[near sonnet]

but try ur best

[proper violet]

render stepped runs every frame

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
  print("tuna") -- will print every frame
end

[near sonnet]

ah so if i change cframe every frame its like flawless

[bleak umbra]

do u have like any code to show?

[vapid radish]

yes but it should mainly be used for visual stuff

not physics

[near sonnet]

question, if i wanna for example make a part follow a player i also do this right?

[vapid radish]

what do you mean by a part follow a player

[civic garnet]

yes

just slap a lerp on it to make it animated

[gleaming lantern]

Why who are u

[trim solstice]

making a anime styled roblox college wrestling game lmk ur thoughts

[dense token]

i have a vehicle chassis whose camera rotates randomly sometimes, could anyone help me understand why its doing this rather than acting like every other vehicle seat camera?

[vale spire]

is a scripting event a competition?

[shut stump]

whats the best way to get player in local script?

[hoary cedar]

Players.LocalPlayer

[hoary cedar]

Yes

[vale spire]

How do you join?

[silver surge]

im struggling at learning scripting, where do you guys continue learn scripting after learning the basics?

[glossy quiver]

What do you consider the basics

[silver surge]

like variabels, function, tables, statement

[glossy quiver]

No loops?

[silver surge]

loops too

i watched thedevking

for basic

do i have to continue watching the advanced one?

[glossy quiver]

Are you just watching them or are you creating as well

[silver surge]

well each video i watch, i test how it works too, like function i try making something with it

[hushed wind]

how to make datastore

[silver surge]

yeah i dont whats that

so like how do i learn the complex stuff

[glossy quiver]

Do the advanced tutorials ig but the only way to learn complex stuff is js making games or systems and reading up on docs and even getting some assistance from ai don’t be brainwashed by ai though like asking for whole scripts if you don’t know how to do something you can ask it for small info

[silver surge]

docs? whats that

[glossy quiver]

Like if you wanna learn how to make combat games look at how other people make combat systems

Roblox documentation

[silver surge]

where you find that

[hushed wind]

i asked ai for small help and it broke my entire game

[silver surge]

is it createrobloxcom/docs

[glossy quiver]

Js type Roblox docs on the Internet you’ll find it

It has all the documentation for every method use ai to figure out small details and use the community forums and have a look at how good systems are written

[glossy quiver]

Use data store service??

[silver surge]

ohhh

i see

thank you very much for the information

[glossy quiver]

It’s gonna take you a while just enjoy the journey

Find things that motivate you to make things and you can make things you love

[silver surge]

okay im going to continue learning

[glossy quiver]

Cause making games can be really demotivating so preserving is the most important skill

[hushed wind]

can you tutor me

[glossy quiver]

I can’t atm I’m really busy with studies and stuff

[cold forum]

can anyone help me in blox fruits

pls gift me fruit anyone

[regal salmon]

this is a developer channel

for roblox developers to talk about developing

[fading ermine]

pls fruit? as i could make a variable called fruit and ask what the contents of it are maybe thats what he is asking uk

[regal salmon]

they very explicitly asked for people to gift them fruits in blox fruits

[ancient tartan]

anyone know any decent free ai website builders

i am trying to compare for a video 😭

[haughty sapphire]

dont

[hard garden]

Hi guys

is it good if i update all of my managers into just one runservice connection or make them have their own runservice connections?

[floral atlas]

well let me ask u this, would u rather have all ur packages in one bus or one package in one bus x50

which is more efficent

[haughty sapphire]

what do u think bro, having individual runservice events will cook the scheduler

[hard garden]

ofcourse all package in one bus, but that makes the bus heavier and slower no?

[haughty sapphire]

💀

[hard garden]

that's why i'm asking

[floral atlas]

a bus is made to move alot of packages at once, it dosent get slower.

obviously if u put 10ton metal plate it would

but thats obvious

[hard garden]

but what if one package is REALLY heavy. Should i put it in a separate bus?

[haughty sapphire]

we alrdy gave u the answer but ur still yapping abt some stupid shit like "bus gets heavier and slower" 😭

[floral atlas]

lmao nah they just overthinking it

[hard garden]

stupid shit yeah no

so its wrong to be curious?

damn that's cool

aight

fuck off

[floral atlas]

well if thats the case you obviously need two buses but the thing is if its really that heavy you should just break it up and send it 1 by 1. but regradless of the fact its better to do most as you can in one loop then having mulitple, thats very bad for performance

[hard garden]

aight makes sense

yeah no fuck off

you do not understand my question

[haughty sapphire]

i do

[hard garden]

that sucks but thats not my problem

[haughty sapphire]

ur just slow lmao

he had to dumb it down for u and make a bus analogy and u still didnt understand

[hard garden]

cool

"useful" as fuck

[haughty sapphire]

cope 🤡

[hard garden]

uh huh

[foggy pendant]

You can't be serious..

[foggy pendant]

Guys I think 8536 lines might be too much.

[peak jolt]

canon ai nerf by roblox

[foggy pendant]

How can I write my complicatedly long code that have no reason for it to be like that then?!

[peak jolt]

No if all you do is connect presimulation in all your scripts then its always more efficient to do a simple table lookup, call functions in order, nothing else matters

The overhead of an event connection is necessarily always more than a stored callback in your own module

[hard garden]

perhaps try breaking them down in separate modules

[peak jolt]

They do not run in parallel whatsoever, the order is well defined, there is no "synchronization overhead," it just needs to create a new call stack which is more expensive than storing and calling a function

The performance gains are not dramatic either, its around 50% time saved per task, which only matters if you have a growing/variable number of tasks, such as "update entity health via a loop." The difference between 1 and 10 runservice connections is next to zero

[willow maple]

Yeh now tell ur ai to divide the scripts into parts

[foggy pendant]

It's too funny to stop I'm going to find a way.

