wym by temporary data storage

[prisma vigil]

Hm

Say you have a number I guess, and please anyone correct me if i'm wrong, that you want to save for a few seconds and discard it

a userID for example

[smoky flare]

uh huh

[prisma vigil]

you store the userID in some sort of table to be used in a function one time

[smoky flare]

oh ok so cache is like storing things in tables?

[prisma vigil]

lowkey don't know how to describe that

[distant hamlet]

https://people.freebsd.org/~lstewart/articles/cpumemory.pdf

read son

[prisma vigil]

i'll say tables are the means of storing that data to be used temporarily, and the cache is where it goes

[smoky flare]

what does this talk about , is it usefull

[prisma vigil]

im a beginner though so i'd also read or learn more about it via articles

[prisma vigil]

bro 🪦

thats how cpu memory works 😭

and like memory down to a super-fine detail

[smoky flare]

ooo maybe it might help

[prisma vigil]

i have that bookmarked too lmao

[smoky flare]

i dont know these . boofers , caches, replica

anywhere i can learn those

[distant hamlet]

replica 💔

[smoky flare]

yes

[distant hamlet]

we left replica in 2020

[smoky flare]

its not good?

[distant hamlet]

its ass

just replicate manually

[smoky flare]

alr

[distant hamlet]

sure it pretends to simplify ur shit

but its just an unnecessary indirection

[smoky flare]

mmm

what about object poolin

[distant hamlet]

thats fine

[smoky flare]

whats the best way to optimize code...

im bad at optimization ;/

[tribal meadow]

hi guys

I'm trying to make an ODM gear for my portfolio and I just can't seem to get the physics right

[smoky flare]

whats ODM

[tribal meadow]

the machine in AOT which was used to kill titans

[tribal meadow]

Here's the video

I want to fly

[quasi urchin]

guys hiw can i make it so these messages don't appear?

[kindred sonnet]

anyone got advice for scripting in general, like
something thats helpful to get to know early

[quasi urchin]

What stage u at

[smoky flare]

yo

[smoky flare]

what do u know

[smoky flare]

make a custom chat

[kindred sonnet]

really basic stuff, started like a week ago,like my biggest code is a randomizer for items from different rarity pools, don't know the direction yet in which i should be heading

[smoky flare]

u should start by getting the fundamentals

its like a language basically , learn words and you can make sentences

[quasi urchin]

how are games able to see if you liked it or not

[serene zenith]

the most helpful thing early on for roblox is knowing how to read and use their docs. https://create.roblox.com/docs

[heady sluice]

[distant hamlet]

just send delta changes

[west tendon]

you cited ProfileService when there's just another module by the same creator made exactly for server → client table replication named Replica

and others such as RemoteTable

• we have generalized iteration, you no longer need to manually write pairs or ipairs in a for-loop
• prefer QueryDescendants rather than GetDescendants
• write reusable systems and your own modules
• read the docs for knowledge, search in the DevForum to find solutions from people who already experienced the same issues as you, find open-sources, or make your own posts

[shy cipher]

cache is putting data in places where it's easy and quick to access

like stack memory

[buoyant crater]

develop your own habits, but don't be afraid to adopt others'

[wise birch]

does anyone know how I would make aniamtions for something like a basketball dribble. I tried using a motor6d but its giving me issues and tweening it doesnt look right

[shy cipher]

please don't make some goofy shit like DataService

[sullen yarrow]

Is this script ai made ?

[shy cipher]

this doesn't look human-sane to me, variable names are too long and cringe

70% positive this is ai

[sullen yarrow]

Thanks for helping

[opal spear]

dawg send the entire thing

I dont even see closing brackets

but at least it needs to be using modules and trove which is good

I mean maybe, but some people like to code it all to keep it in rojo / github instead of doing it and saving it in repstorage

[copper cape]

oh mb i forgot to send the main part

print(tick()- self.LastM1)
    if tick() - self.LastM1 >= 1.5 then
        SetCombo(self.Character,1)
    end
    self.LastM1 = tick()
    print(self.Character:GetAttribute("Combo"))
    print(tick()- self.LastM1)

this is where i handle the combo reset

local function SetCombo(Character,Amount)
    Events.SetCombo:Fire(Character,Amount)
end

Events.SetCombo.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,Character,Amount)
        Character:SetAttribute("Combo",Amount)
        if Amount == 1 then
            print("Reset Combo")
        end
    end)

[opal spear]

is there a reason ur setting the attribute

is that for UI purposes

[copper cape]

no bro am dumb

i am never doing that again

idk why i tried to be different this time

[novel parrot]

I make my variables long

[copper cape]

i always used variable

[novel parrot]

I always forget what RS is

(its runservice)

[opal spear]

No I mean I use attributes HEAVY because theyre innately replicated server to client but I was wondering if theres a reason

[shy cipher]

it's always replicatedstorage for me

[shy cipher]

attributes are about 18x faster to access iirc, along with some other stuff

[copper cape]

bro i couldnt use attributes in server anyway

i had to send combo as an data part

to access it without any missallignments

😭

[opal spear]

I didn't know that but thats sick, my entire current project uses only attributes, even JSON encoded/decoded ones for tables

[shy cipher]

they're pretty much just beefed up value instances (like intvalue) but they're a bit harder to track since you need to know their exact name

[opal spear]

Yeah unless you set them ALL in one place on start up with nil or empty values I never ever set attribute unless its at startup, but this requires careful system planning and knowing what ur gonna be doing, only times I do is on mobs for example if I need to mark it dead for a prox prompt to show up or something

Attributes made me not quit dev, I dont like remote events for communication with UI, I only accept them for server to client or clitent to server under specific situations..

[void tusk]

do not fear remotes

[opal spear]

I dont use remotes for UI, I refuse, I use them for other things

[copper cape]

for ui isnt signals best approach

[void tusk]

there is no such thing as best approach

[opal spear]

signals are kind of like bindables

[copper cape]

ye

[opal spear]

they can only go server to server or client to client

[copper cape]

i mean signals are better then using runservice and other heavy loops

imo

[opal spear]

but UI needs server info alot

[void tusk]

signals can be messy but ig similar to them observables can be helpful

using a networking library / compiler can make working with remotes a lot nicer

[opal spear]

Every single project I start I just copy past my bootstrapper initiation for server and client module scripts with a registry, they all work off dependencies so I can easily just self._ them

[copper cape]

yo so can someone help 😭

[opal spear]

I want to but I cant get the whole picture with what youve send, can you send the entire function to me in dms or something

[copper cape]

ok we can dm

[opal spear]

also tell me what type of script the code is in

module script or reg script

[void tusk]

it would rlly help if you told us what your problem is instead of just "it isn't working"

[shy cipher]

it isn't working bro

[void tusk]

i wish more people would dm me for help with the end result of payment

[shy cipher]

mods, seize him

[void tusk]

it aint a crime to get paid

[cinder siren]

as of now it is

getting paid minimum wage is like robbing banks

[void tusk]

they call me al capone

[cinder siren]

just you

[ember turret]

am i writing 90% of scripts in a modulescript soon tho?

