The avg salary in my first contrie was 400-600 euro 🥹

[hoary cedar]

I could be doing amazing if I lived in Japan

[visual tree]

Ye that's true

[kind shore]

Mine is worse

[visual tree]

Ur from Thailand?

Or idk

[kind shore]

No

[hoary cedar]

I used to take home $90-200 on a single paycheque

https://giphy.com/gifs/skeleton-im-dead-VN3dGsdlp9nCPUfe8y

My bills were around $300 at the time, for reference

[visual tree]

Oh dang

[versed arch]

some filipino told me he has only 16 dollars in his bank account

i can only imagine the salary

[subtle fractal]

how old

[wise turtle]

[subtle fractal]

i ,ocked in w luau

[wise turtle]

okayy

[limpid ginkgo]

what is the best way to learn luau?

[weak lion]

Does anyone know how to make a radial health hud?

[azure coral]

mess around in roblox studio

[versed arch]

and look at the documentation

[modern elbow]

WeaponsShop = {timerLabel = Workspace:WaitForChild("WeaponsShop"):WaitForChild("RestockGUI"):WaitForChild("TimerLabel") whats wrong with this line

[small prawn]

U havent added the } to close of that table u made

U did {timerLabel

But never closed it

[modern elbow]

whats wrong with this [timerLabel] = Workspace:WaitForChild("WeaponsShop"):WaitForChild("RestockGUI"):WaitForChild("TimerLabel"),
GetTimeFunc = ReplicatedStorage.Functions:WaitForChild("GetWeaponShopResetTime"),
UpdateEvent = ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("UpdateDefenceStocks"),
}

[subtle fractal]

Is there a way to check if the game is R6 only

Like in terms of code

In the same way you can do if Runservice:IsClient()

[sand dragon]

is it worth it to use buffes and serializer/deserializer to compress data for cross enviroment communication?

started making my own network module, i'm thinking of wether to implement this or not

[iron kraken]

no

unless ur doing it for the love of the game

[lucid kayak]

your usage of wfc

15$ for elaboration

[dense spade]

yes,and publish it to devforum to make one more network module for people to compare performance

[sand dragon]

aint really doing it for comparison, more like for understanding how they work in case i work on a project with a network module set up in the same fashion

[regal salmon]

you don't encase timerLabel in quotes, it should be ["timerLabel"]

but you should say what issues you're having and if you have any errors if you actually want help

hi 🙂

hi (:

[half merlin]

hello

[bright willow]

Does anyone knows how to add an ad in for hire section

[elfin timber]

/post.

without the dot

[bright willow]

Ok

[vestal steppe]

i don't think so, if you want to change it, go to model -> avatar settings and change to r6. wdym game? like the character of the player or? every character can be either r6, r15, r16 and rthro

[haughty sapphire]

unless ur game sends a bunch of data every frame its gonna slow down ur game more than it helps

u can see this by opening the microprofiler with one of these networking libraries running

they take up a good chunk of the bar per frame

[haughty sapphire]

everything

[subtle fractal]

if Game:IsR6

[grand leaf]

Ohhh should i make it invis n make that part primary so the script knows where to attack it to the floor?

I was going to use the money from this game to make a better game bc like i have no funds to actually pay someone to help me

[dim compass]

alternatively you can set the Location of the World Pivot of the model

it acts as the pivot of the model without a PrimaryPart

[dry sleet]

Yk what that’s pretty fair

[grand leaf]

Ohhhhh

NEED HELP!

Basically, I have a gun system, that shoots "yellow rays" as bullets. When I stand and shoot everything is normal – the gun shoots yellow rays from the barrel in the right direction. But when I move the yellow rays start coming from the air, not from the barrel. Can somebody help fix this issue? I have tried absolutely everything for the last 3 days.

[potent igloo]

gng

at least format the code

explain your problem better

preferably show a video

say what you tried so far

[sturdy vessel]

DMs

[potent igloo]

say what prints

[potent igloo]

no

[sturdy vessel]

Alrighty

[regal salmon]

what does bro wanna go to dms for 🙏

[sturdy vessel]

To Commission

[regal salmon]

#scripter-hirable

[weak radish]

he's 99% a scammer

he came to my dms yesterday

[regal salmon]

asking for what

[weak radish]

for me to script some stuff for them

[regal salmon]

that is how commissions work

[sturdy vessel]

That’s a bold face lie,

[weak radish]

They wouldn't allow any method where they don't get all the scripts before payment

[sturdy vessel]

He claimed I was a scammer because I didn’t respond to his message a few months ago and assumed I was a bot

And then used vulgar language towards me as I “wasted his time” although he refused to accommodate or come to some other alternative solution to our disagreement for where to place the work.

[regal salmon]

hm

[weak radish]

Genuinely denied every method I offered that wasn't me working in the group game and only getting any payment after I finished

[sturdy vessel]

He said he’d do it in his own work place, and I asked people have send me hacked files before I asked him if he would import it and he was stating snarky remarks, it’s not might fault you have a overall lack of respect for your clients.

And that’s when I cut off communication, and now he’s again claiming I’m a scammer when we haven’t even done any deal 🤦

[weak radish]

yeah because I'm gonna hack a .rbxl file

[regal salmon]

not uncommon and doesnt immediately make them a scammer, you dont agree and thats fine

[weak radish]

that's why I said 99%

[regal salmon]

"hacked file" isnt really a viable excuse, they could totally add a backdoor to your game anyway, especially with full access

[sturdy vessel]

I’m claimed a scammer for disagreeing with his suggestion is absolutely ridiculous.

[jovial moat]

Is anybody else here annoyed by the arbitrary guidelines for a scripting role in this server? I've been denied twice. First time was because my code was "too modular", and the second time was because I had too many comments, and so the "net" length wasn't 200 lines, thus got denied.

