interesting

[harsh acorn]

for money

if you have the skills and the task is straightforward then you could make a good profit for at least a month or for as long as the original remains popular

people always look for alternatives because of personal preferences

[onyx inlet]

because thats the strat

95% of 2k+ ccu games are highly inspired from front page games

[tawny jacinth]

bcs it looks easy to make

[quartz flame]

can someone teach my scripting or can recommend a video for me? dm pls

k thanks

[vernal peak]

hw do I get the return value of a function I called?

cuz i gotta pass plr when i call it

[analog lynx]

what is something easy to do i am a new coder or whatever and need ideas

[spice cypress]

Mess around with cframes or smt

do u have any other sites with easier challenges? ||/joke||

[vernal peak]

server stores current weapons so even if exploiters change attribute, server knows their real move set

Server changes attribute for client

Client checks attribute for current weapons, ultimate, cd, ect

Client fires 3 diff events. 1 for Weapon skills, 1 for ultimate, 1 for m1s

server verifies if the plr can use the skill and validates

1-3 module for animations and vfx -- client can use their current weapon attribute as a key
1-3 module for skill storage (same as plr manager but with data stores) -- client will not touch/see this
1-3 module for verification such as cooldowns
1-3 module for hitbox, damage, ect

Example:

Client requests z (after checking if they can use it ofc)
client uses animation and vfx module to play anim and vfx for that move

Server makes weapon name a variable (using current weapon/skill Storage function), sends it to a verification function, then calls the hitbox and dmg function passing the weapon name in the () IF verification function comes back true

am I missing anything?

[deft coral]

is this result based or do i have to follow the description cuz i dont agree with the description's method in one of them

[marsh kelp]

I don't think so

[vernal peak]

how do i do hitbox and dmg module

i feel like its gon be insanly long

is that alr?

[marsh kelp]

GetPartsInPart or GetPartBoundsInBox, and a module/place to store the hitbox configs ( the different sizes, positions, for each skill )

[vernal peak]

yeah the hitbox configs

[marsh kelp]

should be result based

[vernal peak]

that shit gon be confusing

fuck it ill see what I can do

[wise turtle]

which one

[deft coral]

spider

[lusty barn]

which one and which method

oh

what would you rather

honestly i havent even done much with ik and that’s the only method i knew

unless you’re talking about the other spider stuff like with the raycasting

[deft coral]

talking abt the spider legs

expert 1 whatever

i just wouldnt raycast for that in roblox specifically, going off the top of my head

a spatial query and using getclosestpointonsurface would probably be more consistent

[twin roost]

how should i go about coding a falling/broken glass effect

[balmy zenith]

unions?

[vernal peak]

Does anyone know of free online quizzes or something like that where u can do them when ur not at the crib

[marsh kelp]

But he shouldn't put the exact steps in a challenge, right?

[odd pawn]

Guys would yall say it’s worth trying out vs code and rojo even tho im mostly a solo dev?

[marsh kelp]

have u ever found yourself remembering an old piece of code ( that u can't find anymore ), or breaking ur whole game,or going through your whole Place Version History?

[odd pawn]

Sometimes when I try smth new

I’ve been working on my td for a while and it’s gotten quite messy w all I’ve added so I wanna do a lot of cleanup

[vestal pumice]

ngl i feel like the best way to clean up is just slowly changing everytihng overtime when you modify it again

[lusty barn]

No

[odd pawn]

That’s what I’ve been doing but bigger systems like enemies or towers branch out a lot

Also it makes it harder to add new features

[odd pawn]

Any alternatives?

[lusty barn]

wtf

alternative is not using it

oh actually

i think i heard of one but idk

[odd pawn]

[lusty barn]

either way there’s only one other similar option

[odd pawn]

Which is?

[deft coral]

i mean i wouldnt

but it depends on the point

[lusty barn]

Well

many people were complaining that there wasnt enough guidance

so i revised some of the challenges

[deft coral]

i would stop giving the instructions at like advanced

[lusty barn]

yeah ok

[kind owl]

the primary benefit would be improved version control, and the ability to use external linters

if anything people avoid Rojo because they are working on teams where certain team members aren't using VSCode

[odd pawn]

Would I say looking cool is good factor

[odd pawn]

Oh well if I do it then 100% of my team members will be using it

[amber willow]

i know this is Ai but will it work?

[mild cloak]

@drifting musk is this you

[amber willow]

who tf is that

[mild cloak]

Ur pfps are so similar

[amber willow]

Oh damm... i did't realize that💀

[mild cloak]

Lol

[amber willow]

Anyway do you think the script "might work?"

[mild cloak]

Idk anything about scripting but try it out!! There’s no harm in trying things out

[amber willow]

alright also the only reason im using AI is cuz i don't know shit about scripting

[fallen cypress]

how is bro chatting here while same time chatting at chat

[mild cloak]

You can always hire a scripter there’s a lot of people looking to be hired in #scripter-hirable

[cold bison]

guys how i can paste part or script right into selected object without creating it in the workspace and moving?

[balmy zenith]

right click and paste into selected

[fallen gyro]

is it considered safe to send a remote event from the client regarding when a gui object is clicked with the player who clicked it as the only argument?

or should I do it on the server? If so how?

[balmy zenith]

ye its fine, just dont wire it up to anything critical

[pulsar falcon]

heyy

[shut ridge]

Is you fire server the player argument is automatically passed as an argument on server. You can just use the argument

[fallen gyro]

And this isn't exploitable?

