[teal yacht]

I liked my course on my school since they teached me how to actually manage a project

[outer flax]

no it's in c++ but I find it useful as a roblox dev

[clever sapphire]

then u go at ur own pace

and u get amazing material

[terse mantle]

for real and ive seen people literally walk into harvard classes they never paid for and still learn without the teacher caring

[clever sapphire]

lol thats insane

[terse mantle]

theres a video on it idk what it was called

[teal yacht]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mAITcNt710

[gilded lava]

does anyone remember an old like running joke in the roblox dev community about c++ scripts running in roblox? they had a name like meta scripts or something

[clever sapphire]

lol like

why would u ever go to uni except for the status of a degree

shits wild

[terse mantle]

do you know what API is? i heard i should have it turned on not quite sure what it means tho @clever sapphire

[teal yacht]

Their presentations really help, just like my course helped me; they taught me how to speak, how to behave, etc. But you can simply pay for a public speaking course.

[clever sapphire]

u talkin about like enable studio access to api services?

yeah you need that on

for data stores

[clever sapphire]

yeah definitely

[terse mantle]

yeah not sure what api services are

[teal yacht]

And btw, i learned to hate making group projects

[clever sapphire]

its like

[terse mantle]

the datatypes? like string, boolian, and number?

[clever sapphire]

data stores api, messaging service api

[teal yacht]

A b4tch of my group didn't do anything in 1 year

[clever sapphire]

actually idek what else

[teal yacht]

[outer flax]

what was your project

like a web or an app?

[clever sapphire]

no

those are data types, not an API

[teal yacht]

gym portal

[clever sapphire]

nice

very clean

[teal yacht]

The documentation has 500 Pages

The b*** took 7 months to make 6 pages, i made 500 pages in 1 day from 8 AM to 4 AM, and she took the credits bc i can't proof in law that she didn't make it

Because my team didn't prepare the report. so a tip, if someone don't do something u told them to do, make a report so you can kick them from your group

[outer flax]

dang i hope i dont get a team like that lol im in the first semester rn and I only did a mini website project with ai integration with a random group that was kinda decent

[terse mantle]

goddam

thats pathetic maybe u should have a talk with them

[teal yacht]

I talked to them for 7 months, but she is like that girls that are shy and pretend to be cool with everyone, so they didn't belive me, they only noticed it now, but its too late to kick someone from a group.

[teal yacht]

There's another group in my course that knows nothing about programming, but they're about to pass because they're sucking up to the professor. That was another lesson I learned, too—to suck up to the professor.

[outer flax]

why's the environment so toxic 🥀

[teal yacht]

What do you guys read here?

[stiff saddle]

akais

[clever sapphire]

dont use that for a logo bro

[outer flax]

aiais

[stiff saddle]

ye

;-;

that does not looks like that

[clever sapphire]

akais is memorable enough

just create a nice, simple font

[leaden void]

read alias at first glance

i watch so many crime shows

💔

[teal yacht]

Why?

[leaden void]

not good for the eyes

[teal yacht]

Hmmm

[leaden void]

i dont even know what it says

[clever sapphire]

its also just like objectively not good

[leaden void]

wait let me cook rq

[clever sapphire]

you gotta sit there starin at it to piece together what it says

dont go too crazy with the font

[teal yacht]

and this one? good for eyes?

[clever sapphire]

keep it readable

akais is very brandable

unique

[clever sapphire]

yeah way better than the fire

[leaden void]

here i made you one

[teal yacht]

It'll be for a company of my friend, but he will use it for roblox too

[outer flax]

why does it look like the letters are greeting each other

kinda cool

[teal yacht]

i draw it 2x

[leaden void]

remove the extra lines

[teal yacht]

Ok

[teal yacht]

I agree

actually

When you have a good name, you don't need to worry too much about creating an extraordinary logo, since everyone will remember the name itself.

[terse mantle]

am i allowed to put all/any music in my game? or can i get banned for copyright?

[teal yacht]

you can get banned

[terse mantle]

ah dangit

[teal yacht]

https://music.roblox.com/charts

[terse mantle]

good thing i asked

[teal yacht]

search for your music here

if it is here

you can use it

[terse mantle]

i doubt it will be but ill look

very niche

[robust fractal]

how to hook actor

[dire geyser]

elloooo!

[naive dawn]

chat am i cookin>?

[clever sapphire]

cool beans keep it up

gnome code or custom?

[naive dawn]

both

[clever sapphire]

niceee u early on your scripting journey?

[naive dawn]

some of his systems, like placement limit is client side, i made it server side and so on

[naive dawn]

no

since the start of 2023 or abit before i think

i am pretty much intermediate

[clever sapphire]

aye word thats sick. love to see it

[naive dawn]

thanks

[stiff saddle]

how to make oak chopping system like oaklands like how are they made

[vale flax]

vector math screwing with me

[fading onyx]

this is so true tho but wouldnt it depend if youre trying to grow a game

1st world def good for money

but in the long run?

[teal yacht]

another method is you could basically for the first 14 days run ads for all countries, get into algorithim, on the 15th day, start running the ads without the poor countries, also work, but you'll need much more robux

btw its a lie that people say better countries higher your CPP, mine didn't change anything

atleast for me

[fading onyx]

whats cpp again

[teal yacht]

cost per play

[fading onyx]

ohh yeah

[fading onyx]

ok yeah this seems about right

[teal yacht]

you need to get 0.03 max, above this you are doing something wrong

[fading onyx]

costly but worth it

[fading onyx]

what determines cpp anyways

[teal yacht]

amount of impressions/amount of people that click on your thumb

[fading onyx]

hmm i see

[teal yacht]

trust me, 3rd world country is the worst thing you can get, they are really dumb(with all respect, since i'm from a 3rd world country), and they destroy your playtime bc, for example, in a obby, you forget to move the camera of the player to the certain position after he dies and respawn, he will complete the checkpoints he already passed and will leave

[fading onyx]

you could exclude them right and its better to do that?

what countries should you target and avoid

[teal yacht]

philippines, indonesia and vietnam, you'll get a good amount of CCU, but nothing of revenue, with 500 CCU i was getting almost nothing a day

[teal yacht]

Don't do this

[fading onyx]

dont exclude?

