[unreal geode]

SHOULD I LEARN OOP? IS IT THAT IMPORTANT?

[spice sentinel]

does any1 know anything about like welding and animating weps nd shi
im tryna figure out what i gotta code in to like weld it properly so that the handles that were animated 4 the wep actually pop up

[civic garnet]

oop is simple

[unreal geode]

its not for me

[gaunt sail]

just make a new baseplate, make a type of mechanic, and post it.

and just do that a few times with different mechanics and systems

[unborn void]

I don’t have idea that’s the problem 😭

[civic garnet]

local MyClass = {}
MyClass.__index = MyClass

function MyClass.new(word)
  local self = setmetatable({}, MyClass)
  self.Word = word
  return self
end

function MyClass.sayWord(self)
  print(self.Word)
end

local NewClass = MyClass.new("Hello")
NewClass:sayWord()``` what do you not get about this

[gaunt sail]

i like to go into the "scripter hiring" section and look at what systems people usually want done and do them in a baseplate and then post it in my portfolio.

[unreal geode]

why the hell should i use it

[unborn void]

Alright thanks

[civic garnet]

makes things easier

say you have a maze algorithm

you need a way to represent nodes, and the maze itself

[gaunt sail]

can someone help me with the application process?

[unreal geode]

yh still not get it

cant i do that in normal code or?

[civic garnet]

you can but its easier and some people prefer it

[unreal geode]

aight thanks

[potent glen]

wait u fr ?💀

it keeps giving nil index errors for me

[ashen birch]

Hi

[gaunt sail]

🧍🏼

why did bro delete the whole thign

[chilly canyon]

don't use it

its a disease

[ebon bloom]

I want to mainly do anti-cheat requests, when making anti-cheat should I be using modules?

[chilly canyon]

Idk

[regal salmon]

always good to modularise so you can add and edit stuff easier later :)

[ebon bloom]

Thanks

[wild vector]

Where are the underground scripters

how does one unlock fps on roblox studio?

[gaunt sail]

idk

[chilly canyon]

Wdym

[wet briar]

the fps is capped in roblox studio and i cannot figure out how to uncap it

[chilly canyon]

Go to settings

And set the FPS to 240

[dim python]

lol that was 2 years ago, yea i have found a fix

i'm a lot better now

also there are way longer scripts out there

i'm surprised u mentioned smth from 2 years ago, how good are u now

[analog basin]

its just "self" and thats all mainly

Use the :Destroy()

[analog basin]

and its to do with metatables which is so simple

[tall sedge]

Wayyyy better than before

I was looking through some old messages here and now I'm like, "What?..."

[tall sedge]

Lol\

[tall sedge]

That's great

[distant plover]

i thought the arrow and circle was enough lmao

[regal salmon]

nah i was just more focused on the red underlines on billboard

and missaw the match check

but i understand now

[distant plover]

ah, im reworking a script for the game and i changed the variables

[distant plover]

idk

[forest hinge]

The purple scheme for the dark variant is off-putting, ideas on cooler colors?

[brave ermine]

fym

[brave ermine]

really dark purple and a bit less dark

[forest hinge]

It's a tricky color to "calm" down per say, definitely going to give that a shot quickly

[distant plover]

idk

[brave ermine]

something like the for

[forest hinge]

Oooooh, hang onnnn

[brave ermine]

aha!

[distant plover]

thats me!

[brave ermine]

yes!

C#

is any c language worth

whats the best one ?

[distant plover]

idk

[brave ermine]

ik python and lua /luau im tryna migrate to one of c cpp or c#

[distant plover]

c++ is better imo but c# is easier

[brave ermine]

how old are you ?

just to see age to exerience ratio

didnt mean to yk

[tribal meadow]

[tribal meadow]

thats cool

[brave ermine]

wbu

[tribal meadow]

I'm okay

I just finished working on a ML library

[brave ermine]

thats great!

[tribal meadow]

Thanks

[brave ermine]

ml as in machine learning ?

[brave ermine]

np

[tribal meadow]

Yeah in roblox studio

[brave ermine]

how does one achieve such ?

[tribal meadow]

Paitence, Math, and immense pain.

😭

I've only implemented 2 Regression models tho

[rugged owl]

roblox-ts > luau

[brave ermine]

for what tho

[tribal meadow]

Idk just wanted to add smth to my portfolio

[rugged owl]

no API's?

[tribal meadow]

I dont think its good for a scripter tho, as it doesnt really interact with roblox environment much

[tribal meadow]

Nah, just math.

