Pls

Pls

[coral field]

watch some tutorial on youtube practice make some small games

[signal narwhal]

Tyyyyyyyyyssssssmmmmm

Ok byeee

[glossy onyx]

so I wanna make a sort of mini game thing when the player is trying to not let this explode (this is a first person game) and I want the players head to sort of glide around while they are trying to do all the minigames on this. I need someone to make the minigames on this work, and I need someone to make the gliding animation. I have a mid amount of robux that I can pay you guys dm me if you are interested.

[coral field]

what even is the minigame

[glossy onyx]

ill tell you when u dm 🙂

[coral field]

i sent a dm

[oblique orbit]

what do u guys do after your done with tutorials

[glossy slate]

u make some stuff with what u learnt

[oblique orbit]

like what

btw do people ever use string library ?

[glossy slate]

some

[sterile sigil]

Yeah, mostly for just splitting, gsub, length and matching. I haven't personally used a lot of the other functions

But for string length you can also use #, not sure if there's a real up or downside to using either

[midnight tangle]

@rose raptor

[distant hamlet]

string.len is slower than #

#, is almost two times faster

[sterile sigil]

Huh, just checked and yeah you're right, never knew that

[halcyon nimbus]

looking for someone who can make me an icon for my game i can pay after the work dm me

[distant hamlet]

And mmo

No bandit beating

Kinda like tell dead

Or do u mean what’s my dev skill

[next shadow]

how do u guys handle exploiters spamming remotes on your game?

[wise turtle]

implement rate limits

[next shadow]

yeah but like how exactly. i already had a working system but like the way it works is that it listens to all remoteevennts and make another OnServerEvent for each one of them

and i keep thinking there should be a more efficient way

[shy bronze]

guys how i could i make a combat/swords like blox fruits with m1s and abilities? i dont want to play the animation on the server i want the animations/vfx to be on the client so it looks smoother but how can i detect animation events to create hitboxs + validate executing the move (stun, cooldown)

[wise turtle]

make all remote events go through ur rate limit and have that dispatch the connection

[next shadow]

that sounds a bit more messy than my current one ngl. considering some remotes are only for server > client so they wont have an OnServerEvent in the first place

[shy bronze]

@wise turtle can you help me in understanding how i could do something? code help is just pure rage bait

get out sezoo

[cosmic bloom]

i am trying to explain

you arent understanding

[shy bronze]

what you want?

[cosmic bloom]

bro cooldown

is the

simplest thingever

[shy bronze]

bro im not talking about some minor stuff

you dont even understand what i mean

[cosmic bloom]

youre asking how to make abilities

[wise turtle]

make all the remotes you need to ratelimit go through some middleware then

instead of all remotes in general

[shy bronze]

yes a non laggy and non exploitable one

[cosmic bloom]

wydm by exploitable you mean the damage becoming like 9999 by hackrs?

[shy bronze]

@wise turtle so can you help me?

[shy bronze]

no

[cosmic bloom]

what do you mean by exploitable

exactly

[shy bronze]

i want to play animations on the client and i still want to detect the animation events

[cosmic bloom]

do them in localscript 🙏 🙏 🙏

[shy bronze]

[cosmic bloom]

peak help

[wise turtle]

you can listen to an animation event played on the client on the server

you can also listen to an animation event played on another client on another client

[shy bronze]

for real?

[shy bronze]

damn

but

oh wait nvm

i think i got it

[strange umbra]

Guys Yk for images like index and etc in Ui how do ppl make the charchter not go low quality without viewportframes cuz they are always low quality

[shy bronze]

this is peak help i did not knew this, not use localscript

[random cedar]

On another by another?

[wise turtle]

you can bind to client A's animator on client B and listen to the events

[rose shoal]

are these all weld types in Studio?

[random cedar]

I didn’t know know you could do that

Is that for combat stuff?

[wise turtle]

typically for processing vfx

syncing vfx to the animation

[random cedar]

Oh okay

[quasi urchin]

GUYS is it a bad idea to promptproductpurchase prompt on the client? or should i be doing this on the server?

[hoary cedar]

Zero difference

Prompt from the client when possible, as this will eliminate latency in the actions that incite the prompt

[deep tree]

Hello guys i have a problem with my animation i mean how to use it on myself when i start the game ? Because i put in the localscript "Animate" the right Animations id but i still have the normal walk on me (i did my animation on blender). I published my animation on roblox for me because i have created the world for me not a group

[stiff pecan]

they r constraints

welds are WeldConstraint, Weld, ManualWeld, and Motor6D those join two parts rigidly together

[quasi urchin]

dude does purchase detection not work in team test and server vs client test?

[hoary cedar]

It does

[quasi urchin]

can i show you my purchasescript in dms?

[hoary cedar]

No

Send it here, lol

[random cedar]

Big ass script or you just didn’t wanna copy and paste

[quasi urchin]

no that is the whole purchase manager

[random cedar]

Gyatt

Free scripts lets go

[quasi urchin]

for some reason it doesn't work when i team test or do multiple client vs server script

[quasi urchin]

np

[hoary cedar]

You need way more structure

https://github.com/Ziffixture/Roblox/blob/main/MonetizationService.lua

[random cedar]

Bad boy

No robux for you

Bad coder

[quasi urchin]

oh no

[random cedar]

Does +2 quests stack infinitely

[quasi urchin]

nope

max 5

i know how to use validation, it's a gamepass

[random cedar]

[quasi urchin]

BRUHHH

YOUR SCRIPT IS 700 LINES

@hoary cedar well what is the bare bones fix to make it work for my script

[brazen dune]

yo chat how do i set the private servers to cost robux i cant find it

is it in configure this this place or configure this experience

[keen comet]

Experience

[empty lake]

anyone know a good way to learn lua for roblox studio development

[brazen dune]

yk which one like tab

[frail geode]

just use ai and read what it says

[keen comet]

Let me check rq

[frail geode]

a good ai tho

[brazen dune]

appreciate it bro

[empty lake]

dont wanna use ai

[frail geode]

then hire someone to teach u or use good old youtube tutoroials

itll take a long time tho

[empty lake]

im a fast learneer

do u got good yt playlists?

covering all of the basics and advanced stuff at once

[brazen dune]

were u able to find it too or nahhh

[jovial moat]

These are physics constraints, not welds.

