Back to devving

[slow drift]

skid advice

using others people stuff is the key to fast programming

thats like saying: code your own graphics API instead of using openGl or Vulkan

[cyan fractal]

ctrl c + v

glory

what the helly

[cyan fractal]

finally

a bloat free and optimized graphics api

[cosmic obsidian]

Somebody up to making a game with me :P? I would prob. do the scripting on the backend. I also got a nice game idea. Lmk! :D

[dusky relic]

This is actual skid advice 💀 , the irony is insane

[slow drift]

no,
this is advice on how to get stuff done instead of taking ages doing it the "right way" as the discord dev degens call it

[crude wave]

heyo i been learning breaks how do i do that i am new to scripting

like does it break a loop or smthing

[lean ocean]

yea

[soft meteor]

isnt it return ?

[crude wave]

yeah

[soft meteor]

im so smart 😎

[crude wave]

i mea- hell yeah

[soft meteor]

Anyways, do yall know any dev i could hire for huge share of great potential game :b

ive been looking for over 2 weeks arledy and im slowly going insane

[crude wave]

[grave zenith]

Break is the return of a local function, Continue is the return of a connection function

[soft meteor]

game makes money, 20 ccu and with a 10k robux added on

[crude wave]

oh that actually makes sense

[crude wave]

habt ui

[grave zenith]

Yeah but using continue or break doesn’t return anything

[crude wave]

so basically when u return u can't continue the function/code?

[grave zenith]

Uhm

When u return a LOCAL function u can’t continue that fonction

[crude wave]

bro gonna answer with nes

[crude wave]

so i got the add being a scripter for 2 /3 days but i used some script and fixed them the ones ruined by ai and i just kinda goten into it

Realistic glass breaking simulation in roblox
︀︀Note: there r no lagging, i just delay abt 0,25 before it move away for u easier to see glass break details so it look abit bad

If u like, retweet n share

[crude wave]

thats kinda sick

[grave zenith]

No, I don’t like, shall we fight

[crude wave]

BURN THE WITCH 🗣️

[outer flax]

bro still have errors in the output

[thorny osprey]

It not come from the glass 1, it come from the thing behide

😭

[outer flax]

☠️

[thorny osprey]

This 1

[crude wave]

GOTTA DO WHAT A MAN'S GOTTA D O

[thorny osprey]

But the glass thing

Cool right

Very proud abt it

[crude wave]

👍

[thorny osprey]

How abt the collab?

[grave zenith]

Your thing is not optimized so no

[thorny osprey]

Oh yeah just testing

Testing math

It’s all will be client later

[grave zenith]

Why don’t u make particle instead

[thorny osprey]

Did u play battlefield game serie?, I want to bring their house destruction to roblox for my hero game

Realistic one

Not just a vfx

N yk it will be more fun to break a real glass than just have some fake glass particle

[grave zenith]

Last time we saw a « realistic destruction effect » it was in early Roblox so even if it was VERY laggy it was fun. But now it will be just something really annoying

Like this game

Un anchoring part is nothing complex

• your thing isn’t even suitable for a game

[thorny osprey]

This is math bro

Big difference

[outer flax]

basically touch then send force to all parts depending on the distance. closer = more force

is there a way to optimize this ? breaking glass is kinda cool

and make it sync to all players

[grave zenith]

It will be really hard though

[thorny osprey]

Annoy for normal game but for hero 3rd look Game it will be crazy thing, not only destruction when u touch part, it will depend on the move damage, move speed and if u use somerhing like element, it will depend on element like acid can damage brick or glass but not break, very realistic game

[outer flax]

jujustsu shenanigans and that one invicible game

[thorny osprey]

I will play this thing in client and check distance to optimize

Like if u in a zone, I can see this

But if u not, u even can’t see the map

[outer flax]

make it anchor when speed is close to 0

[thorny osprey]

No there game just voxel destruction not a realistic which I focus to

[grave zenith]

If you say so

[grave zenith]

It’s different cuz they have it very optimized

Battleground developers are never beginners lol

[thorny osprey]

Lol for real?

[outer flax]

battleground devs can only make battlegrounds and nothing more

[thorny osprey]

Lots of them r newbies lol

[outer flax]

they are just specialists

[oblique rock]

has anyone here played trade a kpop idol

[thorny osprey]

Just some of them can make something else

[oblique rock]

which has that egg thingy

im tryna make a brainrot version of it

where you buy the eggs, hatch them, then there's npcs that want certain brainrots

[thorny osprey]

Ok give me money, I can do every thing

[topaz crypt]

Eh why do you say that

[outer flax]

animation and vfx carries battleground games not the scripting

[oblique rock]

you give them those, and they give you better ones sometimes or js random

[thorny osprey]

Bro said fact

[topaz crypt]

For the most part battlegrounds games are made by not total beginners but pretty new devs success wise

Their scripting skills increase as their game does better

[outer flax]

👍

[topaz crypt]

But a battlegrounds game creator could make an rpg well ngl as long as they get optimisation down right

[thorny osprey]

Really?? There r more than 1 mil or even 1 bil battleground tut on ytb n even very very very much open source of battleground game

Like there r no difficult to make a battleground game

[topaz crypt]

Those tutorials will NEVER help someone create a real good bg game

They rarely cover the true important stuff like state machines, interruption handling etc

[outer flax]

once you got the main mechanic like blocking and stuns done then you kinda need some skills to freestyle and make skillset

[thorny osprey]

Even don’t need to know anything, just need to add lots of open source n then

Have a battleground game

[topaz crypt]

Its not that simple

[outer flax]

creating the first bg game was hard but now there are too many tutorials and opensources 👍

[thorny osprey]

It’s not hard bro

[topaz crypt]