[brave ermine]

no i fucking love ts

[tribal meadow]

Oh

[brave ermine]

i dont do roblox no more

[rugged owl]

I imagine you in google interview. I just remade chat gpt in roblox 💀

[tribal meadow]

😭

LMFAO

Thank you guys

[rugged owl]

absurdity SQUARED

[brave ermine]

this mf

is way more free

dont limit yourself with roblox

[rugged owl]

bro roblox ts is so nice

[brave ermine]

tf is roblox ts ?

[brave ermine]

fym

[tribal meadow]

lmao thanks bro

I am usually an offsite, I coded a few discord bots before

Im planning on replicating my library in python tho

[brave ermine]

what languages dyk

[rugged owl]

code roblox games in typescript

[tribal meadow]

Python, JS & rust.

[rugged owl]

I thought you meant typescript bruh 🗿

[tribal meadow]

Tho I usually worked with Python most

[brave ermine]

ik lua/luau python

[tribal meadow]

I remember making a discord bot in JS for a guy.

[tribal meadow]

Ah thats nice

Luau too

[brave ermine]

really

[tribal meadow]

Yeah

[brave ermine]

i didnt use python for a while now im tryna regain my powers

[tribal meadow]

Lmao

You can do it

[brave ermine]

lemme show you

[tribal meadow]

Okay

[subtle stag]

Is there a better AI than ChatGPT for code? He’s a bit confusing sometimes. Not really a scripter and wanted to make a fun yet still a cash grab game

[tribal meadow]

damn these are amazing bro 🔥

[hasty mesa]

Claude

[tribal meadow]

Wait let me show you the ML library rq.

[brave ermine]

this is a algorith not ml

scans the grid in waves keeping in mind everything it passes by and their cords than retraces the path avoiding what it should avoid

[tribal meadow]

Yes Ik

Still pretty amazing tho

[brave ermine]

show me your thing

[tribal meadow]

Okay, wait

[tacit fox]

chat, do you guys use data stores to save a players data or profile service

[tribal meadow]

Here's my portfolio

[tribal meadow]

Yeah kind of

[tacit fox]

no i mean which one do you use

[tribal meadow]

Here's my profile, look at the second latest post.

[tribal meadow]

Damn

[brave ermine]

looking

[tribal meadow]

Alr

[brave ermine]

pfs wayy better

[tacit fox]

so if i use pfs i dont need to use datastores

[tribal meadow]

It's not that impressive tbh, machine learning is just statistic mathematics.

[brave ermine]

yeah but you can use it in a lot of cool stuff

like fucking ai

[tribal meadow]

true

[brave ermine]

also cool portfolio is it html or no coding ?

[tribal meadow]

React lol

I just made it on a whim

I'm redesigning my new one

after I finish this project

[brave ermine]

use a lot more effects

[tribal meadow]

I am planning on making logistic Regression then a way to create a neural network

[tribal meadow]

Yeah

[brave ermine]

ppl lke that

[tribal meadow]

Thats true

[tacit fox]

guys if i use psf i dont need datastores?

[brave ermine]

yes pfs is a module that uses data stores

it does it for you

[tacit fox]

what if the servers crash

[brave ermine]

i pray for your keyboard

[shy cipher]

what if the sky falls down and the datacenters are unavailable

[brave ermine]

it handles that

[tribal meadow]

Thank you, it'll definitely need it xD

[tacit fox]

ok i see thank you guys

[brave ermine]

you muslim ?

[tacit fox]

how about profile store

psf or profile store

[tribal meadow]

Yes

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone stumbled upon this and have an answer about TeleportService:SetTeleportGui()
Note, the teleport GUI will not be used if the destination place is in a different game. It will also not persist across multiple teleports and will need to be set prior to each one.
What exactly means "a different game" in here?

[grand bloom]

wut does that mean

[mortal steppe]

give me a fun idea to script

[deft coral]

Different experience

There are Games, aka Experiences, and under those are Places which are like unique levels and have their own servers. If you teleport to another Place under the same Experienc, the UI will be kept. If you send them to another game, e.g owned by someone else, then they won't have the UI

[somber atlas]

hey, i was wondering if anyone could look at a piece of chatgpt code and help me figure out what's wrong

intended effect: when touched, the player has the model attached to their chest/torso. when the player equips a tool with a specific name, parts of the model become invisible. likewise when the player unequips the tool, those same parts of the model become visible again.

current problem: the script for attaching the model to the player works fine. however, when adding in the visible/invisible script, the whole thing breaks and the player gets locked to the model instead of the model being put on the player

[somber atlas]

cancel last, figured it out, thanks 👍

[fossil salmon]

guys is this good implementation for friends boost? ```lua
local FriendsBoostServer = {}