[west tendon]

I meant as in you should write your own modules too rather than only using other people's. at some point you always need to make your own modules due to the unique framework each game has

however your question isn't wrong, yes you will, perhaps 80% at least

[ember turret]

alright! ty

[final harness]

Hi guys

Can i ask

Oh nvm real man dont ask if they can ask

To start a game and hire scripter what should u do ?

Just post in #scripter-hiring ?

Or u guys use a specific place

[west tendon]

that's the specific place

[tall bramble]

can you skip the learning feature on game ads

[thick mica]

i really need someone to help me abt this, how should i start learning roblox lua scripting?, any tips as to how to begin? i wish to continue until im good with combat mechs and etc

[strange wind]

Why not add constant velocity to the characters hook position

[tribal meadow]

Is that a roblox instance?

Also I want to make it so that the player can rotate too

[strange wind]

No u can use linear velocity to add constant velocity and once its close enough u can decelerate

I made something like a grapple hook system like that it came out deceny

[tribal meadow]

oh okay

[strange wind]

How can i send vids

💔

[tribal meadow]

I tried to do that, but the problem is that the player falls down rather than going straight

[tribal meadow]

#media

[strange wind]

Are u adding the velocity to the characters at a constant pace?

[strange wind]

Still cant send vids

[tribal meadow]

I did try linearvelocity but it was pretty much useless.

[tribal meadow]

Hmm

can you send it by uploading it on yt or something

that will help alot

[strange wind]

It deleted it

Wow

[tribal meadow]

Send it in DMs

Hiddendevs does that for some reason 💔

[rustic coral]

are you able to do procedural generation with pre-made islands that have terrain?

[heady spire]

id watch through beginner scripting videos like by thedevking or brawldev to learn about the basics

but also try out stuff that they talk about yourself

and after that just experiment trying to make little things with whta u know and if u dont know ask around or check devfourm or lua reference and if all else fails ask chatgpt but dont rely on it to write you code, save ai as a last resort

[elfin timber]

if i wanna make a coin rotate just for visuals, do i run that on the server?

no right?

[amber acorn]

For everyone to see yeah

[ruby iron]

do it on the client

[elfin timber]

Yea i actovated my neurons and found out that this question was dumb

[sly dome]

Dw we all dumb sometimes

[elfin timber]

thing is

im not even new to scripting

😭

[sly dome]

It doesn't even matter if you're the best scripter ever, you're gonna ask stupid questions and forget easy stuff

[elfin timber]

infact i made hella robux with just scripting

[elfin timber]

but yea thats right

[sly dome]

For example my friend forgot yesterday how to make some leaderstats and he's been coding for around 4 years

[elfin timber]

i was just 0% locked in

[elfin timber]

ok that i remembered

my first time on studio since 2 months, school been hard

i remember misspelling leaderstats

and i couldnt figure it out

[sly dome]

if after 2 months you remember how to code then you hella good dw bout forgetting shi

[sly dome]

lol same

[somber vault]

Hey mans, someaone worked with battleground or pvp games?

The animations are doing on client , and visual effects are repllied to all clients?
I really want to see the structure and how its organized to i learn better

[ruby iron]

yeah pretty much

[somber vault]

Hmm i understand, so have a module that gonna say

"Hey, reply this vfx on that location pleas :>" or..?

[whole trench]

i need some help with dev products

for some reason it works fine in studio but doesn’t work in team test - is this normal?

[stone garden]

render on all clients, use server for more important things

[elfin timber]

@sly dome ok this is funny

i forgot how to duplicate things in a script

nvm its clone

oh my days

[sly dome]

💔

[stone garden]

imagine learning how to script in 2026

[elfin timber]

been scripting since 2023

made millions of robux too

[stone garden]

Instance:Clone()

[elfin timber]

im just washed

[stone garden]

me too

[elfin timber]

and we were just talking about this typa stuff

[elfin timber]

how many

[stone garden]

4m selling homemade modules

[elfin timber]

oh well thats nice

[stone garden]

from small to a big clean module

[elfin timber]

i have some more but i self deved games

[stone garden]

i only have 1 published game but its more like a old game so its not that greate

i m making a build battle right now,

[elfin timber]

i closed all my games since i heavily lost all kind of motivation and had irl issues

im just now getting back in

finals in 2 months tho

i used to have 2 games

2 anime slop games

sadly i cant devex about half of my robux cus roblox doesnt like me

so im kinda stuck with over 20 mil

[stone garden]

i also make clothes

i made

4.5m

[elfin timber]

i remember when i used to be younger i dreamed of being rich from cloths lmao

i think my most selling cloth had 300

sales

i never understood how the hell people made a lot with cloths

[stone garden]

sales are declining a lil bit so

[elfin timber]

i also tried ugc but i just didnt like it so i had like 7 ugcs which made me 200k total

[elfin timber]

thats crazy tho

W

[stone garden]

https://streamable.com/2quurh

look

[elfin timber]

wow

thats cool

gl man

[stone garden]

yea thanks

[torn holly]

is that the whole game?

u just build and rate it?

[stone garden]

Its just a little gameplay, there is 10+ maps and 500+ themes

A lobby and so

[torn holly]

maps?

[stone garden]

I mean backgrounds themes

[torn holly]

so the building environment changes according to ex. theme?

[stone garden]

Yea

[torn holly]

that's cool. add player plates

i presume this is like a rating game, hypixel or like that one dress up game?

[stone garden]

Yes

[torn holly]

add plates then, when build is review player can customize their player plate, which is just their general info stuff next to the rating ui

add particle emitter blocks with a set limit for each build to negate performance worries

[stone garden]

Everyone build on the same map on client, so they dont see eachother, once the time is done, there blocks position and color get packed inside a table and sent to server to be render and so people can rate there build

[stone garden]

Bro my game plan is already done but thanks

[torn holly]

whats the ccu and release date?

[stone garden]

There is no realese date idk bro

I m busy with school

[torn holly]

o, thought its already released

[stone garden]

I dont need robux, its just a fun project for myself

Oh no

[torn holly]

one thing though

add hotkeys

dragging a mouse cursor over to ui is pretty low level

efficiency during a time constrained build is very important

will excel the builds in ur game

[stone garden]

There is already, wach again the video

Chill bro, i m alone making that game

[torn holly]

like the 1,2,3?

im talking specific color

zzzzzzzz busy

[stone garden]

?

