u gotta use the other method

[bronze path]

what is it

[topaz crypt]

Im tryna figure out the blender method these guys be using now

[topaz crypt]

I just figured out a method now any

[topaz crypt]

Its a method

[sullen temple]

mf says method every 5 minutes

[wheat pumice]

blender method

[tired kelp]

Does MessagingService only communciate between servers if they are both production or studio?

I'm trying to test my code and I have a production & studio server set up, but when pushing messages, they are receiving their own messages only and the other server doesn't get em.

[topaz crypt]

im the method man

[marsh kelp]

Studio and Production servers are different, unless it's a DataStore

[worldly gazelle]

Yall if i wanna make a custom stuff for owners admin and stuff, do say

local guy = gaym.workspice:WaitForChild("guy") or use their id instead for "cleaner" code

[deft coral]

Use their group rank

And use their id if not group rank

The id isnt for cleanliness, its in case they change their username

[glass island]

Guys im new to scripting im normally a moddeler what is the best youtube tutorials to learn scripting

[deft coral]

Psycho killaahhhh

[deft coral]

Idrk i would try robloxs default tutorials first found in their help stuff

[glass island]

Ok! Thanks. How did you learn to script?

[deft coral]

I was self taught, I watched some videos but mostly through experimentation. I intuited a lot of stuff, working with the engine until finally trying to write code and googling errors

[marsh kelp]

I saw many ppl recommend the docs/Roblox official tutorial but do these teach the syntax basics?

[deft coral]

I think their fundamentals one kinda does

I admit im not a huge fan of them, or really like

Any scripting tutorial

Ive seriously considered making my own

[marsh kelp]

True, u mostly have to scrap many sources to fill the gaps :(

[deft coral]

Mhm

This is inspiring me now

May legit make one now

[worldly gazelle]

Understanding code instead of following code is better

[keen ember]

Anyone willing to build a game with me? It will be an rng based around brainrots. Most likely a cash grab. I just need a bit of help in scripts. nth else

[marsh kelp]

U fr?

Don't forget to share it here if u r

[hoary charm]

dm me

[deft coral]

Yeah, i think ill start tomorrow

Its late but

I have a film degree i mean editing and planning videos is kinda my thing

Do u have any suggestions what an episode 1 should cover

My idea is explaining programming as data and procedures and explaining what a game engine is

[balmy zenith]

hat

[deft coral]

Hat

[balmy zenith]

er

idk

steal roblox docs

and regurgitate it

[marsh kelp]

But film making is different than YT, and the difference increases even more for teaching.
I'm not trying to discourage you, but to give u more info, and make u think about it a bit more.

Do u have any suggestions what an episode 1 should cover
Data structures, and the difference between them ( syntax :D )

My idea is explaining programming as data and procedures
Can u explain further?

[balmy zenith]

id say ep 0 introduces roblox and luau

then 1 explains programming in general

the rest is luau basics, plus roblox api/concept

[marsh kelp]

From my experience: the hardest thing I struggled with when I started learning roblox is the syntax and it's rules, even tho I had the basics of C# down.

I found out that ppl who teach Roblox or Unity from on YT, often skip rhe syntax or juet assume that u know what if, function, variable mean, or they just skim through it.

And yes, I had to learn the syntax from other tutorials that teaches only the language ( lua, and c# while making a console )

Holy yapp

[warped cape]

one thing i hate about scripting tutorials is that they miss out on incredibly important things

such as how to prevent exploiting via better remote handling

because i saw a 'advanced' video about remotes and the remote sends how much money to give to the server from the client

which is incredibly stupid

cause i could fire that event to give me 9999 gazillion cash

[marsh kelp]

True, they do skip a few things.
But for this case there's nearly 0 intermediate-advanced tutorials

[deft coral]

I think they need to know what a game engine is and the context in which they're operating prior to even trying to learn abt code is what i mean

[silent summit]

Can someone explain to me the voodoo GPU black magic "Lossless scaling" uses? I'm trying it on roblox right now and I went playing at 5 graphics 30 fps to 10 graphics 60 FPS

[deft coral]

Like its hard to truly learn lua if you dont know what lua is

Why is it a higher level language

Why does roblox use it

What is coding at all

Whats the point of coding etc

[balmy zenith]

ye

[deft coral]

I think conceptual tutorials are missing

[dusky relic]

Wdym, like where the game is rendered at a lower resolution and upscaled?

[deft coral]

Cuz ngl just getting someone to understand what they're looking at makes syntax way easier

[balmy zenith]

i feel like you should sprinkle it in tho, people would get bored/stale if they only listened to concepts or only listened to luau exclusively

[marsh kelp]

Hmmm, i kinda agree? But what ia there to teach about this other than: a game engine is an app to make games? ( I'm serious )

[silent summit]

Yeah looks to be that way, I'm reading their steam page right now

its insane

[balmy zenith]

just a general idea of how a game works

[deft coral]

Once someone grasps coding is just data (memory) and procedures (mutation) the rest kinda just falls into place

[dusky relic]

Pretty sure Nvidia drivers support it

[silent summit]

I'm using an iGPU from an I7-7700

[dusky relic]

Oh damn, so they probably wrote the shader code for it themselves

[marsh kelp]

But doesn’t this part come at the end?
I.E. When they truly learn this they won't be a beginners anymore

[silent summit]

I got no idea what nay of I got no idea what any of this means or does but it just works so damn well

[deft coral]

Its less abt the game engine and moreso like "Roblox is a program compiled from cpp. What is cpp?" Then talk about cpp and why you cant script in it and thus why lua exists, and explain its relationship to the engine, interpreter vs compiler, etc, and then finally get to the actual coding now that they understand the engine is something theyre talking to rather than being totally in control of

