[vital solar]

What’s the first thing I should try to script?

I think I should try to make a block to where when you touch it you die

[north dagger]

Thats a killbrick lol

[vital solar]

Yea

[north dagger]

Its really easy to make and its one of the first things you do when learning how to script

[vital solar]

alright bet thank you very much man

[north dagger]

Yea u welcome

[cobalt yoke]

yall rate my punch

i used loops for values

its peak right

[hasty gulch]

Make a module for it

I got a deal damage module for ts

[shy cipher]

brawldev does gets the facts straight but his tutorials are like really long and boring and not rewatchable so I wouldn't say they're the best (although they're one of the most up-to-date ones)

[tulip lily]

are u a scripter

[smoky snow]

Hiring people to make a td game i will tell you all details in dms but one detail i will tell you rn is the payment if revenue that can go from 15-75 percent of the games revenue depending on how much or what you can do for the game but if you can do barely anything it could go as low as 5-10 percent or if your a tester.

[shy cipher]

like literally two messages above brother ^ ^ ^

[shy cipher]

ya

[smoky snow]

I need a dev🥺

[dense wasp]

A simulation of a blackhole

Wait actually does anyone think roblox could handle the simulation of a blackhole

[dense wasp]

Its always % 💔

[shy cipher]

you're getting a decent portion of the nothing pie

[dense wasp]

Dude this one time i was offered the spot of lead developer (i only know how to program and literally nothing else) and i would've had 5% of the profit 💔💔

[shy cipher]

nestle's cocoa farms in africa got higher pay than ts

[dense wasp]

Maybe i should go work for nestle instead

[shy cipher]

so the lead CEO is taking most of the pay? followed by secondary and vice CEO?

[dense wasp]

This other time i got bored and so joined one of those stupid teams and got offered 10% for scripting the ENTIRE game

I'd be taking well over 40% if i actually scripted the entire game

[shy cipher]

getting paid in monopoly money

[dense wasp]

Why are those games actually just always the exact same games as well

[shy cipher]

damn

best I can do is 12.5% with a pat on the back

[dense wasp]

Give me a monster and a lil kiss on the cheek and you have yourself a deal

[shy cipher]

they start trembling whenever I mentioned U-U-USD or robux 😨

[dense wasp]

PERCENTAGE!! ONLY PERCENTAGE!!!!!

[shy cipher]

I'm recieving 15% of the baseplate (that's 50% more than 10%)

[dense wasp]

I saw someone on reddit literally begging for people to help him and he was "desperate, but picky" AND wasnt paying

If you're not paying you cant be picky lil bro

[dense wasp]

Its 100% more than 0%

[shy cipher]

they think I'm their homie who will work for nonexistent wages jus because I have them in my dms

[dense wasp]

Lowkey i do that sometimes when im bored

[shy cipher]

I lowkey fill their baseplate with backdoors

[dense wasp]

But i get bored of their shitty game and their absolutely horrendous management and disappear after a week

I leave them in a better spot than they started though

[dense wasp]

LMFAOOOOO

Add a lag machine deep in a 1000 line module so they can never stop it

[shy cipher]

I usually make a script hidden inside a random part in the game that clones a while true do end without any waits to random instances

that way they can't track it down

nice reaction time bro

[dense wasp]

I like threatening to do this when the "lead dev" pisses me off

I also like the threatening to make it so they get obliterated and force kicked from the game every time they try joining it

[shy cipher]

I'm just a lone wolf these days you know working alone like batman

[dense wasp]

Me too 💔

[shy cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/kaperoo-the-isle-evrima-kissenkitten-gif-12891880154347370873

[dense wasp]

But i dont know how to do anything other than code so my games visuals are all ass

[dense wasp]

I actually have a poster of these guys on my wall

[shy cipher]

I can do anything other than good vfx or any modelling whatsoever

trust me bro

[dense wasp]

I can do absolutely anything other than vfx, sfx, modelling, building, basically everything that isnt coding, uhhhm and animation

[shy cipher]

you not a programmer if you don't have this installed (I barely ever use it)

[dense wasp]

I do have it

I know the basic syntax of a few languages

[shy cipher]

you go girl

[dense wasp]

I know how to use q# actually heh heh heh

Thats like my favourite thing to brag about

Q# is a quantum programming language

[shy cipher]

jarvis, pull up their early life digital footprint and post it on twitter

[dense wasp]

NOOOOO PLEEAAAASSSEEEE 🙏🙏🙏

Netanyahu if you can hear me please erase my digital footprint

[dense wasp]

YAYYYYY

Thank you big yahu

I'll get on coding palantir now boss!

[shy cipher]

what does palantir even do brah

[dense wasp]

Do you have your own state manager

[dense wasp]

Spy on you

[shy cipher]

so like every single consumer AI product on the planet?

[dense wasp]

Yeah pretty much

Well literally just everything is spying on as atp

[shy cipher]

I can manage my own states myself pretty well

I've read an online blog on it and forgot about it later

[dense wasp]

No like a state manager module you moron

Idk what to add to mine

[shy cipher]

some states and managers

[dense wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/cod-ww2-stare-gif-4330296765672650265

I will vaporise you

[shy cipher]

getfenv and setfenv is a much better practice than "modules" tbh

[dense wasp]

I need to do a commission at some point im soooo broke rn i only have 700 trillion dollars in my bank account

[dense wasp]

Yeah i have no clue what those are

[shy cipher]

basically they're 3rd world country modules

modules at home basically

[dense wasp]

What like when you set up yhe tables the same way modules do?

[shy cipher]

I quit commission scripting a while ago when I noticed I was competing against bangladeshi men who have worked at roblox before

[shy cipher]

nah you just set and use environments, kind of like scopes

it's deprecated as shat now so I didn't bother to learn it

[dense wasp]

Why would it be better than modules then

[shy cipher]

um

you can get and set an environment 😜

what more do you want

[dense wasp]

Did you just wanna show off your knowledge?

[shy cipher]

don't be selfish

I literally only know that it exists

[dense wasp]

Lowkey sometimes i make some really random comparison just to show people i know stuff and im not a complete idiot

[shy cipher]

I actually own the official "programming in lua" book (I pirated it)

[dense wasp]

Can i have it

[regal salmon]

No.

[dense wasp]

Damn it

Dude awakened like a fucking sleeper agent holy shit

[regal salmon]

wha 😭

[shy cipher]

it's like 347 pages and I don't think gamers like to read

[dense wasp]

The moment i asked if i can have it you just magically appeared

[dense wasp]

R-reading...???

