nop watching yt on profilestore

[karmic cobalt]

i know dont worry

im just cuirouis about amount

if for asym game 40 it too much

but i mean the game works, and players plays, no errors

no problem

and memory usage its not that hhigh

so o think

its fine

@ocean ferry yo you think 1 remote for 1 script its optimally option?

like one for exithandler one for generahandler etc

[limpid basalt]

what projects should i build to flesh out my portfolio more?

[ocean ferry]

Depends

https://tenor.com/view/haru-urara-haru-urara-uma-musume-uma-musume-pretty-derby-gif-2793500662525430389

Info pass can be just one remote

Depends on what u doing, but having too Many remotes its not at all optimal because client can have trouble getting and sending info

If one breaks can make a chain break of inf yield if info cant pass

But still works

Im not too advanced at scripting but my remote usage its normal on info read and pass

Not much remotes but if the info u want know its different from others u can do various, make sure ur remotes dont spams if u have Many

Hey guys I'm trying to make my portfolio and I was just wondering if yall have some recommendations for me. (I still haven't made it responsive for mobile and I am planning on adding more stuff)

https://portfolio-lg4f.vercel.app/

[karmic cobalt]

Is there any api in roblox that converts numbers to roman numerals or do I have to make a table 1 = I 2 = II etc.

[limpid basalt]

I'd probably do something like this

local RomanNumerals = {
  I = 1,
  V = 5,
  X = 10,
  -- etc
}

local function NumberToRomanNumeral(number) : string
  -- code for conversion
end

[candid quail]

how

[karmic cobalt]

so table

ok

[river sedge]

made the gamepass icons

Ig it can go to here because I scripted it

[lean lance]

Dear people of hiddendevs, how would you approach a system with lots of NPCs with their own pathfinding threads? I've been looking for a solution but they always have the worst optimization

[ornate needle]

Any got suggestions for a starter scripter, any easy systems to remake

[shut sorrel]

Don't use humanoid, build a rig and use a animation controller, apply physic movement using vector force constraint, keep it upright and rotate using alignorientation, this alone lets you use up to 500+ at least for me, or even take it a step further and use cframe list directly for the animations just takes more work to implement. Instead of everyone having pathfinding you can group together the bots to form a boid which all move as one unit, and apply your own pathfinding to that boid

[remote root]

what kind of use would remote events give

[limpid basalt]

client and server communication

[remote root]

ok and whats useful about that

[limpid basalt]

its in every roblox game ever

client handles stuff like key presses, vfx, camera controls; stuff from the player's computer
the server handles authoritative game state, data, physics, etc

search up client-server runtime and look at the roblox documentation

[slow hull]

son 😭

[stray flower]

teach ne

[sage phoenix]

can anyone name any examples of some modules I could create that are agnostic?

[limpid basalt]

stuff like topbar plus and profile service are agnostic

[slow hull]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/936087908631343105/1264988548126347317/squidward.gif

[sage phoenix]

i know about those two but im just trying to think of others that I can create as well

[fleet silo]

A tables module

[shut sorrel]

something that handles connection

[sage phoenix]

alright thanks

[sage phoenix]

like a networking module?

[shut sorrel]

like maid or janitor

[sage phoenix]

ah and cleans them up when necessary and so on?

[shut sorrel]

A networking module like packet would be a good project

[shut sorrel]

yes

[limpid basalt]

i was gonna say signal but there's already a lot of those

[shut sorrel]

Keep track of connections, disconnect when not needed

[limpid basalt]

but it is good for learning more about networking

[sage phoenix]

signals are like a replacement for BindableEvents right? or something along that line?

[limpid basalt]

yeah\

[sage phoenix]

ok so:

Tables Module,
Networking Module (e.g Packet)
Signal Module
Maid/Janitor (Connections Handler/Cleaner)

[fleet silo]

If u dont mind me asking why do u wanna make these modules

[sage phoenix]

I want to enhance my knowledge mainly and be able to constantly create more things that can be beneficial to me e.g Utility Modules and Systems/Services that I can just add in to anywhere and work

but mainly this is all just a passion thing for me as I code for the fun of it and want to learn more

[fleet silo]

Ahh

Well this is a great way to learn

[shut sorrel]

I would say think of making a project that needs you to make a module like that too, just more of a motivation and good way to test it in practical use

[tough belfry]

Hi guys . I am currently creating a checkpoint system for obbies and I would like to know if collections service should be used or if I should use a folder to store the checkpoints . Thanks

[ember nimbus]

the reason they are preferred over bindable events is that bindable events serialise the data you pass the same way it does when sending over the network which has perf overhead and also strips metatables & makes copies of everything

also iirc bindable events have annoying scheduling behaviour

the bindable event serde thing is probably inheritance's fault

[thorn arch]

hey @grand crag, i ran into this error

seems odd

cant trace it

@iron kraken you ever seen this either?

[graceful delta]

not really code r dev related but, is anypone else having issues with avatars?

keep spawning like this

[peak jolt]

noob

[elder wyvern]

does anybody know how I can have my StarterCharacter have my actual avatars stuff

like accessories, skin color, shirt and pants

[silk ember]

guys where can i find the best scripters for my game?

[daring dirge]

in a game dev server

[peak jolt]

[teal bolt]

im trying to figure out vpfs and im trying to recreate a player health/energy bar with character display that copies the player movements.. but everything i try isnt working.. anyone know how to do this? i can send a reference over if you want

[iron kraken]

did u make sure to call react.createelement

u can prob find the bug if u just comment stuff out

[thorn arch]

i believe so

[thorn arch]

I commented out a ton of stuff but its still happening

began happening after i set up a few nested context providers

[fringe chasm]

local tool = script.parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playerstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local coins = playerstats:WaitForChild("Coins")

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    while true do
        coins.Value += 1
        wait(1)
    end
end)

Players.BuilderOverGuardian.Backpack.Coin.Script:3: attempt to index nil with 'WaitForChild'

bruh

[limpid basalt]

is it a local script or a normal script?

[fringe chasm]

my bad.

i was using script

thx

[last knoll]

Anyone know how to make the camera move in a main menu??

[limpid basalt]

allg

[fringe chasm]

btw do you think if i learn scripting fully, ill be earning decent?\

[limpid basalt]

im not sure what you mean

[limpid basalt]

if anyone learns scripting fully they'd be decent, keep at it

[last knoll]

like you know in a main menu, when you move your mouse and the camera follows along

[fringe chasm]

you made games?

