[static coral]

im not sure about the resuming but ik for sure it will just return nil on the other end when you yield

i have encountered it myself

[hasty mesa]

local bindable = Instance.new("BindableFunction")

bindable.OnInvoke = function()
    local thread = coroutine.running()

    task.delay(2, function()
        coroutine.resume(thread)
    end)

    coroutine.yield()

    print("SERVER SENDBACK")
    return "TEST"
end
print(bindable:Invoke())
print('FINISH')

this would not resume but with task.spawn it wikl work fine

[hasty mesa]

if you yield it then it will stay yielded

until it's resumed

[heady spire]

ok cool

[static coral]

im talking about remote function

[hasty mesa]

it acts the same

the bug was originally with a remote function

[static coral]

yeah im not talking about resuming the thread tho

[hasty mesa]

yeah but if it's yielded then it would stay yielded

until it gets resumed

[static coral]

i mean if u invoke remote function from client and the server uses coroutine.yield in the callback, it will just return nil on client

[hasty mesa]

seems fine

[deft coral]

Rahmid

They do thats why im saying more earnestly im a stickler and thats just my pov

[sonic sable]

ohhh

[sonic sable]

hmm yeah ig

but it looks simple tho

[deft coral]

It is but 4k robux is rahmid

Again just estimate how many hours itd take (usually a few at minimum after bug testing too) and multiply by like 20 bucks

[static coral]

nvm u right i was tweaking

[opal seal]

Would this be an ideal place to ask scripting related questions?

[regal salmon]

yep, thats exactly what this channel is meant for lol

[opal seal]

All righty, you a scripter or a employer? Had a general question, not sure if it's too technical.

[regal salmon]

i am a scripter

[swift sleet]

yeah, ask whatever's bothering you

[graceful delta]

Breaking news a scripter was found in a scripter channel

[opal seal]

Anyway.

[opal seal]

Do you feel that a decently experienced scripter can continue the work of another scripter? Straight off the bat. For example, I have weapon system or UI that is incomplete, and I need a new scripter to complete the work.

[opal seal]

@swift sleet ^

[swift sleet]

ig

[mild island]

After I learn the fundamentals of luau what should I do?

[heady spire]

make stuff

[swift sleet]

start coding

[regal salmon]

of course. they may need to take some time to understand the existing code or may take a little longer because it's not their code, but they should have little to no problem working around it.

[mild island]

But what?

[regal salmon]

make an obby or something

[rose beacon]

yo, are html, css and js good languages to learn

[regal salmon]

if you want to make websites, yes

[opal seal]

And to clarify, this keeps improving based on that scripters experience right? What do you specialise in btw?

[mild island]

I have no ideas for what to script and whenever I do I have no idea how to execute it

[swift sleet]

just simple stuff, look around on yt or something like that for stuff that others made and try replicating it by yourself

[regal salmon]

yes. i'm best at backend scripting but i do all facets of it

[sonic sable]

bro 😭

no need for allat and if u make bugs then bro ur cooked

[rose beacon]

I'm currently planning to learn Javascript and study CSS a bit deeper, I can only make basic things so far.

[opal seal]

Gotcha. Thank you.

[mild island]

When will if know if I’m ready for commissions

[rose beacon]

Question, what even is backend and frontend scripting?

[swift sleet]

when you've built a decent looking portfolio

[regal salmon]

backend is scripting systems, e.g. a party system or a game loop
while frontend is scripting things like ui and vfx

[mild island]

That was my next question, how do I build one?

What do I even put

[rose beacon]

Ohhh, thanks.

[swift sleet]

backend is all about stuff that the user doesn't see such as data stores and mechanics, but the frontend is the opposite where which can be ui or gfx or stuff like that

[swift sleet]

find a website that lets you build a page and present yourself as well as some of the work you've done

[rose beacon]

Yeah, I already got an answer. But thank you for defining it in a simpler way.

[swift sleet]

np

[rose beacon]

https://html-css-js.com/

This is so far the best editor of all three I know.
Useful cheatsheets and all of that.

[mild island]

Do I just put the best systems I’ve scripted

[regal salmon]

why not use like vscode or something?

[regal salmon]

yes

[swift sleet]

yes

after all you want to show that you're the best

[mild island]

Do you guys have an example

[rose beacon]

I do, eventually.
But for me personally editing it there makes it way easier as I can access all 3 of them at once without them being too tight. And I can also switch between the cheatsheet and editor tabs quicker.

[regal salmon]

this one is mine: https://www.novinitygames.com/portfolio/programming

[pseudo ivy]

Could anyone tell me why my viewport doesnt show me my characters accesories it just shows the startercharacter without any accesories?

[regal salmon]

i suppose that makes sense

[rose beacon]

It probably looks better on PC, I suppose.

[regal salmon]

yeahh 😭

getting iframes to look right on mobile has been very annoying

[rose beacon]

What did you use to make it?
The programming language.

[regal salmon]

nextjs typescript + tailwind

[mild island]

Alr Ty

And 4nvvar Ty for the advice

[swift sleet]

look in here#scripter-hirable you'll find scripters presenting their portfolios

[rose beacon]

👍

[swift sleet]

anytime

[rose beacon]

What are personally the best things you all have made in yalls opinion?