[teal yacht]

i tried, i got much more revenue with US players, but you'll lose algorithim

[fading onyx]

so you js do all regions

and if i have a big budget?

[teal yacht]

I mean, on sponsor, with that method, yes, you can exclude, but on game in general, don't exclude them

the ads are just to teach the algorithim who they should recommend the game to

[fading onyx]

wdym on sponsor and game

[teal yacht]

how much you have

[fading onyx]

like a lot

if you have a huge budget whats the most to spend is it like go all out or find an actual balance

[teal yacht]

Excluiding these countries for sponsor so you teach algorithim that they should recommend your game for better countries, but on the settings of the game, where you can BLOCK countries from joining your game, never do this

[fading onyx]

i see

okay yeah ofc

[teal yacht]

for this method i recommend atleast around 90k

[fading onyx]

i dont think theres like a roblox option to block ppl from joining based on region anyways

[teal yacht]

If you have a good theme, the first 14 days is enough to get into algorithim

so on the first 14 days, be right nothing goes wrong with your game

like bugs

[fading onyx]

i see

what about small tests

[teal yacht]

There is

[fading onyx]

would that affect future launch

[fading onyx]

oh interesting

[teal yacht]

Like, running ads for 3 days to test thumb, and all that and then start the real ad?

[fading onyx]

yeah

[teal yacht]

No, what is going to happen is, you run the ads for 3 days, then you stop it, if your game stays with 0 CCU for 24 hours the study resets

so it'll not affect

[fading onyx]

i see i see

very knowledgable btw this is cool to learn

[fading onyx]

so what campaign would you do anyways

[teal yacht]

This is from 2 months ago, the algorithim changes everytime, so it could be different now, idk

[fading onyx]

daily budget or like lifetime etc

[teal yacht]

Never do lifetime

dialy budget

[fading onyx]

i se

[teal yacht]

daily*

[fading onyx]

for 14 days

[teal yacht]

atleast 14 days

How you said you have a lot of robux

after 14 days

run 2 ads

[fading onyx]

better to go more?

[teal yacht]

1 excluiding the countries

and another one for retention

[fading onyx]

i see

so maximize plays would be the first one

then good targets then retention

[teal yacht]

Yes

if it is bad

[fading onyx]

i mean first 14 days if u get on home rec ur kinda set right?

if it's a good game yeah

[teal yacht]

Then probably its gonna appear a message on your overview saying what you need to improve to get better stats

[fading onyx]

do you still put ads atp

[teal yacht]

Nah

[fading onyx]

i see

[teal yacht]

only retention, if its bad

i would focus on updates atp

[fading onyx]

so btw is it better to max out on stuff if u have a big budget or do u find a reasonable balance

[vivid abyss]

Why are you helping your competitor?

[clever sapphire]

yes you absolutely need good retention

expect home recs to get you several hundred ccu to start

if u have bad retention, itll fizzle out

[teal yacht]

exactly

[fading onyx]

@teal yacht do you own and make games or do you work on games

[teal yacht]

Both

[fading onyx]

should join me youve got good knowledge that i dont yet have

[clever sapphire]

whats in it for him

[teal yacht]

That's basic, there are much better strategies but they require more money

[fading onyx]

whatcha mean

[fading onyx]

heh guess WHOS got that

[teal yacht]

What game are you makin

[fading onyx]

cant say it here

[teal yacht]

Btw how old are you

[fading onyx]

i dont usually disclose that

[teal yacht]

By this i will assume less than 14

[fading onyx]

why would you

assume that

[teal yacht]

Most of young people are scared of saying their age

Like

i'm 18

i'm not gonna get hacked by saying that

[fading onyx]

i see well its just for privacy reasons i have a reasonably big image

[teal yacht]

Just saw your server

yeah probably

[fading onyx]

most people recognize Run Hide Fight

[teal yacht]

ngl i don't play roblox its been years, i only enter to study the theme, so its probably a big game that i don't know

[fading onyx]

oh wow

thats nice

js for educational purposes 😭

[teal yacht]

its bc its boring now to play the games😭

[fading onyx]

i see 🥹

[rocky basin]

yeah, cuz rn the games are for ages of 4-9

[fading onyx]

well btw if u wanna get more info on the game my teams working on i can dm u

[teal yacht]

when i was kid i used to enjoy a game where there was just a park in it

[teal yacht]

Yeah sure

[rocky basin]

fr, Like the most simple games with friends

[fading onyx]

alrighty ill dm u in a few

[sacred widget]

I am well over 18 and don’t disclose my age unnecessarily for opsec reasons

[teal yacht]

Hm

[naive dawn]

why do you want to know young people's age?

[teal yacht]

NAH BRO

DON'T FORCE THIS

[naive dawn]

sorry i just came into this chat

or channel

[teal yacht]

i was gonna say that if he is young with all he has rn he will probably succeed if he keep it up

[naive dawn]

oh ok

[frigid otter]

Anyone hire me gng

[potent maple]

Should I use Controls:Disable() for stun effect?

[mint light]

its unreliable in some cases, prefered to use humanoid walkspeed

[potent maple]

Then I'd need to use variable to prevent players use block and other stuff while stunned

[mint light]

When you re-enable controls, if player is trying to move for example is holding "W" key, they wont move, causing a bug-like scenario where you wont be moving even tho the movement key is held

it might also disable some other controls you didnt intend to touch

[potent maple]

Alright, so it's better to use humanoid walk speed and make a variable that will prevent players from using block etc?

[mint light]

Yes, super simple and optimized compared to disabling controls, because controls forces to engine to block all types of inputs

[potent maple]

Alright, tysm !!!!

[potent maple]

And, do you think it's better using oop for combat system?