This has been going on for weeks, it shouldn't be this hard to get a scripting role with 11 years of experience

[regal salmon]

you can just say you dont want to

[weak radish]

a backdoor can be added in team create

[regal salmon]

yeah so thats what i said actually

[sturdy vessel]

I’m not sure I have clarified this, but I have no experience with files etc, so I’m unsure. I feel that is basic common knowledge if someone is trying to commission you to have basic respect whatsoever.

[weak radish]

yeah but they were okay with me in team create just not working in a local copy

[regal salmon]

i know, hence why i made that point

[sturdy vessel]

You realise, a scammer is someone who doesn’t fulfill a side of their agreement?

[weak radish]

Sorry I was reading your message wrong

[sturdy vessel]

Hence I can’t be called a scammer 🤦

[regal salmon]

it'd likely require a zero-day exploit to be found on the hacker's side to be able to hack you through importing a roblox file

[hollow wind]

thats pretty fucking stupid

[regal salmon]

which isnt particularly easy with a platform that's been around for as long as roblox has

[regal salmon]

too modular?? 😭

[weak radish]

game.Parent:Hack()

[jovial moat]

I agree. I DMed them because I felt this was silly. I do a ton of open-source work, and all of it is documented under my domain, so it's super accessible to just... read.

[sturdy vessel]

Look my point is I have no idea on what is a hack and what’s not, so I wanted to take whatever precautions I could while getting a task done.

And I’m being verbally assaulted since I don’t agree with him. 🤦

[jovial moat]

Yeah because apparently they just want to read one script... which is beyond stupid. It ignores the context of code and punishes better design.

[hollow wind]

prbly should send that to them because they are prbly too lazy to check

[jovial moat]

The dude said his DMs were open, so I sent that thinking that he'll respond. We'll see.

[hollow wind]

oh thats good

[weak radish]

Oh yeah I had that problem too, I wanted to make a system to submit but all my ideas required multiple scripts interacting

[regal salmon]

if you're concerned about your account being hacked, then i suppose it's a valid concern
however, if you're concerned about your game being hacked, then putting them into the real game is the objectively worse option because that gives them the ability to do anything, anywhere

all roads involve trust

[sturdy vessel]

And I appreciate you letting me know, but that part which irritated me is that he claimed I was a scammer amongst other things since I didn’t agree with his ideology, and when I was unsure of certain things then he’s giving me abuse as well.

[regal salmon]

that one goes for you too @weak radish

[weak radish]

I guess you must be wrong and they must be right since they told me "I’ve just had experiences where people would send me the file, and it was hacked"!!

[regal salmon]

i was lucky enough to have already written a single module system for a game that i could just use for my application

[weak radish]

Yeah I know Comms require trust, that's why I offered to edit in a local game, let them see whatever they wanted to prove the new system worked, then they send me half the payment and I'd give the file before receiving full payment

[sturdy vessel]

I said I’d do half upfront 🤦

[regal salmon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/861804711370948608/1474192668132245515/smirk.gif

[weak radish]

👍

[jovial moat]

Glad you were able to get it. I guess I'm just frustrated because if I was less experienced, it'd be easier for me to get approved with worse code, but because everything I design is modular, it's a pain in the ass.

The most infuriating thing is that I also share my coding conventions docs, which goes over how I design my code and why, which I argue is more important.

[sturdy vessel]

Alright even with all this, what do you honestly hope to achieve? Like it’s literally just a waste of everyone’s time?

[regal salmon]

the point was it's not uncommon for people to want it done in their group game, i've done several jobs for that before
if you're not comfortable with that then that's not a problem, just don't take the job, but them wanting that doesnt also mean that they are a scammer
people are concerned about being scammed themselves, which it seems both of you are

[regal salmon]

yeah i get what you mean, the application rules definitely need some improvements

[jovial moat]

I brought it up to SoloCord, I'll see what he says

[sturdy vessel]

Which I agree with, I wasn’t forcing him to do any tasks unwillingly, he is just re playing what happened yesterday which achieves nothing.

[regal salmon]

hope the best for u🙏

[weak radish]

yeah but scammers will always choose to do methods where the scripter has no financial protection

[sturdy vessel]

Omg, are you unable to comprehend where I’m coming from

[regal salmon]

all scammers choose that but not everyone who chooses that is a scammer

i've had the good ending with that method every time personally

[sturdy vessel]

Thank you

[weak radish]

Which is why I didn't say they were a scammer, I said they were likely one...

[regal salmon]

99% is essentially saying they are tho 🙏

[sturdy vessel]

Most likely?

[weak radish]

If someone bots dms, would you really trust them?

[weak radish]

Yeah, I don't support scammers so I don't do methods with no financial protection...

[sturdy vessel]

So you stated likely, and now your changing it to I am.

[weak radish]

If you buy a dodgy item where you're not sure if its really going to be delivered, by buying it you support scammers because you are taking a chance that you'll be paying a scammer

[sturdy vessel]

So, let me clarify. You have no proof of me scamming, you’re assuming I’m a scammer? Your attempting to ruin my reputation, just based of an assumption.

That’s pathetic.

[weak radish]

smh

[regal salmon]

btw are you aware that you're marked as a likely spammer

[weak radish]

Yes

I told them

[regal salmon]

ok

[weak radish]

i blocked them last year, the second I unblocked them they dmd me, which made it obvious they botted

[regal salmon]

i don't think bots can detect when they get unblocked

wouldve had to be dming you constantly

[sturdy vessel]

I’ve contacted discord about it.

[weak radish]

Idk either but they can definitely span DMS until they are unblocked

[sturdy vessel]

If I were a bot how am I communicating now?

A bot has certain style of writing and chats.

[weak radish]

I'm talking about dming everyone who talks in a channel the wave emoji...

