[cyan gazelle]

i see

i had some templates but I've deiced to rework them because they were created when i was newer

but i can always make some systems for you for free

i lowkey need the experience

[white seal]

This good for begginer ??? @graceful vale ???

[buoyant wind]

That looks really hood

[hasty cobalt]

has anyone experienced ragdolling while falling down sometimes causes flying?

[gray bough]

Guys, if i want to make a combat animation, do i need to do 1 animation per M1, or just make the whole M1 combo in the same animation ?

[steel lava]

yo guys what should I add into a framework for a game (basically base networking, data, utils) like stuff every game will need so I can speed up my dev proccess

[rough sierra]

Sup gamers, do you use VS Code?

Should I use anythhing else beside rojo?

[subtle terrace]

U only need the luau lsp server plugin for typechecking and maybe selene

Then you can manage rojo with rokit

[rough sierra]

what is rokit?

and what is luau lsp server plugin

[subtle terrace]

a toolchain manager

[rough sierra]

and what is selene

[subtle terrace]

You can search it's github repository

[subtle terrace]

A linter for luau

[subtle terrace]

The thing that gives you typechecking

if inputn == Gates:FindFirstChild(inputn) then.
why does this not work when the inputn value is the exact same as the child of Gates name

local Gates = workspace.GateLocations

would i js get rid of the first bit?

[halcyon slate]

print(typeof(inputn) == typeof(Gates:FindFirstChild(inputn)))

and youll see

[stable jacinth]

what does typeof do

[halcyon slate]

try it

[charred night]

what is inputn

you are comparing a string and an instance i presume

[halcyon slate]

itll give you +1 year of experience

if yu learn what typoeof means

[stable jacinth]

input is a text that is inputted to a gui

and then inputn is just made into lower case

[charred night]

yea youre comparing a string with an instance

[stable jacinth]

oh

[charred night]

you have to read the name of Gates:FindFirstChild(inputn)

so Gates:FindFirstChild(inputn).Name

[halcyon slate]

do this "if nil ~= Gates:FindFirstChild(inputn) then"

solved

[charred night]

what is this form of autism

[halcyon slate]

asparagus

[charred night]

thank you

[stable jacinth]

thanks

[halcyon slate]

that is goifg to break

[ivory spade]

CatermelonReaction

[stable jacinth]

i lowkey need to remember that i need to get the value and not just the instance

[halcyon slate]

because you cant guarantee it exists

[stable jacinth]

it always exists 😔

[charred night]

technically you just have to do if Gates:FindFirstChild(inputn) then so then you are checking for the existence of the input thing

[halcyon slate]

not if you have streaming enabled on

[frozen ginkgo]

your way better then me

[stable jacinth]

i have no idea wha that does and how to enable ts still

[frozen ginkgo]

guys can anyone send playlist or smth for me to learn coding? im intrested in learning it but im still bad at it

[charred night]

when you have many parts in your game you can make it so only the parts within render distance are loaded to improve performance

[stable jacinth]

if a script required a part would the part load in or would i have to make a process that manually did that?

[charred night]

I think so

i just know what streaming does, but i have never used it personally

[stable jacinth]

k

anyway the script works now

[smoky frost]

harsh truth... u cant sell shit to people, doing comms is much more efficient

[somber vault]

ok maybe if ppl start answering 😭

like i have dmed BUNCH of people showed my port and allat

and none of them wanna comm me even tho my works r good

[potent igloo]

have your portfolio on your bio

and post on #⭐creations

5k-50k robux, depending on how good the code is and how easy it would be to integrate with the rest of the codebase

the problem with selling stuff no one comissioned you for is that youre probably gonna have to underprice your work

[gentle sparrow]

Could someone explain to me when u would want to use GetChildren and WaitForChild?

[gentle sparrow]

Watch brawldev’s beginner tutorials playlist on yt

[frozen ginkgo]

already did

[frozen ginkgo]

but i still dont know what to do next

[gentle sparrow]

U don’t need more tutorials for any fundamentals then

[frozen ginkgo]

im stuck on what to do

[gentle sparrow]

I mean u can try scripting random things and as u improve, u could try scripting functional games

If u ever get stuck on something due to a lack of knowledge, do some research. U could look at the Roblox forums, watch more advanced tutorials, or simply look something up

[frozen ginkgo]

can you maybe give me an idea?

[gentle sparrow]

All that matters is u develop ur skills and improve overtime

[gentle sparrow]

Sure

Just gimme 1 sec gotta hit my set

Aight, u could attempt to design a very intricate obby where nothing goes as expected

Obviously this wouldn’t be for other ppl to play, it would mainly be for u to get better

[frozen ginkgo]

okay thanks!

[gentle sparrow]

Np

[frozen ginkgo]

is it ok if i read dev forums tho?

[gentle sparrow]

No reason for it not to be ok

As long as u truly understand the material and retain the information ur good

[frozen ginkgo]

i got ts now

nvm cant put photo

but i got leaderstats

[gentle sparrow]

Gl

[atomic flower]

i am making a combat game, so obviously, all the vfx are on the server to boost performance. should the animations be run on the client aswell, or can I run it on the server?

[coral field]

do you mean that the vfx is on the client?

