[modern wind]

as someone who wants to start learning how to become a roblox dev. where do i start? is lua the only language i need to learn? please someone advise me.

[willow bobcat]

print("Game loading...")
while true do
  local partToLoad = Instance.new("Part")
  partToLoad.Parent = workspace
end
print("Game loaded!")

[willow bobcat]

lua is the simplest language to learn how to code

so you should start on it

look for a few videos that teach how to code in lua so you get the basics

[modern wind]

should i start there? someone recommended i start in python first

[willow bobcat]

yes python is good but lua is very visual in readability

you can see how the keywords explain the code a lot

[chilly canyon]

just start with C#

[modern wind]

whats the reason for this?

[chilly canyon]

Unity

[fallow remnant]

Guys help me I'm new

[modern wind]

what for? how does it help with roblox dev?

[fallow remnant]

What apps should I use for modeling

[modern wind]

blender

[fallow remnant]

That's hard

Something easy

[modern wind]

blender is the easiest one...

you can try maya and etc but gl w that bruh 😭

[fallow remnant]

No hard

[modern wind]

everything is hard in life you just gotta choose your hard

[fallow remnant]

Kk

[compact spoke]

Blockbench might be more user friendly

If you're afraid of blender

[willow bobcat]

c# is harder to learn as a beginner

i honestly think the best way is literally doing python tutorials of data analysis

makes you understand coding quickly

[compact spoke]

If you know java you will have lovely time

[willow bobcat]

yes

lovely

[analog basin]

for ur indents how do yall have arrowss? and spaces has those dots

kk

[undone warren]

That will crash the game as the while true do loop runs continuously without stop and withour delay. The "Game loaded!" Will also not print since the while loop is obstructing it

[deft coral]

It doesnt

Hes implying to not do roblox dev and instead do unity

[deft coral]

Studio setting

[willow bobcat]

false

the game will load safely and smoothly

[deft coral]

Safely at least

It uses to be unsafe but roblox added protection

[languid dome]

guys how to code

i only know ho to do scratch

[warped frost]

theres no money in unity roblox is where the cash is at

[deft coral]

Ur baiting right

Like thats a joke

[warped frost]

mfs will cry about roblox studio not being a real game engine and to go to unity instead but they make no money in there lmao

[warped frost]

ur dumb if you think u can make more money from unity than roblox

[deft coral]

Among us was made with unity

Genshin impact

Rust

Fall guys

Sunautica

City skylines

[warped frost]

top roblox games make more money a month than among us a year

[deft coral]

Subnautica*

[warped frost]

btw

[deft coral]

they dont sorry to tell you

Like genuinely they dont idk whos fed you this pipe dream

[warped frost]

cope LOL

[deft coral]

I used to make salary off of roblox homie

[warped frost]

you didnt make much if you think top roblox games dont make more than wtv unity devs make 💀

[deft coral]

Ima leave the bait or possibly demon-core level braincell decay alone, l8er

[warped frost]

bros the one ragebaiting

bros fr believes steal a brainrot which at its peak was making 12 million a month was less profitable than among us that made 24 million a year during 2022 💀

[warped frost]

“ai overview”

[deft coral]

Google it and read it yourself then

[warped frost]

LOOL

bro showed jail break

[deft coral]

Yes thats a front page game

[warped frost]

jail break aint a front page game btw

[deft coral]

3 million usd for the whole year

Okay lets pick one

[warped frost]

steal a brainrot

[deft coral]

What can beat 105 million

[warped frost]

grow a garden

[deft coral]

Kk lets see 1 dec

[warped frost]

steal a brainrot has made 700 million

[supple spindle]

i have made more

[deft coral]

You're not using that figure correctly

They paid 700 million to the top 12,000 developers

[supple spindle]

yes i was the top 1 with 701 million

[deft coral]

Lmao

[supple spindle]

the rest are just the other goofs

[deft coral]

@warped frost

[warped frost]

roblox said its tripled that in 2025 lmao

[deft coral]

Mind you also a lot of numbers are inflated if it isnt coming from roblox as a company, devs say they make a ton all the time, while games in unity are verifiable because of accounting laws

[warped frost]

steal a brainrot was generating 11 million every month alone

[supple spindle]

yes obviously because of my attendance

but thanks for mentioning

[deft coral]

Based on a reddit post btw

[warped frost]

and the reddit post was based on the developers

[deft coral]

Also theres the whole issue that mid-tier devs in Unity make a living, doing that in roblox is very difficult

[supple spindle]

b.. b.. but chat gpt also use reddit as source.. ☝️

[deft coral]

You can land a triple A job in Unity and be in high demand

Roblox is harder

[supple spindle]

maybe because roblox deadass takes about 92% of the actual earnings and even more when u sell UGC

[deft coral]

And im a roblox dev that again made salary, like 5k a month just to code for a few hours a week

[deft coral]

This is exactly why, and they unfortunately have to

They're not even profitable currently

[supple spindle]

no they dont have to and thats the problem

[warped frost]

yeah if you know how to advertise and know how to set up servers for multiplayer games and pay for your own infrastructure go ahead and use unity and make cents

[supple spindle]

hmmmm why could that be?

lets take a look at mister david his statements

[deft coral]

Well its because they're tryna reinvest

[supple spindle]

"we would like to see educational gambling for children"

[deft coral]

They havent ever made a profit except once a few years ago

[rotund heath]

What is happening

[deft coral]

Ik hr angry but you and i both know the pattern of not making a profit existed years before david made embarrassing remarks

[deft coral]

He didnt say that btw

[supple spindle]

but you know how profit works?

[supple spindle]

oh buddy...