But if a bg dev makes their own battle ground frame work by the end of the games production they will be a pretty solid Dev

[thorny osprey]

Battleground is the most ez thing in scripting

[outer flax]

real

[outer flax]

harder than grow a garden and 99 night and steal a brainrot tho

[sturdy coral]

hey fellas

[thorny osprey]

They can’t bro, just some game make their own, some big game

But lots of battleground game use opensource

[topaz crypt]

Tycoons are easier

[thorny osprey]

Oh yeah mb

[topaz crypt]

Tell me what you think goes into a battlegrounds game

[outer flax]

animations

[thorny osprey]

Vfx n animation carry everything

Scripter just do some system like characters, m1s, movement, blocking and then maybe they will do voxel break or something else to make their game look different

But yk the thing that carry battleground game is vfx and animation

[outer flax]

making a smooth ragdoll might be kinda hard tho and also state mechanics and skill movesets

[thorny osprey]

Only jjk shenanigan is different

[thorny osprey]

Not too hard

[outer flax]

try making a ragdoll module

[topaz crypt]

In terms of success yes but making a cohesive battlegrounds game isn’t so simple especially when you account for statemachines,ability prioritys ,correcting physics issues ,ability interruptions etc

[topaz crypt]

You need a certain level of skill to do all of these well a youtube playlist wont show

[thorny osprey]

But they got open source, like have a lots of references to do

[topaz crypt]

The youtube videos make lil videos that appease people with short attention spans that cant stay commited to a project long term

[sturdy coral]

im just gonna brute force my way into this conversation and say a new developer cant hop into studio and expect to make a quality bg and its not that easy even with all the resources

[thorny osprey]

Like roblox is going to very boring because of battleground games, brain rot game n even open world game

Nothing different

[sturdy coral]

obviously if u have prior experience itll be much easier no brainer

[thorny osprey]

Ah forgot tower defense

Nothing different

Spamming n spamming

Then the platform goes boring

[outer flax]

we need more rpgs fr

[topaz crypt]

Even taking away skill issues drom creating a bg game ts still cost money that a lot of the YouTube video watcher’s cant provide

[outer flax]

if a rpg game gets popular it doesn't get copied in a week because it's hard to make one

[sturdy coral]

imo bg opened up a new realm of roblox games even tho i dont like them that much

[thorny osprey]

Ok I need to sleep now

[copper gull]

guys for server to client UI changes. what's better remotes, attributes, [type]values? looking for effeminacy, also the changed data is public (all players will see it)

[topaz crypt]

Harder to get into cuz of the money requirements

[topaz crypt]

Personally i use attributes

If its a character life to life basis

[copper gull]

is there a particular reason for so?

[outer flax]

because you can set it on the model/character right away no internal module table and remote scripting, so you can easily make a overhead health bar with custom hp system i guess

it's a personal preference you can also use other things

[topaz crypt]

Yea basically

[grave zenith]

No way

Are u kidding ?

[topaz crypt]

Also it depends on how often u expect the data to update ngl

[copper gull]

let's say to 100-1000 / min? is it still a good option. I am concerned abt network bandwidth

[grave zenith]

You talk about replication?

Like display statistics or info

[copper gull]

yes

[grave zenith]

Replica service then

[copper gull]

what does it do

[grave zenith]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/replicate-your-states-with-replicaservice-networking-system/894736

[topaz crypt]

Every 100 minutes?

[grave zenith]

It’s advanced though so if you’re a not familiar with public libraries, it will be pain

@copper gull https://madstudioroblox.github.io/ReplicaService/ this is the wiki

[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

can ANYONE PLS HELP

[grave zenith]

After 6k requests per minute it’s getting laggy

[topaz crypt]

Oh im an idiot he meant 100-1000 requests

[lyric moat]

Yo what would be the best way to do some anticheat for a car system?

[grave zenith]

Roblox’s network ownership system is not your friend for today

[lyric moat]

Yea I know

[grave zenith]

I guess they can apply body force to the car since they have ownership

But don’t spend your time on making an anti cheat for a car mate

[lyric moat]

why not?

[outer flax]

because they can just /fly

👍

[lyric moat]

I am confused, why not make an anti cheat for a car?

[grave zenith]

It will be pain

Just verify uhh position and stuff in server

[lyric moat]

I mean pain is pain

[grave zenith]

Most of exploiters are skid bro

[lyric moat]

I want this to come out smooth so might aswell do some anticheat

[grave zenith]

And if someone really want to exploit ur game he will still find a way lol

[lyric moat]

Its true but you have to aleast try to close the door, instead of just leaving the door open

people can still break in but you gotta do some effort atleast to secure stuff

[crude coral]

whats the best way to learn Lua ive tried the game scripting school and Yt guides but I dont really remember anything they teach

[sturdy coral]

if ur not thinking of the solutions ur never gonna remember anything

ur better applying yourself and doing something coming up with your own solutions

just make stuff

[grave zenith]

Learn what you need

That’s simple

If you need to do anything, learn how to do it

And by accumulating all that knowledge you will do things easily

[crude coral]

I unfortunately need to learn how to revamp my entire game

[grave zenith]

Then divide the game on multiple sections

[crude coral]

I kinda need to become a jack of all trades as soon as possible which isnt really possible

a jack of all trades is a master of none

[crude coral]

thats cool

[unreal nest]

thx

[spice crow]

you need to code stuff like try making smth urself What you learnt

and practice th3m

[oak ingot]

Hello, whats ur advice to how to learn luau, I tried watching some tutorials but didnt help much..

