[ashen birch]

And move the script.parent line above to

[trim bolt]

i just changed placement and it worked

[hollow wind]

wait what so I couldnt add to a existing script?

[trim bolt]

sorry guys wasted your time

[peak jolt]

workspace.Script.Source = workspace.Script.Source:gsub("print", "warn")

[trim bolt]

im a new scripter trying to make a ther floor is lava type of game

[peak jolt]

Ofc you can, Source ..= "\n-- This is at the end of the script."

[ashen birch]

Are you trying to make the lava floor grow?

[hollow wind]

alright

[peak jolt]

Nah bro sometimes you need a 2nd pair of eyes or in this case 3rd cause I missed it too see

[ashen birch]

Are you trying to make the lava floor grow?

[hollow wind]

wait I tried using that with console and it didnt do anything

[trim bolt]

im going to tackle that next, im going to have to add a timer system so probably 30 seconds. then it rizes to a certain level

rises

[ashen birch]

What is that while loop for then?

[peak jolt]

Let me try hold on

[hollow wind]

wait ima try asking roblox assistant first

[trim bolt]

idk, i should probably do an for i in range loop

or for y in range in this case

[peak jolt]

It worked for me, do you have team create on or something?

[hollow wind]

yeah I do does that matter

[ashen birch]

What are you trying to do then inside the while loop?

[peak jolt]

You must make sure no one has the script open in a tab before you do stuff like that

[hollow wind]

OHHHHH

[trim bolt]

i was just trying to make it rise to a certain level then come down

[peak jolt]

Look into tweenservice its much easier for this task in my opinion

It also ensures the level goes up smoothly and not in 0.5s steps

[trim bolt]

ok. i dont know anything about tween service is there a yt tutorial?

[ashen birch]

Yeah use tween service

[ashen birch]

Yes LOTS

[peak jolt]

You can try reading the head of this page ,its like a 10min read. If you still dont get it look up a video
https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/TweenService

[ashen birch]

https://youtu.be/GgCpbbSeHsw

This one is how I learned

[hollow wind]

wait @peak jolt is there a way how to detect which player has a script open so incase the script is open and it cant be modified it will warn something like "Username" has "ScriptName" open so it cannot be modified

[peak jolt]

Ehh this is where it gets really complicated and maybe even impossible unless everyone has your plugin installed but two pointers you can start with are

1. https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/ScriptEditorService
2. Look into "Drafts" mode for script collaboration (rather than live sessions), it's disabled by default but turns scripting into a more "checkout-commit" process rather than live edits and your plugin would possibly work with that

[hollow wind]

is it possible just to check if the script is open then?

[peak jolt]

For the local player yes absolutely, but i honestly have no idea if you can check it for everyone thats online. You would have to try out the stuff in scripteditorservice with a 2nd pc/2nd guy logged in

[hollow wind]

yeah thank you

[peak jolt]

FindScriptDocument tells you if its open locally

[hollow wind]

ok

[hollow wind]

I think GetScriptDocuments also works

yeah I need that because the plugin will be used outside of a script anyways

whole point of the plugin is not to script lol

[peak jolt]

Yes probably but you would have to filter/iterate, if your goal is to make a plugin that edits 1 script like you said then find will automatically correlate "is this LuaSourceContainer in an editor tab or not"

If your goal is to do a mass edit then i guess you could just check for #GetScriptDocuments() > 0 and display an error "please close all tabs before running the plugin"

[hollow wind]

its only editing one module script thats pretty much a table and adding something so its pretty simple

[trim bolt]

'''local y = 1
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local info = TweenInfo.new(1)
local Goal = {
["Size"] = Vector3.new(2048, 153, 2048)
}

--kills player on contact--
local function Getkilled(hit)
print("hit")
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0
end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(Getkilled)

--increases the size--
local Tween = TweenService:Create(script.parent, info, Goal)

wait(4)
Tween:Play()

wait how do you do the better notation

[hollow wind]

use these `

[peak jolt]

Or even better, you could just open the script using the service, and use GetEditorSource, ScriptDocument and ScriptDocument.CloseAsync, and then your edits would even work in live collaborate in team create with no issues

I know a vscode plugin that formats every file by opening editing saving closing it, your plugin could do the exact same thing

[trim bolt]

oh

[hollow wind]

very confusing u think u can take a look at my plugin code rq in dms or here?

