[graceful valley]

Are there any plans to remove the Github requirement?

[regal salmon]

not as far as i know

[graceful valley]

Or an alternative way to apply.

😢

[regal salmon]

nope

why is github a problem?

[graceful valley]

It's not an issue I just don't use it, if I just chucked a bunch of my work on there is that good enough?

[regal salmon]

what are you applying for?

[graceful valley]

Scripter

[regal salmon]

you can only apply with 1 script

so you can just use a github gist to do so

[graceful valley]

So I can just make a github account upload a script and link that then?

[scarlet warren]

I’m treating as components anything that has per-entity logic. So yeah, I might be stretching the idea of components a bit. But idk, It sounds so intuitive at first, but feels awkward to actually implement

[regal salmon]

yup

[graceful valley]

Awesome

[regal salmon]

just make sure its a direct link

and make sure you follow the guidelines

[uncut dragon]

I've done something similar where I made an entity class that held other classes like what your describing but I think I literally only ever had one dependency between the components and that was with a state machine

[thorny prism]

My turn lemem.show U one of my portfolio I made EITH VIBE CODING

abdulrahman-art.vercel.app

[regal salmon]

oh also my roblox portfolio is in my bio

[thorny prism]

Bruh I sign have link perm

[thorny prism]

Ye I saw it did U make that

If yes

[regal salmon]

yeah

but i need to redesign it

kinda butt rn

[thorny prism]

Ohhh

Tell ai to resiinge it

[regal salmon]

if i get ai to design stuff i only get it to make a mock so i can get an idea of what it could look like

i still code it myself

[thorny prism]

Hmhm Wana do a challenge then to code a website

Or mod.ofmc or sum

[regal salmon]

ai seems to have messed up your "stack" thing

you also don't actually have any work on this

even though you have a tab that implies you do

[glossy slate]

ok

[thorny prism]

HH me vibe coder that why :p

[rare cradle]

Guys should i make a hatching system with viewports or camera based?

[dense drift]

help me someone, it says the word end at the end is closed off by a bracket or sum, heres the script

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

local coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
coins.Name = "Coins"
coins.Value = 0
coins.Parent = leaderstats

local level = Instance.new("IntValue")
level.Name = "Level"
level.Value = 0
level.Parent = leaderstats
end

end)

[slow hull]

no

[uncut dragon]

you have an extra end if someone didnt help already

[ashen birch]

you got extra end second to last line

[dense drift]

the high one or the low one

[ashen birch]

high

end
end) top one

[fluid wadi]

does anyone know how to fix the scrollingframe bug when your trying to place a image/button farther down but it keeps teleporting it up to the top and make the dragging start from the top?

[pseudo swallow]

control + z

[somber vault]

it happens when you have a frame within a frame I think

but you should be able to just tweak it the right wway

[median tree]

How can a vibe coder have a portfolio

💀

[somber vault]

I am just going to hold on web development for now lol

[regal salmon]

here are the things ai has coded for me!

[median tree]

💀

[dense drift]

can someone help me, my code is supposed to plus one when i click the button, everything else works except this part

player.leaderstats.Level.Value = player.leaderstats.Level.Value + 1

ill igve free scripts

[stray dock]

+= 1

player.leaderstats.Level.Value += 1

[dense drift]

player.leaderstats.Level.Value += 1 ?

u sure?

[stray dock]

and if thats not working then most likely level doesnt exist

[stray dock]

yes you dont need to reference the value again

+= is just an addition

[dense drift]

okay

[stray dock]

like 1 += 1 would come out as 2

[dense drift]

i love you

[stray dock]

np

[dense drift]

im so dumb

i love ur brain

[honest fern]

LMAO

[dense drift]

if i wanted to display the level that the character is on into a screenGui to texzt label, would i need a local script or script and where do i put it

[gloomy lily]

how do ppl made a gradient change colors like a rainbow from left to right like changing from red orange yellow to then bringing in the green and the red goes out of view etc etc

[dense drift]

math.random i think

[rotund pawn]

What is an easiet way to implement full intro tutorial, featuring "CLICK UI", BUILD THIS (Free building), DO this etc?

Should I just include ifs to the action & make them report action if player has tutorial enabled?

[late dock]

@keen mica

[storm jacinth]

So can you use true anywhere for an Infinite loop?

[primal sky]

guys I made proximity prompt and I want that when proximity prompt is trigged then player should freeze to one place

[proud sleet]

i have a question , if i make a custom chat and then doing blacklist for words that not allowed , is roblox will close my game?

[regal salmon]

while true do will be infinite, but if you dont put any yields itll crash because it tries to do it all in 1 frame

[regal salmon]

use roblox's text filters and abide by age group restrictions and you will be fine

[storm jacinth]

Is a yield like task.wait?

[regal salmon]

yup

[storm jacinth]

Oki ty

Also I've noticed you don't always need task before it is that a specific diffence?

[regal salmon]

you can run loops without yielding, it's just a problem if it NEVER yields

the more it tries to do without yielding, the longer it will take

and eventually will timeout

because, again, lack of yield means it tries to do it in 1 frame

[storm jacinth]

Yea I get that but I noticed that wait() also works the same as task.wait() is there any difference?

[regal salmon]

task.wait is more efficient

you shouldnt use wait

[dense wasp]

Wait is less accurate

[regal salmon]

task.wait is better

that too

[storm jacinth]

Ohh

Thank you guys!!

[strong gust]

wait() operates at 30hz and is throttled

task.wait() operates at the frame rate and isn’t throttled

[subtle sage]

can someonme gimme a game idea which is a simulator ish and ill do it

anythign for the money

[lavish wraith]

@obtuse furnace

[vestal fog]

Guys ,I’m looking for hiring influencers

[rotund pawn]

Any idea?

[rotund pawn]

Tool added to your backpack

No idea what that is but I love the movement style

[unreal nest]

🙏🏾

[spare sand]

does any one have any idea what's an instance and why it's a data type am so lost

[versed arch]

😂

[versed arch]

i'd help if you can rephrase what you wanted for your tutorial

[rotund pawn]

So I have free build type tycoon game, I want to create simple tutorial: Open Inventory => Select Conveyor => Place it => Wait for dropper to sell the part => Go there.

