[exotic phoenix]

can I send you it and you'll let me know your thoughts?

[tight pewter]

too much effort for me tbh

there is forum nerds that would hate on you for free though

[exotic phoenix]

its less than 100 lines

[tight pewter]

great feedback there

[exotic phoenix]

thats what I fear

[exotic phoenix]

ts be so annoying

they'll hate and provide 0 information

[tight pewter]

some do yeah

[exotic phoenix]

but good idea

I will do that

always looking to get better yo

[tight pewter]

any scripter available to work with us on a new project we started 1 week ago? the game needs polishing and bug fixes, with you it would be much faster and you would add alot to the team tbh! no payment for now sadly,

[fickle parrot]

hey guys quick questions, i need a viewportframe in a screen gui under startergui to display a parts camera how would i do that

[remote valley]

guh i asked ai to review code that i've been writing for the past few days and it said IT SUCKS

[south vapor]

just woundering yall think it would be hard to make a working spy glass

[remote valley]

its not wrong tho

@frail yarrow "Look at my roles I know c++"

[shut sorrel]

I'm like that for luau but it's a good language

not a single flaw

[frail yarrow]

I've probably written more C++ than you've written luau

[shut sorrel]

how many years have you been scripting

[golden thunder]

Can someone explain what does script.source do?

[regal salmon]

http://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Script#Source

[golden thunder]

Does something like this potentially allow exploiters to get script codes or is it protected by Roblox?

[regal salmon]

localscripts they can access, serverscripts no

[golden thunder]

Why did they add something like this to luau 😭

[regal salmon]

its not because of script.Source

exploiters can access localscripts because they are loaded and run on the client

anything available to the client, they can take

[civic bison]

Selling a popular "Escape The Tsunami For ____" Game Template, if you are interested, then DM me!

[tight pewter]

bjcs's entire online presence revolves around roblox/luau, so not very long

[peak jolt]

Source is only really usable in studio, in game it doesnt actually expose the source, exploiters have to use decompilers to achieve that

[regal salmon]

Source also cant be used in-game

[golden thunder]

Oh good

[regal salmon]

but there is literally nothing you can do about this

[tight pewter]

yeah you cant stop them from stealing scripts that are loaded on their computer

or assets

just how it is

[regal salmon]

goes for every game ever

[tight pewter]

mhm

[golden thunder]

So like

[tight pewter]

if their computer renders it, runs it, loads it into memory, they can take it

[golden thunder]

An exploiter can easily tell what each remote event does

An experienced one atleast

[tight pewter]

cloud gaming would be the only real fix tbh (for games in general)

but that would be aids

[golden thunder]

Yeah I don't think it's worth stressing over

A solution would be adding security to the remote events to detect legitimate fires vs ones from an exploiter

[tight pewter]

yeah thats just good practice

[golden thunder]

But I'm pretty sure they can eventually find a way around the security eventually

[tight pewter]

sanity checks on remotes

[tight pewter]

nah not if the server authorizes certain things

client clicks buy button >>>> server checks if they have enough money

they would need access to the server to bypass that ^

[regal salmon]

yeah they can't run things on the server unless you give them a way to

[tight pewter]

there is some design flaws on more complicated systems, that allow for exploits... but its almost always the developers fault the exploit exists.

so yeah, just be cautious of your design

[warm pier]

how hard are rebirth systems

[golden thunder]

Roblox should let you know what local script fired the remote event tbh

[broken grove]

Why

Why would you need that

[cerulean dune]

Roblox should add anti-cheats to localscripts

[broken grove]

??

[tight pewter]

wish it were that simple lol

[cerulean dune]

Exploiters can change localscripts and exploit in ur game

[broken grove]

Obviously

[shut sorrel]

they're adding server authority soon you won't have to use local scripts at all

Just camera and inputs

[broken grove]

Pretty sure server authority is open beta already

[shut sorrel]

It is but I don't think it's public is it?

[tight pewter]

open beta

[shut sorrel]

you can use it but does it appear in experiences

[somber vault]

In game like Pls Donate, player shows his gamepasses for others to buy and assumes player is there the whole time.
Is there anything preventing a gamepass from working while player is away from game and/or offline?

[golden thunder]

For security

[broken grove]

How does that provide any security

[tight pewter]

that wouldnt secure anything

[shut sorrel]

no it should always work if it's sold on the Roblox site

Just depends how you get their game passes and that info

[broken grove]

This is the equivalent of adding a parameter called "realsecureusage" which you set to true when firing the remote

[somber vault]

player submits it themselves and it "gets put on a shelf" of a shop

[tight pewter]

they dont even need scripts technically, can just piggyback off the roblox client connection with their own code/app

[golden thunder]

If only a certain local script uses a certain remote event I'm pretty sure you could validate real fires by checking the passed local script name no?

[broken grove]

No

Client can lie

About everything

Including what their name is

[tight pewter]

^ @golden thunder

[golden thunder]

Oh

[shut sorrel]

I'm pretty sure they just released a option like that for UGC so I'm sure player uploaded stuff works too, like if a store shelf used memory service to remember a users submitted product id it will display it on the shelf in all servers

[somber vault]

I am thinking game-specific thing(non-ugc) and the gamepass is there just to provide price.

unless UGC also includes stuff you can make ingame/for game

[shut sorrel]

to like sell a can of beans for 15 robux for example

[somber vault]

yes, but each player can make/sell his own can of beans and the bean can functions only in the game

[shut sorrel]

I think anything that the player can sell on their profile, just not dev products because that's experience exclusives I'm pretty sure

The only problem is just selling the same gamepass to the same person, they won't be able to buy it again

[somber vault]

ouch

that puts a damper in my ideas

So I tell player, "yes, please make a new gamepass for each bean can you want to sell, here is tutorial how".

and conveniently, it's ok for said can to sell once per player.

because cooking beans is art, damnit!

and because it takes effort/attachment, making it less throw-away than a simple donation

[deep bobcat]

hi guys

[deep bobcat]

idk if i can do this here but how much it would cost a script for a free ugc game, points per second

[frozen crag]

somebody doesn't know, I have made a tutorial in forum about scripting the text and voice in diffirent languages. Like in others popular games, you will use this script for making your games international.

