I am not at home

[weak radish]

well pivot works, youre probably just doing something wrong

[coral vine]

Ok

Thx fam

[delicate shoal]

bro aint no way

i just make caine act like caine XD

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

cuz caine doesnt need to know everything

only its purpose

so i make that

and that its learning

[remote phoenix]

caine?? tf are we talking about

[delicate shoal]

digital circus

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

ima make it now to suggest to the server to do something

so it lwk does it

its kinda good

icl i make it out so bad and if someone sees it they will scream on how bad i script

but its working

somehow

[patent nacelle]

is it possible to force a physics object to start stepping during a specific substep?

[past hawk]

Can anyone help me make a game about gravity changes ??

[delicate shoal]

Like?

Like invert the gravity

Like upside down?

Or just like from normal to 0?

[past hawk]

Left right up down

[versed arch]

it is, but the results won't be what you want

[mystic belfry]

yo

anyone know the best way i can make it so that players only can fish if theyre in a fishingzone?

do i place a part and name it fishingzone?

[pallid rain]

use zoneplus module and create a zone
when they try to fish just check through zoneplus if they are in the zone or not

super simple

[mystic belfry]

aight ty

[pallid rain]

[regal salmon]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/zoneplus-v320-construct-dynamic-zones-and-effectively-determine-players-and-parts-within-their-boundaries/1017701

[pallid rain]

and there you go you also got the link

[patent nacelle]

im making like a tycoon game and the ores take 4 different paths so im assuming its because of the 4 physics substeps

[mystic belfry]

tyty

[versed arch]

why do you have to step the ores then

[patent nacelle]

what?

[clever kindle]

what’s a physics substep

is that like a frame

[patent nacelle]

the server maintains a framerate of 60hz, but the physics runs at 240hz for accuracy, so it usually do 4 steps of the physics every frame

if you have dynamic substepping it can do more or less depending on what is happening in the game and the framerate

[distant hamlet]

zoneplus is bloat

[fossil jasper]

hey guys i am new here and i am making a game rn i need help with doing a egg hatching system sadly i cant script would anybody like to help me ? sadly i cant pay bc i am saving my money rn if you can help me dm me tysm ! :DDD

[grand briar]

is cloude good in roblox code

claude

[fossil jasper]

ig so

[versed arch]

idk, i use gemini

it's good at explaining code

[grand briar]

no chatgpt though right👀

[versed arch]

chatpgt is mega doo doo fart

[grand briar]

alright bless ill start using gemini

[remote phoenix]

yes claude is the best coding AI model currently (opus 4.6)

[grand briar]

yeah we`re using claude now i guess thanks

[clever kindle]

ohhhhhhh

do they have an event for each server physics step?

[remote phoenix]

what purpose or use case do you have for needing to do that

[humble gorge]

how do I make every player be a head in my game? like so they walk on the ground as a head

[clever kindle]

nah i was just curious

i thought the server was locked to 60

wanted to see if you can access the 240

[ornate needle]

anyone here got drones FPV missle system

[spark trellis]

yes

[ornate needle]

can u slide vid in dms

[spark trellis]

no

[weak radish]

ask themhttps://discord.com/channels/211228845771063296/1486226491292520628

[shy cipher]

don't ping Rolling Head Physics

[weak radish]

oops

[humble gorge]

ty but I alr did it, the character is a head only now

[shy cipher]

human centipede type shit

[grizzled badge]

How do I use AI to make me code

[regal salmon]

"claude, remake windows"

[dense flame]

how much do coders get paid for a full game on average?

on dollars

[regal salmon]

in this server most listings are like $100-$300 lol

but a fair pay depends on your skill and experience

[dense flame]

huh i thought it would be more than that

[regal salmon]

if you know what you're doing you SHOULD be getting paid upwards of $500-$700, more depending on the game

assuming youre not taking percentage

[regal salmon]

i said thats the average listing price, didnt say it was the correct amount lmao

[dense flame]

ohhh

im asking for possible hiring for the future ngl

[regal salmon]

majority of people in #scripter-hiring underpay

[dense flame]

yeah people in graphics also underpay

[regal salmon]

[dense flame]

another question

is it possible to make a 2d fighter game on roblox, like fully handdrawn animations etc

[regal salmon]

yes it is possible

though it'll be a bit more complicated than a 3d game since roblox doesnt natively support 2d

[dense flame]

soooo it might require more pay

got it

[sweet girder]

Where code

[cyan jacinth]

down there

[regal salmon]

under there

[silver tinsel]

under where?

[regal salmon]

[karmic tangle]

[random cedar]

Mfw I open vs code

[random cedar]

Why are you named after a skin condition

[karmic tangle]

i chose the name before i realised it was a condition

[random cedar]

At least it’s a decent looking one

[karmic tangle]

lmao

[sweet girder]

I didnt find it down there

[random cedar]

We seeing ghosts? Who are you talking to

[sweet girder]

Cant sent msg links, scroll up some lul

[kind shore]

yeah like how can scripter even develop full blown game like of $300. Clients want like a month effort for this

[hollow summit]

Depends on the scope and how good the coder is

Can be up to 100$ for basic brainrot stuff (u can prob get it for less). Can be thousands weekly if its a big game (with % its open end)

[weak radish]

A lot are 1k+

[weak radish]

Who is making a full brainrot game for 100 usd

[hollow summit]

Basic brainrot games are super simple and low effort, im pret sure u can even get templates for a similar price

[weak radish]

templates are like 10x cheaper than actual games

[hollow summit]

Usually yeah

[weak radish]

so templates shouldnt be how you judge pricing

so even if templates are 100 usd

that doesnt mean you make it for 100

[dense flame]

yea makes sense

[dense flame]

thought about how much it’d cost to code a 2d fighter game

probably a lot

[weak radish]

in roblox?

[dense flame]

yeah

how about a 2.5d fighter?

[weak radish]

what kind of stuff do you want

[dense flame]

actually can i dm the idea?

[weak radish]

ok

[hollow summit]

It all depends on the specifics

[potent igloo]

probably over 1k usd but it really depends

[dense flame]

I see

[tight mango]

Made a emotion base NPC combat system 🙂

[wraith arrow]

#⭐creations

elder scrolls oblivion reference?

