thats impressive

[leaden wolf]

absolutely😭

[neon walrus]

didnt even get into top 3 💔

i was like 5th or smth

[fair copper]

i got like good grades then i got in a relationship

ehem

[neon walrus]

(i thought i was gonna get 90% or smth)

[fair copper]

📉

[neon walrus]

damn

[fair copper]

📉

[neon walrus]

i m not even in a relationship then why am i experiencing this downfall

[fair copper]

cuz ur chopped

its fine th

[neon walrus]

i m gonna give u my 21 robux if my test goes well today

my precious 21 robux

[fair copper]

thanks

[neon walrus]

so start praying

sell your soul or smth to make it happen

[fair copper]

i will get like 0.07 cents for it

👍

[neon walrus]

jasoniian. you should go in #interface

since i came here

[fair copper]

no

[neon walrus]

yes

u would be the best scripter there

think abt it

[fair copper]

good point

🤔

[neon walrus]

just do it for the laughs

[fair copper]

no thnx

[neon walrus]

bummer

[neon walrus]

not ragebait

it would have been silly

where is pandaproper

[proud sail]

sorry, bugzz in my work-code.

[neon walrus]

they are not even talking abt ui in there, weirdos

dont tell them i said that tho

[fair copper]

i spent 5 hours fixing this one bug that was wiping my player data

🥀

[neon walrus]

wow

get good

[fair copper]

yeah

[neon walrus]

coming from a ui designer btw

[fair copper]

ig

[proud sail]

many times have I done this.

[fair copper]

and it wasnt even something complex, it was just copying default empty data thats setup for newplayers usually

into old player data

🥀

[neon walrus]

let me flex my work here

[fair copper]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[fair copper]

ur the best ui designer in #code-discussion

I just spent an hour wondering my stuff wasn't working and realized my perforce CL was shelved, so the code just wasn't there. But now I have a new issue... I think someone else code commit has affected my stuff.

[fair copper]

got the cframes wrong sir

[neon walrus]

2/10 UI

[patent sonnet]

its a hood game

its supposed to be generic

[neon walrus]

still a 2/10 ui, hire me

[patent sonnet]

you do anime stuff

[neon walrus]

I can do most styles

[patent sonnet]

its supposed to be basic

because people who play hood games have pea brains

[fair copper]

i believe its due to other programmers not being familiar with ur commit

[neon walrus]

insulting ur players like that is crazy

[fair copper]

i avoid getting any more scripters other than me but this is only possible when working solo

🥀

[neon walrus]

imma go to #sound tomorrow

be the best ui designer there

[fair copper]

are u aiming for mod

[neon walrus]

then after that

another chanell

channel*

[fair copper]

yo wait

i actually like some of ur ui

thats awkwar

awkward

[neon walrus]

i wasnt saying shit for no reason

[proud sail]

Hah. Naw, my stuff is WIP. It might not be anyoens fault by my own. I usually default to it being my fault until I can 100% prove otherwise.

[neon walrus]

i m decent

intermediate

[fair copper]

u said u develop games, what engines have u worked on

or rather what platform are the games u deal with

[fair copper]

yeah the uis are cool cool

u wanna do some pro bono work

jk

[neon walrus]

wdym

[bronze path]

ok mike ross

[proud sail]

I've worked in Unity and UE5. I'm primarily a backend engineer so I don't jump super deep into client stuff/code.

[fair copper]

LOLOL

[fair copper]

it basically means free of charge work

[neon walrus]

right

[fair copper]

WATCH SUITS

[neon walrus]

nah i m good 😭

[fair copper]

shit so ur a frameworks guy

i like that

👍 👍

[neon walrus]

approved once again

thats a big honour

coming from jason

[fair copper]

i no right

[proud sail]

Sorta. Focus on social/meta systems at the moment.

[neon walrus]

my head has started to hurt

[fair copper]

u should try melatonin

[neon walrus]

that is?

[fair copper]

it helps with sleep

i guess

[neon walrus]

i do not have the time to sleep now

remember?

i will have to get ready for school in like 20 mins or smth

[fair copper]

i used to stay up then sleep 1 hour before school hit

😂

[neon walrus]

no wonder u got Cs /j

[fair copper]

and no one could wake me up

haahahha

[fair copper]

yeah honestly

[neon walrus]

thats real

[fair copper]

i studied on the last day before

the tests n stuff

got c and bs

pretty meh

[neon walrus]

u would have been fine with that strat if u focused in class every now and then

but no need to think abt the past now

are u in college now or what

[fair copper]

im in uni now ye

[neon walrus]

cool

[fair copper]

business school

💯

[neon walrus]

awesome

i m studying eco, accountancy and business studies

[fair copper]

dont be an accountant

[neon walrus]

yeah

[proud sail]

some people like number crunching. I know a few accountants.

[fair copper]

i wanted to get into IB dude

[crimson portal]

Who wanna be my friend

[fair copper]

im not smart enough for it

[neon walrus]

whats that

[fair copper]

investment banking

[neon walrus]

@fair copper

[neon walrus]

what exactly do they enjoy

[fair copper]

money counting

[neon walrus]

feeling rich

[proud sail]

No idea 🙂

[fair copper]

not their own money usually

money counting for others

[neon walrus]

feeling rich on other people's money

[proud sail]

If you're into art, why not doing something with art?

Don't chase the money, chase the passion. The money will come.

[fair copper]

no sir art doesnt pay alot unless ur really good

🥀

[neon walrus]

open a fast food stall to stay alive, then enjoy doing art

[proud sail]

I have a friend who works at sony santa monica. People told him the same thing. Now he does what he loves and makes decent money doing it.

[neon walrus]

it doesnt work out for everyone

[fair copper]

i mean yeah thats the process, u usually get a degree as a backup

[neon walrus]

but ofcourse, we shouldnt think abt the negative side

[fair copper]

but for artists their portfolio and quality of work is everything

[proud sail]

Nope, you gotta hustle. Nothing is EVER guarenteed.

[neon walrus]

connections are even more important in such industries

[fair copper]

oh yeah yeah linkedin

[neon walrus]

yes, but some factors can help

[fair copper]

get in there

😂

[proud sail]

yep. As they say, it's not what you know. It's who you know.

