[rotund pawn]

Okay started up the gemini for this, sounds way more interesting thanks to "stop on hit" possibilities.

But, how do I handle the same logic for client replication without tweens? Do I have to replicate server code to client so I can have two moving shapecasts?

[exotic lantern]

Twins aren't needed for this. Complete synchronization of the logic is required. Basically, the client needs to run the exact same cycle that's running on the server.

[rotund pawn]

You mean like
~Server do Logic of fireball movement~
Task.spawn( Do both at the same time)
FireAllCleints(Params such as start pos, direction, size, effect type,...)

?

[exotic lantern]

Almost. But if you use FireAllClients, the client will start the projectile's movement the moment it receives the packet. While the packet travels to the player (which takes 50 ms), the server's hitbox will move far away, and the player will die from nothing.

[rotund pawn]

How am I able to sync client-server then?

[exotic lantern]

ServerTimestamp

[rotund pawn]

Okay so
Generate timestamp in time now + X seconds (seconds used to cast animation before firing)
~Fire Server function and Client
While timestamp ~= target timestamp
wait
end

Would this work?

Might seem stupid, but this is my almost first time in 3D programming 😄

[exotic lantern]

This isn't stupid. But doing it through loops is a nightmare. Your script might run later than needed. Plus, this won't solve network latency... the implementation should be done using an offset.

[rotund pawn]

Okay, would you mind explaining me how to do it using "offset" without loops ? 😅

I understand everything and how to do it, except for perfect syncing. Which is great

[exotic lantern]

In 3D programming and networking, we treat time as a coordinate. Offset means you don't wait for something to happen; instead, you calculate how much time has passed since the start and where the object should be right now.

Basically, the server sends a packet, and the client receives it at a specific timestamp. The client doesn't start moving from zero; it immediately calculates the position and renders the projectile already at that point. Use Heartbeat, not while wait. Forget about while and wait entirely.

Do I have to write another essay?

Omg

[rotund pawn]

Damn 😄 Thanks for the clarification

Yeah I understand this, I will try to implement something like that for my system. Thank you

[remote bear]

my spelling demo died at the end

[exotic lantern]

lol

[rotund pawn]

I wonder how many games implement stuff like that, since most of spell based games seems laggy as hell

[remote bear]

yeah finding a fast way of checking for words is hard but i feel like my method is fast while also being memory efficient

[rotund pawn]

I was talking about spell stuff we talked above 😄

[exotic lantern]

For bypassing the chat your game will be banned :_

btw

[remote bear]

yeah i know its against TOS. its not public

[exotic lantern]

No, I'm just saying. I'm not judging, by the way.

I'll say right away

[remote bear]

i know

[exotic lantern]

By the way, a question: how do you increase your rank? Lol. For some reason, I'm stuck at a low rank.

[rotund pawn]

Just talk

Takes a while 😄

[dusky relic]

Talk a lot

[exotic lantern]

I have one bronze account, but I forgot the password. I chatted on it an incredible amount, like for a whole week. Despite that, I remained at the bronze level.

[rotund pawn]

I think that there is some cooldown before you gain XP for ranks

[deft coral]

use Workspace:GetServerTimeNow() or a server timestamp system

workspace get server time now can be a bit inaccurate so it isnt good for frame-by-frame but its good enough to shoot a fireball

[rotund pawn]

I will see what I can create with my current knowledge 😄

[exotic lantern]

Ah i wanted to talk about it

[deft coral]

extrapolated velocity though is usually enough for roblox

cframe + velocity * difftime

[rotund pawn]

I understand the theory of this. Will see what I can do when I get home.
What I really love is that with this I can easily stop fireball when it hits anything

[deft coral]

id just shoot a fireball and give network ownership to the client

if it hits anything id just magnitude check if anyone was close enough reasonablyt and that it went a straight line

[rotund pawn]

This function is what I plan when I will create explosion type spells. Just effect and distance check during the effect. 😄

I will try to implement the spherecast for spells like fireball or explosion onhit stuff. If I fail I get back to tweens 😄

[serene cradle]

Might be time to make a proper reactive hitbox module

[deft coral]

or yk use the physics engine

[rotund pawn]

Im too slow, never really used 3D as SW developer 😄

[deft coral]

tweens are not the same as spherecast

one is a detection method the other moves the blocks

two different solutions to two different problems

not mutually exclusive

i wouldnt tween though

if you do, you gotta object pool or use TweenService:GetValue() in a collected loop

for like intensive tweens at least, otherwise its whatever, just ur missing out on physics interaction and some hit detection issues with collision

[rotund pawn]

I will see what Gemini suggest me how to create spherecast for spells I need, will try docs 😄
I do not want to spend weeks learning this just for simple magic playground for myself and my friends 😄

[deft coral]

use the spatial queries under workspace

thats it

:GetPartBoundsInBox

or in ur case

workspace:GetPartBoundsInRadius(pos, radius, params)

[rotund pawn]

For moving fireball?