[limpid basalt]

ohh yeah, umm search up "camera follow mouse effect roblox" and check the devforum

[limpid basalt]

i havent made a full game before cuz i cant animate, build, model, or anything else but ive made systems with scripting

[fringe chasm]

you earned good?

like if we compare to a cashier in mcdonald or walmart

becuz uhh im 20 and i quit everything to start earning online

[limpid basalt]

ive just been honing my skills for a couple years now and im 16 so i dont have many opportunities to get work doing roblox scripting

[iron kraken]

tuff

1 bajilion dolar pasive incom

[limpid basalt]

you probably should've learnt scripting for longer before quitting lol

[brittle hinge]

Has anyone who has posted on the #scripter-hirable channel got comms from there, I want to know wether its worth it to get it

[iron kraken]

u make more money from a regualr job bru

[fringe chasm]

not really i quit, im still doing law school but uhh there are several exams where i can land a good administration job but pay is low
i quit preparing for those
so i can earn here instead and be free by 30

to explore the world

[iron kraken]

lol

only way is to make a game

[limpid basalt]

top .1%

good luck bro

[twilit widget]

homie quit this andrew tate stuff get your degree than do what ever you want

[iron kraken]

it can be good

[fringe chasm]

not really 0.1% if you think bout it
most devs quit after 2-3 failed games

[iron kraken]

but u dont know how to code no?

[fringe chasm]

i do know
ive adapted to basics in a 2 days and went to advanced

[iron kraken]

ok

[fringe chasm]

could take 5-6 days for advanced

then ill start making games ig

[iron kraken]

prob cooked ngl

[limpid basalt]

how many games are there on roblox that would've made the developers money the could live off of

there wouldnt be that many out of the total number of games on roblox

[iron kraken]

1k is enough

[fringe chasm]

more then 500

1k id say

[iron kraken]

1k ccu u can make a living off of

[serene zenith]

you went to roblox game dev instead of law school?

[limpid basalt]

500 / 40,000,000 is still super low

[fringe chasm]

no

[limpid basalt]

like, stupidly low

[twilit widget]

it dont work like this this

[iron kraken]

i dont think its that hard to get 1k ccu

[fringe chasm]

i assumed those numbers

it could be alot more

[limpid basalt]

it probably is

[fringe chasm]

10k realistically

[limpid basalt]

lets say 20,000

20,000 / 40,000,000 is top 0.05%

[fringe chasm]

there are those 100 ccu low laying games we wont know which provides some devs 200 a week

[iron kraken]

not long term

maybe for 1 or 2 months

and 200 is high for 100 ccu

[serene zenith]

1k ccu with insanely good monetization, maybe

[iron kraken]

not rlly

[fringe chasm]

yea, thats like a good amount to start more games

[limpid basalt]

youd make more with minimum wage no?

[fringe chasm]

not really, i dont live in USA or europe

[iron kraken]

about the same

and its easier than working

[limpid basalt]

albeit rarer to get

[fringe chasm]

and It also depends on the games

[iron kraken]

everything is luck

[brisk spindle]

im thinking of using an external code editor should i try using argon or rojo (I got like 3 years of experience of coding in normal studio)

[fringe chasm]

why are we assuming statistically

[iron kraken]

tbh roblox is prob more fair than getting a job

[fringe chasm]

if game is bad, ofc its one of the 99%

to be with 0 ccu

[iron kraken]

it dont think theres much of a difference but rojo is like the most popular

and its easy to setup

[fringe chasm]

and one thing i know is, never make passion project your first game lol

try out some simple fun ideas

[limpid basalt]

idk prolly rojo cuz its more industry standard than argon

[brisk spindle]

ight thanks

[fringe chasm]

id say you are wrongg

idk-

concept of the game also matter

which can make the chances higher

[limpid basalt]

you could have the best game idea and best execution of it but it could still go unknown

[honest pagoda]

yall i want to make a npc movement system that controlls the movement of around 40 npcs how would i do it the best way

Move on the cilent? bc i want so the server does not lag

[fringe chasm]

feedbacks also matter tbh

[iron kraken]

move on client and ecs if necessary

[honest pagoda]

how would i check on server where the npc is tho

thats the thing

i still have to know where it is

[iron kraken]

networkowner ship auto replicates the npcs position to server

[honest pagoda]

bc i want less lag on this

[honest pagoda]

so use networkowner ?

[iron kraken]

yea

[honest pagoda]

mhmm i will look into it

what could a exploiter do

[limpid basalt]

i didnt even know that fr

[iron kraken]

i dont think its exploitable anyways unless they change the roblox game code

[limpid basalt]

ive never looked into network ownership

[fringe chasm]

this trend of making sloppy copy paste games started after 2020
2019 was roblox peak of unique games

i hope it ends soon

[honest pagoda]

Mhmm Alright

well thank you kind sir

[iron kraken]

which means they have to change the code from the assembly code which is pretty hard

[limpid basalt]

@iron kraken look at the docs for network ownership

it says under security concerns that roblox cant verify physics calculations when a client has ownership so they can exploit it

[honest pagoda]

oh so what would be the best way?

[limpid basalt]

you can use it but the only concern is that they could fling npcs out of the map which i dont really think thats that much of an issue given the big performance increase

[honest pagoda]

yeah but still,

i want good performance and not easly to exploit

well i will see

[limpid basalt]

im sure you can do server checks and make sure the npc isnt out of the map or something

[honest pagoda]

yeah you right

[fervent lintel]

how do i replace a default anim with a custom anim, my custom one has priority idle, it's in r6 and my game is in r6, i copy and paste the "animate" script into startercharacterscript, i go to the idle thing under animate and paste my id, and i also go into the script and replace the default with my custom id, but it still doesnt work

[iron kraken]

yes but u can verify it urself yea?

what im saying is the client giving the server a fake position that isnt the actual client position

that would be very difficult to do

[deft aurora]

Who tryna crack

[glass pumice]

slide in

[elder wyvern]

does anybody know how I can have my StarterCharacter have my actual avatars stuff
like accessories, skin color, shirt and pants

[deft coral]

apply humanoid description

[vapid wedge]

There is an animation object inside of the idle value. Paste the animationid in there.

[fervent lintel]

its calm i figured it out, i set the game to r6 but apparently there was a diff option to "r6 only"

i think i got one of the two wrong

[bleak glade]

what if I’m not using humanoids

[shut sorrel]

you use it anyways then remove the humanoid afterwards

[deft coral]

[north dagger]

modules are the best creation ever

ima glaze so hard rn

[rich moat]

I spend more time watching tutos than scripting

[eternal solar]

yea

[eternal solar]

i still got like 6 more tutorials until i get to modules

but they sound fun

[rich moat]

I said that cuz I don't script man

[north dagger]

u gonna love them bro

once u understand OOP and start trying to do some systems u gonna love them

[eternal solar]

can't wait, but they do look pretty complex

[mossy pagoda]

hey does anyone have anything i should code? cuz i have a lot on my mind rn and want to code something, so if you need something for a game or anything let me know.

