globalvariable is config file basically

[static coral]

its not hard coded, its a literal/constant then

[tardy pasture]

“Hard-coded” means a value is fixed directly in the code, so the program can’t change it unless you rewrite the code.

[static coral]

yes

and change it everywhere manually where u used it

so instead u should just use a variable, so u only have to change the variable

[tardy pasture]

so if u put that number in a module and then use that number evrywhere without changing it means ITS HARD CODED

[tardy pasture]

then whats the point off putting it in a module script ?

[static coral]

so you can access it from anywhere

the game may rely on global constants

[tardy pasture]

but u said ur gonna change it evrywhere

[static coral]

if it is hard coded

[tardy pasture]

so what lets say u put local mynumber = 1

[static coral]

aka magic numbers, using literals everywhere instead of just using a variable

[tardy pasture]

then u go to ur script u require the module then u put task.delay(mynumber * 5) ???

[static coral]

???

[tardy pasture]

thats legit what i am understanding off ur weird ahhh coding methods

[static coral]

local CONSTANT = 5

task.delay(constant)

or with the other guy’s example

local MIN = 3
local MAX = 5

task.delay(math.random(MIN, MAX))

take for example pi

3.141

lets say u want 10 digits of pi

[tardy pasture]

yah thats still hardcoded

[static coral]

u would then use a constant instead of typing that shi out everywhere

[ember kernel]

how long did it take you to learn it

[vivid crow]

local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

Mouse.Icon = 'rbxassetid://11443215934'

guys why does this code not work

[rain marten]

what do you guys think about coding using ai? not vibe coding its like making your code structure and describing it to ai?

[rotund pawn]

From my testing, its shit

Gave a GPT my code to find unefficient code and suggest fixes, got back code with 3 critical functiosn removed

[umbral kiln]

Is it on a localscript?

[vivid crow]

yes

[umbral kiln]

Where is the localscript located?

[vivid crow]

starter characters scripts

[umbral kiln]

And ur sure it doesnt do anything?

Add like a print after it

Print(Mouse.Icon)

[exotic dirge]

i think mouse.Icon is broken I tried it before and it did not work

[umbral kiln]

Works for me

Pretty sure

[frank grotto]

You will always be learning

But the basics Probably a few weeks

[stray shell]

Basics would most likely take a week if you’re the type to enjoy creating.

[stray shell]

It works, maybe the assestid is nil

[sick solstice]

whats a reasonable price to pay a scripter for a fully modular item shop system?

[distant hamlet]

10k

[kindred horizon]

There’s YouTube videos that can teach you this btw

[sick solstice]

dont have the time would rather pay

[sick solstice]

actually can you send me one

[kindred horizon]

Busy, but just search it up on YouTube, I’ve seen like 2-3 vids like that

[light niche]

even if the range were a constant, you do have to type it

[vivid crow]

idk man, i had to use an extremely annoying way to add a custom crosshair which doesnt even look good

[stiff crown]

anyone need investor?

[foggy perch]

When i sit on a VehicleSeat it turns the whole vehicle to my looking direction. How can i fix it

[low grove]

so can anyoen help:

guys im struggling wwiht can nayone post the script to bsdically make a script inside of ghost model that has a humanoid and humonoid rootpart such that ghost will be able to chase the nearest player both when the player is FLYING and WALKING

[green reef]

Could be because Roblox updated it so if someone isn't ID Verified/face verified then they cant see icons or something like that i forgot what it was

[vivid crow]

I don't get it

[green reef]

Forget what I said

Roblox's age verification system is confusing and stupid

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Mouse#Icon
Make sure your image/icon was posted on the same account you're trying to use it on otherwise you have to turn on Publish to marketplace or whatever its called in the configuration settings for it.

And if that still doesn't work then your image is probably moderated or something I have no clue what to tell you if thats the case lol

[sudden solstice]

good as long as you know what your doing to prompt it right

[jovial moth]

whats the best resource? any good YT vids?

[calm swan]

approved?

[odd lantern]

Top tier coding

[weak hemlock]

Software Engineer in the making love it

[rocky basin]

I would say its better for example to have tool = script.Parent then you can make if tool... But yeah approved!

[calm swan]

i mean i only learned this yesterday im fully on the grind now on this

[rocky basin]

oh

then its pretty good!

[stoic stone]

use userinputservice

[split sapphire]

hello can someone help me on something in my python code, it uses pygame and pytmx

[vocal forge]

hi guys anyone want to join me in roblox and play my game together

[iron kraken]

believe it

[rotund pawn]

Why I cant delete player sounds?

rhose in RootPart

[vivid crow]

wdym

[stoic stone]

mouse is deprecated

[green reef]

It's not deprecated

[iron kraken]

it is i think

uis is the new way

[green reef]

It's a new way, but it's not deprecated either

I still like using Mouse, just not for its Icon changing ability, more for its Mouse.Move event which performs better in UIS since you don't have to manually check if it is the mouse thats moving. (At least in my testing)

But it is recommended to use UIS & ContextActionService over Mouse

[weary ravine]

Yo guys I genuinely wonder if it’s still worth it to learn coding due to ai getting better rapidly and people already making projects with ai scripts

[twilit hatch]

I vibecode but it’s kinda lazy tbh if u wanna be the best of the best then Learn it urself

[green reef]

ai sucks ass at debugging code and most code it outputs especially for roblox games is buggy

so yeah id say its worth learning

[plain basin]

any1 got any tips for making a custom backpack system

[shut quail]

yo guys do you have any tips for designing and coding a system? I get so lost in the details and all the different scripts. in C# its a bit easier

for example a combat system

[exotic dirge]

C# ?

what game engine are you using

[calm swan]

😤

[sacred spindle]

whoops

[static coral]

not possible since .Touched only gonna fire in workspace

:FindFirstChild might return nil tho

[exotic dirge]

i got confused with smth else mb

[tawdry trout]

Yall what’s the best way to get skillful at coding to like I can make whatever I want, like I want to get to the point where I can code with bugs but figure them out.

