Dollars

Depending on the work

[solid garden]

that's not even bad for a beginner

if u do like 7 commissions, that's 100 dollars already

and u can use that money to hire devs for a game

[ashen obsidian]

Dont forget about the competition and it commission so you wont see it alot even in roblox cause of small work

If you need cash that badly then just buy or find some Templates

[solid garden]

the competition ain't gonna matter that much

[ashen obsidian]

It might look bad but it the fast to make a game and sell it

[solid garden]

cuz ill have my for hire up and ppl will respond

[ashen obsidian]

???

uh

[solid garden]

#scripter-hirable ...

[ashen obsidian]

There alot of scripter

[solid garden]

doesn't matter

there's a lot of builders, but people still get commissions

ur acting like there's only one dude who'll want to do your services

[ashen obsidian]

It better to make script that can get more attenion then just showinh only your work experiences

[fast bronze]

what are we talking abt chat?

[ashen obsidian]

im not saying it impossible im saying you should try to learn more and Scripts more then just trying to go instedly to commissons

[solid garden]

idek what he's tryna say at this point

[fast bronze]

mahhh it depends

[solid garden]

im learning and doing commissions at the same time + u can learn from commissions

[fast bronze]

is it fr ur 7th day?

[solid garden]

yes

[fast bronze]

i dont know chat

[solid garden]

got my first commission today (global donation leaderboard script)

[fast bronze]

oh thats EASYYY

[solid garden]

yea

[fast bronze]

i believe u now

[solid garden]

I learned a lot from that commission

[fast bronze]

bah im doing games instead of commissions to learn

i honestly feel you learn a lot more making games yourself

[solid garden]

yeah

commissions get u money tho

[ashen obsidian]

Then do it

[solid garden]

thats what i do?

[ashen obsidian]

im just tired at this point

[fast bronze]

fair fair

[fast bronze]

what are you trying to prove chat

[solid garden]

and u can use that money to learn whatever u want

or make whatever game u want

like if I wanted to rn, I could spend money to learn more advanced stuff like oop, metatables etc

but im not advanced YET

[fast bronze]

its actually not that hard

the thing is nothing is advanced

[ashen obsidian]

. . .

[fast bronze]

you learn by playing with code

[ashen obsidian]

True

[tame siren]

bro what 😂

[fast bronze]

rs

[ashen obsidian]

quick question

nvm

[solid garden]

ik im js saying an example

im probably gonna learn these things from scrolling on the dev forum

[fast bronze]

have you already learned about tables?

[solid garden]

yes

i used it for the commission

[candid raptor]

anyone know if you can stop an animation from playing in a different script via reloading it?
i.e.

-- Script 1
local track = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(example_anim)
track:Play()

-- Script 2:
local track = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(example_anim)
track:Stop()

[solid garden]

@novel scroll

[outer hamlet]

use modules it will be better

or try to connect the other script idea to the main script while its not a local script

[neat siren]

If yall use Rojo check out my RojoTree project on github❤✌

🥹

[grave wave]

yo is there any scripter that can work for me

i got a lil nice project going on

ill text the details in messages

[pastel pine]

Do I need garbage collection on items in a players inventory when the player leaves?

My games a building/survival game and it gets super laggy when servers are old

Mobs that spawn already all have maid module in them so IK that can't be the cause

[remote cypress]

You shouldn't have too, if the functions are created on the client they only exist on the client. Unless your server code is holding onto data from the client which i don't see a use case? (A bare example would be creating a remote event for every tool the client picks up on the server side, then never deleting the remote event when the tool is deleted or client has left)?

[pastel pine]

I'm going to check the code to see if it does that

The building tools are just modified free models i found in toolbox

So could very well be doing that

[gilded kraken]

should i enable reional pricing

is it worth it

[pastel pine]

There isa remote event parented to the tool that is called upon each time a terrian block is placed

I'm assuming though that if its parented to the tool that it goes away when the tool is removed from the game

Could this be the cause?

[pastel pine]

More specifically its parented to the server side script within the tool

[placid vapor]

Hello, I dont understand why my application keeps getting denied for readabillity and comments

[storm nacelle]

im making a simple tycoon bc im rusty with luau and want to practice a bit more. i need help figuring out the right way to go abuot it. for example for the buttons spawning and purchasing models and upgrades i should keep all of the models in a folder in serverstorage and then clone them and handle it from there right? i guess my question is what service do i use for the purchase of models and stuff. its either repstorage or server idk

[lost pebble]

you would use animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks() and stop the track that you want to stop

[lunar viper]

yo

@lost pebble check dms

[shut charm]

Scripter i need

[woven panther]

Yo so i stopped using knit and want to make my own architecture and i spent a whole day researching different code patterns, i still want to make a service/controller type of pattern, but would there be needed a dependency injector and how would intelliSense work with it

[storm nacelle]

do bindable events go in serverstorage

[dapper timber]

if this is a solo project then go with whatever you prefer. In my case I just have dependencies in a folder in replicatedstorage that I require directly so types actually work

[prisma aspen]

Time to larp

[thorn pendant]

anyone wanna team up? I kinda need help cuz im bad at scripting in lua

[void tusk]

the wrath of the sun

[void tusk]

you can define types for injected dependencies

instead of an interface it would just be another type

makes it kinda similar

no erroring for incorrect types tho

[void tusk]

use a signal: https://data-oriented-house.github.io/LemonSignal/guide/what-is-lemonsignal.html

bindable events can go anywhere

[junior owl]

Can someone help me out? I have a clothing game and I’m not sure if this is a script issue or something else, but I’m using a render distance script and some of my avatars’ body parts disappear when I walk up to them. The only things left showing are the accessories. Any help would be appreciated! i would be more than happy to give rbx to anyone that helps me figure it out (:

[void tusk]

show the related code

wait why am i in code discussion

i knew something was up

doesnt look like anything that would cause the limbs to not show in this block of code

[fast bronze]

yo send it in code format chat

[junior owl]

do you know what could cause that? or maybe something thats conflicting it that i should remove?

