivot()
        local MidFoward, TotalFoward = 0, 0
        local MidRight, TotalRight = 0, 0
        for _, SideVector in FowardSide do
            local RaycastResult = workspace:Raycast(rootPart.Position + (rootPart.CFrame.LookVector * SideVector), rootPart.CFrame.UpVector * -RAY_LENGTH, AlignVariables.RayCastPara)
            if not RaycastResult then continue end

            if OldNormal ~= RaycastResult.Normal then
                OldNormal = RaycastResult.Normal
                alpha = 0
            end

            TotalFoward += 1
            MidFoward += RaycastResult.Normal:Dot(Pivot.LookVector)
        end

        for _, SideVector in RightSide do
            local RaycastResult = workspace:Raycast(rootPart.Position + (rootPart.CFrame.LookVector * SideVector), rootPart.CFrame.UpVector * -RAY_LENGTH, AlignVariables.RayCastPara)
            if not RaycastResult then continue end
            TotalRight += 1
            MidRight += RaycastResult.Normal:Dot(Pivot.RightVector)
        end

        
        local NormalAngle = CFrame.Angles(-(MidFoward / TotalFoward), 0, -(MidRight / TotalRight))
        

        RotationMotor6d.C0 = DefaltC0 * NormalAngle 

    end

Can anyone tell me why in this code, the more the ramp is inclined, the more I sink into the ground? I'm manipulating Motor6D linked to the character's rotation, but I think there's code missing to compensate for the sinking, but I don't know where to start

[shut geyser]

pastebin exists ^

My friend and me primarely

and people who realy like details and realistic networks

Yeah....

We didn't want to use unity/godot since it would be too annyoing and we both'd have to learn it from the start

no

on roblox or external software?

I mean that's cool but that's not realy a game

[blazing leaf]

'''lua

[sharp drum]

dawg

[somber vault]

So you are making a game about the worst part of programming shit

[cunning garnet]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1115639685822300222/1429053646422806609/togif.gif

[hidden dune]

table.find(tablfind, {skin.Name, survframe.Name})
tablfind has the {skin.Name, survframe.Name}
as [1] = {skin.Name, survframe.Name}
it returns nil what do i do

[somber vault]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1115639685822300222/1429053646422806609/togif.gif

[hidden dune]

what

[somber vault]

Holy syntax

Table.find find a value you are inputing

[hidden dune]

ok someone told me the solution

other

[somber vault]

Nice

[hidden dune]

thanks anyway

sorry for wasting ur time

[somber vault]

Nah you good its like 2 seconds lol

[shut geyser]

yeah not rly, it's pretty fun. Especially if everything is not as complicated but still realistic. Expanding will also be easier hopefully

[maiden pine]

This gif is amazing lol

[brazen plume]

Why when I launch the game the UI is shifted

[shut geyser]

Did you use offset instead of relative size?

[brazen plume]

?

[shut geyser]

Show me the size of the shifted element

and position

[shut geyser]

Send me a pic of the size and position of the shifted things

[brazen plume]

Ok

[modern seal]

is thss real

[solid latch]

btw this wouldnt even get on the front page even with 5M usd of funding

so i hope this is just a passion project

[shut geyser]

I know

I'm doing this for fun

Me and another friend realy like details and both have irl servers so we thought we'd make this just for fun.

[summer cove]

Since it's been a lil while since I coded I just made this small AOE thing in like half a hour for fun

[brittle token]

tweens or moon animator

[summer cove]

Tween but I don’t plan on keeping it on server just testing purposes

[uneven jolt]

Does anyone know why KeyframeReached isint working?

[jovial crown]

those games exist on steam wrong auditory on roblox

[shut geyser]

It's a passion project

[jovial crown]

who is gonna pay on the servers?

[shut geyser]

wdym pay? If I need robux I'm gonna do comissions or make a cashgrab game

[jovial crown]

servers

how u gotta implement the coding?

w out servers

[shut geyser]

Ohhh

Servers only work when the person is online. But the website can still be accessed and the data will also be stored.

It's gonna be complex

If that doesn't work then I'm using my personal server

[jovial crown]

website requires severs

[shut geyser]

My god this is in roblox....