--//Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

--//Util
local Janitor = require(ReplicatedStorage.Util.Janitor)

local FriendsBoostConfig = require(ReplicatedStorage.Config.FriendsBoost)

function FriendsBoostServer.Init()
local janitors = {}
local function PlayerAdded(Player : Player)
repeat task.wait() until Player:FindFirstChild("Data")
local Data = Player.Data

    local janitor = Janitor.new()
    janitors[Player] = janitor
    
    local Friends = {}
    
    local function UpdateBoost()
        Data.FriendsBoost.Value = math.min(#Friends * FriendsBoostConfig.BoostAmount, FriendsBoostConfig.MaxBoost)
    end
    
    local function PlayerAdded(Other : Player)
        if Player:IsFriendsWithAsync(Other.UserId) then

a question

does anyone reuse the tweens for their gui

Hello guys, yall can help me on this combat system?
The combat is based of Shonen Unleashed, it is aerial combat, quick etc, but i dont really know how to do it..

[deft coral]

its fine but you dont need janitor or an init function

[fossil salmon]

why no janitor 😔

[deft coral]

Cuz u dont need it..?

[fossil salmon]

the init function is so that i can have a load function before

[fossil salmon]

it makes life easier, why wouldnt i need it

[deft coral]

i mean you don't need it here

[deft coral]

wait are you doing a new init every player?

[fossil salmon]

no, its for the server scripts

[edgy gorge]

@fossil salmon stop scripting this shit is ass

[fossil salmon]

❤️

[deft coral]

yeah ngl ur doing this overcomplicatedly

U only need 1 playeradded connection and just loop all current players, doing so many connections is unnecessary

[cerulean osprey]

So i want to make a Safe zone in that green circle i made but it does not work i also showed how it looks like in explorer can anyone help me make it so when you go inside that green circle you are in a safe zone?

[deft coral]

Its why i said janitor isnt needed

[edgy gorge]

sounds like someone is typing in an overly complex way

[deft coral]

make a center point of the circle and do a spatial query

specifically partsinradius

[deft coral]

ty lol

overly complex

[fossil salmon]

maybe

[worn vapor]

Who wanna start making a game (need a good scripter!) (need fully locked in people)

[deft coral]

lemme guess, percentage only

[worn vapor]

uh uhhhhh yes.

[worn vapor]

Im too broke 😔

But kinda experienced in modelinga dn animating and scripting

[fallow tiger]

its even more ass

[shut jungle]

is it bad to have client side scripts as opposed to server side

for code security reasons

or should i just not worry about it at all

[lucid lantern]

Depends on what its for

[lilac quest]

Ibe never seen this before. Thqnk you

[lucid lantern]

U expect ai alone to give you fully functioning systems?

Ai when it comes to scripting is a tool. Like blender photoshop etc

[shut jungle]

just basic game information like sfx and spawn animations

or like any parts of the game that involve with gameplay

[lucid lantern]

Lol

Bros the definition of a scriplet

[deft coral]

Np lol

[shut jungle]

what is tht 😭

[lucid lantern]

Dudes who expect ai alone to mske em an entire game

[deft coral]

thats called a vibe coder tho

[lucid lantern]

Vibe games have died since 2023

[lilac quest]

I cant find the dude, but he made a toilet tower defense game from ai

[lucid lantern]

Ai is good when yk code yourself

[shut jungle]

but like you kinda gotta build apon what the ai codes and if you try to do that without prior experience it's just gonna implode

[lucid lantern]

But if u dont know sheit ull be stuck w depricated apis bunch of type errors and other horrors

And if roblox's ai aint that good

Dont expect any better from an outside source like chatgpt

[shut jungle]

it's only good at explaining things not actually doing it

[lucid lantern]

Yh

Thats called learning

Its a tool to learn from

[shut jungle]

speaking of learn can you help me out w something

[fallow tiger]

when did I ever say that

[fallow tiger]

no chatgpt has a plethora of data to analyze. You can even check it by asking roblox ai and gpt the same prompt. Gpt will always give the better answer. Roblox ai just is pretty bad I don't know where they get their data

[shut jungle]

prolly from roblox scripters them self in all honesty

[cerulean osprey]

Can you dm me how

[fallow tiger]

probably why its so bad

[deft coral]

loud incorrect buzzer

[cerulean osprey]

So i want to make a Safe zone in that green circle i made but it does not work i also showed how it looks like in explorer can anyone help me make it so when you go inside that green circle you are in a safe zone?