[spice raft]

What is the best playlist to learn script?

[gritty spoke]

Hi everyone, Is there anyone who wants a new and custom logo, pfp or group icon? Dm me if y'all need one

[north robin]

give free

👍

[summer aurora]

just learned this you can visualize things in the world on studio to yourself only if you use adornments

modified this cool plugin to do exactly that with projectiles and explosions

[north robin]

this looks hella cool lol

[edgy agate]

this is REALLY cool

[hollow yew]

this is BEYOND cool

[stray oak]

im confused

[summer aurora]

only you can see it, no one else, that's really it.
you can't really do baseparts unless you want to do viewports (which just brings unwanted garbage) so this is pretty much the way to bring them to the world on your screen.

i pretty much just modified and made this plugin because sometimes team create can be boring and i just wanna bully things lol

[pearl tulip]

does anyone know how to make the IKS smoother mid air

[shut sorrel]

make it snap instant, don't add any delay

If your using ikcontrol

really that will make it smoother?

thank you let me try

[solid garden]

Day 4 of learning how to script

learned about guis and how to function them, no scripting there yet but yk

Didn't really do much cuz of basketball practice and I was tired from all the scripting I did before

I'm gonna make a small game with all the knowledge I learned and see what happens from there

[mossy lynx]

a small game alreadu

u got it bro

games arent all about scripting, I suck at making games because the ui and building, alsoi making it look good is hard

like making the map and lighting look good

and ui

[mossy lynx]

u can make systems with ur scripts but ion reccomend a game unelss ur already good at ui and building

[brazen pelican]

yeah for fucking real

[mossy lynx]

yeee u get it

[brazen pelican]

i’m good enough at scripting to where i can create anything i possibly need within that, but anything else i just can’t

i can color a box that’s about it

[mossy lynx]

also even when I build, I dont get how people make the game look so modern ykwim

like ill build, it could look like the exact same map but its js different for sum reason

[brazen pelican]

i think some of that is just an artifact of blender tbh

models created by 3d modelling software almost always look better imo

[solid garden]

yea it's just gonna be a simple obstacle course and then ill start learning about guis and stuff

[mossy lynx]

obstacle course

my guy ur a scripter

[solid garden]

ngl tho im tired as hell, and ill probably make it tomorrow

[mossy lynx]

tryna make a game wit me

[solid garden]

yea it's gonna have buttons and gates

[mossy lynx]

ill help

[quaint gull]

obbies also require scripting

[brazen pelican]

man i respect u so much for starting small and not trying to rip off some battlegrounds game or try to create a game that’ll take months or years

[mossy lynx]

obby is ass for scripting

[solid garden]

im not that good lol

[mossy lynx]

same

make like a

idk

[solid garden]

thanks

[mossy lynx]

also good work learning all that in 3 days

[brazen pelican]

good for checkpoints kill bricks etc basic stuff that’ll help you get a hold of scripting

[quaint gull]

keep it simple

then gradually try making harder things

[solid garden]

its not really an obby

but kinda is

[brazen pelican]

mans making schrödingers obby

[solid garden]

what is a schrodinger

[brazen pelican]

you know schrodingers cat?

[mossy lynx]

yo my guy

make like a system first

good system before a game

[solid garden]

no

[brazen pelican]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger's_cat

[mossy lynx]

decent system

[solid garden]

like a stages system?

[mossy lynx]

make a basic combat system

dont gotta make crazy hitboxes

[brazen pelican]

dude he can not do that yet

[solid garden]

naw

[mossy lynx]

yeah he can

[solid garden]

that's too complex

[mossy lynx]

combat system is so fucking easy

trust me i thoughtr it was too

[solid garden]

I need to learn about enums, cframes, allat

[mossy lynx]

well ti dpeends, when u get into the hitbox stuff then yeah

[solid garden]

i wanna make a simple game with the stuff i learned

[mossy lynx]

ion know that, I js ask chat gpt how to spawn a aprt infront of me

[solid garden]

and then ill start learning more complex stuff

[mossy lynx]

trust me dont learn cframes

this shi sucks

[brazen pelican]

bro that’s terrible

[brazen pelican]

wrong

[mossy lynx]

well its mad confusing for me ngl

[quaint gull]

cframes aren't that hard

[solid garden]

nah u gotta learn them

[mossy lynx]

so I js dont do it

mayvbe I should try

[brazen pelican]

you should…

[quaint gull]

and they're pretty important to learn actually

[brazen pelican]

they’re important

[mossy lynx]

alr

[brazen pelican]

yeah

[mossy lynx]

will learn them like

in a couple months

at somepoint

wheneveer im not bored, Im also learning python rn

[brazen pelican]

it’s like vector3 but different in the scaling and lets you set rotation etc

[solid garden]

u could probably learn it in a couple days

[idle marsh]

does anyone think a 4613 line module is bad?

[brazen pelican]

depends

[solid garden]

if u work hard enough at it and pay attention

[mossy lynx]

u dont need a 4613 line module

[brazen pelican]

what’s it used for

[mossy lynx]

what the fuck are u putting in it

code so ass

[idle marsh]

lol

its an extended math module

[brazen pelican]

i have modules that are a few thousand in some cases, it depends on what it’s used for and how

[brazen pelican]

yeah then it’s generally fine

[mossy lynx]

ion use module scripts fr

[brazen pelican]

granted not super ideal but definitely understandable

[idle marsh]

with >500 functions for physics, lerping, custom functions, and user-defined functionality

[mossy lynx]

yo em what system should I make

[brazen pelican]

module scripts are the most important thing in roblox coding…

[idle marsh]

fr

[solid garden]

anyway chat good news, since tomorrow is friday, ill be able to script a ton, I js need to do my basketball game and I'm good

[mossy lynx]

i only use it for like storing values and shi

well thats what I used it fgor last time

Ion save functions in module scripts

[brazen pelican]

learn them asap

you know OOP?