[stone garden]

How i m suppose to keybind 30 colors?

I dont understand what your saying

[pure python]

The dreaded datastore queue!!!

[daring solar]

do i still need to use ipars and pairs or not

i found conflicting information online

[thorny tundra]

Hey, you don't need to use ipairs or pairs anymore. Luau can automatically tell whether you're using an array/dictionary now. You can just do
for index, value in yourTableName do and the iterator will work as usual.

[iron kraken]

no boss

for i, v in myTable do
print("cuh")
end

[heady spire]

i was asking about this earlier but got some mixed answers, ive got this script to get ability vfx modules + preload animations for the abilities upon switching movesets. the modules clear and change when moveset is changed but how do i like get rid of the loaded animations as someone had said there is a limit to how many animations can be loaded onto a players animator

table.clear anims dont work because they are instances so what can i do to like unload the animations

or does it even matter someone had said they unload themselves if not referenced but i didnt get entirely what that meant like what counts as it not being referenced

[cold walrus]

can someone help me learn coding ik the basics

[daring solar]

alr ty

then ive been making good code for the past year

lol

[rapid eagle]

😔

[rapid eagle]

when u play animation u have to pass the class Animation into as the arg

soo

[cold walrus]

can someone help me learn coding ik the basics

[thorny tundra]

I can't help you learn to code, but if you're seeking to escape tutorial hell, here's what I did (and still do!):

• Learned the most critical ROBLOX API from YT (I used tutorials from BrawlDev) and the ROBLOX API Documentation.
• Code 1 tiny project per day, always ensuring the project you do contains something you're uncomfortable with/don't understand yet.
• Track your progress daily, noting down how your trajectory toward expertise is, and adjusting if you're off-track.
• When you get stuck, ask AI such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for help with debugging - they aren't perfect, but they provide fast, digestible explanations that are perfect for beginners.
• Grab tutorial/open-source systems/scripts, and study them when you start reaching an intermediate level. You'll notice programming patterns that you can apply in your own code.

Overall, it comes down to repeatedly doing things you don't know how to do so you guarantee daily growth. Expect to feel stupid, confused, or hopeless at times, as struggle is a part of growth.

Also, asking developers in servers like this one is important, as people with more experience are amazing troves of knowledge.

[rapid eagle]

ok

[pale sand]

roblox scripter 10+ yrs of experience dm or ping me to get started on a comission

[dire egret]

could i ask you gays to help me when my ai code get santa error

[west tendon]

I think calling :Destroy() on the AnimationTracks should work

also load animations using the respective Animator not the Humanoid

[storm nacelle]

I’m planning on making simple mobs for my game maybe like 3-4 different ones. I should do OOP for that sort of thing right? It shouldn’t be hard either right? How would you guys go about that. I would have them spawning from a model every X seconds.

[rapid eagle]

if it were me i'd use a entitymanager that uses statemachines for each entity and created a ID for a entity uses the statemachine for that entity and utilizes it

[heady spire]

oh yea mb

how can i call destroy on all of them tho

[rapid eagle]

loop?

[heady spire]

it doesnt let me loop through for some reason but maybe because i didnt have it loaded onto the animators themselves

[west tendon]

what do you mean it doesn't let you loop through

[rapid eagle]

what are u looping through?

[heady spire]

the table i have it setting to

[west tendon]

just run a for-loop on the anims table before clearing it

[weak radish]

Is this tuff

[heady spire]

so like this

doesnt work @west tendon

[rapid eagle]

what is that?

[west tendon]

oh I see your error lol

[west tendon]

you initially create anims as a table and later make it a reference to an AnimationTrack itself

hence on clean up it's no longer a table

and you can't perform a for-loop

[heady spire]

do u see what i wanna do tho like i want all the animationtracks in a table

and then i just clear it but is that not possible]

[west tendon]

just use table.insert

[terse stone]

Hey looking for a scripter that would be intrested in making a game. Looking for a scripter that would be actually intrested in the project and someone that is active and engade in the ide. I have an idea so DM if intrested.

[west tendon]

you're resetting the anims variable every time to a new AnimationTrack

instead of storing them in the table

[heady spire]

ohhhh yea shi

[west tendon]

you should still do table.clear on the anims table after the for-loop though

[heady spire]

i forgot how to set it properly to a table bruh i just added this and its working now

no errors so must be fine

yea and i added .clear

thanks

also tho if theyre all loaded in this script (the script is just that what i sent), how do i reference the animation track here in a modulescript elsewhere for a specific ability to actually play the animation

should i change the script to be a modulescript and return the animations table would dat work

[west tendon]

your purpose with this is only preloading the animations, right? if so it isn't a big issue to just load again the animation in the module skills

however, ideally, you shouldn't even be doing this. every skill in a game is divided in 2-3 steps (at least): initialization, activation, and deactivation (for skills that do have a way to deactivate). during the initialization of a skill is when you should load the required AnimationTrack. doesn't really matter destroying the AnimationTrack after the player changes to a different moveset

most importantly I don't think the limit on the Animator is for simply loaded tracks, but active (playing) tracks instead. I'm not too sure but regardless you aren't hitting 256 loaded AnimationTracks unless you cause a bug. I have over 60 skills in my game that as the owner I have access to all (therefore all of them initialize for my character), some loading 2-3 AnimationTracks, alongside items and others that load more animations into the Animator. even with access to all items, skills & tools at the same time I never got a warning about this limit

[heady spire]

wait yea

i got a solution

the only reason i was doing this was because the animations would appear delayed but i think i know what i can do

[pale cloak]

most serious channel

[heady spire]

nvm

[heady spire]

how do u do it then for yourself

i can obv load the animation when the ability is called but the first use always has the animation delayed and messed up then so do u not preload the animations or if u do then how

[west tendon]

that's why I said there's a difference between initialization and activation

the moment you require the moveset module is when the AnimationTracks should be loaded for each skill

then you're able to use the functions you have in the module to activate the skills

let me give you an example

[heady spire]

if i require the modulescript on a local script can i get the player in the modulescript from localplayer

[west tendon]

local myActions = {}

myActions.Fireball = function(character: Model)
  local animTrack = -- ...
  
  return {
    Activate = function()
      -- fires
    end,
  }
end

this is an example of a global actions module

[west tendon]

what?

