[normal jasper]

this just makes it look like as soon as the player hits, the movement happened, my current issue is performance

[dark juniper]

Your gonna try creating a prediction on a chaotic system like a character?

[normal jasper]

yes.., this is how multiplayer games work

[dark juniper]

Ok but you can’t do that unless you want to virtually simulate it on the attackers client

Then if your virtual simulation fails on the server it’s just gonna look as goofy as it does when it lags

[normal jasper]

right thats basically how you do it, you create what ever you want to happen on the client

[normal jasper]

server reconciliation handles this

[dark juniper]

Idk man this is silly u can’t work around ping try unplugging your internet from any battlegrounds game or join a really laggy server

Not even the smartest people have a solution for this one chief

[normal jasper]

brother im not trying to solve the core issue of latency, im not working around ping, im working with ping, these are just strategies that give the illusion of response

[dark juniper]

You could give the illusion of response but when something doesn’t line up accordingly based on ping your illusions will just create as much confusion as lag itself

It’s just more reliable to rely on consistency over illusion

[normal jasper]

right as i said before server reconciliation

[dark juniper]

How does server reconciliation work

Can you explain that to me

[normal jasper]

so basically the server has a copy of the game's state before a client sent an action, when the client send some request to affect game state and the request is invalid, the server will basically rollback the clients game state to maintain consistency

this all happens in ms btw, so the changes dont feel as "present"

an example of this is when you play fortnite or some, and you clearly just headshot somebody, but they took no damage

thats because the client prediction of what happened and what the server validates dont agree

https://www.gabrielgambetta.com/client-server-game-architecture.html

you can read this for a more detailed explanation

[dark juniper]

So if I start attacking and the animation starts playing and then my remote reaches the server will the remote refire to the client to cancel my animation

If invalid conditions are met

[normal jasper]

precisely

but if its valid, it would just continue, therefore giving you the illusion of resposiveness, eliminating the delay while affecting game state

[dark juniper]

It’s not a bad idea but you just don’t want the player to be cheated

Constantly rolling back combat states could give weird visual effects

[normal jasper]

this is just an unfortunate consequence that all multiplayer games have to deal with, but its are trade off thats worth it solely due to the responsiveness, and anyway the player doesnt necessarily get "cheated" even that how it feels, if the server disagrees then thats just the truth and the rollback must happen

but we can alleviate this with using lag compensation

gives the player more time based on how much latency they have, so that they have a better oppurtunity of having the server validate an action

[tidal shuttle]

Anyone know how to organize module scripts?

Like a template or general structure

[broken briar]

a module loader usually gets the job done

[wild vector]

yo doing simple scripting commissions for free dm me

[broken briar]

how simple

[wild vector]

if u got smth lmk and ill see if i can d oit

[ancient halo]

I'm making a slide module class that uses a linearvelocity constraint. I'm trying to use a CFrame to snap the player character to the surface of the slope

it's working

but not as well

[broken briar]

you should use raycast and lookvector

you should never update a cframe every frame

[ancient halo]

really?

why not?

[wide magnet]

?????????????????????????????????????????

[wide magnet]

he is either a troll or brain damaged

[ancient halo]

ok

[open osprey]

where to apply for skills role ui

[wise turtle]

updating a cframe every frame is the easiest way to explode the server.

u should ideally only be updating a cframe every 5 seconds because it performs a lot of calculations

[wide magnet]

nothing was said about the server

the guy was talking about character controlling code which is inherently client sided on roblox which the server the replicates

[wise turtle]

client side is even worse because ur device can handle less than the server

just update cframes every 10 minutes

[wide magnet]

Wow

[slender cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/hmmmmmmm-hmmmmmm-hmmmm-hm-hmm-gif-2339932555530048784

hehe

[obsidian vessel]

i swear to fucking god i rotated one part why the fuck is the script freaking out

[wise turtle]

u probably rotated the part every frame

u should only be rotating every 10+ minutes for maximum performance

[shut sorrel]

don't rotate the part at all for max performance

[wise turtle]

indeed

all objects should be static and anchored

[obsidian vessel]

no like

i rotated it in the uhh

with the rotation tool

and now the script inside it

is living its own life

[wise turtle]

the rotation tool rotates things every frame thats why.

[obsidian vessel]

Hi i need help

So I have a ball basketball to be exact and I want to press a gui and on that gui is a meter showing the percentage of me making the ball go in the basket and the basket has higher chances of going in when you have upgraded you stuff and how do I make each ball has more multiplier based on their rarity

[spice crow]

When can I start making stuff for like commisions like inventory systems pet system and more

[plucky eagle]

is there a way to start 2 test servers in studio? i want to test messaging service

[shut sorrel]

No but I really wish they would add that

[dapper night]

nope

[compact fossil]

can someone make a fixed version of this

for i = 1, 100000 do
if i == 10 then
print("i is equal to 10, so skip this iteration")
continue
end

if i == 200 then 
    break
end

    print("this statement is printed")

end
-- print("hello")
local counter = 1

while counter <= 10000000 do
print("this while statement is printed")

counter = counter + 1

end

if counter == 200 then
break
end

[unreal nest]

Hİ

[unreal nest]

yes

🤔

[obsidian geyser]