[junior owl]

mb i have no idea how to do that

what did we do to get scripter role here?

[regal salmon]

requirements are here: https://hiddendevs.com/bulletin?id=2
you can apply here: https://hiddendevs.com/applications

[prisma patrol]

yeah but what type of code to submit?

im thinking a networking library with buffers, i need some good ideas

[regal salmon]

it can be anything, really, as long as it meets these requirements

like i submitted a dungeon generator

[prisma patrol]

i submitted this and it didnt get through

gimme 1 sec

https://github.com/vincordian/barebone-networking/blob/main/Network.luau

206 lines, meets the requirements

[untold prawn]

should I apply for the scripting given that ik data/profile, vfx with animations, and movement system?

[wanton otter]

game = Getservice:(self:: part) : game?
self.color = {
not = "Red"
}
self.parent = getservice

Skid worthy?

[opaque blade]

What the heck is a dungeon generator

I also have a full NPC office system that I will not be submitting bc i dont feel like going back to make comments

[regal salmon]

basically generates a maze of connected rooms with a set size

this was the example place i gave: https://www.roblox.com/games/94359417229511/Dungeon-Generator

[candid raptor]

has anyone made a damage tab handler before? I just made one for the first time and I'm curious on if there's a better way to make one or if this is pretty standard

-- // Services
local G = game
local Players = G:GetService("Players")
local S_Storage = G:GetService("ServerStorage")

-- // Assets
local damage_tabs = {}
local manager = {}

-- Add a players damage to another players tab
function manager.AddTab(dpl : Player, vpl : Player, dmg : NumberValue)
    if not damage_tabs[vpl] then -- The character doesn't have an existing tab
        damage_tabs[vpl] = {}
        damage_tabs[vpl][dpl] = dmg
    elseif not damage_tabs[vpl][dpl] then -- The characters dealer hasn't done any damage to them yet
        damage_tabs[vpl][dpl] = dmg
    else -- The dealer has done damage to them before so add it to their current tab
        damage_tabs[vpl][dpl] += dmg
    end
end

-- Remove an existing players tab (Likely because they just got out of combat)
function manager.ResetTab(pl : Player)
    if damage_tabs[pl] then damage_tabs[pl] = nil end
end

-- Remove both the players tab and any mention of them in other tabs (Likely because the player died)
function manager.ResetAllTabs(pl : Player)
    for cht,tab in damage_tabs do
        if cht == pl then continue end
        
        for plr,dmg in tab do
            if plr == pl and tab[pl] then
                tab[pl] = nil
                break
            end
        end
    end
    
    if damage_tabs[pl] then damage_tabs[pl] = nil end
end

-- Return the damage tab of a player
function manager.GetDamageTab(pl : Player)
    return damage_tabs[pl]
end

-- Return manager
return manager

[mossy lynx]

whats a damage tab handler

[candid raptor]

to keep track of how much damage players do to other players

so if a player dies you know who gets the kill

[mossy lynx]

oh

[candid raptor]

instead of just "last player to do damage gets the kill"

[mossy lynx]

ay to do that wouldnt u track how much dmg u do to a player wit like player id

[candid raptor]

i'm using player instance since it's basically the same thing

[mossy lynx]

why u using a module script

[candid raptor]

no 2 player instances are the same

[mossy lynx]

why ru using module script

[candid raptor]

so i can access it in different scripts

[mossy lynx]

couldnt u use attributes

no?

[candid raptor]

not really cause i'm keeping track of a table

if i were to print an example table it would be something like

[mossy lynx]

ah

[candid raptor]

[Player1] = {
  [Player2] = 54,
  [Player5] = 10,
},
[Player3] = {
  [Player7] = 33,
  [Player1] = 15,
  [Player4] = 40,
}

this is basically what it keeps track of

[mossy lynx]

alr

I never did it before so Idk but couldnt u find the player wit the most dmg and then give the player an attribute with the player who did the most dmg name\

[candid raptor]

so if i want to see who did the most damage i can do something like this

if vhum.Health <= 0 then
local highest = {}
                highest.Player = dealer
                highest.Damage = 0
                
                for plr,pdmg in DamageTabs.GetDamageTab(vpl) do -- Returns a table of pl -> damage
                    if pdmg > highest.Damage then
                        highest.Player = plr
                        highest.Damage = pdmg
                    end
                end
                
                local highest_pFolder = S_Storage.PlayerData:FindFirstChild(highest.Player.Name)
                if highest_pFolder then
                    highest_pFolder.Kills.Value += 1
                    
                    dhum.Health += highest.Damage*0.75
                end
                
                DamageTabs.ResetAllTabs(vpl)
end

[regal salmon]

i'm not sure, i'm leaning to no since one of the requirements of application is that you have to make a test place that demonstrates it's use, and i'm not sure how you'd do so with that
worth a go if you can find a way, though

[candid raptor]

yeah but that would include going through EVERY player upon death, not to mention every player when trying to set a new "highest damage"

so the runtime is a lot bigger

[mossy lynx]

alr

Im not that good at reading code only writing

so idk

[candid raptor]

fair enough lol

[mossy lynx]

which is funny cuz my uncle knows coding too and he can't write code but can read code litterally what he does for work

complete opposite

[lapis ruin]

I'm looking for a scriptor for a story/pvp game my friend is creating if anyone's interested dm me

[somber ginkgo]

is this uncopylocked?

[regal salmon]

it is not

[somber ginkgo]

aw heck, could u make it that way? im kinda interested how u did it

[regal salmon]

sure

should be copyable now

[somber ginkgo]

ty

[regal salmon]

?? 😭

how would one even decide what their favorite datatype is

cframes i suppose

your criteria was what i use the most or am the most comfortable, and the answer is cframes lol

Yo someone here hiring a scripter?