[fair copper]

but i believe thats common for alot of professions

people usually get hired from within the network

[neon walrus]

its more dominant in art and stuff, i think

movie directing, acting and all

[fair copper]

ngl when i was a bit younger i used to believe expat stuff like working 2 hours a day from abroad and making money

wasted so much time on that

[neon walrus]

did u join roblox development for passive income

while u study

i m just here for fun, earning small amounts along with it

[fair copper]

im originally a ugc creator

verified as well

3d guy

[neon walrus]

wow

[fair copper]

khehe

anyway

scripting for fun

[proud sail]

I don't think that question was for me, but I also did it for potentially passive income. On top of something to get my kids interested in.

[fair copper]

its a good passive if u can do it good and scale up

[neon walrus]

i think u should have an upper hand bcs of ur experience with game development and life itself T-T

but to get a good passive income, it will take time fs

[proud sail]

It's a crap shoot. Some things that do well are just meme experiences.

[neon walrus]

most*

[proud sail]

I'll be trying to make a legit world game, so we will see how it goes. It should be interesting at least 🙂

[neon walrus]

it would def. do well if u make it actually happen, but dont u think thats a big project when u are just starting out here

[proud sail]

Currently working on a Day/Night manager that will send notifications to other scripts to spawn different animals in the day/night, turn town lights on/off at night, and other things. 🙂 Hopefully I can get it to work!

[proud sail]

It definitely is.... but I have experience in large project management. So that doesn't worry me too much.

[neon walrus]

oh, u have already started working on it too. lend me some of your dedication

[fair copper]

✅

[proud sail]

It helps that the language is lua (luau), which has a big community support behind it... making googling things and learning easier.

[neon walrus]

roblox has documentations on it, pretty helpful

[proud sail]

I think most people who have an easier time learning and creating if they got comfortable with how to debug their code. Being able to step through your code line by line is very beneficial.

Also, I got set up in a proper IDE right away to code (VS Code). It just helps with moving from script to script, jumping from one function to another.

[neon walrus]

u are forgetting that i m a UI designer

I only know abt loops, functions and if statements as of rn

[proud sail]

Haha, you can still learn parts of the tech as a designer. It would make you a stronger designer.

[neon walrus]

will expand on that when i have more free time

[neon walrus]

true

[wise turtle]

luau is actually such a nice language

great syntax great type system great performance

[fair copper]

when i was learning i used docs + made the project and studied modules made by other people

[neon walrus]

hi, u have been typing for so long. you finally sent a msg

[wise turtle]

i was going to say something else and decided not to

[neon walrus]

thats real

[neon walrus]

u should learn ui frfr

[fair copper]

im more into vfx rn ngl

[neon walrus]

well i gtg

byee, wish me goodluck

[fair copper]

goodluck

get a C

[proud sail]

As a UI artist, at minimum you should learn all of the technical names for UI pieces so you can speak in Roblox UI Technical terms when talking to a client. It'll also make you seem more professional, thus letting you negotiate a higher price.

[balmy zenith]

what is this name

[wise turtle]

im a 0.1x engineer

[balmy zenith]

whats that

[wise turtle]

it means im 10x less productive than the average engineer

youre an engineer?!!?!

[proud sail]

Alright, I'm out all. @wise turtle I joined that other discord. Thx.

💔 leaving us??

[odd nova]

Bro, in the test mode on studio (all test modes) this shit is working, but I published in Roblox casually, and discovered THAT it DOENST work, here is the problem.

In my game, there is a little yellow platform, just like in Steal A Brainrot to the player step and some things happen, but its not working normally.

Anyone knows how to solve that?

[deft coral]

Show

Ur

Code

No one can diagnose anything from "its not working"

[marsh kelp]

never show your code in code-help

[deft coral]

Do not listen to Some Dev he is a russian spy sent here by the chinese as bait

[marsh kelp]

@deft coral is the "designer" in your bio for game designer? Or artist?

[deft coral]

i dabble in various forms of design, though 2d art is my lesser talent i can still draw halfway decently

level design is a big one that i do

and gameplay design

i often work hand-in-hand with level designers cuz theyre intrinsic to the gameplay so i just say designer

how come u asking

[marsh kelp]

I'm interested in game design, but every resource I found ( yt, books ) is only explaining theory and surface level info, and not how to actually use/apply it.

And it's kinda explaining what a game is after it's made, not how to make it ( that's how I understood it )

So i was gonna ask u how u learned it beyond the theory

[deft coral]

hands on

and also e-sports

i palyed esports at the collegiate level for counter-strike and rocket league and a part of e-sports is studying what you're playing not just meta-wise but it gets into deeper design philosophies

e-sport players (unlike streamers) are the best QA testers you can ask for ironically

the hands on also was just doing old roblox games, i was exposed to text roleplay games as an amateur developer where ironically it was a mishmash of mechanics and sociological implications because people interacting was the gameplay loop, which forced me to study psychology

and the level design was actually akin to real-life architecture and expecting how people are going to utilize it

then when i crossed into e-sports for FPS games, i realized its the same thing, just different goals, and it started to become intuitive

the main pitfalls ive experienced though is absolutely never skip out on QA

never ever, you will adjust more than you plan

in fact, if you aren't adjusting more than you plan, then you're making a bad game

[marsh kelp]

The problem that this is kinda expensive, Money, Time wise, right? ( especially because you nees testers/a second opinion )

[balmy zenith]

wat

[deft coral]

it can be yeah but honestly not as much as you think

even just two other sets of eyes are often enough, aka friends if ur doing it indie

if its for larger game sessions then thats just a dedication issue on your end

this is getting more into discipline but as i told that guy in another channel, you should be making S.M.A.R.T goals for urself

this graph thingy

the A is pretty important, make a game that you can actually make in ur current state

[marsh kelp]

Hmmm, so small games

[charred ruin]

the game design is from whatever LLM youre talking to

[deft coral]

another pitfall (im yapping rn mb) is dont forget about player motivation

[deft coral]

yeah like i mean

look at among us, ik, old meme atp

[marsh kelp]

?

