i want to be coder
I’m being deadass twin
as someone’s who done it
Other people will be very unreliable
maybe you just haven't met someone with the right goals or ambition
whats so bad about it anyway
people are just unreliable
Need help with a persistent inventory issue during initial Character Load
Nobody is going to match ur goals or ambition
Especially if it’s longer term too
ur basically asking some random guy on the internet to commit to ur project for who knows how long
for like no money too
yea but then u will hold them back
Or they are already successful
But I probably haven’t u have a point there
But the chances of that happening are 0.01%
glass half full
I’m a really good scripter tho
really
But yea I’ve had people work for me
And I’ve partnered with people
They all just suck and are lazy
how
Cause they don’t wanna learn and normal people don’t take Roblox seriously
Everyone is so invested irl that they don’t consider the chance of working hard in Roblox
have u had a succesful game yet
Nah but I’ve published
ur ahead of me twin
It’s probably some of my own fault
I won’t excuse that
But the people around me don’t make it easier for me
I’ll tell you that
wdym
Like I’ve never been on a project where I was the one getting out performed
And getting carried to the finish line
It was always me
maybe ur just goated
Which shows that your own success will come from yourself
When I have time I’ll grind Roblox basically all day
Weekends included
are you in high school
oh whioops lol
But yea telling u now
As someone who’s been there done that
ur not gonna ever be successful with dev partners unless u find that 0.01% guy and have the right idea lined up
be active with communities
dev partners suck
i pretty much got boosted to where i am rn by being active in communities like this one
fah
ive romanticized it so much tbh
do you know anyone irl that does this
no Roblox dev is super niche
like imagine ur best friend doing roblox dev
Slim and none chance of finding people irl doing it
bbq chicken
Yea but that’s the problem ur friend is normal and he has linear normal goals like normal people
Do good in school -> do good in college -> get a stable job -> get a family
Ur average normie has this programmed into their brain
ts is ahh i like to keep my dev identity separate
escape the matrix ahh
WE are the penguin
true….
We are the penguins
I’ll give it credit where it’s due
But there’s a lot of normal people here
terrible take
And this will never be more than a hobby to them
how
no one in my life knows i make money from roblox dev except from my immediate family and closest friends
knowing someone personally and sharing the same common goal would be peak
i don't like the idea of having friends in real life to actively discuss roblox dev with, might be a me issue but it's kinda weird
yeah hah... I'm smart.. I'm nothing like those wage slave normies... (I actually just have autism and make $0 a year)
most of the time they'd be like what @dark juniper has been telling you about
i get it
It’s fine to do that, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, it’s just how normal people work
¯_(ツ)_/¯
what i mean is like
once you find a like minded individual
its only up from there
lol
very slim chances
but possible ig
i've met a couple of people here and there but never stayed in contact
i like to assume the worst-case, which is them weighing me down
yea tbh none of my friends are dreamers and it kinda sucks
yea so u have to be the penguin
If u wanna actually make something happen
Or u just spend money on this tactically
like you find a smart idea
Then you budget
And spend money on releasing it
U either lose money or make it big
Aka how all businesses work
yes
it really can
yes
approaching this wrong
it took me far realistically
Yes lol
it's not about going from 0 to rich with one game
make your first 100/1k, then 10k, and so on
i was only making some 20 to 100 dollars a month back then
passively?