[balmy zenith]

no

the player cannot be changed

[shut ridge]

Using : FireServer() this is passed from roblox

So no

[shut ridge]

As your sentence stated you are using:FireServer(player) which player is defined by the client 1) You have to declare player again on server using.onserverevent(player : Player, argplayer : Player) which doesn't make sense.

And every argument that sends from client can be edited by the exploiters using hook function

[fallen gyro]

I see.

[fallen gyro]

Thank you!

Yoo are u gonna pay

[snow raft]

bro

you come into this chat just to ragebait and troll

do you not feel pathetic

do you not feel ashamed

[shut sorrel]

Paid with experience

[verbal coyote]

Anyone know a reliable method to go about replicating smooth, consistent walking motion between 2 points? obviously tweens or a lerp was my first solution but the tweens CANNOT be handled on the clients, and must be consistent between all players, and the server ran tween; although extremely simple is causing too much issues

Im just trying to replicate the steal a brainrot mechanic of characters walking from carpet point to player base point, but my characters arent actual humanoid based rigs, and only use a model with a primary part and a anim controller

[elfin badger]

😅

[shut sorrel]

I've been using vector force works pretty good for me, align orientation to keep it upright

I use it for a tower defense point to point movement

[verbal coyote]

I was initally going to use Physics objects but I remember someone told me that physics invite more issues

like exploiters stealing network ownership and fucking with welds and what not

[shut sorrel]

I turn off collision for players so it is true some what, even physics can cause some lag, but it works fine for me as I can have up to 500 NPC without any lag on the server

[verbal coyote]

maybe I should multithread NPC walking

[verbal coyote]

fire

[shut sorrel]

This is also no humanoid and just animation controller

[verbal coyote]

can you show me the setup with the forces?

I see the pathway points

[shut sorrel]

it's a simple check for magnitude for to act as a MoveToFinished then goes to the next point

[obtuse harbor]

do i know you

[shut sorrel]

I try to avoid loops as much as I can but I have to use it for updating movement and changing waypoint

[orchid lance]

No hiring in chat, read #marketplace-info

[shut sorrel]

Yes but I don't rember where or why, I've just been in the server for a long time

[obtuse harbor]

that was a joke

bro really doesnt remember me

[shut sorrel]

Naw my memory is shit

[obtuse harbor]

thats fine ig

[shut sorrel]

I will remember if you remind me what happened tho

[obtuse harbor]

nothing much

we jus chatted together in RD

[shut sorrel]

Oh yeah in RD

I still don't rember about what

my memory only remembers game development logic

[obtuse harbor]

thats fine is ive told already

i jus got kicked out from RD

and keep seeing u guys chatting there

[shut sorrel]

Oh yeah weren't you a mod or something

[obtuse harbor]

but yall just pretend to not see me

[obtuse harbor]

[shut sorrel]

I knew your name looked so familiar I couldn't quite put my finger on it

[obtuse harbor]

i just still cant deal with them kicking me out for no reason

i guess i jus need to forget it

[shut sorrel]

That server is filled with noobs anyways, makes me feel like a genius even with my brian damage

[delicate shell]

Hi

[shut sorrel]

if this place is weeny hut jrs, RD is super weeny hut jrs

[orchid lance]

whos brian and why does he have damage

[verbal coyote]

@shut sorrel

Is there a reason you use VectorForce over Linear velocity?

smoother trajectory of the movement between points im assuming?

[brittle token]

since this message

[vernal peak]

DataStore request was added to queue. If request queue fills, further requests will be dropped. Try sending fewer requests.Key = 1588599057 - Studio

why ts get filled

I only got 1thing saving rn

[bitter harbor]

too many people scamming

[bitter harbor]

i prefer using profilestore

[vernal peak]

so u want me to save everything to a main table module then load and save only that?

[bitter harbor]

yeah

it’s easier

and it saves some memory

[lean ocean]

show network received

[vernal peak]

yo how do you put all the second modules into the main player profile module? rn im thinking I set them all as a metatableof the main profile module but im p sure u can only have 1 meta table

[pale meteor]

lerp a simple part on server nd on client make model of brainrot nd on tender step update the cframe to match the server part

[shut sorrel]

vectorforce is just a constant force regardless of mass, linearvelocity doesn't move parts the way I want because of friction

[pastel pine]

Hey so I want to make a system that detects wether or not the user is in a closed space. How could I go about doing it?

Like I was thinking raycasts

That get loaded in client side that go left right front back and above

And if the raycast hits nothing on all parts

Or hits maybe a combo

To adjust for terrain

Like top is exposed + front and back

Then that would classify as "open"

Is there an issue with using raycasts for how I want to do it here or am I fine with this idea?

These would all stem off the avatar obviously btw

[faint smelt]

no

[shut sorrel]

That sounds fine, if it's a pre made map you can also add hitboxs manually to detect when a player is inside a place to be even more accurate

[pastel pine]

Not a pre-made map

I'm using the built-in roblox terrain and there is an ability to dig or build with terrain

[vernal peak]

can I have rerolls as an int value or should I js have the server check a table stored with their values and upd the int value for the client?

Cuz I been using that second one for everything and I feel like I’m gon run out

[pastel pine]

Use a table

Safer on the server side

Idk why ur asking me this

[vernal peak]

I been doing the same with plr states using attributes

Wont I run out

Of space

now I used attributes and int value

I got nothing left

[shut sorrel]

Then I think the top raycast matters the most, the. The 4 in each direction if you add the magnitudes together and its less than 50 for example then you're in an enclosed space

[pastel pine]

Almost neglected magnitude thanks,

[stiff citrus]

Is using chat gpt for debugging and finding solutions to code things bad?