[mint light]

yeah modular scripting is very important for clean code and optimization

try to use modules more often than regular scripts

[potent maple]

Alright, I'll finish my combat system using regular scripts first, and then I'll try to recreate it with the OOP , since I don’t have much experience with modular scripting

[coral oracle]

someone hire me Im +3 years of scripter and I can make you a system (except gag) of a game (payment per script and it changes to the scripts length)

[karmic tangle]

no

[fickle pebble]

#scripter-hirable

[coral oracle]

I cant.

[sullen nimbus]

Is single script arcitecture good?

[tidal bolt]

piss off

[delicate shell]

hey I’m intrested in buying games dm me if you have one

[copper dagger]

anyone wanna collab

[delicate shell]

I’m down

[delicate shell]

I will

[copper dagger]

check dm

you good in scripting?

hello?

[thorn helm]

hi

[copper dagger]

who knows how to script?

[thorn helm]

#scripter-hiring

[copper dagger]

ok

[oak verge]

sup

[copper dagger]

wsp

can you help me?

[oak verge]

Whats the issue

[copper dagger]

i need scripter for my game

like i can give you 25 % of my game

if it do good

[thorn helm]

sm1 give me a very basic task, i just started scripting yesterday and i wanna see if i retained the information

[copper dagger]

ok

make

[molten lava]

Make a simple economy with fluxing tax tates based on region

[oak verge]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-bird-злая-птица-gif-11035121084204696939

[copper dagger]

a door open with e proximity prompt

[thorn helm]

mhm

[thorn helm]

i cant do an animation but ya ill try that

[molten lava]

Use profile store and bridgenet or bytenet

[oak verge]

money or nothing bro

[copper dagger]

no no he is just doing for simply

[molten lava]

door opening isnt anim

[copper dagger]

not for me

[oak verge]

Bro i need game ideas

[molten lava]

shoot idk

make a brainrot game

[thorn helm]

fps game

[oak verge]

My word is it always this bro

[oak verge]

Mid

[molten lava]

i dont ever look for frontpage games ngl

[oak verge]

best to go for is simple and easy

[molten lava]

I prefer like private rp communties they pay good

[oak verge]

have you earned from priv rp??

[molten lava]

I wanna say more then like 20k

us

[copper dagger]

i have many ideas and i know how to build on;y thing is that i need to scripters . i know hwo to build reaaly good

[oak verge]

how did you even grow the community tho??

[thorn helm]

how do u make the prox prompts do stuff 😭

ik how to insert it and thats about it

[oak verge]

are the concepts good? show me em

[molten lava]

Well, I don't own them myself. I prefer to work for people

Examples: Star wars games / Medieval Games / Scpfs

[copper dagger]

ok you cooked bro ngl but you gotta keep on learning

[thorn helm]

yes ik im cooked, is thedevkings basic tutorial good for learning

thats what im going off of rn

[oak verge]

So you just worked on coms and they payed you usd + %?

[molten lava]

No, I prefer just USD.

I'm working on my own combat engine right now like the game Bulwork but, R15 and PvEvP aspect in it. Taking many examples from there

[oak verge]

How much are you placing in ads?

[molten lava]

Nothing, I said I'm working on my own engine that I will then use.

Currently I have no published game, I just work on comissions within the genres.

[oak verge]

Wdym youre own engine?? Is this not a game

[molten lava]

My own engine as in Framework for a game..

[somber vault]

sup so I have an issue, how could I load a players appearance onto a custom rig without it changing the bodyparts or sizes?

[thorn helm]

okay so i made a door but its not with a prox prompt

[muted copper]

let’s talk in dms

[thorn helm]

dm me

[muted copper]

Accept my friend request, your dms are off

[lament pivot]

got a problem with my custom startercharacter, the idle works for it but the walking animtion plays the roblox default r15 walk animation rather than the custom one

[peak jolt]

walk and run are separate animations

[ebon frost]

yo

anyone here know anything about the roblox studio audio modifiers

[median echo]

Is it a bad idea to hire a programmer who will code my game in Roblox typescript considering it's a small niche within roblox coding and it might make it impossible for a normal lua developer to work on the codebase if its written in typescript which reduces my hiring selection pool of programmers by like 90%

[lament pivot]

i put the custom walk animation on both the run and walking yet it only plays the run

[lament pivot]

u answered it

[sacred widget]

yes don't

worst choice u can make

[median echo]

Conversely, you can argue that Roblox TypeScript developers are generally more capable and reliable, since TypeScript tends to attract more advanced programmers than the typical Luau developer base. So despite my selection pool being reduced, they will be of more competent devs

so im not sure

[wise turtle]

this isn't true

luau >>>

[buoyant wind]

Thats a really flawed way of looking for devs, while yes Typescript devs tend to be more skilled its not becouse of the difficulty but becouse Typescript gives more organization and as the name says type checking so you could also find a mediocre dev who likes to typecheck if you really want to look for good devs just set the years of experience bar high

[sacred widget]

👎

stop hiring minimum wage luau devs maybe

[empty nebula]

anyone wanna play or talk

[rough abyss]

yo

how do i make a prompt which prompts players to get notified for a upcoming event

[steady thunder]

ts is mainly used to be able to hire ppl from outside of roblox

since ts is a big language unlike luau

it depends on ur budget and scope/complexity of the game ur tryna get made

[civic vapor]

can someone give a very simple task i started learning scripting yesterday

[supple spindle]

make a fully functioning first person gun system using raycasts which is then able to check for penetration and make holes in a wall, make sure to include all animations aswell as limb damage, gun attachments, etc...
its the most basic thing i could think off right now i think thats good for a beginner

[peak jolt]

Make a lava brick

[civic vapor]

ez alr

[civic vapor]

kill brick?