Which should make them understand what the engine API is

And thus they're ready to self educate

[balmy zenith]

frame generation is NOT for performance

do not use it for such

it is for making a high fps, even higher

for no reason, or aesthetic reasons

[deft coral]

And smearing ur frame

[balmy zenith]

generating frames reduces your real fps

[silent summit]

But I have frame generation turned off

I'm just using their scaling feature

and its making me play at way higher fps

[balmy zenith]

then its just scaling

which is ok ig

[balmy zenith]

theres plenty of scaling softwares out there

[silent summit]

How does one even cook something like this

[balmy zenith]

and roblox somehow havent implemented built in resolution scaling

[balmy zenith]

its just upscaling

not ai upscaling

[silent summit]

The people who are trying to add dating and refusing to ban off preds, but instead would rather change the UI every week will add a useful feature

[balmy zenith]

yep

[marsh kelp]

Aha, makes sense ( but don't go too much into "What is cpp", to not scare them away )

[deft coral]

Lossless is a scaling algorithm thats defined as zero data loss between start and finish. There are several data types like .png that utilize the lossless algorithms

[balmy zenith]

i wouldnt talk inherently about cpp, but just why roblox uses a high level language and not a low level one like other engines

[silent summit]

Wouldn't sacrificing a bit of data loss lead to more performance

[deft coral]

Thats what i meant

Not literally what cpp is but use it to explain compiling vs interpeting

[deft coral]

Yes and itd look like shit

Dlss be like

[marsh kelp]

Did u read books that teach programming basics? Many of them start with this

[balmy zenith]

i wouldnt even explain interpretation vs compiling tbh

you could briefly ig, not in depth

[marsh kelp]

Why not? It's one of the most basic thing to know

[deft coral]

Its moreso from reflecting on it but i have programming books ive read yeah, i didnt read them starting out though, moreso when i got more serious into it

Like it caught me and the rabbit hole began

[balmy zenith]

so whats the difference between interpretation and compiling, tell me rn
cuz i aint sure myself

[deft coral]

Crafting the interpreter is a good one im still tryna finish

[marsh kelp]

idk for sure, but one is from top to bottom a line by line to the compiler, and the other is the full program to the compiler at once? Something along those lines

[deft coral]

Interpretation is line by line running off of a compiled program/build while compiling is filed turned into machine go by a compiler and is deterministic because its execution is after the process is complete. Interpretation executes as it evals.

[marsh kelp]

Nice, i got it right

[balmy zenith]

so compiling -> goes to machine code
interpretating -> goes to intermediary language -> compiles that intermediary language and run it
?

[deft coral]

Analogy is interpreter is a cook reading the recipe step by step and doing the steps as it does so while compiling is reading it all, memorizing it, and then asking it to cook

Interpreting as a result is easier to debug but non deterministic

[balmy zenith]

ok but how does running line by line work, because its obviously not possible to go literal line by line

[deft coral]

It does

[balmy zenith]

its not compiled in run time right?

or?

[deft coral]

In robloxs example, like Lua,

There is the Lua VM

It runs Lua at runtime

[balmy zenith]

does it not compile to another language before

[deft coral]

Like your code gets replicates into a client and the engine (c++) with the lua VM executes C-associated code per whst you wrote

Its just abstraction

[balmy zenith]

uhh

so basically

a compiled program runs your lua code

[deft coral]

Scripting was literally invented to not deal with actually writing cpp

[deft coral]

Yes at runtime

[balmy zenith]

instead of running a compiled program directly

[deft coral]

Yes

This makes it 10x-100x slower btw

[balmy zenith]

ye

how does native luau work then 🤔

[marsh kelp]

That's why Unity errors before the game starts, and roblox doesnt?

[balmy zenith]

does it just compile lua to cpp then compile the cpp

[marsh kelp]

Nvm, stupid question

[balmy zenith]

unity compiles instantly, roblox can do same if it runs the code so ig yeah

you get errors on compile in compiled langs
you get errors on run in interpreted langs
i think

[deft coral]

It has to do with the VM and bytecode but here

"Instead of the usual process where scripts are compiled from source to bytecode for the bytecode to be interpreted, we augment the compilation step to take some of the functions in the scripts and compile them further into native code (x86-64 or AArch64 based on whether you’re running Studio on an Intel/AMD or ARM CPU). This eliminates the interpreter overhead and allows us to do deeper optimizations, which makes the code run faster."

• roblox staff on forum

Basically its cutting corners where it recognizes it can

[marsh kelp]

That's actually pretty fun to think about

[deft coral]

No it goes to bytecode and that gets interpreted

Wait it didnt do the reply

[balmy zenith]

uh

so luau compiles to bytecode
and bytecode is interpreted

is bytecode cross platform?

im guessing yes

as its abstract operations

[deft coral]

yes

Its also more importantly read by the virtual machine

Thats kind of the big thing here

[balmy zenith]

wait so native is theoretically the same speed as a compiled lang?

[deft coral]

In theory, im not terribly sure

The native stuff is a luau specific advancement

How they're exactly doing it beyond that description i found, i am unsure

[eager yew]

does any1 here know how much work it takes to program a website

[sharp gull]

6 or 7

[balmy zenith]

ye but native means it compiles to machine code, just like a compiled language does yeah?