[warped frost]

you’re never going to make any profit from your unity game btw cope

[deft coral]

He said an algorithm that could detect who'd win dress to impress like a chess engine was a cool idea and if it didn't bait kids or involve money it'd be a cool game to see it be used

Like run the logic im both a roblox dev and im arguing for and against roblox, im not davidmaxxing

He just deadass didnt say that

[supple spindle]

thats not a cool idea and we all know that this was all there for one reason

[warped frost]

thats because you’re just not a very talented roblox dev lmao

[deft coral]

Nothing was there

Like what are u on abt

[supple spindle]

yes the statement was there

[warped frost]

not our fault you cant make profit from such an easy platform to milk

[deft coral]

Someone just asked abt it and he said that'd be his limit for gambling as hes against gambling

[deft coral]

I made profit what

Lol

[warped frost]

how much have you dev exed

[supple spindle]

95% of roblox games involve gambling what you mean hes against that 😭

[deft coral]

Tens of thousands atp, i literally worked salary 5k a month

[warped frost]

and how much have you made from unity

[deft coral]

And now im making my own game still on roblox

I dont dev in unity dummy, i was just telling you that the statement unity makes no money is false, a basic google shows it

Like u got defensive over a very basic correction lol

[warped frost]

bro proved his own point

[supple spindle]

@deft coralhow about the part when he wanted to introduce official dating inside roblox 😭

[deft coral]

yes..?

[warped frost]

he’s made thousands from roblox and wont even touch unity cause its such an ass way to make money

[deft coral]

I would hope i proved my own point?

Lol

[warped frost]

i never said u cant make a profit from unity i said that roblox is a lot better for making money

[deft coral]

I have 2 games planned in unity

I wanna finish my roblox one first

[supple spindle]

its better marketed, nothing else

make a scam game = u profit

easy as that

[warped frost]

free servers

[deft coral]

Unity has free servers

[warped frost]

if u make a militplayer game in unity you pay for servers

[supple spindle]

unity isnt just used that much

[deft coral]

Steam servers and also local hosted games (see lethal company)

[supple spindle]

since its not a game library as far as im aware off

[warped frost]

LOL

bro said steam servers

[supple spindle]

roblox is an engine and a game library in one which makes it so powerfull

[deft coral]

Genshin impact, rust, among us,

[deft coral]

Yes they're free

[supple spindle]

yes but i mean in terms of a game library

[deft coral]

You can use their Api, has matchmaking, they do server hosting

[rotund heath]

Yes, but Roblox is broken right now.

[supple spindle]

you dont go on your unity app and search for games to play

[deft coral]

If you were an indie dev and not 16 and had made any games you'd know

But ur not

[deft coral]

Unity isnt a platform so idk what game library means here admittedly

[warped frost]

brotato those aren’t actual servers you still have to host them or have players host them

[supple spindle]

yeah exactly, thats why roblox is easier in that term because roblox is an engine and library in one whereas unity in this case is just an engine

[warped frost]

exactly

your game is immediately hosted and the servers are completely free

[primal heart]

has anyone here ever made predictive block placement for like a bedwars block placing system

[warped frost]

if u wanna make real money you wouldnt waste your time on unity lmao

roblox is where the cow is at

[supple spindle]

unity is a good engine and can absolutely make a living there

[deft coral]

Mm true i did misspeak, but they do offer the network solution

[supple spindle]

but unity is only good for experienced people

wheras roblox studio can be used by quite literally any 12 year old with access to chat gpt

[deft coral]

Yeah but u missed the part where zux deadass said theres no money in unity and got angered by the simple response of "there is" lol

[deft coral]

Gpt/claude is better at c# than it is luau

[warped frost]

if ur really experienced but if you’re that experienced js go to roblox and make even more money lol

[supple spindle]

there defenitly is, but its not gonna be the ordinary slop you would create on roblox lmao

[supple spindle]

thats where the problem is sir

[warped frost]

if you dgaf about money and want a game for your own legacy then yeah unity is the best choice

but if you have a brain just milk roblox easy money

[deft coral]

Do u think all indie games that blow up and get millions of dollars appear out of thin air

[warped frost]

indie games dont make millions of dollars brotato

[deft coral]

They're manifested

[supple spindle]

in roblox you dont get paid by experience, your work doesnt matter as long as it generates money

it doesnt matter if ur game took 5 years to make if it doesnt include gambling, bright colors, ultra high toned sound effects, etc etc

[deft coral]

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Among Us

Lethal Company

Undertale

All made millions of dollars

The list goes on

[warped frost]

bro is calling big ass games indie games

[supple spindle]

they started as indie games

thats his point

obv they aint no indie games then

[deft coral]

Thats not even started they literally are

Undertale was made by 2 people lol

[warped frost]

none of those games started as indie games LOL

[deft coral]

Lethal company had 1 developer

[warped frost]

yeah and a funding of 50k usd

[supple spindle]

oh yeah js looked it up lmao

[deft coral]

From who

[supple spindle]

Undertale is a 2015 role-playing video game created by American indie developer Toby Fox.

clearly says indie there tho

[deft coral]

I say 2 cuz he had an artist shes just not credited as intensely

Fnaf is an indie game

Indie just means independent, aka you funded it yourself

[warped frost]

and none of those games come close to what a 10k ccu game on roblox makes a week btw

[deft coral]

Well technically its based on distribution

[warped frost]

and most certainly not among us LOL

[deft coral]

You get around a few thousand dollars a week on 3k CCU, doesnt come close to 26 million (undertale)

In one year btw

Like if ur gonna be stupid and argue extremes at least be right

[supple spindle]

yeah you get around 2-4k in a month with 3k CCU and an alright monetization

its possible to bring it up like crazy tho like bladeball did, constantly add gambling and all kinds of stuff

[warped frost]

undetale not making that much a week lmao

[deft coral]

Yeah i mean roblox has a way to make money, the stupidity is claiming indie games on steam dont make comparable profit

And we're ignoring the whole yk "games on roblox actually suck and are rather artistically terrible" piece of the argument

[deft coral]

Divide 26 million by 52 weeks

[warped frost]

the difference is for a dev to get profitable on steam its a lot more work and years of dedication than for one to get profitable on roblox

[deft coral]

Its not

[warped frost]

thats not how it works dumbass maybe in their prime

[supple spindle]

we js ignore the reddit source

[deft coral]

To get profitable on roblox requires actually rather comparable training

Its not hars

[supple spindle]

"social estimates" its a reddit source but whatever 😭

[warped frost]

bro

you get so many resources for free

you get free infrastructure

[deft coral]

You do yes

[real hemlock]

ROBLOX and Steam are equally the same to make profit, you just need to know game design

[warped frost]

advertisement is so much cheaper

[supple spindle]

nope

[deft coral]

Unity is also a game engine that has resources

[warped frost]

and monetizing is the easiest part

[real hemlock]

Why no?