[dapper root]

who have a brainrot systeme pls

[shut stump]

how do I make my game give players Admin with HD admin in game if they reach a certain goal?

[left ginkgo]

make it urself

[peak crane]

[uncut jewel]

yo where do you get a template for a game

aight thanks ill try

[edgy quarry]

hi

guysn

[potent reef]

who has a spotify dev account with an app with extended quota

[young crystal]

😭 after the announcement 90% of people in the development catogeory is getting muted 😭

[steep yoke]

lmaoo gatekeeping as a rule sounds funny ash

[keen geyser]

Well I'd tell you how to get around the rule, but I gotta have something to gatekeep. Pickins are slim right now

[steep yoke]

watch out bro 😹

[young crystal]

whats even gatekeeping

like if ur smart enough how to code and dont say it u get muted 😭

[humble maple]

I believe that it is important

Obviously you're not gonna be required to drop the code of your entire project

Just some snippets that may help people

[violet flame]

hi i actually wna learn coding , i really like it but idk how to learn it , how can i become better i’ve always wanted to be able to code whatever i want without yt tutorials but i don’t know how to learn and i don’t feel like progressing even if i try 8hours can someone guide me please

[toxic grove]

Is OOP something like: Animal class - Eats and Sleeps, Mammal and birds inherit with their own functions like birds can fly but mammals have different animals

[young crystal]

dont use yt use the engine roblox provides

[humble maple]

Just code. And you'll learn, do it with no experience
It's how I learned, but you gotta understand the basics such as functions, variables, value types etc

[violet flame]

wym the engine roblox provides

[young crystal]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine

[humble maple]

Try creating something

[toxic grove]

Read docs

[uneven kernel]

am i the only one who finds roblox documentation hella confusing to learn from

[young crystal]

i mean u can get basics from yt like struturing and stuff but after that docs is what u need

[toxic grove]

Its more for a better understanding than learning imo.

[violet flame]

i would like but tbh every idea i get r all super hard to do.

[steep yoke]

guessing if someone asks how to do this u literally can't tell them to figure it out or read docs or something u have to give cose

[toxic grove]

Then start simple

[humble maple]

Yes they lack examples and explanation, other than that they're great

[toxic grove]

Print stuff, simple if statements etc

[young crystal]

dang the devs are extremely being strict wth

that doesent even makes sense

because telling someone to go read docs is actually good for them

[toxic grove]

What if someone demands a working Raycasting gun script

[young crystal]

other wise they dont learn anything

[toxic grove]

For free

[humble maple]

Not what gatekeeping is but that's just basic respect, you don't tell someone to figure it out themselves after they asked for help, you lead them to the sources of info and try to explain it to them

Wrong reply

[steep yoke]

id rather someone tell me to figure it out

do u give me fish or tell me how to find fish

[young crystal]

they wont learn anything tho

[steep yoke]

same w docs

id rather be taught how to find what i need then rely on other ppl

[humble maple]

never said you have to give them the code, I said lead them to the sources (doc links that contain what they asked for) of info and explain to them (teach them)

[young crystal]

i get what ur tryna to say blossomical but the fact u can get muted for that and actually banned is extremely strict and dumb

[steep yoke]

actual id get if someone told you ur bad etc thats js toxicity but yeah that rule is stupid And prolly why this is the first server to do that

[humble maple]

you're not obliged to provide someone with this it's just that you have to give a proper answer or no answer

[toxic grove]

So basically. Be a good person and help them instead of ignoring

[young crystal]

theres no point in helping someone if you say "GO look in the docs" they look in docs "I get muted" and i cant expand on trying to explain and help them with there code so they actually can learn

[violet flame]

why is helping ppls bannable

[humble maple]

you can ignore if you don't know the answer, being a good person is enough

[young crystal]

gatekeeping, not choosing ur word correctly u cant just tell someone go look in docs

u will get muted before even helping them

[violet flame]

oh i thought helping ppls how to find a doc etc was bannable

[humble maple]

"go to the docs" is vague, "there's a page in docs that talks about ... [Link to the docs]" is proper

[young crystal]

pretty sure thats what im trying to say it falls under gatekeeping

[young crystal]

isnt that still gatekeeping?

the word gatekeeping they used is terrible if thats not what they meant

[humble maple]

not really, that's just disrespect

[steep yoke]

gatekeeping is a terrible word for that rule anyway

really stupid word.. it's accosiated with keeping something from someone not whatever they meant

[young crystal]

thats what im tryna to say

because giving someone docs without helping them out at first is gatekeeping

[humble maple]

From my understanding, it's keeping resources that people may find useful private, despite not being mainly used in a project

[young crystal]

yea

what was the need of that announcement

theres already rules in place

like tf?

[humble maple]

The rules don't do anything, have you seen the help channels

[steep yoke]

but gatekeeping is meant to describe hiding something obscure.. docs are public and very easy useable, enough for even chatgptwto tell u

[young crystal]

thats the mods fault for not moderating

not the rule ssytem

system*

[humble maple]

people are just gonna tell you "go look at the docs", "you're terrible at coding get better", instead of providing even the tiniest bit of aid (such as leading them to the correct page in docs)

[livid gull]

why you guys arguing

[young crystal]

because that helps them in the long run

[humble maple]

Not really sure what goes on in this server but the mods might not be able to handle the help channels constantly because of the many people that break the rules

[young crystal]

besides the 2nd quote u said

[humble maple]

It's just a discussion not an argument

[young crystal]

thats muteable

[livid gull]

well move this discussion somewhere else

[humble maple]

No

[elfin moon]

im trying to make a weeping angel and its not working?? idk i used ai ngl

[young crystal]

regardless the #announcements they made is extremely vauge and not correct wording

[novel parrot]

I don't trust ai for my code

[elfin moon]

its telling me steps to do and its just not working

it sends different scripts every time and i cant script

[novel parrot]

like you cant script without ai? Or is your knowledge limited?