[eager yew]

6

[deft coral]

Likely yes going by how they described it

They mention though its specific functions and iirc

Its only very specific math-only stuff

Like api calls dont count

[balmy zenith]

yeah

probably just built in luau stuff

[deft coral]

Yeah

Cuz if you remove the VM from having to do it then that lets them have more control and its plainly faster

[balmy zenith]

which well, for anything performance critical, you shouldnt be using any roblox api lol

[deft coral]

Yeah lol

Realizing they may just ne doing luajit

Be*

[balmy zenith]

dont think so

jit is like the last option they have

[sharp gull]

luajit

[balmy zenith]

actually maybe not

but jit isnt applicable to all platforms so

[warped cape]

how the fu do i get rid of this

maybe --!strict ain't for me

[warped cape]

depends

on how much you want done

[quaint crane]

guys W idea?

[misty tree]

what

[warped cape]

probably some document about a generic game idea

[misty tree]

oh

[wheat pumice]

no lol

it converts the luau ast into native machine code

[wheat pumice]

they are doing jit

well, similar approach. its pre-compiled

[wheat pumice]

they have the most common archs implemented already

[balmy zenith]

so not jit

just normal aot

[wheat pumice]

if all of the code gets natively compiled and it doesnt have to fallback to the VM, yes

[balmy zenith]

which are?

x86?

[wheat pumice]

x86, x64, arm iirc

lemme check

[balmy zenith]

ah

im guessing they did it for luau, not specifically roblox?

so ppl using luau can make code real fast

although is it unsafe? as its directly machine code?

[wheat pumice]

its not unsafe

and no, its specifically made for roblox

X86_64 and Arm64

[balmy zenith]

so luau doesnt support it?

[wheat pumice]

luau is still mainly a roblox focused language

[wheat pumice]

it does

[balmy zenith]

why support these unless their server are based on these? is it for future usage?

[wheat pumice]

but most big features that get implemented in luau are for roblox

[balmy zenith]

yeah ofc

but still useful to those just using luau

[wheat pumice]

no? most clients use x86_64 or arm64

i believe 32 bit arm isnt even supported by roblox anymore

and 32 bit x86 obviously isnt

[balmy zenith]

but they dont support native for clients currently

[wheat pumice]

they do

[balmy zenith]

since when

[wheat pumice]

via a fflag

[balmy zenith]

well ofc

[wheat pumice]

as its still very experimental

[balmy zenith]

its possible to use it on client, but not live

studio supports it

i think

[wheat pumice]

clients too, via a fflag

[balmy zenith]

they are planning to release it for clients in guessing

[wheat pumice]

but they're planning to roll it out to Live sooner or later

[balmy zenith]

does it support all/most platforms?

[wheat pumice]

arm64 and x86_64

[slow drift]

im p sure you have to do
local var: Humanoid? = char.Humanoid
if not var then return end

[balmy zenith]

is that most mobiles and pcs

[wheat pumice]

yes

most mobiles use arm64

[balmy zenith]

what isnt those 2

[warped cape]

it's fine, that also does not work

[wheat pumice]

old intels are x86_32, old phones are arm32, theres also PPC devices, but roblox doesnt run on ppc either way. Im not sure what arch mac is ising nowadays

[main sorrel]

char : any

[warped cape]

it's fine now

Looking for scripter willing to code ui logic for 33% profits. were working on a cashgrab brainrot rng. dm me need urgent scripter

[warped cape]

if i were to do num1, num2 = math.random(1,10) would num1 and num2 be the same?

[wheat pumice]

no

mim2 would be nil

[warped cape]

oh 🙁

[wheat pumice]

as math.random only returns one result

[warped cape]

that should be a luau feature

[wheat pumice]

no, thats just bad syntax

[warped cape]

oh

[wheat pumice]

if a function returns 2 args, how would it decide what to do

[warped cape]

i'm saying that if it detects 2 variables set to 1 function, it should repeat the function twice and set the variable to each one

so num1, num2 = math.random(1,10) could be read by the interpreter as num1, num2 = math.random(1,10), math.random(1,10)

and then if you want num2 to be nil, then just state it

[keen ember]

hi

[balmy zenith]

that is way too niche feature, especially for luau

lua/luau implements features that can be used VERY widely

Hi, I have a problem. I put a frame to the right where the mobiles used to move their camera. The problem is that they can no longer move their camera while the frame is not visible and I deactivated the active option.

( and its a canvagroup )

[trim frost]

okay programmers, what workflow would you go through to achieve a movement system similiar to this? is this something to do with motors? each step connects with the ground almost like IK but I believe its some kind of motor control

Im just looking for an idea of how to go about it

[fair copper]

i think this is either animation or using IK with targets and raycasts

if the leg is divided/ cut up, its most probably just IK targets and raycasting

[inland agate]

https://gyazo.com/963efd97d330808f88adfdbffcf825cb how do I fix this and make it face the player?

[fair copper]

very good

great for optimization

[urban dawn]

how to get how many players are playing a specific place under an experience

[shut sorrel]

It doesn't look like IK or FK is used at all( based on the way it rotates standing still), just pure animations and using animation blending of weights, motor6d is being adjusted based on movement inputs, could be using align orientation to rotate the rig too and some other constraint like vector force to move it forward and backwards

[deft coral]

Its individual animations, the torso animations independent of the legs.

[wraith shadow]

When you lowk good dev but money be holding yo ass back

[deft coral]

nintendo never said that

[trim frost]

Got you. Wasn't sure if it was purely animations or something else entirely. Thank you for the input

[trim frost]

Trade work for work. I do that quite a bit. I give 3D models in exchange for programming work on my projects

[wraith shadow]

Fair shyt man but the problem is i alr do that shi

Its just that my skills aint known by many so they always say no

[trim frost]

Ah. You definitely have to build a portfolio and contacts. It's easy for me because a lot of developers have already worked with me directly

does anyone know why when I published my game (on my account like not in a group or anything), maturity is good, its published on studio, and everything like that, it doesn't show up under creations and for some reason, and when i play it, it doesn't show up in my recently played? This only started happening like within the last 1-2 days, before that it was always fine?