I need to figure out the easiest way how to implement this into multiplayer place without creating a new separate place with Tutorial.

There should be Icon (like arrows) to navigate player what to click

[limber zenith]

make that first arrow show up when player joins for the first time and whenever he does something arrow wants him to do it goes invisible and second arrow shows etc

[dire kestrel]

Yes

[versed arch]

the way I would do this is by highlighting the components the tutorial is pointing to

with models I would just use a highlight object and for gui you just add a blinking arrow

[dire kestrel]

Hmm

[rotund pawn]

I have two ways how to implement:
Add IF player has attribute Tutorial, fire bind event of action to Tutorial Module Tracker.

Or create UI overlay, that will create TextButton (like circle) around target UI Button & waits for the click

[south beacon]

How much Roblox coders do you think use ai nowadays

Seen Hella already

[regal salmon]

too much

[versed arch]

enough to make a grown man cry

[rotund pawn]

A LOT, I mean, AI is amazing when I am too lazy to write long functions just for visuals etc

[gaunt nimbus]

is there still money in coding in 2026

[near sonnet]

hey guys can someone explain the difference between render.Stepped and render.PreSimulate ive read the documentation but i dont rlly why i should use Presimulate instead of stepped

[oblique orbit]

Doing a breakdown on how much scripters actually make vs. how long they study. Looking for a few pros to share their stats in DMs for a Case Study. will be quick only 3-4 quesstions

[regal salmon]

yeah'

[faint mortar]

s

df

[regal salmon]

presimulation is used to do things before physics updates apply (e.g. you do something, then an object falls, then renderstepped is called), it's really dependent on what youre doing whether or not you should use it

[near sonnet]

ahh

cuz in documentation it jst said nowadys u should used PreSimulate

[faint mortar]

chat wtf how do i fix ts

[regal salmon]

RenderStepped and Stepped are different events

PreSimulation is a upgraded version of Stepped

[near sonnet]

oh

[regal salmon]

RenderStepped is called after physics updates but before the frame is rendered

[near sonnet]

yeah i think i meant stepped

[broken grove]

PreRender is the same as renderstepped

And the one roblox recommends

They changed all the names ig

[gaunt nimbus]

no one responds when i send my portfolio

[regal salmon]

that's hiddendevs for ya

[somber vault]

Nothing of your own fault. Go solo for now.

And make sure its good looking and shows good looking content

To convince clients you gotta use high quality assets, even though it doesnt have anything to do with scripting

Don’t

It’s too overwhelming

[patent sun]

No its not

Nothing is "too" overwhelming you just gotta up your tolerance

It probably will be at the start though

Ima start small just learning how to script and becoming decent

[umbral carbon]

You don’t know anything?

[patent sun]

Not really Ive done nothing but ran a few really good projects/manage servers but Ive realized this skillset wont get me as far as becoming a dev will

[umbral carbon]

Try out Laravel

You’ll thank me later

[patent sun]

Thanks for the suggestion

[fallow torrent]

what’s a better learning source youtube tutorials or roblox documentation/devforum?

[left monolith]

whats Laravel

[soft niche]

does anyone know how network ownership isnt owned by anyone and why its happening to me ;-;

Omg I can never find a good physics scripter who wants to make hundreds of dollars to make a slop game idk why they’re so hard to find. If only I could ever find a good one 👀

[rich adder]

yo i learnt a decent amount of lua a while back but took a pretty big break, is it worth getting back into and learning

i wanna make money and it seems interesting but idk

[wise turtle]

yes

how long would you say it takes to like start making things by yourself

i learnt for 2-3 months and was struggling

Quick question

Does this seem correct? :

I made that as a note to remind me

Let me expand it rq

:FireServer() --> Pings server (from localscript --> script)
.OnServerEvent(function(player)... --> Connects to server (script connects / gets signal)

:FireClient(player) --> Pings client (from server / script --> client / user)
.OnClientEvent(function(player)... --> Connects to client (client connects / gets signal)

:FireAllClients(function()... --> Sends to all clients (server / script --> all clients)

[left sail]

Lol

[regal salmon]

yup

[winged condor]

Is 1.8k lines of code too long? Its for a UI controller

[prime junco]

If you do it with a module script it shouldnt be that long

[sweet girder]

istg if the first 100 lines are local pi = math.pi local workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")

[regal salmon]

probably
try to find things that can be moved out into separate scripts

like different pages/screens or components that get reused (e.g. button animations)

[merry kayak]

yes

[heavy harness]

u only need pi if u are making a circle math algebra typa game

[winged condor]

Even though it is a LocalScript that acts as the main client side UI brain, it handles all of my UI, like menus, shops, daily rewards, HUD, and more, all in one place?

[regal salmon]

yeah

modules can be loaded on the client

So, I'm making a spell that basically pushes you but also has to ragdollize your character, which I can't find out how to do... can someone help me with that?

[clever sapphire]

type functions look so cursed. im loving em

[wise turtle]

luau is too good

[clever sapphire]

little experimentation 🤣

[clever sapphire]

fr

[clever sapphire]

yeah im with novinity. you should definitely extract those different responsibilities into their own modules. much cleaner and far more maintainable for both you and any potential future scripters

[sly stream]

guys does anyone have a video explaining replion by ytrev

[clever sapphire]

the simple usage example on github seems super straightforward

[hoary cedar]

For anyone who has experience with Blink, is it possible to implement events across multiple files?

[clever sapphire]

https://github.com/yTrev/Replion

[sly stream]

but i dont udnerstand what this does

while true do
    for _, player: Player in Players:GetPlayers() do
        local playerReplion: DataReplion? = Replion.Server:GetReplionFor(player, 'Data')
        if not playerReplion then
            continue
        end

        playerReplion:Increase('Coins', 10)
    end

    task.wait(1)
end```

[wise turtle]

yes

[hoary cedar]

Can you walk me through it?

