raycast better

[hazy imp]

I WANT FPS

[thorny osprey]

do it urself man

the game

[thorny osprey]

it not work like that man

[hazy imp]

yyy

90%

😭

[dense hull]

hey just watch an basic tutorial for how to make an gun system there really good ones i heard which get you started

[thorny osprey]

if somebody have fps system

they can make their own game

[small prawn]

Wait u want to make valorant in roblox?

[thorny osprey]

why they have to give u

[hazy imp]

kinda

[thorny osprey]

i made

[small prawn]

[hazy imp]

o

[thorny osprey]

[hazy imp]

can i see 👀

[small prawn]

I think hes joking

[hazy imp]

m

I'm a builder

cause I'm to dum to script

[dense spade]

im smart to script

[small prawn]

Whats stopping a scripter from making there own game lol

[hazy imp]

NO

LIESSS

[hazy imp]

the map

[hazy imp]

you is lyings

[hazy imp]

scripting is impossable

[dense spade]

[thorny osprey]

project v

[regal salmon]

idk man i be doing it just fine

[small prawn]

Im sure if most people spent enough time on it they could get a decent looking map and then publish game and pay a builder for the map later on

[small prawn]

Its not

[hazy imp]

o

[thorny osprey]

wtf

[hazy imp]

i noes dis one

[thorny osprey]

it's not

[small prawn]

Maybe not everyone but if they are that desperate

[hazy imp]

it is for me

[thorny osprey]

ok then go away

if I wanted to go about making a voxel game like minecraft

what would be the best method to go about making the voxels

as in what kinda instance type

[hasty mesa]

part

editable meshs when the get improved

[remote bear]

Mate, chill

[thorny osprey]

he dont want to learn

n ask for give him a fps system

even say scripting is impossible

[remote bear]

Then just say no then go on with your day. You have no reason to bully him

[cyan fractal]

i can tell

[hazy imp]

👍

[midnight hearth]

Can someone help with interactions?

[cyan fractal]

no

[novel portal]

Yo what do I do after dev king tutorial

[versed sierra]

make smth

idk like a currency system

using leaderstats

[novel portal]

I’ve made one it’s just idk how to put everything together

[versed sierra]

then figure it out

thats the best solution

👍

Struggle is key bc atleast u learn

[wind portal]

My struggle.

Rate this massive code whose sole purpose is to make a switch move 😭

[celest bloom]

the carbon levels are through the roof

[astral magnet]

stop fusing helium then smh

[humble maple]

it pains me how I can't just do CFrame.Position.X = ...
what was Roblox thinking 💔

[modern seal]

i should write like ths and see my dev partners reaction whn he reads myy code

[wind portal]

I feel I saw you somewhere else.

[modern seal]

i love trolling my partne

[wind portal]

Nice man.

[astral magnet]

?

[modern seal]

when he tabs back in :333 jumpscare boo

[astral magnet]

Lol-

[celest bloom]

just multiply the object's pivot by CFrame.new(5, 0, 0)

[humble maple]

That's what bothers me, having to create a new CFrame instance just to move something slightly

does that not impact performance, or does Roblox have some sort of automatic pooling system

[celest bloom]

barely

they get assigned to the stack im pretty sure

the memory is negligible

[celest bloom]

also its not an instance in the roblox sense

[humble maple]

I see, it's crazy how limited Roblox too, I mainly code my games using frameworks so not being able to do some stuff in Roblox that I'm able to do in there is shocking

for example, UI not having blend modes for whatever reason

[celest bloom]

making a table of the vector3
{X = 13, Y = 42, Z = 32}

would be more expensive than making a vector3 directly im pretty sure

[haughty trail]

?

there is a builtin vector type aswell

[wind portal]

Weld constraints.

[haughty trail]

take a look at it

[celest bloom]

yes but thats not the point of the conversation

[cedar bough]

I feel like I've turned into a catboy reading this

[hasty crater]

being able to change individual components of something doesn't require a table if that's what you're referring to, e.g. Instances are are not tables

[celest bloom]

not what i was talking about

[hasty crater]

oh well

[indigo ice]

Is #scripter-hiring highly competitive?

[slender light]

does anyone know how to properly make it so an impact particle set like, emits properly on like explosion

[slender light]

like without the rapid spam

of the particles

[ruby kite]

youtuber ahh voice

[versed arch]

imo, i would just use a particle emitter and change the texture of the particles, but that isn't exactly efficient

maybe someone in vfx can help

[tulip quarry]

How long of a scripting experience should some1 be recommended to have before doing commissions 🤔

[candid fox]

probably like 3 months

[regal salmon]

there is no set amount of time you will take to be ready for commissions
everyone learns at a different pace, so it depends on how quickly you can learn and how skilled you are

[versed arch]

when you've made probably like, three different games imo, but there is no threshold in general

[indigo ice]

What's the usual amount of time of experience that ppl would want?

Is it 1 yr

[regal salmon]

on average it's 2-3 years

but there are jobs that take less

[distant hamlet]

none

years of experience doesnt mean shit

[minor jacinth]

not its 1 day

[distant hamlet]

as long as you have decent works u will get hired

[minor jacinth]

just use claude and dont take comms skip to being a solo dev

[distant hamlet]

theres a reason ur unemployed

[hollow summit]

smart ppl just care about results, not really the tools or exp directly. i'd just put in effort into the portfolio

[distant hamlet]

some are picky about tools

so it is a good idea to familiarize urself with the skid standards

[cloud garnet]

yo

can anyone help

why isnt this working

local button = script.Parent
local frame = game.StarterGui.ControlsGui.TargetGUI

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
frame.Visible = true
end)
print("done")

[distant hamlet]

starter gui

use player gui

and dont ask how

look it up

[cloud garnet]

im lowk dumb ty

oh wait

ur dumb

i alrdy have it in starter gui

[fringe urchin]

yall i have 1 video left in the brawldev guy beginner playlist but idk if i should watch the advanced one(since its 19h long) or idk do smthn else
people in his server r telling me to watch it

[solid pecan]

yo chat im willing to work as a (scripter) for anybody with a good game idea, DM me (free of any charge btw, doing this for experiences)

[azure jay]

StarterGui is just a template, not what the player is actually seeing.