[frail geode]

find audience then access settings and scroll down

[frail geode]

theres a lot of yters

[empty lake]

thedevking?

is he good

[frail geode]

id recommend thedevking

yea

[empty lake]

ty ty

ill get on it rn

[frail geode]

gl

[jovial moat]

The way I learned was by doing a ton of experimentation. To be honest I would just edit free models and learned cause and effect for things, but I would probably instead recommend that you follow tutorials. However, don't follow the tutorials one-to-one, messing around with things as you go along to see, again, cause and effect.

[frail geode]

preach

[jovial moat]

People will tell you to use AI but that doesn't actually teach you, it just gives answers to what you want

[brazen dune]

appreciate it bro ty tytytyty

[frail geode]

np

[empty lake]

i think ill stick to thedevking and then do that and apply & practice what I learned

[frail geode]

no it depends really

if you copy paste then you dont learn

but if you pick apart the code see how it works

then you learn

[static coral]

use brawldev instead i used devking and can say his explanations are ass

[frail geode]

could even try to rewrite it after understanding

[empty lake]

it depends on the person's capacity of understanding things. honestly you're right but I think ill stick to thedevking because I sometimes find my own explanation to some things and they come out to be correct.

[keen comet]

Yeah but it seems im late now

[static coral]

his explanations are very simple yes but they are simple to the point of being vague and not to mention some of his videos are very outdated

trust me you are better off teaching yourself than using his tutorials

[empty lake]

oh then maybe ill use brawldev's tutorials

[keen comet]

lowkey just only read the docs

[empty lake]

thanks for the advice tho

[static coral]

also use the docs and luau.org

[static coral]

ye that can help but may be confusing for complete beginners

i didnt understand that shi at all when i started 💔💔💔

[empty lake]

anyone can give me the docs?

[keen comet]

twin

[static coral]

create.roblox.com

[keen comet]

https://create.roblox.com/docs

[static coral]

and luau.org

[empty lake]

i already have knowledge in other programming languages so the docs may be helpful

[static coral]

ye i was just about to say

i see u got C++ tag so then it should be simpler

[frail geode]

lua is so easy compared to c++

[empty lake]

nooot really but still basic things are understandable and self explainatory

[frail geode]

u should be chilling actually

[empty lake]

lua is more similar to python

[static coral]

yes

[frail geode]

just need to be familiar with roblox api

and like

[empty lake]

true

[static coral]

its higher level

[frail geode]

cframe and other properties

[static coral]

do u know how dictionaries/hashmaps work

[static coral]

@empty lake

[empty lake]

wait

something like this?

this is python

and then u do this

[static coral]

what im trying to say is if u know how those work u already know 50% of how roblox apis work

every field is a string

[empty lake]

ohhh

[static coral]

not memory offset like in c++

[empty lake]

great then

[static coral]

so for example

also

the “dictionaries” in lua/luau are called tables

but they can also function as arrays

they can also be combined but its not recommended

not sure if python allows that

[empty lake]

ill just start documenting myself a little on these things rn

[static coral]

also common data structures like classes or enums or structs dont officially exist you need to recreate them with tables

tables are op

[empty lake]

ohh

[static coral]

you can do operator overloads with them as well but dont stress about that rn

and then for accessing table fields you do
table.field
or
table[“field”]

both are basically the same but if you have a string key literal with a space in it you need to use the latter, like:

table[“spaces in key”]

[empty lake]

got it

[static coral]

and also lua has something called “userdata” which is just classes defined in c++ or internally but idrk too well but they work similiarly to tables

you can create your own but you cant really do much with them

because all you can do is attach a metatable to them and so custom behaviour as well

but they cant directly store any data

but dw too much about it they only have like 1 or 2 really niche use cases

you can just use tables

also do u know any typescript

[empty lake]

im so lost rn i think ill just start documenting myself from the beginning all the way to the top

my head's a mess

[static coral]

also forgot to mention, table fields/keys dont just have to be strings

they can literally be anything

[empty lake]

great

[static coral]

@empty lake ?

[empty lake]

like javascript?

[static coral]

no

typescript

but nvm if u dont

luau’s types system is heavily inspired by that of typescript’s

[dense iris]

anyone got a macro to transfer data from an old game to a new one

[static coral]

dont think that is possible unless u do it manually

[icy heron]

don't learn typescript it'll drag you into the abyss

[empty lake]

ggs

[static coral]

or if you are using external database

[dense iris]

p sure i will be

[static coral]

no i mean the game with the data u wanna transfer already needs to be using one

[dense iris]

but iuts over 600 profile services

[static coral]

if not u gotta do it manually

[static coral]

what

[dense iris]

like

already using external storages

i js dont have a macro

[frail geode]

theres no way u genuinely need that much wtf

[dense iris]

its around there

maybe 400

[frail geode]

god😭

[static coral]

just use the same code to retrieve it you are already using in the old game?