[regal salmon]

favorite thing or most impressive?

[rose beacon]

The most impressive, visually.

[regal salmon]

visually

[swift sleet]

well i just made a death effect like 30 mins ago, idk how to share it tho

[rose beacon]

Nice! For what game did you make it?

Roblox?

[swift sleet]

ye

[modest trout]

can somebody help me witha script

[regal salmon]

i dont really make anything that looks good visually, i usually have someone else doing that..but this looks kinda cool i think

[regal salmon]

send your problem

[swift sleet]

is that procedural terrain generation?

[regal salmon]

no, it takes a roblox-made terrain object and converts it to be made out of parts
the settings decide how much detail goes into said conversion

[swift sleet]

ooo that's pretty cool

[regal salmon]

i used it to make a photography system

[modest trout]

i can t record but i want to make a script that if i prees a buttot the part disspers like in tower slpa

slap*

[regal salmon]

what kind of button

[modest trout]

whay i cant send imagine bro

[regal salmon]

is it a ui button or a part

[modest trout]

chack dm

[rose beacon]

That looks fantastic.

[regal salmon]

thanks

[swift sleet]

if only i had img perms rn

[rose beacon]

Haha.

[swift sleet]

@regal salmon can i dm you a quick clip and you post it here?

[regal salmon]

sure

[rose beacon]

That is visually very appealing.

[swift sleet]

ahhh

[regal salmon]

😭

[swift sleet]

no gif perm either

[regal salmon]

poor guy

[swift sleet]

pmo

[regal salmon]

how've you been here for a year and a half and still no image perm

i been here for like 2 months and got it 💔

oh you only have 82 messages

yeah that'll do it

[swift sleet]

lol i don't talk much

[regal salmon]

fair nuff

[honest heron]

I have image perm

I thought you got for free

[regal salmon]

you get it from being active

[honest heron]

Oh right

[swift sleet]

[honest heron]

I've said like 5 words in 5 months

This most active I've been

[regal salmon]

💔

[pseudo ivy]

Could anyone tell me why my viewport doesnt show me my characters accesories it just shows the startercharacter without any accesories?

[icy bone]

Yo am I tweaking

local House = {}

function House.new(residents)
    return setmetatable({
        _residents = residents;
    }, House)
end


function House:Celebrate()
    print(tostring(self._residents).." are celebrating Christmas.")
end

function House:MoveIn(People : number?)
    self._residents += (People or 1)
end

function House:MoveOut(People : number?)
    self._residents -= (People or 1)
end

return House

It's telling me _residents is nil

wait

nvm im actually fucking dumb as hell I might cry

[empty jay]

its ok

dont

[modest trout]

brum im stuck at a part for 2 hours plz help

[tranquil sundial]

isnt that kind of little

for 4 years of experience

i saw u writing and deleting, i only asked because i was curious

[regal salmon]

i just dont do anything that would look impressive on its own
most of my projects look like basically nothing because i cant model for shit lmao

[sinful arrow]

Hi sorry quick question anyone here that does commisions?

[tranquil sundial]

look into the hiring channel

[sinful arrow]

They take a long time to reply and i need someone asap

[tranquil sundial]

what u need

[regal salmon]

atleast give some info on it lol

[sinful arrow]

Well i need a spinning wheel a wheel of fortnute you know like the wheels of names , u can spin and win a price

[rose beacon]

question, are you looking for a complex one or a simple one

im way too underskilled for that but still

lol

[sinful arrow]

Simple

its simple

[rose beacon]

why do you even need one

[sinful arrow]

For my game?

[rose beacon]

oh-

i thought you meant a web based one

LOL

[sonic sable]

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

This slapping mechanic

wdym

[tame ibex]

ur good

[sonic sable]

I don’t script so idk

[night crag]

pretty sure thats a roblox gear

[somber vault]

a million dowas

[polar lotus]

I've been having trouble increasing the size of R6 characters lately, It would turn them into blobs and un-proportional positions, could someone send me a code example in chat, or dms?

[lament mirage]

What's yalls biggest problem or boilerplate when coding UI?

[sonic sable]

No.

[somber vault]

yes

[cloud atlas]

scripters charge different because its always their investment of time and effort

[sonic sable]

I mean yk when they get slapped it plays like music and freezes them in the air

[cloud atlas]

so its basically how much YOU value your own work

[somber vault]

50 bucks

tbh

for high quality efficent one

thats optimised

usually most scripters that charge low make their codes not optimised so they are barely playable on mobile and not readable to other scripters

[sonic sable]

Woah woah 50 for that

I mean ts looks easy to make someone offered to make it for me for like 3k Robux

And I wanna see what yall are offering it doesn’t seem that hard to make

[tranquil sundial]

i mean depends

how long would it take you

[sonic sable]

yeah true

how much would you offer tho Robux wise

[nimble pier]