[atomic flower]

oh yh mb. it is on the client

[coral field]

you should play animations on the client aswell

[static coral]

GetChildren returns a table of all objects that are directly parented to the object that you called it on. WaitForChild will yield (pause script) until a child with the given name is found under the object you called it on or until the optional timeout expired

[keen panther]

yo guys how can i make it so that my pathfinding script will follow the player even if the player moves because rn my pathfinding script moves the NPC to the last place that the player was marked

pls help me anyone

[gentle sparrow]

Ok but what would be a good scenario to use those in

[static coral]

simplest is to update path repeatedly

[keen panther]

could u give me an example script or smth so i can see what u did? ive been doing luau for like 7 months but im just getting into pathfinding

[static coral]

GetChildren can be used for many reasons, searching for and filtering instances, modifying all children of an object, destroying certain children of an object, modifying children that meet a certain criteria or are of a certain class, etc. WaitForChild can be used to wait for things to load on client or u can literally wait until a child with a certain name is parented to the object, but i would not recommend doing that

[static coral]

im on mobile

and i dont even do pathfinding

thats just the simplest solution i could think of

search on youtube

[keen panther]

ive tried but i dont get how their shit works cus i copied his script exactly and my script worked completely differently and i cant find any devforum shit

[gentle sparrow]

Aight thanks

[static coral]

dont just copy it if you are trying to learn

evaluate and look what everything does

and why everything is there

and also look up the docs for pathfinding and humanoids

[keen panther]

no i copied it to compare to the one i made but i dont get what makes his work better than mines.

[static coral]

how does his work better

[frozen ginkgo]

@gentle sparrow i dmed you

[gentle sparrow]

Ok

[frozen ginkgo]

@gentle sparrow can you help with ts?

local teleporterin = script.Parent
local teleporterOut = game.Workspace.TeleporterOut

local function teleport(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then
character:MoveTo(teleporterOut.Position + Vector3.new(0, 2, 0))
end
end

teleporterin.Touched:Connect(teleport)

[gentle sparrow]

What’s wrong with it?

[frozen ginkgo]

nvm i forgot a line

i forgot to add local character = player.Character

[icy bone]

Yo i wouldnt be giving help if i were u

[gentle sparrow]

?

[icy bone]

If you don’t know when to use WaitForChild and GetChildren then u should learn sum more before helping with code

[gentle sparrow]

Oh u meant helping in general

[icy bone]

Yeah

It wasnt supposed to be insulting if it came off that way

[gentle sparrow]

I agree ofc, but he just needed help with sum basic

[gentle sparrow]

No not at all

Just send your own code and copied code to the chatgpt(if you can't find difference) and ask him what are differences. But really read what you did wrong

what else should i make, like something very simple since im getting a hang of scripting

[thorny dust]

does anyone wanna get hired to fix a car system ill pay

not the whole thing but one bug

[wheat herald]

Change the while true to task.wait(0.1) or your Game crashes

[olive summit]

Why not use wait(. 1)

Instead of task.wait(. 1)

Just asking

[wheat herald]

You can use that too personaly I only use task.wait()

[olive summit]

Whats the difference tho

[cedar locust]

yoo isthis a game your working on? this looks super cool lol

[spare apex]

can someone explain on how to make a auto morph system that turns something into a morph, its already rigged and stuff just im really lazy because theres going to be lots of morphs

[civic garnet]

makes no difference

[crimson plank]

what do u yall use for knockbacks

lv?

or tweening

aw 😭

fr though if u could help it would be appretiated

cause lv is doin the job but not satisfactory enough

[loud cipher]

according to an unknown source wait() is a really old method and should be replaced with task.wait() as it's more stable

[icy heron]

its less accurate

wait() is closer to like 0.95 seconds (for 1s) while task.waif is like 0.97s

probably more even

[faint garnet]

yo are block hitboxes alot worse than circle

[loud cipher]

Cube hitboxes are generally more versatile. Spheres are generally for spherical objects like… spheres

[austere fog]

SPHERICAL OBJECTS LIKE SPHERES

NO SHIT

[deft coral]

ita about double the precision yea

[noble zinc]

No it’s for pyramids

Idiot

[wanton holly]

client or server for sprinting system

[static coral]

its movement so client

sprinting on server is so ass

well

any movement on server is

[austere garnet]

"Spherical objects like spheres"

0.05S LOST EVERY ONE SECOND? HOLY INFLATION!!

[icy heron]

Cant have shit in this economy bro

[median tiger]

Doesn’t task.wait scales with your fps

So the amount of time stays the same regardless of your fps

[supple spindle]

yes

[tardy pasture]

uhhh ths is bad u create like over 10000 connections to the touch function

[supple spindle]

whast the bug

look dm

[pastel scroll]

I have experience, just disable the default one and it’s pretty self explanatory after that

[twin cairn]

What's the order you guys normally code in? Imagine, a trello board full of features you want to implement. What do you do first?

[pastel scroll]

If you are worried about server security relating to a project that is 100% client side, I can see why you don’t think this is simple

[halcyon citrus]

feedback

[fathom ridge]

guys how to make a part's size change when you touch it

[static coral]

for dragging: use ui events to detect when input starts on a slot that contains an item and then make it follow the mouse (just check simple yt tutorial for dragging ui)

for swapping: make a global variable for currently dragged slot. then when dragging input ends while hovering over a slot, the dragged item will go into the slot and if there was anything else in the slot, it will go in the slot of the item you were dragging

for security just make sure that the player actually has the item in their backpack

[faint garnet]

So for a battlegrounds cube would be better or

[quasi smelt]

click on the part, go to the UI and click on the scale option.

[loud cipher]

cube would be better

[quasi smelt]

or watch a tutorial on yt

[faint garnet]

Can u give an example of what circle will be better for

[static coral]

ranges or things like attack or blast radiuses

[languid cliff]

Hello guys. Is it possible to make R6 cape ANIMATED without adding BONES in BLENDER?

[sterile pollen]

yo guys

[stable arch]

yes

[sterile pollen]

is anyone here interested in making a rpg game with me for % pls we need a scripter and its a very good game and concept

we got animator and ui and modeler

[stable arch]

uhhh

im a basic scripter

i know the basics

[sterile pollen]

i can accept u ig

[sterile pollen]

can u make inventory and stuff like that?

[stable arch]

u got experience in makin games

[sterile pollen]

yup

[stable arch]

whats ur roblox acc?

if i may ask

[sterile pollen]

not rlly famous but

[sterile pollen]

dms?