[elfin moon]

like i just cant script AT ALL

ik abt parents and thats it

[novel parrot]

start from the bottom then

[humble maple]

I do think that it was necessary, It makes me happy seeing people get the help they need instead of being drowned out by pictured of slop such as ai generated vintage clocks in dresses

[frigid wagon]

Get a buddy scripter or learn

[young crystal]

alright they are fixing some of it in #announcements

[elfin moon]

kk

[humble maple]

much better

[novel parrot]

watch brawldev and gnome code, set your expectations lower than they are right now (thats a me thing, It takes time to make something simple)

[frigid wagon]

What

[elfin moon]

[novel parrot]

and apply the code you learned into things you like to do

I learned by playing my favorite games and seeing if I can make a system from it

[frigid wagon]

imo YouTube dev tutorials help just so much but for the very start

[novel parrot]

Those evolve into projects

[novel parrot]

It can be overwhelming

[frigid wagon]

not overwhelming just

Hard to learn of

Off*

[novel parrot]

Depends on who you watch

[frigid wagon]

trust me

YouTube is not the only teacher

it's more like a kickstarter

[novel parrot]

Dev forum is very helpful too

most people have my same problems

[frigid wagon]

True

[novel parrot]

and if not, parts of it so I can use pieces to fix my own stuff

[humble maple]

Personally I think that learning lua starting with Roblox is not a good decision

[frigid wagon]

who be learning lua not for roblox

[humble maple]

I recommend love2d or anything else

[humble maple]

To learn the basics of lua, it's better to start outside of Roblox

[frigid wagon]

ok and I never even knew lua existed if it wasn't for roblox

[strange umbra]

anyone ehre know the best way to uplaode a rig piture ona ui without viewportframes example for index

[frigid wagon]

Roblox put lua in it's shadow

[barren lintel]

openresty and computercraft spring to mind for me though I'm sure there's a lot more

[humble maple]

I learned lua to code in pssych engine, this is my little alchemy 2 port in lua with pink pantheress in the bg

a rhythm game mind you
-# this was made 3 years ago

[frigid wagon]

Interesting

ngl idk what's pssych engine is

[humble maple]

A Friday night funkin engine

[frigid wagon]

actually very interesting

how did you make that 😭

isn't it's supposed to be like arrow up down left right and u click and

[novel parrot]

This has some truth

[wanton halo]

Why would u do this bruh

So random

[humble maple]

I used a library that I made that makes me able to use OOP-like structured objects instead of just luajit functions that communicate with haxe, and then I just wrote everything else idk how to explain

[frigid wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-yapping-i-stand-at-the-end-of-my-days-i-have-sinned-at-the-end-of-my-days-speed-talking-gif-17714085846938483931

[humble maple]

I do the most random stuff, I made a drawing app, a piano, Wolfenstein raycasting, And Perspective projection in fnf

[wanton halo]

I guess bro

[humble maple]

here it is, I also coded a bot play that uses midi file parsing for jt

[frigid wagon]

That's so cool

[novel parrot]

today i finished a hallway parkour generation system that creates a unique hallway everytime + the length and theme is customizable

also learned module script functions with this

[humble maple]

That's amazing, it'd be sick if more obby games used randomization

[frigid wagon]

man y'all show cool work and I don't have anything yet to flex

[humble maple]

you can try replicating other people's work

It's a way of learning and having fun

[frigid wagon]

no I'm working on something right now

[humble maple]

ah alright

[novel parrot]

thank you dude

its going to be a get crushed by a speeding wall roguelike

[inland dragon]

Does anyone know why using the function :MoveTo() on a model with unanchored parts move the actual model, but using model.hrp.position doesnt with a vector3 when the models primary part is the hrp?

[spring flame]

im making a combat game wanted to wanted to add an evasive system to the game because my current one is bad and only gives iframes, I was thinking of jjs's system where you dash out or deepwokens where you can vent since those are the ones I know best. But what do yall think is a good system?

[jovial moat]

Moving the primary part does not recalculate the rest of the model.

[inland dragon]

So why does hrp.position not work then

[jovial moat]

Because, like I said, moving the primary part does not recalculate the rest of the model

[inland dragon]

Oh alr i get it now thanks

[cunning horizon]

you should just weld the parts together

[inland dragon]

Alr thx

[inland dragon]

I welded all the parts together, used hrp.Position and its not working still?

[cunning horizon]

which weld constraint did u use?

Oh shoot

[inland dragon]

?

What

[inland dragon]

?

[cunning horizon]

are you suing weld constraint

[inland dragon]

Yes

[cunning horizon]

So not a weld?

yh js change the cframe not the position

[inland dragon]

Why doesnt it work though even with weld constraints

[cunning horizon]

im not used to constraints I just automatically assumed it would work

but im pretty sure normal welds

normal welds just keeps position of another part or an offset

Actually yeah im not sure sorry bro

[inland dragon]

Alr its fine thank you for trying to help though

[inland dragon]

Yea

this worked

Thx

anyone know what the best way to store massive numbers in ordereddatastores is?

without them capping at 9.22Qi

[slim sonnet]

I bought a map and there were malicious scripts, I didnt publish or anything and I deleted all of the scripts, can my account still get in trouble

[honest flower]

use a module like EternityNum2

[delicate shoal]

works perfectly thanks

most confusing module ever though

[honest flower]

very

[delicate shoal]

guys

how do i make a censor for the chat?

[hoary cedar]

You don't. Roblox will do this automatically

All custom chats must now be made with TextChatService

[delicate shoal]

ohh

but i have a question

if i want to make my own custom censor

like lets say you said something like a bad word

and it will censored

but instead of those #######

it will be an image

[autumn hull]

image is same for all ###########?

[wise turtle]

no

[delicate shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-sad-meme-sad-emoji-images-sad-emoji-emoji-gif-2474532052201264777

[autumn hull]

i mean i dont think it will be problem for some basic words, that randomlly get cesored, stil in same group.

do they even give API to determine the group?

[wise turtle]

it will be a problem

[autumn hull]

but just make it an emote

of course not for censored words though

but yeah still making that is like walking on edge of roblox ToS

[delicate shoal]

I see

[upper jay]

oh seriously? does roblox disallow custom renditions of the filter, even if u completely follow what roblox gives as a filtered string?

[bronze garnet]

does anyone know what I need to do for this damn asset creation call, AvatarCreationService:PromptCreateAvatarAssetAsync(), I have everything right except the accessory. I keep getting the error of null mesh and texture, even though they are correct.