[north dagger]

they could be complex depending on what you´ll develop but they are easy to understand

[eternal solar]

alr thats good to hear

[junior jackal]

[brazen pelican]

OOP in lua sucks

[north dagger]

why?

i personally love it

[brazen pelican]

lua was never made with the intent for it to be an object oriented language, just because it supports it doesn’t mean it’s good

like yeah, it’s good to have as with any language, but that’s where the good things about it ends really

i personally find lua misses a lot of things that C has, considering lua is a C based language

[twilit widget]

[lusty ivy]

can any1 help with my script

[fleet silo]

Why we using pastebin in the big 26

[fleet silo]

What do you think is the better paradigm

[dark roost]

Well

Well

Well

[regal salmon]

i think you mean to be using carpetGroup and mainGrassGroup instead of carpetId and mainGrassId on those lines

RegisterCollisionGroup doesn't return anything, so setting a variable to it will just be nil

[wispy tendon]

where is the collisiongroup editor?

[fleet silo]

You may have to add it to a tab

[mossy karma]

i remembering seeing a while back that someone said PlayerAdded:Connect(function)end) was bad but i forgot the reason, does anyone have an idea why?

[spiral monolith]

Yeah cuz the syntax is incorrect bro

[mossy karma]

yeah

i was trying to condense it

[spiral monolith]

Other than that its actually fine there’s nothing wrong with passing in an anonymous function

It might just be better in some instances to write the function seperately and pass it in the connect method so you can run the function whenever you want

[mossy karma]

speaking of which

is there a way to pass a variable if its needed?

for instance: Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

doesnt player need to be passed like: onPlayerAdded(player) or something similar?

[regal salmon]

all variables sent with the event will be sent to the function, so long as the function can take them

for example, that code will send the player to your method

but if it sent two variables, but you only allowed one in your function, you'd only get the first

[mossy karma]

so theres no need to create an anonymous function just to run the function with variables, right?

[regal salmon]

correct

[mossy karma]

sweet

[wise stratus]

I am having issues to decide if I should play animations locally or on the server.

If I play it on the server and a player joins late they will still see the animation, but if its server -> clients and another client joins after will they miss the animation?

unless roblox does something behind the scenes my brain says that the new client would miss the animation

[wispy fossil]

would you not run the anims server side and send an update to players on the client to let them know what part of the animation it's in?

or that the animation started or whatever

[regal salmon]

if you want it synced across all clients or to play on every client even if they're new, i'd go server-side
however, if you don't want that, or need it synced with client-side events (e.g. a cutscene), then client-side
new players will NOT start the animation automatically when they join unless there is an outside factor set, like a boolvalue or something
but you can remedy this by just sending the remoteevent or whatever to the new player when they join

[brittle spade]

3000R$ or 5k

i mean everything needs to be perfect

uis, scripts

[potent cargo]

i neeed help

[zenith sierra]

im a beginner scripter, what are modular scripts really used for

[uncut nest]

Basically a script that contains functionalities that can be used (using require) by another scripts. Think of it as a toolbox that contains many tools

[brittle spade]

also data

[fallen depot]

how much do you know about tables?

[zenith sierra]

i know what they are

[fallen depot]

the best way i could describe modules is that they're like tables turned into instances

you can store a bunch of information inside of a module like a table and that includes stuff like functions

its really good for organization & it's a vital knowledge spike for development

so, for example if i have a modulescript that looks like this for example

local Module = {}

function Module.Test_Function(A, B) -- We can put a function in this module.
  print(A + B)
end

return Module

i can then have another script, whether it be a server script or client script

local our_module = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Your_Module) -- this just assumes our module is located in ReplicatedStorage

our_module.Test_Function(6, 2) -- will print 8, because the function adds A & B

[fallen depot]

important note tho, to use the module you need to require it as shown here

you cant just do local our_module = game.ReplicatedStorage.Your_Module

you need to require it

modules are very useful for organization because when you have a bunch of scripts, you might notice that some of your scripts will need to be doing the same sorts of functions as other scripts and it's annoying and repetitive to retype it all

having a module allows you to condense a bunch of functions (like for example if you wanted to make some sort of module dedicated to using specific math calculations) and allow them to be reused anywhere

i hope that summarizes it pretty well

[slender yew]

why are anims in roblox studio so unreliable, sometimes it plays and other times it doesn't what could be the reason?
I have

• the animator
• animation variable
• animation track

only thing that I didnt set is animation priority, but why would it only sometimes get overriden?

[slender yew]

imo that was the best summary I've read of module scripts

simple and straight to the point

[stoic monolith]

I think you forgot the

game = works

[slate shuttle]

I want to start learning coding from 0, do you have any tutorials you'd recommend or advice? :"]

[stoic monolith]

Well..

I can help you out if you want.
Just read the documents and if you need to, look up a tutorial

You might pick up bad habits from a tutorial, so it's best to play around and look around on forums and discussions after learnign something new!

[slate shuttle]

what documents, I'm wondering?

[dusky kestrel]

bad habits just comes with learning sometimes

[slow drift]

err

have you tried

learning how to code

i mean, youre not going to be sucessful by following tutorials blindly

[dusky kestrel]

Anyways, anyone know how much your able to invoke on the client? Trying to see if it's possible to get even a slightest of detections for when executors inject

[stoic monolith]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/luau

no coding language comes iwthout a document! ;)

[stoic monolith]

Not possible

[slow drift]

telling begginners to read docs

[stoic monolith]

most (good) cheats put themselves onto the coregui

[slow drift]

is a death sentence

[slate shuttle]

oh, thank you, didn't know that

[dusky kestrel]

Wasn't that locked?

[stoic monolith]

I was told to read the docs and I made it just fine, so.. uhm...

[dusky kestrel]

or only for developers

[slow drift]

1. docs will only teach you well if youre already a programmer
2. docs will only teach you well if you dont have an attention span problem which most people have

[dusky kestrel]

Not to mention, some of the docs are really poorly worded

[stoic monolith]

I'm an pentester, you can put stuff into the coregui.

[slow drift]

yeah and theyre in complex english aswell

with technical terms

[stoic monolith]

I don't know if this is doable in roblox localscripts

[slate shuttle]

i just want to try every hobby possible idk
I've already tried drawing digitally, painting with watercolour/gouache/pastel/charcoal, sculpting irl, sculpting in blender, making music, making 3d gfxs, voice acting, animating, dancing.. uh forgot what else
And now i wanna spend a few months engaging in coding

[dusky kestrel]

guess it's going back to making anti-cheats that'll be bypassed in a day ¯_(ツ)_/¯

so tired of roblox

[stoic monolith]

The most you can do is try to limit stuff that otherwise wouldn't be possible

but stuff like esp, etc, well....