[pastel pine]

Wdym run out of space exactly

Like in datastore for the attributes?

[vernal peak]

I used attributes for player states, int value for rerolls, now I got no other method for the server to tell client what’s happening

[shut sorrel]

it's fine if you understand the code and just want to be a little faster, it's easy to over rely on it though

[stiff citrus]

Okay thanks

[pastel pine]

How exactly is everything organized in studio

If you don't mind sharing

[vernal peak]

I could add folders

But that’s gon cause lag

Waittttt nvm

Wait add yeah

Oh nvm I can js store it in a table on the client

[pastel pine]

Thats a little risky

Make sure you have some verification

Or just very good anti cheat

[shut sorrel]

I don't recommend storing player data on the client at all even if it is a little slower being on the server

[pastel pine]

Speaking of anti cheat does anyone also know how to detect an exploiters dex

Like the ui they parent to coreui

To mess around in ur game

[shut sorrel]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/easy-way-to-detect-dex-explorer/3853570

I'm not sure how well it works since I haven't used exploits before the synapse team joined Roblox years ago

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/anticheat-methods/2662072

[pastel pine]

I'll look into it thanks

[waxen salmon]

can someone help me? my proximity prompts never works (any game I make)

pls help

[pastel pine]

Turn off line of sight required

And no need to thank me ik for a fact that probably is what it is

[hearty sand]

Hey, so, If I set an attribute listener on a part instance, do I have to manually clear it on destroy or does it automatically destroy it? I'm getting conflicting information

[north marsh]

I'd like feedbacks (inspired in terminator)

[pastel pine]

That shit looks awesome

[azure night]

Damnnnn should make it have esps box when it spots someone like it'll put a box around the person or sum

[drowsy gull]

How can I make a part in Roblox drop instantly when a player steps on it, stay pressed and then return to its original position automatically when i step out without any delay ?

[azure night]

Honestly I can't tell you if I was myself and did it on the go I might be able to do it but I can't remember jack idk how people remember code

[uncut pier]

what are some ways you guys time things in accordance to an animation?
like for example using keyframe events in an animation to decide when to create a hitbox, just trying to see what unique ways are out there.

[azure night]

It's not a space in my brain

[uncut pier]

you could use .Touched for that as well as Tween Service

[azure night]

Touched:Connect or sum like that

[uncut pier]

yeah, part.Touched:Connect(function()) and part.TouchedEnded:Connect(function()), but idk prob better ways lol

[orchid lance]

No hiring in chat, read #marketplace-info

[green reef]

this doesnt work

[drowsy gull]

raycast?

[green reef]

but one thing that does work is something with preloadasync & using that to load certain assetids that dex explorer uses and some other random stuff

[green reef]

but this can be hooked by anyone with a brain so

attempting to detect dex explorer is pointless

[shut sorrel]

I really haven't payed attention to what exploits are like these days, I'm sure the modern Dex gets updated often for bypasses

[green reef]

Dex doesnt get updated

[shut sorrel]

Is it still possible to download places using Dex

[green reef]

u can still saveinstance yes

[shut sorrel]

nice

[uncut pier]

you could use a raycast, but for it to be fast like you want, you'd have to continuously check the raycast over and over again

[brave finch]

How do I prevent the player from being pushed back?

[potent ginkgo]

Use Constraints instead of Physics Movement

[brave finch]

Thanks!

[polar scaffold]

are you able to display meshes inside viewport frames?

[foggy burrow]

uhhhhhhh

i think so yes

you should be able to

[polar scaffold]

alr cuz idk it doesnt work for me

but tbh viewports jus dont work at all for me either

[wind wagon]

should i watch this? I am beginner

[foggy burrow]

your prob using it wrong

[foggy burrow]

sure gng

[wind wagon]

what u want me to do

[foggy burrow]

bros asking permission

😭

[wind wagon]

asking if its good guide or not

[foggy burrow]

brawl dev pretty good

learn to just code by doing tho

[wind wagon]

i will watch and type as he does

[foggy burrow]

no

dont do that shi gng gng

[wind wagon]

btw, how do you remember how to type all the codes correctly?

[foggy burrow]

just take notes and do it yourself

[wind wagon]

like all the commands and shit

[foggy burrow]

its pretty ez

[wind wagon]

for how long you been doing ts

[foggy burrow]

you just gotta know like 5 things

• loops
• conditional statments
• data types
• functions
• variables
• tables/dictionaries

mb 6 things

[foggy burrow]

3 years

[wind wagon]

how much you earn from simple tasks?

in usd

[foggy burrow]

uh i dont really do comms

i just work on my own projects

[wind wagon]

If i learn for 1 month can I start doing basic stuff?

or it will be hard

[foggy burrow]

dawg idk

its up to you

[polar scaffold]

i swear meshes cant be displayed in viewports

regular parts work for me

[foggy burrow]

how good you can code

[polar scaffold]

but not meshes

[foggy burrow]

and how fast you learn

uhh @polar scaffold

[edgy olive]

@potent ginkgo i dm'd u

[foggy burrow]

idk meshes are buggy

[wind wagon]

Is this shit hard to do???

script me a perk system including:
Juggernog
Speedcola
Doubletap
Quick Revive
Stamin-up

What is needed:
Perk order: using ui's, to make sure it shows perk icons in order
Sound: after the the proximity is clicked i want a jingle to play
Animation: need it to play an animation (drinking from the bottle)
2 Actual Perks: Currently only need Stamin-up & Jug to be fully functional, but want the other perk vending machines to have placeholders