[pine plinth]

@remote phoenix how long usually until calude pro stops

cuz free one is like 3 messages and its done

[remote phoenix]

it depends on how much context you're using up

[pine plinth]

1000+ lines

[remote phoenix]

line count doesn't really tell me anything

but I dunno man just buy it on your own accord

[pine plinth]

i just be telling claude to remake the script with the new thing i told it like adding a spin animation for example

[remote phoenix]

it's only a $20 purchase and you get to use it for a whole month bro... do all the experimenting you want with it

[pine plinth]

bet send me 20

[remote phoenix]

yeah no fuck that

[pine plinth]

💀

[remote phoenix]

I'd rather send claude another $20

[vapid radish]

well you shouldn't really use it to give the whole script back

it's prob gonna burn through your credits

[remote phoenix]

you shouldn't be giving it a script or asking for a script back at all, you should be using the roblox MCP

[pine plinth]

whats mcp

again

[remote phoenix]

model context protocol

[vapid radish]

it just links AI models to your game and lets them edit it

[remote phoenix]

model (claude) context (tell it how to use tools) protocol (give it tools it can use to interact with roblox directly)

[pine plinth]

wait im pooping lets continue this convo in a sec

[pine plinth]

wawait so they can edit in roblox??

no way

[vapid radish]

yea

[pine plinth]

WHAT??

how???

[remote phoenix]

using MCP bro we just went over this

[vapid radish]

yea explain it to him kaicantcode

[pine plinth]

how do i set a mcp

up

[remote phoenix]

look at the roblox MCP github

[pine plinth]

wats that

[remote phoenix]

...

google it

[pine plinth]

bro just tell me what to do

[remote phoenix]

okay so first you need to google "roblox MCP github"

[modest quiver]

There is too many steps to do I would rather make things by myself 😭

[pine plinth]

HEY NO BEAM LINKS

[remote phoenix]

me when it's literally just 3 steps

[modest quiver]

Not 3 steps but okay

[remote phoenix]

1.. 2... 3! wow I can count to 3

alright your loss I guess

[modest quiver]

It’s just a listing not steps

[pine plinth]

idk looks sus

[modest quiver]

[modest quiver]

It’s legit

[willow maple]

Who the hell

Mentioned 4 times

In annnouncements

[delicate shoal]

Do yall think a digital circus game it’s a good idea?

[wet marsh]

not code related.. grr...

[cyan bobcat]

Yes

[delicate shoal]

It is

For coding ai

[wet marsh]

i have no idea what digital circus is about actually

all i know is pomni lwk bad

[cyan bobcat]

It is a show watch it it good

[delicate shoal]

It’s a good show

But yea coming back to the coding part

I manage to make Caine and bubble

But their responses are so bad

And so boring but they are there and they can do it and Caine can decided adventures and somehow create maps

Yes I made that all yesterday and today

[clear fjord]

I use the free one, no 2x usage and it gave me well more than that.

[haughty sapphire]

why bro got so many folders

[fading bronze]

Organization

[haughty sapphire]

having more folders does not make it more organized

[fading bronze]

It can

[haughty sapphire]

it usually doesnt, if u have to expand like 6 folders to get to the file u want it just slows u down

[fading bronze]

Search bar

[fading bronze]

UI devs got it worse

[haughty sapphire]

ok but folder spam = bad

[fading bronze]

yeah

I mean folders can help if u need organization but that's too much

[remote phoenix]

well thank goodness they're using AI so it doesn't even matter

[fading bronze]

"Claude, make this game work."

[pine plinth]

MY GOD CLAUDE AI IS SO GOOOD

[pine plinth]

idk i think its organzied and it was from my previous scripter

@remote phoenix LFG

[remote phoenix]

yeah now let's come up with some cool game ideas and make them so we can both get rich

[pine plinth]

AHAHHAHA i got my spin system to work entirlyyyy

AHAHHAHA

ik nothing about scripting btw

[remote phoenix]

I only know java coding so same here kind of

[pine plinth]

i have a community of people waiting for my game to drop

[remote phoenix]

(a lot of roblox's scripting requires knowledge that is specific to roblox)

[remote phoenix]

same here but for my minecraft server which I'm still busy making

[tidal heron]

you code plugins or?

[remote phoenix]

yeah but not for public use, just for my servers

[tidal heron]

where did you learn java?

[remote phoenix]

I wanted to make plugins so I jumped straight into making them and asked AI all my questions

[tidal heron]

interesting, how are you hosting the server?

[remote phoenix]

Minehut, it's the most popular server host

[tidal heron]

free?

[remote phoenix]

not really

it does have a free plan but it has a 4 hour time limit

[pine plinth]

@remote phoenix u heard of lemonade ai?

im using it rn

its kinda good too

they give u 1 credit everyday but u gotta be in there discord

[remote phoenix]

yeah I've heard of it but didn't want to bother using it

would much rather just use claude

[pine plinth]

im using both cuz i run out of claude in like 1 minute

[remote phoenix]

it's probably just a claude wrapper anyways

[pine plinth]

i might just fuck it and buy premium

or pro

[remote phoenix]

(claude but with custom instructions and maybe a custom MCP too)

[tidal heron]

when it comes to optimizing code ai just fucks up

[dense spade]

i wonder if anyone here can guide me to set up ai connection to studio without paying ai models

[remote phoenix]

man not this conversation again

you can't just group all AI together as if they're all the same, and prompting matters a lot

[tidal heron]

dude i've tried coding with ai it literally doesnt work

[dense spade]

i need it for useless boring work

[remote phoenix]

yeah you're probably just shit at using it

and probably used chatgpt or something

[tidal heron]

yeah sure keep using ai

[remote phoenix]

okay I will

my AI that is optimized and has no issues at all... unlike whatever tf you were using

[tidal heron]

what can your optimized ai do?

[remote phoenix]

write code

[dense spade]

do u know how to connect free ai model to studio?