i guess the hard work paid off
roblox is a tool that can and may be used to get from any one point to another, that's dependent on you
Roblox paid for this vacation (ignore meat gloves)
commissions
holy nail
I ate that shit so much it started tasting good
me too
😭
thanks again for the house you donated me bro
no dont say that
% > comissions
i refuse to believe this really
i have % on a current project that pays me monthly
In the start you gotta do em
it really isn't impossible, just do the work
Then you get connections and find work that pays %
You’d be suprised
how long did it take u guys
Does anyone have the Roblox dev earnings screenshots
i was on the verge of quitting then until i got a message from a project manager offering me the job
it started from 500 dollars every 2 weeks
then it just scaled up from there
i'm not larping
i script
😭
first $1k to first $5k to first $10k guys
gotta break it down into smaller steps just like a coding problem
how long have u been doing ts
started 14 i'm turning 19 now
made my first money before i turned 16
quit for a few months
came back to do comms to cover basic expenses
then quit again
came back before i turned 18, got the job offer, and i've been doing it for a year now
nice
is visual studio better
for our use-case yes
doesn't matter, only use it if you want to if you're doing a solo project
there's a reason why certain games use visual studio
but most of the time they'd be confined in the roblox editor
doing scripting for 1 year is comms the play
yes
like basic ones
u gotta be careful too tho
if that's what you want to do then yes
actually make good work that makes people wanna hire u again
produce good product = top developers want you
thanks to you guys I actually just came up with a fun little idea imma go write it down
no
my advice for u is don’t try to rush stuff for money just make things as best as u can
you get 10%
No matter the money
and always have a goal
my main motivation for doing roblox dev was money
not because i wanted to be rich, but because we're poor and i have to help my family
would u ever wanna be a game producer
really
no I don't need to be a game producer to get rich
being a game producer is stressful
but i feel like creating ur own studio is where real money is, scalable?
Like really stressful
doing roblox dev made me develop a passion for coding
how do i optimize this?
if that's your niche then go for it
and its what i've wanted to do ever since
maybe im just enticed by that because i like entreprenuership
no you see man it's all about motivation and what you truly in your heart believe you are capable of doing
I think "do I see myself in 10 years being a game producer" and the answer is no
i'm not even a good scripter
ask me anything about DSA i won't be able to answer it
you don't have to be incredibly smart to succeed as a scripter
do you need to publish games to have a good portfolio? or just systems
[Content Deleted]
That’s funny cause I know a guy
systems are enough
I used to play this niche game with a community
And he was like dumb and got into arguments and stuff all the time
can you explain how it works?
i want to understand it aswell
yeah being smart doesn't compensate for work ethic
using bitwise truncation | 0 instead of round()
caching texture and xpos cuz you only need to do it once
theres gifted smart and hard work smart
hard work smart is debately better
both are useless if you're not consistent
devs get laid off because they start to slack off
I was dumb and got into arguments all the time too but only because I was naive, young and immature, and not in full control over myself (I have ADHD)
tysm
u have a system?
i'm making a raycaster
for concistency?
but the tutorial was in C++
i don't
whatever motivates you bro
i just try to be the best that i can be each day
because i'm not doing this for myself
w haha
i'm horrified to inform you 😭
you should also manage your time well
you can be really good at working but really bad at managing time and you end up not working at all
which is a problem i have, but i've been working on it
oh my
ive gotten so much better ive been working on this
i use habitica
so good
its not really a gam,e
what i meant is i don't play games anymore for leisure time
the humble ADHD medication that helps me code and game without being distracted and continue staying on task all day:
its like a productivity thing
oh yeah right
i also have very few friends because of what i do
i was honestly gonna use chatgpt to help but i shall NOT stoop down to be as low as a vibecoder
i do more work than hang outs which is why i don't connect with most people
are you sure it's not just because of your autism
i'm not autistic
damn
don't worry you don't seem autistic
I would be more convinced if you said you had no friends from the start but clearly you have friends
do u guys use claude to help code
i use AI for debugging
claude is the best AI for all coding-related tasks
also one of the wonders of VSC is you have copilot
stuck at a bug? just pull the chat from the right and ask what's causing it
depends on the AI model ultimately
if you can explain the context it does
prompting helps a lot too
yeah
if you just tell it to "fix this" you won't get anything useful
i like to give it explanations of what may be causing the bug, how i intended the code to work, and what systems are tied to it that should make it work
this makes copilot scan everything related to it and usually find the root cause immediately
anyway i have to start my day, peace
peace
okay now that he's gone lets continue the yap and larp session, who's with me
found solution WITHOUT ai slop
turns out using strokes are very VERY intensive calculations
so just filling out the color instead works like a charm
oh cool can I see the new code
What ai is best for codes?
exact same 😭
claude
none, don't use ai slop
Im making a game im trying to hire devs i have 70k robux
Yeah but i cant hire anyone
I dont wsnna say the game ides here
dms
oh nice
yummy
unity?
no
i fuckin love raycasters dude
A web editor for p5.js, a JavaScript library with the goal of making coding accessible to artists, designers, educators, and beginners.
they are so awesome and cool
yes indeed they are
Thank you += thank you step understood boss
now no one will understand the reference
What in the world would cause Test to run as expected but Team Test and Server Client Test to NOT work the same way.