[slow drift]

why make anticheats

just dont make them

[stoic monolith]

Have fun coding!

[slow drift]

its a waste of time or resources

theres such a tiny amount of exploiters

its pointless

[slate shuttle]

Thank u!! I hope I won't abandon it after a few weeks lol

[stoic monolith]

Perhaps it's best to consider that you barely see exploiters because they don't reveal themselves and anticheats on other games limit them ...,.,?

hehe

[dusky kestrel]

Trying to make my current project something competitive, and exploiters will just ruin the fun of it all

[stoic monolith]

nodnodnod

I hate exploiters on competetive games!

[slow drift]

add a report button

[stoic monolith]

If you need any help shoot me a dm :P

[slate shuttle]

Okej!! Thank you very much

[austere egret]

if player joins
hacks = off
end
end
end
end

[dusky kestrel]

I do not trust roblox players enough to even consider this

[slate shuttle]

I sometimes dream I'd collab with someone who codes and would make 3d and 2d art for their game, but then i remember i dont have friends who code 💔

[slow drift]

you dont see exploiters because of robloxes anticheat

[stoic monolith]

I literally pentest on the raw roblox player client on my own projects and games and it works o.o

[dusky kestrel]

roblox has it where if you exploit on your own game then you'll be fine

other games you'll be met with like a one day ban at most

and by that point there already on another alt

and using a VPN

[stoic monolith]

and.. your source for this is wheree...?

Also, I can inject on the homepage

• my ESP loaded in on other games (I didn't use them and left, I am ethical :D)

[dusky kestrel]

update from 2024

[stoic monolith]

I want a link to this, I can't find it.

[stoic monolith]

owhhh

[half rune]

you could try a tf2 type kick function where if everyone in a server votes to kick the player gets kicked

[low skiff]

fr

[half rune]

its what i'll do if i ever make that tag game

[dusky kestrel]

can't seem to find it either, sorry

[stoic monolith]

Well, I certainly can't take it as true, but I can't dismiss it either...

oh, well!

[dusky kestrel]

source: trust me bro

[slate nova]

the tutorial system, not a tutorial

[smoky gust]

why is no one hiring bug fixer in #scripter-hiring

[dusky kestrel]

what bugs you experiencing?

oh wait

read this wrong lol

[slow drift]

oh lmao

[slow drift]

why would you do that

if you have a bug just ask your existing scripter to fix it

[peak jolt]

They absolutely are just look for posts like "need someone to finish a game here and there" they usually have either a lot of bugs or need new updates scripted

[torpid junco]

HD is the only place where someone gets hired as the role "bug fixer"

[junior jackal]

[spice venture]

FINDING GAME SCRIPTER FOR GAME

[ornate gazelle]

Snap back to reality

[teal yacht]

lol i had this attention problem back when i was learning scripting, and i couldn't read 1 doc bc of this + my english, now that i am on college and learned how to study and control this attention, i basically reserved lol, i love reading any docs any when i watch some video teaching something i usually get bored

I'm learning the theory behind it and i am basically learning lua again bc i am finding so much things that i didn't know bc i just coudn't read one doc without losing attention

i save my understanding on obsidian of each topic

[slow drift]

i have an attention problem so i aint reading allat text especially since most of it is bloat

[north robin]

Wassup dear scripting fam, I´d have a question... how did you all start out on scripting and do u have tips for me; im just starting out!

[fleet silo]

I think beginners shouldd watch a lesson on youtube and use docs when theyre practicing on their own

[north robin]

documentarys?

hmm do you have any videos or smt?

[mossy karma]

whats the best way to detect collision with a player and a moving part like a sphere? i need the player to ragdoll any time they are touched by boulders, but .Touched isnt reliable and in my experience causes a lot of lag

[fleet silo]

Try using zone modules

[mossy karma]

i havent learned what those are yet 🥀

[fleet silo]

Its open source modules

[steel condor]

what i did was i found a copy of a game i liked a lot and kept experimenting with its code until i started recognizing stuff and eventually figured out the basics of scripting that way, but i think the best way is to learn the basics the normal way (watch a youtube video, read documentation, something like that) and then enhance your skills by practicing, and whenever theres something you dont know look it up in the devforum and try to understand how it works

also im decently experienced with scripting but i have no idea of what i should make to show off as my work, i mostly just have a bunch of different places i use to practice so i can't display anything interesting as my past work

so does anyone have any idea of something i can do that would show off my scripting skills while not having to use assets i can't make myself (models, vfx, etc)

[ivory dragon]

is it possible to do player to player transactions within a game with robux, like trading it

[deft coral]

No you cannot trade robux

[ivory dragon]

Can players within a game trade items for Robox currency - where one player sells an item and the other player gets the robox currency?

[ivory dragon]

ah ok

[thick quest]

Discussion

[north robin]

how is one even suppose to showoff their scripting knowledge

[ivory dragon]

not possible at all? whether against or with tos terms?

[thick quest]

At all

[steel condor]

thats what im trying to find out

[thick quest]

• its against tos

P sure

[deft coral]

The only way to trade is to let people buy each others gamepass

[thick quest]

I mean it could work but not sure that its a good thing tonimplimrnt into a game

[deft coral]

Which i do not suggest as its against tos to do it like that, and the cut roblox takes makes it take out too much from the trade to be worth it

Thus u cant rlly make a game around it

[north robin]

well just make a game with a lot of stuff u scripted

[thick quest]

^^ so yeah give up the idea

[steel condor]

uh, the issue is i'd need to make up a game idea that can be made from 100% scripting

[north robin]

doesnt have to be a completly game u can just make a weird mix of all of it

not like its suppose to be a whole game just scripts

[steel condor]

i see

[green smelt]

.

[near wasp]

if anybody knows how to. a grid placement system dm me

[deft coral]

Just do math.floor to a divided value

[near wasp]

can u help me

[deft coral]

That is the help

[near wasp]

ik but its confusing dm me

[deft coral]

No

[fleet silo]

Very helpful

[karmic cobalt]

yo If i'm able to insert ugc from marketplace via insertserivce, i can use them in my game as killer skins ? due to new roblox ugc tos, When I tried insert one face it was "you not hhave permission to insert this asset" but rest i can insert freely

[junior ridge]

does anyone know how to make it so the animation keeps its position after it ends?

[steel condor]

be more specific

[steel condor]

you COULD set the animation speed to 0 to pause it as soon as it reaches the last keyframe, that's probably a really hacky method though

i'm not sure if theres a better way to do it

[junior ridge]

like this?

_animationTrack.Stopped:Connect(function()
_animationTrack.TimePosition = _animationTrack.Length
_animationTrack:AdjustSpeed(0)
end)

instead of the stop, i can use getmarkerreachsignal?