[heady spire]

yea i have it somewhat like this but im just not sure how u load the tracks onto the player *in *that module when its required

[west tendon]

you shouldn't require it in the client

[fluid coral]

rate my script 🙏

local function HelloWorld(message)
  message("HelloWorld")
end
HelloWorld(print)

[heady spire]

hmmmmm

[west tendon]

you'll have to set it up similarly to how I did. an example of how to trigger the Fireball actions using that template:

local actionsModule = require(path.to.myActions)
local fireballAction = actionsModule.Fireball(character)

-- upon fire skill event is fired
fireballAction.Activate()

this way the AnimationTrack for the Fireball action was loaded when the action was set up, and it's only effectively played when Activate() is called

or if you have a single module for each moveset, you can do it similar to this:

return function(character: Model)
  local punchTrack = -- ...

  return {
    Punch = function()
      -- do punch
    end
  }
end```

and then require it this way:

local movesetModule = require(path.to.module)(character)

[stray crypt]

What’s the best way to learn scripting step by step? Cuz I’ve been stuck watching tutorial after tutorial, I’ve read the Roblox docs but it’s difficult to understand. Like I get the basics, like making part instances and functions. But the skill curve is too steep to understand much else. And if I try using my current knowledge to make any game mechanic, I can’t. And simple mechanics like collecting coins and adding it to a leaderboard can take 100+ lines and multiple types of scripts. Is it worth following tutorials, or is it better to buy a book or take a course?

[celest whale]

Hello everyone, which way is more optimized and better to make animations?

while true do
script.Parent.Rotation += 1
wait(0.1)
end

or

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt)
script.Parent.Rotation += 1 * dt
end)

or any other way?

[tulip seal]

Use the content provider service.

This allows you to preload anything including animations so you don’t have a delay

[tulip seal]

Put that mindset away. Think of something that you want to create. And just start doing it. Start with the absolute base and work from there. When you have an idea. Sketch out what you need to do, and maybe make a flowchart of all the things you might need to program. Than just get started. If you run into things you don’t understand. Ask AI to explain the concept to you, don’t let it generate code unless you need to check for syntax etc

it'z not bad but heres my suggestions! stop using waitforchild on the server, for the resize function everything will already be there, swap from values & tweens to a single spring on the client instead of the server, and put ur tweeninfo higher in the script so it's a constant instead of being newly created every time

yo hello yall, what thing can i learn that is asked a lot? im a intermediate scripter

[stray crypt]

Thx so much!!

IT'S CLIENT

[plush zenith]

funny bug happens in my parkour game when i grab a ledge and then spam ledge jump

[tame halo]

Yo how’d you all originally learn to script? Which websites, tools, etc did you use? Looking for advice as a beginner.

[plush zenith]

youtube tutorials, reading roblox documentation, reading other people's code, asking questions

[tame halo]

Which do you recommend the most for starting out? Videos or documentation?

[tiny zephyr]

im not sure if this helps at all but it from what I see it checks the green hitbox a frame before teleporting the player into the floor

[upper jay]

other than external sources, what helped me a lot was to make small systems that get more complicated overtime

practice is the only way to get better

if u never apply what u read or watch, ur never learning anything

only memorizing

[plush zenith]

both

[plush zenith]

green box is purely visual right now, so that's not it

i have some ideas on what it might be though

no

[gray mauve]

learn Luau first 👍

then roblox-ts once u get good

[sonic furnace]

If somebody need 5usd very fast to fix something in my game dm pe

me

[hot nymph]

how do I do bitwise comparison in rblx?

[void tusk]

using roblox-ts would be if you are more comfortable with writing ts

[hot nymph]

or is it not possible

[void tusk]

luau has a bit32 library in its standard library

[hot nymph]

ohhh

[void tusk]

https://luau.org/library/#bit32-library

[hot nymph]

[gray mauve]

typescript my beloved

[hot nymph]

is it worth making data compressor (or whatever its called)?

[edgy grail]

I wanted to create connections for buttons and store all the connections with their assigned buttons to a table so I can manage it later on, I know how to use tables and stuff I just haven't had time to figure it out cause I want to create a module for it so I can use it for projects in the future

any fixes??

[nocturne crater]

Did Roblox Studio recently updated .lua to .luau chat?

[thorn sigil]

yo do yall got any tips for me like i know what each things do like remote events remote functions how server and client works but i don’t know how to pull all that together to make a working script

[void tusk]

what are you trying to do ?

[void tusk]

luau files have always been luau im pretty sure

[hot nymph]

making a encoder I think it's called? so larger data structures are less storage wise

[void tusk]

it really depends on what you need it for

for player data most of the time you do not need to compress data

[hot nymph]

I plan on having a rollback system for player recovery and stuff and I would need to save their data right?

so then I can roll it back

[void tusk]

roblox has versioning for datastores

https://create.roblox.com/docs/en-us/cloud-services/data-stores/versioning-listing-and-caching#versioning

[nocturne crater]

For real? I downloaded several of my script to import to VS Code earlier in February they all returned to .lua instead of .luau

Anyway, I'm just curious. Not that it would broke anything

[void tusk]

both work luau is the filetype for luau scripts tho

would just stick to em by convention

(doesnt rlly matter)

[nocturne crater]

Yeah at the end of the day they're both lua

[fallow river]

It's always been luau

[vagrant cedar]

im lowk confused

are classes (like itemclasses) allowed to be in replicated storage or strictly only server sided?

[hot nymph]

I use ProfileStore though, does this work for that?

[void tusk]

ProfileStore is just a wrapper on top of the default DataStoreService

you should be fine

[hot nymph]

alr

[crisp bay]

yo ho wmuch % do scripters get for cash grab games, like the market expectation

[compact spoke]

excellent debug gizmos

[plush zenith]

Im a sucker for visual debugging

[civic garnet]

they get $ instead of % if theyre smart

% and $ if theyre really smart

[crisp bay]

hes a freind

i needa know

how much i should offer

games got preety good game loop, rlly similar to tsunami, but nothing to do with tsunami

[civic garnet]

just ask ur friend

[odd knot]

task.delay(IMPACT_DELAY, function()

        local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if not humanoid then return end
        humanoid.PlatformStand = true
        humanoid.AutoRotate = false
        task.wait()

        local direction = (targetHRP.Position - hrp.Position).Unit

                targetChar:SetAttribute("IsStunned", nil)

                if player then
                    pcall(function() targetHRP:SetNetworkOwner(player) end)

    end)

I am trying to create a knockback mechanism where the npc slaps the player and player falls on his back.
the initial part works fine where the player gets slapped and is knockbacked to the ground, but when the player tries getting up, he keeps spinning.
i tried other methods, such as linear velocity but in those methods the player is flung and enters infinite spinning and flies in the air.
so i am using this method now.
please help me create a good and stable knockback effect from a npc slap.

