Local part = workspace.part

Part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
do wtv here
end)

[dense drift]

so at the local Part, i named the part sssPart, the name wont affect it aslong as i reference it, right?

[ripe hinge]

Yes just do local part = workspace.sssPart

[dense drift]

local Part = game.Workspace.sssPart

i thought game.Workspace was the proper order

[ripe hinge]

You could just workspace you don’t need game

It’s an exception

[spiral flax]

Procedural multi-directional movement

[ripe hinge]

Holy

[dense drift]

looks like that one clanker from wall-e

the bestfriend with that wall-e clanker

still looks cool

[ripe hinge]

You able to do it?

[dense drift]

is this right?, local Part = Workspace.sssPart

Part.ClickDetector.Mouseclick:(function()
local clone = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
clone.Position = Vector3.new(6, 15, 0)
print("Cloned this part")
end)

print was just extra

[ripe hinge]

You forgot to connect function

[dense drift]

wait theirs a errror

[ripe hinge]

Yea

[dense drift]

part?

[ripe hinge]

What’s the error say

[dense drift]

ServerScriptService.Script:3: Expected identifier when parsing method name, got '('

[ripe hinge]

:

[regal salmon]

• it's MouseClick, not Mouseclick
• you forgot to add Connect after your colon
• not detrimental, but setting the parent in Instance.new is deprecated, you should set it with clone.Parent = workspace

[dense drift]

how do i set the parent

[ripe hinge]

clone.Parent

[regal salmon]

it's in the message

[formal acorn]

son learn the basics first

[tiny gazelle]

Be my scripter please your an expert 🙏

[formal acorn]

before trying to script

trust

[ripe hinge]

I succkk

[dense drift]

called learning labrobro

[formal acorn]

if you need scri*ters im here 🤑

[formal acorn]

yea but first he needa know the basics

[ripe hinge]

Why’d you tag it out

[formal acorn]

cuz its tagged as auto deletion

[ripe hinge]

They got a buncha fundamentals down. Just minor fixes

[tiny gazelle]

I do need but for % of my game , spending 20k robux on it tho like on add credits since ik it will hit

[uncut dawn]

what you need to script

[dense drift]

wait where do i put the clone.parent

[tiny gazelle]

you dont 😭

[ripe hinge]

clone.parent = workspace or smth

[dense drift]

couldent be where local clone is, right?

[formal acorn]

hmm

whats the game idea

[tiny gazelle]

I need to make a map where you chop trees and if you agree I can tell the idea

[tiny gazelle]

Dms

[ripe hinge]

You could. Depends on what you want the clone to do

[regal salmon]

right after you make the new instance is fine since youre already setting it immediately

[ripe hinge]

[dense drift]

this is the first one that looks rightlocal Part = Workspace.sssPart
clone.parent = Workspace.sssPart

Part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(Part)
local clone = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
clone.Position = Vector3.new(6, 15, 0)
print("Cloned this part")
end)

[formal acorn]

said by who

[regal salmon]

the rules

[ripe hinge]

You don’t really need to pass part in the function

[dense drift]

what ur telling me what to do, local Part = Workspace.sssPart

Part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(Part)
local clone = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
clone.parent = Workspace.sssPart
clone.Position = Vector3.new(6, 15, 0)
print("Cloned this part")
end)

[ripe hinge]

Nooo

[dense drift]

yah lowkey dosnt look right

[ripe hinge]

Workspace.sssPart?

[ripe hinge]

You wanna make the clones child of the sssPart

[dense drift]

sry still trying to referenct the actual parts name

[ripe hinge]

Might’ve been an overreaction

[regal salmon]

• parent should have a capital P
• workspace should be lowercase
• you're passing "Part" into your function, when it actually passes a player. it'll still pass a player, but the name will confuse you

you dont need to pass anything in this case though since you never use it

[ripe hinge]

I forgot it passed the player- Woops

They aren’t doing anything with it so it’s fine

[regal salmon]

also, didnt see, but you should remove the workspace argument in Instance.new

[dense drift]

so just ("Part")

[regal salmon]

yup

[dense drift]

k

says this now

[plush zenith]

is there a way to avoid recursive module references?

[dense drift]

ServerScriptService.Script:2: attempt to index nil with 'Parent'

[granite igloo]

use a shared module to hold data

[ripe hinge]

Send the script

[dense drift]

also think i fixed capitilization

[dense drift]

local Part = Workspace.Part
clone.Parent = workspace.Part

Part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
local clone = Instance.new("Part")
clone.Position = Vector3.new(6, 15, 0)
print("Cloned this part")
end)

[regal salmon]

why did you move the parent set outside the event?

[ripe hinge]

clone hasn’t existed yet

set the clone’s parent after you created it btw

[regal salmon]

^

[uncut dawn]

you should watch youtube tutorials for scripting

[hard garden]

hi chat

[dense drift]

been watching devking

[hard garden]

does anyone use rojo here

[ripe hinge]

Brawl dev is good

[dense drift]

on episod 16 rn but stopped to create shi

[uncut dawn]

watch brawlDev dev king is old

[regal salmon]

i doubt theres a significant enough difference for it to matter

[dense drift]

watched him tell 13 but he overcomplicates, ill go back when im finished devking beginner

[regal salmon]

theyre both gonna be using outdated code anyway

[plush zenith]

yes i figured that, but i can't figure out to do that exactly

idk why

[granite igloo]

tell me what ur doing

[ripe hinge]

Aren’t brawl Dev’s tutorials new

[hard garden]

does anyone know how to port rbxm to rojo projects

[granite igloo]

like which modules require each other

recursively

[plush zenith]

mhm sure

[dense drift]

2yrs ago

[plush zenith]

could we go to dms so our messages don't get missed btw?