[deft coral]

u can use that yeah, the center of the fireball is the position

radius is the size

its a ball

then params would just be a list of player characters so you only grab players

id physically shoot it personally with physics

[rotund pawn]

I was suggested that spherecast is better than creating physical part as hitbox.

[deft coral]

people are full of shit

[rotund pawn]

My goal is to fire sphere ball, that stops when hits first object (player,map) and damages the player if hit.

[deft coral]

granted, it depends on the application but if its a moving fireball, spherecast doesnt make sense to use it

thats more of a shotgun

[deft coral]

yeah just spawn a fireball on each client with starttime (server), velocity and position/direction (cframe)

launch that mfer with physics

let the client who owns it do it or let the server do it

[rotund pawn]

Right now I use server for hitbox and fireallclients for effects

[deft coral]

or if u wanna get more technical, let each client do it based on updated values and have them linearly interpolate but thats beyond ur budget it seems for learning

[rotund pawn]

So just velocity, move forward untill range, hearbeat loop and stops on first detected object?

[deft coral]

not to be snarky either

[deft coral]

yeah do that, for a cheapo roblox game with ur friends thats fine

id again not use tween id just use physics

[icy bone]

Are there no better documentation for ik

[deft coral]

No ur fucking cooked

Deadass

Its a "hop in and try the water" kind of Instance

[icy bone]

yeah but the water is fucking pitch black

[rotund pawn]

Damn thank you 😄 Sounds way easier than raycasting my complex spells 😄

[deft coral]

Come on in its radioactive and makes us feel fuzzy

[deft coral]

ya np

[icy bone]

gonna have to use fucking unity documentation or some shit

gonna be on wikipedia

[deft coral]

the tldr is like

its physically simualted so cosntraints on the attachments work

thats the big detail

if ur talking about the IKControl instance

LookAt works the best highkey, or Transform

Rotation I havent gotten to work at all

[icy bone]

bs

anyway time to

spend today learning it

[deft coral]

if u dont mean ikcontrol the big idea of procedural animation is just literally

each joint is a point

and they have to stay a consistent distance away from each other

with one point being the "lead"

so like if u think of ur hand, ur elbow must remain a set distance away, so it bends to do that

the computer is just figuring out whats the shortest location it can do

based on where it is and where it should be

once u know that its p much straight forward to do procedural anim stuff

[icy bone]

So it's just maths I was assuming I needed to use the IK controls

Alr should be easier then

Hey guys, I m newbie learning how to make reusable systems instead of simply hard coding everything, I made a little OOP based EffectService, it Emits, Plays, Stops, and Deletes itself, theres support for light, beams, trails, and particle emitters. I will make the same system using DOP (normal coding), but before I do that I wanted your expertise on what u would do and change, primarily about the attachment and surface placement.

[honest nimbus]

How should i organise my projects? Its like a roadblock i cannot get past

[peak jolt]

never work outside in always inside out

start with 1 script and just keep expanding and refactoring

the organization comes over time and you can always change it up later as long as there are no hidden dependencies

[honest nimbus]

Something just clicked in my head with this statement. More helpful that any devforum post

hi guys anyone interessted to join me making this new game im trying to develop? I kinda dont have any budget for now and will pay if revenue in robux. A scripter/coder would really help me alot now! and yes the game has brainrots in it :3.

[sacred ore]

Yo guys whats the easiest role u can learn. Like scripting modeling n stuff

[dense wasp]

it varies for each person, i personally found scripting easiest but most people disagree with that

[deft pewter]

scripting difficulty is based on what youre doing

you probably just coded some brainrot icl😭

[dense wasp]

dude why does everyone in this server assume im stupid

[deft pewter]

because you woudnt say scripting is the easiest💔

[dense wasp]

it is for me though

[deft pewter]

let me ask you this again, whats the hardest thing you coded

[dense wasp]

firstly idk why you're saying "again" since you never asked in the first place, secondly it'd probably be an npc ai i made

i already said omg can you not read

[nimble fjord]

guys im going crazy, i cant make a dialogue system 😭🙏 what shud i do

[deft pewter]

i read the first sentence expecting to be talking about the same thing

[deft pewter]

whats the big deal

[dense wasp]

maybe read the full sentence next time

[dense wasp]

learn how to make one

[nimble fjord]

Hmmm.. never thought about it that way

but how

[dense wasp]

you can probably find a tutorial on youtube

then just build off of that

[nimble fjord]

right...

[deft pewter]

i can give you my module that does it automatically🤑

nah but what did you have the problem in

[nimble fjord]

So u know how in like pokemon ds games u have the little arrow that pushes the text downwards if its too long

[deft pewter]

yeah?