[steel condor]

maybe that works? try it out and lmk how it goes

[junior ridge]

alright

[steel condor]

if you add a marker to the last keyframe then yeah

[deft coral]

To a coder yes

[junior ridge]

nah it doesnt work

it still snaps back to the original position

[steel condor]

i see

[north robin]

can someone explain me what "returning" is i dont rly get it

[peak jolt]

like when you come back

[north robin]

no in roblox lua haha

[peak jolt]

when you come back out of a function

[north robin]

i dont get the point of return+

[peak jolt]

to where it was called

thats returning

[junior ridge]

like returning in functions?

[north robin]

yes

i dont get it

whats the point of it

[junior ridge]

here let me show you a piece of code

[north robin]

im watching a script guide

[junior ridge]

i d'm you

[north robin]

local function hi()
    print("hi")
    -- Scripts bla bla bla
    return "Awesome"
end

hi()

local hotdog = hi() 
print(hotdog)
``` this is the example

i dont get what the point of it is

[brazen pelican]

hello watching a script guide, i’m em, nice to meet you 🤝

[junior ridge]

you basically return a value when you call the function

[north robin]

wow

[north robin]

wait

[junior ridge]

so when you call that function, you would get a variable of what you returned

[tough kettle]

anyone have idea of icosahedron type game?

[peak jolt]

icosahedron type game

[north robin]

can u explain it in a simple context

[obtuse lagoon]

anyone want to dev something with me? dm me i can code just provide a idea and help with everything else

[peak jolt]

what tbe fuck is an icosahedron type game

[brazen pelican]

local v = function() return ”a” end
local x = v()
x == ”a”

[autumn oak]

what are some cool yet simple modules i could script?

[junior ridge]

in the function, you returned "hotdog". so now when you call that function. you would get a variable that is equal to "hotdog"

[brazen pelican]

where 67

[tough kettle]

damn

[brazen pelican]

ask chatgpt

[autumn oak]

Nice question 😄 – I’m gonna assume you mean Roblox Lua modules, since most of your past questions are Roblox-related.

Here are a bunch of cool, realistic, but not overly complex module ideas that are actually useful and good practice:

[brazen pelican]

HAHAHAH

[peak jolt]

_ _

[autumn oak]

my ineternet must not be working

[brazen pelican]

why is ur avatar image roblox headless

[autumn oak]

why are you spying my roblox account

its not just headless btw

[brazen pelican]

your discord account profile picture

[autumn oak]

oh lol

[brazen pelican]

make a module loader or smth

[autumn oak]

asset loader?

[north robin]

so its like to make sure the script worked or smt?

[brazen pelican]

modulescript loader

look it up

[peak jolt]

make a module that creates an input hint in the bottom right of the screen showing what u can currently do with mouse/keys/gamepad buttons (1 line per input), fetch all actions bound in ContextActionService

[junior ridge]

go in dms i show you

[vapid radish]

because you're bored?

or

ahh i see

[autumn oak]

thats lowkey good

[vapid radish]

i mean

[autumn oak]

but my game has literally no mechanic system rn

[vapid radish]

you can do a data wrapper

one of the more fun things you could make is a ui toast/notification module

or a smooth motion module

[floral timber]

Is anyone here a decent scripter

[vapid radish]

with camera and movement

[autumn oak]

so a tween handler module?

[peak jolt]

u lookin in the wrong place buddy

[vapid radish]

ehhh kinda

i mean something dynamic

like camera sway, recoil settling, ui smoothing, etc.

[autumn oak]

hmm okay not bad

[vapid radish]

idk man

i feel like you should just work on a passion project if you're bored

it looks good on a resume depending on where you apply

but you have to show proficiency

[peak jolt]

you know how roblox plays walk and run animations based on if your walkspeed is large enough? extend that so for 4-12 walkspeed the current animation is a weighted blend of both walk and run and make sure theres no slipping/shuffling on transitions but continuous stepping

[autumn oak]

perfectioning module scripts is satisfying

[vapid radish]

for me, modulescripts are the most useful objects you could use in studio

[autumn oak]

why would i want to blend both run and walk animation?

[peak jolt]

cause it works

[brazen pelican]

no?

they’re useful for way more than luas wack implementation of oop

oh i misread nvm

[autumn oak]

[brazen pelican]

i mean i’d argue they are the most useful if you can utilize them properly

[vapid radish]

all good lmao

any serious game ends up being mostly modules

[peak jolt]

now silly games on the other hand

[vapid radish]

depends on the scripter

even a good scripter would use modulescripts on a throwaway game

its like a habit

[peak jolt]

i should make a slop game and just buy 5 trillion ads

what game can chatgpt make in a day

[vapid radish]

in a day is wild

[vapid radish]

probably this game 😭

[peak jolt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/721691879099334706/1453584330835099760/RobloxStudioBeta_fIIkh2lriN.gif

u dont know my homie chatgpt like that

we go way back

[vapid radish]

LMAO

i wont doubt doctor gpt anymore

[naive swallow]

110 players playing that.

Is crazy.

[tight hatch]

I tell chatgpt about my relationship problems, and it will has my back 👍

[naive swallow]

You don't need a bf or gf when you have chatGPT.

Or friends.

Or famliy.

[eternal solar]

are coroutines important

[vapid radish]

depends

theyre pretty useful

they let you run things without freezing everything else

[iron kraken]

it creates a new "thread"

[eternal solar]

alr im probably not going to spend to much time on them then

[iron kraken]

its important bru

[eternal solar]

its so boring 😭

[vapid radish]

you only use it for stuff like delays, animations, and background tasks

[eternal solar]

oh

[vapid radish]

but not every project needs it

[iron kraken]

while task.wait(1) do
 print("CMON CUH")
end

while task.wait(1) do
 print("CMON BUH")
end

ok so how u gon make these two while loops both print

thats ur mission

[eternal solar]

task.spawn in the 2nd one

wait i mean the first

[iron kraken]

ok

[vapid radish]

yep

[iron kraken]

its time shared btw

which means all the threads shares time on the cpu

[eternal solar]

oh

[iron kraken]

yes so they are not running at the same time

[eternal solar]

does that change anything

[iron kraken]

yes for performance

its lower performance to have more switching

[eternal solar]

oh alr

[vapid radish]

if you're not working on a serious project, don't worry about coroutines.

performance and optimizing isn't what you should be learning first

[eternal solar]

yea im just trying to learn rn

[vapid radish]

alright then just keep learning

[eternal solar]

it takes me an average of 3 hours per brawl dev video tho 😭

[vapid radish]

i dont know how good his videos are but

you should look at roblox documentation constantly

[eternal solar]

they're pretty helpful

[eternal solar]

oh

[vapid radish]

it helps a lot

[eternal solar]

i'll check that out thanks

[wise turtle]

no it doesn't 😭

[vapid radish]

keep watching them then

[iron kraken]

how

[wise turtle]

nevermind read ur message wrong

[vapid radish]

it only really matters if you’re spawning tons of threads

[iron kraken]

switch more between process/thread mean u gotta switch over the memory and the params and look through cache possibly more work for computer basically

[north robin]

hi guys

local part = game.Workspace.Bart

part.Touched:Connect(function()
    local newpart = Instance.new("Part")
    newpart.Parent = game.Workspace
    newpart.Anchored = false
end)

game.Workspace.ChildAdded:Connect(function()
    
    print("A new part has been added to the workspace!")
end)

how do i get the new part from the earlier function into the childadded function?

[vapid radish]

ChildAdded gives you the new part automatically (function(child)), there's no need to store it

[north robin]

oki thank you

[vapid radish]

[cobalt yoke]

do yall have an idea how i could make a simple way to cycle through some colors

local function RandomColor()
    return Color3.fromRGB(math.random(1, 255), math.random(1, 255), math.random(1, 255))
end```

this is all i have right now

[vapid radish]

just put the colors in a table and cycle an index

[cobalt yoke]

local function CycleColors()
    local colors = {
        Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0),
        Color3.fromRGB(255, 165, 0),
        Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 0),
        Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0),
        Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 255),
        Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 255),
        Color3.fromRGB(128, 0, 128),
    }
    for _, color in ipairs(colors) do
        script.ColorCorrection.TintColor = color
        task.wait(0.1)
    end
end``` smt like this?

@vapid radish

[twilit widget]