[frail geode]

have fun

[novel finch]

guys wtf pls help

[static coral]

use player.CharacterAdded

[solemn mason]

I'm guessing Character isn't created yet

[solemn mason]

Just do local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

[novel finch]

oh yeah I forogt to add the :Wait()

tysm bro

works all fine thanks guys

[solemn mason]

or

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
  player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
      -- code
  end)
end)

Ye I think this version is better

[novel finch]

yeha ill use this characterAdded:wait or player.chaarcter is worse looking imo

ty bro

[solemn mason]

no problem. Next time use the #code-help channel.

[novel finch]

yeah no I looked and realized I accidentally wrote in this channel and was gonna delete and write in #code-help but u were already helping me so I saw no point

Six sevenn

[marsh ether]

does anyone know how to make a discord bot be online 24/7 while slash commands actually working?

[remote phoenix]

it has to be on a 24/7 computer. usually people will buy a VPS (basically a computer in some room that a company owns) that is designed to be online 24/7, these cost usually around $5 a month

[marsh ether]

thanks for the info

[rose raptor]

what

[random cedar]

Yeah, just code it like noraml

Normal

I host two of my bots on my pc

I do node index.js for one of them

[marsh ether]

thing is, im not active as much

[random cedar]

My pc stays on 24/7 sometimes I go days without touching it

[marsh ether]

ah, i thought that was for websites

[marsh ether]

oh.

[random cedar]

Just dust it and you’ll be fine tbh

It’s not the 90’s

[marsh ether]

i mean

what if it overheats

[random cedar]

What is your pc doing that it’d overheat while idling

Rendering a model maybe

Anything else no

[marsh ether]

nothing

but its 8gb ddr5 lmao

[random cedar]

Brother

[marsh ether]

(ram) ^

[random cedar]

I feel for you

[stable jacinth]

code help is useless they just talking bout random stuff so ill ask here.
how would i make a tower defense unit data store (needs to store individual unit data/person like traits stat rolls etc) idk how id set it up in the datastore n stuff cuz im too sped for this stuff

[keen comet]

This channel is just as useless

[stable jacinth]

yea i figured

hidden devs fall off is crazy

wheres the help when a poor sped dev needs it

how am i gonna make my tower defense slop without it

[keen comet]

no more tower defense slop

[stable jacinth]

i want my bag

more tower defense slop

i need nagblox to fund my dedications

[frail plaza]

just have a table in your datastore for each unit

or i mean

here's the structure

OwnedUnits = {
[UnitID] = {Stats go here}
}

[stable jacinth]

would i need like a uuid system to seperate each players individual unit stats or am i overcomplicating it way to much

[frail plaza]

you can get a unit id with a uuid

[stable jacinth]

ok

[frail plaza]

guuid

using httpssERVICE

httpsService

[stable jacinth]

aight

would i have to make a new datastore seperate from the player data store?

cuz idk why thats always what i think when it comes to this

but idk where im pulling this info from

[frail plaza]

no

just keep it in the player's datastore

[stable jacinth]

return {

Gems = 500,
Gold = 0,
Level = 1,
Exp = 0,

UnitInventory = {},

}

so it would be ur thing in the unitinventory

[frail plaza]

if you want, i can show you how i setup a datastore for my units

[stable jacinth]

that might help me visualise it a lil better

i keep going in circles with the way im tryna figure it out

[frail plaza]

k

here's my default data

lemme show my unit setup here one sec

[stable jacinth]

would it be the same for a relic/armor system

cuz im an idiot i decided id make a complicated td with character building cuz ofc i would

so imma need to store like a bunch of things 😭

[frail plaza]

the units are stored based on an ID

a guuid typicaly

[stable jacinth]

whats the difference between uuid and guuid

or are they the same thing basically

[frail plaza]

this is what the data looks like

the ID is the key btw

btw just use GUID, it's litteraly impossible to generate a duplicate

[stable jacinth]

so for mine for an example itd be similar to urs but id have like armor and the armor would also have a GUID?

if the armor/relics can have diff stats

[frail plaza]

see here

this is a guid

[stable jacinth]

i suck at understanding the data store stuff man its too much

[frail plaza]

stored here

[stable jacinth]

is that stored out of roblox servers??

[frail plaza]

that's stored via datastoer

[stable jacinth]

ahh

[frail plaza]

but i'm using profilestore cus its better

[stable jacinth]

yea same

cuz its easier and i cannot for the life of me do datastore

so is the httpservice guid a built in thing then

not something id have to find

[frail plaza]

yeah

httpsService lets you generate a guid

it's in roblox api by default

[stable jacinth]

this is still prolly gonna take me forever to figure out fully ;sob

thanks for the show tho

[frail plaza]

i mean, honestly

datastore isn't hard

as long as you have a good understanding of tables

[stable jacinth]

i just overcomplicated things for myself

[frail plaza]

and loading data

[stable jacinth]

data is where i struggle

[frail plaza]

usualy with datastores you got

[stable jacinth]

tables im kinda alright

[frail plaza]

you store the data and all relevant info

and then when the player joins

you make sure everything accomodates for that data

such as giving the player the units

and stuff

just updating everything to reflect the stored data

[stable jacinth]

k

ty

ill try and apply ts to my shitty setup rn

[midnight tangle]

can i not use elseif twice?

[coral field]

you have an extra end

[polar cliff]

nvm this laggy give me a sec

[midnight tangle]

no i got it

the problem was that i used elseif already

[polar cliff]

1 or 2 audio wise

[coral field]

you can use elseif more than once

[coral field]

1 because in no. 2 the audio just cuts out also where do you make the sfx?