[storm nacelle]

I need help making a tycoon. I know a lot of LuaU I just am struggling super hard with some things and k can’t seem to understand it myself

Like I have the knowledge to code it but like

I can’t set it up

Can someone whose willing to help me help plz

[mossy lynx]

ill help ig?

i mean a little, Im making a game rn so idk how much I can help

[mighty mango]

i made it so that my proximity prompt makes a sound when u prompt it'

isnt that rlly cool

srry im new i wanna sound smart like the big leagues :/

[latent vigil]

if you cant do OOP are you even a scripter

[fickle flame]

that would be a scripter that doesn't get hired

[wheat pumice]

no, the one who ALWAYS uses oop isnt getting hired

they needa know when to use OOP or Functional

[fickle flame]

true

most people just ask if you know oop though

they already assume you know when to use it and blah blah

[autumn ermine]

oop is useful for repetitive things

[eternal solar]

is oop easy or hard, bc isnt it just module scripts and stuff

[regal salmon]

it's easy

[eternal solar]

alr cool

[azure granite]

oop makes script behave like object.

Like u know parts. u do local part = instance.new("Part")

Then u can do whatever u want with the specific "part" variable, like changing the colour, adding touched event, destroying it.

And this doesnt effect other parts in the game, only taht ONE specific part

[eternal solar]

so you basically create like a library and you can call it from other scripts

[eternal solar]

yea i dont hink i got to this yet im just at normal module scripts

ngl it looks pretty complex 😭

[regal salmon]

hold on i'll add comments

[regal salmon]

hope this makes sense

[azure granite]

ngl just ignore meta table set meta table for now all it does is add magic so oop works 💀

i mean it basically makes it so each "part" table u make has access to the main module script entries

[eternal solar]

i think i get it a bit

[eternal solar]

thanks this helps bc metatable seems pretty confusing

[regal salmon]

it's pretty useful imo, since if you don't use it you have to either pass in the target table or get it in every function, but if you don't care then it doesn't matter lol

[azure granite]

function module.IncreaseValue(self: urTypeHere, amount: number)
    self.Value +=amount
end

i think u should use this syntax

for constructing methods

[eternal solar]

i'll probably figure it out eventually but thanks for the help on understading what oop

[azure granite]

because you get autofill for your object much more easily

[regal salmon]

this gives the same result

assuming t has Value already

[regal salmon]

wouldnt worry too much about type checking rn if youre only just learning module scripts

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1232609984861175849/1452274135055994963/Ash-Baby-1.gif

[azure granite]

this is best

[fleet silo]

Why not just use colon notation so you dont have to pass in self

[rapid verge]

colon notation doesn't support type checking for self

[dense oasis]

Does it work on both sides?

[azure granite]

outside u can still use colon notation. u only hacve to write dot notation when you write up the class

[fleet silo]

Ohh

Weird

[wheat pumice]

u can use either in both cases

function x:y(z) end
function x.y(self, y) end

x:y(1)
x.y(x, 1)

[rapid verge]

chat when do i use run service

[woven panther]

Yo guys currently im designing a new architecture for rpg combat games, and Im a bit stuck on deciding how overall the character would work with blocking, attacking and handling overall core things. Im going for a service/controller pattern and was wondering if i should make a character class with combat, blocking components or make everything functional. And if everything is functional, what is the best way to store data(attribute, data tables). I would also need data on client and server to be seperate so i can include predicting states on the client for more responsive combat

write this in code help

yea

would anyone be down to script for a percent for a gui based game, its half scripted, just need bugs to be fixed and the 2nd half to be done its like 5 frames maybe a lil more

[tender gust]

if not T50$ then
Print("you don't have enough robux")
Elseif T50$ then
Print("you successfully bought it")
end

Is the script correct ?

[golden thunder]

No returning function?

[regal salmon]

wdym?

[golden thunder]

What if you want to return existing classes from other scripts

[regal salmon]

as in store objects to be accessed from anywhere?

[golden thunder]

Yeah

[regal salmon]

ah, then you'd just make a module level table lol
i just quickly wrote that as an example for them to understand the basics of oop, i do typically have a get function in real scripts

[golden thunder]

Can you lmk if my method is valid rq?

[regal salmon]

sure

[regal salmon]

looks fine to me

[golden thunder]

alr ty vro

[regal salmon]

np

[golden thunder]

also what's the point of .__index I still don't fully understand

[regal salmon]

i believe it determines where the metatable sources it's methods from, which is why you set it to the main module

[golden thunder]

Is it so can the object copy the functions of the module?

[regal salmon]

yes

[golden thunder]

Interesting

[regal salmon]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/what-exactly-tableindex-table-do/2655210/7

[golden thunder]

What difference does it make if functions are made during the creation instead of indexing?

[regal salmon]

difference would be that only some tables have some functions, assuming youre assigning them selectively

if youre assigning them to all tables then there wouldn't be a difference

[golden thunder]

ah

alr thanks for the information vro

what is the type for requires?
is it :: mod
or :: ModuleScript

[terse warren]

Yo who is good with physics

[pastel thunder]

❌

[polar loom]

is this the proper way for type checking for classes

export type module = typeof(setmetatable(
    {} :: {
        name: string
    }
    , class))

[covert nimbus]

GTA 6 scripts progress rn 🥀

[glad thorn]

Wdym? Like, the return type or the argument type

[dense cargo]

task scheduler i think

better than micro profiler at least

also i need an honest opinion- would yall use janitor instead of events/bindables?

[pastel thunder]

What the require returns which is a table but its ok i js made my own type

[glad thorn]

Require doesnt return just a table, returns anything

[spark carbon]

damn how bad did i fucking mess ts up

[pastel thunder]

if the modulescript has only a table then yes it does return the table

[waxen edge]

yo guys what would be better for base upgrades
making the slot parts Transparent = 1 and CanCollide = false
or or parent them to ReplicatedStorage and move them back when unlocked

[twilit stump]

I would do the repicated storage ojne

[waxen edge]

i think the tranparency is easier because if the bases is positoned differently

[nova cloud]

how much would it be if someone made me an catch and throw system like the one in FF2?