I know the basics Alr

So ion wanna hear like “watch brawldev”

[river plinth]

I would try to recreate some very specfic features from games

for example one of my friends was making a lost rooms remake, and this is just an example but I made some basic QoL features like how that line connects from your crosshair to an item

idk how to explain it but if u play or look at footage of the game you'll see the feature im talking about

[hollow bear]

crusherfire, sleitnick
they do advanced tutorials that go into the deepest parts of coding on roblox
e.g. buffers, memory optimisations, metatables, networking, OOP, types etc

[river plinth]

and eventually get more broad (basically more advanced mechanics)

[tawdry trout]

Alr I’ll try that

[toxic vine]

whats the best way to learn

[hollow bear]

practice practice practice

if you dont enjoy coding and creating then id give up

im being so serious

[toxic vine]

ye but where do i start

[toxic vine]

na im not gonna give up

[river plinth]

learn the syntax

[hollow bear]

youtube tutorials mainly

[river plinth]

and basic concepts

[toxic vine]

so just search up syntax and basic tutorials on youtube?

[toxic vine]

alr thanks

[river plinth]

watch tutorials that teach the syntax

[hollow bear]

i say look for beginner roblox scripting tutorials

and learn the syntax as you go

[toxic vine]

alright

thanks you guys

[soft hornet]

Can I get an example of how task functions would be used in a game?

[hollow bear]

also check out Stewiepfing hes cool he teachers different concepts to do with effects and stuff for games aswell as math concepts that you wouldnt think of

[hollow bear]

first of all, you should always be using task.wait() rather than wait() as its more accurate

anyways

task.spawn()
--lets say you want multiple while loops in the same scope, but you can't, so how do you get past that? task.spawn()
task.spawn(function() 
    while task.wait() do
        print("Test")
    end
end)

task.spawn(function() 
    while task.wait() do
       print("Test 2")
    end
end)

-- Output: Test
--         Test 2
-- Etc..

@soft hornet

[clever scroll]

https://streamable.com/23q8ys dodgeball physics

[hollow bear]

task.delay()
-- this is an easier and more readable way of delaying things 
task.delay(3, function()
    print("Hi")
end)
-- waits 3 seconds and prints hi

use cases may be in animations and other stuff

[river plinth]

quick question is rojo worth using?

have yall worked with it and if yes is it good to use comapred to just roblox studio?

[hollow bear]

its quite complicated at first BUT i definitely see the appeal in it

personally i prefer roblox studio as im just used to it and its layed out better for me

[river plinth]

same

[hollow bear]

plus roblox has a new beta feature that syncs roblox folders to directories

so you can work in your IDEs when you want

lets say you wanna code in vsc for whatever reason for a sec, click sync, open up the directory and you can code there

[river plinth]

I would mainly use it for the git features but also ides

[hollow bear]

yeah and for git for version control rojo is definitely helpful

however roblox has their own version control kinda so i dont really care for that

[river plinth]

oh nice. did they make a post on that in the dev forum

[river plinth]

they do? 😭 i prob misse dit

[hollow bear]

yup they always post about beta features

[river plinth]

alr

[hollow bear]

if you just scroll through on roblox they have loads you didnt know about

[hollow bear]

well kinda

like you can revert to older place versions and stuff

not ideal for checking which version has what but its something

atleast you cant lose everything

[river plinth]

ty ill look through it. might find some other useful stuff

[river plinth]

yea that is one risk it gets rid of

[hollow bear]

i recommend you look through on roblox studio -> file -> beta features first and then search the ones you want more info on

[river plinth]

alr ty!

[hollow bear]

np

[shut quail]

i dont make games with unity im trying to make them in roblox but I can code in C# primarily console apps, MAUI and im learning blazor now too

might learn unity in the future though cause I know how to OOP

[exotic dirge]

roblox uses luau

oh i get it know mb

you should OOP prob yes

[shut quail]

well how in luau everything is in a different script and roblox studio's text editor doesnt show references from classes like visual studio

like, how do you keep track of your objects and their properties?

I get so lost

[clear thunder]

anyone got some good videos to learn code?

like people to recommend

[exotic dirge]

typechecking is an important factor and orginisation in general is too

knowing what should be on the client/ server

[hollow bear]

if youre talking about objects that are roblox made as in parts and built in roblox functions etc then the properties and functions should come up by themselves, for your own functions and modules and stuff you should add types as its a good practice and it will help the roblox type checker understand what properties things have

Its really simple

[sage patrol]

most of it is just staying organized

You'd want name everything in a consistent, descriptive manner

Also document your properties, that'll help you maintain structure

Organizing everything properly with folders, another great way to keep track

[hollow bear]

Best practice is to utilise lots of module scripts too

[sage patrol]

Yes

That as well

[hollow bear]

for flexibility to add more features and organise things too

[stray shell]

Don’t overuse modules, it is messy. You can handle several things in a single one.