[polar cliff]

capcut

[midnight tangle]

i feel like the arms are too much 😭

like theres too many

maybe it looks better from other angles

[polar cliff]

it looks better from angles

[midnight tangle]

ohh

[midnight tangle]

yeah but the second one would sound better in a combo no?

[dense drift]

what do i need to add to a script when i want it to telaport the player when its clicked on?

[ornate needle]

anyone able of making sum like this?

[dense drift]

for a war game?

[dense drift]

you made this or preview from some1 else?

[ornate needle]

someone else

[vernal trout]

hi

[midnight tangle]

im having this issue where the animation doesnt stop

[dense drift]

do a break in it

[midnight tangle]

wdym

its supposed to stop when i let go, you can tell when the sound stops playing

[dense drift]

make it so when the item or thing does a certain amount of damage its sstops the animation

[midnight tangle]

no thats not what i want

it doesnt stop when i stop holding

it used to work idk what I did

[dense drift]

try using it so when the game or script detects ur not holding it triggers the animation to stop

[random cedar]

Then make a detector

If not holding stop animation or some shit

[random cedar]

You’re the next einstein mate

[tight lichen]

do u want some help?

[midnight tangle]

yes please

just send it

im more curious now..

Genius

[round granite]

i saw an ECS know as Matter, can u guys tell me what u think about it

[knotty glacier]

Please please use raycasting for hit boxes.

[jovial moat]

The animation is likely looped. Just turn off Looped and republish the animation.

[wise turtle]

its mid

simply because it is old and unmaintained, so it is lacking compared to more modern ecs like jecs

if you're new to ecs i think the matter docs are way more helpful for understanding the concept than the documentation of other ecs libraries though

[stable verge]

Ai

[remote phoenix]

clicked on? is this for a UI element or a physical button

[dense drift]

physical

[remote phoenix]

it needs a ClickDetector

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

and inside of the ClickDetector, is where your script should be

[dense drift]

no stop typing

i finished a long time ago

[remote phoenix]

maybe start with that bro 😭

[dense drift]

lol my bad

but do you know how to get rid of an plugin that changes the look of studs when u allready "deleted the plugin"

[remote phoenix]

plugins just execute code, you need to delete whatever it added

[trail pivot]

How long did it take u guys to fully learn scripting?

[remote phoenix]

the look of studs is usually done either via a texture/decal, or the part's Material property

[dense drift]

will

[stable verge]

U never fully learn scripting lol. But took me about 6 months to get the hang of it

[woeful storm]

How did you guys learn to script?

Bruh, I know how to do build but I want to learn scripting now.

[remote phoenix]

just remake the part

[dense drift]

the baseplate? whenever i make a stud it looks the same

[remote phoenix]

huh

restart studio or something

[hardy junco]

Is someone willing to help me on this little code? it's from a tutorial and i'm trying to tweak it a little but i'm doing something wrong

[hoary cedar]

Sure

[hardy junco]

local touchPart = game.Workspace.TouchPart

local partIsTouched = false

touchPart.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
if partIsTouched == false then
partIsTouched = true
print(otherPart.Name)

    task.wait(2)
    partIsTouched = false 
    end

end)

this is what I have rn, idk which part I should change so it will change color based on when it's touched

[hoary cedar]

You want the part's color to change when it's touched?

[hardy junco]

yes

[hoary cedar]

To what?

[hardy junco]

i can do the color and stuff myself I just don't know how to write a script that allows it to change to that

[hoary cedar]

local Part = workspace.TouchPart


local function onPartTouched()
    Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
end


Part.Touched:Once(onPartTouched)

[hardy junco]

hm

ohhh

I should've just rewritten a whole other function rather than trying to add it into my current one

[hoary cedar]

local touchPart = game.Workspace.TouchPart

local partIsTouched = false

touchPart.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
    if partIsTouched == false then
        partIsTouched = true
        print(otherPart.Name)

        touchPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()

        task.wait(2)
        partIsTouched = false 
    end
end)

All of that code was simply unnecessary

[hardy junco]

this is where I start to get confused

[hardy junco]

ah

learning is quite hard

[hoary cedar]

What's confusing you?

[hardy junco]

just trying to memorize everything

like all the words i need to make certain things work

[remote phoenix]

you'll memorize it over time no worries bro

[hoary cedar]

Do not focus on memorizing. Focus on understanding

Software development is not about writing scripts you've seen

[hardy junco]

How many weeks until you think I could develop a simple game by myself?

or rather

how many weeks do you think it would take

like a button simulator

[hoary cedar]

What does that look like for you?

[hardy junco]

A simple game with buttons on the ground with rebirths, cash, and a few simple gamepasses

kind of like a passion project or a progress check of sorts

[hoary cedar]

Get up to events, then start: #dev-discussion message

You could start as early as a couple weeks, but it would not be production ready

[primal lava]

Hey so im kinda new to scripting like my best things ive made are a plot system, somewhat working round and intermission system, and a m1 system like hitbox spawns and if the other player is touched it hurts them, im just confused on how to get better and be able to make full games instead of systems, anyone can help?

[hardy junco]

from what i've heard so far do comissions to hone your skills mostly

[remote phoenix]

a button simulator is really easy to make, you could make it anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on what you add, but creating just a few buttons that change player stats is like only a few lines of code

[hoary cedar]

The nuance comes with anti exploitation and replication

[hardy junco]

oo okay good to know

[primal lava]

but i dont have a portfolio and like i feel like i wont get hired because of my lack of projects

if i make a portfolio with 3 - 4 things could that get me hired?