Very nice

[gaunt turret]

Huh what’s wrong

[compact fossil]

it wont run

[gaunt turret]

is that the whole script

[compact fossil]

yeah

[gaunt turret]

delete continue, idk what that does

U dont need it anyway

The loop will continue aslong ss u dont break it

[compact fossil]

ok

[shut sorrel]

if counter 200 needs to be in the while loop, it will finish the while loop then go to the if statement after how it is, also add a task.wait() to for loops and while loops or else it will crash studio

[gaunt turret]

also after ur if counter == 200 it won’t break cuz it’s not in the loop

Use task.spawn too

so u don’t freeze ur whole script

for some loops

[iron kraken]

what is it breaking tho

but if thats ur entire script it shud run

[shut sorrel]

He shouldn't use task.spawn in this instance, he needs to put the if counter 200 break in the while loop

[gaunt turret]

he js has errors

breaks, and continues and using taskspawn

[woeful arrow]

why does read voxels just return enum.air for everything when there is grass

@opaque nest Could I speak with you for a moment?

[light condor]

vro continue is legit base programming knowledge 😭

[light condor]

for i = 1, 1_000_000 do
  if i == 10 then
    print("i is equal to 10, so skip this iteration")

    continue
  end

  -- why loop to 1,000,000 if it always breaks at 200?
  if i == 200 then
    break
  end

  print("this statement is printed")
end

local Counter = 1

-- dude this will cause an obviously bad script exhaust timeout
while Counter <= 10_000_000 do
  -- either way this will absolutely tank framerate.
  print("this while statement is printed")

  Counter += 1

  -- add a task.wait()
  task.wait()
end

-- this is supposed to be inside of the while loop?
-- I'd assume so, if not then like why.
if Counter == 200 then
  break
end

[gaunt turret]

I’ve never used continue

[regal salmon]

continue does not just continue the loop, it skips the rest of the iteration's code and moves to the next iteration

[light condor]

continue is where it skips the iteration in a loop

it's really really useful

[light condor]

imagine if you had a blacklist where you can't iterate over certain items in a table:

local Blacklist = {"Carrot", "Tomato"}

local ItemList = {"Olives", "Carrot", "Olives", "Tomato", "Pineapple"}

for i, Item in ItemList do
  if table.find(Blacklist, Item) then
    -- move onto next item!
    continue
  end

  print(Item, "was added to inventory :)")
end

physics is going to have to do unless you want custom physics which are pretty easy, but for a dodgeball roblox physics is fine, for a physics related object you should never tween

[spiral jungle]

I use tweening for custom physics

[merry saddle]

Why would you tween for dodgeball?

It may be possible though I believe it requires much more work compared to just using the normal roblox physics

[spiral jungle]

Roblox physics are really unreliable

Especially if you want a skill based game

Where you throw the ball

So you can run the physics on the server and tween on the client so it’s smooth

And controlled

[lean ocean]

what about lerping

[mossy shoal]

yea i mentioned lerping

cus tweening itself is like not that good either

but compared to physics ya

[spiral jungle]

I mean I guess lerping works

[balmy zenith]

just simulate it

what are good metrics to measure code productivity? me and my team would like to split our percentages according to how productive we are but we dont have a good metric for that

number of commits is bad because some of us commit a lot of small changes while some commit few big changes

number of prs is bad because some prs are small patches while some are complex new features

and number of lines changed is bad because sometimes we can paste code from the internet or maybe just add lots of lines that are just configuration tables and not actual logical code

[ivory bronze]

why doesnt it print anything when the attribute already exists? ```lua
function StateManager.CreateAttribute(character: Model, name: string, value: any, duration: number)

end

character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()

Hello can someone help me? Im using pathfind but after a few minutes my npc start to move like in the video like if i had lag but i dont, at the begining everything works perfectly, anyone knows why?

[kindred heart]

if it gets progressibely worse then u probably have code repeating itself somewhere, idk but make sure its not repeating the same pathfinding multiple times when uve alreadyy checked it

[cerulean sparrow]

Im trying that but idk why it doesnt work

Its too hard :((

[iron kraken]

is that stardew valley

it looks kinda good

[iron kraken]

because the npcs are constnatly repathfinding which is causing stutter because u keep calling move on them rapidly

Set network ownership to nil

[iron kraken]

could be that if u enabled network delay

[twin cairn]

Hey what's up everyone!

Was just curious how everyone here handles caching their Playerdata once it was loaded from the datastore

[regal salmon]

i'd usually just add it to a dictionary with the player's user id as a key

[twin cairn]

Then have a function for when it gets updated or is requested? Or how do you go about using it for the game? I've played around with making a DataService Module and caching everything in a dictionary in there but haven't really seen the benefits compared to player attributes making it easily acceisble from all Server side scripts (ofcourse don't rely on the client haha!)

[regal salmon]

it's really up to preference, both are technically viable.
i'd have functions for updating, deleting, and getting, and they can be used by all server scripts as long as theyre in a module
and if i want access on the clients, i use RemoteFunctions

[twin cairn]

Never get scared of overloading the server by trying to retreive too much data? I.E 20 players at the same time opening the store? or is that negligible

[regal salmon]

i doubt roblox would be unable to handle it

[copper spoke]

[regal salmon]

and you typically wont have that many players trying to retrieve data at once anyway

[twin cairn]

That's a fair point. Might be thinking about it too much lol.