[snow veldt]

I agreee

I don't know what's up with all these blox fruit things

[regal salmon]

😭

[snow veldt]

is this a new scam tactic or something

I don't get it

[regal salmon]

i dont think its a scam theyre just genuinely asking for free stuff

[foggy pendant]

I think they are just trolling.

[hard garden]

its obvious

[snow veldt]

thats crazy

holy consumer

stuck in the matrix

[foggy pendant]

Do we really need this reminder all the time?

[snow veldt]

yes

[regal salmon]

you'd be surprised how many people ignore it

[winter spire]

so for instance, a player clicks a button, and it goes from claim to "Claimed", how do i make data store save that information, so that when he logs on again its saved

[cinder flower]

Is Roblox Studio still a good text editor or should i use tools like Rojo to link it up with VS Code? (I don't know why I need VS code)

[hard garden]

better intellisense

[hard garden]

optional

[cinder flower]

thank you

[weak whale]

Hey

A gun system needs to have animations to be good right?

[wary sluice]

can exploiters spoof touchinterest?

[regal salmon]

people will pay more for good animations but you could probably still sell it with subpar ones

[weak whale]

O

I’m not an animator tho is it easy?

[regal salmon]

no, but if they could then they could also just skip the touchinterest part and give themself the tool

[regal salmon]

if you know your way around the animation editor youll probably do fine

[weak whale]

I don’t but there’s tutorials 💔

[wary sluice]

altho the most decent gun systems have CFrame animations hardcoded in

you dont necessarily need to be an animator to make a good gun system

if thats what ur asking

[wary sluice]

true

[winter spire]

.

[weak whale]

Yes

Since I wanna get more into it

[wary sluice]

so you wanna script a gun system

a really good one

[weak whale]

I thought there’s a other way since someone said so

[weak whale]

Ye

[wary sluice]

FPS or third person?

[weak whale]

Realistic

FPS

[wary sluice]

There are two ways you can go about that

You can use a FPS viewmodel rig

and animate that

OR you can use normal roblox animation rig and animate on that while scripting it to show the arms etc using a Fake Torso

both methods have its advantages and disadvantages

[wary sluice]

With this method, its really easy to repliacte the animations

Just playing the animation automatically replicates to other clients and they can see you

with the above method you will need additional code to handle the replication , and in some cases you might need separate animations just for the third person view

[weak whale]

But what if first person then this ye?

[wary sluice]

this shoots two birds with one stone

[wary sluice]

This works for first person as well ^

[weak whale]

O

[wary sluice]

Its easier to replicate to other clients

[wary sluice]

But id say you should start with this first

Is it your first time making a gun system?

[weak whale]

Yes tbh

[wary sluice]

alright no worries

go to the toolbox and search "fps viewmodel"

[willow maple]

Making animations for cheap 😉 js doing it for hobby

[weak whale]

Mhm

[wary sluice]

also whats your scripting experience

[weak whale]

cute mouth

[fathom hawk]

hello im new in coding how do i learn it

[remote phoenix]

learn some basics like what a variable is, what types are (int, boolean, string)

and then jump into it

[fathom hawk]

i already know them

i can script basic things like doors

[remote phoenix]

then next I think the meta is to just ask AI like "here's what my end goal is, what's the first step to achieving it"

and then if you get stuck you can ask it for some pointers

[fathom hawk]

okay

thank you

[remote phoenix]

it can also explain different things and you can ask it what the best practice is

it's information will be slightly outdated but I don't think that'll cause any big issues

claude is the best coding AI as far as I know so I would ask claude specifically

[dense spade]

i ask gemini most of the time,idk why but it gives good enough results to me

[plush forge]

it has very low message limits tho

[versed arch]

gemini is pretty good for explaining stuff tbh

[shell galleon]

Tryna get hired as a scripter

[vale spire]

you wanna get hired?

[shell galleon]

Yes

[vale spire]

are you good at data store and profile store?

[shell galleon]

Yes am good with data stores but still learning.about profile.data stores

Dms

[finite roost]

guys please
https://www.roblox.com/games/90642632414698/Roll-for-a-Brainrot
check my gameo out
and tell me if u have any feedback

[fathom hawk]

it says experience is unavailable

[finite roost]

reload it please

[fathom hawk]

okay wait a min

[dense spade]

yea i make it as a teacher to tell me why i should do the script in a certain way

[winter spire]

can someone really help me in data store?

i really really need help, i got a deadline to meet, and like, i cant understand how i can make it work with yk buttons, how to save a clicked button in data store

can someone please help me?

[hearty lion]

should have learned to script before taking a commission bozo

[winter spire]

not a comission

like im making a game

and i need to finish the deadline before yk my team crashes out

[hearty lion]

should have learned to script before making a game bozo

[winter spire]

hm...

[versed arch]

go watch brawldev's tutorial on datastores and read the documentation for pcalls and :GetAsync and :SetAsync functions

[winter spire]

hmm alr alr

[sweet flume]

I'd just use profilestore as normal datastores are a pain to implement properly

[winter spire]

what is profilestore?

[sweet flume]

Its a datastore wrapper

[cyan bobcat]

Godot or roblox studio?

[remote phoenix]

huh?

[cyan bobcat]

Which better

[cyan bobcat]

Which one better

[remote phoenix]

for a beginner? roblox studio

[cyan bobcat]

Ok

[regal salmon]

depends, what's your goal?