yea that would work

[vapid radish]

that only runs through the colors once. if you want it to cycle, wrap it in a while true do or use an index that loops

local colors = {
    Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0),
    Color3.fromRGB(255, 165, 0),
    Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 0),
    Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0),
    Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 255),
    Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 255),
    Color3.fromRGB(128, 0, 128),
}

local i = 1

while true do
    script.ColorCorrection.TintColor = colors[i]
    i = i % #colors + 1
    task.wait(0.1)
end```

[cobalt yoke]

thanks buddy

[vapid radish]

you're welcome

[mossy karma]

is it fine to save datastore when someone leaves or should i save anytime the values change?

[short basalt]

yes its fine

[mossy karma]

well that makes my job easier : D

[brazen pelican]

is childadded a new feature? i’ve never seen that before

[brazen pelican]

it’s completely fine to save when someone leaves but you can always have a save interval of like 5-10 minutes for extra safety

[mossy karma]

good idea, should be easy to implement. my game has a lobby and teleports to places but it wouldnt hurt to have that just to be safe

[vapid radish]

im pretty sure its been there since a while ago

2012

[surreal perch]

i have an great idea for a game but i have no money and no coding/modeling skills

[vapid radish]

then speak to a game developer

[surreal perch]

dont know any

[vapid radish]

go find some

[surreal perch]

how

[vapid radish]

if you have no money to hire anyone, no management experience, and no coding/modeling skills then you realistically have no choice

[mossy karma]

improve skills 🔥

[surreal perch]

k

ty

[vapid radish]

the first step is just learning one small thing or meeting people while you learn. ideas are cool, but skills are what let you actually build them

[gloomy kettle]

What is this/

[peak jolt]

Write everything down and start planning, do research on how exactly to do that

[gloomy kettle]

I have spent the last 1.5 months every other day with a tutor to learn.
I am now able to do some cool things now.

For systems or game ideas you should be able to tell everyone what it is in ONE SENTENCE.

Anything more and you will blow your scope of work to pieces.

[vapid radish]

game ideas shouldnt have to be told in one sentence, only the basic gist of the game should be.

individual systems yes

but not everything one system can accomplish can be told in a single sentence

[vapid radish]

cycles through the table of colors and loops it

[surreal perch]

ecosystem game where you take pictures of rare fish while they eat each other.

[gloomy kettle]

Agreed.
A game where you color your knife then fight in an arena for gold to spend on more colors or knife models.

[gloomy kettle]

I only touched color today as I made a custom coloring system for a weapon.

[craggy elm]

.

[iron kraken]

its starting green then turning more and more blue

so just pick a green color then lerp the blue value

[zenith ivy]

can somebody help me fix something in my code theres no errors but it wont work ( please vc me even if u wont talk so I can screenshare)

[mossy karma]

if theres no error then id guess its probably a mispelled variable

[zenith ivy]

I literally looked through everything

unless im blind

[mossy karma]

what is it thats the problem and what have you done so far to solve it?

[rain jetty]

WHO NEEDS HELP WITH CODE HELP

[iron kraken]

JJEJEJEGJEGIHJEGUIEIGUHEGE

[zenith ivy]

somebody help 😭

Im blind

I can't find it

[dark juniper]

Look for CombatController

In the explorer

Then go to line 34

That’s where ur error is

[regal salmon]

looks like the script is in StarterCharacterScripts

[past rose]

is ZonePlus good if i want to make a safe zone?

[timid mica]

what does that mean

[past rose]

it s a module

[timid mica]

yeah i suspected but what does it do

[past rose]

so basically u got a part and u can check when player enters or leaves that part with zoneplus

so u can make biomes , safe zones and stuff like that

but idk if it s optimized, eh should be

[graceful delta]

im in a cafuffle

whys nothing happening

and yes, i've also tried "i == time"

[twilit widget]

share the schedule table

[graceful delta]

i realised the issue

i had the times listed in there as ["x"] instead of [x]

https://tenor.com/view/miku-nakano-anime-cute-qq-pout-gif-7498937685973911968

[twilit widget]

always use assert

[wild veldt]

Yep. Very good

[sharp nimbus]

why does this say it is indexing nil

train.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
local parent = otherPart.Parent
local humanoid = parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

[austere vessel]

its indexing nil cause it cant find otherpartsparent that has humanoid, make it
train.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
if otherPart and otherPart.parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
local parent = otherPart.Parent
local humanoid = parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
end
end

@sharp nimbus

[sharp nimbus]

[crimson gale]

how can I get the animation to not t-pose? it has a valid id and the animation does play sometimes like in the clip it played for like a nano second at :09

it also runs perfectly on server

[eternal solar]

how did you guys get through the tutorial stage bc i find it really to hard to watch tutorial videos at times

[remote phoenix]

I assume the animation is looping or is being restarted

[remote phoenix]

the greatest way to learn is to just make things

learn core mechanics - how to store data, how to create a part and modify it, etc

[eternal solar]

yea at the moment im just watching a tutorial video and then spending like 2 hours goofing off with the stuff i learned

[eternal solar]

im not going to be at that part for a while with the brawldev tutorials which kinda sucks

i mean the data

i know how to make a part and stuff

[high turret]

chat how much of coding is just winging it because im taking a coding class and moving forward while winging it 😭

[runic pawn]

Bro

[remote phoenix]

what do you ultimately want to be able to make

[eternal solar]

just the average game on roblox nothing too complex

one of my future projects i want to make is similar to fisch

[remote phoenix]

usually the idea is you have something you absolutely need to make, like a genre you absolutely love playing and wanna make your own

[eternal solar]

oh

[remote phoenix]

or you just learn how to make core mechanics until you have enough knowledge to be out of tutorial hell

[eternal solar]

i might take that route thanks for the advice

[remote phoenix]

there's learning the language, then there's learning to make stuff you know what I mean

[eternal solar]

for the genres i dont really have a favorite bc i play them all but i just want to make games that i find fun

[eternal solar]

yea i get that

i wanted to make a staff that spawns a meteor and i got carried away with it 😭

[remote phoenix]

lol

[crimson gale]

im just using roblox's default animate script

oh ok ty

[atomic hearth]

rate my skill

[shell wraith]

How do u learn scripting? Like videos,tutors,documentation,book,paid lessons?

[granite igloo]

videos to start off, then documentation and trying out stuff mostly

[shy cipher]

it gets easy when you try to make your own things instead of being tutorial-dependent, first time I did this was when I was making an admin system instead of rotting on devking's playlist and having half the stuff fly over my head

[compact echo]

guys help

.

[hoary cedar]

With?

[compact echo]

how do i turn the original leaderstats UI off

like if pressed TAB it will not open

[tired bronze]

dont press tab

[regal salmon]

StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.PlayerList, false)

[compact echo]

tysm bro chat keep saying its impossible when i asked him

[regal salmon]

lmao

[cloud wyvern]

high hopes 🥹

[hoary cedar]

Knowing how to write the appropriate prompts is a vital skill

This begins in middle school as you develop research skills

[atomic hearth]

what yall saying to this banger background

[ornate gazelle]

Videos, documentations etc.
Try making simple things first then start making them more complex, find new ways to shorten the code and just have fun

[wary urchin]

anyone know how i can make a hiring post ?

[vocal forge]

so guys anyone familiar with this pack? can i get sued because of this or striked?

[supple spindle]

thats why u do stuff like that on an alt account

[wraith shadow]

No this works even in new roblox since coreGUI is part of the startergui srrvice

[compact echo]

yep i tried it

[steep light]

What can I sell this system for?

[ember nimbus]

probably nothing

depends how general it is

[wraith shadow]

This system free gng

theres fucking cash grab obbies that use ts

[steep light]

What the f*ck do you mean? I made this by myself. Everything except the keycap model.