[shut jungle]

like make it so if you are within the x,y and z of the circle you get a ff and you can make the ff invisible as well a text pop up that says safezone

or if you touch the part then you get the ff and it can be invisible etc

[nocturne solstice]

im trying to make sum that makes it so liek

you can press L to sit

and instead of moving like a sled, it moves light a mighty bean

like a weighted toy at the bottom

so when people push you, you kinda wobble back and forth, eventually returning to your seating pose

i have the localscript,

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SeatRemote")
local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local isSeated = false

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
    if gameProcessed then return end

    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.L then
        if isSeated then
            remoteEvent:FireServer("remove")
            isSeated = false
        else
            remoteEvent:FireServer("spawn")
            isSeated = true
        end
    end
end)

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
    if isSeated then
        remoteEvent:FireServer("remove")
        isSeated = false
    end
end)

humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Sit"):Connect(function()
    if not humanoid.Sit and isSeated then
        wait(0.3)
        if not humanoid.Sit then
            remoteEvent:FireServer("remove")
            isSeated = false
        end
    end
end)

but idk how to go about the serverscript

[vernal peak]

is a function like isSprinting() always on a runservice?

cuz how is it supposed to know the plr stoped moving soit can stop the anim

Cuz I heard u should never use run service since its very impactful on performance

Yeah I teach people in hazems how to script wanan see people asking me and then me sending them the videos I got from here?

[green pagoda]

Wait u do

[graceful wagon]

dont use youtube

you're watching instead of doing, its not a good way of learning

[novel stirrup]

This was one from October of a well known vfx artist

[novel stirrup]

He asked me for some vids

[green pagoda]

So you’ve been scripting for 2 years

[novel stirrup]

On Roblox yeah

Wait go back to hazems server I’m tryna get image perms

[green pagoda]

Are u lying??

[grim dust]

Question How would you stop side Collison from turning the player in a side fighter

[regal salmon]

follow along..?

[chilly canyon]

I love bouncing my balls

[deft coral]

AlignOrientation

Itll force the player via the physics engine to maintain a specific orientation without affecting position

Set its property RigidityEnabled to true

[grim dust]

ty

[deft coral]

For further info just look it up in the API docs/manual or chatgpt it

[pastel pine]

How do you get that highlight affect on the balls

[fickle python]

i just added a highlight to the model

which is something you should never do as highlights suck

imma make it into a texture when im done with prototype phase

[mental grove]

did it take you 6 hours to make the balls move around bro

[fickle python]

ball spins 🙏

[fickle python]

probably way longer than that tbh

[mental grove]

ok bro nice balls

[fickle python]

cuz it's not just physics system

[fickle python]

ikr

i may or may not have coded a whole ass inventory system just so i can have more balls

[mental grove]

amazing

[iron kraken]

blud making that erlacks thing

[somber atlas]

chatgpt actually fixed it so 😂

[fickle python]

as long as you understand what it did and how it works sure

[fickle python]

too tired to keep coding but too overstimulated to sleep

ggs I'm cooked

[stiff saddle]

use a Constraint called AlignOrientation

[molten mulch]

working on an anime game budget is about 1-5k$ for the scripter can anyone suggest any good scripter that has experience with already released games

[shut jungle]

did they

[somber atlas]

yes actually, just had to prompt engineer a bit

[shut jungle]

it didn't work when i tried to form together a play animation on spawn event

[blazing island]

Guys what platform should I use for reciving international freelance payments

[somber atlas]

and like 50% understand what it’s giving

[somber atlas]

paypal is reliable

[blazing island]

Paypal or payonner

[shut jungle]

im somewhat new i kinda need help on that part

[tawdry marlin]

Paypal

[somber atlas]

1. tell it exactly what you want
2. describe exactly in detail what isn’t working and how it should be working, as though you’re describing to a person
3. sometimes you need to start a new chat, otherwise it will draw from the wrong fixes

oh and save backups to fall back to, and never trust it works until you’ve tested it

i find that telling it you’re coding in roblox studio using lua helps too

[unreal vine]

Hey guys

Is here someone who can help me.

[stiff saddle]

what help

[unreal vine]

I need some cool people for my game

I'm making

So yeah

It's complex either

[jolly wing]

dung

[teal crane]

i dont have experience with full games but i have designed frameworks and systems so I Could be the right choice for you

[terse osprey]

hey, i'm having an issue. I'm using BuildRigFromAttachments to use r15 boy and girl rigs, I have a system that uses slot 1, and 2. the problem is i belive the build rig function is causing my character to be reset

an example of a reset would be, I load onto slot 1, leave, wait a little then load onto slot 2 and i get killed.

[tulip seal]

Read into it an hour ago. Honestly quite amazing how it works. But you’ll have to adjust your entire workflow to it

[graceful delta]

as a new developer, i discovered you can use humanoid:TakeDamage(-x) to heal

[jovial crown]

Yk u can modify health directly

[azure granite]

is it worthwhile to make a client sided version of an oop object

[deft coral]

TakeDamage is generally better because it respects forcefields

[deft coral]

depends on the data and whats important to be replicated

[somber wraith]

Can you all stop talking am dying

[jovial crown]

Yea but thats something you could use before even realizing -x. And also not in every case u want to get affected by forcefields example force kill on rounds end

[teal crane]

i am looking for work

[deft coral]

Are we debating rn

[jovial crown]

No? I just don't think people should prioritize takedamage that much

[deft coral]

I gave you a reason why someone would use takedamage, yes obviously if you dont wanna respect forcefields then dont use it

[leaden rock]

dmed

[teal crane]

i accepted

[jovial crown]

You said generally better?