[foggy burrow]

in view ports

[polar scaffold]

alr

i hope they make it work better

[edgy olive]

thats all simple

[polar scaffold]

cuz this makes my whole project uselss

[wind wagon]

for how long you need to learn luau to be able to do this

[foggy burrow]

yeah ez

[edgy olive]

how new are u

[polar scaffold]

10 years

[foggy burrow]

bro is very new

[wind wagon]

absolute 0

[edgy olive]

10 years at the rate of learning one line of code a day

[wind wagon]

only print("hello")

[foggy burrow]

dude

[edgy olive]

guys a noob

[foggy burrow]

@wind wagon bro we cant telll you how long its gonna take gng

its just depending on how fast it takes you to learn

[wind wagon]

yea, i should start instead

[polar scaffold]

yes

just do it

[foggy burrow]

why are you taking comms?

[edgy olive]

idk i've got 3 months and im pretty solid

and can confidently say thats the easiest scripting task i've heard so far

[wind wagon]

i want money to spend

[edgy olive]

besides tweening a door to open it

[foggy burrow]

but you dont even know how to code 😭

[wind wagon]

do you earn money

[wind wagon]

once i learn

[edgy olive]

i dont do comission

im on a dev team

[foggy burrow]

you should tell the dude comming you that you dont got any expreience gng

[wind wagon]

why yall dont take coms

that shit gives hella money, no?

[foggy burrow]

nah

[edgy olive]

cause profit is in owning and making the games and having hella % in shareholding of games

[foggy burrow]

yeah

[wind wagon]

i aint got no one coming to me.I was just asking price

[foggy burrow]

making games makes more

oh

alr

[proud sail]

It's gonna take you a while to get good enough to earn any sort of commision. I suggest you worry about learning 🙂 the money will come if/when you become good enough.

[edgy olive]

u need someone to do it for u anakin?

[foggy burrow]

nah i got it

ill take the comm

trust me

[edgy olive]

brother whatever anyone charges u for that is gonna be a goofy ahh rate

[foggy burrow]

3 years of expreience

ill do it for 15k rbx

[edgy olive]

4 little imagelabels and 4 functions

😭

15k is absurd

highway robbery

[foggy burrow]

sh

[wind wagon]

dont you have to turn robux into money from devex which is not really benefficial

[edgy olive]

yeah and even after getting taxed the 30-40%

ur still making 100x a comm rate

[wind wagon]

30k robux is 100 dollars

right

[edgy olive]

and imagine living free making the passive income and not having a client breathing down ur neck about every litttle aspect for their commission project that probably will never see the front page of roblox

[wind wagon]

what if the game you work on will be not succesfull

[edgy olive]

build a new one

[wind wagon]

plus, dont you need animator,effects, sound ,builder?

and other dudes

you have to spend money on them also

[edgy olive]

thats why u need to be multi talented and be efficient

or just find a team

play ur part

all get paid

[wind wagon]

you wont get paid much then or will you?

[edgy olive]

a % is better than no% and no game

[proud sail]

Or you take the risk and pay someone for the anims, fx, etc 🙂 and hope you make a return ont he game, at minimum, to get back what you invested.

[wind wagon]

well imagine someone tells you they will pay u in percents but then game flops

and he doesnt pay u shit

[edgy olive]

stay commission based and then offer % or recieve % once the game actually does something

[proud sail]

@wind wagon I can't tell what point you're trying to make. Video games is a risky business in general.

[edgy olive]

also ngl ur kinda just overwhelming urself with useless details to u as of right now

[wind wagon]

bet

[wind wagon]

gotta know everything not to make mistakes

[edgy olive]

ur at step 1 worried about step 30

😭

[wind wagon]

now the hard part

time to watch the tutorials.Please, I wish I will understand anything

[edgy olive]

i would suggest

just talking to other devs

those tutorials only go so far

for being generalized for u to understand

[orchid lance]

Don't take % from games that aren't already profiting

[wind wagon]

i was animating

and got some robux from it

like 5k

Now I decided to switch

[wind wagon]

okay

will remember that

[edgy olive]

if games are upside down (yet to be profiting) dont take a %

thats a losing battle

@wind wagon good tip since u are brand new, start with learning classes for scripting and calling upon stuff, and also learn about VSC Rojo to studio link

will be super annoying at first but will save u months and poorly spent time

[wind wagon]

bet

[dry hamlet]

@wind wagon

i can be your personal scripting guide

[wind wagon]

bet

[dry hamlet]

but can i get me some robux?

actually yk what

ill do it for free

jsut in exchange i want help with games i make

@wind wagon i sent a dm

[wind wagon]

Ok.

I learned print

something atleast

Now data types

[formal jackal]

Rojo is a trap

[wind wagon]

whats Rojo

[formal jackal]

Let's you use vs with roblox

https://rojo.space/

[edgy olive]

u think roblox will jus ban users?