Gng what are u playing

[sonic sable]

wdym

it’s js some tower am trynna make

[brazen pelican]

like 20$ or 2k rbx

icl thats easy just time consuming

[timid anvil]

dude that should be illegal

like

[tranquil sundial]

what

[timid anvil]

if the scripter takes 2 hours it's not because it was hard it was because the scripter isn't efficient enough

isn't scripting all about finding similar mechanics and fusing them to your will

I know that's the case for like python discord bots n shit

[lament mirage]

In a sense, yes I guess? It's like just speaking. You know which words to say and when. That's why people with years of experience are almost always very efficient

[lament mirage]

Discord Bots are a lot of boilerplate tbh

[timid anvil]

so why should we pay someone more because they have less experience and took longer to makeup a stance

[lament mirage]

That's for you to answer

[timid anvil]

exactly so instead of paying off time it should be paying off complexity

[lament mirage]

Though it could be because the experienced ones don't spend their whole day on this platform (e.g. going out with friends more often)

Or they're already busy

So you hire less experienced devs because their prices are different and they're always available

They gotta become experienced somehow right?

[timid anvil]

I think it's more because they're more money and fame hungry to be spending their time on spots where people usually make 15 days games that make 5k robux when well managed

[lament mirage]

Paying off time vs complexity can be quite the discussion tbh

If the quality of the work matters more, then you could go for complexity. But many companies go with hourly rates because they end up having to pay people less (especially teenagers with a side job)

[sonic sable]

What have I caused bro 😭

[sonic sable]

I’ll pay u like 3k or 4k Robux to do it for me 🙏

[lament mirage]

Well, I think it's more a matter of reputation and chance of success

[timid anvil]

atp just put up a hiring up announcement

[sonic sable]

mbmb

[lament mirage]

If a developer is well known and good, they won't make "throw a brainrot in the ocean" because they KNOW they can do better than that

[sonic sable]

I was genuinely curious man

Wanna see what scripters would charge like a range

[timid anvil]

you can pretty much make this with ai but that's something you shouldn't know loll

[sonic sable]

LMAO fr?

I didn’t know man I might have to

[lament mirage]

Ngl never let AI code your projects

You have 0 control over the quality of the code

[timid anvil]

yea but well for a simple mechanic it's already good

[rose beacon]

are yall mostly front end coders or back end

[lament mirage]

Icl any roblox coder is fullstack

[cloud atlas]

full stack

[lament mirage]

There's a really small bridge between the two in roblox

[sonic sable]

What is full stack front end and backend wtf is all ts

[cloud atlas]

front end is client
back end is server
full stack is both

[lament mirage]

Full stack = front-end and backend
Front-end = what you see
Backend = what you don't see

To put it into simple words

[timid anvil]

front end is true larp
back end is no larping
fullstack is acting larp

[rose beacon]

i dont code in roblox so im mostly a front end coder

idk how to do the backend

[lament mirage]

Why would not coding in roblox make you a front-end coder

[rose beacon]

i mean not programming in luau

coding

[timid anvil]

personally

[lament mirage]

Do you program or code in any other languages?

[rose beacon]

html and css

[lament mirage]

Small bridge between the two

[timid anvil]

I'm a fullstack scratch coder 👅

[lament mirage]

Web design I love it

Do you use tailwind at all?

[timid anvil]

web design is satisfying

[lament mirage]

That's fire

[rose beacon]

what is that?

im a beginner

[lament mirage]

It's css, but like tenfold better

You should try it after you're comfortable with css

[timid anvil]

type script

(nerd type shit)

[lament mirage]

I like it better than js

[timid anvil]

yes

[lament mirage]

Rust though

[timid anvil]

it's

[lament mirage]

Mmm

Rust is great 👍

[timid anvil]

less laggying laggier

rust coat

[lament mirage]

What

[rose beacon]

https://ros-newsletter.pages.dev/

this is the best i can do after 3 days

[timid anvil]

type it up

[lament mirage]

That's great

[lament mirage]

Type what up

[timid anvil]

Rust Coat

[rose beacon]

i used AI for the references

like how to change the font family and so on

[timid anvil]

u should use ai to tell you how to make ur site interactive

that's what I did

should I play

faceit

or should I go sleep

[rose beacon]

bruh

[timid anvil]

stop phising dude

[lament mirage]

I don't get it

[rose beacon]

it was deleted for containing a link before level 5

[lament mirage]

I respect the hustle

[timid anvil]

counter strike knif

[lament mirage]

After a month of tailwindcss you'll never go back to css though

[lament mirage]

[rose beacon]

bro

djkdnwjaksksnakslsknwkskskskfndusuwbbdkdkehgjdoqngvgcixixodkddigfjjgufj

[timid anvil]

me

focusing on something a whole month

NEVER

[sonic sable]

Ah okay

[rose beacon]

is tailwind harder than css

and why is it better

@lament mirage

[uneven cypress]

yo this error happen bcuz you cant get instance from a remoteevent?

