[umbral bone]

isnt there no passion in coding for yourself?

[peak jolt]

no there isnt i write code 8hrs a day already i just want to come home and make things

https://www.roblox.com/games/138246711459476/Hostile-Takeover

[umbral bone]

0 passion?

you do not have passion?

[autumn oyster]

ineternet when he's asked what __newindex is

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-spongebob-spongebob-meme-patrick-meme-dumb-patrick-gif-9974665538168463324

[umbral bone]

why bother writing code 8 hours a day

[peak jolt]

to.. make money

income?

[umbral bone]

you dont need

[autumn oyster]

akundisco passion is not the problem here ahaha

[peak jolt]

employment

[umbral bone]

its not your passion

[peak jolt]

if i dont make money i cant pay rent?

[umbral bone]

go find a job that fits your passion

no no

like can you make music

if coding doesnt fit your passion

[azure coral]

alright lemme review it though the thumbnails irk me a little

[autumn oyster]

LOL

SON I HAVENT EVEN JOINED

https://i.e-z.host/micorwave/saz14zte.png

[umbral bone]

anything thats your true passion

[peak jolt]

dude creating is my passion and id code roblox games myself if i have to but i dont have to because ai writes the code for me

[autumn oyster]

"income"

[umbral bone]

create lego prosthetics arm

[autumn oyster]

LOL

[umbral bone]

create a new invention for cure cancer

[azure coral]

ok yall are just bullying ineternet

hear em out first

[umbral bone]

create a new viral video

[autumn oyster]

ineternet i beg of you please just stop talking now and embarassing yourself. your "game" is not even mouse locked??

[umbral bone]

thats so bad

he should quit coding bruh

[autumn oyster]

dude hes an idiot

[umbral bone]

clearly it aint his passion

passion is the essence of motivation

[peak jolt]

but im not coding

i already said that the ai codes for me

[umbral bone]

my bad

i mean creating games for roblox

you should quit that

[peak jolt]

why would i quit that

[umbral bone]

it wastes your time

[peak jolt]

you know a game involves more work than just coding

[umbral bone]

there is no result

1 month for what

i achieved money within 1 month and its using ai too

and not related to roblox

[peak jolt]

there doesnt have to be a result its just a hobby and its fun to make games?

[umbral bone]

you said you want to make money

[peak jolt]

when did i say that

[umbral bone]

you

[autumn oyster]

then stop trying to sound knowledgeable in roblox development discord servers when you quite literally know nothing in the grand scheme of things.

[umbral bone]

fricking idiot

[azure coral]

i like your enthusiasm but like the game is a bit too dry for "15k" lines

[umbral bone]

i had to say it

[peak jolt]

yes i said that im coding 8hrs a day to make money this is called a job

and its not on roblox

and then i come home and work on my roblox game because i like making games

[umbral bone]

bro that coding 8 hours a day has result?

[autumn oyster]

LARPING ABOUT A JOB??

dude stop

https://tenor.com/view/zarlie-zirk-gif-9277731991787754864

[azure coral]

im literally clipping through the floor

thats not a great job

[umbral bone]

bro 8 hrs a day for what

lol

[peak jolt]

where

[umbral bone]

8 hrs a day of sitting in the couch with crusted cheetos fingers

[peak jolt]

you are replying to a guy talking about my roblox game which is again not my job

[azure coral]

the top most floor in the garage part

[umbral bone]

like bro

[peak jolt]

u havent even started the game yet

[umbral bone]

atleast put some work

[peak jolt]

go in the elevator

[umbral bone]

its so lifeless

[autumn oyster]

ineternet please never try judging anybody in your life again ahaha, this isnt your area of expertise

[umbral bone]

why would you make something that doesnt contribute to anything

i mean it contributes little

[peak jolt]

i never judged a person i said what i know about ai for making roblox games

[azure coral]

im in the game wdym

[umbral bone]

but why

[azure coral]

????

[autumn oyster]

yeah, and clearly you dont know enough?

[umbral bone]

you should already create a new lego prosthetics arm

[peak jolt]

there is no garage in the game place youre in the lobby i think

[umbral bone]

instead of wasting time on ai slop

[autumn oyster]

so why do you think your opinion carries any weight with it?

[umbral bone]

if creating is your passion

[autumn oyster]

you dont know how to program

you genuinely have to use ai

[peak jolt]

i dont have to use ai i just use it because its faster

[autumn oyster]

and youve never produced anything of reasonable quality?

now you think you can try and say im wrong?

[umbral bone]

like bro if creating is his passion why he create slop for 1 month instead of a good thing in real life, like something that helps people

[autumn oyster]

🤦‍♂️

[umbral bone]

like he needs to asnwer that

[peak jolt]

do you know what a hobby is

[umbral bone]

i dont to hear that hobby

change your hobby

[azure coral]

theres no UI cant tell

add ui elements

like tiny bit

[peak jolt]

you telling someone to change their hobby makes me think you dont know what a hobby is

[umbral bone]

change your hobby

[autumn oyster]

im leaving, ineternet please never touch roblox game dev again 😂

https://tenor.com/view/crine-im-crine-son-im-crine-anthony-mackie-tiktok-gif-10273212848663596705

[umbral bone]

its not worth it

[peak jolt]

go in here on the bottom floor and press the start game prompt

[umbral bone]

idk why would you make this game anyways

[peak jolt]

so you still dont know what a hobby is

[azure coral]

uh i reset and cant spawn back not sure if its a ping issue on my part

[umbral bone]

yeah that hobby sucks

[azure coral]

nevermind cant spawn

help

[peak jolt]

i think you have to rejoin then i never tried dying in the lobby

[umbral bone]

if killing people is an hobby

[azure coral]

aight then

[umbral bone]

does that mean its justified

clearly not

[peak jolt]

what do you mean justified

[umbral bone]

like exist

society wont allow that to exist

[peak jolt]

like people go skateboarding as hobby is that a bad thing also

[umbral bone]

are you dumb

this ai slop is viewed bad to most opinions

[peak jolt]

you dont see the code when you play the game how is it slop

none of the in game assets are made by ai

[umbral bone]

well well

i won

you contradicted yourself

thats what i wanna hear

[peak jolt]

the only statement i made is that 100% of the code is written by ai and that remains true?

