and then remove 1 end)

[woeful mural]

alr

[dry hamlet]

anyone wanna make a cashgrab?

[silver verge]

relearn remote events

https://create.roblox.com/docs/en-us/scripting/events/remote

[woeful mural]

alr so lowk my brain fried ill try again in a hr 😂

[silver verge]

😵‍💫

[dry hamlet]

i'll teach you

[latent wasp]

Ah my bad you’re right client can change jump power

[woeful mural]

you'll teach me remote events?

[dry hamlet]

ye sure

[woeful mural]

i learned the events and functions like mayb 8 months ago so i lowk forgot

how to use em

[nimble pier]

uncle thats cuz i also join dc calls via ps5 sometimes

[grim jacinth]

yo, can someoen help me, how do i fix that if i shoot rays from the current camera of the local player then the ray originates from inside the character and then even if i exclude the plr.char inside the raycast params it still get returend in the result? do i fix this by moving the ray outside the head or? idk

[dim marsh]

i need someone to help me code im new but ima try building maps and if you have other people that can help that would be great ill tell you game concept when you add DM me

[dusky relic]

okay..?

[slow drift]

code helpian is typing

[dusky relic]

Why did you download WSL just to run VSC?

[dusky relic]

omg, I'm tired as shit

[slow drift]

why would i do that

[dusky relic]

Yes, why would you

[slow drift]

im not doing that

did you ask that to stir up and argument or...

[dusky relic]

You're running WSL, which is then running VSC which is located on your windows storage and editing a file on your windows storage?

[slow drift]

yes

[dusky relic]

Why?

[slow drift]

because im coding a compiled programming language

its easier in linux

[dusky relic]

Which language?

[slow drift]

which language what

[dusky relic]

Are you making your own compiler + language or are you just coding in a compiled language? Both cases my question is valid, which language are you using?

[slow drift]

im making my own compiler for my own language

[dusky relic]

Yes, in what language is your compiler going to be written in?

[slow drift]

rust

then im gonna probably turn it into a bootstrap

(self hosting language)

[dusky relic]

Everything has been explained, no further questions needed

[calm swan]

is there a way to stop the hitching on npcs with pathfinding?

[ocean aurora]

i have a game like tankgame where players can upgrade their character and become a new character, however some characters dont move normally and they slide around the map, why is this?

[sour rock]

code

[ember anvil]

Make sure the characters aren't anchored

[ocean aurora]

they arent anchored

[ember anvil]

What about the hrp, is it there ?

[ocean aurora]

hrp?

[ember anvil]

it might be deleted or missing or smth

[ember anvil]

Humanoid root part

[ocean aurora]

yes its there

[ember anvil]

Are you using custom movement scripts/systems ?

@ocean aurora

There might be some physics forces such as linearVelocity or bodyvelocity are still applied

or something similar

[ocean aurora]

nope

just starterplayer

[inner aurora]

is putting an if statement per frame optimisation heavy?

[lean ocean]

no

[strong kraken]

is there really a performance gain by replacing the tools laid on the ground that are in workspace by models and rereplacing them once more when the player take it . If that makes sense

[ember anvil]

I mean if you're gonna pay.. there's a chance to find someone

[strong kraken]

no theres no performance gain since there arent a lot of tools

[strong kraken]

ok thanks

[faint garnet]

ive set up a state manager but im still confused on how to use it

can anyone help

[floral crown]

you’ve set it up? or did gpt

[faint garnet]

watched a tutorial and followed along

i get how to use it somewhat

but idk how to use it for a combat system

cuz rn i have booleans to handle all the states and i wanna know how to use my newly made state manager instead

[floral crown]

well a state manager’s use is to allow people to go from state to state (running to punching etc)

i dont know what yours looks like but as long as you remember what it is for then you’ll apply it correctly

[faint garnet]

i have like a set state

and i know how to set it

but how do i use like

if statements so

if u are stunned then u cant m1

or if ur punching

u cant run

[floral crown]

youre describing to me how to use it

so its not that you don’t understand, do you not know the syntax?

[flat viper]

Anyone free right now to help me test my game

[faint garnet]

yeah

[floral crown]

okay, if you want to use if statements to stop a person from m1ing you need to make it so a person cannot m1 without being allowed

so that means youre checking stun state

again, i don’t know how your code handles stun but it should go along the lines of while in stun state you get an attribute that doesn’t let you m1

thats a standard game example

[faint garnet]

wait so if its like that

then what do i do

like plr.attributes or smth

[floral crown]

roblox has attributes you can put on things, using :setattribute() will set an attribute for an instance, and it will be whatever attribute you want to put

i cant link the documentation but go to the documentation for getattribute by googling it

[faint garnet]

wait could i send u my current logic cuz

this one doesnt use attributes

[floral crown]

okay sure go ahead

SOIMEONE HELP WHY IS RELOADSTART NIL

[worn ridge]

How much does a story game cost to make

[sonic sable]

i mean it really depends what sort of style you're going for

is it horror or cartoony

also any scripter wanna help me make a game together because chatgpt starts crying whenever I give it a prompt 😭 🙏

[magic grail]

Guys in my game when u reset or die ur headless is gone and u have the regular face why is that ?

[grim jacinth]

because you are setting reloadStart inside a task spawn which runs async and then you are using reloadStart after task spawn, which runs immediately resulting in it being undefined

[grim jacinth]

also i think you are overusing task.spawn here which could lead to more problems further on, you are also running while loops inside which makes the situation even worse

[compact spoke]

i dont see why you would need to spawn functions here at all honestly

why would you spawn anonymous functions inside of the attemptreload function instead of just spawning attempt reload

feel me

[vernal ibex]

does anyone know how I could make a map generation system like deadly delivery? ive searched on forums and youtube but i cant find anything thats much like their system

[iron kraken]

ddddddddeeee

[grim jacinth]

yeah, i agree i mean in this code you don't need or shouldn't spawn any tasks at all

[rose timber]

I love it when I spend 3 hours reinforcing every single corner of 3 different modules trying to fix a bug, and it turns out it was something incredibly stupid and obvious and would have taken 3 seconds to fix had I had more than 2 braincells

[faint garnet]

can u help me with the syntax for my state manager

i used a guide but it didnt explain how to actually implement it

[indigo whale]

That happens when you get crazy over a bug and think it's super complicated when actually it's not 😭

[grim jacinth]

Im not sure exactly what you mean, but you can send me a dm and I'll try to help you

[rose timber]

I was adding a bunch of gates and logic stuff all over 3 diff modules guaranteeing that the bug couldn't possibly happen and it was just a script deleting too early ;-;

i got so desparate i asked chatgpt and it didn't know either

[sand osprey]

who got a state machine i can use that isnt unnecessarily complicated i dont feel like coding my own

[rose timber]

i just use the roblox zombie ai one

pretty straightforward

[indigo whale]

The best thing u can do when you get a bug is to try to stay calm, spread prints everywhere + review code 😭

[sand osprey]

drooling zombie model right?