[hasty mesa]

instances must exist on both server and client for it to be sent

[uneven cypress]

it exist on both

[hasty mesa]

also what error

and check the prints

[uneven cypress]

They just doesnt work uhh

They printed out the instance and things

[hasty mesa]

print thejr full path

instance:GetFullName()

[uneven cypress]

Aight

[hasty mesa]

also you are checking arg.value then only printing arg

[uneven cypress]

oh nvm it work lol

thanks

(i lowk forgot that if i change stuff in client then only that client can see the stuff)

[solemn thicket]

Guys I need a generic script for a tween to be triggered by a remote event if you have done it please reply to this message or dm me

[gleaming jetty]

What are the benefits of using VS code for roblox

[deft coral]

version control and intellisense

[deft coral]

tweening what

scripts arent packaged products

too many specifics

[solemn thicket]

Part to target part

[deft coral]

local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local info = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingStyle.Out) -- edit to your desire
return function(p : BasePart, target : BasePart)
ts:Create(p, info, {CFrame = target.CFrame}):Play()
end

module script there you go

[solemn thicket]

Thank you

[scarlet yew]

yo guys

why is table acting weird

table.find is acting like its a function

yellow text

[solemn tiger]

Because it is a function

[scarlet yew]

i already fixed it

[solemn tiger]

Then why did you ask

[scarlet yew]

turned out you cant do table stuff in module script

[solemn tiger]

Oh

[scarlet yew]

old message

[solemn tiger]

Also

DO you know JavaScript

[scarlet yew]

no

[solemn tiger]

Ok

Wait

Do you have Roblox Studio

[scarlet yew]

yes

[solemn tiger]

Ok

Add me

I will ask you questions about Roblox API

[scarlet yew]

?

[nocturne ravine]

[scarlet yew]

ok

[solemn tiger]

Because I will be making Roblox studio myself

Because I am on chromebook

[scarlet yew]

what

[solemn tiger]

Yep

[scarlet yew]

you're making roblox studio on javascript?

thats crazy bro

[solemn tiger]

Yes

[scarlet yew]

tuff

[solemn tiger]

I will need to make every api

so I will ask you

Not now though

Thx

[ancient fulcrum]

How do I find a scripter for percentage?

[wet bough]

is anyone able to help debug my scripts

it shouldn't take that long. i have everything already written, i just need help fixing it

[junior axle]

just send ur code here or in #code-help

[wet bough]

it's a lot of scripts- i'd probably need to screen share since i have no idea where the issue is coming from

[stiff saddle]

#scripter-hirable

[toxic topaz]

does anyone know how to get all the gamepasses in a game?

[stiff saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-mushroom-cloud-atomic-bomb-bomb-boom-gif-4464831

[stiff saddle]

like pls donate?

[toxic topaz]

yeah I already have a method to get all the games a player owns so now I just need a method to get all the gamepasses a game has

[stiff saddle]

That's not that hard you just need a api and get the game pass i already worked for a game like pls donate ;-; and i only made the core system of that game like donate that

Server/Proxy

[toxic topaz]

all the apis I find don't seem to work

[ancient fulcrum]

I would like for percentage, I dont want to pay any money

[stiff saddle]

https://apis.roblox.com/game-passes/v1/universes/{universeId}/game-passes

[stiff saddle]

im a scripter but sadly i don't take % sorry

[toxic topaz]

how would I get the universeid

[stiff saddle]

that's the apu

api

[toxic topaz]

is that just the id you can find in the game link?

the universeid?

[stiff saddle]

wait this is a complex so like ill tell in short if u want me to make dm

let me tell in short

[regal salmon]

i don't think it's possible to do in-game (easily)

atleast it hasn't seemed that way

all avenues i found required some sort of authentication

so youd probably need a custom proxy

[toxic topaz]

like roproxy?

[stiff saddle]

yee

[toxic topaz]

is there any simpler way to get all of a player's created gamepasses?

like without getting all the user's created games?

[wary tulip]

Guys I did all work on a pls donate game but idk why i as the owner don't get the 10% tax but the other person gets it's 60% and Roblox 30% someone help.

[regal salmon]

is it owned by a group?

the game i mean

[deft coral]

not rlly

the gamepasses are linked to the experience

[tough hedge]

Guys where should I find resources for OOP

[regal salmon]

for learning oop?

[tough hedge]

Yeah

[regal salmon]

perhaps this will suffice? https://devforum.roblox.com/t/roblox-oop-object-oriented-programming/1639499

and this https://devforum.roblox.com/t/efficient-object-oriented-programming-tutorial/1061153

[tough hedge]

Thank you

[regal salmon]

youre welcome

[tough hedge]

Can oop be used for games?

[regal salmon]

of course

[tough hedge]

Ok

[ruby shuttle]

anything really

just make sure to not abuse it too muc

like 90% of the devs do

[tough hedge]

So like I gotta fix OOP with standard?

[ruby shuttle]

you can do main systems with oop and helpers with functional

it depends on the programmer

just keep coding and find your way to use oop

you will eventually find a correct way to use it

[wary tulip]

Yes bro it is Owned by my group

Should I transfer ownership to myself?

[regal salmon]

you cant lol

are you sure it's not just pending?

in your group

[wary tulip]

Idk ;-; i never checked in my group.