[hoary cedar]

I recently assisted a user on a very similar project with the same experience as you, @hardy junco. They had several issues

But they had something nonetheless

[hardy junco]

oo good to know

how long have u been a scripter?

[hoary cedar]

I started learning to script on Roblox in 2014

[hardy junco]

12 years 🙏

have you made a job from coding?

[hoary cedar]

Yes. Roblox is currently my full-time job

[hardy junco]

did you go to college?

[hoary cedar]

No. I am self taught

[hardy junco]

wow

impressive

[primal lava]

@hardy junco where can i find commissions, like all the ones in this server are for like tens of thousands of rbx or hundreds of dollars and i cant do those

[hardy junco]

roblox dev forum

[primal lava]

okay

[hardy junco]

the like creator hub thingy

[primal lava]

do you have a recommendation for a portfolio website to use?

[hardy junco]

I'm brand new unfortunately

[primal lava]

to what?

[hardy junco]

development

[primal lava]

oh

ok

[tame ibex]

yep roblox is my fulltime job too

https://tenor.com/view/suit-and-tie-stewie-gif-27420656

[hardy junco]

what games have u contributed to

[tame ibex]

cant say

[primal lava]

where are the commissions page on the dev form??

[hardy junco]

[hardy junco]

idk if its called the forum or not but its like some sort of marketplace to hire ppl

i forgot the name of it

[midnight tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/gohine-hohino-no-hohineee-gohineee-gif-17792172174678204487

[hoary cedar]

Roblox's official marketplace is called the Talent Hub

[hardy junco]

yes that thing

[hardy junco]

so FindFirstChild is just like a precaution so theres not an error message?

wouldn't you want the error message

[hoary cedar]

#code-help message

You may need to filter through assets that may not have a certain resource. You cannot let your program crash if an asset does not have that resource

You can send a warning message to the console via warn if need be

[hardy junco]

ohhhh

thank you I see

it's so it doesn't crash if it keeps repeating?

[hoary cedar]

What do you mean by repeating?

[hardy junco]

if it keeps repeating an action it shouldn't be because the child isn't there

kinda like that? or did I interpret it wrong

[hoary cedar]

Code does not repeat an action unless you design it to

[tame rose]

FindFirstChild loops through the object once to find what your tryma find lol

if it doesnt exist, it gets ignored

[primal lava]

https://giphy.com/gifs/writing-write-blackbeard-IFaUfRBSV6rWeGFSye

[hardy junco]

okay ty for the help

[tame rose]

took me a few weeks to get the hang of it but maybe cus i knew js and web dev before that lol

[hardy junco]

why does my roblox character have ragdoll when I reset??

[tame rose]

this ziffix guy is typing an essay

[hoary cedar]

local function onLivingPlayerTouched(otherPart: BasePart)
    local character = otherPart.Parent

    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
    if not humanoid or humanoid.Health == 0 then
        return
    end

    local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
    if not player then
        return
    end

    -- Do something.
end

In games, we often want to know when players collide with physical objects. BasePart.Touched is an event in Roblox that fires when two physical objects collide. A player's character is made up of physical objects, mostly in the form of limbs. These limbs are far from the only physical things in the game, so we must filter out the noise.

We can determine when a player collides with a physical object by seeing if a Humanoid exists as a sibling to the limb. If we can find one, we confirm the player is alive, then further ensure they're not an entity or NPC by cross-referencing the character with known player characters.

As you can see, the data we may receive could have varying shapes, and so as not to cause a program crash, we must safely probe the nature of the data

[tame rose]

maybe a game implemented it, i also heard roblox wants to implement ragdoll on reset instead of the classic blocky death :/

[hardy junco]

its in studio

would that not mess up all roblox gamess WITH actual ragdoll or no?

[tame rose]

roblox implemented it in studio then 😭

[tame rose]

idk never used custom ragdoll myself

[hardy junco]

so this script is basically to tell the difference of a player and an npc

[hoary cedar]

To tell the difference from anything that isn't a player

A tumbleweed could set off the physics collision

[hardy junco]

okay good to know good to know

[tame rose]

yes otherPart is a parameter and it will be the other part touched etc im guesing u know this right

[ashen gate]

does anyone know why my network recieve is spiking hella high when i stand still but send is fine

[tame rose]

if not we can help

[hardy junco]

yes

im trying to not make my brain explode as im learning all this

i'm watcxhing BrawlDev's tutorial to kinda teach me the basics and its pretty helpful I just don't like directly copying the scripts because it doesn't help me learn as much

[hoary cedar]

Learning how to script with the Roblox engine is a lot easier when you understand the software engineering concepts

[ashen gate]

does anyone know why my network recieve is spiking hella high when i stand still but send is fine

[hoary cedar]

Learn how to code with Lua before Roblox

[hardy junco]

now how do i do that

[tame rose]

is it a specific game or have you tried checking if its normal in other games

[hoary cedar]

Read the Lua 5.1 manual, watch a Lua tutorial, read Roblox's intro to scripting

Lua isn't Roblox's language. It's something you can learn outside of the engine

[hardy junco]

i do know that

[tame rose]

i watched youtube tutorials and found it easy (now its outdated ofcourse)

maybe check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX0Kw_txrIY

[ashen gate]

its in my game thats why im saying

[tame rose]

just watch throw it

[ashen gate]

😭 when someone stands still in my game the network recieve spikes hella high

[tame rose]

the server is sending too much data maybe

[ashen gate]

ive been debugging for 4 hours idk what it is

[ashen gate]

idk

[hardy junco]

make a script in ServerScriptService

type in

Lag = none

and it shouldf ix it

[ashen gate]

thanks for the fix bro

[hardy junco]

ofc

[tame rose]

if only that worked

[hardy junco]

graphics = good
lag = none
anticheat = yes
game = work

i saw that on tiktopk

[ashen gate]

game work sometimes

[hardy junco]

updates = preplanned

[ashen gate]

fps = yes

[hardy junco]

no

[tame rose]

maybe u have a script that constantly sends updates or something in your workspace is causing it

want me to join studio and see?