[warped frost]

and roblox theows in free money for premium users lmao

[supple spindle]

steam is quality games and roblox is mostly slop

its like a completely different approach

[warped frost]

not even close btw

[real hemlock]

Hmm, interesting, I see steam quality of games on ROBLOX. Half off the time roblox is shit due to using roblox characters.

and not utilising the whole engine and custom physics (to an extent)

then again, roblox is more appealing to kids who dont have high end devices sometimes

[supple spindle]

the characters? i thought it would be the extreme bright colors, the overly high pitched sounds, the simplification, gambling literally everywhere, quick gameplay, brainrot

but might just be me

[deft coral]

Drop ur games @warped frost

[real hemlock]

You can consider that yes, but what stops you from making a game which does not do all that?

I think you are not grasping my point here,

[supple spindle]

the roblox algorithm simply doesnt support that

they dont care about really good looking games that took years to make

[real hemlock]

You CAN hypothetically make equal games on roblox and steam, in my personal, and by extension by professional view.

[supple spindle]

ai generated slop makes far more profits

[deft coral]

The issue with roblox is just it unfortunately favors engagement bait yea. You can do more but the tone and audience favors social games and not story games, and stories and refined core loops are what actually what drives indie development

[warped frost]

no my games are under alt accounts im not publicly showing any i own like 10

[deft coral]

So u dont know

[supple spindle]

😭VRO

[real hemlock]

Okay, but a sizable chunk of ROBLOX profits would come from actually well made games, not slop.

[deft coral]

Got it

[warped frost]

know what

[deft coral]

He just exposed himself as being full of it

[real hemlock]

Not dismissing slop takes a hefty proportion, however.

[deft coral]

Hes a larper

Lol

[supple spindle]

nope, not by any chance, slop takes by far WAY more

[warped frost]

LOL

i swear on ALLAH

[real hemlock]

Not dismissing slop takes a hefty proportion, however.

[deft coral]

Larper

[warped frost]

that i’m not lying

😭

[deft coral]

Ur a larper

[real hemlock]

But I am sure other games make decent amounts for themselves and roblox.

[warped frost]

how about you drop your games infinitey

[deft coral]

Sizeable chunk ill agree on that

[warped frost]

exactly ignore my message like a good girl

[deft coral]

My latest two are literally in my portfolio link

Several thousand ccu

[warped frost]

drop the name

[real hemlock]

Also roblox gives free servers and to my understanding steam does not in all cases?

[supple spindle]

guys im bavid daszucki and i own around 327,3 games right now and i make an estimate of around 30456 quadrillion billion gazillion zimbabese dollars

[deft coral]

Read my portfolio larper

[real hemlock]

if you made 100 places with 1 player in each, there will still be servers for them

[supple spindle]

can u name me a big game thats made with quality?

[warped frost]

exactly lmao you just know nobosy is clicking on that shit

bro cant send a name

[supple spindle]

yes but roblox most likely just combines these to save tons of resources

[real hemlock]

subjective,

[supple spindle]

yes i know, i mean i told you what my views on quality are so maybe you can name me an example

[deft coral]

Larper

You cant recover im sorry i can literally just dismiss everything with that you're a larper now

[warped frost]

keep saying that i’m still making 10k a week

[deft coral]

Larper

[real hemlock]

Adopt me/uplift, brookheaven rp,

[supple spindle]

10k zimbabwese dollars

[real hemlock]

id argue that isnt 'slop'

and still hits the charts

pretty well

[deft coral]

Kinda slop unfortunately, just well made

[supple spindle]

thats true but its simplified quite alot

[warped frost]

continue working on your unity games you never making a cent outta them

[real hemlock]

Yes but they are kids games.

[warped frost]

Slop to me is predatory not if it's literally just bad

[deft coral]

Larper

[real hemlock]

piggy

isnt slop imo

[warped frost]

broke boy

[deft coral]

Larp

Er

Larper

No games larper

Do you even know lua larper boy

Whats a metatable

[supple spindle]

just because its a kid game doesnt really mean it should be the way it is, because i, probably you and your parents very possibly aswell enjoyed the games we had back then aswell, even if it was something like halo 3 or tetris or mariokart. it wasnt completely simplified and didnt follow a protocol on how to make it the most addictive as possible and we still enjoyed it

i was hooked on minecraft for example, not these tiny brain ticklers everywhere and i still enjoyed every single bit of it when i was younger

[deft coral]

Its rlly just

If the game is based on a number going on and solely that factor, its slop

Thats the main thing here honestly

Cuz its evidence of dopamining

[supple spindle]

good way to describe it honestly 😂

[warped frost]

its luau btw and yes along python js/ts and go

[deft coral]

Larper

[warped frost]

broke boy

[deft coral]

"Its luau btw 🤓"

Whats a metatable

Go on

[warped frost]

a metatable is used for adding methods to a table which is basically only used to fabricate oop

bro fr thinks metatables are some elite shit only top roblox developers know about 🫩

[deft coral]

Larper

[warped frost]

broke boy

[deft coral]

I mean i couldve thrown an actual one but ngl itd be unfair to even most devs here

Gotta keep the ragebait reasonable

[faint garnet]

what would better

[warped frost]

brother what

[faint garnet]

like a unique combat client that is cloned into the humanoid for each character in a battlegrounds or just a bunch of arguments to handle the dif skills and anims

[deft coral]

Just random trivia, like .siz

Theres a funny iceberg chart meme lemme try to find it

[faint garnet]

wai what

[deft coral]

Found it

[faint garnet]

can u answerr my question tho

[deft coral]

Oh mb didnt realize u were asking ine

[deft coral]

Confused exactly what you mean

[faint garnet]

so basically

a combat client that plays the animation and creates a dif hitbox depending on ur style

same with skill 1 2 3 and 4

or just a unique 1 thats cloned when u pick ur char

instead of a bunch of arguments

[chilly canyon]

phew im at the 2nd

[deft coral]

Impressive

[supple spindle]

how is startergear under physics assemblies 😭

[deft coral]

Shared dependencies and logic with modules in rep storage and unique handler scripts for each type

[warped frost]

skidberg

[deft coral]

I believe its because startergear is-

[deft coral]

Its bait

[deft coral]

StarterGear not StarterPack

"Whats a metatable. Go on" 🤓

Proceeds to say
"I mean i couldve thrown an actual one but ngl itd be unfair to even most devs here"

🤓 🧢

[deft coral]

Yeah i was baiting him, and its not a flex i just mean per the image i sent theres a bunch of trivial bs u can ask sm to skid on them

[calm field]

..