[nimble fjord]

Yh I can't figure out how to make it

[deft pewter]

oh

[nimble fjord]

And Im losing my mind over it

[deft pewter]

just to make sure, is it the thing that made u skip the text right? i never played pokemon just saw videos

of it

[nimble fjord]

its like if the text's too long

[lucid sky]

is there any way to make the moon ingame beat like a heart

[nimble fjord]

then the whole block gets pushed down

[deft pewter]

oh wait

[nimble fjord]

nvm I think I came up with a genius strategy

[deft pewter]

you mean like closing the chat

alr gl

[nimble fjord]

Im gonna use scales instead of Offsets

[deft pewter]

bro was using offsets

[nimble fjord]

ts gonna be so fire 🔥

[deft pewter]

istg everytime i use offset i know i will crash out

i had to make an inventory system with offset

holy stress, had to literally make the resizing system too

[nimble fjord]

offsets are legit js pain

and i didnt use them till now

[deft pewter]

scales might have been easier atp😭

it isnt hard to convert pixels to scale

[nimble fjord]

anyway i think i got it figured out

it is 100% easy to learn the basics literally just pick up a book on the language then go through the book page by page. Try it yourself then get another book which is the next step up then read that and so on

people who disagree may have a more creative than a logical brain so it's 10x more difficult. People who are good at STEM subjects will be able to pick up coding easier than people who struggle at STEM

from what i know ni

no

fun fact: from what i know, you can do this in module scripts (to know if its server or client)

RunService:IsServer() and (CODE IF ITS SERVER) or (CODE IF ITS THE CLIENT)

i only use this for like printing, for example

local Prefix = RunService:IsServer() and "[S]" or "[C]"

function Warn(...)
    warn(`{Prefix} {...}`)
end

[zealous hollow]

fellas, how are you guys qualifying your module scripts?

Are you just directly going like

require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Scripts.Fighting.Damage.DamageCalculator)

hundreds of times throughout your codebase

or are you using some trick/strategy/module to handle this?

I wrote some hacky module that builds an in-memory map of module names to their instances so you can just

scriptCollection.findModuleScript("DamageCalculator")

but then intellisense breaks since the caller can only know that its a module script rather than a DamageCalculator

[frigid perch]

how quirky what is this?

[frigid perch]

Maybe using require by string to shorten the length of the requires

[static forum]

Yh

[fading bronze]

me personally i just call the folders and services

i find making a module for modules kinda funny

[zealous hollow]

bro you're gonna LOVE java then

[fading bronze]

sigh

[zealous hollow]

but yeah i'ts just if you're silly billy like me and accidentally write god classes you will end up with 50 bomboclaat lines of require()s

[fading bronze]

i make small games so i do not need one :)
i see why you would though
also how does it work??

[zealous hollow]

how does what work?

the registry?

[fading bronze]

i didnt know you could require a module from a module

[zealous hollow]

I was gonna straight up send you my registry script but apparently I can't do that here

anyway yeah you just require a module from a module

[fading bronze]

thats useful yet useless to know at the same time

[zealous hollow]

the key lore here is that when you first require a module it builds a singleton instance of that module, and in further requires, gets that singleton as a reference

so the first time you require, it runs the script like it was a local script or whatever, but just has public methods exposed via its table

no its actually really useful to know IMo you should know module lifecycles

[fading bronze]

Not really all that informed in backend scripting lol

[zealous hollow]

you may be thinking a bit too restrictively about modules until now 🙂 they are very powerful

IMO the ideal game has 1 local script for client shenanigans, 1 server script for the server, and then a ton of orchestrated modules for everything else

but i have OOP brain rot so do with that what you will

[frigid perch]

based

[fading bronze]

I use modules for everything but imo id say being able to require a module from a module is a pretty niche? scenario u would need (well not all that uncommon i can see some)

[harsh quiver]

that's just a way of architecturing

[deft coral]

No lol

SSA is not ideal

[harsh quiver]

it leads to better order, but it's not a definitive solution

when you reach to times where you have dynamic objects

created at runtime

such as tools

you'll either break into MSA or suffer under SSA

[zealous hollow]

ah i have summoned the wizards I see, where were y'all when I asked this , lol

what is MSA/SSA? sorry

[harsh quiver]

off chat

MSA = Multi-Script Architecture
SSA = Single-Script Architecture

[zealous hollow]

oh yeah makes sense

[harsh quiver]

although SSA can mean other things on other contexts, just serves this one

for the requires

[deft coral]

U can either use a module loader (dont) or a wrapper to simplify it

[harsh quiver]

on my old framework

I had an entire SSA loader

which grabbed all modules, and placed them under a list

then what you'd do was you had two ways

require directly or use a manager to get by string name

the latter only came to be

[zealous hollow]

... but the latter meant you had no intellisense, right?