[rose timber]

too bad all the prints in the world won't fix my stupid 😔

[rose timber]

yep

[indigo whale]

Just try not to get desperate when finding bugs bro 😔

[sonic plover]

Guys I am new and want to be a scripter can someone recomend me where to start

I already have a good amount of experience in python but want to transfer my skills into roblox scriptng. Any suggestions?

[rose timber]

1. Watch devking's videos and gnomecode's videos, alvinblox is ok too but he takes a lil longer
2. Copy other scripts, study them, and modify them for your own stuff
3. Just try making your own stuff and have fun with it

[sonic plover]

Is brawldev good?

[brave cairn]

please keep all hiring or commission work in the marketplace #marketplace-info not channels ty

[broken grove]

if you already know python then it shouldnt be too hard

although variables are different (defined locally with a keyword, global by default)

and newlines/indentation are not as much of language syntax

just figure out the fundementals/syntax and it should be pretty simple

[sonic plover]

When do you think I should start for commisions

what level should I be at

[haughty trail]

dumb question

[eager yew]

is it possible to get depth of field blur to work below graphics 8

[sonic plover]

?

[fading ermine]

u should be able to code pretty much anything

[cold falcon]

Guys I’m learning and improving my animating and improving my vfx but I also wanna learn scripting what’s the best way to learn scripting

[simple nebula]

stop skidding

using that one guy's tutortial

tutorial*

[hollow summit]

dont use chatgpt problem solved

[sonic sable]

I tried im too dumb to learn scripting

[hollow summit]

use ai to learn and just grind

[snow mauve]

Is there a way to change the keybind of the default Shiftlock to Control?

[mighty spire]

what should i learn in scripting to be able to make a horror game i js started this week

[sonic sable]

I’ve tried I can’t get it down I’ve watched tutorials I’ve done everything I can’t

[hollow summit]

wdym you cant

[sonic sable]

I’ve tried bro for like months

I’ve watched tutorials

Like from Alvin blox tap water so many YouTubers

But im stuck and lost and just can’t

[sonic sable]

something you’re passionate about

[mighty spire]

wym

[hollow summit]

watching tutorials isnt really going to magically make you learn

you need to do projects, fuck around and find out 😭

[mighty spire]

don't fuck around and find out

👿

[mighty spire]

i mean like what do most horror games have that i'll needa learn

[sonic sable]

I tried bro I went in toolbox looked and shit tried replicating and fucking about

And I hit dead ends

[sonic sable]

idk most of it is lowk visual

Like jumpscares

Pathfinding ai

[hollow summit]

😭

[sonic sable]

yeah man somethings just aren’t meant for someone

[mighty spire]

i js look at code try to understand it n then write it out

it's hard for me to actually make it work tho

[sonic sable]

Hope it works out for you and you don’t end up like me who failed at scripting 🤧✌️

[lean ocean]

lol that's what I thought too you just have the wrong mindset

a few years ago

[sonic sable]

I meant I ended up learning building it was more like fun

But what did you do differently that I can learn from and how did it work out in the end?

[lean ocean]

literally at the start I watched tutorials and I was annoyed cause I couldn't script anything without copying and over time I just tried over and over again took a few breaks and then I started scripting random stuff and that's how I got better, if I didn't understand something I searched it up for example script errors I searched up frequently

[sonic sable]

Sounds similar to my experience somewhat, how long have you been scripting for?

[lean ocean]

Like 3 years I'd say

probably like 4 but that 1 year I took alot of breaks

but 3 years consistently

[sonic sable]

Dang that’s a lot

Have you made any games or projects?

[lean ocean]

lol only 1/2 of my games have been successful

I wouldn't even consider it successful but I reached 110 ccu and made like 180k robux

but keep in mind most of my time on roblox studio was spent making random stuff that i thought was fun to make

[sonic sable]

that’s still really impressive

[pliant galleon]

looking for a job

[cerulean perch]

Good stats?

[sly plover]

so im trying to make like a game loop so once players all die, it will start a new round. Would task.wait(1) be dangerous for the server as its consuming memory even while a game is in place?

[stiff saddle]

No, task.wait(1) is not dangerous

[sly plover]

but it would be a bad idearight

there's gotta be better alternatives

to loop the game

[main sorrel]

how is it bad

[sly plover]

cuz its using up memory

for no reason

[glad gazelle]

guys

i think i have a problem with my script

[neat pewter]

is anyone hiring or looking for scripter?

[barren quest]

Anyone know how to make hiring post?

[regal salmon]

#marketplace-info

[stiff saddle]

what problem

[frosty sorrel]

My friends, give me a position like the one in the picture.

GunConfig.DefaultOffsets = { BackWeldOffset = CFrame.new(-0.3, 0.4, -0.6) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-45), math.rad(0), math.rad(45)), HandWeldOffset = CFrame.new(0, -1, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0) }

[chilly canyon]

Yup

[stoic stone]

iinstead math.rad -45 just make -math.pi/2

and instead of math rad 0 just say 0

its same bruh

[finite compass]

is this code correct? im beginner
local variable = true;
local variable2 = if variable then "its true" else "false"

[stoic stone]

-math.pi /2 , 0, math.pi / 2

[stoic stone]

le bron

[covert locust]

do i use Modules to manage upgrades in my game or can i just use one script? im new to coding

[elder shore]

Guys i dont understand tweening, everytime i try to learn it, i ragequit bro

[cosmic hornet]

Basically tweening is like gradually changing a property of an instance

Use tweenservice:Create() to create one

And it takes in 3 arguments

Instance- What you are trying to tween
Tweeninfo- Info on the tween, you have to use tweeninfo.new(), the only thing this requires is the time of the tween, but you can add the easing style and easing direction along with other things(optional)
PropertyTable-Basically a table with the properties you want to change and the value of the properties you want to tween(For example {Transparency = 1})

Also have you tried checking the documentation

[quick talon]

new to coding too and wondering on how to get the 1st person parkour camera to be so smooth like tobinateds parkour cam, what sort of things do they do for that

[cosmic hornet]

You mean first person or?