[crisp bay]

ye but i needa know

how much is the normal

[civic garnet]

there is no normal

[fickle igloo]

wyd if #Table returns -1?

[broken grove]

why the nested task.delay in the task.delay

[broken grove]

wha

[distant hamlet]

the norm is to gaslight him into believing he will get a huge payout and then ghost him

[odd knot]

i couldnt paste the full code, but the first one is so that the impulse is applied after the slap animation is completed, and the next task.delay is for recovery after the player tries to get back up

[broken grove]

you could've just used a task.wait for the second one

dont need a new thread as theres no code after it

[odd knot]

ok i can try that

[fickle igloo]

bro is getting optimization tips

w hd

[distant hamlet]

its called common sense

[odd knot]

but during the recovery phase, when the character gets up, they go into infinite spinning, when
if not humanoid then return end
humanoid.PlatformStand = false
humanoid.AutoRotate = true

if player then
pcall(function() targetHRP:SetNetworkOwner(player) end)
end

[odd knot]

i cant figure out how to make them fall when knockbacked and properly stand. they either go spinning when i use linearvelocity or bodyvelocity.
but when i use applyimpulse it works fine although when they try to get up thats when they go spinning like crazy.

local function performAttack(zombie, targetChar)
    local hum = zombie:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    local hrp = zombie:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    local animator = hum:WaitForChild("Animator")
    local animObj = zombie:FindFirstChild("SlapAnim")
    if not animObj then return end
    local track = animator:LoadAnimation(animObj)

    if targetChar:GetAttribute("IsStunned") then return end
    targetChar:SetAttribute("IsStunned", true)

            end
        end
    end)
end

[broken grove]

hmm

[odd knot]

this is disable ragdoll function:

local function disableRagdoll(character)
    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if not humanoid then return end
    humanoid.PlatformStand = false
    humanoid.AutoRotate = true
end

[broken grove]

im not an expert for this but ill try to help

could it be related to platform stand

[odd knot]

yea thats the only problem

but i cant find another method to trip them over

[broken grove]

set their humanoid state to physics

[odd knot]

i use this to trip them

    -- Tip them backward so they fall over
        local tripAxis = direction:Cross(Vector3.new(0, 1, 0))
        targetHRP.AssemblyAngularVelocity = tripAxis * 6

without this the character doesnt fall over

[odd knot]

ohhh 🤔

let me try

[odd knot]

bro that fixed it 😭

tysm

[junior night]

Hiii

[astral crown]

what i need to do if my starter custom characted cant move

no part is anchored\

no welds

[pine plinth]

any yall heard of lemonade.gg ai

[small prawn]

Lowkey anyone wanna team up and try create a new original game (no ai slop, brainrot etc) Im a scripter, we can split profit equally. (I cant vc tho). We will come up with an idea together. Hoping to get 2-3 people. I have a group we can put the game on, currently has 80 members

[small prawn]

Yes

Second time i tried using it it wouldn’t connect

[pine plinth]

im using it rn

its kinda amazing

i know nothing about scripting and its making me systems that work

[civic garnet]

i was going to team up but just because of AI use i DO NOT want to join your team

[astral crown]

can anyone heelp

[compact spoke]

Coul

But only if we have full endocrine simulation for players

[astral crown]

I created my character with my animations,custom rig, I created my Animate by Claude Ai script instead of the one that is always placed in the player

i can jump

but cant walk

jump animation can play

[compact spoke]

This guy talk like me

[civic garnet]

why are there so many ai skidders coming to hiddendevs for help with their ai slop

[compact spoke]

IDK

[small prawn]

Well what would u use ai for

[astral crown]

idc is it ai or not

[compact spoke]

I find it crazy that people can prompt ai to maek them stuff but then cant figure out how to make it work ;-; with the ai tool

[astral crown]

i just need to make cashgrab game

[civic garnet]

i dont know, i dont use ai

[small prawn]

Then wtf do u mean unwould join but cuz of the no ai

[civic garnet]

bad game = no players

no players = no money

[astral crown]

no

[compact spoke]

@small prawn You said no ai slop

[civic garnet]

i dont want to fix AI slop every day

[astral crown]

bad game = kid players

kidplayers

=

whattt

[compact spoke]

Me: STAB STAB STAB because I'd be stabbing you with, well, my nife

[small prawn]

Hes said “because u use ai i wont join”

[compact spoke]

No he said becuase you said no ai he will join

[civic garnet]

what the hell

[compact spoke]

Yea

[civic garnet]

ANY ai use = i WILL NOT join

[compact spoke]

You said that @civic garnet Why did you say that

[civic garnet]

stop Putting words in my Mouth

[small prawn]

Im not using ai bro

[compact spoke]

@civic garnet But he said no ai

LOL you turn out to be the fool

[small prawn]

I said no ai slop

[compact spoke]

And I laugh at you beacuse its hilarious

[civic garnet]

do you give $ or fully give %

[compact spoke]

No money

[small prawn]

I tried lemonade ai

[compact spoke]

For free because it's awesome

[small prawn]

Ages ago

[civic garnet]

No money = ABSOLUTELY no join

[compact spoke]

No mney = join

I would join for no money beacuse I am kind

[civic garnet]

man this is complicated

what if i just made my own team and competed with this guy

[astral crown]

help

[compact spoke]

But only if we can do full endocrine simulation for players @small prawn And model their blood pressure and interals

[astral crown]

i can send the script

[civic garnet]

@compact spoke join my team for 1 billion/hour

[astral crown]

300 lines

[compact spoke]

No if you used AI to generate it use AI to fix it

[small prawn]

Bro 🙏

[civic garnet]

lmao what the fuck 😭

[compact spoke]

I'm not going to spend time fixing shit you dont even realy care about

[compact spoke]

What

[civic garnet]

fixing their shit?

meaning you are going to be SPOONFEEDING them?!