[hollow bear]

yeah obviously but some people dont know how powerful modules can be and almost never use them

[sage patrol]

Modules are actually pretty useful if used correctly

For me its the easy maintenance

[stray shell]

i would say metatables are pretty good for saving data within the environment of a script.

[hollow bear]

metatables in a module

make your own classes

[stray shell]

Yeah

[hollow bear]

its very helpful

[stray shell]

modules are mere libaries

[sage patrol]

To be honest i only see benefit of metatables when i want custom behavior

[hollow bear]

especially if youre used to OOP then metatables are very helpful

[sage patrol]

like OOP, default values or read only tables

[hollow bear]

thats fair

[stray shell]

metatables are my favorite, they’re extremely useful and pragmatic to structure blocks of code.

[stray shell]

mm

[hollow bear]

also tbh metatables are quite useful for handling client server communication in some ways without overloading the game with remote events and functions

for exampling updating values on ui

you wouldnt think of it but its useful

[karmic tangle]

do you have any examples of this or docs, i’d be interested in seeing this as im relatively new to luau

[hollow bear]

you should watch some videos on metatables tbh but ill link you the docs

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

[static coral]

????

[hollow bear]

@static coral

[static coral]

you still need to use remotes for replication

[hollow bear]

you do not

[static coral]

??????

random table is not gonna replicate

its not an instance

[hollow bear]

i know but thats not the point 💔

you can use the newindex method to get changes in stats and stuff

[static coral]

twk functions and signals

[hollow bear]

what does twk mean

[static coral]

those who know

[hollow bear]

aint no way

thats poor dngr

tut tut tut

[peak jolt]

what does dngr mean

[hollow bear]

danger im guessing

50$ on it

[sharp drift]

Hi

Anyone here can actually script ?? 💔

[static coral]

nope

[peak jolt]

yea my buddy chatgpt

[sage patrol]

those who know...

[peak jolt]

oh shit i just realized dngr is his name im blind

[sage patrol]

Ngl i dont understand why people hate it when you use even just a fraction of AI to help you with some line of code

If you completely rely on it its terrible but

If you're genuinly new to scripting and want to learn it's completely fine to use it as aid

[peak jolt]

many possible reasons

new thing scary or they learnt it without ai and assume thats the only way

or they refuse to use it themselves and feel the need to belittle others for that reason

[hollow bear]

if youre new i wouldnt recommend it becauses youd be tempted to make it do it all for you and then youd waste ages trying to fix bugs which you dont know how to fix

[sage patrol]

yes i completely agree

[hollow bear]

but its very handy for example to generate boilerplates for your modules and configs and stuff

[sage patrol]

laziness strikes with most people when they use AI

[hollow bear]

saves lots of time

[peak jolt]

not wasting time, thats how you learn in the first place

[hollow bear]

yeah 100%

[peak jolt]

but it can become frustrating if you get completely stuck

[sage patrol]

i'd say one thing AI is useful for is the fact that you won't have to wait hours for a forum response when you're stuck

[hollow bear]

which probably tends to happen alot since ai is still kinda stupid

[strange kiln]

ai will NOT teach you how to code

[hollow bear]

ooh yeah that too

[strange kiln]

ai will say "You're right!" and then give you some shjitty awful script

[sage patrol]

depends which model you're using

[oak fulcrum]

[hollow bear]

yeah thats also true

ai is too bias

[strange kiln]

all the models will do that

[sage patrol]

AI can provide working examples that you can study, modify and learn from

[hollow bear]

never says youre wrong

[strange kiln]

some models just do it slightly less

[peak jolt]

eh idk if its the custom prompt/personalization settings but chatgpt never glazes me

it does call out stupid behavior

[sage patrol]

yeah ngl the yesman problem never was an issue with me

[oak fulcrum]

ai gives me high level responses

like race statistics

[sage patrol]

people told me it contradicts itself or generates broken code often but if you're being specific with what you want it's very good

[oak fulcrum]

when i ask for code

[sage patrol]

if you say "Make me a gun" ofcourse it will create some terrible line of code

[strange kiln]

what's an example of it being "very good"

The other day I tried to make claude fix a very simple bug for me

[oak fulcrum]

people say my skidded code is good and definitely not ai and my non-skidded code is bad and definitely ai

[peak jolt]

nah current year chatgpt can do that

on god

[strange kiln]

so in other words you just suck

[oak fulcrum]

i suck when it comes to class creation in luau, yea

thx bro

[soft hornet]

Why you have so many things to do? You working like 20 commission??

Or it’s a joke…

and I’m slow

[hollow bear]

its for homework

[soft hornet]

I never seen a task.wait inside a while loop before. Does it wait the time then print or it’s like a true (Boolean) typa thing

[hollow bear]

nah its just so it does a task.wait() every iteration

while task.wait() do
-- bla bla
end
-- is the same as
while true do
-- bla bla
   task.wait()
end

[exotic dirge]

in the first one the script has to wait a bit and in the second in it waits after the loop is initialized

right

[hollow bear]

it does a task.wait() every time on the top one

its basically the same

[soft hornet]

Ahh ok

[hollow bear]

what type is

ah thanks

yeah

no problem (String)

[round ocean]

can anyone help me with this script i have its a cutscene script works fine when i rtest solo but when i team test it compeltly breask i didnt wanan send teh code here bc its very long if u can help please dm me

[west copper]

Is there anyone here willing to take a paid commission payment is negotiable,

[rapid verge]

what ever you do dont make games

once you finish the tutorial series learn how to make systems for your games like an inventory or UI styling system

once you built enough systems, you'll have a whole library of them that you can drag and drop into your games
and you can also showcase them on YT or on your portfolio

then you can make your game

so yes go finish the tutorials

[fallen sierra]

i recommend trying to make one off systems with modulescripts you can later use to make games

i started coding in late february

[west copper]

how come Coders here cant to this

[fallen sierra]

i watched a lot of yt tutorials from brawldev and hiatus
i also got some files of uncopylocked games and from friends to see how they coded some stuff

then i started making one off systems
ragdoll system, hitboxes, sliders, round systems

[exotic dirge]

?