I am horrible at coing /:

How can I turn this group prompt PROXIMITY PROMPT activated script to a CLICK PART activated script

local GroupService = game:GetService('GroupService')
local groupId = 82093955

script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
    GroupService:PromptJoinAsync(groupId, player)
    print('Prompt Activated.')
end)

It basically works when I activate a proximitypprompt, but i want it to work when i press a part with a click detector

[kind gorge]

insert a click detector inside the part and then just connect the event

would anyone mind explaining to me what this does? ```lua
function module:DividePart(part: BasePart, axis: Vector3)
local a = module:_clonePart(part)
local b = module:_clonePart(part)
a.BrickColor = BrickColor.random()
b.BrickColor = BrickColor.random()
a.Size = part.Size * (-(axis/2)+Vector3.new(1,1,1))
a.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.new(-part.Size * (Vector3.new(1,1,1)*axis/4))

b.Size = part.Size * (-(axis/2)+Vector3.new(1,1,1))
b.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.new(part.Size * (Vector3.new(1,1,1)*axis/4))

end

(i know what it does but i dont get how it gets the cframe)

for context this is a part division script

[lucid hare]

What's this? I dont know which line is causing it

[peak jolt]

dont report the bug bro ur so close to escaping the matrix

[lethal sundial]

is it possible to check if a UDim2 is above an certain size (as in doing a >=)

[lethal sundial]

it seems its getting it from the Part: Basepart thing

[peak jolt]

what exactly are u trying to do

[frail plaza]

what?

nvm anyways i alrdy figured it out

[lethal sundial]

basically im making a UI bar going up and or down

and I want to check if it reaches above its goal

[peak jolt]

this like a decoupling issue

you need 1 variable that says what the progress really is and then base the progress bar off that variable and also use that variable to figure out if its done or not

[lethal sundial]

i see

[peak jolt]

its easiest when said variable is in the interval of 0..1 cause then you know

• =1 means done

• you can use that for the Scale value of the progress bar

for example health/maxhealth is 0..1

[lethal sundial]

ohhhh

alright thanks

[mortal pecan]

oy

yo

i need plugin ideas

guys

[grim jacinth]

you take the original part cframe, which is its center and rotation, then make a small offset to move the new part along the axis you split. the part size tells you how far to move and dividing by 4 puts it in the right spot so the halves sit next to each other. one goes negative, the other positive, so they end up on opposite sides. Idk if this will make you understand if you still dont know just ask

[frail plaza]

why does dividing by far put it in the right spot?

[grim jacinth]

when you split the part you are left with two hafs with the original c frame basically on the edge so now you have to move it to center of the half which is a quarter if you mean this?

[frail plaza]

huh?

[mortal pecan]

yo suggest me some good plugin ideas im hella bored 😭

[frail plaza]

free version of quick require modules

[mortal pecan]

alr

[frail plaza]

can i invest 1 robux

[grim jacinth]

when you split the part in half, the original CFrame is still at the center of the whole part, not the new half. each new half is half the size of the original, so to move its center to the middle of that half, you have to go half of half, which is a quarter of the original size. that’s why dividing by 4 gives the correct position.

[mortal pecan]

ill invest 1 robux and i need 20% of daily revenue

[alpine cargo]

are u making ur own

[mortal pecan]

if thats a good deal

[frail plaza]

so we are trying to get the absolute center?

[mortal pecan]

yeah i made so many good plugins

[alpine cargo]

such as

[mortal pecan]

data base editor

[alpine cargo]

also i'll try think

[frail plaza]

oh wait

no i get it now

[mortal pecan]

html and css ui maker

[alpine cargo]

i'd say bug bounty, but I saw one recently on X

so im not sure

most of the plugins are good

[grim jacinth]

i dotn really know what you mean but u prob mean the correct thing but ye the center of the new part

[frail plaza]

?

[alpine cargo]

its just that stuff like moon editor has slow updates

[mortal pecan]

some of my plugins are just free versions of other pluins

[alpine cargo]

fair enough

[mortal pecan]

like the database editor

and some other

i might make a moon animatior

[alpine cargo]

*not slow updates but I saw som1 say something bad about it

[mortal pecan]

a better vesion of it

[alpine cargo]

yh

[mortal pecan]

it will be a pain in the ahh but ill give it a shot

[grim jacinth]

ye you split by the middle then you have to find the half of the half basically if you mean that again i dont really know what all you mean by this picture but it looks ok

[alpine cargo]

also wait

[alpine cargo]

have u got an idea ofany opensource things i can create

like pvp/npcs etc

[grim jacinth]

but you see here its only on one axis, the one thats beaing split on all other axis its alined

[frail plaza]

you are attempting to find the difference between the center and half?

well not that

[mortal pecan]

ummmmmm idk man craete a movement system

[frail plaza]

but movethem by half

[mortal pecan]

or a combat template

[alpine cargo]

they're done so often tho

[grim jacinth]

ye you can see how the new cframe is only a quarter away from the beginning

[frail plaza]

make a state manager

[frail plaza]

yes

[mortal pecan]

u can make ur own one and use it to make or do commisions and use it there

[frail plaza]

bc half of half

[alpine cargo]

fair

[frail plaza]

the goal is only to move them half their size in a direction

[alpine cargo]

I have an idea

[frail plaza]

make an advanced state machine

[mortal pecan]

it be a good template but in the mean time it can generate u some good money

[frail plaza]

those are great and a core of most roblox games

[mortal pecan]

thats a good idea

[frail plaza]

just add paramater checks

super easy

[alpine cargo]

😭

I just need to make stuff

[frail plaza]

you werent asking how?