[primal heart]

how do i detect if someone is using a roblox emote?

[iron vigil]

Potentially but it’s more of a passion project honestly

[iron vigil]

create a local script in StarterPlayerScripts

paste this code

while true do
Instance.new(“part”)
end

should work!

[primal heart]

why r people useless dawg

atleast reply with something helpful

[misty tree]

does having a space inbetween print and () matter?

or not

[iron vigil]

yeah

[misty tree]

why

[iron vigil]

print() is a built in function. It operates like any normal function

[misty tree]

ok

what about print ()

[iron vigil]

what about it

[misty tree]

what

[iron vigil]

it’s print()

[misty tree]

im asking if it matters if theres a space inbetween

[iron vigil]

yes it does

[misty tree]

im new to scripting so i mcurious

why

they both print so

[iron vigil]

oh? I’ve lowkey never tried that so I just assumed

[misty tree]

ah

[iron vigil]

Anyway, it’s just best practice to do print()

[misty tree]

alr preesh anyways

u right

[iron vigil]

functions are always function(), so just follow suit

[misty tree]

alr

one more thing

is there a way to fast travel out of this stupid ah () without pressing my arrow key every time

[iron vigil]

Why would you want to do that

what is the point of typing out the print function if you’re not gonna print anything

[misty tree]

thats not hwat i mean

everytime i use a parenthesis i have to use my arrow keys to get out of the end one

is there a way to not click my arrow keys each time

[iron vigil]

just use parenthesis again

has anybody else been having issues w ordered datastores?

when i call on them to return like, 10 slots

it lags so hard i get 0fps for like a second

[zealous crystal]

its a bit high

look at other games f9

similar games to urs for reference

but the average is like 300 i believe

[jolly stratus]

j

[balmy zenith]

???

as in the graphics texture? cuz total is at least 1000

[misty tree]

guys i started coding around yesterday or less

could i get feedback on a code i write for a part?

[pure wind]

just send

[light niche]

A plot based game?

[misty tree]

local partScript = game.Workspace.Part2
local function math2()
if partScript.Material == "Mud" then
task.wait(15)

end
end

math2()
math2()
math2()
math2()
math2()

its nothing much but im js trying around

[pure wind]

pretty good man

[iron kraken]

my feedback is to use more functions u could prob turn that one function into multiple functions that do a simple easily understood thing from just looking at the function name
also why do u have math.wait(2) then math.wait(15) right after it instead of just math.wait(17)

[inner aurora]

??

[fair copper]

like framework modules

you'd just reference to the init or whatever and use all its dependencies

in the game

lol

[azure granite]

arent those kinda hard to make

[foggy fiber]

does AnimTrack = nil remove the Animationtrack from the game?

[sturdy stag]

w roblox

[fair copper]

Not really, ur just gonna be making ur own self contained modules

And it doesnt have to perfect right off the bat lol

[somber vault]

bug i tried to fix for 5 hours was caused by me forgetting to index a table with the player's id im crashing out

[grand steeple]

so I got a badge playing my game in studio - but I thought that isn't supposed to work no?

[tall trail]

You gotta make your systems modular. For instance, I have a playerdata system that is easily reusable in other projects. It saves, validates, and updates all player data

[exotic comet]

I don't understand the second suggestion

[modern seal]

@balmy zenith i js replaced an in pairs looop with i=i+1 ✨💕🐝🕊️💫

mmso proud of m seelf am learning

bites you

[zealous crystal]

no

[urban sonnet]

pretty sure it would be hard searching for builders in code discussion

[foggy fiber]

so how do i do it

[zealous crystal]

wdym by removing animationtrack from the game tho

[foggy fiber]

cuz im getting some 256 animationtrack limit

[zealous crystal]

u shouldnt

[foggy fiber]

how do u GC it

[zealous crystal]

thats might be an issue, fix what causes it

if u really need 256 different animationtracks, use animationtrack:Destroy()

[foggy fiber]

oh so Destroy() works?

someone said it didnt

[zealous crystal]

I think so.. try it

[twin basin]

[foggy fiber]

how do i know if it works 🙏🏻

nvm

ok

[spice crow]

does someone have any mobile ide for luau

theres only lua

[storm hare]

how much do you think it would cost in robux to have someone make 20 slap gloves and script it?

[hot copper]

No good scripter is gonna accept robux payment

Besides me

jokes aside prob like idk 10-20k

[storm hare]

okay thank you

[visual vector]

can anyone help me out

[zealous crystal]

how u gonna code on mobile

[spare granite]

No good scripter?

I see a lot accept robux

[hot copper]

Cause they only accept sigma coins

[spare granite]

Dang

[spice crow]

ez

[winter whale]

hi guys mb for asking this low iq question but in ur experience
did you follow spaced repetition or active learning to learn scripting?

[deft coral]

Thats mb

Dumb telling u that

I for some reason thought :Destroy() was from PVInstance

But its just Instance cuz why wouldn't it be

[sonic burrow]

how do yall handle reading transfering data from place to place, using teleportation service or data stores? i cant seem to get the data store way

[hot copper]

thats actually a high IQ question cause this is a shitposting channel

i dont even know what both of those thing are

just practice everyday

[shy timber]

Anyone know how to script drop mechanic

[sullen temple]

no it's larp

they're memorizing techniques

ur not memorizing anything in scripting

[bronze path]

By place to place, you mean different games or different places under one game?