I'll see about it

[bitter harbor]

yoo

[regal salmon]

if the game is owned by a group then revenue goes to group funds, not your personal funds

[wary tulip]

I somehow have 70 rbx in my group funds tho

[regal salmon]

it still goes through the same pending process though

[regal salmon]

perhaps from the game?

[wary tulip]

Maybe

Premium payouts too

But tysm for your help

[regal salmon]

yw

[wary tulip]

I'll see to it

[wary tulip]

Checks dm's

[oblique willow]

if any1 needs a scripter dm me

[regal salmon]

No.

Free

[oblique willow]

yes

[nocturne ravine]

Fr?

Why free

[oblique willow]

its a one time thing, I have 5 years worth of experience with LUA

[nocturne ravine]

Oo cool If I need help i would probably dm you appericiate it

[tacit plinth]

yo

[lament mirage]

You can just make your own game

[oblique willow]

I need ideas, my brain was not made for brainstorming 😭 🙏

[lament mirage]

Look at literally any game on roblox and make their core game loop

Great for a portfolio

[oblique willow]

oh yeah you're right thanks man

thats good

i'll share some stuff with you in dms

[quasi urchin]

guys help is there a way to save player's changes to terrain so i can load it when they rejoin the game?

[hasty lion]

its so stupid that roblox decides its ok to just get rid of your model while your animating when you press backspace and not return it with ctrl-z

[sinful egret]

Who needs mentor in scripting? I can teach at an hourly rate

[opaque nova]

how long it takes to learn how to script ? like beginner to advanced

[daring dust]

😂

[drifting crag]

I'll take one, but is it free

[sinful egret]

few months, but it’s mainly practices

[opaque nova]

I see

[sinful egret]

If u want I could help you man

Lmk if ur seriously interested

[opaque nova]

aight for now imma look up for tutorial and documentation but If I need smth I'll hit u up

[sinful egret]

Ight bet

[magic grail]

Guys every few minutes in my game it asks to buy a rank in hd admin how do i fix that

[fickle python]

i sure love when the code doesn't error but doesn't work either so you just gotta question life while putting prints everywhere

[quasi urchin]

Guy i'm tryna create a script that clones the drill and makes it a negativepart and then it unions so that it creates a hole in the part, how do i make it work?:

local Drill = script.Parent

local PARENT = Drill.Parent

local Terrain = PARENT.Terrain

local DetroyCooldown = 0.1

local OnCooldown = false

Drill.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if OnCooldown then
return
end

if part.Parent.Name == "Terrain" then
    OnCooldown = true
    local DrillClone = part:Clone()

what the.....

[stone zealot]

"no scripts" yet theres 83160 scripts 😭

[frank zodiac]

The problem with most scripters. People aren’t inherently creative. Creativity is a skill you have to practice. The most successful scripters are those who know you can’t run out of ideas

[cloud marsh]

guys who need help in some things dm me

[dark flame]

yes

add it

[oblique willow]

Lmfao so real

[shy cipher]

I think you can't do solid modelling in scripts (union and negation)

@quasi urchin you can try generating what you're drilling using small components like cubes and run a raycast/shapecast/getpartboundsinbox/region3 loop to destroy the cubes in contact and simulate a drilling effect

[timid bramble]

goemtyr dash service
https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/GeometryService#IntersectAsync

basepart methods for csg also exist

[shy cipher]

where did this obscure ass service come from

how have I not heard of it

but still, all the negative parts and unions would turn your device into cheese

there's gotta be more practical ways to do it

[timid bramble]

performance is alright, responsiveness however is not

the method yields and sometimes it takes a while to complete

i'd suggest looking into editable meshes instead

though that is outside my expertise

[shy cipher]

all I've heard about unions is that it wrecks the tris and gives the part an impractical amount of it

[timid bramble]

yeah it can start getting pretty slow the more csg you do

[shy cipher]

can you elaborate

[timid bramble]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/EditableMesh

[shy cipher]

I need to start looking into these ultra edge case instances and services

anyway thanks

[timid bramble]

might be more complicated to use editablemeshes than its worth over just using the CSG engine

as long as you arent stacking tons of operations it should be fine

[shy cipher]

I still think dividing the object into many smaller parts is still more practical, plus you can make drilling effects with it instead of having the drilled part plop out of existence

[timid bramble]

heavily depends on the style of the game

[shy cipher]

it is, indeed, a drilling game

[timid bramble]

does it have a voxel art style?

[shy cipher]

you tell me

[heady spire]

is there way to get this module script in one line without using findfirstchild like twice? it just looks quite messy

[echo stream]

..just name the modulescript a constant like "AbilityModule" or something

then you can do

local abilityModule = require(RS.Abilities.Movesets[currentMoveset]:FindFirstChild(abilityName).AbilityModule)

[static coral]

just use []

then you can index it like so:
path[name][othername]

[sturdy seal]

how is this gore

[warped drum]

[hasty isle]

FindFirstChild() has another parameter for recursive search, set it to true for deep nest searching

local abilityModule = RS.Abilities.Movesets:FindFirstChild(abilityName, true)
abilityModule = abilityModule and require(abilityModule)

it's expensive, though. and the naming has to be unique. If you find yourself having to FindFirstChild more than once per item, IMO, it's better to restructure your files to be more accessible.

what am I doing wrong here

[iron kraken]

uh

can u put a comma in the print

[frail fox]

Buddy.

