code-discussion

[remote phoenix]

maybe not in one go but I think they definitely could if they went step by step depending on the AI, the features, and so on

[willow maple]

Gng help 🥀

[subtle fractal]

Ooh the moment i get my pc Godwillingly

[autumn bone]

brother i just explained it lol.. you said a designer could never lay out a plan good enough for AI to code it. that's literally what people are doing right now every day. you don't need some perfect blueprint, you just tell it what you want and iterate. the fact that you think you need a perfect plan to use AI tells me everything i need to know about how much you've actually used it

[drifting solar]

who asked tho

[dense spade]

what ive seen so far is networking modules usually just funnel everything thru one remote with buffers,should work if u use one only too

[hoary cedar]

#dev-discussion

[floral crown]

even that im not entirely sure because if you dedicate yourself to design you’ll probably be amazing at that but not so good at bug fixing

[subtle fractal]

Who Ever asks tho?

[shadow sphinx]

tbh imma js watch a tutorial on tables and looping through them and i'll be back

[drifting solar]

ts dont even make any sense

[hoary cedar]

None of those tutorials really explain how the generic for loop works

[autumn bone]

roblox documenation 💯

[hoary cedar]

It's very spread about

[shadow sphinx]

so what do i do?

[floral crown]

this is implies you think the ai slop games currently being pushed out are good but i suppose thats up to you

[hoary cedar]

I have a breakdown on the DevForum, but it will take a moment to find

[floral crown]

like congratulations it made the simplest game possible

[dense spade]

quite trash,they only explain well for feature that is common,the docs for EditableMesh is drier than a desert

[shadow sphinx]

@ me when you find it

[autumn bone]

1. the user of the tool does not reflect the tool's potential lol. bad devs making slop with AI doesn't mean AI is slop.

2. in the last 2 years alone AI has improved so exponentially that whatever you think it's capable of right now is probably already outdated LMFAO. you're judging the ceiling based on the floor

[vernal gyro]

be a miracle if my homo erectus brain figures that out 🙏 but i've heard the same about networking modules

[dense spade]

just do fireserver(abilityname)

[remote phoenix]

just start using it and mess around with it 😍

[dense spade]

and on the server side do moduleabilityname

[shadow sphinx]

alr bet

[remote phoenix]

don't let the homo erectus stop you from improving 😍

[vernal gyro]

yeah i got that im mostly just bracing myself for making everything else versatile and scalable
there's more than a little abilityservice to it unfortunately 🥀 why do i take on projects i can't handle

[remote phoenix]

man I love that emoji it's so goofy

[dense spade]

taking on projects that you cant handle so you can learn from the mistakes and be a better person

[hoary cedar]

Hm. Couldn't seem to find it. Generic for loops are much more than ipairs, pairs, and next. Each of these functions work to interact with the generic for loop in its raw form, which we as Luau developers can do ourselves. This leads to the topic of custom iterators, but that may be too advanced for you at this time. You can learn the ipairs and pairs iterator factories, but with generalized iteration, their use in generic for loops is no longer necessary

[shadow sphinx]

alr

[vernal gyro]

shakespeare might be alive and well

[shadow sphinx]

tbh ill js lock in on scripting and ill figure it out

[dense spade]

why does he sound like a textbook

[floral crown]

not really getting your point, nobody is denying that if you scrape the entire internet and use acres worth of datacentres to put it all together that it won’t be good at programming, i said at the very beginning we are in the business of video game creation which an ai from start to finish no matter how perfect your plan could not put together a game

[remote phoenix]

pro tip if all of that went out of your head (it went out of mine too) you'll learn this stuff on the intuitive level by just messing around with it over time

[hoary cedar]

Because I'm learned

Roblox scripting tutorials teach you nothing

[vernal gyro]

it seems a lil redundant sometimes tho when it's a whole lot of failing and little winning

[dense spade]

i wanna be a textbook like you

[hoary cedar]

Start learning software development beyond Roblox

Your eyes will be opened much faster

[floral crown]

putting together games requires an engineer no matter which way you want to square it lmao

[slow drift]

you know it is shit when there are multiple co owners

[dense spade]

time to install unity

[autumn bone]

you literally just moved the goalposts lmao.

nobody said AI is making an entire game start to finish by itself.. that was never my point.

my point was that AI is getting insanely good at the PROGRAMMING side of game dev.

you as a game programmer are not the creative visionary, you're the technical executor.

and that's the part AI is replacing.

you keep arguing against a point nobody made

[dense spade]

i need a game idea to work with🤔

[remote phoenix]

yeah all 30 trillion of them

[hoary cedar]

I have yet to see AI critically manage memory and threads in Roblox

[copper cape]

any1 familliar with ECS HMU

[vernal gyro]

u don't gotta ask in every channel son

[dense spade]

can someone tell me difference of software engineering degree and computer science degree

Google isnt helping much

[floral crown]

? i said that good thing WE (yes everyone here) is in the video game creation business not doing tourneys the point never changed

[autumn bone]

stop replying to me plz

[floral crown]

ai cannot replace games programmer because if the ai cant fix a bug the game is cooked simple as that

[remote phoenix]

I think CS can be more than just software

I'm not completely sure though

[vernal gyro]

ai is gonna evolve

[ripe plume]

ehh we'll see

[vernal gyro]

a lot

[ripe plume]

roblox games are simple af an ai can definitely do it

sadly for me

[floral crown]

they always say this but the llms that we currently have aren’t capable of “just evolving” theyve already slowed down

[dense spade]

we just need more datacenters!
Lets plow down acres of forest and waste alot of water for that

[autumn bone]

so both openai and deepmind hit gold-level performance at ICPC 2025

that's the biggest competitive programming competition in the world, and the problems are solved in C++ involving heavy algorithmic optimization, memory constraints, time limits etc.

GPT-5 also placed 6th at IOI 2025 in simulation. they literally test the kind of low-level thinking you're talking about.

so while it might not have been demonstrated specifically in roblox yet, the capability is absolutely there and it's only getting better

[upper holly]

im searching for a scripter for a quick job to merge 2 systems ( fist and movement) i can't pay but i can give you a copy of these systems,

[hoary cedar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eqRuVp65eY

[dense spade]

saw this on an instagram reel 🥀

[floral crown]

this is literally like 1% of the issue i bet too

its a good tool dont get it twisted

[remote phoenix]

humans evolve too, we'll figure out a way to improve beyond this surely

[vernal gyro]

idk what im talking about btw but it just seems inevitable

[dense spade]

why would the scripter want the copy,the scripter can make themselves

[floral crown]

but replace the job entirely? lmao you need to do research on llms capabilities

[ripe plume]

the great filter man

[autumn bone]

i've seen this, and in the latest edge techomlogy there's ways around it

[hoary cedar]

Even if AI grows, it will be heavily regulated due to its potential to vastly disturb the workforce

[upper holly]

uh it has animations vfx sfx and everything including scripts. but the thing is i bought these 2 and found out they dont work together so im in need of urgent help 😭

[ripe plume]

heavily regulated by who? the us?