• For obvious reasons, game A can't access game B's data stores directly. It's intentionally universe-specific. Best way would be through an external database. If you tried to use something like GetLocalPlayerTeleportData or GetJoinData to handle this, it wouldn't be 100% secure. Reasons are outlined on the documentation.

• Data stores are still accessible among the different places of one game. If something is going wrong with this, you're definitely doing something wrong and you could start by showing some code snippets on how you access it

You're right
I meant to write one way, idk why I said best

[sonic burrow]

basically im creating a main menu for my game. After choosing a slot I need to pass on certian stats such as race, lvl etc. I know about teleport service but as u said its not secure and i want my data to be safe from exploiters

[bronze path]

Answer this ^ / Why exactly does creating a main menu w/ slots need you to transfer it between diff games?

[sonic burrow]

its a place inside the game

not a tottaly diffrent game

[bronze path]

Save it to a data store and access the data store with the same name from both places

[sonic burrow]

thats it?

[lean ocean]

yes

[sonic burrow]

just acces the data store from a place ?

[bronze path]

Yea ^

[sonic burrow]

dang i thought it was way more complicated than that

[sly sinew]

its not

[sly sinew]

its the same way if you use profileservice too

[sonic burrow]

hmm well i have lots of things to learn then

[sly sinew]

its not really complicated

[lone heath]

can any1 help me with changing animations

[sly sinew]

wdym

like player animations?

[silent summit]

Should I get into threads?

[charred ruin]

definitely spaced

[tight hearth]

I need help.

Someone made one of my systems with typescript.

Is there anyone here who is familiar

[lone heath]

yeah walking falling jumping ect.

i did the animate script thing

and i changed the id and all and it didnt work

then i asked chat gpt to make me a script and it didnt work

then i asked gemini and it still didnt work

this is my only hope

[proud sail]

Try and study what it is AI gave you. It's usually heading in the correct direction, but doesn't always compile. Have made sure the script is even running in Roblox Studio?

[lone heath]

yeah it is running

[leaden wolf]

why are we expecting chatgpt to produce actual functional code

[lone heath]

im not

i just expected it to atleast make animations work 😭

[proud sail]

Cool. So you have a print statement or something showing that it's trying to switch animations? print what the animation currently is and print what animation your switching to, just to make sure the data is correct. Or, place breakpoints and step through the code yourself

[leaden wolf]

send the code

praying this isn't gonna be a txt file

animations are genuinely the most inconsistent thing to debug

it can be anything essentially

[lone heath]

well i cant send the msg cuz its too long

[leaden wolf]

😭

[proud sail]

I haven't even seen a screenshot of the script, so I'm only assuming they're trying to change the animation that's playing. You can, at least, confirm they're valid animations when debugging.

Take a screenshot of the code that's suppose to execute the animation swap.

[leaden wolf]

okay so you've ever debugged before? @lone heath

[lone heath]

i can do .txt tho 😭

im not that good at scripting ngl

[leaden wolf]

well everyone starts somewhere

so

[lone heath]

true

im watching a begginers guide rn and i can make some code my self

[leaden wolf]

do you know what line is supposed to run to make the animation swap or play or whatever you're tryna do

[proud sail]

Whelp, you gotta learn dawg! 🙂 Open the file and place a breakpoint in the code, and step through.

[lone heath]

but most of the code i want is hard

[lone heath]

not rly

[proud sail]

OMG, we can't even share links in here?

[lone heath]

maybe like this?

walkAnimation.AnimationId = CUSTOM_ANIMATION_IDS.Walk

[leaden wolf]

might be locked behind some level requirement

[proud sail]

https:// create.roblox.com /docs/studio/debugging

[leaden wolf]

no

[lone heath]

dam

[dusky relic]

https:// create.roblox.com/docs/studio/debugging

[leaden wolf]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/studio/debugging

[junior thicket]

Are you trying to replace the default Roblox animations or do something else with animations? I think a little more context could be useful

[lone heath]

btw this is dumb to ask but erm..... whats debugging

[leaden wolf]

it's removing bugs

[proud sail]

walkAnimation.AnimationId = CUSTOM_ANIMATION_IDS.Walk - Okay, so what I'm saying is, at minumum, print out what the current animationId is, then print you Walk animationId you're trying to reassign, so you can be sure it's all valid.

Sudo Code:

print("current anim id: {walkAnimation.AnimationId}")
walkAnimation.AnimationId = CUSTOM_ANIMATION_IDS.Walk
print("new anim id: {walkAnimation.AnimationId}")

If you learn to debug your code, it'll be much easier than print statements.

[lone heath]

oh alr

[leaden wolf]

@lone heath basically if your code aint working you debug to see where it stops working the way you want it to and then fix that

[junior thicket]

Yeah its just checking through your code to either remove bugs or pinpoint whats happening where if values are playing up etc

[leaden wolf]

but that's more difficult when you haven't made the code yourself

[proud sail]

Debugging isn't just removing bugs. It essentially pauses your program on a specific line and let's you analyze the data in your variables, at the time the program is paused. You can step through the program (game), line by line, to slowly make sure things are functioning as you expect them.

[leaden wolf]

that's breakpoints

[proud sail]

Which is part of the debugging process.

[leaden wolf]

debugging is essentially identifying bugs

[proud sail]

Not true 🙂

[leaden wolf]

that's like saying corn is the definition of vegetables

[proud sail]

Whelp... I think my ~13 years of software engineering experience, particularly in game development, would say otherwise.