Currently only call the DataStoreService once when the player loads, the rest is cached. Most of that is called only when opening a shop or trying to select a mission. That isn't something you're doing 40 times a second so shouldn't really be an issue performance wise

[regal salmon]

yeah, the only times you really need to access the datastoreservice are when the player joins and when the player leaves

with few exceptions that are specific to what youre doing

[lusty barn]

good to make backup autosaves every few minutes

just in case idk lol

[slender raft]

yall think tryna make a black hole is a good starter project or na

[neat oyster]

for learning particle effects yea

you'd learn about overlapparams and stuff too

if you're trying to grab nearby things and add forces to them with workspace:GetPartBoundsInRadius()

[neat oyster]

^

for player characters you'd have to add the forces locally since they're the one's in charge of their character position

[next heart]

ggs

gemini 3 scares me

[slender raft]

I mean like scripting it

[slender raft]

Hmm

[fierce meteor]

anyone tryna help me with a game?

[neat oyster]

players have ownership of their character model, that's kinda why exploiters can basically fly in every game that doesnt have checks

but it needs to be that way for the instant response when controlling their character

with anti-exploit server code you'd do stuff like keep updating a table of player location to see if they're staying in the air in one location for a while or if they move weirdly in the air like changing directions

one neat thing you can do is make a localscript with a while loop in it but destroy the script so there's code checking locally for weird exploits but the script doesn't really show it's there (while loops keep going even when the script is destroyed)

[slender raft]

That's neat

So I was thinking of using vector force instead of overlapparams

Any opinions on that

Honestly not even sure what overlapparms are so I'll go read about them

[hasty laurel]

im trying to make a phone and I'm working on the gui currently. im using the following code for all the numbers and characters on the gui the player can input for a number but I feel like theres got to be a better way then using like 10 of the same chunks of code.

star.Activated:Connect(function()
    if beepSound.isPlaying == true then
        beepSound:Stop()
        beepSound:Play()
    else
        beepSound:Play()
    end
    
    if number.Text == "..." then
        number.Text = "*"
    else
        number.Text = number.Text .. "*"
    end
end)```

it's just this x4

one.Activated:Connect(function()
    if beepSound.isPlaying == true then
        beepSound:Stop()
        beepSound:Play()
    else
        beepSound:Play()
    end
    
    if number.Text == "..." then
        number.Text = "1"
    else
        number.Text = number.Text .. "1"
    end
end)

two.Activated:Connect(function()
    if beepSound.isPlaying == true then
        beepSound:Stop()
        beepSound:Play()
    else
        beepSound:Play()
    end
    
    if number.Text == "..." then
        number.Text = "2"
    else
        number.Text = number.Text .. "2"
    end
end)

three.Activated:Connect(function()
    if beepSound.isPlaying == true then
        beepSound:Stop()
        beepSound:Play()
    else
        beepSound:Play()
    end
    
    if number.Text == "..." then
        number.Text = "3"
    else
        number.Text = number.Text .. "3"

damn bru u could be less blunt

so you mean like lua local stars = {one,two,three,four,five} for i,star in stars do star.Activated:Connect(function() if beepSound.isPlaying then beepSound:Stop() end beepSound:Play() if number.Text=="..." then number.Text = tostring(i) else number.Text = number.Text..tostring(i) end end) end

also pretty sure you wouldn't even need to beepSound:Stop() cause when you play the sound it should stop what was playing before anyways

loving the code man

[neat oyster]

squanch lua local stars = {one,two,three,four,five} for i,star in stars do star.Activated:Connect(function() beepSound:Play() number.Text = number.Text=="..." and tostring(i) or number.Text..tostring(i) end) end

they're used for the workspace:GetPartBoundsInRadius() so it knows what kind of parts to grab within that radius. It's just a spatial query to get nearby parts table so you know which parts to add the physics objects to.

HELLO I WOULD LIKE TO FUCKING ASK
you made a 32 bit integer buffer in roblox
How critical it is to performance and memory if that value is constantly overflowed

[compact spoke]

idk

I do know but I dont feel like sayinig

Lol.

[cyan lantern]

I dont think you answers will be of any value anyway

[peak jolt]

your question doesn't make any sense either

[compact spoke]

if you want just 32 bit buffer.create(4) no

How would you create a random small town generation algo?
My idea would be to create predefined road segments with "plots" for buildings, connect them randomly per criteria and then fill the random plots with buildings.

event:FireServer() from the client, event:FireClient() from the server
any script subscribed to the event through event.OnClientEvent or event.OnServerEvent will receive that firing and run the code in their function
its a way to communicate between the client and the server

This is a snapshot of the result of a procedurally generated dungeon.

[native sail]

tried it too

[signal salmon]

The ss is of 500 rooms (some are capped)

Walls can have custom color and material, same for ceiling and floors. red marks are for door prefab

Stuff like enemies, chests or loots can be spawned easily because of the voxels / cells rooms and corridors are made of

[signal salmon]

Take a guess on how long it took to generate 500 rooms?