[regal salmon]

ah lmao i've been spectating for a minute or two i just haven't had anything to say and thought it'd be funny

i've Outlasted enough Trials

[dense wasp]

Gulp

[shy cipher]

I came I coded I conquered alright

[dense wasp]

I actually coded didcord

If you really think about it i made discord and you're all using my app

[shy cipher]

I was the lead dev for whatsop (10% and no robux until revenue stream)

[dense wasp]

I made every programming language in history (0.2% and a role in a discord server with 100 people)

[shy cipher]

I taught the CPU machine code alright

it can now make its own killbrick

[dense wasp]

I will teach you how to add a script into the workspace if you pay me 10 trillion dollars

[shy cipher]

I'm real brawldove and I will save you all from not knowing how to script (no negotiation)

all you have to do is buy my course

I haven't tested if the paywall works

[dense wasp]

Bitcoin miner

[shy cipher]

that sounds racially motivated

[dense wasp]

NUH UH

[shy cipher]

if only sweet dear nestle gave me a raise so I didn't have to do roblox development

[dense wasp]

Nestle pays better than roblox development for sure

[shy cipher]

if you're a white libby then sure

[dense wasp]

Nestle and openAi genuinely becoming sukuna vs gojo to fight over who gets all the drinkable water but in the end a developer of some random ass asymmetrical horror game kills both of them and becomes the biggest water consumer of all time

[shy cipher]

I can't imagine taking water away from poor sam goodman

[dense wasp]

Who?? 😭

[shy cipher]

the openAI CEO silly

[dense wasp]

Oh

All those damn ceo's look the same to me

[shy cipher]

all that money spent and facebook made a worse looking rec room called metaverse

they needed more water for development I think

[dense wasp]

They did

Thats why 99% of roblox devs fail

Not enough water consumption

[shy cipher]

thank goodness I own a few valuable NFTs, I think their price hasn't plummeted and jake paul didn't scam me

[dense wasp]

I should make an nft roblox game

But you can just screenshot other peoples nfts and use them yourself because thats basically what you can do irl

[shy cipher]

most conservatives don't know this secret trick

preston actually made NFT pets in pet simulator so nobody can screenshot your huge endangered animals

[dense wasp]

They need to make it so you can get a dodo

But its just a fossil on a little cart

And it consumes 1000 litres every 30 seconds

[shy cipher]

nah we bludgeon it to extinction and capitalise on their feathers to be lore accurate

[dense wasp]

Yesss

And we forcefully bring them back 100 years later because their capitalistic goals haven't been reached

[shy cipher]

too bad we spent all natural resources on making chatgpt 9 which was last time used to make a queen of england entering wwe smackdown 30 second clip and they still didn't get the fingers right

oh these communists took my time, I was reading peak a while ago (the programming book that I illegitimately have in my files)

[dense wasp]

When its 2077 and instead of cool neon lights and cybernetic implants we just have ai generated slop of random animals

[dense wasp]

Damn communists, they need to start consuming as much energy as possible

[shy cipher]

I already donated all groundwater to facebook

I'm such a good mother 😊

[dense wasp]

You need to stop showering so they can make the metaverse and make ai generated nft's

[shy cipher]

I only drink sprite and shower using compressed air so I think I'm doing good

[dense wasp]

Far too much water being used, just dont drink at all problem solved

Think about the poor poor thirsty ai data centre

[shy cipher]

I can't believe my taxpayer robux goes into funding buying industrial grade gaming gpus for a slop machine

[dense wasp]

Raising ram prices as well

Spent 2 years learning how to code just for ai to come and ruin it with its stupid ass slop

[shy cipher]

an ass could be smart too, indeed

well now 32 gigachews of ram now costs as much as my entire setup

[dense wasp]

Wtf is a gigachew 😭

[frail yarrow]

broke boy

[shy cipher]

does gigabite sound better

[dense wasp]

Yes

[dense wasp]

Im not broke

Im soooo rich

I have one and a half gb's of ram

[dense wasp]

Delulu is the selulu 😛

Im so sorry please forgive me

Don't crucify me please

[delicate shoal]

Guys is there an ai that learns from the player actions or something like that?

[still egret]

whos the promgrammer for the HD bot? i need to conact them.

[shy bronze]

is it possible to prompt players to like the game?

[stray oak]

😭😭😭

[stray oak]

Buzz word final boss

[small ruin]

ye

[shy bronze]

how

[small ruin]

just need you little more info on what u mean, didnt really got it

[shy bronze]

how to prompt players to like the game like how you prompt players to join the game's group

[small ruin]

for group its ⁨player:PromptGroupInvite(...) ⁩ and for like ⁨player:PromptGameLike()⁩

[round vector]

What does __index do

[shy bronze]

are you sure the prompt game like function exist?

[tidal bolt]

its magic table fuckery

[round vector]

Also is : for setting a value for a subclass in luau OOP

[tidal bolt]

no?

the ⁨:⁩ method syntax just passes ⁨self⁩ (the object) as the first parameter to the method

w/out having to write it

[weary socket]

There really is no thing as a subclass in the sense of C languages

[tidal bolt]

there's technically inheritance

but it's... weird

[small ruin]

oh nah

mb

[tidal bolt]

like all luau oop things

[shy bronze]

so what does work?

[weary socket]

But it's more custom rather than built in

[small ruin]

there isnt a real sort of popup i think idk

[weary socket]

Different people can implement inheritance differently

[shy bronze]

😭

[small ruin]

you can prompt group join maybe but sry

not sure tho , searching is better then me

[round vector]

is this right

⁨```local Marketplace = {}

Marketplace.__index = Marketplace

function Marketplace:add(item)
table.insert(self, item)
print(self[item])
end

function Marketplace.new()
local newSection = setmetatable({}, Marketplace)
end

return Marketplace```⁩

[weary socket]

Almost

Self[item] if self will be used as a dictionary. You using it as an array tho

print(self[#self])

[exotic dirge]

0?

[weary socket]

What's 0

[exotic dirge]

output

[weary socket]

#self won't be 0 cuz you're doing it after inserting an element

Depends on what item is

[exotic dirge]

doesnt self have methods wich makes it a dic

[weary socket]

No it's has no methods l. The methods are in the single Marketplace table you made

It's complicated

When you do marketplace.new():add(2) add won't be found in self so lua will find it on the metatable and return that

[exotic dirge]

ok mb I never use #self only #self.table

[weary socket]

Have all ur items in a sub table self.items and add that items table to the self table in new()

[sacred lily]

How much robux is a game likely to require initially for advertisement to stay relevant in CCU?