[harsh quiver]

because I wanted to be able to move things

[zealous hollow]

yeah thats exactly wher I'm at lol

[harsh quiver]

I always created my type definitions manually, including a type module script

[fading bronze]

super star amulet from bss🙃

[harsh quiver]

and manually type defining it

youre really only going to get people who want to build a portfolio to work for free (aka beginner-intermediate). most 'experienced' developers won't work on games when there's only rev share / no gain

that's not to say there's none that will work on a game for just rev share, but the amount is a lot lower than i'm sure you'd like

[round panther]

you can help me?

[round panther]

I have same question

[weary socket]

You'd use MarketplaceService to detect when a dev product is made then show a gui to the user to get which player to target then apply the beneift to that player

However if the game shuts down in the middle of this process or even datastores fail u gotta add a safety net to prevent angry people reporting you

For that safety net I would record in your datastore taht they purchased the dev product and record that the benefit wasnt gifted. Once the benefit is gifted remove the 'not gifted' record from the datastore. If user logs in with a 'not gifted' record in the data store then you already know the gifting process failed last time and then you can retry gifting.

or use MemoryStoreService for the safety net which is even smarter.

[weary socket]

My response ^

[round panther]

hmm. could i make a shop so they can buy gifts and then when they purchase it they get in there inventory or something and then i will make a button for sending gift and player will chose player to be gifted and choose what to be gifted

I could have asked this to ai but the ai just agrees to me everytime

[weary socket]

This is a good approach cuz u wont need to make that 'safety net' thing, I see nothing wrong with this approach. Just always make sure that the gifting cancels as soon as the target leaves the game, cuz if they leave the game early it might not be a good idea to change their inventory in the data stores (cuz they can log into another server quick and dupe items)

Duping items is the real trick here which u will have to test for heavily

Cuz if they find it ur whole game economy is screwed

Maybe add a gifting cap per minute

[round panther]

I like the blox fruit type thing. you buy a gamepass which is actually a developer product and you store it into your inventory and can trade it

[weary socket]

Record which items were gifted so u can delete them if a dupe is found. Record the time which they were gifted so u can have a reasonable way to tell if they used a dupe

[weary socket]

Yep its a better way for sure

[round panther]

bro my game ain't that big that someone will dupe items lol

[weary socket]

I worked for a roleplay game before with an inv system and let me tell u, dupes and data store crashes are not hard for players to do.

Oh ok sure dont woryr about it then

probs the most annoying thing for you to do then is making the gifting UI TBH

[round panther]

Wait how will i give benifts of gasmepass to gifted player. Cuz in my code if a user have a gamepass in his current inventory.

[weary socket]

How do u check for gamepass, with the MarketPlace:HasGamePassid() thingy?

[round panther]

yes

[weary socket]

also gamepasses are not dev products in terms of coding, so be careful

dev products dont have a :HasDevProductId() method

[round panther]

if MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, PASS_ID) then

[weary socket]

You could have an array in the data store called "PassesUnlocked" that has the id of each game pass AND/OR dev product

careful cuz if they get gifted it, you have to stop them from buying the gamepass again

cuz otherwise ulll get spam messaged for refunds

people will inevitably misclick/forget

[round panther]

Bro I think I would have to burn my all codes and rewite it 😢

[weary socket]

Yeahhhhhh probably, thats coding alright xD

[round panther]

I think I should make gamepass also dev product

I will store if the user has bought it

[weary socket]

you should make it either game pass or dev, not both

[round panther]

dev is better i think cuz u can buy multple times and is suitable for gifting

[weary socket]

yep i would choose dev

[round panther]

I spent a full night to make the shop code. and now i am back to square 1

i mean not full night 2 hours maybe

[weary socket]

With dev products u need to implement a callback called ProcessReceipt, cuz this call back will be spammed for the same DEV product id (on purchase) until the callback returns 'yep, it processed'

If ye need help bug fixes I can always help

I've done this all before

[round panther]

wait if you have done this before can i cann get a head start by getting some code for free 👉 👈

[weary socket]

Also roblox expects you to store their UserId in the datastore as metadata, I think SetAsync has a way to set their user id associated with the record that they purchased the dev product

[weary socket]

sure

[weary socket]

except u cant just use it cuz its not custom to urs

[round panther]

i just need to see code i can customize it. I just need the logic

[weary socket]

Yeah ill probs just post it here

        end
    end
    
    PurchaseService.BuyDevProduct(plr, cat, optionIdx)
end)

This will probs confuse you more cuz it's custom code for a game I made

I never added trading cuz I had no need for it

Trading is like u said just a simple item transfer or soemthing,

[round panther]

ok lemme see the codes

[weary socket]

I posted two scripts

one is a module (PurchaseService)

DevProducts is the normal script

Need both for it to work

DataService is really just ProfileStore

Oh yeah i just realized the code for the dev products is not there

Oh wait it is

in DevProduct script

[round panther]

@weary socket Btw is making your own ingame curruncy good? Like I make lets say Gems my premium currency so player can buy gems with robux and everything is able to be bought by Gems. So I don't have to code so much. Is there any flaw in this idea?