[alpine cargo]

no

[frail plaza]

oh

[alpine cargo]

i just wanna make stuff 😭

[frail plaza]

well

just do it then

go watch other people make stuff

and do it yourself

[mortal pecan]

same

[alpine cargo]

ik how to make

but i just dont know what

[frail plaza]

i wanna make stuff

[alpine cargo]

and i cba making full games

[frail plaza]

but i just hop from thing to thing

[grim jacinth]

i mean your moving only a quarter of the original size or the axis since the size is basically used to get the legnth of the axis

[mortal pecan]

same bro thats the same problem as me i just do somthing and leave it in the middle and just start a new thing

[frail plaza]

oh?

why is that?

wait nvm

ik why

but theoreticaly couldnt just getting half of a half work instead?

instead of a fourth of a whole

[grim jacinth]

ye half of half is a quarter... or what do you mean

[frail plaza]

Clone1.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.new(-part.Size * (Vector3.new(1,1,1)*(Axis/4)))

see here its getting a 4th of the total

why not just a half of the clone

[grim jacinth]

can you send the whole code again cuz the one is really far up

[mortal pecan]

add me back when im done with the animator plugin ill send u the results

[frail plaza]

yea it does work

local function SubDivide(part: Part,Axis: Vector3)
    local Clone1 = part:Clone()
    local Clone2 = part:Clone()
    
    Clone1.Size = part.Size * (-(Axis/2) + Vector3.new(1,1,1))
    
    Clone1.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.new(-Clone1.Size * (Vector3.new(1,1,1)*(Axis/2)))
    
    Clone2.Size = part.Size * (-(Axis/2) + Vector3.new(1,1,1))
    
    Clone2.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.new(Clone2.Size * (Vector3.new(1,1,1)*(Axis/2)))
    
    
    Clone1.Parent = workspace.Folder
    Clone2.Parent = workspace.Folder
    Clone1.BrickColor = BrickColor.random()
    Clone2.BrickColor = BrickColor.random()
    
    part:Destroy()
end

i dont know what the point of getting a quarter of the original part instead of getting half of the new part is

but i get it now

[grim jacinth]

ye thats the same thing as

[grim jacinth]

oh ye

Im making a basic jump pad but no matter how I go around scripting it its very choppy. Like there’s always a pause between touching the part and then actually going up again and I don’t know what way to script it so that doesn’t happen. Does anyone know a way?

[fading breach]

can someone help me with my game

[mossy lynx]

igu

[whole wadi]

Any programmer here that can give me a price estamte for my project pls dm

[alpine cargo]

jump pads are usually easy to make and look dull, its just an animation+sfx which actually makes it look good

sometimes adding slight horizonal direction helps

what is the jump pads for?

[deft grotto]

Well the problem is that there’s a delay between you touching the part and flying up again

But I got an answer that I think will work

[alpine cargo]

alr

[deft grotto]

Im making a wall hop obby

With a couple of friends that also develop but I’m the only scripter

Just thought it was weird how I tried everything and it was still delayed

Got told it’s because it’s on the server and it won’t be delayed on the client so I’ll try that I think it’ll work

It makes sense with how network ownership works

This is complete misinformation right?

:Connect() creates it's own threads right? So no need for task.spawn() right?

[broken grove]

90% sure but its easy to test

[neon surge]

okay true

[unborn void]

What u trynna do

[idle dune]

yeah

ai gets things about roblox scripting wrong all the time

you gotta confirm things elsewhere

or force it to reference the docs

oh I just realized the while statement lmao

yeah that blocks the thread, the function itself doesn't

[neon surge]

okay but his task.spawn() thing has the same issue no?? if it throws a while loop in the task.spawn then it literally does the same

so i still dont see why it's doing the task.spawn

[mystic current]

someone cant read

[mystic current]

no ads here

[jolly moth]

oh my bad

[obtuse spruce]

it creates a true cooperative independent task the scheduler doesn't expect to always yield unlike normal connect

What are you trying to do here is the better question though

I'm 100% sure there's a better alternative

it literally wont let me send it anywhere

my script is cursed i think

i found a bypass lol

imma send the script in 2 parts

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")

                local newConstruction = plots:FindFirstChild(construction.Name) and plots[construction.Name]:Clone() :: Model

                if not newConstruction then
                    construction:Destroy()

                    return

[echo belfry]

how do u start writing cleaner and better code bro 💔

i wrote some shitty as code for a tower defense game, it works KINDA but damn its so unorganized and it feels like i did every feature the worst way possible

does it just get better as time goes?

[remote bear]

return, continue and break. the holy trinity of less nested code

[echo belfry]

u might just be the goat

i have like twenty if statements in one script lmao

[autumn ermine]

guard clauses

use them, a lot

[echo belfry]

ive never heard of that before but ill check it out

[cyan lantern]

oh my god

OH MY GOD!!!
WHY HAVE I NEVER DISCOVERED THIS

WHY HAVE I NEVER DISCOVERED THIS MARVEL BEFORE

[remote bear]

for more detail return ends the entire function or loops while continue skips the rest of the code but still loops and break stops the loop its in

[cyan lantern]

why is it that
So many months of experience in roblox studio this is the first time ever i discovered you can activate scripts with clients
not through remote events but

i just discovered run context on scripts wow

holy fuck

wow this is revolutionary to me

[mossy lynx]

wait u fcan

[cyan lantern]

but now my bandwidth is skyrocketing

wait it aint

[cyan lantern]

idk if you know this or not

but this is shocking wow

[mossy lynx]

hopw u do it

show me

[cyan lantern]

oh okay hold on

[errant elm]

run context big

dump everything in replicate storage fr

[cyan lantern]

im bad at explaining so im gonna rely on pictures
so this is a Script, supposedly you can only run with servers
but there's this "RunContext" property, it is default to "Legacy" which confirms my point, but when I switch it to "Client" which means client can run this too i guess
imma check the documentation later

i made a quick keybind stuff so it will clone the script whenever i press f and holy shit it really works

holy shiy why havent i discovered this way before

[broken grove]

no idea when it was added but most people still use legacy scripts

dont know if there's a significant difference

I mean like speed

I know it can be placed in workspace/repstorage

[cyan lantern]

and for safety yeah

but wow

incredible

[mossy lynx]

wait so u can put runcontext to client so u can detect nad play all the stuff in the same script?

like if u put it to clienbt it does client and sefver scirpt?

[broken grove]

No

it sets the runcontext

client OR server

[cyan lantern]

i believe so(the message above this one)
but no it doesnt do both client and server script
the logic is still respective to each of them but RunContext switches to which side can run this stuff
you still couldnt do game.Players.LocalPlayer or :FireServer() under Script

[mossy lynx]

so whats the point

js make a client scriopt?