[peak jolt]

Depends on how well you can handle extreme temperatures

[civic vapor]

ok

[peak jolt]

Make it be deadly unless you are wearing a special suit you can find and equip

If you have that working you can give yourself a heat meter that limits how long at once you can touch lava bricks without dying

[wise turtle]

hmm https://dizzyco123.github.io/robloxscriptingchallenges/

[civic vapor]

too difficult for noww

[karmic cobalt]

guys why layout order its weird asf when using on uilistlayout

how to configure it correctly

[supple spindle]

all of ts is beginner level

says expert but thats easy 😭

[wise turtle]

the scale is arbitrary

[hollow bear]

How do you guys structure your code aswell as handling server-client communication effectively, since i dont want remote events firing hundreds of times when my game includes stats that are updated and need to be visualised every few milliseconds

[iron kraken]

u probably dont actually need to fire every few milliseconds to update ur code

[bold fable]

hello guys

does anyone want to help me with scripting? im a begginer and i have been learning for about 2 weeks now and it would be great to have someone help me

[supple spindle]

what do you need help with

[bold fable]

just overall i want to be able to make games that can generate money

[peak jolt]

Seek employment instead

[unreal geode]

yo guys im selling an UI manager that lets you close automatically UIs and open the one you want to and is modular and personalizable, im doing it for REALLY cheap robux, is anyone interested?

[hollow bear]

huh?

To update the ui

[hollow bear]

selling 3 lines of code 😭

[iron kraken]

like a shop?

[hollow bear]

also wrong channel

[hollow bear]

stats

currency

[unreal geode]

how so lol

[hollow bear]

that changes on the server side every few milliseconds

[hollow bear]

you can just ask ai with no experience and itll just generate you a .Mousebuttton1click connectino which opens a ui of your choice

[iron kraken]

ok so like the player is getting strength and they need to update the ui to show more strength?

[hollow bear]

well not strength

[unreal geode]

bro what

read what i wrote

[hollow bear]

lets say they have passive income that has to update everyone millisecond or so

[unreal geode]

"ui that closes automatically when you open another one"

[hollow bear]

it updates on the server side but not on the client side

[unreal geode]

you dont make that in 3 lines lol

[iron kraken]

ok u can do that by just adding it on the client

with 0 remotes

[hollow bear]

10 maybe

[hollow bear]

buddy what

its from the server side

[unreal geode]

70

[hollow bear]

how are you meant to know how much to add and when it changes and stuff

[hollow bear]

no definitely not

[iron kraken]

lets say you add 100 per second as an example

[unreal geode]

lol bro you cant do it it ten either if you wanna make it sellible

[unreal geode]

yh def yes

[iron kraken]

you have one loop on server that adds 100 per second
and you have oneloop on the client that adds 100 per second

[glacial girder]

fish and chips

fish and chips

[static coral]

if the data is not sensitive and it is predictable, you can let the client calculate it for themself while the server stores the true amount, for example, if you get 1 xp per kill, the client can easily predict this and change it themself without the server telling them to

[hollow bear]

why would anyone sell something so simple

[static coral]

you can also just use networking lib + unreliable remotes

[glacial girder]

becausw the dev currupted

[hollow bear]

amount will fluctuate

[hollow bear]

buddy

😭😭

[iron kraken]

u can send a remote whenever the amount changes
but sending a remote every time to add to client is not needed

[static coral]

?

[hollow bear]

how much you get

[unreal geode]

to start making some robux? i got 0 im a beginner leave me alone geez

[hollow bear]

hmm tbf

[static coral]

then use what i said above

[hollow bear]

do commissions

[unreal geode]

they pay too much for things that are too difficult

[glacial girder]

teach me how to get commissions

[static coral]

also it may be a viable option to just change how your game handles certain things to make it more optimized

[hollow bear]

i got like 100k in a month of commissions from easy tasks

[glacial girder]

i am mid level scripter

[static coral]

but that depends on your game

[hollow bear]

you must be looking in the wrong places

[unreal geode]

easy tasks fro you

[unreal geode]

and how old are u

[hollow bear]

i was just talking about it in general to see how others would go about doing it

[hollow bear]

15

[glacial girder]

me to 15

[unreal geode]

so u make 380 a month

[hollow bear]

now i dont do commissions and just invested loads of robux into ugc and other stuff so i make way more now

[hollow bear]

no haha that was ages ago

[unreal geode]

bruh

[static coral]

unreliable + networking is good bet for rapidly changing data tho

[hollow bear]

yeah thanks for the input

[unreal geode]

is it weird wanting to make roblox development your career or

[supple spindle]

yes u do
for i,v in pairs(ui:GetDescendants) do
v.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()v.ObjectValue.Visible = not v.ObjectValue.Visible)
end

[static coral]

just remember that if you are replicating large amounts of data u will have to use networking lib because unreliable limit is around 700 or 900 bytes i dont remember

[glacial girder]

how to get commissions

[hollow bear]

not really

[iron kraken]

do what u want

[hollow bear]

it makes way better money than anything else that would require the same amount of work

doesnt tire you out or anything

[iron kraken]

if u listen to other people for advice u will be working mcdonalds for the rest of ur life

[hollow bear]

#scripter-hiring

[glacial girder]

roblox is good start but don't take as career

[supple spindle]

tell that to all these multimillionaires cuz of roblox

[unreal geode]

oh yh cause every ui has mousebutton1click obv

[glacial girder]

if roblox down what you do?

[hollow bear]

lol why not

[supple spindle]

yeah alright got me there, 4 lines

[unreal geode]

no

[hollow bear]

roblox has way more opportunities and its so easy to invest into and make way more profit

[supple spindle]

yes it takes 1 line to check if v is a button

[glacial girder]

print("Hello , world")

[hollow bear]

whats that gonna do?

[unreal geode]

[glacial girder]

what this script do?

[unreal geode]

every ui you have it automatically closes when you open another one

[glacial girder]

i think it it module

[supple spindle]

too overcomplicated

[unreal geode]

its called advanced

personalized and modular

[shell trail]

so whats the matter with the script?

[glacial girder]

every ui you have it automatically closes when you open another one

[unreal geode]

roblox wont be down in like less than 7 years bruh

[unreal geode]

what?

wym

[shell trail]

whyd u send the script?