[remote phoenix]

no I have no clue

[tidal heron]

like any other ai

[fading bronze]

Ask Claude

[pine plinth]

ye nm fuck lemonage ai it just messed up

calude ai>>

[dense spade]

smart

[fading bronze]

It's what I did

[fading bronze]

Never used lemonade it looks mid

[pine plinth]

u know what ima justy buy claude pro rn

@remote phoenix this shiiii better give me unlimited uses

have u ever ran out of uses? with pro

[remote phoenix]

it won't and you should learn to limit how much context you use up with various methods like writing a plan so it doesn't need to keep reading all files to modify 1 thing

and often /clear to clear context

I sometimes like to plan this out in steps, and include necessary context in the plan. then finish step 1

[pine plinth]

a plan? nah fuck that we going to court with no plan and free balling it

[remote phoenix]

yeah when I first started using it

[pine plinth]

im plan to be on it for 24 hours staright

is that possible

wtf man im paying 20$ for not unlimited

yo 130$ plan 😭

whos paying for that mann

[remote phoenix]

but another fun thing to do if you want to try scripting yourself (and you might find that you enjoy scripting) is to just ask claude your scripting-related questions

takes up very little context

it's nice to build your knowledge too if you care about that, but if you don't care then it doesn't matter and you can just continue to abuse claude

[pine plinth]

hmm i kinda want to understand it better

how can i do that

[remote phoenix]

the current learning meta is to treat AI like a personal mentor and as if its Google search
hop straight into roblox studio and start trying to code something. ask AI all your questions

me when I copy paste it again for the 100th time

[dense spade]

should just ask AI to do that for u

[remote phoenix]

you also don't need to actually code anything, you can just ask for some code and try to figure out how it works.. like "why do we use ... instead of ..."

[dense spade]

Ask AI to continue discord conversation for you

[remote phoenix]

but that requires a base level of knowledge I think

[remote phoenix]

I did have claude write me a macro program so I can autoclick on roblox games while doing other stuff

like coding my minecraft server

[pine plinth]

Claude is getting to popular

[remote phoenix]

no not many people know

[pine plinth]

its now 2nd in app store yesterday it was like 6th

[remote phoenix]

earlier or maybe it was yesterday, someone said they were using chatgpt

[pine plinth]

for ai

[remote phoenix]

oh okay maybe it is popular statistically but I mean I don't see many people actually talking about claude specifically

at least not in the few communities I'm in

[dense spade]

arent there auto playing things like in youtube for popular roblox gamesv

like i remember there was Auto fish for Fisch
it used AutoHotkey software

[remote phoenix]

yeah there are specific macros for different games that usually use AutoHotKey or Python, but I am on Linux

AutoHotKey doesn't support Linux

[dense spade]

what linux distro

[remote phoenix]

and also I don't think you can create a background auto clicker for roblox on windows but I don't really remember

[remote phoenix]

Kubuntu

[dense spade]

was it hard to set up?

better than windows?

[remote phoenix]

no it has a set up screen that is really simple and easy to use

any linux distro can be considered better than windows since it is generally less bloated, but certain games and applications won't work on it

[dense spade]

yea most anti cheat games dont work

[remote phoenix]

and linux doesn't really like nvidia gpus but Kubuntu has been working mostly fine for me even though I have an nvidia gpu

[dense spade]

and making games work is generally not the most straightforward thing to do

i did install bazzite once

[dense spade]

what nvidia gpu you have?

[remote phoenix]

I don't know about that... I only really play steam games which happen to support linux, or Roblox which is just one download (Vinegarhq on flatpak)

[rocky idol]

i have a issue with making a day night cycle, since when the clockTime reaches 24, when i tween it to 1 it goes back from 24 -23-22 ecc until 1 am which ruins everything

[red hedge]

instead of starting from 24, make clockTime = 0 and then tween it

[rocky idol]

the clock starts from 7am, but my issue is that ig goes up until 24 and then when i have to tween it to 0 or 1 it counts back, like 23-22 until 0 or 1, making a effect similar to the universe reset in jojo if you know

[red hedge]

yeah, but I'm not telling you to tween it to 0, I'm telling you to set it back to 0, because 0 is basically 24 if your working with any clock

and then it will instead tween from 0 - 1

and so on

@rocky idol

[rocky idol]

so i found a solution where i use timeofday rather than clocktime but without tweening the moon

probably if i use a mix of the two i could get what i want, still thx for the help ❤️

[red hedge]

[scenic shore]

if i had a minecraft type inventory system where every item is a tool, how would i handle drops, cause roblox when picking up a tool automatically equips it if it has a handle

[sweet girder]

If you insist using tools the entire time, you can rename the Handle part to anything but "Handle"

To prevent touch pickup

[dense spade]

RequiresHandle to false?

[sweet girder]

Last I tried, that didnt work for the touch interest, rather just the Activate functionality

[scenic shore]

would that mean i would have to change my pickup script?

cause it doesnt work if require handles is false

[dense spade]

no idea,i just reccomended it

[icy heron]

don't use tools

make your own tool handler

[scenic shore]

ye but i already made it

[icy heron]

otherwise do what they said

[scenic shore]

and im kinda lazy rn

[icy heron]

too bad then 😭😭 there's really only that option

[scenic shore]

i turned it off but it still unequips my equiped* tool😭😭

[icy heron]

dont think you can disable touch interest

[icy heron]

?

[scenic shore]

i disabled requireshandle

[icy heron]

like if you pick it up, it takes off the item your holding?

[scenic shore]

ye

[icy heron]

yea that's just unavoidable

literally have to make your own tool handler

[scenic shore]

bro what is this 1939 germany

[icy heron]

???