[mossy lynx]

I know how to use them

nah aint had to learn

Im lowkey lazy asf

[brazen pelican]

[mossy lynx]

I stopped learning luiau ngl

Im js writing stuff whenever I want to

[brazen pelican]

talking about others code being shit and u don’t use cframe or module scripts

[mossy lynx]

and learn as I write

[mossy lynx]

I do

what system should I make that uses module scripts

[brazen pelican]

i do that with c++ icl

[idle marsh]

function CalculatorPlus.perlinNoise2D(x: number, y: number, seed: number?)
    seed = seed or 0
    local function fade(t) return t * t * t * (t * (t * 6 - 15) + 10) end
    local function lerp(a, b, t) return a + t * (b - a) end
    local function grad(hash, x, y)
        local h = hash % 4
        if h == 0 then return x + y
        elseif h == 1 then return -x + y
        elseif h == 2 then return x - y
        else return -x - y end
    end
    local function hash(x: number, y: number)
        return bit32.bxor(bit32.bxor(x * 73856093, y * 19349663), seed) % 256
    end

    local xi = math.floor(x) % 255
    local yi = math.floor(y) % 255
    local xf = x - math.floor(x)
    local yf = y - math.floor(y)
    local u = fade(xf)
    local v = fade(yf)

    local aa = hash(xi, yi)
    local ab = hash(xi, yi + 1)
    local ba = hash(xi + 1, yi)
    local bb = hash(xi + 1, yi + 1)

    local x1 = lerp(grad(aa, xf, yf), grad(ba, xf - 1, yf), u)
    local x2 = lerp(grad(ab, xf, yf - 1), grad(bb, xf - 1, yf - 1), u)

    return lerp(x1, x2, v)
end

[mossy lynx]

like I used am odule script for like a random sab spawner type thing

[brazen pelican]

just make like a tower defense or smth

[mossy lynx]

hell nah

shitty ass game

[mossy lynx]

like random part spawn

[brazen pelican]

good for learning OOP and using modules

[mossy lynx]

and u can js drop in the model and put the name in the module script

[mossy lynx]

lemme see a module script u made

what do u store in it

[brazen pelican]

i got one of my libraries on my github but i’m in bed rn so i can’t get u any

[mossy lynx]

ok

what u store in it hto

[tired remnant]

Ngl, this is just starting to sound like mad cause bad cope

[brazen pelican]

githubs linked on my profile if u wanna check

[brazen pelican]

depends on what i’m doing

functions classes types variables helper functions etc

where is EpsteinOS though?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1138164783967899678/1463682708856246293/caption.gif

[idle marsh]

wanna see I useful function that I made in my module? You can use it with lerping

[brazen pelican]

larp > lerp

[idle marsh]

function CalculatorPlus.alpha(value: number, start: number, target: number)
    -- Returns a normalized value where 0 means 'value' = 'start' and 1 means 'value' = 'target'

    return (value -  start) / (target - start)
end

Say I have values:

local emIsSoCool = 17.5
local target = 20
local start = 15

local emIsSoCool = 17.5
local target = 20
local start = 15

local alpha = CalculatorPlus.alpha(emIsSoCool, start, target)
--Prints 0.5

[hoary cedar]

Why would you name a normalizing function "alpha"

It's clearly supposed to be named "normalize"

[mossy lynx]

or like "drxcoissocool"

that could work too

[brazen pelican]

would apply if u didn’t shit on his code on the first message he sent

[mossy lynx]

make a game wit me skid, Ig i will carry

[brazen pelican]

0/10 ragebait nice try

[mossy lynx]

and u can get like 10% credit

[brazen pelican]

you can do better

[mossy lynx]

nah fr make a game with me

[brazen pelican]

nah

[mossy lynx]

please

[brazen pelican]

bro

i’m already coding a combat system for someone and i don’t even play roblox anymore

i just code

[mossy lynx]

combat system is NOT complicated my guy

what are u making it like

[brazen pelican]

depends

[mossy lynx]

i mean it can get complicated

u using parts as hitbox?

[brazen pelican]

ofc

[mossy lynx]

ah thats easy then

I should lowkey remake my combat system and make it look cleaner

it js spams if value == 1

[brazen pelican]

i’m trying to find a way to move the latency with netcode rollback and shit though

[mossy lynx]

if value == 2

[brazen pelican]

and predictions

[solid garden]

tbh i don't know what type of cash grab game I'd make 6 months to a year later

[mossy lynx]

or like if light3 == true and light2 = fal;se

[brazen pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/лол-gif-15524851864758900352

yea idk about that

[brazen pelican]

[quaint gull]

yes

[solid garden]

why do that and barely make any money

[quaint gull]

for fun

enjoyment

[solid garden]

when i can make a simulator and print thousands of dollars

[brazen pelican]

you won’t make any money with cashgrab games either, sorry to burst your bubble

[solid garden]

im broke

[hoary cedar]

OLD SCHOOL GIF

[solid garden]

i grow up broke

[brazen pelican]

i’m unc mb

[hoary cedar]

Same. I'm 21, lol

[solid garden]

i made one like 6 years ago when I was buns at scripting and made 10k robux

[brazen pelican]

20 here

[brazen pelican]

yeah but now there’s thousands so unless you’re willing to advertise you won’t reach anyone

[mossy lynx]

ygs so old

[solid garden]

I know how to advertise tho

[mossy lynx]

im like

[solid garden]

and i know content creators n shi with thousands of subs

[mossy lynx]

idk but

[solid garden]

i have a ton of connections

[mossy lynx]

in my teens

[mossy lynx]

3k subs isnt a ton of connections my ugy'

guy

he had 1 good video

[brazen pelican]

bro might be that 1 guy w an island

[solid garden]

like i know this Arabic dude with 151k subs and if i ever wanted him to make a vid for my game, he would