[dense drift]

atleast the beginner

[granite igloo]

ye sure

[ripe hinge]

Man it’s been that long

[regal salmon]

yeah, but theres still quite a bit thats changed since those

[hard garden]

i wanna use an open sourced framework but they only uploaded it to roblox

[regal salmon]

you should use brawldev's for more updated information, but if you find devking easier to understand, i dont see why you should switch

[dense drift]

forgot to add a clickdetector and added one, but when i click it, this pops up

ServerScriptService.Script:4: attempt to index nil with 'Parent'

[ripe hinge]

Ngl how I learned to code 40% from free models, 30% from brawl dev, 10% from friends, and 20% from dev forum

[ripe hinge]

Send the script

[dense drift]

reverse engineering?

thats a thing right

[dense drift]

local Part = Workspace.Part

Part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
clone.Parent = workspace.Part
local clone = Instance.new("Part")
clone.Position = Vector3.new(6, 15, 0)
print("Cloned this part")
end)

[regal salmon]

you need to set the parent after creating the clone

[ripe hinge]

Ye

[regal salmon]

clone doesnt exist before its declared

[ripe hinge]

You set the parent before the part even exists

[ripe hinge]

More of like I copy and pasted existing code, like a teleport script, and eventually copy and pasted so much I learned how to move the player’s model.

Stuff like that

[dense drift]

i tried doing that with a telaporter but still didnt learn anything

YESSSSSSSSSS

[ripe hinge]

I made a buncha free model games when I was still learning

But polished it like it wasn’t a free model game (still was pretty apparent since things didn’t even blend with each other)

One of them was a obby game which had a buncha teleporters

[ripe hinge]

You got it to work?

[ripe hinge]

I must’ve made like 30 of them

[dense drift]

i made a free model game like a month ago, theirs nothing to do except drive around a house

[ripe hinge]

Thing is you might be missing the polish aspect.

Since I still tried to understand what the code was doing at least to try to make it seem like it wasn’t a free model game.

[dense drift]

the game or my script?

assuming the game i still didnt know jack

[ripe hinge]

The game I made like 2 yrs ago

Anyways my best advice is to just continue making. Start small then build off of it.

[dense drift]

ight thanks, you lowk helped me learn and the other green pfp dude, im prob watch like 2 more devking tuts and hop on da blox

[ripe hinge]

Aight no problem

DMs always open if you ever need help again

[dense drift]

ok ima msg js for future

[spiral flax]

setfenv(1, Service:GetEnvVars(getfenv(1)))```

never realized how goated

local Service = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Shared.Service)
:SetupClientVars()
:LoadModules({
    {path="shared/Modules/Math/ProceduralAnimator", as="Animator"};
    {path="shared/Modules/Math/Wobble", as="Wobble"};
    {path="shared/Modules/Tools/Input", as="Input"};
    {path="shared/Modules/Tools/Iris", as="Iris", initCall=".Init"};
})
:SetEnvVars()

print(Wobble)```

grouped modules but i can still call it without indexing

[hasty mesa]

this dosn't work with the type checker and also caises luau to deoptimize

[spiral flax]

screw the type checker but why does it deoptimize?

[hasty mesa]

because modifying the env makes it unsafe

for roblox to do optimzations

and unpredictable

to what you will do

[spiral flax]

ok so the functions affected with setfenv or getfenv aren't inlined

thats stupid

[hollow hemlock]

how so

it breaks certain guarantees

[spiral flax]

yeah well i wanna do what im doing without it having a performance cost 🤣

[peak jolt]

this may be completely removed from luau at some point

[formal acorn]

what are your thoughts, how much should i take for that

[sullen nimbus]

1 tobux

150k

[formal acorn]

what

ts way too much

[sullen nimbus]

depends on the quality of your work

and the client

this is a whole game

[fallen latch]

10 bobux

lowkey just look at the budget of the user

but 150k would be good lowkey

plus ur skill and experience also adds to the amount of cash

[regal salmon]

not really

i got a similar amount for finishing a game, not even doing the whole game lol

[edgy falcon]

hey guys im looking to get some feedback from you, how much would you realisticly charge for game like this to be recreated 1:1?

Quick breakdown:

-# - Cases:
-# - - Opening cases, pretty much a simple system, different rarities and items you can get from different "case" entities, all customizable, case opening sequence and results, allowing you to open it again if you got enough currency, or go back (You can open up to 5 cases at a time)

-# - Case Battles:
-# - - Basically the same thing but each contestant thats inside of a created battle gets one case, up to 5 players at a time, and whoever gets the most out of it in "Cash" gets everyones drop. (Skins)

-# - Trading:
-# - - Simple skin exchange with other people no requirements.

-# - Rewards:
-# - - Hourly rewards granted to you as free cases, or currency.

-# - Stats:
-# - - Basic stats showing basically your whole story inside of the game with how much cases have you opened, how much you spent, won, time spent inside of the game, etc.

-# - Settings:
-# - - Customizable settings per user to mute sounds, shadows, and stuff like that.

-# - Leaderboards:
-# - - Shows top players in different categories such as opened cases, top earned, top sold or something like that

-# - - At this moment we have the whole ui done with animations so theres no need to script anything like that, just the core systems

-# - - Not sure if i explained everything correctly but how much do you guys think such game would cost realisticly?

im looking to get a quick rough estimate if possible so i know how much can i realisticly pay someone to not overpay thanks again

[static coral]

40-70k

[edgy falcon]

i meant in usd if possible

[static coral]

oh

just convert that with devex rate

[edgy falcon]

well would come up to 250$ i believe

my guy wants 400$ at the moment so im not really sure

[steel vessel]

Lol

$250 bucks for a full game

If u pay someone $250 for this you’ll have a very ass game

Im surprised people do it for $400

[edgy falcon]

thats what i was thinking too

i mean 400$ isnt that bad, how much would you do it for then?