[small prawn]

Litterally im doing this for fun 🙏

[compact spoke]

I am convince you cannot read

[small prawn]

What even is endocrine

[compact spoke]

Like hormones

[astral crown]

i making simulator

and i created

but i need to fix the character

[small prawn]

Bro im just getting a team of like 3-4 and we will work on a game and split profit equally i dont get what u dont understand lol

[astral crown]

i tried to set hipheight to 0 , 0.2, 12

[compact spoke]

I dont think that hes like present for the conversation

I think he is liek tabbing back in to skim the chat and then react

[civic garnet]

i have no idea what you said but you go bro, i will compete against you and make more money ahgahahaha

[small prawn]

And how would ur “endocrine simulator” work

[compact spoke]

Wel we would have to make sure each player has internal organ first

[small prawn]

[astral crown]

bro help me fr

[compact spoke]

Listen close becuase this will then tie into the surgery system @small prawn

[civic garnet]

No

[astral crown]

why

please

[compact spoke]

If you used AI to genreate it use AI to fix it

[astral crown]

after 10 years ill give u 10000 dollars

oreven more

[civic garnet]

No

[astral crown]

i used

[compact spoke]

Once each player has internals we also must give them blood and veins

[astral crown]

but he cant

he saying the samee thing

[compact spoke]

And make sure that the heart realistically simulate each of its chambers

[civic garnet]

i dont think AI has a gender man

[compact spoke]

To give accurate blood pressure reading

[civic garnet]

stop assuming AI gender

[small prawn]

If ur using chatgpt click 3 dots and click “think”

[small prawn]

Yeah ima pass

[civic garnet]

this is the reaon why im not joining the team

[compact spoke]

After we do that we can start to model brain function and use parts of the brain to control different aspects of the character controller

Well hold on @small prawn Its about to get good

[civic garnet]

@compact spoke i will happily create this and OPEN SOURCE it

[compact spoke]

So

I don't care

It's not a compeition

Sometimes we are all just having fun you know

[civic garnet]

who said that this game was specifically a competition

open source = contributors = FREE LABOR

[compact spoke]

What

It not a competition to see who can make a thing

Im just talking about my cool idea

[small prawn]

Are u a scripter or what

[compact spoke]

Yea

[small prawn]

Cuz deadass do yk how hard that is gonna be to script

[compact spoke]

So

I make thing like that all the time because its fun and I'm cool

[small prawn]

So like whats the goal of the game

[compact spoke]

Idk

Maybe you can shoot people

[small prawn]

Seems cool ig

[compact spoke]

And then there would be realistic medical systems

And you could do organ transplants

Wait,thats awesome

[small prawn]

We would peob have to keep out blood otherwise roblox would make it 18+ or whatever

And less of players then

But yeah the bullets can like disable the organs and stuff it hits

[civic garnet]

just add settings to toggle ts

[small prawn]

True

[civic garnet]

this is why you SHOULDNT use AI

[compact spoke]

No

[small prawn]

Is ts rage bait🙏

[compact spoke]

Blood is a part of reality so we have to includ it

For the surgery part

[small prawn]

Wait so whats the surgery for

[compact spoke]

Fun

Oh

[small prawn]

Are we makinf a surgery simulator lol

[compact spoke]

IDK maybe I like surgery system in video game

Im a paramedic

No

I'm a pathological liar though

[small prawn]

So the game is we simulate the full human body

And then

[compact spoke]

Haha idk that's pretty cool though

[small prawn]

Tou can shoot people

[compact spoke]

To have all that

[small prawn]

Thats gonna be laggy af

Lol

[compact spoke]

Yeah maybe

Maybe I'll just do it by myself

[small prawn]

K

[remote bear]

but it sure does have an agenda

[astral crown]

i have an idea instead of spawning like strater character ill just do mount and make plaers body transparency

its geniusly

im a genius

[deft coral]

you just discovered 2014 roblox

free?

[strong sigil]

The module itself was made by GluGPU on devforum. It is free, but my version is far more optimised and realistic (factors size scaling and realistic occlusion).

[alpine dirge]

Why in every channel

[dense spade]

ah i see,is urs open sourced 👀

Not about other people, but sorta against the rules to advertise in channels here

not that i hate autocomplete but its so fucking annoying like when i need it it doesnt do anything and when i dont it just gives me useless suggestions

[weak radish]

What have you done

[somber vault]

like a tornado

i did a tornado

thats it tho

[weak radish]

Do stuff that cover the basics of programming like rng, data managing, physics (Maybe the tornado could cover that idk, and similar things

Yeah but how? PivotTo isnt working as intentended

[distant hamlet]

"pivot to is stupid" followed by "i want to set model cframe by primary part"

[rotund pawn]

okay then explain

[distant hamlet]

just use the damn method bro

[somber vault]

lol

[rotund pawn]

Damn, that is helpful

Just explain what it does to him 🥀

[distant hamlet]

maybe read the fucking docs

just say you wont be able to explain it its fine

yeah man um

pretty sure pivot to already sets it by primary part if there is one

else it uses the world pivot of the model

pretty sure about that

[regal salmon]

i believe they do the same thing, PivotTo is just more efficient and accurate

[dim compass]

thank god i thought you were gonna say i was wrong and that i should quit roblox and stop larping or some shit 😌

this has to be some jealousy

[weak radish]

are you asking for a whole game because I mean yeah that can be fair

[woven palm]

yeah

[weak radish]

Normally people dont come along offering 10k in hidden devs tho

Is there a marketplace rule you cant post over 5k or something?

[woven palm]

then whats the point

like i see why so many big devs told me not to even bother

[weak radish]

I dont think theres any rules

Maybe file a ticket or something idk

[woven palm]

theres no rule they just mad

[woven palm]

that is the ticket

[weak radish]

Oh I thought its just a notice that its been taken down

[woven palm]

stragiht up told me in my face that he THINKS that im not willing to pay

[weak radish]

I dont post in hiring

[woven palm]

like how tf do you know what i got or not

swear this server is a joke

[weak radish]

Pretty sure they can only take it down if they have proof other people dmd you and you admit you were lying

[woven palm]

which they dont

[weak radish]

have you tried talking to anyone other than that person

I think they want 50% of the payment as proof

fs

[woven palm]

i sent another appeal but they prob just gon turn it down

[weak radish]

whats the game about

delete that

Crop out the payment and "lead scripter needed" part or just dm me idk

Dont give them a good reason to punish u

[woven palm]

sent it in dm

read it and see if it breaks anything

cuzz to me it dont seem to break nothing

[heady spire]

how does that work

anyone can help me quick i cant give persons permision for team create pls dm me it says: Users can only receive playtest-level permissions for group-owned experiences.

isnt a dictionary basically a table inside of a table but its assigned to a varriable

[bright siren]

dictionaries are a type of table which use string keys rather than number index keys

[jaunty hollow]

how to print hi

[vivid yacht]

does anyone have like an aracdey vibe vehicle system they made?

[bright siren]

local dictionary = {
Key = "Value",
Key2 = Vector3.new(2, 5, 6)
}

dictionary[Key] -- "Value"

they're really useful

you can also add/replace by indexing a key and giving it a value

dictionary[Hello] = "Skibidi" -- searches for Hello key and replaces the value with "Skibidi" if it exists, else it adds a new key to the table witht he value of "Skibidi"

dictionary[Hello] = nil -- removes a key and value from the table

[modern mulch]

OHHHH

alright

thank you

[bright siren]

use pairs() for looping through dictionaries

and ipairs() for indexed tables

ipairs = index pairs
pairs = key index pairs

[modern mulch]

so each value in a regular table is a index pair while each value in a dictionary is a key of a index pair?