[umbral bone]

not really

you said

something that contradicts

[peak jolt]

what is contradicting that

[azure coral]

@peak jolt wave starts sooner than autoselection

thus causes an unfair gameplay

[umbral bone]

this

[peak jolt]

thats intentional you can just select an upgrade yourself

[azure coral]

i did i thought it was meant to close automatically

[peak jolt]

you have to click the text the ui is bugged i havent worked on that yet

[umbral bone]

the result of ai code bro

[azure coral]

alright i will give credit on dragging objects n stuff thats neat

but uh its a bit unpolished

[umbral bone]

i think thats just

is that custom dragging

[azure coral]

sometimes when grabbing it kinda clips you through the walls

[peak jolt]

these things are hard to get right and im still working on it but im focusing on getting the necessary features working before polishing the rest

i never said heres my fully working game :/

[umbral bone]

it aint hard

[peak jolt]

if you played the game you would undestand that it is hard

[azure coral]

on that note the enemy npcs fighting is polished which i like but is a little bit of uh how should i put it

[umbral bone]

is it hard

[azure coral]

a bit unpredictable

[azure coral]

not that hard

[tough vapor]

bro whther u use ai or not doesnt matter if people wont even see the code

[umbral bone]

yeah i got your opinion

[azure coral]

i mean im running 48 chrome tabs while playing on an i3 laptop

[umbral bone]

bro it would be broken

[tough vapor]

not always

[umbral bone]

i mean all the result of ai code is exploitable

well almost all

[azure coral]

@peak jolt i suggest learning a bit of basic programming concepts to fully polish the game even if you use ai or not

[umbral bone]

he codes 8 hrs a day

he probably knows

[azure coral]

oh

[tough vapor]

i mean not if you understand it

[azure coral]

i mean honestly 8 hours a day and this game is a bit of a lacking

but i could see the direction they were heading

[peak jolt]

i havent worked on this game 8 hours a day for the 5th time

i do this when i have time i said 8hrs a day is my fucking day job

[umbral bone]

bro

[azure coral]

ah thanks for clarifying

[umbral bone]

i mean bro

[peak jolt]

i completely understand if u mean that sincerely but i can also imagine u havent tried every feature there is to offer yet

which i cant blame u for either cause there isnt a tutorial or many in game hints in general

[azure coral]

no no its fine i tried my best to play but i cant as im running roblox studio with actual 12 tabs and your game

its sortof my fault also

however i still would recommend getting basics done of coding if you have like maybe 10 mins of time trust me its really helpful

it would be really nice since you would be able to patch any bugs yourself without having to keep on constantly prompting (i had this happen to me)

[peak jolt]

i do know how to code my whole point at the start was that ai is not great for learning but it is great for writing bulk code if you already know how to do so yourself

but also its actually often faster to ask ai to fix bugs just because it can do so in a lot of files at once + you can parallelize it

[azure coral]

i agree to a bit of an extent however from personal experience i have seen more harm being done to my codebase than actual progress to the point i actually was burnt out

its my opinion but you do you ig

[peak jolt]

there are surprisingly little "bugs" in general i mean stuff like clipping through the floor isnt a code bug its just an oversight/lack of a feature

[umbral bone]

it sometimes reaeches the point where if there is limited training data then it will not output great result

[peak jolt]

cause it just aligns u to the object

like i could ask ai "make it so the object is animated for the first few frames" i just havent done that yet cause that would be a lot of lines for little gameplay payoff

[azure coral]

tbf i gave the AI i was prompting a very unusual task something which is usually done by implementing your own neural network library inside of roblox

[umbral bone]

for really simple games ai can excel

[peak jolt]

your game is the training data though

[umbral bone]

oh my god

do i have to explain ai policies

[peak jolt]

im using new apis that the ai 100% doesnt have in its training data but it just knows how to use it because its already been done 10x elsewhere in the codebase

[azure coral]

i wish i could share a pic of why i dont trust ai with bulk code especially mine but i cant

[umbral bone]

idk if there is ai policies

[peak jolt]

this is also why git+rojo helps because you can make changes in a feature branch and you know exactly what the ai did + code review it + precisely undo specific things it did wrong

[azure coral]

which model?

[umbral bone]

to protect your game becoming training data

[peak jolt]

chatgpt codex

[peak jolt]

well like i said 100% of the code is ai generated so u cant really apply that here

[azure coral]

honestly you do you if you want to get it done by AI then go ahead as long as you dont rub it into others faces

[peak jolt]

from the very start

[azure coral]

mine was too from the start

[tight pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/terminator2-judgement-day-t800-war-gif-19401019

[peak jolt]

i just said here that i know from experience that ai can do this task and got shit from ppl saying the opposite (evidently without having tried it properly) like i just put my game as an example for why it does work i didnt really come in here to show off my ai generated game and ai is so good guys

[azure coral]

same in terms of experience except mine aligns with other's experiences with AI

again you can make your game however way you please its just im a bit concerned your game may have potential security holes

yk from experience

truth be told i didnt even reach more than 2k lines of code, i've actually almost achieved majority of my tasks under it which ig could be an accomplishment

(i thought i needed to code 30k lines total!)

[old forum]

yo is coroutines really worth learning rn?

[umbral bone]

depends

[old forum]

wym

[umbral bone]

i said it depends

means

whats your project

in the future?

