[torn cloak]

i am

how many years mr bedridden banan

how many years do you have experience

[shy cipher]

boolean logic is simply

if true then

if false then

[torn cloak]

this is NOT BOOLEAN LOGIC

[dense spade]

yea i got that bro,it a simple google away

[torn cloak]

this is literally just an if statement

[shy cipher]

https://giphy.com/gifs/raiden-solid-snake-mgs2-5doovpD7IhQW9mAjto

I'm not even going to object

[torn cloak]

how many years do you have experience

[dense spade]

anyways ill just figure smth out and be back here with a long list of errors

[shy cipher]

I have none actually

I started today

[haughty trail]

i can tell

[torn cloak]

so you just confirmed you're speaking some bull shit

thanks

[dense spade]

i started at 2020 but stoped for 3 years in between

[shy cipher]

you can't disprove that I just learned all this today

[torn cloak]

hey i took a youtube tutorial and some math classes on lua

im so cool

[shy cipher]

yeah you are

[torn cloak]

let me go explain it to people who in reality dont give a shit

[shy cipher]

you go girl

[hardy flume]

can anyone help understand instances and primitives whats a normal amount to have them at because for some reason in my game it shows i have alot of instances

[torn cloak]

instances id suggest an object pool if ur gonna use a whole lot

[haughty trail]

lmao

object poooooling loooool

[torn cloak]

and maybe types to identify them if you want special attributes but i personally would not use it

[torn cloak]

whats wrong with an optimized way to use your instances

[dense spade]

does a bullet hell game need a PartCache like system or should i just not think too much here

[torn cloak]

what

[hardy flume]

whats a normal amount of instances a game has

like an average

[haughty trail]

there is no average

[dense spade]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/partcache-for-all-your-quick-part-creation-needs/246641

[haughty trail]

you cant even implement proper object pooling

just an dumb illusion of object pooling

[torn cloak]

oh well im not THAT into roblox's api

[hardy flume]

in performance summery stats it shows 400k instances which is absurd amount but thats nowhere near what i actually have in the workspace

[torn cloak]

i mostly learned game logic shit and more from Unity

and Photon's API for networking

Realtime, PUN, Fusion and more

[haughty trail]

the less instances the better

obvious

[torn cloak]

yeah

well i think in roblox thats the case

[regal salmon]

finally spent the time to successfully make a pls donate gamepass/donation system

[wintry iris]

2get dat 10% cost reduction?

[regal salmon]

nah just to see how it's made

i see people ask about it a lot so i wanted to learn how to make it to better help answer questions about it

it also means i have my own proxy now so that will probably be useful in the future

[wintry iris]

it's about 10 lines no?

[regal salmon]

bit more than that lol

[wintry iris]

maybe we're talking about different things

[regal salmon]

im talking about the gamepass getting system

where it collects all your gamepasses from your oldest public place

[wintry iris]

i'm talking about purchasing gamepasses from other games through your own game to get 10% cost reduction

[regal salmon]

ah lol

yeah diff things

[wintry iris]

hell yea then sounds interesting to make

[regal salmon]

i also made the stand claiming and displaying and everything too

but i mostly did it for the gamepass collection part

[shy cipher]

@regal salmon I have a module that has some preference settings inside starterplayerscripts, I want to access this from the server but the server can't see PlayerScripts unlike the player so where do I get their preference settings from

genuinely no idea

[regal salmon]

i'd suggest keeping modulescripts in ReplicatedStorage or ServerStorage if youre only accessing them from the server

ServerScriptService would also be fine too

[shy cipher]

how do I store per-player settings in that case without having to set up some complicated logic? I can do that but ehhh?

I want the player to be able to change their settings on the client and verify with the server to finalise those settings on the server's perspective

[regal salmon]

you'd have your module with a module-level dictionary set up to store all the players settings
the player can then either be sent those through a remoteevent, or request them with a remotefunction

[rapid eagle]

Yea

[shy cipher]

can't the player just require the module to find their settings bruh

[regal salmon]

if it's set on the server then no

you have to use one of those two to send data between the client and the server

server cant see stuff the client set, and client cant see stuff the server set

in modulescripts, that is

[shy cipher]

was planning to bridge that with remote events

[regal salmon]

then yeah you could do it like that

[rapid eagle]

This weird

[regal salmon]

its viable to store the settings in the same modulescript on both

especially if you want to make use of the same functions

[shy cipher]

is it OK to load/save settings data on the client (clarification)? it doesn't really open any exploitation doors. if they set their bind to something impossible well that affects them not everybody else, and preference settings are just preference settings and even if a preference is on gamepass, the server does check if the player owns that gamepass

like this

[regal salmon]

so long as the server verifies anything that needs to be verified, you can do that just fine

[rapid eagle]

Ok but I think client does 2 now

[shy cipher]

can I trust the client with the "saving settings" part

[rapid eagle]

Settings as like music and stuff?