I feel like Events are just failing to reach the server and come back
uncommited scripts!! teehee
yo guys i wanna make like a limitation for the player. Do i do it with jst a part or is there anything better?
invisible part
nah the player should see it
okay so not-so-invisible part
like yk when u claim free daily rewards in a game and u walk through a thing
this type of limitation
no I don't
the only game I've been playing lately just opens up the daily rewards UI immediately upon join
how do i make it so parts spin less when colliding with each other
Jasper, I'm gonna ship ya a dictionary
oh that looks like a few parts being used to make an approximated circle
?
alr
Idk what you mean but yeah probably just a circle mesh off of toolbox
idrk how to explain it
So a circle that they could see but couldnt go through
Heavier parts take more force to spin, maybe you can also find artificial methods of reducing spin
how do i add wieght to a part
You can adjust its mass by enabling custom physical properties in the properties tab
And changing density
hm do u know anything that makes it harder for parts to fall aswell?
less mass/density
how do i change this so the text doesnt go out of the billboard GUI
text scale is off
cant i jst do it in properties?
Increase mass
who ping me
Idk whenn Ill find a tutor here
For me it lowk feels like on e you get used to it it becomes easy
bro the roblox ai is actually goated
thats actually crazy
i was genuinely impressed
the other day it took like 2 hours to make a door opening script and for some reason its so much faster today
i made the elevator in 15 minutes
15?!
yeah
ai is advancing
fr
i wonder what life is gonna be like in the next year or 2
im not tryna replace yall scripters or anything but I needed ts for my build showcase and I cant afford to pay anyone 🥀
😭
i dont even script
ima stick to animating
just imagine scripting for a whole 3 hours and a typo can js ruin ur code
idk if i can deal w that
naw lwk u can just constantly make backups
just now the ai broke my door and i recovered it in like 1 minute
{elevator was incomplete at the end of the clip here]
shut up
oh i can say shut up
yet i cant add fuck to it
mods do yall really think restricting vulgar language is going to fix the quality and rationality of conversations
considering how infrequent these combinations appear

How did black play
so tuff
Yh
can someone help me for some reason when i use my coustom falling animation in game it keeps looping weirdly
hmm
did u check the priority
guys how do i connect an existing roblox project to vs code with rojo
Want to develop Roblox games like the pros? In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through setting up a full advanced development environment using VSCode, Rojo, Wally, Git, and more.
Tools:
VSCode: https://code.visualstudio.com/
Rokit: https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rokit
Wally: https://wally.run/
Git: https://git-scm.com/
GitHub: https://github.com/
...
the above vido helpme a lot try it out
thank you but this doesn't sync already existing project files with vs code
it only shows vs code -> studio not the other way around
unlikely
i have finally added a z depth pass to the engine, though for now it just has one layer and can be improved/ optimized

thank you!
i need help with my car code, it's bouncing weirdly and the wheels go crazy when turning, can anyone inspect my script and see?
local car = script.Parent

bodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
local ratio = car.DriveSeat.AssemblyLinearVelocity.Magnitude / stats.Speed.Value
end
end)
might be sum wrong wit your hingeconstraints
Alright I’ll look into it
whats the diffrence between the character and the player?
is using WaitForChild on server bad practice?
i know there's no point in using it but i got too used to it
huh
I think it’s bad practice in general
what about the client
yes unnecessary there too
how come
player objects are created once when a player joins and destroyed when they leave. they represent a connection to that server. characters are the physical model that interacts with the workspace
imagine character as CJ in GTA SA and the player is ur controller
because you never need to wait for something like that on the client , the only time you need to is if the server instantiates something after you load in and it’s better to just react to something loading in and out rather than waiting for it
thanks for the tip
i see
preciate it
Yo can somebody help me im making a cave but when I turn global shadows on or smth in the lighting then it's super laggy im making a rpg
If somebody knows it ping me
Code
ajo guys i have a question, how u guys learn to code on roblox?
and what is the best method to learn luau
Youtube
Yo can somebody help me im making a cave but when I turn global shadows on or smth in the lighting then it's super laggy im making a rpg
Depends on where you use it
Its usually useless though
d p e ne d so in 57 67 b F2 RO 4f dpe aqfn denspd on 241
anyone know how to make a ui that appears when a product is being purchased and make it dissapear when its done
i do
can you explain how it works?
nah
your best bet is to ask gpt
ask claude not chatgpt, also WHAT I'D DO is create a marketplace serverscript and a client script
both with the local variables for your UI
Can someone maybe help me with this problem that I'm trying to deal with as a first time developer??