[fallen sierra]

not just systems but random functions i thought of that could be useful in the future

and now after 9 months since i started coding im making my first game

[west copper]

Like every scripture I’ve hired can’t do that

[south bridge]

make the screen purple?

[fallen sierra]

and it uses many of the systems i made

[west copper]

No the highlights and the range with the thermal

[exotic dirge]

do what move the character?

[west copper]

No the range with the highlights where they fade in and out

[exotic dirge]

pretty easy tbh

[west copper]

To them it’s like the plague

[lean olive]

anyone know how to get the texture from blender to roblox studio for ugc

[fallen sierra]

just... port the model thats textured into roblox?

i dont understand the question

[exotic dirge]

why are you asking this in code discussion #modeling

[lean olive]

whoops

[rapid verge]

this video is one of the best i've found on ECS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rW7ALyHaas

this video introduced me to DoD and ECS and how they're used, i would definitely reccomend trying to recreate something like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahOfNgvQ93Q

ECS and DoD are similar but are different in terms of how you use them

How to make bird ai

[lapis ravine]

local serverStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local hair1 = serverStorage:WaitForChild("Hair1")
local hair2 = serverStorage:WaitForChild("Hair2")

local function addHairToHead(character, hairModel)
local existingHair = character.Head:FindFirstChild("Hair")
if existingHair then
existingHair:Destroy()
end

local newHair = hairModel:Clone()
newHair.Name = "Hair"
newHair.Parent = character.Head

local hairOffset = CFrame.new(0, 0.5, 0)
newHair.Handle.CFrame = character.Head.CFrame * hairOffset

end

local function addProximityPromptToObject(object, hairModel)

end

local hairObject1 = workspace:WaitForChild("HairObject1")
local hairObject2 = workspace:WaitForChild("HairObject2")

addProximityPromptToObject(hairObject1, hair1)
addProximityPromptToObject(hairObject2, hair2)

this code

[brazen anvil]

ok well

What is the issue

And also

Can you just post the snippet that has the issue

[lapis ravine]

Now I made something like a door. When I touch the first door, the first hair comes to me, but when I touch the second door, the hair from the first door doesn't disappear, and the hair from the second door spawns, but it doesn't stay on my head, it disappears.

[lapis ravine]

.

[brazen anvil]

What are you trying to do though

Are you turning the hair into a tool?

[lapis ravine]

When the character hits the door, let the hair in the server storage come to my head.

[brazen anvil]

oh I see

You said the first hair doesn’t disappear, are you destroying the old hair?

[lapis ravine]

yes

[brazen anvil]

Oh, well I see at the top of the script you are just getting the hair once

What’s happening is, it destroys that first hair, but then it looks again for that same hair, and tries to destroy it again

When it should be looking for the new hair

[lapis ravine]

hmm

how i can fix that

[lapis ravine]

.

[brazen anvil]

Whenever you try to destroy the old hair, reassign the hair variable to the new hair. You can just do that by searching for the new hair by name or class

[lapis ravine]

thx

[lapis ravine]

i fixed it thnk u

[brazen anvil]

oh great

[round ocean]

dude someone please help ive been trying to make these gamepasses work forever and nothing i do works please help

[foggy pine]

hey i can help

send the code

[round ocean]

thansk but thast the thing i dont have teh code yet lol my friend who does teh coding whos not that good tbh is off and idk how rlly so ive been trying to use ai but it SUCKSSS i have the ui all teh way up to when i purcahse teh gamepass but when i purrchase nothing happens

[foggy pine]

i can't help if i can't see the code

does the gamepass prompt?

and if so, does the function work when u buy it?

[round ocean]

that what u mean

no?'

[foggy pine]

ok i understand

anything in output

?

[round ocean]

lemme check

[foggy pine]

its midnight for me so sorry if i randomly go afk lol

[round ocean]

also as of rn i dont have any code or anything that makes it give me what their trying to buy

all good thanks for helping at all

[foggy pine]

can u see the scripts though?

[round ocean]

wdym what scripts

[foggy pine]

the scripts that make the game function?

thats where the coding goes

[round ocean]

u may have to eloborate a bit im relatively new to studio

sorry

[foggy pine]

ok do you have the explorer tab open?

that says stuff like workspace, replicatedstorage

[round ocean]

yes

[foggy pine]

do you see a search bar

[round ocean]

yup

[foggy pine]

ok

type C: Script

it should show every type of script in the game

[round ocean]

ok

[foggy pine]

send screenshot of what u see after typing that

[round ocean]

A LOT

[foggy pine]

ruh roh

send it!