[vernal gyro]

it's already disturbing it

[hoary cedar]

Regulatory bodies are still forming

[dense spade]

oh well good luck finding a scripter that wants that

[upper holly]

it could help the scripter in their future endeavours

[floral crown]

and making us stupider on average lmao

[hoary cedar]

We're developing the technology faster than we can manage it

[floral crown]

good luck to ai kids this is the first technology ever developed that actually affected test scores across the board

good tech imo

[autumn bone]

the scaling wall from the video hasn't been "broken" exactly, but the industry found ways around it. the biggest one is test-time compute which is like instead of making models bigger, they make them think longer when answering

there are several ways that we have been already able to bypass and find other ways to go about it, the chinese are very head in this area aswell.

[vernal gyro]

that's one of the scarier parts, that it enables people to use less critical thinking and problem solve on their own, instead they can just rely on a robot to do it for them

[autumn bone]

this is true

[haughty sapphire]

software engineering is development of software cs is the study of computers, algorithms etc, fundamentally they are different

[floral crown]

just let the robot think for you bro just let the robot enjoy your wife for you bro

[hoary cedar]

A simple outlook is that one engineers the algorithms and technology, while the other employs it

[heavy shadow]

does IT learn coding?

[dense spade]

wouldnt u need to know algorithms and stuff to even develop the software?

[vernal gyro]

wonder when ai wives will be mainstream

[hoary cedar]

Yes, but not at the scale of a software engineer

[autumn bone]

it learns networking more then coding

[dense spade]

ai girlfriends are a thing now

[remote phoenix]

no you just need a claude code subscription

💀 💀 💀

[floral crown]

cant wait for em lmaooo then maybe next we will have ai toilets too

[autumn bone]

this guy spits nothing but facts back to back

[vernal gyro]

yeah i've heard about that but i mean full on animatronics

[dense spade]

yea that works too

[dense spade]

i saw some CES videos this year,they have ai girlfriend robots coming up

[hoary cedar]

Yes

[dense spade]

realistic skin too 🥀

[vernal gyro]

maybe corona wasnt so bad 🥀

can we turn back time

[autumn bone]

i disagree

[vernal gyro]

thank you

[floral crown]

we can only march forward

[dense spade]

then whats the point of univerisities giving out separate degrees for software engineering and comp sci

[hoary cedar]

Nvidia facilitating an IRL Olaf from Frozen is where the priorties are at

[dense spade]

oh shit i saw that yesterday

[hoary cedar]

They're different practices

[floral crown]

software engineering is knowing how to put software together and comp sci is the study of computers

[hoary cedar]

That's like saying theoretical physics is the same as engineering

[vernal gyro]

dude i saw that recently

[dense spade]

which would be more worth it? the place where i would prob learn more stuff

[vernal gyro]

looked crazy

[remote phoenix]

controlled by some indians for $1 an hour

[vernal gyro]

[hoary cedar]

Computer Science would earn you more job opportunities and a deeper background

[autumn bone]

you don't need to understand how a sorting algorithm works under the hood to build software that sorts things.

the AI knows the algorithms, the data structures, the optimization.. you just need to know WHAT you want to build and be able to guide it there.

software engineering is becoming more about orchestration and less about raw technical knowledge

[dense spade]

oh nice,i just wanna learn alot of stuff cuz i like learning new stuff every day

[floral crown]

its more fun too, you learn how to do all types of shit with computers

[azure coral]

il go for that then i was confused too about which path i should take

[remote phoenix]

the AI can be silly and not realize on it's own that it can use simpler or better solutions than it currently is, since it's goal is generally just to follow your direct orders and get something working

[hollow summit]

it wont really be possible to regulate properly anytime soon xd

[autumn bone]

well that's where you come into play, the prompting matters 100%

[azure coral]

it sucks at contexts

[floral crown]

and because you aren’t an engineer you can’t even tell when its not optimised perfectly

[autumn bone]

a garbage prompt will yield garbage results

[azure coral]

no matter the prompt you can't fully recreate the stuff you want

[autumn bone]

providing proper context, proper prompting, and instructions solve a lot of that

there are limits you hit when the AI hits a wall, and that's just the wall but this wall has been getting farther and farther down by the day

[hoary cedar]

Knowing what algorithms, design patterns, paradigms, and architectures to apply is still a key skill in software development. As computer scientist, understanding these algorithms is critical in developing new ones, or optimizing current ones. Understanding the algorithms in any context is useful. We cannot crutch on AI for everything

AI though, can assist in that area quite well

[autumn bone]

bro what are u waffling about, there's upto 1M context limits these days

[azure coral]

in terms of literary word context

[autumn bone]

i agree that understanding them is useful, never said it wasn't.

but the original question was do you NEED to know algorithms to develop software.. and the answer to that is increasingly no.

knowing them makes you better at guiding AI and understanding what it's doing, sure. but the barrier to entry for building software is dropping fast. you don't need to know how an engine works to drive a car, but knowing it makes you a better driver. same idea

[dense spade]

can i make a pc into a remote explosive? send an email,person clicks on it then the computer explodes🤔

[hoary cedar]

Good god. That was way too fast

[autumn bone]

i wish i never replied to you

[hoary cedar]

Are you using AI to respond to me, lol?

[autumn bone]

you want monkeytype picture

[floral crown]

for legal reasons i do not know what explosives are

[dense spade]

me too,im just saying it cuz i heard it somewhere

[azure coral]

pretty sure you can do that theoretically though im not knowledgeable on hardware stuffs

through the lithium-ion/lithium polymer batteries

[autumn bone]

nice i can't even send pictures here gg

[hollow summit]

not rly no

[dense spade]

discharge the battery too fast and it goes boom?

[azure coral]

that could work actually

[dense spade]

im sure there are safeguards for that

[hoary cedar]

You can extrapolate this ideology into absurdism. Why know anything? Why know that mixing bleach and chlorine is bad when the chemists can hold that burden for you, or AI?

