[last jolt]

Not necessarily, its good to split the code up. When reading a function if you can't remember what the start of the function does before you get to the end its ideally better to split it out. Not abstracting can lead to spaghetti code, bugs, readability/maintainability issues. A function which does more than one thing (I don't mean one line of code) should be abstracted. This is due to technical debt building up which will make life more difficult one year down the road. It may seem easier or unnecessary to make it more complex at the start. But this is for a very good reason, complexity in poorly built applications increases with the amount of features added. Complexity stays the same even if 500 new features are added if the application is properly built. This is the reasoning behind it, and it does have real world impacts. I'm currently working with commercial software for a company which is horribly built this leads to issues like people can't purchase clothes, delivery id is set to 0 for all Ireland purchases, cookies/sessions don't work and are used as truth of source. Loads of issues due to technical debt.

[wary sluice]

in client im doing some workspace.Model.Part but it is showing nil, could it be that it doesnt load?

[spiral jungle]

Yes

[wary sluice]

is streamingenabled the culprit?

how can i fix this lol

[spiral jungle]

Eerrrrrr

Use waitforchild

[wary sluice]

can't even do that

it's showing infinite yield possible

[spiral jungle]

Well where is the part?

Maybe you could exclude the model from streaming enabled

I think it’s under one of the properties in the model

[wary sluice]

It's not that far away

[wary sluice]

Think i'll do that, thanks

[spiral jungle]

Either that or you’re just referencing the part wrong

[wary sluice]

I'm sure I'm not

[storm nacelle]

If I do like task.spawn(func(). While true do task.wait() —my logic end) does that like spawn a separate thread (that you can’t see) that runs in the background? Like the script would stop right

[peak jolt]

This would never stop unless the script is destroyed or the loop breaks/errors

So not really in the background since its part of the script

[gaunt fossil]

guys how do you apply a cframe rotation to an object but against the world axis?

[vivid hollow]

I'm learning modulescripts

[stark fossil]

unless you've had programming experience before, doing oop on your second day is like drug overdose because you craved sugar

[vivid hollow]

I know c++

html and css if that counts

[stark fossil]

oh yeah then that helps immensely

also, use task.wait() instead of wait()

[vivid hollow]

how long do you think it'll take before I'm good enough to make simple games

[vivid hollow]

what's the difference?

[stark fossil]

get to know the engines api, that would take like a month

[stark fossil]

i dont remember the exact details but it has to do with precision. wait runs in 30hz whereas task.wait runs in 60hz, so the latter one yields more accuurately

[vivid hollow]

wouldn't that mean wait is more optimized?

but less accurate

[stark fossil]

not necessarily. the internal imeplmentation of wait can cause performance bottleneck

roblox itself said that you should use task.wait

[shell saddle]

Why start by using modules and classes

Like make basic stuff first

[old basin]

What should I code for my portfolio?

[shell saddle]

why don’t u just show smth u made

[old basin]

i took a break from scripting and developing as a whole for a while so i either misplaced where I put the stuff I coded or I just dont have any

[shell saddle]

uhmmm

[vivid hollow]

idk like what

modules seem to be really useful

why not learn them

[shell saddle]

they are when u get experience

[mighty mirage]

chatgpt

"wait" 😭

[shell saddle]

Bless

use task.wait()

[vivid hollow]

no ai actually 😭

I even have the assistant disabled

[vivid hollow]

this guy explained to me why I should use task.wait already

[mighty mirage]

what are those comments then

[vivid hollow]

some guy I was learning from on youtube said

thats how roblox dev usually

organize their code

[mighty mirage]

[vivid hollow]

whats so harmful about them

[mighty mirage]

nothing just looks silly

[shell saddle]

notes are actually kinda good sometimes

[old basin]

what do i code for my scripting application

[mighty mirage]

yeah not for a 50 line round system

[shell saddle]

yeah true

[mighty mirage]

but they're new and might need them so w/e

[stark fossil]

comments should only be to make unreadable code readable

code should be self-explanatory

[mighty mirage]

real

[vivid hollow]

what are some important stuff I should learn?

[fossil reef]

@mighty mirage dm

[mighty mirage]

lol

[vivid hollow]

datastores next after modules?

[old basin]

if you have someone looking over ur code comments make it so that they dont have to read every line to know whats going on

[shell saddle]

No

[mighty mirage]

no

other basic stuff

[shell saddle]

ur going into stuff that aren’t useful when ur a beginner

[vivid hollow]

examples?

[shell saddle]

Tweenservice

[vivid hollow]

I did that already

[shell saddle]

learn that

bless

[vivid hollow]

it was pretty easy

[old basin]

or if you are revisiting a script and want to remember what every function does

[stark fossil]

oh yeah thats documentation

[mighty mirage]

other services too

[vivid hollow]

like I know all of the stuff like
instance
destroy
debris and a bunch of other stuff

but whats the point?

if i know module script

[old basin]

no thats just comments

[vivid hollow]

I can make them

[mighty mirage]

what did I do a year ago

actual schizo

[shell saddle]

Oh well no that promise module

[mighty mirage]

yeah

for applying clothing

[shell saddle]

I don’t like that module

[mighty mirage]

an iq too high

it's useless in lua(u)

[shell saddle]

What’s even the purpose of it

[mighty mirage]

well nothing really

[vivid hollow]

whats the point of stuff like tweenservice, debris, instance, destroy and a bunch of other prebuilt stuff?
If I know module scripts I can just make them myself no?