@old forum

[old forum]

so im just going to be a scripter for others

not really me making projects at the moment

[umbral bone]

its not worth it if you are dealing with

stuff that

yield the code

which almost doesnt happen

[old forum]

really

ok

[azure coral]

coroutine is somewhat my lifetime lol

[old forum]

ive been trying to learn the coroutine.wrap

[old forum]

whats that mean

[azure coral]

mb i meant lifeline

not lifetime

[umbral bone]

ehh not my taste because it requires more hand fingers power

[azure coral]

yea i understand

[umbral bone]

for you

[azure coral]

i use it cause you can split stuff into pseudo-threads

[umbral bone]

not required i think

[azure coral]

fake threads

yea no way you need that typa stuff

[old forum]

oh

[umbral bone]

making scripts for people need fast work

[rocky idol]

everytime i make scripts that are not modular, and the second a change comes everything just falls, it feels like i have to have everything planned before i even make 1 line otherwise everything crumbles apart

[old forum]

oh fr

[azure coral]

this i agree 100%

[azure coral]

yea just learn stuff like vectors n shii

[umbral bone]

yeah super good

[azure coral]

cframe manipulation, lookvectors, vector.unit

very useful trust me

[old forum]

aight so imma kip coroutines rn

[old forum]

oh ok

[umbral bone]

what have you learnt

i suggest learning optimizing codes and make it less time consuming

so you can do efficient work and chill more faster

and still get paid

if you are tryna make money

[azure coral]

this and if you are really new learn about arrays and programming concepts in general

first learn the basics and basic optimization and then go forward with position vector stuff and then to coroutine handling n stuff

[bright venture]

Broo i cant find a scripter that can make me a train system

[old forum]

i have learned the basics like lexical script functions and shi but now i want to get into the advance stuff

[umbral bone]

which

[umbral bone]

bro stop doing advanced stuff

its not recommended

[bright venture]

I cant find no one to make me a train system

[umbral bone]

i started from advanced and it hurts my brain

it still hurts

today

[azure coral]

no no they want to move forward with scripting

[old forum]

wait so what do i do

[bright venture]

Also how can i hire a physics person

[old forum]

yea

[umbral bone]

intermediate first

[old forum]

like i have alr have done the basics

[umbral bone]

i almost puked doing advanced stuff

like legit almost puked irl

[bright venture]

Can you make train systems

[old forum]

oh dang

[azure coral]

so you know about arrays, dictionaries and tables in general?

[umbral bone]

idk maybe are you willing to pay

[azure coral]

how to manipulate them and all?

[bright venture]

Noo im gonna let someone do a 3 week scripting for free xdd. Ofc

[azure coral]

stuff like 1D array where it is like a list and 2D array which contains 2 things per index

[bright venture]

Its half finished the system

[old forum]

yes sir array is in chronological order and dictionaries are not in order so you will have to use key value pairs

[umbral bone]

what?

[bright venture]

Im willing to pay

[azure coral]

nice

[umbral bone]

ok

[umbral bone]

im in

[old forum]

ty

[shy lodge]

yo

[azure coral]

have you messed around with task.wait, task.spawn ?

their main uses

[shy lodge]

DM ME i need help

[old forum]

i have used the task library with yeilding

like this

[azure coral]

i mean its a bit basic

i kinda wanted to mean as in advanced task library stuffs

[old forum]

yea it is super easy to do

[azure coral]

like task.synchronize()

[old forum]

but efficient

[azure coral]

or task.desynchronize()

[umbral bone]

TASK SYNCHRONIZE

[old forum]

uh whats that

[old forum]

..

[azure coral]

alright you know what serial and parallel means?

like in general

[old forum]

ik what parallel is

[azure coral]

Serial means it goes one by one. so like first it would print AHHHH then it would print NOOOOO

[old forum]

ohhh

ok so lke in order

[azure coral]

yes

there you go

[old forum]

i understade

how would you implement it into code

[azure coral]

now task.desynchronize() is used to run functions (keyword functions) in parallel

[azure coral]

you simple use it inside a function

to make it run parallel to the main script

[autumn oyster]

maybe this would make more sense

[azure coral]

so it runs al togehter

[old forum]

oh yes of cs the ()

[autumn oyster]

idk if im just confusing you further with it tho

[old forum]

ohh

[azure coral]

yes this

[old forum]

thank you

[azure coral]

one important thing though you cant use certain things when using task.desynchronize or when you are running a function in parallel

[autumn oyster]

why does he need parallel luau?

[azure coral]

things like humanoids

[azure coral]

he wants to advance his k n o w l e d g e

[autumn oyster]

ah

[old forum]

yea

i put all my scripts in folders that i learned

[autumn oyster]

i feel like parallel luau is something you learn towards the end of your learning journey as you wont ever really need it

but 🤷‍♂️

[azure coral]

i learnt it few months back lol

[old forum]

wow

[autumn oyster]

yea i learned it like a year ago and made a multi-threaded real-time raycaster with it

[azure coral]

oh yeah good idea i should try that

[old forum]

is it hard to make a shop system

[azure coral]

not even close with the skill level of yours

you could make it with in like 10 minutes honestly

[old forum]

wow

[autumn oyster]

oh i thought you were saying it's hard

[azure coral]

my brain is currently undergoing maintenance as it tries to process the debauchery of a code i wrote few mins ago

(i put 4 for loops in a while loop running each 0.001s with additional for loops inside the for loops)

[autumn oyster]

im refactoring my entire codebase atm

[azure coral]

idk what im doing with myself

[autumn oyster]

reorganizing everything lol

[azure coral]

wow

i cant even look at my own codebase

without regurgitating

[azure coral]

oh shii i forgot to ask if you have learnt about remote events

[autumn oyster]

im trying to make everything perfectly

so that implementing new features is really really smoothe

[azure coral]

nice

[vocal relic]

how do you structure your games

[old forum]

not yet i reallly want to though

[autumn oyster]

it used to be really bad but

what im doing now is

[old forum]

i never understood how they worded

[azure coral]

ohhh mb you prolly should do that first and foremost

[old forum]

oh ok np

[autumn oyster]

grouping everything by feature so

[azure coral]

basically some roblox players are a lil quirky and very no no evil

so roblox was salty abt it and decided to seperate client and server

[autumn oyster]

https://i.e-z.host/micorwave/p0rvhsxe.png

[azure coral]

what in the world is that organization holy

thats dedication

[vocal relic]

nice single script architecture?

[autumn oyster]

NameTag manager has a module inside of it

which is a single module of class NameTag

has a constructor .new() and :Update()

the NameTagManager

controls all the NameTag class instances

[stray oak]

it's easier to do everything first than organize it

[autumn oyster]

opposite imo

[vocal relic]

but do you load your modules inside a global table?