[vast mantle]

Learn the reason behind why it works and the logics first imo and understand coding before trying to learn a scripting language try watching cs50 lecture 1 (the week0 one) it's really informative and teaches u the fundamentals https://www.youtube.com/live/2WtPyqwTLKM?si=ziWgLYsZ2nqutnUW this is assuming you are completely new tho

[hollow wharf]

could someone help me on my horse system i got it working but it wont let me add a second horse type to the gui

[oak ingot]

Im new in Luau, usually I code with C# but in school projects so im not really into game coding

[slender falcon]

how much is an average price for an health system

[willow sapphire]

what concepts would u guys say is important for building games in terms of programming? OOP is a huge one, are there any others?

[wise turtle]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/all-about-entity-component-system/1664447

[willow sapphire]

tysvm!!!

[potent igloo]

oop and ecs arent as important as people say

a modular codebase and clean code are way more important

study the SOLID principles and clean code practices

[iron kraken]

idk what ecs is but i hear it can be good if u are managing a ton of enemies so could be worth learning

also maybe learn about typing in luau

[potent glen]

Hi guys, if im making a movement system should i use velocity PIDs (directly setting hrp’s assemblylinearvelocity) or roblox’s built in physics constraints/instances?

[idle musk]

There’s like a billion things

that are imporyant

[idle musk]

I mean they are but okay

[potent igloo]

strict typing is way more important than oop and ecs

[idle musk]

OOP is just a basic programming concept

[potent igloo]

oop and ecs are just tools

[idle musk]

You realize these things aren’t mutually exclusive

[potent igloo]

they need to be put in priority order when studying

theres no reason to learn oop if your code looks trash

[idle musk]

You should learn oop because the type system 💀

It’s a basic programming concept

[potent igloo]

barely useful for luau

[main sorrel]

when do you use strict

[potent igloo]

in every script

[main sorrel]

alr

[idle musk]

That’s just not true

💀

[main sorrel]

oop is good for ui

[idle musk]

If you’re doing any higher level abstractions you’re gonna wanna use either ECS or OOP

Atleast in game development

[potent igloo]

singleton objects can easily be replaced by normal modulescripts
objects that just store info could easily be replaced by strictly typed tables

[idle musk]

Nobody is telling you to use singleton objects 💀

What is this argument

Strawmanning

[idle musk]

If they just store data then use tables nobody is telling you to use objects for everything

L argument

[potent igloo]

im listing usecases and stating how they're easily replaced by strict typing instead of oop

[solemn nebula]

how do u do this

[potent igloo]

i know, and thats exactly my point?

[solemn nebula]

the background

[potent igloo]

oop is barely useful because in most cases, strict typing replaces it

[idle musk]

There are use cases that you shouldn’t be using OOP for doesn’t mean it’s bad. There are situations where a function is more suitable, or an object, or just pure data, or a module, or a system

[potent igloo]

i never said oop is bad, and i do use oop myself, but in most cases its not useful

[idle musk]

You are saying the square is bad because it doesn’t fit in the triangle hole

[potent igloo]

read this please

[idle musk]

When it should only be meant for the square hole

[solemn nebula]

??

[potent igloo]

strict type checking, in the other hand, is always useful, therefore it should be prioritized when studying

[idle musk]

Okay but you’re saying that “in most cases it’s not useful” when that can apply to any concept in programming

[potent igloo]

it can not

[idle musk]

Your argument is fundamentally flawed, learning these two different concepts isn’t mutually exclusive

[potent igloo]

strict type checking, clean code and solid principles are always useful

[potent igloo]

.

read this

[idle musk]

solid principles aren’t always useful

[potent igloo]

guides a way to future proof your code, they are usually useful

more than oop on a non object oriented language

[idle musk]

solid is meant for writing OO code

[potent igloo]

youre right, but some principles can apply to other stuff

like the single responsibility principle (my favourite)

i think its useful for a beginner

[idle musk]

Okay but adhering to solid principles in every situation ain’t really

a good idea

[potent igloo]

it wouldve helped me a lot if i followed it from the start

[trail matrix]

hi i need some help on vs

so im trying to put my discord token in a .env but it still wont work i tried everything

[potent igloo]

i agree, i feel like solid sometimes can force excessive boilerplate if used too strictly

[idle musk]

The concepts of dependency inversion and open closed principle shouldn’t always be followed

DI is useful but in some cases it can lead to too much indirection

[potent igloo]

open closed is almost impossible to follow but theyre good concepts to have in mind

[potent igloo]

yh

[idle musk]

Sometimes it’s better for a higher level module to depend on its subsystems

[potent igloo]

@marsh kelp

[idle musk]

You get less indirection and stricter typing instead of interface dependency and then subsystem injection

[potent igloo]

my point is this

[idle musk]

Okay but OOP is a way to achieve modular and reusable code

Saying you shouldn’t learn it and prioritize strict typing is foolish

OOP is incredibly important and something beginners should use early on

And also beginners shouldn’t be learning the type system

[potent igloo]

oop can be a way to achieve reusable code but i wouldnt say oop creates reusable code

[idle musk]

like maybe some function annotations but luau typing is a rabbit hole with not many guides or documentation

[potent igloo]

yeah, but types also give warnings on potential bad code

and helps a lot in preventing execution errors

[idle musk]

Okay but a beginner shouldn’t be learning the type system

other than maybe some simple annotations

[potent igloo]

simple type annotations with --!strict already saves a lot of time debugging

[idle musk]

Okay but it’s not necessary for a beginner to learn

[potent igloo]

i think they should, strict type checking forces good code and ensures they understand whats going on

[potent igloo]

yeah, its not necessary

but i think its a priority over oop

[trail matrix]

can someone actually help me 💔

[idle musk]

It’s unnecessary and additional cognitive load for a beginner who likely doesn’t even have a strong grasp on luau syntax or the Roblox engine itself

[trail matrix]

oh nvm theres a channel for that

[full trout]

fuh na oop sucks

[wintry stratus]

how do i make my script run every tick?