[random nebula]

wow really

[leaden wolf]

the process of identifying and removing errors from computer hardware or software.
oxford dictionary

[leaden wolf]

man with 13 years of experience says otherwise

[random nebula]

nobody believing this

[proud sail]

click the link I shared. It literally talks about breakpoints in the debugging section. that's from roblox.

[leaden wolf]

yeah again that's like saying corn is the definition of vegetables??? hello???

[wise turtle]

pandaproper is the new rasko alt

[leaden wolf]

breakpoints are debugging, debugging isn't breakpoints

ragebait in it's peak

[proud sail]

So now we're arguing over semantics instead of helping the person who needed help 😄 Whenever I tell my team "I'm debugging some code to find a problem" they know, 100%, that I'm stepping through the code and "debugging" it.

[random nebula]

you dont have a team

[dusky relic]

God you're insufferable

[proud sail]

lmao, okay guy

[leaden wolf]

you should consider a new career❤️

[proud sail]

anyways, where is the dude who needed help.

[random nebula]

yk u can debug without a debugger

[leaden wolf]

debugging?

[proud sail]

You can 😄 with print statements. huge PITA

[dusky relic]

This actually funny

[leaden wolf]

holy larp

[proud sail]

I know some good web devs, thank you very much. But I'm not that.

[random nebula]

print statements are fine most of them time especially when ur compiler is fast

or u program in a way to reduce bugs

[wise turtle]

sango and pandaproper are the 2 biggest larp developers

[dusky relic]

Sango legit

Wdym

[proud sail]

Anyways, man. I suggest you learn how to debug. It'll help you a ton, especially if you're relying on AI to help you code things up.

[wise turtle]

sango needs to post a repo first

[leaden wolf]

where is artofcoding when you need him

[proud sail]

I mean... I don't need to prove anything. I was just trying to help someone. No way I'm doxxing myself to prove I know how to code. 🤣

[leaden wolf]

?

telling us your address isn't gonna make us believe you can code

[dusky relic]

This guy types like AI

[proud sail]

Oh, oaky. Convo is over. Cool with me.

[lone heath]

alright thanks

[dusky relic]

13 years of experiences

[proud sail]

I'm old. I know 😕

[charred ruin]

if you have 13 yoe you wouldnt be on the internet anymore

[proud sail]

what? lmao

[charred ruin]

after 13 years youd go schizophrenic and become the unabomber or never touch a computer again

so this makes me think for the majority of those years you havent done much

[proud sail]

oooooh. gotcha. makes sense

[leaden wolf]

@proud sail what other experience do you have?

[proud sail]

wydm? I've programmed since I graduated college.

[leaden wolf]

also your about me said 5 years of experience prior to you removing it just a bit ago, was that accidental?

[proud sail]

uhh, you must have been lookin at something esle cuz my about me doesn't have anything in it

[leaden wolf]

your hand slipped?

[dusky relic]

Mans 31yo

[leaden wolf]

[charred ruin]

thats not an IDE

[proud sail]

I use VSCode for Roblox.

[leaden wolf]

more a text editor

[dusky relic]

@proud sail !!!

[proud sail]

Lmao, now I'm being interrogated? I've work in Java, C#, C++, Kotlin, Golang. Now lua cuz I'm messing around with Roblox.

[leaden wolf]

man asked a simple question

[wise turtle]

@frail yarrow skid check pls

[dusky relic]

What's your experience with C++, How'd you rate yourself on a scale of 1-10

[proud sail]

I was kidding 😉

[leaden wolf]

skidding*

[proud sail]

prob a 4. It's not my main language.

maybe a 5

[dusky relic]

@proud sail What version are you most proficient in?

[proud sail]

As opposed to "go"?

Sure, but most people wont know go or golang, so might as well use the proper name in case someone wants to google it.

[dusky relic]

...

Go is insanely popular wdym

[charred ruin]

he knows java and kotlin so i'll give him the benefit of the doubt

[proud sail]

There are novices in here, so I was thinking of them. You experienced devs would know, sure.

[proud sail]

Go is better, tho 🙂

[charred ruin]

yeah go is nice

java is dead now

back then it was everyone raving about it being the C++ killer

[proud sail]

It's still used tho! Kotlin is build on top of the JVM still 🙂

[dusky relic]

@proud sail Are you a Software Engineer 🤔

[wise turtle]

my friend's dad said C++ is dying, rust is some overrated trash and go is the best

[charred ruin]

yeah but lost alot of its traction

[charred ruin]

go was meant to be a better c++

[dusky relic]

Your friends dad is not very smart, please don't listen to them for the future

[proud sail]

Rust is super efficient, from what I've been told. It's just a huge PITA to write with.

[wise turtle]

hes a 10x engineer

[dusky relic]

[charred ruin]

he knows what hes talking about honestly

rust is a hypetrain right now i doubt anyone is actually venturing with it despite the bandwagon

go is underrated

[dusky relic]

The fact that you're saying 10x engineer is more than enough for me to know that he isn't

[charred ruin]

compared to rust, definitely not

[wise turtle]

his linkedin

[proud sail]

I interviewed at a game studio that was using rust (they didn't hire me), but it was def. an interesting chat.

[charred ruin]

ive never heard someone say "im learning go", they all say "im learning rust"

[wise turtle]

go is pretty popular in china

[charred ruin]

sure, doesnt make it not overrated

[proud sail]

Go is pretty dope. You can stand up a rest server in Go in like 10 lines of code or something.