[iron kraken]

GRAH

[kindred pulsar]

yall give me an idea for a system to make

[kindred pulsar]

ye what the player is seeing is PlayerGui

[shell saddle]

do anyone know how to make perfect sound regions?

like hard regions so they wont fade

[jovial moat]

You could use mesh parts to cut out regions and then shapecast

[shell saddle]

huh- but i dont wanna use big ass loops bc then it could create lag

[jovial moat]

You're not looping

[shell saddle]

then im dumb or smth

[jovial moat]

Tbh I'm sure there is something on the DevForum or GitHub for it

[humble maple]

A custom Rotation Gizmo (ArcHandle) system that has the ability to rotate from all axes instead of relying on pressing a specific axis, like blender's rotation gizmo

[tulip quarry]

In terms of published games or just 3 games for fun

[kindred pulsar]

i decided to make a movement system

[real mantle]

Does anyone know a workaround for BreakJointsOnDeath

[ember nimbus]

a workaround that does what

[next compass]

DMs

[tacit peak]

Anyone know how I would handle rendering a bunch of 3d meshes in my engine with opengl, I thought about using a entity component system with a render component but idk if thats the best way to do it

[versed arch]

doesn't matter

[tulip quarry]

Ah ok, ty

[lost fractal]

just have a good portfolio honestly

well, doesn't have to be good, just decent

[fringe urchin]

yall i just finished some beginners playlist idk what i should do now if i should move to the advanced playlist or not

[modern aspen]

imaginary technique: random number

[modern aspen]

if you like it and understand everything - you can try making some sort of project that combine all your knowledge(should be very small project) and then go to advanced one

[echo stream]

make something

maaaaaaaaakeu somethingu

[fringe urchin]

lowkey im kinda bored of tuts
like i kept skipping in the tables vid and barely understood it lmao they shouldnt have made it one of the last vids

[fringe urchin]

like???

im not gonna make a game i hate long term projects

[modern aspen]

maybe its better to read than watch?

[lavish sphinx]

If you feel confident move on if not practice making random things that use what you learned from the first playlist

[modern aspen]

or maybe it just not for you

[fringe urchin]

lowkey that might be a good idea i liked the python ourse

course*

[modern aspen]

you will eventually burn out if you hate programming on luau, so yeah

[fringe urchin]

but hte docs r for explaining like niche stuff arent they?

i havent found any written courses for luau

[modern aspen]

you can try to summarize videos/docs with AI and ask only related to your stuff things

[fringe urchin]

isnt ai bad at luau?

someone told me that

[lavish sphinx]

Not if you know what to say

[modern aspen]

claude - no, but I mean other thing

[lavish sphinx]

I use Claude to help design stuff

[modern aspen]

summarize HUMAN written material, you can find resources of it online for free

[fringe urchin]

i use cladue for everythign other than coding lol

ohh okok i get it

[modern aspen]

claude is the best for coding, but is decent for everything else

[lavish sphinx]

Have you hooked Claude up to studio?

[fringe urchin]

i can do that??

[modern aspen]

dont do it

you will be depended on it and its bad as novice in luau

[fringe urchin]

im gonna stop coding and start vibecoding lol

[modern aspen]

yeah

[echo stream]

yall just convinced this poor guy to vibecode

[fringe urchin]

u got good resources btw?

[modern aspen]

anyway, learn something only when you need it, maybe it will be better case for you

[lavish sphinx]

I use it but I don’t let it code for me I just use it to help work through bugs

[echo stream]

im cryen

[modern aspen]

im not?

[fringe urchin]

lmao

[lavish sphinx]

It’s super useful when it can look through the code itself

[modern aspen]

i generally said, summarize material, not use it

[modern aspen]

bro not for novice pls

it will end bad

[fringe urchin]

anyways i found a good challenge list im gonna try and do them
but do yall have like good resources?

[modern aspen]

when you know what are you doing - it can be helpful

[modern aspen]

just do it?

[fringe urchin]

ye i already did the first one

[lavish sphinx]

Yea I get that

[modern aspen]

if Im doing fighting game, I will read only about these mechanics and look how are they done

[lavish sphinx]

If you don’t already understand luau really well don’t use ai yet

[icy heron]

Resources how?

[fringe urchin]

like to get better at luau

[modern aspen]

after my code is ended - I can ask people on this discord what is good/bad in my code so they recommend to fix it in my next projects

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1454440658147344434/1482091940634951811/togif.gif

[fringe urchin]

im not doing any games ngl i dont like doing any long term projects

[modern aspen]

its basically it

[fringe urchin]

ohh so i just spam every code i make here?

[modern aspen]

you can just do something simple

[fringe urchin]

ye i did a welcome message system
local phrases = {"Welcome!", "Glad you're here!", "Let's go!"}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local random = phrases[math.random(#phrases)]
print(player.Name, random)
end)

[lavish sphinx]

Start by making basic things like leaderstats or basic systems

[fringe urchin]

i stole the phrases frrom ai because i dont got any welcome phrases in mind

the rest is all me tho

lowkey the auto complete in the editor is quite useful

[modern aspen]

its kinda dumb btw

[fringe urchin]

but useful

[modern aspen]

anyway, find something that you want to do and just do

[lavish sphinx]

Sometimes it hallucinates worse than the ai

[modern aspen]

thats all, no secret

[fringe urchin]

isnt it ai?

i thought they make their ai assistant auto complete

[lavish sphinx]

🤷‍♂️

[modern aspen]

every coding session - can feel like short-term if you are in the flow state

so just find something that fits you

we cannot do it for you, cuz you know yourself better

or just join any gamejam

thats how I learned a lot

[fringe urchin]

is wait() and task.wait() different?

[fringe urchin]

roblox has game jams???

i thought only like yk real games have these

[lavish sphinx]

Only use task.wait

[fringe urchin]

why?

[fathom pebble]

Also only use math.random()

[modern aspen]

yes

like youtubers do it

[icy heron]

It tskes one google search man

[fringe urchin]

no

[fringe urchin]

i didnt know about that
but that needs multiple skills so i cant do it prob

[modern aspen]

just try? its free?

learn as you go, why you stop yourself

[fringe urchin]

ok thanks i didnt know roblox has them

[snow veldt]

Yeah you should use task.wait

I believe it has no delay. task.wait() is the equivalent to RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()

but sometimes wait can have a delay when it resumes thread

[fringe urchin]

i dont know what the last one is but ok ill use task.wait

[snow veldt]

Heartbeat is just an event that fires every single frame

[icy heron]

Its also more accurate

[fathom pebble]

Exactly, that’s why it’s better to use math.random then the new class

[celest whale]

hello evryne

is there any way to wait until map loads on server's / client's side?