[brazen pelican]

he wouldn’t

[solid garden]

nah he would

[mossy lynx]

blocks u right away]

[solid garden]

i actually know people im telling y'all

[mossy lynx]

[brazen pelican]

that’s the LEAST convincing statement i’ve heard in months

infact since 2025

[quaint gull]

it's better to just make games for fun

[solid garden]

its fine yall don't believe me

imma go shower and then go sleep

and day 5 will be tomorrow 🫡

[brazen pelican]

gl

[solid garden]

thanks

[quaint gull]

your cashgrabs are not guaranteed to succeed

[solid garden]

chat i changed my mind, imma shower tomorrow morning

[brazen pelican]

yeah exactly

[solid garden]

depends on what it is

[brazen pelican]

it’s a gamble so might aswell make something you’ll be proud of and enjoy the process of

[brazen pelican]

it really doesn’t

[idle marsh]

because it returns the alpha between numbers so you can use it lerping

[solid garden]

now a game like DEEPWOKEN, that's true creativity

ain't nobody making a masterpiece like that

[brazen pelican]

idk man

deepwokens kinda ass

[solid garden]

hell nah

[idle marsh]

I did it because the lerp function takes the third argument called alpha

[brazen pelican]

so if i have a function that takes 3 different arguments i should name the function after the third argument instead of what the function does with all 3?

[solid garden]

@brazen pelican how many years of experience u got in scripting

[brazen pelican]

on and off since 2017-2018

[wise turtle]

if the function doesn't take a 3rd argument you should name the function nil

[solid garden]

o

[brazen pelican]

facts

[golden crag]

You ever just have a script throw an error but the thing works anyways

[idle marsh]

lerping just returns a number between what you're trying to get and an ALPHA (the third argument) my function helps you get that ALPHA. Im not gonna have it named lerp just for it to return an alpha

[brazen pelican]

normalizeToAlpha or smth idk

i mean name it whatever u want

atleast add an @params comment

[brazen pelican]

my scripts don’t error

except when they do, and i get ragebaited

[idle marsh]

how many years experience do you have?

[brazen pelican]

scroll up in the chat

also i lowkey gotta sleep as well

[idle marsh]

this took more effort than for you to:

local experience = math.random(1, math.huge)
print(experience)

[brazen pelican]

💀

first parameter not needed

if you input just one it assumes it to be from 1 to x

[idle marsh]

really? thats tuff

[brazen pelican]

yerp

math.random(100) is the same as math.random(1, 100)

because apparently roblox gets to use function overloading and we don’t

[brazen pelican]

always pissed me off

but lua doesn’t support overloading afaik so ig it makes sense

[idle marsh]

dang

do you know what guard clauses are / early returns

[hoary cedar]

Yes

[idle marsh]

nice

[idle marsh]

how many years experience do you have?

[hoary cedar]

The point of the alpha is to interpolate/extrapolate a number in/out of the range from A -> B

You already have an interpolated/extrapolated value from A -> B

Why do you need its alpha?

[hoary cedar]

3-4 years of professional experience. I began learning to script on Roblox in 2014

[idle marsh]

for lerping. If i had:

local val = 10
local start = 5
local target = 15

local alpha = CalculatorPlus.normalizeAlpha(val, start, target) --renamed it

I can use this for equations and other stuff but im using this in my movement system specifically sliding to check if the character has enough velocity before sliding

[idle marsh]

thats great!

it would return 0.5

[hoary cedar]

"check if the character has enough velocity before sliding"
That makes sense

I wasa about to say that you already had the target, lol

[wise turtle]

"CalculatorPlus" 😭

[idle marsh]

Well here more specifically:

local moveSpeedAlpha: number = CPlus.normalizeAlpha(hum.WalkSpeed, startSpeed, runningSpeed)
    
if moveSpeedAlpha < 0.1 then return end

[idle marsh]

🙁

[hoary cedar]

"Math" is all you need to say, lol

[idle marsh]

but it has >600 functions

[hoary cedar]

And?

[idle marsh]

its a calculator 😼

The "Dunghill Anti-Pattern". It talks about the consequences of building large, miscellaneous utilities and libraries

[idle marsh]

ohhh lol. Calc+ was originally a fun test with ai but then it got outta hands.

it had like 30 ish functions before then i got bored

[idle marsh]

it made stuff like this:

function CalculatorPlus.perlinNoise2D(x: number, y: number, seed: number?)
    seed = seed or 0
    local function fade(t) return t * t * t * (t * (t * 6 - 15) + 10) end
    local function lerp(a, b, t) return a + t * (b - a) end

[hoary cedar]

What do you mean?

[hoary cedar]

Yeah. Most of this is outsourced mathematics. This is generally unreadable

[wise turtle]

: number

[idle marsh]

yuppp exactly what i though

[idle marsh]

ohhhhh. I'm using a module loader. The engine can't correctly infer types because the loader doesn't know the contents of the modules

[hoary cedar]

Mathematical algorithms require the same readability standards as other algorithms. Never write terse code

[hoary cedar]

What's wrong with that?

[idle marsh]

lolll. This is hardly my code but I 100% agree. Also do you know what magic numbers are?

[wise turtle]

your caching dynamic requires and retrieving the module thru a getter or smth?

[wise turtle]

its redundant because it should pretty much always be inferred

if u just type the returns

you should pretty much never need to annotate when declaring a variable

[hoary cedar]

Magic numbers are numbers that carry functional releveance in a piece of code, but the effects of the number are ambiguous due to their appearance as constants

[idle marsh]

yes yes!