[quick talon]

yeah

their first person parkour camera

[cosmic hornet]

So like you want it the camera to be first person?

[quick talon]

like i have a first person camera for parkour already but its not smooth like tobinateds for example

[cosmic hornet]

Wdym not smooth?

[quick talon]

i mean the animation movements doesnt flow into the camera as easily if that makes sense

[cosmic hornet]

So like player animations are weird?

[quick talon]

kinda, for example if im doing a body roll animation as the character hits the ground, the camera wont turn with the head, or if my character is side walling, the camera doesnt turn with the head (at an angle) idk how to explain it its like the 1st person camera doesnt feel like what the player is doing in that moment

[cosmic hornet]

I think youll have to manually tween and move the camera for that

Also

Im pretty sure it is based on your hrp's direction

[quick talon]

would i need an independent camera aswell to make it similar to tobinated?

[potent igloo]

i think if you
currentcamera.camerasubject = character.head
it should change that

[quick talon]

okok tysm

[flat viper]

This game is fun

[brave meteor]

Is there a game that can manage without oop? Is it more like a preference or is it needed to have an efficient game structure?

[digital abyss]

Why AdjustSpeed(0) works well on humanoid animations but with animationcontroller it js dont work?

[chilly canyon]

because

[wise turtle]

preference

[digital abyss]

Its a parameter from the humanoid i think

it works now

[chilly canyon]

ok

[graceful kayak]

HelloWorld("print")

[cosmic hornet]

CFrame = Vector3.new()

[foggy fiber]

Does anyone know how long it takes for gc or its not known?

[cosmic hornet]

What is gc?

[foggy fiber]

Garbage Collection

?

[cosmic hornet]

Like roblox's garbage collection

[foggy fiber]

yes

[cosmic hornet]

for memory

[foggy fiber]

yes

[cosmic hornet]

No clue

But like theres a whole page of devforum explaining it

yeah

[foggy fiber]

oh

[cerulean void]

the inns and outs of garbage collection specifically in roblox is irrelevant, all you need to know is that data is discarded periodically.
there are exclusions and inclusions - that is what you should be learning about

if someone know a gui maker dm me i wanna learn somethings i can pay for it for robux dm me @grand river

[celest summit]

sent this in code discussion

[grand river]

@celest summit i know but i dont know where i should ask man sorry

[celest summit]

maybe send it in the channel for ui?

#interface

[grand river]

what channel is it

[pseudo maple]

if i change a humanoids walkspeed, how do i make it so that the walkspeed stays after they die

[celest summit]

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
humanoid.WalkSpeed = (walkspeed)
end)

[tidal inlet]

you have to change it every time the character respawns

local lastWalkSpeed = 32
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
  character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = lastWalkSpeed -- new walk speed
end)

[neat pewter]

[brave cairn]

Can't ask in channels - use the marketplace to hire if you're looking for developers

If you are looking to hire a developer, use the marketplace. asking in channels = not allowed

[celest summit]

is bug silently monitoring this channel

[sinful arrow]

I did NOT ask

I said are you a programmer

Ur just deleting chats to delete

[spark ermine]

ive been trying to work on a roblox monster ai system for so long and i cant figure out how to get it to work. im planning on restarting, could i get like a check list for what i need to make it work proprely?

[ruby crest]

Is continue and break essential to understand and manipulate ?

[hasty mesa]

yes

[icy dew]

You should learn them when you learn loops. They’re pretty simple anyway, not much to learn

[ruby crest]

I understand the fact that break stop the loop ig but continues I don't get it even

[icy dew]

Continue can be thought of as skipping to the next iteration in the loop

[ruby crest]

Like if we do :
For i = 1, 10 do
Print("I like coding")

If i == 5 then
Print("skip this ?")
Continue

End
End

Something like that ?

So it work only with 1,2,3,4,6,7,8 and 9 ?

And 10*

[icy dew]

The continue would not effect anything there

If you put the “I like coding” print after the continue (outside the if statement) then it would have an effect (it would not print “I like coding” when i == 5)

[ruby crest]

Ohh

Mb so its under the continue

Statement

[icy dew]

Anything after the continue will not be run until the next iteration

[ruby crest]

Can u do a lil exemple ? If that doesn't bother u

[icy dew]

It’s like cancelling the current iteration, but not the whole loop like a break would

I would but I’m on mobile and typing code while on mobile is not fun

[ruby crest]

So only the if statement if there is a continue if i get it right

[ruby crest]

lol I'am on mobile too its okk

[icy dew]

Just think of continue as the same as break, but instead of breaking the whole loop it just breaks the current iteration

[lucid willow]

For i = 1, 10 do
If i == 5 then
Print("skip this ?")
Continue
End
Print("I like coding")
End

i guess

[ruby crest]

So if i == 5 then it does skip the I like coding 5th one ?

[icy dew]

When i == 5 it does not print I like coding

[ruby crest]

Ohhh I see

So in a loop continue when == x skip it and continue the loop and break stop the loop ? when == x

Did I got it..

[icy dew]

Uhhh yeah

[ruby crest]

Kinda bad explaining

But ty

[icy dew]

Np

[ruby crest]

Are continues and breaks commonly used ?

[icy dew]

I would say so

[ruby crest]

Alr

Tysm for ur time

And help

[icy dew]

Happy to help

[ruby crest]

Btw do you think 17 is late to start idk it just feels like its

[icy dew]

Nah it’s never too late

[flat viper]

anyone free to help me test?

[hearty loom]

Testing what?

[ruby crest]

Ty for that motivation

[flat viper]

my soccer game

[hearty loom]

Uhh

If I can finish my shift fast enough I could test

[flat viper]

thanks!

if its saved with a datastore then setasync their data

I think Roblox also has a datastore manager if you need to do it manually

[umbral heath]

hi, I'm coming back to make some very small roblox games to goof around with my friends
I have made many unfinished projects in roblox so I have experience, the thing is I haven't touched this platform in like 2 years

so quick question, in 2025, is rojo still the best tool for version control with git?