[round ocean]

i mean u gon need a video

[dim atlas]

print("Hello World")

[foggy pine]

ok whatever just send it 😭

[round ocean]

my friend who helping me is a toolbox warrior so he just imports stuff and deltes it

[foggy pine]

lmaooo

[round ocean]

but not all of it

here goodluck

u may have to slow it down a bit i cant send lon g videos

when i said toolbox warrior i meant it

[foggy pine]

is there seriously NOTHING in serverscriptservice?

like is there anything in serverscriptservice

[round ocean]

ok my fault

im actually dumb

i was testing the game when i sen tit..

[formal crow]

guys how do I learn scripting im so bored of the basics. I know some of the basics but i cant sit thru loops and like data types any longer

[foggy pine]

LOL

[foggy pine]

brawldev

[formal crow]

i am so bored of videos

[formal crow]

im trying him

[foggy pine]

you have to go through the struggle

watch each video and PRACTICE WHAT YOU LEARN

[formal crow]

how do i "practice"

[round ocean]

also in server script all i have is walkspeed script and a leaderboard script

[formal crow]

like i dont know how to practice loops

[foggy pine]

make stuff with what you learn

making stuff with what you learned allows your brain to slowly remember what you actually learned

[tropic swan]

anyone needs help rn in building

[foggy pine]

if you just watch videos and not try anything in studio your not gonna learn anything

[foggy pine]

look at the channel name.

[formal crow]

how do u get ideas

[tropic swan]

many scripters struggle to build.

[formal crow]

like when you were learning

I just go to chatgpt and ask give me project ideas for loops

what did u do @foggy pine

[round ocean]

yo basic

anything else u need to know?

[foggy pine]

literally just make ANYTHING

[formal crow]

@round ocean what are u up to

[foggy pine]

it can be dumb as a print statement looping

[formal crow]

are u on the learning journey too

[formal crow]

Ok

is brawldev best route

[foggy pine]

yes

thats who i started from

[foggy pine]

are u on windows

[round ocean]

trying to maek these gamepassses actualy give what their buying

[formal crow]

Ok bet

[round ocean]

yes

[formal crow]

are u a beginner too

[foggy pine]

do ctrl + shift + f

and type MarketplaceService inside

it should show all scripts with that inside

[round ocean]

kinda i dont know scripting that much ive been taking calsses in school but its impossible to learn because of the freshamn in that class so im basically a complet newbie

also i did

[formal crow]

i feel that

[round ocean]

want me to send it to u basic?

[foggy pine]

sorry if im late to respond guys, i shouldn't be up rn lol

[round ocean]

fr bro our teacher gave up on teaching OUR class becasue of them not kidding

[round ocean]

alg

[foggy pine]

how many scripts have MarketplaceService inside

[round ocean]

9

[foggy pine]

dayum..

send what u see

after typing MarketplaceService with ctrl + shift + f

[formal crow]

yeah

[foggy pine]

was the one gamepass u tried to buy the one broken?

or all of them

[round ocean]

none are broken its just when i buy them i dont know how to actually give the player what they bought i dont have any script that do that yet

[foggy pine]

ohh

ok do ctrl + shift + f and search for PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished

[cold bison]

I will send you a vid

[foggy pine]

click it

or double click it

it should bring u to the script

[cold bison]

https://youtu.be/nh7MYYL5CGE?si=eWRSqFPGqhqYzm98

[foggy pine]

the guy doesn't know how to script at all

his friend does it

[round ocean]

local function closeShop()
if not shopOpen then return end
shopOpen = false
SoundService(sounds.CloseShop)
TweenService(shopFrame, tweenInfoSlide, {Position = UDim2.new(1.25, 0, 0.1, 0)})()
TweenService(shopButton, tweenInfoFade, {ImageTransparency = 0})()
end

shopButton.MouseButton1Click(function()
SoundService(sounds.Click)
if shopOpen then
closeShop()
else
openShop()
end
end)

closeButton.MouseButton1Click(function()
SoundService(sounds.Click)
closeShop()
end)

UserInputService.InputBegan(function(input, gp)
if gp then return end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Escape and shopOpen then
closeShop()
end
end)

MarketplaceService.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished(function(plr, passId, wasPurchased)
if plr == player and wasPurchased then
print("Purchased Gamepass: " .. passId)
end
end)

[cold bison]

Brawl dev teaching good isn't he?

[foggy pine]

yes lol, except that is an advanced video

that u are showing to a newbie

[foggy pine]

the issue is that MarketplaceService.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished is happening on the client

so nothing will actually happen ._.

[round ocean]

hm

[cold bison]

Ok

[foggy pine]

do u have a bat tool

in the game?

[round ocean]

yes

in server storage

[foggy pine]

ok where is it located

in a folder or the parent is serverstorage?

[round ocean]

parent is server

[foggy pine]

ok make a folder in serverstorage called Tools

and put that tool under it

[round ocean]

ok done

[foggy pine]

alright

remove this from the script:

MarketplaceService.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished(function(plr, passId, wasPurchased)
if plr == player and wasPurchased then
print("Purchased Gamepass: " .. passId)
end
end)

[round ocean]

ok i did

[foggy pine]

make a server script in server script service

[round ocean]

ok done

[foggy pine]

ok let me make the code rq.

[runic plume]

thank you tons! appreciate it allt

[round ocean]

damn bro you have no idea how much i apprecaite this

[cold bison]

Guys how to do morph skin?