[sturdy vessel]

Okay, what’s your point now? You’ve just wasted everyone’s time and achieved nothing.

[jovial moat]

Ok good news, the application reader is bringing it up to higher ranked reviewers because they agree that I should have the role

So we'll see how that goes

[regal salmon]

[haughty sapphire]

just write a 2000 lines slop 🤪

[jovial moat]

Istg it's easier to get verified if I would've just AI generated it

[sturdy vessel]

Hey could you respond to ur DMs please?

[versed arch]

not many people focus on code organization, let alone organizing which script is responsible for whichever system, where parts go and what group to loop through... it's about time someone here openly does care about that sort of stuff

[versed arch]

it has to be 200 minimum? tf? also, "too modular" isn't a reason to reject, it says more about the guy reviewing the code than you

[dim compass]

yep

200 loc minimum

excluding blanks and comments

[versed arch]

yeah that is pretty arbitrary

i doubt many scripts even reach 200 lines on their own

[dim compass]

not rlly

alot of scripts easily reach 200 loc

but yeah

the reqs should def change up a little

[versed arch]

remove the excuse of "too modular"

[dim compass]

i dont think that was the exact reason

it was probably something like

only one script allowed

which is the same thing

practically

[versed arch]

lowest bar ong

[dim compass]

should def allow more than 1 script

and make the comment requirements a lot less tight

[versed arch]

5 scripts minimum, or 3

[versed arch]

comments when a block of code looks ambiguous

[rain harness]

yo

[odd knot]

i am trying to create a knockback system, but the arms and legs clips through the ground. so if i want to make the limbs (r6) have their own physics how can i do so, or if someone has any documentation on that i'd really appreciate

[jovial moat]

It's not even much more work either I can send a GitHub repo for any project

[versed arch]

would it make sense for the reviewer to sort of test you on live scripting

like, he tells you what to exactly script

[jovial moat]

That's too much work

I'm too busy for that

[dim compass]

thatd be like

what if you live in a timezone where literally no ar lives

there arent that many luau ars that i am aware of

[rain harness]

do anyone have active game to sell?

[eternal apex]

How exactly do I fix the scaling on the ui so it looks like how it does in studio?

[dim compass]

u using scales or offset

[eternal apex]

I think some is offset and some is scale

[dim compass]

try making all scale

[ivory spindle]

use canvas plus uigrid

[eternal apex]

Is it free

[weak radish]

Use scale not offset

[mild sequoia]

👋 Just a reminder to read our rules and use the marketplace to hire!
-# Hiring or looking for work in our channels classifies as misuse and will result in moderation.

[eternal apex]

Even when I set offset to 0 tho the scaling still doesn’t work

[jovial moat]

Update, the higher-ups denied me still, because the code doesn't fit the guidelines 💀

What a clusterfuck of a system

"I can see you have experience however that is not what we look for" is what I was told

[hearty lion]

It's a discord role

they can't and won't bother to set up a better system

[jovial moat]

My argument is that even though it's a silly role, it's also a silly system. They have arbitrary guidelines that don't check skill at all

[haughty sapphire]

if u want to be a successful dev u need to, otherwise ull be too inefficient

[haughty sapphire]

they encouraging bad practice to reduce the competition 🤪

[haughty sapphire]

time to send in slop

[quasi urchin]

Anyone good at spectator scritps?

[weak radish]

it does, there are plugins to convert offset to scale

[iron kraken]

use scale bro

and uiaspectratioconstraint

simple

[wild torrent]

Holy nice portfolio man

[waxen edge]

Thanks

[slow plover]

why do i need to be a minor to work for yall

like 18 year olds cant make money too?

[median tree]

💀

[celest grove]

cuz roblox devs like ones with less numbers on their age

[weak radish]

there are several posts in #scripter-hiring that say 18+

also it's because you can charge lower prices with lower ages

it's called child labour

Well using AI to code it doesn't make you look like the best coder

[celest grove]

but if the project is serious, it's better to hire someone older, cuz lower age = lower responsibility

[weak radish]

that's just not true...

[celest grove]

idk

[weak radish]

lower age doesn't mean lower quality

[celest grove]

alr, im wrong about it

[weak radish]

this isn't wrong, it's generally true. But there are loads of younger scripters better than older ones

[slow plover]

https://tenor.com/view/shocking-shocked-sarcasm-emoji-reaction-gif-14712663263517681978

[weak radish]

There's no point lying

I've asked Claude to generate a portfolio and it gave me one just like yours

and no sane person uses a 1.2k line index.html

with everything in the same file

[celest grove]

in most of situations people with lower age will have less ability to estimate days and be less serious to dead lines. I worked with guys 16-18+ before, they had much more discipline + understanding at calculating project's duration.

[weak radish]

💀

Yeah mate

[celest grove]

bro using ai is not bad just admit it

just admit that you used AI to make website = there's nothing bad in it

[weak radish]

no person puts CSS html and js in the same file

one single index.html

where's the template?

[celest grove]

if you didnt use ai = ok

[weak radish]

its AI and generated by claude

Well it's still ai even if your friend gave it lol

ding ding

[celest grove]

seems like so

[weak radish]

or you generated it yourself

and you're just saying it's from your friend

either way it's ai

[rare cradle]

Is there a way to make animations doesn't effect the player's physics (Make the animation purely visual)?

[weak radish]

You don't know how to tell Claude "Generate me a website"?

[celest grove]

Is your friend Tyler Durden?

https://giphy.com/gifs/fight-club-brad-pitt-tyler-durden-HJXsW9ZQxZkWY

oh i can use gifs?

finally

[weak radish]

can you atleast speak english

how am I meant to respond to this

[celest grove]

bro

[weak radish]

No you didn't

what's the point of lying for a 2nd time

Think of my own what??