I saw roblox now allows you to access scripts and sync them directly, I also saw something called "azul" in the devforum that apparently makes double sync work properly by using studio as the source of truth, but it seems very recent so I haven't seen many opinions lol

I also don't know if I should use luau or ts, but I think that's a hot debate with no best answer so yeah

[ruby quest]

is it good as a beeginneer that i was able to create an rng system

[umbral heath]

unless you followed a tutorial line by line, or asked an AI to do it for you/followed AI guidance line by line, then the answer is an absolute yes

an rng system is not something complex by any means, but tbh, you should feel proud of everything you code by yourself, because that's progress

[ruby quest]

i didnt follow a tutorial, i had to ask ai one thing thata confused me but other theen that i did it on my own

[umbral heath]

in that case yes, as a beginner it's good that you did it

[ruby quest]

awesome

[umbral heath]

I would dare to say most beginners are trapped in tutorial hell/AI hell by not daring to do things by themselves

so yeah, congrats!

(asking things to AI is fine btw, what I meant above is by telling the AI to do it for you)

[ruby quest]

basically i followed a beginners tutorial by brawl dev few months ago and took notes on it and then i eended up dropping coding and just got back into it

[umbral heath]

in that case you're doing good

the best way (and honestly only way) to learn coding is practice and trying to do stuff

[ruby quest]

yh ive been trying do a lot of bginner stuff and ive been proud of myself whenver something simple works lol

[upper jay]

thats really good, keep it up

[ruby quest]

Thanks!

[iron kraken]

keep it up

[nimble pier]

Is me watching a advanced tutorial playlist being in tutorial hell🤔

[wise turtle]

its being advanced!

[upper jay]

nahh, itll only be falling into tutorial hell if you never do anything after

[nimble pier]

I guess bro😭

[upper jay]

learn, and then apply

[nimble pier]

Im Just planning to watch em then start trying things

[upper jay]

rule of thumb, dont forget the application part

[nimble pier]

I lowkey can only read some code n understand it i cant write for my life

[nimble pier]

Wdjm

[upper jay]

apply what you learn, say you watch a video about remoteevents, you can test yourself by doing a small project using remoteevents

[nimble pier]

Yes but i didnt do that at all till now so i cant write script what should i do

[upper jay]

just keep trying, if you think remoteevents are too hard, you can start off very very simple and move your way up to what your advanced tutorials are teaching you

[umbral heath]

this ^^

tutorial hell is not watching tutorials that's fine

tutorial hell is depending on it to do anything

if you want to do something, but can't because there's not a tutorial for it, you're on tutorial hell

[nimble pier]

But im talking about even simple simple stuff like i can not write any code almost

[nimble pier]

Ah lol i see

[umbral heath]

(example: you watched a tutorial to make guns on roblox, and now you want to do guns that instead of shooting bullets idk, shoot soda cans with funny sound effects etc, but dont know how to because the tutorial didnt cover that)

[upper jay]

okay, then lets try something right now gashdahs, you know how to make a variable?

[nimble pier]

Yes

[umbral heath]

when watching tutorials, I would really recommend you to understand and analyze why each line of code is being written

[upper jay]

i want you to make a variable and equate it to 0, then add it by 5, then print the variable afterwards

[nimble pier]

Ah

[upper jay]

YES THIS

[umbral heath]

also, its very recommended that you dont just sit and watch the tutorial

and instead follow it along and experiment (what happens if I change this line?)

[nimble pier]

Yo i lowkey dont know how to write this its over

[umbral heath]

let's go step by step then

[upper jay]

well mya know how to make a variable right? can you equate it to 0?

[nimble pier]

Like i know u need to do ur variable + variable +1 i Just dont know how or a for loop 1,5

[umbral heath]

first create a variable and make it 0 (that's what downrest meant by equating it to 0)

[upper jay]

ohhh ghahdahsds

[nimble pier]

Yea i think

[upper jay]

you dont need to use loops

at all for this

[nimble pier]

Ah

[upper jay]

its really intuitive when you figure it out

[nimble pier]

Yea ik that much

[umbral heath]

alr, then add 5

[nimble pier]

The thing showed me?

[umbral heath]

you know that much too right?

[nimble pier]

Local n0 = 0
Local n0+n0+1 mayby idk

Or n0 = n0 +1

[umbral heath]

first line is correct (although the l should NOT be capitalized)

the second one is not

[nimble pier]

Its auto im on phone rn

[upper jay]

okay okay, i think itll help if you think about this algebraically

[umbral heath]

here you are getting the idea, but downrest said 5, not 1

the syntax is correct but you are adding 1, not 5

[nimble pier]

Well +5 then

Mb

[umbral heath]

correct!

then, downrest said print its value

how do you do that?

[nimble pier]

Print ("n0")

[umbral heath]

that will print literally "n0"

[nimble pier]

Ah

[umbral heath]

you're close tho

[orchid river]

scripting is to hard

im so dam confused

[upper jay]

remember, surrounding something by quotation marks will make it a string

[upper jay]

honestly you just gotta keep trying, you'll get familiarized with it eventually

[orchid river]

how do yall people lea2rn this

[nimble pier]

Ok sorry but whats a quotering mark my first langeugr aint english

[upper jay]

kinda like uh.. muscle memory?? ghashdsah

[upper jay]

just keep trying :3

[orchid river]

i only no print and variables

im cooked

[umbral heath]

by crying until it finally clicks and you feel like god

[nimble pier]

So how do i print this answer?

[upper jay]

THIS

[orchid river]

better of using ai atp

[umbral heath]

print() will print anything you throw at it whether it is a string or not

[tight roost]

anyone wanna test my movement system for my rpg

[nimble pier]

Dawg if u give up this early

[upper jay]

sure later

[umbral heath]

for example, if you throw it print(5 + 1) it will print 6

[nimble pier]

I see so how do i get it

[umbral heath]

it can also print variables

so:

[orchid river]

ima use ai to help me

[umbral heath]

print(n0)

without quotes

[nimble pier]

I see

Next question if yall dont mind helping me

[umbral heath]

and you basically said (except for my correction on that last line) everything downrest asked you to do

[nimble pier]

I see

[umbral heath]

create a variable and equate it to 0
local n0 = 0
add 5 to it
n0 = n0 + 5
print its value
print(n0)

[upper jay]

honestly for me, you'll find it possibly frustrating for the introduction part, but once you get familiarized with it, itll start to be interesting

[nimble pier]

Yea

[upper jay]

its like a language

once you know your letters and words

you can start thinking about making sentences

[nimble pier]

I understand

[umbral heath]

confidence is important too! except for the print part, you actually knew how to code it!

[upper jay]

thats where the fun begins

[umbral heath]

oh and don't be afraid to make mistakes

[upper jay]

sure sure, but please, dont let it replace u

[umbral heath]

even the best programmers in the world makes stupid mistakes, that's what errors are for, they tell you "hey you messed up"

[upper jay]

rule of thumb, ai should assist not replace

[nimble pier]

Where u able to read code at first to but Just not write it?