[formal jackal]

No its a trap because in terms of roblox its the same as in editor with extra steps

The only real advantage is git support for backups / source control if you choose to go that route. Though I guess clicking / save new project is really hard

[fair copper]

finally adding some parrying mechanics
heres the anims i got made
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1397483105710899230/1435012143656210572/2025-11-03_23-04-35.mp4?ex=690a6ab4&is=69091934&hm=d4cd3b17374e0d5db4e72348c7b76dbdf7eefa218e74c633bf0d7f6ff952ca3b&

[green reef]

Not the same editor, I like using VS Code way more since Luau LSP has better autocomplete & there's more extensions & themes for VS Code than there is for Roblox

It is annoying having to tab back n fourth but its no different than clicking between tabs in Studio so there's practically zero reasons why you shouldn't use VSC

[burnt lotus]

Would anyone here be able to add a entityservice to my game to make my fighting styles modular and be able to configure things qsuch as hitbox duration diff hit vfx changable things like that etc and also compatible for the future when i want to add weapons

• organize my games code

if ur interested shoot me a dm i can pay

[next onyx]

dont pick one and stick with it

literally jump around for a while to get the syntax down and the VERY VERY basics

once youve gotten that down, you dont need to learn a single service

do not watch about datastores or soundservice or httpservice or whatever the hell

once youve gotten the basics down, try making a game and when you dont know how to do something, search that specific thing up

[burnt lotus]

This plus replacing/reorganizing my scripts/code plus adding a grip a carry and adding like a skill system plus with cutscene skill system like ultimate plus mode system like configurable and stuff i can prob pay around

[sour elm]

Does anyone know how I can get a natural rotational affect based on world physics for a R6 Model that is under a ragdolled state? I attach an r6 model (which is always ragdolled) to the player characters model, it works fine since the characters limbs are based off the physics the player characters movement simulates. However the problem is the torso's rotation not moving along with the physics I tried things like align orientation, vector-forces, angular-velocities and they just kept the rotation fixed (because im setting it to an attachment).

I wanna know how I can make the torso's orientation feel natural abiding by the physics the characters movement simulates, just like how the ballsocketconstraints work with the r6 characters limbs anyone got any ideas?

[balmy zenith]

align orientation should work?

[sour elm]

Please read first

[balmy zenith]

i did

[iron vigil]

idk man the github copilot might be worth..

[balmy zenith]

i dont understand most of what you said tho

[sour elm]

You clearly did not

[balmy zenith]

i did..

could you like send a video or something cuz i dont get what you mean

im assuming you have like an anchor or reference that is the controlled movement, than have an active ragdoll follow said movement?

but currently it doesnt rotate with it or something? and you want it to rotate?

[sour elm]

@balmy zenith can I explain it to you in dms so I don't flood this chat so others can also read my message incase they also figure out the problem?

[winter yacht]

https://onecompiler.com/lua/4435zz27h

[balmy zenith]

you could explain it here, im sure someone will appreciate the extra info if they also dont understand it

[sour elm]

The problem is I risk leaking my game idea which I don't want to do 😅

[balmy zenith]

i doubt the game idea is that unique?

[winter yacht]

No one gives a damn

[balmy zenith]

active ragdoll is not a unique idea

[neat mauve]

Dw the idea isnt that good

[balmy zenith]

its in many games

[sour elm]

You guys don't even know my idea

[balmy zenith]

i dont think you have to say your idea to be helped tho?

all i get from you rn is active ragdoll

which isnt new

[dark marlin]

hey guys does anyone know an emulator that can get the calls from catalog avatar creator ?

[proud idol]

bites? you mean bytes?

[somber vault]

i already got it wrong 🙁

[proud idol]

you need a proxy server

[somber vault]

use ur phone then open it then connect it to ur comuter and then u will see all the code running

[proud idol]

wdym lol

[dark marlin]

can u explain a bit more

[proud idol]

roblox doesnt allow http requests made directly to the roblox catalog

you need some sort of mask

and that mask is the proxy server

does anyone have a solution for m1 animations being different in a battlegrounds game?
i don't want each character to have their own m1 script i want it to be universal, but some weapons are welded to specific characters and are larger needing special animations

[jade saffron]

How does sab and gag handle their mutations? Do they recolor the whole thing with script or do they recolor the model normally with no script and then put the entire set on a new folder

[mighty dawn]

i think manually no script

as they aren't 1 color i tihkn

[proud sail]

IMO, a color change should be done via script (if possible. I'm still new to roblox). A new asset just for a color change (no change to the model shape) feels expensive.

[hearty sand]

hey, so, before I dive into the wonderful world of ✨ netcode ✨ and subsequently die inside, are there any libraries that handle some of (or all of it) for you?

[wise turtle]

what are you trying to achieve

[hearty sand]

client prediction, lag compensation, etc

just solid netcode really

if not its fine, but i don't wanna reinvent the wheel if it exists

[wise turtle]

I made a library that handles custom physics replication of any object, but implementations of client prediction & lag compensation are not really game agnostic. There exists hitbox systems with lag compensation features and also custom server authoritative humanoid systems, but not any generalized frameworks

roblox is also releasing https://tenebrisnoctua.github.io/ServerAuthority/ soon™

[hearty sand]

isn't the server already the single truth source?

[wise turtle]

characters are client owned

[hearty sand]

ah, well that's easy enough to get around though, no?

anyways, seems like I'll just have to work on my own implementation. ty

[sturdy kindle]

is thedevking and brawldevs scripting tuts still good to follow

[wise turtle]

server auth movement often comes with a set of challenges

[wise turtle]

brawldev maybe

thedevking prob not

[hearty sand]

What kind of challenges? If I already have client prediction setup then I don't see how it would be too difficult, unless theres something unique to roblox im unaware of

[sturdy kindle]

how can i learn then? documentation?

[wise turtle]

I haven't tried it myself but a team of engineers with 20 years of experience seems to have failed to do it

[hearty sand]

That... seems unreasonable. Was there a paper or article or something done on it?