[regal salmon]

like i said, if something needs to be verified, make sure its verified

if its just volume settings then yeah its trustworthy

[shy cipher]

yeah like an audio percentage (e.g 120% on master sounds)

[rapid eagle]

Yes that is 100% client except the fact datatstores only save on server

[regal salmon]

but if its something like (as you said) a setting that can only be changed when you own a gamepass, then verify it on the server before saving it

[rapid eagle]

But other than that they should be server cause u don't need to verify it it's something client sided

[rapid eagle]

Yes for example kill sound

[regal salmon]

^

[shy cipher]

yeah I do check if something's gamepass or not a client-only thing, but I keep hearing you can only save data on the server

[rapid eagle]

I treat client as a student and server as teacher I want to change how I am sitting I can do that but if I want to talk I have to ask for permission from the teacher

[rapid eagle]

Yes u can only save data and load on server

[shy cipher]

I don't want to save the data on the server though for something like this

[regal salmon]

only the server can access datastores

thats just how it is

[rapid eagle]

You must save it there

[regal salmon]

you can save it locally if you dont want it to persist between sessions

in that case you dont need the server to save it

but if you want to keep those settings, the server is required

and anyway, if the client is the one saving it, server validation is completely useless

[rapid eagle]

But

[shy cipher]

I don't think I need to validate something like audio or keybinds tho, it's the client's fault if they use an executor to set their volume to 1000% and rip their eardrums out

[rapid eagle]

Yes that 100%

[shy cipher]

does profilestores work on the client

[regal salmon]

no

you gotta request to save and get the data from the server

cause again, datastores cant be accessed on the client

[shy cipher]

oh well I'll try remote events

[rapid eagle]

Ofc not it's a wrapper.

So it falls in the same category or it's basically the same

[shy cipher]

anyway thanks for your time

[sonic furnace]

hi

[regal salmon]

hello

[sonic furnace]

how did u host ur website

[regal salmon]

Vercel

https://vercel.com

[sonic furnace]

it is free

[regal salmon]

yeah

thats why i use it lol

i aint got them stacks

😔

[rapid eagle]

Does it really cost to host 😔

[regal salmon]

in most cases, yeah

vercel is amazing for that though

they offer so many different types of web hosting for free

and then theres the paid plan to upgrade performance

[rapid eagle]

I haven't gotten into the topic of web developing so yea.

[regal salmon]

though ive found i havent needed it

[rapid eagle]

How much is it

[regal salmon]

20 a month i think

increases depending on your usage

[rapid eagle]

Welp I don't think I would need it or can afford it for now

I will just use it to make a portfolio yk

It's much better to have ur work somewheres documented

[regal salmon]

its definitely not necessary lol

[regal salmon]

[rapid eagle]

Fr it's not like there will be a 100 person watching it together

Anyways thanks!

[sonic furnace]

how much usd u win average per dzy

@regal salmon

[regal salmon]

wdym?

[sonic furnace]

how much money

u win in average

per week or months

[regal salmon]

like how much do i make from comms?

[sonic furnace]

yes

[regal salmon]

oh

like 0 per day lol

i've only done one scripting comm in the past like couple months i think

idk i cant remember

it was good pay, but that's all i've done

[sonic furnace]

how u can be this good

and dont do comms

[regal salmon]

its not like im purposefully not doing them

[sonic furnace]

how do u win ur money then

[regal salmon]

i used to dm people who were in scripter-hiring

but they didnt respond

[sonic furnace]

then how you win money

[regal salmon]

now i just let people dm me, which happens someitmes

[regal salmon]

allowance

unemployed loser over here

[sonic furnace]

what is this

[sonic furnace]

oh bro

[regal salmon]

me i mean me

im the loser

[sonic furnace]

then work for me for free

@regal salmon

[regal salmon]

what 💀

[sonic furnace]

maybe it works

[regal salmon]

i dont work for free

[sonic furnace]

for game percent

[sonic furnace]

u said u win 0 per day

bro

[regal salmon]

yeah, and i dont work for free

i aint workin

[sonic furnace]

yes but for percent u can win money

u got 0 revenue source from scripting

[regal salmon]

i also dont take percent-only jobs, since there's no guarantee of any benefit to come from it

[sonic furnace]

yes but you win 0 right now

so try

@regal salmon

bro im poor like you

your richer cuz u got nitro

[regal salmon]

i have the money to get nitro because of the aforementioned scripting commission i did recently that had good pay

[regal salmon]

i dont see the point in working for a percentage of a game when i could just make my own game and get 100%

[sonic furnace]

how did u found the guy

[regal salmon]

he dm'd me randomly

probably found me here

[sonic furnace]

bro u can win 50 usd per hour

but u won

[sonic furnace]

i can make you work for a company

dm me send me ur portoflio

they will not get me so idc

u will work for a modded group with 500k member

mmv reuploader

@regal salmon

[regal salmon]

what is a mmv reuploader

anyway my portfolio's kind of ass rn i cant even lie

i need to get some better stuff on it

[sonic furnace]

a company who copy games and u just gotta code server script service of each game for 600 usd

[regal salmon]

and they dont get taken down for that?

i recreated you vs homer but i dont see a success in my recreation nor a joy that i finished it

idk what else i like to play on roblox

most games are absolute dogshit these days

[shut sorrel]

I mean recreate games that aren't on Roblox in Roblox, they almost are successful even if it's shitty

well and if it's relevant

[torn cloak]

well thats just stealing ideas

[rare kelp]

rocket league in roblox

[shut sorrel]

literally every game is just stealing ideas from another game just with its own coat of paint

it's called taking inspiration

[rare kelp]

clearly you haven't played video game 2

[shut sorrel]

But on Roblox it's okay to copy 1:1 from a real game as long as it not Nintendo

I'm on video game 3 I skipped 2

[rare kelp]

so much lore you skipped 😭

[dark juniper]

Well it’s a strategy

What do u consider copy games

I could try making a guide based on high elo experiences

Mm2 is just a game mode from Garry's mod and it still pretty popular today, not as big as it was a few years ago tho, front page games are just copy of other front page games and flash games like snakeio

dev team on Roblox just has better QoL updates

[wicked gull]

anyone know what the best way is to learn scripting

[rose halo]

Way too many people working on this already

[devout sparrow]

Hi, I'm trying to implement a server-side ragdoll system for a PvP game, could someone help me please?