[fathom pebble]

Yeah

[versed arch]

either waitforchild or just put a task.wait

oh wait

[fathom pebble]

Wait for child better

[versed arch]

yeah just do waitforchild

[fathom pebble]

Makes more sense then task.wait

[celest whale]

how i know, the instance of part/mesh already being created but the mesh of part doesn't load that quick

if the map is big

so i need or a way to wait until map fully renders and loads, or a way to load it faster

thats what im asking

[fathom pebble]

It should all load at once no?

[versed arch]

waitforchild yields everything until the instance loads

[icy heron]

Doesnt replicated first do something rekated to it

[fathom pebble]

Alternatively always keep the map loaded but switch off its visibility and collides

[celest whale]

yea but still i guess you saw that maps doesn't load quick in some games

like it loads part-by-part

[celest whale]

sure ill try

[celest whale]

maybe it does... thanks for a hint

[versed arch]

you use replicated first to load things that need to be loaded before anything else (i.e the loading screen)

[icy heron]

Doesnt it have skme methods related to what he wanred tho?

Havent had a reason to uss it yet so idk exactly

[versed arch]

you dont need any methods, anything that needs to be loaded first gets loaded in and then all the other stuff gets loaded in afterwards

[fringe urchin]

uhh i feel like the script is bad
local part = script.Parent
debounce = false
part.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
local player = otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if player and not debounce then
debounce = true
local Part = Instance.new("Part")
Part.Name = "Rain"
Part.Parent = game.Workspace
Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
x = math.random(-100, 100)
z = math.random(-100, 100)
Part.Position = Vector3.new(x, 100, z)
task.wait(1)
debounce = false
end
end)
like idk i feel like its too long just to make it rain 1 part in a ccustom postion in a custom color whenever i touch a part

r scripts supposed to be this long for simple stuff?

oh i also forgot to make some variables local lol

[versed arch]

yeah

or yk you can make a function and call it

[fringe urchin]

uhh im too lazy ngl it was just a challenge

[signal valve]

are cframes comparable with numbers

like (cframe) >= 1000

[remote bear]

No they are made up of two vectors

to compare location or rotation you would have to say CFrame.Position.X >=1000

[novel parrot]

whats exactly wrong from deprecated stuff

[naive mica]

anyone wanna help me in my game

[paper flame]

what game yo

[naive mica]

lemme tell u priv

[icy dew]

Often there’s a new and better way of doing whatever is deprecated. Like maybe the new function is more efficient, more secure, something like that

[deft ibex]

day 2 of learning to script, im making good progress I would say! If my code is unorganized is there any tips I can use to make it more organized?

[hoary cedar]

This is great for day 2

You've already grasped boolean expressions more than most at your stage

Great job with canBuy

In Luau, it's conventional to localize all variables with the local keyword

wait is also long deprecated. Use task.wait from hereon

[naive mica]

anyone wanna help me in my game

[visual tree]

I've never seen it in white mode

[grim hemlock]

I thought not using local for variables won't work..

[deft ibex]

yea I heard this from rodevs

heres the updated one tho

[hoary cedar]

You can also take advantage of string interpolation, now that it's a feature in Luau:

print(`You have {playerGold - swordPrice} gold left!`)

[deft ibex]

whoops

here

[visual tree]

I genuinely get flashed when you show those SS

[hoary cedar]

canBuy should be localized as well

[visual tree]

[deft ibex]

o ok lol

[glossy slate]

[deft ibex]

what

[visual tree]

What

[grim hemlock]

This is good for a 2nd day scripter tbh, but just so you know later on when you are gonna build an actual game, you might wanna use event function (remotes, local script and server script) and maybe not use task.wait before/after you print something, unless you are trying to do smth else. You can use print after doing something, like maybe at the start of the event function you can do the first print statement, then see the weapon cost, etc. But overall, its good

[versed arch]

yeah this is good for day 2

[deft ibex]

ok I will try that next time thanks!

[deft ibex]

thanks!

[grim hemlock]

Np. You are doing great 👍

[versed arch]

he also has to learn how a for loop works and how tables are iterated through

[grim hemlock]

Oh .

Yeah

[deft ibex]

yea im learning soon

[grim hemlock]

Mb I think i got a lil too far. You should master the basics first. Thats my bad.

Also your canbuy looks like it is a variable, so you might want to put local before canbuy. Like, local canBuy = playerGold >= swordPrice and playerLevel >= swordLevel

[deft ibex]

yea sometimes I think about that

also is it valid to rip free models and try to understand their code

[grim hemlock]

Yeah. Idk much*

I guess

But try to learn from tutorials as well. Also

Be careful of these lines in a free model

require(random numbers)

Replace the random numbers with actual random numbers. These are viruses in free models

[hoary cedar]

In 2026, no

The code quality is subpar

[grim hemlock]

I don't really get how you get the skill roles though. Will you help..?

[regal salmon]

requirements and applications are here: https://hiddendevs.com/bulletin?id=2

[grim hemlock]

Alr thx

[plush badge]

does someone know a roblox 2 discord public bot

[inland dragon]

Just code it yourself not hard at all

[plush badge]

im rlly ass at coding

[inland dragon]

Claude js ask it to write it you

Or learn how to code

[winged bough]

yo does anyone know how I can accept user input in a rolox plugin, like delete key to delete something, or Control Z and Y to undo and redo?

[plush badge]

u think he wld do a goodjob

Ik alrezdy im gon be struggling him

[weak flax]

yo does anyone know how to use ui gradiants? that could help me rq

[inland dragon]

Watch a video on youtube

[weak flax]

no its like very specific

[inland dragon]

Ask ai

[deft ibex]

what about newer models if I find any

[indigo torrent]

honestly, i dont know about current but search simulator kits and try to change its currency name and etc and try changing it up a bit

That would give you a good practice and the code is fairly simple too

Thats the way i learnt scripting, without any tutorials

[deft ibex]

alr ill try soon, for now ima try building

[hoary cedar]

Bet

[deft ibex]

Im just using coddy

its duolingo for coding and it isnt visualy good

but its working

[weak flax]

dms'

[hoary cedar]

Why can't we talk here?

That's the point of this channel

[weak flax]

oh

could u try to do this??

[hoary cedar]

What am I looking at exactly?

[weak flax]

its a power wheel

for a game

[weak flax]

^

[autumn oyster]

do any professional devs in here actually regularly use the debugger?