[wise turtle]

https://github.com/easy-games/chickynoid

[hearty sand]

What part of this was deemed a failure?

this is basically what I was wanting to setup lol

[south timber]

how could i make it so a player makes a custom gradient and it gets put into the ui gradient

is that possible

[wise turtle]

it was laggy

[hearty sand]

For server, client, or both?

[wise turtle]

both

the roblox engine is extremely optimized esp for bad mobile hardware and chickynoid could not match that performance

its also still missing a lot of features

easy.gg used it in prod and had to discontinue the game cus of the bad performance

its pretty much unusable

[paper current]

It’s possible, it’s a bit painful tho mainly if you want it to be highly customizable by the player

Dm me

[hearty sand]

thats a shame. part of me still wants to try, but the other part of me is hesitant

[south timber]

Nevermind I got it

[frail plaza]

how hard are inverse kinematics to learn

[wise turtle]

not hard

[frail plaza]

are they worth it to learn

like not obscure?

[wise turtle]

if you know forward kinematics (given an angle, compute what happens) then just do the opposite (given what happens, find the angle)

[wise turtle]

yes

[frail plaza]

i dont know what kinematics are

😭

i thought inverse kinematics are just the same thin

[wise turtle]

Hello my gang

oh wrong channel

[remote bear]

i have been messing around with text labels and richtext and i noticed something. When you update alot of text like random noise it lags for around a frame or 2 then settles, But when i asign the same text value it doesn't do that. This is most likely because it constantly checks if its the same string value and if it is it will not update. These checks witch would take a bit when scaling up, so it makes sense that constantly updating text with noise has a slight delay. Is there a way of flagging these checks or some other method?

[bold hound]

You seriously use .Value to change a text?

[limpid hawk]

how did someone learn to script good? Because i know the basics (watched all brawl dev series, and practiced), but how do i become actually good?

[green reef]

experience

just script random stuff

whatever u have fun doing just script it

and then addon to it & learn from it

[limpid hawk]

alr thanks

[graceful delta]

why the fuck does scripting have to be such a head ache

just let me animations be visible man 🥀

[green reef]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Animation

[graceful delta]

no what i mean is

i can have it play client side

but no opne else can see it

[green reef]

yep thats why i sent that link

Loading an Animation on Client or Server

In order for AnimationTracks to replicate correctly, it's important to know when they should be loaded on the client or on the server:

    If an Animator is a descendant of a Humanoid or AnimationController in a player's Player.Character, animations started on that player's client will be replicated to the server and other clients.

    If the Animator is not a descendant of a player character, its animations must be loaded and started on the server to replicate.

The Animator object must be initially created on the server and replicated to clients for animation replication to work at all. If an Animator is created locally, then AnimationTracks loaded with that Animator will not replicate.

See also Animation Editor and Using Animations to learn how to create and add pre-built or custom animations to your game.

[graceful delta]

now this is why we dont give up and consult the buiolt in AI for help

that shit had me running through hoops

im gonna sound stupid for asking this, but do i need to manually create an animator asset in each player or do they come with one? I'm only used to using "Humanoid"

oh wait nvm theres one in humanoid

[vernal peak]

is there any way to update all ur variables if u rename ur folder?

[burnt lotus]

does anyone have a skill system /framework i can use to make like normal baseplate skills i cant find any

[late merlin]

try putting local flatLook = Vector3.new(cf.LookVector.X, cf.LookVector.Y, cf.LookVector.Z)

[hoary cedar]

A variable already holding a reference to an instance does not need to reestablish that reference if the instance's name is changed. The variable's name has no relationship with the instance's name either

[late merlin]

if your talking like folder.variableone folder.variable two or some using object value and set it to folder and itll always do it

[hoary cedar]

I will ask anyway, if having a server script that manages all remotes etc is good to have? If ykwim

[maiden abyss]

maybe

[snow raft]

bro what

you can do shit however you want as long as it works and works well

i personally have one main server script in serverscriptservice that handles the remotes then a bunch of modulescripts that do the rest

[eternal coyote]

anyone has any idea why when I play 30-40 animations on 40 different models (idle animation) after like 4 seconds studio/game just instantly closes (crashes basically)
i'm playing it the right way so its not the way I play the animations but what could it be ?

[snow raft]

show code

[eternal coyote]

task.spawn(function() print("Tasks pawn running") local AnimTrack = AnimationsFolder:FindFirstChild(BrainrotModel.Name) if AnimTrack then local AnimationController = Clone:FindFirstChild("AnimationController") if AnimationController then local Animator = AnimationController:FindFirstChild("Animator") if Animator then local AnimToPlay = Animator:LoadAnimation(AnimTrack) AnimToPlay.Looped = true AnimToPlay:Play() else warn("Animator not found in AnimationController.") end else warn("AnimationController not found in Clone.") end else warn("AnimTrack not found for: " .. BrainrotModel.Name) end end)```

discord messed it up

[snow raft]

task.spawn(function()
    print("Task spawn running");

    local AnimTrack = AnimationsFolder:FindFirstChild(BrainrotModel.Name);
    assert(AnimTrack, "AnimTrack not found for: " .. BrainrotModel.Name);
    
    local AnimationController = Clone:FindFirstChild("AnimationController");
    assert(AnimationController, "AnimationController not found in Clone.");

    local Animator = AnimationController:FindFirstChild("Animator");
    assert(Animator, "Animator not found in AnimationController.");
    
    local AnimToPlay = Animator:LoadAnimation(AnimTrack)
    AnimToPlay.Looped = true
    AnimToPlay:Play()
end)

dont nest stuff like that

its hard to read

[eternal coyote]

^

[snow raft]

I know

I had chat gpt add white space so i could read it then i went back and corrected it

[eternal coyote]

ah I see

[snow raft]

anyways

there is no issue with that

[eternal coyote]

this is probably a model related issue though it looks fine to me

[snow raft]

that cant be the problem

if you are getting no errors that is

[eternal coyote]

yeah no errors

I never crash if I don't play animations

[snow raft]

how many times do the animations begin

is it in a loop that doesnt check if they are already playing / been played

[eternal coyote]

it just plays it once

[eternal coyote]

its in the function that spawns the model and runs this on it

[snow raft]

is the script inherited to the part that is cloned?