I'm not sure I understand this option business

[wise turtle]

u create events in their own .blink file and import them into a main.blink that u run the blink command on

[hoary cedar]

Still sounds like ass to me

[clever sapphire]

this is an example where:

1. loop through all players every second

• if a DataReplion exists for the player,
• then you call playerReplion:Increase("Coins", 10)
  so it boils down to: every second, increase every player's coins by 10. and do it forever

its js a little usage example

[wise turtle]

so u could have a.blink, b.blink, c.blink files each with their respective events and in main.blink u do ```lua
option ServerOutput = "../BlinkEvents/Server.luau"
option ClientOutput = "../BlinkEvents/Client.luau"
option TypesOutput = "../BlinkEvents/Types.luau"

import "./a.blink"
import "./b.blink"
import "./c.blink"

[hoary cedar]

I just transferred to rokit. How do I install my dependencies? I don't see a package folder

[wise turtle]

rokit is for tools not packages

[sly stream]

so the replication to the client is through the increase method? So if i every edit a players data, i just call that method and recieve it on the client?

[wise turtle]

u install tools like rojo, wally and blink through rokit and you install packages through wally

[hoary cedar]

Wild

Is blink a tool or a package?

[wise turtle]

a tool

its a cli tool

[hoary cedar]

Is there no uninstall/remove command for rokit?

[clever sapphire]

not solely :Increase(). increase is one of them, yes. it looks like whenever you call :Increase(), it will replicate to client. correct in that regard

however, there appear to be several methods in replion which trigger this

[wise turtle]

u can just rerun rokit install

after removing a tool urself

[hoary cedar]

I want to implement the networking endpoints in each feature of my game. I don't want to have to import every service to do that

[clever sapphire]

replion has observers which is a core part of typical reactive programming. if you are fairly new to scripting or havent been exposed to observer patterns before, i recommend doing some research on that front first. it can be super wonky to wrap your head around at first

[sly stream]

is there a difference between each one?

[wise turtle]

u only need to import it once and your luau code will never need to do that

[sly stream]

oh maybe thats why, i have never really touched observers bfore

[wise turtle]

it will do codegen to generate the remotes into a table

and u just require it

[hoary cedar]

Every time I make a new feature, I have to make a new import

[clever sapphire]

yeah absolutely. :Increase() is solely for numbers. :Set() works for anything

https://github.com/yTrev/Replion/blob/master/src/Server/ServerReplion.luau

u can see the raw type here

[wise turtle]

the time it takes to make a new import is way less than actually creating the event in blink

[serene patrol]

Are there any good teachers/programs for new scripters that's very good/worth the money? So far i've spent about a week learning just off tutorials but I'm wondering if there are any other resources that help.

[sly stream]

unrelated topic but do you think i should switch over to rojo? like does it come with better benefits than the basic studio ones?

[clever sapphire]

if you want to go the route of a course or tutor, you can certainly do so. your learning process, your rules

but in my experience, just experimenting is the best teacher. nothing teaches better than trial and error. start with small projects to build a foundation and then you can begin branching out and creating cool and fun things

to start, id recommend sticking with tutorials but actually attempting to implement what you learn in ways that differ from the videos. copy pasting isnt a good teacher. if you continue to struggle with learning after even more time, then thats probably when you should consider paying for a teacher/program

but again, if you do wanna skip the hassle and go straight to paying, all the power to you

[wise turtle]

yes

[clever sapphire]

up to you. there are tons of benefits

especially with the sheer customizability of your editor

me personally i just stick with studio. i havent had any severe limitations yet

[sly stream]

uh do you know how i would even like install replion onto studio

because where do i put this src code

[clever sapphire]

oh yea theres also the benefit of different packages and libraries being easier to install, such as replion in this case

[clever sapphire]

but for this case, just manually create the modules and copy/paste the code

or i believe there are actually plugins for inserting repos straight into ur studio proj

i typically dont use any premade libraries so im not much help in this regard

[sly stream]

alright tysm tho u the best

[wise turtle]

maintainers should start putting rbxm files into github releases

[clever sapphire]

no problem. good luck

[clever sapphire]

yeah itd be much more accessible. i guess most just assume everyone uses rojo

[wise turtle]

frostfall started doing this with fluid using a github action that runs rojo build to automatically build the rbxm

[serene patrol]

Awesome. I just don't want to be stuck in a cycle of not learning/retaining information from tutorials since it's daunting right now to try and compile information from said tutorials into one larger scope/project. Since I'll be working with loads of questions in mind that i don't really have the answers for I'm just wondering if a tutor or a program is best since i feel like im getting to a stage of working on my own things just wanting to have answers to questions that I'm having to spend hours of research on just to answer

[clever sapphire]

oh thats actually awesome

[clever sapphire]

yeah thats honestly one of the most valid concerns for a beginner. tutorials are an extremely alluring trap sometimes. people who watch tutorials dont retain the information since theres just a simple copy and paste of code. its not a fault of their own; thats just how tutorials instrinstically are. there is no critical thinking or actual problem solving occurring, so it just goes in through one ear, out through the other

the only real way to really learn is to implement what you learn in different ways. obviously there an infinite number of ways to do this, but one of the most barebones examples:

1. a tutorial teaches you to :Connect() to a Touched signal on a part

• on your own, you can view the roblox docs for perhaps a ProximityPrompt's Triggered signal and implement it the exact same way
• the content differs enough where you actually have to apply critical thinking while still being similar enough to where its feasible

[wise turtle]

where master.blink located

[clever sapphire]

you could watch every tutorial in the world, copy and paste every line of code, and retain nothing. even this simple means of applying the material in slightly differing ways goes a super long way

a lot of programming is just repetition

[ember nimbus]

function Utility.PathType(Path: string): "absolute" | "relative"
    -- on unix-based systems, '/' is root
    if string.sub(Path, 1, 1) == "/" then
        return "absolute"
    end

    -- on windows systems, it is %w:[\\/]
    if string.sub(Path, 2, 2) == ":" then
        return "absolute"
    end

    return "relative"
end

[clever sapphire]

you wont memorize syntax after using it once. not even twice. perhaps not even thrice if not consistent

[ember nimbus]

maybe prefix with / for absolute path

[clever sapphire]

you just need to consistently make use of what you learn and youll be good. its how just about everyone builds their scripting skill: repetition and consistency

[ember nimbus]

docs don't say i had to read blink source this is W development

or maybe it means real root

and not project root

[wise turtle]

./ should work

according to docs

[hoary cedar]

./ referencing what?