Im trying to make an psychological horror first person game, and I need to make a main menu. And I want the menu to be those dynamic one's for a specific reason.
Now, after I coded it... Somehow i can't move my cursor nor does the camera part show the scene I want the main menu to be...
I've been trying to fix this problem when I can move ny mouse around in the main menu whilst it showing the scene I built and when I press play it would instantly put me to first person so I wouldn't have a problem...
Hop in my dm's can you share your current code?
I could but js turned off my computer sadly 😭
All is good, do you possibly have a picture of your output?
g
I've tried searchihg stuff on google and youtube but its no use...
ask AI twin
Don't have either, but I had this one guy on youtube and I used his tutorial to guide me with it but still no use
When your computer is back on and you have free time, feel free to shoot me a DM
Sure sure
His name is Develuper pretty sure, the title name is "How to make dynamic main menu"
Smth like that
dms.
DMS.
me dms
DMS pls.
replica module good?
Thx
yooo is anyone a dev or an investor here? Ive got sm opportunities
trust me there are NOT enough investors to go around
Im selling a game it aint the best nor the worst
If a scripter isnt a femboy dont hire him
Folk
no
first person locks your mouse too
What should i do if i feel like ive gotten reliant on ai to code
You just never need to use it and probably encourages worse practices than not
i wonder how a world filled with vibecoded code would look like
something that geniunely came on my mind
hello everyone, whats the best way to learn codeing in a practic way (not like thouse courses where you just code and not code for a game) sorry bad english
WaitForChilds kinda dumb imo
did you ever code before?
if yes then just look through cheat sheets
ye but not much, I know the basic stuff and like logic
if statements, for loops, while loops, repeat loops, functions and tables?
in that case i recommend going through roblox's documentations
its sortof similar just that lua doesnt really care much about indents
tables might be a lil different
went through tutorial videos of a team changer and allat when i was young
it was my first ever attempt at actually coding something so yeah
cool
any good videos for CFrame?
I think maybe I'll just try to do a simple game like an obby
try making checkpoints without using roblox's default checkpoint models
I started to script on Roblox before there were tutorials really but I think for self teaching it helps if you just work on whatever you find fun even if it’s above your level
I'll prob start doing that thk y'all
Gotcha!
im gonna try to make a whole game using ai later shits gonna be fire
bro 💀
bro im bouta cook up the most fire game using ai
watch it blow up on roblox
next big hit
This is so original, no one has ever thought of this
you dont know how pro I am with ai
I might just be the AI overlord
No one has ever said this either!
they listen to me like minions (this is just a joke in case of future ai takeover)
bro im being so fr u should have seen the elevator i made yesterday
or the elevator script I commanded ai to make
same thing
when button is clicked change y axis
TOP level scripts I see
someones salty
The roblox ai is so dumb
Every prompt ive ever given it its not been able to respond properly
Does it talk in binary
You cant deny its bad if it couldn't do tweens properly
bros speaking like I know what a tween is
someone whos almost a teenager?
its not bad it just made the best elevator script of all time in 20 mins
This is why you dont use roblox ai
How many lines did it use?
because I reckon it did bad code
given it hardcoded task.wait(0.6)
how is that bad
why would the wait time not be hard coded if the doors take 0.6 seconds to close each time
im not scaling the speed of the door on different levels that makes no sense
in fact that would just make it take more lines for no reason
???