I'm half convinced this engine just decides to stop working half the time stg

[iron kraken]

i mean what is not working correct

cuz u can put comma in print

or too much space

[frail fox]

Ok You know what I probably should've elaborated

this is the issue

[iron kraken]

cuz ur doing it on server script

[agile wren]

Is it running on the client?

[frail fox]

no it is a server script

[agile wren]

You can’t get the local player in the server

[frail fox]

well shit

[hasty isle]

https://tenor.com/view/fig-gif-26092737

[frail fox]

(this is part of a model distribution script)

[agile wren]

You can get all players active on the game by doing game:GetService(“Players”):GetPlayers()

And to get the ones who join later you can create a connection like

game:GetService(“Players”).PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
print(player.Name..” joined”)
end)

[frail fox]

I'm assuming this gets multiple though which could be a issue

[agile wren]

Depends on what your code does I guess

[frail fox]

models being distributed are different based on their save data so I'm a tad bit afraid that could cause multiple players to share 1 model or something like that

I should probably just do this through a remote event

I vaguely remember there being a better way to do this

[agile wren]

The player gets passed automatically you don’t need to put it there

[frail fox]

[frail fox]

ok I'll be perfectly blunt I'm not really that Good at Making video games And The Project I'm Starting with IS decently large so I want to ask this

how hard would it be to make a script based animation system from scratch. like manually setting angles in the character's motor6d.

I know it's more time consuming but that's not really what I'm worried about

I'm more worried about it actually being able to function, since it's going to be used for the ENTIRETY of the game's lifespan however long that is

[frail fox]

like this is what I need:

• collection of motor6d angles
• compact enough to fit into module scripts
• able to played at any point, client and server

would it be easier to use normal animations like a sane human being? absolutely. am I going to? No

this is 1 thing I REALLY do not want to compromise on

for a couple of reasons

[shy cipher]

I'm making an apocalypse game engine sorta thing and am planning to make it a mix of functional (for the speed) and OOP (for the ease)

but I can't decide which style of OOP to use, inheritance or composition. which do you guys think is best for an entity object that supposedly will inherit/compose functions like spawn() and despawn()?

How can I get players inventory with a script with robloxs new api system

[edgy pike]

I'm starting to realize something with other people code, they tend to code lerp manualy instead of using math.lerp is there a reason for this.

[peak jolt]

No math lerp is just very new api and code may be old + people may not know about it yet

[edgy pike]

ok that is waht I suspected

I had doubts bc I know some stuff like vectors especially dot products are not greatly handled

but then lerp is just one simple equation so doubt they could get that wrong

[deep cypress]

i am making a incrementa game and am not able to get the formula to make the amount anything can spawn more so can anyone tell the formula which can help that its going to be like 49 levels

[north dune]

Can you briefly explain

[tame ibex]

nonlinear recurrence fn

[deep cypress]

so its like each level the amount goes up like for level 2 its 5 then for level 3 its 8 then 15 smt like that

[north dune]

Ahh the exp req increases each level

[deep cypress]

not those level but the upgrading ones

[north dune]

Ahh each level upgrade costs more?

[deep cypress]

yup

[north dune]

Whats your starting price?

[deep cypress]

5

[north dune]

You can try this formula 5+(level*0.25)

[cyan gazelle]

use a networking framework its easier to structure/organized

[modern seal]

whts tht

[tame ibex]

enefficient

in

[modern seal]

itss for a slopgame idcc abt being efficient !!

[cyan gazelle]

:l

[deep cypress]

its too low price

[north dune]

What about this

(5 x Level^2.2)/(Level/2)

[cyan gazelle]

so its really not that hard just use cookie clickers formula

everyone uses it

[deep cypress]

whats that

[cyan gazelle]

look up cookie clicker wiki everyone uses thier formulas

[iron kraken]

gagagagagaga

[cyan gazelle]

u can adjust just make sure you look in desmos for a visualizer

@deep cypress if u want for simpler understanding this is a formula: XP_to_Next = PreviousLevelXP + (PreviousLevelXP ^ IncrementRate) to use it un desmos do: f(x)=b * r^(x-1)

make sure u type it for the desmos one

[tame ibex]

1. dont use so called "module loaders"

2. use native vector not vec3

[tall sedge]

Oh?

[tame ibex]

3. flattern hierarchy

[charred sundial]

Excuse me for my ignorance, but what is native vector and what is the difference between native vector and vec3?

[digital abyss]

Yeah i think im using too much folders

[digital abyss]

Same

[tame ibex]

vector is the raw lib rvec3 does more work to get to it

vector fns faster than vec3

[charred sundial]

And how do you use them? Like how do you refer to them

[tame ibex]

vector.dot(vec,vec)

vector.cross

[charred sundial]

oh

[tame ibex]

vector.