[autumn oyster]

    table.insert(self.NameTaggedCharacters, NameTag.new(character))
end

return NameTagManager```it makes it so that my nametag manager code looks really nice and easy

[azure coral]

what is "self" used for? (sorry for sounding dumb)

i never used it and usually ignored it

[autumn oyster]

ahaha dw ive only ever properly found out how to take advantage of it a few weeks ago

basically

[broken grove]

its for objects where the method either needs properties of the object or will change properties of the object in what it does

like think of a Tool object with method :Equip() and property RBLXTool
you need that property to equip the tool. To get it, you would either have to pass the tool into the equip function or use self (which is a parameter automatically passed that is the object the method is in)

[autumn oyster]

say you make a class like this

local NameTag = {}
NameTag.__index = NameTag

function Nametag.new(character)
    local self = setmetatable({
        Character = character
    }, NameTag)
    
    return self
end

function NameTag:PrintCharacter()
    print(self.Character)
end```

now in another script you can do

local NameTag = require(ReplicatedStorage.NameTag)

local localPlayersNameTag = NameTag.new(Players.LocalPlayer.Character)

while task.wait(0.1) do
  localPlayersNameTag:PrintCharacter()
end```

[azure coral]

ah i see

[autumn oyster]

local myTable = {}

-- this is identical
function myTable:Print()
  print(self)
end

-- to this
function myTable.Print(self)
  print(self)
end

it was sorta hard for me to wrap my head around how to use this properly

but once i figured it out, it helped my workflow a HUGE amount

[azure coral]

this actually might be helpful for me lol

[autumn oyster]

they're amazing imo

[azure coral]

i've been thugging out with making algorithms and stuff from basic stuff like for loops and ofcourse the regular libraries roblox offers 😭

could've spent less time finding some obscure way of doing things and instead could've used this

[autumn oyster]

ahaha

it helps with keeping code clean

isn't exactly essential

[old forum]

this is like OOp

[autumn oyster]

yes

[old forum]

beacause the self

[autumn oyster]

it's OOP

[pallid bear]

hi

[old forum]

its kinda hard to do that for me

i dont get the the self

see i cant write this agin

[autumn oyster]

you are doing everything right

print(rect:GetArea())

[old forum]

really?

[autumn oyster]

yes

[autumn oyster]

your code is entirely correct just change the print at the end to this

[old forum]

oh ok

[autumn oyster]

or whatever function you wanna call

[old forum]

broo i want to make a tower slap game

[prisma shell]

everyone waiting on shared self be like

[old forum]

huh?

[azure coral]

slap tower?

[old forum]

so yall i have a question will i really need to use metatables OOp

alot or really

[azure coral]

i mean you can use it i dont usually use it much

its like coroutines kinda though a bit more simpler

its better if you first learn about stuff like remote events then go on to this

[old forum]

ihave the metatables down but to use it often might be a challenge

[old forum]

oh ok

[azure coral]

your gonna need those more interms of client to server communication (i.e player input to server's processing and output)

[old forum]

ohh ok

[remote crane]

.Name

[autumn oyster]

no lol

printing an instance prints the name of the instance + the instance source in the explorer

which is better

[remote crane]

open souce luau?

[remote root]

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

------Services
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

---

local Bat = script.Parent
------Animations
local BatIdleAnimation = Bat.BatIdleAnim
local BatIdleAnimTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(BatIdleAnimation)
BatIdleAnimTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
BatIdleAnimTrack.Looped = true
local BatWindupAnimation = Bat.BatWindupAnim
local BatWindupAnimTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(BatWindupAnimation)
BatWindupAnimTrack.Looped = false
BatWindupAnimTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action2

local debounce = false

Bat.Equipped:Connect(function()
BatIdleAnimTrack:Play()
end)
Bat.Unequipped:Connect(function()
BatIdleAnimTrack:Stop()
end)

Bat.Activated:Connect(function()
if debounce then return end
debounce = true
BatWindupAnimTrack:Play()
task.wait(1)
BatWindupAnimTrack:Pause()
end)

Bat.Deactivated:Connect(function()
debounce = false
BatWindupAnimTrack:Stop()
end)

why when i hold left mouse button here the animation doesnt pause but stops

[prisma shell]

Right now you have to define self explicitly if you want to do oop 'right' and get static analysis. The shared self RFC proposes that all methods defined with : syntax share the same metatable, making oop less annoying in luau.

current 'best' way:

[remote crane]

ai

[remote root]

?

[remote crane]

isthis in roblox or open source cause u cant like use type in rblx

[autumn oyster]

i dont totally understand you here

does it have to do with the type system?

actually

[prisma shell]

this code works in both roblox and outside roblox

[old forum]

oh

[autumn oyster]

i do understand you

but there's a way around what you said no?

you can use the colon syntax

[fresh gyro]

aint nobody want basic beginner work i thought i could gain experience lol

[autumn oyster]

[remote crane]

usure gng, type doesnt work in roblox cause u cant make your own types the normal way

[prisma shell]

why would roblox spend 4+ years adding a type system to luau if you can't use types in roblox

you need to set --!strict at the top of your script or change the workspace property for strict typechecking

[remote crane]

u cant bro

[silver verge]

is this bait

[remote root]

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

------Services
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

---

local Bat = script.Parent
------Animations
local BatIdleAnimation = Bat.BatIdleAnim
local BatIdleAnimTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(BatIdleAnimation)
BatIdleAnimTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
BatIdleAnimTrack.Looped = true
local BatWindupAnimation = Bat.BatWindupAnim
local BatWindupAnimTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(BatWindupAnimation)
BatWindupAnimTrack.Looped = false
BatWindupAnimTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action2

local debounce = false

Bat.Equipped:Connect(function()
BatIdleAnimTrack:Play()
end)
Bat.Unequipped:Connect(function()
BatIdleAnimTrack:Stop()
end)

Bat.Activated:Connect(function()
if debounce then return end
debounce = true
BatWindupAnimTrack:Play()
task.wait(1)
BatWindupAnimTrack:Pause()
end)