[hoary cedar]

I'd need to see more states

@weak flax

[autumn oyster]

it seems like a huge hassle to use to me it only comes in handy sometimes

[weak flax]

wdym

i have no idea on how to use ui gradients

[hoary cedar]

I always do

[autumn oyster]

maybe if i pulled up the game view on one monitor and code on the other

so switching between code and viewport isn’t annoying

[autumn oyster]

in place of print statements?

[hoary cedar]

print calls are redundant as you can log messages via the debugger. You can even make them conditional

[autumn oyster]

hm? how so

[hoary cedar]

You can enable or disable them in one place, and remove them all at once

Being able to iterate through your code and observe state change on a wider scale is much better

[autumn oyster]

that’s true

and on paper

to me it sounds so much better

but maybe it just takes some getting used to

[hoary cedar]

It is infinitely better. It comes in handy with more complex code, like recursive algorithms

[hoary cedar]

Took me about a day, lol

[autumn oyster]

this could be extremely true

okay i’ll give it a proper try

do you ever use print statements when you’re too lazy to open the debugger lol

[hoary cedar]

Rarely

[weak flax]

yo

[autumn oyster]

alright thank you man your feedback was amazing

[weak flax]

could u try to do it pls?

[hoary cedar]

You haven't given me enough context on how the gradient works with the GUI

[weak flax]

ok

[hoary cedar]

I need to see the power wheel in different states

[weak flax]

thats it

its always in that state

when u go mad power

the full thing is full

[autumn oyster]

one last question but it’s a bit more personal, do you work in a studio?

or a team i guess

[weak flax]

the colors will stay the same no matter what power

[hoary cedar]

I work with a game development studio, yes

[weak flax]

@hoary cedar

heres an example

of what u mean

[autumn oyster]

that’s sick, i want to make a living off roblox one day and im definitely at a solid level where i could but i never took any steps towards actually finding work lol

did you find the studio or did they find you?

[weak flax]

yo if anyone knows how to work with ui gradients and like ui in general can u pls join my vc? https://discord.com/channels/211228845771063296/1138239895182266449 (I cant talk can siomeone just help me through it?

[hoary cedar]

I landed my position in a very unorthadox way

But I techncially found them

[weak radish]

Strange channel choice

[weak flax]

@royal hamlet

yo

[hoary cedar]

Seeing if I can mock this up...

[autumn oyster]

ah sick

does project structure typically vary hugely between teams? is there one specific structure that teams stick to?

atm i use a pretty solid system that follows the SRP

everything is grouped in folders by feature

all code and assets for that specific feature lives in the folder

could i expect something like that or something wildly different

[weak radish]

probably not the best idea to aim to make a living from roblox

[autumn oyster]

why not?

it’s something i’m very good at and enjoy a huge ton

[weak radish]

do we look like roblox admins

[hoary cedar]

How does one unban your account? Lol

[hoary cedar]

Yes

Funnily enough, the structure I loved the most was a feature-per-folder architecture

[autumn oyster]

it’s so good

[hoary cedar]

I made my own spinoff: https://github.com/Ziffixture/Roblox/blob/main/FolderPerFeature.md

[weak radish]

maybe we're meant to gather evidence and take roblox to court

[autumn oyster]

dude

this is exactly how i structure my projects wtf

that’s sick

atleast extremely similarly

i expose public functions for the feature through a module script

with a script that initialises the module script

in the future i was planning to add a single bootstrapper that calls init on all the modules but i wasn’t sure how to go about that so ive been putting it off for now

[weak radish]

You should make one but with scripting rules that are really pointless like one someone made that said all variable names must be in alphabetical order

[autumn oyster]

and making a text file full of rules

is actually a really good idea

i never thought of

i sort of keep track of the rules mentally

i’ve some such as if a service is ever used at all in the module

it must be defined at the top

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")```

helps with context when initially opening the script

[autumn oyster]

same thing with any custom Singletons

[remote bear]

dude cars. now i have to make it usable for mutiple textured/ non textured meshes

[ocean ferry]

lol

Is the game like flighting simulation or sum

i recently started make a game from scratch and im not using much modules

[autumn oyster]

no aha

i’d say it’s just a quirk of how my game is organized

mentally i know where everything is and what everything does

[ocean ferry]

Idk why i personally think many modules its a problem

[autumn oyster]

and where all the functions for a specific action are

[autumn oyster]

i think it depends

[ocean ferry]

I work on a game was FULL OF MODULES EVERYWHERE

[autumn oyster]

there’s no problem with doing what i’m doing

[autumn oyster]

ahaha well yea that’s just horrid game organization lol

[ocean ferry]

i had to do some hardcoding and re-adapt the stuff for make it work and an actually unexploiteable cuz stuff like stuns and others was clientsided instead server sided

Stamina client sided

[autumn oyster]

stamina usually should be client sided

[ocean ferry]

Yes and no

[autumn oyster]

if it’s only used for sprinting

[ocean ferry]

For racing game with ping factors you can make a small window of verify if you have the right calculations

[autumn oyster]

the player has network ownership over their character

[ocean ferry]

Actually anti WS for racing games its possible if u use a custom formula

[autumn oyster]

ah well that’s where an anticheat comes in

[ocean ferry]

I love do anticheats

and break them

[autumn oyster]

but if you don’t have a movement ac

[ocean ferry]

im used to hop on random games and check any vulnerability

i get used to break monad studio games

[autumn oyster]

i’m very good at finding game vulnerabilities lol

[ocean ferry]

Rogue and deepwoken

[autumn oyster]

have you ever played azure mines

[ocean ferry]

I heard about iot

it*

[autumn oyster]

really sophisticated dupe for it

jailbreak?

[ocean ferry]

obv

[autumn oyster]

dupe for it too lol

bedwars?

[ocean ferry]

nope

[autumn oyster]

60k active players with serversided execution 😵‍💫

[ocean ferry]

x d

in rogue i found a pretty technical vulnerability

did u hear or played rogue lineage?

[autumn oyster]

i’ve heard of it but never played it

[ocean ferry]

so i can explain a rng manipulation

there is a zone where u can rerol lfor 250 silver a random spell right

there some spells are hard as hell for get BUT

since the shit lua uses a 32 bits based formula will select the smaller values

so i found a form for manipulate the rng by checking the memory pages with another math.random call

like reroll face aspect

until i found the correct memory address and match it with a seed equal to the shit i want

boom free race rerolls, free spells

[autumn oyster]

memory address…?