[ebon frost]

lowkey unreal engine

[regal salmon]

roblox studio is unmatched for easy multiplayer implementation and is easier to use as a beginner, however it has a lot of limitations and restrictions due to roblox's guidelines
godot does not have these restrictions, nor does it have any licensing fees (so you dont give money to the engine creator for making a game with the engine), however it's more manual as they don't automatically give you every system outright (e.g. multiplayer, player movement, etc), you have to make them yourself

[regal salmon]

unreal engine is not good for low end pcs lol

blueprint brings its ease of use up but you gotta have a pretty decent pc to run it

[versed arch]

unity

[regal salmon]

and its also not for everyone, its very tailored to high quality games

[regal salmon]

my personal preference

best of both worlds imo

[ebon frost]

true but if u got a good one then utilize it to make a nice game and not some slop

[regal salmon]

good with mid-range pcs, can make 2d+3d games, big community so lots of assets, and a lot of freedom for things you want to make
there is the licensing fees but they're too bad imo

[regal salmon]

there's also the factor of it takes up a lot more space in all aspects; the engine, projects, and final builds

its build times are also a lot higher

its biggest selling point is its graphical capabilities

[ebon frost]

people burn out to quickly and if they can't finish something on roblox studio then those other platforms are not made for them

[regal salmon]

it's possible to achieve the same thing in unity and godot, though they both take varying amounts of effort

godot being the most effort as youd probably have to rewrite parts of the engine im ngl lol

[regal salmon]

i don't think that's true, you can choose any engine you'd like
just because roblox studio provides you with more to start with, that doesnt make it much less burnoutable than other engines

you're still making a whole game

it's a problem a lot of people face, but that doesn't mean that "game development isn't for you" because i don't think it's impossible to overcome

[ebon frost]

what i'm saying is that studio is easier to navigate especially for beginners

[regal salmon]

yes that is true

that isn't what you said, but that is true

[azure coral]

roblox studio is not really a full on game engine, just a sandbox more akin to gmod with a lil more freedom

tbf roblox did start as a physics engine so maybe the term game engine does apply some bit

[regal salmon]

ehh i'd still call it a game engine

a game engine is just a program/framework that provides the necessary tools, libraries, and systems necessary to create a game

which is what roblox does

however, in terms of how it performs as a game engine, other engines do better

[night schooner]

how to learn scriping?

[remote phoenix]

jump straight into making something, ask AI all your questions (ask it questions like you would with google search or a tutor on discord)

[versed arch]

❓

[night schooner]

im modeler n builder

[versed arch]

then put it as such, don't put dev because people will assume that you can also do scripting

as for how to learn scripting, just go watch brawldev's tutorials and read the documentation

[night schooner]

watched all videos and doesnt learn me anything just basics how to usel local and other variables

and dont know how to use them in systems frameworks n other thing

[versed arch]

well you're supposed to learn the fundamentals before getting into complicated things

it's boring at first but it's necessary if you want to understand anything inside of a script

systems and frameworks are already on their own pretty complex for a beginner to make

[night schooner]

so i should just watch videos about ppl that making any game or system ?

whats thing thats easy to learn?

[lapis yoke]

Me and My friend is searching for job in roblox Studio.We can make to you scripts For Robux or Models.For Robux

[versed arch]

scripting isn't easy, it takes time and attention. the easiest way to start off, imo, is to just focus on one aspect of scripting, learn about it, then move onto the next (for example, you focus on learning about variables, and once you think you're ready for something else, you'd go for if statements)

and also, take notes about what you're learning so that you won't have to go back to a certain tutorial or webpage

[night schooner]

ahh

is there some1 who learn for some robux or money?

[remote phoenix]

yeah nah fuck allat just ask AI your questions and you'll remember what you've learned through muscle memory

actively writing code is how you learn

[versed arch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1180127926356807731/1459813364414025849/caption.gif

[versed arch]

this is true

[weak radish]

Scripters are just a type of dev

[versed arch]

i'll tell you this; once you've learned how one thing works, it'll be easier later on

[remote phoenix]

AI is the easiest to use search engine and more. treat it just like you would treat google search, a tutor, and so on. just ask it all your questions while you write code

[versed arch]

but do not rely on the AI for writing code for you

[weak radish]

apart from the fact its less reliable for accuracy

[night schooner]

so if i turn tutorial some1 that make for example framework and will copy it to the studio it will help me

[versed arch]

if you really insist then i could be of help

[remote phoenix]

yeah that's true.. that is kind of annoying.. but for most beginner/straightforward things it shouldn't be too inaccurate

[regal salmon]

depends on the learning style that benefits you most

it's worth a try as it can help you, but it won't have the same benefit for everyone

[night schooner]

ahh

[weak radish]

I asked chatgpt if a song had references to a certain topic and it said 100% it does not have any references (It does it multiple times)

[remote phoenix]

well thank goodness I don't use chatgpt and I don't use AI for finding song references

[versed arch]

chatgpt just says shit man 💔

[weak radish]

Well I was just asking it that even though I knew the answer to simulate a situation where its really important that chatgpt gives an accurate answer

because it was a sensitive topic

[night drift]

can someone give me something to make i know the basics and some advanced stuff

[remote phoenix]

robux

[dark juniper]

Just ask a professional then

[wooden harbor]

portal game, the one on steam

[weak radish]

a professional song analyser?

[gaunt fog]

Yall what do i do when i pick up a tool and my name tag flys away ? 🙁

[regal salmon]

your name tag..?

[gaunt fog]

Yeah!

[night drift]

is the tool anchored or is collision on?

[regal salmon]

context image for anyone who can help since i cant rn:

[gaunt fog]

TYTY

[gaunt fog]

Nope

[night drift]

is stuff named correctly?

[gaunt fog]

Mhm!