[shell saddle]

uhmmmmm u need to learn basic stuff go and watch a YouTube tutorial

[solar inlet]

how do i make a billboard gui scale?

[mighty mirage]

yt time

[mighty mirage]

hope this helps

[vivid hollow]

not answering my question 😭

[mighty mirage]

you asked 9 questions in one

[shell saddle]

ask your dad

[solar inlet]

what? i mean scale it based on the distance, do i have to script it or is there an option

[mighty mirage]

I was just kidding

check the properties

it should be there

[vivid hollow]

those were rhetorical questions the only one I needed answers to was the last.

[solar inlet]

how is it called? ive never found it in 2 years

[solar inlet]

no not that, i mean like, it is not affected by the player screen

[mighty mirage]

offset..?

[solar inlet]

no im not explaining properly

[old basin]

scale?

[solar inlet]

wait does that work for billboard ui

[old basin]

yup

[mighty mirage]

yeah scale

instead of offset

[shell saddle]

bless

[solar inlet]

oh shit i fr used to make scripts to make that effect

😭

[mighty mirage]

I mean that's fine

lmfao

[solar inlet]

wait but this way, the text inside will be chopped

even if i use scale on them

[mighty mirage]

will it?

[solar inlet]

thats how it looks from the distance

[mighty mirage]

LOL

yeah idk I haven't used billboard enough to help you out on the spot

[solar inlet]

ok ty

@old basin do yk?

[old basin]

I dont know exactly whats going on

[autumn ermine]

set the billboard to scale

[tranquil acorn]

gus how do i learn luau, I want to make some cash grab games because I saw some yt videos and some people make like 40k robux a day and I want to learn how to do that. I have no knowledge at all with coding, and I was told to stay away from tutorials

[neat glacier]

does anyone know how to go about scripting a curved healthbar? i only know how to do a straight pne

[mighty mirage]

yt vid spam

[deft pewter]

all stuff made in case you need something quick, you can make them custom

[visual saffron]

yo zein wsp

[deft pewter]

if not used then it wont cost you any perfomance technically

so it's fine

[deft pewter]

also hi

[vivid hollow]

alright thansk

btw what do you recommend I learn ?

Its my second day of coding

luau

[deft pewter]

oh

what do you know already

[vivid hollow]

uhh
all of basics like loops, for loops, ipair pairs, while loops, functions, module scripts, vector3, CFrame, Vector2, Tweenservice
and a bunch more

[deft pewter]

do you know the difference between ipairs and pairs

[vivid hollow]

I think one does in order and the other one does randomly and breaks incase of something is missing

idk tho

[deft pewter]

they both do in order

however if ipairs find a nil value it blocks then

[solar inlet]

alr done

[deft pewter]

pairs keeps going

[deft pewter]

until the table finishes

[vivid hollow]

they do?? I thought one cared about the value or index or something

[deft pewter]

yeah exactly

you're talking about ipairs, whenever the idex reached has a nil value then it stops the loop

pairs keeps going until the table is actually finished

[vivid hollow]

alright

what else should I look into?

[hollow aurora]

u can also just skip pairs and ipairs alltogether

[deft pewter]

yeah you can just say the table

[hollow aurora]

idk how good that is performance wise but easier if ur learning to code

also looks cleaner.

[deft pewter]

i think pairs and ipairs are just built-in functions that return a modified table

that's just my thought, i have no idea

[hollow aurora]

ya havent looked in it that deeply

[deft pewter]

so perfomance is faster since you're not using the functions ig?

[deft pewter]

nope

not that deep

[hollow aurora]

def not

[vivid hollow]

should I look into datastores next?

[deft pewter]

what should i know

[hollow aurora]

id say if uve learned enough basics just go make a game and learn that way

[deft pewter]

uh sure, teaches you some new events

@hollow aurora can you explain to me why it's bad though

i'm genuinely interested now

if there's a way to explain it shortly atleast

else imma just do my researches

[hollow aurora]

honestly before roblox made it so you can skip those functions i always used pairs

and never ran into any problems, i dont think it matters a lot but yeah i dont actually know the exact difference

[deft pewter]

i just did some researches and seems like it doesnt do anything to your perfomance

so just use whatever you like the most

and if it's useful for the situation ig

wow

i feel so intelligent for once

i didnt say bullshit yall

[hollow aurora]

that case literally wipe pairs and ipairs from brain

[deft pewter]

not really, ipairs could still be useful idk about pairs though

[hollow aurora]

if ur iterating through an array just skip those functions idk what ipairs would b useful for

[deft pewter]

OK

i got why pairs is useful

[hollow aurora]

for k , v in table do

[deft pewter]

giving out just the table won't say the order or the keys that it has to follow or get, so pairs does that for you

[outer flax]

just use pairs and ipairs for readability and clarification 🤫

[deft pewter]

so use this just when you notice that it's not important

i mean don't use pairs when it's not useful

or use it

won't change much the perfomance

[deft pewter]