@ashen gate

[hardy junco]

Ziffix

local baseplate = game.Workspace.Baseplate

while true do
wait(1)
baseplate.Color = Color3.new(math.random(1, 255), math.random(1, 255), math.random(1, 255))
end

this would be good for a rainbow thing right?

or is there a simpler way

[hoary cedar]

1. game.Workspace is redundant. An environment variable called workspace exists as a shortcut
2. wait has been deprecated for nearly 5 years. Use task.wait
3. math.random has an overload where a lower bound of 1 is implied. math.random(255) is equivalent
4. Use BrickColor.random
5. This randomizes colour. It does not create a rainbow

[tame rose]

yes

[hardy junco]

Whats the difference between wait and task.wait

[tame rose]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3fgWrbRyM4

check it out yourself

in summary, task.wait is the newer version of wait as wait has been deprecated (discontinued)

[hardy junco]

i'd rather just start using task.wait than watch that

[tame rose]

yes

it just shows differences

[hoary cedar]

Oh, and Color3.new takes in a normalized RGB value. This is a value from 0-1 representing a percentage of 0-255. You're providing it with a [1, 255] range, which excludes black. Use [0, 255]. Use Color3.fromRGB when using a non-normalized range

@hardy junco

[tame rose]

yes

[hardy junco]

you know very much wow

[tame rose]

its common knowledge

[hardy junco]

yo chill 🙏

[hoary cedar]

wait throttles at 30hz. task.wait ties into simulation/frame rate, which enables greater precision

[tame rose]

try hard 😭 ✌️

[hardy junco]

so task.wait means someone with a higher fps has an advantage

[tame rose]

its not tied to frame rate actually

it uses roblox’s task scheduler

so its more accurate than wait

[hardy junco]

ah makes sense

[hoary cedar]

wait and task.wait don't actually wait for the specified amount of time. Threads can only resume based on the hz of the pipeline they're connected to. Since wait throttles at 30hz, you'll have an imprecision of 1/30 or 0.033 seconds. Since task.wait does not throttle, a higher frame rate on the client can improve the accuracy at which you wait, down to an imprecision of 1/240 or 0.0042 seconds as per Roblox's FPS settings. wait and task.wait both return the actual amount of seconds waited, which can be used as a scale factor to standardize physics

[hardy junco]

why is his explanation funnier than yours
#getexplainmogged

[hoary cedar]

This scale factor is commonly labelled "deltaTime"

If we move an object every frame at a specified speed, we must scale that speed to keep it relative to time:

part.Position += part.CFrame.LookVector * VELOCITY * deltaTime

If the user lags, the time between frames increases, making deltaTime scale VELOCITY up to compensate. The part will appear where should have in that time spent lagging. If the time between frames decreases, deltaTime scales VELOCITY down to compensate

[hardy junco]

so its useful in like racing games?

[tame rose]

wait does not run at a fixed 30Hz anymore, both wait() and task.wait() are handled by the task scheduler. behavior depends on engine load, not a fixed tick cap. a 1/30 accuracy is not reliable anymore... also, fps doesnt improve task.wait() precision. it runs on roblox’s server/client scheduler and not on the render frame rate. fps is just how often the screen draws

[hardy junco]

using wait would make it unfair, you'd fall behind

using task.wait would allow u to be where u were

[hoary cedar]

In every physics simulation

[hoary cedar]

FPS does increase the accuracy of task.wait

It's tied into RunService.Heartbeat/PostSimulation

[ripe imp]

yo does anyone know how to unfavorite games that are deleted? the ones that give 404 page not found

[hoary cedar]

https://gyazo.com/0722a5e5b868c00a8993f4b00b244063

[tame rose]

damn

seeing it change here now starts to make sense

thanks

i learnt something today

[hardy junco]

im so glad undo exists

i just deleted my whole game almost

well its just the baseplate i've been using to learn

but

[lime gyro]

why the heck all commissions are long term ASK FOR A SIMPLE TASK GODDAMNIT

[winged ruin]

Hey! How much is a good pay to have someone make voxel destruction ?? Something I wanna do in the future if I can’t do it myself

[wide cargo]

Why not take a long term one but ask for per task payment?

[lime gyro]

Long term ask for stuff that include data saving

that's straight up my weakness

[hoary cedar]

You mean voxel?

[winged ruin]

Oh my bad yeah, thank for that i didn’t notice

[hardy junco]

So i've finished all the stuff and started making the buttom game, can you explain how to make multipliers and stuff?

I still have a lot to learn

[hoary cedar]

What kind of multipliers?