[small hound]

2 seconds

[signal salmon]

is that the standard?

[small hound]

i don't know

[exotic dirge]

can it generate custom shapes too?
is it infinite?
can the rooms be orientated?
can the rooms generate in height?

[native sail]

Maybe you can help once home?

[signal salmon]

only rectangles. This is how you configure the generation

return {
    GRID_SIZE = 10, -- range -> 10 - 20 for not-abnormal results
    GROUND_Y = workspace:WaitForChild("Baseplate").Size.Y / 2 + 1,
    BASE_ROOM_SCALE = 5, -- base room scale: Performance impact: High. minimum 2    
    ROOM_ASPECT_RATIO_RANGE = { min = .2, max = 2 }, -- 0.5 means tall/narrow, 2 means wide/short
    SPACING_FACTOR = .5,-- minimum 0.2 (can cause merged rooms)
}```

u can control the variation in room horizontal dimensions using the aspect ratio range

[signal salmon]

the dungeon is generated only once

[exotic dirge]

ok I am working on something like this but it can generate a room based on vertexpoints and is infinite

[signal salmon]

ik but that's another system

[exotic dirge]

ye urs is good too

[signal salmon]

how long does a typical dungeon generator like mine would take generate, say 500 rooms?

[exotic dirge]

do you plan on adding biomes

[exotic dirge]

id say 1 to 2 sec

[signal salmon]

nope, i could but its for my portfolio only

[signal salmon]

o

[exotic dirge]

if you use paralel lua and client sided

maybe then

[signal salmon]

These are the results when I generated 5k rooms. (it doesn't crash)

  Total parts:  46745
  Assembling parts took 4.09 seconds```

[exotic dirge]

ye thats pretty good

[signal salmon]

wanna see how 5k room looks like

[exotic dirge]

ok

[signal salmon]

lemme snap a ss

pretty crazy right

the baseplate is 3x the normal size

[exotic dirge]

ye how long did it take

[signal salmon]

i just showed u

[signal salmon]

this long

[exotic dirge]

so 5k rooms also takes 2.4 seconds

[signal salmon]

no

5k rooms take 2.4 s

lemme calculate for 500 rooms

so that u believe me

[exotic dirge]

ok mb

[signal salmon]

500 rooms:

  Total parts:  4569
  Assembling parts took 0.35 seconds```

[exotic dirge]

what optimisation techniques do you use for this

[rugged mist]

I would hardly call those rooms

[exotic dirge]

and why not

[rugged mist]

looks like flat blocks with skinny blocks between then

[exotic dirge]

does this convince you

[signal salmon]

i mean

idk

i've never actually seen a similar system. most are using prefab models without corridors

[rugged mist]

what would be the point of corridors

besides the functionality of connecting the rooms

[signal salmon]

none

but u'd have to make squarish rooms

ig not. but still corridors are cool

[rugged mist]

gameplay will be weird with each room being connected by a skinny corridor might be a bit monotonous

[signal salmon]

besides I can control the length of corridors

so i can make sure they're not annoying

[small hound]

will every room be connected by a corridor or is it random?

[signal salmon]

every room

no

actually every room is guaranteed to be connted

that's how I wrote the system

its not random

but i there's an option I added to add random corridors

for loops

[exotic dirge]

how do you even upload images here

[small hound]

you have to be bronz 2 💔

[signal salmon]

yea

[exotic dirge]

and how do I get that

[small hound]

by chatting ig

[signal salmon]

yea

[small hound]

i hope or else i was wasting time

[exotic dirge]

ok then ill chat

[small hound]

are the rooms able to be decorated with models and stuff?

[signal salmon]

for that ill have to create a spawner. itll be minimal setup, prolly 100 lines of code

but yeah the system IS compatible with spawning props and decorations

[exotic dirge]

its just overlapchecking and random position right

[signal salmon]

the rooms are initially Grid cells

so i could randomly select different kinds of cells (like "Room" cells for spawning inside rooms)

[exotic dirge]

ye I don't like using a grid bc it severly limits positions

but ok

[signal salmon]

uhm. not quite

[small hound]

but it can also be easier to work with

[signal salmon]

I could add a random offset for spawning. grid makes life easy instead

its a easy fix

[exotic dirge]

but your chunks are still locked to a grid right

[signal salmon]

wym by chunks? rooms?

[exotic dirge]

rooms yes mb

[signal salmon]

yes they are

they're all rectangular

[exotic dirge]

ok one more question

can ur rooms have more than 1 exit

[signal salmon]

yea. u can configure that in settings.

but its random

random loopways

[small hound]

do you have any controll on how props are placed not just random?

[exotic dirge]

you can just choose the outer cells right

[signal salmon]

i mean, kind of. I can check the cell type before spawning a prop. Like is it corridor, a door, or a room floor

prop positioning is easy also, like on wall or ceiling or floor

oh and I can have even more control if I check the neighbors' types. like I'd only place a wallLight on a wall

[exotic dirge]

how long have u been scripting for btw

[signal salmon]

i forgot. lemme check my first published project

first project where i started learning coding

[exotic dirge]

how did you learn coding this fast

[finite bay]

this is one of the first scripts ive made can anyone tell me if it will work? local baseplate = workspace:FindFirstChild("Baseplate")
if baseplate then
baseplate.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow")
end

[rocky basin]

it will work

congrats

[small hound]

use wait for child if the baseplate is guranteed to be there

[exotic dirge]

maybe use :WaitForChild() on client

[rocky basin]

yeah

[exotic dirge]

only if its local

[small hound]

yes

[finite bay]

Thank you

[rocky basin]

why not server sided?