[weary socket]

Maybe if people can somehow duplicate currency, but if you got good code, then nope! it's fine, lots of games do it, including mine (I just call it Fragments in the script)

Its actually smarter cuz u can make people buy bundles of higher currency to make more robux

so they kind always overpay a bit in theory

cuz they will usually have left over currency

[round panther]

And I would make it so the amount they can buy is either a bit small or a bit high to what they want to purchase. So they have to buy higher and i will make money from the kids hahaha

[round panther]

bro u read my mind?

[weary socket]

can anyone please give me some tips about scripting?

i wanna learn efficiently along the way

i just don't know where to start

[static forum]

Don’t learn it it’s not worth it

[gaunt atlas]

i'm asking for help not discouragement

[sonic mist]

just open studio and make stuff

like the best way to learn is to do

remake a mechanic from one of your favorite games for example

[gaunt atlas]

but then how would i know if it is efficient or not just by doing anything i can think of?

[gaunt atlas]

isn't going straight for complexity a bad idea?

[sonic mist]

saying that there is a efficient way of learning is saying that everyone learns the same, which isn't true

[sonic mist]

start out with simple stuff and just set a goal for something harder

[wind saddle]

not always, i learnt most from doing complex stuff

[gaunt atlas]

efficiency and uniformity are both different things, you're confusing it with that

[gaunt atlas]

yeah but not everyone learns the same

[wind saddle]

yeah i know, you just have to find your own way and expand from there

could go back to basics, pen and paper

im trying to optimise my game for console and for some reason when i press the share button (small left button opposite settings) on a ps5 controller, the virtual cursor automatically selects a button and when i try to move it, it just goes to the next button instead of letting me move the cursor freely on the controller, how do i make it so i can move it freely?

[serene cradle]

anyone got any idea on rootmotion support

wish roblox would get this fixed

[peak jolt]

it will be coming i estimate in like 2026-2028 but right now you have no choice but to delete the data from the animation and animate the root motion in your script

and yes it is really tedious especially when not all torso translation is actually root motion

[serene cradle]

Sigh

Useless updates lately but no good ones like these

[peak jolt]

cause roblox devs arent that interested

[karmic wadi]

if roblox actually removes R6 im quitting

[peak jolt]

they have been pushing stuff like new char controller, curve animations, animationconstraint, new animator methods, animation parameters, ... and people just arent using it and have no idea they exist or how to use it

[serene cradle]

Would be easier to get cutscenes done with it

[umbral path]

Anyone trying to sell robux for higher value dm me

[sonic mist]

i swear its like roblox is killing its own identity, do they really think we want those uncanny realistic avatars 😭

i dont see them removing r6

cause like there are games that depend on it

that would break soo many games

removing classic faces on the other hand, is easier for them, since not a lot of games depend on classic face being present in avatars

[errant elm]

There is a way to move the cursor via controller with roblox input APIs

So essentially mouse, but its bound to your right joystick and the A button.

Lets say I make a code the codes parent is called Button so it would be:
local Button = script.Parent
And I want another thing called Button can I call the same since the script is inside it’s own Button?
Or do Increase with 1 each time like
Button1
Button2
Button3

Im genuinely curious

I started scripting yesterday

[strong tide]

the variable will be changed if you do button continually

[harsh shadow]

Ah so the code won’t know which Button unless the variable is changed

guys i just finished brawldevs basic tutorial on scripting , everyoen is telling me to instead of watching his advanced one to just make stuff , what do you guys suggest me to make

[harsh shadow]

I started yesterday I’ve already learned 5-10 lines of code I would advise you to try ur self

You can watch but watching won’t make it stick in ur head

Try doing something out of what you learned so far

[slow crow]

i know i already finished it

i did all his learning objectives

[harsh shadow]

W

[slow crow]

i tried applying each thing to a script of mine and did my own thing

but im kinda confused where to go from here

[harsh shadow]

Same man rn I’m tryna watch another tutorial so I’m 100% sure

[slow crow]

which tutorial did u watch

first

[harsh shadow]

Yesterday I had ChatGPT explain

Which helped a lot

[slow crow]

is chatgpt good? ive been using brawldev

[harsh shadow]

Is brawldev an ai?

[slow crow]

his tuts are realy good but also super duper simple

[slow crow]

nah hes a youtuber lol

Is it on YouTube

yeah

[harsh shadow]

Ok perfect

I’ll search him up

Thanks man

he has 2 a basic and advanced

he explains very well but if u know the basics the first few videos would feel like a waste of time

but i suggest watching em anyway

[harsh shadow]

Yooo they are short aswell

[slow crow]

yeah theyre spaced out between 18 vids tho

if u used gpt to help u and didnt understand suggest u watch him

[covert hound]

Hey chat, I just have a question for anyone here. I recently finished learning how to script and I dont really know what to do next, Im not ready to make my own game because Im the most uncreative person ever so I rlly want to do commissions, but because I only know how to code, how would you guys recommend making a scripting portfolio? Would I just show off random stuff I script?