[scenic shore]

makes no sense why roblox doesn't just let you disable it

[icy heron]

they do

you make your own tool handler

💀

[scenic shore]

im talking about their own tool handler

now i gotta spend like 30 mins of extra work😔

[icy heron]

because it's useless to literally 99% of people

plus you'd have to make one anyways

for a offhand

😭

[scenic shore]

im not making a offhand tho

[icy heron]

didn't you say you're making a minecraft style game?

oh well

[scenic shore]

well its closer to muck

actually its exactly muck

[sweet girder]

No offhand? Holy social credit plummet

[dense spade]

unity's particle system

[icy heron]

he went from honoured citizen to slave 😔😔😔😔😔🤔🤔🤔

[scenic shore]

alr so what does a tool framework need exactly

like equip, unequip and all that

this must be how the slaves felt like😩

[icy heron]

uh

just look up robloxes tool API

[sweet girder]

Why not just make it so when a player "drops" a tool, it creates a model of that tool to plop into workspace. On pickup, just give the player a new tool

In backpack, tool. In workspace, a model, part, whatever

[scenic shore]

i disabled backpack cause i got my own system

and it would still have the same problem

[icy heron]

thatd work but also it's gonna be real buggy if a single bug happens

[icy heron]

it wouldn't

if it's a model it isn't a tool

[scenic shore]

oh wait the model part

didnt read that

[icy heron]

if it isn't a tool it isn't picking it up

[scenic shore]

ye i mean thats what im doing rn

cause i would have to change like 6 scripts to implement my own tool framework

Hi guys. I've been trying for some time to make an asym like game, and the project it's doing pretty good atm. I wanted to add a retro Roblox style player name ui, which I managed to do, but I can't get the "player name" text to change in the player's username. How can I do it? Thanks.

Hey, I made some code to duplicate several templates into a scrollingframe. Why do only the 2th and 3th show the names and the first loop doesnt run or smth? local ShopGui = script.Parent

local ShopFrame = ShopGui:WaitForChild("ShopFrame")
local ScrollingFrame = ShopFrame.ScrollingFrame
local ShopLabel = ShopFrame.ShopLabel

local ItemTemplate = ShopGui.ShopHandler.ItemTemplate
local ItemBuy = ItemTemplate.ItemBuy
local ItemName = ItemTemplate.ItemLabel
local ItemInfo = ItemTemplate.ItemInfo

local ItemModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.ItemModule)

for _, item in pairs(ItemModule.Items) do

local newItem = ItemTemplate:Clone()
newItem.Name = item.Name
newItem.Parent = ScrollingFrame

ItemName.Text = item.Name
ItemInfo.Text = item.Description
ItemBuy.Text = "Buy: "..item.Price

ItemBuy.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyItem:FireServer(item.Name)
end)

end

its like the first loop doesnt run or something

[sage badge]

The bug is that youre setting ItemName.Text ItemInfo.Text and ItemBuy.Text on the original template's children instead of the cloned items children. You clone first but then reference the template directly.

[sick flicker]

How do i fix it?

nvm

[versed arch]

I'M SO FUCKING RETRO!!!!!

[rich tartan]

Bro........................ i'm trying to optimize the packet size im sending through my events. and i swear this shit dont make any sense sometimes

I turned a string into an integer, that i then parse into an enum locally, and guess what

the packets are 10% BIGGER

HOW?????

how is a number bigger then a string??? wtf

https://klipy.com/gifs/confuse-cat

[haughty linden]

Yes

[wise turtle]

numbers are expensive

sometimes, even cframes can be cheaper because of roblox compression

anyway use buffers if u want to reduce bandwidth

[median tree]

Cuz you can add numbers

Duh

[jovial moat]

I'm pretty sure instances take the least size for networking packets and whatnot

Like if you fire them over a remote

Since it's just a reference to something else

[rich tartan]

what? is that a joke?

[median tree]

Roblox developers trying to make their code run 0.0000001% faster

[wise turtle]

tables and booleans are cheaper than instances

[median tree]

Nope it’s real

[jovial moat]

Are they? I'm pretty sure instances are just a couple of bytes

Maybe booleans

But no way tables are too

[wise turtle]

instances are 4 bytes

tables are 2 bytes

[sweet girder]

Replicating your mom is pretty high up there

[jovial moat]

Fair, although that goes up the moment you actually fill up the table, so idk if I count that lol

[weak radish]

😐

[wise turtle]

a string can be cheaper than an instance too

depends on the length of the string

[jovial moat]

interesting

[wise turtle]

people used to serialize to strings before buffers

[tame compass]

How could I optimize a PixelBattle system? (you have a canvas with a certain amount of rows and columns, every player can paint a certain cell (pixel) and people kind of have a battle, by coloring eachothers pixels)

Needing your server to save data about every changed pixel is kinda harsh

especially if you have like a 100x100 canvas

that's 10000 pixels already

[jovial moat]

You can compress it with buffers, there are tons of libraries for that

[rich tartan]

i'm reading up on that right now, from what i can seee they can only be used for strings?

[tame compass]

can you explain it in a simple way?

how does that work

I just want to understand the basics of what you mean

[jovial moat]

https://data-oriented-house.github.io/Squash/

[tame compass]

thanks, I'll look into that

[wise turtle]

no thats not true

[jovial moat]

Yeah buffers can be used for any data type

[jovial moat]

Take a look at the link I sent @rich tartan

[autumn raft]

guys what system should i make for my portfolio

[wise turtle]

well you can be smart about it

[wise turtle]

store only whats changed

and also, since its painting

most pixels next to each other are going to be the same colour

[jovial moat]

Something you haven't done before

[wise turtle]

instead of saving individual pixels u can save chunks of the same colour

[autumn raft]

mhm

very helpful

[tame compass]

Ye I thought about that

[tame compass]

And I didn’t really get what you meant here

[rich tartan]

how much network bandwith is trully too much? the in studio profiler thingy tells you to aim for 50kbs but is that actually realistic?

my game currently takes 1000 kbs

but theres literally 1000 monsters chasing the player

[wise turtle]

cells that are not changed do not need to be stored as you can just infer that it is blank

[rich tartan]

wtf am i supposed to get this working with 50 kbs ?

[median tree]

Save by rgb

[tame compass]

Oh, ye, that’s kind of obvious

[rich tartan]

it doesnt make sense, i think i'm just being misguided by a generic guideline

[wise turtle]

well u said 10000 pixels

but in reality it will be a lot less

• the 2d quadtree approach

[tame compass]

I will have a Color palette probably

So colors could be just stored as numbers

Like I’ll make a module that’ll have all the colors

And they’ll just be numbers

[wise turtle]

divide the canvas into regions and each group of colours will be only 1 node

so its highly dynamic

[tame compass]

[1] = Red and etc.