[signal salmon]

oh please. im dont qualify as a scripter yet.

[exotic dirge]

server has everything loaded already

[rocky basin]

not really, when servers lag it has a delay

[signal salmon]

for some background, i was studying python for 1 year before moved here

[exotic dirge]

then how did you write such an advanced generation system

[signal salmon]

i meant, im dont have anything to proof im a scripter yet.

I*

[exotic dirge]

not at the start

[signal salmon]

that system is just a project i built for my portfolio

[exotic dirge]

ok nice

[signal salmon]

im trying to join some teams and do some real work

[rocky basin]

bro, I got some problems at begginer that scripts didn't got for example parts bec they didn't load at the time

[signal salmon]

I've only been rejected so far

but thats cool

[exotic dirge]

ye thats a client problem

[small hound]

dw your time to shine will come

[rocky basin]

no, it was SERVER sided

at serverscriptservice

[small hound]

what was the code

[exotic dirge]

that makes no sense

[rocky basin]

say that to roblox

I don't do anything abt it

[small hound]

what was the code

[signal salmon]

it does work but WaitForChild is for LocalScripts.

[exotic dirge]

exactly

[signal salmon]

Server scripts are executed after everything is loaded

[exotic dirge]

exactly

[rocky basin]

then idk, maybe I was a noobie back then

[signal salmon]

yeee boi

[signal salmon]

js an example

[small hound]

queen

[signal salmon]

what should I add next to my portfolio? after this dungeon gen system

[exotic dirge]

like combat or enemy AI

[signal salmon]

what kind of enemy AI?

like a general system for operating diff kinds of enemies?

[exotic dirge]

just very simple dummy that follows a player and attacks them if in range

[exotic dirge]

ye with like OOP

[signal salmon]

oh. thats actually quite straight-forward

[exotic dirge]

but dont forget using PathfindingService

[signal salmon]

its slow

[exotic dirge]

what is slow

[signal salmon]

PathFindingService

[exotic dirge]

is there a better option then

you could always use multithreading ig

[signal salmon]

yes but that uses pathfinding too

wait why multithreading

its for managing multiple enemies, init?

isnt it?*

[exotic dirge]

yes so its more optimised

you would have a standard script and clone it and put it under an actor and send data to it using bindables

i believe

you can find something similar on YT

[signal salmon]

We usually control all enemies from a single script

for performance

[balmy zenith]

multi threading is not that trivial

[balmy zenith]

not if you queue it nicely

you can "predict"

[signal salmon]

yes ik, if u cant optimize pathfinding using the builtin service, then its skill issue

[balmy zenith]

depends tho

pathfinding itself isnt laggy, its just slow to compute the path

[signal salmon]

hey can u check out my dungeon gen system? its voxel based

[balmy zenith]

perhaps

[finite bay]

can anyone explain why this does not work game.Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = 1
game.Workspace.Baseplate.Material = Enum.Material.Brick

[exotic dirge]

first of all

use:
local baseplate = workspace.BasePlate
baseplate.Transparency = 1

[signal salmon]

500 rooms I generated for this screenshot

[exotic dirge]

second, send ur output

[balmy zenith]

is it via trial and error?

or do you somehow ensure spawn rooms without collisions

[signal salmon]

yes i used an algorithm for that

trial and error would be dumb

[exotic dirge]

you can use AABB overlap checking

[signal salmon]

take forever if not configured in detail

[balmy zenith]

is it not?

trial and error as in

[signal salmon]

no it isnt

[balmy zenith]

generate room, check if colliding, generate another if so

[exotic dirge]

thats the right way in my opinion

[balmy zenith]

and not somehow magically generate a room with no collisions

[signal salmon]

the algorithm generates room without the need for checking collisions

[balmy zenith]

how

[signal salmon]

they're already separated

its a rather simple process

do u want me to explain in simple terms ?

the algo is called "BSP"

[eternal kindle]

you do

[exotic dirge]

who are u

[signal salmon]

did jesus drop u to tell me then xd

[eternal kindle]

me? nobody

[exotic dirge]

ok cool

[eternal kindle]

lol

[eternal kindle]

jk i do scripting

[signal salmon]

did u take that pfp in ur basement.

[balmy zenith]

sure, how does it work

[eternal kindle]

no, its jesse pinkman from breaking bad

[exotic dirge]

bro BSP sounds difficult asf

if you look it up on wikipedia youll see

[signal salmon]

basically, we start with a big rectangle called leaf. then choose a random axis (vertial, horizontal) and continue cutting until we have n number of leaves. then spawn rooms with random offset inside each leaf

[balmy zenith]

oh

[exotic dirge]

thats actually kinda genious

[balmy zenith]

thats simpler than i thought

i did thst once without realising

oopsie

[hexed pollen]

For you

[exotic dirge]

what is this, an insult

[balmy zenith]

when do you stop cutting/ splitting

[signal salmon]

yk how much I reduced the load by using this algo and avoiding the separation logic.