[trim bolt]

local y = 1
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local info = TweenInfo.new(1)
local Goal = {
    ["Size"] = Vector3.new(2048, 153, 2048)
}

--kills player on contact--
local function Getkilled(hit)
    print("hit")
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0
    end
end    


script.Parent.Touched:Connect(Getkilled)


--increases the size--
local Tween = TweenService:Create(script.parent, info, Goal)

wait(4)
Tween:Play(

[peak jolt]

I mean sure

[trim bolt]

does this look good?

[hollow wind]

alright thanks

[trim bolt]

how do you adjust the speed?

[peak jolt]

The "1" in your TweenInfo stands for how many seconds it will take

[trim bolt]

oh

[peak jolt]

If you want to go back to a rate-based system (1 stud every 0.5s) you have to calculate a duration

[trim bolt]

time to add this to my lua notes because i am adding notes to every new thing i learn about

ok i like this now

is there oop in lua?

[hollow wind]

yeah

[peak jolt]

Yes kinda but you almost never want to use oop just because you like oop from other languages

You only wanna use it when the opportunity presents itself

[hollow wind]

@peak jolt can u check dms?

[trim bolt]

also what is modulescirpts?

[rustic hare]

module script is an table

[hollow wind]

its like a function where if you require it you can parse in variables to it and also used for tables

[rustic hare]

ye true

[peak jolt]

Its not strictly a table, on-demand function is a good way to describe it

You can return anything

[trim bolt]

ok

[rustic hare]

can someone help me with scripting? i made a whole note about it and ik how to use functions and other stuff but when i go scripting i dont know what to add next like please someone help

[peak jolt]

Keep splitting your task into smaller units until you recognize one/all of the units

[rustic hare]

well

uhm

if i wanted to make an cutscenes

i learned that u need to use cameratype.scriptable

for camrig

but if its for roblox camera

then its cframe

right?

currentcamera

mb

[peak jolt]

When you override cframe in a loop you can basically ignore camera type and most other camera properties, you are like hard forcing it anyway

[rustic hare]

the thing is

i dont understand while loop

and for i, v

idk what it does

[tame ibex]

is it not obvious

[rustic hare]

ik its loop

s

but whats the diff

[tame ibex]

noob

[hollow wind]

Google ai said this lol why didnt u look it up?:
In Roblox Lua scripting, for i, v in pairs(table) do is a powerful loop that iterates through all items in a table, assigning the index (position) to i and the value (the actual item/object) to v for each step, allowing you to easily process every element, like changing all parts in a folder or looping through players. You can rename i and v (e.g., for key, value in pairs(...)), but i (index) and v (value) are common conventions for clarity, with v representing the data and i its position or key.

[tame ibex]

should i cash in my robux now or next month

i still have millions left

[fallow tiger]

not always it depends on what you return

[fallow tiger]

index, value

[rustic hare]

oh

[fallow tiger]

so if you loop through 10 items in a folder, i would be the current iteration so lets say third iteration so i = 3. value would be the model

[rustic hare]

uhm huh

i just literally finished all of the playlist but one always bothered me and it is loops

no wonder i cant understand that shit

[peak jolt]

Sorry i didnt actually mean loop as in loop, I was referring to this specifically:

game:GetService("RunService").PreRender:Connect(function(dt)
    local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
    if cam then cam.CFrame = currentCutsceneCframe end
end)```this is just commonly also called a "loop" cause it runs forever

[rustic hare]

oh

alright so it ruins the runservice which makes prerender load the game before it runs the cutscenes right?

ruins

runs

[peak jolt]

No prerender is called every frame it just ensures that the camera is always where the cutscene wants it to be in every single moment no matter what the roblox camera is trying to do instead

[tall sedge]

You never know when Roblox might decide to terminate your account for “failure to comply with TOS,” just saying.

[rustic hare]

ohhhhhhhhhhh now i get it

[peak jolt]

When the cutscene is done you can call Disconnect like
local conn = Runservice...
--wait for cutscene to be over, e.g. task.wait(length), or any kind of event if you have one
conn:Disconnect() --this ensures the camera updates stop afterward

[rustic hare]

can u help me in dms?

[peak jolt]

I mean i dont think its gonna be faster

[ashen birch]

also go like this lua

put these `` 3 of them then type lua then paste ur code

[quaint thunder]

i made this yesterday, any pointers or suggestions?

[solar juniper]

if im making a script that teleports a player in front of the target how do i go about making the players HRP rotate to face in front of targets as well? still couldnt figure it out

[trim bolt]

i tried messing around and why wont the size go to zero?