Bat.Deactivated:Connect(function()
debounce = false
BatWindupAnimTrack:Stop()
end)

why when i hold left mouse button here the animation doesnt pause but stops

[remote crane]

no llike imn roblox if u make a script u cant just do

type water

[silver verge]

yes you can

[prisma shell]

go to #code-help this channel is for code that works

[autumn oyster]

local NameTag = {}
NameTag.__index = NameTag

type self = {
  abc: number
}

export type NameTag = setmetatable({} :: self, NameTag)

function NameTag:Abc()
  print(self.abc)
end```this works fine with colon syntax

unless im missing something

[remote crane]

the wait

[old forum]

isnt OOp like making parts inside of scripts

[remote crane]

not open source, in roblox

[silver verge]

roblox uses luau

[remote crane]

not the exact same

[silver verge]

they are the exact same

[autumn oyster]

the exact same dude

[remote crane]

no thy arnt

[prisma shell]

i think that person's just trolling

[silver verge]

the luau team is paid by roblox bro 😭😭

they are the same language

[old forum]

yo

[autumn oyster]

the luau source is literally under the roblox github account lol

[prisma shell]

it's under luau-lang but we get your point

[autumn oyster]

oh it is?

[prisma shell]

the luau programming language team is employed by roblox corporation to make luau. they have invested heavily in making a type system so roblox programmers can write code that has proper autocomplete, hover documentation, and has a higher guarantee that it doesn't explode at runtime

[remote crane]

no like , on github that luau doesnt have any of thes service, cant use load string well on roblox luau

[autumn oyster]

yea but the type system is really bad

[silver verge]

types are a core part of the language so roblox has them

same way it has buffers and vectors

[remote crane]

roblox has types u cant make more the standard way

[silver verge]

https://luau.org/types/

[prisma shell]

roblox data types like Instance, game, etc. are called extern types and are injected into the Luau programming language by the embedder. In this case Roblox is embedding Luau into Roblox's game engine, so in roblox you see Roblox's extern types.

[silver verge]

that is the standard way

[remote crane]

not that

[autumn oyster]

--!strict

type NameTagInstance = BillboardGui & {
    PlrName: TextLabel
}

local nameTag = workspace.BillboardGui :: NameTagInstance

local plrName = nameTag.PlrName -- warning```

[silver verge]

go open a script yourself and test it man

[prisma shell]

If you want to do what roblox does with classes like BaseParts and whatever, you need to be a Luau embedder (not a user!)

[autumn oyster]

to be fair, this doesnt exactly have to do with the type system being bad

clearly some roblox bug

[prisma shell]

that's a bug, they'll fix it whenever

[autumn oyster]

but i spent hours thinking i was doing something wrong

[silver verge]

when is "types" getting autocomplete when i'm writing type functions

[prisma shell]

you used to be able to fix that by doing { plrName: TextLabel } & BillboardGui

[silver verge]

it's so ass to do it in studio

[autumn oyster]

that didnt fix it either lol

[prisma shell]

uhh this already works in luau lsp

[autumn oyster]

because

then you wouldnt get billboardgui properties

[silver verge]

ye i remember it did

i've switched to studio for newer projects though

might have to use vsc JUST for writing them 😭

[prisma shell]

Fun fact, even tho it used to work in old solver and even though it's extremely helpful in Roblox, the luau team doesn't like this because techically, intersecting an extern type with a table type is nonsense and impossible. It just happens that roblox decided to override dot syntax (workspace.SomePart) 2 decades ago and now luau has to live with it

[silver verge]

can't you do typeof(instance) instead

and have the children typed properly

[prisma shell]

like, you can't just add more properties to a DateTime by doing local customdt = datetime.new(whatever) :: DateTime & { extrafields: extravals }

[autumn oyster]

yea but how else would you then define children of instances? the type system would be useless in roblox

[prisma shell]

roblox magic functions

[silver verge]

typeof(nametagtemplate)

[autumn oyster]

i remember doing that and it had it's own issues

[silver verge]

no clue how else you'd do it

[prisma shell]

that's why they came around to wanting to allow it. otherwise there might've been a type function to type them

[autumn oyster]

for complex instances it didnt index all of the descendants i believe and there were some other issues

so after running into like 2-3 really annoying bugs i just decided to drop strict type checking

[prisma shell]

the luau team too busy working on lute when there are alr multiple perfectly good luau runtimes that actually work and have decent DX that they aren't doing shared self or making Extern & { fields } work on roblox

[autumn oyster]

what is lute?

[prisma shell]

don't worry about it

[rose basin]

C++ jumpscare

[autumn oyster]

i would absolutely love to use the type system in roblox i just wish it wasn't as buggy

[prisma shell]

ironically, luau's type system is great for stuff outside roblox

i really enjoy using luau instead of python or ruby for scripting; it's great as a shell replacement or when you want something lightweight that's faster than python and does its job well.

[autumn oyster]

do most other games using embedded luau also use a tree hierarchy for instances

or is them not using that the reason luau fits better

or do you mean it’s better like, in non game engine scenarios

[prisma shell]

If you want to try luau outside roblox I recommend starting with seal because I made itit's reliable and easy to use, has high level apis that are more expressive than their equivalents in python, is easy to throw into existing projects as a shell scripting replacement, etc.: https://github.com/seal-runtime/seal

Oh also it's fully typed (new solver) and has inline documentation (thanks to Luau Language Server) for its entire stdlib api

[deft coral]

why would i use luau in anything outside of roblox

[tight pewter]

cause its the goat

[prisma shell]

cus it's fast and familiar

[deft coral]

interpreted languages are not fast

[prisma shell]

compared to python

[deft coral]

python is also not fast

[prisma shell]

<it's fast> compared to python

[deft coral]

im not even tryna be a stickler either, i just dont think interpreted languages are the move for most programs outside of game engines honestly

[deft coral]

its a cool project though, good job

[tight pewter]

thats kind of contradicting tbf

if its performant enough for game development its performant enough for anything else in most cases

[deft coral]

its not performant for game development is the thing

roblox needs lua because their target audience is to make development accessible, not fast code. the engine is intentionally lightweight

its about abstraction

if im making a program outside of roblox, i shouldnt abstract for myself to lua if that makes sense

[prisma shell]

i haven't ran into an issue where luau's execution time is a bottleneck, even with mluau's safety overhead. it typically performs much better than equivalent programs in python or ruby for light general purpose programming or shell scripting.

lua and luau aren't even good languages for abstractions. you have to write everything yourself and you don't have a first class syntax for oop or whatever.