[nimble pier]

I see

[upper jay]

i love mistakes gahsdhadsh

well its a love and hate situation

but it can be really fun to debug

[heady spire]

should i use this packet module as a somewhat beginner i understand remotes n stuff and can see this packet thing being pretty useful so should i learn to implement they

[umbral heath]

if you mess up a line, the world won't explode, instead the computer will kindly tell you "this line is wrong because you did this"

[upper jay]

whats ur usecase?

[nimble pier]

Yea i understand it now

Do u want to ask another question more hard?

[stiff dock]

You really dont need packet especially as a beginner you should be avoiding this

[umbral heath]

@upper jay bring it on

[ruby quest]

except for while loops right? i heard if they are used wrong then studio will crash

[heady spire]

like replacing the need to use multiple remote events or a single one with a bunch of parameters and just use packets as the communication

[upper jay]

packets are used for performance-intensive operations where youre probably sending a lot of data from server to client + every single millisecond matters

which remote events are usually too slow for

[umbral heath]

well yeah, but I promise you even the top paid roblox programmers sometimes accidentally create while true that crashes roblox studio

[upper jay]

LOL i do it too

[umbral heath]

it's like learning to play a videogame, you will die very stupidly at the beginning and with practice you will avoid dying

that doesn't mean pro players don't die either

[upper jay]

well youve added your variables, how abouuuuut uhhh, OH if statements

[lean ocean]

Maybe just don't use while loops 🐊

[upper jay]

n0 = 0, now make an if statement where if it is 0, print "its 0", if it is more than 0, print "its not 0"

[heady spire]

surely it's better overall to learn to use that as substitute for all remotes n stuff no cant u use it like as a remote?

[umbral heath]

sometimes that's a cleaner and better code advice, so with that being said, let me ignore it 🔥

[upper jay]

are remoteevents not enough for the performance you want? or are you trying to just futureproof ur code

you can also look into serialization

[nimble pier]

If n0 = 0> then
Print("its bigger")
Else
Print("its smaller")
End

[hasty shore]

hello whats up yall

im trying to make an ironman suit call right, and im having trouble coming up with logic for it

[heady spire]

future proof and i find the syntax for packets n stuff and organising stuff to be a lot neater in examples i seen that use it

[upper jay]

seems like performance will matter to you, i think you should try it then

[heady spire]

Im trying to learn to script in a way where im tryna be as modular and organised as possible i think that's one of the hardest parts of scripting

[hasty shore]

what i plan to do is make a module script for calling the suit, and a client input script and a server script

[umbral heath]

okay good job at catching that you missed end!

with that being said

[nimble pier]

I Just added it mb lol

[heady spire]

Cool ill try it out

[upper jay]

do u know about serialization?

[umbral heath]

1)the requested prints were "its 0" and "its not 0", but that's an easy fix
2)n0 = 0> is not valid
expressions (except ~= which might be the thing I hate the most about lua) are the same as in arithmetic, so think about it that way

[nimble pier]

Aight i understand

Ty

Anything else🤔

[umbral heath]

try to fix it!

[nimble pier]

If n0 => 0 then
Print("its more then 0")
Else
Print("its 0 or less")
End

Or is > before it?

[umbral heath]

remember, there's:
equals ==
not equals ~=
greater than >
less than <
greater or equal than >=
less or equal than <=

[nimble pier]

Aight i understand

[umbral heath]

before it but even then it just bareeeeely wouldn't work

if it's 0

then n0 is more or equal to 0

so it would print "its more than 0"

in all other cases it works as intended though

[nimble pier]

So how would u write it

[umbral heath]

try to do it yourself

I know you can do it

(I learned to encourage students to try to do things on their own rather than giving them the answer when helping on programming courses for my uni hehe)

[nimble pier]

U gave programin course?

Damn

[umbral heath]

helped

[nimble pier]

Ah i see

[umbral heath]

the programming course had some spaces to get help and assistance on the assignments

so I worked helping there!

[upper jay]

leetco- gets shot

[umbral heath]

lmao

[nimble pier]

Mh im lowkey confused how to do it if its 0 then do i leave 0

[upper jay]

i dont think ive ever used a course to learn roblox tho, i thrived in experimentation

[umbral heath]

me neither

I learned roblox lua when I was 11 by reading a book and then experimenting

[upper jay]

i just stare at code i dont understand and try my hardest to decipher it, if i decipher even one line ill be happy and ill probably just continue it the next day

helped a lot for me

[umbral heath]

I'm now 21 but I study CS so yeah lol

the course was for python

[nimble pier]

If n0 < 0 then
Print("its smaller then 0")
Else
Print("its bigger then 0)
End or should i use elseif probably not

[umbral heath]

I even had to take it first semester due to my study program lol

[umbral heath]

nope

here's a clue tho:

[upper jay]

thats super awesome dude

[umbral heath]

your last attempt was only 1 character away from the answer

[upper jay]

im also taking CS for college :3

[nimble pier]

If n0 <= 0 then
Print("its more then 0")
Else
Print("its 0 or less")
End

[upper jay]

well presumably, i have yet to see what ill get from all the colleges i applied to

[deft coral]

i wouldnt do cs atp

but its good to learn, college itself is good and it has no downsides aside from money

[upper jay]

employers just want to see that degree lol

[deft coral]

cs was good about a decade and a half ago when you were ahead of the curve, now the job market is saturated and in unrest

[upper jay]

most dont even listen when you just graduate from Kto12

they want you to go through like what, 4 more years in college?