[stable arch]

sure

[quasi smelt]

Bro make a post in #scripter-hiring

[fallen sierra]

this is cool as hell

[spice imp]

rate my code

[fallen sierra]

wait() is slower than task.wait() thats it

[lofty narwhal]

Guys how long will it take to be scripter good enough to make a car customization system with bodykits and you need to pay for the bodykits

[runic island]

1 and a half year maybe

[shy cipher]

you should disconnect the touched connections to unclog your game's drainage pipe

[waxen osprey]

anyone wanna increase there playtime u can hire me for cheap as it my first work

[shy cipher]

wait() is deprecated and not as accurate as task.wait(), if you get the average of their accuracies with a constant of a 1 second wait, you'll see that wait() is a few miliseconds off from an actual second. task.wait() is MUCH more accurate to 1 second, almost to the thousandth digit. this is 'cause task.wait() is part of the new task library, it is much more "engraved" into the task scheduler. also, wait() is slower. task.wait() is better in all scenarios

Hello guys, I got LocalScript for my tool that has idle animation playing, but if tool being destroyed then the animation doesn't stop. .Destroying doesn't work

[quaint willow]

i need help i was using rojo i have made a module script in shared but when i call it or try to use it its just doesnt show up and vs shows it as unknown the code calling it is local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
wait(4)
local MyModule = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("MyModule"))

MyModule.foo()

[golden maple]

sup chat, using motor 6d to attach gun to player. Why does the animation i created missaligns with the result i get?like as u can see the left arm is off

[peak jolt]

animation weight

[golden maple]

set up properly. could it be since its r15 and the scale of the avatars differ it will just missalign bc of proportions?

[peak jolt]

yeah maybe

in that case for two handed you would have to rely on ik for the second hand

[golden maple]

no simpler fix? i wanna have full controll over the animations and ik kinda doesnt give me that

[peak jolt]

nothing except restricting the proportions

cause like what are you gonna do, the animation is telling the arm to point inward and downward, its gonna keep doing that

i think in real games they have parametrized animations where you can pass in e.g. a "gun length" parameter and the animation adapts to that, if you could do the opposite depending on character scale that might work but also sounds like the same effort as ik

[golden maple]

this is a game from 2020 and they also managed to do it, ik wasnt even out back then

and it works with any avatar type / scale

[compact spoke]

might also be scale

[peak jolt]

ik is like a thing

IKControl the roblox native implementation came later yes but math-based ik has been used since forever

but i wouldnt exclude that they had a kind of fix you're looking for. if it exists, i just dont know that fix lol

never really messed with humanoid scale like that

[compact spoke]

its largely not that huge of an issue to where it requires a ton of attention

[golden maple]

you think they used ik?

[deft coral]

doubt it

[golden maple]

i mean in theory i could just adjust the model

[golden maple]

yeah but the anims align perfectly on models that dont use special meshes but only different scales

[compact spoke]

or just make all of your animations around one preferred scale

[deft coral]

IK is a mathematical procedural model

The object in roblox just automates it

And implements it

[compact spoke]

;-; Um What is IK

[deft coral]

Inverse kinematics

[compact spoke]

@deft coral Hi im new

[golden maple]

yea i wanna give players freedom of avatar type tho

[deft coral]

Jolo

[compact spoke]

Then just dw about it

Its such a minor thing that hardly anyone is going to notice

[golden maple]

you think my gun system would look ass when i use ik

[deft coral]

https://tenor.com/view/try-it-and-see-give-it-a-try-try-try-and-see-try-it-yourself-gif-24095805

[peak jolt]

in 2025 you can have a bone/attachment on the gun and animate the gun normally and then disable/set influence of that IKControl joint based on the animation

[deft coral]

IKs blend with animations

[peak jolt]

so holding the handguard with IK but still having a normal reload animation

[deft coral]

So yeah that

[golden maple]

wait i can have my animations and apply ik over it for like adjusting the position of the left arm?

[deft coral]

Yes

They're specifically designed to work with animations and blend with them

Thats why they're an instance

[golden maple]

coolio

[peak jolt]

you can use animation events to control the behavior in more detail

[deft coral]

U can set weight and even priority

Ya

[golden maple]

elaborate?

[deft coral]

What usually happens is torso aims to the mouse while the arms are animated in a pose

So the gun aims to the point

[compact spoke]

for like a reload you could use an anim event to set if the ikcontrol is enabled for when the character takes their hand off the handguard

[deft coral]

Torso would be IK

[peak jolt]

in specific parts of animations you define triggers or whatever theyre called and in a script you change the ik behavior when triggers are reached

[deft coral]

Arms animation

If u wanna do it raw with IK

Then use constraints too

So u get actual limb movement

No elbows breaking

[peak jolt]

doesnt r15 come with that by default

[deft coral]

No

[peak jolt]

or was that if you had a bone mesh

[deft coral]

U gotta rig it with constraints

[deft coral]

Havent tried it with bones just r15

[peak jolt]

bones inherit from attachments so its pracdtically exactly the same thing i just dont remember if you had to use constraints to get a chain of bones to move

i think you dont cause ikcontrol has that depth property

[deft coral]

No constraints dont enable anything tmk

[golden maple]

whats defualt height?

of r15 rig

[deft coral]

They restrict movement so the IK dont act unrealistically

[deft coral]

Idk whatever it has by default

It can vary cuz of body type

[golden maple]

wait where can i restrict my game to only default r15 without all these new r15 features

this new avatar setting tab is ass

or do i check that with a script?

[charred mountain]

anybody know how prison life ip bans? its impossible to make a new acc and play the game if youve been banned from it

[deft coral]

Top right

Of the avatar window

Itll do a drop down

Set r15 only

[deft coral]

Ban API

Its a roblox service

[golden maple]

yeah but it still lets me to join like this

[deft coral]

BanAsync

[deft coral]

Thats r15

[golden maple]

yeah but if i want to limit the avatar and dont spawn with special body parts i have to use a script?

[golden maple]

this game turned this avatar into this one

[charred mountain]

is there a model for it?