[zealous plover]

Are you guys really fighting over ts

Ofc Alex isn’t lying he has a car as a pfp

[celest grove]

ohh

valid one

[zealous plover]

And has a check mark beside his developper status in his bio

[celest grove]

i would trust him if he'd say his friend used ai and nothing else, but i cant trust to someone who says he paid 500$ for the template that was made by ai

[zealous plover]

He also has a twitter which is 100% more likability

[left mauve]

can anyone help me do something for my battlegrounds game?

[zealous plover]

Like what

[celest grove]

write it here.

what type of issue do you have

[weak radish]

Here's a form submit I asked Claude to generate Vs Alex's completely not AI website form

[zealous plover]

Dude that is so cool

[left mauve]

well im making a character system for my battlegrounds game and i really dont know where to start for a characeter

[celest grove]

i mean, it doesn't look alike 100%

[frigid wagon]

First feels more human than the second one

[celest grove]

or is it js me idk

[weak radish]

Well that's because for the second one I got Claude to refine it, whilst his was probably the first website claude gave him

[celest grove]

start from server's side

[waxen edge]

Trying your best to prove your point your giving him inf detail and still dosent look alike

[left mauve]

alright

[zealous plover]

@weak radish why are you falling for the rage bait

[weak radish]

I refined it to make it green, not to look like your ai form 💀

[celest grove]

do you know Knit Service? you can make characterservice as a template for characters

call it when you need to make new character and use for client-server interaction

[weak radish]

It's not ragebait, Alex is just failing to pass off an ai website as one he claims is his own

[celest grove]

Make characterservice, make it loading, make client-server interaction in knit service

[haughty sapphire]

might be a sign...

[zealous plover]

Clearly he is broke and tryna make some money

[celest grove]

and then make your first character, and switch to connecting inputs from client

[weak radish]

Swear it was archived in 2024

[celest grove]

wdym?

[haughty sapphire]

of u using ai

[weak radish]

Knit is no longer updated

I did, I literally told you that's how I generated this

you aren't onto anything

[celest grove]

Oh, idk, i thought it's a good system to use. What should I change KnitService to?

[weak radish]

for free?

[weak radish]

Tbh I'm not the best person to ask about that

but it might be best to find an alternative that isn't archived

are you asking it for free, because I highly doubt anyone will do that

no he wants it all to break

[waxen edge]

Ok doable

[weak radish]

check dms

[left mauve]

what the hell how do we do rthis

[celest grove]

knit service is framework

i used that to make my own battlegrounds game

[celest grove]

btw, is profileservice still ok to use?

I mean, it is no longer updating anymore.

but is it still good?

[left mauve]

man u gotta help me with this

[weak radish]

pretty sure profile store is the updated one

[celest grove]

help with what?

with installing knit service?

or using it?

knit service is kinda easy to use, just look at docs

[celest grove]

yo, i think i'll use knit service, at least to publish the game to the public, and re write it later.

[halcyon berry]

.

[molten drift]

What do you guys think is necessary to master as a intermediate scripter

[left mauve]

both

[celest grove]

it's easy just watch tutorial in youtuber

youtube*

[left mauve]

ahh man im too new to ts

[jovial moat]

Don't use Knit

It's bad, even the creator said so

It's just a public archive at this point

[quasi urchin]

GUYS i got a problem with a spectating system, when the spectated player tps somewhere far away, the camera just don't move with them, anyone have any idea how to fix? Is it anything to do with streaming enabled?

[slender yew]

making your own framework >>

[jovial moat]

General purpose frameworks are just bad

[slender yew]

^^

inventing your own framework is where its at

[jovial moat]

Why use a framework at all though?

[celest grove]

alr

[jovial moat]

There isn't much of a benefit, and you have to sacrifice a lot

[haughty sapphire]

wdym

everyone has a framework

[slender yew]

well in the profess of making a game creating your own framework has countless benefits

[jovial moat]

Here is the archival post if you want https://github.com/Sleitnick/Knit/blob/main/ARCHIVAL.md

[slender yew]

ex. Easier navigation

[jovial moat]

No

[slender yew]

When I refer to a framework I was implying having some kind of consistent layout for your game

[slender yew]

yeah my favourite one is 600 scripts scattered all across workspace

[haughty sapphire]

i mean a framework is just how u setup ur scripts and systems so everyone has one

[jovial moat]

How is it easier navigation? Architecture shouldn't be a problem in Roblox.

Take a look at this bit from Knit's archival message:

At its core, Knit served two primary roles:

1. Provide a service-like architecture, allowing the construction of top-level structures to help manage a Roblox experience.
2. Provide a seamless networking bridge between the server and client.

Role #1 is easy to replicate, as ModuleScripts themselves can already work in this way out of the box.

[jovial moat]

You can just have good architecture without a framework

[celest grove]

alr i think.. I lowkey want to use knitservice to save time, so i can faster publish my game and rewrite all that later, or should i just dont use knitservice at all? remove it and rewrite now?

[jovial moat]

I'm referring to frameworks like Knit, which aim to change how the entire game is structured

[jovial moat]

You can finish your game with it, but I wouldn't use Knit in newer work

[celest grove]

what about making ur own framework for server-side interaction or server-client side interaction

[rotund pawn]

How can a ship system based on physics heavily lock orientation of ship so they can crash to anything but still keep the correct orientation and position (Arcane odyssey ship)

[celest grove]

alr

[haughty sapphire]

isnt that the idea behind any framework tho? even a random framework u come up with urself, the point is to structure ur game a certain way

[jovial moat]

Having specific frameworks that solve specific problems is a different (and totally fine) thing. They don't make you change the structure of your code, and instead act as libraries to improve what already exists (e.g. a networking or UI framework).

[slender yew]

Then it turns to your very own framework no!