🧢 "i was baiting him" — trust

[deft coral]

Read the convo, i called him larper like 509 times cuz he was trashing on me for not making money on roblox (i do) and when i asked for what games he made he said he had 10 just he cant show me cuz hes on an alt lool

Bro pulled the gf at another school trick

[jade saffron]

is there a script where u change change the entire games material services to any texture u want? cuz material service is utter bullshit, it isnt changing it for everything

[calm field]

Why were you arguing abt money anyway..

[deft coral]

Well u cant rlly bake a texture like that during runtime indont believe

[calm field]

Au revoir chat

[jade saffron]

i only need to change the color map option

[deft coral]

He said unity games dont make money. As if indie games like undertale didnt exist

It was seriously like negative IQ conversation

[deft coral]

Not just undertale but u get it

[jade saffron]

is there a script or no

[deft coral]

Theres no singular script for that i know of, no. Thats not how coding rlly works

If u want some code ask chatgpt deadass

[smoky frost]

why do skids think metatables even worth using 😭

[smoky frost]

Lmao

[regal salmon]

or just use the channel for its intended purpose and send your problem here

[vernal yarrow]

aye compare the total number of unity games to the number that make money tho 🤔

[modest axle]

Fraudulent One What did you make to apply for the scripter role i wanna make something rq but i don't know what

[civic drift]

Yeah, but you can apply this to all engines.

[flat haven]

hey guys

i want to start coding lua but i dont know where to start,any suggestions?

[tight venture]

Learn lua

Then learn luau

[tight venture]

Brawldev is good for luau

[chilly canyon]

Nope

I'm good

[modern salmon]

Hi! I need to build a portfolio what should I make that is good for portfolio?

[tight venture]

A combat system

[modern seal]

airplane physics was fun :3

shows tht uu can script w physics too

[proud gate]

missing ="thing" in the command bar

and probably the camel case property names cant tell if thats in there

like workspace.currentCamera is valid

[vernal yarrow]

I can't remember it was long ago

[warped frost]

why would you not js learn it from the start brotato its not that of a complicated language you gotta take steps to learn it

[small surge]

everyone wants a combat system haha

but ive tried some and I want to know do you have any tips for making one?

most of the combat systems ive made havent been top page game and I suspect that its most likely because they use so much of the client

I believe they probably use a complex and really strict client hitbox system

[warped frost]

nope all client hitbox systems are trash and unreliable

[small surge]

you got any idea on how they achieve that level of smoothness?

[desert sedge]

my weapon framework p100

i wanna make a yt vid but i cant tho

i need to spoof my old anims i need to make a place with all my frameworks combined i need to pick a song i need to make real time edits and blehhhhhhh

[sly plover]

So I tried using a module script for vfx by going from local script (OnClientEvent) which then requires a module script for the vfx handling. Why doesnt this work?

[sly plover]

thats why you make certin sanity checks on the server

you are not supposed to rely on the client at all

[warped frost]

the animations and the way it’s engineered is what makes it feel smooth there will always be latency no matter how hard you try to work around it it’ll always feel bad for someone if you want to learn more about hit detection i recommend you check ink games combat system

if you want to improve the hit detection itself i recommend using raycasts or spacial queries but as for network latency there isn’t much you can control you can look into buffers but this won’t make a big difference most games use server sided hit detection unless its for extremely fast projectiles or fast cast which can be clientsided

[desert sedge]

context of modulescript?

is it in sss

[sly plover]

vfx creation and management

[desert sedge]

no where is it placed

[sly plover]

nope replicated storage

its all client based

cuz its vfx

[warped frost]

thats very different from what we are talking about hit detection on the client is unreliable regardless of anything

[desert sedge]

ur module returns smth callable, yes?

[sly plover]

yes

[desert sedge]

ok

[sly plover]

it uses function module.Function()

[desert sedge]

then if ur onclientevent runs

[sly plover]

but it doesnt which is odd

[desert sedge]

before localscript has req modulescript

u will get a nil reference and kablam

[sly plover]

like are you allowed to require a client module script if its in a onclientevent function

[desert sedge]

require it at top of localscript to make sure

[desert sedge]

yes

[sly plover]

btw the onclientevent is fired via FireAllClients

but it only shows for me

[radiant pine]

Guys can anyone help with my 2D movement system?

[sly plover]

and not other clients

[desert sedge]

yeah no u need

[small surge]

if you dont mind, how do you check big games different systems? I just go in and try fidgeting around with what I want to find out

[desert sedge]

a replicated system or smth

[desert sedge]

use an exploit

[sly plover]

boyyy

[desert sedge]

buy wave or make alt account and use shitty exploit that can decompile

[sly plover]

in theory why shouldnt this work

like why cant all clients see it even though its done via fireallclients

[desert sedge]

decompile the game and see logic in clientscripts and assume what they're doing on svside based on ingame behavior u can observe

[warped frost]

best way is to just use an executor on an alt nothing bad about this if you just want to learn

[desert sedge]

u have a system that

replays it?

or do u only fire once and dont check if others are loaded in fully?

ur vfx prob spawns locally too

[small surge]

ive thought about using a executor but I cant find one that doesnt look sketchy

[warped frost]

a lot of them have script decompilers but you need to learn about up values and what not its more like reverse engineering