[charred sundial]

should I start using vector instead of vector3?

or it's not that significant

[tame ibex]

dont touch vector3

[charred sundial]

Is it performance costing?

[tame ibex]

alot

[charred sundial]

oh

thanks for explaining!

[hasty mesa]

its the same work

creation is no diffrent

once diffrent is in function vs method calls

[tame ibex]

vec3.new is userdata means heap allocation gc

vec.create is native value

[hasty mesa]

so explain why vector.create(1,2,3).Magnitude is valid in roblox

and vector.create(1,2,3):Dot(vector.create(1,2,3))

and vector3 hasn't been heapallocated for the past 4 years

[tame ibex]

vec_mag>vec3.mag

vec_create>vec3.new

[hasty mesa]

create and new is the same

[tame ibex]

vec3 is userdata costs

[hasty mesa]

whats your proof that its userdata

[tame ibex]

typeof

[hasty mesa]

do it

show a screen shot

[tame ibex]

vec3.new construction overhead>vec.new

[hasty mesa]

also it should be type

[hasty mesa]

what overhead

they are both fastcalled

and create the same exact vector

[tame ibex]

if its typeof prints vec3 not vector it suggests its userdata

type printed vector

[hasty mesa]

yeah so does typeof(vector.create())

it would print a vector3

so are you saying vector.create is also heap allocated

[tame ibex]

1. construction paths are different and vec3 likely has more metadata

[hasty mesa]

both of them calls a fast call with an indentifier of 54

[tame ibex]

safety hcecks

[hasty mesa]

they call the same function

[tame ibex]

no

1. multiple onstructors can share same fastcall id

with different internal work

wait

[hasty mesa]

the getimport is the slow path

if thats deoptimzied

otherwise fastcall would just jump over the slow path

if it succeed

[tame ibex]

--!native
--!optimize 2
local oclock=os.clock
local v3n=Vector3.new
local vn=vector.create
local p=print

--local a=oclock()
--for i=1,iters do local b=vn(1,2,3) end
--p(oclock()-a)

local a=oclock()
for i=1,10^9 do local b=v3n(1,2,3) end
p(oclock()-a)

try this in studio

[hasty mesa]

also thats

not even calling the funtion btw

[tame ibex]

what

comment out to prevent gc messing up results

[hasty mesa]

what gc

v3 and vector isn't heap allocated

you are creating a constant vector

it knows its a constant

so there not even a funtion call

the only call here is the print

[tame ibex]

prevent limited cpu cache from first lloop messing up results

[hasty mesa]

yeah but the only diffrence youll see is the noise

they both generate the exact same instructions

[hasty mesa]

nvm

there isn't event a constant vector

cause it got optimzed out

all the test shows is how fast a for loop iterates 1000000000 times

[magic pagoda]

hey hao

how are you

[hasty mesa]

thought they were doing some bitpacking here which felt off

[hasty mesa]

good

can you help me solve something 🙏

[tame ibex]

i need that for my rainworld game

[hasty mesa]

what is it

[magic pagoda]

say im making a custom drag detection system based on mouse psoition (the object follows the mouse) from client to server. how do you think i should manage this because the mouseposition changes, and the only solution i can think of is a renderstepped connection and just firing remote events but thats pretty unoptimal

[hasty mesa]

thats not bad

just use an unreliable

[magic pagoda]

ohh yeah

i forgot they existed

[hasty mesa]

even with a normal

its not bad

[magic pagoda]

ok!!

thanks hao!

Holy you guys are frying me im new to scripting

[wild basin]

im so confused as to what you're actually trying to do

[orchid blaze]

thanks for the feed back

[orchid blaze]

It was a video

Im learning from

[dim topaz]

how i level up to bronze 2

[static coral]

play ranked

[brave cairn]

dont spam this in every channel

[dim topaz]

ok sorry

hi

[tame ibex]

hey want to do me a favor

can u tell them to read my scripter apps rn

[coral tapir]

Are replication frameworks a thing? Im trying to figure out the best way to have server authority combat/ability replication and perhaps even client prediction. Overall just something thats a mix of both client prediction and server reconciliation?
I understand replication but i am working on a big scale project and it is definitely worth researching proper replication to avoid performance issues.

Ive attached a little sketch to explain what i am talking about. Ive seen this in games like AUT, Battleground games, T://S and more.
Any feedback is appreciated

[brave cairn]

yea sure it's totally not holidays

[tame ibex]

well please tell them to quickly review mine

let them skim their eyes over it or smth

[brave cairn]

no thanks

[tame ibex]

ive been waiting weeks

@orchid blaze Have you actually dev exed before or are you pretending to?