[hallow crater]

Heya friends

[limpid portal]

Hello guys! I took your guys advice and I'm starting to learn something! I wanted to ask you guys: Once I complete BrawlDev's beginner guide series should I go for the Advanced one or should I watch the GUI one?

[graceful delta]

i know, but :TakeDamage() is just better then health = x or health = health - x

[jovial crown]

Why? Arguments

[graceful delta]

just easier

plus it looks more professional

[jovial crown]

How?

Those aren't arguments of being better

[graceful delta]

would you rather see health = health - 30 or humanoid:TakeDamage(30)

put a pin on that, finally some good fucking news

[jovial crown]

What type of argument is that

Btw use health-=

[graceful delta]

effort

effort that i dont have

[jovial crown]

Wym effort

[graceful delta]

are you just copy pasting to every channel

[jovial crown]

Whats the difference between humanoid.health-=x and humanoid:takedamage(x)

health is even easier to type

[graceful delta]

ban speedrun any%

[graceful delta]

adding "-" before the variable adds health btw

in :TakeDamage()

[jovial crown]

And?

Both health and takedamage is -

Meaning im adding hp in both snippets

[graceful delta]

[karmic tangle]

no?

[jovial crown]

@graceful delta so whats the benefits of takedamage

Wby its so much better than subtracting health directly

[graceful delta]

looks better and easier to track

[karmic tangle]

[graceful delta]

plus it can be better for repeated code to prevent errors

[karmic tangle]

na

[celest venture]

its on both my gaming pc which isnt even like cheap

its like $3000

and on my laptop as well which is a M2 macbook air

[graceful delta]

it depends

[celest venture]

ive been dealing with it for like a year as well

[jovial crown]

Its not

[graceful delta]

how big is the studio file size?

[karmic tangle]

it respects forcefields

[jovial crown]

All ur arguments are nonsense

[jovial crown]

It doesnt Mean its better?

Both r the same w different uses

None r better or worse

[graceful delta]

in that sense it can be better

[karmic tangle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1251654686407131196/1276963601697210449/91ale2.gif

right.

[graceful delta]

what

i saw that gang you aint slick 😭

[jovial crown]

Thats like comparing a humanoid to boolean. Scripts need to ignore forcefields too

[graceful delta]

this has GOT to be ragebait

[celest venture]

bruh why does it matter

[jovial crown]

How its better

[celest venture]

both do the same thing so use either

[jovial crown]

Both r different uses

[karmic tangle]

they js giving out luau role to anyone nowadays

[celest venture]

how

[jovial crown]

1 ignores forsefields 1 doesnt

[celest venture]

ok great theres ur answer

[jovial crown]

I'd you oof someone using scripts and use takedamage

[karmic tangle]

[jovial crown]

It wouldn't be perfect beacsuse of forcefields

Its great to weapons tho

[karmic tangle]

well the whole point of forcefields is to stop that 😭 😭 😭

[jovial crown]

No? If i were to have like a minigame which is supposed to oof player

Whats the point of it having no effect due to forcefields

[karmic tangle]

oml

[graceful delta]

breaking news

the built in system to stop damage isnt there to stop you from taking damage

[karmic tangle]

then you’d hopefully be smart enough to disable forcefields

are we deadass rn

[jovial crown]

What if you need those in combat?

[graceful delta]

this is

[jovial crown]

Just use takedamage in combat and health in rounds

Both got uses

[graceful delta]

precisely the point

he was making

[jovial crown]

Both got places

[graceful delta]

[jovial crown]

1 isn't worse

[graceful delta]

keep in mind this was how it started

[karmic tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/byuntear-cat-mocking-gif-13935821400850516732

[jovial crown]

And?

[karmic tangle]

yeah you need them to stop people from taking damage 😭

the whole point of them

[jovial crown]

How is takedamage better

[graceful delta]

i decided to give the AI assistant a chance to help me fix my script

[jovial crown]

If u have a round system to remove people by force

And takedamage wouldn't be useful

[graceful delta]

the fucking thing decided to just delete the whole function

[jovial crown]

Both got their own uses and scenarios

[spiral yacht]

hey does anyone use vs code and rojo? I want to load in the filess that have already been created into VSCode editor, although it doesnt seem like I can and would have to create each one manually

[bronze lynx]

dont even bother with rojo

its not worth it

[keen zephyr]

why

[bronze lynx]

the entire benefit comes from version control with git

which is useful for teams that have like 12 scripters

but u dont have 12 scripters and u arent gonna

using tooling just means ur whole project relying on one random ross member whos probably gonna forget about it in a year

roblox studio was designed to make roblox games

[spiral yacht]

alright

[bronze lynx]

there arent any ways to publish assets from vs

without hacky stuff

[keen zephyr]

how do you know this?