[eternal coyote]

no its a module

[snow raft]

idk i dont have enough info

[eternal coyote]

[ember edge]

make the animation more long.

[ivory oxide]

Dont think thats gonna fix the issue with the animation showing the player moving fowards, cus when i move the hrp foward the animation is also (visually) moving it so it snaps back cuz its not wctually there

guys can someone help me? why when i morph into a morph my camera gets stuck at the morphpad?

[mental pine]

what do yall think this was coded in

[cunning obsidian]

java probably

[mental pine]

nope

[cunning obsidian]

can you help me tho?

[mental pine]

with what

[cunning obsidian]

this

[mental pine]

i have no idea with lua

[cunning obsidian]

ok

[mental pine]

it was made with html and css 😄

[kind siren]

is it possible to script a script that makes everyone r6, expect whilelisted forced to be r15?

[autumn venture]

yeah

[kind siren]

im trying to make it but every time it make the camera not work anymore or the player model is just black

[autumn venture]

ok

[finite pier]

Dont move the hrp and move the hrp with a script and make it look like the anim is tping u

[kind siren]

i tried asking couple ai stuff and they saying its impossible so im just stuck

[finite pier]

Or u could just tp them to where theyd be but honestly id just do that bc of walls n stuff

[finite pier]

R the BodyColors values reset in the character

Wnd if ur making character parts in general make sure hrp is primarypart and set the camerasubject to character

[twilit tartan]

Who is a scripter that wanna start learn scripting with me

My lvl at scripting is not noob but not nice and good

[kind siren]

idk at this point lol, even ai gave up

[twilit tartan]

Dm me if you want

[finite pier]

Send it

Usually the better method is just to have an r6 rig and a r15 rig and just get their hum desc and apply it to the humanoid, delete their char and set it to that new rig tho i forget if u can directly set .character

[kind siren]

ima dm it cuz i dont have nitro

[kind siren]

i sent it

I have another project I Own called World of Assassins—it’s still in development, but I grew the Discord to 500+ members in a month and accumulated over 100k views. Dm me if interested.

[balmy zenith]

im 100% negative bro

[buoyant coral]

ok

[patent sonnet]

is the name just a placeholder or set in stone

because i can already tell you by that title that game is NOT blowing up

[buoyant coral]

i disagree

[patent sonnet]

ok whats the appeal

im actually curious

[buoyant coral]

are you a scripter

[balmy zenith]

yep

its not a good name

its not conveying enough

[patent sonnet]

no im not

[balmy zenith]

what the hell is "pit of death"

it doesnt seem interesting

[patent sonnet]

and how are you mining it

[balmy zenith]

that too

how do you mine a pit

[patent sonnet]

also its pretty long for a game name

[buoyant coral]

"im curious"

.

[balmy zenith]

alao that

[patent sonnet]

its not easy to understand

[balmy zenith]

yes whats good about the game

the title is quite bad

[patent sonnet]

its not a general idea that a grandma and a little kid could understand

[balmy zenith]

it should be like 5 words max

[patent sonnet]

grow a garden, everyone could have about the same thought about it

[balmy zenith]

easy and instantly understandable

[patent sonnet]

we arent shitting on your game btw

[buoyant coral]

ok ill take that into consideration

[patent sonnet]

yeah like whats the general game idea, how are you gonna make money from it, and how will it appeal to kids

[buoyant coral]

if ur not a scripter tryna work i cant talk

[patent sonnet]

just the general idea

or how your gonna make money

man going off of the name you had for the game its probably gonna need some feedback to be the next grow a garden

[balmy zenith]

being next grow a garden bout a 0.001% chance

[balmy zenith]

aint that automatic

press \ on your keyboard n try

[winter magnet]

im excited to build my very first game that i will actually love

[balmy zenith]

ok

[wise turtle]

im happy for you

[lost gulch]

who codes in c++

[potent dune]

I'm gonna fucking hurt someone bro

i hate this stupid engine

[lost gulch]

Trust the process

[potent dune]

what do you mean bro

[lost gulch]

like

Don’t get mad

chill for a moment

[potent dune]

there is no process

i dont know what to do about this

i mean it works, the errors are just annoying

can i lowkey hide errors???

[lost gulch]

hm

[inland dirge]

does anyone have any tips for learning how to code lua (in roblox)

[rocky sandal]

Watch a YouTube course

Or higher someone to teach u

Or find an online course

[inland dirge]

do u have any youtube courses that u would reccomend?

[rocky sandal]

Let me see if I can find

[inland dirge]

i've watched a few but most of them cover stuff i already know

[lost gulch]

if you want real experience you gotta learn programming first and learn about Data structure’s algorithms arrays and memory

[rocky sandal]

Ye

[inland dirge]

i know a lil bit of programming

like the absolute basics

[rocky sandal]

Just look up an online course

[lost gulch]

that’s good but you gotta learn more yk

[lost gulch]

Try CS50

[balmy zenith]

thats not what the error is

[lost gulch]

It would explain more about programming

[inland dirge]

I wanna actually do something yk, not just like learn a coding language.