[deft coral]

hes trolling

hes saying ask chatgpt for ideas

[marsh kelp]

Aha

[deft coral]

anyway, like among us, simple ass game, incredibly simple and very achievable, very good design. has absolutely nothing to do with money

the servers are local-host, so no overhead

eventually steam-hosted, which was smart

[marsh kelp]

Yeah, pretty simple game to make but a fun one

[deft coral]

mhm

those are the good games ironically

because they force you to consider the core ideas, in fact even the most like

successful games, like minecraft, they are truly just simple games but have grown larger, but their core is fundamentally simple

and that gets into like just basic player motivation, which is really what games are about

games should be a system that provides nonstop feedback, gaben from valve in an interview (i cannot remember which, sorry) said for example like

he hates it when he throws a thing at a wall in a game and nothing happens because the game is not reacting to him, he finds that the ego of the player is ironically the most important part, and interacting with it is what makes a game fun

cuz rlly people only play games for like 4 reasons, each person really leaning to only 1 reason of the 4

and thats like

1. creativity (building, creating, minecraft, gmod)
2. comprehensiveness (being told a story, exploring, the last of us, no mans sky, rpg games)
3. competition (either with themselves or others, counterstrike, rocket league, comp games)
4. completionism (getting everything there is to get, pokemon, world of warcraft)
5. social engagement (social hangouts, party games, vr chat, roblox)

and you will notice the most popular games of all time actually do about about all of these incredibly well, minecraft does all 5 very well

in fact you can correlate really the popularity of any game will be determined how well it can do x number of these 5 motivations

[deft coral]

i said 4 here but i forgot about social engagement and how that isnt the same as competition

[balmy zenith]

hmm

[deft coral]

generally tho do not shoot for all 5, you will on average unless u have a serious genius idea (which will come) or have a ton of money, you need to like do 1 or 2 really well

dont try to do 4 half-assed across the board

it will flop

[deft coral]

puzzle games is a mix of 3 and 4, forgot to use that as an example

[marsh kelp]

Yea, Like MMOs or big games with many game modes

[deft coral]

mhm, though i find like

big games trying to bullshit a bunch of modes, thats why theyre doing that

theyre tryna hit more of the big 5 motivations

but its often like, well

obviously bullshitted

itll boost player count for a bit but then itll drop again

[marsh kelp]

True, they're trying to please everyone to get all types of players stay in their game

[balmy zenith]

modes dont make much sense for games imo

why would they play a mode when they can just play a full fledge game for that "mode"

[deft coral]

pressure

developers are under pressure from two sources, investors/management (time) and the audience (quality)

[balmy zenith]

i could see it but like, modes wouldnt be the best idea

[deft coral]

they really arent but they're fast and get the numbers to go up quickly

and if youre lucky they get a niche audience

[balmy zenith]

i guess

[deft coral]

ergo surfing in counterstrike or zombies in cod

im not saying theyre a good idea btw

im saying how that happens

cuz even in zombies in cod, that wasnt planned to release, it was made for fun amongst the devs

[marsh kelp]

I didn't means "mods" as downloadable mods, but game mods like in minecraft where u can pick between creative, survival, hardcore, pvp ( servers )

[balmy zenith]

thats just cus they are the best in their specific mode

a dedicated game could easily outclass it(ignoring reputation/brand name)

[balmy zenith]

yes gamemodes not mods

[deft coral]

exactly

thus why u do not bullshit doing the big 5, dont spread yourself thing

thin*

dont be minecraft

[balmy zenith]

yep

[deft coral]

well let me like

say it moreso

dont try to be minecraft; minecraft actually does a good job

[balmy zenith]

how is minecraft so good anyways

[deft coral]

but thats cuz its genius

[balmy zenith]

what does it do

[deft coral]

its the big 5 but it does it good at every single thing, or do you mean like the how

[balmy zenith]

how

[marsh kelp]

Tyy a lot @deft coral for the help, tbh I was hesitant to start game (with the goal of applying the theories) bc it's a bit harder to come up with a small game with a fun gameplay than to think of an AAA game that'll take a lifetime to finish

[marsh kelp]

It's not ( if you're playing it solo, and don't like building )

[balmy zenith]

ye i get bored

[deft coral]

1. creativity

Minecraft is a world that entirely bends to the user's will. When you play Minecraft, while you are at tension, especially in the earlier versions where it was more horror/survival based, you are regarded entirely as the game's protagonist. You can destroy, create, and you can choose based on preference to do this under tension (survival) or total freedom. As in how its good at allowing you to create, thats rather obvious, but the voxel system allows things to be described discretely rather than abstractly, allowing it to be grasped easily by young audiences across intelligence spectrums yet its real-world connection in materials allows it to be understandable by non-games as in what they're actually looking at.

comprehensiveness (being told a story, exploring, the last of us, no mans sky, rpg games)

By being the protagonist, you are the epicenter of the game's workflow. The world stops functioning when you leave a chunk; the game generates more chunks around you. It creates structures for you to explore and loot. Though this is still the weakest of its endeavors, multiplayer, mods, and single-player maps allow this to still be a venture for players. It has the Ender Dragon, the Nether, etc., all for exploration, and its infinitely generating world beguiles never-ending curiosity for players even if no strict narrative comes into play. People tend to have stories in Minecraft like they do in real life, telling each other of their ventures because of the chaotic nature of consequences and risk/reward.

competition (either with themselves or others, counterstrike, rocket league, comp games)

Skyblock. But, more importantly, speedrunning. The game's randomness, yet customizability of said randomness, allows people with competitive personalities to strive to beat themselves (and others) at speedrunning.

completionism (getting everything there is to get, pokemon, world of warcraft)

Minecraft, again, because it is random, and its deep inter-connected crafting system creates an environment that encourages curiosity, and curiosity exposes the vast nature of the game's trophies and achievements. To 100% Minecraft may not mean you've done everything, but you have to go to absolute great lengths in exploration to find everything such as the music discs, which has been further expanded by the recent updates remodeling their cave generation system and how loot is dispersed, providing a constant sense of reward until the final dopamine gush of getting the achievement itself -- whether it be the literal achievements, rare items, filling up chests with diamonds, getting a full netherite kit, etc.

social engagement (social hangouts, party games, vr chat, roblox)

Minecraft inherently encourages collaboration even moreso than competition, where all of the previous 4 motivations come together in a space where friends can share in the experience without necessarily hindering each other (or absolutely hindering each other). The chaotic nature of this creates fresh experiences, where the gameplay loop does not encourage or discourage any particular treatment of player-relationship forming, allowing the community itself to form on each server, which creates sub-cultures and those sub-cultures propagate into a more diverse playing experience that keeps giving over time.