[spiral yacht]

ok thank you

[bronze lynx]

cause i tried it

and then i went back cause it didnt actually help with productivity

only a bunch of errors from tools i had to fix

[keen zephyr]

okay I see

[bronze lynx]

you can technically publish roblox assets but that requires importing rbxms and then running poorly maintained scripts which will probably break at some point

if u really wanna do rojo u should do partially managed and only rely on the big tools whose owner would get crucified by big studios if they dropped support

[cedar flicker]

Use rojo only for code

[keen zephyr]

ight

Hi guys

What's the best way to learn scripting?

[timber frost]

Can I get a coding cheat sheet of like what functions do and stuff

[fair topaz]

rojo lwkey ahh

[timber frost]

So I don’t have to remember it all

[fair topaz]

you dont hav eto remember it

you need to know how to use em by practicing

[solemn sierra]

the best help i can give, is to NOT remember them all, instead, you should use the documentation website of the language, they have all the functions and what they do there, anytime you need to "remember" one, check their website, they also have some useful tips on how you can use it in different ways.

[faint flame]

has any1 ever amde a hunting game

[solemn sierra]

ive made cheats for a hunting game, does that count?

[timber frost]

Can I get a link to that please because I am having trouble finding it

[solemn sierra]

what language

[solemn sierra]

ill assume you mean luau, so

https://luau.org/library

[timber frost]

Luau

Thank you

I’ve been searching for a while for this

[solemn sierra]

now what i do, is if i cannot find it, and cant think of the name for it, i will use chatgpt to find out what function i would need, then it will give me an answer of like 2/3 of them, and i will go look in the library myself, so you can use AI as a tool to guide you in the right direction, but i try to actually learn from the language library itself

[timber frost]

I basically never use ai for anything but I see

[cerulean osprey]

Basically i am creating a safe zone in my game and that green circle will be the safe zone so if you step in it your in the safe zone, but everything i try does not work on the right is how it looks in workspace can someone tell me how to fix this.

Can anyone help me

hey guys I been having a problem, when I copy and paste a gui from another game into mine, it doesnt keep its position and it shoves everything into the top left corner, Anyone got a fix?

[pliant anvil]

Are you using packages? @burnt hollow

because all developers are starting to use packages now so what it does is essentially moves the original "model" out of its original place.

meaning packages can be annoying sometime

but it isn't a big deal what I ussally do it just repaste the ui completely.

[pliant anvil]

it doesn't break anything look: im using a package for my ui

@burnt hollow

i ussally just copy and repaste it

whatever broke or got misplaced

its not really a big issue.

especially once all ur ui is done u should be good.

[weary nymph]

ah i see but why? wouldn't it be better to quickly generate code at a high level, fast?

[somber vault]

This is an unoriginal and still incorrect thought

[peak jolt]

No ai sucks at high level, it will do everything it can to solve your problems as locally as possible

You ask it for code it will just write you 1 script to paste instead of telling you to refactor some module first

Exceptions are tools like codex but even those are basically just guessing unless you already tell it the high level overview

[modern seal]

i js use ai to write little snippets of math i dun understand how t codee itss a nice tool for th lazy work

Understanding your code and what it does is crucial. Imagine you have a bug, but you have absolutely no idea what your code does so you can't fix it

Yeah true

@leaden rock Use the marketplace for jobs
#marketplace-info

You gotta use the marketplace as well ^

[somber vault]

Fuck the marketplace honestly no matter how good my portfolio is hidden devs reject it constantly.

[bronze path]

If you want to advertise your portfolio in the marketplace, you need the luau programmer skill role first

Rules are rules, see #marketplace-info

[bronze path]

Why would you ever do the first option? At most you just split between data stores when necessary like using a player data store and an ordered data store for a leaderboard (for example)

And for things like player data, yes use a table

[restive wigeon]

I feel like having a seperate datastore for something big such as inventory and/or player specific options would be a good idea. Lmk

[granite galleon]

have you ever heard of multi-line comments

you did not need to write a billion --

you could've just done --[[ at the start and ]] at the end

[bronze path]

It's a standard practice to use one data store for player data. Doesn't mean you always will but there's no need to split the inventory into another data store
I think you'd benefit from reading all of these categories in the data store documentation

https://create.roblox.com/docs/cloud-services/data-stores/best-practices

[restive wigeon]

thanks

[bronze path]

Just look on the side for the rest of the articles they're separate

[restive wigeon]

It would make sense, i'm just speculating and asking for opinions

What's the deal with datastore "scopes"?