[lost gulch]

And then begin learning about luau

[lost gulch]

yeah ik what you are trying to say but

u gotta understand how the system works and understand what you are typing

[balmy zenith]

so can you code in luau already or no?

[inland dirge]

luau is also a very easy language from what i've heard and from what i already know

[inland dirge]

a little bit

[balmy zenith]

yes so do you know how to use it?

[inland dirge]

but not very good

[balmy zenith]

wym on not very good

do you know all fundamentals?

[lost gulch]

if you learn about the basic of programming then surely you will learn about Luau so much easier

[balmy zenith]

functions,returns, scopes, tables, etc

[inland dirge]

i know variables, functions, if statements

[lost gulch]

arrays as well

[balmy zenith]

still lacking fundamentals then

learn all luau fundamentals first

[inland dirge]

what are scopes again

[balmy zenith]

hard to explain

just the scope of work you have ig

not sure how to explain it goodly

[lost gulch]

Scopes are just basically

[balmy zenith]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/luau/scope

[lost gulch]

Where you name a variable and a function

Also classes as well

[balmy zenith]

no such thing as classes in luau

[lost gulch]

There is like global scopes local scopes etc but you gotta do your own research

[lost gulch]

Modules

I meant

[balmy zenith]

sure

[inland dirge]

well i know that

[balmy zenith]

this should help

higher scopes cant access inner scopes, basically it

[lost gulch]

I’m glad there such thing as scripting

if there wasn’t then pointers would be so annoying

Lmao

[inland dirge]

that helped me

[lost gulch]

@balmy zenith there is no recursion in luau correct?

[balmy zenith]

there is

theres a limit, but its allowed

[lost gulch]

I see

thanks for the info

appreciate it

[balmy zenith]

avoid when possible cuz it aint the most performant

[lost gulch]

okay

[inland dirge]

i could probably create basic scripts like spawning a block when you touch another block or sm like that

[marsh kelp]

FindFirstChild

[fair shoal]

is an inheritance based cutscene class a good idea or nah

[balmy zenith]

whay

inheritance very mid

[wheat pumice]

pointers are easy

i dont get the issues people have

its just a POINTER of type to the data

[wheat pumice]

like every language it has its limits

as the stack can only be so large before it overflows

usually on windows its 4MB or 8MB iirc

nvm 1MB

on msvc

[orchid arch]

yall suck

[pliant anvil]

quick question when im using a module dont put the game.localplayer on top just put it in the modules function to avoid the error?

[balmy zenith]

that doesnt make sense

[lean ocean]

I mean if you know the modules only gonna be required by the client

[balmy zenith]

which you should

[lean ocean]

You can put it at top

[balmy zenith]

you shoulsnt have a module be required by both client and server

[split fable]

What can i use raycasting for?

[foggy turret]

guys i have one problem

[stuck heron]

eyes

[foggy turret]

see this vedio idk how i set its camera and its pos

[split fable]

Wha-

[foggy turret]

can anyone tell

[stuck heron]

you can use it for mosue raycasting

[split fable]

Wait hold on im dumb i don't understand

[stuck heron]

Raycasting is used in gun games

[lean ocean]

Alot of stuff

Projectiles, building systems

[foggy turret]

hey yoo

listen

@lean ocean

[split fable]

So it can be used for light aswell?

[lean ocean]

I can name more but yea

[stuck heron]

what are you trying to do

[split fable]

Or is like raycasting only for the player?

[lean ocean]

what u mean by light

[split fable]

Realistic lighting in game

[lean ocean]

I mean sure

well

You can make raytracing but it might be laggy

[split fable]

Ah

But it is optimizable right? Or no?

Depending on script ofc but lets say it lags it is probs possible to get rid of it?

[split fable]

Im tryna make horror game so im tryna find a way to get good light and other stuff so yh js asking few questions abt stuff if it is worth it or not

[lean ocean]

Idk people have done it in the past

My internets chopped right now

You would probably use parallel luau with it to optimize it more

[split fable]

Ight

[lean ocean]

?

[split fable]

I find scripting hard ngl sometimes xd

I might have to start with putting stuff in notes lol to js remember

[balmy zenith]

custom lighting is not easy

[split fable]

Yeah im aware, ill take the challange

[balmy zenith]

youd at least need to know the theory

theres many standard tutorials out there for the usual gi or raytracing

but anything other than that, you will have to read papers or other very detailed stuff

[split fable]

I think i understand it

[balmy zenith]

not as simple as it looks

[split fable]

Yeah nothing is

[balmy zenith]

i recommended using voxel(soft) lighting if you want custom global illumination

future lighting would lag very hard

[split fable]

Oh?

[balmy zenith]

each light is rendered, so its expensive

[split fable]

Expensive?

[balmy zenith]

laggy

expensive in performance

[split fable]

Aha well i can try smth to make it not laggy

[balmy zenith]

voxel lighting barely lags because it doesnt render each light

and can handle a SHIT TON of lights

[split fable]

I can try making it stop rendering when the player look away from the light so it dont kill preformance

[balmy zenith]

what light are you tryna make?

[split fable]

Smth for horror

[balmy zenith]

so like global illumation or?

light with shadows?

why does horror need custom lighting?

[split fable]

Yh

[balmy zenith]

roblox already has lights with shadows so

[split fable]

I wanna make a good horror