[steel vessel]

Do u have a code reviewer in your team

[edgy falcon]

yeah.. me 😭

[steel vessel]

I dont code full games, i charge by the hour

Which comes out to 60-70 usd an hour avg

Effective work, not your 9-5 mentality

[edgy falcon]

skull_eyebrowraise

[steel vessel]

People who need urgent, solid work come to me

So i can charge for it

[edgy falcon]

i believe thats too expensive for most of the roblox small time creators

but people dont pay for work in your case they pay for reliability and speed so yeah good for you

[steel vessel]

Ye i totally get that ofc. But i charge that when you need me for the whole night

[steel vessel]

Yea

But for ur game

[edgy falcon]

yeah that makes sense lol i mean me my self i used to charge by the project now since i have barely any time i charge much more and still get the same amout of clients

[steel vessel]

A good engineer would want at least >$1k

[edgy falcon]

nah im just a project manager we are trying to be budget friendly

but thanks honestly

[steel vessel]

If ure a programmer and the $400 feels fine

Then go for that

[static coral]

500+ for that is crazy

[steel vessel]

If ur game gets popular you really dont want ass code as you cant keep up the momentum for updates

[static coral]

unless u got some divine intellect

[edgy falcon]

i thought like 250 bucks would get us such game honestly, there are some programmers which could be up for that but the prices vary so much tbh

[steel vessel]

Your average graduate computer scientist earns $120k+ as a base salary

Thus thats what they charge as

[edgy falcon]

yeah but this is roblox you know right

[static coral]

yeah but this is roblox

[edgy falcon]

most of "game creators" here at hiddendevs dont really have spare 120k fr

[steel vessel]

And the top devs earn hundreds of millions

[static coral]

keyword top

[edgy falcon]

they are lookin to get some good but also budget work get done

[steel vessel]

Yea, my point stands

The top charges for top work

[static coral]

not every person and their mother is roblox multi millionare

[steel vessel]

And the top pays

[patent gorge]

looking for testers willing to pay 50 robux DM me

[steel vessel]

This is a medium charge too

If you run 150k in revenue you made back your dev

And this is easy af

[edgy falcon]

i mean i used to charge low since i was still in high school and i mean thats honestly not bad for being a roblox programmer but now ever since i barely have any time i charge way more but i also try to make up for it lol

but at the other hand when hiring someone i expect it to be as cheap as possible 😭

this is hard

[steel vessel]

i understand lol

Go for the $400 if he actually does the job

[edgy falcon]

well it also depends where are you from though, 250$ for some people is alot of money, for some its barely enough to get through the week lmao

[edgy falcon]

yeah i guess we will 😭

why would u need multiple

im struggling to make everythin work in 1

so im thinking its easier if i just split them up

okay

[tough vapor]

You made no money cuz you dont have dev products 😭

[tropic veldt]

Yea lol but idk what to add

[tough vapor]

What your game about

[tropic veldt]

Its like you have to climb a tower and theres a worm trying to kill u

[tough vapor]

oh the worm tower type games?

[tropic veldt]

yea

[tough vapor]

just add the same type of dev products in the other games if you really dont know what to add

trust bro that will get you money

Like if a player die make a button go on screen for 19R$ where they respawn where they dies with their brainrot

That alone could get you more money cuz most can afford

okay thanks

[scenic lichen]

did you spend all your money on thumbnails and nothing on the gui 😭

okay well ur thumbnail game is strong but ur guis are kinda ehh

set the anchor point for all these buttons to 0.5 , 0.5

did you mean organs bro 😭

you should probably fix that cause i dont think that words allowed on roblox

[heady spire]

if i was to make a laser beam typa ability that follows the players mouse how would i go about getting the mouse position on the server constantly
currently my script just fires the mouse once to the server after a key is pressed that corresponds to an ability, how can i change the input of the framework (if i should) to be able to apply it to an ability like a beam that tracks

[karmic nest]

A client wanted me to make a wizard game where the player runs in a 2D platform straight away from the wizard (enemy player) and the wizard can select hexagons as pieces if the terrain, either to obliterate or make it lava. Once u are finished you gamble with boxes that cost 200 wizards. To get skins or ablities. So heres how Id do this. the wizard game should be easy in my opinion technically I would just put hexagons in folder make a UI for the mobile players and PC players using offset then if ui/button is pressed then selected area becomes lava/gone based on wht the wizard wants. Then if player passes give them 200 credits and then if the player has 200 credits they can gamble depending on what variable they roll its added to the stats so if they get speed 2 16 + 2 = 18 walkspeed. Etc etc. And I also use gambling system and evenly split chances for someone to be the wizard, the last wizard CANT be a wizard so if theres 5 players but one of them was the last rounds wizard then its 25 25 25 25 instead of 20 20 20 20 20. Make sense guys?

[carmine yacht]

remote

[heady spire]

wdym

[carmine yacht]

the way to get the mouse position on the server is to fire it from the client to the server

as for the beam

do all players need to see it

[heady spire]

yes i have that working rn anyway idk how to get it to constantly send tho for like a holdable aimable laser beam typa ability

[carmine yacht]

loop

[heady spire]

well probably but the server would need it for the hitbox

[carmine yacht]

why can you not just calculate it based off of where the beam lands

or the beams trajectory with a raycast

[bright siren]

remote function

invoke the client for the mouse pos

use unreliable remote events too

[heady spire]

mmmm

[carmine yacht]

bro

[bright siren]

because its a constant beam kind of move

[heady spire]

i forgot about those

[carmine yacht]

are u ragebaiting

definently do not use a remotefunction with invokeclient

how come

[bright siren]

js use unreliable remote event

[carmine yacht]

invokeclient requires a response from the client

if someone is exploiting they can just never return a response

causing the server to hang

[heady spire]

i see

[carmine yacht]

and overtime that builds up and can crash a server

so yea

unrealiableremoteevent is a good option

but you just have to ensure that there is an order

otherwise your beam will bounce around between the positions instead of actually following the mouse

[carmine yacht]

this is probably the most difficult part of using them

[heady spire]

i see i think i get it

ill jus try something im kinda new to scripting so im just experimenting on tryna make stuff as robust as possible

[carmine yacht]

this is a good project for that then

simple idea as well

but you can learn about optimization and replication

[tawny seal]

hi can anyone help me with something

[neat siren]

gimme packages ideas to make

[tawny seal]

can someone help me with some code please

[carmine yacht]

Why dont you post the question with the code that way whoever sees your messages will just reply

[tawny seal]

i dont have image perms

[carmine yacht]

print("Code here!")