[ocean ferry]

manipulating the fucking reality

i kinda need re explain it cuz was long time ago

[autumn oyster]

the math.random calls are made on the server

what are you talking about what memory address dude

[ocean ferry]

let me

[autumn oyster]

actually tapping into roblox server memory lmfao

[ocean ferry]

explain a sec im kinda dumb for it

[autumn oyster]

and what memory pages??

dude what

[ocean ferry]

this works brute forcing mathrandom global state or the random.new nextnumbers() states through leaked high precision outputs and forcing the server call the functions until i reach the state i want

[autumn oyster]

but sure you don’t know the initial seed

[ocean ferry]

the number its created thorugh 2 random calls merming two 32 bit unasinged integers into one before casting it into a double

upper32 bit are discarted so only the lower ones are used

[autumn oyster]

yea

but

if i remember correctly, no matter how hard you try you can reverse a seed from even a thousand math.random outputs that are straight number outputs it won’t work

forget high-precision outputs

[ocean ferry]

as i said i can get the leaks with the free random calls like reroll face or mana color

Since the gacha uses a system randomly sets the viewport ambient and lightcolor to precise color values

rbx luau math.random uses the pcg32 algorithm its easy to brute force

[autumn oyster]

no dude

you can’t brute force the pcg32 algorithm

that’s what i was literally just talking about

you know what

i could actually be wrong

but

i remember looking into this before and that being the case

[ocean ferry]

used an instance i rented double 4090 rig wich was able to crack it in less of 1 minute

[autumn oyster]

let’s say that’s true, you still don’t get raw internal values sent from the server

how precise were the outputs?

[ocean ferry]

when i found the state u can locally bruteforce it and simply increment the state ingame until u reach the one i waint, this done through actions that make server call math.random or nextnumber depending of game

actual engineering just for roblox

https://tenor.com/view/vrchat-vr-at-the-store-store-sakura-chiyono-o-gif-13406293958927851440

[autumn oyster]

if your number output isn’t completely spot on seed recovery becomes infeasible

where did you get raw math.random outputs from?

[ocean ferry]

i gotta found all my setup

this shit was funny until someone leaked it

[autumn oyster]

on the server

[limpid fern]

oop wrong channel

[autumn oyster]

lol

[ocean ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/agnes-tachyon-agnes-uma-musume-uma-dance-gif-4278132742242205188

[limpid fern]

Right yes but like. Should I do it in a table, a number value, or what

I've never understood how to PROPERLY store temporary data like votes or similar

same goes for server age and etc

[autumn oyster]

i’d personally

use a dictionary of arrays

so

[ocean ferry]

im never going to repeat that crazy shit i did fr

btw its patched now

🔥

its harder get the fucking states unless the game its made wit hthe ass

[limpid fern]

right but i'd need to update it every time and access once the timer ends

[autumn oyster]

local votes = {
   FFA = {},
   Team = {}
}```

[limpid fern]

would i make it a module or smth

[autumn oyster]

yes

then clear it after

[ocean ferry]

hai!! client its spamming values into table.. owner what i should do :3? ignore player calls if he did one?

[autumn oyster]

you could just honestly have it stored in a variable in your voting script

assuming it won’t need to be accessed by other scripts

[limpid fern]

i doubt it would

its just a gamemode and map voting system

[autumn oyster]

what are you talking about dude

[autumn oyster]

that’s perfect so then

[ocean ferry]

im just trolling

[autumn oyster]

everytime somebody votes for let’s say ffa

[limpid fern]

but then should i store players usernames inside it or numbers like 1, 2, 3

[autumn oyster]

i would store players

as an array

so

table.insert(votes.FFA, player)```

then you can do

[limpid fern]

yeah

[autumn oyster]

print(#votes.FFA)

and check what array is the largest and continue with your logic there

[autumn oyster]

just always make sure to do table.find to check if a player has already voted

and either don’t let him vote or remove his old vote and add the new one lol

[limpid fern]

yup

tysm

[jagged mortar]

@stark kernel

Look at dms @stark kernel

[regal salmon]

💀

[cloud vigil]

yoo

anyone here

[regal salmon]

whats up

[cloud vigil]

wth

[regal salmon]

nice try lol

[cloud vigil]

alr LOL

uh, can you help me understand parameters, its the only thing holding me back

[regal salmon]

parameters are essentially variables that you set when you call a function, and can then be used in that function
for example:

function myFunction(parameter1, parameter2)
  print(parameter1) -- will print "Hello, World!"
  print(parameter2) -- will print "Goodbye, World!"
end

myFunction("Hello, World!", "Goodbye, World!") -- passes the strings as parameter1 and parameter2

you can also pass in variables as parameters

function myFunction(parameter1)
  print(parameter1) -- will print "Hello, World!"
end

local myString = "Hello, World!"
myFunction(myString) -- passes the string varialbe as parameter1

[cloud vigil]

hm ok

i see them used a ton

and it still is fuzzy to me

[regal salmon]

yes they are very useful lol

[cloud vigil]

can u give me a better exampole

of something in a simulatior

[regal salmon]

say you want to add money to a player's balance

function addMoney(player, amount)
  -- assumes leaderstats exists and adds the amount passed to the player's money
  player.leaderstats.Money.Value += amount
end

-- example method of obtaining a player
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player --[[this is also a parameter]])
  local amountToAdd = 20
  addMoney(player, amountToAdd) -- will add 20 coins to the player's balance
end)

[royal marten]

Can you explain why we have to use pcall?
Instead of doing if nil == return

In context of detecting whether a player joined for the first time

[cloud vigil]

so that parameter has to mean something when u call it in a function

[regal salmon]

pcall allows for error handling without completely stopping a code
so if you get an error within a pcall function, you can simply continue on after

[regal salmon]

it can be nil, but that's only if its not a requirement for it to be passed

[royal marten]

Ohh because usually when there’s an error the code stops?