[azure coral]

eh you can bypass it easily im sure

though its more hackery wizardry stuff

[floral crown]

they’ll never understand this fundamental idk why its strange to me

[dense spade]

dont encourage me

[heavy shadow]

cs or IT

[azure coral]

cs

both counterstrike and computer science yes

[dense spade]

what does IT even do

[hoary cedar]

I don't disagree with your point, @autumn bone, but it shouldn't be a reason for software developers not to learn these things

[dense spade]

counterstrike too hard of a game for me,bullet tracer non existent😭

[autumn bone]

nah this is a crazy comparison to make LMAOOO

that's a massive false equivalence lol. mixing bleach and chlorine can kill you on the spot.. how could u eve nthink that's a comparison..

not knowing what a binary search tree is won't.

there's a difference between knowledge that keeps you alive and knowledge that's useful but increasingly automatable.

nobody's saying "why know anything"..
i'm saying the specific technical knowledge needed to BUILD software is being abstracted away, the same way it's been abstracted away for decades.

the SKILL FLOOR is going down

you don't write assembly anymore either, does that mean we "crutch" on compilers? like what are u even saying

[hoary cedar]

That applies to all fields AI affects

[autumn bone]

THE FLOOR IS MUCH LOWER is the point

[azure coral]

i got crushed, roasted, deepfried the moment i joined a live game

[heavy shadow]

they maintain what the cs build i think

[dense spade]

eww im not maintaining someone elses problems

i make problems so others can fix

i guess CS is for me

[heavy shadow]

not likethat

[autumn bone]

imagine we still wrote in assembly because "why crutch on high level languages"

💀

[azure coral]

thats....il not reply again sorry

[rich moat]

Imagine we still wrote machine code

[azure coral]

im tryna learn machine code but the intel manuals are wayyyy too big

amd ones are nonexistant

[autumn bone]

yeah i never said don't learn them, knowing them definitely makes you better. my point was just that it's no longer a hard requirement to build software like it used to be

[rich moat]

1960s books are the manuals

[azure coral]

no shot

[thick oar]

hi

[hoary cedar]

Higher level positions still value and filter for that skill

But yes

[autumn bone]

yes higher level positions, but that's not the topic

this is not a discussion of CEILING this is a discussion of FLOOR

[thick oar]

how did u guys learn scripting

how long did it take?

[autumn bone]

roblox documenation and curiosity

[hoary cedar]

How so? That would quite literally be the floor for those positions

[hoary cedar]

Depends on the person

[azure coral]

messed around roblox studio, got interested in how stuff works and how i can manipulate them then saw like some tutorials to get the basic knowledge of scripting done (i DID NOT know any languages at all so it was a bit difficult)

[autumn bone]

i mean the floor to build software in general, not the floor to get hired at a senior position at a big company.

the barrier to entry for actually creating functional software is way lower now than it's ever been.

that's the point, you don't NEED to know algorithms to build things anymore.

if you want a high level job at google yeah obviously you need that knowledge, but that's a different conversation

[ripe plume]

• or get lessons from me for just 20 bucks an hour ahahah

100% accurate

majority of the scripters being hired are using ai anyways

[rose root]

yo guys, this guy sent me a zip file of his game to 'test me' before hiring, asking to rebuild stuff with decompiled code, is this normal? my first commision

[hoary cedar]

Dime a dozen. Haven't seen a WPM over 110 in ages

That's my idle speed

[azure coral]

mechanical keyboard?

[wary light]

dude where do I get a scripter partner 😭 ?

[azure coral]

or those membrane ones

[hoary cedar]

Mechanical

[wary light]

people keep telling me to post on hiring but majority of people who actually reads there are brokies

[thick oar]

rn im js trying to learn through the IOS app - coding lesson luau
but it doesnt seem that reliable so idk what to do now
I understand most stuff like variables, functions, parents, hierarchy, but i got stuck on remoteEvents, fireServer etc

[ripe plume]

if we can do it the other way yes

[azure coral]

dang i max out at 112 😭 on laptop keyboard

[wary light]

wym

[autumn bone]

it depends on what you're actually typing

if i'm typing replying on discord brother im hitting 190wpm

[hoary cedar]

I just switched from a full-size butterfly to a 75% mechanical

[wary light]

50M visits ya u not bad

[ripe plume]

actually its more like 100 now 🤓

[hoary cedar]

Gotta see this 💀

[autumn bone]

i got u

[hoary cedar]

Currently on a 15" MacBook Air

[autumn bone]

look ur dms

[azure coral]

dang MacBook Air

[autumn bone]

wait cant send

where do i send

[azure coral]

my laptop is like $200 prob $190

[hoary cedar]

I have them closed

[autumn bone]

this was a bad test

[hoary cedar]

Stream it, @autumn bone

Is that 15 seconds?

[autumn bone]

yea im cooked

im under preassure foldingLMFAOO

yea 15 format

[hoary cedar]

Try 30

[autumn bone]

150

160

bad run aswell under preassure

[hoary cedar]

God, that must hurt to keep up

What sort of training do you have? 🤣

[haughty sapphire]

not necessarily, most algorithms are already implemented by someone else and u can just drop it in, CS is more about understanding where these algorithms come from and the theory behind them

[autumn bone]

i used to be faster

but i got older and joints cooked

[autumn bone]

league of legends, typing in between fights

[hoary cedar]

I never learned to type with more than my index, thumb, and pinkie

[autumn bone]

while playing the game

[dense spade]

so comp sci is inventing algo and software engineering is using it to make cool stuff

[autumn bone]

yea i type with 3 fingers too LMFAOO

[hoary cedar]

I need to use more of my hands, lol

[autumn bone]

i also been using a computer since i was like 7

[hoary cedar]

9 for me

[hushed bridge]

have a really great game idea, and I’ve already prepared the full map. I just need a coder who knows scripting and understands Hindi.
Payment: If the game becomes successful, they will get 40% (success probability: 80%).
Anyone DM

[autumn bone]

are u 02?

[hoary cedar]

'04

[autumn bone]

same

in practical typing though if i'm writing code or writing thing that i actually need to pay attention to, then i drop down to like 110-130

but on discord, i full throttle that btch LOL

[hoary cedar]

This is a predominantly North American/European server. Good luck 🙏

[hoary cedar]

I'm much faster when I'm coding than when I'm "speaking"

[autumn bone]

do you code in the same language prominently?

[tidal bolt]

programming for me is usually just frantically hitting tab after my IDE guesses what I wanted to say

[hoary cedar]

Yep

[autumn bone]

makes sense then

becomes muscle memory

[hoary cedar]

I rarely work outside of Luau. My WPM drops to 100-110 otherwise

[tidal bolt]

I have muscle memory in like 3 languages atp

luau, python, and JS/TS, still developing my java muscle memory

[hoary cedar]

Same languge set

I refuse to return to Java

[tidal bolt]

I have to for uni lmao

I hate it too

[hoary cedar]

It's always a class requirement, lol

I've never used it outside of classes

[autumn bone]

try writing rust or c++ at 100+ wpm

[tidal bolt]

one of my java pet hates is null being weird

[hoary cedar]

Cancer

[autumn bone]

my small ass 60% keyboard

[hoary cedar]

std::stoi still makes me mad

[autumn bone]

and i have to click >>

[tidal bolt]

wdym every single variable is secretly the union of the type and null

except java doesn't even have union types

[hoary cedar]

As much as I love the readability. W h a t

[autumn bone]

i have PTSD from segfaults

[tidal bolt]

everything is a class instance

or a static class

[autumn bone]

bro typed a whole paragraph just to declare 3 variables 💀

[tidal bolt]

please let me export a singular utils function without making it a static class

[hoary cedar]

The whole assignment was a meme

I finished it way ahead of the class too ;-;

[dense summit]

Guys I need coders-

[hoary cedar]

At least records exist now. No more entry point boilerplate

[autumn bone]

this is why i didn't goto school

[tidal bolt]

the assigment for this second module, like holy, I did the whole thing in like 3 hours

[hoary cedar]

The one I did was about polymorphism. It extended over 5 classes. Bunch of algorithms and libraries involved—if you knew how to find them

It was supposed to be 3 weeks long, lol

I was done day 2, simply because I could only program while in the lab

[autumn bone]

like Lulu W?