[trim bolt]

i actually like the concept. maybe add like a tree falling down, golden trees, yknow the works

[glacial girder]

you can add like the bush of tree falls in void and the part become anctor = false and wait(0.3) destory()

[somber vault]

happy birthday

[quaint thunder]

i will thanks 🙏

[quaint thunder]

😥

[dusty bronze]

why don't we switch to pythonnn

[glacial girder]

or maybee like cut the tree the falling animation and destroy the part

[somber vault]

animations and maybe making shaking look better

[glacial girder]

iDK

[quaint thunder]

alright i understand that now

[quaint thunder]

any suggestions as to how i could make the shaking better?

is it too stagnant or like robotic

[trim bolt]

python is a relatively slow program compared to other programming languages.

[glacial girder]

python slow but good for machine learning

[somber vault]

more like 99 nights in the forest maybe

[trim bolt]

yeah, its useful like even nasa uses it but its lack of ability to directly access the hardware efficently is its weakness

[dusty bronze]

yeah actually. it's also the reason big games aren't made with it despite it's easy syntax

[glacial girder]

so why roblox not use javascript

[somber vault]

cuz javascript fucking sucks

[trim bolt]

i initially learned python and now im trying to learn lua

[trim bolt]

java is an actual nightmare

[dusty bronze]

well isn't it a feature rather than a weakness? that ability got deliberately removed for a reason as python is built on C (well idk I'm just rambling here)

[glacial girder]

java and javascript is difffrent

[trim bolt]

i mean javascript

[somber vault]

the only good language is brainfuck

[glacial girder]

javascript is main.js and java is class type lanugae

brainfuck : <<<<<<<>>>>>><<<<<<<>>>>>><<<<<>>>>>>

[somber vault]

binary is good too, brainfuck better tho

[glacial girder]

brainfuck created by Urban Müller when he drink vodka

[trim bolt]

its beneficial since its easy to understand and easy to implement, but its speed is its weakness. It was a sacrifice for the benefit of being able to efficiently use it. Its syntaxes are also what makes python super easy, but yet honestly kind of weird. I had a hard time adjusting to other coding languages for the reason of python.

[glacial girder]

so why roblox created his own language like rblxScript

[trim bolt]

wait, what even is brainfuck

I think roblox uses Luau

or some form of lua

[glacial girder]

if roblox uses brainfuck the roblox studio get banned

[ashen birch]

You dont need the while loop

[glacial girder]

there is spell mistake

script.parent ❌
script.Parent ✅

Lua is case-sensitive

[ashen birch]

you need to check if the first tween is done playing then play the second one

[glacial girder]

Infinite while true do

This is okay for testing but not good
Better to loop with control.

[solemn thicket]

Can some one please help me with how to make a tool not be picked up when the root part touches but when you click it

why isnt the position changing?

[solemn thicket]

it might be cause its anchored

this line

omg, i just realized i had them in {} instead of ()

im so stupid

Good job

function addpart()

    part.Anchored = true
    part.CanCollide = true
end

for i = 1, 10 do
    addpart()

also make it look better like this

make the line go out instead down

looks better, easier to read

[solemn thicket]

Lua

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool:WaitForChild("Handle")
local clickDetector = handle:WaitForChild("ClickDetector")
local canPickup = tool:WaitForChild("CanPickup")

local function updatePickupState()
if handle.Transparency > 0 then

if not canPickup.Value then
return

if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) then

Hero must eliminate traitor to win
Civilians can survive for 4 mins or pickup the gun of hero to kill traitor (if hero dies)

Twist : Better quality, detailed maps and evacuation helicopters will cinematically land on 3 sides of the map for evacuation. Civilians must get to the helis to survive.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_b1S7L1iTU there are three parts

[haughty moat]

i do not want to copy code

i wanna make em

so yeah

[torn star]

But you don’t know anything about it

[haughty moat]

thats why im here

can yall gimmie suggestions to fast track

any good tutorials?

[torn star]

Js use brawl devs

Tuts

He had a beginner one

Advanced

And one for ui

[azure granite]

yeah tbh just watch one of those long ass scripting tutorial series

[noble tartan]

yeo is it normal to have ur devex pending since the 9th?

