how long can it take?

do you own a game?

[ruby shore]

Nah , i am making just systems rn practicing everysingle day

By making ability or some function

but i am implementing every course

[gritty laurel]

how long have you been doing that

[ruby shore]

i bought or every tutorial i watched

Well listen i been in roblox studio for over a year i gived up so many times

but this past 2 months i been grinding

and i learned 1000% more

then the past 1 year

[gritty laurel]

what game will you make?

[ruby shore]

i love Anime Genre

but probabbly first some money grab game

[gritty laurel]

like so you get money?

why do people do like this when they do games

[deft coral]

The english in here is hilarious

[iron kraken]

because they are evil and greedy

[deft coral]

Honestly admirable

[gritty laurel]

first they do like south london then south london 2 then south london remastered

for better graphics?

[glass briar]

Hello guys

could yall help me script/fix this coin thingy

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Players)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = Players
local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
cash.Name = "Cash"
cash.Parent = leaderstats
cash.Value = 0

local coin = game.Workspace.Coin


coin.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
    local humanoid = otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if humanoid then
        wait(1)
        cash.Value = cash.Value + 1
        wait(1)
        coin:Destroy()

    end
end)

end)

it keeps like giving the player lots of coins when ever the player touch it

i only want it to give 1 coin

[mortal steppe]

Anyone can help me how can i learn scripting

[ember creek]

maybe try removing the wait(1) after the cash.value=chas.value + 1

if humanoid then
wait(1)
cash.Value = cash.Value + 1
coin:Destroy()

    end
end)

end)

smthing like ts

[pallid hull]

Anyone here specialise in making advanced combat systems I have a question about them

[glass briar]

I tried it keeps getting like a whole bunch of coins🥲

[ember creek]

oh then last thing i know is just removing all the wait(1).

if that doesnt work then sorry idk

[glass briar]

Ahh okay ty for the help tho

[sleek sapphire]

Isn’t it because there isn’t a debounce? I could be wrong but wouldn’t every part in the player have the potential to active that one coin?

[glass briar]

Oh yea you're right

[ember creek]

Oh yeah could be that

[glass briar]

How would I use the denounce never used it before

[sleek sapphire]

Well a debounce is just a term, what I might do is have a table of the active coins and when ever a player first touches them, get rid of it from the table. Since you can then implement another if check to make sure that the coin hasn't been "used up"

This would ensure that lets say the torso can't activate it again if maybe the arm touched it

Since you already removed it from the table

[glass briar]

Ahhh okay

[glass briar]

Appreciate boss

[cloud snow]

so the data sort in my game exploded can anyone help me😂

[hard garden]

hey

[regal salmon]

[spark orchid]

Should I make my own SoftShutdown System or rely on the roblox restart servers?

[idle thistle]

does anyone know how to implement the cmdr api an a roblox game and then add your own commands to it

[ember nimbus]

read docs bro

https://eryn.io/Cmdr/ smh

"does anyone know" yeah the docs

[idle thistle]

i have i dont undersatnd it

my brain isnt braining its like on another level of stupid

[silver verge]

it tells you exactly what to do

where are you stuck

[heady vale]

1 second is a very large amount of time for code to run, so in the future you should use task.wait() since that's around 1/60th of a second or 1 frame

[molten jackal]

atp make ya own

roblox shutdown system is cheeks

[icy dew]

I've not had a problem with the Roblox restart server system. I've heard it used to be bad

[spiral jungle]

It used to be

But you should still have your own soft shutdown script

Cause Roblox just kicks everyone and asks them to rejoin

So if your player’s in the middle of something and they just get kicked they might lose progress on something

And also instead of kicking and asking to rejoin you can just teleport them to a new server instead of letting Roblox handling it

[spark orchid]

I looked at the softshutdown2 module and it said it was broken

[twilit steeple]

does anybody know any read only properties of any instance?

[hasty mesa]

indexing will get you the properties first

then the children

t[prop]

[fallow jay]

guys what do yall think: can gimmick games still do a bit even nowadays? (ex: 1 robux = something)

chat is this good?

im a begginer

[shy cipher]

why are you naming a single player "Players"?

also. your wait(1) doesn't do what you think it does. the character has multiple parts, and the reason why the player gets a lot of coins from touching it "once" is because a lot of character parts are touching the coin at a time. the wait(1) only makes that happen a second later. what you need is a cooldown on the coin, not a wait. if you want it to be a once-only thing, you can either add a "pickedUp" boolean or store the Touched event connection and disconnect it when the first valid part is detected

[lethal yoke]

he coould use task.wait

[shy cipher]

you shouldn't recreate the FOV tweens every time you want to zoom out the camera, that's bad for performance and also not DRY (don't repeat yourself). instead of making a new tween every single time leftcontrol is pressed, create the tween outside of the InputBegan event function

[lethal yoke]

Hmm ok

So should I js remove the bottom one

[shy cipher]

a lot of data leaks here too. you make a lot of tweens while the older tweens are still in memory, I think the GC (garbage collector) does trash them after a while (as it does with variables you can't access anymore) but there's another thing it won't trash. you make an InputEnded event connection every time you press leftcontrol, this creates a lot of inputended connections that will stay there forever and hog up the memory and potentially create race conditions (which are known for crashing your script in "one in a million" chances)

move the InputEnded outside of the InputBegan

[shy cipher]

you should create the tweens once outside of the functions and store them in the outermost scope (basically where you defined Userinputservice), this way you can reuse the same old tweens without being harsh on memory

move the InputEnded outside of InputBegan so there's only ONE event connection, not 10.