[unreal geode]

proved a point to a guy

[shell trail]

oh mb

[glacial girder]

don't belive in time any things give unexpectation

[unreal geode]

you're good

[unreal geode]

roblox has 300 M users monthly

its at his peak rn

[shell trail]

wait if your an advanced scripter maybe you could help me

[unreal geode]

im not

[hollow bear]

with the money you make from roblox you can easily invest in real world opportunities you know

[glacial girder]

look the moderation

[unreal geode]

im quite a beginner

[unreal geode]

so?

[shell trail]

you know abt modular scripting right?

[unreal geode]

yh

[shell trail]

would it be better to register inputs on local script or module script

im looking into modular structures with 1 client and 1 server and rest modules

[glacial girder]

roblox added ads in future

it cool for devs

[unreal geode]

i mean its not a "better there or there", everything you do should pretty much be modular for organization

so yh modular

gonna go eat dinner now

[shell trail]

alr thanks

[hollow bear]

it depends what for

[unreal geode]

you're welcome

[glacial girder]

my leptop doing grinding noise

very loud

[shell trail]

combat controller

[hollow bear]

then yeah i guess you should use a module

[shell trail]

for a clean system I wanna register a universal cooldown for everything but if I reference it in a module how can I check if the player has the cooldown

[hollow bear]

local playerCooldowns = {}

--when a player joins:
playerCooldowns[player] = 0

--when a player does something
playerCooldowns[player] = x

--when a player leaves:
playerCooldowns[player] = nil

--to check cooldown:
playerCooldowns[player]

make sure its on the server side though

[shell trail]

ok thanks 👍

[still tangle]

i need help. i made a script so that when i press a text button it will play an idle animation. however, when i test the game there are no code errors but the animation just doenst play?

[unreal geode]

can i see code

[pastel pine]

Any alternatives to tags for kill logs?

[torpid bane]

What kind of commissions yall doing?

[hollow bear]

spend time finding one person who will pay you alot instead of doing random stuff for different people

you can build a good relation and get more and more as you work together

id spend a whole week on just that if i were you

[torpid bane]

Bet, I normally do like 3d modeling and sculpting characters, but for the last 3 years I've moved over to scripting.

[hollow bear]

trust me find some stupid person with lots of money thats in a rush to get loads of stuff done quick

maybe not in this server

just look around anywhere

[bitter barn]

where to learn to sceipt

start

[keen berry]

tutorials, roblox documentation

[keen berry]

or you can type that exact sentence into google and you'll find the answer someway somehow

[bitter barn]

ck tutorials what tutortials

[potent igloo]

brawl dev

on yt

[bitter barn]

does it teach everything

[potent igloo]

no tutorial will ever teach everything

because theres always new things to learn

even if youre 10 years into programming on roblox

but it gives you a solid base and its probably the best scripting series out rn

[bitter barn]

Oh

after if i finish that what would i need learn next or is it everything i need to know the basic and advanced series

[potent igloo]

after that you would be able to learn by your own

using the documentation

but you should start before thinking of what you will do after

this is the kind of things ppl that never start worry about

[sinful lantern]

if i wanna learn to code what should i start with liek python or? and where shoulkd i learn

[iron kraken]

lua + roblox 😃

[supple spindle]

does anyone know how i could start approaching some entering and leaving mechanism for vehicles? like in GTA when you wanna go in the car the player first walks to the door, opens it and then takes a seat. how would i approach this?

[primal python]

start with making car ig

[supple spindle]

already made a car system

[primal python]

I mean it must be part of car system

so well it needs own sub system I guess

which would hold 4 seats table with players

and play animation inside of door

[supple spindle]

well that doesnt matter i really just need to know how i would combine an animation with a random position in a radius from x around the door making it basically a dynamic animation

[primal python]

sounds way too complicated bruh

[supple spindle]

because if i were to play an animation regularly, then the player would just teleport to that spot, but i wanna start the animation based on the position the player is at

[iron kraken]

just make the player always walk to the same spot in front of the door

[primal python]

you can just animate by keyframes door and use animation controller or tween it

[supple spindle]

what about the orientation?

like orientation of player

[iron kraken]

yes make plr face the door

then play animation of player + door

[supple spindle]

that sounds good let me try that thanks man

[iron kraken]

u cud make it dynamic

but idk u would have to do like ik

or smthing

[supple spindle]

i tried doing that but that is fairly inaccurate since it always stops at a different spot

[iron kraken]

move using cframe then

instead of move

[vernal peak]

can modules that are used by local scripts use a bindable event to talk to a module that is used by server scripts?

[hoary cedar]

Nope

Fundamentally, BindableEvents do not network. They're local to the client and server

You need a RemoteEvent

[vernal peak]

Bro how do I make my module scripts talk to each other without events

Like physical ones

[hoary cedar]

That's impossible

The only way to communicate between the client and the server is through RemoteEvents

[vernal peak]

I see so many videos talking bout not ever using remote events and functions

Something like zap blink burnet

[grand scaffold]

no

[hoary cedar]

Those videos are referring to networking libraries or frameworks, which both abstract the usage of RemoteEvents

[vernal peak]

Are they hard

[hoary cedar]

No. The point of abstraction is to provide a streamlined interface for a more complicated or laborious procedure

[vernal peak]

Cuh 😭

[grand scaffold]

you speak so professional and elegant ive never seen anything like this
even adding word definitions

[hoary cedar]

It's important for developers to understand the terminology and common phrasing of their field

Abstraction is a major concept of software development

[grand scaffold]

yes, i understand but that wasn't my point

not in a bad way

[vernal peak]

Yo do u use this too

And if u do which one do u use

[hoary cedar]

I have never made use of a networking library. The current codebase I am employed on has a homebrewed networking solution

Generally, these libraries utilize compression and scheduled, batched approach to delivering information

This optimizes bandwidth usage, which is what these libraries solve at their core

My codebase does the same

This really only matters for games that see large player counts and deliver large amounts of data frequently

For a bog standard, "steal an x" game, a networking library is overkill

[vale flax]

unnecessary optimizations are still optimizations 🔥

[rough sierra]

Does anyone actually use the collapsible functions feature on the Roblox Script Editor?