[tame compass]

Ok, thanks for the tips

[tame compass]

Also I want to store other information - player who coloured the pixel and when

Something like that

[median tree]

Use RLE

[wise turtle]

RLE is mid cause its linear

[median tree]

💀

What’s the replacement

[tame compass]

ok i'll check that out

[wise turtle]

the algo i just made up

[median tree]

Made up

[wise turtle]

im imagining a quadtree-like structure where each group of colour can be represent with 1 field

[tame compass]

wait that's dope

[median tree]

Yush

[wise turtle]

RLE is too generalized because it can be applied to anything

its 1 dimensional

[tame compass]

but It probably doesn't fit my case

because i still need to save individual information about every pixel (player who coloured it and when he colored it)

[wise turtle]

that stuff can still be stored if u use a RLE-like system

it will just make u lose out on a lot of savings

[median tree]

Yea

[tame compass]

how?

[wise turtle]

u compress evertyhing thats the same colour and by the same player into 1

it adds more rules to what u can compreds

doesn't mean u can't compress at all

[tame compass]

hmmm

I'll think about that

Thanks a lot, really

[wise turtle]

pixels are very very small and it if very unlikely 2 pixels next to each other have different players

the majority of the times a group of pixels will be from the same player

so its still optimizable

[winged ruin]

Hey question, Thanks. How much does it take to make a script profile system and how much would be good to pay for it? I’m not too sure

[tame compass]

what's the (point) of doing (that)

[tame compass]

There's a lot of libraries. You can find them on DevForum

[winged ruin]

Oh, sorry does it bother you, I was was only going to do it once, but then did it twice just things that were not very important to the question

[tame compass]

That just looks strange

[winged ruin]

Mmm thanks I’ll look around

Fixed

[tame compass]

Also, if I would’ve made a global canvas, that is the same for all the servers - how would I make it accurate on all servers?

Probably MessagingService and DataStores?

[fleet wasp]

[novel estuary]

[dawn glacier]

can someone explain why this local script doesnt work.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Sword = game.ReplicatedStorage.ClassicSword
local inarena = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(plr)
if plr then
print("Touched")
if inarena == false then
local copysword = Sword:Clone()
copysword.Parent = Player.Backpack
inarena = true
elseif inarena == true then
return
end

end

end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(plr)
if plr then
if inarena == true then
inarena = false
end
end
end)

[upper jay]

what are you trying to do here

if this is something like a "a part that gives ClassicSword to whoever touches it", use a serverscript, remove localplayer code (irrelevant as ur already getting the "plr" variable from .Touched and .TouchEnded)

[tame compass]

Also you don’t get the player from .Touched and .TouchEnded - you get the part, that touched the part, that fired the event

[dawn glacier]

so what should i change

[dawn glacier]

oh

[tame compass]

You can check if part.Parent has a humanoid object

And then check if Part.Parent is a player

[dawn glacier]

with FindFirstChild?

[tame compass]

game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)

[tame compass]

Yes

[dawn glacier]

im gonna try

[shell saddle]

is there a way to change the colormap on a surface appearance?-

[upper jay]

oh holy 2 am brain i somehow didnt catch that lol

i recommend getting the player like this:

local PS = game:GetService("Players")

local part: Part = script.Parent

part.Touched:Connect(function(part)
    local char = part:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")
    local player = char and PS:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
    
    -- if part is infact connected to player & player exists, then...
    if player then
        -- insert ur code
    end
end)

[upper jay]

yeah this works too but i just want to say, itll be more reliable to avoid assuming that part.Parent is equal to char, (eg .Touched actually gets parts under player accessories)

hence the :FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")

[dawn glacier]

I did smth like this

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Sword = game.ReplicatedStorage.ClassicSword
local inarena = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(plr)
if plr then
print("Touched")
if inarena == false then
local copysword = Sword:Clone()
local realplr = plr.Parent.Parent
copysword.Parent = realplr.Backpack
inarena = true
elseif inarena == true then
return
end

end

end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(plr)
if plr then
if inarena == true then
local realplr = plr.Parent.Parent
local sword = realplr.Backpack:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword")
if sword then
sword:Destroy()
end
inarena = false
end
end
end)

goin to bed

What’s better: disabling and enabling the UI to hide the menu, or hiding the frame?

[jovial moat]

Just updated my coding conventions a bit more to better explain things and better typecheck OOP. Thoughts? https://miagobble.github.io/Oxomo-Coding-Conventions/

[random cedar]

Is the frame holding other things?

[potent maple]

Yeah

I mean, I usually just turn off frame visibility

but disabling ui seems easier

if frame doesn't hold other things

[jovial moat]

Me when I disable BOTH to get maximum AWESOMENESS

Hey, does anyone here use rojo?

I wanted to ask why my rojo syncback aint workin

[steady wren]

how do i make an over the shoulder camera?

[keen comet]

Wdym

[random cedar]

I think attach a part to the player make it invisible and turn off collision and change the cframe to the part?

[severe vine]

Yk rojo?

A way of connecting roblox to VS code

[keen comet]

A bit yeah

[severe vine]

okay

so rojo --version gives me "Rojo 7.6.1"
but rojo syncback throws an error:

error: Found argument 'syncback' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context

Hold up. i might be dumb

[steady wren]

but how do I make the camera move freely and not stay stuck in a single direction?

[random cedar]

Hmmmmm

[steady wren]

i kinda did that with scripts but the camera is stuck in the player's rootpart direction

local function configCamera()
    local characterCframe = character.PrimaryPart.CFrame
    camera.CFrame = characterCframe * CFrame.new(cameraPos)
end

local connection

gun.Equipped:Connect(function()
    
    camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
    mouse.Icon = 'rbxassetid://126275235689531'
    UserImputSerivce.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter
    RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(configCamera)
end)

here's my code

[random cedar]

Try to make it think the part is actually the head

Or figure out how to use mouse movement to move the part around

[keen comet]

What even is syncback

[steady wren]

hmm ok

[random cedar]

Probably reverts to an older version

[severe vine]

Its a way of getting rojo setup from a RBLX file (roblox place)

[random cedar]

Not what I thought at all

[keen comet]

[severe vine]

Changes since Rojo 7.6.1

Additions
Added rojo syncback. Syncback is a feature designed to solve the long-standing problem of converting an existing place file into a Rojo project. Go to the section in this release for more information. (#937)
Added support for .jsonc in all places where you can use .json. (#1159)

Hold up, does Changes since 7.6.1 mean. its not in 7.6.1?