[lethal yoke]

For me being a beginner i didnt understand jack

[shy cipher]

also, @lethal yoke since you're a new scripter I should tell you to be more careful with data leaks. we consider something to be a "data leak" when it becomes data that you can't access anymore but it's still in memory (it's wasting space) and eventually, data leaks can crash the server from lack of memory

[shy cipher]

it's a programmer flex to talk about things newer programmers don't know

lmk if you need help tho

[exotic phoenix]

for whatever reason my raycast doesnt work after I add parameters to filter out my map

            local function AssignSpawnPoint()
                for _, i in pairs(self.ChestSpawns) do
                    if i:HasTag("Occupied") then continue end
                    i:AddTag("Occupied")
                    
                    
                    return i.CFrame
                end
            end

            local spawnLocation = AssignSpawnPoint()
            local origin = Chest.PrimaryPart.Position + Vector3.new(0,20,0)
            local direction = Vector3.new(0,-100,0)
            local size = Chest:GetExtentsSize()
            local halfHeight = size.Y / 2
            local params = RaycastParams.new()
            params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
            params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {
                self.Map
            }
            
            print(self.Map.Parent)
            
            local raycast = workspace:Raycast(origin,direction,params)

            end

[lethal yoke]

Ok ill do tmw its 6 am

[shy cipher]

did you make a visualiser to see where your rays are going?

[exotic phoenix]

nope I'm on that now

[shy cipher]

what does printing the raycast's result.Instance show? if it's nil then it's probably shooting at the skybox

[exotic phoenix]

its exactly nil

It's weird because its only doing that after I put a filtered list of instances it can only collide with

[shy cipher]

I think it's because self.Map is probably a model (a container) and not a physical part or mesh

[exotic phoenix]

yeah it is a container but from what I know filter lists allow that no?

anyway I tried using descending instances (:GetChildren) but it also didnt work

[shy cipher]

may be so, I'll check out the documentation

[exotic phoenix]

YOO

[shy cipher]

:GetChildren() returns a table, I don't think raycast params is sensible enough to support nested tables (tables inside tables) so you should try removing the children from the table and inserting them

[exotic phoenix]

I REMOVED THE PARAMS AND ITS IN A COMPLETELY NEW LOCATION

the issue at hand might be different from what I originally thought

[exotic phoenix]

I'll figure it out and get back to you pookie

thanks for help

[shy cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/shonli-black-man-in-suit-black-gif-3928070010787101589

[exotic phoenix]

how are you suggesting I insert them

create another table and insert all of the parts into it just to then pass it onto params?

[shy cipher]

no need to overcomplicate it, you could simply remove the {} and instead do self.Map:GetChildren() to stop it from enclosing the children into a table in the first place

because GetChildren() already gives you a table

[exotic phoenix]

yeah I did that b4

it also didnt work

[shy cipher]

but you sure that your rays are going where you want them to go

[exotic phoenix]

heh, yeah.

works like a charm.

😼

[shy cipher]

must be because of getextentssize

[exotic phoenix]

its js the params

I'm adjusting them rn

• the calculations

wait no you're running that on the chest and not the map mb

Well it isn’t that organised

[mighty bolt]

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local part = script.Parent

local lastPosition = part.Position

-- Velocity uppdate
RunService.Stepped:Connect(function(_, deltaTime)
local currentPosition = part.Position
local deltaPosition = currentPosition - lastPosition
part.AssemblyLinearVelocity = deltaPosition / deltaTime
lastPosition = currentPosition
end)

--
local sides = {
Vector3.new(0, 0, -10), -- forward
Vector3.new(0, 10, 0), -- upp
Vector3.new(0, 0, 10), -- back
Vector3.new(0, -10, 0), -- down
}

while true do
for _, offset in ipairs(sides) do
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
local tween = TweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, {CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.new(offset)})
tween:Play()
tween.Completed:Wait() -- vänta tills tweenen är klar innan nästa sida

swedish

[chilly canyon]

makes the part move and the personv on the block will move with it and not fall off

[chilly canyon]

Cool

[lilac turtle]

You should really avoid while true do loops. At least ones without a task.wait. Also, no need to do ipairs(sides). Luau can decide how to iterate through a table itself.

[shy bronze]

how should i handle fps guns? do i give the server the origin and the direction and let the server handle the rest? (i want to achieve smooth shooting like most fps games)

[mighty bolt]

is while true do loops bad in ur opinions?

[lilac turtle]

Yeah. Most of the time you can do it with events / RunService

and while true loops are just dangerous

[mighty bolt]

oh how

[lilac turtle]

Go in a script now and write

while true do 
  print("Hi");
end

and run the game

[mighty bolt]

the game js crashed.......

wow

[lilac turtle]

Afaik anything that involves combat goes quite in depth. You cannot just give the server the origin and direction and let it handle the rest because that'll lead to highly inaccurate if the player's ping is high. You gotta do a bunch of complicated prediction to make it feels smooth or let the clients handle it, which is dangerous because of exploiters.

I'm not experienced though so take it with a grain of salt.

[lilac turtle]

Really?