[foggy pine]

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")

local gamepassFunctions = {
  ["123456789"] = function(player: Player)
      local bat = ServerStorage.Tools.Bat:Clone()
      bat.Parent = player.StarterGear
      local secondClone = bat:Clone()
      secondClone.Parent = player.Backpack
  end
}

MarketplaceService.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(function(player: Player, passId: number, wasPurchased: boolean) 
    if not wasPurchased then return end

        if MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, num) then
          func(player)
      end
    end
end)

@round ocean try this

wait rq

before you paste that, what is the tool name of the bat

[round ocean]

where do i put it??

Bat

[foggy pine]

ok whats the gamepass id of the bat

[round ocean]

1601986569

[foggy pine]

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")

local gamepassFunctions = {

      local bat = ServerStorage.Tools.Bat:Clone()
      bat.Parent = player.StarterGear
      local secondClone = bat:Clone()
      secondClone.Parent = player.Backpack
  end
}

MarketplaceService.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(function(player: Player, passId: number, wasPurchased: boolean) 
    if not wasPurchased then return end

        if MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, num) then
          func(player)
      end
    end
end)

ok create a script in serverscriptservice and paste that inside

[round ocean]

and test?

[foggy pine]

yes

[round ocean]

holy crap it worked

[foggy pine]

GG

[round ocean]

yo your actually the greatest human ive ever met'

[foggy pine]

no problem bro

[round ocean]

no one ive ever asked for help has done this for me bro

can i use that script for the other two gamepasses it would be a 2x coins gamepass and a admin commands gamepass

if i cant its fine

[foggy pine]

you can & can't

you need your friend to make the function that will make those work

but he can simply just put it inside the gamepassFunctions table

and it should operate

since i loop through EVERY id in the table

[round ocean]

alright ill tell him what u told me

[foggy pine]

anyways i gotta go sleep

[round ocean]

agian thank you so much for the help bro

[foggy pine]

np

[round ocean]

cya U DA BEST

[ashen moat]

Yo boys, how long will it take approximately to learn how to code? I was very good 3-4 years ago but then switched to building then stopped for a year

I want to make a small game solo

[cold bison]

Idk maybe year or some months depends on level you was

[ashen moat]

I want to make a small game like not those huge ahh games u see on the front pages

Smth simple

I have 3 months

[cold bison]

If really small maybe you can finish in 1-2 months but if you will work really much maybe just some weeks

Like gag was created 16-year old boy for 3 days bc he was almost doing it 3 full days

[ashen moat]

Hmm alr, any tips on where to start like what tutorials

[cold bison]

Tutorials about game creating?

[ashen moat]

Scripting first

[cold bison]

You was good at it before yes?

If yes you can watch brawl dev adv scripting tutorial guide

[cold bison]

But if newibe just watch brawl dev
Begginer scripting tutorial guide

[ashen moat]

Ye i was goated but like i said its been 3-4 years

U got a link?

[somber vault]

@bold veldt DMs!!!

[shut quail]

Are there lists for when u dont know what data you wanna put in it or is it only arrays and dictionaries

[carmine merlin]

could you elaborate

what do you mean dont know what data you want to put in

tables are dynamically typed

[shut quail]

As in I know I want to have a list of whatever, but I dont know exactly what data I wanna put in it yet

[carmine merlin]

you dont need to state what you are putting in a table

[shut quail]

Nice

[carmine merlin]

l = {}
l["this"] = 2
l["that"] = "yes"
print(l)

--- {
       ["that"] = "yes",
       ["this"] = 2
    }

[humble portal]

{ 1, 3 }

[rotund pawn]

When creating party rounds base game (such as 99 nights, dead rails,...) Should I load user data, such as class to datastore, update during gameplay (collecting coins) and save to DB on player remove/game finished?

[carmine merlin]

yes, but id recomend using a datastore library

[shut quail]

You're still presetting ur data tho

[carmine merlin]

wdym?

the list is getting created on line one

and data is being set on lines 2 and 3

[rotund pawn]

Which library?

[shut quail]

I dont wanna set the data cause idk what data I wanna put in it yet

[carmine merlin]

profilestore is a good one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2SP_TLeWHI

[rotund pawn]

nah I prefer my own

[carmine merlin]

what do you mean put in it

[rotund pawn]

It is just a wrapper of datastore roblox provides, I prefer my own code to fit my needs without need to learn structure of someone elses code

[carmine merlin]

main thing it does is deal with too many datastore requests and double logins well

[shut quail]

Idk yet, maybe user inputs in strings

[rotund pawn]

Yeah just code wrapper, I have my own modules 😄

[carmine merlin]

you dont create the table now and write the code to put stuff in it later

[shut quail]

thats too bad

the reason im asking is cause in C# I can just do C# List<string> list = new List<>(); and then whenever I want I can do C# list.Add("blabla");

[carmine merlin]

c# is statically typed

when I create a list or a variable in c# you have to state the datatype it contains

[rotund pawn]

table.insert() in lua

[carmine merlin]

while roblox is dynamically typed

a table can have multiple differnet variable types, and it determined the type automatically

[shut quail]

even in an array?

[shut quail]

nice

[carmine merlin]

so I can do

local thisVar = "food"

thisVar = 2

[carmine merlin]

yes

[shut quail]

thats crazy

[carmine merlin]

also arrays and dictionaries are the same datatype in lua

[shut quail]

okay?

[rotund pawn]

Yeah I was stunned too that I can assign string input to physical clone of model without needing a new variable

[wispy stag]

i have this car and for whatever reason i stand on nothing instead of the seat anyone know why?