[broken grove]

you can put it anywhere

and it still works

like in a part in workspace

thats the primary difference

[cyan lantern]

auras
im trying to work on orbiting but i just cant do it on server since the bandwidth will be massive
but cant be done on clients since no one can see
yes i can do :FireAllClients() but how about the orbiting or tweening, clone localScript to each player?
but now i discovered this

damn this is crazy and uh ok i should stop exaggerating

[mossy lynx]

useless ngl

[inland hemlock]

is context action service even needed, like even if u need to optimize it for mobile , u can just add uis and tweak it a little bit and load the required guis and mechanics by just checking for the input type , and for unbind and bind , cant u just replicate that with a variable

[patent sonnet]

anyone know how to fix the model moving issue

anyone knows how to fix the visual bug where the tool shows up for a second when your not loaded in then dissapears

Yes, you need to first load the tool into Replicated Storage, then after that reparent it into the workspace

[tight hill]

can you explain that in a way an idiot could understand im stupid

[echo prawn]

Where is the original tool saved? Do you keep it in ServerStorage or somewhere else?

[tight hill]

starter pack

[echo prawn]

Hmm it's very strange that something from the starter pack would disappear. Can you please provide some more context? I'll have a look later + easier for others to check.

You can press Escape while in Play mode, check if the tool is still equipped.

[tight hill]

like when i load into the game it appears while im still loading then dissapears when im fully loaded in but when i click 1 2 3 or 4 it shows that its there cus the cursor changes to equip mode and when i click again it deselects but i just cant see the tools

[echo prawn]

Could be the model is corrupt or transparent, or there's a script that's affecting it

[dire swift]

what are full stack scripter

so i have a really simple script, basically i want a part to print what object touches it, and it works fine but when one of my accesories touch it prints the accesory name and not the part parent

local part = game.Workspace.Part
part.Touched:Connect(function(otherpart)
print(otherpart.Parent)
end)

i want the part to print my username even if my accesory touches the part

[spiral jungle]

Hello

[crisp pebble]

hi

do you think you could help me out?

[spiral jungle]

Sure

[crisp pebble]

do you know how i can make the above code also print my username instead of my accesory name when my accesory touches

[spiral jungle]

I guess you could use a loop

Or you can ask AI to do it for you

[crisp pebble]

uh ok

[spiral jungle]

Like repeat until loop Yknow?

[crisp pebble]

yea but my problem is when my avatar accesories touch the part it will print the name of my accesory instead of my player name, like when my bodyparts touch it

[spiral jungle]

Yes

Do a repeat loop where you go to the parent of the current part

And you keep on going up the hierarchy

Until you find the player model!

[crisp pebble]

ok ty

[rotund pawn]

What is the correct way to implement magic attacks: Key press => Remote Event => Play Anim & effects on Server, fire magic missile part on server, correct?

[jovial crown]

Key press->validate to server, do real logic-> send to client where u play animation and effects

I think its the best approach

[spiral jungle]

Ummm

[jovial crown]

The effects should be client sided

[jovial crown]

?

Whats wrong

[rotund pawn]

Effect should be visible for all players, thats the issue. Animation and attack effects

[spiral jungle]

Idk you’d kinda have delayed controls then

Especially if you want like movement abilities

[jovial crown]

Fireallclients

[jovial crown]

Well the other way is to initiate on the client and add validation on client aswell

[spiral jungle]

Yaaasss

[jovial crown]

Also a good approach but it can cause someone spamming w effects

Because they wouldn't get real validation

[rotund pawn]

Okay but when player is too far, fireallclients will need to have if exists check, correct?

[jovial crown]

Didn't get as to how fireallclients get affected by distance

[spiral jungle]

I guess if they’re outside of render distance

[jovial crown]

It fires to player and should spawn vfx anywhere on map even if out of renderdistance

[jovial crown]

Well it would still spawn but you can make so it wouldnt

[spiral jungle]

Yeah I guess that’s what he meant

Or maybe he’s hallucinating

[rotund pawn]

Yes, outside the render range 😄

I want to have fairly large map.

[jovial crown]

Still didnt get the question

Like you wouldn't see the effects cuz its our of range

[spiral jungle]

It’s still a good optimisation

Oh well

[jovial crown]

They wouldn't render

How would that effect performance

[rotund pawn]

Player attacks => Server Validates => FireAllClients => Clients play animation. At this point when player is too far away to render the attacking player (different arena), client will try to create effect on object, that is too far away outside render. Doesn't that create more perfermance issues?

[jovial crown]

It doesnt create effect on object it spawns it there

I mean you could validate it but I do not see how it is a massive performance issue

[spiral jungle]

Cause you’re still creating the effect and whatevuh

[jovial crown]

Yea right

But honestly I wouldn't really bother

Wouldn't be a lot of performance

[rotund pawn]

Iirc client doesn't see parts in workspace that are outside of render range. So creating Attack Animation on char that doesn't exist for client seems weird to me.

This also creates question, The effect will also be a part with effect, such as fireball. That must be on server

[spiral jungle]

Still worth it if you have a lot of effects

[jovial crown]

It would count as a part because effects do not play unless workplace

[rotund pawn]

Sorry, this is all new to me. I just do not understand how it works when player 1 attacks, player 2 is outside render range and enters the render range

[rotund pawn]

I was not able to find any reliable source outside AI answers, so I will just end with doing check if the target Object exists and create server-side damage part to where the magic missile is flying. So Visible neon part will be server-sided

[north escarp]

Any scripter dm me URGENTTTT

[spiral jungle]

Hello

[north escarp]

dmdmmm

[spiral jungle]

Why

[north escarp]

[north escarp]

For making money together

pls anyone

[split gazelle]

all i can do is touched events broski

[rose root]

yo guys

for wait for child

inifite yield possible is just a warning right?

like it doesn't error and keeps waiting infinitely

thanks

[novel scroll]

Why do module scripts not have a disable button??