@hollow aurora

[hollow aurora]

mmmm

[deft pewter]

aura

[hollow aurora]

i mean it does?

unsure what u mean exactly

[deft pewter]

what

i think it means that if there's an index like "Key" and not like an usual number then might do some crazy shit

imma go do some testing

i'll tell you if i can actually find a difference

[outer flax]

chatgpt said implicit iteration just uses pairs under the hood is that true

[remote root]

WHAT THE POINT OF BINDABLE EVENTS

[outer flax]

communicate between scripts in the same boundary like server to server or client to client

[remote root]

ohhh

[deft pewter]

doesnt make sense

what's the point of saying pairs() then

[outer flax]

cooler

btw pairs is just next()

[deft pewter]

i'm never lucky

that's how you know chatgpt is a liar

[hollow aurora]

19:31:42.039  > local a = {"hey","hello","whatsup"} for k , v in a do print(k,v) end  -  Studio

  19:31:42.041  2 hello  -  Edit

if its a string key based dictionary i dont think you care about order

my internet died

[deft pewter]

never chat again

[spare widget]

oh

[hollow aurora]

volunteers

crazy

[outer flax]

local t = {[1] = "hi",[3] = "hi"}
for i,v in t do
print(v)
end

can you run this for me I'm in toilet rn I wanna check something

[hollow aurora]

also

gpt doesnt know that you dont need to use pairs or ipairs

[deft pewter]

just prints hi twice

[deft pewter]

he does, i'm having a chat with him

[outer flax]

now use ipairs on the same t does it produce the same thing

[deft pewter]

i think it wont?

i mean 2 is missing

so it wont

[hollow aurora]

weird mine always says that it doesnt work

[outer flax]

it prints hi once? So it's just pairs

[deft pewter]

no

[hollow aurora]

no it does

it prints once

[deft pewter]

we can't just write pairs for no reason

[hollow aurora]

  19:40:20.939  > local t = {[1] = "hi",[3] = "hi"}
for i,v in ipairs(t) do
 print(v)
end
  -  Studio
  19:40:20.942  hi  -  Edit```

[deft pewter]

i'm not talking about ipairs

i'm talking about writing or not writing pairs

[hollow aurora]

i think he meant not writing anything

is equivalent to just writing pairs

[outer flax]

ipairs stops when found empty spot

[deft pewter]

pinke

we know that

we're trying to find a difference between passing a table and passing a table inside pairs

[outer flax]

ye just checking if none also behave like ipairs

[hollow aurora]

no difference.

i think its just pairs under the hood

[deft pewter]

ok chatgpt is right

i'm gay

[gilded holly]

Im Willing to pay any actually coders

[hollow aurora]

half a kitkat

[deft pewter]

how much

[gilded holly]

Come dms

[deft pewter]

no dude i'm lazy 😭

just tell me a price

or sum

[autumn ermine]

"coders"

[deft pewter]

dont ever play with use real roblox studio coders

we'll kill you

[outer flax]

what's the difference between coder and scripter and programmer

[hollow aurora]

one writes code one writes scripts and one writes programs

[deft pewter]

i mean do you know what's a scripting language

[autumn ermine]

scripter is a lower intel
coder is mid
programmer is top

[outer flax]

no I just call them all programming lang

[deft pewter]

well they have differences

programmer should be for both i think though

no wait

idk anymore i forgot about this one

yall do your researches i'm too lazy

[hollow aurora]

bro gave up

[autumn ermine]

oh shit

I can't say that

[smoky violet]

HOW did i manage to make a bug like this ( its an easy fix )

[tiny sky]

On the player joining my IndexUI is updated
Remotes.UpdateIndex:FireClient(player, indexTable)

This is a part in my Server Manager Module (Part of my addToInventory Function):
if invetoryType == "Brainrots" then
local indexTable = profile.Data.Index
print(indexTable)

    if table.find(indexTable, saveTable.Name) then
        print("Not Added")
        return
        
    else
        print("Added to index")
        table.insert(indexTable, saveTable.Name)
    

        Remotes.UpdateIndex:FireClient(player, profile.Data.Index)
    end
    
end

This is the Client side of my IndexUI
Remotes.UpdateIndex.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(indexTable)
print("Reached")
SetupUI(indexTable)
end)

When joining, the index is updated and the remotes work fine. The code runs smoothly and prints "Added to Index", but it never prints "Reached" to show that it went through to the client. Instead the game completely crashes and i have to restart studio. Anybody know a fix or the problem??

[viral herald]

What you got here I believe is a recursive function issue

I believe what you got there is a recursive function issue

(forgot the name of it for a sec)

basically means a function that keeps calling itself which causes the code (or even the client sometimes) to crash and exits with a stack overflow error

i believe what you've got there is some sort of a situation where the server and client play a game of ping pong, where the server fires the client remote event and the client somehow triggers the server-side function that fires the client remote event again, and so on... which could cause the client to crash

[viral herald]

Could you also send the setupUI function?