[rare kelp]

lag fest

[rose halo]

No I mean like legit good devs

it’s a popular project now that Roblox’s server authority stuff is coming out and it’s dead easy to make

[rare kelp]

sorry im not up to date

server authority stuff?

does that mean they can make a lag-less fighting game

big

[rose halo]

Kinda , it means you can have server sided physics/gameplay with smooth client prediction

necessary for stuff like rocket league or physics fighting games where players interact with each other

[dark juniper]

yea ok but I think it’s still a meta that people don’t understand very well

Copying games on Roblox is a skill that can be played at multiple levels

There’s a lot of copy games that hit the mark and a lot of others that fall flat

It can probably be metamanced in such a way that the average person can figure out how to climb it

[heady spire]

im trying to make an ability framework of sorts and i was wondering how people deal with vfx replication, what i was thinking was that the vfx is just entirely client sided, where client input -> to client-side vfx script + to server script for hitbox n stuff
but i think exploiters could just make their ability invisible with this by just making the vfx script not run? is there a way to make the vfx script run on all clients regardless or should it just be like input -> server logic -> server sends vfx to clients but then would this have an effect on latency n stuff (i am new to scripting)

[granite igloo]

client input -> client side vfx + server hitbox + send to other clients

[heady spire]

how can i ensure an exploiter just doesnt activate the vfx script

or even if they do that everyone else still sees it

[granite igloo]

wdym

server sends the vfx remote to other clients

if the exploiter disables vfx on their game thats their problem

shouldnt affect others

[heady spire]

ohh yea so the server sends it

[broken grove]

Client says to run ability

Server sends damage and vfx

[heady spire]

yes ok

does that matter for latency or replication or anything like dat

or should i not bother as a beginner

[granite igloo]

there is one thing

[broken grove]

Unavoidable

[granite igloo]

the client thats doing the ability

[heady spire]

fair

[granite igloo]

should do the VFX without waiting for server remote

[heady spire]

i see

[granite igloo]

other clients should get it through the server remote

[broken grove]

Like how chat sends chat locally first

[granite igloo]

otherwise the client doing the ability will see it laggy

[broken grove]

Before tagging from server response

[heady spire]

but surely that might give scenarios where the client that used it

sees it definitely land but it doesnt

[granite igloo]

u gotta sync the game with server well

for that to not happen a lot

[heady spire]

how do u do that

[granite igloo]

depends on ur game

[heady spire]

like not send too much data n stuff

[granite igloo]

but what u said does happen on modern games me think

[granite igloo]

nah like

do the check on client and the server

[heady spire]

oh yea for the hitbox itself

[granite igloo]

so the client does a check

then the server also does one to verify it

[heady spire]

yea idk ill try stuff

[granite igloo]

ye

[sonic furnace]

guys h ow much yall make from comms monthly

@granite igloo ?

[granite igloo]

me dont take commisions

[sonic furnace]

why

what do u do then

[granite igloo]

im busy nowadays with studying

so cant do much studio

[sonic furnace]

alr

do u use rojo

[granite igloo]

no

[sonic furnace]

and visualcode

[granite igloo]

no

[sonic furnace]

ok ok

can u tell me a website to learn

a bit of script

[granite igloo]

roblox docs and youtube should suffice

[autumn ermine]

yeah what about that

[sonic furnace]

why u do this

[autumn ermine]

are you trying to insult me or are you new

[sonic furnace]

im new

[autumn ermine]

learn how to code first

[sonic furnace]

also my first project would be a dialog systems is that good

[civic garnet]

some people like having the tools vscode provides & also like to use external tools you cant use with studio

[sonic furnace]

thx butter can u respond to this too pls

[hot copper]

bro just discovered rojo and now thinks he can insult everyone

[autumn ermine]

not an insult, he genuinly needs to learn how to code first before exploring what to use

[hot copper]

if u mean project as game then absolutely not

[sonic furnace]

no im saying to learn

[hot copper]

he just got a doubt just tell him what it is and tell him to not mind that

i got so frustated a few years ago when people told me to learn how to code first

[autumn ermine]

too much time

[hot copper]

i was gonna break my monitor

[hot copper]

everything u try is gonna be good to progress

[peak jolt]

they use it for ai

[civic garnet]

its too much time to link the rojo website?

Wtf 😭

[autumn ermine]

rojo.com

[civic garnet]

nice ip grabber

[hot copper]

[sonic furnace]

who usde it for ai

[hot copper]

wym

[peak jolt]

the people that use vscode. they use it to use ai

[hot copper]

not really just cause of that

better version control

better lintin

better code suggestions

plugins

but lowkey its useless unless u are working on a big ahhh project with a load of people

[smoky dagger]

Easier packages

[hot copper]

yea wally

true

[civic garnet]

pesde >

[peak jolt]

(unless you use it... for ai)

[hot copper]

i lowkey just use claude if i need to use AI

[peak jolt]

standalone tools become unwieldy once u have tasks where a lot of scripts need to be considered at once

eh i mean you can cv paste all the scripts in its not a big deal but copy pasting 5 little changes in 5 separate scripts at 5 exact line counts will get annoying fast

[autumn oak]

any cool ideas to code?

[hot copper]

recreate apolo mission spaceship

itd be reslly cool

i can send u the real github on assembly

if u want me to

[glass briar]

How long did it take yall to learn how to script an basic game?

[copper spindle]

I took 3 months to practice but learnt in 2 weeks

I am still learning advance scripting

[glass briar]

Oh wow

I have been at it for like 4 days now and im starting to understand stuff

[reef falcon]

how can i get better at lua?