[sly plover]

for now it doesnt sync with players who load in

[desert sedge]

if ur module does instance.new()

locally

its not replicated to all

and timing issues and whole lot of other fuckery

[sly plover]

yeah, its something to do with the actual module scripts

[warped frost]

you can use xeno ive used it before its pretty fine for this type of stuff just make sure you’re on an alt its free and keyless as well

[sly plover]

idk what it is, maybe its just not supported

[small surge]

alr

[desert sedge]

if ur willing to pay

use Wave, get a day pass, all ud need

make a list of games ud want to scope out

[sly plover]

@desert sedge would you like to see the code snippet

[desert sedge]

sure

[sly plover]

local remotes = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes
local StandRemote = remotes.StandRemotes
local SummonRemote = StandRemote.Summon

local StandSummonVisual = StandRemote.StandSummonReplicator

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isTyping)
    
    if isTyping then
    end
    
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
        SummonRemote:FireServer()
    end
end)

StandSummonVisual.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(status, standVal)
    
    local visualHandler = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Replication.Standard.StandSummon)
    visualHandler.Toggle(status, standVal)
end)```

[desert sedge]

Standsummon doesnt reference any server only objects yes?

[sly plover]

Uh no

its all client based here

remote events or modules

modules are all in replicated

[warped frost]

u dont got a return on if isTyping

[small surge]

back again lol but do you know any videos or open source material insteaddd sorry lol

[warped frost]

for what

[small surge]

oh wait nvm its all good

[sly plover]

ig but that isnt the issue

[warped frost]

then whats the error

[sly plover]

there's no error. Its failing to replicate to all clients and only replicates to the single user even though its fired from the server using :FireAllClients()

[digital abyss]

Is there a way of making a team without showing it in the leaderstats?

With just arrays is enough tho?

[warped frost]

add a print on the line above where u require visualHandler and see if it shows for all clients

[sly plover]

wait I may see a bit of an issue

@warped frost

so I think it kinda replicates

but I dont think I actually added like a validity tester

so it seems to summon the stand for the player who joined late even though you summoned it

let me add it via the require part

so it knows which character to attach to

[zenith cloak]

Nearly finished any thoughts?

[digital abyss]

Very peak-

I think i saw ur progress yesterday and u fixed all the stuff alr

[zenith cloak]

@digital abyss thx mate

[brisk fjord]

really cool, but i feel like the sphere of light part is too long

[zenith cloak]

Yeah I'm making it smaller rn and also adding some impact frames prob

[royal pebble]

why does every llm i know assume that a function inside a table is automatically oop and requires a self object 💔

only using this for a config file

[mighty bolt]

So guys

Whats the best thing to mesen, scripting, building, moduling etc

Where you u find the place to learn this

And how long would it taken

[faint garnet]

so 1 local script with a bunch of modules for handling dif styles

[civic drift]

A module that contains the logic for each style.

Have your main combat local script require the module for the style you need.

[sour yew]

is this a high quality dev? https://zephyria-portfolio.carrd.co/

[brisk fjord]

So something concerning is that they said they have 1 year and a half of experience but scrolling down a little you see that they spend 1 year being a lead developer on a minigame game so most of their experience comes from 1 game? But so far none of those games shows any complicated stuff but some Youtube videos show pretty good stuff. My recommendation is that you ask them for code snippets

But since your question is if that is a high quality dev then by definition nothing of their stuff shows that they are

[stiff saddle]

peakkkkkkk

[hasty cobalt]

do u guys know if theres a specific name for "vfx" but on uis like this

just checking if theres a opensource module that can speed up the process before i make my own but idk what to look for

[brisk fjord]

i think i saw some dude who made one on RoVFX

but it was a long time ago

[hasty cobalt]

ill take a look

[brisk fjord]

but its not that difficult to make tbh

[hasty cobalt]

anyway ty

[willow bobcat]

yes there is a module for ui particle emitting

but im not sure it handles 3d cases like yours like the effect going around the player

particle emitters display all the instance properties so simply making a module that translates those properties to movement and rotational values can be done easily

keeping it not killing your pc with many particles is hard tho so idk about that

[timid anvil]

yo

if I do Model.WaitForChild("Part") and it's in a model in the model, will it still find the part?

[brisk isle]

nah WaitForChild only checks direct children not descendants, use FindFirstChild with the second argument true or FindFirstDescendant if you need it to search deeper

Sry for late response

it's ok

[echo fable]

Brothers I'm half way through c++ dsa . I wanna understand how luau code from a game and understand their working . got any tips

[topaz crypt]

What physics issues?

[topaz crypt]

U cant buy them im studio im pretty sure

[static coral]

you can use custom “physics” by creating your own network ownership system, so client will get control over a certain part after sanity checks and if whatever criteria is met, then they can update position of grabbed item constantly with unreliable remote (the item would then be anchored)

[topaz crypt]

Only dev products

[nocturne solstice]

let's say i make a death screen & i already have the ui & stuff made & it's all done & scripted, how would i go about adding a cause of death to the deathscreen?

[jaunty wolf]

anyone got advice on how to make this lightning ability better?

[jaunty wolf]

whatever kills you must manually set your cause of death. Most games have a central damage controller, like all damage in the game is sent to the same place so you can easily trac kstuff like this

like instead of dealing humanoid.health dmg, send an event to a script that does it for u. This way u can also send damage type, attacker, etc etc

u can ask chatgpt, its not too ahrd to do.

[static coral]

100+ kb sent??

[jaunty wolf]

this is from moving through the map i think, any fast movement in my game causes this

is that not normal did i mess something up

maybe i did actually wait

[static coral]

ohhhh u got streaming enabled?

[jaunty wolf]

yeaaa

[static coral]

yeah its that

[jaunty wolf]

is it from that? is that bad?

[static coral]

idk why tf rendering is server side

[static coral]

i think so

[static coral]

i mean streaming

not rendering

[jaunty wolf]

how can i fix it?