[hardy junco]

for example you step on a button, then the button gives a multiplier to the cash

this is what i have rn for leaderstats

idk if i should do it differently

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player

local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
cash.Name = "Cash"
cash.Value = 0
cash.Parent = leaderstats

while true do 
    task.wait(1)
    cash.Value = cash.Value + 1
end

end)

oh wait I should probably make a datasstore thing huh

[hoary cedar]

#code-help message

1. Your parenting order is wrong. Prefabricate instead anyways
2. Your loop creates a memory leak. Players can disconnect from the server, and in turn, the server should stop processes related to the player

There are a few ways you can represent the multiplier, but at your stage, I would recommend creating another leaderstat, or creating a separate data folder under the player where it can be stored

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")

    local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
    cash.Name = "Cash"
    cash.Parent = leaderstats

    local multiplier = Instance.new("IntValue")
    multiplier.Name = "Multiplier"
    multiplier.Value = 1
    multiplier.Parent = leaderstats

    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = player

    while player.Parent do 
        task.wait(1)

        cash.Value += 1 * mutliplier.Value
    end
end)

[hardy junco]

alright thank you

[near sonnet]

guys be honest do u think a fully functioning custom inventory with dataSave and auto updating UI is enough for a portfolio?

[median tree]

if they are making a full game they not gonna comm you to only make 1 system 💀

[solemn mason]

yo, when do you guys usually use :WaitForChild() and when do you usually use :FindFirstChild()?

[grand tiger]

:WaitForChild() if your not sure that object has fully loaded yet, :FindFirstChild() when your very sure that object is loaded

like when u first join a game, it takes time for shit to load, and if your script loads before the object :FindFirstChild() will error

[solemn mason]

ok i understand it now.

[gritty grove]

You can put it in your port but it’s not a full port

[near sonnet]

yeah ofc but is it like project showcase worthy

[gritty grove]

If it’s working and not trash js put it on there

[near sonnet]

the ui is kinda trash

cuz im trash at UI

like it doesnt look that good

[gritty grove]

Ts Fine

Just get ai to make ui or smth

[near sonnet]

alr

Selling td framework

Selling tower defense framework

[remote bear]

Am i converting the camera to mesh local space properly? i am trying to test an octree ray system in my engine. For it i am taking the camera position and rotation and turning it into a mesh local equivalent. I think this is where i have been experiencing bugs since i cant find any issues with the code i was referencing.

[thick ether]

We don't do selling here anym

[grand tiger]

how do u even sell frameworks cant ppl just pirate it or some shit

[sinful bay]

Pirate it?

[grand tiger]

like someone buys your framework then just gives it to someone and eventually itll spread or some shit

[formal jay]

yeah ive always wondered how people protect their systems

[tight lichen]

ig a contract but thats probably super od'ing it depending on how like in depth the framework is

[hardy junco]

usually they sell multiple copies and you build your own idea off of it

edit the framework, etc

[rotund mulch]

anyone know how i can remove the need for global variables in this shit ```#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>

DWORD ret_address{};
void (__stdcall *GlDepthFunc)(unsigned int) = NULL;

auto cave() -> void;

auto injected_thread() -> void{

HMODULE openGL = NULL; 
    do {
        openGL = GetModuleHandle(L"opengl32.dll"); 
        Sleep(100);
    } while (openGL == NULL); 
    GlDepthFunc = (void(__stdcall*)(unsigned int))GetProcAddress(openGL, "glDepthFunc"); 
    HANDLE glDrawElements = GetProcAddress(openGL, "glDrawElements"); 
    unsigned char* hook_location = (unsigned char*)((DWORD)glDrawElements + 0x16);  
    ret_address = (DWORD)(hook_location + 0x6); 
    DWORD old_proc; 
    VirtualProtect(hook_location, 6, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, &old_proc);  
    *hook_location = 0xE9; 
    *((DWORD*)(hook_location + 1)) = (DWORD)(&cave) - (DWORD)((unsigned char*)(hook_location + 5)); 
    *(hook_location + 5) = 0x90;  

}
auto __declspec(naked) cave() -> void{

__asm {

    pushad
}
(*GlDepthFunc)(0x207); 

__asm { 
     popad
     mov esi, dword ptr ds : [esi + 0xA18] 

     push ret_address
     ret
}

}

auto WINAPI DllMain(HINSTANCE hinstDLL, DWORD fdwReason, LPVOID lpvReserved) -> BOOL {
if (fdwReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
{
CreateThread(NULL, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)injected_thread, NULL, 0, 0);

}

return true;

}```

[grand tiger]

yeah, i think its best to have some kind of terms and service with ur product

[midnight tangle]

is there a way to wait without stopping the flow of the loop

[formal jay]

task.spawn

[midnight tangle]

so i gotta do allat just to make one command wait .2 seconds more than the others?

[next geyser]

task.delay(0.2, function) is simpler if you just need a delay

[grand tiger]

yes

[formal jay]

show your code

[midnight tangle]

it works now it just legit just 3 lines

🙁

[slow drift]

hes in rodevs and this

[midnight tangle]

bro u do not need 6 studio servers😭

just come here get flamed for like 2 mins and they give you the answer to ur problem

[slow drift]

I use them to hire people

[midnight tangle]

hire me

find me a dev that can make you this amazing model bro

with the worst code ever

exactlyy

[slow drift]

task.spawn(function() --this is garbage, this immediately makes a new thread and then task.waits
task.wait(1)
end)

task.defer(function() --this is better, this makes a thread after stuff is ready(very simplified) and then task.waits
task.wait(1)
end)

task.delay(1, function() --this is the best, this makes a thread after stuff is ready and 1 second has elapsed
end)

[midnight tangle]

okay let me try

waitt u cooked

and its like better perfomances?