[tidal bolt]

there have been exactly zero challenging assignments this year

hopefully second year is better

tho apparently it involves php

[autumn bone]

Assignment 1:
build a multithreaded web server from scratch in C with no libraries

[tidal bolt]

not even the C standard lib? might as well write that in pure ASM

[wise turtle]

Write it in the superior language Luau

[autumn bone]

ok fine standard lib allowed but no external ones LOL. no curl, no boost, no hand holding

[tidal bolt]

it'd be an... interesting project

I'm not looking forward to having to learn php

[hollow summit]

php in big 2026 is crazy

[autumn bone]

they're teaching php in 2026?? my condolences

[wise turtle]

had to maintain my highschool’s website and they used php and some weird shit where u can’t use git and have to edit code through a modal with no intellisense

[tidal bolt]

php was written by a guy in a shed who knew less about programming languages design than me

[buoyant dock]

Do you guys think it's still worth it to learn to dev in roblox today?

[autumn bone]

put rspect on my boy Rasmus Lerdorf

[azure pilot]

for roblox game?

[wise turtle]

Yes

[dense summit]

Yes a Repo like one

[autumn bone]

POV:

• you finish school
• you get hired at a company
• your CEO who has zero technical knowledge sees competitors shipping updates fast using AI
• he walks in and tells you to get a 6 week project done in 2 weeks because "AI makes everything faster now"
• he doesn't understand the codebase, the technical debt, none of it
• he just saw some AI demo on twitter
• you're now stuck delivering the impossible or explaining why you can't

this is a real scenario a friend of mine who's a senior engineer at a big enterprise company has dealt with btw

[wise turtle]

Cooked

[autumn bone]

he gets paid for 8h a day, but he's working like 16h a day to try to get it done by the due date

[dense summit]

@azure pilot

Why’d you ask?

[sterile pollen]

whats this nd how to fix

[potent maple]

Is there a way to create global leaderboard with profile store? I'm using profile store to store player data, but I need to make global leaderboard using this data

[wise turtle]

stop playing so many animations at the same time

[sterile pollen]

hm how?

i do stop them

[autumn bone]

use OrderedDataStores alongside ProfileStore

[buoyant dock]

Why do you say yes?

[hoary cedar]

You're generating tracks over and over when they should have been cached

[wise turtle]

why not?

[potent maple]

Do you have any examples?

[sterile pollen]

wdym cached

[hoary cedar]

Stored for reuse

[wise turtle]

debug which animation is causing it

[hoary cedar]

Make sure you're not loading animations in an area of your program that is repeatedly executed. The animation should last the lifetime of the humaoid

[buoyant dock]

My biggest worry is that I will waste time because the way I see it, this platform is gonna die in the near future. The stock has dropped by like 50% in the last 6 months and now there's age verification and they want to remove classic clothing and faces

[willow maple]

If u r indian dm me

[wise turtle]

it wont die

[buoyant dock]

but if I take 5 months to learn to script at commission level do you think it will be better or worse than today to earn money? @wise turtle

[sterile pollen]

hmm
so i load animations one time and play them several times?

[hoary cedar]

Yes

You do not need to load an animation every time you need to play one

[sterile pollen]

oh alr

ty

[hollow summit]

roblox aint dying bro xd

[weak radish]

If less people play roblox less people will develop on it so you can take a larger share of total revenue

[floral crown]

its still worth it because roblox games have more value than people realise

its just you won’t be able to make friendslop games to make a million in a year anymore

[cinder siren]

still the easiest way to make money

[weak radish]

no, make brainrotslop instead

[cinder siren]

you gonna try going to steam?

[floral crown]

the type of game rell seas is on steam would be 9.99+ easily and yet you will be able to play all of that for free

that is basically why roblox isn’t dying

[buoyant dock]

but that only applies to already established developers

[floral crown]

then become established 🫂

[buoyant dock]

what about me? A nobody. What chance do I have to make money by the end of 2026?

because this is a oligopoly

[floral crown]

if your goal is by the end of 2026 to be making a salary you can do it you just need to be ready to lay your life down for it

if it were that easy everyone would be doing it

[buoyant dock]

the devs in the same club make it almost impossible to establish yourself now

"millions of games"

[floral crown]

not a single dev from any of those teams is stopping you from doing anything

you can make a game if you want to, or don’t and don’t get paid but understand your goal is very hard to get regardless

[buoyant dock]

what if I just spend 8 months working and I got like 500k from commissions and I spend it on ads for my games and the algorithm doesn't gaf about them?

[remote phoenix]

you don't need to be #1 dev to get a good income from roblox

[cinder siren]

500k on ads

how would roblox not gaf about that

if its still dead its the gameplays fault

[floral crown]

8 months working on what tho? what would 500k on ads even do for you if your game isn’t that good

[buoyant dock]

I don't even know how ads work but I know people spend a lot of robux for ads

[floral crown]

exactly

[buoyant dock]

what if everything flops

[floral crown]

okay but what if it doesn’t

[wise turtle]

In any startup world established people will have an advantage. Roblox is as easy it can be to break into though in that even kids can be millionaires

[cinder siren]

kids will never quit yo

roblox is youtube equivalent of gaming

[remote phoenix]

look at what works and make something similar, or make something that you find fun

[floral crown]

you don’t like winning more than you are scared of losing come on now

[cinder siren]

roblox is the first game u see and recommended if ur a kid

[wise turtle]

Idk if you think like that before even starting you may be cooked

[buoyant dock]

I want to do commissions to get robux then after a few months when I get real world experience I had in mind to make my "dream game"

[cinder siren]

lmaoo

if u dont believe in your self how will u even start

[floral crown]

“dream game” bro

[remote phoenix]

I spent 6 years making random stuff on minecraft occasionally until I finally made a proper server with someone and profited from it

[cinder siren]

dont u have any pride

any passion

[remote phoenix]

and the experience I've gained was very worth it too. now here I am ready to do the same with roblox

[wise turtle]

I been working on the same game for years 🥺 and making tooling on the side

[buoyant dock]

I can invest hope into roblox if I want. I just don't know if it's worth investing my time and energy for this platform to earn something

[cinder siren]

if ur still a teenager and u have learned alot of knowledge about scripting

[floral crown]

if you want to do comms get good its literally that simple you’re just afraid of failure (no rich person on this site is afraid of failure)

[cinder siren]

thats good already

your already above most people

[buoyant dock]

I have been playing roblox for 7 years now and I started devving randomly but I know enough to be called atleast "intermediate". Like I know how to write in OOP and I have completed a tycoon game on my own so I am not completely beginner. So do you think I have the chance to earn something for myself with roblox in 2026? I am still in high school btw.