[wise turtle]

types are only there to be used when the inference engine is insufficient

[hoary cedar]

For example:

local c = 2 * 3.14159 * 15

Vs.

local pi = 3.14159
local radius = 15
local circumference = 2 * pi * radius

[wise turtle]

if so then that pretty bad. also module loaders should pretty much never be used nowdays in general

[tight pewter]

somewhat true, its only redundant if your declaring a variable and initializing it.

but either way there is nothing wrong with being explicit or locking the type

[idle marsh]

yes but this is how it works:

I use Loader.Get(location: Folder, depth: number) -> --it returns required modules The actual function loops through that location and gets those modules. Then it returns them. You won't know exactly its contents

[wise turtle]

why do you need to do this

you just cook ur module types

[idle marsh]

yesss. It's unreadable and frustrating. Actually today, I started to eliminate magic numbers in my code

[hoary cedar]

I agree. However, you're discounting the fact that typing the variable this way locks that variable into that type. This is a valid and relevant action that can be taken by developers

[idle marsh]

I don't want to carry the wait of digging through locations and requiring modules. In my last project I had 15+ locations defined to require 30+ modules

[cyan gazelle]

is this for a module loader?

[wise turtle]

he is a beginner and a lot of beginners think its a good idea to annotate every single thing which is a bad habit because its a misunderstanding of what the type system is for

[idle marsh]

Correcto!

[wise turtle]

if you know what you're doing then sure, do what you want

in his case he is literally annotating because he lost all his module types because of using a loader with a getter

which is a fundamental flaw with his architecture

[cyan gazelle]

just have it save all the modules ina table then make a function to get that moule by name instead its better too bc its dynamic

[idle marsh]

Its a flaw, but it's easily fixable but just defining types

[hoary cedar]

I do not care for strictly typing the majority of my script. Frankly, it harms readability more than it catches compile/runtime errors

I stick to typing function signatures

[idle marsh]

I kind of do that. The loader returns a table of required modules and the key is the name of the module

[wise turtle]

why fix a problem that should never exist in the first place

auto-import exists and can easily require all ur modules

you should look into that

[idle marsh]

there was a problem. Cluster and unreadble dependencies

[wise turtle]

..?

[cyan gazelle]

okay but why not use collectionservice? u can jst add a tag to the module and boom its loaded. its wayy better too if u got something that u dont want to be loaded it wont

[tight pewter]

table cyclic errors too probably

[idle marsh]

that's what a Loader does

[wise turtle]

no it isn't

[cyan gazelle]

that sounds familiar

[wise turtle]

its just a tool that allows u to require stuff fast without typing out the entire hierarchy tree

[idle marsh]

The type of method you needs very but for my project I have quite a few dependencies to keep code clean. I also wrapped them in init functions.

[wise turtle]

ts is not clean

[cyan gazelle]

i use init and start methods for services

[idle marsh]

then what is auto-import?

[cyan gazelle]

or custom services

[wise turtle]

i just explained what auto-import is

its a tool not a module

[hoary cedar]

It's best that scripts declare their dependencies explicitly. The beginning of a script is comprised of service imports, module imports, general imports, and global variables and constants. This lets onlookers know exactly what is used throughout the script—no surprises

[wise turtle]

pretty much this but better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObDp5JlbmFI

[idle marsh]

what is the tool, how is it used? Could you show me some implementation or documentation

[wise turtle]

auto import is a feature of luau lsp iirc

but if u use studio there are many plugins out there

a loader is not the correct solution because of a variety of reasons with the main one being it breaks all ur types and also has no usecases

[hoary cedar]

Especially with the introduction of ScriptEditorService

Automatic snippet completion is now natively possible

[wise turtle]

yeah its really nice

[cyan gazelle]

oh lol i use this all the time its a game changer

[wise turtle]

theres stuff like https://devforum.roblox.com/t/v24-simplecomplete-all-scripting-plugins-in-1-more/3565169/7

[hoary cedar]

Automatic imports cause me more grief than normal, though

[idle marsh]

I do have an autocomplete plugins, but that's not the use i look for. I use many modules and having a loader is good.

There are many videos on youtube that insist on loaders:

-I built my own Module Loader! (it's epic)
-Why YOU Need A Module Loader | Roblox Studio
-Module Loaders: The Secret To Cleaner Roblox Code

[hoary cedar]

They can easily pull in references to modules that were not intended

[wise turtle]

the only problem i had when working with auto import is that it doesn't use relative paths (which was an issue when i was developing a library that needed to be published to wally)

[hoary cedar]

They cannot conform to different conventions either

[wise turtle]

its not good

you never need a loader if you have clearly defined entry points to ur modules

which will always give you better typings as a result

[hoary cedar]

"also does not work when you have already defined the service names as their own variables"
Lazy programming

Can easily be implemented

[wise turtle]

external editors winning

fully managed rojo is peak development experience

[cyan gazelle]

some programmers are fat lazy chuds

[idle marsh]

what do you mean my defined entry points?

[wise turtle]

if you ever manage to set it up correctly it'll be so nice

[wise turtle]

what is your loader trying to solve

[hoary cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-stare-at-paper-gif-5257839294650729742

[idle marsh]

give me a quick sec

[wise turtle]

most people are trying to solve the problem of load order with loaders

[cyan gazelle]

(im one of them)

[wise turtle]

but that isn't a problem if your systems have clear entry points

[hoary cedar]

SSA or MEPA >>>

[idle marsh]

what's wrong with chrono. I needed faster replication

[wise turtle]

oh nothing

i made it thats why

[tight pewter]

nothing, its roblox do whatever you want

[wise turtle]

its kinda hypocritical that i used a module loader in chrono but we don't talk about that

[tight pewter]

i just assumed you like finding reasons to argue tbh

[wise turtle]

also i think your problem is the fact you are just bloating ur script by handling too many things

many things can be split into different modules

not to mention the overuse of WFC

u dont need a single one of them

[tight pewter]

remove the helper role and replace it with a master debater role

[idle marsh]

you made chrono?

[wise turtle]

yep

[idle marsh]

Seems legit.