[tiny sky]

local function SetupUI(indexTable)
    ScrollFrameCleanup(ScrollingFrame)

    for brainrotName, brainrotData in pairs(BrainrotConfig) do
        task.spawn(function()

end

[viral herald]

Have you done any sort of debugging before reporting this issue?

like removing each function and putting it back after one by one to see which function is responsible for the crash

[tiny sky]

It doesnt it get to the function, because "Reached' doesn't print. So i know it has something to do with the remote but i dont know what. I also tried using another remote and it still crashes

[viral herald]

So the server crashes?

[tiny sky]

Well my studio. Once it gets to the remote it crashes.
I tried disabling the slient script and it doesn't crash. But it doesn't even print "reached" which is before the whole Ui setup so idk where the problem comes from

[viral herald]

alright so it is a remote event issue

how many times does the remote event get called

if you're unsure, try adding a debounce cooldown to see if it still crashes after (just for debugging)

[tiny sky]

I tried the debounce and it still crashes

And the remote it only called from 2 places on the server. On start and in that function

[split gazelle]

Can u give me something basic to code im out of ideas as a beginner

[viral herald]

make a 2D physics engine inside of roblox

[split gazelle]

mf

[viral herald]

cmon this is roblox it does not get more basic than that

[split gazelle]

man

be fr with me

😭

[viral herald]

fine bro

what kind of games do u make

game genre

[split gazelle]

i have month and half experience cant even comprehend how to do that

[viral herald]

how to make games?

[split gazelle]

i could probably make simple game with my knowledge

very simple though

[viral herald]

what game genre do u like

i mean who doesnt want to do smth that they like?

[split gazelle]

fighting, survival

[viral herald]

Combat systems 🤯

[split gazelle]

And a bit of horror

[viral herald]

but then again you'll have to learn a bunch of concepts before you get there so lets keep it simple

[split gazelle]

like chain or sum (if u know that game)

[viral herald]

horror games have one of those monsters that follow u right?

make an npc that constantly follows you there's your idea

il buy it off you

how much

you take 1,500 USD

[severe venture]

the game?

dm me lol

[orchid nacelle]

yes the entire game

[formal acorn]

whats the difference between deep copy and table.clone()

[abstract delta]

not really

[hasty spindle]

for 1.5k ill make you a better game

[orchid nacelle]

i mean depends

if it will make more than 1.5

[abstract delta]

deep copy will copy all the nested items clone will only clone the first object the nested items will still have the same memory address

[orchid nacelle]

I'l pay someone 500$ to teach me for a year how to blender or scripting

and keep paying

[abstract delta]

wrong chat

[orchid nacelle]

what chat would that be

[formal acorn]

bro 😭

[orchid nacelle]

BRO

🤣

[hasty spindle]

6k usd and i got u

just get a book on blender/coding will save you money

[abstract delta]

$6k is wild

[hasty spindle]

its a little bit more than minimum yearly wage

if im actively teaching a guy scripting i atleast expect this mnuch

[abstract delta]

could easily teach someone how to code like a pro in a week

[hasty spindle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1443849795872493699/1448315962129645699/a5z6jq.gif

no one coding like a pro in a week's time bro

[abstract delta]

yes they are lol

all the concepts are piss easy

[hasty spindle]

you got any games out?

[abstract delta]

games? i don't spend my time making games

[hasty spindle]

but coding is piss easy isnt it

it's easy money

why dont u do it then

[abstract delta]

it is, this is why i code real programs not games

[hasty spindle]

oh fr?

[abstract delta]

no 😆

[hasty spindle]

how much those make you

[abstract delta]

$10k a year per client

[hasty spindle]

you realise someone starting from scratch with no prior coding knowledge is going to take awfully more time to learn basic concepts than someone who comes from another language right

[abstract delta]

not at all

teaching is very easy and simple

[hasty spindle]

you should become a teacher bro

witht his confidence you'll have a class of andrew tates in a week

[abstract delta]

what and have shit pay?

[hasty spindle]

nah not a school teacher

teach coding gang

give birth to prodigies

clearly you know how to

in a week at that

[abstract delta]

im fine i'd rather stick to my job thanks

[hasty spindle]

shit i mean if you can code like a pro in a week why doesnt everyone do it

am i right

easiest job in the world

[abstract delta]

because nobody wants to share knowledge 😆

[hasty spindle]

be the difference maker dude

share your otherwordly knowledge

[abstract delta]

im good, maybe ill write a book some day but not now

[hasty spindle]

name 10 books

[abstract delta]

would take too long

[hasty spindle]

longer than a week?

[abstract delta]

got like 40 coding books on my shelf right now

[hasty spindle]

oh so you a studious scholar

[abstract delta]

no

[hasty spindle]

so you keep em for appearances?

[abstract delta]

i keep em to learn

[hasty spindle]

so you ARE a scholar

[viral herald]

Introduction to C

[abstract delta]

no

[viral herald]

Introduction to Brainfuck

[hasty spindle]

but u still learning?

even though u can code like a pro in a week?

[viral herald]

Introduction to Javascript

[hasty spindle]

what's up with that bro

[abstract delta]

everyone's still learning

[viral herald]

There I named three books

[hasty spindle]

whatchu learning about

[abstract delta]

Cpython internals

[keen panther]

Women internals

Front side

[viral herald]

What about docs

[hasty spindle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1171268756304056371/1184861184864821418/togif.gif

[viral herald]

They're not good enough?