[mighty bolt]

Yep

can you tell me honestly if you would click on the play button if you saw this game

[vagrant saddle]

An API https://inventory.roblox.com/

[ruby kite]

i'd be honest? i wouldn't
why because well i haven't played in roblox experiences a lot

[vagrant saddle]

For some reason when i use the api with v1/users/(userid)/collectables it dosent works

[fallow jay]

;

ok

[ruby kite]

but if i was a brainrotted kid or a man trying to play games for fun then I would

[fallow jay]

alr

[fallow jay]

so you're implying that you're not a man but a fish

[ruby kite]

no im caseoh

[fallow jay]

you just gave me an idea

since my game is about investing in tons

i will add caseoh as a gamepass

[ruby kite]

it's
v1/users/{userId}/assets/collectibles not collectables

[ruby kite]

fr

[fallow jay]

this game is an unserious one btw

not for monetization but uh

goofy

[ruby kite]

caseoh should be robbing those tonz if needed

[vagrant saddle]

Youre right, I did used that but it gives me error either "HTTP 401" or that i dont have access to use it

I reseached it but it say i need somekind of cookies?

I seriously dont know, I really need help

[ruby kite]

You need to use proxies

I'm sure you're not using proxies to access it. By default those APIs are blocked to access from yourself

                else
                    SpeedOrderedStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, statValue)
                end
            end)

and then displaying:

        if leaderboard.Name == "Cash" then
            Temp.ValueLabel.Text = Abbreviate.Abbreviate(playerData.value * 10^100)
        else

is this what you meant by 

create the tweens once outside of the functions and store them in the outermost scope (basically where you defined Userinputservice), this way you can reuse the same old tweens without being harsh on memory And to move the InputEnded outside of InputBegan so there's only ONE event connection, not 10.

Someone help me figure out how to function viewmodel

[ruby kite]

luau data memory pointer values can only accept 64 double precision floating points

so if you're going with this you should use an external library that handles the values and mashes it into bytes. Like that much value is equal to 1 KB, with an external library? 6 bytes. you use the library to translate that data such as 1.5e1000 something, and rewrite that as a string. Then you update the datastore with JSONEncode

[sly stream]

I am not familiar with external libraries what do you mean by that?

[ruby kite]

use PreRender and every frame, you change it's CFrame to the current cframe of the mouse multiplied to the camera's cframe

if you have offset problems simply multiply it by the vector that it's having problems with

[ruby kite]

What I mean is that modules that handle your stuff.

[sly stream]

ohh do you know any specific one that handles such big numbers?

game ideas?

[vivid sable]

its about attaching my gun and making a animination for the arms

fps game

[ruby kite]

Sure I guess its
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/infinitemath-go-above-103081e308/2182434/2

I'm not sure I haven't used any of these modules yet. You can find a lot of them in community resources of DevForum

[ruby kite]

well, I already told you how to attach your arms and update it's CFrame every single frame

[vivid sable]

how about funtion it in game

[ruby kite]

for animations you can just make an AnimationController, inside Animator inside your viewmodel and animate it. Kinda how rigs work

[shy cipher]

you got it 👍

[fallow jay]

YO i wanna test my game for any bugs can someone volunteer?

[sullen island]

would anyone check out my hunting game mechanics and tell me if they look nice

[ruby kite]

It's literally client processing objects on your screen. You just code and add effects to it. Not a big thing. Rest goes to Server, and effects, stuff is Client

[vivid sable]

I CAN DO EVERYTHING JUST NOT CODING

[mighty bolt]

guys how did I even get the "skill" role

[shy cipher]

I used to play idleon, what the game did was do conversion of comical amounts of digits to "currencies" that were worth more and compute the zeroes to append to at the end of the number string

[ruby kite]

then learn to code?.. its literally code discussion not ask for free code

[shy cipher]

hi can I buy code for 10 pesos per line

made a variable to see if they're sprinting
and  a function that updates it and runs it once when u start, and runs it when move direction is changed

@shy cipher

[shy cipher]

not how I would have done it. you don't really need to know if the player is sprinting, you just need to know when the keybind for sprint was pressed and unpressed (which the event connections are already doing). I would have made a function that zoomed in or out and played the corresponding animation depending on a boolean state. make the function run when the key's pressed and set the walkspeed, same for InputEnded but this time set to default walkspeed and the function state set to false. you can't really have race conditions here, you can't press leftcontrol again while leftcontrol is held so you don't need a separate isSprinting variable for safety. you can't leave leftcontrol if you don't have it pressed too.. so this has unnecessary complexity

u can use BigNum

its not very practicle tho if im being honest

[shy bronze]

i made a thick bullet with hitbox, but how can i verify the shot and prevent exploits?

[vagrant saddle]

Could you tell me more

[glass goblet]

yo can anyone help out with ts

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local char = game.Workspace.qqqq
local br = char:FindFirstChild("folder")
print("found it")
local bq = br:FindFirstChildOfClass("Texture")
print("br")
print(bq.Parent.Name)

end)

im trying to get the name of the part without directly referencing it

[azure coral]

friendly reminder to check your recieve bandwidth to make sure its not like this game over here

(over 50KB/s is when stuff becomes more and more laggy)

[round rapids]

FindFirstChild("Folder")?

[glass goblet]

.

This was just a small test script I made for troubleshooting

All the models will have different names

[round rapids]

so different models on the same folder?

[glass goblet]

Not really lemme explain a bit better

[glass goblet]

I’m trying to get the name of the part without reference the part so I can’t put folder.part

In the actual gae

Game*

Instead of part it would be the name of the model

Now I wanna know the name of the model so I can display it or Smt

But it could be any one of the models in the game

[round rapids]

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local char = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("qqqq")
    local folder = char:FindFirstChild("Folder")

    if folder then
        local texture = folder:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Texture", true)

        if texture then
            print(texture.Parent.Name)
        end
    end
end)``` smth like this?