[nova python]

is it your first time devexing?

cause first time takes a while otherwise it’s cause they’re on holiday break

[noble tartan]

first time

i got a tax error thing

cus ian put my full gov

n resubmitted the tax form on the 18th

[nova python]

it’s probably these 3 things that are delaying it for you, (error, first time & holiday break) if it takes too long you can contact them

make sure to contact the dev ex support email not the roblox general support one if you decide to

also if you’re not american it also takes longer for some reason

[void tusk]

probs priority since the majority of players are in US

[dapper timber]

anyone know if its possible to use AlignOrientation from a pivot

[grim rune]

is it really true that you dont need to use pairs and ipairs anymore?

[icy gale]

yes, but you should because they're more descriptive imo

[gloomy sierra]

anyone know what “!native” and “!strict” are?

[inland sierra]

any other good ways to format prints or yall think this is good?

[rugged glacier]

anyone understand audio api

[static coral]

yes

ipairs can be used to only loop through the numeric keys of a table tho but u shouldnt mix dictionaries and arrays anyway

[static coral]

native will compile functions into machine code before running them and strict will enable strict type checking

[static coral]

not really familiar with it but i think u need to use Wires

the instance

[frail fox]

I'm genuinely stuck on making this script and I don't really know what to do

trying to make a script based animation system and genuinely there is just 0 resources out there that help me At All it seems

it's supposed to be reminiscent of those like, old injection script animations if you know what I'm talking about

I can't really find anything to base something like that off of

I kinda have to do this before I do like, a majority of my game so I don't want to keep putting it off

if there is like. some kind of free model that you think might have something similar. or some tutorial that could still apply. Please Tell me

I am looking for anything

I've been trying to reverse engineer that one door script but that hasn't really resulted in literally anything

ykw ok I'm gonna start over from the beginning

starting simple.

what would be the optimal way to move a rig's motor6d via script.

because it feels like there's 12 million options and the 2 games that do this animation system do it in a really specific way that makes me worry if there's a reason for it

and if I fuck up the animation system updating the game could be complete and total hell

[trim bolt]

I’m trying to learn datastores so I can have something under my belt when I need it

[icy gale]

what value would datastores give you in a pinch?

I just use a well tested module from the devforum

[gray frost]

profileservice/profilestore

[drowsy ravine]

why is profileservice better than datastores

[ruby iron]

it's just better

wait no

it uses datastores

it's just a datastore handler

makes them easier to use

and a ton of extras like session locking, version rollback

and battle tested code

[drowsy ravine]

thx

[tame compass]

What if I want to make a system, with a 2D camera that follows 2 different objects and needs them seen all the time. I know, that I can just get a sum of the position of these 2 objects and divide it by 2 for the position of the camera itself, but how do I get a right FoV?

Like a 2D round based game with 2 players

or I could just change the Z Axis of the camera

Depending on the magnitude between an object position and the center of both objects

[cobalt rock]

I think a game I played called together does it by just changing the Z axis

[tame compass]

Ye, thanks, but I already came up with that

I think that instead of instantly asking for hints in this server, I should just think a little bit myself

It's still interesting to ask other people about how would they do something

Everyone has an unique style of problem solving

That's cool

[gloomy sierra]

i heard that native can be heavy in memory if overused, but it can increase script performance, especially heavy computational ones

[covert locust]

is it okay if i make 10 managers

or is that

way too much

[tardy path]

thats so cool, how do you do that

(beginner speaking)

[tame compass]

I probably should just mess with the way I calculate Z_Ofsset

For it to be more natural

[frail fox]

can someone help me understand what's happening here

what is All of this

feels familiar to something I've done in a different engine but I'm not sure

[tame compass]

dt is delta time
it's the time that was between 2 frames rendering

[frail fox]

ah

I'm a bit confused as to why it's only like a thing here though

tried using a bit of this in my own script and dt is undefined

[tame compass]

what

[frail fox]

oh yeah to clarify this game is open source

I'm specifically only using it because of the weird animation system that I refuse to not have

I kinda hate to just Copy but like There is no other resource on how to do something like this

and until I get the animation system working I can't do literally anything else

so I'd rather try taking a bit from a open source recreation that's a bit old than sit around banging my head against the wall effectively making no progress whatsoever

it's Butthole and I Hate doing it but like. I want to work on the Video game

and then the chat goes silent and everyone wonders why I take 3 days to make 1 system with no outside help with extremely small game dev experience

[tame compass]

I don't really understand what are you trying to accomplish

[gray frost]

Its industry standard atp lol

[tame compass]

Can you use DataStores if there isn't much player data to even save?

[gray frost]

if you want but profile store is just better

[tame compass]

In what ways?