[summer phoenix]

Lua is a programming language, luau is a fork of lua how is it not programming

[summer phoenix]

If you are looking to just change the color or corner radius you can do that with attributes.

If you would like to directly modify the inventory frame in the code, the code for the inventory starts on line 1448.

[teal minnow]

if i were to create a cooldown for an ability, is it more effective to use a coroutine than a simple task.wait(), and if so, why?

[summer phoenix]

coroutines add complexity without benefit

just use task.wait() for that scenario

[grave zenith]

good question

but tbh make ur own system

this library is just for lazy people

[solid vault]

He was trolling ✌️

Js do
while task.wait() do
—//Code
end

Also never use wait()

Use task.wait instead

bruh i must really suck then

i cant even code systems its so difficult

my first mini project was making a glove pvp punching game

all I did was just make the glove weld to the player

then i quit

cuz i had no experience

[quick berry]

better than me

[crimson portal]

who wanna be my friend

[proud idol]

maybe try using an enum equivalent for the items instead of using stringsdirectly

[zenith ravine]

ok bet

[willow sapphire]

ah shoot yeah thats the problem and even tho theres loads of resources out there, theres no really well explained way for connecting systems imo tbh

[dense shadow]

I lowkey need help to understand module

[willow sapphire]

i dont think so man, u just gotta keep doing it

[willow sapphire]

hm wdym by enum equivalent?

[summer phoenix]

its like a toolbox that you can share between different parts of your game

It's a script that stores useful code

[summer phoenix]

Some reasons why you use modules would be:

1. You don't have to copy-paste the same code everywhere
2. If you need to fix a bug, you only fix it in ONE place
3. It keeps your game organized

[quick berry]

thats a pretty good way of describing a module script

[summer phoenix]

i had to reach into the beginner minds

[willow sapphire]

i luv module scripts

[quick berry]

if i hadnt discovered module scripts i would have like 100 different scripts in every part by now

[willow sapphire]

i used to do that 💀

yeah DRY > WET frfr

[quick berry]

@willow sapphire how did you display your code like this instead of an image?

[willow sapphire]

just do ```lua

and after ur stuff

local foo = 123

[quick berry]

local burger = 800 calories

cmonn

[willow sapphire]

add the ``` at the end

[quick berry]

ahh

[lusty dawn]

gang

[quick berry]

local burger = 800 calories

thanks

[willow sapphire]

np man

How does luau type inference system improve both performance and developer experience compared to traditional dynamically typed scripting languages like his brother lua

[muted raft]

Whats better vsc with rojo or lemonade?

[bold hound]

VSC & Rojo!

[dusky relic]

No

Neovim + rojo

[bold hound]

Fair.

[willow sapphire]

i find it inefficient to code with vs and rojo i prefer studio bc if i use rojo i have to tab out of vs code to studio every time just to test

gets quite annoyin after a while

[warm pagoda]

script sync

[dusky relic]

Then rojo is not for you, the people that use rojo are the ones that are writing thousands of lines without needing to test constantly.

(When you're debugging of course you don't use rojo)

[willow sapphire]

yeah thats true, if you're more proficient you would probably use rojo

for big studios its standard practice so i suppose its a good thing to use rojo nonetheless

[deft coral]

"proficient" lmao

most people who prefer rojo are not system designers, there is a correlation between that thoug hand not testing as much, as larger studios tend to plan more rather than the indie dev coding as hes designing it

but being real systems devs dont use rojo as much for the reasons dark says

when u need to debug and actually see the results of your actions, like using the physics engine, then rojo is kinda pointless

i tend to just dev in studio and sync for that reason cuz im usually responsible for those kind of systems

[twin roost]

and then gives me cool 8 hour response gaps

[deft coral]

ass lol

[twin roost]

I don’t even think I’m being scammed I just think the kid is chronically unaware

[deft coral]

thats why referrals are the best to find programmers

cuz no one would recommend that kid

[random nebula]

but all the good programmers use it

actually they use vim with zero configs

[twin roost]

Unfortunately all my referrals have gone on to independent study

I’m not gonna lie

I’ve kinda exhausted that for actually competent scripters

[deft coral]

whats the comm

Laugh track

[twin roost]

making some mid-level movement system for motorcycles / motorbikes and then

moderate backend things

i said id code the entire ui

they just gotta connect it to backend functions

[willow sapphire]

yeah fs i noticed that.

it seems like rojo is only really for version control with git or workflow preferences

to me it just seems like an extra step but everyone to their own

[idle musk]

imagine having a big codebase

without strict typing

and u make one change

about half your project will break

with strict typing you get lints

[willow sapphire]

what does strict do

[idle musk]

when shi is broken

[willow sapphire]

i only used it like once or twice but i never knew what it did

[somber vault]

Guys what price would be reasonable for a chess board game ? I've been asked 800 and 1000$

[deft coral]

readability and miscommunication

[deft coral]

it barely works

[deft coral]

to code one?