So they aren't multiple datastores but partisions inside datastores

[bronze path]

It's documented in this section of what I linked you
Apparently scopes are legacy and you should work with listing and prefixed instead. It looks like they are a way to namespace/section keys

[restive wigeon]

Thank you very much! ❤️

[sonic sable]

for the scripters i got a question, how much would yall charge to make something like this?

[deft coral]

i dont take comms below like 1000usd for full games regardless of simplicity

[sonic sable]

I mean like just that part

Just the slapping and the thing cutscene idk that follows after

[deft coral]

like a few hundred to do a few variants and id make a better cutscene

cuz that was crap

[sonic sable]

i mean im looking for something like that exactly in terms of robux

a few hundred is crazy dayumn

[deft coral]

this industry is either paying someone a living wage for things you want or paying Mr Rahmid who barely speaks English $7.55 for ChatGPT code

[sonic sable]

true

mr rahmid is crazy 😭

[deft coral]

35k robux = 105 usd roughly

Theres a bot command thatll show you in this server

[tame ibex]

Perf gold standard

Batch ur userinputbegan and ended events

If u dont ur reaccessing inputObject

[sonic sable]

damn for something simple like that?

[deft coral]

the caveat was i wouldn't make it as crap as that

and if i was told to, i wouldn't do it, but i imagine you could find someone to do it for like 80-120 usd

[sonic sable]

someone offered to make it for like 4k robux

[sonic sable]

i mean those games do well so yeah

and i need some money ngl so ill prolly make smt like that

In any game engine, any environment

[west swan]

wouldnt it be more annoying cuz it doesnt replicate like values or attributes?

[tame ibex]

Roblox's replication is bad perf. Make ur own for the goal of Yx better optimisation

Uits only annoying if u dont understand the reward of optimising it

Which it is, if u dont think the gain is good enough

Which it is

[west swan]

i understand optimizing it, but at the same time im relatively new to scripting

[tame ibex]

You'll use instances for state. Once you do you wont think about optimisation of making it better since you'll be so used to it

U start by using tables for state and rpelicating urself with smth network module on devforums

[modern seal]

me personally i js put th attributes inside th folder

idunnurr if thts wht yrr talking abt >,>

🐈

[tame ibex]

U dont do this for player combat movement

[modern seal]

is tht wht they wher talking abtt ?

[west swan]

it is what im talking about but shells topic sounds like its good to learn for the future

[west swan]

is what youre talking about something like ByteNet?

[tame ibex]

Blink is faster

Yes

[west swan]

do i need to download rokit for this?

[tame ibex]

No

Make ur own

[west swan]

mb i have no idea about this, looked into it once and decided it wasnt worth it then

[tame ibex]

it is

[west swan]

make my own?

[tame ibex]

yes

[west swan]

bro what

how do i go about doing that?

[tame ibex]

don't u know that programming is iterative

the first iteration of conway's game of life can be 10 pixels

when it's at 50 it's 2 billion

so what u do

is open a script and vibe code it with intuition

ill figure smtg out, thanks for the info

[tiny widget]

if you want to finish your game in 2026, just use those attributes dog

then go from there

[tame ibex]

someone smart would naturally use tables

[tiny widget]

he's a beginner

let me go through trial and error

[tame ibex]

i didnt know about arrays but because i am smart, i just typed {string}

then i learned about metatables in the same day

then by day 2 i made a replica of phantom forces

[tame ibex]

if ur smart u learn luau in a day

sincei t's so easy

[young ledge]

Who can work on my game for 10-20% as a coder (I did the map and a single model) (No joke 100% real and 1/10000 lifetime offer)

[glad thorn]

"Fully learning" and understanding if-else statements and function definitions are not the same. You will not fully learn luau in just one day, no matter your intelligence

[tame ibex]

i did

if ur smart like i am

[young ledge]

how

[tame ibex]

u intuit all of it

{string} = {'a'}

{string}={'b','c,'}

[tame ibex]

i read all the docs

[young ledge]

YOU UNDERSTOOD ALL TS

[glad thorn]

No

[young ledge]

BY READING?

[tame ibex]

yes

[young ledge]

WHAT DID U READ

[tame ibex]

u dont learn it bit by bit

u intuit it

[young ledge]

MEANING?

[glad thorn]

This doesn't really mean anything

[tame ibex]

i was explaining how i learned luau

[tame ibex]

ur not supposed to read it letter by letter

[young ledge]

what does ts mean?