[random cedar]

[severe vine]

my bad im just outdated ig. even tho i redownloaded rojo today 😛

mb

oh ik why

im dumb shi

[keen comet]

You are trying to port a rblx file to rojo right?

[severe vine]

ye ye

[keen comet]

Use ts https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rbxlx-to-rojo

[severe vine]

i think i found the reason its wrong

And i got it working

[pine plinth]

@remote phoenix do i need pro to use mcp

[severe vine]

I thought 7.6.1 is enought. but it wasnt lol cuz i cant read

[keen comet]

Thats good

[weak radish]

you need rbxlx files

its a bit annoying

It says somewhere they made it work for rbxl but it doesnt

[keen comet]

I swear its "worked" for me but now im not sure either

[weak radish]

it worked for me too but I had to convert to rbxlx

do anyone know where I can buy roblox source games

I want to buy some sources

[tardy pasture]

i got a tnf scource

[weak glacier]

who is scripter here ???

everyone is asking 🙏😭

[torpid arch]

anyone wanna try out my dc bot? i js need feedback

[copper turret]

What is tnf

[tardy pasture]

the northern frontier

search up yt

[copper turret]

U the game owner or just have the source only

[tardy pasture]

scource only

[copper turret]

Btw how much will u sell it

[tardy pasture]

game is no longer availble tough

[copper turret]

Oh

[tardy pasture]

check dms

[turbid star]

do you guys help with code

[exotic phoenix]

any idea why when I equip a roblox tool on runtime using code, the tools handle is offset to the original place it was derived from?, its not anchored

[violet grotto]

Im currently making my first game. i want to ask about the players data. How do most games handle updating/fixing data.

1. lets say there is a new update you want to add things to the data what do you do?
   do you simply check a default data table whenever a player loads and add any missing things?

2. What if there is a change you want to make to an item that a few people have lets say Item X. how do you fix it/ change it for everyone that has this Item X.

3. Lets say this new update affected the datastore and i want to revert everyones data to a previous time, 1 day before the update for example, is it possible?

a lot of us just use a datastore wrapper like profilestore that just handles it

[violet grotto]

Not sure what that is so ill look into it. Thanks 👍

[remote phoenix]

1. idk I know some libraries (I think ProfileStore included?) have some way to handle that built in
2. add update logic for Item X in the join function (so that when they rejoin, it's fixed)
3. idk

Guys who knows how to code well and would help me programer a game for rbx

[violet grotto]

Regarding point 2. would that mean that update logic for item X will have to be there forever so no one misses this change? so if down the line many things change the update logic will be full of "changes" right?

would it be right to just check everything in a players datastore instead of it being item specific

something like a module with all Items Data then on join the data script compares all items you currently have to that data and updates if necessary

[tardy pasture]

ur the typical guy we can trust default pfp asks in general mentiones no price

[pulsar pivot]

Where

[remote phoenix]

oh whoops, I wasn't fully thinking. I think you should be able to implement a system where you can modify data of all online and offline players

[exotic phoenix]

hows this

[remote phoenix]

can we ignore the modulescript lines? I assume you are using public libraries/frameworks

[exotic phoenix]

we cannot ignore the module script lines

I use profile service and thats abt it

I keep everything pretty modular

[subtle fractal]

pretty similar to mine

[exotic phoenix]

in terms of structure of code

[subtle fractal]

No OS modules yet

[exotic phoenix]

u write an OS for ur game

[exotic phoenix]

what typa game is u making bro 😭

[subtle fractal]

OS Modules are Open source modules

Like Profilestore by loleris

[exotic phoenix]

ohh

[subtle fractal]

Vetra by ve

[exotic phoenix]

I thought an operating system within ur game

[subtle fractal]

All these are by me

[exotic phoenix]

had me confused

[exotic phoenix]

looks good dawg

I am not at that level yet

[subtle fractal]

Thanks man

But trust me

Shared table replication will piss you off

But good thing i built a neat signal wrapper

[exotic phoenix]

can you elaborate what that means, like tables shared by client and server?

[subtle fractal]

Simplifies replication

[subtle fractal]

Yeah

On a shared modulescript

Tables share different memory between client and server

[exotic phoenix]

oh damn

[subtle fractal]

If i access this on client

it will be different than on server

So i have to make it that i send a signal to client each time its modified

so that yk

It creates a client sided copy

[exotic phoenix]

everytime? of every entry in the table?

that seems so expensive, especially considering you'll be sending it via signals

[subtle fractal]

Well not really its pretty cheap considering i send 1 signal only when the inventory is modified

[subtle fractal]

Oh nope

[exotic phoenix]

it's cheap based on the size of the inventory, I'm assuming u serialised it and ur not sending the instances right..?

[subtle fractal]

If there are 40 people in my game and each of them pick up an appe 40 signals are sent

[subtle fractal]

Nope, Im just sending string data, instances are server only

I live by server authoritative design so client doesnt modify inventory

It just reads the table

Lets say to display UI

You get me?

[exotic phoenix]

oh well using signals is also a good solution, I was gonna say that my approach was using displayed data that the client can access/read

[exotic phoenix]

yessir

[exotic phoenix]

the only way to do it dawg

the best way

[subtle fractal]

Yeah thats what im doing

Man I still have so much to learn in luau

[exotic phoenix]

well the way I did it in my game is I just have a configuration instance and the client reads off of it

the server modifies it

or like you I send the data via a signal

except I use.. remotes and bindable events

dont crucify me

[subtle fractal]

same

[exotic phoenix]

do u also do front end

[subtle fractal]

Personally i think luau is frontend + backend

Cant really say you dont do both

I find frontend much harder though

Lmao wanna see something

[exotic phoenix]

of course bro

[subtle fractal]

I have 4K Lines of code

But only this

[exotic phoenix]

I mean it depends on what you're doing, but personally I like backend more considering its data structuring and thats soo fun 🤤

[weak radish]

I mean you cant really only do front end

[faint magnet]

coders when without modellers:

[subtle fractal]

Im currently working on the frontend side

But still configuring state replication