[serene patrol]

Yeah, I guess that's where my question leads is that are there any good tutorials/programs that scripters know of that really helped them learn or that they figured out after they were already advanced that woudl've helped them. Something like a hidden gem course or playlist/tip (lol) that is really helpful for beginners

[hoary cedar]

I need to import from src

[serene patrol]

Not something that cuts or just tries to skip over hard parts of learning. Because that's not what im trying to do. just something that really helps

[wise turtle]

Looks like u can only use relative paths

[hoary cedar]

This shit

[serene patrol]

Because as I've learned literally everything else to do with studio except advanced and even beginning scripting i know of tens of programs/plugins/cheats that make life so much easier

[hoary cedar]

I swear to god

[clever sapphire]

yeah fair. i cant speak for everyone, of course. but me personally i started off by just searching "roblox scripting tutorial" and clicked the first result

just try and find a tutorial where the youtuber communicates their thoughts clearly and coherently

once you nail the basics, like really have them nailed down, then you can begin to wonder about courses and such for more advanced topics and where to go next

[clever sapphire]

yea scripting definitely differs in that there are no cheat codes. with building, you can get super fancy plugins to automate stuff. you can get blender. with ui, you can go to a photo editing app. there are tons of super great ui plugins

but when it comes to scripting, there... arent really any shortcuts

the harsh truth of scripting really is that it boils down to: respect for the consistency youll have to put in to make progress

[serene patrol]

Understood. The tutorial path that i've been following is Brawldev's beginner and advanced scripting playlists. And he's very good at explaining and helping retain information. Is this a respectable tutorial path?

[clever sapphire]

yeah absolutely. make sure you really engage with the material and retain as much as possible

as for next steps after youtube tutorials if you are really struggling: i know a youtuber named crusherfire is fairly competent and has a paid course. that might interest you

but i recommend just giving it a go the ol' natural way: trial and error

[wise turtle]

probably the best tutorial ytber rn

[serene patrol]

Yeah i've created a discord server full of my notes so far. It's helping out a lot and I do feel like I've got a good foothold I was just needing the confidence that the tutorial i was following wasn't for nothing

[clever sapphire]

ye i know hes highly respected

[serene patrol]

Awesome because I'm like 9 hours deep into his content so far

[ember nimbus]

watch the videos at 3x speed king

[sly stream]

guys is using a state controller and updatestate function (the one made by monzter dev) outdated. Like should i learn something else for replication or just keep doing it because it works

[ember nimbus]

then you'd be 3 hours deep

[clever sapphire]

the great thing about programming is the basics are so fundamental, no matter where you learn, as long as the educator has a reasonable level of experience, the material wont differ much

[ember nimbus]

does bro know the accumulator pattern

[serene patrol]

I wish that I could understand it at such a pace lol

[clever sapphire]

go as fast or slow as you want brother

[ember nimbus]

youtube lets you hold spacebar to set speed to 2x can save time on simple bits by holding it

it will reset to 1x when you let go

[serene patrol]

So far I'd say i'm definetly advanced in Modeling and Building. intermediate at Animation and UI design now it's just for scripting

[ember nimbus]

you're cooked

[clever sapphire]

thats awesome man. jack of all trades ftw

[night gazelle]

I think for your case an AI, could definitely help you learn faster - also teaches you ahead of time being able to read jargons so you can easily browse through documentations without issues. Specially since you're getting started with basics.

[wise turtle]

Im skeptical about learning scripting with ai

[hoary cedar]

@wise turtle 😭

[wise turtle]

never seen that before

[serene patrol]

Respectfully, I've been avoiding AI since I've taken both C++ and Java courses through my college and it's actually numbskulled

[clever sapphire]

im always hesitant to suggest ai for beginners. i absolutely agree that ai is amazing material for learning at an increased pace. however, for beginners, they dont exactly understand how to not abuse ai in a way that will actually harm them

[night gazelle]

Well as long it's some basic concepts then AI is basically very versed on that - it's pretty much learning from codes from other books, resources, etc.

[clever sapphire]

its the exact same trap as not retaining from youtube tutorials, though arguably far more dangerous with ai

[ember nimbus]

i'd probably be ass at programming if is started post ai

[night gazelle]

Yeah, I understand where you're coming from - definitely, it's basically a double edge sword

[clever sapphire]

not even just basic concepts. ai is actually amazing as a learning tool for just about anything. but you simply have to have a level of self accountability to not abuse it

[night gazelle]

it's very easy to get tempted to just vibe code when things get rough

[clever sapphire]

it has to remain as an educator, not a raw copy/paste tool

[clever sapphire]

exactly

[serene patrol]

Yeah I've gotten to the point where I'm just going to finish out the skill tree and become the dev i need for my projects lmao

[clever sapphire]

thats why its especially alluring for beginners

[night gazelle]

I learned scripting when AI was non-existent so I had a different experience - but AI has been 100% help with productivity

I don't have to do repetitive tasks and I mostly focus on some complex tasks

[clever sapphire]

yeah same here. i actually use ai frequently nowadays. when it comes to researching about more niche or just generally more complicated topics, it speeds up the process for me massively. no combing through dozens of articles

[night gazelle]

Yup - you're still the developer but you have a second pair of hands making suggestions

[clever sapphire]

exactly. same philosophy as a human teacher, essentially. they can guide you, not hold your hand or do it for you

[night gazelle]

I do really like using AI as someone who peeks through my code and let me know some analysis - ofcouse the analysis is written as detailed as possible so I can read it and make sure it's not just making some stuff up

[clever sapphire]

oh yeah ai is great for debugging

[wise turtle]

claude has been mean to me lately 💔 everytime i try to correct it it doesnt believe me and when i prove it wrong it starts making snarky replies

[serene patrol]

So then, would you guys susggest instead of searching for answers online to first go towards an AI to ask the topic? Or the other way around to catalog through forum first then AI?

[wise turtle]

didnt know llms had an attitude these days

[clever sapphire]

or not raw debugging because that too is a skill you have to train. but for scans of large systems

helps find edge cases that couldve slipped thru

[clever sapphire]

id recommend online to start

[ember nimbus]

ai keeps gaslighting me saying i am wrong

[night gazelle]

If it's a research with some concepts - then yes, you can definitely take advantage of AI

[ember nimbus]

i am right!