[shy cipher]

the ad system is an overglorified bidding site so there's like no concrete rough number to go off of, mostly luck and dependent on the audience you're targeting

I mean I ain't spent the 30k I got last time from grinding commission scripting on "aDs" because I know it's gonna get some CCU and get buried into irrelevancy so I rained it all down on gamepasses

[serene cradle]

24hrs progress

gotta unrust

[shy cipher]

https://giphy.com/gifs/wow-clap-wowclap-rcOZyYTRIp8SY7W7e9

[serene cradle]

go by with 30k and do discord partnerships

should suffice

[hard garden]

all of that in just 24 hours?

[serene cradle]

Yup

[shy cipher]

would be cool if the camera slowly followed the player instead of instantly snapping into position kind of like that baki scene

[serene cradle]

Could do

It's a custom camera I made

[carmine siren]

has anyone here tested chatgpt's codex or normal chatgpt for roblox scripting? how does it comepare to other llms like gemini and claude

[serene cradle]

It's ass

Unless u use it to debug

I don't use it at all I debug the old way

Prints >>>

[shy cipher]

damn that's deadly

personally I simply use chatgpt for asking questions and as a learning guide, not something to write my entire codebase with

[serene cradle]

Fair enough

Since ai came I've been loosing easy comms

Like simple fronted stuff

💔

[shy cipher]

well if it wasn't for chatgpt I'd still be talking about Lua and Luau interchangeably, but still the scripting market is inflated as balls now

[serene cradle]

I'm saying

Simple ass comms used to make u atleast 50 per

I abused small comms and managed to wrap up 3-5k usd in 2 and a half weeks

[uncut nest]

Good ol' day

[serene cradle]

On god 🥀

[karmic wadi]

u stopped doing comms?

[serene cradle]

I still do them but I'm more into Backend now

Although I can do both frontend and Backend

[karmic wadi]

dont u work for a big released game

[serene cradle]

Not anymore

Last big comm I did was a cash grab game

[carmine siren]

i mean i been using claude/gemini to make and refactor entire systems

worked pretty good

[serene cradle]

Started looking at anime games and decided to make myself a anime game

See how it goes

[karmic wadi]

anime games need to be unique

I knew a guy who invested into an anime game

and it flopped

on launch

even tho quality was decent

[serene cradle]

Oh yeah my combat system isn't those type of parry based games

Too many of them are out here

[carmine siren]

what game u making? funnily neough im making one too

[serene cradle]

Demon Slayer game

[carmine siren]

ah good luck

[karmic wadi]

how big is the dev team

[carmine siren]

ur devs working for % or u paying them

[serene cradle]

Half of em trade rest I pay them

[serene cradle]

About 15 people

[carmine siren]

ah nice

[serene cradle]

I'm the only scripter tho

[serene cradle]

I work for them they work for me

[karmic wadi]

shit will be hard, gl

im making a pvp pve survival horror game with 2 scripters

[carmine siren]

i need to find myself a ui guy who gon work for % do u know any

[serene cradle]

I'm not sure there's any good ui maker with %

I got my ui off clash for 550 usd

About 30-50 frames

[carmine siren]

clash?

[serene cradle]

Pvp horror game

Now that's unique

[serene cradle]

Ye

[karmic wadi]

its multiple game concepts in 1 game

= high appeal

perfect for 13+ users long temr

it cna also be trendy and easily be popular thanks to social media

[serene cradle]

Defo

[karmic wadi]

so yeah

we're just in early alpha

early shit is always ass

[serene cradle]

I'm not sure I might make a cash grab game again and just let it get me side money

I've been getting into vfx lately

[karmic wadi]

cash grabs is very rare to make actual decent money

like u need alot of luck

majority if not all cashgrabs dont make any money to work

devs behind that waste weeks or months doing that shit

[serene cradle]

Just read charts or make something people do irl

Person I know made chip bomb

It holds a solid 11k ccu

Top was 50k+

[serene cradle]

It's either I do this or a hell's paradise battlegrounds game

[shy cipher]

actually what kinds of games do good these days?

[karmic wadi]

well there's the simple fun game type of cashgrabs

and there are ones with 0 taste

[serene cradle]

I was so bored I made a cutscene exporter

[karmic wadi]

that get 0 shit

[serene cradle]

There's almost no good comms

Most are long term

[karmic wadi]

why not do smt unique

[serene cradle]

I'll be real I'm only doing these stuff to enhance my other skills

Trying to learn animating and vfx

If im able to go fullstack with those then I'd be able to make games alone

[karmic wadi]

so u been scripting for 7 years and u need a few more years to perfect ur skills?

why not join projects

and get % maybe if u want to have a game

[serene cradle]

Oh no scripting is pretty easy that's the thing

I get bored with it so I want to try out other skills

Such as vfx and animating

[karmic wadi]

u doing ts for fun not for the money bro 😿

[serene cradle]

I'm doing pretty good with my irl job, junior software engineer

[karmic wadi]

oh fair

but like being a dev for a cool game never hurts ur ego

[serene cradle]

I don't mind the money, I could low-key join projects tho

[serene cradle]

Don't know what games to join last time I joined a big one was holy war x or smt like that

[karmic wadi]

sounds like some shit game

holy war x

[serene cradle]

Inactive so I got kicked no time

[serene cradle]

It's a pretty hyped game but it's been on dev for nearly 2 years

[karmic wadi]

yeah thats fucked up

2 years is alot

[serene cradle]

I might have to look for other games to dev on might look at hiring posts later tonight

[autumn oyster]

what do you guys think is the best approach to making liquid pouring? like simple fuel out of a jerry can

[karmic wadi]

I would be down to give u a spot but that depends on if u like our format / style

[karmic wadi]

vfx playing is easier option

[autumn oyster]

i was thinking potentially trails but that doesnt seem like a good approach to me

[serene cradle]

What's the genre

[karmic wadi]

and make droplets appear

[autumn oyster]

what kind of vfx though

[karmic wadi]

its multiple concepts in 1 game so I would say sandbox or survival on the roblox game page as the main genre

[serene cradle]

Vfx or you can use tweenservice to make ur life hell and use parts

[autumn oyster]

im definitely not using parts lol

[karmic wadi]

like liquid pouring vfx

[serene cradle]