[proud idol]

you can consider an enum as a list that returns a certain number when indexed

local EnumList = {
  item1 = 1,
  item2 = 2,
  item3 = 3,
}
print(Enumlist.item1) --> 1

Now what are the advantages of enums? You are still using numbers to transmit information (which is more efficient than with strings) while stil retaining readability in code

[somber vault]

yeah

[deft coral]

enums are types in the roblox engine

oh wait u were not asking a question

i admit i got confused i was like "well that makes sense, whats their confusion"

lol

[balmy zenith]

was a rhetorical

[plain basin]

How would I go about a "Passives"/talents system similar to deepwoken

[proud idol]

knowing how to script gives u a head start into computer science engineering

and you can do a lot of things with it

[crimson portal]

Module script

[plain basin]

yeah that much is obvious but can you be abit more specific as to how i should go about running it up without creating lag or anything

[proud idol]

thing is that you are essencially asking ppl to design the system for you lol

[plain basin]

No, im asking what methods should and shouldn't be used

[crimson portal]

U could have

Multiple tables in 1 module script

Of talents

Or u can have multiple modules of talents

[plain basin]

i.e , im not sure if using loops would fry the game in the long run

[crimson portal]

Well

Deepwoken doesnt loop through all the cards

Just specific folders of cards

Depends on your stats

[plain basin]

i attempted to make it before but im not sure if it's actually good

[crimson portal]

Its ok

[plain basin]

this is with having all the talents under 1 library

[plain basin]

I would run the first 1 whenever the players character loaded in

[deft coral]

why spawn and then .wait

[plain basin]

idk i made this a very long time ago

[tribal mango]

Can anyone tell me how to fix it 13:15:17.880 Multiple StyleLinks under RobloxGui may result in undefined behavior - Studio

[faint smelt]

dont use multiple stylelinks under robloxgui i suppose

[grave zenith]

You make a passive script that do a forever loop

[topaz ferry]

I got that message too, usually just ignore them and assume its some roblox thing. (It hasn't impacted my game and just started popping up without me changing anything)

anyone wanna play or talk dm me

[agile harbor]

Opinion of this animation function?

[balmy zenith]

use guard clauses

and not, instead of checking for boolean

[oblique vessel]

Can anyone help me with this?
The function doesn't work when the player respawns.

function LShiftToSprint()

local userInputService = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local Player = game:GetService('Players')
local character = Player.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(inputObject)
    if inputObject.KeyCode.Name == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift.Name then
        humanoid.WalkSpeed = 70
    end
end)
userInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(inputObject)
    if inputObject.KeyCode.Name == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift.Name then
        humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
    end
end)

end
game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(LShiftToSprint())

[lean ocean]

look at the bottom of ur script

remove the 2 function brackets ()

[visual lagoon]

Ye

[agile harbor]

You don't really need to do CharacterAdded, instead see if PlayerCharacter is here.

[wintry stratus]

oh alrit thank

[main sorrel]

it's not neccesary

[summer phoenix]

It is

you're calling the function LShiftToSprint() immediately (with the parentheses), and then trying to connect the return value of that function to the event

[main sorrel]

but hes not even using that argument dude

which makes it same

[summer phoenix]

the original code would run once when the script starts

wouldn't run again on respawn

and his script isn't really working either

multiple issues

CharacterAdded() passes the parameter (Char) which is the character

Theres no need to hook another :wait()

[lean ocean]

sorry smartie

[summer phoenix]

he is wrong btw

[lean ocean]

I know

[main sorrel]

thx it worked

[summer phoenix]

also ik you're a new scripter but you have to be ware of leaks

youre declaring UIS on every character added

it'll keep stacking until eventually it starts lagging/doing something unexpected

[torpid arch]

Hello guys. I don't really use the dev fourm but I wanna start using it or atleast staying up to date so does anyone have any advice for me to start from a specific section or??? Like I'm a good scripter but where do I start with the dev fourm?

[exotic cairn]

how do i resize a textbutton to be exactly the edges of text so i can like make a sentance out of textbuttons

[torpid arch]

Do not set scaled = true but it's a better practice to set it as true if u want it fitting for the button

[plain copper]

to the people who have learned coding to the point where they can make a game, how did you get past when you were stuck whether it was you lacking skill or not knowing how to learn / what to do?

[exotic cairn]

how do ik what size button needs to be to hit the edges of text

do i just need to get every charcaters size

[torpid arch]

Just press set scaled to true in the properties of the putton text

[exotic cairn]

and make a module for it

[exotic cairn]

if the textbutton is too wide the text centers and theres remaining space on the edges, if its too small the text gets scsaled down, i need it to perfectly be in the edges

and same size as other textbuttons

so it looks like a textlabel

with hyperlinks

[torpid arch]

What font r u using?

[exotic cairn]

source sans pro bold

[paper current]

Automatic size:XY size {0,0,0,0} and you can add a uipadding and custom it

Or just textalignmentX to left

[inner aurora]

guys can you please give me your opinions? Do you think I should start making a game, not for the quality, but only for the project
OR:
Should I finish the advanced series? Right now Im only on UserInputService, but I really feel like creating something

@pearl inlet i need assistance

[pearl inlet]

interesting

[potent dune]

How does this make y'all feel?

[solar inlet]

guys

is using cframes for the istance and tween using an external cframe value to make an hatch animation the best way to make it appealing?

[rose notch]

brainfuck is the best language prove me wrong

[exotic cairn]

thank you

[plain copper]

is it fine that I use :WaitForChild pretty much everywhere

[rose notch]

yes but some random lua nerd will come at you and tell you to use some random built in function

or at me

probably at me

[paper current]

Do wtv you feel like doing but if you choose to crest something do not be too ambitious you will discourage yourself

[inner aurora]

ty bro

[static coral]

just declare it as multi line string

[static coral]

dont make big projects immediately just make super small ones that focus on a single thing to learn from them

[leaden island]

can someone tell me a universal system i could use for multiple games to create medium level plz

holy shit my english

[inner aurora]

i have done some small projects like a super duper simple inventory system and a simple coin collection + shop system
and i was thinkng of maybe combining everything into one
cause right now i am worried about not getting the module scripts, I know how they function and I know how you can use them and call them, etc. But I am so confused as to why every project's / game's scripts are 90% module scripts

[static coral]

its just better for organisation and performance. it also allows you to choose what runs when and allows you to reuse the same code in several scripts and also across the server and client if applicable

[inner aurora]

Yeah you are right, I know that, but again I don't know like why so many. I guess with time I will get it. Anyway, thanksss!