[hasty spindle]

talkkin bout some internals

stop making up words bud

[abstract delta]

Read high performance python, architecture and design patterns with python, already know a bit of internals just not indepth so i'm reading the CPython internals book

[keen panther]

What age u started at?

[abstract delta]

I've read a couple of the docs on the compiler and how it works, docs are good i just prefer books tbh

[viral herald]

aight ty

[abstract delta]

started reading a c++ book at 10 - 11 then started reading the python crash course book at 12

[keen panther]

Damn I'm getting into python and cpp just now cus I'm sick of game development with Roblox and unity and all that

[abstract delta]

good choice

[round vector]

hi

[keen panther]

I thought I might aswell get into real programming since I hate every other creative aspect of game dev

[abstract delta]

couple people i work with also wanted to do game dev did it at uni saw the job market for game dev then decided to learn c# 😆

[keen panther]

@abstract delta since you seem to know a lot could you explain how the hell a language like python and then cpp can be used in 1 same project? Like I've seen repo's with a bajillion languages

[abstract delta]

game dev kinda limits yourself to one area which is meh for jobs/money. You can build shit software which has features and get a client then keep maintaining it and make $5m a year

[abstract delta]

microservices, you can also do it via DBs and im pretty sure there's some kind of API which allows you to communicate with another lang can't remember

im fairly sure you can also import c/c++ into python not sure how that works

docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html here it is

[keen panther]

Thank you I'll look into once I'm out of classes

[formal acorn]

what is iparis and pairs for

[iron kraken]

dont use them

for do in

[ornate needle]

week 2 or 3 in scripting

can someone give me moe ideas of this, i wanna try to make some

[iron kraken]

ipairs doesnt work on dictionaries

ipairs is for order, and pairs is just undetermined order

[keen panther]

I thought Ipairs was to go in order of the table? I barely use it

[supple spindle]

oh mb

[formal acorn]

i never used them

[iron kraken]

but u shudnt use them

[formal acorn]

and im good

[iron kraken]

in 2026

[keen panther]

What do u use?

[ornate needle]

^ would be appreciated

[iron kraken]

use for i, v in table do

dont includ epairs or ipairs

[keen panther]

I use that and pairs in a mix between the 2 based on the situation

[iron kraken]

i think in is just better

[formal acorn]

metatables cant have real usage, why would i do like table + 5

[iron kraken]

do yk what a metatable is

[formal acorn]

ok i mean metamethods

[gilded holly]

Any combat scripter here

[iron kraken]

metatable is mostly just giving events to a table

u attach a table to another table

and that attached table is the metatable

inside a metatable there are metamethods

those are basically the "events"

[formal acorn]

yes yes

ik, but i dont see real usage for this bullshit

[iron kraken]

the use is that u can give automatic behavior to ur tables

[formal acorn]

mm

[iron kraken]

lets say i want to initialize a table whenever i index a new index that doesnt exist i want it to automatically intiialize that index

[ornate needle]

nah lol

[formal acorn]

uhhh

[iron kraken]

without metatable u need to make sure ur table is intialized whenever u try to use it

as opposed to usiing a metatable and its just automatic

and that means less code and remember less stuff which is good

otherwise everytime u make something that doesnt exist already in the table u need to remember

i need to initailize this new index and call this function or smthing and thats annoying

[formal acorn]

i feel like oop might be more useful than this

[kind gorge]

oop uses metatable and metamethods

[round vector]

are you following a tutorial or self-learning

[supple spindle]

yo what weather system are u using

this is the type of rain i have been trying to find everywhere

[formal acorn]

ik

[ornate needle]

no i tried to do this After Allah's will by myself

[ornate needle]

no system

i tried to add a part with VFX

and added some effects for the thunder effect

etc

[formal acorn]

and it was necessary to bring religion into this

[supple spindle]

dang good work on the rain really havent seen anything better

[ornate needle]

tysm bro

[ornate needle]

im a religious dude, you got a problem with this? did i hurt you?

just dont comment on everything around

[tame ibex]

what does this mean

[formal acorn]

yes i do have problem with it

[placid edge]

is there a way to reference variables in a for i loop without typing out the full name

like if you have two variables anim1 and anim2

[ornate needle]

u do scripting too?

[placid edge]

could you somehow refernce i by doing like anim..i or something

[supple spindle]

yes i do it aswel but i never got any idea on how to approach something like rain, i tried with particles but it was wacky and then i have been using some weather system with extremely bad looking rain, it was completely inconsistent and i never found anything better 😭

[tame ibex]

its easy

[supple spindle]

how come all the open source rain stuff looks so incredibly unrealistic

[tame ibex]

no ground splashes no feedback

[supple spindle]

ay you know you could try to add some rain drupples on your screen once its start raining yk

[tame ibex]

rain droplets should be subtle

these arent

im crine

[ornate needle]

yo, how to do that

[supple spindle]

in real life there is barely ground splashes unless incredibly heavy rain like in the rainforest or on really flat surfaces

[supple spindle]

im really not too sure i know its possible but maybe gonna be a challange with roblox's limited engine

[tame ibex]

blud in games u have to go an extra distance to convey realism

[empty bone]

learning how to script seems impossible

[tame ibex]

without obvious ground splashes it would obviously look like emitters im crine

[supple spindle]

ground splashes is what it makes unrealistic

[tame ibex]

blud im crine

ragebait atp

[supple spindle]

like i said there arent any visible ones unless there is extremely heavy rain

imagine going out in light rain and seeing tsunamis of splashes popping up 😭🙏

ts is what u call realistic btw

[tame ibex]

no

[supple spindle]

yes

Dont use them its bad for performance

[abstract delta]

wrong channel

[sturdy field]

Is there a way to automatically get the resolution of every image used in a game without manually checking them or relying on external tools?