[bright siren]

the key is the index basically

but the index is a string

so for example

if you wanted to store which characters have touched an object you could use the character as the key and the value as true

[bright siren]

local touchedChars = {}
local cooldown = 2

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
  local character = hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")
  if not character then return end

  local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
  if not humanoid then return end
  
  if touchedChars[character] then return end
  touchedChars[character] = true
  -- Code when they touch it

  task.delay(cooldown, function()
    touchedChars[character] = nil
  )
)

a dictionary could be useful for something like this

so that people cant spam touch a button

if stores their character in a table and if it detects that they're inside the table then the event cancels and after 2 seconds they are removed from the table

i used it recently for a portal script

so it wouldnt spam teleport them

[deep niche]

is it possible to change the render distance on particle emitters via code

[royal marten]

Why

game:GetService("Players")

and not

game.Players

[rancid sigil]

guys

i need help with my code

''insert: sigma labubu''

why isnt this working

😡

[dark ginkgo]

anyone can help me quick i cant give persons permision for team create pls dm me it says: Users can only receive playtest-level permissions for group-owned experiences.

[hollow turtle]

what's that one feature in roblox studio that lets you draw/make pictures with scripts?

[hoary cedar]

EditableImage

[polar hollow]

how can i make a fall damage script?

[bright siren]

store the time when the humanoid jumps and when the humanoid lands get the difference in time and if the time is beyond a certain number then scale the damage they take with the airtime

or get the difference in y positions if the gravity is weird or smth idk

[storm sorrel]

what is this bro 😭

[bright siren]

:GetService() creates the service if it doesnt already exist (prevents really rare errors) and is required for services that arent under game so just use get service

[storm sorrel]

js dont use pairs or ipairs at all 💔

js use general iteration gang

[somber vault]

how can I learn scripting, and like get good at it whether its like videos or like docs or something

websites, AI

anything

[dark juniper]

This is so pretentious bro

[bright siren]

module for getting humanoid and stuff and checking if theyre alive

[dark juniper]

😭

[bright siren]

idk why u would need allat but

i guess

[storm sorrel]

yea that module is ass

[dark juniper]

I don’t think u need to do all that

[bright siren]

gnome code brawl dev dev king scripting tutorials asking chat gpt scripting questions roblox documentation scripting discord servers

[bright siren]

i never use them but chat gpt mauls me

[twilit steeple]

?

[dark juniper]

Like u could do this in so much less lines

And still be as useful

[polar hollow]

oki

[twilit steeple]

lol diy

[dark juniper]

what?

[twilit steeple]

what would you do to improve on it

[icy heron]

chat, what do we think about component based (i think? like you get a bunch of things, then "craft" a spell) magic/abilities

[dark juniper]

It’s just that a lot of these can be verified/completed in one line

also the fact that these can be nil means they still need a conditional check regardless

I suppose I get somewhat easier access to the important things in the character

But yet again all I do is tab findfirstchild name and I’m basically doing that in around the same time

I’m pretty sure that doesn’t lint either

Unless ur class module does something abt that

@twilit steeple

[twilit steeple]

You just export type, plus you can also have setters which can do some stuff and theres inheritance

local api = {}

export type xPlayer = {
    player: Player,
    character: Model,
    hrp: BasePart,
    humanoid: Humanoid,
    isAlive: boolean,
    
    kill: (self: xPlayer)->(),    
}

function api.new(player: Player): xPlayer
    return xPlayerConstructor.new(player) :: xPlayer
end

return api

[dark juniper]

Ok well that’s good it’s type annotated

But those types aren’t exactly right

I’d add a question mark to them

[twilit steeple]

yeah ik I just made it quickly to show off what the ccClass can do

[dark juniper]

but like eh it just doesn’t feel useful, here’s what I think would make it better

Add booleans for if certain collections of classes are loaded

That way you can use the module to quickly check for the existence of character parts

[twilit steeple]

maybe

[astral geyser]

hello gang. i am looking for stuff to put in my portfolio so i can finally get some commissions.

i've finished my first mini project which is a small radial menu system (i also have some interests in UI)

im not sure what to work on next. has anyone got any recommendations for some relatively simple systems which i could make which could be good to show off?

[dark juniper]

Your script utilitizes wait for child all you would need to do is flip an internal Boolean when they are loaded and also for when they are destroyed

That effects some main Boolean that can be checked externally

[twilit steeple]

Make a complete game menu: start screen, options screen, shop menu idk

[twilit steeple]

I see yeah

[twilit steeple]

Make some music visualizers, make pure ui games or recreate web games in ui

[subtle finch]

is it possible to crash somebodys pc and how would you do it

[icy heron]

💀

[twilit steeple]

while true do

[mild cloak]

Yes

[icy heron]

no thatd crash roblox

[subtle finch]

thats not really efficient actually

[icy heron]

Wait no

It wouldnt even work

Execution timeout 💀

[subtle finch]

i know hyphon does it

[subtle finch]

nope

[twilit steeple]

Have multiple actors that allocate memory

[icy heron]

a while true loop without yielding is gonna stop after abit

[subtle finch]

you can trick roblox into thinking the bytes is 0 i js dk how

[icy heron]

what bytes bro 😭

[subtle finch]

i think if u create buffers it will fuck over the ram

bro i

[icy heron]

you could theoretically

[subtle finch]

idk how to trick roblox into thinking the bytes is 0

[dark juniper]

are you trying to make data under a byte

[icy heron]

eh nvm

[dark juniper]

I’m sure someone in OSS would’ve made it by now

And every scripter would be using it

[twilit steeple]

local function con()
    game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(con)
end

task.delay(10, function()
    script:Destroy()
end)

con()

[subtle finch]

YOU GOT IT BRO JESUS CHRIST MY RAM WENT TO 100%

[twilit steeple]

duh

im working on a seccond version rn

[indigo torrent]

It crashes ur whole pc?