[wise turtle]

yes

[cinder siren]

if ur still in highschool what the fuck are you stressing about

you have 3+ years

[buoyant dock]

I really don't want to come outside of university with a huge debt

[remote phoenix]

it doesn't take any advanced game to get a good start it just takes effort and polishing

[buoyant dock]

I want to lock in and start a serious side hustle

[cinder siren]

its not steam

[shadow marlin]

you should make a hxh game or frieren ppl have been waiting a long time for a decent one

[remote phoenix]

I've seen a basic tycoon-like game get good robux

[cinder siren]

theres no large company that takes all of the players

roblox players would try anything

remember

[remote phoenix]

^ true as hell

[cinder siren]

its kids your focusing on

not sweaty teenagers or world of warcraft dads

[remote phoenix]

you have to seriously just be dog shit to make a game that flops

💀

[floral crown]

lowk

[cinder siren]

if it flops its definitely a cash grab

[shadow marlin]

can yall make me a game

brainrot based

ty

[buoyant dock]

Should I go make a game now or build a portfolio, do commissions and then make my game?

[cinder siren]

depends w

are u rich are u poor?

no offense

[floral crown]

the perfect game you’re thinking of in your head will require money i suggest you get a job and save for a year or something

[buoyant dock]

I have got no robux

[floral crown]

cuz comming your way to a game? tears bro

[cinder siren]

then try to find the right people to be with

build a portfolio

get some rich baby daddy

get ur game and get rep

[weak radish]

Dont start devving in roblox for money, theres probably more reliable methods

[buoyant dock]

like what

[weak radish]

A job

[cinder siren]

depends

[buoyant dock]

but I am gonna be a minor for a while still

[cinder siren]

if ur not fucking up in school

go for it

if u have lost complete hope for school

go dev or stream idk

[tribal python]

orrr

put it all on red

[cinder siren]

meet god

[tribal python]

YESSS

[weak radish]

You can get a job as a minor in a bunch of places

[tribal python]

GOLD GOLD GOLDDD

[cinder siren]

kfc or mcdonalds

[atomic trench]

alternate option

roll for pattern 661

[cinder siren]

procrastinate

[buoyant dock]

Yes I am 99% sure that the job I can get from my school will all be AI powered. I have lost all hope for school

[atomic trench]

true

[cinder siren]

holy if thats ur mindset

just go to bed

[atomic trench]

optimize everything, release nothing

[floral crown]

post it on youtube get 6k views, never post again

[buoyant dock]

not without being exploited as fuck and be given pocket change

[buoyant dock]

wdym

[floral crown]

you don’t want to hustle fr just say that

[cinder siren]

ahh ai is replacing me

theres no hope for me

[weak radish]

lmao thats not true

[cinder siren]

yo put a stick up your assh

[buoyant dock]

It's just that since the 2026 patch dropped, I have been confused on my whole life. I don't know what to do anymore and I've lost my direction

[cinder siren]

mods

[floral crown]

dk how old you are, but if you are under 18 just go get a low paying job or be prepared to grind everyday from now till 18 on here

everyone wants to get paid on here im sure

[wise turtle]

just make roblox games!

get hired by @gray monolith

[floral crown]

you won’t get paid unless you make something

[cinder siren]

https://tenor.com/view/flight-reacts-shocked-gif-9885796698302419555

[buoyant dock]

I can't even get a job at my age that pays me money. I can only do apprentship that will give me 0 money. During summer break which is where I have 3 months off school which is when I have the most potential to change

[floral crown]

your other option is clear then

[cinder siren]

what are your parents doing

[floral crown]

made it way easier for you, you don’t have the first option so take the second

[cinder siren]

you donthave to be doing this yknow

[buoyant dock]

Ok so I think I'll come back to roblox

[floral crown]

you think? lmao alright

[buoyant dock]

wdym

[floral crown]

how is it still “you think” we are talking about grinding for a year

[buoyant dock]

actually I have around 2 years and a half left to establish myself in this platform if I want to come back today

[cinder siren]

in summary

[floral crown]

wouldn’t make a difference you will squander the time if you can’t start now

[cinder siren]

its definitelypossible

[floral crown]

i told myself the exact same thing as a kid lmaooo

[orchid jacinth]

I made a script that takes 5 health every 1 second when you step on it and im tryna make the script stop when player is not standing on the part and its not working. I've tried using TouchedEnded but when I do it kinda breaks the script removes the 1 second cd and becomes spammable

[sterile pollen]

script.enabled = false

[buoyant dock]

I usually take a lot of time deciding what to do. But once I have a direction in mind, I am way faster than normal people. So thanks for helping me choose what to do.

[floral crown]

you’re welcome just keep trying

[signal valve]

does anyone know what roblox function i can use to check if a mouse.Hit connected to a specific part?

[void tusk]

just check every frame if the mouse.Hit == part

[signal valve]

doesn't mouse.Hit return a cframe though

if i want it to detect that it hit a HumanoidRootPart or something it would be comparing a cframe to an object right

[void tusk]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Mouse#Target

mb

[signal valve]

i just found this before thank you

[void tusk]

in my opinion doing the raycasting yourself is the better option

gives you more control and its also homogenous to the rest of your raycasting

tbh you prolyl dont need it

[eternal apex]

Could I get some feedback on this

[signal valve]

im still learning scripting this is like my 3rd or 4th day actually coding so im trying to take it slower
im gonna start working on raycasting soon though so i can go back and adjust old code

[void tusk]

i would def learn a bit about both raycasting and overlapparams

they share alot of similarities and will prolly be your most helpful tool for things like hitboxes and hit detection

[signal valve]

alr ill definitely start working with more raycasting projects thank you

ill take a read of this inabit

[jovial moat]

Sweet. I chose to make it my first blog post since I feel like I have the conversation here every day, so it'll be nice to just send a link to my thoughts instead :D

[strange umbra]

Guys anyone with experience wanna make a game I am a scripter / Ui artist learning thumbnails I’ve made a game before but got no active Ccu I just need help in terms of getting active Ccu

[floral crown]

maybe its the way i started devving but ive always found frameworks somewhat lacking in usefulness

[jovial moat]

Yeah they aren't useful at all in modern Roblox

I mentioned this in the blog post, explaining where they came from:

Originally, frameworks were originally designed to solve architecture problems on Roblox. Prior to FilteringEnabled, there was not proper server/client separation, and remotes were considered “new” around the invention of “Team Crazy Game Framework” (also developed by sleitnick, prior to Knit). Frameworks were made to help separate the client and server, providing tools for networking, organization, and more.