[regal salmon]

yes

[royal marten]

Interesting

[regal salmon]

instead pcalls return whether or not it succeeded, and the returned result

if it errored, the return value will be the error message

[cloud vigil]

so would u have to make it a variable for it to be useful

[regal salmon]

if not, then itll just be whatever the code returned

[cloud vigil]

i understyand it just a little bit more now lol

[regal salmon]

i'm not sure what you mean by that

[cloud vigil]

  -- assumes leaderstats exists and adds the amount passed to the player's money
  player.leaderstats.Money.Value += amount
end```
for player and amount wont u have to do like amount = game.workspace.etc

[regal salmon]

yeah exactly

it allows you to reuse the code for different variables

[tribal mango]

SO unsafe

[regal salmon]

it was example code i was explaining parameters 💔

[tribal mango]

use monads for the player's data

👍

[cloud vigil]

haven't even got up to data storage in my coding careerf

[fringe chasm]

@cloud vigil fire a event when adding money

And add it in profile service

[regal salmon]

profilestore

[fringe chasm]

Store*

Yea

[regal salmon]

you dont need to fire an event lol

have a module that allows you to get player profiles

[cloud vigil]

are yall familiar with brawl dev begginer guide last video

[regal salmon]

thats what i do

no

[cloud vigil]

abnyways

local dooors = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("dooors")
local debounce = false

button.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if debounce == false and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        debounce = true

    
        button.Transparency = .5
        button.Material = Enum.Material.Plastic
        button.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()

    
        for i, v in dooors:GetChildren() do
            if v:IsA("BasePart") then
                v.Transparency = .8 -- Use 'v' here, not 'dooors'
                v.CanCollide = false
            end
        end 

        task.wait(10)

        
        for i, v in dooors:GetChildren() do
            if v:IsA("BasePart") then
                v.Transparency = 0 -- Use 'v' here
                v.CanCollide = true
            end
        end 

    
        button.Transparency = 0
        button.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
        button.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")

        debounce = false
    end
end)```

this is what I made to open doors and close

[snow veldt]

https://klipy.com/gifs/blow-the-dust-meme

[solemn mason]

are you planning on cloning that script nested in all doors?

[tribal mango]

profilestore 🥀
datastore ❤️

[regal salmon]

[cloud vigil]

uh i was just gonna dupe the button

idek if thats what u just said lol

[solemn mason]

ye some like that

not very efficient

[cloud vigil]

i'm watching the better way to do it

by using pairfs

and :getfirstchild

[solemn mason]

alright

well that's good

[cloud vigil]

still learning

[solemn mason]

ye gl

[cloud vigil]

how much do u know

[solemn mason]

a little bit

[cloud vigil]

did u watch brawldev

[solemn mason]

nah

i didn't

[cloud vigil]

how did u learn

[solemn mason]

I just read documentation and looked at the devforum

[cloud vigil]

u read everything

how

[solemn mason]

but everyone has his personal preference

[cold stone]

yo chat anyone mind checking out my game, and giving me feedback, i still have to optimize and im still improving the map but if anyones willing to work for a percentage dm me, also if ur a reverse engineer lmk if theres any backdoors or whatever thank you.

Join our group for coins aswell as send me ur id for a chat tag and rewards

[royal marten]

In Roblox, can you associate to a player an invisible tag?

Ex: The use of it would make sure that the proper quest order is displayed

[tribal mango]

What you mean

[sullen fox]

i mean if i take what your literally saying just use attributes or tags or tables all 3 of those are invisible by default

[royal marten]

A way to organize quests if you want to make them in a lore order

Give invisible tag to player who completed the quest so you can do something like

If player.Tag1 = true then
Print ("Quest #1 accepted")
Else print ("Quest #1 has NOT been accepted")

[tribal mango]

are players able to accept them out of order

or is it sequential

[sullen fox]

Use arrays

Falls under table category
use ipairs(lorearray)

[tribal mango]

do that if they are sequential and not able to be accepted out of order^

[sullen fox]

even if they are it’s still a viable option (just find the index in the lorearray)

[royal marten]

Or to simplify, to do B quest you must have done A quest before

[void tusk]

dont use ipairs/pairs

[tribal mango]

Yeah in that case just do what the other guy said and whenever they’re prompted to start the next quest just check if the n-1th quest is done already

[void tusk]

its not necessary and technically slower

[celest cipher]

ts a good thumbnail for a horror retro game

?

[runic nimbus]

Not scaryy

[hollow frost]

dont forget the annoying man face for the killer and scared face for the guy being killed

[regal salmon]

lighting is weird since you probably used the default lighting settings lol

[ruby silo]

try using red not white

[rotund pawn]

Any recomended way to implement Climbing on walls? I want to keep it locally. RayCast? Attribute? CollectionService?

[hazy imp]

trusses 💀

😭

[icy heron]

custom character controller bro trust

[red garnet]

https://gyazo.com/6f1e8c89b40cbbaf5d82f65101ebc5a6

[rotund pawn]

Why?

[icy heron]

Just trust

[rotund pawn]

I do not see reason to create Custom Controller for that.
I just need some optimal way to handle all climbable walls

[fathom pebble]

How do u want climbing walls to function?

One way is to set up a whitelist and then recreate truss mechanics on anything within the whitelist of parts and then import your own anim.

Other way is to listen to somebody who has experience scripting idk

[red garnet]

ion kno if they talkn bout truss climbing lmao

[foggy perch]

it's not a code but hridyansh23911's server using fake bloxlink don't apply the job or don't do the bloxlink

in scripter-hiring

[distant hamlet]

@lone cave

[foggy perch]

yea

[distant hamlet]

u slimy fuck

[icy heron]

I'm gonna break his legs for tryna beam you

THE @foggy perch

HOW DARE HIM

[foggy perch]

it's jst a warning

my account got hacked

so

[distant hamlet]

he got called out once

[foggy perch]

I'm not criticizing him but if it's not on purpose then it must be fixed

Keep safe and healthy

[rotund pawn]

I want player to be able to climb an verical (90 degree) part without attribute Like ClimbBlacklist true.

So somehow detect correct "wall" and allow player to climb up and down by "welding" them to the wall

[willow maple]

Bro what is this error

[foggy perch]

rizzfarm

[willow maple]

https://tenor.com/view/clown-gif-25799821

[rotund pawn]

ChatGPT generated code?

[willow maple]

Neh

[rotund pawn]

Then fix datastore queue

[regal salmon]

means the number input at that part of the script is not a valid number

[willow maple]

Yehhh tyy

[cold stone]

Everyone come join up my game

https://www.roblox.com/games/130983047740034/Mow-Go

[void garnet]

Can you tell me please how do you even make custom hair colour now after roblox update where original hair texture is covering your colour that was set by code?