[twilit steeple]

no it just makes your ram go really high it might crash bad devices tough

[twilit steeple]

local function con(...)
    game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(con, ..., buffer.create(2^30))
end

task.delay(10, function()
    script:Destroy()
end)

con()

[subtle finch]

holy shi bro went up instantly

😭

but it will spike back down to only 2k sometimes

[twilit steeple]

yeah idk roblox is like cleaning it up I think idk

[pearl tulip]

I recommend u just first watch a few videos and practice the basics

there used to be this game to learn luau I used I can check if it exists still, and eventually open uncopylocked projects and really try to understand what's being coded

[subtle finch]

local aaa = buffer.create(2^30)

local function con(aaa, ...)
    game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(con, ..., buffer.create(2^30), aaa)
end

local function con2(aaa, ...)
    game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(con, ..., buffer.create(2^30), aaa)
end

con()
con2()

i just added another buffer

if u put it as 2 scripts it go mad fast

[twilit steeple]

lol

local function con(...)
    game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(con, ..., ..., ..., buffer.create(2^30))
end

task.delay(20, function()
    script:Destroy()
end)

con()

[pearl tulip]

I'm coding a website rn to help with roblox AI development (i'm more focused on aiding than replacing real scripters though), but I may actually add like a Learn mode to it, which the AI can help tutor people trying to learn to code problems

so thank you for giving me that idea I think it will be pretty beneficial

[earnest storm]

are there any skilled coders willing to work w me on a big game project?

[twilit steeple]

lol

[subtle finch]

how would it go for cpu

i dont see alot of cpu crashes

@twilit steeple

[twilit steeple]

I mean CPU crashes dont really happen but you'd have to do alot of computations I guess

[subtle finch]

oh

[twilit steeple]

Yeah but there isnt really a way to crash someones pc via roblox unless you find a solid hole through their barriers yk

doing the con thing still has some protections

This bypasses the cant copy script 3 times

But theres probably some protections so that it doesnt crash ur pc anyways

[subtle finch]

alr

[devout shore]

use this very optimized code to count in your game it will totally not freeze

local counter = 1

while counter <= 5 do
print(1)
print(2)
print(3)
end

[civic crown]

Can i get some help guys 😭

[delicate nest]

?

[hollow quarry]

I don't think so

[regal salmon]

https://dontasktoask.com

[tall bramble]

Is anyone here a scripter who has worked with big games that’s have had a couple hundred+ unique users

[slate vapor]

wdym by users

[regal salmon]

why might you be asking?

[slate vapor]

yea

[tall bramble]

I made a global leaderboard and it used to work but I gained over 300 new users yesterday and the data store got overwhelmed and now the leaderboard doesn’t work

[regal salmon]

do you have any errors?

datastores should be able to handle that, if they cant then i cant imagine what games like steal a brainrot go through on a daily basis

[tall bramble]

Nope

[regal salmon]

no warnings either?

[tall bramble]

just that its overwhelmed

[junior axle]

make sure your leaderboards dont update in real time

[devout shore]

its so very optimized it wont crash ever

[pale cloak]

scripter hiring

[royal marten]

It’s hard, I’m trying to mobilize every knowledge I have from scripting but I’m stuck here

Player is the humanoid, now how do I call the humanoid

[mild cloak]

THe heavenly code

[royal marten]

?

[mild cloak]

❤️

[royal marten]

Bruh

[small prawn]

Do Player.Character.Humanoid

Make a variable like this

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

All on one line

Put that right below the player variable

And then do
local humanoid = character.Humanoid

[main bronze]

I ain’t gon lie you either ain’t learn enough or need to go back to the basics

[dense spade]

script cant have LocalPlayer

and a bunch of other problems

[small prawn]

That is true i thought it was a client lol

And then the problem is why would u kill them on the client

[daring shale]

Is there anyone here who is well-versed with physics simulation that's willing to VC and go over some stuff 😭

[small prawn]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

function Kill(Player)
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
humanoid.Health = 0
end
end

[small prawn]

and then pass in the player that u want killed

[chilly canyon]

u get the humanoid

[small prawn]

for example

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

function Kill(Player)
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
humanoid.Health = 0
end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player))
Kill(Player)
end)

[daring shale]

Wait whats ur questions

Question*

[small prawn]

(this would kill the player as soon as they spawn)

[daring shale]

You're trying to kill a player?

[small prawn]

the person who posted it was

[daring shale]

Oh

[small prawn]

^

[chilly canyon]

?

[daring shale]

Humanoid is a child under the player's character, so pass the Player as a param into your function then its just local humanoid = Player.Character.Humanoid

Obviously you want to make sure that the character and humanoid exists

[small prawn]

yeah i did all that here

[daring shale]

Yeah, that's literally the perfect solution

[small prawn]

although when you are trying to kill the player, the humanoid would prob already be loaded so ig u dont really need the :WaitForChild()

[molten condor]

can someone script an entire game for free for me it’s i’ll only take maybe 200 hours of work

[small prawn]

🙏

[molten condor]

okay fine i’ll pay

[small prawn]

is this fr

lol

[molten condor]

250 robux is the max

1 robux for every hour

1.25

[small prawn]

and why cant i just make my own game in that time ?

[molten condor]

because my ideas are priceless

and you don’t have my ideas

[dense spade]

thats wild

[molten condor]

just need someone to script

[dense spade]

just get a mcdonalds job at that point

[molten condor]

anyone

[molten condor]

yeah no

[small prawn]

whats the idea

[molten condor]

i don’t want you stealing it

if you wanna know you need to sign an NDA

[small prawn]

https://tenor.com/view/jerry-meme-tom-and-jerry-meme-jerry-points-get-a-load-of-this-guy-this-guy-gif-11384860625931393733

deadass its not that serious

[molten condor]

why is there a mouse pointing to the side

[molten condor]

it’s serious

[small prawn]

this is ragebait

[molten condor]

this is game changing for roblox

[molten condor]

it’s not

you would need to sign an NDA and prove you’re over 18, if you are under 18 your parent or legal guardian would have to sign it on your behalf

[broken grove]

walmart brand ragebait

[molten condor]

okay whatever call my genius ideas ragebait

not like i care when i have a $30k a month game

[small prawn]

🙏

[dense spade]

gta 6 in roblox before gta 6?

[molten condor]

no

what’s the hype about gta 6 anywyas

i don’t think most of these people have ever played gta in their lives

[dense spade]

pushing hardware limits?

[molten condor]

yeah but roblox does that

a lot of games do that

it’s not a big deal

[dense spade]

while true do
end

[molten condor]

?

what’s that is it a riddle

[dense spade]

a loop would instantly push it to the limit

[molten condor]

i’m not good at riddles sorry

[dense spade]

i could i just wanna see the GREAT idea ur talking abt

[molten condor]

you ready to sign an NDA?

[dense spade]

sure why not

but wait im not at home on my pc

[small prawn]

the best script to add to ur game is

while true do

end

that will reduce lag

[molten condor]

huh

[small prawn]

thats to reduce ur lag

[molten condor]

No my game isn’t lagy

[dense spade]

90+ fps boost

[small prawn]

yeah but it can make it better