[deft coral]

Treat your problems as challenges

Gets more fun that way

You can do anything you set your mind on

[woeful adder]

whats your opinion on mmos though

i mean i saw u say

try to shoot for 1-2

most games ( on roblox at least ) dont execute mmos very well

the only MMO ive played is a pokemon mmo so i also dont have extensive knowledge on mmos but in your opinion what do you think it takes to make a "good' mmo on roblox at least

[tranquil lintel]

Sorry chat wall

[woeful adder]

you dont have to do everything at once

[tranquil lintel]

mmos only fun bcs of compulsion and meta loops

What is infinityyeild typing bro

[woeful adder]

a lot of people that think games are gonna take so long to finish imo try to get the entire thing done before it even releases

[tranquil lintel]

Lol

[woeful adder]

if you can get a section of it done with a good enough replayable gameplay loop most of ur ideas can come as updates

[woeful adder]

u think so

i mean im intending on making a mmo of some sort

just dont have a lot of direction in it right now

[swift lintel]

hiii guys who uses topbarplus? i have a questionn, is it possible to make the background of transparent? i have some pictures i can send so you know the reference im referring to

[tranquil lintel]

I don't think, Jesse Schell thinks,
Read his book The Art Of Game Design

Infiniteyyeild is still typing bro

[woeful adder]

topbarplus?

[marsh kelp]

gameplay loop does not encourage or discourage any particular treatment of player-relationship forming, allowing the community itself to form on each server, which creates sub-cultures and those sub-cultures propagate into a more diverse playing experience that keeps giving over time.

That's the strongest and weakest point of the game, u can do anything u want, but at the same time you can't do anything because you don't know what to do.

And it allowed the game to function like a platform, where some players made survival servers and add many modes and microtransactions, to the point where it didn't feel like minecraft anymore

[swift lintel]

yes by ForeverHD

[deft coral]

I think MMOs can be good on Roblox they're just done in a manner thats trying to mimic behavior and scale of an "actual" MMO. People forget Roblox itself is an MMO, it has every tool to enable that kind of gameplay, but the developers just kinda lack experience.

Many MMOs fail; its one of the most debated topics in game design of whether an MMO is even a valid game design (valid meaning viable, not inherently flawed) because they have a high failure rate and require an enormous amount of upfront costs, huge long-term costs, and in my opinion don't really hit any of the big 5 motivations terribly well. I find (most) MMOs to be frankly just mobile games with an inclusion of a social factor.

But in today's gaming industry, social elements are being restricted due to safety concerns, thus why WoW, despite being popular, is incredibly stagnated and polarized by the community because the game was built around factionism -- and now the factions can't even communicate with each other.

Roblox player-generated MMOs faces similar issues; its hard to embrace the core element of MMOs, which is that social factor, in a manner thats both entirely safe for the platform and also not entirely babified to the point where all you're left with is superficial engagement and cheap quests.

Deepwoken is a good example of an MMO, but thats because they absolutely rejected the social factor in favor of competition. Old Roblox MMOs ironically favored social elements, such as the original Swordburst games, because the interaction ecosystem of the platform was far more lenient. I'm not saying though being able to cuss means an MMO more viable, but moreso that being able to embrace a sense of community-within-community and allow the conflicts that inherently come with it to flourish undeterred and crafted by rich worldbuilding (something Roblox devs are often just too inexperienced to know how to do) is the lifeline to MMOs that Roblox's player-generated ones inherently lack.

Mb total stream of consciousness

[deft coral]

I agree

[mild cloak]

Ts reminds me of a person with dementia having those moments of lucidity

[woeful adder]

yea i want to make something inline with deepwoken but at the same time

i just really got no direction lol

cuz i dont really have extensive knowledge on mmos

[deft coral]

Also MMOs are made by like major industry veterans that have done nothing but make MMOs. When you try to mimic this, see Amazon's New World, the devs literally just lack the experience to do this despite the massive budget

[woeful adder]

and i dont wanna just outright copy deepwoken's style

cuz everyone does that and its getting kind of boring

[deft coral]

Deepwoken works because its a pvp competition rogue-like pretending to have the worldbuilding of an MMO

Its actually rather satanic and abusive of the player's trust

[woeful adder]

well i shouldn't say i want an mmo to be exact i mainly want some features from mmos

i really like the idea of like player controlled economies

[woeful adder]

yeah its a nice game bruh

they got

like 4 years of weekly updates lmao man no one is catching up to that game in terms of content

i just dont know how they do it cuz i hear a lot "people dont like permadeath" but that game has been alive for years

[deft coral]

I was actually insulting it but it is all-in-all a nice game, I mean it works

and people play it; I palyed it

I just find Deepwoken to be like the wizard of oz, like

theres nothing behind the curtain

[woeful adder]

i know what you meant i was jsut saying its a good game

[deft coral]

yeah fair

[woeful adder]

wym by this

[deft coral]

So we look at the big 5 motivations I said earlier right, Deepwoken first grabs your interest of many people by going "oooooo its spooky ooo theres a story and world here ooooo"

And you start playing and youre curious

You endure the suffering of loss because you think theres something ahead, you're drawn to this sense of mystery

But you learn quickly, if you are not ensnared by the jaws of jealousy by being killed over and over by 14 year olds,

there is nothing to learn.

The game is actually rather shallow, there is little lore

[late tendon]

Hey guys. Not expecting anyone to have an answer since this is a pretty specific question (and I'm not sure if this is the correct channel either), but here it is:

When a player punches in the game, I want to send out this thing that checks where the nearest player is within a certain distance (10 studs for example). What would be the best method of doing this? Raycasting?

[deft coral]

Its all just a situation, not a story

And it does not intend to ever show its hand

[deft coral]

I would do a Spatial query

[woeful adder]

i see what u mean

well i think deepwoken HAD good lore

but they just kind of dropped the ball recently

I think they just gave up they had something going though

[deft coral]

Deepwoken hopes to God you are ensnared by the jaws of jealousy and want to auraframe any skid you find because otherwise you are going to be prey rather than a predator

[marsh kelp]

U missed the point of the game: suffering

Not to explore, or the lore ||/semi-joke||

[deft coral]

Lmao the ole "Suffering is the goal" adage

How wise and content

I mean its funny cuz I get it, I love rogue-likes so

[deft coral]

I dont think so but we can just agree to disagree, its subjective

[late tendon]

Alright thanks bro, I'll look into this

[deft coral]

To check for distance plainly, you use a magnitude check (position-position).Magnitude

[woeful adder]

they threw the lore out the window a long time ago

[deft coral]

To check for plyers in a specific area, aka in front of the fist,

you would do a spatial query

just explaining for tiggles why i said what i said

[woeful adder]

but even though im not a lore type of guy i still plan 2 have it cuz i want a deep game too

im going for a horror esque game

not horror esque i mean it will be horror

but u make good points

makes me re evaulate where i was going with it asw

[late tendon]

That seems like a better idea. If I had to guess I have around 4 months of solid learning with Lua