I see

[karmic wadi]

smt transparent

[karmic wadi]

We can discuss it in dms to see if u like it

[serene cradle]

Sure

[dense wasp]

Why are the scripter for hire things so underpriced man no way someone wants an entire bee swarm remake done for $55

[shy cipher]

we have bee swarm simulator at home

[serene cradle]

That's exactly what I'm saying

[dense wasp]

I would charge $55 just for cursing me with the insane underpayment

[serene cradle]

I miss late 2020

Early 2019

[dense wasp]

I miss when ai didnt exist and people were forced to pay scripters really well

[karmic wadi]

early ai was a nice phase tho

ur classmates saying there's a way to solve ur homework

[autumn oyster]

ai is an amazing tool

[karmic wadi]

that was fun

[dense wasp]

Ai was interesting for about a month then it just got boring

[karmic wadi]

yes

however it can be misused

[karmic wadi]

nah

[dense wasp]

Dude its making your job obsolete what the fuck are you talking about 😭

[karmic wadi]

its still pretty cool

[karmic wadi]

lets just take their job

ask me a question and I answer

[autumn oyster]

and is the next big step in humanity's progression to be a more advanced civilisation, arguably as big as the calculator

[shy cipher]

and then they try to ban encryption services to "protect the children" (its never about the children)

[karmic wadi]

def will add to humans being more stupi

d

I hope roblox wil solve their current issues, the removing faces and chat thing

[autumn oyster]

ai is not at that level yet, and if you know how to utilise it, you can speed up your learning 2-5x

[dense wasp]

How much wood could a woodchuck chop if a woodchuck could chop wood

[fallow kestrel]

its actively making the majority of the people who use it less intelligent imo

[dense wasp]

Yea give it 2 years and it'll be coding better than any human can

[shy cipher]

it's a circus where they try to impress them investors aghhhhh

[autumn oyster]

that could be true, but i know how to use it for learning, meaning that while it's making other people less intelligent it's doing quite literally the opposite for me setting me ahead lol

[dense wasp]

EXACTLY

Ruins cognitive and critical thinking skills

[karmic wadi]

they acting like they need them investors

[serene cradle]

Just "chatgpt" ur way thru

😭 old days

[autumn oyster]

i have a very strict code and project structure i stick to that i almost entirely learned from GPT lol

[dense wasp]

Thats pretty embarrassing dude

[karmic wadi]

and teachers also thought you were getting better

at studying

[autumn oyster]

quite literally not at all

im a better programmer than you because of it?

[serene cradle]

[autumn oyster]

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

[dense wasp]

How would you know? 😭

[shy cipher]

they doing anything atp to show the investors that things are happening even though roblox is pretty much self sufficient because there's barely anything needed to be done by roblox themselves other than progressing the engine (which I would appreciate if they did that 😭 )

[autumn oyster]

just chance, there's rarely scripters here that are more knowledgable lol

[dense wasp]

The fact you need some robot to tell you how to do basic shit? Yea it is embarrassing

[autumn oyster]

basic?

[karmic wadi]

I will deadass start protesting everyday

if roblox does smt I dont like

like removing R6

[autumn oyster]

my project structure is quite literally unbeatable

[karmic wadi]

omg the shit I will do

[autumn oyster]

you will rarely find a codebase that looks better than mine

[dense wasp]

Literally no?? Most people here have been programming for over 5 years 😭

[autumn oyster]

or code that's structured better

[dense wasp]

Yes, making a file structure is the easiest shit ever

[autumn oyster]

not just file structure

using good OOP structured code

[dense wasp]

Easy as fuck man

[autumn oyster]

knowing the right approach to problems

[dense wasp]

I learnt advanced oop in my first year of programming (WITHOUT using ai btw)

[autumn oyster]

alright then

show me how your code looks like

[dense wasp]

Im not at home atm

[autumn oyster]

clown bru

[autumn oyster]

so how do you create a constructor-based class?

[dense wasp]

??? Sorry i have a life and im not a basement dwelling ai glazing tart like you?? 😭

[fallow kestrel]

damn wtf i been at this for two years almost and i havent even touched oop it i gotta lock in bruh

[autumn oyster]

i have a like outside of roblox programming dude 💀

[dense wasp]

Elaborate, im not good with all the terms

[dense wasp]

Then why am i clown for being away from my computer

[fallow kestrel]

"show me your code" "im not at home" "clown" what bro 😭

[autumn oyster]

not extremely necessary as long as youre able to keep your code manageable and if your codebase isnt messy

[autumn oyster]

there you go

just a class with a .new constructor

[vestal pumice]

You don’t need to learn oop though

[dense wasp]

Okay so thats literally the basics of oop

[autumn oyster]

yeah, so how do you do it?

[dense wasp]

I just dont know the terms for shit dude i dont feel like its necessary

[dense wasp]

Do you expect me to write the code for it right now or something

[autumn oyster]

just explain it simply?

[vestal pumice]

Bruh is this semetrygates new alt

[autumn oyster]

"base class has __index metamethod set to itself, .new constructor returns a table with metatable set to the base class"

like what?

[dense wasp]

Well now you've just explained it for me??

Wtf this guys ragebaiting

[autumn oyster]

💀

[dense wasp]

Do you really find oop this difficult?? Its basic coding principles

The average scripter should understand oop

[autumn oyster]

i dont find it difficult, i can just tell you're too big for your boots dude

in what cases is using : necessary in a class?

[dense wasp]

Im not, im just bad at explaining stuff

[dense wasp]

When you're using typechecking

[autumn oyster]

"im just bad at explaining stuff" right.

[dense wasp]

Fuck are you skull reacting me dor

[autumn oyster]

mf im talking about the sugar syntax for class methods

💀 💀 💀 💀

[vestal pumice]

Bro don’t fall for the rage bait

[dense wasp]

Yeah ykw i have better stuff to do

[autumn oyster]

getting mad for no reason ahaha

[autumn oyster]

LOL

[exotic dirge]

local class = {}
class.__index = class

--Constructor
function class.new(data)
local self = setmetatable({}, class)
self.data = data
return self
end

--Method
function class:print()
print(self.data)
end

[arctic hazel]

guys how do we even add physics in our game

[peak jolt]

physics already is in the game

[shut sorrel]

what kind of physics? What are you trying to make

[arctic hazel]

I'm making a game where people will climb a mountain, but in the middle, things will keep falling down, so they have to dodge them and save themselves.

idk how to add real like physics

[arctic hazel]

owh

[peak jolt]

anchored = false

game done :/

[shut sorrel]

Roblox always has physics on by default, I think what youre trying to make is like a vehicle hits you and you ragdoll or just kill the player?