[golden maple]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Players#BanAsync

but i think ban api is bypassable

since it ip banned only on client ahah

[charred mountain]

maybe but it would stop majority of exploiters that get banned though not all of them would find out how to bypass

[golden maple]

true

[astral horizon]

Does anyone know of any methods for keeping api keys safe in an experience

[hasty mesa]

secrets

[soft nexus]

hey guys thought about learning any package that could be helpful while scripting, does anyone know a very useful package to use except for knit ?

especially if it could help on networking, really tired of using remote events manually

[eternal blade]

can anybody help me fix like two scripts bc i ben tryna fix them for HOURS , they js dont work the silly knobs

[soft nexus]

whats the problem ?

[eternal blade]

im tryna make a chat notification for any time anyone Donates but like

its js not working

ive got a donation board that works and everything

its just the chat notis

[vestal pumice]

Like what part isn’t working

[somber vault]

No

It bans your account, and through fingerprinting any other account you use

and it can't be bypassed

[deft coral]

No

Avatar tab can set limits no code

[deft coral]

Theres api docs just feed it to chatgpt and let it make one lol

[placid vector]

you need to use a script

someone send me backtick pls

[lean ocean]

yea that's why I used a VPN and I could instantly play again

someone give me an idea for something that would take over 200 lines and would be complex enough to get the skill role here

all my modules are under 200 lines even with white space

Just saw this in the Roblox Developers hiring channel, I think this is the final straw for that god awful server

don't worry guys, he's gonna pay your gamepass

[tame ibex]

I did some testing and found out that trivial operations with Vector3’s are much faster than trivial operations with tables with x, y, and z and if I remember correctly even faster than having x, y, and z as upvalues

[upbeat jungle]

whats the value for like letters, like if i wanted a value "Epic" what would i use

[mossy lynx]

what the FUCK are u talkijng about

genuinely

[radiant night]

Does anyone have ideas for levels for a +1 Jump Every Second game

Idk what to add I already have 2 levels

[upbeat jungle]

it was a string value lol

[mossy lynx]

still dont know what u mean explain buddy

[upbeat jungle]

like i was using an intvalue for my rarity check and it kept being 0

[mossy lynx]

uh

my brain aint processing rn mb still dopnt undersatnd

but dont try explaining it again

Ohh

it said 0

instead of EPIC

[mossy lynx]

lemme be a dev fr

[radiant night]

I don't got any money

[mossy lynx]

free

[radiant night]

Idk

[mossy lynx]

I will js be like an owner too

ok

[novel heron]

let drrxco4 in

you will never find anyone more willing to help u succeed

[novel heron]

guys work with me on my game instead

im making the best apocalyptical survival game

@wise turtle how do i get image perms

[quiet pasture]

I have a question... what could help my portfolio?

[novel heron]

having completed games

[bleak glade]

[quiet pasture]

ok, thx

[novel heron]

wat is this

[bleak glade]

docker env

[mossy lynx]

lemme work

lowkey I want to make a game but got no ideas

and I cant make some high lvk fighting game cz uim not that experienced it would take me years

[novel heron]

u can work with me but only if u can code

[mossy lynx]

a year atleast, and I don't want to spednd all that time on my game

yeah I code

dm me

[novel heron]

i would show u my game but i dont have image perrms

[mossy lynx]

alr

[neon lodge]

finally think im getting the hang of scripting ❤️ anything I can improve?

[mossy lynx]

No need to localize duration coulda js put 10

[neon lodge]

ok

[novel heron]

i disagree

it is discouraged to use "magic number"

[mossy lynx]

Alr

Oh also Joshua

Joshie

Idt that frame is right

U can’t ppen a frame from a script

[lofty narwhal]

where and how will i learn scripting from scratch? ive been wanting to make a car customisation system. if you have some tips or some youtube vid or links please let know!

[woeful mural]

whats wrong with localizing the duration there?

[neon lodge]

wdym

oh wait

aint I supposed to use playergui or smth

i cant rmr

[neon lodge]

i bought two books on it ❤️

[mossy lynx]

Or use remote event

[mossy lynx]

U didn’t have to

[woeful mural]

k

also mind helping me out rq

[mossy lynx]

If you know a little already use chat gpt to learn u can ask it to tell u scripts to write look at examples or be like “how do I affect all players” smth like that and add it and if u don’t know anything, go on scratch or any coding website thats kinda like u can use blocks u can understand it that way because u needa understand what to write to be able to write

[neon lodge]

I haven’t learned about remote events yet but I’ll keep it in mind for when I complete the book

[mossy lynx]

The point of scratch is to show u like “oh if I put this block here and this block here then they will affect each other and do this” kinda

[woeful mural]

this is my datastore script and I added a while true loop to infinitely add strength every sec to my player however even tho the print statement I had for debugging is printed everytime the leaderstat value for strength doesnt change any advice?

[mossy lynx]

Don’t js use chat GPT also remote events u js create one, fire it, and detect when a remote is fired in a different script where u need it

[mossy lynx]

I don’t know data stores kinda confusing to me so I don’t bother

[neon lodge]

I haven’t touched ChatGPT since I’ve started learning, I also plan to only use it as a tool to help me create new systems and stuff so yeah

[woeful mural]

alr

[mossy lynx]

No

Use chat gpt to learn

Ask it how to use remote events and give an example so fast and easy

Let’s say u want something to happen to all players in the game

U can ask chat GPT how to do that and get an answer in 5 seconds and boom u know it now

[neon lodge]

Ok, but for rn I don’t wanna skip anything in the book. Just tryna go with the flow

[mossy lynx]

K

[neon lodge]

Cause I got 2 of em and the second one is thicc

[mossy lynx]

What typa book u got

I mean that works too tbh I don’t rlly know many stuff

But I js learn for frrr ain’t planning on spending money for now

Free

[neon lodge]

Alr

[mossy lynx]

Roblox coding is very easy to learn so if I were to spend money it would be later on

[neon lodge]