[deft coral]

Roblox is just not that scary and its hard ot make scary things so if ur gonna make anything scary it needs to be psychologically scary, or as like Stephen King would say, its the kind of horror where "You come home to find everything has been replaced by an exact replica"

Make the entire situation scary

Not just scary monster or scary mobs, like the fundamental existence of the character is scary

think binding of isaac

[woeful adder]

ngl this where i was going at first

that's why i said u made me re evaluate

[deft coral]

Im glad youre still pursuing it

[woeful adder]

wendigos, skinwalkers things of that nature i mean i guess my game wouldn't have been "scary" but i mean yea i didn't think of having psychological horror but not many games execute that right either

[deft coral]

break the cycle and execute it right

I had an extraction roblox shooter idea actually

[woeful adder]

will try ngl all i really can do right is make combat but reading ur shi made me realize it might be way deeper than i originally thought lmao

not can do* i actually have some pretty wise ideas im just not a lore guy and im not too big on things like progression but i can give my tips here and there

[late tendon]

Lmao this is so true it seems straightforward until you start getting deeper into it

[woeful adder]

not a complete dud

[woeful adder]

yea

[deft coral]

I have this like entire universe called Wicks that I cant rlly share too much of cuz I have plans ™ but essentially theres a forest and in this forest time and space kinda collide in a space akin to silent hill, like theres areas trapped in a time loop so every time you extract (in multiplayer mind you), the npcs and mobs are like lowkey just people with dementia trapped in purgatory and youre an invasive force, or perhaps you're in a similar situation, forever tormenting them and yourself through needless resource gathering

[woeful adder]

my game is kind of really just

surface level

[deft coral]

all are, that just means u gotta think about it

nothing shameful in having a surface level idea, its just a sign you gotta think further on it

[woeful adder]

if you mean like this then i kind of have a world setup

[deft coral]

happens to us all

[woeful adder]

but im like

so conflicted

between like these two settings

i go back and forth all day

[deft coral]

any time im conflimcted i literally do a venn diagram

the conflict is really just how you dont feel like your soul is being represented in the art youre making, and i dont mean that in a like seriously spiritual way

i mean that as in like

you want that gut feeling its "correct"

lacking it means ur in dissonance

[inland agate]

venn diagram for what?

[woeful adder]

its mainly like

[deft coral]

because it isnt actually, subconsciously, representing the theme you need to get out of your mind and onto the page

[woeful adder]

the world i feel i have

i feel like theres no room for

expansion

as opposed to the other world i like

there is room for a lot of expansion but it doesn't 100% fit my vision

[late tendon]

He was talking about being conflicted about which path to go down for a game I'm pretty sure

[deft coral]

igive this advice often but basically i make a venn diagram of things in the same genre, or just any actually, and the reasons why i like them. like 5 games i love and why. the venn diagram maps what those games have in common

then i use whats in common as my prompt and focus hard on it so it represents my interests

[late tendon]

Oh that's really smart

[inland agate]

intresting

[deft coral]

and i do not beceome distracted by temporary interests that are not as deep

[late tendon]

I might have to use that

[woeful adder]

and im thinking about an issue that comes in later down the line

but like

idk bro i might do the venn diagram

[deft coral]

ty, i learned it from my mentor

so i dont take credit but i do like to share it

[woeful adder]

but still might be conflicted just because the idea of the world im envisioning feels like it has no room for any sort of expansion in the future without it not making a lot of sense

😭

[late tendon]

Oh I had no idea people had mentors for game development

[woeful adder]

its so annoying

[late tendon]

Sounds useful

[woeful adder]

game design is much harder than i thought asw

if you want it to be fleshed out in the aspects

[deft coral]

it was film actually

[woeful adder]

you think of

[late tendon]

Yeah man I feel like it gets to a point someday where the idea/design itself becomes more difficult than actually creating it

[deft coral]

it is

[woeful adder]

that's what im saying

[deft coral]

but thats why its fun and also a full time job

[woeful adder]

like i know i could do what im envisioning but like

[deft coral]

people often use reductive rhetoric on design without actually ever doing it

[woeful adder]

i dont even know if like

[late tendon]

Because you could have the skill but if you don't know what to do with it then how will you make a good game

[deft coral]

yeah, especially when ur small and lack accountability

[late tendon]

The creativity is one of my favorite parts about game development honestly

I can do what I want how I want

[deft coral]

to be a designer at the indie level requires intense discipline, knowledge, and multiple fields of artistic talent

you gotta often draw shit yourself, do sound yourself,

etc

and if not do it yourself, at least know how it works

because it has to exist eventually

[woeful adder]

btw do you mean story as in like an actual game story or like lore how deepwoken does it

you learn about the world through interacting with it

[balmy zenith]

🤔

[woeful adder]

and other things like that

[deft coral]

in what context, ive said story a few times

[woeful adder]

or like a playable story

like uhh

u said deepwokens "story"is shallowdid u js mean the lore of the game is shallow or like

it not having a playable story is shallow

[deft coral]

yeah i meant lore, the game's "story" is the journey an expected playthrough will yield, but the lore is the foundation of this journey

mmos are tricky, and thus why i said theyre heavily debated as viable

because they need to immerse you enough to get you to play yet call you the chosen one despite everyone else doing the same exact questline

deepwoken forgoes the second one in favor of competition but it kinda bullshits you a bit

like it goes "ooooo theres something crazy going onnnn oooOOooo you may learn cool stuff and have an entire journeyyy"

"but also you can DIE at any point."

if that sounds contradictory, you are correct

thats why it really wants you to get addicted to trying to diff people

[woeful adder]

ic

[balmy zenith]

deepwoken pulls you in with the story and keeps you there with competition

[deft coral]

the solution here is that death is apart of the story, or lore, which it is in that game, but since the lore is in truth moot, it exposes that theyre really not doing anything special even though it, in theory, would be a genius post-modern take design wise

[deft coral]

exactly see now ur thinking in the big 5

[woeful adder]

i do want players to be encouraged to explore lore in some regards though mainly through objectives but i dont want to make like a "playthrough story ) if that makes sense

[balmy zenith]

ideally you want the story throughout, but sometimes that isnt possible
imo, stories also has a bigger audience than competition as not everyone likes competing

[deft coral]

also again with mmos, the story is like

well, my biased opinion, 99% dogshit

like dont even bother telling me a story in an mmo

[balmy zenith]

mmos cant really have a sorry

[deft coral]

dont call me the chosen one man

[balmy zenith]

its more social

[deft coral]

yeah exactly

[balmy zenith]

its a lot of players so theres no main character

[deft coral]

they should do that, but they often try to like cram in some crap about a story but its always just a snoozefest