[rose notch]

are you a highly experience programmer in luau

[inland crag]

Guys pls how long does it take to get good at lua and actually start doing commissions

[faint ruin]

I just followed the instructions of a buddy

[faint ruin]

Alright well then my buddy did that

[wise turtle]

a month

[inland crag]

Fr ?

[wise turtle]

yes

if u dont know how to code itll take u more than a month

if u care about learning u will spend the time easily

[inland crag]

Personally I stated learning lua about 2 weeks ago my first coding language

[iron kraken]

good job

👍

[inland crag]

Thanks

Just that sometimes seeing how good y’all are actually demotivates me sometimes

And sometimes I look at the commissions and they seem so hard

[iron kraken]

i dont compare myself to others 👍

Nah it doesn’t affect performance

But do what helps you gng

If splitting up systems individually is easier do that

That’s what I usally do

It makes code much easier to maintain

Hanging one local script for it all works too but it’s just not nesscary

yo any skilled scripters wanna join me Im looking for party members

like 10 or less cause Im making a gc too, lowkey 7 would be good since its my lucky number

[sharp gull]

7 scripters 💀

[azure comet]

not strictly scripters just devs in general

but yeah 7 is my lucky number so it would be great

[jovial juniper]

Oui oui, for what?

[azure comet]

cause since 7 has the luck buff then if I had 7 scripters they would be super cool together and I wouldnt need anyone else

[sharp gull]

ur pfp is a 15 year old 🤔

[azure comet]

Im making a super awesome passionate game I been writing for almost a year now so Im looking for reliable people to help me with the project, Im usually a solo dev but I wanna make this game with other people to build a nice connection

[jovial juniper]

I am in

🙃

[azure comet]

friendship, trust and hope is a super huge thing with alot of weapons in the game since I write their lore based on people I like

[strange kiln]

aaaaare you paying?

[jovial juniper]

You can expect a big no.

[azure comet]

Like theres this one weapon I created called "the acceltator sword" that was created by taking a piece of a car and grinding it against a speeding road to sharpen it

[jovial juniper]

It's a passion game. And he's talking about friendship not partners for the time being.

[strange kiln]

I'd rather let him speak for himself👍

[azure comet]

No Im kinda against monetizing games and stuff but if this game suceeds I will allow my dev friends to take the funds

[strange kiln]

ha poor

[jovial juniper]

That's crazy

[azure comet]

yeah I am broke Im a college student lol

[strange kiln]

so you have a j*b

[jovial juniper]

Passion games are just not allowed these days?

[strange kiln]

aanyways

do you have a scripter

[jovial juniper]

How old are you may I ask?

[strange kiln]

17

[azure comet]

also Im just against like money hungry roblox devs I feel like money ruins good passionate games

[jovial juniper]

I do have a job but I dont get paid enough to pay others especially with the average rates people expect

[azure comet]

exactly why I am motivated I want actual connections with others I dont want my devs to be fueled by money like some robots

money would just be some extra reward from our success

[strange kiln]

Are you a communist

[jovial juniper]

Money is awesome, but passionate games with like a VIP for 1.2x xp or something is awesome.

[azure comet]

if I wanted money I wouldnt be tryna team up with other people lol Im a solo dev

[jovial juniper]

So there's not any gaining from spending money

[azure comet]

ew no

[azure comet]

I will find some way to intrigrate monetization in this game like extra perks for players but in a way where it isnt pay to win

[strange kiln]

jsut make it cosmetic

[jovial juniper]

Exactly the way it should be

[azure comet]

like I said I hate traditional roblox developer motivations they ruin games

[jovial juniper]

Steal a brainrot 🤓

[marsh kelp]

They're allowed, but most ppl here expect payment for the "job"

There's a few other servers that allow Passion projects hire ( free, or % of the uncomplete game )

[azure comet]

main reason I became a dev in the first place was cause games I love were ruined by greedy devs

[jovial juniper]

Real.

Or it just died 🫡

[azure comet]

plus also so many players in the platform who genuinley want awesome games but have their suggestions ignored Im doing this for them

[jovial juniper]

I've been waiting for some of these solo leveling games. Or other MMORPG games

But they're all on some late release date 🫩

[strange kiln]

then what are you

are you a marxist

[loud bridge]

it cannot operate independently

its domain specific to roblox studio

There are hundreds of domain specific programming languages and All are still programming, just not general-purpose

hi, how do i use fusion to manage state of my ui?
Rn i have a weapon system with lots of different values that need to be displayed in ui
but idk how i can communicate these changes to the ui script using fusion's Values

[summer phoenix]

So we are saying SQL, HTML, ShaderLab, MATLAB are not programming languages

least obvious rage bait

[azure comet]

No I just think greed is a very bad thing Im just a childish anarchist in a way lol I wish the world worked like minecraft and people just gained wealth based on their own work and stuff

[strange kiln]

ASM isn't a language.

[strange kiln]

so you're an anarchist

[summer phoenix]

Assembly (ASM) absolutely is a programming language

its just a low level one

[azure comet]

like my ultimate fantasy is just living ona farm or something and eating the food I grow and building my own houses with trees etc

[summer phoenix]

Takes one search btw

🥀

skid-discussion

🙏 😂

[strange kiln]

They don't even look the same

[azure comet]

hey wanna join my dev crew Im making

[strange kiln]

asm is 1trillion% NOT a language

[summer phoenix]

why are you comparing 2 different hud styles

like its gonna make any better

[strange kiln]

this guy thinks he's luffy

[azure comet]

you seem super good at what you do

[summer phoenix]

Assembly came before most modern languages

[azure comet]

I think of myself as more of a yamato kinda guy

[strange kiln]

yeah, it came BEFORE languages

what next? binary is a language to you?