[deft coral]

yeah im not saying lua is worse than python or ruby, ur speaking to someone who also does not value python to the degree it is used; in essence im a contrarian lol

[bright venture]

How do i hire people cause no one can make train systems bro

[deft coral]

i think lua is the best scripting language on the planet, bottom text

luau is even better

[prisma shell]

i wouldn't touch lua lmao

i can't even read code without type annotations anymore 😭 😭

[deft coral]

lmao

[tight pewter]

fair, i tried things like love2D a long time ago, it was cheeks.

[autumn oyster]

truest thing ever

[tight pewter]

but luau is fire

the optimizations and VM atleast

[autumn oyster]

dude

[deft coral]

lua is the best not because of its readability qualities or even speed (though it is fast), its the best because it can be absolutely anything you want it to be for the project you want

[autumn oyster]

ive always wanted to use luau outside of roblox but i assumed nobody made the proper libraries for it

[deft coral]

if you wanna make a program with lua, you need to be making your own runtime environment and customizing it like a character in an RPG

[autumn oyster]

such as you know file io, http functions, etc

[prisma shell]

oh yeah seal has allat

[tight pewter]

true

[prisma shell]

it's more featured than the lua stdlib abt thta stuff

[autumn oyster]

thats sick dude

[deft coral]

epicsauce

[grand oak]

drop lua and pick up any other language 💔

[deft coral]

brainfuck

[autumn oyster]

luau is amazing

[deft coral]

whatever its called

[prisma shell]

I've been working on an FFI alternative for seal which is basically cdylib (shared library) external plugins you can write in Rust, C++, C, C#, or whatever language you want that can expose extern symbols.

this one is a wrapper around a rust crate that is a wrapper around a c library for webviews

[deft coral]

does it literally say "at some location"

[autumn oyster]

thats also really sick

[deft coral]

please tell me it does

[charred trench]

im not really understanding scoping all that well, is there anything that goes more indepth about it?

[prisma shell]

lmao this is just a proof of concept. issue is i'm doing some really unsafe stuff to pull this off that assumes Rust has a stable ABI. the actual API will require you to use the luau stack directly so you can't easily segfault by using a cdylib compiled with a different version of the rust compiler

[autumn oyster]

is there some sort of simple api for ui? that seems kinda advanced lol

[prisma shell]

it's a disaster

ui is pain

[grand oak]

scoping?

[prisma shell]

roblox makes ui so easy but outside roblox have fun. especially if you're writing an application in rust

[autumn oyster]

ahaha

maybe like an imgui wrapper

[prisma shell]

yeah i think once i release externs you'd be able to pull that off

there's imgui crates in rust im pretty sure

or you can just write the plugin in c/++

[autumn oyster]

i hate rust but its amazing lol

to steep of a learning curve

[charred trench]

its hard to explain, you have a local function that can have multiple variables. you can either have one, a few, or all variables on at once

[prisma shell]

this is the worst way to explain variable scoping i've ever seen

[grand oak]

hahaha yeah

[charred trench]

I KNOW

[autumn oyster]

i mean, what would be confusing about variable scoping

[charred trench]

thats why im asking for help to understand it..

[autumn oyster]

its pretty self explanatory i think

[prisma shell]

it's not self explanatory. our primary language in uni was python so once we switched to ruby for a class i had people who straight up did not understand variable scoping

[charred trench]

this is my second day learning lua 😭

[grand oak]

@charred trench can i dm you a guide

[prisma shell]

youre probably not learning lua, you're likely learning luau

[charred trench]

they arent the same thing ;-;

[autumn oyster]

do
  local abc = 123
  print(abc) -- 123
end

print(abc) -- nil

do
  abc = 456
  print(abc) -- 456
end

print(abc) -- 456```

[autumn oyster]

luau is a modified version of lua made by roblox lol

in roblox studio you use luau

it just has additional features added on top of lua

[charred trench]

rip, i dont have pic perms yet

[grand oak]

very helpful to turn the function scope conversation into yapping about lua vs luau

[charred trench]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[autumn oyster]

i believe in lua you can't even do

local a = 1
a += 1 -- doesnt work
a = a + 1 -- works```

[charred trench]

is it bad im using if and else

[prisma shell]

ts is like saying "is it bad im breathing air"

[charred trench]

genuinely oh my god

[charred trench]

this hurts my head

[autumn oyster]

rust is horribly unreadable man

[prisma shell]

this is probably the worst code in seal's codebase. i think i was giving absolutely zero fucks that day

[autumn oyster]

but getting your code to compile

[prisma shell]

no this is just very bad code

[autumn oyster]

usually means its going to work lol

[prisma shell]

rust can be very readable and expressive and much more expressive than luau at times

that however, is just... bad

[autumn oyster]

wym it's amazing

[ornate needle]

Scripters..POSTURE CHECK

[autumn oyster]

you dont want people stealing your code

so obfuscate it

[prisma shell]

.. it's free and open source

[halcyon anchor]

im gonna learn how to srat scripting today should i only use rblx studio or should i aslo use vss

[prisma shell]

see this is readabel

if you want an oop in rust all you need to do is define a struct and add methods. you can add impls to lots of things. so much more expressive than luau.

[prisma shell]

xService or yManager names are typically a sign of overengineering. also why is there a Main LocalScript in there

[autumn oyster]

yea i thought the same thing but

NameTagManager controls all instances of the NameTag class (seen as the child of NameTagManager)

then nametagmanager offers functions such as :AddCharacter() to nametag whatever character you want

[prisma shell]

.. i've done worse

[autumn oyster]

the main localscript calls :Init() which i was wondering if that's even needed or if i should have a single localscript that calls init on all modules

[prisma shell]

in lua you need to do nonsense like

local insert = table.insert
local remove = table.remove

because there are basically no optimizations for anything and localizing stdlib functions makes calling them faster

[autumn oyster]

this applies to luau too

[prisma shell]

no

[autumn oyster]

are you sure?

ive benchmarked this before

or maybe that's because i done it with instances to be fair

yeah that's most likely why

[prisma shell]

also

from: https://luau.org/performance/#inline-caching-for-table-and-global-access

[autumn oyster]

this is very nice to know

but

to be fair, hash-table lookups in tables are very quick

localizing math.max is negligable in most cases no?