[tawny seal]

oh thank you

how does the function know what 'otherPart' is defined as?

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
  local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherPart.Parent)

[carmine yacht]

It's the BasePart that makes contact with the script's parent (so the part that the script is under)

But for example if I have let's say a wall and I walk into it with my character, it's safe to say that most if not all of the parts in the character (hat handles, legs, arms, etc) will be passed as otherPart one by one

[tawny seal]

and, does it have to be called 'otherPart'? Or can it be named something else? I've also seen 'hit' being used

[carmine yacht]

Can name it whatever you want as long as it fits in the naming rules for variables

[tawny seal]

so, everything i put in the parameters of 'function(...)' has to go according to certain naming rules?

are there like certain words that have certain functions

i've also seen onTouch

[carmine yacht]

Essentially yes

[blissful turtle]

is that why???

[carmine yacht]

I.e the variable cannot be named 0Part, cannot be named touch part, cannot be named .part, etc.

[keen sedge]

looking for a scripter - add me pvp game for dc superheros each character finished = 10k robux

[carmine yacht]

And preferrably not named anything like type, script, etc. all the reserved keywords

[tawny seal]

is there some kind of documentation on each of these words we can use?

[carmine yacht]

https://roblox.github.io/lua-style-guide/#naming
https://create.roblox.com/docs/luau/variables

[tawny seal]

scripting turns out to be harder than i thought 💔

btw, are there any like courses i can take that give me exercises or teach me LUA

[neat siren]

the docs

[hot copper]

no

[hot copper]

Official roblox docs is the way to learn the API

[stone vapor]

is it ok to use nested loops for my invetory system to see which slots are avaible?

[hot copper]

send the code

[stone vapor]

havent made one yet

but basically client send a remote function ,server return table of player invetory and player loops throught it

[hot copper]

Loops to get the smallest available index?

U could just do #inventoryTable + 1

[stone vapor]

wym

[hot copper]

U want to find all the available slots?

then yea u gotta use a for loop

[stone vapor]

il show u ui structure

[hot copper]

Okay but thats not the thing

thing is how does is the inventory table structured

[stone vapor]

its a dictionary with the key being Item and inside other table with name and description

[opaque thistle]

iv been facing a problem where my ragdolls have crazy latency ( when enabled on the server-side ) i tried making them client sided and this happened. how can i fix this :p

[hot copper]

show rhe UU

[stone vapor]

i sent it on dms bc doesnt let me send pics here

[carmine yacht]

some people learn better from videos

obviously docs are way better

[ashen valve]

hihi is there anyway to "Remove" a player data

[forest bear]

how do you make purchase processing screens or whatever its called, like e.g. you buy a dev proudct and in the background a ui appears saying like processing or whatever

[lusty blaze]

any1 wanna satrt a dev group 4 fun

[fluid glade]

im down

[old forum]

hi

[hard garden]

everyone has their own way of learning

[hot copper]

no

its objectively better

[hard garden]

hmm

[hot copper]

I mean no one knows at the start that reading the docs is better

I dont blame anyone i started with yt tuts too

[hard garden]

same

[hot copper]

But i would have learnt much better

if i started by reading the docs

[hard garden]

sometimes

its just hard to understand what does this or that mean even though you already searched it on docs

that's the issue with me

so i find it easy if i had to search it on yt or simply ask chat gpt

[hard garden]

before i guess

[scenic lichen]

how do games like steal a brainrot and grow a garden handle mutations from events? Do they run a random roll every couple of seconds for all mutatable instances for the duration of the event? or do they roll once at the start of the event and then just delay the mutation to make it seem like the timer matters?

[solid rain]

does anyone know how to make terrain dissappear with streamingenabled?

[fluid glade]

sure

i can teach u couple of things

[solid rain]

follow nice tutorials like brawl dev if ur looking to script roblox lua

and u can ask questions in private for help

to me aswell

if it is lua

[prime flax]

does anybody have an idea of what I should script for the LuaU application

i dont have any ideas for a 200 line single script

[hoary cedar]

It's Luau, lol

[prime flax]

?

[hoary cedar]

The language is called Luau, not LuaU

Pronounced "loo-ow"

[prime flax]

ok?

[hoary cedar]

Anyways, take a look at my GitHub in my bio. I upload random scripts that are around that line count

[hoary cedar]

Hey man, if you're tryna earn a role that signifies experience in the language, knowing its proper name is a start 😂

[dense drift]

im following a devking tut for leaderstats and it says the script i made dosnt work since players is not a valid member of fatamodel for the game, can any1 help

[prime flax]

a lowercase u thank you for the laughs

[vernal peak]

What are the modules that are init last called? Are they core modules or dependencies

A

[scenic lichen]

what could you have possibly named fatamodel 😭

[hoary cedar]

They have no name

[dense drift]

meant datamodel

[hoary cedar]

If a module is required, it is a dependency

[scenic lichen]

it means players doesnt exist as a child of datamodel

send the script

[dense drift]

game.Players.PlayersAdded:Connect(function(player)

local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

local Points = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
Points.Name = "Points"

end)

[vernal peak]

Bro cuz I got my weapon manger and input manager last init so all controllers can connect to them before they fire, but idk what to do with my plr state module. I have it init first bc controllers need that to be done in order to work but I don’t want to call it A controller and I can’t call it a manager since it’s init first

[scenic lichen]

its PlayerAdded not Players

remove that s boii

[dense drift]

ur a unknown hero

[scenic lichen]

lol next time just put it through ai dude it fixes up spelling errors fast

wont have to wait for someone to respond

[dense drift]

yah but didnt want to open google so i opened dc

meant new tab

[graceful gyro]

I have a question I’m kinda new to scripting and when I see ppl do script for ability’s and combat system some do it complicated and some simple is it better to do simple scripts or not and if yes or not why is that could smb tell me pls

[frail plaza]

why uh

why is the gui above the view?

i set them to -10000 zindex

[kind spire]

Hey guys, I'm currently working on a big project and I keep hearing that big games have to be in TS or you have to use this framework, etc. I want an honest opinion on what's the best way to get my game out there.