Otherwise it is as simple as turning off anchor

[arctic hazel]

ragdoll

[arctic hazel]

oh

[shut sorrel]

To make cars fall down a ramp you spawn the car at the top of ramp and remove them when they reach the bottom. You can find a good ragdoll script in toolbox that uses ballsocketconstraints

[arctic hazel]

oh tnx

[shut sorrel]

it's a good first project to get into Roblox dev

[arctic hazel]

[arctic hazel]

wdym ?

[shut sorrel]

it's very simple to make

[uncut nest]

Making a custom physics isn't easy

But it is still doable

[arctic hazel]

[shut sorrel]

Making custom physics isn't but he isn't doing that

[uncut nest]

Very beautiful if you actually understand and know how to implement it

Oh yeah

I didn't scroll up lol

[peak jolt]

very much a waste of time as well

[arctic hazel]

[shut sorrel]

I've tried making custom physics not really worth it if it ain't built into roblox

[arctic hazel]

i started a war

[uncut nest]

Yeah I only use custom physics for something that isn't relating to character's movement/states s
which Roblox physics couldn't handle it good enough

For that I'd rely on roblox physics, though it is a pain in the ass

[shut sorrel]

I really like all the constraints and physics updates they've been adding, it's just the constraints are a bit buggy or limited sometimes

[exotic lantern]

Does anyone need help with coding?

[round vector]

i understand how syntax works but i dont know how to implement it ykwim?

[tough belfry]

Anyone mind explaining what encapsulation is ? I have encountered this concept recently and I would appreciate some help thanks.

[round vector]

encapsiluation like locks a property

so you can't change it with methods and stuff

@tough belfry

[quaint thunder]

any suggestions or advice?

[haughty trail]

useless

[exotic dirge]

nice ragebait

[haughty trail]

what is so ragebait about it?

you dont need metatables to do oop

you dont need to do oop at all

[burnt lotus]

anyone know a good public module for proximity interactions

[exotic dirge]

no but its very usefull

[haughty trail]

how is it useful

name one case

[azure coral]

i didnt even know metatables existed!

been using raw tables

[exotic dirge]

i have a guiservice wich creates a guicontroller using OOP and compisition handling my gui instances

so I can control my ui better

[haughty trail]

and what makes it better than just using functions

[exotic dirge]

its way harder knowing to disable what ui if your making a main menu as an examplen and you would have to reuse quite a lot of scripts

[burnt lotus]

for ui u can save paths to self and use them in the other functions

[haughty trail]

xd

im not even going to elaborate

pointless

[exotic dirge]

thats what I thought

[haughty trail]

thats what i thought

[burnt lotus]

I wonder how his studio looks like

😂😂

[exotic dirge]

whose

[haughty trail]

i have no studio

[burnt lotus]

anyone know a good public module for proximity interactions

[haughty trail]

write your own solution dawg

[exotic dirge]

just make your own

[haughty trail]

why do you even need an abstraction layer for that

[exotic dirge]

organisation is key

[haughty trail]

you call abstraction a organisation?

woah

[burnt lotus]

My game runs only on one serverscript and from what I heard u can’t do proximity’s in modules

[exotic dirge]

i think its better having one OOP module than 10 scripts for each proximity script

[haughty trail]

who said you need 10 scripts

you can literally have one

dumb argument

shit argument

[exotic dirge]

ok and then use collectionservice or what

[burnt lotus]

I can but

[haughty trail]

no i do it the same way you do it in oop

without oop

[burnt lotus]

It’s gonna make my game look unorganized

Let me show u why

o how u get pic perms

[exotic dirge]

without OOP your scripts become way to bjg

and its just a mess

[haughty trail]

are you serious xd

[exotic dirge]

yes

or modules atleast

[azure coral]

thats an advantage only you would understand the code(it does NOT became way too big)

[haughty trail]

oop literally adds overhead

u are so noob

glazing oop

[exotic dirge]

just keep crying lol

[haughty trail]

oh, so using modules = oop

i see i see

[exotic dirge]

never said that

I have service modules that dont use OOP

[azure coral]

tbf he specified 'OOP' module he didnt say modules in general are oop

[exotic dirge]

or 10 scripts for each proximity function

or 1 script with 1000 lines of code

[haughty trail]

1 script with less lines of code than your oop bullshit

more performant

cleaner

[burnt lotus]

How are u able to send pictures

[exotic dirge]

someone is getting a little mad

[haughty trail]

i think you need lvl 5 or something

dunno

[haughty trail]

maybe in your little bubble

[exotic dirge]

0.001 ms of performance does not matter at all

[haughty trail]

boy you have no idea what you are talking about XD

[exotic dirge]

i do

[haughty trail]

you dont

[exotic dirge]

and why not

[haughty trail]

u are incompetent

[azure coral]

tf you need all this for

[haughty trail]

u are noob coder

[exotic dirge]

puzzle game

[azure coral]

conway's game of life type puzzle game or something?

not sure why you need alot of those utilities and modules

[exotic dirge]

thats what it is for

[haughty trail]

lmao

[exotic dirge]

and all those utilities just help not write 1000x a deepClone function

[tulip sail]

You guys need optimization

[azure coral]

imo at that point might as well do everything in one script and label each stuff as functions unless your really REALLY into clean code

[exotic dirge]

I do respect people using normal scripts, but I also love to argue that they are worse

[haughty trail]

they need to start thinking for themselves

[exotic dirge]

i dont get your point sorry

[haughty trail]

you can literally do anything u would do in normal script within module script

[exotic dirge]

thats just plain wrong

[haughty trail]

to execute it all you need to do is literally require it

[exotic dirge]

you cant require normal scripts

[haughty trail]

thats on roblox bad decision making

[exotic dirge]

no thats what modules are for lol

[azure coral]

running everything on just simple scripts (i cant send videos but these are akin to troops as in they attack and move around)

[exotic dirge]

I see a module in there

[azure coral]

aside from one module i didnt use anythin else

you wanna see the insides?

[haughty trail]

modules not modules

doesnt matter

its still a luascriptcontainer

just different run context

[exotic dirge]

bro it looks so unorganized

[exotic dirge]

like stick to one namecasing

[azure coral]

mb

[haughty trail]

who cares, if he is fine with it

[exotic dirge]

ye but then he shouldnt argue that it is more organized

[haughty trail]

did he?