[static coral]

i mean u can disable streaming but then everything will be loaded in at once

wait nah i think im tweaking

thats sent

streaming should be received

right

do u fire remotes a lot while doing the movement

[nocturne solstice]

is there any way to make an outline of the player visible through ui elements?? this is what i have so far & it not working

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local function onCharacterAdded(character)
    local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

    humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
        local highlight = Instance.new("Highlight")
        highlight.FillColor = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
        highlight.FillTransparency = 0.5
        highlight.OutlineTransparency = 1
        highlight.DepthMode = Enum.HighlightDepthMode.AlwaysOnTop
        highlight.Parent = character
    end)
end

if player.Character then
    onCharacterAdded(player.Character)
end

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)

[warm iron]

anyone got some free time for a passion project?

[static coral]

nah i just checked u cant

other than making the ui slightly transparent ofc

[brazen anvil]

There is not

[jaunty wolf]

is it possible this might be normal streamingenabled + fast character behavior?

[static coral]

im not sure because ur Sent is high, i would think that streaming uses Recv

[static coral]

are u firing a lot of remotes tho

from client

[jaunty wolf]

i dont think so

i should test like randomized level with streamingenabled and super fast walkspeed

[static coral]

try testing it without streaming then check Sent

overall it shouldnt be too much of a problem tho, i think streaming would have optimizations

[tranquil spindle]

how do i put custom animation in my game?

custom walk animation

all the yt tutorials dont work

[cerulean void]

where do i find ppl to help with code

[nimble pier]

I wonder

[cerulean void]

well no one needs help in code help channel

they yapping

[proud idol]

you need to upload an aniamtion key sequence to boblox

boblox throws u an id

usign a script u load the animation with given id using the animator of the humanoid (assuming ur using a typical boblox rig) which returns an animation track u can use to play

considerations rig has to be unanchored as roblox uses physics to run animations

[simple epoch]

yeah ik how to do that

im talking abt custom walking aniatmions

[stiff saddle]

Yep — DevComputerMovementMode is PC-only, so it won’t stop mobile or console

instead use ContextActionService

CAS

`local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer

-- this function just eats the input so the player can't move
local function disableMovement()
return Enum.ContextActionResult.Sink
end

-- block all movement inputs
ContextActionService:BindAction(
"StopPlayerMovement",
disableMovement,
false,
Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterForward,
Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterBackward,
Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterLeft,
Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterRight,
Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterJump
)
`

@digital abyss maybe you can understand here ;-;

if you want movement back

use this line : ContextActionService:UnbindAction("StopPlayerMovement")

[drifting hull]

hey can anybody give me their input on something? So basically i'm making a hot potato game of sorts, and i'm wondering if I should keep the touch connection to pass the potato on the server, or make it on the client so it feels good and instant for the player. Obviously if I did it on the client there would be checks and whatnot.

would it even be worth doing? would it make much of a difference?

[compact echo]

the most thing i do is getting the effects from my past works and change in the setting to make it like what i want

[chilly canyon]

[indigo whale]

by "touch connection" you mean .Touched? .Touched doesnt work all times on the client, its very risky from what i already tested some times 😭

[drifting hull]

Yeah, I did mean .Touched, but I’ve never encountered it not working on client

For me it’s just that .Touched on the server would have a delay since it’s based on server position

Also you could touch someone on your client and it not count at all

[indigo whale]

On my experience, there was once that I used .Touched (but it's been a long time) and it didn't work sometimes

On client I mean

[drifting hull]

I’m thinking about shooter games how there would be some threshold of how far the touch position can be for it to actually count

Because imagine a fps with server based shooting

[drifting hull]

Interesting

Worst case scenario I would use my own touching method, I just want input on whether I should handle it on client or server

[indigo whale]

I don't think shooting games use.Touched for hitbox, but yes ray casting which is different than getting the .touched event

Like, a ray is shot, and Incase that Ray finds something specific, it does something specific, that's how I guess bullets work

On those kinds of games

[drifting hull]

Just an analogy

[hybrid oar]

is this ok to add to portfolio as simple inventory+collectionsystem ?

[indigo whale]

What's your own .touched method?

[deft coral]

if the part is network owned on the server then the server has to register the touched and send it to the client which has latency

thus why touchtransmitters are instances (which is kinda dumb but it made sense about 10 years ago)

[indigo whale]

Then what actually happens if we use .touched on the client?

As the server is the one who holds the physics and collision replications, when we put an event that requires collision (. Touched) on the client, what happens?

[distant hamlet]

recursive types are so annoying

[deft coral]

I just said what happens

But ill explain again

When you create a .Touched connection, the engine creates an instance called a TouchTransmitter (previously TouchInterest)

this goes under the part in question

If the client creates the .Touched connection to a server-owned part, this isn't replicated, so it won't really work. (edited: it will work clientside just delayed and potentially unreliable due to physics streaming distance)

[deft coral]

Actually lemme make sure abt this detail rq before I continue, as they may have changed that behavior

The logic is the same though, it revolves around the TouchTransmitter instance

The side with the network ownership is the one who actually registers .Touched and has to send it to the other side's .Touched callback

Thats the main takeaway but lemme make sure abt the .Touched creating instances for non-owned parts as I dont think it does

[deft coral]

Example, if a part is owned by the server and the client and server both have .Touched, the server registers both, fires its own first and then the client's (which is after due to latency) via the TouchTransmitter, resulting in a delayed event call

Ah okay yeah, if a client creates a TouchTransmitter, just its clientsided. A server creates it for both client and server.

If the player is the owner of the part and both have .Touched, then the server is the one that's delayed because the client has to send the event through the transmitter

mb if im overexplaining

[indigo whale]

Keep going for god's sake 😭

[stiff saddle]

yo what is going onm

[indigo whale]

Ok so, what I want to know in a simple way:

What makes the .Touched event get laggy when we create it on a local script? How does touch Transmitters work when they're on the client? A touch Transmitter works in what way when the .touched event fires?

[stiff saddle]

stop pls 😭 my mind is blowinggggg up

[deft coral]

.Touched is laggy when it is used on the VM that does not have network ownership

If the client owns the part, then the server will be laggy

If the server owns the part, then the client will be laggy

This is because the "owner" is who is calculating the physics for the part, which means it knows with the highest accuracy where the part is at a given time.