The servers are free

[jovial crown]

gl On saving all the Data

[shut geyser]

Thanks

[balmy zenith]

whats he doing?

[shut geyser]

game about hosting/managing servers/websites on roblox

[balmy zenith]

um

how would you host a website on roblox..

[shut geyser]

Datastores?

[balmy zenith]

the roblox server would need to be up at all times

[shut geyser]

No?

[balmy zenith]

yes?

how else will the website stay up

[shut geyser]

The servers will be run on the server the accesser is on

for the time that he's on that site

[balmy zenith]

but you cannot remotely start up a roblox server without joining it

besides, how will you communicate to the roblox server from outside?

[shut geyser]

oh now i get what you think

literally

websites on roblox

not accessable from everywhere

[balmy zenith]

so inside roblox?

[shut geyser]

bruh

ofc

[balmy zenith]

so it wouldnt really be a website

[shut geyser]

it would?

[balmy zenith]

so just a webpage on roblox?

[shut geyser]

websites yes

[balmy zenith]

you cant visit it from the internet so like

as in google

[shut geyser]

just not accessible from WWW

[balmy zenith]

yeah

[shut geyser]

accessible in Roblox

[balmy zenith]

anyone could make a website?

[shut geyser]

?

[balmy zenith]

like would anyone be able to make one in the game

[shut geyser]

if they would be invested enough then yes

[barren tundra]

how do i define the type of this table to be {any}
Trading_Client.InTradeConnections = {}

in a module

[balmy zenith]

:: {any} cast it

[barren tundra]

yeah i tried that but it doesnt solve my problem

[balmy zenith]

elaborate

[barren tundra]

later on i do this

table.insert(self.InTradeConnections,
TradeOfferItemTogglePacket.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(action: string, item: Item, yourAction: boolean)
self:HandleDisplayItemToggle(action, item, yourAction)
end)
)

and the strict mode complains saying its not the same type

[balmy zenith]

is this located in the constructor

[balmy zenith]

what does it say exactly, whats the other type?

[barren tundra]

no in the module itself

[balmy zenith]

in the .new?

[barren tundra]

type 'connection<any,any,any> could not be converted to rbxscriptconnection

[barren tundra]

out of everything, simply just in the script

[balmy zenith]

is the packet thing a roblox remote event?

[balmy zenith]

then why are you using self?

[barren tundra]

wdym

[barren tundra]

yeah kinda

[balmy zenith]

if its in global scope, how is it in self

[barren tundra]

helps communicate between server and client

[balmy zenith]

is it custom, or roblox's

[barren tundra]

what code where you talking about? the table define? or the table.insert?

the table.insert is of course in a method

[balmy zenith]

self.InTradeConnections?

why are you using self here

when you set the InTradeConnections in global scope

[barren tundra]

what am i supposed to use then

[balmy zenith]

Trading_Client.InTradeConnections this?

[barren tundra]

oh shit

im stupid

thanks

    local elapsed = 0
    local originalCFrame = rootPart.CFrame

    for index, currentFrame in rootMotionData do
        if index == #rootMotionData then
            break
        end

        local nextFrame = rootMotionData[index + 1]

        while true do

            local offset = currentFrame.cFrame:Lerp(nextFrame.cFrame, alpha)