[clever sapphire]

shoot claude is good but too expensive

I reverse-engineered Claude Code's leaked source against billions of tokens of my own agent logs.

Turns out Anthropic is aware of CC hallucination/laziness, and the fixes are gated to employees only.

Here's the report and CLAUDE.md you need to bypass employee verification:👇

X · Mar 31, 2026, 1:04 PM

[clever sapphire]

i aint taking no attitude from somebody so expensive. fuck claude

[remote phoenix]

at the bottom of his long yap session, there's a skill file you can give claude

[serene patrol]

And if I am to use AI, what would you suggest?

[remote phoenix]

you may find it useful

[clever sapphire]

shoot. chatgpt is plenty fine

[remote phoenix]

gemini

[ember nimbus]

no ts is not anthropic this is for the ant colonies that rely on claude code to get their work done 🐜

[clever sapphire]

i hear good things about gemini

[ember nimbus]

nothing burger

[night gazelle]

Actually Claude is very good if you have a lot of money to spend LMAO

[serene patrol]

Would Claude be the trump card for learning with AI? and how expensive?

[night gazelle]

Though tbh it will take some context engineering to make it so it actually aids you on your workflow instead of being hindrance

[wise turtle]

https://llm-stats.com/

[remote phoenix]

good prompts, context engineering, and best of all, doing most of the coding yourself with claude's help

[night gazelle]

In my case - it's basically almost like an underpaid programmer

[wise turtle]

china uber eats ai winning in writing

[night gazelle]

but you'll definitely have to pay for it

to get the best of it

[ember nimbus]

is there any research into lobotomising llms

how much noise can you inject into their weights 🤔

is it morally ok to mangle an LLMs network 🤔

[serene patrol]

How much is it? Similar to CHATgpt premium or more than 20$ a month

[remote phoenix]

morals are subjective so do as you please

[formal jay]

i saw a video of a guy fucking up chat gpt by manually deleting/editting entries in chat gpts chatlogs

[night gazelle]

Tbh if you want to be comfortable then it's basically 100-200 USD a month

if you want more than that then you'll have to pay per-usage

[ember nimbus]

my morals are objective

[remote phoenix]

dude you can't possibly use up the full 200 USD context window

[modern seal]

wtf is yr bio
custom status*

[night gazelle]

But if you want to check Claude, start with the smallest plan

[ember nimbus]

you got a problem with dungeons and dragons?

[modern seal]

customm starus

[night gazelle]

Yeah but their freakin weekly quota and limits in every session basically forces you to get better plans

[modern seal]

statussssss

[night gazelle]

it's not about the monthly limits

[ember nimbus]

he a freak that's what the fuck his status is

[serene patrol]

Lmao quote from a vampire novel

[smoky dagger]

if you want to "learn" then chatgpt or any model is enough

[wise turtle]

what about grok

[ember nimbus]

idk chat gpt has been a bit gaslightly recently

[ember nimbus]

grok my king

[wise turtle]

I luv grok

[remote phoenix]

you'll barely run into the 100 USD limit if you're using claude a ton for one project

[wise turtle]

@grok teach me scripting in Luau

[serene patrol]

I already pay for ChatGPT premium, so i was wondering if ishould switch over to Claude

[remote phoenix]

yes

[smoky dagger]

claude is way better for coding

[night gazelle]

I see - I haven't really used it myself but I'm thinking of testing it out

[formal jay]

revoke free speech

[ember nimbus]

from me or from grok

[formal jay]

you

[ember nimbus]

bro i thought it was going to tell me off like all the other models do

i didn't think it would actually talk back

[hearty shard]

[remote phoenix]

you may run into the weekly limit... but I don't think you'll often run into the daily limit

[formal jay]

🤨

anyone know how to see your claude limit

[serene patrol]

understood, is there a preferred website? I tried making an account on LLM stats but it's just looping me

[formal jay]

if youre on free plan

[remote phoenix]

https://claude.ai/settings/usage

[wise turtle]

u can vibe code all day long and still not hit the 5x limits

[formal jay]

mine doesnt have that

idk why

[wise turtle]

but vibe coding is no longer the future

[formal jay]

maybe its because im on free

Is it possible to use path aliases in VSC for Roblox?

[remote phoenix]

doesn't rojo natively support path aliases?

or are we not on the same page

[ember nimbus]

the luaurc

[hoary cedar]

Yes

[ember nimbus]

oh you mean in roblox

without vscode

[hoary cedar]

You can make an aliases for the project, but it will fail to translate to Roblox

Obviously, Roblox doesn't understand src/shared/

It understands game.ReplicatedStorage.Shared

[ember nimbus]

roblox understands things like "@game/ReplicatedStorage/foobar" now iirc

so if you set up aliases for that

if you don't name your folders ReplicatedStorage you can prob setup symlinks in a special directory for the aliasing

[wise turtle]

I forgot how string requires worked mostly because its uninteresting

[ember nimbus]

idk i haven't touched roblox dev since they've added all that

[wise turtle]

auto-import winning

[hoary cedar]

I just wanna do @shared/ in VSC and have it translate to game.ReplicatedStorage.Shared

[wise turtle]

uh u migjt have to use darklua for that one

[ember nimbus]

roblox ain't never letting that happen

[heavy harness]

let roblox add getenv

[vivid bison]

What's the best resource to learn Luau?

Ill prolly use codehs

[hoary cedar]

Is it possible to have Rojo ignore the creation of a file in src?

I ended up going with this structure, @wise turtle

But of course,

[wise turtle]

it is common practice to just put all the event definitions outside of any synced directory

since its not even luau code

and the generated output should be somewhere in network for ease of access

[rigid sail]

I never understood why people use rojo.

@hoary cedar

[hasty mesa]

because vsc is a better text editor the studios editor

[hoary cedar]

@wise turtle, I'm finding that Blink's sync validation doesn't work?

can it be seen by exploiters if i place server modulescript code in ReplicatedStorage

[dense spade]

dont do that

[regal salmon]

yes, they wouldnt be able to run it on the server though

[dense spade]

they would know what remote arguments to send right?