[idle marsh]

I CANT DISABLE ROBLOX REPLICATION

[wise turtle]

why not

[idle marsh]

idk how to. I check documentation and i still didn't understand

[wise turtle]

its just a config

config.DISABLE_DEFAULT_REPLICATION

then insert a dummy into starterplayer named Replicator

[tight pewter]

why a new discord account?

[wise turtle]

chrono v2 will have much better support for this anyway cus many people been talking about implementing their own character controller/animation replication

[tight pewter]

its the same discord account

there are vibe coders here???!?!?!

[spark carbon]

There used to be tons

Like they’d generate shit with ai and be like yeah, I’m replacing you fucks

[azure coral]

sure they would after creating an entire new market of programmers fixing disastrous problems vibecoders leave in lines of code

[spark carbon]

I used to work with 2 of them

Or one, can’t remember

One guy was shit at coding and the other used chatgpt I think

One of em couldn’t even use datastores without using profilestore

[azure coral]

sorry im a bit illiterate in terms of libraries since i code everything usually by myself but what is profilestore?

[spark carbon]

It’s a library that handles data storage

Basically you make a profile

Then

You can update its data

And it auto-saves and shit

[azure coral]

oh so it has all the important stuff built in

[spark carbon]

Yes

[azure coral]

damn thats just sad then. You could easily script an autosave without much help

[spark carbon]

It’s more work setting it up to work with your game than it is to make itt yourself, yes

[fleet silo]

There's been vibe coders for a while now

quick question apart from github repos, what is rojo for

[shut sorrel]

Not sure what the difference is other than the red light being casted but number 1

left one

[shut sorrel]

Just hooking it up to a ide like VSCode, Vim, Cursor

[pulsar pawn]

can you detect WHERE a player took damage

[tight pewter]

left refracts the light, right just has shadows

also i didnt know that recorded in 1080p, my bad lol, changed to 1440p

[shut sorrel]

Ye that's what it looks like, I like the refacting

[autumn oyster]

just check the player position since the code runs as soon as the player takes damage

[tight pewter]

yeah most people are telling me that, i like the shadows personally but i'll go with the refraction ig

[subtle shard]

the one on the right imo

[tight pewter]

with refraction it looks more like laser beams hitting it maybe

[tight pewter]

same

[pulsar pawn]

i mean what limb

[autumn oyster]

im genuinely so close to just not using strict linting in my project, like what??

[autumn oyster]

you can't "take damage" at a specific limb since damage is humanoid.Health -= damage

[shut sorrel]

are you using raycast, because you just check if hit.Instance.Name = "limb name'

[autumn oyster]

in my game i use Raycasts in the direction of bullet travel

[shut sorrel]

hit.instance.name

[autumn oyster]

albino have you ever used the roblox type checker

[shut sorrel]

I have but I don't like too, I just write non strict

[autumn oyster]

ah alright

[shut sorrel]

Too much thinking about little things

[autumn oyster]

yeah 100%

i just want my code to be fully professional

so that there's literally

no way to improve upon it

incase i ever decide to do this professionally in a team

What is the best and most optimized method for making minimaps?

[tight pewter]

thanks for the feedback

[urban dagger]

whats it for looks interesting

@tight pewter ^

[tight pewter]

i dont wanna say lol

[shut sorrel]

The most optimized way is to use a top down image or drawing of your map, using viewportframe would be resource intense while editable image would be even more resource intense

[vagrant hull]

WHY DOES IT IMPORT BRIGHTER? does anyone know like bro please

[shut sorrel]

are you sure it's not from the lighting of the sun in the engine

[noble sonnet]

Hm make like a big decal of the map?

[shut sorrel]

Sometimes it makes things off color based on angle and time of day

[shut sorrel]

Yes like place a imagelabel of the whole map inside a 1:1 frame, just move the position of the imagelabel around

[vagrant hull]

no bro

[noble sonnet]

Hmm ok intresting

[tight pewter]

how would editable image use more resources?

it would just be an image after the drawings are done

unless roblox does all those draw calls over and over again (which would be dumb)

but yeah if his map isn't procedurally generated then top-down image (or manual drawing) of the map would be fine

[shut sorrel]

I suppose drawing the image once wouldn't be intense, I was more thinking if it was drawn every frame

[vagrant hull]

its not even from the lightning

there its a surface gui

shouldnt be affected

so why? can someone help

[tight pewter]

yeah immediate draw calls every frame can be intensive, but surely roblox doesnt do that... im sure roblox renders the image as a whole with hardware acceleration after youre done with immediate draw calls.

[shut sorrel]

Maybe it's the color mode when you export from Photoshop

[vagrant hull]

its rgb

[shut sorrel]

is there rgba

I haven't used Photoshop in a while

[vagrant hull]

ion think so

[shut sorrel]

Nah idk why, you can change the image color3 at least

Make it a tiny bit darker from properties

[vagrant hull]

ok ill try wait

[shut sorrel]

My best guess is either Roblox image compression changing colors some reason during uploading or it's the lighting in the game, like you can have color correction in your game too

under lighting

BROO righttt

the color correction

it was

also I think the load screen can be worked on and make sure no other frames will be shown when the load screen is shown
because it pops up the events and stuff

also during the load screen hhide the chat

[misty valve]

i have to do script sync every time i start studio.?

[sullen wasp]

false positive

[regal salmon]

jiggle physics?!??!!

i had a gif in mind but i cant find it

[austere epoch]

Hi!