[smoky path]

read documentation, watch tutorials, do shit, cry at debugging, rinse and repeat with increasingly complex tasks

and #1 tip: do not buy dookie courses

[copper spindle]

Just try making some systems

Like try making a system in which pressing 'X' on keyboard triggers a massive ground smash which flings the players around

[soft trout]

Yeo does anyone have a good r6 ragdoll module
i could code it myself but its the last thing i want to do rn

[glacial hornet]

What's the best way to improve at scripting?

[woven terrace]

learn, practice

[ebon trout]

yo im trying to create an auto anchor feature where when the ball makes contact to this invisible wall it anchors, this is so when the ball goes out in my football game it stops so nobody can hit it,

the ball however decides to anchor prior to it hitting the invisible wall or within proximity of the wall on random occasions

HOW TO FIX

[lost pebble]

i cant say there's a "best way." in general, just make things. start small. when you reach a wall, research for an answer. the biggest thing is to not supplement the learning experience with ai. meaning, dont turn to ai as soon as you start to struggle. you learn the most where you struggle

[lost pebble]

what's your code?

[ebon trout]

Should I DM it to u

[lost pebble]

just send it here

[ebon trout]

-- Place this as a Server Script (not LocalScript) in ServerScriptService.
-- This script finds ALL Parts named "InvisBallWall" (existing + future ones added dynamically),
-- makes them non-collidable (players walk through),
-- but anchors any Ball-shaped Part that touches any of them.

local function setupWall(wall)
wall.CanCollide = false

wall.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    -- Check if touching object is a Ball (by shape)
    if hit.Shape == Enum.PartType.Ball and not hit.Anchored then
        hit.Anchored = true
        print("Ball anchored at " .. wall.Name .. "!")  -- Debug: mentions which wall
    end
end)

end

-- Setup all existing InvisBallWalls (searches entire Workspace + descendants)
for _, obj in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if obj.Name == "InvisBallWall" and obj:IsA("BasePart") then
setupWall(obj)
end
end

-- Setup any NEW InvisBallWalls added later (e.g., during game)
workspace.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(obj)
if obj.Name == "InvisBallWall" and obj:IsA("BasePart") then
setupWall(obj)
end
end)

There r multiple walls that r needed since its a rectangle pitch

All called InvisBallWall

[red scroll]

ai at its finest

[rare kelp]

i lobr si

[ebon trout]

I have the scripting capability of a fish in all fairness

[rare kelp]

lobster

i love ai

[lost pebble]

honestly, you should just learn how to script if you want to make an actual game. but to answer your question, the ball is probably just bouncing off the wall before it gets anchored or its hitbox isnt the same as it's mesh

[ebon trout]

It’s not a full game it’s just a football project for a league I own but Yh , scripting is gonna be needed down the line

But nah I don’t think that’s the case , thanks for helping tho

[copper spindle]

Excuse can i lend anybody of your time if you finished ?

i will wait

[lost pebble]

btw, using :GetDescendants() on the entire workspace can be very laggy if you have a lot of things in there

[ebon trout]

Wdym by a lot of things , bcuz we r keeping our part count below 4-5k

[lost pebble]

just things parented in the workspace. parts, models, folders, whatever

[ebon trout]

Alright thanks 👌

[lost pebble]

you're welcome

[hazy stump]

how should I know when to restart an area of code, a whole script, or not at all?

[lost pebble]

depends. does the code do what you want? is its performance what you want?

[gritty glacier]

hi. i've been struggling with game design patterns. is there any specific design pattern you recommend?

[hazy stump]

I mean the code is in progress and may do what I want but It's gotten to a point where I'm having trouble understanding a big part of it and working really slowly. It was supposed to be my scripter application script but I'm just having a lot of trouble with it

[copper spindle]

It depends on what game you are developing

[lost pebble]

It sounds like you’re having trouble keeping it readable. Are you separating different logical parts into their own functions?

[copper spindle]

for example, if it's a tycoon game. I suggest you to build a cirular map with 12 bases.

[gritty glacier]

lmao

[copper spindle]

hhmmm ?

That's just an example brother

[hazy stump]

I've been doing that along the way but I've had a lot of trouble with variables that are used throughout functions. It is my first take on phyiscs and harder math so I did expect to run into trouble but progress has slowed and quality is decreasing very fast

[gritty glacier]

could you show us an example of your code?

[hazy stump]

is there a way to send txt files in this channel?

[lost pebble]

Are you not keeping your variables consistent with their use case?

[hazy stump]

In a way, specifically with deltatime, I don't think I understand it enough for how much its used throughout my script

[gritty glacier]

deltatime is just the time since the last frame,
or another way of interpreting it is the difference in time between something

[gritty glacier]

idk.. try sending it in code-help ig

[hazy stump]

I think i'll have to send it in dms, are you ok with that?

[gritty glacier]

yeah

[somber vault]

Hi does anyone know of a good free plugin for rendering tool icons?

[pastel pine]

Just use gimp or some other photoshop alternatives that are fre

[somber vault]

what is gimp

[pastel pine]

Photo editor

It has all the stuff professional photoshop has

But its all fre

[somber vault]

i just want get the image of my tool

not really a complex render

[pastel pine]

Ohhh

[somber vault]

but adjust in the good position/rotation i want

i used viewportframe but idk

[pastel pine]

I think there's a way with custom UI and viewport but your best choice to keep things simple is just to use basic images

[somber vault]

like save to roblox the image tool?

and get the id

[pastel pine]

Yes

[feral plank]

yo what yall think about my dev item

hey i want a scripter to team up with dm me if you ar interested.

[analog gull]

hi guys, im just starting out to become a scripter and am glad to team up with people for learning experience. Currently, I can make basic, like very basic, gui's and some other things. Pls reach out!

[dense spade]

good to know!

[analog gull]

Yes!