[remote bear]

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-lebron-james-lebron-looking-down-leking-legoat-gif-622307020136227273

[karmic plank]

it helps them see how you process those arguments, you can already see those arguments from client.

[regal salmon]

true

[karmic plank]

the only risk is if your game has vulnerabilities and it gets figured out

[faint mortar]

can anyone review a server i made , it will propably benefit you too

its a private group rn , not asking for money or anything

[regal salmon]

whaddya need?

[jaunty hollow]

the people dont approve of my post so im trying to get a scripter here

for percentage

[regal salmon]

hiring isnt allowed in these channels

[jaunty hollow]

Oh sorry

[dense spade]

not many works for percentage,u gotta be lucky to find one

[jaunty hollow]

Do you think people from #modeling-hirable will do it?

#scripter-hirable

[dense spade]

yea but u need money,they all ask payment after completion

[lone prawn]

No

[dense spade]

not percentage

[lone prawn]

Especially when you don’t have a reputation for making games

[jaunty hollow]

Thats sad

[lone prawn]

You can’t get people for percentage

[vale mural]

id work for %, i need expereince

[jaunty hollow]

How much you have expierence

[lone prawn]

It’s because people don’t want to work for free if they have skills that they can be payed for

[vale mural]

ive made like 2 games

[dense spade]

people are fine with percentage if both parties have skills that help each other,example a builder hiring a scripter for percentage

[jaunty hollow]

Im a stud slop builder

[azure coral]

ai stud slop builder or just stud slop builder

[jaunty hollow]

not ai

[dense spade]

ah this is the important question

[dense spade]

this is good

[jaunty hollow]

How can you do AI slop?

[jaunty hollow]

Ty :D, i have 2 weeks of expierience

[vale mural]

tuff

[azure coral]

3d generation software but those are straight up buns

[dense spade]

wtf,2 weeks and this good?

[jaunty hollow]

Ohh ok

[azure coral]

better to create slop by your own hands to make it look more sloppier

[dense spade]

how do u make those terrain? do u manually place and rotate those parts? isnt that tiring?

[jaunty hollow]

Yea

[lone prawn]

How exactly can you be an ai stud slop builder

That’s not real

[azure coral]

retexture with stud i presume

[jaunty hollow]

Cmd+D, 3 to rotate, 2 to scale

[lone prawn]

Definitely a thing

[dense spade]

but thats so slow

[jaunty hollow]

And i mostly do works with reference

[dense spade]

i dont have that kind of patience

[jaunty hollow]

Im young so i have lots of time i guess

[vale mural]

[jaunty hollow]

By chance are you a scripter i gib u 50% 😄

[vale mural]

dms ffs

[dense spade]

nah im good thanks

[lone prawn]

How do you guys detect damage? I just do a spatial check and a delta v check

[dense spade]

real lift calculation?

[lone prawn]

Yea

[jaunty hollow]

what are the lines

[dense spade]

those green arrows are lift,red is drag but what is purple?

i mean pink

3d engine in a 3d game?

[remote bear]

its going to be worth it, trust

[dense spade]

whats the use? other than using it for a viewport frame alternative?

or maybe a retro game emulator

[remote bear]

i guess there isn't, i am making it because why not and i am learning some new things while doing it. I will make it open source so whatever people do with it they can do

i still want to add alot of stuff that will be a pain

[dense spade]

yay open source 😁

[hoary cedar]

I've been having issues getting VSC to autocomplete GetService calls. Am I missing something?

I have the Luau LSP installed

[chrome raft]

arent all coders cooked

ai can just code ur game

especially with robox assistant

[kind seal]

im not

id like to see ai make the n word appear in output

[wary sluice]

😭 i had anticheat code there

Thank god i moved it to serverscriptservice

No wonder exploiters were always finding a workaround

[remote bear]

Ai can’t get you far

[chrome raft]

yeah it can

[wary sluice]

if ur not a coder

u cant code a game

even with ai

[chrome raft]

yes u can

[wary sluice]

i bet you 10,000,000 robux u cant make an advanced simulator game 100% with AI that is maintainable WITHOUT KNOWING CODING

[chrome raft]

but the thing is

u dont have that robux

[wary sluice]

ai doesnt know how to think, thats why we coders exist

[kind seal]

i can but i know how to code

[chrome raft]

so there is no objective here

[wary sluice]

How do you know LOL

that's not much robux if ur game is on top 70-100 earning ish

[chrome raft]

because nobody has that

[wary sluice]

People has wayy more bro

Top earning games make hundreds of billions of robux a month

[chrome raft]

10,000,000,000

[kind seal]

10 billion

u aint betting 10 billion bro

even if u could

[chrome raft]

1 billion

[wary sluice]

oh wait i wrote 10 billion LOL

thought i wrote 10 mil

[wary sluice]

there u go

[chrome raft]

10,000,000,000 = 10 bil

[remote bear]

LLM’s still make mistakes. If you don’t know how the code works especially if you didn’t write it you will get unresolved issues with you game, obvious or not

[chrome raft]

u DONT have that

[wary sluice]

How do u know

[chrome raft]

just tell it whats wrong and it will fix it

[wary sluice]

LOL

NOT THAT SIMPLE LIL BRO

[chrome raft]

because others would know u

[wary sluice]

you gotta debug yourself

[wary sluice]

Do you know whos the owner of sniper duels?

[chrome raft]

yes it is, i do it every day while coding my game that i WILL NOT tell you

[chrome raft]

"my cousins friends dads mother's little sister" ahh

[kind seal]

i asked ai to make a module for me and it tried to add a property to the function it was returning

[wary sluice]

didnt say anything like that

you said "others would know you"

[remote bear]

That’s the thing you won’t know most of time and it would just probably hallucinate a “fix” if you don’t exactly know what’s wrong and if you do exactly know what’s wrong, why use Ai?

[wary sluice]

but do you know who owner of sniper duels is?