I just didn't ever use it

[gray frost]

session locking which stops data duplication
easy af to set up, once you set it up once you just copy and paste
whole bunch of support easy to wipe, increment or set data
global updates

main reason i use it is 2nd reason

[tame compass]

Nice

I'll maybe use it in my future projects

Thanks

[cloud prawn]

anyone need models looking to build my portfolio

[static coral]

yes thats right

check roblox docs on it

[crimson juniper]

a

[icy bone]

Has anyone ever had Irish cream

Shit tastes like straight battery acid

[regal salmon]

i think you meant to send that in #code-help

[icy bone]

Yes

[sand wing]

are you using a runservice loop?

[regal salmon]

what do you mean dt is undefined

[zenith drift]

is there any opensource module for automating sanitizing user input? im think of creating my own cause im tired of all of the nil check boilerplate

[ornate flume]

Does anyone know why rojo isnt synced with my VScode?

[zenith drift]

config issue probably

[ornate flume]

anyway you could help me fix it?

[zenith drift]

nah

[ornate flume]

cool

[zenith drift]

isnt that just reinventing the wheel?

roblox already shows you the script and the line where it was invoked

with the prints

uhm sure

i dont know why would you care about how your prints look but alr

another thing is that if the print is on the server the link will no longer point to the correct line

so it might even slow you down

sure..

[silver verge]

make your log function a metatable with print as its __call and __tostring to your logger prefix

preserves the line

what

[abstract kite]

Its something that gets called everyframe and to reduce lag there are a bunch of functions built in to reduce it, with the multiplier it looks like some animation for an arm? Attack maybe?
And to reduce the spam there is a throttle.

[zenith drift]

id focus on more important parts of the game if i were you

[silver verge]

very true

[abstract kite]

Pretty much "I code it to spam then i add code to prevent spam"

[tame ibex]

inefficient

it sucks

it sucks

[thorn frigate]

i dont know why you would even need one

[indigo torrent]

Whats the best way to fully freeze a character? like their animations also frozen in place?

[thorn frigate]

anchor every part of their character

[indigo torrent]

thats not what i meant

[indigo torrent]

oh wow, that easily?>

thought it would be more than just anchoring lol

thanks

anyone got any scripting advice?

me when i wonder why my clients send is 100kb/s

[distant hamlet]

8 + 4 + 3 + 12 + 4 + 36 + 3 + 12 = 82 bytes each call

add remote overhead from client to server

82 + 9 + 5 = 96

now if my firerate is 30hz thats 96 * 30

2880 bytes/sec

wow thats less than what i would have thought

UM

ITS NOT OPTIMIZED RN

[feral spruce]

can someone make a game with me, i have all the building done

i just need the scripted bits

ive done gui

this is it

i need the scripted bits, ill do 40% of game revenue( 10% into an investor) so its gonna have guaranteed ccu

anyone?

[quartz obsidian]

where did you get all these bytes, i want to look tuff too

[wild veldt]

dm me what your game is about, i might be interested

yo guys

im bouta make like a magic spell typa system where u can cast spells like fireballs and lightning and life steal and shit what do yall think?

needs a bunch of vfx i feel like

review

[subtle sage]

yeah, im just tryna make it as flashy as possible tbf for my portfolio

[gloomy sierra]

relatable

sounds cool though

[subtle sage]

i dont have alot of vfxers out there that can volunteer to make me smth like that

i may just do it without vfx and add them later

[gloomy sierra]

there’s a couple of VFX discord servers that have free VFX

[gloomy sierra]

best approach probably

[subtle sage]

i mean i have a vfx pack for free, idk if it has all that tho

ill see rn and ill upd u

[gloomy sierra]

gl

[subtle sage]

ty

[icy gale]

Find some free vfx packs and put it together with the 12 principles of animation to make really strong effects

[subtle sage]

yeah as i said i have on

one

U won't find any good help on making them look good here

They're all just slapping together particles and seeing what sticks

so idek fr

[patent mirage]

Is it possible to track words like "fly" in voice chat and also start the command?

[wise turtle]

No

[peak jolt]

Yes

[tribal sparrow]

i have this weird problem

[peak jolt]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/beta-introducing-the-speech-to-text-api/4044579

[tribal sparrow]

whenever my animation plays. the hair doesnt stick to my head but when there is no animations playing at all it sticks to my head?

the rig im using is custom made and i think this is a scripting issue since im using a rig that isnt r15 or r6

[peak jolt]

Why is your hair a motor6d

[tribal sparrow]

it's not

it just does not stick to the head when the walk animaiton plays

[peak jolt]

What joint is it

[tribal sparrow]

?