[dense spade]

need help u can ask code help but if u want dm me is fine too,i gotta improve my already good knowledge

[analog gull]

yes ofc

[safe yoke]

hi, can someone explain me about Knit? is a VCS Extension for Rojo?

the documentation is somewhat confusing lol

[analog gull]

im srry i would but i have no clue what ur talking about i just started sooo

[safe yoke]

alr

[analog gull]

mb gng

[frail yarrow]

no

its not

[grim furnace]

how can i tell if someone in just using claude to code a game

[analog gull]

look out for basic bugs or systems that seem off or bad..

[grim furnace]

im not a scripter so idrk

heres a screenshot of one of the scripts, i thought -- [[ Ore data structure matching the game design document ]] was suspicious

[analog gull]

did u hire the person?

[grim furnace]

its percentage

but like 49%

[analog gull]

k

[grim furnace]

and im spending a lot of money in ads

so id kinda want someone who doesnt just use like claude + mcp

[analog gull]

this so far looks good but i might be tripping

there definately is help of ai here tho

[grim furnace]

i asked about it and i was just told debugging

[analog gull]

nice

ye i just started out but i have quick learning skills so i can prob help in things

[grim furnace]

ui also looked suspicious to me

since it was made by him not a ui designer

and it kinda looks like how claude does ui if im not mistaken

definitely not the stud style the game is meant to be in

[dense spade]

claude does ui???

[grim furnace]

yes

if u use mcp with it

i think

[dense spade]

well as a scripter,i would never make a ui that good,early in development,ill do placeholders that is changed by an actual designer in future so smth is fishy here

he prob used claude a little bit

also emojis are used,ai does that,i just recently used gemini to code me smth and it used emojis in textlabels,which most normal people wouldnt do

[analog gull]

yes, that's definetly ai

[grim furnace]

all of it was done with a lot of other things in a small period of time

[analog gull]

the transaperncy, the font, the buttons all look like ai

[grim furnace]

asked him to do some work the night before and he sent all this

within a day

[analog gull]

ohh then its valid

i mean uis are easy to change so

[iron kraken]

if it works it works gng

[analog gull]

true

[iron kraken]

if the code is just not maintainable then its cooked

[grim furnace]

yea thats why i dont really wanna work with someone whos only using ai

49% is a big chunk when im paying for all the ads, doing the building, paying for ui, paying for gfx, finding sfx, getting all the ideas, etc.

[iron kraken]

just review his code to see if its good

[grim furnace]

idk what good code looks like man

im a builder/modeler

[storm nacelle]

Hey everyone, I just need some suggestions/guidance before I start writing some code. I have a system in my game where the player can hold 1 weapon in their inventory at a time and attack with that weapon. Pretty much one weapon in their backpack at a time. You can change out what you carry through UI. Each weapon obviously has a different model and does different dmg and has diff animations. There are 10 total weapons. I was wondering what the best way to write this was. Should I use a dictionary? I’m solid at scripting but am still somewhat new and a bit confused by this. Ty

[iron kraken]

hire someone to check if his code is good

[grim furnace]

i dont got that kind of money

why do u think hes on %

🥀

[digital swift]

is using ai to study luau good or bad

like is it smart enough to not give me mistakes on such like math functions

[dense spade]

depends on how you prompt the ai

[civic garnet]

ai should be good at math i think

[digital swift]

i asked it to create notes for me and im writing them down

[dense spade]

i think it can on most math stuff like calculating levels

[civic garnet]

depends on which one u use

[digital swift]

claude

[civic garnet]

i cant really say since i dont really use ai

[dense spade]

try prompting the ai with "As a teacher teach me x"

[digital swift]

yeah i did

[dense spade]

it should be more helpful that way

yea then i guess ur ok

also use roblox documentation,they made it better now and most things are easy to understand

[analog gull]

yes

[dense spade]

even roblox made some tutorial videos

[analog gull]

and ofcourse use youtube

I like BrawlDevs videos

[dense spade]

read ur own code line by line and imagine what it does while the game is running,that way you can visualise the game structure and find bugs faster

best u can do is just jump straight into making a simple game so u get challenged every day about a new bug

[analog gull]

thats exaclty what i did to make a main menu screen wiht absolutly no experience

[analog gull]

so real

[dense spade]

coding is better learned by doing than learning

[analog gull]

frfr

1. Try it out

[dense spade]

i just watched alvinblox playlist in 2x speed and jump straight into making an obby,thats how i learned

[civic garnet]

i wouldnt do this

[dense spade]

it worked for me

[analog gull]

why so?

[dense spade]

i just kept asking people in devforum anytime something goes wrong

[civic garnet]

id start with learning lua first then once i have a basic understanding start making systems using the roblox documentation and articles (devforum and other things)

[analog gull]

1. try it out, 2. Try solving, 3. Watch video, and lastly 4. use ai

[dense spade]

yea i think it worked for me cuz i already have a base foundation in scratch and understood how programming works

[analog gull]

thats what i did, i used codecademy for the basics like functions and then started in roblox studios

[dense spade]

what are u making rn

[gaunt sphinx]

In many tutorials, I see people use cloning to make multiple UI's of similar things, but is there any benefit to that instead of just creating the UI multiple times yourself in studio? (for example, a shop UI that has many multiple healing purchases available)

[digital swift]

its faster and easier but harder to maintain

[gaunt sphinx]

which option?

I guess with cloning, it's easy to make any updates and such by simply using a table in a modulescript, as the UI will auto update for you.

[digital swift]

cloning

[digital swift]

yeah if you use modules its easier

[gaunt sphinx]

But if I'm simply making a UI that I know will never change even across updates, I might as well just create it versus cloning right?