Advanced Roblox coding book an unofficial guide, and coding Roblox games made easy

[mossy lynx]

Mhm

Might needa get one

If I do I’ll get it online

For free

U could prolly find a copy somewhere

[lavish plinth]

chatgpt is bad

ai is bad

[neon lodge]

The second book has a lot more than the first tho. It has combat systems, ui, round systems, vehicles, and multiple game designs

It’s pretty good

[mossy lynx]

Chat got id not bad

Ur not using it to write scripts js asking questions to learn ofc it’s not gon teach u advanced stuff but it still works for most stuff

Oh that’s not bad

how do I make it so you can't hold space to jump instead u have to actually press it

[woeful adder]

make a what

[iron kraken]

yes

[shut ridge]

Your script make waitforchild on strength which is wrong. It is leader stats and then strength

And your script didn't have calls etc

[shut ridge]

There are videos like from Brawldev which is definitely better than a book

has anyone here ever made procedural maps before? Like in Skyven

[static coral]

no

[static coral]

animations dont replicate every frame like tweens do, they are replicated once and then played by the client and with knockbacks, regardless of how much force is applied to character the character replication will still stay the same

do you guys think if i was to make a roblox executor would help me on my portfolio

[stiff saddle]

Creating an exploit is a challenging task that typically requires a full team and can take months to complete. If you're working alone, it may be even more difficult. However, successfully developing such an exploit would demonstrate your coding skills and commitment. While I don't necessarily recommend pursuing this path, it could be a valuable addition to your portfolio as it showcases your abilities.

nah ur crazy

[twin cairn]

I might be crazy, and I am still very much learning LUAU but I want to sort through a list of modifiers and add those to my cache. These modifiers are all effects of certain items in the game. I currently run if / elseif loops for each of the upgrades to sort through what kind of added bonus they should have. Is there a more efficient way to handle this? My current code (Snippet)

    for itemId, _ in pairs(result.Inventory.ownedUpgrades) do
        local upgradeStats = gameConfig.Upgrades[itemId] or nil
        if upgradeStats and upgradeStats.Effect then
            local effect = upgradeStats.Effect
            if effect.Type == "BaseClickAdd" then
                mods.ClickAdd += effect.Amount
            elseif effect.Type == "ClickMult" then
                mods.ClickMult += effect.Amount
            elseif effect.Type == "BuildingBoost" then
                mods.BuildingSpecific[effect.Target] = (mods.BuildingSpecific[effect.Target] or 1) + effect.Amount
            else
                warn("Add effect type:"..effect.Type)
            end
        else
            warn("Missing upgrade or effect, refering to:"..itemId)
        end
    end

If I where to add a new boost I'd have to add it to this logic and to the gameConfig, is that the best way to do it or would there be a better way to do it?

[untold sierra]

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to game making and working on a cool project where the player slides down a fixed ramp/track and has to move left and right to dodge obstacles and jump, I'm currently stuck on the main movement mechanic (the sliding and lane switching). I've tried many tutorials over the last week, but nothing seems to work well for this style of game. If anyone has experience with endless runner/sliding mechanics (like a downhill roller coaster path), could you please lend a hand?Any advice or link to a relevant tutorial would be amazing! Thanks! DM me or reply below! THK 🙂

The greed

I’m thinking about prolly completing my story mode first

Then I’ll get Npc ai for like 30$

and call it a day

[deft coral]

did u rlly follow me into another chat after 30 minutes to just say "the greed" and give me some kind of report like im your boss lol

[cunning trail]

did u really say "did u rlly follow me into another chat after 30 minutes to just say "the greed" and give me some kind of report like im your boss lol" when he followed you into another chat after 30 minutes lol

[worn ridge]

I was just giving a greedy little guy some info about my future plans

[deft coral]

i did lol

he asked how much for ai that makes npcs walk around and i said like 200 bucks cuz of the setup and hes calling me greedy over and over lol

[cunning trail]

you sure about that animationID?

check that again

[deft coral]

ok blocked

[cunning trail]

also you didnt close your heartbeat

[mossy lynx]

yeah I alr figured it out i had handles needed to activate

[cunning trail]

make sure to connection:Disconnect() somewhere

[mossy lynx]

why? it works fine without it

[cunning trail]

memory leak

itll run forever

Unless im out of the loop here

[mossy lynx]

oh

is that why I tried putting a cd

look at this new code rq?

local tool = script.Parent
local character
local part = game.ReplicatedStorage.Models.WaveModel
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")
local cd = false

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
character = tool.Parent
end)

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
if cd == false then
cd = true

local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0

local forcefield = Instance.new("ForceField")
forcefield.Parent = character

local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://79679148125725"

local track = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
track:Play()
wait(1.2)
local clone = part:Clone()
Debris:AddItem(clone, 1)
clone.Parent = workspace
local HRP = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local direction = HRP.CFrame.LookVector

clone.CFrame = HRP.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -2)
wait(0.2)

local connection
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
connection = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt)
    clone.CFrame = clone.CFrame + direction * 21 * dt
    wait(0.5)
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
    forcefield:Destroy()
        wait(3)
        cd = false
        if cd == true then
    
                end

            end)
        end
    end)

dont mind the forcefield stuff aidn the extras

but the cd, it doesnt work, it works at first but then it has no cd after it goes off cd

i use it once, theres a cd i use it again when its off cd and theres no more cd

is it cz i dont close it

[cunning trail]

you have wait(0.5) under heartbeat

heartbeat happens every frame

which means your wait, walkspeed, ff, and cd are being called every frame

[mossy lynx]

which would do?