[prisma shell]

every time you use . to find an instance in roblox it calls a c function that checks whether an instance of that name is a child of that instance

[autumn oyster]

yeah

metatable

[prisma shell]

so it's a lot more expensive than a regular table access or even a regular extern type field access in luau

[prisma shell]

i'd assume localizing builtins is actually counterproductive for those with fastcall optimizations

[autumn oyster]

i dont even remember what fastcall is

not the same as inlining right?

[oblique hill]

Anyone knowss how to make my game use less memory?

I tried everything

[prisma shell]

stop allocating so many tables

[oblique hill]

Wdym

[prisma shell]

check ur micro profiler and see which scripts r causing u to eat memory

and investigate why they r

[autumn oyster]

F9 -> Memory or F9 -> LuauHeap

it should tell you what script is eating the most memory

[autumn oyster]

if you click into LuauHeap then click Take Snapshot

[prisma shell]

luau is smart enough to fastcall local max = math.max; nice

and yeah that's why you should avoid using string methods unless ur writing a throwaway script or smth that's not in a hotpath

[autumn oyster]

yea i only learned today that luau can dynamically deoptimize code

[autumn oyster]

wdym by string methods

like indexing a table with a string?

[prisma shell]

local cats = "meow"
print(cats:sub(1, 3)) -- instead of string.sub(cats, 1, 3)

dont do that in hot paths/loops

[broken grove]

methods on strings instead of the string library

[autumn oyster]

why is this? i know doing : calls the __namecall metamethod

does it have something to do with that lol

[oblique hill]

Lots of them are aat 0

[rigid jasper]

yo im thinking about on how to make a system to handle multiple tools with their own stats, animations etc. Im mostly a beginner scripter and i wonder on how to implement that feature properly? Should i use local script inside of each tool for detecting player's mouse and whenever they hit something, using 1 script to handle events for these tools and 2 modules to contain tools info and tools functions(abilities as such)? Or maybe theres a better way on making such a system?

[static coral]

for debugging and sanity purposes its better to keep all tool logic in 1 script

you can use tags tho and then assign certain logic to certain tags

[rigid jasper]

what about mouse detecting and such stuff

[static coral]

client side module

[rigid jasper]

like should i put local script into each tool or

[static coral]

you can have system for detecting when tool is equipped and activated

[static coral]

nah

[static coral]

ContextActionService.LocalToolEquipped

[rigid jasper]

also how do i verify the tool? Like so that people cant exploit by changing tools name etc

tags?

[static coral]

dont validate on client

just make sure theres no bugs

then on server check that player has the tool

[rigid jasper]

so one if statement is enough

[static coral]

u can also assign each tool an id or category or name or whatever

[rigid jasper]

to verify

[static coral]

depends on your system

and game

[rigid jasper]

i see

[rigid jasper]

also can attributes be exploited?

like can i rely on them?

[static coral]

yes

remember filtering enabled exists

[rigid jasper]

for example if i make a damage attribute

[static coral]

client cant change those things

[rigid jasper]

ahhh

i see

[static coral]

unless u got terrible security

[static coral]

so that it replicates atleast

[rigid jasper]

i mean that i just dont need to verify attributes at all

if its about damage

[static coral]

nah dont need to then

just make sure u got half decent security so players cant change it with remote

[rigid jasper]

do you have any forum about how people exploit with remotes

[static coral]

also its better to keep templates/registry of weapons, for example, client will send weapon name/ID/uniquely identifiable attribute of weapon and then server will fetch stats of weapon and maybe player stats depending on game and then do whatever

[static coral]

just learn how replication works, in short:
the first argument that is the player cannot be exploited
any other arguments can be spoofed
arguments can be sent as the incorrect type
arguments can be omitted
table arguments can contain wrongful data/keys
metatables are not serialized (not possible to send over remotes)

and also exploiters can hook into remote events to redirect their calls

exploiters will do it with client side anti cheats

[novel scroll]

Hey i need someone that can do leaderboards

[static coral]

hookmetamethod

[novel scroll]

donation leaderboard and global stat leaderboard

[rigid jasper]

alright thank you

thats a good info to learn from

[static coral]

what is the 💰?

no

just say

[novel scroll]

bro

[static coral]

or dm

[rigid jasper]

also quick question, how do people understand on how to setup projectile systems, and other complicated systems that require complicated calculations

like how do you come up with those calculations

school knowledge or looking for it on the internet or

[static coral]

just research on google

or if u smart enough come up with your own

[storm smelt]

i can do one

[quartz wing]

i keep getting ts on my custom type of cmdr

That's not a string 🤔

[rapid eagle]

🤔 🤔

[neat siren]

any1 using rojo

[hoary cedar]

What about it?

[neat siren]

been working on a rojo tool lately using rust and bouta publish it on my github lol

js looking for feedback

[tardy brook]

Does anyone know to use GetPartBoundsInBox for hitboxes?

and suggestions of course

Yo guys is ByteNet good?

[flint oriole]

could anyone explain what :: does iin modules

[grim delta]

looking for feedback pls dm

[faint garnet]

should i use tools to handle abilities in my game or nah

cuz idek

[regal salmon]

it depends on your game, but assuming it's some sort of battlegrounds game, i believe most don't use tools

[faint garnet]

oh fr battlegrounds dont use tools???