            rootPart.CFrame = originalCFrame * offset

            elapsed += task.wait()
        end
    end
end
``` anyway to improve or nah

[somber vault]

already tried,

[smoky pecan]

yea

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

type MotionFrame = {
time: number,
cFrame: CFrame
}

local rootMotionData: {MotionFrame} = {
{time = 0, cFrame = CFrame.new()},
{time = 1, cFrame = CFrame.new(0,1,0)},
{time = 2, cFrame = CFrame.new(0,2,0)}
}

local function rootMotion()
local character = CharacterHandler.get()
if not character then return end

local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") :: BasePart
if not rootMotionData or #rootMotionData < 2 then return end

local elapsed = 0
local originalCFrame = rootPart.CFrame
local motionCount = #rootMotionData

for index = 1, motionCount - 1 do
    local currentFrame = rootMotionData[index]
    local nextFrame = rootMotionData[index + 1]

    while elapsed < nextFrame.time do
        local alpha = (elapsed - currentFrame.time) / (nextFrame.time - currentFrame.time)
        local offset = currentFrame.cFrame:Lerp(nextFrame.cFrame, alpha)

        rootPart.CFrame = originalCFrame * offset

        elapsed += RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
    end
end

end

rootMotion()

this much better

[tired violet]

yea i was also contemplating using runservice

ok thanks, ill do that instead

[tired violet]

also how did u know i also used MotionFrame for my types, or u just coincidentally used that aswell

[smoky pecan]

i made it up didnt know u used it, coincidence ig lol

[smoky pecan]

np

[tired violet]

lmfao

oh yeah, i guess ill change the for loop too

checking # each time is probably slower

its kinda preference but i like my conditions within the while loop too. unless theres a performance thing im unaware about, probably negligible if there is? lmk though

[compact spoke]

is there any reason why you're not using runservice for this

[tired violet]

no reason

task.wait was just faster and came to mind at the moment

not faster, but faster to type

[smoky pecan]

yea if u like it then use it its ur way

[compact spoke]

i mean we're talking like such minimal improvement that it doesn't really matter how fast it is

[mystic belfry]

Yo

[compact spoke]

any gain you might get from using runservice is going to mean nothing since setting the cframe takes like orders of magnitude longer anyways

[tired violet]

gain is gain ig

[compact spoke]

lll

i'm not an optimization dev so idgaf

some people get crazy over stuff like that

[tired violet]

fair and true

Who wanna be my friend

[proven cosmos]

my first ever go at a Sprint/Stamina script, I'm still a beginner, thoughts?

[iron kraken]

good

👍

[proven cosmos]

thanks 👍

[strong inlet]

nice

[deep ermine]

benefits of using RunService.Heartbeat over while task.wait() do?

[iron kraken]

heartbeat always runs after physics
task.wait i think is more varied in timing i think

[hasty mesa]

task.wait runs after physics as well

they are pretty much the exact timing

after stepped is task.wait() then heartbeat

[iron kraken]

👍

anyone wanna help me with coloring system in my fashion game ill pay afterhead

[vernal peak]

my sprint animation looks weird. Is that my fault or the animators? is there any way I can make it look smoother with scripts?

[topaz crypt]

Show it

[vernal peak]

https://medal.tv/games/roblox-studio/clips/lllP0UfiDyghrM8lx?invite=cr-MSx6R2ssNDU4MzU4MTg5

[topaz crypt]

The animation is quite ass ngl

[vernal peak]

so its not my fault?

[topaz crypt]

Nah all u did was set walkspeed up right?

[vernal peak]

yeah

[topaz crypt]

Naw its not ur fault the animation just needs to be better

[vernal peak]

oh alr tysm i thought there was like some secert shit people right to make anims look better

[remote bear]

not sure why its saying it reached the buffer size limit when i = 29997 while the totalScreenInfo is 30000

[balmy zenith]

probably because you start at 0

you have 1 extra value

also why use a string?

thats just a waste

use actual uint8s

[remote bear]

yeah buffers usually need one more byte but even if i increase the buffer size by one it still doesn't work

[remote bear]

because color hexes are strings

[thin torrent]

good 👍

[balmy zenith]

then dont use color strings and encode as 3 uint8s?

[balmy zenith]

does to hex return a #, i forgor
edit: no

[balmy zenith]

also it accepts bit offsets, not byte offsets

so you gotta do i*8

[balmy zenith]

• if you wanna fill entire thing use .fill
  but id guess you also wanna do other things than fill all

[balmy zenith]

also info per px would be 6 bytes as a character is 1 byte