[potent igloo]

your tool is probably not setup correctly

theres probably a part inside it thats not connected to the player's hand

like not welded or whatever

[gaunt fog]

Ooh ok

[graceful gyro]

For knockbacks and follow ups are apply impulse or body velocity better

[near sonnet]

wsg guys can someone explain what .Unit does?

pwease

[civic current]

returns the same vector3 but with magnitude being 1

[iron kraken]

it divides the x, y, z by the length of the vector

[near sonnet]

oh

alr

[iron kraken]

ye

[cold marten]

what is the usecase of raycast ?

[shy cipher]

it normalises the vector. I think this is done by dividing the vector by its magnitude (length of the vector). you normalise vectors when you want its magnitude to be equal to exactly 1 while still preserving the direction of the vector

[near sonnet]

guys i got a question. I have a laser that, when it hits an player deals 50 damage. The problem is that i want it to go through the first player and also hit the second player. If i now use a debouce so that u dont danke 50 damage every nanosek, the second player gets left out cuz the debounce restricts it

idk what to do

[gray mantle]

Use a "denounce table"

[remote phoenix]

add the player to a table

[gray mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/link-counsciousness-gif-13187339

[near sonnet]

u gotta explain me im kinda new

[gray mantle]

Code got it

[fading ermine]

how do you tell if code was made by ai

[gray mantle]

Lots of AI like comments, its harder to detect nowadays tbh

Claude writes some pretty good code

[fading ermine]

cant somone jus say "no comments" and then u jus cant tell?

[remote phoenix]

local hitPlayers = {}

while laser is alive do
    if laser hits player do
        if not hitPlayers.contains(hitPlayer) then
            player.damage()
            hitPlayers.add(player)
        end
    end
end

[gray mantle]

Yeah kind of

[near sonnet]

lol u the goat

[quaint tree]

bro my code has comments everywhere and i always get told im AI 🙏

[gray mantle]

Sometimes its pretty obvious but

[gray mantle]

Well ppl just dumb then

[quaint tree]

comments are considered AI most likely cuz people cant be organized

[gray mantle]

Ai writes comments like essays

[quaint tree]

depends

AI has a style

[fading ermine]

i see

[quaint tree]

on comments

[gray mantle]

Yeah I feel that af, I comment my code a lot

[remote phoenix]

if it's indistuingishable and works then it doesn't really matter now does it

[gray mantle]

Yeah

[fading ermine]

but like what about like how it sets up the games wouldnt ai do it in a specific way?

[dark rock]

this

gotta be the most active chat

(besides general)

[fading ermine]

[remote phoenix]

no it can vary from which AI, what prompts, and so on

[gray mantle]

Why does it matter vro

[fading ermine]

like when i used ai it jus gave me a bunch of local scripts

[gray mantle]

🙏💀

[fading ermine]

if i hire somone i wana know if they used ai or not

[remote phoenix]

well then learn how to script or find someone with reputation

[gray mantle]

You can only really tell if you have actual experience

[fading ermine]

1 takes time and the other expects to be paid way more

[gray mantle]

Also asking said person programming questions is also a way of knowing if they are bs or not

[gray mantle]

Thats how life is man

[remote phoenix]

okay then enjoy your maybe-AI code

you could pay $20 for a Claude Code subscription and connect the roblox MCP directly to claude

[fading ermine]

eh i dont trust ai that much yet

most i would use it for is to comment code

plus dosent ai have limits

like after a certain ammount it jus dosent talk to u

[remote phoenix]

yeah but if you're working only on one project you'll rarely run into the limits and the limits only last up to a few hours at the most

you'll usually run into maybe 1 or 2 hour limits if you're abusing the AI for just 1 project

[fading ermine]

ai is telling me to take a break 🥀

[gray mantle]

Yeah idk what you talking abt claude code is peak

[fading ermine]

u made anything with it?

[gray mantle]

Helped me with a bunch of stuff

[near sonnet]

local hitPlayers = {}
        laser.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
            
            local target = hit.Parent
            local TargetPlayer = target:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
            if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and target ~= character and not hitPlayers[target] then 
                hitPlayers[target] = true
                TargetPlayer.Health = TargetPlayer.Health-80
            end
        end)
    end 

this looks good to u?

oh i messed up

[gray mantle]

It also wrote me a whole chunk generator with noise

[near sonnet]

anyways

[fading ermine]

🥀

[gray mantle]

You need touchended to remove player from table too

[fading ermine]

how much better is the paid version cz like claude's free seems to have a decent limit

[remote phoenix]

no

[near sonnet]

so yes or no

[remote phoenix]

yes that looks fine I think

[gray mantle]

Laser only 1 taps?

Rip

[remote phoenix]

hmm as long as this script is part of the laser itself

[gray mantle]

Im using free and i havent ran out once

[remote phoenix]

or something like that... I'm really tired

[remote phoenix]

basically you want to ensure that when the laser is deleted, then the players are removed from the table.. or if a new laser hits, it uses it's own table

[near sonnet]

does debris work for deleting the laser?

[remote phoenix]

I dunno I'm still new to luau

[near sonnet]

ill jst try it

surely it will work : D

[sick pasture]

Guys I’m working on a rng game in which you buy dice from shop and roll it to get a character and place in your base for money and rebirth so what should I start with coding in here I’m new like started 6 days ago

I have no idea where to start in coding

[remote phoenix]

make a dice that rolls

[sick pasture]

….

Should I make a database with all the characters in it and a leaderboard and all

[remote phoenix]

no

you should focus on the core gameplay, one step at a time

first make your dice roll how you want it to, then get it to give you a character

make a base that you can place characters on

make the character give you money

add rebirthing

then you can focus on adding more characters, making good UI, balancing the rebirth costs and money amounts,

and so on

[gray mantle]

yes

[sick pasture]

Yo thanks man

[grand briar]

how much would you guys charge for a full sonic movement system

[remote phoenix]

are you buying

[grand briar]

i am

[remote phoenix]

uhh I dunno

[grand briar]

dang😭

i was expecting a full breakdown

[near sonnet]

guys there is a weird block always spawning in my character but its only client sided what could it be or where can i find it

[quiet meteor]

u are probably changing transparency of humanoid root part in one of the scripts

[near sonnet]

is that a thing?