[hasty mesa]

you can use editable images

[remote bear]

if i am going to call buffer.writeu8 like 3000 thousand times is saying local writeU8 = buffer.writeu8 at the start going to benefit me?

[sturdy field]

This only works if the image was imported into an EditableImage no?

[hasty mesa]

you can import it at runt ime

[lost birch]

Is it ok like to fix my code with AI?

[hasty mesa]

although you have to own the image

[hasty mesa]

no

luau optimizes many built in functions

[lost birch]

?

[hasty mesa]

so that localizing it has no effect on it

[remote bear]

ok thanks for letting me know, there is a bunch of debate about if localizing them optimises it use

[tame ibex]

blud buffer is not fastcalled

[exotic helm]

Anyone wanna test game out my friend made it’s about escaping peter? Dm me for link

anyone here know basic scripting? like really basic

[abstract delta]

yes

[indigo knoll]

can u come dms rq

[remote root]

whats the point of unreliableremoteevent

[lost pebble]

when the data you're sending isnt important and doesnt matter if it's lost

[remote root]

what would that data ever be

[lost pebble]

visual effects

that's a common one

[tame ibex]

what’s shared

im crine

[subtle terrace]

plus it's a good optimization if you're sending too many remote events

[split gazelle]

any feedback for ts code i built

[tawny jungle]

how long does it take for me to get approved for luau scripter?

[polar linden]

its hard

[hallow crag]

dude

why the comments

did you use gpt

[split gazelle]

I made the scripts chatgpt fixed sone bugs

[thorny trench]

Don't comment unless a comment is needed tbh (self explanatory code shouldn't need comments), also minimze your nesting & personally I like adding section headers

also potentially make your method names more descriptive instead of "Gone" or "Appear" it can be EnableXYZ, OnDisable, etc

[split gazelle]

Thats a good idea

[thorny trench]

also instead of abusing wait use task.wait so it's not on the main thread

[split gazelle]

Ohh

[thorny trench]

also on your wait statements you have it like "000.1" instead of that you can honestly just to task.wait() it will nearly have the same effect

unless theres a direct reason for it being 0.1

[split gazelle]

No reason

So yeh

[thorny trench]

Also for local bad, Workspace#Folder can end up as nil so run a WaitforChild on that variable

with a timeout and then do a nil check just incase

and make sure to keep your code formatted so you can prevent stuff like this

[split gazelle]

Alr

[thorny trench]

also these will error FYI

Needs to be WaitForChild not camelCase

[split gazelle]

Also whats nesting again

[thorny trench]

also since its a server script make sure to key your debounces in a table by UserID so debounce doesn't apply for every player

[autumn ermine]

bro this code terrifies me

[split gazelle]

shi i forgot these are untested changes btw

Is it good for a beginner?

[thorny trench]

Like when you have a big code block like this

local function test()
    if(xyz) then
        if (zyx)
            -- stuff like this or also spamming else statements
        end

    end
end)

IKnstead of deep nesting like this you can do

local function test()
    if not(xyz) then
        -- do a nill check or whatever and print if you want
        return -- Early return
    end

    if not(zyx) then
        return -- same thing pre much, just makes it help for readabilityh
    end
end)

Also helper methods are definately good to utilize to minimize nesting

[molten jackal]

i need help trying to make my overhead gui level go up can sb tell me wsp w this code

[thorny trench]

mb if code is wrong i just made this on my phone so it prolly is cooked indent wise lol

[split gazelle]

Its fine

[split gazelle]

^

[thorny trench]

Yeah everyone starts somewhere

[split gazelle]

Thanks

[thorny trench]

just work on cleanliness and you eventually will learn optimizing stuff and what not overtime

[thorny trench]

any errors

[split gazelle]

Just learned for loops lol gon be using now

[thorny trench]

have you added debug prints to make sure its firing on player join

[thorny trench]

tbh integer for loops aren't used very often buy for _, v is very usweful

[molten jackal]

no idk if its even connected properly tbh

[thorny trench]

add debug prints

[molten jackal]

i just put this script in here

[thorny trench]

where is this located

[molten jackal]

didnt know where else to put it tbh

[split gazelle]

Oh

[molten jackal]

serverscripts

[thorny trench]

add a print statement on join to make sure it fires

figure out where the loop is breaking

[molten jackal]

how do i do that

[thorny trench]

spoon feed maxxing

[molten jackal]

?