[azure coral]

i meant performant

idc about organisation i need shii to work fast and always

[exotic dirge]

you also said that OOP is less organized i am pretty sure

[haughty trail]

i said that

[exotic dirge]

like all slop developers

[azure coral]

????

[exotic dirge]

dementia

[haughty trail]

OOP is:

• complex
• hard to manage
• hard to read
• ugly
• slow
• hell to debug

[exotic dirge]

most developers on roblox pump out games as fast as possible just to earn money

[azure coral]

how does that correlate to me optimizing my game to its limits?

im doin everything on barebones code no libraries nothing cause they all cause some form of latency

[exotic dirge]

ok , so:

1. Its just complex if you are a noob
2. Its not hard to manage, its way easier because you can use components and if you change that it applies for all other controlers that use that component
3. Its not hard to read if you have a good structure with just .new, :initialize and :destroy
4. thats an opinion
5. I havent had any performance issues and its prob just a few micresconds wich doesnt matter
6. debugging isnt that bad either only problem is the long requirement chain

[wise turtle]

??

[exotic dirge]

thats even more stupid your wasting time

[haughty trail]

you are someone who has never worked in a big project that enforced oop

[azure coral]

it makes it easier for me to customize something and not rely on roblox

i remember one time they messed up particle emitters

[frail yarrow]

no

[haughty trail]

yes

[azure coral]

ever since then i dont trust em with anythin

[haughty trail]

oop is a mistake

a big one

[exotic dirge]

and what does that make me

[wise turtle]

cross module inlining soon™

[haughty trail]

a larp oop glazer

[exotic dirge]

thank you

[haughty trail]

dont thank him

he mogs you

no offense

[burnt lotus]

Jeez

[haughty trail]

id mog

id mog

[haughty trail]

id mog

[frail yarrow]

no you wouldnt

[exotic dirge]

ok "skid"

[haughty trail]

no you wouldnt

[azure coral]

bro just go learn assembly. luau itself is unoptimized piece of garbage compared to x86 assembly languages

[exotic dirge]

ok well I hope you have a great day and enjoy your way of coding with normal scripts and i am sorry if I hurt your feelings or intentions it was a joke

i just like arguing thats it

[haughty trail]

no you are just a noob

a big one

[wise turtle]

whats wrong with normal scripts

?!

[haughty trail]

you cant do oop in normal scripts

you can do that only in modules

[azure coral]

idk apparently its garbage compared to modules

[frail yarrow]

what are you talking about

[frail yarrow]

is this ragebait?

[azure coral]

its sarcasm lol

[haughty trail]

and you cant do modules if its not oop

cuz modules are only and only for oop

[frail yarrow]

stop ragebaiting

[haughty trail]

no, thats what this noob .nick is saying

[exotic dirge]

Glory to SSA and OOP

[frail yarrow]

woah woah woah

[exotic dirge]

ok im out goodbye

[frail yarrow]

lets not get too hasty

with that SSA

[exotic dirge]

cant you say that anymore

[frail yarrow]

you kinda just tossed SSA in there

[exotic dirge]

ok I changed it mb

If any of you know how to code roblox ts dm me I can’t find no commission scripters that seem to know

[frail yarrow]

ik what it is

[haughty trail]

SSA as in IR?

[wise turtle]

consequences of roblox-ts

[haughty trail]

oh a singlke script architecture bullshit

[exotic dirge]

ok next argument: roblox-ts is slop

It’s rlly better then ur shit opp

im using satchel and for some reason it just randomly stops working, do i have a temu satchel cause none of my scripts even touch it

[dense wasp]

You might actually just not understand oop dudw

[tame ibex]

blud shitting on oop in 26 is like reddit atheism

im crine

[dense wasp]

I absolutely love ssa

Ssa is top 5 inventions oat

[haughty trail]

its not invention

noob

[haughty trail]

better to shit on oop

than glaze it

[tame ibex]

son u are not tuff for this

im crine

[dense wasp]

You're speaking like someone that wants to be exiled

[haughty trail]

cool, you're speaking like a random

[dense wasp]

You just dont know oop properly

Anyone who hates on it is just inexperienced

[haughty trail]

so true

everyone who sees that oop sucks, is just a noob oop user that has no clue how to use oop properly

never have i ever heard a statement more trueee

[dense wasp]

All of your points on why its so bad are literally just not true

Its not even slightly complex

You make something using a dot, then you use methods using a colon

[haughty trail]

holy ragebait

[obtuse kelp]

Hey guys, so if i have main game, and copy of the game, if im doing everything on game copy, like updates and smth and then just publish to roblox as main game. Is this right way? Data store will be saved for main game.

Like:
main game=2 coins
Copy game=1 coin

Publish copy as main game

Main game 2 coins
Copy game 1 coin

[regal salmon]

the datastore will remain unchanged in both games when transferring the place, as datastores are experience-wide

[obtuse kelp]

Is this the right way to make and test updates?

[regal salmon]

i'd say it's fine

[obtuse kelp]

Just make them on other game and then publish game as main game

[obtuse kelp]

Can you tell me how devs make updates and testing them?

[regal salmon]

? i said it's fine lol

i dont know if its the right way, but if it works i see no reason not to

[obtuse kelp]

Oh okay i thought you mean like “its fine but can be better”

[covert creek]

Hey everyone, can I post like 150 + lines of code here? its cuz I was trying to learn more about making reusable systems, which made me learn and apply basic OOP for the first time, Ill prob end up shipping a data-oriented anyways but I wanted a non AI opinion on the code and how I could Improve when it comes to placement and attachment

[covert creek]

Is that a yes ? kinda sus ngl lol

[sly plover]

Would I need like a pooling system for my particle emitters? It's a game that basically uses different auras.

[jovial crown]

Pretty sure particle emitters already included a pooling system by default

[solar juniper]

Whenever i use an ability that requires aim with CFrame.LookAt and I tilt my camera all the way up it makes the character freeze and fall, same as when i use it while facing all the way down, the charcater freezes and falls down. Anybody know how to work around this?

[pallid root]

I saw u were intereseted in making a demon slayer game dm me

[serene cradle]

Already making one alone

.

[sly plover]

wdym?

[hallow crag]

global functions and ipairs cmon man

[hidden matrix]

if u can make global chat for me with this command /GlobalChat ( and whatever i wanna type ) pls dm me

[serene cradle]

i HAD to

[hallow crag]

no?