[digital swift]

well yeah the purpose of cloning the ui is to automate things like cloning everytime a player has a new item in their inventory ect imo

[gaunt sphinx]

mhm mhm, I use cloning for sure for my skins inventory

[ivory helm]

yo If I learned python then lua would it be easier?

[civic garnet]

why not just learn lua first

[gaunt sphinx]

Knowing any kind of programming helps, as many things you can make connections. I personally find Python the most intuitive programming language, but if you want to learn Lua, just start with Lua, no need to learn Python first.

[ivory helm]

I can't find any good video on yt for lua

[ivory helm]

I'm struggling to find good videos for it

[gaunt sphinx]

The thing with Lua is it's very specifically a game designing language, so you need to find tutorials on building certain aspects of the game.

It's tough to just start Lua without a goal in mind.

[ivory helm]

yeah that's the annoying part

[civic garnet]

you dont need tutorials on everything

just learn the basics and learn the roblox api

[gaunt sphinx]

If he's brand new how else is he supposed to learn..?

[civic garnet]

by watching the basics of the language then referring to the roblox api

(roblox documentation)

[gaunt sphinx]

ma brother that is a tutorial

[ivory helm]

how do I do that?

[gaunt sphinx]

Tutorial by definition is "explanation of a subject or task, especially as an online video"

😭

[civic garnet]

watch brawldev's lua playlist then learn what signals are and finally use the roblox api to help you further

[ivory helm]

bro everyone says brawldev

I've tried that and hasn't worked for me

[civic garnet]

use whatever tutorial you want, you just have to learn the basics of the language

[fickle flame]

type gore from a public api I'm making

[gaunt sphinx]

Question, have you programmed in any language ever before? and if so, which?

[ivory helm]

I tried learning python from a book for 2 weeks then I stopped

i was progressing in it more than lua

[gaunt sphinx]

The ten basic things I'd first learn in Lua is:
Variables
If/Else statements
Functions
Tables
Loops (for/while)
Events
RemoteEvents/RemoteFunctions
localscript vs modulescript vs serverscript
Understand local vs global variables/functions
and Roblox Services (specifically since I assume you want to code in roblox)

The first 5 should be pretty easy to grasp if you've already done a little python

[civic garnet]

remote events/remove functions, script types, roblox services are all part of roblox api and arent part of the basics of lua

[gaunt sphinx]

Yeah I'm talking specifics to roblox

This is a roblox scripting discord server, I assumed he'd want help with roblox specific lua programming

[civic garnet]

i feel like to a beginner, roblox throws a whole lotta shit at you at first

[ivory helm]

alright do you got any resources I should use?, I'm just trying to make a game not do commisions

[civic garnet]

id learn base lua first

then learn the difference between server/client and what module scripts are

remoteevents/remotefunctions

then roblox services

[gaunt sphinx]

Like butter said, the roblox API gives you all the info you need, but it's really hard to understand at first.

Honestly, the way I learned, and most people will refute this-

I watched tutorials on specific things I wanted to build, such as "How to make a Main Menu appear" "How to make a gamepass shop" "How to make a currency system" and read through their code, trying to understand how it worked.

[ivory helm]

I'll try this

[gaunt sphinx]

But when I did that, I made sure not to just copy and paste code, I wrote each line down, understanding line by line what each line did

Otherwise, you end up making a game with no clue how it works.

but yeah IMO, the best way is to just start throwing stuff into a script and seeing what works and what doesnt lmfao

[ivory helm]

alright

thank you so much man

[gaunt sphinx]

yeah ofc np

[vast steppe]

anyone have a good library for big numbers? my friend had some issues with BigInteger, so i was wondering if anyone can suggest any better alternatives

[slate delta]

Hey everyone

[neon grove]

hey

[slate delta]

I have a question

[neon grove]

?

[slate delta]

I want to learn scripting and I have learn all the basics

[neon grove]

nice

[slate delta]

But I am not sure how to learn more

Ir to create something on my own

Or*

I don't want to watch YouTube tutorials

To make a game

I want to make a game but I don't know what systems it requires

[neon grove]

how long have you been scripting for?

[slate delta]

Can't really say that because I just learn it and practiced but I haven't made any game on my own

[neon grove]

well

[slate delta]

I do know how the basics works but when I try to implement them, I get confused or find my self lost because I am not sure what to implement

[neon grove]

oh

then practice

keep practicing

wait

can you this

like

when the player touches a part

[slate delta]

How and what things should I make? I don't even know how to make a tycoon game then how can I practice on it?

[neon grove]

it print

hello on the output

[slate delta]

Yeah

[neon grove]

make an obby

[slate delta]

Already accomplished that one

[neon grove]

well

im also new to scripting

so i don't know

what tips

i should give

[slate delta]

Well

Right now, I am a professional builder but I want to learn scripting to make my own game

[neon grove]

ooo

nice

ive been trying to learn

how to build

but

it's too hard

😭

[lost pebble]

instead of thinking of making an entire game, make little parts that make up the whole game. instead of trying to make a tycoon game, make a dropper that drops a part when clicked. then have that part have value. then make a conveyor to make the part travel from one spot to another. you get the point

[neon grove]

this is the only thing i can build

[neon grove]

absolute facts

[shy cipher]

you should make small cool stuff like a phone that pops up when your press a button with apps on it

you can generate enough skill to make a full game if you keep doing this

[shy cipher]

that's called tutorial hell, it's when you learn from other people doing the scripting and not by you doing the scripting. it happens when you watch yt videos, understand, and sit blank on the script editor

[slate delta]

Ikr!!! I tried doing that and quickly realized that this is not how it should be!

[slate delta]

And how am I going to know what type of things it requires and how to implement them?