[grand tiger]

whats the actual difference between task.spawn and task.defer

[slow drift]

task.defer waits untill the end of the current execution frame

[hollow turtle]

one of them is called task.spawn and one of them is called task.defer, hope this helps 😄

[grand tiger]

ohh alr ty

[grand tiger]

thanks this help alot 😄 your really smart

[random pelican]

when programming a system like stamina, is it better to just run a universal loop on the server that updates everyone's stamina or individual loops per player for their stamina

[next geyser]

this tuff bro

[midnight summit]

[next geyser]

universal

[slow drift]

whats a networking server and why should I care

[next geyser]

but if you need per-player control without touching the others then individual

[slow drift]

you have made me curious tho
why do you think I should be in networking servers

[grand tiger]

and what the fuck is a networking server

[midnight summit]

you need connections

connections lead to more jobs

you find connections by networking

many invite only servers offer that

[slow drift]

I dont work for other people

im a game producer

[midnight summit]

it also lets you find people to hire

genuinely if you are talented please show off ur talent

[dense spade]

[midnight summit]

all public dev discords suck ass

you gotta get in an invite only one

those r the only servers worth ur time

[rose raptor]

this server has its moments

theres very talented and competent people in here

[midnight summit]

this server is ego battles and ragebait

[rose raptor]

just many more that are not serious or just clueless

[rose raptor]

yeah

its a lot of ragebait

[dense spade]

its like finding diamonds in a pile of trash

[rose raptor]

thats really just how social media is

people are much more comfortable acting a damn fool online

[midnight summit]

dude u legit just said ccu doesn’t matter

😭

[rose raptor]

i hope to God these people don't act like this in real life

[dense spade]

its not the biggest thing in the world tho

[rose raptor]

or they genuinely have no friends

[dense spade]

no ccu,life still goes on

[midnight summit]

yes it is

[rose raptor]

its subjective

[dense spade]

there are other ways to earn money bro

[rose raptor]

this right here is the problem man ppl argue over opinions

[midnight summit]

if your doing roblox as a hobby your wasting time

[rose raptor]

i think its fun

[dense spade]

alright imma stop

[midnight summit]

hobby projects r for steam since that’s where they actually sell

[rose raptor]

i just enjoy developing and creating things

[dense spade]

every hobby is wasting time

[rose raptor]

not everyone has the same goals

[dense spade]

no one is going hiking to earn money

[rose raptor]

you are your own person, i am my own, and so on

[midnight summit]

roblox is for simple quick dopamine incrementals and stupid shit you play with friends

[midnight summit]

Anything but releasing a game

[rose raptor]

anything but studying my notes for my exam this week

[dense spade]

procrastination maxxing

[rose raptor]

yeah i never do shit on the weekends

linear algebra and then discrete math

[midnight tangle]

I just got off😭 mb for the ping king

[rose raptor]

you good

[dense spade]

sounds complex,might wanna avoid procrastinating on that

[midnight tangle]

I was just tryna make my stand walk with me and then all my scripts stopped working for some reason

So i just got off and didnt save

[rose raptor]

yeah def shouldnt be, especially since finals are in like 3 weeks

[midnight tangle]

And everything went back to normal

[rose raptor]

so ready for class to be over and to have a break

[midnight tangle]

I just lost the model i made in 10 minutes

[rose raptor]

ive done good on my other tests and i believe we get a drop so i'm not super worried

well linear i bombed my first test but did good on the other one

[rose raptor]

do you have autosave on?

this is just how all my classes feel at this point especially second semester

i feel like most people are just so burnt out by the end of that spring semester

just ready to get to summer and have a break

i do like math tho, just hate the actual learning process

[dense spade]

linear algebra is all matrices right?

[rose raptor]

yeah

its not bad just a good bit of rules and operations to memorize

it almost always boils down to row reducing a matrix in some way

good lord 6 is crazy

im in 5 rn and its been pretty rough

after this semester I can start getting into all my fun major focused courses though

so i think it'll get a lot easier

[tight lichen]

Yo

[dense spade]

Yo

[tight lichen]

oops

oh i can't send medal clips

[rose raptor]

yeah im having to play catch up with my gpa because I decided going out 4 days a week freshman year was a smart idea

so its made internships impossible to get right now and also put my scholarships on the line

yeah glad i got it out of the way tho

def still have my share of fun but I think i got most of it out of my system

yeah thats what really locked me in, was the realization that school is literally my future

if i throw this away i dont have many options

getting expelled is crazy lmao gotta be doing some stupid stuff

yeah def my path, im already 2 years down, dont wanna make this a waste and computer science is something I am very passionate about

gets a little scary at times realizing i'm gonna have a real job soon not some retail gig

typical discord interaction

[dense spade]

Ios 26 keyboard is so broken

i feel like im deleting more than actually typing

Siri vibe coded it 😂

[rose raptor]

siri has somehow devolved since release

very weird how apple is usually pretty innovative but has just done jack shit with siri

[dense spade]

AI=Apple Incompetence

Its like they dont know how AI works

[rose raptor]

yeah, im not super worried just kinda scary to you know be an actual adult

feel like life after college is just so vastly different

[rose raptor]

or they've cooked up some crazy ass siri thats gonna change the world

only two options

[dense spade]

ill bet on siri being shit cuz they are just bad

steve jobs was the innovation,not the company

[rose raptor]

yeah i think apple has sort of realized they dont need to innovate anymore

which honestly not sure what more you can innovate on phones

i think what we have right now is basically perfect and anything else would just raise the cost without providing value to the average user

[dense spade]

they should let pc games run on phones,kinda like how Macbook neo uses iphone chip and is able to play pc gams

they should work with game companies to port more games to apple

literally alot they can do

[rose raptor]

think the big issue with this is lack of active cooling on most phones

and with iphones specifically the architecture is relatively new

so it isnt supported by a pretty wide range of games

idk about new

[dense spade]

but it can still be a great device to play less intensive games tho?

[rose raptor]

yeah apple vision was rough