[regal salmon]

remove the texture

[void garnet]

Oh well thats smart

[jaunty hollow]

You cant post ur games here srry

[halcyon cypress]

🤮

[mystic void]

hi,

is there any tool/linter to catch potential memory leaks during development?
I am using selene, but it dosen't seems to do anything besides catching wrong syntax
I am talking about a tool for example that check for non-closed connections of Runservice

[halcyon cypress]

hmm

i dont think that is possible to make

in studio

[mystic void]

ye
combine it in vscode or via CI/CD

[halcyon cypress]

oh

then idk

[mystic void]

ok

[tardy pasture]

bro that ui is amazing gj on it

[tardy pasture]

just put prints in evrything to check if its still running even when it shouldnt

[kind shore]

guys can anyone tell me why this toggle is not in center. or is it ?

any human plz reply

[heavy elk]

It is good

[regal salmon]

looks centered to me

[dusky relic]

left shift it to the right, if that doesn't work just double clutch it and put it to the 5th center

[kind shore]

my client has very big eyes for him it's not 😭

[dusky relic]

Just tell them to adjust it themself

[kind shore]

i see

thanks for advice

[heavy elk]

That is why I don’t do commissions

[kind shore]

yeah it also pissed me off . look at my UI work . I did all of it for like 50 bucks 💀

[heavy elk]

Nice in the video the toggles are of center

[dusky relic]

lemme just collect your info 🧐

[heavy elk]

It might be because of the effect

[dusky relic]

@heavy elk Did you do everything?

[heavy elk]

?

[dusky relic]

Like everything everything

also yeah it's not centred

[heavy elk]

Wdym everything

[kind shore]

yeah this one is different

[dusky relic]

Everything!!!

[kind shore]

now i centered it by MCP claude

[dusky relic]

excluding the template images of course

[kind shore]

who are you taking to ? me or coordinated frame

[dusky relic]

oh wait

[heavy elk]

Yeah I got lost too

[kind shore]

lol

[dusky relic]

I pinged the wrong person

@kind shore I'm talking to you

[kind shore]

yes i did everything

but UI figma files are AI genereted by the client

[heavy elk]

How do you guys use figma for ui? I haven’t done ui for long so am a bit behind

[dusky relic]

How df do you AI generate figma files

[kind shore]

you do it by stitch . google stitch it generated UI and you can export it in figma

cool website https://stitch.withgoogle.com/

[heavy elk]

So the frames and stuff are ai?

I thought the images are

[kind shore]

no frames is in engine bruh

[heavy elk]

But can it do ui elements?

Like icons and stuff

[kind shore]

no it just generate concept art and can give html file like this

[heavy elk]

So it generates just images?

[kind shore]

images and effects , animations

[heavy elk]

So the distortion is ai?

[kind shore]

what distorntion ?

[heavy elk]

The effect in the video

[kind shore]

no that's a code AI generated to show you can make somehting like this

[heavy elk]

Ok I get it seems useful I will look into it

[kind shore]

and the craziest thing is i told claude opus to convert html file into roblox ui . It did 90% of the job .

[heavy elk]

The mcp or the xml code?

[kind shore]

i connected claude dekstop to roblox engine by mcp

best thing i have done till now

[heavy elk]

Ai is getting too good

Gotta try the mcp

[kind shore]

LOl you "should". The productivity gains are massive

[heavy elk]

I use agents in my editor for code but I have always doubted the ui and building skills of ai

[kind shore]

i used this official one https://github.com/Roblox/studio-rust-mcp-server

[kind shore]

UI skill is masively better of opus 4.6 . But yeah you should have max plan for that

[heavy elk]

I don’t pay for ai 200 bucks month no way. I host all my models for free

[kind shore]

100 bucks

[heavy elk]

How quickly do you burn through the prompts with opus?

[kind shore]

pro is shit . In $100 plan i never got rate limited. I code like 10 hours daily

[heavy elk]

I see it is supposed to be 5x to 20x more the pro

[kind shore]

yeah but 5x is way way huger . I did thought 5x is small but it's way bigger

[heavy elk]

I will definitely invest in it when I start making money from Roblox

I see you do ui have you ever tired the figma to suito stuff?

[kind shore]

figma to roblox studio ?

[heavy elk]

Yeah

[kind shore]

yeah i don't use this engine much . I am a professional unity dev tho

so yeah in my exp i didn't used figma to roblox till yet. But claude can do that good

[heavy elk]

I was thinking about doing my ui in fusion but it would delay my game too much + a bit overkill for brainrot UIs

[kind shore]

fusion ?

[heavy elk]

Yeah I even tried to get Claude to generate the fusion code and I failed miserably

Is the mcp free without a plan?

[kind shore]

is fusion some game ?

[heavy elk]

The ui lib

[kind shore]

not free

[kind shore]

oh i remmeber

[heavy elk]

You use the official Roblox one or some plugin?

[kind shore]

i use this https://github.com/Roblox/studio-rust-mcp-server

[heavy elk]

Ty i will look into that and see whether u can connect my local models

[primal escarp]

I've been coding for almost a year now and I wanna know if there are some sort of tricks other devs use to optimize communication between client and server?

Like lets say I want input from the player, so if i dont want inputs from players then I just simply put a check in the client but my concern is the exploiters, they can still spam remotes and it can cause some sort of lag

[kind shore]

Why you put check in client

Also I think you could use some UDP protocol fast response but not 100% accurate

[primal escarp]

what i intended it to do is get rid of frequent remote request. (because there would be moments where i dont need them requesting to the server)

also whats UDP?

[kind shore]

sorry i mean you could use UnreliableRemoteEvent

this is very fast but unreliable

[primal escarp]

thanks, I'll look into it

[hearty lion]

Why do you want to know the player's inputs?

Inputs as in the keys they press I assume?

Oh, "input" as in just data

[hearty lion]

They can't cause any lag by spamming the event, as long as you have the check in place in the server

[primal escarp]

Really? I thought spamming remotes to the server causes latency

[primal escarp]

like mousebutton1, pressed, etc

[marsh cargo]

Can somone Help me Turn a pet system Server Code into Local Script? Because i want it to be smoother dm me

[hearty lion]

It depends on how long is the function you connect to the RemoteEvent and if it creates any instances

[versed arch]

if input then
   return
end

i doubt this'll work

[versed arch]

server code in a local script? tf u smoking my guy

[hearty lion]

but if you have a check in the server to return early, then exploiters can't lag the server

local cooldown = {}
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
  if cooldown[player] then
    return
  end
  cooldown[player] = true
  ...
  task.delay(5, function()
    cooldown[player] = false
  end)
end)

@primal escarp

[marsh cargo]

i want to turn server code into local code for my pet system because it stutters

[primal escarp]

this is what i was looking for

thanks so much

[versed arch]

what exactly do you want in the local script? visuals and inventory and the sort?