[quiet meteor]

like its an invisible part in every character

[near sonnet]

ah right

how the hell do i set the transparency of it by accident

[quiet meteor]

idk

[near sonnet]

omg i know how

i tried to hide all players and if i make them visible i also make that part visible

but how to change that?

[remote phoenix]

make that part not visible

[quiet meteor]

u can add a check like
if part.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart"

[remote phoenix]

either filter it out (^), or after you make all parts visible, specifically re-hide the humanoid root part

[near sonnet]

alr

[covert locust]

is it normal to get overwhelmed by the code you scripted for a like 5 minutes?

like you go in studio see the code you made last night and tweak out for a lil before remembering how it works?

or is that just a me problem

[remote phoenix]

yeah but usually that's a sign of room for improvement

[near sonnet]

i normally understand things better the next day

[remote phoenix]

or a sign that things can be changed

[quiet meteor]

i often have this cuz in my game i have a lot of old scripts with 1k+ lines that im afraid to refactor

[shadow sphinx]

local gatesFolder = workspace:WaitForChild("Gates")
local buttonsFolder = workspace:WaitForChild("Buttons")
local players = game:GetService("Players")

local function gateOpen(gate, button)
    local debounce = false

How’s this looking? Looking for testers too

[gray mantle]

if i is less than of equal to 0 bro?

what are you tryna do here exactly

[shadow sphinx]

When the button is pressed the gate opens for 5 seconds

[quiet meteor]

use FindFirstChild instead of GetChildren

[gray mantle]

yeah that too

[quiet meteor]

or just gatesFolder.Gate1

[shadow sphinx]

There's an error on script number 8

Would this game be something cool that people would play you guys think?

[near sonnet]

yo guys if i shoot with my laser (dw its alr coded) a rig i created takes damage if i hit it but another player doesnt. Anyone know why that could be?

[weak radish]

if ever you want something to only affect certain players you probably do it in a local script

[livid maple]

if it's a local script, you'd need to send a remote event to server that tells you hit the rig, server will validate it, then gets replicated to other clients

[near sonnet]

i alr have a remote event

[livid maple]

well you could just make the cup moving solely for animation, never let the client know where the hell the cup is

[livid maple]

wht about on the server?

[near sonnet]

yeah my server fires to client and then onClientEvent my local scripts fires Server

[livid maple]

I think you got it backwards, the client should fire, while server is OnServerEvent 🤔

[supple spindle]

the server can fire and there is infact onclientevent

so u changed the health thing and the getService every time or even more i might miss it so i ask

[remote phoenix]

?

[near sonnet]

the code u send

u changed some things

[remote phoenix]

yes

[near sonnet]

and i ask what u changed so i understand my code

[remote phoenix]

I moved the GetService's like Debris to the top of the script so you only use GetService one time (when the script loads)

[near sonnet]

ah alr

[remote phoenix]

I changed the health thingy from target.Health to humanoidTarget.Health

[polar violet]

i have a global look up table that calls all get service only once

[near sonnet]

yeah i saw taht

ty man

[cyan jacinth]

shit gen

[near sonnet]

yeah i think thats a bit advanced fo rme

[cyan jacinth]

iiii dont knowww

sigmaa

daymm

[remote phoenix]

it switches from LuaU mode to Java mode and makes a hashmap

[polar violet]

calling math.map again changes its flow over mode

[remote phoenix]

but be careful, if you use it too many times then you're stuck in Assembly

[polar violet]

but if you call it too many times it starts wiping random hash stacks

[cyan jacinth]

flow mode

shits you meant

[polar violet]

if you call it too many times again you reset the program counter back to 0 and instantly rewire the entire opcode decoder into random orders

[cyan jacinth]

bro got embrassed

[polar violet]

high five!

[remote phoenix]

call it just enough and you might escape the matrix

[near sonnet]

@remote phoenix here is my issue can you help me fix it: [it still doesnt work, could it be of smth else like test mode or smth]

still doesn't work in what way

make some debug print statements to see what is failing or not having the intended value

can i just tell AI to make debug or does it change my code

I dont know if this is good or bad but i was able to create this super basic shop system without help i started 3 days ago

[supple spindle]

looks good keep it up

[night drift]

this is the ui 😭

[icy heron]

dont use raw remote events but also your a beginneer i assume sooo

looks good tho

[night drift]

raw remote events?

[icy heron]

use a lib like packets or wtv instead of remotes

but its prob irrelevant to you rn jst ignore it

[night drift]

okey ty

[remote phoenix]

you should use a dictionairy (table)

[hearty lion]

"raw remote events" are just fine

[remote phoenix]

local items = {
    -- name = price
    "Hammer" = 50,
    "Screw" = 100
}```

[icy heron]

they are but also you should get used to using a better method

[night drift]

Yeah i forgot that existed

[icy heron]

its --

not //

[remote phoenix]

fuck

[icy heron]

this aint JS 😭

[supple spindle]

lmaoooo

[remote phoenix]

no not lame ass JS, I'm used to Kotlin

[icy heron]

ohhh

[hearty lion]

other methods are hardly better

[remote phoenix]

I'm a real pro dev 🤑 😍

[icy heron]

how did you bother to learn kotlin

[remote phoenix]

it'd still be better practice to store the code in a modulescript and use a single event handler