[serene cradle]

i meant I choosed to

[hallow crag]

ipairs/pairs isnt needed

[serene cradle]

:)

[hallow crag]

and global functions in 2026

[serene cradle]

hey man let the old gen rest 😭

im still unrusting

havent had a look at the newer stuff

might check documentations later

[hallow crag]

aight fair enough

[regal salmon]

i still habitually use ipairs and pairs lol

[hallow crag]

lowk took me a while to get used to generalized iteration

[slender marten]

gng do u got good knowledge on hit detection for combat system

?

not about what use to detect but rather how to make it better for high ping players

idk if i should make hitboxes on client and idk magnitude checks on server

or

idk

[serene cradle]

id say take ideas muchachohitbox

it has goodsignal module

[slender marten]

wth is muchachohitbox 😭

also is !strict good learnint

learning

?

anyone here making a bg game and needs help

[hidden matrix]

i need a dev that could help me with a global chat system in 30 minutes

pls dm me

[slender marten]

wdym

[hidden matrix]

like i type /globalchat and my text and the entire game sees it

like what sammy , jandel or the BIG games does

[regal salmon]

use MessagingService

[hallow crag]

ask claude

[hidden matrix]

on what?

[deft coral]

Wont work

[hidden matrix]

on what?

[hallow crag]

it would

[deft coral]

Well correction it can work but you shouldn't

[regal salmon]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/MessagingService

allows you to send messages between servers

[deft coral]

The new API says you shouldn't, or it implies it

[regal salmon]

why not?

what should be used instead then?

[deft coral]

TextChatService needs the player object to properly filter messages

Otherwise you use DisplaySystemMessage but that isnt for chat

Meaning theres no way to filter a global message

[regal salmon]

you can filter messages before sending, no?

[deft coral]

You cannot

[regal salmon]

youre not gonna be using messagingservice directly from the client

[hallow crag]

why would you need to filter messages made by devs

[deft coral]

You cant because TextChatService filters it using a live TextChatMessage instance

Which cannot be created

You can only create one from a system message which isnt filtered

[regal salmon]

what's the difference between the textchatservice filtering and the textservice filtering

[autumn oyster]

just use :PublishMessageAsync or whatever that function is called no?

[deft coral]

One is deprecated one isnt. The old methods are like literally turned off im pretty sure except for FilterForBroadcast which directly states it isnt for chat messages, its for like pet names or signs

[regal salmon]

it doesnt say it's deprecated on the documentation though https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/TextService#FilterStringAsync

[deft coral]

It does

The object it returns, previously used to filter chat for specific users (the way you do chat in general, so an older account doesnt see filtered text but a young one does), is defunct for chat usage

I promise you my word is gospel rn cuz I've been working on a comm for this text rp game for like 3 months and they paid me to research this and find solutions

You can ofc look it up urself im just sharing like im not making up assumptions

[regal salmon]

i see
what would be the correct way to do a global chat system then?

[autumn oyster]

rip my granny she got hit with a bazooka

does anybody here actually make a living off roblox?

or made a reasonable amount of money?

[regal salmon]

jandel is in this server so technically yes

[autumn oyster]

no like

in this chat lol

[regal salmon]

ah

[iron kraken]

no

[regal salmon]

probably not

[cold walrus]

CAN SOEMONE HELP ME MAKE IT SO THE PLAYERBECOMES A BRAINROTA ND WHEN TYHEY GET ENOUPH WINS THEY UNLOCK A MORPH TO SWITCH TO THE NEW ONE

[autumn oyster]

oh nah

[hallow crag]

ragebait?

i cant tell

[autumn oyster]

how’d you get a green role lol

[cold walrus]

no idk how to do

is it hard to do?

[hallow crag]

learn how to code

[regal salmon]

applied for the luau scripter role on the hidden devs site

https://hiddendevs.com/bulletin?id=2

[cold walrus]

easir said then done

[autumn oyster]

ah

is it a lot of work?

[hallow crag]

atleast learn the basics

[iron kraken]

if my game fails ts is cooked

[cold walrus]

pls help

[iron kraken]

literally its grow a garden but better

[deft coral]

U dont, they gutted it in their hurry to appease shareholders because you can't create a TextChatMessage instance without using SendAsync (which is what a client uses to send a message, the server cant use it)

[iron kraken]

i stg it is

[deft coral]

Ans you have to use the textchatservice api

[hallow crag]

do you have a marketer if not then your cooked

[iron kraken]

nah bro

[regal salmon]

do you think they'd actually get on your ass for doing it the old way if only developers / select users can access it?

[hallow crag]

how do you plan on getting ccu then

[iron kraken]

spam content on social media + advertise

[regal salmon]

• its not misused

[hallow crag]

how much are you investing into advertising

[deft coral]

The only way to do it is creating a Broadcast message with DisplaySystemMessage and use the NonChat filter with textservice

But for ur question,

[autumn oyster]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1167560703897505894/1467659019475751031/2026-02-01_23-10-31.mp4?ex=698280fa&is=69812f7a&hm=83ba7b0a50156b02818889a8425b55b4d835d19d7626bcd0332e32fff173001b&

what do you guys think?

[iron kraken]

i have 1k dollars saved

[deft coral]

I mean obviously if you trust them not to report you it should be fine

[iron kraken]

i can spend some of it

[slow plover]

brother

invest the 1k

[deft coral]

U just use DisplaySystemMessage

[slow plover]

dont waste it on roblox

[regal salmon]

i can't imagine anyone would if it doesn't get abused

[iron kraken]

ill only spend a bit bro

[hallow crag]

i was talking robux

[iron kraken]

1 dollar is 1 ad credit

[regal salmon]

though some people are petty and would do anything to get a game taken down so maybe

[deft coral]

Yeah

[iron kraken]

anyways if i invest like how that gon make me any money

[deft coral]

Im just here to like give the rundown lowkey if u wanna bypass it then thats like a risk u gotta gaugr

But it is bypassing

[iron kraken]

itll make me money when im dead i guess

🥲

[hallow crag]

oh shit its not robux?