[glass goblet]

Yep

so instead of “findfirstchild”

I used descendent

Cuz yk the texture is in a part

And that doesn’t work

There is no error

[round rapids]

isDescendent checks if something is inside of a part like it doesent help find the actual object that your looking for or get its name automaticcly

automatically

[glass goblet]

So before it was a texture

I made it a bool value

And tried to find the first descent with that name

And set that to a variable like br

Now I tired br.parent

But it doesn’t work

[round rapids]

IsDescentdent those is not for finding actual objects and getting its properties

it only returns like a boolean you need to use FIndFirstChildWhichIsA() instead

[glass goblet]

Problem is

It’s not a child of the folder

Would it still work?

[elder plover]

I need an answer guys.
I started making this game right and coded some of the game mechanics like Ore mining and stuff like that (resources gathering mechanic) but i was wondering should i build my game environment first then start coding it or no (what makes the process faster later on)
(i am a beginner into coding so that's why i am asking)

[round rapids]

if its not a child of folder than local texture = folder:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Texture", true) will return nothing

[glass goblet]

I usually code basic environmental features first then work on the map

It’s just preference tho for me

[glass goblet]

Yep

How do I get the properties

Of the texture

Like the parent

So we have folder with a part

With a texture

Now I wanna get to the part without calling its name

[elder plover]

I see, so for example i have a plot system in my game each player has a plot should i just make the plot spots and build around it so it stays as it is ?

[wet herald]

I just coded my profile store and the leaderstats isnt showing up does anyone know why?

local function Initialize(player: Player, profile: typeof(PlayersStore:StartSessionAsync()))

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

local money = Instance.new("NumberValue", leaderstats)
money.Name = "Money"
money.Value = profile.Data.Money

local rebirth = Instance.new("NumberValue", leaderstats)
rebirth.Name = "Rebirth"
rebirth.Value = profile.Data.Rebirth

ReplicatedStorage.events.UpdateMoney:FireClient(player, profile.Data.Money)
ReplicatedStorage.events.UpdateRebirths:FireClient(player, profile.Data.Rebirth)

end

[glass goblet]

Yes you could do that

[elder plover]

1. The "Race Condition" (Most Likely)
   When you use Players.PlayerAdded, your script might start running after you have already joined the game (especially in Studio). If the player joins before the PlayerAdded connection is established, the code never runs for you.

The Fix: Wrap your logic in a loop to catch players who are already there.

Lua
local function OnPlayerAdded(player)
-- Your Profile loading logic here
local profile = PlayersStore:LoadProfileAsync("Player_"..player.UserId)
if profile then
Initialize(player, profile)
end
end

-- Connect the event
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerAdded)

-- ALSO run it for players already in the server
for _, player in game.Players:GetPlayers() do
task.spawn(OnPlayerAdded, player)
end
2. Case Sensitivity
Roblox is extremely picky about the name. It must be exactly "leaderstats" (all lowercase).

"Leaderstats" (Uppercase L) — Will not work.

"leaderStats" (CamelCase) — Will not work.

Your code currently uses leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats", which is correct, but double-check that there isn't a typo in your actual script.

3. Profile Loading Failure
   If PlayersStore:StartSessionAsync() (or LoadProfileAsync) fails or takes too long, your Initialize function never gets called.

Check your Output window: Do you see any errors related to DataStores?

Add a Print: Add print("Initializing " .. player.Name) at the very top of your function. If it doesn't print, the problem is with how you're calling the function, not the folder creation itself.

Pro-Tip: Parenting Order
As mentioned before, it's better to parent the folder after you've put the values inside it. This ensures the leaderboard doesn't try to render an empty folder first.

Lua
local function Initialize(player: Player, profile: any)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

local money = Instance.new("NumberValue")
money.Name = "Money"
money.Value = profile.Data.Money
money.Parent = leaderstats

local rebirth = Instance.new("NumberValue")
rebirth.Name = "Rebirth"
rebirth.Value = profile.Data.Rebirth
rebirth.Parent = leaderstats

-- Parent last!
leaderstats.Parent = player

end
Would you like me to look at the part of your script where you connect PlayerAdded to see if there's a logic error there?

unless u want country songs in ur game u prob dont want my songs lmao

country songs aint even bad but wont match the style

the raycast is working properly, whats the problem?

[shy bronze]

whats that

[shy bronze]

its kinda offseted at some situations/directions

[proven plover]

if ur trying to shoot from the middle of ur screen, he basically told u what to do

[storm laurel]

get center of screen using cam.viewportsize.x/2 and y/2 then use viewportpointtoray to create a ray from the camera through te exact pixel of the center of screen

basically using the center pixel of the screen for the ray

[proven plover]

camera:ScreenPointToRay(screenPosition.X,screenPosition.Y)

if this helps a lil

the other guy basically explained it to u

[hot abyss]

can someone help me

k ill try

@shy bronze the ScreenPointToRay returns a unit ray, from the unit ray you can retrieve the origin and direction

not much coding to do

also would it cost money?

for ai subscriptions

also take a look at the different functions cuz "ViewportPointToRay" and "ScreenPointToRay" act a lil different, idk how ur crosshair is set up, so it might look a lil offset on one of the functions

bro believes news about engineers…

it’s just marketing yk

ai is tool, not person who will do it for u, and for complex systems lua knowledge is must have

try to steal a brainrot with claude and you will spend a ton of time and not even be sure that it the best option + the option you wanted from start

ai can help a lot, but not replace fully in complex project, such as forge for example

[icy dew]

If "hardly anyone can compete with the AI models now" why are so many scripters still being hired and why are the best studios using real people instead of AI?