[icy heron]

i gotta learn it but its so weird

[remote phoenix]

well I started with minecraft plugin called Skript, then moved on to Java, then eventually decided to give Kotlin a try

[hearty lion]

i do have a tiny library to poll the events and to give them types

but buffer serdes and allat is unnecessary most of the time

[near sonnet]

guys is there a way to prevent players from moving besides anchoring them

cuz then i can fix my problem

[supple spindle]

there are multiple ways

one is set their walkspeed to 0

second one is to decline their contextactionservice registering

third on is to teleport them to that spot

fourth one could be seating them and not allowing them to stand up

[near sonnet]

nah i wanna do that they can aim for like 6 seconds and then they cant move or rotate

[supple spindle]

if you decline their contextactionservice register then that would work exactly that way

note that this is done locally, so exploiters could potentially make themselves move

[near sonnet]

hmm

i mean its jst for practise anyways

but the thing is i did it with anchored and then my touched event didnt work on them

so idk what to do else

then AI gave me an code that works but i dont rlly wanna use it cuz i dont understand it. It uses GetPartsInPart and i rlly dont know how that works

[remote phoenix]

GetPartsInParts gets all the parts basically that are touching your laser

even if it's anchored

cuz touch event might not work if it's anchored idk

[near sonnet]

yeah i also know that now xD

i guess ill just go with GetPartsInPart

at least it works now

[ember pollen]

"No, ModuleScripts in ReplicatedStorage do not share tables or their internal states between the client and the server."

[ember pollen]

You could try disabling the Humanoid.AutoRotate and then set the walkspeed and jumppower to 0

[near sonnet]

yeah true

ill jst keep it for now

i spend my whole day on this

on this 1 problem

[ember pollen]

I feel you XD, I hate when things like that happen

[wanton drum]

Does anyone know why r15 is so glitchty when it comes to making a ragdoll? Maybe I'm just ill informed.
I want to learn more complex code, but r15 is challenging with how many more limbs are actually present , especially when cloning

[ember pollen]

Well I was into learning ragdoll but it was just for R6

But I'm into cloning

R15 specifically this time

character:Clone() didn't work for me ✌️

[wanton drum]

how do you go about cloning the entire arm with r15? i feel like you'd have to go through a loop then likke put them into some type of table?

r15 makes it hard to clone a full body part because they're all split

[ember pollen]

You mean both arms or only one? What is your goal?

[wanton drum]

The Full Arm

Like how do you move/ clone that stuff in all

not just one of the singular parts of the arm.

but the arms and the hand

I wanted to make an arm cloning system similar to jojo games where you clone your hands to show a barrage animation, but r15 makes that a bit of a challenge. r6 has the arm as one full limb which would make it easy

r15 on the other hand is a different beast.

[ember pollen]

For what I have learned, it is not viable to clone character parts because that would pretty much not work

But you can still make it I think

What I did was: I create a R15 rig template and put it into replicated storage

Then I transfer the player's humanoid description to the rig, so it can copy the player's avatar

Then I parent the rig to the workspace. From now on I think you could maybe do a loop on the rig parts and destroy everything except for the arm

[ember pollen]

OHHHHH I SEE that's actually pretty cool

Or you could instead of destroying the other parts, making them invisible and CanCollide = false. Showing only the arm and animating the rig (which would only show the arm as it's transparency ≠ 1)

Perhaps what I said was more than necessary

[rocky idol]

as i've watched more videos i started to wander, are type checking and using visual studio code just preferences? ik type checking is useful, but wouldn't checking in the code do the same thing? aka print a error in case the type is incorrect?

[weak radish]

If i understand what you mean, that would just be pointless and way more time consuming than using roblox's typing

also visual studio code is mostly a preference however it lets you use things like rojo

[rocky idol]

looking online other than type checking i see a hard push torwards oop, which may be good but i would hope that it isn't the only way to make good code

i can't seem to find alternatives, and that was my question, cause i wasn't sure if there were more of a preference or advice

[weak radish]

OOP is great for the right situations but its only for solving certain problems, its not an architechture you would use in everything

[iron kraken]

ye

even react can be good but u need the right situation

[vapid radish]

type checking helps catch stuff before it runs so it’s just faster than relying on prints

using an ide is mostly just preference

and yea OOP isn’t needed, it’s just useful depending on what you’re making

[weak nest]

how do you guys put a lot of stuff on your portfoli

i can only put 6

im tryna put like 20

[haughty sapphire]

i didnt say they do, i literally said they run on one thread

[haughty sapphire]

the performance gains are quite dramatic, u can test this urself (which i have done so) even for < 10 connections it can make a big difference if each one has a lot of logic

if u want to have like 20 connections instead of 1 and have shit performance go right ahead

[stable verge]

I feel like visual studio is a preference but it does make things more organized

i mean ive never been to blender so i cant make gun or icecream models but ill make a gun

[remote bear]

added a sparse octree it will soon be used to make the engine much faster 😈

[warm spindle]

Nice

ILF an investor for a big game plan. If any investor would see this message text me

[left ginkgo]

anti aliasing was nowhere to be found 😭

[remote bear]

i am not using editable image so i can see why

[remote bear]

i swear the texture borders where always there

[wide mauve]

anyone knows how to use cframe for animations?

[frail plaza]

this optimized enough? (for a tower defense game)

[dark juniper]

no why would u do that

That’s just laggier

Just use Roblox animations

It’s made for those kinda motions and it does it efficiently

[plush zenith]

how would you guys handle Resident Evil style of dialoguing in your game?

[frail plaza]

what it look like?