[shy cipher]

you first need a basic understanding of the ins-and-outs of scripting, by then you can figure it out most of the time

it's better to implement a dumb workaround and then discover a better way to do it

and google exists too

[slate delta]

What is that and how can I?

[shy cipher]

you should start with understanding the bigger picture

it's nice to know roblox's whole architecture and why it's like that

roblox uses C++ as a host language for the engine and luau as a scripting language

well it helps you understand most of the fancy words programmers toss around like stack memory and heap memory

I think that way the scripting tutorials make more sense

[neon grove]

how do i make ui fade in and fade out?

[lost pebble]

use TweenService

[neon grove]

like this?

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(
  --whatever i want to put


  )

i only remember this part of the script

i forgot the rest

since i took a 3 month break from scripting

[lost pebble]

then you make a new tween with TweenService:Create()

and specify the arugments, of course

[shy cipher]

@neon grove

[slate delta]

I do know C language

[shy cipher]

I'm learning it

[slate delta]

But I can make calculators or receipts at most rn

[shy cipher]

luau has been pretty much purely made in C++, so if you know that language then learning roblox scripting is just a matter of learning the syntax

[zenith drift]

thats not how that works lmfao

luau is a garbage collected language and doesnt have native oop

its not even remotely close to cpp

[shy cipher]

no I'm saying like a lot of the stuff is similar

[zenith drift]

and that stuff is what lol

[sacred widget]

he's right for the wrong reason, learning a complex language in general helps you build mental models of how programming intricacies work,

and since these concepts are universal you can adapt to any language relatively easy

[uncut basalt]

[covert creek]

Huh

Gave me code

[hazy imp]

I think all my games got deleted

mass deleted...

[covert creek]

Bro it's internet problem

[hazy imp]

did u make a copy of the game?

[hazy imp]

no 👍

I've spent so long on this game

[woven gazelle]

how to does I fix? this?

why does not work?

[safe yoke]

You need put this in ServerScriptService bro

while true do
local FIX = Instance.new('Part')
FIX.Name = 'FixError'
FIX.Parent = workspace
end



--(dont try this code lol your pc will explode)

[woven gazelle]

thank your

it work

[safe yoke]

Excelent

can someone send me a scripting toturial pls

[dense spade]

there are many on youtube bro

with like full playlist from everythjng u need to know

[lofty kiln]

i want the best

am new

i dont want to select bad road take my time

[dense spade]

all are good

just make sure to see the uploaded date

dont make too old

[lofty kiln]

ok thank you

[warm oasis]

can somebody who knows about the developer console (f9) pls join my game and find out whats lagging it so bad i need to fix it soon

people are leaving my game bc its laggy

[lofty kiln]

ask ai

[warm oasis]

i don't know what script is lagging it so bad

[dense spade]

check the memory,prob memroy leak somewhere

[warm oasis]

u want me to send my whole game to ai😭

[dense spade]

see which script using most memory

[lofty kiln]

no

[lofty kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/no-nah-nope-eat-finger-wag-gif-16788625

[warm oasis]

i can't figure it out💔 it doesn't look like anything has more than the usual amount of memory usage

[dense spade]

too many parts?

[warm oasis]

idk maybe

could you join and check the dev console? game name 🔥Leaderboards

[dense spade]

sure

[warm oasis]

thank u sm

[dense spade]

the game name is "Leaderboards"?

[warm oasis]

ya

theres a fire emoji

[dense spade]

dont have

just send me the link in dm

[zenith trellis]

yo i want to make horror game with "house" location. any ideas or mchanics what should i add to make it way more interesting?

[dense spade]

a hut in the middle of the forest like gravity falls

then make like a hunting for diff ghosts kinda game

while escaping the house by fixing the car

[copper spindle]

Make a game in which the players travel through dungeons, fighting monsters and realize that it's their dream at the end of the game

[dense spade]

"it was all a dream" most horrible ending in all types of media

[zenith trellis]

did bro slep while taking a shit

[cobalt apex]

almost literally to no experience in ui I made this

the thing is its made inside roblox studio

not figma or anything

[modest canyon]

what's a better form of handling a combat system
boolvalues in a client folder, player attributes or tables of some sort

ive tried making a modular attribute based combat system but i always have problems with parts of scripts overriding other parts, i havent tried boolvalue becus i assume it'd not be ideal for performance and i havent done tables as yet (altho i think it'd be similar to attributes)
i jus would like to hear some recommendations off of other people's experiences

[weary socket]

You need one singular state manager to manage the value of your boolean values, attributes and other state. Call methods on this manager from any script to trigger a state transition. Use module scripts to create and manage Manager objects. You can use OOP for this or not.

[warm flicker]

dm me if you are a scripter looking to join a dev group :D

[grim mortar]

bro this is crazy i had this bug and this fixed itnperfectly

[regal anvil]

does anyone know why animations are not showing for other players but for myself it is

didnt make the script but i need a fix and didnt find it.

[austere cedar]

how long would it take me to learn luau from scratch if i know cpp and java

[primal python]

if you know cpp and java, you barely need to learn anything

[austere cedar]

syntax

[primal python]

like only thing you might want to memorize api, if you already was working with some frameworks in cpp or java, you need maybe 1 week at max you will be able to code same

[austere cedar]

oh bet ty

[primal python]

luau syntax?

if you were learning java and cpp, its like 10% of their syntax

[austere cedar]

fair enough

[primal python]

luau overall

[austere cedar]

ty goat

[primal python]

idk why you decide after all to learn luau if you already work with them

[austere cedar]

i wanna try roblox

tiktok propaganda motivated me

[primal python]

because mostly you either dont want to fully get into coding and choose higher level language or it was your 1st language

[primal python]

yeah idk, if you already worked in industry with cpp and java there is 0 reason to hop off over roblox

especially if game dev

you can literally start with unreal

[austere cedar]

reason is income

roblox devs make way more

[primal python]

roblox income curve is even worse than in other industries

[austere cedar]

in my area game devs make like a lot less compared to for example backend devs etc

[hasty stratus]

Hey guys im struggling with a certain script topic

whats the difference between character and player?