[thorny trench]

well first of all

[split gazelle]

I hate when i dont capital one word and the whole script stops working

Pmo

[autumn ermine]

that’s why you use vscode

[thorny trench]

Make a variable for leaderstats if your gonna use waitforchild on it anyways. Next, do the while loop on a different thread, and also end it on player leave so you don't end up with memory leaks

[split gazelle]

Whats dat

[thorny trench]

im so lazy

when game.players == 0 do roblox.algorithm = good return end

[fair mountain]

Is reading the roblox documentation a good way to learn scripting? I don't want to have to deal with all the youtube tutorials and found the documentation and was wonderring if it is a efficient way to learn.

[thorny trench]

🗣️

[thorny trench]

Docs are good for helping you learn, however it will be extremely hard to learn just off of them alone

imo

tutorials are good for learning specifics

[fair mountain]

What's a good way to start?

[autumn ermine]

what he said

[thorny trench]

lua docs better for learning base lua

roblox docs good for learning luau changes

tutorials good for overall

[autumn ermine]

1 youtube tutorial at a time, after each vid, code something

[thorny trench]

roblox ads hate me ✌️

[fair mountain]

Any people in specific like brawldev?

find it on the character and adjust the distance properties if its not there yeah you will need to insert one

there should be an AudioEmitter and AudioListener already there if voice chat is enabled

its in the player not the character

[dense hull]

sadly, Roblox has said this is bannable in any form of communication off chat which is not verify is not allowed you can be warned/etc, also why is there SO many buffers writes??

[remote bear]

yeah i know its against TOS and i am moreso doing it as a side thing. Also since its a white list i need every word that is allowed, currently i have around 3400 lines of buffer writes

[dense hull]

would it not be easyier to use table dict?

[remote bear]

buffers take up more then 80% less memory for strings then tables. Even though its slightly slower i got it to do about 20,000 in 0.08 seconds witch includes suffix and prefix checks

[dense hull]

how about make a plugin in studio to convert a script with words into a buffer auto for you so its not as time consuming?

[remote bear]

its not, i just wrote a C# script to take a list of words and convert them into buffers

[dense hull]

why not use a roblox plugin there easy to make

[hasty mesa]

or just parse it at runtime

[dense hull]

i mean that would cause a lag spike

or longer loading

[hasty mesa]

most likley won't

it would be like a few frames at max

which would never be noticed

[remote bear]

my potato could never

[remote bear]

idk i guess i wanted an excuse to use C# kinda like how this project is an excuse to use Luau

[dense hull]

eh good point

[severe venture]

am i the femboy? the shark? the seller? so confused

[warped ivy]

who needs discord bots made?

[arctic wasp]

For how much?

[warped ivy]

if you want dm me

[lilac apex]

hi guys i just started

any tips

[abstract delta]

Wrong channel

[abstract delta]

The only method to learn how to code which works is by picking a project (ideally simple at the start) googling, researching, reading if you get stuck eg "how to add two numbers together luau". If you get half way or think of a new idea switch onto that idea, you'll slowly learn things each project you build.

[lilac apex]

thank you strange wizard

[remote bear]

Not as good as the original

[molten jackal]

ts finna make me mad ngl

[ocean sail]

I’m making an incremental game and storing models in a DataStore so players get their mobs back in the same spots when they rejoin. It works in Studio, but the BillboardGui on the mobs doesn’t show up in the live Roblox version, why?.(i Published it)

[split gazelle]

Im doing ts but im running out of ideas im doing like 2 projects a day and i post them to my yt

[abstract delta]

Start building bigger projects if you're running out of ideas

[split gazelle]

Alr

[alpine cargo]

have you uploaded any of your projects yet

I wanna see

[split gazelle]

my channel name is dalfe

[alpine cargo]

alr ty

[exotic dirge]

you absolutely should not store models in a datstore, but rather their ID and amount

(and additional data)

[ocean sail]

obv i dont store the physical Models

[exotic dirge]

then share your code

[ocean sail]

imma send u private

[potent igloo]

is there a way to list all assetids of a group?

[tiny sky]

@viral herald Thanks for the help. It was a problem in the client script. I was cloning the models twice and i wasnt clearing the vieportframes each time.

[grizzled kettle]

She said she was local variable but she was really global variable

[exotic phoenix]

How can I check what's affecting my preformance in game? I added a feature and now my FPS have dropped significantly

[solar juniper]

does anyone know how some games make it so that the particles stay constant even if the graphics are low and is it better to do it like that or should I just leave it

[abstract flare]

Does anyone here know why hasBadge always returns false even though i should have the badge?

[median tree]

Micro profiler

[median tree]

make sure this is server script and make sure you have the right badge id

[exotic phoenix]

what should I be looking for?