[leaden wolf]

watch like one firebase video and you're all set on go

[dusky relic]

For beginners in the way of memory safety yes

[charred ruin]

also because ive never seen a junior with go on their techstack

[proud sail]

Rust is def. not a language for beginners. At least, I'd never recommend it.

[dusky relic]

Yes...?

It is ...

[proud sail]

Not if you're learning. Don't worry about mem stomping. Just worry about learning 🙂

[random nebula]

by that logic neither is vsc

[charred ruin]

yeah its not

[leaden wolf]

apple fixes dozens of kernel bugs every year on their prod😭 almost no code is safe

[random nebula]

safe rust is like 99.99% memory safe

[proud sail]

Which is what makes it such a PITA. It's very safe, but not a beginner language.

[random nebula]

disagree

there was some study that showed beginners learn rust faster than experienced programmers

[primal jacinth]

Does anyone here code html?

[proud sail]

I'd def. be interesting in reading that if you have a link. Maybe cuz they're not oldheads stuck in their ways 🤣

[charred ruin]

because the experienced ones had to to deal with manual allocations and unsafe code

[random nebula]

its cuz the experienced ones have skill issue in writing good code

[wise turtle]

my goat arseny said rust is trash

[random nebula]

the borrow checker isnt even difficult, if ur writing good code ur never gonna fight it

[random nebula]

arseny is a fraud

[proud sail]

eeeech, I dunno about that. I'd like you to say that to some of the engineers I work with 😄 😄 😄 That's be an interesting discussion.

[wise turtle]

proof

[random nebula]

buddy u dont work with anyone

[proud sail]

ur right

[wise turtle]

no i asked first

[random nebula]

he said if he used rust he couldnt reach performance goals

[charred ruin]

its a good language but on a crazy bandwagon

[random nebula]

its the best systems lang rn

[dusky relic]

Most people that say they know a language or are experienced in it are usually just not

[proud sail]

I mean, each language has its' own purpose. There will never be a one size fits all programming language 😕

[charred ruin]

the ecosystem is still dogmatic

[wise turtle]

ariel would reach performance goals successfully

theres gonna be a surplus of rust devs

who do you think theyre gonna pick to hire

its not gonna be the ones on the bandwagon its gonna be the elitists whove been apart of rust since the beginning

[wise turtle]

c++ bytecode is real

[charred ruin]

its concerning if youre only learning rust because its rust, and not because you enjoy its features

[leaden wolf]

this is why i'm not learning rust

[proud sail]

learn C++ and you can go jump into unreal engine 🙂 or C# and you can use unity

[charred ruin]

that's you, right now the rust people are just very dogmatic about how their language is superior

[leaden wolf]

i'm satisfied with pygame

[charred ruin]

now theres an influx of people who dont really know the language learning it because they think its the silver bullet

[proud sail]

big rip to them. no silver bullet. everything has strengths and weaknesses.

i ❤️ roblox

[proud sail]

I just started trying to make my first game like a week ago. Don't know if I love it or hate it, yet. I definitely wasn't enjoying UEFN and Verse, tho.

[crimson drum]

If i have a game with multiple places and I want to use some of my modules from the original place would I just copy and paste it into the new place or is there a way to share it

[fair copper]

why does roblox do weird shit and suddenly make my scripts not work

🥀

[marsh kelp]

Packages

[bronze path]

you could use packages (the roblox feature) to make a container that's published to one place update in the rest

what some dev said^

[marsh kelp]

what makingart4ever said ^

[wise turtle]

roblox packages being mid is why i switched to fully managed rojo

[marsh kelp]

Huh, how would Rojo replace packages?

[wise turtle]

for asset management

for scripts you would just have different project jsons

which i was already doing

w partially managed

[marsh kelp]

oh, so the json will point to the same path, for different places
Nice

[marsh kelp]

But u need to open the place to sync the scripts, right? ( Rojo doesn't access the place unless opened it in studio? )

[leaden wolf]

what's the benefit of using rojo?? (except version management)
why would i want two explorers

[wise turtle]

i have a lune script that builds a rbxl for me automatically based on the project json im choosing

and opens studio

[leaden wolf]

isn't that confusing asf

[wise turtle]

and syncs rojo

[marsh kelp]

I mostly use it for git

[leaden wolf]

understandable i suppose

but what about if i have a script inside a part

how does that work

what does the file structure look like

[marsh kelp]

That's an entire new world

[iron kraken]

u odnt rlly want scripts inside parts but i think u would have to manually add it into a file or add it with another script

[marsh kelp]

I think Rojo will create the script inside a Folder named "part" and let u change it normally
but tbh I wouldn't do this if I were u ( creating scripts inside of parts, even without Rojo )

[leaden wolf]

i'm aware😭

but okay

sick

how does it know if it's a localscript, script or script with runcontext set? other properties?? metadata or what

[marsh kelp]

U don't need to use it if u don't want to, but just keep it in mind for when u need it

[bronze path]

file extension and there's all the info about that on the rojo website

[leaden wolf]

nono i'm just curious

[leaden wolf]

aight mb

[bronze path]

https://rojo.space/docs/v7/sync-details/#overview

[marsh kelp]

the firs script :D

[leaden wolf]

cool asf

[proud sail]

scriptName .client.lua or .server.lua will tell rojo what type of script it is. You also use a .package.json to define which files in src will map to Roblox Studio file structure.

... and taht's as far as I understand Rojo with my 1 weeks worth of experience.

[marsh kelp]

I'm curious, How old are u? Mr.with 13 years of software engineering experience

[proud sail]

Old 🙂 old enough to be referred to as "unc" in your slang.