[fallow hollow]

as a previous owner of chat gpt plus I can tell you, claude free is better

[fallow hollow]

real scripters use ai too

[icy dew]

Sparingly. There are good use cases and there are bad use cases. It can't do everything well

[fallow hollow]

thats where scripters fix what ai did wrong

oh wtf

why am I in code discussion 😭

Ohhhhhhh

I thought I was in dev discussion

[icy dew]

Yes, I was making the point that real scripters are still needed. Also it can sometimes take more time to fix ai slop code than just making it from scratch

[fallow hollow]

but I mean opus 4.6 rn is very strong

atlwast in roblox Ive had no issues

[forest fjord]

AI cant handle too many lines of code tho

[icy dew]

In my experience AI produced scripts/games tend to be more buggy and lesser quality than human-made ones

[forest fjord]

yeah

also ai code is so dead like full of comments and bugs and when u tell it to fix the code its even worse

scripters will still be needed for long time

[icy dew]

Yes that's true as well. AI can't diagnose Roblox issues like a human can. It will very often think something is causing an issue when in reality the problem is something else that's obvious to a person

[forest fjord]

yeah

also if u use ai u will never feel the joy after hard work when ur script somehow finally works 😄

and chatgpt doing bad, what is better, claude that works good but short, or chatgpt that works bad but long

[safe depot]

can saomeone help me with my game called steal a dev i need help with base skins i alr have the model

[glass mica]

can someone help me I have a bottle model and i want it to flip in the sky( like bottle flip) everytime i try it just goes straight up. I even tried using ai and they cant do it either

[modern aspen]

rotate object??

[gilded raft]

Not every ai model
Claude can handle a very big code and the same with deepseek also

Just make other accounts

[frail yarrow]

LLMs sorta reach their limit when dealing with more dynamic game environments

esp. wrt roblox because its not very well represented in their dataset

[errant oxide]

with .rotation and vector3 ???

[gilded raft]

If you the paid version of Claude opus 4.6 it will last as long as you could imagine

[frail yarrow]

im not talking about context or anything

[glass mica]

ill try this thanks

[errant oxide]

but you want to do like an animation??

[glass mica]

not and actual one with rigs just with code

[errant oxide]

because with rotation and vector3 dont make animation just moves the object

[errant oxide]

oh alr

[unique mesa]

[glacial cradle]

is there any documentation of what can or cannot be published with filter async for broadcast so i can educate my players on what to put in a sign to avoid being tagged?

[deft coral]

its just general bad words, names, dates, ages, and specific phrases asking for personal information

so basically two buckets: anything thats crude or offensive and anything that could identify you or asks identification from someone else

[errant elm]

can someone tell the LLMs about not using ipairs in 2026 ffs

[mild sequoia]

does scripting need science and math

[deft coral]

use a decent llm

[fading ermine]

needs some math

no science

[errant elm]

cope

half of roblox's undocumented bullshit was discovered via the scientific process

[fading ermine]

uhh

no

[errant elm]

just today i discovered that models parented to parts don't replicate from the server to client

took like a 4 stage null hypothesis testing to reach that

[fading ermine]

i mean after a while the scientific proccess becomes common sense

u jus do it

[errant elm]

k

[fading ermine]

i mean thats not the science i was thinking of 💀

but u have a point

what's up

[lethal yoke]

what should i add to this

[exotic dirge]

remove if nesting

[lethal yoke]

local part = script.Parent
local prox = part:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")
local item = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Block")

prox.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
    local clone = item:Clone()
    clone.Parent = plr:WaitForChild("Backpack")
    part:Destroy()

    local handle = clone:WaitForChild("Handle")
    handle.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
        if otherPart and otherPart.Parent then
            clone:Destroy()
        end
    end)
end)```

dont think its nesting

[exotic dirge]

it is lol
if condition1 then
if condition2 then
if condition3 then
doSomething()
end
end
end

you should do
if not otherPart then return end

and maybe move Touched outside the function

[exotic dirge]

does this even work at all?

bc your destroying the script

[lethal yoke]

It does work

[lethal yoke]

^

It deletes the parent

[exotic dirge]

ok but everything beneath part:Destroy() is unnecessary

and maybe you should use :Once()?

[lethal yoke]

Hiw is it unnecessary i want it to do that

[exotic dirge]

your script gets deleted after part:Destroy() ...

[modern aspen]

yo

[modern aspen]

it looks like your item will be deleted if touched anything

[exotic dirge]

and the script with it

[lethal yoke]

Yea

[modern aspen]

why you need this

[hard garden]

what is it made for

[lethal yoke]

Absolutely

Nothig

[exotic dirge]

if you delete script.Parent you are destroying the script and thus it wont run anymore past :Destroy()

[lethal yoke]

Im a beginner im js messing in studio

[modern aspen]

also your item can be picked up by two players

[modern aspen]

oh, okay

what you wanted it to do, so I can explain it better

[faint bolt]

local Window = GUI:FindFirstChild(properties.Screen)
if Window then
    local Screen = Window:Clone()
    Screen.Parent = ScreenDisplay
    Screen.Visible = true
end

What should I change Window name to?

[lethal yoke]

Huh

[modern aspen]

template?