[floral crown]

okay thank God its a safe space i genuinely think knit etc allat are sooo useless unless you’re working super big

youre totally right about modulescripts

[jovial moat]

Knit is useless even if you're working big. The creator of Knit has a blog post explaining why it's bad https://medium.com/@sleitnick/knit-its-history-and-how-to-build-it-better-3100da97b36

[heady spire]

how do people/games handle abilities in terms of vfx and animation? im kinda new to scripting and want to make some sort of combat system/framework and my current approach works by client input -> server check and hitbox -> all client vfx and but not sure how to deal with animations, especially with states and cancelling anims from being hit for example

[floral crown]

good read here too there’s nothing roblox doesn’t provide already

[jovial moat]

Thanks

hi gays

[potent igloo]

do you know how to use github and vscode

[half cobalt]

why does some people code in vscode?

for roblox obviously

[still token]

hey can someone give some feedback on a init module?

[potent igloo]

to use external tools

[still token]

from what i know, just to keep games on your files and not roblox studio

[potent igloo]

like ai, github, rojo, wally

[still token]

really? i never knew

[half cobalt]

How helpful are they

[still token]

i get rojo and wally

[potent igloo]

ai is crazy good, it speeds up work by like 2x

[half cobalt]

Alright ty

[potent igloo]

github is for managing versions

i thought i could get some of you guys to work

but its harder

than i thought

[still token]

like in vscode?

[half cobalt]

no just for games

[potent igloo]

finding scripters is the hardest thing

[half cobalt]

i have solid progress but i guess people don't want to work for percentage

[stone garden]

i m right here cuh

[still token]

i mean i code but im not like really advanced

also do ui but ye

[half cobalt]

Are you intereasted in working for another project tho?

[potent igloo]

do you know how to use vscode and github

[still token]

i mean im planning to leave 1 since i have school and that

so yeah i guess

[half cobalt]

Leave all of it

if you dm me i can you show some modeling progress i made on the game

[stone garden]

with rojo, i do

[stone garden]

yea i know, i use rojo to link vscode programs to roblox

[half cobalt]

atp why not just do your job in vscode then?

are you just more comfortable in studio?

[potent igloo]

dm

[stone garden]

yes i like the visual instances on the explorer, its so mush better

[stone garden]

alr

[half cobalt]

how did you even learn coding

[stone garden]

i joined a studio, i found a 7 years experience scripter and he teach me stuff, and then i left the studio to focus on script

[half cobalt]

your not intereasted in working for a project?]

[stone garden]

before scripting, i was a clothing disigner, i own 15+ clothing groups and i made millions, i make games alone now, its more fun

i do everything, from UI, animation, programating to sound and vfx, building

[half cobalt]

Are you not intereasted in working with a project with another dev tho?

i have a project if your interested i can show you some progress

[stone garden]

i m the type of guy who doest work for %

[half cobalt]

reasonable

[stone garden]

i never worked on a progect, i never needed robux or money, matter of fact, i dont even have a portfolio, i only have my games lol

[stone garden]

look at this, what he is telling me in dm, he want to give me % to finish his ahh game

[half cobalt]

ferar lmk if your interested tho

[stone garden]

aint taking %

but we can call and i can show you my games

[half cobalt]

i only offer %

so am probably not worth your time

am kinda expectional tho

cuz i actually get the work done

[stone garden]

almost none takes %

they even make gifs out of it

oh mb wrong chat

[broken rover]

Any scripter looking for a small task and be payed with robux?

[wraith shadow]

chat is this good code?

[ancient root]

Is there a way to convert a unique string into a unique ID?

hopefully in a small size format to save bytes

[hearty lion]

No need

[hearty lion]

Each string is just like a pointer to a region of memory

If two strings are the exact same, then they point to the same memory

which makes comparing two strings really fast and saves memory

[ancient root]

I'm trying to use it for json

Need to save as much size as I can

[hearty lion]

do you really need to use this "unique string"?

like why not an incremental id?

[ancient root]

Scalability

It's basing it on the files in explorer

[half cobalt]

make a christian game with me

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1412436727452405770/1442283860615233556/togif.gif

no am joking mate

[hearty lion]

well but if you're gonna access the files by name

then what's the point of the numeric id?

i don't get it

[ancient root]

Json

The files define what goes into the json

Not the other way around

[wraith shadow]

Chat is this good

[terse trail]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-ugh-gif-15774357492597497773

[regal salmon]

i would make it a dictionary instead

[wraith shadow]

yo man i dont speak imagery

[wraith shadow]

can u explain pls

[regal salmon]

also you don't need to use a pcall, just check if Module["Initialize"] exists and if so, call it so that you still add it to the table afterward

[wraith shadow]

I also need to add debugging?

incase anything fails?

[regal salmon]

instead of using an array, use key values instead
e.g. ServerModules[Module.Name] = Module (also dont name the loop and require variables the same thing in this case)

[regal salmon]

add a warning if it doesnt have one

but just check for its existence in the if statement

[wraith shadow]

i alreayd tried that but it gives the error index is nil

[wraith shadow]

i already do

did you even look at it closely?

[regal salmon]

i did, youre just not understanding what i'm saying

one moment

[wraith shadow]

and yes good idea to add the initialize function check

[regal salmon]

if Module and Module:IsA("ModuleScript") then
  local requiredModule = require(Module) -- make sure it's not named Module, because you already have a variable with that name
  -- Required modules don't have a Name property, which is why yours was nil
  if requiredModule["Initialize"] then -- Check if the Initialize function exists, and call it if it does, warn if it doesn't
    requiredModule:Initialize()
  else
    warn("Module " .. Module.Name .. " has no Initialize function.")
  end
  ServerModules[Module.Name] = requiredModule
end

[wraith shadow]

Dang i didnt remember to change ittt

ty so much

[regal salmon]

np

[wraith shadow]

What about debugging then?

like if anything critical fails?

[regal salmon]

it's unlikely, it looks like you're already making all the necessary checks

you check if it exists and if it's a module, then also check if the initialize function exists before running it

the only thing that can fail is if the Module fails to load

so you should wrap the entire thing in a pcall to avoid that

[wraith shadow]

Thats the thing

[regal salmon]

but if that happens you should fix it anyway lol

[wraith shadow]

yeah just in case

[regal salmon]

make sure you print/warn the failure reason

[wraith shadow]

Yes if a server issue occurs the error is printed out in the kick message

so the players that see it can send it through a screenshot

[regal salmon]

[wraith shadow]

is the structuring good tho?