[shut quail]

lol ok then wtf

[carmine merlin]

very different language from c#

similar to python in a lot of ways

[shut quail]

obviously but until now knowing C# has helped me a lot

[mild cloak]

Why ur guy have hyper realistic hair

[rotund pawn]

C# is amazing language

[carmine merlin]

yeah, its very good for preformance and used in a lot of modern games, but is a low level language and therefore hard to learn

[rotund pawn]

C# is hard to learn?

[carmine merlin]

compared to lua it is

[shut quail]

trust me C# is not hard to learn

it gets hard when u start with reading txt files and when u work with classes (OOP)

[carmine merlin]

im just saying lua is way easier

[shut quail]

i bet if I give u some basic code rn in C# you will be able to read it

[shut quail]

yea its more readable too

[carmine merlin]

though stuff like oop in lua can be anoying to do because its not built for that but most games use it

[rotund pawn]

What I like about C# is that it has large variety of uses.
Also it is really easy to understand

[shut quail]

doesnt studio take care of it

[shut quail]

100%

[carmine merlin]

wdym

im just saying that its not very intuitive in lua to do oop

and theres also almost nothing built into the base language

you have to take a lot of libraries

[shut quail]

like the roblox game engine makes object oriented programming much easier right? Cause everything is basicly an object, and every object already has default properties. You dont have to set properties, give it a constructor and make methods around that

methods other word for functions btw

[carmine merlin]

making your own objects is unintuitive and anoying

[shut quail]

it is?

[carmine merlin]

like roblox doesnt let you do stuff like inheritence

[rotund pawn]

Yeah, Roblox studio is easy cuz it is simple, Studio implements so much stuff on its own

[carmine merlin]

you can work with their base objects easily but objects that you make have a lot of limitations

[shut quail]

yea thats true

didnt think about that

[carmine merlin]

the entire thing is kind of like a wrapper

[rotund pawn]

Also Roblox provides own datastore and stuff like that, I still prefer my own SQL, but it is nice plus

[raw delta]

does anybody have an custom dash script that works?

I've been searching on youtube

[rotund pawn]

collisions

[raw delta]

which they are either non-working or aren't that good

[rotund pawn]

create

[raw delta]

oh?

[wispy stag]

can u fix it

[shut quail]

i still dont know how that works datastore on roblox

talking about SQL btw im in database class rn

theme goes hard fr

[rotund pawn]

So much memories, lmao

I miss SQL

[rotund pawn]

You have service datastore service:CreateDatabase(NAME) or sum and you can use :SetAsync(key,value), :GetAsync(key)

[rotund pawn]

Disable collisions on unrealted stuff, such as chasis. Assuming whole car is union

[sick solstice]

someones asking me to create a fully modular item shop script that just purchases with equip + unequip and im not sure how much to charge its pretty simple

in usd

whats a reasonable amt?

[rotund pawn]

Any more details or just script?

[shut quail]

ok and how do you access the data?

[rotund pawn]

Well, you can't

[carmine merlin]

just :setasync and :getasync

[rotund pawn]

You cant see, you cant edit, you only have Roblox Create place page showing database entry by key

[sick solstice]

they just want me to create an item shop that's modular, they provided the ui so all i need to do is just script purchasing, storing purchases and save equipped items but they've already provided me with their datastore scripts thats it really

also they want it tweened

[rotund pawn]

Stupid, really stupid

[carmine merlin]

though most people use wrappers for it because they dont want to spend a week making a flawless system

[shut quail]

wow thats stupid... but at least its free and its not on ur own PC

[rotund pawn]

Wrappers are for people familiar with system, people will never learn with using libraries

[shut quail]

whats that

[rotund pawn]

Also size limit is limited by user numbers

[rotund pawn]

They are suggesting to use free library that is just wrapper to roblox datastores...

[carmine merlin]

libraries that make robloxes datastore system better to work with

[wispy stag]

fixed it

[rotund pawn]

Profile store still does not allow editing of datastore, just way to handle it

[carmine merlin]

wdym?

[rotund pawn]

sounds simple, you need to set hourly rate of your time. If you have job, 150% of your hourly rate is funny number. Its up to you how you value your own free time

[rotund pawn]

Like SQL database you can just open and edit values

[carmine merlin]

its basically like that in roblox even using profileservice, but the datastore gets opened when the player joins and can be written to and saved

[rotund pawn]

Nobody will make me use wrappers on simple stuff 😄

[shut quail]

so I cant edit 1 user's data? I can only do so for everyone or no one

unless they have like a badge or gamepass, ...

[carmine merlin]

no

[rotund pawn]

You have to create own script that does that

[shut quail]

okay

[carmine merlin]

when player joins you get their data and store locally in a table(dictionary), then when they leave or when server closes you set their data(write it)

[rotund pawn]

You can't just open database and select value like excel sheet, you have to create own UI that opens specific player data by getasync, then edits them and set async after save

[shut quail]

i can live with that

I’m looking for a good scripter

[rotund pawn]

#scripter-hiring

[jovial crown]

offering %, am i right

[shy cipher]

I haven't scripted in a while, is this syntax correct?

[peak jolt]

no

[static coral]

it will tell you if its wrong

[vestal burrow]

i guess function Tservice.SetPlaying = ....