[faint bolt]

oh, i never thought of that

[modern aspen]

what was you trying to make

[faint bolt]

but i think naming it Window sounds cooler than Template

[modern aspen]

it kinda doesn’t explain what your function does, so depends on you

[lethal yoke]

A pick up system that deletes the item when a part is touched

[modern aspen]

okay, so main error is that you don’t check who touched it

it can be anything, even the baseplate

something touched -> check if it’s player otherwise end -> debounce -> clone -> delete

[lethal yoke]

Ill use Humanoid

[modern aspen]

with proximity?

or just touching it

[lethal yoke]

touching

[modern aspen]

then idk why you wrote prox

[lethal yoke]

bcs since im new i want to get a feeling of everything

[modern aspen]

bro you wanted to touch, but wrote proximity code, it’s cool, but your idea was different

[tardy pasture]

end)```

[modern aspen]

part destroy where?

also use debounce

[lethal yoke]

huh

[chilly canyon]

use debounce

[lethal yoke]

whats that

[modern aspen]

it’s kinda like “wait, i already doing it”

[modern aspen]

you wanted to destroy item in the 3d world right

[lethal yoke]

local part = script.Parent

hello fellow hidden developers.

[fervent lintel]

Roblox documentation. any documentation should be treated as the coder's holy bible ♥️

there's some nifty tutorials on the devforum too, though it's a hit or miss because there's a lot of mediocre ones.

[digital swift]

ya the physics tutorials can be pretty rough. lots of outdated or overcomplicated info out there. best to stick with official docs for that stuff.

[amber verge]

sword gone on respawn? bummer mate try checking your inv no

[inland fulcrum]

if anyone here is somewhat advanced at scripting could they possibly check out my attempt at a game? I've sadly used AI for a large part of the scripting since I don't have that much knowledge, but if anyone could just help me with some basics that would help

[regal salmon]

what do you mean by "check out" your game?

as in play it or?

[inland fulcrum]

As in play it and tell me what things from the ai I should end up fully changing or keep it for the sake of being a beginner

[regal salmon]

if your intention is to learn to script, then i would suggest rewriting all of the ai code

you're not gonna learn if something else is doing it for you

[inland fulcrum]

most YouTube channels don’t really teach all too well

[regal salmon]

use the documentation and devforums

learning by doing is much more effective than just reading something and committing it to memory

that's why you're meant to follow along with tutorials

[tardy flicker]

Hello, can someone help me with a guide or some resources to where I can learn basic math for programming?

[regal salmon]

basic math for programming is just basic math, no?

[carmine yacht]

operators?

[inland fulcrum]

Is there a way to find people who are willing to explain and take time to teach me simple basics that could get me started on developing?

[regal salmon]

the best place to ask if you're not gonna pay for it would probably be one of these three channels
i see people do it fairly often, but i'm not sure how effective it is

i'm also not sure whether or not it counts as hiring

im assuming no

[tardy flicker]

Yes but there are equations more frequently used in programming, isn t it?

[silk flume]

if you're gonna use AI to code, then you should honestly only use it for inspiration, not copying it word for word

[regal salmon]

i wouldn't say that, you just use the math that the situation requires

most commonly used equations would be basic operations like addition, subtractions, etc.

but you kinda just gotta know normal math to be able to use it in code

[inland fulcrum]

I just need to find someone who doesn’t mind taking some time in explaining a few things while also being talented enough to explain properly

[proper flicker]

Its a tool it wont do all of your work

[tardy flicker]

Basic math I do know, I am struggling with applying velocity and using tan, cos but I guess you are right, it s just math

[tardy flicker]

_ _

[silk flume]

thats... why i said to use it as inspiration, not just copying it word for word

[inland fulcrum]

Which 3 channels if you don’t mind

[regal salmon]

#dev-discussion #code-discussion #code-help

[inland fulcrum]

Thank you

[regal salmon]

[inland fulcrum]

If you don’t mind what’s a good game idea for beginners

That wouldn’t be too difficult or complicated to code

[regal salmon]

i'm honestly not too sure, normally i'd suggest like an obby or a simulator, but most people don't really take interest in that

[inland fulcrum]

Is there a channel for this or

[regal salmon]

for what?

[inland fulcrum]

Ideas

[regal salmon]

finding a game idea?

oh

no not that i'm aware of

[inland fulcrum]

Yeah

Alright

Would ai be good for that

[regal salmon]

i mean you can definitely ask it but i've found it's not very good at coming up with realistic ideas

realistic as in feasible

half the time it gives you some shit like "every time the world resets...you lose your memory..."

and i'm not sure how it expects you to erase a player's memory

[inland fulcrum]

I think that means like deepwoken concept

But

[glass briar]

How would I change a gui textbox text with an local script?

[regal salmon]

textbox.Text = text

[glass briar]

yea but what comes before that

[silk flume]

the location to your textbox

say you have it inside a frame in startergui
game.Player.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Screen.Frame.TextBox.Text = "Text"

i think thats right

[bold wharf]

why isnt startergear part of the player class?