[trim basin]

yes? its super useful for reading code and finding bugs in frameworks

Its just for viewing lol

[autumn vale]

Anyone who is using that is using vs code instead

[trim basin]

VS saved my life

[autumn vale]

I am too dumb to set up rojo and shit

So I using studio editor for now

[rough sierra]

What is the real advantage of VS?

[peak jolt]

More time spent in the kitchen irl (Somehow even laggier than roblox studio 🔥)

[trim basin]

it looks better has nice plugins and is industry standard

Theres nothing wrong with using studio

[trim raft]

is it bad to have 5 remotes for a map voting system?

[static forum]

Why u even need remotes

[trim raft]

Ui voting system checks on the server etc

[static forum]

But yh if u need use

3 max

[trim raft]

i will try

[burnt lotus]

i made a uicontroller but im using a localscript to check for changes in the humanoids health and data to then update the bars and fire the functions in the uicontroller modules should i leave it like that or try wrapping the local script ina module aswell ?

[trim raft]

1 to make the ui show cause i called it on the server, 1 to vote, and 1 to show everyones votes

[static forum]

Yh

[trim basin]

If it feels disorganized then yes move it to a module, but theres nothing wrong with using the local script there

[static forum]

Tbh it don’t even matter

As long as h don’t have more than 30 remote per game

[trim raft]

Ight

[static forum]

My game has 9 or 11 remotes

[trim raft]

I think i could make 1 remote do all the ui Popups

but i didnt think that far

so its too late

[static forum]

lol

[brazen anvil]

You can use plugins and also have access to copilot

Super helpful

Not to mention, if you use a package manager like Wally and rokit, you can easily import packages

[fading ermine]

copilot kinda buns tho

but i see ur point

[wise turtle]

use blink

[vernal peak]

gng ts js a empty text chat

OH WAIT

I JS READ IT

THERES A TEMPLATE

[vernal peak]

how do I call the events from my scripts

they aint physical

[wise turtle]

?

[vernal peak]

nvm ill go do research

[wise turtle]

runtime typechecking is probably even more useful than the performance stuff networking libraries provide

also these libraries were first made to save time in the rojo workflow

[whole summit]

yo

[wise turtle]

do you know how blink/zap works

[vernal peak]

im searching them up rn

[wise turtle]

it generates optimized networking code based on the schema u write in their custom language

[vernal peak]

so lets say I make an sprint event. how do I reference it in my server script?

[wise turtle]

after you use blink to generate the files, you would require the module and reference the function like any other remote wrapper

[jovial current]

What's the best way of making a Dialogue System? I'd like something style RPG Maker

[brazen anvil]

its way better if you have a custom chat mode for roblox

also does anyone know any good use cases for generics?

the only one I can think of is for an array, like java has with arraylist

ArrayList<String> cars = new ArrayList<String>(); // Create an ArrayList object

[supple spindle]

hello, i made a pathfinding script for my own player instance, problem is when i do this the walk is not smooth and kinda stuttering, any ideas on how to fix that? (local script btw)

[vernal peak]

@wise turtle

type Char = Instance(Model)

is this how i make the event only allow TargetChar

[tame ibex]

HELP ME PLEASE

In the WORST CASE of using e.g.
local Hearbeat=RS.Heartbeat
local Wait=Heartbeat.Wait
Wait(Heartbeat)

Is this still EXACTLY AS FAST as RS.Heartbeat:Wait()????

[vernal peak]

Ur the fucking goat I’ve been tryna do this network library shit for like 10 hours straight now

Get a free model tv model and start to script it

Using click detectors and image labels

[split fable]

Wdym?

[supple spindle]

You go in the toolbox and look for just a tv model

[split fable]

Hmm

[split fable]

And then I script the buttons and things?

[supple spindle]

Then you will make it work by adding and scripting click detectors and image labels

[supple spindle]

Yeah exactly

        wait(5)
        part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)

        if part:FindFirstChild("IsCorrect") then
            print("destroyed")
            workspace.Room4.TunnelGate:Destroy()
        end
    end)
end

end

[hoary cedar]

What about it isn't working?

[opal wasp]

You're doing:
print(randomPart.Part.Position)
But randomPart is already a part, so there is no child named Part.

so it's
print(randomPart.Position)

the entire script is
local partsParent = workspace.Room4.Buttons
local parts = partsParent:GetChildren()
local randomPart = parts[math.random(1, #parts)]

-- Choose the actual part to click
local basePart = randomPart:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("BasePart") or randomPart

local value = Instance.new("BoolValue")
value.Name = "IsCorrect"
value.Value = true
value.Parent = basePart

print(basePart.Position)

for _, part in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if part:IsA("BasePart") then

    local click = part:FindFirstChildOfClass("ClickDetector")
    if click then
        
        click.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)

            part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0)
            task.wait(5)
            part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)

            if part:FindFirstChild("IsCorrect") then
                print("destroyed")
                workspace.Room4.TunnelGate:Destroy()
            end
        end)
    end

[soft fern]

where are the ranks at?

[lost mauve]

im in the process of trying to make an incremental game and i have a question about if there is a better way i should go about the collectables as my only current solution is sending a remote event from the server to the client to generate a item and then the client sends a remote event back to the server when they have collected above a certain threshold (my current threshold is 10 total items collected) does anyone know any better alternatives to this?

[iron kraken]

Can h explain ur collecting system more detailed

[lost mauve]

its two way server to client asychronous communication where the server is generating a key that that client recieves and then the client handles the UI effects, models, and generation. After the client collects the collectable by walking into it the client sends a list of items that i call batched items. The batched items add up to a total amount of 10 and are used to prevent too much remote event firing. When the server recieves these items it verifies the authenticity of it by checking if it could of been generated and then removes these items from a list that tells all the possible items that could of been generated and generates more items since it is under spawncap if it was before.

ex. of batched table
bt = {[item1] = 8, [item2] = 2}

@iron kraken

[iron kraken]

Ok what if the player leaves before u collect 10 then they lose progress?