[balmy zenith]

so you would need social collaboration, which is just hard because not everyone will cooperate

[woeful adder]

ngl id ont want this either

i want deep lore but i want some mmo aspects

[balmy zenith]

should always have a story around yourself

[woeful adder]

not everything an mmo has to offer

[balmy zenith]

what you tryna do 🤔

[woeful adder]

maybe an rpg would be more in-line with what ive been describing

[woeful adder]

i wanna make a

[balmy zenith]

tbh i woukd really like a lone type journey where 90% of the game is you alone(or with your group) and can interact with people rarely

[woeful adder]

horror game i mean that's really surface level but like

A horror game originally how deepwoken was supposed to be but i also want it to be more competitive but as infiniteyield said

[balmy zenith]

it gives off an exotic vibe like you are special out of all the players

[woeful adder]

can't just make ur game scary with mobs

[deft coral]

Whats ur supplementary loop

[balmy zenith]

whats that?

[deft coral]

What do you do thats not boring to justify lonesomeness basically

[balmy zenith]

somewhat hardcore combat and looting

generally survival

[deft coral]

Kinda reminds me of The Forest

[balmy zenith]

and have some kind of end goal

[deft coral]

Which works

[woeful adder]

wdym by end goal

exactly

[balmy zenith]

id like to see it be more confined or stuck

[balmy zenith]

🤷 im just saying an idea i would like to play a game of

[deft coral]

I think he means like, an overarching goal that the player is striving for that every smaller thing they do durin the session aids

Ender Dragon in minecraft

[balmy zenith]

yes

[woeful adder]

i see

[balmy zenith]

the goal can even repeat if youre smart about it

ie different bosses

[woeful adder]

this gon take longer than i originally thought

[balmy zenith]

but you gotta go through tons to reach said boss room

[woeful adder]

its..over.

[woeful adder]

vintage story

[deft coral]

Story circles!

[woeful adder]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-dog-staring-at-sun-cute-dog-dog-closed-eyes-dog-staring-at-sunset-gif-10310895250239531072

[deft coral]

Thats a concept in writing

[balmy zenith]

whats that 🤔

[balmy zenith]

whoa

[deft coral]

This is mainly for stories, more specifically film as well, but the thing abt the story circle is its repeatable and every single step can have its own story circle

Great example is like the Dark Knight. The Joker maintains control in the film because he interrupts batman's story circle by stopping him at 7 and returning him to 3

Yo ucan adapt this to players basically

[balmy zenith]

yeo like imagine you go thru a maze or something which you need to survive
then reach the boss room and have to defeat it
then after the boss room you have a lobby of some kind, perhaps with social interaction
repeat

[woeful adder]

if you dont mind me asking

if i were to lets say have lore in game, what would be the best way to go about it ( i know you dont really know much about what my game is )
Basically like what I was originally thinking were spread out NPCS you would be given objectives to go and talk to / interact with and interacting with them could potentially help you figure out other parts of the game and access key locations ( kind of like pokemon in some regard )

ik you said psychological horror earlier which i kinda get and got down which ill be planning to implement

[balmy zenith]

that would be world lore

i personally like character personal lore more

ie you learn things about yourself/your kind

[woeful adder]

my game will have this

more like

your kind

instead of yourself

its still gonna be kind of a combat / competitive game since that's what im really aiming for but i dont want to leave out the other parts

that make a game good

and js focus on only the combat aspect

[balmy zenith]

would there be races

[woeful adder]

3 primary ones

Yea

I mean ive thought of the 3 primary ones for awhile now

[balmy zenith]

id keep it at 3-5 yeah

[woeful adder]

lowkey wasn't planning to have more than 3 with the addition of a 4th later on but i dont know if that 4th will ever be a thing

[compact spoke]

I like the way that deepwoken does lore where they literally give you an encyclopedia you fill out by clicking on words that characters say while you talk to them

[balmy zenith]

you have to make a goal for the player to strive towards tho, why fight? to explore? or ?

[woeful adder]

yea

i mean

i feel like with an "end" goal once the game is complete wouldn't you just

quit

i mean yea incentives for fighting and exploring are obviously good but

the "end" goal

i feel like people would just quit after they've reached this end

[balmy zenith]

you can have an end goal that is endless

its just smth imstilled into the players mind, the goal might not even actually exist

although i wonder how youd have a story in a sandboz game unless the player comes up with the story themself

[compact spoke]

Mine craft

[balmy zenith]

how does minecraft have a story, except the world lore?

[compact spoke]

You kill the dragon

[balmy zenith]

thats world lore

i mean in a sandbox sandbox

minecraft isnt a pure sandbox because you are already given like half the sand

[marsh kelp]

No|| it doesn't have a story||, + even the world lore is fan made

[balmy zenith]

yeah so...

[rotund igloo]

yall know hwy this aint working i have to select it to work

[cinder temple]

Could just be a studio bug id say test it ingame

[rotund igloo]

did

same

thing

[cinder temple]

I meant actual roblox

Or did you do that

[marsh kelp]

tween the bar

[rotund igloo]

jjust normal tween?

[rotund igloo]

ye

[cinder temple]

The bar frame itself instead of canvas group

[marsh kelp]

bc you're using offest for the bar, it doesn't care anymore about it's parent size

[rotund igloo]

no?

[rotund igloo]

ye

alr

[rotund igloo]

huh

when i useregular tween same thing

[marsh kelp]

did you tween the bar?
CanvasGroup.Bar

[rotund igloo]

why the

bar?

i wanna tween teh canvasgroup

cus then it looks smooth

instread of crop

[rotund igloo]

why should i tween that?

[marsh kelp]

bc you're using offest for the bar, it doesn't care anymore about it's parent size

you'll either have to tween the bar, or add a script into the bar to track it's parent size, and update its offset from there

[balmy zenith]

canvasgroup kinda sucky

[marsh kelp]

tbh, I'm not really sure on how to fix this, so try asking in #interface

[balmy zenith]

so low res

[marsh kelp]

What's canvasGroup? :(
|| (serious, idk what they're ) ||

[balmy zenith]

erm

[rotund igloo]

...

[balmy zenith]

they are a group of ui thayd rendered onto canvas(an image) and displayed

[cinder temple]

Just a way to edit multiple ui elements by updating group instead of 1 bt 1

[balmy zenith]

so you can tint or change transparency of whole thing

[tardy shard]

an instance for applying common properties to multiple descendants in one place

[marsh kelp]

isn't that just a Frame?