[edgy falcon]

delete the screengui and ctrl + z

it should put it above all other ui

its just how roblox studio works dont ask me 😭 it happened to me many times before

[hexed narwhal]

why is there ui in code discussion anyway

slop ui even

[frail plaza]

is js grouped everything in one screengui

[frail plaza]

i didnt make it, working for someone js coding the ui

[edgy falcon]

then remove the main frame and ctrl +z

or any ui entity

and itll put it above everything else

roblox studio™

[frail plaza]

yea im js gonna leave it as is

everything is modular

it was easy to fix

[edgy falcon]

dang

[edgy falcon]

the ui is pretty cool i like it actually

i never play this type of games though not a big fan honestly i dont even know why

[gaunt carbon]

^

[tacit wadi]

Some ui movement https://streamable.com/ebk3bo

[frail plaza]

how do i get a direction relative to a character?

[tacit wadi]

What yall think

[frail plaza]

3d ui?

[tacit wadi]

Yes

[frail plaza]

ah ok

you using viewports? or just updating 3d object pos to screen

?

[hot nymph]

I think he's using viewports since the 3d object has a 2d perspective kinda

[frail plaza]

yea i was wondering that aswell

[hot nymph]

I cant change my name 😭

[tacit wadi]

I’m using this, but I made a wrapper for it that makes it super easy to set up and handles the bobble movement https://devforum.roblox.com/t/screen3d-a-3d-ui-framework-that-just-works/3273671

[frail plaza]

im stuborn so i'll never touch this

[hot nymph]

interesting

if only I could post links so I could show my 2d to 3d level editor 😭

[frail plaza]

how do i make it so that

instead of this

being directly tied to position on grid

it would take into account the player's rotation

and adjust accordingly

the arrow is the movement direction btw

eyes for visual flair

you can see he's looking towards (-1,1)

but the movement direction would still be (-1,1) unit'ed

[hot nymph]

ngl I dont got a clue what im looking at

[frail plaza]

i dont blame you

this is stupid asf

[tacit wadi]

You want to get the move direction?

[frail plaza]

no

i want directional dashing

[tacit wadi]

Input direction?

[tacit wadi]

Elaborate

Directional dashing? As in you snap in a direction to move?

[frail plaza]

no

if you would be holding the a key while moving in that direction it would play that animation

but i dont want to map out the keys

i want to just use the vector direction

[hot nymph]

I need ideas on what to script

[tacit wadi]

Yeah so what you want is the input direction

[frail plaza]

climbing

[frail plaza]

yea

the thing is tho

[hot nymph]

already have made tha

[frail plaza]

i dont want to have like 10 input checks

[frail plaza]

inverse gravity

stick on walls and stuff

[tacit wadi]

Oh boi do i have a solution for you

[frail plaza]

?

a table?

[hot nymph]

I've made combat, inventory stuff, a level editor, rollback netcode

[tacit wadi]

Why not use the movedirection under humanoid?

[hot nymph]

and some other things

[tacit wadi]

Or

[frail plaza]

that would give you what i dont want

[tacit wadi]

Do you want to figure out if the player is moving left or right

[frail plaza]

well actualy

if i was for example

facing one direction

and dashing in the other

it wouldnt play the proper anims

[frail plaza]

i want to know all directions

wasd

might js make a table with all the movement keys and their according dashes atp

[hot nymph]

Oh you want it so when they click the corresponding movement key, it snaps them to that dash direction or sum?

[tacit wadi]

Ok apart from move direction, you could get the move vector via player module like this

local controls = playerModule:GetControls()

local moveVector = controls:GetMoveVector()

[frail plaza]

im honest to god gonna kill the other scripter working w/me

[tacit wadi]

I believe you can get non camera relative too

[frail plaza]

this guy names things horribly

all his code is unreadable

and bc of the way he did things

they dont even work with my scripts

even though i told him how all my services work

this mf made his own that dont even work with my datastoring

half of his scripts are just chatgpt shit

[hot nymph]

lowk I've been a scripter for 4 years and I still dont have good naming practices

[frail plaza]

he would name player "p"

[hot nymph]

thats worse than me

I just do plr

single letter is crazy

[frail plaza]

this guy genuinly got me tweaking bro

i have to rewrite like 15 fucking systems

[gaunt carbon]

Bruh

Cut him then

[frail plaza]

he litteraly says that he uses chatgpt for all his debugging

[frail plaza]

i cant

im working with him

under a commisioner

• he finished his work already

[gaunt carbon]

😭

[frail plaza]

im left to clean up his mess

his code is the definition of unscalable

[hot nymph]

yikes

honestly I use GPT every once in a while because it is a decently useful tool but I'm not dependent on it like some devs are

but it sucks with roblox lua anyways so I end up writing the code myself anyway

[gaunt carbon]

Atp only use chatgpt if ur like rlly stuck and u cant find any alternative to help you

[gaunt carbon]

Honestly

[frail plaza]

neverrrr

just start devforumaxxing

[gaunt carbon]

But theres roblox ai helper thing or smth

[tough vapor]

Anyone know any phone apps i can make ctr thumbails on, and also make outlines?