[neon walrus]

sorry, I live under a bunch of rocks stacked on top of each other

[bronze path]

so you're dorming with patrick star?

how it's like

[proud sail]

In Roblox? I don't do much of anything yet. I've only just started exploring it for about a week. But even then, I do it after they go to bed and sometimes I just want to game (Apex Legends) 🙂 So very limited time spent on Roblox learning.

[leaden wolf]

it's dj khaled saying "life has roadblocks"

[neon walrus]

outside of roblox

[proud sail]

Ah. I'm a backend engineer, by trade.

[neon walrus]

i see

[wise turtle]

you should've joined https://quenty.org/oss/conduct instead of here tbh

[neon walrus]

you can dm me anytime if you would like to know abt ui designing in roblox

[proud sail]

Is that a good place to learn? I've run into some toxic folks here, already. This was just day 1 😄

[vapid wedge]

How do I draw

[wise turtle]

yes

[proud sail]

ty!

[wise turtle]

this is not a good server and when im here im mostly ragebaiting as well 💔

[neon walrus]

UI designing does not involve drawing in most cases, but you can use apps like krita, ibis paint or procreate to make hand drawn assets

[leaden wolf]

ragebaiting is the back bone of hd

[wise turtle]

@some dev did u watch the vid i sent

[vapid wedge]

That's not how pings work

[wise turtle]

shush

it almost worked

[neon walrus]

I am basically the best UI designer in this channel right now

[fair copper]

what can i add to this editing interaction

[neon walrus]

i should set up a permanent camp here

[fair copper]

except the ui, its placeholder

[neon walrus]

2/10 ui

[leaden wolf]

no shame😭

[fair copper]

ye i told u its placeholder

aint paying ui guy for every change

[marsh kelp]

ooo, this looks pretty cool, u just convinced me to try it

[vapid wedge]

Excluding the placeholder UI, remove the delay between clicking a button and the avatar actually changing by preloading assets

[proud sail]

If it's still "in dev" it's fine 🙂

[neon walrus]

i will give u a discount frfr

[fair copper]

hmm preloading yeah

[wise turtle]

i also use mantle which lets u deploy w cli commands

[proud sail]

Just make it yourself 🙂 Then you don't gotta pay nothin!

[leaden wolf]

i'd say make it rotate just dragging the character itself, not using a slider

[fair copper]

i should get better preloading boot

[fair copper]

its in the plans but im just using the slider rn

i could make it like

slider invisible

[neon walrus]

sm people are tryna make a living here

[vapid wedge]

...Alternatively you could open up Roblox Studio and paste the for i, v loop inside the command bar

[leaden wolf]

bonus if you make it velocity based

[fair copper]

and make it work within a transparent frame

[proud sail]

Haha, my bad my bad

[fair copper]

o yeah good idea idea

some velocity

[wise turtle]

ur skidding

sorry

[vapid wedge]

Why do people treat Roblox Studio like the plague and avoid it by any means neccessary

[marsh kelp]

Nah, this looks cooler and faster

[bronze path]

It's a code example, lune is probably not used for simple things like that

[cunning fable]

howd u make this

[neon walrus]

it is pretty bad from what i ahve heard

[fair copper]

wym

[neon walrus]

i mean they could make it so much better

[fair copper]

what part of how

[leaden wolf]

i make my own rbxls just editing the bytes

[marsh kelp]

and with this u don't even need to touch Roblox studio to run your script in the Place

[vapid wedge]

Can we define what a skid is again
The definition has lost its original meaning

[wise turtle]

a paster

[fair copper]

ai coder

[proud sail]

a skid mark?

[marsh kelp]

ppl with cat pfp

[leaden wolf]

ctrl+a, click anchor in the model tab

[marsh kelp]

k do it without opening studio

[wise turtle]

my lune usecase https://streamable.com/xqm3vi @vapid wedge

[leaden wolf]

do your code stuff without using lune

[wise turtle]

useful esp for multi place games

[neon walrus]

except u

[marsh kelp]

NO, I'm the biggest skid

[proud sail]

I have no idea what anyone is talking about anymore.... must be my age.

[neon walrus]

look around, u are the least skid here

[leaden wolf]

you'll get it as you learn

[marsh kelp]

Nah that's something beyond Roblox studio

[marsh kelp]

or offline editing

[wise turtle]

yaeh

[leaden wolf]

roblox studio not being available offline is just a joke honestly

[marsh kelp]

• forced updates

[leaden wolf]

script kid, someone who uses other's scripts and think they're the shit

[vapid wedge]

Okay that's the original meaning

Now how does that tie into what I said

[leaden wolf]

ion know

[marsh kelp]

Have u tried Argon? what do u think of it?

[wise turtle]

i have not tried it

i don't see a reason to switch to it either

alrdy got rojo syncback fully work

[marsh kelp]

Hmmm, I'm trying to find a reason to switch back to Rojo

[leaden wolf]

there is intellisense when you use rojo right

[wise turtle]

rojo is just a file sync tool

[leaden wolf]

well is there an extension for it

[wise turtle]

for intellisense? yes

[fair copper]

i just code in white background roblox studio

[leaden wolf]

thank god

[fair copper]

👍

[marsh kelp]

Evil

[neon walrus]

ok so let me tell u guys what drop shadow is

drop shadow is basically an effect that can be seen behind your element

[fair copper]

no

[neon walrus]

like a shadow

u guys wouldnt know

[bronze path]

Don't fall for the ragebait cuz youll often get a mix of normal and baity responses here
Some replies here js wont make sense, thats why u ignore them

[fair copper]

i know

[neon walrus]

lies

[fair copper]

[neon walrus]