[static coral]

they are "disabled" until you require them

they only run when required

[novel scroll]

but i mean

with scripts if it doesnt work i usually duplicate and disable the first script, then use the enabled one as attempt 2 with attempt 1 still there but disabled. Now i cant do this with modules?

[static coral]

dont do that just learn how to use breakpoints

or print debugging

[novel scroll]

ah

[novel scroll]

or could i move old module script to replicated storage?

[rotund pawn]

Anything?

[static coral]

wdym

then the script requiring it is going to break

[novel scroll]

what if i rename the first one temporaril

so it only calls the new one im working on

but i have backup in a diff name in storage?

[wheat pumice]

why even have multiple ones

u literally have version control on roblox

[novel scroll]

to save a saving point

[wheat pumice]

why would u do that

its not like it's magically gonna disappear

[novel scroll]

i always disable local scripts if i want to keep an old verision just incase the new version breaks later down the line i can see what i changed

[static coral]

dont do that

[wheat pumice]

jesus

thats stupid

[static coral]

yeah

just use roblox's version

s

or publish the script

then you can also have versions

[wheat pumice]

just use github or roblox version control, or just dont fuck ur script so much that u csnt revert it (how r u even doing that)

OR! learn to debug

[static coral]

yeah

learn to use breakpoints they underrated

[weary chasm]

?

[covert locust]

when making a combat system is it better to use a table like StunnedCharacters = {} and check that table instead a Stunned bool Attribute?

[merry forge]

am i a genius

[shell saddle]

no

[shell saddle]

I would use a table bc attributes are not like always the best for fast combat

[astral shale]

guys how do i add ai to my game like i seen ai in other games but i cant seem to find tutorials or anything for it

[shell saddle]

Ai for what

[merry forge]

gemini

like sentinent ai type person

[shell saddle]

uhmmmm

don’t think adding like ai like that is available

pathfinding ai is a thing I think but not anything

[subtle terrace]

luau > lua

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/799004789211922463/1464833733734694964/image0.gif

[wheat pumice]

u need an api for that

[merry forge]

http service

[wheat pumice]

correct

either use an existing one or write ur own

OR create a large language model inside of lua!

[subtle terrace]

use the text generation api

[wheat pumice]

also works

but he specifically said gemini

[subtle terrace]

why would you want to use Gemini in your game

[astral shale]

you can lol

i just did 🔥

[wheat pumice]

Why not

[wheat pumice]

simple web requests

[astral shale]

exactly

[subtle terrace]

cuz you have to pay if you have too many requests

[wheat pumice]

depending on the service ofc, gemini might be a little bitchy

[wheat pumice]

depends

[shell saddle]

Uhm for what then

[wheat pumice]

because he can

[shell saddle]

tho making a separate server and etc for a Roblox game is crazy much work

[wheat pumice]

not really

[shell saddle]

I wouldn’t go out of Roblox scripting for a Roblox game

it’s too adv and too much for a game

[wheat pumice]

hosting is easy, especially self hosting.

[wheat pumice]

a good amount of games do it lol

[shell saddle]

for what specifically

[subtle terrace]

yup, it's basically an overkill

[wheat pumice]

databases, if they dont wanna rely on robloxs db service

iirc Adopt me did that

[shell saddle]

oh honey none of the big ass games uses external databases

[wheat pumice]

proxies

[wheat pumice]

adopt. me.

[shell saddle]

well adopt me vs 28373773 other games

like I don’t get why making it so advanced

Roblox will get problems if they lose ur games data

u will just have to trust Roblox if u don’t wanna make everything too advanced

[wheat pumice]

writing your own database server is not advanced bro

[abstract flame]

i know a big studio that uses firebase as database

[shell saddle]

Tho extra work that isn’t necessary

[abstract flame]

might consider this

[shell saddle]

Fire base could work cute but it’s not necessary

[abstract flame]

depends on what you want to do

[orchid chasm]

Yo would anyone like to be my partner to create a game that is pretty original

[patent sonnet]

i think i accidentally turned it off somehow? or roblox is just broken

i havent been on roblox studio in quite a bit

[median tree]

Bros pfp is his roblox avatar

[snow roost]

Anyone work with roblox aerodynamics for a plane system?

[primal trench]

What should I learn first

I already know variables and print

[deft pewter]

you can already pass to functions

[celest forge]

Another cashbrag game why?!

[jovial crown]

Buddy no?

He has to learn math first

What is he gonna do w functions

[cobalt rock]

he must learn region3 service

[primal trench]

Ok

[primal trench]

That will be after functions

[cobalt rock]

region3 service is essential

[primal trench]

Okay that, then functions, then region3

[cobalt rock]

you can't do functions without it

[primal trench]

Math or reguon3 first?

[cobalt rock]

region3

[primal trench]

Okay

[deft pewter]

math aint difficulty, it's just about +, -, *, /

the only new thing is * and /

actually %

[deft pewter]

why region3

he doesnt even know about vectors

[cobalt rock]

region3 is important as hell

[jovial crown]

Math,comparison

[cobalt rock]

stop sabotaging the new scripter

[jovial crown]

The whole point its not supposed to be difficult it has to be learnt

[deft pewter]

comparison it's used mostly on if statements

so he doesnt have tow orry about that

[jovial crown]

First in order to use functions

[deft pewter]

💔

[cobalt rock]

bro somebody give me a game idea

[primal trench]

What do I learn bruh

[raven wadi]

how come, ive been scripting for nearly 2 years and havent used it once

[cobalt rock]

that's cashgrabby asf

[primal trench]

What is region3

[deft pewter]

tun tun tun sahur 😈

boiii you're so odin din done 😂

[cobalt rock]

i'd be appearing in the supreme court

[raven wadi]

think of an invisible box that has a min and max and a size

idk i havent looked into it that much

[primal trench]

Min and max size or min and max and size

[deft pewter]

make a jumping games where you have to fart

else you die of diarrhea

[cobalt rock]

no

[primal trench]

Do I learn functions or region3

[cobalt rock]

learn NonReplicatedCSGDictionaryService actually

[ripe hinge]

Tf

[cobalt rock]

before you learn region3

[primal trench]

What is that

[raven wadi]

idk, second?