[summer phoenix]

ur lowk dumb

[azure comet]

zombie do you wanna join me cause I just though of like a cool weapon based on your name

[summer phoenix]

it is, just not a human-readable programming language.

[strange kiln]

i'm highk smart

[summer phoenix]

helll naw

[azure comet]

actually seeing the conflict you two have maybe tryna get you two on my crew would be an issue

whatcha arguing about anyways

[strange kiln]

what is your game about

[summer phoenix]

it's like saying “Latin isn’t a language because it’s old and nobody speaks it daily.”

[strange kiln]

I'm bored so I'm trying to convince him that ASM isn't a language

[summer phoenix]

yea fuck this channel

this rage baiting is too much

it needs to be nuked

[azure comet]

Its gonna be the ultimate fantasy game, Im a huge otaku who loves fantasy anime and always wanted a game just like em

[azure comet]

do you know the list of what qualitfies something as a language? if ASM checks it out then it is if it doesnt then it isnt no hard feelings win some you lose some

[strange kiln]

it's obviously a language

it's THE language

[azure comet]

organization is a good way to solve conflicts especially when fueled by ignorance

[summer phoenix]

It has syntax, and all core traits of a programming language.

[strange kiln]

it's the fastest language too

[azure comet]

cool

[strange kiln]

Certain languages will convert to ASM after you write the code

to optimize

[azure comet]

cool

cool

[strange kiln]

so are you talking dragons n stuff

[azure comet]

its more than the average fantasy world it also has alot of cool lore and world building I been brain storming it for almost a year now its super awesome

but yeah it has everything the average fantasy has and more

[strange kiln]

hmm well you described it as "super awesome"

that must mean it's super awesome

[azure comet]

also has some cool evil forces in it

[strange kiln]

what makes it so awesome

also like what genra of gaem is it

genre

[azure comet]

these super advanced aliens who were in war with another superior alien race and came down to our fantasy world to take our resoures to use for the war, and the powerful races in our world (like demons) they enslave and biologically upgrade em to use as soldiers

[azure comet]

open world adventure game

[strange kiln]

Walking simulator?

[azure comet]

its combat system will have plenty of things from magic, to custom weapons and also you can get biological upgrades using alien technoloy if you join them

[azure comet]

no open world adventure game not exploration game

ad-ven-ture epicness

[strange kiln]

so it's an rpg

type shart

[azure comet]

there will be pve

imagine fighting cool ass fantasy alien demons

[strange kiln]

🤔

that sounds like a LOT

for me to code

alone

[azure comet]

multiple scripters

dont worry it will be organized I will try to remove the burden as much as I can from you guys

Im a great game designer

[strange kiln]

type shart

do you already have mroe scripters

[azure comet]

yeah type shart

No I just started this endevour when I join this community

I been planning it for almost a year now and Im actually starting to get a crew together I already have 1 scripter

I also have another scripter friend who is always at my aid willing to help me

so that kinda makes 2 other scripters besides you and me

Im also a scripter but IM not good eough to make such an elaborate game on my own

also Im full stack I model/build etc etc

[inland agate]

what are you guys building

[azure comet]

I kinda wanna spend more time building and modeling since I find iit fun

[azure comet]

Im tryna gather other devs for a fantasy game I wanna make

[azure comet]

it depends what you can code

[inland agate]

yeah modelling is easier and more fun

[inland agate]

alright good luck

yeah Im a artist at heart I love to draw, make lore, build, and model

even make particles and stuff

[strange kiln]

a transform

[blazing leaf]

i dont get it

like i wanted to rotate door 90 degrees

[shut ridge]

Math.angles(math.rad))

[summer aurora]

today I just realized how easy it was to make an AI chatbot

[copper jay]

I'm trying to make a currency display that when the player gains money it will count up very quickly until it hits the amount the player now has, i can't figure out a way to do this without it breaking or being too slow

[deft coral]

while loop

[copper jay]

is a while loop quicker than a repeat until

[foggy burrow]

Alr I got a question

I’m tryna think if this is a smart thing to do

For my project

I use meshes in some of the visual effects

Right now I just simply clone the mesh and then emit it and then destroy it

I got the idea to have a cache of each mesh for visuals

[cobalt apex]

.

[foggy burrow]

And then creating and destroying meshes

I simply call upon the mesh

Get it and then use it and then return it back to the cache

[copper jay]

it is not, imma have to figure out a way to find the perfect number to divide by or smth

[balmy zenith]

same thing

[foggy burrow]

I just don’t know if that’s a smart idea because of how many meshes I will have

[balmy zenith]

called an object pool, could be useful if you got 50-100+ objects per second

[foggy burrow]

I know

[deft coral]

they're inverse operations, the speed is the same, and their behavior can be mimicked in each other it doesnt matter which you choose

[foggy burrow]

But I don’t got 50-100 objects per second 😭

It’s not that fast

[copper jay]

i feel like the way im doing this is really stupid

[deft coral]

just count up till u hit the goal value

[foggy burrow]

Dude

[copper jay]

StatsFolder:WaitForChild("Tokens", 60).Changed:Connect(function()
    local Sell = Tokens.Value - Bank.Value
    local Amount = math.round(Sell/3.14)
    
    repeat
        task.wait()
        Bank.Value += Amount
        Statistics.TokenLabel.Text = Bank.Value.." T$"
    until Bank.Value == Tokens.Value
end)

[balmy zenith]

how much you got

[foggy burrow]

It’s easy

[foggy burrow]

It’s a skill

[balmy zenith]

yes how much in total in the game at once per second

[foggy burrow]

So no where near every second

[deft coral]

=

[copper jay]

1 is too slow, like way too slow, i need a better way of checking if it's hit the goal

[foggy burrow]

Per second? 0

[copper jay]

i need it to be EXACTLY the same as the tokens

[balmy zenith]

then it aint worth

[hasty mesa]

then set it to it after wards

[foggy burrow]

Max is if each player used the same skill at once which would be 15

Alr

[rigid rover]

bro why are u always online

[balmy zenith]

idfk

[rigid rover]

aamd here

[copper jay]

but then the player will see an incorrect number no?