and this is why using hex is inefficient because 1 character maps to 4 bits but stored as 8 bits

[remote bear]

it works now all i had to do was increase the buffer size by three more bytes and decrease the loop amnt by three bytes to match the 0 based index

[remote bear]

hex is three bytes

[balmy zenith]

the data it stores yes

but hex is 6 characters, each character is 1 byte

so you are wasting half your storage

stored as 6 characters = 6 bytes
hex data is only 3 bytes, so you wasted 3 bytes for nothing

[remote bear]

what would you say the alternative is if i wanted to use and store hexes to be used in fast secession without using alot of memory

[balmy zenith]

by not using hexes

why would you use hexes

[remote bear]

for richtext since it uses 5 less bytes then rgb

[wintry dock]

Anyone know what fighting systems usually cost to get made?

[patent sonnet]

is anyone else having trouble opening rbxl files

[haughty vortex]

thats actually pretty cool

[vernal peak]

what this for?

[balmy zenith]

he probably means uses less characters

[balmy zenith]

just store as rgb then convert to hex when using it

[chilly stratus]

I've been trying to learn scripting but I honestly don't know where to start. Any recommendations or fundamentals that I should learn?

Hey does anyone know if the 200 Lines of Code can be split in multiple Scripts (For the Scripter Skill Roll)

Ofcourse it needs to be working together in one System.

[wintry totem]

you can ask in staff help =] I don't have that role, or i could help you.

[wheat herald]

OK thx

[lean ocean]

no

[wheat herald]

So it needs to be in one Script only?

[lean ocean]

Yes

[wheat herald]

OK thx

[loud bridge]

luau isnt programming

💔

[smoky pecan]

Give me 3-2 months Im done with learning and im advanced

rn imm beggninger know all the basics

[balmy zenith]

3 months to advanced.. woww

[fast temple]

yea sure

[hasty star]

i made a little thing but every time it walks the animation glitches and restarts?
anyways to fix

[strong fog]

how much time takes to get on home reccomendations?

[hasty star]

?

[strong fog]

how much time takes to get game on home reccomendations (algorithms)

[hasty star]

no idea bro

[topaz crypt]

It depends on the code

[hasty star]

skidding?

[grave zenith]

hi

[turbid quest]

wsp

[grave zenith]

so what services u need

[turbid quest]

uhh i dont understand where you place scripts, local scripts and module scripts and for what purpose

[grave zenith]

oh gosh

[turbid quest]

and the wiki aint helping😭

[grave zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/we-are-so-cooked-gif-11199807318849761981

I can't explain bro

this is type of things u understand in time

[turbid quest]

😭

[grave zenith]

took me like idk 1 year to understand

but u can learn in 1 month if u are 100% focused on understanding instances & services

it's like going in a surgery and asking the guy each tools and there functions @turbid quest

[turbid quest]

😭

[grave zenith]

@turbid quest if I can help I can send u what u need to learn for NOW

Services

• workspace
• replicated storage & first
• Players
• Starters (gui, character, packs, players etc...)
• server storage
• server script service

@turbid quest

[turbid quest]

thanks ill ss it for later

where did you learn them?

[grave zenith]

and when u learnt thoses u can do

• Debris
• Runservice
• Lighting
• Marketplace
• SoundsService
• TextChat

[raven oasis]

Chatgpt is the BEST tool

[grave zenith]

no idea

ppl explained me I think

[turbid quest]

debris is literally how objects break?

[raven oasis]

I lied chatgpt isn't helpful at times

[grave zenith]

nah it's to delete things properly

[turbid quest]

so memory garbage collection?

[grave zenith]

also look at this video that I wish I seen before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng1uYpFcpOA

[turbid quest]

thanks👍

[grave zenith]

I'm not joking, this video you have to see it before learning services

even some experienced developers don't know about this

[smoky pecan]

im not watching roblox studio website trust me i got a youtube with alllll episodes u need to know

[balmy zenith]

still aint no way you advanced at scripting in 3 months

[grave zenith]

ye

[balmy zenith]

tutorials mean nothing except for the first week or two

[grave zenith]

find me a tutorial that explains a public library expect for popular one such as profile store

[balmy zenith]

thats just stupid

tutorials in general are stupid

[grave zenith]

@smoky pecan if u want to become advanced u need to read things like this: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/replicate-your-states-with-replicaservice-networking-system/894736