[shy cipher]

got it, thanks

[vestal burrow]

return playerData.progress.rebirth
end

[somber vault]

Is anyone here really skilled with python? Particularly pygame

[charred night]

you can do it like that too, if you prefer

[weary ravine]

data store is driving me crazy even ai couldnt help me 💔

[charred night]

What

[steel lynx]

Bruh

[weary ravine]

i was learning data stores so i made a coin earning system and then i tried making a datastore to save those coins and everytime i try it didnt work so i gave my script to ai and it still didnt work its literally a simple leaderstats coin saving script im gonna go insane bro

[charred night]

Show the scirpt

did u follow the examples on roblox guide

[weary ravine]

wdym

[somber vault]

Is anyone good with python?

[bleak wind]

hello guys i just started scripting

[sinful sable]

how to make bird ai

[bleak wind]

honestly i dont know...

[sinful sable]

how to make bird ai

[stiff saddle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tY4D-J9dkE

[tired violet]

its the same thing as the alternative

[tired violet]

thats just wrong tho

[vestal burrow]

below is working version

[sinful sable]

thanks but its not what im really looking for

[vestal burrow]

what you mean by bird AI? Its movement and interuction to the overworld?

[sinful sable]

im trying to aim for a rdr2 type bird ai where it will do circles

[stiff saddle]

ahh

[sinful sable]

and then take long paths and will react to the environment

i want it to react to sound

since my npc at the ground will sometimes do behaviors where explosions and other things are involved

i already got my npcs to react to those

but i don't know how to make birds do that

[vestal burrow]

well it looks like some AI could solve ur question

[sinful sable]

i don't use ai for scripting

i only use it for other stuff in other games that i play

[vestal burrow]

who said you need to use AI to write scripts?

Ask for principle that ur birds gonna use

[sinful sable]

huh??

[vestal burrow]

common concept of the algoritm that ur birds gonna use to react to the sound

[sinful sable]

?

[vestal burrow]

bruh

what part you didnt understand

[sinful sable]

what you just said

[vestal burrow]

allr here is example

you lost in the city and have an ai

[sinful sable]

thats a reach

from scripting

i hope you realize that

[vestal burrow]

instead of asking AI to create a path to the exit ask AI to give you ways to find that exit

thats not direct code

i hope you understand the example since i have no other ways to explain that

[sinful sable]

thank you for your time but i still don't understand what you are trying to say

[vestal burrow]

Holy fuck bro

Now im doubt myself lol

Ask ai how it would do that, take the principle and code it by yourself

[sinful sable]

😵‍💫 ???

[vestal burrow]

Bro are you for real

ask ai what you asked here

And then take the idea

And code by yourself

[sinful sable]

im not looking for ideas

i already got the ideas

[vestal burrow]

Insert ideas into ai with all details

And take the idea

[sinful sable]

you are lost in your own words now

[vestal burrow]

Allright im out

I cant say it clearly

Holy fuck

Im done

[sinful sable]

ok.

[proven crypt]

hello

anyone online?

[rocky basin]

Is google portofolio good?

cuz I used it for my first one

it helps create new vfx, explosions, etc

for example, you can make a throwel that creates a wall, that wall will be made with instance.new

[marsh kelp]

Yea, it's not bad
the one I sent is for programmers to use. so it's a bit harder to edit, but gives more freedom and options if u know what you're doing

[marsh kelp]

search for sites.google.com here and you'll see a few good ones

[rocky basin]

k, thank you

[rapid eagle]

who needs help 😢

maybe you want to create a new instance

you just use it

but me like object poolinjg

🤓

[rocky basin]

you can but well its good

[iron kraken]

u can make any instance with instance.new

so lets say u want to make 100 animation instances

its better to just use a script than to make 100 by hand

[granite igloo]

but then you would need to prepare hundreds of walls for each time the player clicks

unless u want thousands of walls in workspace

[iron kraken]

if u want to store all the animations for a model without having duplicate animations by manually creating

[granite igloo]

ok say u want a part to be placed where the player presses their mouse

how are u going to do that

every time they click their mouse

[cobalt loom]

would any scripter be down to make a quick commision for 650 rob

[little pebble]

Especially complex shapes etc

[granite igloo]

no say u just want a normal part

or maybe u want a wall to be split into different parts when a rocket hits it

[somber vault]

wall:boom()

[little pebble]

With scripting but let’s say I don’t

[granite igloo]

wdym with scripting

oh nvm misunderstood u

well there are still uses

tho most of the time u can get away with :Clone() i guess

[little pebble]

@marsh kelp help, I trust your opinion

[granite igloo]

then you would prepare the object in workspace first

then u would store it in replicated or serverstorage

and when needed you would clone it in

[somber vault]

clone

[marsh kelp]

you would use killer:Clone() for that
you use instance.new for basic stuff that you won't have it precreated ( like an empty folder, basic part )

[little pebble]

Or whatever

[granite igloo]

no i said thats if u never wanted to use clone or instance.new

or what i meant anyway

[somber vault]

if you need 1k walls then do you just make 1 wall and then clone it or make 1000 walls by hand

[marsh kelp]

No, and you can't use it for that

[granite igloo]

you dont need to no

[little pebble]

Okay thanks guys

I was just concerned it would make my script messy

[granite igloo]

as long as u can maintain it in the future it should be fine

[weary ravine]

you cant look for scripters in chats

[noble flower]

oh

[weary ravine]

there is a whole channel for that

[noble flower]

true

[weary ravine]

i believe its against the rules

[bitter ember]

how do i make clean movement like this ? https://youtube.com/shorts/dj8KW9D1m-Q?si=2MJRRM7wWe9L3wym

Oop and ecs suck never ues them its just overdoing it
Never use modules its bad practice
Always create new variables inside runservice connections