[jovial moat]

Using a central framework creates a ton of sacrifces, especially related to intellisense and typechecking

[slender yew]

Its like building a framework for a house

you know what frame serves what

just as when you’re building your game you decide where to put what service

[jovial moat]

Roblox already provides an architecture for you to use, with extra benefits to it. In your analogy, they built the frame, so you shouldn't try to reinvent it.

[unkempt vortex]

What does framework mean?

[jovial moat]

A central, single-script architecture that runs your game on psudo-services and controllers. Something like Knit.

[unkempt vortex]

What do you mean Knit? Is that a system?

[jovial moat]

Yes

[slender yew]

True, they built the initial framework but during development process I often find myself expanding onto their framework with my very own ideas for future frames aka services

[haughty sapphire]

single script arch is the preferred choice tho, i havent seen any good devs not use ssa

[unkempt vortex]

How would you run your game on a single script tho?

[jovial moat]

You should really read Knit's archival message to understand why that's bad design.

[jovial moat]

99% of front page games use multi-script architecture. I myself have been on Roblox for a long time and worked for plenty of large-scale games. Frameworks don't scale well, especially for large teams.

[unkempt vortex]

Do you build out your ModuleScripts first or Local/Server scripts?

[slender yew]

My experience isn’t as immense in comparison to yours haha, I might give it a shot if I don’t forget

currently at gym :D

[jovial moat]

That's not what single-script architecture is, it's using a single local script and single server script to run a bunch of modules.

[unkempt vortex]

Oh yeah I see that

Pretty smart no?

[jovial moat]

No

[haughty sapphire]

the whole point of having a structured framework is so ur code is reusable and have loose coupling, if u start a new project u can just drop in some of ur old services, can u explain how this wouldnt be scalable?

[slender yew]

I usually use 1 script per service

[slender yew]

My goal is designing agnostic modular systems that are exactly like this

tight coupling sucks

I avoid it unless I can’t find a way to work around it

[jovial moat]

Using a framework doesn't make your code reusable, nor does it solve the problem with coupling (it actually makes that worse).

You can just make your module scripts re-usable, no need to use a framework for that. In fact, the framework is adding extra dependencies to your modules, which makes it less portable.

[celest grove]

so using single local script and single server script to run a bunch of modules is bad?

[jovial moat]

Yes

[celest grove]

Cuz you can't use parallel luau? Right?

or is there any other reasons standing behind it?

[jovial moat]

Read this

Code is written to solve problems. What problem is a framework solving that can't be done another way?

[slender yew]

I still refer to a framework as a way of structuring your game

at the end of the day if your code is as agnostic as possible then u good no matter what your approach is

[jovial moat]

I think the correct term is architecture

[slender yew]

perhaps

[unkempt vortex]

architecture is a better word to use fs

[slender yew]

Local Game = Good

Local Hacker = Ban

[unkempt vortex]

so it's best to create different modules each with their own purpose and then also create seperate scripts and localscripts for them.

[jovial moat]

Also I wrote a small bit about central frameworks in my coding convention docs https://miagobble.github.io/Oxomo-Coding-Conventions/docs/architecture

[jovial moat]

Yes

[slender yew]

what yall think

[unkempt vortex]

sexy

what are some cases where you don't need modulescripts? since they are pretty important in most game mechanics

[jovial moat]

You 100% need module scripts

[celest grove]

try to change vfx's

[unkempt vortex]

even for basic shit? that's what i meant

[haughty sapphire]

it depends on the framework, no? the framework ive been working on has the user group modules by system so each system has its own client, server and shared service and its own network definitions, which promotes loose coupling

[celest grove]

i mean vfx's at the start

[jovial moat]

Modules can be super basic, they're best for when you have repeat functionality.

[unkempt vortex]

I see

[slender yew]

its supposed to cover up the highlight application

[jovial moat]

But then you're losing out on typechecking and intellisense

[celest grove]

alr

[slender yew]

What typa VFX were u thinking besides a fog

[jovial moat]

Also code needs to work together on some level, you can't separate them like that on a large-scale project because it's just bloaty

[slender yew]

maybe a expanding transparency tweened part

or a mesh..

[slender yew]

r u saying theres a con to having agnostic systems

if so please elaborate

[jovial moat]

No

[slender yew]

I will die on the agnostic hill

[haughty sapphire]

u dont necessarily have to, u can define a types module for each of ur systems and get types u need from there

[jovial moat]

But then that's extra bloat. If you want to promote loose coupling and keep intellisense and typechecking intact without extra steps or bloat, just design your modules to be standalone.

[slender yew]

THE AGNOSTIC DREAM

have I mentioned anything about agnostic systems yet guys?

[jovial moat]

Well you shouldn't make 100% of your code agnostic either, at some point there has to be scripts that tie everything together.

[slender yew]

Orchestrators

:D

I’m working on a round system rn

[jovial moat]

Regardless of what you name them, it's still non-agnostic code

[haughty sapphire]

how do u organize ur code if u just have random scripts here and there? i mean surely ur entire game cant just run on utility modules

[slender yew]

Yeah I never said making your game 100% agnostic is recommended nor possible

[jovial moat]

There aren't "random scripts here and there". Take a look at my conventions: https://miagobble.github.io/Oxomo-Coding-Conventions/

[slender yew]

Are you set for life

by being a roblox dev for 11 years

lowkenuienly u should be

[lilac garnet]

anyone have a game there willing to sell

[unkempt vortex]

so many OGs lurking in here

[jovial moat]

I definitely make a living from Roblox, sure

[unkempt vortex]

roblox really is a paradise for players and heaven for devs

[slender yew]

Is it a penthouse living

[jovial moat]

"I will buy your game for 100 Robux"

[jovial moat]

No

[slender yew]

We can change dat twin

[lilac garnet]

no im buying games

[unkempt vortex]

bro is rolling with bentley homie g

[slender yew]

first lets ask the question why not you

[jovial moat]

What even is your budget?