[maiden kiln]

recreate systems from popular games

for example i made a deepwoken inspired combat system with features from like for honor and made some money off of that

or you can contribute to some opensource stuff on github

[covert hound]

Thats not a bad idea 😮

[maiden kiln]

yeahhh'

[covert hound]

Should I maybe make a game where I put all my scripting stuff and have it all in one place?

[maiden kiln]

but also experiment yk? like make a game where you are using primarily meleehitboxes with spatial querys but then also make a game primarily based around moving hitboxes and experiment with raycasting

[maiden kiln]

yes

this will also help u with organization

like do you know how to organize your code

module loaders? yk

[covert hound]

Eh... Im still pretty basic when it comes to that part of it all

[maiden kiln]

its a big plus if you can make a really good combat system, but make it really easily customizable using module loaders

[maiden kiln]

well thats the fun

experience makes you better

[maiden kiln]

also module loaders make it so that if you want to make a game in the future you can easily recycle it

[covert hound]

OH

I think I get that now

[maiden kiln]

yeeee

if u ever need help with that u can dm me

ive made a lot before

ive been using it with no problems

do u use ProfileStore and DataDelve? DataDelve to see and delte corrupted data and profilestore to save?

[regal salmon]

i use datadelve more to edit data for testing purposes, but yes

my data doesnt often get corrupted

[vernal peak]

im lost on the profiles. Do i use profiles as a newDataStore or is it all the dataStores in the game?

[regal salmon]

profilestore has its own datastore it uses to store data

i forget what its called

but it can be edited in datadelve

[tough belfry]

Could anyone explain this in their terms : MasterSword.__index = MasterSword

[weary socket]

Set's the table's index key to the same table. Purpose: It can be used as a metatable, most commonly used to extract functions from the table and allow it to be used on any table that uses it as a metatable

[tough belfry]

Ok so i have to use it with lets say setmetatable (basicSword , MasterSword)

[weary socket]

It explains to the Lua interpretor that key value pairs that are not in the original table can be looked for in the MasterSword table

[tough belfry]

ok so it eliminates the chances to get nil

if u dont have a object in ur table

i ll try to practice it thanks

[weary socket]

not 100%. MasterSword may not have every key that will be indexed, ie basicSword[someKeyhere]

basicSword[someKeyhere] can still return nil

theres a way to explain thats really good hold up ill try

[tough belfry]

oh i get it , but it helps since it looks into MasterSword just incase that exist

i m 30 minutes in trying to learn OOP so its gonna be a challenge lol

[strong tide]

why is it so hard to apply what I've learned when trying to make a game

[weary socket]

local basicSword = {}
local MasterSword = { lol = "XD" }
MasterSword.__index = MasterSword 

setmetatable(basicSword, MasterSword)

local someKey = "lol"

basicSword[someKey] -- gives XD
--because: basicSword[someKey] is the same as the following:

local value = basicSword[someKey]

if not value then
  value = getmetatable(basicSword).__index[someKey]

end

Look at the last 3 lines of code

There u go

exactly what happens

[tough belfry]

thanks a ton

[strong tide]

this a me-problem?

[weary socket]

__index is extracted from the metatable and used to index essentially 🙂

except __index can be a function, and in that case, __index(mytable, mykey) would be called

[tough belfry]

i see and that avoids having to rewrite 1000 lines of code for every new thing i add i just check the master sword for the same key

very efficient thanks

[weary socket]

metatables just add extra instructions, and if u can visualize those instructions, its the easiest thing ever

[slender yew]

was this scripted?

[strong tide]

i don't understand __index in terms of OOP

[weary socket]

its the closest thing to "OOP". Also, Lua OOP can never be the same as Java OOP or C++ OOP, Lua is limited

in a sense

is that what u meant

or you mean how does __index even mimick OOP?

[strong tide]

ye

[weary socket]

isnt that ur own project that you are making?

[slender yew]

uhhhhhhh no

Maybe its urs

[opal pecan]

yes

MasterSword.__index = MasterSword 

function MasterSword.Slash(self)
  print("Slash")
end

[opal pecan]

it's pretty simple tweening

[slender yew]

oh okay good to know

how simple

[weary socket]

Oh you share a username with some other Natheus guy. My bad.

[slender yew]

like would I need to include an entire content directory too

[slender yew]

Damn, what a coincidence

[weary socket]

Why are you so defensive?

[slender yew]

thank god we’re not the same person

[slender yew]

[opal pecan]

what do you mean by content directory?

[strong tide]

is that inheritance 🤷‍♂️

[weary socket]

Ah, I see. That explains.