That means it similarly should replicate .Touched events

The receiver, aka the non-owner of the part, isn't actually doing any calculations, its just getting a message through the networking code in the TouchTransmitter

[drifting hull]

Okay, so just to clarify if a touch transmitter is made on the client, the network ownership doesn’t matter, it will still instantly register touches?

[deft coral]

They have internal logic that overrides when :SetNetworkOwner() occurs I believe

[drifting hull]

🫩

I lowkey just want to register the touch. I don’t care about the ownership

But a custom one would be very easy

[deft coral]

The ownership determines who's actually calculating the physics to know when a touch happens

Its done this way because its actually the most efficient

And most accurate

[drifting hull]

Yeah, I get it now

Because the network owner simulates the physics

So there are no physics simulations being run on your client

Or are there?

[indigo whale]

Networking does seem complicated as hell on the beginning 😭

When you said that the non owner caused lag on the other VM, I first thought it is because, from what I'm understanding, the networke owner simulates the physics

But since when does clients run physics? Doesn't physics only get replicated to clients by the server replicating it to them?

That would explain why physics kinds break when you're laggy

Not all of them, because some things stay on the replicated part of client

[deft coral]

Well

It does kinda complicate

[deft coral]

There areee but not on that part

[indigo whale]

For example, parts that had CanCollide on will still have CanCollide on when the client starts lagging

[deft coral]

Lets say we do .Touched on the client to the server part

[indigo whale]

I never studied networks

[deft coral]

And another server part touches it

We dont get it fired

Like we dont know

But if we touch it with a part from our own assembly, aka like our character

[indigo whale]

Can you tell me of how useful it is to study it? What can I get for my stuff from learning networks?

[deft coral]

it does fire

[indigo whale]

It doesn't seem like a boring subject tho

[deft coral]

The only way we get a .Touched on a server part touching a server part is if the server has .touched connected

Which then causes the TouchTransmitter to replicate with authority to us and we can get signals

[deft coral]

Its not lag its latency, there is a small difference

Clients in roblox use an ownership model. That means you own your client and you send updates to the server

The server then tells everyone else what you did

This has issues which is why people made BetterReplication and Chronos libs

[indigo whale]

That would explain why when you change your humanoid.WalkSpeed to anything, it actually gets replicated to the server.

So clients do have some authority, which I don't know if is good or not

[drifting hull]

I looked into it. As long as you have network ownership of a part, your touches are reliable

[deft coral]

The reason why is because our physics is deducing that part got touched given we touched it, if that makes sense btw @drifting hull

Like we deduced it despite not calculating the physics for that part

If I calc my leg physics I can tell if I touched a server brick cuz thats what i do every frame, but i dont do that for server blocks touching each other cuz the server does that

So touched will fire if I touch it but not if they touch each other

[indigo whale]

Like, it's really bad if you can just change your speed on the client and the server will obey it, hackers can easily abuse this and this is undectatable by the server unless you make a whole thing to detect if the player moved more than the server expect players to move

[deft coral]

It was serviceable about 10 years ago

When games were funny little building games

And phyiscs didnt work at all, in fact the fun factor was how they didnt work

[drifting hull]

I mean, that’s a very easy catch though

Just check the change in distance based on WalkSpeed

[deft coral]

as landen said, tehres actually not really a huge issue security wise, you can code your own anti-cheat by just detecting cheating speeds

[drifting hull]

If it’s too high, you have a TPer or someone with higher WalkSpeed

[deft coral]

The main issue is latency, specifically with client-on-client collisions, and also rollback

[drifting hull]

I am very familiar with client to server interaction

[deft coral]

There's a new feature in beta rn though thats basically just uprooting the entire physics engine's networking

Moving away from pure ownership

[drifting hull]

Oh boy

[deft coral]

lemme grab the forum

[drifting hull]

Will that break a bunch of games?

[deft coral]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/projects/server-authority

[deft coral]

You enroll into it like any of the other stuff

[indigo whale]

But exploiters change Walkspeed on client side

Do the test:change the Walkspeed of your humanoid on the client

Then go to the server and check your humanoid Walkspeed on the server, it's still normal

That's why I guess the way to prevent this is:make a way for the server to detect if a distance a player moved is weird or not

[drifting hull]

Yeah, but eventually it will rollout into a full release surely

[deft coral]

See your misunderstanding is that you check the walkspeed on the server

You don't, that property isn't replicated

You check their literal speed

[drifting hull]

Yeah

[deft coral]

And compare it to the expected speed

[drifting hull]

You check the magnitude of your distance

[deft coral]

Im sure but that is the cost of progress

[drifting hull]

Yeah, I just am curious how bad it will be

[indigo whale]

Now it makes sense, that's what I meant when I was saying that this would be a good way to prevent this kinda of exploiting from Happening

[drifting hull]

You use the fact that the WalkSpeed variable hasn’t been replicated

[deft coral]

Well being real its like a networking model that only competitive games utilize, meaning its outclassing most of roblox's games

I doubt actually now th8inking they'll make it mandatory

thinking*

[deft coral]

Ya

[deft coral]

Outclassing but also not necessary

Its tryharding the netcoding

[opaque violet]

making it mandatory would be the stupidest thing ever

[topaz crypt]

Damn this is nice ngl ig you can make character physics even more responsive now in certain systems

[languid crypt]

I tried that, but jumping makes it detect it as exceeding speed-limit

And can't check if humanoid is currently jumping or whatever

Ended up just overriding player's speed in a loop

[celest summit]

the thing with that is with roblox’s buggy engine there will be times when people fling out the map by jumping wrong

[digital abyss]

it seemed funny

[cunning knot]

send me dm

[digital abyss]

btw i found on devforum is better to use unpack(Enum.PlayerActions:GetEnumItems()) to pack all the player inputs instead of typing them

[stiff saddle]

;-;

[slim junco]

Yo

@cunning knot

Do you know how to create a device icon?

I'm trying but I can't.

I know WaitForChild is generally considered safe, but what are the typical cases where you should avoid using it?