[shrewd geyser]

thats crazy

[peak jolt]

The joint that connects the hair to the character

[tribal sparrow]

this what i got

[peak jolt]

There's no hair

[tribal sparrow]

there is, sorry if i sound dumb

and there's an accessoryweld inside the handle

[peak jolt]

Why is the head connec
cted to the hrp what

What does the rig look like

[shrewd geyser]

instead of welding two players together to for a dragging sequence on a downed player, should i just

• make the downed guy invisible,
• spawn a dummy with the same avatar,
• make the downed persons camera follow the dummy,
• and then teleport the downed person to wherever they get dropped off at?

or can i just set the guy whos being dragged to have no mass so that theres no weird movement

[tribal sparrow]

it has fingers rigged too

[peak jolt]

Yea idk if u or whoever but that rig is all kinds of fucked

Open the upper torso and screenshot that

And also what is in the RootPart property of the humanoid

[peak jolt]

What in the goddamn

[tribal sparrow]

im willin to pay if this is solved

ts been bothering me for a while

[peak jolt]

U better ask for a refund if u paid for this in the first place holy

This the most fucked thing ive seen

[peak jolt]

Can you make the front face attachment Visible and take a screenshot of what it looks like when you walk (when the hair is incorrect)

Its in the head

[tribal sparrow]

OH SHIT

THE ATTACHMENTS MOVE WITH THE HAIR LOL

[peak jolt]

Huh

[tribal sparrow]

The green ball is the attachment

[peak jolt]

Ok so what you have is two different armatures one with bones and one that roblox resolved with motor6d

And the head is essentially physically where the hair is and its just being deformed back to a normal pose due to the weight influence of the bones

And none of this is how you do this stuff unless I missed a memo

If you got this rig from somewhere and didnt touch it except for the hair and it looks like that then its somehow made to "look" normal for a showcase when its really fucked in practice

[peak jolt]

Could you try removing the hair completely and just having the attachment visible just to rule out the hair itself being the issue

[tribal sparrow]

the attachments do move

[peak jolt]

Theres still a way to fix the hair to be aligned with the visual head but it will fall apart completely if you add combat or anything because raycasts will not be accurate to the mesh. For example you can already see your name gui is also misplaced

To fix the hair you need to manually weld it. Do this by first getting the handle out of the Accessory, you cant do this with Accessories. Create a RigidConstraint in the hair handle, Attachment1 is the attachment in the hair handle, and for Attachment0 you need to do down the bone structure (the thing that starts with "Root" in the root part) until you find the head bone. That's your attachment0. Then put the hair (without accessory) into the character model.

The same fix can be done for the name gui by simply setting its Adornee to the head bone instead of the head.
However, there's nothing you can really do to fix raycasts and collision detection without fixing the rig.

@tribal sparrow

[tribal sparrow]

how do i fix the rig

[timid mica]

whst help do you need

[tribal sparrow]

ill lowk pay you

im not even joking

u can send a gamepass

[peak jolt]

It may be fixable but like i said if you paid for this rig genuinely you didnt get what you paid for and they should fix it for you

[tribal sparrow]

Ah

Im just wondering on how to fix it it's kind of an issue ive never faced before

        end

[distant hamlet]

pretty much the same

you could easily reduce the size of the action type (fire) and gun type (smg) by packing it into a single byte

2 bits for action (so total of 4 different actions) and 6 bits for gun type (total of 64 gun types)

with that you already trim down N dynamic bytes to just a single static byte

fyi each character in a string takes up a byte + vlq (ignoring)

buffers might have some overhead but its negligible

[mystic ether]

Can someone help me? Theres something that I touched in my workspace that resets the leaderstats but idk what..

[azure granite]

ngl i think it's because something in ur tool is not massless

or anchored

[compact echo]

too late but ty for respose ( i made new system )

[azure granite]

oh wait i didnt look at images

i thought u meant charcater teleport to cframe

[compact echo]

nope

the new system about only transparency

two sword the real one in the hand and fake one in sheath when i press they only change the transparency

[harsh isle]

how do people make those systems where its like

u can stand on the inside of a moving vehicle

and like jump around, not experience visual bugs

[sturdy kestrel]

i think there is no system about this

[fleet silo]

Looks similar but i think right looks better

[azure granite]

is there an os clock equivalent that doesnt change if server slows down

[onyx locust]

how do i learn how to code

[regal salmon]

documentation, youtube videos

whatever works best for you

[regal salmon]

what's your use case?