[umbral heath]

if n0 >= 0 then
  print("its more then 0")
else
  print("its 0 or less")
end```

this is an answer you sent earlier (I corrected the => to >=)

only one character in that answer is wrong

you can do this

its on the first line

[upper jay]

yeah fair point, ive read a bunch and i think the common outcome is cs is for experience, but you'll have to do a lot of the heavy lifting yourself

[nimble pier]

Ah um stupid

[deft coral]

yeah but if you beat their interrogation questions about coding challenges and have a specific cover letter and portfolio pertaining to the thing they wanna hire you for, which is whom you should apply for, then they will listen to you over any run of the mill cs degree

[heady spire]

No clue what that is

[nimble pier]

Aight i understand that now ty

[deft coral]

the cs degree unfortunately isnt quite as respected anymore

[umbral heath]

it's only saturated for juniors with no experience tbh

[upper jay]

thats also true, portfolio matters a lot

[upper jay]

YEAH true

[umbral heath]

from what I've heard, the senior market is as good as ever

[upper jay]

theres a dire need for PROFESSIONALS

[deft coral]

the confusion is that programming is actually more closer to creative design or art than it is actually just a job, so the whole "just get a degree thing and people will consider you" falls apart rapidly

[deft coral]

just people who know what they're doing

[nimble pier]

Next question 🤔

[deft coral]

most cs majors don't in the way senior devs desire (who are now in control cuz of their experience and generational teachings)

[umbral heath]

autism very likely has already saved me from that hell tbh lol, I'm obsessed with Chuck E. Cheese, I got a job there (well, the chilean franchise), proved that I can code very well, and now I have a coding job while I'm still studying 🔥

[upper jay]

awesome work dude :3

[nimble pier]

Nice

[deft coral]

senior devs want people who have good answers to "what are primitives" and algorithmic questions, not people who know how to use react

[deft coral]

peak

[umbral heath]

tbf they want both

[upper jay]

im still in the process of getting into college but ive already gotten myself in a really good position (for a roblox game) where im being paid actual. dollars. its below minimum wage but for a minor like me its super awesome

well soon to be not minor ghasdadhsh

[deft coral]

they do but the quality coding jobs are with the first thing, if you can do that then they have full confidence usually you can do the second just given some time

[umbral heath]

experience is experience

[deft coral]

tools used to be more companyp-specific until largescale git sharing happened

so the idea of training you isnt foreign to them

[umbral heath]

just frame it as game development for a very succesful game in an online platform instead of roblox and it's just as good as any other game development experience

[deft coral]

this is better than a job, cultivate it

roblox is actually super respected in colleges surprisingly

[umbral heath]

then add the fact that you did it as a minor

[deft coral]

like you mention youve made a game on roblox and they actually are like "thats sick"

[umbral heath]

and employers will love it

[candid drum]

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME

[umbral heath]

#code-help

[deft coral]

if only there was some channel called code-help but

[umbral heath]

this channel is for discussion

[candid drum]

if people actually helped but

[upper jay]

@umbral heath @deft coral THATS VERY MOTIVATING THANKS GHASDHASDH

[candid drum]

ive been asking

for 30 mins btw

not one reply

[deft coral]

alright well wsp

ill hold out an olive branch

[nimble pier]

Whats should i do to actualy write code instead of Just understanding it

[icy dew]

Start a project

[umbral heath]

tbh I can relate with that, discord help channels tend to be like that due to the nature of being a chatroom

[deft coral]

come up with a cool idea that actually interests you (most important part) and then code it

[umbral heath]

what do you need

[nimble pier]

What typa project is simple enough

[candid drum]

my dash keeps freezing idk why

[umbral heath]

and keep it simple

don't try to make a complex game idea at first

[deft coral]

KISS best advice in the game legit

as in 'KISS' is the advice

not that im kissing you

[umbral heath]

and in game development, your first few projects honestly are best recommended to be clones of simple games

[nimble pier]

Like a small sword fight game with rounds,

[runic onyx]

if its something that u can see yourself putting effort in for the passion for a couple weeks/months, go for it.

[umbral heath]

exactly!

that was one of my first games actually

back in like 2015

[nimble pier]

I need decent experience for that tho

[nimble pier]

Damn

😭

[umbral heath]

of course no one played it but, I DID learn a lot

[runic onyx]

putting aside whether or not its feasible, is there anything you were looking to eventually make?

[nimble pier]

So in short i should do that after finishing all of thedevkings playlists

[nimble pier]

Yea i got a few decent game ideas

[deft coral]

i would code before finishing stuff

if ur not doing it then ur not internalizing it

you're gonna sit down and stare at the screen

and then open u pthe tutorials again desperately

[umbral heath]

no, do it between videos

[nimble pier]

Yes but i honestly have no clue how to start

[deft coral]

that means u dont know how the engine works

[nimble pier]

Mh

[deft coral]

and also need general programming theory

[nimble pier]

I Just know how to read code mostly

[runic onyx]

if ur gonna watch tutorials, pls code as u do and dont passively watch

[umbral heath]

if you know how to read code but not how to write it, then tbh you don't know how to read code as much as you think

[runic onyx]

some of the devforums community tutorials are really good at explaining things conceptually as u go through em

[nimble pier]

Yea i write down with them but that dodnt stick w me

[umbral heath]

welcome to tutorial hell, everyone has been there at one point

[nimble pier]

Probably

[nimble pier]

😭

[umbral heath]

don't worry you can escape it too and faster than you might think

even if you feel like you will never

(I was there)

you just have to practice and try to do things on your own

[nimble pier]

So what to do what to do

[umbral heath]

google is your best friend, remember that

[nimble pier]

Aight ima make that sword game then

[umbral heath]

if you forget how to do even something like a for loop

google it without feeling shame

we all do that actually

[nimble pier]

Roblox docs thingy right

[umbral heath]

today I had to google how to do a for loop in roblox because it's been a while since I touched lua

[nimble pier]

Damn i see

[umbral heath]

yes but not exclusively

roblox devforum, stackoverflow, etc also help

and google will help you find answers

I promise you

even the best and most professional programmers and coders google the simplest stuff imaginable

[nimble pier]

How long u think itl take to make the game

[umbral heath]

depends severely on the person

no one is equally as fast

regardless of experience tbh

[nimble pier]

On average?

[umbral heath]

again, there's no answer

[nimble pier]

I see

[umbral heath]

take your time and don't overthink it

oh and everyone is slow at the beginning

so don't feel discouraged

[deft coral]

most ppl are slow when they're experienced lol

[nimble pier]

Aight

[umbral heath]

not me (just kidding)

I have to live up to my rainbow dash pfp

[deft coral]

loll

[nimble pier]

I probably wont have as much trouble as a brand New person i can slightly read code (i think atleast)

[tribal mango]

Just vibe code withclaued

[nimble pier]

🤔

[umbral heath]

and here you have an example on what not to do

[nimble pier]

Nah dw

[umbral heath]

trust me tutorial hell is a better position than AI hell

[nimble pier]

I think hes jokin😭

[umbral heath]

im so autistic lmao

[nimble pier]

Eh u never know some ppl actualy serious

Aight ima go sleep il cya

[umbral heath]

good bye, and remember:

have fun coding

that's important too

[nimble pier]