not tutorials

[balmy zenith]

knowing libraries does not make you advanced

knowledge does

[grave zenith]

understanding does

but yeah not making u 100% advanced by reading

this is just theorical

[quartz wing]

i was working in studio n i found some weird stuff, soo i have a simple server script saying "This file work", now this gets prints into the console in Normal test but if i run in team test it wont print why? and yes in filder i have all checked

any help, im so confused

[halcyon sentinel]

is obby for ugc games worth it , for advertising them with like 40 ad credits
will i be profitable
each ugc - hair and mask cost 39rbx each

[scenic lily]

yall is it possible to set color attribute via script?

[lean ocean]

why are we using debris in 2026

[smoky pecan]

nope i use tutorials and it work he tell us everything then gives us a test the test u can like experience and more shi

[slow drift]

Yes it does

[grave zenith]

Of course it’s more simple to learn that way but doesn’t mean you cover every detail of the language

[balmy zenith]

no it doesnt

[balmy zenith]

test yourself

thats the best way

[grave zenith]

it does, if u understand math problems u can do them 😭

[balmy zenith]

thats not what libraries are

they provide you a solution

you dont understand shit

[grave zenith]

yes so it's making ur coding simple

[balmy zenith]

youre just using an api

doesnt mean you can code it from scratch can you?

[grave zenith]

you understand what it does in order to use it though

[balmy zenith]

so?

you need to understand anything in order to use it

thats just common sense

[grave zenith]

yes so it's making u more advanced knowing more advanced stuff

idk how to explain but that's the idea

[balmy zenith]

yeah obviously but this isnt restricted to knowing libraries

libraries doesnt do anything except convenience

[grave zenith]

libraries save life lol

[balmy zenith]

so?

doesnt means it magically makes you advanced to use one

[grave zenith]

do u know the definition of advanced

[balmy zenith]

perhaps your standard of advanced isnt as high as mine

but i view advanced as those who are top level

[vestal flare]

can anyone help me make like a chasing ai im not that good at lua

[balmy zenith]

no

[grave zenith]

using libraries is already a sign of high level

[balmy zenith]

this is not true

[grave zenith]

that's what I'm trying to explain

[balmy zenith]

anyone can use a library

using a library just means you arent a noob

[grave zenith]

theen anyone can become advanced

[balmy zenith]

cuz your definition of advanced is not advanced at all

[grave zenith]

if you're think about more advanced it's called expert sir

[balmy zenith]

expert would be even higher yeah

but some skid who knows how to use a library isnt advanced

all you need to do is read the docs of the library

its quite literally handed to you

[grave zenith]

I mean if the code works, 👍

[balmy zenith]

💀 💀 💀

"if the code works" is definitely not advanced level 💀

[grave zenith]

for me beginner advanced or expert is the way you proceed and how strong your code is. So beginner will not do things the same way as an advanced SO the advanced one use libraries that the beginner don't

do u get that

[balmy zenith]

yes so your definition of advanced is literally anyone who isnt a beginner

[grave zenith]

no

advanced is beginner but with proteins

[balmy zenith]

any decent scripter will use libraries

[lean ocean]

proteins

[little rose]

[balmy zenith]

they dont even gotta be decent to use libs

look how many skids wanna use datastore libraries so bad

they aint even know datastore yet fr

[grave zenith]

trust me if you are using libraries you aren't beginner

[balmy zenith]

yes you arent

but not being a beginner doesnt mean your good at scripting

[grave zenith]

maybe I'm a beginner who knows

[vestal flare]

guys how do i sed my code

[smoky pecan]

it does if i experience it

[smoky pecan]

yea i know

[grave zenith]

` ` `lua
your code
` ` `

[smoky pecan]

whats that

is that roblox studio code?

[vestal flare]

`lua

[grave zenith]

without space

[dusky relic]

Only time libraries are valid is if you're working with some obscure service, like firebase.

Other than that you should be using your own/making your own libraries

[dusky relic]

The more I've learned about programming and scripting in general the more I understand that most people that claim their advanced are just beginners.

[balmy zenith]

imo, unless the library is really good or really basic, for example things like signals do not have specific behavior and is basically same across any library