[fleet silo]

Youtube

[azure granite]

timing income generation

every heartbeat i call income generation methods with that timestamp

and in the method it checks if its off cooldown

[fresh lance]

YouTube

[regal salmon]

i think people use tick() for cooldowns
https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/globals/RobloxGlobals#tick

[azure granite]

it says tick() can be off by a second tho

[grand river]

am looking for somone who can make a leaderboard i wanna learn how to make leaderboards pls dm me @grand river

@severe merlin

[dusky relic]

In comparison to actual time,

Not compared to itself, it'll only differ by a few milliseconds depending on your cpu

[azure granite]

does tick() slow down tho

if server lags

[dusky relic]

wdym

tick() is local method?

If the server lags it wont affect the value of tick() when it's called on client

I don't think in general that tick would be substantially affected by lag

[regal salmon]

honestly i don't know what you mean by slowing down

tick() gets the current time in relation to the unix epoch, which is globally recognized

it can't be affected by server lag

the only way it could be inaccurate in the case of a cooldown is if the code is run late, not due to an issue with the method

[peak jolt]

It doesn't matter if its off by a second because for cooldowns you find the difference between current tick() and a past tick(). If both are off by a second you are still measuring accurately.

anyone knows about bitwise prmissions systems?

[grand crag]

oh u did for 2.5 years and u dont have a good port?

[subtle sage]

11 and 12*

[subtle sage]

not a bad port, i just dont have alotof projects on there

[silent wasp]

Hell naw

[subtle sage]

i started comms like 2 months ago so only like 5k

not bad for a mid port if u ask me

alr ima get back to working cyall

[silent wasp]

Could I see your port so I get an idea on how to build mine?

Or just to see ig 🤷

[subtle fractal]

Is there a way to turn a dictionary into an array

[silent wasp]

You could use for loop and put all elements of the dictionary in array with table.insert ig

[violet estuary]

yes

[merry kayak]

im curious why you want to turn it into an array

[tame ibex]

there's only 1

[subtle sage]

[subtle sage]

yes dm me to send u the link

[subtle sage]

of the grp

[silent wasp]

Bet

[subtle fractal]

so like

easy indexing

[merry kayak]

dictionary is easier

anyways you can loop though the values and add them to an array

[rancid burrow]

Fr

[merry kayak]

this way you will get the 0,1,2 indexing but its pointless

[fleet silo]

Hey! I dont know how to script, but yet i wanna script smth. How do I make a UI disappear when someone is in a group?

if thats possible

[subtle sage]

never worked with those stuff

gimme a sec

[subtle sage]

local groupid = 00000 (put ur group id tho)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    if player:IsInGroup(groupid) then
        (ui).Visible = false
    else
        (ui).Visible = true
    end
end)

i think

[tulip agate]

I already figured it! but thanks for the help any way

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

local GROUP_ID = 000000000 - group id here
local ui = script.Parent

if player:IsInGroup(GROUP_ID) then
    -- If the parent is a ScreenGui
    if ui:IsA("ScreenGui") then
        ui.Enabled = false
    else
        -- Frames, TextLabels, ImageLabels, etc.
        ui.Visible = false
    end
end

This was the code

[subtle sage]

oh alr

[lapis parrot]

can soemone explain why we use return statements

[peak jolt]

for example cause sometimes we wanna stop the code under it from running

[lapis parrot]

thanks

[gray frost]

to stop a function from continuing from past the return statement or to give variables calculated from inside the function

[lapis parrot]

tbh i dont get what u just said

can you simplify it

[gray frost]

local function getValue(part)
    if not part then
        return 0
    end

    return 1
end```

if you put something thats not nil or false into the brackets

it will return 1

because it exists

if it does NOT exist then it returns 0

idrk how else to explain

[distant hamlet]

it just returns

from the function

Looking for people who can help out for free to make a cool fortnite type game

[open quail]

LMFAOOOOO

[rustic torrent]

there comes a time in every devs time they need to ask for help from someone smarter than them, lowk tired as heck rn and i know it has to be something obvious, so I have this code snippet that provides a error "Main is not a valid member of PlayerGui "Players.myusername.PlayerGui", see ive checked and Main is infact "Member" of playergui, anyone got any ideas? Doing this from a regular script in which I assume thats where the issue is originating from.