[unkempt vortex]

focus on your own grind i come here to learn

[slender yew]

bro twin cuh homie g fam blud

what u talking about

[slender yew]

5$ and a childish dream

I’m doing some barbel curls rn no cap

[jovial moat]

I'm guessing they're gonna say something like 10k Robux or whatever

[slender yew]

Are you educated in code or self thought

[jovial moat]

Self-taught

[slender yew]

My goat

same

How’d you start?

Do u have an origin story

[haughty sapphire]

im guessing u went to school for cs or something similar tho

[slender yew]

I do but its sad

[slender yew]

oh no way she’d do me like that

[jovial moat]

I dropped out of uni in my third semester

[haughty sapphire]

would u say u made the right decision

[slender yew]

dawg

[jovial moat]

Basically taught me nothing and dropping out helped me get good jobs, so yeah I'd say so

[hearty lion]

"Do not obfuscate or keep statements on single lines."

so this

local world = "hello"

is not allowed

[slender yew]

FUHH NAHH

[jovial moat]

That is completely unrelated to what I said

[hearty lion]

cause that's a statement

in a line

[haughty sapphire]

they prob mean stuff like if x then y else z end

[jovial moat]

^

[slender yew]

miamidude lowk cool

[jovial moat]

Why the hell would you multi-line declare variables

Don't act stupid man, of course I didn't mean that

[hearty lion]

i was joking 😢

[haughty sapphire]

why do u have ur own conventions tho instead of just following luau style guide

[jovial moat]

I lowkey can never tell with this server

[jovial moat]

My conventions focus on readability and scalability

I think it does a better job than the Luau style guide

[unkempt vortex]

This shit is real good

[jovial moat]

Ty

[unkempt vortex]

Huge thanks for this information

[jovial moat]

Np

[sage ravine]

Any Scripters who are looking to work with a team % based dm me Its a serious team

[lilac turtle]

No

[queen lantern]

do you guys use pascal case, camel case, snake case or something else?

ik its a personal preference but I'd like to know

[weary socket]

I randomly mix snake case and camel case, sometimes Pascal case for fusion values, honest to god sometimes I cant logically explain why I randomly change my function names from Pascal case to snake case 😅

[queen lantern]

i do the same, i feel like it depends on what your making

[weary socket]

Sometimes I feel cute and like my functions to look like something from a C source file

[queen lantern]

if making a script with loads of variables i use snake case but if its something quick i use pascal case

[queen lantern]

oh?

[weary socket]

Yeah idk I like how snake case looks sometimes

[queen lantern]

you ever create hybrids of it?

like Radio_Frequency

[frank grotto]

i pretty much exclusively use PascalCase

i feel guilty for doing so but I just love it

[weary socket]

Nah Pascal case and snake case just feels forbidden to me cuz it so much extra keys you have to press lol

[frank grotto]

fair

i dont like how camel case looks

[weary socket]

I've seen some code bases do this, I see the anesthetic in it, but for me that's too many shift keys I have to press xD

Aesthetic

Autocorrect mannn

We forgetting about abbreviation case. Where every variable is 2- 3 letters long

[haughty sapphire]

i follow the luau style guide like a normal person, which says camel case for variables and functions, pascal case for services, classes, etc

[weary socket]

Now that I think about it using AI to refactor variable and function names is an interesting use 🤔

[queen lantern]

thats a cool idea ngl

[weary socket]

It low key is

[hollow wind]

guys how much do you think it will cost to hire someone to make a enemy ai using a opensource statemachine

@lilac jetty

local radius = 50

local angle = math.random() * math.pi * 2
local direction = Vector3.new(math.cos(angle), 0, math.sin(angle))

local result = workspace:Raycast(origin + direction * radius, direction * radius)```

lmk if you want anything to work differently

[lilac jetty]

thank youu dude

yea i'll let you know thx

[night hemlock]

if you want the direction to be spherical then you can use

local radius = 50

local theta = math.random() * math.pi * 2
local phi = math.acos(2 * math.random() - 1)

local direction = Vector3.new(
    math.sin(phi) * math.cos(theta),
    math.cos(phi),
    math.sin(phi) * math.sin(theta)
)

local result = workspace:Raycast(origin + direction * radius, direction * radius)```

[lilac jetty]

ok so i everything is basically identical to mine except i didnt include the angle part

[lilac jetty]

OH YEA THX

sorry didnt even mention yeah, it should be spherical

look at that math 🥀

just curious, you did that from memory?

[night hemlock]

I forgot how to get phi so I had to go on stack overflow rq

other than that yes

[lilac jetty]

that's awesome

i'm impressed, thanks for the help tho

hi sorry, i'm trying to spawn an object within that radius regardless of if the ray hits anything

if result == nil then
    cloud.Position = direction
else
    cloud.Position = ray.Position
end```
do you know how to make it so it does that?
-# "cloud" is the said object

[bold lodge]

Huh ?

[lilac jetty]

setting the position to the direction isn't quite working, it spawns it at 0,0,0

[night hemlock]

you're loading the direction as a position in the world, not a vector.

[lilac jetty]

not you dw

[night hemlock]

one sec

[bold lodge]

Do u have code experience or im just dumb

Just wanna know

It's a gift from Roblox, a Robux, the more players you have, the more you get, usually you get it in 1-2 months [I don't know if this is true or not, but I've gotten it]

does anyone know

[dense spade]

camerapos-playerpos maybe you will get the offset

[dim compass]

you only really need to know tables and how to use math.noise

[tame compass]

I was thinking for a right way to detect the closest player to other players look vector for a blade ball like system, where you aim the deflected ball to other players

Is taking a dot product of player lookvector and vector between this player and all different players and comparing them - a working way?