[cunning trail]

hold on

[mossy lynx]

it works perfectly fine to me but maybe theres stuff im mising

[cunning trail]

local tool = script.Parent
local character
local part = game.ReplicatedStorage.Models.WaveModel
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local cd = false

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    character = tool.Parent
end)

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    if cd == true then return end  
    
    cd = true
    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
    
    local forcefield = Instance.new("ForceField")
    forcefield.Parent = character
    
    local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
    anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://79679148125725"
    local track = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
    track:Play()
    
    wait(1.2)
   
    local clone = part:Clone()
    clone.Parent = workspace
    Debris:AddItem(clone, 1)
    
    local HRP = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    local direction = HRP.CFrame.LookVector
    clone.CFrame = HRP.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -2)
    
    local connection
    connection = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt) -- this runs every frame
        if clone.Parent then  
            clone.CFrame = clone.CFrame + direction * 21 * dt
        else
            connection:Disconnect()  -- this closes it for good
        end
    end)
    
    -- call this after and it only runs the once. done.
    wait(0.5)
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
    forcefield:Destroy()
    
    wait(3)
    cd = false
end)

try that

see what i mean

you stick the wait, walkspeed, and ff:destroy after you close the heartbeat

[mossy lynx]

do I need to use the ends, can I justg put connection:Disconnect()

*move

my bad

I js added a connection:Disconnect() seems to work

[cunning trail]

the one that closes the function or the one that closes the if?

[mossy lynx]

but cd still broken

   else
            connection:Disconnect()  -- this closes it for good
        end
    end)

you did this, I added connection:Disconnect() only and it worked kept the ends at the bottom like this

[cunning trail]

end IF, end the function wait walkspeed ff wait(3) cd = false end the outer function so yeah that should be good

[mossy lynx]

wait

it doesnt play the code

I need to add the wait before I close the heartbeat

disconnect it

if i dont, it wont have time to run

clone.CFrame = clone.CFrame + direction * 21 * dt
wait(1)
connection:Disconnect()
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
forcefield:Destroy()
wait(3)
cd = false
if cd == true then

                end

            end)
        end
    end)

clone.CFrame = clone.CFrame + direction * 21 * dt
            wait(1)
            connection:Disconnect()
        humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
        forcefield:Destroy()
            wait(3)
            cd = false
            if cd == true then
        
                    end
    
                end)
            end
        end)

this is what I did, if I dont use the wait then it automatically disconnects without playing the whole thing

but if I use the wait then my cd is broken

[cunning trail]

heartbeat should play no matter what if thats what you mean. you dont need to finish the wave before disconnecting. Are you having issues getting rid of the clone?

if so just use debris

[mossy lynx]

no I alkr used that

=so basically

[cunning trail]

Debris:AddItem(clone, 1)

odd

[mossy lynx]

when I disconnect right after it like this

clone.CFrame = clone.CFrame + direction * 21 * dt
            connection:Disconnect()

it doesn't play the full thing, it doesnt move for 21 studs it stays in 1 spot

if I don't do it or put a wait, it works and does the whikle thing but my cd stops working

[cunning trail]

oh shit isee what you mean

its disconnecting before it has a chance to move

[mossy lynx]

yeah

[cunning trail]

Is the model anchored?

[mossy lynx]

yeah

[tall sedge]

How can I “extend scripts” (Godot) but in Roblox?

[cunning trail]

its odd becuase adding the model to debris after 1 second should nil the clone.Parent and it shouldnt dissapear until then

wtf

im gonna play around with this some more

[mossy lynx]

alr appreciate it

@cunning trail tbh even if u cant get it, this is js a test ability im makinmg

its my first ability i ever made

im learning so it doesnt rlly matter that much

[potent igloo]

idk what extending a script is but you probably mean using stuff from other scripts on roblox which is what modulescripts are for

[peak jolt]

there is no inheritance built in to luau if you want it you need to implement it yourself

[boreal musk]

@frigid flax are you looking for animator ? I’m nxy friend btw

[mossy lynx]

I figured it out, I js thought of it, I could do the disconnect outside of the script because im pretty sure the other stuff was INSIDE the heartbeat but i was disconnecting the script mid heartbeat script so the rest didn't play

i js did this

connection = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt)
        clone.CFrame = clone.CFrame + direction * 21 * dt
    end)
    task.wait(1)
            connection:Disconnect()
        humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
            wait(3)
            cd = false
            if cd == true then

[tall sedge]

I see

[charred pulsar]

cause luau is not an OOP language

[cyan canyon]

Noticed theres no way to represent booleans as bits in Lua so here’s a bit class! You’re welcome guys

type Bit = {
       value: (0 | 1)
}

local bit = {}
bit.__index = bit

function bit.new()
       local self = setmetatable({}, bit)
       self.value = 0
       return self
end

return bit

[snow bramble]

Sorta not code but more physics related

If everything is welded together, do parts with collisions still get calculated individually?

[median flame]

yes

[snow bramble]

Or is the welded object have a combined physical calculation

[snow bramble]

2nd part if I may:

So in that case, instead of a bunch of parts, would making specific collision hitbox meshes be better?

[median flame]

for performance reasons no

but yes it would work

[snow bramble]

What if its a really low poly collision mesh for a complex model, say a vehicle

This is my collision model currently

Maybe I could just union everything or is that even worse

[median flame]

union is even worse

is the mesh not accurate enough?

[quaint thunder]

can someone tell me if the size of my hitbox is good

Has interior

[dense geode]

do we have bitwise ops in lua

[dense geode]

wdym

[dense geode]

to be honest though it depends

did he want pathfinding or what

how optimized did he want it to be

[tall sedge]

Question was already answered. “there is no inheritance built in to luau if you want it you need to implement it yourself”

[dense geode]

oh alright

Use metatables

[deft coral]

he didnrt actually say

thus why i gave a reasonable quote for an actually good pathfinding npc* system

he complained to me cuz someone else random without any merit said "30 bucks" so he just decided thats what a normal price is lol

[dense geode]

I'd charge 125 minimum for a npc system that uses regular humanoids with some simple pathfinding

[deft coral]

yeah literally

[dense geode]

it's gonna be very laggy tho, for 200-250 I'd make a npc system thats like fully optimized with no humanoids at all, just physics and animation managers + full client side syncing and OOP class declarations for each npc for futureproofing

it really depends but 30 bucks is crazy

[haughty trail]

xd

imagine using oop

[charred pulsar]

OOP is amazing, it's just that luau only has OOP patterns

[haughty trail]

oop and amazing in one sentence

[native sail]

w data tabel lol

[remote bear]

depends. It says default_data does that mean there are similar tables? or is this the only one

[native sail]

I Never Said That i got bug?