[hexed pollen]

No no

[balmy zenith]

is it arbitrary

[balmy zenith]

mhm

[signal salmon]

when I have n number of rooms. the generate function takes input "n" for how many rooms I want to gen

[exotic dirge]

makes sense

[balmy zenith]

how do you determine to split

do you split all leafs at once

or is it 1 leaf at a time

[signal salmon]

I generated 200 rooms in 10-15 seconds back then when I had random spawning and separation (trial and error like u said)

[balmy zenith]

actually wait

do you just split leafs till it reaches N

[signal salmon]

its recursive

[signal salmon]

yea till it reaches N partitions

[balmy zenith]

ok but is it at the same time tho say
A
B
you would split these at the same time
like
split A
split B
repeat

rather than
split A x100
split B x100
?

[signal salmon]

yes

[balmy zenith]

oh ok

[signal salmon]

split A -> A, B, then split A and B. (each time choosing a random axis, vertical or horizontal)

i mean X or Z not vertical or horizontal

[balmy zenith]

how do you generate paths then? is it just checking adjacent partitions?

[exotic dirge]

i think splitting is great for optimisation but not for customisation

[signal salmon]

for that, I had to use a separate system

I used MST for generating paths. but about algos, they're nothing complex until u visualize they're working and how they're suitable for ur needs

[balmy zenith]

how does that work

[exotic dirge]

finds a minimum spanning tree for a weighted, connected, undirected graph, which is a subset of the graph that connects all vertices with the minimum possible total edge weight

[balmy zenith]

is a node just a voxel

[signal salmon]

and now I can generate 5k rooms, with each room containing about 50-200 voxels (due to random aspect ratio), in 2 seconds. 4 seconds for spawning parts

[signal salmon]

yes

[balmy zenith]

mmm

[exotic dirge]

dont you think doing it like doors would be better

[signal salmon]

I can explain everything apart from MST. It has some complex graphical maths I dont get

[signal salmon]

thats another dungeon gen system. all systems dont need to be really similar, i just tried smth diff

but yea i could build the doors one too, it'd be easier

[exotic dirge]

ok thats cool

[covert locust]

yo how do i handle sfx and vfx replication

do i just use a 2 remotes

[exotic dirge]

on the client

[covert locust]

one for vfx and one for sfx

i mean for all clients

so u dont have classes thats kind of a bummer

[glad thorn]

Shouldn't it be this?

local treeService = {}
treeService.__index = treeService

function treeService.new(CFrame:CFrame)
    --
    local self = setmetatable({}, treeService)
    --
    self.CFrame = CFrame

end

function treeService:draw()
    --code
    --print(self.CFrame)
end

return treeService

[shut quail]

so u have redefine all ur functions and variables etc in every single script

[exotic dirge]

isnt that what I exactly wrote

[exotic dirge]

no you can use modules that can be required by any script

[glad thorn]

ModuleScript

[exotic dirge]

mb I forgot the .__index

[shut quail]

and I can use everything in that as if its defined in the same script

[formal acorn]

do yall think that door system with keys and animations is portfolio-worthy? beacuse i dont really know what to script for a nice portfolio

[shut quail]

thats nice, basicly same concept

[exotic dirge]

i think so yes

[hexed pollen]

Make skills

[shut quail]

is a modulescript static or can it actually do stuff?

like,

imagine if I have a counter for everything something happends can I store that data in a modulescript or nah

[exotic dirge]

ye absolutely

[shut quail]

nicee

[formal acorn]

like what skill

[shut quail]

just ask AI ig

[hexed pollen]

What all you already have?

[exotic dirge]

can someone help me with CFrames, it works but I think it can be more simple:

local partA = script.Parent
local partB = partA:Clone()
partB:ClearAllChildren()

local offset = CFrame.new(0,partA.Size.Y/2, 0)
local angle = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(45),math.rad(45),math.rad(45))
local targetCFrame = partA.CFrame * angle * offset

partB.CFrame = targetCFrame
partB.Position +=  offset.Position
partB.Parent = workspace

[formal acorn]

nothing really, im building my portfolio

[hexed pollen]

What you like scripting? Like physics, combat, skills?

Are you a front or back end scripter?

Or you do a little of everything

[formal acorn]

i mostly like to script ui

but yeah i do little of everything

[hexed pollen]

Make some ui shops and things like that make sure that your tweens looks good and everything look smooth and clean

[formal acorn]

but i like SCRIPTING the ui not making it

[hexed pollen]

Find ui to script

[formal acorn]

it can be something else than ui tho..

[hexed pollen]

Yeah systems

You want to know what systems are good to make to put on your portfolio?