[rancid jacinth]

inside of areas that you don't want yielding

which you should just use FFC

[drifting quest]

question you see the circle how did you code it

i wnat to see if i have the same idea of how you coded it

[regal salmon]

big text was unnecessary ngl

it's above attributes in the properties tab of whatever object youre looking to apply a tag to

[regal salmon]

WaitForChild will force the script to stop completely until said child is found, so if you don't want that happening, then use FindFirstChild and a nil check instead

[compact echo]

its effect inside the attachment
runservice for the position of the part to the mouse pos with raycast

[compact echo]

i coded it in 3H so it's the easiest skill i advice u to make something harder

[jovial coral]

any tips for beginner scripting?

[graceful wagon]

how can i emulate a private server in studio?

[regal salmon]

i don't think it's possible

you'd just have to use RunService:IsStudio() or something in your private server check

[stiff saddle]

The main issue was on line 78 - you had elseif but there was no if before it. Changed it to just if and it should work now.

@limber pawn

[floral crown]

looks cool whats it for?

[hot wraith]

yoo it's for stats UI, it's a radar chart

[floral crown]

i like the transitions

[woeful mural]

why wont my player's jump height be increased?

[digital abyss]

remove the == 0 at the end of local jump

it will always be equal to 0 like that

[woeful mural]

turns red when i do that

i added a "=" sign cuz the red mark went away when I did that

[floral crown]

i feel that is a strange way to set humanoid jump power regardless 🤣

[woeful mural]

whats the correct way

[floral crown]

just set it

[digital abyss]

humanoid.JumpPower = 100 for example

[floral crown]

humanoid.JumpPower = 0

[woeful mural]

im tryna figure it out myself but documentation shows me I have to get alot of diff things for it lol

[woeful mural]

alr ill see what ahppens

[floral crown]

documentation definitely gives weird examples

[woeful mural]

whenevr I press my F button my char doesnt jump any higher

and game doesnt give errors for sum reason

[floral crown]

if you want the character to jump higher, you then set it to 100

[digital abyss]

Ure just increasing the jumppower not making it jump i mean

if u want him to jump with F u need to add -> Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)

[digital abyss]

Thats really cool

[woeful mural]

okay so I did that and it accidentally made a double jump but wtv

the secondary jump is very small tho

and I have the jumpstrength set to a crazy high number so idk

[floral crown]

what did you actually want it to do?

[floral crown]

double jump or single jump?

[woeful mural]

idrc if it double jumps or single jumps

I was jst tryna increase player jump height

for like a whie

[floral crown]

while the player is holding F?

[woeful mural]

yea

actualyl

[floral crown]

i had a feeling

[woeful mural]

no

[floral crown]

okay

[woeful mural]

I wanted it that if u press f

for 10 sec

u hvae increased jump

like a chill buff abiltiy

[floral crown]

okay sure

in roblox theres a function called task.delay

you can use that to in the future (in seconds) delay something

you can put a function inside that task delay

for 10 seconds

[woeful mural]

this right

[floral crown]

yep

[woeful mural]

oh wait this uses run service

i havent learned that yet but now would be a good time ig

[floral crown]

the heartbeat part of this (for now) is mostly irrelevant

[woeful mural]

alr bet

[floral crown]

just know a heartbeat is every step of the roblox engine

[woeful mural]

every frame basically?

[floral crown]

yep

ill write up a basic of the task delay

task.delay(5, function()

humanoid.JumpPower = 0

end)

this will reset the jumppower to 0 after 5 seconds because 5 is specified and an anonymous function is inside the task delay

@woeful mural

[woeful mural]

oh ok

[woeful mural]

okay so if i make a variable for 0 and my wanted jumpower stat

and place them within here i can make it work?

[floral crown]

absolutely, that can be done by making the humanoid jumppower equal to the variable

like this

humanoid.JumpPower = variable

[woeful mural]

okay im geniunely thinking my small avatar is making the jump power not get set

[digital abyss]

The character scale really affects the humanoid properties

[digital abyss]

I misunderstood ive think u wanted like to jump after pressed F

[floral crown]

lmaoooo what

[woeful mural]

oh its alr

[chilly whale]

a

[woeful mural]

bru still not increasing my jump height

[latent wasp]

That's because you're setting jumpheight on the client. You need to send a remote event to the server (and have a server script recieve it) and set it to 100 there

[woeful mural]

oh

[hot wraith]

Thanks u !

[hot wraith]

Ty, it's a law of Hooik for the transitions

[slim junco]

What?

[hot wraith]

Neon RUN 2

[woeful mural]

how do I get the player parameter on the server?

[digital abyss]

OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)

whenever u fireserver, the first parameter will always be the player

[wraith niche]

guys are there any websites or smth to learn how to script,program or code?

[digital abyss]

u dont need to send it tho

its automatic

[digital abyss]

ive asked gpt a learning curve about concepts and then u search up on youtube abt them or ask here if u still have questions

[wraith niche]

what are you programer coder scripter builder?

[digital abyss]

Im scripter

[wraith niche]

for how long

[digital abyss]

1 year

[wraith niche]

wait can we dm private

[digital abyss]

ive started on python

[woeful mural]

ok bet

bro why am I getting this eror

when i lit alr initialized all the char humanoid player bs

[lean ocean]

literally doesnt matter

it replicates

[lean ocean]

why is there a playeradded event

[edgy pike]

I usually code in neovim especially for my job. I went back on normal studio bc was to lazy to setup the rojo server. It's so painful to code

[lean ocean]

you already have the player

[woeful mural]

only way to get plr in server script

[lean ocean]

clearly not

[woeful mural]

@lean ocean yo

I removed the extra plr but i get the same error regardless

[lean ocean]

bro remove the player added 😭

the player parameter in onserverevent is the player that fired the remote event

[woeful mural]

this isnt in a local script

[lean ocean]

the playeradded player parameter is the player that joined the game

[lean ocean]

yea i know

[latent wasp]

No it doesn’t?

I thought humanoids only replicate position and stuff that the server can’t manage

[woeful mural]

oh

mb that was so simple

[lean ocean]

try changing ur jumppower and ull see