[weary socket]

yeah

[slender yew]

ask the next guy

[opal pecan]

ok whoever writes next gotta answer

[weary socket]

I mean it likely clones a map locally somewhre and sets your position there

[slender yew]

alright bud your time is up

[weary socket]

camera wise

[slender yew]

anwser me and @opal pecan now

[weary socket]

The white flash gives it away

[opal pecan]

yeah should be right

[weary socket]

The other possibility is the whole map is placed in a viewport frame that covers the screen, but viewport frames dont render sky so idk why it would be that, they would need a workaround

[opal pecan]

nah that would be too complex for something so simple. And I dont think screen guis work inside of viewports

[slender yew]

What are we figuring out guys

[weary socket]

yeah its overkill so it shuldnt be that, ur right. just a locally cloned map

[weary socket]

oh surface gui in a viewport, trtue

[slender yew]

1 hour of coding a reusable plug and play modular system or 15 hours of tweening camera cframe

[weary socket]

u right

[slender yew]

which one scripter boy?

[weary socket]

0-0

[slender yew]

-.-

u real asf for that bro

[weary socket]

u replied to urself

[slender yew]

u should whip this one next ._.

[slender yew]

Plenty of times matter a fact

[weary socket]

Bro I am not sure if you're here to ask Roblox related questions or stir up emotions

[slender yew]

good observation

god forbid darian madrix’s emotions get stirred up

good night

[opal pecan]

gn

sleep well

[echo belfry]

how do u guys learn to implement math into ur code to make better movement or maybe add swinging in ur game, I honestly don’t get it

[somber vault]

Take a math class

Take a lua class

Implement learning

[echo belfry]

teacher sucks unfortunately

[somber vault]

Udemy

[lost pebble]

Linear algebra and vector math is probably the most helpful

[remote bear]

8 thousand lines

[quaint thunder]

wip

[lean canopy]

is 60k enough for a realisitic bike driving system thats physics heavy

[remote bear]

60k lines? that seems like it uses alot of redundant code

oh nwm you mean robux

[lean canopy]

i meant robux lol

[remote bear]

yeah i would say 60k is resonable if its proformance friendly, expandible and well put together

but its a hard maybe since i dont know how good it is

[fast bronze]

guys just instead make a game

trust

[somber vault]

Could anyone give me Robux to advertise my game or give me tips of how to without Robux please and thank you

[fickle python]

hopefully i never have to touch this combat system again holy shit

[cunning ivy]

anyone made first person?

[floral quarry]

Just a question (if it’s even possible to do efficiently) can there be a system where you can take a photo of your avatar in game WITH the surrounding maps, and be able to save that photo in game so you can look at it and keep a collection of photos?

In other words, collecting photos of yourself in game and keeping them to look at

[thorny trench]

interface system?

[frail yarrow]

Why are we in VS

[thorny trench]

https://tenor.com/view/red-red-emoji-angry-emoji-raised-fist-fist-gif-4695612956741787895

[regal salmon]

you can use the captureservice i think
or if you want to do it manually then put the whole world in a viewportframe and position your character and camera..not very optimized tho

[bleak glade]

i like how the NPC neck and only the neck moves

[remote bear]

i would not make an 8 thousand line list in luau

[echo belfry]

how do u track when it’s cautious?

oh is it when they touch the yellow lines

[cobalt yoke]

chat should i feel guilty for copying the toolbox scripts?

[echo belfry]

wym copying

toolbox scripts suck u shouldn’t

[cobalt yoke]

i want to copy this

but i dont wanna feel guilty

like practically steal it

[echo belfry]

u can use it as inspiration just don’t copy it all exactly

u won’t learn like that

[cobalt yoke]

thanks my consicious is clean 😭

[echo belfry]

it’s better to just use documentation to work on ur problem solving from my experience

[quaint thunder]

thanks🙏🏾

[quaint thunder]

when a player equips a tool

[echo belfry]

oh im stupid then

[quaint thunder]

nahh

[thorny trench]

holy nest maxxing

wtf

[cobalt yoke]

next maxinbg???

never heard the term?

[thorny trench]

nest maxxing

nesting maxxing

ya hurd

[obtuse nimbus]

unironically using 'maxxing' will always be funny to me

[gentle shoal]

this is somebody else's work NOT mine. im a beginner scripter and i would like to know if this is complicated or how long it would take to learn just out of curiousity because idk at all what they're saying lol. i don't have image perms so this is the code from the image:
updateTools()
trove:Add(playerData:GetKeyChangedSignal("EquippedTool" .. 1))
trove:Add(playerData:GetKeyChangedSignal("EquippedTool" .. 2))
trove:Add(ReplicatedStorage.GameConfiguration:GetAttrubuteChangedSignal [IMAGE CUTS OFF]
once again this is NOT my work