never done marketing in my life

[iron kraken]

its robux and usd

robux its worse if u buy it

[hallow crag]

not if you got a decent amount

[iron kraken]

becuase ur converting money into robux then to ad credit its bad

buying directly saves money

[hallow crag]

it probably just corresponds with devex rates

and who buys robux

[iron kraken]

idk

back in the day i didnt think u could buy directly with usd

[autumn oyster]

do you guys ever wonder how much robux is sitting in the official roblox account

[hallow crag]

yeah it was just robux

a while back

[autumn oyster]

from all the sales

[iron kraken]

ye cuz i remember my friend bought robux to advertise his game

[hallow crag]

the robux probably doesnt go anywhere

since

its useless for them to have it

[autumn oyster]

it probably does

it’s posted from the roblox account and no reason for them to

program it in so that the robux evaporates

as it doesn’t bother them

[hallow crag]

yeah but what if someone somehow infiltrated the roblox account i dont think they would be that stupid to keep all the robux in there lmao

[autumn oyster]

it definitely has a very long password + 2fa

[iron kraken]

wpoof

[hallow crag]

yeah i mean somehow

[autumn oyster]

that’s what they preach

[hallow crag]

i dont think they would take that risk

of ruining the economy

[autumn oyster]

if somebody signed into the official roblox account they’d probably have bigger problems lmao

[hallow crag]

i mean yeah you would 100% need an inside job done

[autumn oyster]

let’s do it

you blow up the side of the building, break into their servers, hack in and get out

and i can be on the lookout

[hallow crag]

yeah and get 10 years in jail for stealing a roblox account

💔

[autumn oyster]

10 years in jail but people will make cold edits of you so

the scales sorta even out

am i onto something

[hallow crag]

well you do you bro

💀

[autumn oyster]

i need a second pair of hands bro you aren’t going anywhere 💔

[teal tangle]

this might be a dumb question but how do i use remote functions

maybe this should go in code help
oh well

[regal salmon]

it's similar to remote events, except you can return values back to the sender
on the sending side you'd do something like
event:InvokeClient(player, arguments) or event:InvokeServer(arguments) depending on where you're sending from (InvokeServer would be called on the client)
then on the receiving side you'd do something like
event.OnClientInvoke = function(args) or event.OnServerInvoke = function(player, args)
you can then return values from them

e.g.
server:

event.OnServerInvoke = function(player)
  return 5 + 9
end

client:

local value = event:InvokeServer()
print(value) -- would print out 14 in this case

someone pls tell me how to make global chat?

[regal salmon]

the only real way is with MessagingService (https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/MessagingService), but be warned that doing so is technically against the TOS now as there is no way to correctly filter chat messages across servers atm. you might be able to get away with it, but gauge whether or not the risk is worth it for you

definitely still filter the message before sending it out though

[gaunt crater]

How much do ya'll think it would be to hire someone to add an RPG/flamethrower to my existing TPS/FPS System?

[gaunt crater]

Like this is what it's like so far, how mcuh do you think this would cost?

[rough ferry]

General question for anyone with knowledge, I'm really not a programmer but I'm curious;

Are directional movement systems in games notoriously laggy? Can they be made well and still be optimized, and if it were integrated with a combat system, would it be a terrible idea?

[fickle flame]

by directional do you mean just controlling which direction the players can move?

[echo belfry]

chat would it be better of looking at example code to learn how to start creating something, or should i try programming it purely off problem solving and my current knowledge

[rough ferry]

I'm referring to the use of unique animations when holding certain directional movement keys, the animations blend together to create solid realistic movement that is almost used separately from the camera direction

For example when you hold S your character might actually do a backpedal walk as opposed to default roblox where your avatar will just flip to look in that direction and walk forwards even though you keep your camera in the same spot

are there any good resources for learning vector math in Roblox?

[rotund pawn]

Hello!
I am looking for help with organizing structure for "advanced" spell system.

Server loads data => Sends config to player => Unlocked spells + keybind gets loaded (UI) => on key press, if in keybind and can cast => RemoteFunction => Server Validates ownership of spell & mana => Adds player to spell debounce & execute spell => returns true => client runs cooldown

Spell Handler takes function, gets magic type & spell => Gets module of specific spell (fireball eg), gets magic type effect => Creates hitbox with .Touched function that goes forward (with some onhit effect specific in magic type module) => FireAllClients with params => All Clients create the spell effects.

Any suggestions/ optimizations?

[flint rose]

I know this is a bit late, but if you don't mind me asking, could I potentially see what you have already in terms of your organized structure? Overall just to get a better feel for what you are trying to say :>

[rotund pawn]

That is just a code flow before I start yk

The Dot Product, youtuube

[rotund pawn]

Idk how to explain it more😅 its flow of fns

[exotic lantern]

Don't use invokeserver(remotefunction) for casting abilities. If the server lags or the ping spikes, the client will freeze. Just so you know.

[exotic lantern]

Also, don't use .Touched in hitboxes. Use shapecast or the raycasthitboxv4 library. And maybe consider client-side prediction.

[rotund pawn]

The Spell functions will be within task.spawn(), server returns true/false as soon as validation is finished

[rotund pawn]

Will google this, sounds interesting. Thank you

Shapecast I assume is virtual part that can be tweened and detects hits?

[exotic lantern]

Even if the server returned true after 2ms, the packet still needs to travel there and back.

[exotic lantern]

No, This is a mathematical operation of projecting a volume through space.

[exotic lantern]

This is not a part. It's faster, more optimized. You don't need to create anything through an instance, change the CFrame, or delete anything.

I mainly used it for my sword. It works very well.

[rotund pawn]

Oh... Great point. Thanks

[exotic lantern]

btw

[exotic lantern]

For magic, you could also use spherecast, like for long-range spells, similar to fireballs.

[rotund pawn]

Yeah thats the plan, server will handle the detection, dmg, onhiteffects.. and client will have the effects only

[rotund pawn]

Any difference to shapecast?

[exotic lantern]

Spherecast is a type of shapecast. Shapecast is the name of the technology itself, while the rest are specific methods.

I made a mistake. Just a little bit.

[rotund pawn]

Will def check that out, sounds better than flying part with touched 😄

[serene cradle]

camel case godbless 🥺

[rotund pawn]

What I cant find rn, is how to move the raycast slowly

[exotic lantern]

Incremental Raycasting

[rotund pawn]

Do you know about any guide? I am unable to find docs about that

I know I will use shapecast for spells that are instant, like slash. But can't find any posts/guides how to move them

[exotic lantern]

This is not a function. This is a typical use of raycast + spherecast.

wait a sec

Ill try to find

[exotic lantern]

Incidentally, another funny thing is that you can't substitute it, but you can do it using standard methods.