[outer flax]

why I cant run this test without logging in every time? it was working just now

[median tree]

Big spikes

[abstract flare]

its in a server script and i also put print statements as you see so i would know if its actually getting the right id and it does

[median tree]

What is it printing

[outer flax]

does this also happen to anyone or just me

[abstract flare]

Awarded badge: 1406716139279247

but its printing that even if i test played before and got the badge

[median tree]

Also it doesn’t award badges in studio

[abstract flare]

oh..

well thats the reason why then

😭

[median tree]

Yea

[abstract flare]

well thank you for the help

if i didnt know that i wouldve sat here for a bit longer lmao

[empty bone]

how can i practice remembering all of these scripting stuff like functions,properties,datatypes etc

[broken grove]

Use them

[golden thunder]

You repeat what you learned

[stiff saddle]

badge checks are delayed and cached so roblox lies to you for a while after awarding it

[severe merlin]

yo guys im a ui designer i wanna start scripting my uis what are good packages i should learn

[stiff saddle]

;-; get a tutor or watch youtube videos

[severe merlin]

ya i will but what are good packages i heard some ppl use react or smth but i want some suggestions of best packages i js wanna script my ui for twitter post nth else

@median tree yo wsp friend mind letting me know

[median tree]

what

you dont need packages to script ui

[severe merlin]

what are good frameworks

for scripting ui

if yk

[median tree]

react only works if youre scripting with VSCode

[severe merlin]

there should be some good and usefull ones i should learn right

[median tree]

yes you start from a local script

[severe merlin]

roblox to type script one

right

[median tree]

ive never used react so i wouldnt know

it looks like too much work

[severe merlin]

mm ok

[fading juniper]

anybody use rojo what are your thoughts

[azure blaze]

its okay

[deft coral]

It is

[stiff saddle]

u blocked me nvm

[median tree]

creating ui via code sounds dumb

[formal acorn]

how does bloxburg save its data, there are like thousands of objects for each plot + stats and properties

[formal acorn]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1456387044908597248/1465646553774686366/togif.gif

[median tree]

saves values

[formal acorn]

yea but there are like thousands of objects with properties

[median tree]

it just saves the edited property

[formal acorn]

ye abut u can save only 4mb per player

[formal acorn]

why do people genuinely do this

[median tree]

no idea

[median tree]

they could also be using external data stores

AWS

[formal acorn]

oh yeah

[deft coral]

It makes sense in any other context when u dont already have a UI engine

But web devs cannot comprehend this and refuse to learn

[median tree]

i refuse to learn

[deft coral]

So they deadass convinced roblox devs to make a dom in roblox

[median tree]

i dont think i will ever create ui using react

i dont think its that serious

[deft coral]

Its not

Heavy agree

[main crypt]

yo how can i get the game language settings? the one you pick in-game like the image below
rn im using this thing tho it gives the user's settings language
local language = player.LocaleId

[deft pewter]

insane

i can tutor you some shit for free my man 🙏

[formal acorn]

very cheap

[deft pewter]

but you can just search brawldev or thedevking

they've got goated tutorials

and a playlist so you know what to watch

[formal acorn]

it wasnt bout scripting, i asked for advice bout ui

[deft pewter]

ah shit

my bad

[formal acorn]

im a decent scripter already id say

[deft pewter]

that's good to hear

yall were talking about react

?

[formal acorn]

about how bloxburg saves that much data

[deft pewter]

they probably use an external data saving

[formal acorn]

ya

[deft pewter]

but datastoreservice aint cheap too technically

[toxic marlin]

how does this work

[formal acorn]

httpservice

and u have to pay for it

[deft pewter]

it's a bit hard to explain and since i dont really have personal experience in this context i dont wanna risk to say stupid stuff

[formal acorn]

its just http service

[deft pewter]

yes but they have to connect to something they created

[toxic marlin]

what is the price based on? the amount of requests?

[formal acorn]

not sure but i bet its based on the size

[deft pewter]

or not what they created

not necessarily ig

[formal acorn]

with http service

[toxic marlin]

oh

you dont need to pay for it

you need to pay for external servers

had no idea this was a thing but I guess it makes sense

[deft pewter]

this makes sense

imagine they stop paying though

holy chaos

[jade terrace]

So many yoru PFP wow

[deft pewter]

atleast you didnt say asa 🙏

Hi there guys, I'm working on a roblox API which allows you to filter games based on CCU, visits, creation date, likes and dislikes. So far I've made the game filtration system, but I am looking for smth else to filter. Any ideas on what I should add?

[spice minnow]

combat system like heroes battleground ?
with all the scripts like combat, movement, settings, characters choice, shop, etc
I PAY HIM 30K robux for this am i overpaying?

[static spear]

Might be a bit heavy but would be cool to start collecting users who play the games and check if they've purchased any gamepasses then you can filter by revenue/purchases/all time player count

[tribal meadow]

Forgot to mention, by roblox API I meant an web API which is related to roblox.

[static spear]

Yes, this should still be possible just heavy on amount of requests

[tribal meadow]

It's not about the heavy amount of request, but rather the amount of resource it would take to store all that data.

Also, tracking allat is gonna be heavy on the server too.

[static spear]

Yep, only other thing I could think of, you've pretty much got the rest

[tribal meadow]

Thanks for the suggestion bro

[shell saddle]

no

[tribal meadow]

appreciate it

[shell saddle]

ur paying him too little

[shell saddle]

well the roblox proxy and api is shit ❤️

[ornate needle]

im trying to play a random sound out of 3 sounds in sound service once a button pressed, how do i do the random for that? im a new scripter

[shell saddle]

roblox proxy can't even handle 100 requests

[tribal meadow]

I've added limitations for that

[shell saddle]

math.random(#thefolder) should work

or smth

[shell saddle]

bless well big games is not made for to use the proxy

like u will have to make ur own

[tribal meadow]

It's an external web API

[shell saddle]