[marsh kelp]

oh

[balmy zenith]

its kinda dumb and not required for 95% of cases, also more memory as it renders into a texture

[deft coral]

yoda is stink and stupid and has failed on every deadline

[cinder temple]

Really is esp cus its buggy asf as well

[balmy zenith]

yep

[marsh kelp]

Noooo don't hate yoda

[rotund igloo]

loading screen

sigh

[cinder temple]

Why dont u just tween the size of the bar

[balmy zenith]

why you need for losding screen

[rotund igloo]

its an image

[rotund igloo]

for a game

[balmy zenith]

also a canvas group should only be used for small sized elements as it has a resolution limit..

[balmy zenith]

why need canvas group

[cinder temple]

Use a frame and plop the image on it

[rotund igloo]

if i jus resize

the barits gonna crop

the image

[balmy zenith]

what

[rotund igloo]

still

wont work yk

[balmy zenith]

lower your graphics and youll see how shit a canvasgroup looks

it isnt worth, trust

[cinder temple]

I mean what ur doing rn is just essentially moving the frame out of view

U can do that without canvas group

But if u tween the bar instead of the canvas group itself itll fix ur issue rn

[marsh kelp]

tbh, it seems useful
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/canvas-groups-for-bars-to-make-the-corners-smooth/3058047

[cinder temple]

Very buggy

[marsh kelp]

how so nvm

[balmy zenith]

think you can do same normally, this is just a bit more convenient(not worth the downsides)

[winter yacht]

Anyone wanna play tic tac Toe against my Mcts minimax bot

[marsh kelp]

yea, maybe with a UIGradient or smth.
But:

[rotund igloo]

how much

can i play

[main sorrel]

are you reselling someone else's template

[deft coral]

very likely

people dont just make shit

[wild kayak]

nah man

[main sorrel]

you can see the roblox character of person who made the template at the shop stand

[deft coral]

he took it down LOL

[wheat pumice]

mehh, multiple at best

[delicate sand]

bought nitro just for my main banned account to get the nitro instead of me…

[fallen gyro]

Is there any way to create RemoteEvents without having to make one every single time? For example with an Instance.new? Or something?

[marsh kelp]

Yes, u can make them with Instance.new

[snow raft]

You have to do this on the client and server side for this to work

trust me

[marsh kelp]

Evil, don't confuse them

[fallen gyro]

Thank you!

kb system in fact is not any better

lowkey got even laggier 😭

[valid void]

@arctic crater accept my friend request I saw your post

[bronze ridge]

guys i made a kill brick and a spinning kill brick and a part that goes transparrent and u can walk through it when touched idk what to do now

[daring hamlet]

@nimble cosmos add me

[shut ridge]

Make an Admin Panel System supports autotab, gui etc

[dapper karma]

make a parkour obby in a sewer, with hole in the wall trolling shops
player collects coins throughout the levels so they can spend them in shops to troll others
And the players are rats tryna escape the sewer

idk

[bronze ridge]

ill try but idk how

[crude wave]

hey guys i am new to scripting i am at the 6th tutorial which is scoping i belive i need help on how i learn it

[shut ridge]

if it is too advanced you can try other simple stuffs

[bronze ridge]

like what

[dapper karma]

or that but like subway surfer racing

with trolling

kids always buy that stuff

[bronze ridge]

im trying rn to do a timer ui but its rlly hard im watching a tut then copying then trying hwat i remember

[shut ridge]

local a = 1

print(a) -- you can access it!
Example 2:

local function definea ()
local a = 1
end

print(a) --a is undefined!

It is like where the stuffs can be readen

I am not a great explainer lol

[dapper karma]

i hope you are not in tutorial hell rn gng

[bronze ridge]

wdym

[shut ridge]

it is pretty simple to implement by yourself once you understand how to implement events

[dapper karma]

https://tenor.com/view/chicken-in-rain-gif-16989196319284498272

[bronze ridge]

wdym tutorial hell

[bronze ridge]

i didnt watch the event one i skipped it ..

ill watch it now

[bronze ridge]

well i do learn stuff ik how to deal damage now and spin stuff

[bronze ridge]

i made a spinning kill brick

[crude wave]

so basically local is the scope that we use to figure out the actual situation we want idk how to say it

but local is the tool we use to figure out what we want to do

[shut ridge]

Uhh i can explain like this. It is like if a function/variable is accessable in your code

[crude wave]

like local my variable

[shut ridge]

local means that it is only accesable in the whole script

so you can access the variable anywhere

but if you define local in a function then you can only access it in the codeblock(which is the function)

[crude wave]

so i can make a function that is like playanimation local function playanimations() then type the function

[shut ridge]

so like as I top defined the local a is only accessable in the function

[shut ridge]

you mean like this
local function playanimations()

end
playanimations()
?

[shut ridge]

xd

[bronze ridge]

what has events got to do with a timer

[crude wave]

yeah but i didn't want to continue it cuz i am lazy lol

[shut ridge]

since you want the client to display and make the caculations on server you need events for client-server communitcation

[fickle jungle]

Hi Its possible put hundreds of zombie spawns but render only close zombies?

[warm flicker]

what simple system should i script as a beginner scripter?

[shut ridge]

Perfect!

[bronze ridge]

I DID THE TIMER

i didnt even look

[shut ridge]

Super!

[bronze ridge]

try making the baseplate change color without going in properties only script

[bronze ridge]

how can i make it so that when time is up u lose all ur health/die

[shut ridge]

you can set the health of the humanoid to 0

[bronze ridge]

yeah but how do i do that i only know how to do that on touch

@shut ridge

[bronze ridge]

HOWWWW

[shut ridge]

Sry I was away to get some food

[shut ridge]

I would use an remoteevent here

[bronze ridge]

mb im impacient 😭

[shut ridge]

To send an event when the timer is ready

And the server will set the players humanoid health to 0

[bronze ridge]

im so lost

[shut ridge]

Watch the event video ig

[shut ridge]

Where did you set up the timer loop

On client or on server

[bronze ridge]

??

do u want a pic of my script

@shut ridge

[shut ridge]

Oh so you did on client

[bronze ridge]

Idk what that means but ig yes

[shut ridge]

You want a version where you can do it for the player itself like none will see the player die
If yes you gonna implement it on client otherwise you can implement on server

[bronze ridge]

I see

[bronze ridge]

So local is individual and server is visible for all

But yeah that’s my script idk how to make it so they die after it ends

[shut ridge]

I would fire an event to server using fire server and then on server ( onserverevent) you can simply get the humanoid since the player argument is passed in

If you have no idea what I am saying you can watch the video event

[bronze ridge]

can we call so u can teach like that

its easier that way i can screen rec

@shut ridge

[shut ridge]

Sry no. But I gave your an instruction

[bronze ridge]

idk how to fire an event and i have no idea what remote events even do

[shut ridge]

Watch the event video

From Brawldev

[bronze ridge]

i did

[bronze ridge]

it doesnt explain remote events tho

[shut ridge]

Did you watch the remoteevent a video?