[tame ibex]

ur supposed to look at it until u can recite every character from memory

[tame ibex]

finite state machine

[young ledge]

HUH?

I MEMORIZE WHAT IT DOES AND THE WORDING

[tame ibex]

sub millisecond times

[young ledge]

how do u know what they mean then

[tame ibex]

ur not understanding what it really says

if u learned luau

[young ledge]

whats luau

[tame ibex]

u dont see 2 brackets and a string

u see a idea

[young ledge]

i only know lua

[glad thorn]

Luau is the modified version of Lua that roblox uses

[tame ibex]

i used a hsm before

which is terrible perf relatively

which is why i use a fsm now

with grounded updated only

[glad thorn]

Good for you

[tame ibex]

u dont need grounded enter and exit

fsm=hsm but

[hasty mesa]

you could make it more readble by defining constants on the top and indexing with that

local ENTER = 1

fsmENTER

[tame ibex]

it will always be Enter Exit Update

which is why it would aldd extra mental overhead for no gain

[crimson portal]

who wants to be my friend

[glad thorn]

Btw these are average speeds afaik, not "the world's fastest"

[tame ibex]

1. it's the perf fastest fsm u can make on roblox
2. it's the fastest relative to how it's also the most elegant u can make on roblox

[tame ibex]

3. if i remove the os.clock, print statement

[glad thorn]

Fastest in roblox isn't that tough, fsm isn't that insane, and for elegance I'm sure it could be improved

[tame ibex]

print statement is about 10*10^-6 secs

[tame ibex]

people use suboptimal fsms on roblox. if u consider that this is insane

[hasty mesa]

it depends on the message

[tame ibex]

yes

[hasty mesa]

and frequency of the print statement

[tame ibex]

everyone knows how to make fsms but nobody bothers with making them optimal since "the cost is too low" which is wrong since every beach is formed by 1 sand part

[glad thorn]

People usually don't care about the difference between 200 and 400 nanoseconds

[tame ibex]

for elegance i believe it is the most elegant

[glad thorn]

• That's partly opinionated

[tame ibex]

performance aware elegance

u will only measure elegance relative to something

so i call it the most elegant roblox fsm

it is the best u get in luau

[glad thorn]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tame ibex]

16.7

[glad thorn]

67? What are you talking about

[tame ibex]

ms frame budget u have

how do i make this faster

[young ledge]

HEY GUYS

I FIGURED OUT HOW TO WRITE

HE HE HE HE HE HE HE

[silent thistle]

Ouuu shii

[heady spire]

im new to scripting and was watching a vid on coroutines and wondering are they really any different from task.spawn and what uses they have? im watching brawldev's video on it and he basically just says the only difference is you can yield so should i be using one or the other whats the actual difference

[hasty mesa]

task.spawn is safer to use if ur a beginner

since it would give proper errors

coroutines gives more control

[heady spire]

in what way

[hasty mesa]

although coroutine.resume can just be replaced with task.spawn for most cases

[hasty mesa]

coroutine.yield can yield the thread

which task doesn't havr

coroutines.status gives you the status of a thread like if it's yielded or finished and coroutine.running() gives the the thread it's currently in

[heady spire]

i see wdym that task.spawn gives proper errors can u just not tell if ur coroutine errored

[hasty mesa]

coroutines.resume acts like a pcall meaning it will catch the error and not show it coroutine.wrap will give the error but when you click on it it will bring you to when wrap was called not the actual error task.spawn will bring you to the error line and show it

[static coral]

task.spawn will error in the console, but coroutine.resume will return the error and then you need to print it, but if it errors at a later stage, the error will be completely silent so it will break and there will be nothing in output

[hasty mesa]

coroutines.resume also breaks with some Roblox api like resuming bindtoclose or Invoke functions

[heady spire]

i see

[static coral]

yeah coroutine.yield breaks remote function callback

[heady spire]

so coroutines are like niche task.spawn

is task.spawn whats most used even for like more advanced scripters

[static coral]

they are native to lua i believe and task uses them internally but its overall better to use task for resuming threads

[heady spire]

and is there any performance difference

[static coral]

both coroutines and task have their own use cases tho

[heady spire]

so basically i shouldn't really worry about it too much as a beginner

[hasty mesa]

not yield

if you resume it with coroutine.resume it would fail to properly resume

but if you resume with task.spawn it will resume properly

[static coral]

coroutines are slightly faster but its not noticable, and the silent errors are pretty bad, both will execute the created threads with no difference tho

[static coral]

it do i tested, if you coroutine.yield in remote function callback, it will just return nil on the other end

its bug i had

[hasty mesa]

nah cause I tested it before

[hasty mesa]

I've seen people encounter this bug and looked into it