[silk flume]

startergear goes into backpack

just like how startergui goes into playergui

[bold wharf]

no like

Player.StarterGear

not just the startergear service

it is part of the player object but gives a type error when i use it in coding

[silk flume]

yeah thats because anything in startergear is automatically duplicated into the player's backpack

[silk flume]

show what ur code looks like

[bold wharf]

i want it only in a specific player's backpack

i have to do this to not get a type error

[silk flume]

im assuming you define Player as :: Player earlier in ur script

[bold wharf]

indeed

[silk flume]

yeah

so

startergear isnt a valid thing of a player object

its backpack

[silk flume]

nvm im wrong, 1 sec

[bold wharf]

allg

[silk flume]

oh i was thinking of starterpack

[bold wharf]

yeah

all good

[silk flume]

do waitforchild

Player:WaitForChild("StarterGear")

[bold wharf]

not gonna use waitforchild in a server script but findfirstchild works

im js wondering why roblox doesnt put it in the class thats all

thx for the help

[silk flume]

thats what im going off of

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local toolExamplePrefab = Instance.new("Tool")
toolExamplePrefab.Name = "Example Tool"

-- Accessing StarterGear from Server Script
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
    -- Wait for the StarterGear to be added
    local starterGear = player:WaitForChild("StarterGear")
    -- Add a Tool to the StarterGear
    local toolExample = toolExamplePrefab:Clone()
    toolExample.Parent = starterGear
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

alright cant send the docs link nevermind then

[bold wharf]

weird

well i already clicked it before it was deleted

[silk flume]

oh wait

nevermind thats something else

[keen citrus]

hey

any1 knows a good anticheat pray

🙏

My game got dexxed

[jaunty lintel]

e

[astral raptor]

I mean there is certain free models with anti cheat but they aint the best, and if you mean anti cheat for hackers changing values and stuff like that you are better off just coding your own with stuff like checkpoints (I forgot what they were called I just call them checkpoints)

[vernal peak]

How do I export all my scripts to google docs faster

[jovial moat]

As a side note, sometimes you have to use WaitForChild, even on the server. It's only a bad thing to do if it's not needed.

[bold wharf]

yeah i gotcha. would you mind providing me an example where it would be used because i really never use waitforchild on the server

[jovial moat]

For example, lets say you store some sort of instance within a player after they load. In a case like that, you could use WaitForChild on the player to guarantee you would have that instance, since it might not be there immediately.

[bold wharf]

alright, that makes sense, thanks for the help!

also igottic i wanna say your games are top-tier, ive been playing nss since it was using the OLD viewmodels and it's come a long way

so its good to meet you and talk to you yk 1 to 1

[trail pebble]

does anyone want to make a one piece rpg passion project with me?

[amber verge]

hey steakdev anti cheat is tricky code your own checkpoints wertar,

[amber verge]

export scripts google docs fast waitforchild server use case nss good

[vivid sluice]

Anyone know how to make advanced UI in roblox

[amber verge]

sure can do waitforchild useful for instances nss nice games thanks

[chilly canyon]

@amber verge stop spamming

[somber vault]

I'm like a beginner who started lua like 6-7 days ago, what projects can you guys give me

[ember nimbus]

how do you get flagged as a spammer

do you dm egirls the same pickup line

in bulk

like 30 at a time

[amber verge]

waitforchild easy scripts fast google docs nss good projects start lua

[quiet bloom]

arvid waitforchild easy faps?

[amber verge]

no spamming waitforchild helps noob lua projects start small work hard

[quiet bloom]

faps w faps

[amber verge]

no spamming egirls lua hard work start small projects google docs

[ember nimbus]

sorry am i reading that right ☹️

[quiet bloom]

human eye can read or brain

[regal salmon]

genuinely just keyword spamming 😭

[quiet bloom]

genuinely just a reminder to read our rules am i reading that right

[autumn phoenix]

this is my first system, i only have 2 days of coding experience what do think

[grim void]

i just made a working health bar! glory to God

[grim void]

that's great but if your lying its not

[grim void]

when i was 2 days of coding i was like learning about variables, parameters and task.wait

[sweet sage]

GOOD FOR 2 DAYS

[autumn phoenix]

Im not

[autumn phoenix]

I've just been watching brawldevs beginner tutorials I'm on like episode 10 or sum which is about loops

I've done printing functions variables parameters loops waits if statements

Stuff like that

He explains it well

[autumn phoenix]

91.0170669555664 is crazy

Might want to make it so theres no decimals and it rounds or something

[empty jay]

any egirls here?

[deft coral]

task.wait...

https://klipy.com/gifs/so-old

[modern seal]

wait()

[idle geode]

is it possible to script luau in visual studio? and be actually working?

cuz uhh roblox is banned in my country..

[rocky idol]

Yeah

There are some videos on youtube about how to set that up

[modern seal]

doess a vpn work ~?

[analog sandal]

Use math.round() or math.floor()

[amber verge]

context understood 1 wait distinct 2 nice gif 3 wait() scripted

[somber vault]

I saw object browser in thedevkings tutorial but I can't find it anymore

How do I get it

[amber verge]

wait() possible luau vs code country banned vpn mathround()

[lost pebble]

window > script > object browser

[amber verge]

window > script > object browser mathround() or mathfloor() vpn maybe

[faint bolt]

meowmeowmeowmeow

[copper cape]

To use chrono u have to just start it on both client and server or theres more?

[exotic phoenix]

1. learn about something 2. try to do it 3. fail 4. absorb new information

there u go

your pdf to help with learning

[dense spade]

u forgot the repeat

[hard garden]

will you pay me if i tell you i am one?

[hard garden]

wdym no

[hard garden]

not no

roblox documentation exists

[hard garden]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/experiences

[tulip seal]

Imo roblox docs are sometimes a little weird in their descriptions

[dry sparrow]

Anyone know how to import just a bundle into studio?