This ain’t no free system

Trust me i see fuckin obbies using these

This isnt original

Even if you made it good job but id say you should use these skills to make something else

[steep light]

My system is forsure very similar. Not exactly the exact same movement tho. Didn’t get this from anywhere

[wraith shadow]

Thats cool and all but id say to go into Something original or atleast distinct

[twin cairn]

The obbies sadly do not care

[steep light]

Im just creating stuff I think is fun.

[dusky relic]

Like a dollar

[wraith shadow]

Thats cool, your choice dude i never said you are obligated to

You make whatever you want

[steep light]

Ahaha, fairs bro. Was just wondering since I got a couple of dms wanting to buy the system

[steep light]

Yeah yeah. But I understand your point tho

[dusky relic]

(Then as much as you can squeeze out of them)

[wraith shadow]

You wanna make a gun system together we could sell it for a good buck dude

[steep light]

Sounds cool dude

The thing is tho

I absolutely SUCK at scripting!

I can model stuff tho

[limpid basalt]

wsp guys

[wraith shadow]

cool and i am absolutely good at scripting

I think that fills the hole

[steep light]

That is absolutely amazing

[wraith shadow]

I absolutely agree

[steep light]

Absolutely cool

[wraith shadow]

👍

[ornate needle]

hey guys, i just started scripting 2 days ago

rn im trying to make the button make player faster, whats my wrong here??

local Speed = game.Workspace.SpeedButton.Main

Speed.Position = Vector3.new(-1.5, 0.6, 18.7)

Speed.Touched:Connect(function(Boost)
    local hum = Speed.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

    if not hum then return end

    if hum then
        hum.WalkSpeed = 20
    end
end)

[limpid basalt]

Speed.Parent should be Boost.Parent

[wraith shadow]

Yep

[lapis parrot]

why when i place a model on the ground and then when i load into studio its in a new position, its rigged and all

mods ban him

[hasty talon]

Hi

[naive sierra]

Can I get a game debug dev in this server?

[atomic hearth]

its real

[shell wraith]

Rate Best ways to learn scripting:

Documentation
Brawldev Popular scripting lessons
Roblox coding book
Roblox game: "Scripting school"

[buoyant magnet]

Best way to learn is microsoft paint

[compact echo]

GetPropertyChangedSignal
is this event good to send number values from the server to the client

[kind spire]

is it possible to upload the code from roblox game to github? Like a Backup

[fading juniper]

ai is surprisingly good for learning

[opal meadow]

can I script

[wraith shadow]

Is bro agreeing eith everything

[compact echo]

is it better than the fire event?

[small wraith]

ok

[wraith shadow]

I think pari should delete their roblox account

[compact echo]

fr

[compact echo]

😂😂😂😂he agreed

[unreal geode]

thoughts?

[compact echo]

smooooooooooth

[unreal geode]

preciate it

[fallen mango]

there’s a hidden code in my game that’s a virus that makes a gamepass pop up everytime a player joins? can anyone help me find it?

i can pay

games completely finished too and wanting to release it today

[compact echo]

try with chat gpt
try to ask some professionals in dm and pey them if needed
try to ask chat gpt to search about this thing in devfourm

[brittle spade]

reminds me of a game

is it inspired?

[ember fractal]

anyone know how to get globals to work in neovim. My lsp keeps saying the globals are wrong and adding them in settings havent worked

settings = {
  Lua = {
    runtime = {
      version = "Luau",
    },
    diagnostics = {
      globals = { "game", "workspace", "script" },
    },
    workspace = {
      library = {
        "/path/to/api-dump.json",
      },
      checkThirdParty = false,
    },
  },
}

[unreal geode]

just a system i wanna sell

[brittle spade]

just to make sure, are you sure the capitals aren't the problem?

[ember fractal]

yeah not the problem

works fine in studio

[brittle spade]

what's your lsp?

lua_ls barely has any luau support

[ember fractal]

 -- LSP
  use 'neovim/nvim-lspconfig'
  use 'williamboman/mason.nvim'
  use 'williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim'

  -- Luau LSP with Roblox support
  use 'lopi-py/luau-lsp.nvim'

  -- Autocompletion
  use {
    'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp',
    requires = {
      'hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp',
      'hrsh7th/cmp-buffer',
      'hrsh7th/cmp-path',
      'L3MON4D3/LuaSnip',
      'saadparwaiz1/cmp_luasnip',
    }
  }

  -- Formatting and Linting
  use 'nvimtools/none-ls.nvim'
  use 'jay-babu/mason-null-ls.nvim'

[brittle spade]

yeah so uh.

i have bad news

that config is for lua-language-server

[ember fractal]

give it to me straight doc

[brittle spade]

here you're using

luau-ls

and also

luau-lsp can't even read json directly

[ember fractal]

which one am i suppost to use then

[mellow echo]

I'm making a game where players push blocks around and merge them, but the bigger blocks are harder to move because of the mass, and the smaller the player's character is the harder it is to move the blocks. Does anybody know what I could do??

[ember fractal]

i saw someone just weld them to the player.

[brittle spade]

use luau lsp if you're going into roblox game development

[ember fractal]

use 'lopi-py/luau-lsp.nvim' ?

[brittle spade]

yea

[ember fractal]

thats the one im using

[brittle spade]

your code isn't using that

[kind shore]

hidden devs is not even hidden anymore

[brittle spade]

it's using the lua version of it, not luau

those are different things

for example, for luau, you can't use json files directly

you need to use Lua files, not JSON

[fallow tiger]

you want them to be harder to push or not?

cuz you probably just want massless

[ember fractal]

https://github.com/NotPandaByte/nvim

in after/plugin/lsp.lua you can see my lsp config. im pretty sure im using it

[brittle spade]

settings = {
Lua = {
runtime = {
version = "Luau",
},
diagnostics = {
globals = { "game", "workspace", "script" },
},
workspace = {
library = {
"/path/to/api-dump.json", -> this is the problem
},
checkThirdParty = false,
},
},
}

[ember fractal]

because i havent put in the dump?

[brittle spade]

on the code you presented there

[brittle spade]

you can't use json files on the luau lsp

[ember fractal]

im not tho

[brittle spade]

/path/to/api-dump.json

the file ends with.json

it's a json file

[ember fractal]

its going to lua lsp not luau

[brittle spade]

ohhh

well in that case uh

lua lsp can't read json files as library sources

[ember fractal]

what is the right way then 🥲

[brittle spade]

the library usually expects lua files, not json files, so:
Convert your Json API dump into Lua files.

[old forum]

Greetings i would like for sombody to help me understand Object oreinted programming

[ember fractal]

youtube is usually pretty good for that stuff

[old forum]

local Rectangle = {}
Rectangle.__index = Rectangle
function Rectangle.new(width, height)
local object = {}
object.Width = width
object.Height = height

return setmetatable(object, Rectangle)

end

function Rectangle:GetArea()
return self.Width * self.Height
end

local rect = Rectangle.new(10, 10)
print(rect:GetArea())

function Rectangle:GetPerimeter ()
return (self.Width + self.Height)*2
end

local rect = Rectangle.new(5,10)

[old forum]

ive tried

not the best for what im tryign to do

[brittle spade]

hmm i got it

so

firstly

[old forum]

see i just want to be able to do this on my own .

[brittle spade]

you're using the "rect" variable 2 times in your script

[old forum]

ye

so do you know how to do OOp by your elf

self*

[brittle spade]

nah but do i know some basics

[old forum]

ahh i see

[brittle spade]

you can't create 2 variables under the same name

lol

[old forum]

ik

but the script work s

i need help just making sure i can do this on my own

[brittle spade]

well i mean

the script does work

[old forum]

yes

[brittle spade]

you know, i think you got it

you just need to maintain good and organized code

style, etc

[old forum]

you know what i think your right

[brittle spade]

a script working IS good but it is not as good as maintaining overall great code

[old forum]

yea

[brittle spade]

I think you can make it out as a great scripter, just set optimizationa and organization as your main focus rn

[old forum]

ok thnks man God bless you and what you would like to do

[covert locust]

if i delete a script do the functions in it automatically get cleaned up?

[north robin]

local part = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Bart")

part.Touched:Connect(function()
    local newpart = Instance.new("Part")
    newpart.Parent = game.Workspace
    newpart.Anchored = false
end)

game.Workspace.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
    if child.Name == "Part" then
    print("A new part has been added to the workspace!")
    wait(1)
    child:Destroy()
    print("The part was useless so I´ve killed it!")
    end
end)
```What do yall think of my code ive started yesterday! :D