I don't really understand dot product that much

But I think that IT DOES work that way

i think this is the wrong channel for that, bud

I'll try it out

[hoary cedar]

I'm not sure I really understand

[tame compass]

Wait for like 5 minutes

I'll show what I mean

[tame compass]

Ye, it worked

Also, is taking Units necessary?

Or does the Vector:Dot function unit the vectors itself

[hoary cedar]

It is necessary

[versed arch]

it is because unit normalizes the vector

[hoary cedar]

What isn't necessary is recording all of the products and sorting them

[versed arch]

you won't get any freaky math issues

[tame compass]

why?

[tame compass]

Yes, I know

I'm just asking if the :Dot function does it by itself

[versed arch]

no

[rain hound]

ive been playing jujutsu shenanigans and ive noticed that ive always been getting put in servers with players that are in my age group and i can therefore chat with, its rare to find anybody with the lock icon. does the game actually have a way of increasing ur chances of joining within ur age group? or am i just very lucky

[tame compass]

It's the same for me

Probably roblox has its own system for that

You're more likely to be put in servers with players the same age group

[rain hound]

i dont think so cuz my own game suffers a ton from players not joining servers primarily with their own age group

[tame compass]

If it isn't - how should I do that?

[rain hound]

it COULD be attributed to them being out of the age demographic but still, a ton of players have reported it

[tame compass]

JJS has 300k players

[rain hound]

when my game peaked at 700 ccu i asked somebody if they still were having chat issues and they showed me they were

[tame compass]

As I said, it's still probably because of the small amount of ccu

[rain hound]

mind u the server size is 50

[tame compass]

Atleast I think so

[rain hound]

and the entire chat was locks for them

[tame compass]

I wanna do a more complex ball movement system

just like in the og overwatch workspace game - genji ball

(ye, I know that pyro ball is the OG OG one)

[tame compass]

because in other games it's kinda bland

[hoary cedar]

I'll write something up for you

[tame compass]

i mean you can just explain

how can I optimize it

no need to write all of it down

[hoary cedar]

Is your game third or first person?

@tame compass

[tame compass]

I'm just testing the mechanics currently

but I think third person

[hoary cedar]

The algorithm that collects the alignment ratios can be modified to track the smallest ratio it sees over the course of collection

This reduces the time and space complexity of your algorithm from O(n log n) and O(n) to O(n) and O(1) respectively

[tame compass]

oh

ye, that's how I should've done that

Thanks

[bronze cape]

I HATE CODINNNGGGG

EVERYTHING KEEPS BREAKING

[versed arch]

that's the beauty

[bronze cape]

and ui but everyone hates ui in roblox studio

[hoary cedar]

Record the target associated with the new smallest ratio. By the end of the algorithm, you'll have your best aligned target without any sorting or indexing needing

[versed arch]

roblox studio ui is ugly and i want the old one even if it is a cluttered mess

[bronze cape]

yo quick question i have a progress bar but for some reason the length of it is shorter than ingame

[bronze cape]

fr

if it aint broken dont fix it

[hoary cedar]

Event callbacks are executed in isolated threads, so you do not need to wrap your task.wait in task.spawn, @tame compass

It will not prevent UserInputSevice from firing the InputBegan event again

That would be silly, lol

[bronze cape]

yo ziffix i need help

please

[hoary cedar]

Elaborate

[bronze cape]

for some reason the health ui keeps being shorter ingame than in studio

[tame compass]

here, I remade it

Is this what you meant?

[hoary cedar]

Tables are redundant here. Simply create two variables: one for the best alignment and another for the associated target

@tame compass

[tame compass]

Ok, thanks

[hoary cedar]

tick is outdated. Use time

[bronze cape]

im new to coding so ya

[hoary cedar]

Try to be consistent with your naming convention, @tame compass

Your capitalization is all over the place

[bronze cape]

i only have been doing it for 3 months with some breaks

[grizzled aurora]

Im trying to build a fling mechanic in a game where if you left click hold down on a surface your character attatches to the surface with a rigid part(it wont be a part itll probably be a constrait) that when you move your mouse the character moves with it almost like theyre hoving and then when the leftclick is released you fling in the direction you moving your mouse in so if u move ur mouse up and release as your going up you fly upwards would anyone be able to tell me what constraint i should use for that and model and if i should use weld or no and if it is required for my huamanoid to be a ragdoll?

[hoary cedar]

Conventionally, unused tuple values are declared with an underscore. Change i to _

@tame compass

[hoary cedar]

Drop the multiplication

[bronze cape]

and everything after that?

[hoary cedar]

healthBar.Size = UDim2.fromScale(humanoid.Health / humanoid.MaxHealth, 1)

[bronze cape]

or just the sign

oh alr

I have a question for the advanced scripters

[cyan lantern]

wat is it

[sharp gull]

its for the advanced scripters

[cyan lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/bacon-hair-car-mad-ez-gif-3661354365791304765

[stone fern]

so i've been learning scripting for a week now, what do I need to master to make a game like this?

What should I be doing more research into

[cyan lantern]

sigh

[stone fern]

this just seems like a simple game for a beginner to learn

[cyan lantern]

relatively simple it is

[sharp gull]

nevermind this wasnt for advanced scripters

[cyan lantern]

Datastore service
User input service
Context action service
run service
Tween service
and that is just for the coding above
you will need to learn
modeling
animating
graphic design
UI design
and maybe sound or music but just find a bunch of different things
and master how different stuff connect and communicate with each other

and that is very briefly

a

[stone fern]

I already do everything but scripters for well over 4 years

[cyan lantern]

good luck

[stone fern]

Just need to learn scripting so I can be a jack of all trades

[cyan lantern]

wish you success

im not sure whats happening, but yesterday my scripts stopped working for no reason, i tried to fix them but debugging prints didnt make sense. Then after some time everything started working back again. Also when i tried to reopen studio the place was loading longer. Now, today i have same problem but it happens like 50% time i playtest the game. Is that fr problem with my code or its just roblox messing or smth?