He should explain with like 30min how remoteevnts works

[bronze ridge]

theres a video for that?

[bronze ridge]

can u send the link

nvm i got it

[drowsy gull]

@bronze ridge are u learning how to script?

[cerulean shell]

If I have a set of parts grouped together in workspace and then update said parts location/rotation based on starterplayer location using a local script with "While True Do" loop that will update for each player individually right?

I'm trying to avoid having to constantly load and unload parts for an "infinite" ocean by making it so that the same large special mesh parts follow the players by updating their x and z coordinates to match the players whenever their humanoid root is more than a certain amount of studs from the root of the grouped items, I just want to make sure I understand local scripts correctly and that having it move to follow each player won't have it constantly teleporting between all people on the server, each player should have their own "instance" of the water

[bronze ridge]

Yes

[bronze ridge]

I watched it and I don’t see why I need a remote event they only help for stopping hackers

@drowsy gull why??

[drowsy gull]

js askin btw me too im about to start

[bronze ridge]

I see I have scripted before but not much the best I can do is make a spinning kill brick and a timer with ui

[shut ridge]

Because If you set your humanoid health on client to 0 which is only visible to the client but server values didn't changed so you gotta change the humanoid for the player on server

And also you will learn about that that server and client have their own task

You can't do it all on client

[shut sorrel]

I'm pretty sure humanoid is one of the few things that replicate it's properties to the server if it's owned as the players character because of network ownership

[weak hemlock]

I think health is replicated but some specific such as WalkSpeed might not be replicated

or depending on the way its changed

[paper current]

Nah u can lower a player health in client mode and on the server side his health won’t be lowered

[weak hemlock]

might've wrote it the wrong way

my bad

But their humanoid, model and everything still is replicated in both right ?

But changes on client for some properties aren't replicated from client side ?

[foggy fiber]

yo there was this game and that no matter how high you flew up if you flew Super high Over like some Map it still detected that u entered the map how did they do this?

[deft coral]

checking only x and z coords

[supple spindle]

yeah thats because first of all walkspeed on the client shouldnt be delayed and second of all walkspeed is a variable for the interpolation roblox uses (for smooth walking, instead of kinda laggy one). the Health value doesnt need any of this, it can have a small delay for like a couple of milliseconds and thats why you cant manipulate that, but the walkspeed

[deft coral]

its not replicated itself

as in like

ur correct abt network ownership, the caveat is the walkspeed property isnt replicated client to server, its just the client has control over its own physics so they go faster even though the server sees their walk speed as lower

[remote pewter]

anyone ever wanted to make some serious money developing dm me

[deft ibex]

ik this is bad but im proud of it

local touchPart = game.Workspace.TouchPart

local partIsTouched = false

touchPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
print("Life is good")
touchPart.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)

if partIsTouched == false then
    partIsTouched = true
    
    wait(2)
    partIsTouched = false
    print("Why did you touch me")

Just use your brain

Coding is pure logic

Brain works = code works

That's it

[desert solstice]

script or ui

Pcall = basically protected call
Call what ? Function in the tip when you hover it so you attach a function to it

As simple as saying

Ui

Its a pixel style ui

hi coders

[floral yarrow]

bro best explaination ever

[proud sail]

Build on what you're learning. You've created a timer so now use the timer to do something when it hits zero (spawn a simple ball object or something). After it hits zero, automatically restart the timer.

[bronze ridge]

I tried but idk how

I wanted to make me die when it runs out

I made this not long ago the timer is at the top btw

how do i make a pop up that askes if u wanna join my group and if u press join ur acc joins the group

anyone here that can help me with a similar FPS system like cs games?

[cunning fable]

transmission??

[bronze ridge]

I was gonna make it teleport you some where but idk how

[cunning fable]

why does it say transmission

[bronze ridge]

Idk don’t even know what what transimission is it just sounds fancy

[cunning fable]

if you're doing a round based thing it should say intermission but if it's just teleporting you somewhere then transmission is fine

[fast bronze]

GUYS

im here

[frail plaza]

for a flight system
what would be better to use
a velocity based system thats semi client sided
or just updating player position on the server
while lerping or using tweens

[rough mauve]

likley better to do both

[frail plaza]

tweening the power of the velocity?

or force*

like

say when the player stops going in a direction

instead of destroying the velocity isntance

slowly tween it downwards

and do the same thing for starting to move

[frail plaza]

.

?

add a small buffer zone and handle the full sync on client, obviously not exact timing but close. handling sync with client should work tho

i would start with not using an ai generated thumbnail

Remove ai thumbnail

[glad frost]

ugh... anyone here scripts with ts?

When creating a mouse-oriented vehicle, client-side logic is just sending mouse and keep the movement to the server?

as a thumbnail artist u should remove this thumbnail or ill eat u alive...

does anyone wanna make a shooter game

[slate nova]

about what

[south comet]

You could add some movement on the client just to make it smooth for the player and hide delay and have the server sanitize it and replicate it

[iron kraken]

if u set network owner to client it will automatically replicate

[snow raft]

learning how to program is one of the easiest things you can do

because you can just run the code and if it breaks you get details on how to fix it immediately

oh well, i am a ui designer

[slate nova]

I don't see what's preventing the allocation.

[slate nova]

lol

[coarse panther]

local planeTween = game.TweenService:Create(plane.PrimaryPart,planeTweenInfo,{CFrame = planeEndPos}) Shouldn't the whole model move, not just the PrimaryPart?

[slate nova]

no

[coarse panther]

well how do i tween a model?

[slate nova]

The most recommended are Raycast.

[slate nova]

or define it without the primarypart

[coarse panther]

If i do it without it i get the error that CFrame is not a member of the object Plane

[slate nova]

try using raycast instead of Tween

[south comet]

Id just keep the server in control, its be easier to security check