[plush zenith]

you know how when a character begins speaking or when a noise plays in a game, then subtitles would appear at the bottom of the window showing what that character said or what noise played?

my question is how would i organize character lines and noise queues in my code

[frail plaza]

i would have a frame with a uilistlayout for the dialouge

and the noise queues i would have a soundcontrolelr

or a dialougecontroller

with a table of all que'd dialouges and sounds

and play them until there's none left

i believe it shouldn't be too hard

[uncut arch]

woah woah lets calm down here

talm bout some spanish or sum

[distant hamlet]

ditch humanoids

[frail plaza]

i'm turning on the removal of physics calcs

so none of the physics are being calculated

realisticaly could work without humanoid too

but humanoid makes it easier to edit things like health and speed

without using attributes

might go for an attribute based solution later

[frail plaza]

it's really simple 😭

[upper pier]

How long does it take for your applications to go through if any of you guys have sent them for this channel?

[regal salmon]

for luau scripter?

[upper pier]

yep

[regal salmon]

it depends on how many applications are in the queue and how many ARs are active during and after the time you submit it

[upper pier]

ahh ok

[regal salmon]

if your application hasnt been reviewed in 72 hours, you can submit an application ticket in #open-ticket to request it be reviewed

[upper pier]

ok

I submitted it today

So I guess I'll just wait

[upper pier]

Is there a way I can check my queue?

[regal salmon]

there is not

[upper pier]

oof

ok

I'll just wait and see then, thanks for the help

[regal salmon]

np

[median bay]

is there like a proper way to document code in luau

like jsdoc or javadoc

[vapid radish]

EmmyLua annotations

[vapid radish]

it's better to just go for attributes

[frail plaza]

ig

luckily haven't made my tower classes yet

so i'll just go for the attribute solution

do towers also need to be dealt with in the same way as attackers?

where the server doesn't render them

i suppose this is better?

aaa game movement n camera in roblox

[frail plaza]

wrong channel and this isn't AAA 😭

[thorny osprey]

just check it man

[frail plaza]

any experienced scripter could make this in an afternoon

[thorny osprey]

it's

[frail plaza]

not to discredit you but it's mid

[vapid radish]

def not triple a

i appreciate your confidence though

[frail plaza]

yea

[thorny osprey]

have every thing aa horrror survival have

[vapid radish]

yeah do the same for towers, no reason to treat them differently if the server doesn't need to simulate them

[frail plaza]

server just does replication and calculations?

really wish more scripting tutorials taught about that

[vapid radish]

yeah exactly, server handles the logic and just replicates the results to the client

[frail plaza]

so i could have had it as a habit

when i started

[vapid radish]

lol yea

it's alright though don't worry

[thorny osprey]

client just show models, vfx

[frail plaza]

yeah no i know that

just learned abt it recently tho

[thorny osprey]

everything else sever have to handle

[frail plaza]

while researching optimization

[vapid radish]

it's just directional looking, it doesn't look bad at all it's just def not AAA or even AA. it's nice but you need some real math that goes into it because it doesn't look smooth right now.

[thorny osprey]

the movement?

[vapid radish]

well yeah that too, but i'm talking about the camera smoothing

[thorny osprey]

i think it smooth

but i will try if can fix or not

[vapid radish]

you can just make a simple spring

wait

idk something like this:

local RS = game:GetService("RunService")
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local currentPos = camera.CFrame.Position
local currentLook = camera.CFrame.LookVector
local posVel = Vector3.zero
local lookVel = Vector3.zero

local stiffness = 10
local damping = 6

RS.RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt)
    local targetCFrame = -- your target camera CFrame
    local targetPos = targetCFrame.Position
    local targetLook = targetCFrame.LookVector

    -- spring pos
    local posForce = (targetPos - currentPos) * stiffness
    posVel = posVel * (1 - damping * dt) + posForce * dt
    currentPos = currentPos + posVel * dt

    -- spring look
    local lookForce = (targetLook - currentLook) * stiffness
    lookVel = lookVel * (1 - damping * dt) + lookForce * dt
    currentLook = currentLook + lookVel * dt

    camera.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(currentPos, currentPos + currentLook)
end)```

[wooden harbor]

Spring is not simple unless it is running at 100k Hz it will always glitch out

[vapid radish]

thats what delta time is for

🤦‍♂️

it scales with whatever framerate you're on

[wooden harbor]

https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/209104/why-is-my-spring-exploding-and-how-to-fix-it

[vapid radish]

this is about stability, i was talking about framerate scaling

if the spring blows up, it's because of bad integration or not enough damping

[wooden harbor]

[wooden harbor]

Can you read?

nvm

my fault for arguing with a skid

[vapid radish]

i guess

[wide mauve]

I bought this pack and it has these things and no animations

[versed arch]

steal my dinosaur

[versed arch]

this shit is aura ngl

[balmy sorrel]

That's why I posted it

[versed arch]

https://tenor.com/view/coffee-mattstonie-matt-stonie-hugh-gif-7416248

[past hill]

[wide mauve]

brother nope

is it possible to animate using these cframes?

[ivory bronze]

https://streamable.com/45im26 is ts tuff for 2 years of luau?

[balmy sorrel]

It's not bad

[shell galleon]

Was abt to say that

[ivory bronze]

ty

[balmy sorrel]

You willing to show code or is this for a game you're working on?

[ivory bronze]

i can show you the code, but not everything

[balmy sorrel]

Sounds good

[versed arch]

pixel gun 3d

[ivory bronze]

yeah the gun models and anims r not mine, it from the toolbox

[versed arch]

nice

[frail plaza]

optimized?

[shell galleon]

Whats the arrows

[balmy sorrel]

Is the fire function called every single time you want to shoot?

[ivory bronze]

yeah

[balmy sorrel]

Indentations

[frail plaza]

arrows?