[fickle flame]

hey is that your work

[gentle shoal]

yeah

[regal salmon]

whyd you write this bro

[gentle shoal]

because no image perms

[regal salmon]

not what i meant smh my head

[gentle shoal]

because im just curious

i really dont know much about scripting

other than what a variable is 😭

[regal salmon]

wouldnt worry too much about that for now, focus on the basics

that uses mostly third party modules

you can find the documentation for them easily

but a lot of it will be explained the more you learn the fundamentals

[gentle shoal]

ok thanks

[regal salmon]

e.g. Trove: https://sleitnick.github.io/RbxUtil/api/Trove/

just from that small snippet its hard to tell exactly what its meant to be doing

top function is a custom function, bottom one is cut off

[gentle shoal]

yeah someone called him a genius so i was just curious if it was brilliant or the other guy is just beginner lol

[thorny trench]

✌️

[cobalt yoke]

is there a btter way to do this?

its hard on the eyes 😭

[thorny trench]

I mean u could turn it onto a single line or just check if the dir value is pos/negative and return the same state for offset if it is constantly 6/-6

[fickle flame]

I wouldn't put that in a single line with ifs or ands for assignment

unless you want to make your code less readable

[thorny trench]

ya ik lol

just lazy maxxing

[autumn hull]

if math.abs(Direction) >= 0.5 then
  Offset = math.sign(Direction) * 6
end;

[thorny trench]

ye what I was boutta say frl

[thorny trench]

He says in the code discussion channel

💀✌️

[echo belfry]

local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

local connection = nil
local ServiceRun = game:GetService("RunService")



local function CameraBop()
    local Y = math.sin(tick() * 20) * 5
    local base = cam.CFrame
    cam.CFrame = base * CFrame.new(0,Y,0)
    print("working")
end

humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
    if speed > 0 then
        if connection then return end
        connection = ServiceRun.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
            local Y = math.sin(tick() * 7) * 0.2
            local base = cam.CFrame
            cam.CFrame = base * CFrame.new(0,Y,0)
            print("working")
            
        end)
    else
        if connection then 
            connection:Disconnect()
            connection = nil
        end
        
        
    end
    
end)
``` is there a smoother method for camera bopping? ts is so ass bro 😭 the camera moves up automatically in a weird way and goes back to the middle position immediately when connection is disconnected

seems to only look good in first person

[deft coral]

spring math

ask chatgpt, deadass

or claude

just go "how do i turn this into spring math and what is springs in interpolation methods"

the tldr is it interpolates but uses the current state's momentum to simulate a more realistic physical reaction, like dampening

also i wouldnt do ur code like this, id do both x and y, and i wouldnt tie the connection inside an event

[echo belfry]

i wouldnt be learning much if i did 💔

ill check it out though

[deft coral]

wdym

[echo belfry]

everytime i use chatgpt it just feels like cheating, i prefer to try and problem solve without it

[deft coral]

using AI to come up with ideas and solve them atrophies your brain (literally, studies show it)

using AI to help you understand something has been shown to increase brain activity than if you were not using it

so just ask it "do not code it for me, tell me about spring math and force me to work through it":

[echo belfry]

ohh alright i understand

[autumn hull]

be aware of it writing some nonsense

[deft coral]

that too

[autumn hull]

turn on search feature

[tribal mango]

I had to have Gemini help me with the derivative of Ax^2 the other day

😂 😂 😂

[fleet silo]

I sometimes forget how to take a derivative

[lean canopy]

Physic developers

[astral swift]

i can help

[shy cipher]

I think this works

[flat stream]

looks gay

[shy cipher]

I learned ternary logic from parkour legacy's source code

doesn't work on me

[slender yew]

thank you fellow

[woeful marlin]

conclusion :

• make game like knockout but it does have more minigames such as goat rage, invisible, slippery floor, random power, etc
• make saveprofile for each player
• inventory for skin/item
• shop for buying item/skin
  200$ for this is good price?

[pliant flare]

Use it to understand

Even just copying it will let your brain recognize patterns letting you understand better next time you have a similar problem

[magic skiff]

who can build a bot for me ill pay well

[astral shale]

how to make two proximitys appear at thte same time

[tidal bolt]

double ternary on a line is nightmare fuel but it's probably one of the less shit options

[alpine blaze]

Lowkey is recreating gang beasts possible

[hollow turtle]

im pretty sure theres already a game like that on roblox

[prisma aspen]

depeds on what "direction" and offset is but u could do
offset = (direction >= 0.5 and 6) or (direction <= 0.5 and -6)

[tidal heron]

you dont need a if-statment?

[prisma aspen]

not really

[tidal heron]

interesting

[prisma aspen]

the first () says if direction is >= 0.5 then offset is 6, if it isnt then offset is nil, then theres the or, and if the first value is nil it does the second check

[tidal heron]

hmm

[hot hatch]

Are the 13 year olds onto something or just spitting shit?!

[dusky relic]

yes

spitting shit

[floral quarry]

Saying shit or spitting shit 🤔