[ember fractal]

might be time to quit

[north robin]

oh

i will continue ;)

[ember fractal]

good luck

[north robin]

thanks

[fresh grail]

Does anybody know where can i find a code that for moving the humanoid part in my case ive made an orca and ive put the humanoid in the main part ive tried a script in starterplayerscript but it didnt work to move it. Anybody pls help

[stuck hinge]

humanoid isnt a part?

[fresh grail]

Ye ik but ive put humanoid in the main part where the hit box will be or smh yk?

[stuck hinge]

?

that doesnt make it moveable

[fresh grail]

Yea ik bro ive put the scrip and it didnt work

[autumn oak]

why do i get big replication delay for one client when attaching 2 player roots with ropeconstraint?

[stuck hinge]

script?

[fresh grail]

I might be wrong bc im new to programming and i am ABSOLUTELY bad

[fresh grail]

Dm

Or wait

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = workspace:WaitForChild("Orca") -- Your Model Name
local hrp = character.PrimaryPart -- The body part with Humanoid

local speed = 30

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

local move = {W=false, A=false, S=false, D=false, Space=false, Shift=false}

-- Track key presses
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then move.W = true end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S then move.S = true end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then move.A = true end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then move.D = true end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then move.Space = true end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then move.Shift = true end
end
end)

uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then move.W = false end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S then move.S = false end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then move.A = false end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then move.D = false end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then move.Space = false end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then move.Shift = false end
end
end)

-- Movement loop
runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(delta)
local dir = Vector3.new()
if move.W then dir = dir + hrp.CFrame.LookVector end
if move.S then dir = dir - hrp.CFrame.LookVector end
if move.A then dir = dir - hrp.CFrame.RightVector end
if move.D then dir = dir + hrp.CFrame.RightVector end
if move.Space then dir = dir + Vector3.new(0,1,0) end
if move.Shift then dir = dir - Vector3.new(0,1,0) end

if dir.Magnitude > 0 then
    hrp.CFrame = hrp.CFrame + dir.Unit * speed * delta
end

end)

Ts is it

@stuck hinge

[stuck hinge]

are all the other parts welded to the hrp?

[fresh grail]

Yah

But ive made all parts in 1 weldconstant

Is that ok

[stuck hinge]

idk what u mean