[regal salmon]

[brazen pelican]

How can I script ai for this deer? I took him from the toolbox and I think he is broken

[regal salmon]

is that an animation or is it modeled so that the deer is looking down

[brazen pelican]

It’s rigged with blender

[regal salmon]

ahh i see okay

[floral estuary]

nice codes

Why the tf was making a disappearing and reappearing block when touching a button so difficult brooo😪(shi still buggy)

[umbral bone]

just make tween

[lyric lark]

@umbral bone ok

[umbral bone]

you make a serverscript with the anchored part ok, and use tweenservice:create on the part and create a tween for the cframe property and make a point to where it goes

[autumn oak]

why my game say there sno part called orb in workspace while ther is a part called orb there

[void spear]

This error usually happens because the script is running before the part has finished loading into the game, or because the script is running on the client (LocalScript) while the part only exists on the server. Even if you see it in the Explorer window, the code cannot find it at the exact moment it looks for it.
Here are the most common reasons and solutions:

1. The Part Hasn't Loaded Yet (Most Common)
   If you are using a LocalScript or a Script that runs immediately, it might be looking for "orb" before it actually appears in the Workspace.
   Solution: Use :WaitForChild() instead of directly referencing it.
   Change this: local orb = game.Workspace.orb
   To this: local orb = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("orb")
2. Streaming Enabled is On
   If StreamingEnabled is turned on in your workspace settings, Roblox intentionally hides parts that are far away from the player to reduce lag. If your script is trying to access a part that has been "streamed out," it will act as if it does not exist.
   Solution: Put the script inside the part itself, or ensure the player is close enough to the part for it to load. Alternatively, you can disable StreamingEnabled in the Workspace properties (though this may cause lag).
3. Client vs. Server Discrepancy
   If a Script on the server creates the part, a LocalScript on the client might not see it immediately.
   Solution: Use game.Workspace:WaitForChild("orb") in your local script to wait for the server to replicate the part to the client.
4. Typos or Parent Issue
   Double-check the exact name in the Explorer (case-sensitive) and make sure it is directly inside Workspace and not hidden inside a Model or Folder.
   Summary Checklist
   Is the part named orb exactly? (Case-sensitive)
   Is it directly in Workspace?
   Are you using game.Workspace:WaitForChild("orb")?
   If you are using a LocalScript to detect the part, #1 is almost certainly the fix.

[fresh basalt]

always use waitforchild

[stiff saddle]

Ai

[elder turret]

why

how would i am any attack without cursor?

[zealous gorge]

Is it possible to disable texture streaming?

[zealous gorge]

Nevermind, found it.

[faint garnet]

why do people say use server sided cooldowns over just a boolean in the client

[granite igloo]

because exploiters can bypass the latter

[stone vapor]

is there a way to make it possible to read only uniqueid for a script bc i wanted to test smt

[brazen pelican]

you saying my photo is ai? 😭 😭 😭

[red geyser]

feed him

or her

sometimes things in toolbox are js hungry 😄

fly = double w
kill = q
punch = right click

[atomic hearth]

and G for Gonnnn

we all gonna press g am i right?

[stray oak]

because you already have a custom cursor, no?

[simple totem]

lowk paying someone 1.5k robux per hour that they teach me scripting trust ✌️

(I know the basics like what local functions are and how to set variables but)

first hour will be teaching me sum more basic stuff and the rest is teaching me combat systems 🥀

[sonic wolf]

yes

[autumn oak]

ai

[sage solstice]

u can learn easily with Udemy

and basic stuff is like minimum 5 days

[opal yarrow]

Yo anyone know how can I change the size of a model? Since chat gpt is saying don't make changes in a model on client by using toscale method so how can I tween my model to small and back to normal for a punchy feel

[umbral bone]

Model:ScaleTo(newScaleFactor)

[umbral bone]

Model:GetScale()

[umbral bone]

you're welcome

just do Model:ScaleTo(Model:GetScale()*Multiplier)

[autumn oyster]

ngl ive looked at some videos of what rojo is and how it operates

seems like an absolutely horrible abstraction

for VERY little benefit if any at all

[split gazelle]

is it bad if someone uses ai to fix there code (like Claude or sum) ????

[serene parrot]

As a scripter what should you know/be able to do before starting commissionins

[autumn oyster]

no, ai is an amazing tool for learning just as long as you understand what went wrong and what the ai fixed

[autumn oyster]

make a groundbreaking discovery in quantum physics for which you are awarded a nobel prize

[azure coral]

figure out the cure to cancer

[split gazelle]

Just aslong as you dont use it to make the code

[split gazelle]

thanks

[zenith pollen]

ngl at the end of the day

it does not matter

[peak jolt]

idk why people keep saying ai is good for learning and bad for making code

like its quite literally the opposite

[graceful breach]

Who has an idea on applying a quad or cubic tween in a RunService Event ? In my case it's for moving camera

[split gazelle]

wait im confused so what is it then

is it bad for fixing code???

[peak jolt]

you dont use it as a beginner to learn because the information it gives is often incorrect and you dont know yet how to fact check it, and it may refer to outdated documentation (if it's referring to documentation at all)

you also dont use it to debug for you because then you dont learn how debugging works

and at some point your code will get more complex and you get a problem that ai cant find but you still have no clue how to debug so youre basically stuck on square 1 again

on the other hand it is a great tool for just writing code top to bottom as well as refactoring

people make the mistake of treating ai like a teacher when its really just a classmate reading the same textbooks that you are

[split gazelle]

Mmm

okay

[autumn oyster]

ai is AMAZING only as long as you know how to utilize it properly

Personally, im able to learn things 2-3 times faster than an average person simply because of it

i wouldn't be at the level of programming knowledge im at today without it

[wanton cloud]

It also can produce unsafe code which can lead to your game being easily exploited

[azure coral]

i agree 100% i had to spend more time trying to get correct prompts than actually coding (shocker i know) then i ditched AI and finally felt true freedom of code

[autumn oyster]

id 100% put it onto the level of teacher

you just have to use your common sense and use it as a tool for learning

not as a slave that writes code for you

[azure coral]

that unfortunately is what vibecoders mainly treat it as lol

[autumn oyster]

AI is INSANELY powerful for learning like i genuinely cannot glaze it enough. it's an all knowing being that answers any question in any topic instantly

its a topic im very passionate about

[azure coral]

i would've also agreed if not for AI being really difficult to get context across

in the end contexts cant be implied through text

[autumn oyster]

and as long as you use common sense and know how to cross check information you wont accept fake information from it, i very rarely have it hallucinate but when it does im able to cross check that information.