[primal python]

1% makes 99%, if you arent gonna be 1% you gonna make way less than any full time gme dev everywhere else

Like each industry has one problems, you can try, but dont bet on roblox, its like one of worst bets nowadays

Own*

[austere cedar]

alr tysm

[primal python]

yeah just dont build expectations out of tik tok video

[buoyant goblet]

what does !strict mean

[primal python]

its for strict typechecking

[hasty stratus]

hope someone can help

[buoyant goblet]

alr

ty

[primal python]

player is instance inside Players service its abstract, character is model which spawns after player joins its physical

[hasty stratus]

alrighty thanks

[ember creek]

Question, how do i learn basic coding? Like some tips could help

[primal python]

same as normal learning

[ember creek]

I mean where do i start.

Atleast

[primal python]

basic coding itself isnt hard and id wont separate coding on basic or advanced but like on how confident you are

[primal python]

well however its comfortable for you, like many people started including me with youtube tutorials

Just overtime tutorials became useless for me I either make stuff I need myself or read books for additional knowledge

thats why its called tutorial hell, because spending time in tutorials lacks confidence but helps building it

[tepid rapids]

guys can anyone view my portof piece and view my works: https://roblox-systemsv2.vercel.app/
core: combat system with block, state service, input handling, hitbox detection , dash, animation integration , poison applied with vfx.
wave manager: wave system infinite game loop: lobbyt --> arena --> spawn n number of waves --> detect win log it --> lobby loop
npc have movemnt system, npc factory spawns npc handles that logic.

jus give me review of wht u think

[tepid rapids]

brawldev scriopting basic and advanced series i think i started there

[primal python]

the hardest part in coding is gaining confidence

because your real confidence represents your skill

[tepid rapids]

watch tutorial, make systems, tweak data on ur own till u understand its workflow and can create something similar, if u cant watch more tutorials and try to work on ur own after completing it

[primal python]

but its achievable just if you wont drop it ig

[ember creek]

I was wondering what will be the best way to make a healthbar with the usage of roact?
What I have in mind is having the healthbar component, having a rodux store and having a healthbar controller

the controller will listen to health changes and will update the store's state accordingly (lets say it will update health and maxHealth in the rodux store state) and via roactrodux, the healthbar component will get updated accordingly

Another way I saw people do it is put all the listening and reacting logic inside the healthbar component itself

Does anyone know what's better? or if there is an even better way to do this

thanks in advance

u overcomplicating ts

just use a red bar and make it scale based on your current health

[crystal oak]

how can i make it that not some random kohls admin commands script pops up on my game?

[short ingot]

and im asking on what will be the better way to do that, the way I structure it in my project...

not the logic behind it..

[bitter harbor]

tweenservice attributes

and roact idk

[short ingot]

once again, not the code behind it, but the way I structure my code...

[bitter harbor]

you are new to scripting?

[short ingot]

uhh not really

a couple of years

and once again, im not asking for the logic behind the "healtbar" but the way I would structure it, there is a huge difference

[warm flicker]

anyone wanna join my dev group :D

[bitter harbor]

local script

[short ingot]

the way I would structure the code... actually you know what, dont overwhlem yourself with the thinking

[bitter harbor]

just do it the normal way

[bitter harbor]

a update function

to update the health

then

humanoid event

and fire the function

[short ingot]

yeah, you dont understand my question

it is alright

just leave it

[cloud snow]

quick question how much does it cost to build a full phone system with apps like, bank,gps, food delvery job, uber etc i dont know how much things like that cost

[jovial hatch]

Might wanna go to devs for hire be ause it depends on the scripter themselves (how they price it)

Roact is deprecated and Reactlua should be used instead

[short ingot]

used both. i dislike reactlua

[deft coral]

Well you're shooting yourself in the foot

[short ingot]

i dont see any benefits of using reactlua

[deft coral]

The rest of the industry doesn't use it (i hate reactlua be aware)

And its no longer updated

Atp just use nothing

[short ingot]

still roact has way wider community than reactlua

[deft coral]

Idk where you got that information lol

Reactlua is the successor to roacr

Roact

Everyone switched over awhile ago

[short ingot]

been out for way longer + ive used dex on way too many games and none used reactlua but roact (on games which used ui frameworks, counting only between them 2)

[short ingot]

eh i might look into reactlua more but ive used it for a couple of projects and didnt notice any benefits

Just sounds dumb everyone structures their code different and might have different habits on how they structure their code.

[high crag]

Can anyone give me any advices

i been scripting for the past 2 months

[gritty laurel]

do yall got any advice to a person who wanna become a dev?

[ruby shore]

Take it slowly

Don't do all at the same time

focus on one thing

then another

Don't try to do all at the same time

[gritty laurel]

what if i forget things?

[ruby shore]

Listen

When u are watching tutorial, take notes

and immediatly after that tutorial go to Roblox Studio

and use that information to make something

then when u watch next tutorial

try to combine it with the another one

And TAKE NOTES!!!

[gritty laurel]

thanks man

im gonna try my best

i wanna make a hood game

it sounds fun

[ruby shore]

its gonna be hard man

theres no easy paths

[gritty laurel]

wdym

what can be easier

[ruby shore]

Don't expect to be "pro" in 7 Days

many devs overburn with tutorials and give up