I think it’s fine if u fire server everytime a player picks something up

And u prob want some server checks for security

Cuz and exploiter would still be able to get items if they happen to choose an item that is in the table

[rapid eagle]

https://tenor.com/view/larry-larry-baby-ai-baby-laughing-ai-baby-baby-gif-17394836155970552795

[lost mauve]

oh thats handled by game.players.playerremoving

[iron kraken]

So the data is still on client tho

Because u only fire server after 10 are received?

[lost mauve]

thats a different case

when the player leaves all the temp data the client stores is sent to the server

[iron kraken]

I’m not sure if u can fire client tho in player removing

[lost mauve]

and batched items fall into that category and they are handle by the corresponding module script

[lost mauve]

oh yea

[iron kraken]

Ye but once player removing is triggered u can’t communicate with that player any more across client server

[lost mauve]

ill change it to use a remotefunction then

[lost mauve]

oh

[iron kraken]

So it would be easier to just fire every time the player picks up and maybe add a distance check on server

[lost mauve]

i mean but the difference of 10 items is neglibile it wont be a big deal if the server doesnt pick up on the missed items

[iron kraken]

Ok

[neat pewter]

[livid crater]

how do people make those cool animation of buildings where like pieces start at a random position then builds it self

[iron kraken]

script

[livid crater]

yeah but what is the concept i cant find anything on the internet related to that

let me look a bit more

[iron kraken]

loop through all the parts and store all there positions in a 3d array then use the array to find the closest parts near the part then turn those visible remove from array and then continue but the starting point now is those new parts u revealed

something like that idk

u cud also just loop every time but thatll be laggy if u hvae a ton of parts but itll be less work

[livid crater]

yeah

i just see it in tycoons and be

"woah"

[iron kraken]

o

i think thats just tweening

[zealous epoch]

hi guys this is prolly redundant but which approach is better for making an aimed move (throwing a snowball)
casting a ray from the character location and pointing it towards the mouselocation then tweening between them
casting a ray from the camera location instead and tweening from the character

[livid crater]

yez ik

[copper cape]

did u advertise game?

also do u have good thumbnail

[slender bane]

I moved this code into my module script (and altered it to work) do i have to put it in a function to reference it or?

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Leaderstats = game.ServerStorage.Leaderstats

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
-- will run when player joins
Leaderstats:createLeaderstats(player, {
{name = "Coins", value = 0},
{name = "Level", value = 1},
})

local coins = Leaderstats:getLeaderstat(player, "Coins")
coins.Value = 0

end)

Do u want me to ask it for u

Mine has superpowers apparently

[quasi sparrow]

please

[peak jolt]

Assuming you mean Roblox (Lua). Here’s a simple pattern using DataStoreService that saves a player’s team name and restores it when they rejoin.

Setup

• Make sure your teams are inside game.Teams, with unique Name values.

• Put this script in ServerScriptService as a normal Script.

• Enable API Services in Game Settings → Security (for DataStores to work).

Script

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local teamStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerTeamsV1")

Notes

This saves only the team’s Name, not the object itself. So if you rename teams, old data will no longer match.

If you want to force everyone to have some team on first join, just assign a default team if savedTeamName is nil.

If you paste this in and it errors, send me the exact message and I’ll adjust just the part that’s broken.

[vernal peak]

Should I have the animation manager have a function called play:(anim) or should I make it so it listens to signals and plays/clears them itself

[woeful mural]

what the parenthesis that directly trail after a function is called are meant for?

I remember they' can store arguments I believe they are called

but I'm perplexed and what the purpose of having arguments in the function parenthesis help with

[hoary cedar]

Scripters specify parameters within those parentheses, @woeful mural

Functions enable scripters to package code for reuse. That code may need to operate with different data. Arguments & parameters facilitate that

[fiery storm]

having a main function makes everything cleaner and easier, so 🤷

[hoary cedar]

Say you package an algorithm which adds two different numbers, we can set it up to work with varying input like so:

local function add(a, b)
    print(a + b)
end

Then:

add(5, 5) --> 10
add(5, 10) --> 15
-- ...

[fiery heron]

Anybody wants to try out my Mini-game with me please?

For HD admin, is there a way so that players with a certain stat can also access the commands? So if they have x amount of money then they can use the commands

worth it to learn oop and metatables while making a pvp game?

[fiery storm]

definitely.

is this basicaly oop? ```lua
local Items = {}

Items.__index = Items

function Items.New(Item)
local MetaItem = setmetatable(Item or {},Items)

MetaItem.Name = MetaItem.Name or "PlaceholderName"
MetaItem.Type = MetaItem.Type or "PlaceholderType"
MetaItem.Description = MetaItem.Description or "PlaceholderDescription"

return MetaItem

end

function Items:Attack()
print(self)
print("Attacked with "..self.Name)

print("Item is a "..self.Type)

idk ive never done it before

[chilly canyon]

Yes

[undone flower]

made my first working script

local speed = math.random(1, 1000)
if speed > 50 and speed < 100 then
print("this number is higher than 50")
elseif speed < 50 then
print("this number is lower than 50")

elseif speed == 50 then
print ("this number is = 50")
elseif 101 < speed then
print(speed)
end

You shouldn't be destroying and creating GUI objects to render a new window

[rose knoll]

my ui is dynamic

[hoary cedar]

That doesn't change my statement

[rose knoll]

fair, I think the biggest issue is calling module.UI recursively

because I do have viewport frames and since that renders 3d objects it could be performance heavy

im going to optimise it

different approach ig

[hoary cedar]

That's technically fine; you don't have to worry about a stack overflow

You're not calling module.UI from module.UI

[rose knoll]

oh yeah, im calling it within a button click event within module.ui

[sage glacier]

Are the dev king and other peoples tutorials outdated?