[chrome raft]

why would i know if i play roblox like once a year

[wary sluice]

nope u dont

excatly

[chrome raft]

i aint reading allat

[wary sluice]

so wdym by "others would know you"

[kind seal]

whats sniper duels

[wary sluice]

one of the top earning games

surely makes 10 billion robux a month

[kind seal]

i want

Agree to disagree? Not sure what you don’t understand

[kind seal]

holy jesus thats like

well i dont spend my entire life wasting it on roblox unlike u, u spent 6 years on ur life that ai can do in seconds btw

[kind seal]

50 million quid a month

[wary sluice]

Im using AI daily on my work LOL

And i still make more robux than you

[kind seal]

and how much is that

[chrome raft]

so you admit ai can make a game? nice

[wary sluice]

Why would I tell you

[chrome raft]

u may make more robux but im 14 and make more money

[kind seal]

why not

[wary sluice]

Robux is MONEY

hey calm down there im 18 , not much difference is it

[remote bear]

I don’t think he is stupid, just misunderstood. It’s easy to assume something about programming if you don’t program

[chrome raft]

yes it is

4 years

thats alot

[wary sluice]

How much do you make

[wary sluice]

earnings are personal information

but ill tell you, it's somewhere around 5 digit USD a month for sure

like clone a part very close to camera

u never do fps be4?

[dense spade]

nope

im curious how u did the ripple

[lavish plinth]

yo guys

why does the union become like this when i add a hole in the middle? or if i separate + union again

[dense spade]

add a hole in blender and import it

[viral cliff]

If anyone is good with physics scripting dm me lots of earning potential

[jade crag]

I didn't get any help yesterday, all y'all said was get a portfolio and like 1yr exp isn't enough, like I need actual help

[weak radish]

Making a portfolio does help you get hired 💀

[jade crag]

But like I'm already working on it, idk what to use honestly, like carrd, framer etc?

[jade crag]

I mean isn't making a portfolio already obvious? Like I'm asking for stuff like how to dm people who are hiring and etc

[weak radish]

almost everyone hiring expects a portfolio

[orchid pebble]

most ppls port is so trash they barely have any work at all

[wild grove]

whats the best way to delete massive amount of objects without any major lag?

[serene patrol]

How many lines of code in a single script is bad/unoptimized?

[limpid fern]

Yo guys I was trynna cook a smooth combat system for my game and someone recommended me to use CSP (client side prediction) and server sided hitbox with VP (velocity prediction), balancing it around 100 ms max because of roblox internal server buffer.
However, Ive also seen the concepts of client side hitbox OR character replication. If you are not aware, character replication is when you send a players position from client to others client. Because of this, the position you see a player will be the same position the same player is in their screen. No ping issues. I think thats the system CSGO uses? So, what system do you guys recommend so i can accomplish my objective? What concepts should i merge? Is there anything that work better than these options and I am not aware of?

[jade crag]

Yeah making that but like what do I dm people?

[weak radish]

nothing because you havent made a portfolio yet

[gusty fog]

multiple video examples of your work

not just any work, your best work

[night drift]

i think that varies on what your making?

[serene patrol]

The main script for my combat

Module script aswell idk if that matters

[pseudo girder]

lol get back to working on chrono blud

I -> will use it soon

thx

[night hemlock]

just tried to index a remote event instance as a bindable function

https://giphy.com/gifs/speed-dumb-selim-helal-ishowspeed-ov8Lynmnaxpqp7BApF

[terse hamlet]

Do you really need that hole? 🤔

[lavish plinth]

i was wondering why it does this bc the previous model is a union

if i separate then union it again, the same issue comes up

so its not the hole doing it

[terse hamlet]

Optimization

[dull peak]

Hey guys let's say I'm tryna get back into Roblox scripting what projects should I do as my first 5 coding projects? I want an updated portfolio but I don't want AI ideas I want unique ideas from y'all 😁

[slow drift]

bindable function bro thats crazy

remote event is the best
remote function is good
bindable event is shit just use a module
bindable function is more shit just use a module

[night hemlock]

I use bindable events just because they're clean

also they remind me of scratch message broadcasts (the good old days)

[slow drift]

yeah but like...theyre ass for performance

[night hemlock]

modules are faster but it's neglegible

[lavish plinth]

i use a signal module

[clever sapphire]

signal modules are very fun to make

[lavish plinth]

i feel like there are definitely times where'd youd need something tht isnt just a module function

plus its cleaner than bindableevents , thats why lots of ppl just use modules instead of remoteevents/remotefunctions

[balmy sorrel]

?

A module instead of remotes?

[hallow crag]

custom signals are 10x faster dude...

[clever sapphire]

faster but not 10x faster

[lavish plinth]

Yes

[zenith wyvern]

i hate this

[zenith wyvern]

if u need a networking module ur bad at coding loick in

[glossy loom]

hi anyone here who can do simple ui and scripting?

[zenith wyvern]

yes me

pay me though

[glossy loom]

yes

can you dm me with your past work?

[lavish plinth]

if you are so good show us the games you made

it's just to make organization better

a lot of big games do that

[zenith wyvern]

im baiting anyways

its fine to use packet

im pretty sure thats what ur using

i wouldnt use it personally because i dont like bloat but packet is useful

[iron kraken]

i wouldnt use it either

the only module i use is profilestore

[lavish plinth]

then use your own one or one of the million other networking modules

it's not exactly hard to create one i just like packet

[lavish plinth]

i use a lot , most of them are like max 200 lines so i don't really see the point in rewriting them

spend 5 minutes reading it and you'll understand what's going on

[night hemlock]

They're negligibly faster. If you need to apply the event to hundreds of instances, then a module is the way to go. Otherwise, it's unnecessary.

[strong tangle]

If I am overwriting the Roblox Health system, should I place the script inside of StarterCharacter or StarterPlayer?