[regal salmon]

yeah looks fine to me

though in your modules it's better practice to use . functions instead of : as : is mostly for OOP to give access to self

not really necessary but

[wraith shadow]

ill keep the : since they give me dopamine

[void tusk]

i def disagree with using frameworks, but there has been a format with ssa that ive been using alternative to msa

allows for load order and also just functions as seperate scripts

i distinguish between library modules and system modules, where library modules are just containers for functions, while system modules are things that act like scripts

systems can require other systems to keep load order

i dont rlly know where this falls

[dense spade]

i use : cuz its cooler looking

[void tusk]

you do you

[void tusk]

feel like ssa and msa dont rlly have concrete definitions

some people consider a script and

for _, module in moduleFolder do
    require(module)
end

to be msa even if its run with one script

but again i do agree that frameworks are very limiting

"I want to also add that SSA is more vulnerable to memory overhead issues"
what do you mean by memory overhead issues ?

[jovial moat]

Some SSA structures store modules in tables or try to inject stuff. That sort of stuff can lead to memory issues.

You're not doing that though

[void tusk]

oh ic

[jovial moat]

I wrote this as the bigger reason as to why I do MSA:

I opt to do multiple scripts on both the client and server. This allows me to contain functionality in certain places, which makes it easier for other developers on the team to navigate through. One small benefit of this too is that it allows error tracebacks to be shorter, which is always nice.

[void tusk]

yeah having everything self contained can be pretty nice

[rigid quail]

OH HELP

[deft ibex]

Day 4 of learning how to code, used ai for the base but just modified it since im not really feeling it today.

[dense spade]

it shuffles each time the Chatted event is run

[deft ibex]

too hard so I cant demonstrate if its correct or not

but in a real game yea

[hard garden]

whats ssa and msa

[weary socket]

Single Script Architecture vs Multi Script Architecture

[naive sun]

have you actually benchmarked this

realistically you're only adding one frame to the stack size, which shouldnt really affect overhead much unless you're creating a bunch of tables in that topmost stack frame

and storing modules in tables shouldnt matter in terms of compiler optimization

[fading bronze]

Got bored and converted my system to more digit string based to remove number limits and I messed around and got $nan money

[opal yarrow]

Yo is am making a game in which one can destroy things with pickaxe and its almost finished but the real issue is that the effects like pebbles vfx, hit Sound, object shrinking is delaying i checked in the roblox studio everything was working fine but after I released the game every effect is delayed. Can anyone help? Structure-input handler(local script)-when the hit marker reached in the animation it will do two things 1. Onhit function which is inside the local module 2.fire a server event then the server script handles the rest.

[green plover]

The server side might be delayed

Not sure though

[green plover]

Awesome

[green plover]

you can save the code as a variable and then print the variable so you can see the code that was selected and afterwards chat the code for it

[opal yarrow]

Ooo yea that was the case earlier when the structure was client-server-client for effects but now I changed the structure to client-module for effects -server

Idk man its irritating me

[green plover]

I can understand, it took me a long while to understand how to figure it out
but as of right now i have most visuals on the client

for my game

[fading bronze]

Server is basically 0 ping on studio
That's prob why if u send the effects on server

[green plover]

At some point i was thinking about becoming a dev with a diff engine since dealing with client-server issues were annoying

luckily i figured out a solid solution

[blissful arch]

effects like that are so marginal in terms of performance is it even worth replicating to the client?

[fading bronze]

Roblox Studio is one of the best game creators imo

[opal yarrow]

Yea since they provide most of the things free

[opal yarrow]

Yea, that might be the case let me check GPT how to fix live game issue

[fading bronze]

Yea with not many constraints unless you wanna build a huge game

[fading bronze]

Have effects be client based

[wise turtle]

in some cases using knit actually makes onboarding easier because a lot of people are already familiar with it

[opal yarrow]

Hmm and if you can make huge game then u can also use some fund

[opal yarrow]

Yea they are client based i mean i made a module which client can access for the effects

[fading bronze]

Then are they still delayed ?

[green plover]

i agree, its just at the time when i couldnt figure it out i didnt want to deal with server sided delays

[opal yarrow]

Yess

[haughty sapphire]

dont do it on the server

[opal yarrow]

I mean i am sending the event for the server to know that the player has used the pickaxe

Yo now its working from nowhere...

[sullen fox]

why is plr:GetNetworkPing() called what it is if it returns the RTT i feel like the name is pretty deceptive

[sullen fox]

you shouldnt be handling effects on server

use a client prediction system

[west dirge]

guys for the application i can send ONLY one single script with min 200 lines or can i send one one script w min 200 lines and modules on the side to make the demo game works ?
or like do i just one script w min 200 lines and then the demo game can have anything
im kinda confused icl

[autumn crescent]

can someone teach me how to make it screen blur when your moving please?

[regal salmon]

i dont think motion blur is possible in roblox at the moment

[lost pebble]

you could use a BlurEffect and increase its size relative to the speed of the camera movement

[regal salmon]

its pretty finnicky to do it like that

[lost pebble]

at least it's something though

[autumn crescent]

its ok someone helped me on vc ty for the answer

[lost pebble]

oh alright. you're welcome

[versed arch]

minimum 200 lines, ONE script, no extras

it's pretty arbitrary and i hope they change it, but those are the criteria rn

and it cannot have dependencies

and comments don't count, same with whitespaces

Hello! i want to start to learn scripting but i dont want to go into the "tutorial hell" so are there any other ways to learn it?

[neat ether]

@dark yoke sorry for pinging again but i just opened up my game today and there's a crazy bug where ctrl shift F6 shows theres constant mispredictions towards the world origin, is this happening to you too or did roblox fuck something up

[dark yoke]

nothing on my end, actually I dont seem to be having any mispredictions on a first look
did they update it?

[neat ether]

I tested with an older version of my game and the issue is there as well so it's not something I did

[remote bear]

is the optimization in the room with us?

[fresh oak]

Never seen cpu that high

[remote bear]

doing this on a potato laptop

i am using canvas draw 3.4.1 for now, so the display is taking up more then half of the update time

[fresh oak]

[remote bear]

i want to optimise some more before switching to a faster display

[candid maple]

watafak

[wooden willow]

what should my scripting port contain is it showcases of system i rn got a
prodecudurally generated land script
Ui implemented script
Wind Environment script

[sick shale]

I'm lacking creativity for my on Hidden Scripter application. I thought about making an ocean-themed system, but I think it's too generic. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm worried about spending too much time on a single system for the application.

[limber whale]

wat

[primal token]

I have my game area g and i test play i do character customization and i did it it wont load into the game

[weak radish]

Just add comments to a system youve already made if you dont want to risk wasting time

Help do what

[shell nest]

[bleak glade]

yea thats what it looks like im going to try

[thin plinth]

Yo, does anyone know a way to work around the Roblox paid animations? Like, uploading an animation costs 1k Robux—are there any alternatives or ways around it?

[elfin timber]

does someone know good vids on state managers?

[jovial moat]

If you're going with people who already use Knit, the talet pool is shrunk.

So either way it's bad

[jovial moat]

No because there are so many different ways to set it up, I'm not going to pick and choose a specific way and benchmark it because then it's inherently biased.