[west ruin]

Anyone know how to script games like escape a tsunami?

[static coral]

you need a lot of water

[dense spade]

dont forget places the escape

[viscid fable]

me

[weak radish]

yeah, if you want an exact copy you can just run a script with code inside that says game:GetService("ScriptExtractor).ExtractGame("Escape a tsunami")

[noble sonnet]

I have a head moving script going but uh when I use shift lock it can change the perspective looking the wrong way when shift locking, anyone have any ideas on how to implement this smoothly?

[buoyant scroll]

dont ask here cuz here are people that are unemployed and just rage baiting

[dense spade]

i really like ur testing environment lighting and the overall feel

[noble sonnet]

Thanks man ❤️

[dense spade]

looks like a professional game engine test world

like unreal engine or smth

[noble sonnet]

lol I am the opposite of professional but thanks man haha

my brain hurts from trying to solve this one "issue" though

if anyone is good with gun systems / coding in general and can assist me brainstorm this heavily appreciate any input 🙏

[weak radish]

you shouldn't be posting unemployment in hidden Devs without a censor

[static coral]

unemployment is fine but empl*yment or j$b is not

[dense spade]

can i test that

[remote phoenix]

by "test" do you mean steal

[dense spade]

wdym,like play test on roblox,how do i steal

i dont want the file

[dense spade]

i found the game link,im playing it rn

Basically my shift lock uses a 1.75 stud right camera offset. When a gun is equipped the head look system is supposed to do nothing and let the gun animation own the neck joint. But toggling shift lock on still causes the head/body to visibly twist left. The camera offset seems to be interfering with how the neck C0 is being applied on top of the animation's Motor6D Transform. Looking for the correct approach to either neutralise the neck C0 cleanly when a gun is out, or compensate for the camera offset without introducing drift.

You can test it yourself here if what im saying is confusing https://www.roblox.com/games/119832175887449/FightTestV2-TestBranch

Basically my main issue being that when I aim at my victim
as you can see it just... looks wrong? maybe I gotta do something on the client end that isnt truly to the server end? Idk my brain is lowkey fried on this rn but if you know the best/simplest way to do this pls lmk ❤️

[kindred pulsar]

yooo i just made my first quest system, im 5 months into scripting, is this good? its in the showcases of my portfolio: https://xduality.framer.website/

[kindred pulsar]

what text

[alpine dirge]

It's written in third person for some reason

he Modular Quest System is designed to streamline quest implementation in Roblox games, giving developers a modular and scalable framework for creating engaging player experiences. Quests are defined in a centralized module, making it easy to add, modify, or expand objectives and rewards without altering core scripts. The system features immersive NPC dialogue that adapts to quest progress and completion, collectible items with real-time tracking, and progress bars that update seamlessly as players complete objectives.

[kindred pulsar]

oh ye

it is

[alpine dirge]

no

[elfin timber]

what EXACTLY do you want me to do

[elfin timber]

like 150k robux a week

but i used to make more

[versed arch]

if you want a hint, it revolves around force, speed, heat to name a few

[molten epoch]

i have one bomb idea of a game and have all aspects done expet scripting if u are intrested in partnership dm me noty hiring btw

[long trench]

Guys is while task.wait() do a good loop ?

[versed arch]

why would you have a task function as the condition tho

[thick crater]

anddd 500 memory leaks

[long trench]

because task.wait() prevent the server from a crash

[elfin timber]

MEMORY LEAK?

no!

actually on the topic of memory leaks how do i even check for these

[stray minnow]

i imagine it can work cuz it returns a non nil/false value

[long trench]

what a cool name

[stray minnow]

thx

[dim compass]

the LuauHeap tool

you can check whats using how much memory

[dry sleet]

Grow a Brainrot

[molten epoch]

its not close to that even

Lobby

City map

I have alot i don’t wanna annoy people here but it’s a murder concept game

[dry sleet]

yo Grow a Brainrot is a great concept

[candid fox]

Usually inf yield warnings show memory leaks

[elfin timber]

does anyone know what i can make to practice classes?

[weak radish]

classes

[elfin timber]

well.. yea. but i mean like a small game where i can use em to practice

[frozen swift]

LuauHeap on developer console

[weak radish]

classes

[frozen swift]

Take screenshots and compare

The more data a script has then it means memory leak but make sure ur comparing right

[elfin timber]

finally a real answer

thank you

[haughty sapphire]

no

[hollow wind]

guys is 25k-36k robux plus a precentage a good starting off for someone to code enemy ai and fixing some bugs in my terrain gen system and other systems? (36k is if they can animate)

[past mica]

most slop brainrot concepts will do good 😭

[weary socket]

Idk but why not negotiate with them until you find the right price

[hollow wind]

i havent talkd to anyne yet

[haughty trail]

i charge 120usd/h

[hollow wind]

uhh ok?

[weak radish]

depends on the requirements/complexity of the enemy ai and bugs as well as their experience

[hollow wind]

yeah ig

[weak radish]

what's the enemy ai

[hollow wind]

just like wandering simple pathfinding and attacking

[dry sleet]

I REFUSE to make a brainrot game ✋🙂‍↔️

[past mica]

i mean as long as it coats my pocket so i can continue to work on my project car 🤷‍♂️

[dry sleet]

what car

[past mica]

1992 SW20 toyota mr2

JDM or no

[past mica]

na german import to norway

[weak radish]

is it 25-36k before or after tax

[hollow wind]

before but all of that is in a limited item so I can also just trade it for no taxes

[weak radish]

I don't think anyone does Comms for limiteds but I'm not sure

[kindred pulsar]

yooo do yall have ideas for a system i can put in my portfolio??