[shell galleon]

Oh

[ivory bronze]

btw how can i get those arrows it seems so nice

[frail plaza]

its a settings

[balmy sorrel]

A lot of things here can be called once instead of every time you want to fire

[frail plaza]

show whitespace

in the studio settings

[ivory bronze]

bro tysm

[frail plaza]

is this good for an optimized projectile?

[ivory bronze]

should i save it in a table the first time they fire and then use them from there?

[balmy sorrel]

Depends on how you have everything structured

[potent maple]

Btw, should I keep only functions in module script for ui or I can control ui without them and just keep the init function?

[balmy sorrel]

Do you use OOP for each gun or are you using a gun controller?

[ivory bronze]

it could work, imma try it and see

[ivory bronze]

yeah i use oop

[balmy sorrel]

So each gun created has it's own data

[ivory bronze]

yes

btw should i use fast cast for bullets or keep the one i have rn (ray cast)

[balmy sorrel]

Either raycast or create your own projectile system

using raycasts

[balmy sorrel]

Why are you requiring a module every time the gun fires?

[wooden harbor]

that doesnt matter what matters is that he uses fastcast instead of raycast for optimization

[ivory bronze]

i use ray cast rn but i am planning on using fast cast

is it bad for optimization?

[balmy sorrel]

Fastcast is old

[balmy sorrel]

https://youtu.be/gSRWxtBl_dk

I would recommend creating your own

[ivory bronze]

alr ty, imma watch this vid rn

[pine plinth]

holy crap my first time using claude and this thing is insane

[harsh geyser]

Did roblox remove the feature to join groups in game?

[pine plinth]

@remote phoenix ty for putting me on

[frail plaza]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1454440658147344434/1484307503045935175/togif.gif

[harsh geyser]

For some reason my in game join group UI isnt popping up but the script is activating

[frail plaza]

needing an ai to churn out code for you is lazywork

[harsh geyser]

idk if this still works devforum.roblox.com/t/join-group-prompt/2609702/28

[delicate shoal]

Do someone know how to make an ai in Roblox studio

[frail plaza]

like a neural network?

[delicate shoal]

Yes

Cuz I had an idea of making digital circus

[frail plaza]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh-Srjeg7Ns

gl hf

also sorry to tell ya but how on earth is a neural network gonna help you make tadc

[harsh geyser]

robert do yk what im doing wrong

or nah

[frail plaza]

with waht

i'm sleep deprived as fuckkkk

[delicate shoal]

Wait this is like?

[frail plaza]

?

[delicate shoal]

It’s to like make an AI that respond to you?

Cuz my idea it’s making digital circus Caine have you watch itv

[frail plaza]

it's a neural network or a machine learning alg

[delicate shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/linologist-explain-gif-20468870

[delicate shoal]

Ohh

[frail plaza]

you need a shit ton of training data for this

[delicate shoal]

That’s peak I might watch it

[delicate shoal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1264063563698278480/1266808066863796225/attachment.gif

[frail plaza]

the only reason why chatgpt and stuff talks the wsay it does

is cus it has a lot of data

trained on

its a machine learning alg trained on a TON of data

if you wanted to make caine you would prolly need to use httpsservice to get an external already trained ai hooked up and make its personality be caine

[delicate shoal]

Ohhh

[frail plaza]

alas a true caine is never possible in roblox

[delicate shoal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1264063563698278480/1266808066863796225/attachment.gif

[frail plaza]

cus caine is a VERY complex character

[delicate shoal]

Ik

But like just him to do simple things in the game

Not like complex like actually complex things

[frail plaza]

like?

exmples

[delicate shoal]

Like talk and interact with the player or just teleport himself and ask the server or make a suggestion for a map

I might be wrong

[light fable]

yea its bad roblox game i get i t

[kindred pulsar]

whats the best way to make a hitox

[delicate shoal]

Ts peak

[frail plaza]

so like suggesting maps and interacting with players

[delicate shoal]

Raycast

[frail plaza]

just make it a npc

with premade dialouge

[delicate shoal]

Yes

[light fable]

for skinned mesh its different approach for r15 its different

depends on the character type

[delicate shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/robert-downey-jr-huh-what-iron-man-surprised-gif-17639389346286804402

[frail plaza]

spacial queries

[kindred pulsar]

r6

[light fable]

for example this characters have different hitbox approach than r15 ones

[frail plaza]

it makes ur life a whole lot easier and allows for more flexibility

[delicate shoal]

That will be lwk easy but I don’t want to add too many lines

[kindred pulsar]

i see

[hasty mesa]

roblox has a built in service

[delicate shoal]

Ik it’s easier is just I don’t like it cus when you’re playing you know that feeling when you talk to the npcs and you kinda get bored of what they’re saying and just skip it all?

[hasty mesa]

and api

to talk to an llm

[frail plaza]

that's what i suggested

[delicate shoal]

Ik but it lwk didn’t work for me so can you like teach me?

https://tenor.com/view/good-morning-gif-16980516046334969403

[hasty mesa]

what did you use

[frail plaza]

but tbh for someone like caine i doubt a llm can get him down

[delicate shoal]

I use api and paste it into the script to make it go to storage and that the npc will respond

[hasty mesa]

which api

[delicate shoal]

I was trying many first I I was using anthropic I think it’s called?

And other I forgot

Qrorc

Or whatever

[hasty mesa]

local generator = Instance.new("TextGenerator", workspace)
print(generator:GenerateTextAsync({
    UserPrompt = "hello"
}).GeneratedText)

this is roblox's built in

[delicate shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/homelander-stare-disappointed-gif-13848065843414333862

[hasty mesa]

you can give it a system prompt

[delicate shoal]

Ohhh

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1264063563698278480/1266808066863796225/attachment.gif

Wait I alr remember