[hot nymph]

its buns

[dire lichen]

viewportframes need to be reworked

vpf + surfacegui combo

[frail plaza]

agree

[tacit wadi]

Ok im back

[dire lichen]

🤤

[tough vapor]

No cap, why cant u put highlights in them

[tacit wadi]

Do you want the move vector relative or NOT relative to the camera

[dire lichen]

so many limitations

[frail plaza]

turns out neither of our solutions will work

[gaunt carbon]

It irritated me sm when I first started, I was trying mid coding and it would add its own stuff

[tough vapor]

Anyone know any phone apps i can make ctr thumbails on, and also make outlines?

[frail plaza]

the shitty ass scripter im working with hardcoded everything

[tacit wadi]

kill your scripter dawg

[hot nymph]

I hate when ppl do that

[frail plaza]

i cant change anything without recoding everything

[tacit wadi]

thats why i never work with any other scripters

[gaunt carbon]

Ibis painr

[frail plaza]

i didnt have a choice 😭

[tough vapor]

I have it and its good, but theres not really an outline feature

and cant make text transparent

[gaunt carbon]

Clip studio

[tough vapor]

will try

[gaunt carbon]

Oof

[gaunt carbon]

I'd cry if I were u tbh id haye to work with sm1 like that

[tough vapor]

Honestly

chat gpt would help, at the cost of your morals

[frail plaza]

it would be chatgptsception

look at this stupid ass naming

[hot nymph]

how the FUCK is ab revelant to this

😭

its not even cA or sum

why'd they camel case 2 letters

[hot nymph]

single letters 💔

[sleek rose]

Should blocking animations be loading on the server or client for a combat system?

[hot nymph]

anims on client

logic on server

[frail plaza]

client

js make a damage handler

or damageservice i mean

all the damage related functions should be filtered there

incase you want damage multipliers

or blocking as suggested

(or maybe you already made allat and im stupid)

[hot nymph]

always handle things that should have little to no latency/delay on client for the most part

[sleek rose]

Alright ty just double checking

How should I go about handling block/parry timing?

[hot nymph]

wym?

[silver root]

i have a big question so im trying to make animated models that load floating above the players head when they load in and play there respected animation how do i go about this ive been trying everything from animation controllers to make them glorified rigs and welding and adding joints nothing i do seems to work is there an easy way to do this?

my layout is 2 meshparts that form the object i need one of them welded since they both make the one object and now need that object to float over my head and play an animation when i load in how do i fix this

[frail plaza]

add humanoidrootpart

[sleek rose]

Like whenever the player starts blocking, do I just create a parry tag for the parry window duration

[frail plaza]

humanoid

[sleek rose]

or is there a ebtter way to go about it

[frail plaza]

and animator

[frail plaza]

again, damageservice

[silver root]

dosent humanoid cause server lag there will be 8 players a time

[frail plaza]

check the window which the player started blocking and when they got hit

with time or something

or tick

[frail plaza]

idk never heard about lag

[hot nymph]

it wont cause much lag with only 8 players

[silver root]

would it add up though because my game is an incremental with many object being locally spawned in at once

[iron kraken]

corny

[silver root]

if not is humanoid much simpler just animating the root part

[hot nymph]

if its local then it wont cause much lag for other players

unless you mean something else

[silver root]

nah just local so it should be fine then that boosts my player count to 16 because 8 players with 8 humanoids

or theorhetical player count

[indigo helm]

holy nesting

[frail plaza]

nestmaxxing

[indigo helm]

are you trying to make your code as unreadable as possible or what

[hot nymph]

how is that unreadable (save for the single letter vars) 💔

[indigo helm]

it is readable but it takes a bit to realize what the variables even are

[cinder spindle]

can you tween a mesh??

[indigo helm]

tween how

[cinder spindle]

wdym how? (little confused by your wording)

[indigo helm]

what are you trying to tween

size, position

[cinder spindle]

a mesh

oh

position

[indigo helm]

yeah why not

[iron kraken]

cornball

[hot nymph]

im so bored, what do I script

I need more stuff for my port

[cinder spindle]

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
    2, 
    Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, 
    Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 
    0,
    false, 
    0)

local propeties = {  
    Position = Vector3.new(1000, 1000, 1000)
}



local tween = TweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, propeties) ```

this is my code

and i set it to 1000 to see if it would move

also its in a model

does that change anything

[indigo helm]

no

[indigo helm]

you aren't playing it

you're only creating it

[cinder spindle]

ohhh

[indigo helm]

you need to do tween:Play() below the variable

[cinder spindle]

i havent used tween service in a minute

alright thanks bro god bless, have a great day

[indigo helm]

thanks you too

[blissful void]

should i turn my script editor into the old powershell command thing?

[hot nymph]

what

[sleek rose]

Should I fire to the server to start the attack to validate everything, then the server fires to the client to play the attack animation?

Or play animation first then fire?

[frail plaza]

wait for validation

[sleek rose]

If I want to use animation markers for vfx timing how should I go about that

[frail plaza]

what animator ur using?

[sleek rose]

Just listen on client and fire?

[sleek rose]

I animate in blender but I've already imported it to roblox

and added the markers "Hit"

[frail plaza]

i think its uh

animation:Reachedanimationmarker

something like that

[sleek rose]

So I just listen on client and fire to server?

[frail plaza]

tell me again what's the goal?

[sleek rose]

Creating a hitbox on the Hit marker, alongside creating a slash vfx

[frail plaza]

yea

then you would tell the server to create slash

the server validates that the ability or wtv was used

then does it

[kind spire]

Hey guys, I'm currently working on a big project and I keep hearing that big games have to be in TS or you have to use this framework, etc. I want an honest opinion on what's the best way to get my game out there.