[primal trench]

Ok

[raven wadi]

used for stuff like hitboxes ig

[cobalt rock]

it's the most fundamental core part of roblox studio lua scripting

[primal trench]

Yea but what does it do

[raven wadi]

dont rely on my knowledge lmao

[cobalt rock]

It's hard to explain

[primal trench]

Boiii

[deft pewter]

what about GenericChallengeService

that's very beginner friendly tbh

[cobalt rock]

yeah forgot about that

[primal trench]

I think you guys are being scarcasm

Sarcasm

[deft pewter]

no

generic challenge is actually used

for challenges gave to scripters

[raven wadi]

why yall confusing the new dev

[primal trench]

Do I learn that first

[deft pewter]

so they know how to learn coding

it also helps you out of luau, c++ too tbh

[primal trench]

I just wanna make a Roblox game

Do I can play it with my friends

[deft pewter]

you can also check out CoreScriptDebuggingManagerHelper to make sure your code is okay

[primal trench]

Okay

[deft pewter]

MLService is also useful if you wanna know about martin luther king

[raven wadi]

😭🙏

[deft pewter]

however they just say martin luther

[primal trench]

Liar there’s no k in mlservice

[deft pewter]

.

[primal trench]

Bro actually what do I learn first

[deft pewter]

functions

[primal trench]

Ok

[deft pewter]

if you need further help call me, baby girl ❤️

[primal trench]

I am 48

[raven wadi]

ur completely new to luau? just watch video tutorials lol

[primal trench]

Yea but most of them suck and it’s just some random talking about how we need to have the right mindset or else we can’t learn coding, or the tutorials that are good are from like 8 years ago

[cobalt rock]

search up brawldev

[tough vapor]

Bro ask chat gpt to teach u the basics, say you never coded in your life, ONLY then should u watch tutorials because they skip over stuff

[primal trench]

Brawldev or ChatGPT

[tough vapor]

Or just only have chat gpt tell u cuz its good

[raven wadi]

then read documentation

[deft pewter]

i like them older

am i right chat?

[median tree]

Grok

[alpine cargo]

grok is good for learning?

i've been using gemini

[woeful gate]

Hey guys

what’s sup skibidis

[shut sorrel]

ngl, copilot isn't that bad for simple questions since it has unlimited gpt 5

being able to send screenshots it's nice

[plush forge]

i still agree with this btw

well except id switch lua and ts

[autumn oyster]

https://i.e-z.host/micorwave/8f7z5lsm.png

this is so beautiful im going to cry

each folder grouped with it's own needed assets and a singleton that controls that feature

[autumn oyster]

with occassional constructor-based classes parented to the singleton module if needed

[last jolt]

ever thought about using dependency injection so you don't have to create singletons?

[autumn oyster]

i've heard of dependency injection but im not totally sure of what they are

i thought it was a performance optimization?

[last jolt]

it's a design pattern so you don't have to manually create singletons you can still have singletons though

[autumn oyster]

interesting i’ll look into it now

[slender wharf]

"High Quality"

[stuck matrix]

Never seen better in tower games so its high quality

[autumn oyster]

okay i’m getting what dependency injection is but why?

it’s sort of just like making services / singletons hotswappable

from my understanding

[last jolt]

it's easier to test, write code, you don't have to write manual singletons, it's just a better approach to coding

[autumn oyster]

you know, the more i think about it the more it makes sense to use

[steep horizon]

[errant oxide]

that guy has a beginner,advanced and gui tutorial its peak ntg

[iron kraken]

oijgoia

[autumn oyster]

i take it back, it looks very weird

i don't see that much benefit except possible in some niche situations

[ripe relic]

dm me for comissions

[autumn oyster]

for example say you have a DamageService that has a method DamagePlayer why on earth would you pass in anything other than your PlayerController

[last jolt]

you may need to at a later date

[autumn oyster]

or maybe the reason is that my programming pratices while having solid structure, doesnt adhere to strict enough rules

[last jolt]

I've known codebases to have 20 - 30 dependencies in one class

[bitter harbor]

character:TakeDamage

[last jolt]

ideally you shouldn't have methods on the models

[autumn oyster]

character is probably a child of a constructor based class

[bitter harbor]

https://tenor.com/view/gumball-shaking-amazing-world-of-gumball-fire-cat-gif-11547717823424799035

[autumn oyster]

i dont like often building wrappers around instances that way, feels like overengineering?

but i could see the benefit

[last jolt]

say you need to create 500 character objects to use one method but have 50 methods you're then creating unnecessary overhead of those 49 unused methods. It would be better to have a character service with the take damage method

[bitter harbor]

obviously

[autumn oyster]

not really

the character table returned just has a __index metamethod

[bitter harbor]

the most basic method

[autumn oyster]

that index the base class

[last jolt]

yes, and it's horrible to debug I've had to go through this kind of architecture before

[autumn oyster]

so the extra methods arent created

only information about the character is

[bitter harbor]

guys

[last jolt]

models should only have domain knowledge not logic

[bitter harbor]

how'd you master scripting

[autumn oyster]

i never even released a game

[last jolt]

time

[ripe relic]

time

[bitter harbor]

i've been scripting for 10 months but im still slow

[ripe relic]

truly

[autumn oyster]

jimexde id assume you make money from roblox?

[bitter harbor]

i did

60k

[last jolt]

takes years

[ripe relic]

60k and im still living with 0k

[gritty spoke]

Hi everyone

[bitter harbor]

not lua

[autumn oyster]

if you dont mind me asking

[bitter harbor]

lua is ez

[ripe relic]

luau

not lua

how u master luau

[subtle terrace]

luau

[autumn oyster]

it's not about knowing a programming language

[last jolt]

any coding language takes years to get good at, once you get past the syntax the coding language isn't the issue it's how you write code and structure code which is the most difficult part