[autumn oyster]

yes

thats a big problem with people

that use ai to make code for them

[azure coral]

yea

[autumn oyster]

thats exactly why you use it for learning where context doesnt really matter

let me

give me a second

i cant even think of a great example atm

but something like
"is a roblox dictionary hash-lookup faster than using table.find?"

[umbral bone]

rojo is only meant to make yourself look badass

[autumn oyster]

watched a video on it shit looked like 10 packs of ass

[umbral bone]

bro just use normal roblox studio

[autumn oyster]

genuinely who thought storing all of the game instances in a json file is a good idea

[umbral bone]

rbxm better

[azure coral]

you can store game instances in a json file?

[autumn oyster]

it's literally a slower, worse version of a rbxl file

[azure coral]

tf???

[umbral bone]

yeah but it sucks

[autumn oyster]

sort of, rojo stores game instances and their properties in json

[umbral bone]

if rojo is outdated then it dies

[autumn oyster]

i actually made a function to do just this lol

[azure coral]

vro just use .rbxl aint that deep

[umbral bone]

yeah thats why rojo users is tryna look badass

[autumn oyster]

rojo is so ass bru

plus i believe roblox studio came out with a beta feature for file sync

[umbral bone]

i want to get people who uses rojo

im gonna slander them

[azure coral]

i have the habit of constantly saving my game as files whenever i change even a tiny bit of code

[autumn oyster]

so if you really want to use an external code editor just use that

[autumn oyster]

yea same here

my place that i made like 3 weeks ago has 3k saves

[umbral bone]

why do you need external code editor

other than making some dodgy stuff

that breaks roblox tos

almost

[autumn oyster]

?? what are you talking about

[umbral bone]

or maybe not

[azure coral]

trust me you dont wanna know how many saves i made in a year on a game im workin on

[umbral bone]

like who uses external code editor for roblox

[autumn oyster]

everybody that uses rojo

[umbral bone]

and bro people who use rojo is sometimes making dodgy stuff

y know those sketchy stuff

[autumn oyster]

they are?

[azure coral]

exploits and stuff yea

[umbral bone]

i mean what else is the purpose of rojo

[azure coral]

atleast i've seen yt videos on that

[autumn oyster]

actually

thats a very good point

[umbral bone]

see

dude they will implement external code editors in executors

[autumn oyster]

because vscode is the source of truth, if you get banned you're fine

[umbral bone]

what else is the usage almost

[autumn oyster]

some people just prefer to use external code editors 🤷‍♂️

i personally believe the roblox ide is very good

so i got no need for an external one

but i might try the beta studio file sync

just out of curiosity

[azure coral]

i like it more than vscode sometimes though thats prolly cause im too used to it

[umbral bone]

bro a preference is okay but this

why do you prefer external code editors

[autumn oyster]

i dont.

[umbral bone]

it just doesnt make sense to me

[autumn oyster]

the whole point of rojo is not just external code editors but access to git

[umbral bone]

if its already inside

[peak jolt]

this is the exact opposite of what i said

like youre just asserting it

[umbral bone]

i mean git has almost little usage

[autumn oyster]

what are you talking about

[umbral bone]

but its alright

[autumn oyster]

alright now that is not true

every big corporation in the world uses git

[umbral bone]

bro what i said little usage is big projects

nevermind

[autumn oyster]

git is quite literally

[umbral bone]

what i said is git has almost little usage for roblox

[autumn oyster]

one of the biggest version control systems in the world

[umbral bone]

i had to rephrase it

my bad

[autumn oyster]

now id probably agree with that

considering that roblox has their own versioning control system

[umbral bone]

i didnt say specifically

[autumn oyster]

but from what ive heard is that its not great, where i can see either point

imo using roblox studio file sync with git is the go-to for those people

[umbral bone]

yep

[peak jolt]

"one of the biggest"

just stop larping man

[umbral bone]

just let him be bro

[autumn oyster]

ineternet care to explain what you meant by this?

[peak jolt]

i said that ai sucks at teaching but is good for just writing code

[autumn oyster]

that is simply not true

[peak jolt]

and then you say "uhh no actually its a good teacher and it cant write code for you"

[umbral bone]

its both

ai can teach and write code

[autumn oyster]

yeah i said the opposite because you're stupid

[umbral bone]

but it just depends

[autumn oyster]

💀

[umbral bone]

on training data

training data is what makes it work

[peak jolt]

why cant it write code

[autumn oyster]

ai should not be used to write code but teach. this guy is just stupid

[umbral bone]

training data limitation

[peak jolt]

my entire game is written by ai

[umbral bone]

cmon

[autumn oyster]

LOL

[peak jolt]

whats so funny

[umbral bone]

dude entire game written by ai

[autumn oyster]

AND YOU'RE CALLING ME A LARP?

son

[umbral bone]

are you serious

[azure coral]

I have no words, i pray you dont get skidded by 14 year olds on their mother's laptop

[autumn oyster]

ahahaha what an idiot

[umbral bone]

not single code was yourself?

[peak jolt]

i just know that it would have taken me 4x the time to write the amount of code it wrote myself

i know how to write everything it wrote but why would i bother

roblox scripting has almost zero depth to it

[autumn oyster]

son 💀

please never call anybody a larp in your life

[umbral bone]

it aint even good for writing code sometimes

[autumn oyster]

genuinely craziest shit ive heard all year

[umbral bone]

it failed at task making great anticheat

[autumn oyster]

i beg of you please pipe down ahaha

[azure coral]

oh lord help this person please tell me your code isn't 100% AI generated

[peak jolt]

like ive been working on the game for a month its around 15k lines and yes 100% of it is ai generated

[autumn oyster]

what a circus clown

[azure coral]

im geniunely worried

[peak jolt]

and i just dont understand whats so hard to comprehend

[azure coral]

game name?

[autumn oyster]

circus clown 🤣

[umbral bone]

bro why you replacing yourself with ai