[formal acorn]

yup

[hexed pollen]

Best thing to do is go in scripter hiring and see what people want done the most

Alot of systems i see people want done are
Combat systems
Rng systems
Gun systems
Skills
And things like that

[formal acorn]

alr

[torn cloak]

how would i go about doing that because ive never dealt with collision groupp

[exotic dirge]

there should be a tab for that

local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")
local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")

local cubes = "Cubes"
local doors = "Doors"

-- Register two collision groups
PhysicsService:RegisterCollisionGroup(cubes)
PhysicsService:RegisterCollisionGroup(doors)

-- Set cubes to be non-collidable with doors
PhysicsService:CollisionGroupSetCollidable(cubes, doors, false)

-- Assign an object to each group
Workspace.Cube1.CollisionGroup = cubes
Workspace.Door1.CollisionGroup = doors

(from the docs)

old video but theres a red line meaning syntax error

[obsidian geyser]

Sure wait

A variable is a name thats stores information (its from my notes I have tooken)

[iron kraken]

yes

if it's a numbervalue make sure to add .Value to get the actual value of it

[final yew]

I've been searching for sources regarding character customization. For my game I want players to be able to type in a "/hat [assetID]" command and apply the accessory, and to remove accessories typing "/clearhats" or something similar.

TLDR need sources regarding adding assets to characters using roblox chat with a clear command

Ive been really confused

[neat oyster]

you can use the .Chatted event to check like lua chattedConnections[plr.UserId] = plr.Chatted:Connect(function (msg) onCommandChatted(plr, msg) end)
make sure to disconnect when the player leaves.
In the onCommandChatted you can check to see if they own a certain gamepass and trigger the function for adding the hat

[neat oyster]

you can also use ApplyDescription on their humanoid https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Humanoid#ApplyDescription

might not work with R6 characters

can't remember if it does

[gentle stag]

Our brains are @frigid umbra

[gentle stag]

Bro has skin color perms

[neat oyster]

yea

[cobalt patio]

can someone help me

[balmy zenith]

nuh uh

datastore should be good enough

[neat oyster]

pretty sure they get erased too when the data is too old, if you don't mind it erasing then memorystore could be fine

[hexed cedar]

Yall I have an inventory system and when the player equips the Glock a view model shows up, and I’m using a “Connection = render step”, and when the Glock is unequipped the connection is disconnected. Is there a better way to do this, something more optimized or smn? Is this a good/bad way of doing this? Any advice is appreciated.

[neat oyster]

yea as long as you're disconnecting after

also renderstepped is deprecated

now it's prerender

[summer aurora]

yo what are you cooking LOL

are you learning?

[neat oyster]

stepped is deprecated too

[summer aurora]

my fav practice tho lwk

[neat oyster]

yea making admin commands is fun

[summer aurora]

it's a fine practice to unequip to disable connections

i'm not sure what you mean

renderstepped never really causes unoptimization issues unless you do something excessive like creating new instances constantly

[neat oyster]

or loop over everything in workspace

[summer aurora]

oh yeah and looping over anything that has a lot of instances

(i learned this the hard way)

[summer aurora]

kinda why i dislike using magnitude for explosions

actually just in general why i dislike magnitude when using i,v in pairs

[neat oyster]

if you're doing things like making grass sway you can use https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/WorldRoot#GetPartBoundsInRadius in a while loop that has a few second wait to grab nearby grass sections then only loop through those in your prerender

[worldly spear]

U can use bindtorenderstep

[neat oyster]

I also did something similar in my drawing game that scales parts near you based on the music playing

[summer aurora]

yeah i love using this practice now after learning it lol

[neat oyster]

another neat trick is precomputing your radius check as a squared value so when you do the distance check you're only doing lua if a*a+b*b<sqDist then

[hexed cedar]

Ok I was making sure there wasn’t a better way

[summer aurora]

just don't be overly worried on cleaning up code, sometimes when it works, it works
even big games like arsenal follow these standards too

working on a big roblox game is like being a senior in high school,

either as long as it works and you do the bare minimum in the code for results. you are happy
or
you are hyperfocused on everything doing the maximum for success

[neat oyster]

yea you're not really paying for the server compute yourself so

[hexed cedar]

I’m kinda in the middle

[summer aurora]

(arsenal literally uses stringvalues for kill icons LOL)

just a separate folder named KillIcons then

AK47
AUG
Knife

[azure granite]

guys how do i make randomised calculus math questions

i already done basic derivatives and integrals but i want to make harder ones

[balmy zenith]

custom physics would be best

[worldly spear]

Maybe using fastcast module
U can make it bounce off walls and also detect if it hit the hole hitbox or another ball

I dont trust robloc physics

[azure granite]

function UiService.AnimateButton(button: GuiButton, visualFrame: Frame, callback: (() -> ())?): ()
    local OgSize = visualFrame.Size
    local OgPosition = visualFrame.Position
    local ScaleUpSize = UDim2.fromScale(OgSize.X.Scale * ScaleUpMulti ,OgSize.Y.Scale * ScaleUpMulti)
    local ScaleDownSize = UDim2.fromScale(OgSize.X.Scale*ScaleDownMulti,OgSize.Y.Scale * ScaleDownMulti)
    button.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
        SoundService.SFX.Hover:Play()
        spr.target(visualFrame, 0.5, 4, {
            Size = ScaleUpSize
        })
    end)
    button.MouseLeave:Connect(function()

        spr.target(visualFrame, 0.5, 4, {
            Size = OgSize
        })
    end)
    button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function(input)
        spr.target(visualFrame, 0.5, 4, {
            Size = ScaleDownSize
        })
        SoundService.SFX.Hold:Play()
        
    end)
    button.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function(input:InputObject)
        spr.target(visualFrame, 0.3, 4, {
            Size = OgSize
        })
    end)
    
    button.Activated:Connect(function()
        SoundService.SFX.Click:Play()
        if callback then
            callback()
        end
    end)
end