[ember turret]

When scripting, how do you plan what to do? For me, when i want to do something, i think of so much ways to do it that i end up not knowing what to do and i freeze

[tulip seal]

Try making a flow chart, that’s what I do for complex services that I don’t really understand

You can make them even in just microsoft paint

Just take things one by one

[glossy wave]

write on my keyboard until it works

[amber verge]

roblox docs exist sometimes weird descriptions import bundle studio flowchart microsoft

[tulip seal]

What is you saying

[amber verge]

weird roblox docs sometimes descriptions flowchart microsoft paint bundle import studio

[halcyon cypress]

is that good idea or not guys?

[modest socket]

make it smaller

[halcyon cypress]

bet

[amber verge]

flow chart can help plan steps one by one docs sometimes

[ember turret]

Tysm

[modest socket]

frfr

bro i wanna code but idek what

[chilly canyon]

No bruh

[halcyon cypress]

what should i change?

[chilly canyon]

❌

All

[viral plover]

anyone know what the best way is too load in items from a table into Ui

[balmy frost]

is AI coding better than Human coding

like lets say you hire a above average scripter, will the AI perform better than him?

[dense spade]

code🤓☝️

[viral plover]

really

[lone swan]

No

[viral plover]

no

for full-game development an average developer would out perform Ai any day of the week

[balmy frost]

[minor elbow]

Yes, as ai was trained by top tier scripters. Ai is literally the smartest computer in the world. You just have to know how to use it and word your prompts. With ropanion you can code entire games and it will make ui and models for you with 1 click. Its truly incredible what ai can do.

[balmy frost]

ahh alright

[minor elbow]

Every person will tell you different but obv ai is smarter who do you think made it?

We did.

[modern seal]

i pray th ai bubble will burst

[minor elbow]

I dont think were that lucky

But to be honest ai will only take over if we let it.

[dense spade]

ai is useful but you have to know basic how coding works,if u dont its very hard to prompt and get good results

[modern seal]

ai is stupid

[minor elbow]

Indeed. You still have to know how to code and where to even start

[dense spade]

i code myself but when i meet an error or some weird behaviour like a camera script spinning uncontrollably i would usually ask it to fix,most of my problems come from cframe math

[minor elbow]

Interesting use case. Seems easy to hand off tho

[dense spade]

i usually mess up the cframes and get my camera in weird positions lol,ai comes in clutch

[minor elbow]

Indeed ai is very useful

[modern seal]

im fine w ai as a tool forr m where it crosses th line is fully ai made games

[dense spade]

is having a Loader script that loads modules a good game architecture?

[minor elbow]

Yeah but why use ai when there is a million templates

I guess it just depends

[dense spade]

i have two,on in server and one in client(StarterPlayerScripts)

and im assuming a CameraController Module wouldnt need OOP?

[minor elbow]

Seems good to me. But only if you don't lose track

[dense spade]

yea i name my modules correctly

[minor elbow]

Well then its good architecture

[dense spade]

as of rn i have DashController module both in client and in server(the client one will do effect) the server will tell other clients to make the effect too

i still havent touched OOP

seems unnecessary here

maybe in future for things like weapons

[amber verge]

sounds good mate, oop can wait for later focus on the dash effect first, keep it simple

[azure coral]

in my personal experience, all the AI does is act as a search engine when it comes to actually writing code

like it will get some random ancient ass thread from stack overflow probably like 15 years back and use that

like geniunely thats the whole thing it does from what i've seen it doesn't quite 'generate' it

[amber verge]

yea fr ai do be like that lol

[chilly canyon]

Nope

[amber verge]

yea ai just copies old stack overflow fr

[exotic phoenix]

hey guys chatgpt js called

[potent maple]

Are devs using collection service to tag ui objects to make hover anim for them?

[shut quail]

is there a built in async function in luau

[broken grove]

As in?

[tulip seal]

How performace heavy is using HttpService:GenerateGUID()?

[shut quail]

well can you code asynchronously in general?

[regal salmon]

i dont think its heavy like at all

[uncut nest]

yeah there is

check coroutine

[regal salmon]

it doesnt seem to actually call any web apis

[shut quail]

thats nice

[regal salmon]

here are some times it took for it to run when i tested:

[wise turtle]

what are you using it for

most people avoid generateguid is because they don't actually need a global uid, and a global one is a lot less compressible to network or store.

[dire cave]

How did u get that tag?

[regal salmon]

which tag?

[wise turtle]

a server

[regal salmon]

the luau one?

[dire cave]

Yea

[regal salmon]

ah

[dire cave]

I want it

How do I get it

[tulip seal]

Currently I'm using the instance pointers for table management. But I'm thinking of switching to generated id's to make life easier for myself and prevent future memory issues.
But I'm not sure if I should just make my own idSystem, like going +1 up for every instance. Or use HttpService:GenerateGUID().

[wise turtle]

that sounds like a much better idea

because your IDs are local

[tulip seal]

But than what's the better option? going +1, or using http service? +1 would be more efficient no?

[wise turtle]

yes it would

a lot easier to hash

a lot smaller to store

can network it using a u8 most of the times

[tulip seal]

I'm not sure what hashing is and what you mean by that last line

[wise turtle]

instances[id] = data , a lot more performant for id to be a number rather than a GUID

[tulip seal]

Oh like that yes

I'll look up the networking with u8 myself so you don't have to bother.

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it

[wise turtle]

it just means you can send 1 byte instead of 16-32 bytes through the remote

[tulip seal]

Yeah I found it, thanks!