[woven panther]

dont

[regal salmon]

don't think so

can just fire a remote event to tell the server to trigger an ability slot

[faint garnet]

so i should

just make gui to display

[woven panther]

just make an input controller

[faint garnet]

the cds

[regal salmon]

yeah

[faint garnet]

ye i alr have 1 but my friend was saying use tools

but i wanted to ask cuz hes weorse than me and im a beginner lol

ok ty

[woven panther]

np

[azure coral]

i mean i usually use the things i learnt from school and add it with trial and error

desmos helps alot too

if you want to use physics to direct a missile for instance then you could use :lerp() or tween on an alignOrientation object, if you prefer realism you could just use inverse kinematics to get angles

its not really that hard once you visualize everything

[quartz wing]

yeahh mb on that

tho im stuck on smthn, so im tryna make a model of a humanoid, with clothes etc a tool but when i do so, it messes up the movement of player itself, but if i rename the body part of tool as Item_Head etc i cant use clothing etc, any fix for ts?

Alright guys, it's day 7 of scripting, got my first commission on day 6, which was a donation board, so I honestly can't wait to see what I learn today

[fair topaz]

do ya'll actually use module loaders or is it just not worth it

and if yes, do ya'll make one or use one

[jovial crown]

Chat how ez is it To get someones wify password educational purpose

Hey guys,

I'm trying to dive more into the whole roblox scripting workflow and an interesting question came to my mind.
Do you often reuse your scripts / module scripts in different games?
Do you make your scripts reusable? If so, which parts of game scripting are typically reusable?

[tough vapor]

anyone want a brainrot template file? where you gt a brinrot and plac it on your plot n make money n stuff, dm me for price it cheap

[autumn oyster]

I've just started writing agnostic code

meaning that I'm making my modules reusable

Imo your scripts dont have to be fully agnostic but agnostic enough to the point that implementing them in another game is a breeze

https://i.e-z.host/micorwave/rpx87jdz.png

and this is how my code is structured

everything is grouped by feature

which is the best practice for separating your code and keeping everything managable

this way from another module if i wanted to add a nametag to an instance i simple do
require("../NameTags/NameTag"):AddCharacter(characterIWantToNametag)

[autumn oyster]

I do want to note that if you do make modules fully agnostic you can use Package Links which automatically update the module across all of your experiences which is nice

🤷‍♂️

[tawdry cypress]

bro i think it is this function

local function setupCarryWeld(grabberChar, grabbedChar)
cleanupCarryWeld(grabbedChar)

local grabberHRP = grabberChar:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local grabbedHRP = grabbedChar:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local grabbedHumanoid = grabbedChar:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

if not grabberHRP or not grabbedHRP or not grabbedHumanoid then return end

grabbedHumanoid.PlatformStand = true

for _, part in ipairs(grabbedChar:GetDescendants()) do
    if part:IsA("BasePart") then
        part.Massless = true
    end
end

pcall(function() 
    grabbedHRP:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
end)

local offsetCFrame = CFrame.new(0, 3, 0) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90), 0, 0)
grabbedHRP.CFrame = grabberHRP.CFrame * offsetCFrame

local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Name = "CarryWeld"
weld.Part0 = grabberHRP
weld.Part1 = grabbedHRP
weld.Parent = grabbedHRP

grabbedHRP.CFrame = grabberHRP.CFrame * offsetCFrame

carryWelds[grabbedChar] = {
    weld = weld
}

end this is what handles welds

The glitch is when a mobile player is getting carried it’s like it doesn’t update the position , so when the player throws the player or doesn’t throw him at alll , it takes the position from where he was grabbed .

THIS OCCURS ONLY FOR MOBILE PLAYERS BEING CARRIED FOR SOME REASON .

Please help cuz we been trying to fix it for like 5 hours

[unreal dragon]

Thank you for showing me this great example!
I will most definitely try to structure my game in a similar way to yours.

[tawdry cypress]

@jovial crown

[jovial crown]

?

[tawdry cypress]

How to fix it ?

[autumn oyster]

bro pinged a random mf with a green name ahahahaha

[tawdry cypress]

It literally occurs only for mobile players being carried

[jovial crown]

sry but i am really busy rn

[hallow parcel]

hi yall I need some help for scriptes for shop ui (scrolling) from dialogue NPC. and getting seeds. can anyone help me with that? (idea taken from Grow a Garden)

[tired socket]

hi guys, is there a way to retrieve group sales using oauth?

ive found this api but it requires cookies: https://economy.roblox.com/v2/groups/{GROUP_ID}/transactions?limit=25&sortOrder=Asc&transactionType=Sale&cursor={CURSOR}

[solid garden]

OMG BRO LEARNING SCRIPTING IS SO BORING

[bitter rapids]

Ye never provide your cookies to any kind of api

Cookies are confidential

[tired socket]

yeah ik

are there any oauth ways to get sales?

[ashen obsidian]

Take your time learning and most importantly try to enjoy the proccess, like having people to talk or script some stupid stuff while learning.

[solid garden]

i want to make money

thats why i script

im learning a lot

and i scripted dumb shit before

[left ginkgo]

roblox scripting wont make u that much money unless u actually know what ur doing

making code was never the real job of the actual programmer.

as a programmer your more of an engineer rather than a construction worker

ur job is to design systems, nowadays AI can do a lot of the workload and write code for you

the real skill is being able to make solutions to complex problems and debug to fix problems

[solid garden]

well ik what im doing though

and i have everything planned out

[ashen obsidian]

I'm sorry but i have to say, Roblox scripiting not only requires assest like effects, animation, ui intereface but you probaly going to need to hire people to help with that and Beside that it there is one way to money

[left ginkgo]

ye solo projects are very tidious

[solid garden]

im not gonna be working solo, and i can hire all those people

[ashen obsidian]

There is one way which everybody dont like

[solid garden]

and also, im not gonna just make a game

im doing commissions too

[ashen obsidian]

Give up on that

Wait

[solid garden]

let's say i make 1k robux per commission as a beginner scripter

[ashen obsidian]

IM MEAN LIKE

[solid garden]

if i get 100 comms done, that's 100k robux

everything adds up

[ashen obsidian]

most commision requires 1 year of coding as a minium

not learning but coding

[solid garden]

people say i can do commissions within 2-3 months

[ashen obsidian]

and usually requires profillyinh

[solid garden]

i did a commission with 7 days of scripting experience

[solid garden]

profile service?

[ashen obsidian]

true but does only pay put to 5-15 and it takes awhile to see more commission

If you do want quick cash

[solid garden]

? What is 5-15