[broken void]

character

[strong tangle]

ty

I've made this local script but it only updates for the local player - for other players it doesn't, how do I fix it?

local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

while true do
if humanoid.Health < humanoid.MaxHealth then
humanoid.Health += 1
end
task.wait(5)
end

it is inside of the StarterCharacter

[broken void]

it shouldnt be a local script if you dont want it to be local

make it a normal script

[strong tangle]

alright

yeah, I thought of that but I just didn't knew that startcharacter and player can hold server scripts

thank you

[crisp plaza]

You know this isn't really a starter player or character requiring script

[granite quarry]

do you need to shut down all servers when u update your game

[crisp plaza]

Game.players.playeradded: connect to character added would be better

[crisp plaza]

I think it's automatic

[zenith wyvern]

yes it is

[broken grove]

If you want all servers to be updated

[zenith wyvern]

because it uses script.Parent

[crisp plaza]

No it's not

Yeah but why would U use that

[strong tangle]

tell me more

[crisp plaza]

In the first place

[zenith wyvern]

ok so how else do you find the specific player without unnecessary overhead such as a connection to playerAdded

[broken void]

its perfectly fine to keep it as is

[zenith wyvern]

hmm unnecessary overhead or script in startercharacterscripts

[broken void]

hes just nitpicking

[broken void]

this is wrong

[crisp plaza]

Just create a server script and connect the character added thingamajig to player addrd

[broken void]

new servers will be updated

[zenith wyvern]

yeah

[zenith wyvern]

unnecessary overhead

[broken void]

old servers need to be shutdown

[zenith wyvern]

dont do this

[strong tangle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/710563050025123882/1465094744282763538/1_Hour_in_HD.gif

[crisp plaza]

Unnecessary overhead?

What

[crisp plaza]

😂

[zenith wyvern]

yes it is infact unnecessary overhead

[crisp plaza]

I understand

But what does overhead mean

[zenith wyvern]

what

😭 he nitpicking but dont know overhead

[zenith wyvern]

its like bloat, for example byte overhead is unnecessary bytes

[broken grove]

Time spent doing something other than the primary task

[zenith wyvern]

if youre using 8 bytes for a int that only requires 4 bytes

[crisp plaza]

Is TS deep or what

Bloating as in like debloating face fat?

Like the potassium maxxing

[broken grove]

I feel like cloning a script might have more overhead than playeradded

[zenith wyvern]

its minimal and i dont think a noobie knows data cleanup and you're making a connection to every player anyways

well i guess a noobie also doesnt know that

characters dont get auto cleaned up or whatever

still whatever its nitpicky

[visual lagoon]

Guys why doesn't roblox add shaders?

[sly ice]

replica module good?

[grim kelp]

does anyone reccomend any tutorials to get good at scripting?

[candid void]

is this a memory leak or normal?

[remote phoenix]

FYI

[strong tangle]

ty

[remote phoenix]

I don't know how the default health script looks but you should maybe just modify it instead

[strong tangle]

If I could just find it

I did it the other way around

[remote phoenix]

this may not be best practice but here's something I just quickly wrote:```lua
local function regen(char)
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local regenerating = false 

humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(newHealth)
    if newHealth < humanoid.MaxHealth and newHealth > 0 and not regenerating then
        regenerating = true
    
        while humanoid.Health < humanoid.MaxHealth and humanoid.Health > 0 do
            task.wait(5)
            humanoid.Health = math.min(humanoid.Health + 1, humanoid.MaxHealth)
        end
    
        regenerating = false 
    end
end)

end

local function newPlayer(player)
local char = player.Character
if char then
task.defer(regen, char)
end
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(regen)
end

local function init()
for _,player in game.Players:GetPlayers() do
task.defer(newPlayer, player)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(newPlayer)

end

init()

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/the-correct-way-to-do-characteradded-and-playeradded/3343708

[strong tangle]

what...

why is it like that

ahh, interesting

[remote phoenix]

1. using healthchanged to start the regenerating while loop instead of just running a constant while loop
2. ensuring we apply the function to any existing players too and not just newly added players (to avoid a bug, as shown in the devforum post)

[warped tapir]

[strong tangle]

I'm new, what does task.defer do?

[remote phoenix]

you can probably simplify further by adding/removing players from an array so that only one while loop exists instead of one while loop per player

local playerTable = {}

healthchanged(function(player) -- too lazy to type it all out
    playerTable.insert(player)
end)


-- and then in our existing while loop:
while ... do
    for _,player in pairs(playerTable) do
        -- heal player here
    end
end

[remote phoenix]

v

I think it waits until any existing things happening on the char are done

[strong tangle]

If I am making a new leaderboard (leaderstats) then I also shouldn't do then player.added ?

[remote phoenix]

take inspiration from the devforum post I linked

[warped tapir]

do u like geography?

[strong tangle]

I do

[warped tapir]

who owns the Amazon?

[bleak glade]

not exactly

[warped tapir]

[bleak glade]

it defers the execution to the end of the resumption cycle

[strong tangle]

Jeff Bezos 😎

[warped tapir]

congraulations

[strong tangle]

tank yu

[remote phoenix]

isn't that what courotine.yield does?

[strong tangle]

@remote phoenix I use player.added for adding a leaderstats, could it be the reason to why I am getting infinite yields on my leaderboard sometimes?

[remote phoenix]

maybe

https://tryitands.ee/

[bleak glade]

no that yields the courotine

that is different from a defer

[frail plaza]

anyone on rn could help with my app?

[grim kelp]

does anyone know a good way to learn more code?

[soft niche]

how do i disable health in general or is that not a thing

[ember nimbus]

MaxHealth set to math.huge

and Health

[soft niche]

will the void still kill them

[ember nimbus]

void deletes any anchored parts no matter what

you can set it to 50k studs down via workspace properties

but you can’t disable it

[languid kraken]

Tp them up before they hit void

[soft niche]

k thanks

[languid kraken]

In a heartbeat on client

Or renderstepped

Doesn't matter much

[pine plinth]

Yoo where do I find good sfx from

The tool box ones suck

[livid gull]

i found the best way is to set urself multiple small tasks like make a tool or such

thats how i learnt

[nimble bear]

what does __index do ?!?!?

[somber vault]

Its related to metatables, you can find more resources on that specifically

[nimble bear]

yeah i went to the roblox engine api thing and i still dont understand what it do 😭

[somber vault]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk8UVm-gxBs This guy goes over it well

[nimble bear]

thank 🙏 🥹

[somber vault]

Of course!

[cyan lantern]

i always forgot you can do oop in scripts and not just in module scripts

[opaque steeple]

how do poeple find dev partners none of my irl friends do this 🙏

[stable verge]

same 🥀

[opaque steeple]

lmk if you fulfill these requirements 🥀

• you want a partner
• you're around 16

[dark juniper]

U don’t

That’s the thing

ur either solo carrying or ur hiring people

everyone who does sucks