DEFAULT_DATA means we have to not change things under it.

It is the default value which should not be changed

[remote bear]

i was talking about the format

[native sail]

ok

[balmy sorrel]

@warm bloom is your projectile code framerate dependant?

[warm bloom]

no, i was able to utilize delta time to make sure it didnt end up like that

[balmy sorrel]

Something similar to this?

local function UpdateActiveCasts(dt)
    timeDelta += os.clock() - lastStepTime
    lastStepTime = os.clock()

    while timeDelta >= frameRate do
        for _, cast in casts do
            StepCast(cast, frameRate)
        end
        timeDelta -= frameRate
    end
end

[warm bloom]

yep

[balmy sorrel]

nice have you tried adding projectile tumbling?

[warm bloom]

thats a good idea ngl

[balmy sorrel]

I recommend using Random.new() so you can replicate cast on the server and other clients

[warm bloom]

wdym by that

[balmy sorrel]

Normally when a projectile tumbles, it rotates pretty unpredictably. So it's reasonable to just randomize the drag coefficient as well as adding some randomness to the velocity. However using math.random doesn't really allow for a result that can be replicated perfectly since math.random's seed is the unix time it was called at. That being said, using Random.new() allows you to set the seed and get the same exact results every single time. So that's you can use it to replicate trajectories.

I've used it for projectile trajectory validation and it works pretty well

The only issue is moving parts

my workaround for it was using a secondary recursive cast to detect if the cast did pass through players. From there you can determine how much power to lose and store that any way you want

[warm bloom]

ah, i like that

thank you

[deft coral]

math.random takes a seed

if u have the collision snapshot time u can get the same result on all machines

though i wont discourage the newer Random library at all, it is better, just math.random does have a seed parameter

[balmy sorrel]

are you talking about math.randomseed or something else?

[deft coral]

yes

[balmy sorrel]

oh

[deft coral]

math.randomseed sets the seed for math.random

[balmy sorrel]

yeah it does, but Random.new sets a seed for a specific random object (no clue what to call it)

[deft coral]

it is called a Random object yes

[balmy sorrel]

oh ok

[deft coral]

and yeah again im not discouraging Random you should def just use it

[balmy sorrel]

nah ofc I get what you're saying

[deft coral]

i was just clarifyting cuz i say you say math.random uses unix time as the seed and thats not always true yea

u get it

[balmy sorrel]

I shouldn't have said you can't set the seed because you can

it just modifies it for your own run context

[stiff saddle]

who pinged me

[stiff saddle]

???

[tardy pasture]

why u ping me ?

[stiff saddle]

because u did

[tardy pasture]

i didnt ?

[stiff saddle]

where did i pinged

i never pinged u

[stiff saddle]

ah i forgot to upd my portfolio it is old

let me show some nwe ones

[tardy pasture]

and thats clearly not me

[stiff saddle]

see

[tardy pasture]

u did that with photoshop ?

[stiff saddle]

figmaa

[tardy pasture]

oof i was thinking

figma way better for ui

[stiff saddle]

im borke so i don't have photoshop

yes

[lean radish]

how much would yall charge for a semi-complex omni directional mobility gear system from attack on titan?

[tardy pasture]

whats odm ?

Use Krita

Goated tool, completely free

[topaz pulsar]

So i am making a battlegrounds game and im not sure how to sync all the animations. Because i've tried starting it local and then sending it to server, but this is not syncing at all. I've tried also to do a remote event and having then the animation starting local, but this is also not syncing correctly. What is the best way to sync the animation, so like a attack animation and a hit animation...

[deft coral]

Clients should always play their own animations

[topaz pulsar]

so how to sync the animation, so that it looks smooth

[deft coral]

U do that by playing it from clients

[static forum]

Hey guys I am looking for a partner who can help me finish my game currently need to be monetised and some bugs thats all

[noble tartan]

whats sum cool to script that would get accepted for scripter application?

[smoky frost]

Nothing

Requirements are delusional

[noble tartan]

u got denied?

[smoky frost]

Yes

[noble tartan]

what was it that u submitted

[smoky frost]

I explained in media why I got denied 3 times

And what i submitted

[noble tartan]

ah i see

i submitted a combat they told me to kick rocks

https://tenor.com/view/speed-ishowspeed-smh-laughing-laugh-gif-16005642344163940773

[smoky frost]

Yeah

I can code better than like, idk, 99% of this shitty server prob, but "uh u don't have enough LoC"
Roblox is trash either way, so whatever

[noble tartan]

the requirements are ode ngl

[fresh oak]

Mine got declined for not using comments properly

[noble tartan]

😭

i commented on every single line explaining everything, used guard clauses

n all the functions were for the combat like swing, block, critical, etc

which was simple n easy to follow btw

[fresh oak]

Isn't that excessive?? 🥲

[peak jolt]

post the code

[noble tartan]

LOL

bro i was lit takin every precausion

[peak jolt]

you dont need comments for every single line neither in real life nor in your application

[noble tartan]

i was onna mission to get accepted

[lilac gale]

if it’s complaining about code quality and your usage of the roblox api maybe focus on that over commenting

[noble tartan]

code quality was fine

imo lol

[peak jolt]

post it then

[noble tartan]

hollon

[lilac gale]

that’s the first thing they mention

[noble tartan]

ill js post sum current combat code

this was like 6-7 months ago

i never bothered to apply again

[peak jolt]

i mean you are of the opinion that the old code unfairly got denied so im asking for the code you submitted to the application to see for myself

[crimson plank]

are vfx on client too heavy

[noble tartan]

no

[smoky frost]

U want to render them on server or what?