[balmy zenith]

i gotta get off

[deft coral]

no you just assign it back to the total once its over and the frame will render it as the end result

[rigid rover]

litearlly whenever im on i see u here

[foggy burrow]

So object pooling is only efficient in quick instances where your creating a part every second or smthn

[deft coral]

x += 10 until x >= 101; x = 101

bam

[balmy zenith]

yes

[foggy burrow]

Gotchu

[balmy zenith]

or else there would be no reason to pool

[foggy burrow]

It would be efficient in a crater system

Right?

Where you gotta spawn multiple rocks in a circle

[balmy zenith]

if you expect many craters then sure

[deft coral]

obect pooling is just basic good behavior

[balmy zenith]

but if its 1 crater, not really

[balmy zenith]

ye but only really do it when you need to

[foggy burrow]

What about 10

[deft coral]

Ya

[balmy zenith]

sure, pool it

[foggy burrow]

Yea I just have a cache rn for 100 rocks

[deft coral]

Try it and see kind of moment cuz it depends on the data and the restrictions

[balmy zenith]

wont feel it

[foggy burrow]

Yeah

[deft coral]

if u lag try pooling bottom text

was my point

[balmy zenith]

its just better, i doubt youd notice the difference

[foggy burrow]

I just have a 100 part cache

For a crater

[balmy zenith]

i wouldnt prewarm idk

[deft coral]

miniscule

[foggy burrow]

What?

[deft coral]

@copper jay

[copper jay]

yea this works coz it's fast enough now it hides it

[balmy zenith]

id start with a pool of 0 if its just a 100

[copper jay]

u don't notice that u "lose" a few dollars or whatever

[deft coral]

cool

[foggy burrow]

But then there’s nothing in the pool to grab from

And then the pool would just add more

[balmy zenith]

yes you only create when you need it

basically

[foggy burrow]

Alr well I can’t have a pool of zero cause I need a template so at least 1

Nvm I can still have zero

It just won’t create a clone

[balmy zenith]

function pull()
local object = pool[1]
if object then
pool[1], pool[#pool] = pool[#pool], nil
end
return object or newObject()
end

function free(object)
table.insert(object)
end```

if theres no object in pool, itll just make one

so it creates as you need em

you might also want to add pool clearing

[foggy burrow]

Yeah to completely delete slll the instances

Why would I need to do that though? The pool is just on the client

[balmy zenith]

or maybe a portion

[foggy burrow]

If the pool were to get too large?

[balmy zenith]

in case if theres a spike in usage, and you just have tons of objects in pool for no reason

[foggy burrow]

I gotchu

[balmy zenith]

i wouldnt do a cap/limit

maybe like clear 1/3 of pool every X seconds, not sure whats a good clearing metric

[foggy burrow]

Oh I see

So like a automatic cleaning system

[balmy zenith]

yeah

[rigid rover]

what is this for

[foggy burrow]

For craters

Where multiple rocks get created and then designed

Destroyed**

[rigid rover]

u should add a cap then just incase

[foggy burrow]

Why

[balmy zenith]

would be a very big cap

very very big

[rigid rover]

exploiters, bugs

[foggy burrow]

Wdym exploiting

[balmy zenith]

like an unreasonable cap that shouldnt ever happen in normal game

[balmy zenith]

spawn 19282 craters

[foggy burrow]

They could do that either way either way with or without pooling

[rigid rover]

if theres a limit they cant

[foggy burrow]

Plus bro craters are visual not a part of the actual gameplay

[rigid rover]

dude

a game i worked for

had a game breaking exploit

because of an effect

for when u walk in a bush

[balmy zenith]

could lag/crash players

but really the server should do sanity checks

[foggy burrow]

But they could do the same thing for litterally any thing else

[rigid rover]

yea

[foggy burrow]

Other VFX

Sfx

[rigid rover]

add anticheat

[balmy zenith]

thats why you dont let clients control the server, even visuals

[foggy burrow]

Wait bro what 😭😭😭

Craters are literally on the client

[rigid rover]

client for everyone?

[balmy zenith]

i doubt they can exploit craters tho

[balmy zenith]

client send to server to do crater(once) -> server verifies cooldown -> sends to other clients

thats secure if you have a cooldown

[foggy burrow]

Yes

[balmy zenith]

they can only spawn craters for themselves at infinite speed, which would be pointless

[foggy burrow]

Yeha

My logic is a little different

But yes it’s only on their client

[inland agate]

just do everythingo n the client

[foggy burrow]

The other players would only see the default regular craters

[inland agate]

and make a single player game

[foggy burrow]

I’ve been scripting for 3 years I don’t need to be taught how to handle server client shi

[inland agate]

nah just do everything on the client

[foggy burrow]

All I was just curious was if it was worth creating a mesh pool

And it ain’t

I like the idea tho @balmy zenith

To have a automatic

Clean up system

I mean eventually tho

It would just clean up the whole cache

I could do something where if the cache wasn’t increased in a period of time I could cut it

[balmy zenith]

if it isnt used up, yes