Would this lag the game because im connecting 5 things to a single button

[worldly spear]

no

Should not

[azure granite]

even if i have likle 100 buttons connected with these

[worldly spear]

That will hurt memory

Not performance

[azure granite]

but even then its nothing right

[worldly spear]

Yeha

Yeah

[iron vigil]

I’m genuinely curious are there any decent coding ai yet? I like to test them out sometimes but each time I do they’re always hella outdated. For ex chatgpt LOVES to use deprecated stuff and I’m just curious if there are any ai that are genuinely good at coding Roblox yet

[balmy zenith]

this looks cooked

[tranquil lintel]

Sonnet 4.5 best agent so far

[mellow crag]

any scripter looking for collab with vfx maker?
dm

[clever sapphire]

witttttt

[summer aurora]

Claude Sonnet 4.5 genuinely very useful to finish tedious things

The most AI I use is Roblox's auto fill lmao

[shut ridge]

Yeah but Claude is using sometimes also depracted stuffs

Such like wait((

()

[summer aurora]

Its bound to happen, wait is a main thing about lua

tbh task. is like the double space pawn move in chess

[sonic sable]

does anyone have any experience with troll towers or know how they work?

[tardy brook]

During the dash, my animation plays, but after the dash ends there's a short moment with no animation before the walking animation starts. How can I remove this pause?

[rocky basin]

i think its bec anim priority is so high that it doesn't let the walk one play properly until it finishes

[inland tartan]

hey guys what is up!

Feral is looking for competent scripters we have multiple 1k+ CCU games!

send a message request to join us!

[teal pewter]

our top scripter makes 2.5k/week!

[peak jolt]

thats usd right

[lean ocean]

check dms

[carmine egret]

js tell chatgpt to refer to the roblox documentation

[carmine egret]

what type of scripting will you need?

[tardy pasture]

binary

[tardy brook]

Priority is action

[hallow crater]

Is this good enough for ui scripting?

[ionic horizon]

yes

[hallow crater]

vas?>

[rocky basin]

yeah, action overrides movement, try that the anim doesn't have "still" frames at the arms or legs, so it doesn't block the real movement anim

[rocky basin]

depending, how dif it is?

[hallow crater]

inventory system

dragging n stuff

[rocky basin]

i mean, it should be a little more but

still he pays taxes so

[hallow crater]

dang

What kinda scripting work pays well

[ionic horizon]

full systems

[rocky basin]

yeah

[hallow crater]

ahh

can u guys code full systems?

[rocky basin]

cuz an inventory systems cost like 1k-5k robux

[hallow crater]

bro how do u guys learn coding i tried learning it my brain cannot brain how much time it takes

[rocky basin]

I have 2yr experience, I just practiced

by making small games

[hallow crater]

How much do you earn now

[rocky basin]

small (500-1k) cuz I don't want to do large commissions

[hallow crater]

dang

[ionic horizon]

just look into small systems in youtube and look into simple tutorials

overtime you'll understand it better

[hallow crater]

wbt u how much u make

[hallow crater]

thats like 5$ no?

[rocky basin]

ye

[hallow crater]

damn

[ionic horizon]

nothing nobody accepting me 😢

[hallow crater]

DAMN

i thought scripters were eating good

[rocky basin]

now that you accepted the comm, do it, it will serve as a payed practice 🤑

[tardy brook]

You mean I should make animation without legs or what?

[hallow crater]

im a builder

https://tenor.com/view/guy-squirting-water-on-chest-construction-worker-muscular-tattoos-male-weightlifter-gif-13338361937561538967

[ionic horizon]

usually more known and more experienced scripter takes #scripter-hiring , i just dm all of the ones i can do and hope one of them accepts me

[rocky basin]

or js make the legs + arms stop a little earlier than the anim

[hallow crater]

do they accept you?

[ionic horizon]

nope, some just air me and some respectuflly decline

[rocky basin]

I mean, if you have a very good portafilio building takes more earnings so

[hallow crater]

i think im also 2 years in the industry we are the same @rocky basin

[tardy brook]

Before like 3 frames I should stop arms and legs?

[hallow crater]

in building*

[rocky basin]

yeah, bec action overrides movement, so bec the arms are full anim, it will start the movement at the end

[hallow crater]

i js use my past commissions for portfolio lamoo

[rocky basin]

thats what you need to do 💀

[tardy brook]

Okay, thanks

[ionic horizon]

thats good but u can organize it by making a site / using a templatew

[hallow crater]

ion like making builds for portfolio cause its working without getting paid

[hallow crater]

ion use sites n stuff i js post on a dumpserver and on X

[rocky basin]

practically everyone uses past commisions for portfolio

[ionic horizon]

thats good too

[hallow crater]

wanna see my builds?