[noble tartan]

https://pastebin.com/tepnHm0i

[crimson plank]

yes

[noble tartan]

i lowkey forgot idk if its this

[crimson plank]

on server vfx r heavy?

[smoky frost]

Tf does this even mean? U render VFX client-side always

[noble tartan]

but the framework was hella similar to that

[crimson plank]

I accidentally said client 😭

[smoky frost]

U can't render them on server tho

In terms of actual rendering

[crimson plank]

hm

[smoky frost]

It gets replicated and drawn on the client

[noble tartan]

ngl now that i see it that code is a lil dookie

but lmk croski

[peak jolt]

i mean i can criticize it but i dont really know what the app readers are looking for

if their only problem was "not enough roblox api" then you just picked a "too boring" script

i can nitpick a bunch of architectural and code problems but those werent listed on the decline reasons

[smoky frost]

Those applications are like HRs reviewing ur CV

Complete idiots reviewing something that they don't understand

[noble tartan]

oof i found the og code i submitted

[fresh oak]

So if u make it too complex for them to understand, u pass???

[noble tartan]

bra i was puttin guard clauses everywhere

-- Guard clauses to check player states, swinging debounce, and if the player has the sword equipped and if the player has a root and character exists
        if not Character or not Root or not Humanoid or Humanoid.Health <= 0 then return end
        if not GlobalData.Equipped then return end
        if GlobalData.SwingDebounce then return end
        if StateManager:GetState(Character, "Stunned") then return end
        if StateManager:GetState(Character,"CombatStun") then return end
        if StateManager:GetState(Character,"Blocking") then return end

[peak jolt]

post it

the whole thing

[noble tartan]

https://pastebin.com/yqAMgUhM

[peak jolt]

dont think so cause at least back in the day some of the luau app readers were competent so your script would just be sitting there until one of those competent ones read it

[noble tartan]

its mostly the exact same js minor changes n guard clauses ode

cus the 2nd time i got denied for a combat they complained abt <200 lines and that i wasnt using guard clauses

what was rlly frying me is that idek how some scripters got the role ive skimmed thru scripter hireable n some ppls stuff literally looks chips 😭

[peak jolt]

you have a thing called statemanager but it doesnt actually manage state its just a value registry

your sword script does the job of "managing" the state

[smoky frost]

Because

[peak jolt]

when they ask for guard clauses that doesnt mean needing to put 20 returns you can still just use "and"

[smoky frost]

People that review don't know shit they are doing

[noble tartan]

ya u right

the statemanager is js to check the state, and change it

[signal crest]

What's this for?

[peak jolt]

you have a lot of repeated code for example all methods need the character, root and humanoid

[noble tartan]

i mean its lit all functions for the combat

[peak jolt]

you have a lot of numbers that arguably can be refactored out into a data source or just global variable

[noble tartan]

can i see some of ur code

if u dont mind

[peak jolt]

all of the functions do this:

            local Character = Player.Character
            local Root,Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart"),Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
            
            -- Block running if the player is in any other sort of combat state
            if not Character or 
```this is just going to error if character is nil on the 2nd line, your "if not character" check is entirely redundant

[fresh oak]

[peak jolt]

in one of your functions you check if "'s Sword" exists but in another you rely on its existence:

Character:FindFirstChild(Character.Name.."'s Sword"):Destroy()
```this may as well never error but you have implicit control flow here that is hard to debug or work on later

[fresh oak]

Create a combat class that gets the char, hrp and him once constructed and then use it on all ur methods

Classes are handy :)

[peak jolt]

you have task.delays that reference the sword and its children after defensive checks, but those defensive checks could fail 0.4 seconds later if you aren't storing the actual instances into the closure

task.delay(.4, function()
    Sword.Handle.Trail.Enabled = false
end)```

[noble tartan]

these functions arent fired if the character doesnt exist

i alr made a check for that

in the server event

[peak jolt]

then none of them should be checking for "if not Character" if you are so sure

wasted lines wasted lookup

[noble tartan]

u cooked me there

https://tenor.com/view/twitter-duck-smoke-smoking-twitter-duck-gif-1365401141084093497

[peak jolt]

if this is required from a server script that already checks for the character all of these methods could just take the character (or Player with a guaranteed .Character field) as a parameter to make it less stateful

same with root and humanoid to save yourself more lines

depending on the lifetime the whole module could take those 3 parameters on creation and then reuse them across function calls

hard-coded WalkSpeed overrides make it very hard later on to add more things that modify the walkspeed

[noble tartan]

u right

btw

what did u submit when u applied

[edgy pike]

I'm not really used to type checking (not in roblox at least)

type Matrix = {
    matrix  : {{number}},
    rowSize : number,
    colSize : number
}

is this the right way to check for arrays of number arrays for the variable matrix

[peak jolt]

if it doesnt verify state transitions on its own then its pointless to refactor it out

[peak jolt]

yes

[edgy pike]

ok felt a bit odd so I wasn't sure

thank you

[peak jolt]

i cant tell you for certain cause its an expired hastebin link

[noble tartan]

ah

[peak jolt]

based on the date and amount of comments i believe it was this, do consider this was more than 3 years ago

[noble tartan]

bet ima read it later i got off pc so i can’t even see

[stiff saddle]

'-[

[native sail]

should i script this type of system for my portfolio??
i'd also make it open source

[somber vault]

That is a UI

[native sail]

I am saying show I make a bank system

A mobile type bank system mainly

[somber vault]

If you think that's the level you're at sure

[native sail]

Yes Obv it's my level

[somber vault]

I'm asking because a 'bank system' would just mean making transactions and logging them

[deep oyster]

Scripting the system itself won't be hard.

[floral zenith]

Guys, I have no ideas for what to make in scripting. How can I get ideas so they never run out?

[lavish dragon]

guys i need help

letme show you my video