Il try

Cya man

[upper jay]

its another way of saying "compression", where you convert raw data into something of lower bytes (eg buffer.writei8) that makes it easier to be passed on from server to client, then convert it back into usable raw data when received

theres this really really insightful devforum post about it, you can read it if ya want: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/the-bandwith-art-learning-how-to-optimize-and-improve-your-game-network-performance/3865361

[lavish tulip]

local startPart = workspace:FindFirstChild("Start")

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local evilObject = replicatedStorage

local clonedEvil = evilObject:Clone()
clonedEvil.Parent = workspace

if cloned:IsA("Model") then
clonedEvil:PivotTo(startPart.CFrame)
else
clonedEvil.position = startPart.Position
end
why didnt this work

[upper jay]

dont be afraid to use google, honestly if youre really good with your googling game, be proud of that

its your strongest weapon as a programmer

[drifting quest]

yo guys

gimme one of yall roblox names im experimenting

no?

those are my friends ghashd

anyone mind testing this movement system with me rq and giving me some feedback

like all of them are my friends

dawg my alts are so farfetched from my actual account its insane

how does ur script work anyways

uhh save it up? unless u need it

why are you friendwith so much tho

their alot more

to big to esnd

ok some are real but i just fixed that

[hollow hemlock]

serialization is not necessarily the same as compression

[upper jay]

ooo how so?

i assumed conceptually, its compressing data

[hollow hemlock]

while compression in a way can be seen as serialization, serialization is not necessarily compression

[drifting quest]

@hollow hemlock what your roblox name

[upper jay]

i have a lot of friends? g ashdhasd

[upper jay]

none of these are my alts

[drifting quest]

none of them are your alts but they are alts

[hollow hemlock]

to avoid confusion, when serializing you should always think of it as converting the data into another format, while compression is moreso focused on reducing the size of data

[upper jay]

i dont think im friended with my alts at all, probably why lol

[upper jay]

ohh right right, makes sense

[drifting quest]

@hollow hemlock yo whats your roblox name toh

[upper jay]

its just that people seemingly always use serialization in the context of compressing their data before they send it through remote events, but i get what u mean

[hollow hemlock]

its not wrong to call jt that either

[upper jay]

i mean theyre not wrong ig

[upper jay]

how do you figure out how many bytes anything is? like a string, a number, a cframe, etc

is there like, a single universal method i could use

ive read how u could do it through JSONDecode / JSONEncode but is that really the only way

[hollow hemlock]

jsonencode does not reflect how data is sent through remotes

[upper jay]

not even just figuring out the bytes of data itself?

[hollow hemlock]

roblox does not send your data through remotes as json

json is an inefficient format

[upper jay]

im talking about just, figuring out the bytes of something, without the discussion of remotes for now

[hollow hemlock]

yes

its just wrong

JSON is a human readable format and does not reflect the size of data

not necessarily meant to be editable by humans, but alas

[upper jay]

oh they did this

print(game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONEncode(dat):len())

[hollow hemlock]

json is only useful for measuring the size of data for datastores

[upper jay]

ohhh, i think i misunderstood then

"How do I measure how much space a specific value in a datastore is taking up?"

[hollow hemlock]

in that case jsonencoding it is correct

[vestal pumice]

does anyone else look at a string for so long you cant even understand waht the word means

[hollow hemlock]

...though you can probably count the size of data without encoding it into json which is likely faster

[upper jay]

^?

[hollow hemlock]

for datastores, JSONEncode is fine

for everything else, its just knowing

[upper jay]

ah i see

ive read so far that a string character is (usually) 1 byte, a number was like uhh

was it 6 bytes?

8 bytes?

ill read more into it

[chilly canyon]

remember, there's:
equals ==
not equals ~=
greater than >
less than <
greater or equal than >=
less or equal than <=

[lean ocean]

%

[wise turtle]

Theyre TValues, so 16 bytes + overhead depending on the datatype

across a remote is a bit diff iirc numbers are 9 bytes

squash docs have this benchmarked i think

[umbral heath]

sooo I haven't developed in roblox in a long while

what are the best/most recommendable wally packages to check out in 2025 (I'm talking stuff like react-lua and promises)

[pastel scroll]

is the difference between these two purely aesthetic? If so, what are the different styles called? If not, when would one style be preferred?

        -- Implement NPC reset logic here
        print("NPC " .. npc.name .. " is being reset")
    end,
    Reset = function(npc)
        -- Implement NPC reset logic here
        print("NPC " .. npc.name .. " is being reset")
    end,```

[chilly canyon]

do without

its not aesthetic

you only do ["Reset Character"] if you want a space

[indigo whale]

Can someone tell me what is "::" for?

I've tried to search on Google but I wasn't able to find an example that could differ it from ":" on Google

[calm portal]

yo luau is easy

[shut ridge]

The ";:" means type casting. You are. Force the type checker to accept a value

[azure granite]

do i even need pcall if it's done in a seperate thread

and i dont care if it errors because the code below it requires a result anyway

[ember nimbus]

https://luau.org/typecheck#type-casts

[grand bloom]

sick, did you make it?

[lofty mica]

is using chatgpt/claude a crime in the coding area.

[hasty mesa]

not really

[ember anvil]

If you rely on it completely, you will make many mistakes if you use more than one code, but that's not a crime, it will only affect you.

[lofty mica]

oh cool.

[hot mountain]

.

[hot mountain]

Typecheck is a language ?

Thought it was typescript

[ember nimbus]

is this bait

[hot mountain]

No

I wish

[brazen pelican]

type checking is checking if a variable is of specific type

eg if
local x = 10
is an integer, or a string, or something else

and yes, TypeScript is a language

[hot mountain]

The link description is what confused me

[gilded mountain]

would anyone be interested in a roblox port of the Directus SDK? ive created one as i had an immediate use case, i wont go to the trouble of fully porting the entire expansive api (its alot...) if theres not much interest though

You could recalculate the ground position with a raycast and adjust the Y position using the hit point plus a fixed height offset for the model, optionally smoothing it to prevent sudden jumps

where would be a good point to start from when learning front end for scripting your own premade vfx? are there any beginner tutorials i should know abt?

[midnight prairie]

I reccomend brawldev's tutorial.

[midnight prairie]

Swap out your manual Y and just use local smoothPos = pos then i recommend using local direction = (forwardPos - pos).Unit
local right = direction:Cross(Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)).Unit
local up = right:Cross(direction).Unit

then just rework your c frame

or js try smoothPos = smoothPos:Lerp(pos, 0.15) ig

@hireable

[shrewd shore]

Hello bro

[flat viper]

Yeah

[lofty mica]

I mean would people care of it was scripted by ai even though it’s a fun and unique game?