[cold lion]

what is the script for

group prompt and fav prompt

[hot copper]

Replica/dataService

u use both and u good

[glass cosmos]

dm if looking for a scripter

[iron kraken]

the right answer is to not use knit

[lone furnace]

How can I get rid of this annoying error?

--!strict

type rr_return = () -> (Instance?, Vector3?)

local function foo(): rr_return
  --...
  local inst: Instance? = nil
  local pos: Vector3 = nil

  if boolean then
    inst = r.Instance
    pos = r.Position
  end

  return inst, pos --> Error
end```

[ember turret]

where is boolean

[lone furnace]

in --...

i left out the rest of the code cuz that doesnt really affect the error

[marsh osprey]

type rr_return = () -> (Instance, Vector3)

local function foo(): rr_return
    local inst: Instance? = nil
    local pos: Vector3? = nil

    if not boolean then
        error("smthing") 
    end

    inst = r.Instance
    pos = r.Position

    return inst :: Instance, pos :: Vector3
end

[normal solar]

can u add dark mode

[round rapids]

force type casting as in @marsh osprey code

[jovial moat]

Possibly maybe

Do you guys add productid attribute to ui button with scripts or manually once?

when buttons aren't created dynamically

[royal marten]

Why this not working

No error code

All prints successfully

[broken grove]

why is playerstatus a table

[hasty cobalt]

THis script is giving me a stroke

Im crying

[broken grove]

ok no the script is just

[hasty cobalt]

BginnerRealmID and he isnt even using it

has a table for a variable and hes acting as if its a string in a function

[royal marten]

To check track quests easier

[hasty cobalt]

table.add isnt evn a real thing

[royal marten]

Roblox removed the error when I put a string + you can add strings in table

[hasty cobalt]

Is this ragebait

[hasty cobalt]

Not the way ur doing it

[royal marten]

Correct my script then

[hasty cobalt]

No

This isnt code help

[royal marten]

Oh sorry

That’s my fault haha

[terse carbon]

they are for the new type solver.

One use case would be ensuring (at the type level) that a string is a name of a specific instance's property.

[terse carbon]

it provide type functions for getting an Instance's properties, methods, events, children and descendants.

[upper jay]

OH JUST CHECKED THE DOCUMENTATION

neat stuff my dude

[weary gazelle]

Yo can someone help me. I dev exed my robux for the first time ever. I filled out first name, last name, email, and the rbx amount. Clicked cash out. And just waited till i get an email. Then a week or so later, i got more robux into my account, assuming i got rejected and my robux came back to me. Problem is: i got no email, so I just dev exed again.

NOW My buddy told me im in debt ? Can anyone please tell me whats going on ?

[terse carbon]

thanks

[potent maple]

Do you guys add the productId attribute to UI buttons via scripts, or do you set it manually once when the buttons aren’t created dynamically?

[upper jay]

dang this is sick, i assume "type" as its own type is a new addition solely from the new type solver?

yeah it seems so from my own testing

[bleak glade]

its a new library from the new solver

its a parsing lbirary it has no runtime stuff

[upper jay]

gotchu, very interesting

i assume :properties() legit just gives you a type's, well, properties

like .Name or .Color etc

[terse carbon]

properties gives you { [type]: { read: type?, write: type? } }

with the new type solver there are now seperate read and write properties.

[bleak glade]

it would be Name: string if you did an instance

type function thing(input: type)
    local tag = input.tag
    if tag ~= "extern" then
        return
    end
    local output = types.newtable()
    for key, value in input:properties() do
        output:setreadproperty(key, value.read)
    end

    return output
end

type x = thing<typeof(Instance.new("Actor"))>
``` this works

[jade ice]

Whos a good front end scripter that has a lot of time on their hands and wants to train someone because i wanna learn how to script PLEASE p.s im black

Please help

yo anybody w any experience in making games wanna join my crew for free? i'll pay u if the game gets big
its a open world mmo rpg based on wukong r6 kinda like rell seas btw

[willow maple]

Bro this is js diarrhea

[potent igloo]

try replacebodypart thing

its for r15 only though i think

[shrewd linden]

Only R15

[tame ibex]

yep this is bloat

[bleak glade]

zero runtime bloat as its for the parser and not ran

[tame ibex]

bloat is both not runtime and runtime 🤣

bloat = visual bloat + unperf bloat

🤦‍♂️

[bleak glade]

how is it visual bloat if its tucked away in its own module

genius

[tame ibex]

cuz its another dependency

🤦‍♂️

[bleak glade]

why are you using the luau tag if youre so against the language

[tame ibex]

how am i against the lang 🤣

[bleak glade]

youre saying the type system is bloat

[tame ibex]

well i hate to break it to u

[bleak glade]

what? its better performance in native, alongside changing bytecode when annotating in some cases

[tame ibex]

not for the client + type everything on the server i agree

[bleak glade]

client has NCG

sorry to break it to you

[tame ibex]

🤣 sorry to break it to u.

in prod ncg is only for android devices

[bleak glade]

yeah so it still has it

[tame ibex]

for one device barely used

🤔

[bleak glade]

so it still has it

[subtle fractal]

@bleak glade how do i get devforum member role

[bleak glade]

make a ticket

[subtle fractal]

yeah but wat do i have to show

[kind seal]

how do i have devforum member role

[bleak glade]

im not sure

i dont have the role myself

[subtle fractal]

or do i js ask for it @bleak glade

[kind seal]

i never made a ticket

🤔

[terse carbon]

lets go, the | "" hack for coercing types to singletons works again 🎉

without the | "" on the type annotation for the hello parameter, it's type would be inferred as string instead of "lol"

[kind seal]

ok

would that also work for booleans if you did S | false

idrk why u would need to do it for booleans

[kind seal]

thats silly why doesnt it use singletons automatically

whats the benefit to singletons in that situation

[rich tartan]

is it possible to insert custom emojis into your experience, which you can use in text fields displayed in your game? like a custom icon for example, that goes into a text field, not an image field

[terse carbon]

there's lots of situation where using singletons by default would cause annoying type errors due to the strictness of singletons.

[terse carbon]

booleans work as well, but you still need to use | ""

[coral coral]

yo im getting into scripting can someone tell me the difference between Scripts, LocalScripts and ModuleScripts

[remote phoenix]

oh sick roblox has generics?

[faint sapphire]

does anyone know how they make the white transition effect for the domain? It seems like hes using particle emiters, but I dont seem to get how it works because I do not do much scripting with particle emiters

https://youtu.be/r80CHiziNl8?si=oFoLK-PapQ91LpIq

[remote phoenix]

script runs on server
localscript runs on client (per player)
modulescript doesn't run anything on its own, its like a config file

[coral coral]

oh alright thanks

lets say i was to give a random attribute to different players

i would use local script?

[remote phoenix]

you could use either. localscripts can be more prone to exploiters

[coral coral]

oh thanks

[coral coral]

can u give an instance to where i would use local script