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local success, data = pcall(function()
        return PackDS:GetAsync(player.UserId)
    end)
    sp = data or true
    
    player.PlayerGui.Main:WaitForChild("StarterPack").Visible = sp
    
end)

since code help is full of dumbasses and chat flooders/spammers and shit.

nvm

found the issue lol

[tidal bolt]

mainly to get a value out of my function

so if I have a function

function addTwoNumbers(a, b) 
  return a + b
end

local result = addTwoNumbers(4, 14)

if result > SOME_CONSTANT then
  doSomeFunction()
end

[regal pagoda]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[loud dirge]

local function math(type, x, y)
local result = nil
if type == "Add" then
result = x + y
elseif type == "Sub"

  result = x - y
end

end
local result1 = math("Add", 2, 2)
print(result1)
Output will be 4

[waxen wind]

Weird question :P, whats better , use camelCase or PascalCase for requiring modules? knit or Knit?

[gray frost]

why are you calling playergui from the server

[gray frost]

knit is ass

don't use it

fake hype

[pastel thunder]

First of all, you should have never used knit

Anyway, i prefer pascalcase

[somber vault]

What should I focus on to be a good scripter

what are you on

Hey, Im making a fisch/forge style game and i think it has potential. I am solo right now and am trying to find a partner because i am not very good at scripting (i can do literally everything else though). Its not a commision, just lowkey tryna find a friend to do this with. although, youll get up to half of the game earnings. DM me if you want to see the game or want to help

[waxen wind]

oh 😭

[waxen wind]

Thx :D

[wintry basin]

hi.. im using touchstarted, touchmoved and touchended to track thumb hold down position on screen to a variable... then im using viewportpointtoray and passing in the input variable.. this works great when im using touchtapinworld because it gives me the worldpoint.. but when im just getting the input pixels on the screen it is super inaccurate... how would i get the worldpoint in this scenario...

so how would i simulate the worldpoint variable inside touchtapinworld:connect(function(worldpoint)) when im using the input variables in touchstarted, touchedmoved and touchended... that way I can do camera:ViewportPointToRay(input.X, input.Y)'

[hexed quarry]

how do you write an aimbot in lua?

[peak jolt]

Literally just cframe lookat on the camera

[green pagoda]

didnt even use return

[gray frost]

what 😭

[cloud atlas]

ts lowkey beautiful 🥹

[weak flax]

so basically whats happening is i want to make anm auto roll button which auto rolls numbers and i want there to be a cooldown on when the auto roll auto rolls again and its just not working

[clear stone]

Hey you all, I want to make a game where you can spawn anything you imagine just by typing a description. The game connects to my external GPU to generate unique 3D models via Local AI Models in realtime and streams them directly into the server. Would that be possible?

[cloud atlas]

yes

make a web server for your gpu
retrun a result that your can process
use EditableMeshes to manifest the item

kinda interested to see how you make that work 🙂

very bare bones explanation on my part

[fickle python]

ok so hypothetically if i made a singleplayer game and had most of the game's code run on the client for the sake of no lag can people like straight up exploit and steal the entire game

[clear stone]

I already read about that

just not sure how to do that

[gray frost]

yeh

everything you can see and change when you press play in studio

is what the client can see

so exploiters

gonna fuck you up

do it on the client but validate stuff on the server

[fickle python]

if they want to cheat idc it's single player

the problem is stealing code

and then there's like 50 modded versions of the game

[gray frost]

yeh

code can easily get stolen

[gray frost]

😭

custom models are tough

you just gotta find the right point

[cloud atlas]

Which part?

If ur worried about the editablemesh part then you need to think of what a mesh is made up of

[open sparrow]

there is no right point

man ts so annoying

i have been trying since the start of the week to find a fix

nothing works

i wonder how there is no dev forums for this problem

i can't be the only one who has it

[cloud atlas]

The number is probably more precise

U should be able to narrow it down

[spice rivet]

c++ embedding lua

[fickle python]

time for ww2 style cryptography

[spice rivet]

i think it runs lua code from c++

[open sparrow]

0.8 seems to be the best option since it does not affect the movement at all but it makes it snap into the air when going down steep terrain

[clear stone]

I mean in the end my gpu server will send a massive code via api to roblox for the 3d asset but ill have to encode it somehow

[fickle python]

does roblox read my code like if i have a bunch of modules that are just ASCII art trolling whoever tries to steal my code will i get banned

[gray frost]

you're not

[open sparrow]

you have the same issue?

[gray frost]

yeh i ddi but i fixed it

[open sparrow]

how?

[gray frost]

just found the right hip height

[open sparrow]

that does not seem to work for me