[modern seal]

th players wouldnt care

[midnight prairie]

Scripting by ai never works i tried it before lol

[modern seal]

but yr reputation w/ developer community would b damageddd possibly

[midnight prairie]

and it always throws a million errors

[lofty mica]

Idk I think having good prompts matter other wise there would be a lot of bugs, I tried it myself

[midnight prairie]

just hire a scripter

what ai do you think is the best

[lofty mica]

Yeah ig, but in the future everything’s gonna be ai slop then people will adapt lol

[lofty mica]

Claude for scripting

[midnight prairie]

it costs so much i sometimes use chatgpt to debug

[wild veldt]

What is Claude

[lofty mica]

It’s p2message, in free u have very limited prompts so I use ChatGPT to do the extra work it leaves

[midnight prairie]

icl just learn coding but the use ai to debugg

[regal salmon]

youre genuinely going to end up with more bugs than you started with if you don't learn how to debug yourself 😭

ai can definitely be useful for being pointed in the right direction with tricky bugs, but there are so many more cases where you end up with worse code than before

[midnight prairie]

i know how to debug its just faster

[midnight prairie]

i don't see problem with using ai to debug but i agree it does mess your code up alot

[glacial onyx]

most of the time yea but its helpful if you give a good prompt

but its faster to just debug the code on your own

[grand crag]

claude 4.5 opus is mostly correct and alot faster than humans

n understands what u mean perfectly

[midnight prairie]

not better than a human would bro ais not good to code only debug

[grand crag]

when they put claude 4.5 opus up against anthropic software engineers it beat every single software engineer in every coding task by a long shot @midnight prairie

[orchid river]

what about copilot

[grand crag]

any other ai is buns

[midnight prairie]

doesn't it have a harsh credit system

[grand crag]

yeah but not if you use those websites that the ai owner's put out where you can use the ais unlimited for free because it's for testing

im gatekeeping.

[midnight prairie]

Ai messes up code half the time anyway,

[grand crag]

test claude 4.5 opus

ive been using it for a game and it hasnt fucked up code once

gave me a nice storyline for my game

[midnight prairie]

Just AI slop

[grand crag]

its only ai slop if you code it to be ai slop

if you put ur heart and soul into it and just use ai for coding then is it really ai slop

[golden crown]

nah opus is insane, i've been using it rn to make a fluid simulator system, it's going well, only been fucking up on one part

[grand crag]

yea shits op

do u use lmarena or did u pay for claude

[golden crown]

claude directly, and claude code for non-roblox stuff

[midnight prairie]

Holy skid

[grand crag]

ok

[golden crown]

but it's only really good for making standalone systems, can't use it in my full codebase cause it fucks shit up

[grand crag]

u can use it for a full codebase if you like fully vibe code it but you probably run out of credits by that time

[midnight prairie]

Yup, knowing how to code beats AI always.

[grand crag]

if u have 700 wpm and ur a goated coder ig so

[golden crown]

nah I've used it for full codebase, fed it the entire thing, it still halluceinates some stuff, i'm using the 100usd/month one, it still messes stuff up if you don't guide it step by step. But asking it to make a unrelated module by itself or something like that works 9/10

[grand crag]

bro dont use hte 100 usd a month one

theres this website called lmarena.ai where u can get opus for free

claude uses it for getting feedback and learning from prompts

[golden crown]

how's the token limits on it

[grand crag]

like

i dont think it uses tokens

i think every 30 prompts or something u cant use for 50 mins

but then u can just switch to thinking and use it for 50 minutes

when thinking runs out u can go back to normal

[golden crown]

does it work with claude code

that's mostly how i use claude tbh

[grand crag]

no it only works in web

[golden crown]

rip

[midnight prairie]

Bro stop using AI this is painful to read man 😢

[grand crag]

just saves 100 usd a month tho

[golden crown]

eh pays for itself

[grand crag]

ig

my only issue with lmarena is that it just stops working for a while in a chat

then u have to switch the chat and give it all ur code again and waste like a ton of prompts

[golden crown]

try the 100usd one, honestly feels like there's no opus limit, it's been made so large now. Like i've been working on this fluid system for probs 3 hours now, still haven't hit a limit. Probably my 90th prompt

[grand crag]

i am poor bro

if i ever do get my hands on 100 usd then sure

[golden crown]

just do crypto rugpulls bro

it's easy

[grand crag]

hmm

ok

[midnight prairie]

skid

[grand crag]

bro u use executors idk who ur calling a skid

[midnight prairie]

cus i helped make a script????

[midnight prairie]

all u do is use ai lmao

[latent ember]

what ai

[grand crag]

and ur illiterate wow, just because someone talks about ai doesnt mean they rely oni t

[latent ember]

what ai do u use 🤔

[midnight prairie]

pretty obvious you do

[grand crag]

claude 4.5 opus

imma dip now

[digital abyss]

Does someone have a good moduleloader i wanna compare to the one i made if i can make it better

[nimble pier]

if i read the entire dox should i practise n stuff inbetween or just read ot trough once

[lofty mica]

Something ChatGPTfree.com or something like that yeh? It has multiple ai systems like Claude and stuff too, but idk I just saw on Yt

[nimble pier]

talm bout some putting ur heart in soul in it a baby can use ai to code slop like u

[cosmic hornet]

I only use AI for like game design purposes

[kindred nest]

bet ty

[grand crag]

that shit is ass

[grand crag]

have u ever heard of building, ui design, modelling, animation

[stiff saddle]

Good let's watch this fight together while we are sitting in corner and watching and they fighting in short side characters

[smoky path]

Ehh thats debatable as well since some designs are easily recognisable as ai even if re imagined, also referencing from actual work and then getting out of your comfort zone is a far better long term strategy creativity wise

(Assuming you're not making slop)

[cosmic hornet]

Right now the only things I've used AI for are basic enemies ideas and refining mechanics I already planned

[smoky path]

I personally only use ai to learn something scripting related that I cannot find elsewhere/easier data analysis collection for marketing purposes

But the rest is pretty much all handmade

the victim's character didnt follow the grabber's character very smoothly
so i made it so upon grab the victim's network ownership goes to the grabber
and upon grab release it gets set to nil
does roblox automatically set the network ownership to the victim player again?

cuz like, it fixed the issue in the dummies but i havent tested it on players