[chilly canyon]

Just be yourself you don't need to use that bullshi

U can use Nevermore It has all anything you need

[outer hare]

Why do people even get into huge projects 😭 , I made 3 small games they made me a good amount and now working on another small project launching in this saturday 😭

[kind spire]

Alright thx

[kind spire]

Ask the owner

[velvet helm]

Guys

Have any of y'all developed a pathfinding NPCs for a fps game

That doesn't shutter n mimics at least some real player movements

How complex is it

[regal salmon]

a Model doesnt have a Touched event. only derivatives of BasePart (Part, MeshPart, and UnionOperation) have it.

[regal salmon]

its really just preference
roblox-ts is for people who prefer typescript over luau, and frameworks are just there to make things a bit easier. you can 100% still make a "big game" in base roblox on your own

[frosty fossil]

Yo

I'm making a like

loading screen

ts is pmo bro

oh

wrong channel

[bright siren]

do pro scripters even use repeat until

[lost atlas]

whos got any recommendations for learning luau for roblox

ive watched the brawldev beginner series on youtube

and i still dont know how to code anything without searching it up

[ruby iron]

thats fine

keep doing that until you don't have to search stuff up

it's a process

[lost atlas]

by searching it up i mean just watching tutoirals and copying the scripts

[ruby iron]

Yeah that's fine

It's how everyone starts

[chilly canyon]

Write it on a paper or something

[lost atlas]

but i feel like if i keep copying the scripts without actually learning the script i wont get far

[ruby iron]

copy and learn at the same time

[lost atlas]

alright thanks

[lost atlas]

what games do u recommend i try to make that would help me learn to script better

[ruby iron]

maybe not full games but smaller features

like tools are fun to make

[lost atlas]

alright thanks

[dense drift]

'have you been watching brawldev? if not dont start with him, watch devking tuts first

[frail plaza]

how do i shorten this?

im 80% sure i could make this one function

[chilly canyon]

if self.IntermissionRunning or self.RoundRuninng

Put it in a one statement

[frail plaza]

hm

then what abt the booleans?

[chilly canyon]

Reverse checking

[frail plaza]

nvm

yea

not checks

[chilly canyon]

Yes

[frail plaza]

one more thing, should i use a mapservice or just bundle map generation into the roundcontroller module?

[lost atlas]

ive watchesd the first like 12 episodes of the brawldev scripting for beginners

so should i watch the devking ones?

[twilit gale]

think of something and go script it
like a moving part, color changing part, e.t.c
if you can easily do that then do something harder like opening and closing a door

100% of making a game is problem solving skills
There's a bunch of different ways to solve a problem

If you're just watching tutorials it isn't gonna do anything unless your putting it into practice

[tough vapor]

No, instead ask chatgpt how to put things together, it'll save months of scripting

[lost atlas]

okay ill start today thanks

[dense drift]

personally i was getting a little confused with brawldev since he overcomplicates most of his stuff, devkiing explains it great for people who atleast know the basics or are learning,he also gives great scripting ideas, personally i made a button that makes it rain, dosnt sound to complicated but its great for learning

[tough vapor]

It helped me, YouTubers make terrible tutorials

How I got 6k ccu

,afk

[dense drift]

what the hell is ccu, everyone talks about it but i have no idea

[tough vapor]

Concurrent players

[dense drift]

so like through out the whole games time being up?

[tough vapor]

No

[echo stream]

an amount of people playing the game at once

[tough vapor]

Ccu is amount of players online at a given time in your game

[dense drift]

oh i see now

you’re supposed to script stuff

and practicr

copying scripts without thinking abt how it works or what it does wont help you

guys, how to make domain expansion smooth sphere forming like jjs?

[rotund pawn]

What instances can I use to create ship vehicle? Align pos and orientation with force to move?

[granite igloo]

u can try cframing it on client

with replication

[pastel sentinel]

if you wanted to make a projectile like a spear or something, would you tween or lerp?

[regal salmon]

lerp would be best

[cloud brook]

tween flexibility is low

[pastel sentinel]

thank you

[chilly canyon]

[cloud axle]

How do u learn more after learning the basics. might sound stupid but is it just doing it?

[stone vapor]

self doesnt mean only oop gng

[chilly canyon]

[chilly canyon]

Read docs

[regal salmon]

basically, just learn as you go lol

think of something you wanna make, try to make it, and use the internet to learn how

[mighty wedge]

bbbbbb

bored as hell what u even do

[jovial moat]

Generally more modularization is better since it allows you to better isolate functionality for different things. I'd definitely say level generation is separate from round control.

[kind drift]

guys

after i lvl up my 3D skills

now time for me finaly to learn scripting

i want to do commisions quickly and i'm a scripter with 7-8 months of experience. anyone got any ideas of what i could script with these requirements?

`Luau Scripter skill role can only be attained when an applicant creates and submits a sophisticated Luau code with a working demonstration in a Roblox Place. The code must encompass the intermediate level aspects of programming in Luau. At least 80% of your code must be Luau programming language exclusively, rest 0-20% can be other programming language(s).

A minimum of 200 lines of Roblox Luau code in a single script (excluding empty/ blank lines and comment lines).
Only GitHub link is permitted (use proper file extension). Repository link is not permitted, submit direct link to the Luau code.
You must demonstrate a broad understanding of Roblox and programming logic.
You must show broad understanding of Roblox API. We suggest using CFrame math, physics, metatables, open-source libraries, etc.
The code must be well written and efficient, with proper utilization of functions and methods.
Code must be well presented in order to maintain readability.
There must be appropriate comments written by you, to demonstrate an understanding of the provided code.
A demo game demonstrating the functionality of the script must be provided.
Ensure that your code is well-optimized and avoid any unnecessary components/ extra lines.
Roblox place must be owned by you, or you must be specifically credited in the game description. Alternatively, credits are allowed in-game (must be specified in the description if the credits are in-game) or on an external page (like Roblox DevForum) if this external page is linked in the game description.
Avoid the following:
Irrelevant or unnecessary blocks of code.
Several modules/ scripts combined together.`

if i started scripting from now how long would u guys think it will take for me to make my first commision