[mossy lynx]

Im a scripter for hire dm me if your interested I take usd and robux

[frozen gazelle]

can you give an example

[orchid blaze]

its a username brah

holy

[coral tapir]

Any kind of ability effect replication with server logic

You see it everywhere but only some games have perfected it

[deft coral]

yeah there's several/numerous

server auth also is coming out in beta as a built-in solution for ppl to adopt

for visual fx theres also rather easy solutions like just cloning a vfx asset that has a client script inside it, no remote event needed

[coral tapir]

Could you link me anything? I really want to look at it

[final cargo]

any cframe nerd can spot the easy error in this code?

local x, y, z = weld.C1:ToOrientation()
local newCFrame = CFrame.new(weld.C1.Position) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(360*offset), y, z)

offset is a number value in the range (0; 1)

[frozen gazelle]

Im cframe hater. and you should bomb your cframe code

[solid dock]

Could someone help me set prices for these tasks so I can give a quote to my client?

Pet system, where the NPC follows the player

Pet equip and unequip system (with interface)

Pet attack system, where pets kill NPCs and the player receives money

Money interface, where killing NPCs gives a certain amount and the money value increases

Gacha system (with interface)

Pet stats system

[night igloo]

should i use findfirstchild to find remotes i have in RS?

[sweet herald]

how do I get the scripter role by using only one script with 200+ lines why dont they allow multiple

i need to comminucate with client

[tame finch]

does anyone know some game frameworks that i can work off ? Similar to aerogameframework but more up to date

i don't wanna spend too much time building a framework that might be buggy

[frozen gazelle]

thats what I'm thinking

[sweet herald]

thx bro

[fair cypress]

what’s the best way to handle player stats? For data store for example:

NumberValues with .Changed, Attributes with GetAttributeChangedSignal(), or something else? Feels messy making a bunch of NumberValues. What do yall usually do?

[frozen gazelle]

you want to save to data store or just to handle the player stats?

[fair cypress]

Yeah for example players have a stat called strength, something like that and it should be saved to data store aswell and edited to increase, is there an efficient way to do that? Or is just making numbervalues and doing a changed event

This doesnt guarantee a rational output

Orientation gives an approximation to recreate the current orientation, but it is subject to gimbal lock

Itll cause the solver to make a nonsensical or inverted representation (eg, 180, 90, -90) is nonsensical

Whats the actual problem you're attempting to solve?

[azure cliff]

is there anyone who knows how to setup module system for stats, im making mine and im not sure if im doing it right

[deft coral]

Replika, Chronos

Depends on the data being replicated, usually its focused on that

Like replika being for tables or soft data but chronos is for physics replication

[coral tapir]

Okay that is lovely i will have a look into these, i appreciate your help

[frozen gazelle]

attributes if you prefer performance over ease of access, and vice versa

also, you can't always make a request with data store due to the throttle limit

[fair cypress]

Do you really think im doing setasync?

[frail fox]

ok yeah I gotta bite the bullet and figure out how loops and pairs or whatever work

[frozen gazelle]

I'm juts tellin ya

[frozen gazelle]

yep

[peak jolt]

pairs is no longer idiomatic for anything only ipairs sometimes but its easier if you just always write for k, v in table

[frail fox]

there's a k now?? 😭

what does that stand for

[peak jolt]

wym now

you can call the variables whatever you want

[frail fox]

was this always a thing??

no I mean like

the for k, v

i -> number v -> variable

what is k

[peak jolt]

people use k as in key, i as in index, _ to discard, etc

it doesn't matter if you write k or i the same thing comes out

v usually means value

[frail fox]

oh that makes sense kinda

[peak jolt]

thats why its better to use descriptive names like
for shopItem, itemDesc in shop do
but sometimes if its an array you just write i cause its obviously an index (or _ when not used)

[gilded lava]

oh wow i remember you

[upper hill]

hello guys

[gilded lava]

i didn't expect to see anyone i remember still here

[upper hill]

can i ask if i watch brawl dev, lua advance series how much % i will know about lua programming?

[regal sonnet]

likewise

[upper hill]

so i will can make anything

[gilded lava]

do you still code? working on anything?

i remember frank

[keen comet]

-1%

[gilded lava]

i always thought frank was super impressive

[upper hill]

and why

[regal sonnet]

besides it being my fulltime job

I decided to revisit frank after like 5 years

[karmic solstice]

do you be my coder tutor?

[upper hill]

ok bro and since when u use lua?

[gilded lava]

oh wow thats nice to hear

im happy for you

[upper oar]

People actually profitable here or what

[regal sonnet]

What about you? You kind of up and went and I never really saw you again

[gilded lava]

i wrote a game with not much popularity, wrote a UI library thats a little more popular but my github is a sad state of affairs haha no commits for nearly 2 years

[narrow rapids]

hi

[gilded lava]

ive been getting back into coding the last few months working on in my free time a game idea pretty ambitious that i dont expect to finish realisitically but its fun to work on

it actually draws heavily on discussions i remember having with fingeroo about game design and different open-world persistent game ideas, i remember you being involved with those ideas at some point as well

[regal sonnet]

Yeah I remember that ahaha

[narrow rapids]

what im doing is

[upper hill]

since when u are lua programmer?

[iron kraken]

ieijijijijijaiogjeopijaeoijgaoijgea

[upper hill]

nice and how long taked from u to learned everything and to be smooth on in

[regal sonnet]

honestly, same

[iron kraken]