[static coral]

thedevking is outdated and he is just bad overall. and for the other people it depends on who they are

i would recommend brawldev tho if you are starting out

[rose knoll]

dev king is trash

[ivory spade]

oop sucks🤑

[magic pagoda]

whats wrong with oop 🥀

[ivory spade]

holy nesting

[open sparrow]

?

[vale flax]

try making your code more readable first

[sturdy field]

Is this on the server?

Also ur not cleaning up the connections

[worn mauve]

whats the isssue

walkj anim?

[sturdy field]

I’d do it all on the client if I was you

Manipulate what? 😭

Doing it on the client then sending to the server with server checks ❌
Doing all uis on the server ✅

New era of Roblox devs gotta be studied

[willow hinge]

who tryna be a dev for my solo leveling game

[ruby iron]

you're lost

like genuinely

[peak jolt]

if you have to create or manipulate a gui on the server your code is structured wrong period doesnt matter what performance implications it got

[ruby iron]

ui on the client

[peak jolt]

exploiters dont change that fact because what are they gonna do change the ui on their screen wow

[ruby iron]

^

[gilded void]

these that are hiring scripters ignores all dm

can i dm someone to let me know if i go in spam

maybe that's the problem

[peak jolt]

It applies to every single use case

There is just no exception

The fact that you can manipulate the ui of clients on the server in the first place is a vestige of 15 years ago

[sturdy field]

If you genuinely think you should be doing the uis on the server then go ahead

You asked for advice urself

[peak jolt]

Have you considered players with 100+ ping will literally have to wait to click through your guis and load things for no reason whatsoever

You showed 1 script of handling the ui on the server

Thats 1 too many

0 of your uis should be ping based for user input

[formal tulip]

[peak jolt]

Do you know what an event organizer is lmfao

They arent from roblox

Its literally just any user

No they dont

There are plenty of bogus posts and replies by people with no idea tagged event organizer

Just like all of the other roles that arent admins

Maybe go 20 posts down in that thread you found for the marked answer that gives more reasons you shouldnt do it and was given 10x the likes over your event organizer

[lean ocean]

UI on server 💀

[peak jolt]

Its not different its a known pattern and if you come in here specifically asking for "okay or overcomplicated," step 1 is "move it to the client" no matter who you ask, even if its currently "working fine"

Like the other guy said you were the one to ask

[inland agate]

How do you even handle ui on the server 😭

Never done that before

[iron oasis]

How do scripters fight against exploiters in games with quick time events on the client side? Exploiters can just do checks to click it at the perfect time, or pass through a custom time, etc. is the only way to have a report system so other players can report

[iron oasis]

U dont

Unless its absolutely needed. Anything u do on the server gets fucked on the client when they try to make changes, especially when the server is making changes to a ui that the client has already made changes to

If theres like no client interaction then its chill

[peak jolt]

the best way is to design your game in a way where hitting every quick time event does not offer you a significant advantage over missing a few

anti cheat just goes on top of that

[iron oasis]

Thats gonna be a problem.

I just feel like its impossible to prevent exploiters from winning every game

[peak jolt]

then unless its literally a fighting game or an fps where you have to deal with aimbot the game is poorly designed

[iron oasis]

Its a swimming game

Why would you not want the ppl who perfectly click to win

[wise turtle]

auto clicker

macro

[peak jolt]

if the entire game loop is "press q e in the perfect moment" is it really a swimming game or did you make guitar hero

[iron oasis]

Its not, but theres many QTE mechanics

Glorified guitar hero

If that makes sense

[peak jolt]

option a. lean more into every other aspect of your game and have "hit every input perfectly" be just one axis of skill expression
option b. do research on how online rhythm games deal with cheating

an inbetween is having anything -50ms to 50ms count as a "perfect" input, -100ms to 100ms as "good" and so on so the skill ceiling of an exploiter isnt significantly higher than that of a good... reactor

theres a lot of games where even if you have a cheat for the mechanics it does not guarantee a win

its just one axis though, anti cheat and matchmaking are not meaningless, im just telling you that theres more options because you asked for anti cheat specifically

[graceful vale]

Y'all, can someone dm me where I can get game templates, I want to make simple games by myself and learn. For now I want an obby template with skips, shop gear, etc

-# (also don't make the stupid joke of hahah @graceful vale finding templates ok, it already came to my mind and I laughed)

[jaunty herald]

yo my server and client broke, is this happening to anyone else?

[jaunty herald]

@graceful vale

there you go

[static coral]

elaborate

[jaunty herald]

my ui doesnt load and my data stopped being fetched

parts of them should load seperately they just stopped

ill just ctrl z and see what happened

replicated first is also not loading my loading screen

[static coral]

show outputs

[jaunty herald]

k

the infinite yields are nonsense cuz they exist

thing is i joined on another pc and the same thing happened

[static coral]

to get rid of the inf yields, make sure that you spelled the names right and that the child actually does exist and then just add math.huge as a timeout

get rid of them first then check if it doesnt solve the problem

[jaunty herald]

oh ok

well heres the thing

the server is having issues too

it was just working am oment ago

and then i edited some local scripts

and then it broke

so its probably just studio

[static coral]

r u not maybe using profilestore wrong

[jaunty herald]

ok one sec that was the last thing i did

i did it very lazily this time

yeah it has nothing to do with that

everything just broke at once

i probably accidentally moved something in workspace

[timid light]

Im basicly making a game a bit like taxi boss, but instead of taking "normal people" you take criminals that have completed hiests exc. Then there are cops after you. That will try to get you (Your car basicly has health, and when a cop rams ur car some of that health gets taken away. When ur car dies you basicly die)
Its gonna be a hell to script😭
How long do yall think its gonna take

[cyan gazelle]

what do you mean by "game templates" because I see that your a builder. I'm just alittle confused?

[graceful vale]

Game systems that are already made