[hollow wind]

prbly a few months if u learn quickly tbh

[granite forge]

Ur getting auto ignored if u send that message

[grim pivot]

in your opinions, which advanced scripting tutorial series is better

BrawlDev
TheDevKing

[sharp perch]

docs

[grim pivot]

which was CLEARLY one of the 2 options portrayed, thx

[sharp perch]

i stopped reading after "tutorial series"

just use docs

[mossy lynx]

Make like a gun system or smth like that, u can also make a 5 m1 combat system wit hella stuff and mad if statements cu Idt they will care as long as its 200 lines idk tho

Nvm

Must be well written

[split turret]

What do you think of my theme

dozen work

[rocky idol]

idk what comes next in learning to script, i try to make less spaghetti code, but idk how to improve enough so i can start building frameworks and proper systems

cause it isn't like one step at a time like usual stuff, it feels like you do spaghetti code then you jump all the way up to frameworks

[split turret]

Here's something that might help

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/roblox-scripting-roadmap-learning-resource-list/808430

[uncut dawn]

bro tysm

[elder fossil]

I’ve been learning for about a 2 months but YouTube is is really not showing me anything 🫤I understand the language but I don’t know how to program with it ??Yk what I’m trying to say ??

[uncut dawn]

you have to practice

[hollow wind]

brawl dev is good

[split turret]

No problem

[rocky idol]

thx

looking at the roadmap i only miss metables and OOP (from the things i want under my belt) which is something i always avoided like the plague

guess there is no escaping it

[exotic phoenix]

the second parameter of a for loop will remain a mystery

I never use it

[rocky idol]

you use _ for tables

(it still works even if it isn't for a table)

[exotic phoenix]

the first parameter is the value and the second one is the key no?

if I remember correctly

[rocky idol]

yeah

[smoky dagger]

pairs too

pairs are completly useless and ipairs has like one niche use

[exotic phoenix]

and ipairs lol the difference is minor, from what I remember it just goes through two at once no

[exotic phoenix]

whats the niche use

I wanna know now

[smoky dagger]

idk never had to use it

[exotic phoenix]

complete and irreversable world domination by AI

hopefully we never need to use it

[broken grove]

it only iterates over the array

but its slower than just doing a while loop

[exotic phoenix]

oh hey thanks Matthew

[broken grove]

first is the index/key and second is the value

[exotic phoenix]

r u saying that its better to use a while loop to iterate through arrays/tables

[broken grove]

if there isnt a dictionary and array in the same table, use general iteration

aka no pairs/ipairs

[exotic phoenix]

does that mean u only use while loops

[broken grove]

for i, v in tbl do
  print(`{i}: {v}`)
end

[sharp gulch]

for loops are so annoying

[fresh gyro]

what should i make for free

[wide sparrow]

skid

[wanton ginkgo]

I made a teleport part scrip with 2 part how do i make it so when stepping on either of them you teleport to the other without it looping or a cooldown and wait for the person to step off the platform ?

[frail yarrow]

how stupid are you

[urban folio]

@broken grove sent DM

[static coral]

other way around

syntax for for loop is:
for i = start, end, optional_increment do
OR
for … in iterator, …args do

so u can do for i, v in function do

[glass briar]

Print("hello world")

[faint lantern]

yo chat is anyone here a roblox scripter i bought a system and need helping scripting it in my game if anyone can help

[ionic nacelle]

for loops are so useful

[ionic nacelle]

while loops are very unreliable, so its better to just use for loops

[hasty mesa]

?

[chilly canyon]

Luckyblock game again bruh

[ionic nacelle]

idk i just wanna sound like an advanced scripter man

[mint grail]

Someone wanna take a look and test at my discord bot

[chilly canyon]

Literally both have different use cases

[stable bane]

nice boids LOOL

[steady raft]

Half of the things you can do is either not possible or way too complicated without for loops

[hasty mesa]

while loops

[steady raft]

oh

[gaunt fable]

🤣

/j

[sharp gulch]

i have 2.2m visits btw

[sharp gulch]

i use them, but they are really annoying to deal with personally in my opinion

[frail yarrow]

bro i do not care

thats not even a lot lmfao

Why are you tryna flex some pitiful ass numbers

[sharp gulch]

jus admit ur ahh

[flat halo]

Congrats?

[frail yarrow]

Bud you think for loops are hard

Give up

[sharp gulch]

i dont think they are hard i think they are annoying

[frail yarrow]

You must suck

[sharp gulch]

na

im a pretty good dev tbh

[frail yarrow]

[cyan meadow]

I can add the tool in if you want

[unborn blade]

wym

[cyan meadow]

Like I can make a tool in the starterpack

If you need help with that

But that’s all i can do

500 robux

[unborn blade]

any1 can do that

just literally insert tool in starterpack

[naive ruin]

for loops are when you have a defined initial number of iterations
While usually works well with break after a "while true", or just "while variable"

[mild dagger]

Does anyone know how to spoof?

[cinder basalt]

is that dogg

or eg

[vernal peak]

Guys how do animation based vfx work? Cuz with a fireball, we can js clone the part with client and everything is good, how about with animation based vfx? Can u save vfx inside animation id?

[wise birch]

[sharp gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-hi-underage-discord-user-emoji-smile-gif-2805104064061584244

[cedar vapor]

I mean unless he was like 6-8 when he made his discord he isn’t really under age

And I doubt that

How old do you think he is @sharp gulch

[sharp gulch]

based off his pfp like 13

[sleek umbra]

guys is there any decent method to block save instance, I have only seen a method of blocking UGCValidationService but there is also this one bypass in save instance that pauses rendering, I wanna know how I would be able to detect that as well.

[graceful gyro]