[marsh cargo]

no i have a pet movement system that the pets follow you

[versed arch]

you sure it's not stuttering because of a delay?

[marsh cargo]

no its probably because server scripts use like ping and a local script is local so it uses your fps for movement itd

[primal escarp]

yea using localscript for that is a better approach

[elfin timber]

hi
someone told me to use Use RunService.Heartbeat for loops instead of while true do
is that true?

[marsh cargo]

yea

[primal escarp]

yes

[marsh cargo]

can u help me turn the server code into local code?

[primal escarp]

cant right now cuz im busy sorry

[marsh cargo]

its ok

[peak furnace]

i can help you out

whats your current issue?

[marsh cargo]

ok im gonna dm u the pastebin link because i can't text you the whole script on discord

[marsh cargo]

i want to turn a pet movement system from server code into local code because it stutters

[peak furnace]

gotcha

dm me it

[marsh cargo]

i dm'ed u

[manic hare]

just render the models on the client and have everything else on the server

[versed sierra]

How do yall send a system notification using rblx TextChatService

[heavy elk]

You got me thinking whether calling pivot to on client replicates to other

[bleak glade]

Channel:DisplaySystemMessage(message: string, metadata: string)

[dense spade]

check docs bro

[bleak glade]

the Channel should be a TextChannel

[versed sierra]

It aint there 😭

Or im blind

[versed sierra]

thx

[dense spade]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/TextChannel#DisplaySystemMessage

[versed sierra]

😭

[dense spade]

ill watch

[simple epoch]

im gonna try to learn c#

[regal salmon]

yum

c# was my first language

[simple epoch]

fire

i know only lua and python so this is very different

[regal salmon]

oh lol yeah quite different syntax

[cold pebble]

no u arent

[sullen fox]

Ipairs is to loop through a table in numble order tho??

[gusty axle]

is anyone here familiar with rojo?

[wind portal]

local DogClass = {}
DogClass.__index = DogClass
setmetatable(DogClass, AnimalClass)

function DogClass.new(name, age)
    local dog = setmetatable({}, DogClass)
    
    dog.Name = name
    dog.Age = age

    return dog
end

function DogClass:Bark()
    print(self.Name, "is barking!")
end

return DogClass```

[tulip seal]

Can an exploiters change values inside a module script in the replicated storage?

[sullen fox]

only on their side

[tulip seal]

Yeah that's what I thougth. Oki than it's all good

[sullen fox]

I think u did it wrong

wouldnt it be dogclass = setmetatable({__index = DogClass}, AnimalClass)

[sullen fox]

( Im assuming you did animalclass.__index = animalclass ) so it would inherit both dog class and animal class methods

[versed arch]

return dog got me giggling for some reason

How would I make my script check if humanoid is actual player and not an npc

[versed arch]

make a check to see if the humanoid has the player's name, if not then do whatever you plan to do

[pulsar lichen]

ok uhm guys

does anyone know if it's really needed to make server sided tool for a bot/npc?
if no, how can I make it like make bot using tool that is client sided so my hitboxes would be more accurate
the only thing I need to know is how can npc use a tool that is client sided, or it's impossible

[regal salmon]

you shouldn't

if it's handled on the client, the client can also stop it from affecting them

[pulsar lichen]

I see

[regal salmon]

they could also potentially send fake hitbox registers to the server depending on what youre doing

[pulsar lichen]

okay

thank you I guess

[regal salmon]

if you really want to (which again i dont recommend), you can create a script and set it's Run Context property to "Client"

[pulsar lichen]

the thing is basically I have a server sided script with custom raycast and Pathfinder, I've been trying to make something like bot activates his tool which is client sided
in local script I have RemoteEvent on server registration which gets the same arguments from the client if it's not changed, so I've been wondering how would I actually make bot activating his tool
I've seen some games were saying they did that, but I have never actually found a way to do it the same lol

[regal salmon]

tool:Activate()?

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Tool#Activate

[pulsar lichen]

because from what I know if ur hitboxes are server sided, it will depend actually on ping 😭

[regal salmon]

you could make lag compensation

[pulsar lichen]

yeah uh, it didn't work unfortunately

[pulsar lichen]

oh? 😭😭😭

[regal salmon]

essentially you save a collection of snapshots of a hitbox's positions, then when a client requests to hit in a specific location, you go back to the snapshot where the hitbox would have been at the time of the client's request on their side to see if it really hit

[pulsar lichen]

well, thank you I guess, I'll figure out more abt this all, I have never thought it's gonna be a little bit difficult with my bot

[humble grotto]

wrong channel mb

[regal salmon]

both #code-discussion and #code-help are available for asking for help with code lol

[humble grotto]

ohh alright

[blissful arch]

Where to find someone to run duos with

I think I’d learn faster if I made a larger project

[wise turtle]

Run duos with me

[orchid jacinth]

Alright thx I found out what I was missing

I was lowkey overthinking it since im a beginner

[versed arch]

it's fine

but always ask yourself some basic things, even if it may sound obvious

i always do it whenever an error pops up, and recently, i managed to solve a really strange error that way

[wise turtle]

Pleaseee

[haughty sapphire]

duos but we have to make a game without communicating with each other

[void tusk]

no pairs/ipairs does the same

[frigid wagon]

then why would Ipairs exist if pairs do the same

it doesn't make sense

[void tusk]

i mean for loops without wrapping the table in pairs/ipairs does the same

[heavy elk]

Ipairs keep the order I think

[heavy shadow]

guys what shuld i learn next

[heavy elk]

And there is something with nil handing if I remember well

[void tusk]

it stops at nil

[heavy elk]

Yeah

[void tusk]

for most situations this behavior is not rlly necessary

would stick to generalized table loops unless ur trying to go for compat with lua

[heavy shadow]

is it easy to code an rpg game?

[dry sleet]

mid difficulty

Also depends on how complex it is

[kind shore]

very easy , very very easy

[dry sleet]

What kinds of RPGs are you making 💀

[kind shore]

I was takling about MMORPG

[dry sleet]

Like uhhh

The only one I can think of is EVE

lol

[kind shore]

just $30 puff and you can play it inside your mind