it wouldnt
youre saying that making it scale with the number of floors - which doesnt even make sense btw
would take more lines than task.wait(0.6)? 😭
why would the speed that the door opens not be hard coded 🙏 😭
I didnt say anything about scaling with the number of floors. Im saying it hardcoded a wait of 6 seconds which is bad code
Could someone please explain me how I could add a cooldown to my script? local TouchPart=game.Workspace.TouchPart
partistouched=true
TouchPart.Touched:Connect(function(otherpart)
local randomnumber=math.random(1,100)
if partistouched==true then
print(randomnumber)
task.wait(2)
partistouched=false
end
end)
why would you not want it to be hard coded? theres literally no reason not to hard code it
The speed and the time it waits before moving are both harcoded
better code would use a single variable, speed
??
why would the speed not be hard coded
the elevator doesnt accelerate when going up bro
put the partistouched = false before the task.wait
I dont think you know what hardcoding is
and a partistouched = true after the taskwait
sorry
I do, you give it a specific value instead of letting it calculate the value based off a different factor
why would you not give it a specific value that makes no sense
my guy wants my elevator to accelerate depending on the number of floors
this isnt a racecar
Nope
Hardcoding is directly typing in values e.g 0.6 instead of using variables
thats literally what I just said
No its not
yes it is
I said you give it a specific value
which is literally what u just said
my guy
😭
You said not hardcoding is calculating stuff based off different factors
Icba with you, if you were a programmer maybe this conversation would be easier for you
im not wasting more time than i alr have here
not wasting lines tryna write script that makes no sense
when would u even need to change the speed of the elevator
pointless feature
and plus the ai can literally edit all of the code in 10 seconds so theres literally n o point of making it not hard coded
So what do you use instead? Does it take into account that the referenced item might not have loaded in yet?
imagine needing to code just use ai
fr
What programming language do you use?
: "English"
hello all, I want to get started with scripting in roblox to create games, I have taken a look at the documentation provided by roblox to understand core concepts as I have no prior coding knowledge but I want to implement this into creating systems for a game. What would be a good way to get started with this?
U got no drake in your bio, for that reason. Im out.
I'll be honest I have listened to 3 drake songs and I didn't like them so I haven't given him a chance
Listen to marvins room 9 and 8/10
okay
I had to be not in the right headspace
at all when coding my converter
if table.find(key:lower(), {"w", "a", "s", "d"}) then error('Attempted To Use Movemental Restricted Keybinds For Computer') end
Why the actual hell did I think the first argument was the needle and then the haystack!
Am i mentally well
😭 What is bro protecting
If that's accessable on the client that is a bad decision he made
uhhh its a scp game and i dont want people on the foundation team to be able to switch to chaos insurgency
Is this script local?
server
Where Is the script stored?
in the trigger for the actual team switch
So Workspace?
yeah
There's a more secure way to do this
because It's equal to putting endpoint urls and stuff that can be seen in the chrome console
that can kill a site
huh?
im new
and also massively stupid
i just removed the protected group id
Just essentially saying If you want your stuff to not be scene from like exploiters
if its in a server script they wont see it
Well if it's in workspace they will
He didn't put it In ServerScriptService
If that's what you thought he did @formal jay
Uhh some exploiters can
and they probably already know which group to join/leave if they want to be able to switch to CI
if theres exploiters in your game that are changing your server code youre fucked anyway 😭
I seen someone do it before
they usually have backdoors into the game
Well they can't see shit in ServerScriptService
Or ServerStorage and etc
Which is where you would hide your scripts
Point is they should be putting scripts in a safe place
yeah but it seems like uranium put it where they did for convenience
and its not a big security flaw its just a group id
Yeah That part is fine but they called it Protected
when It really wasn't
And I was trying to say how it would be protected
let me tell you what protected meant
Protected from being put on the team
if you're not in the group you can be put on the team
i worded it like hit
shit
oh
is this good or bad?
well i wasnt promised any payment
extremely bad stop it asap
what should i do then
what's considered good?
3%+ ctr
no the issue is you have bad thumbnail
how should i make it then, it's a color guessing game, 6 player and 5 rounds each kind of like a gameshow
lol
roblox just released this thing
the assistant can now bug test for you
This looks slower than just testing it youself
not just looks
it is
it takes a while to think about what I need it to do, which was enter a box without an entrance and then press 1 singular button
Have you made an FPS gun system before?
no
i just saw their showcase on devforums, are they trying to build a community full of lazy devs
I just can't figure out how to replicate the animations of the viewmodel to other players
speaking of which
i HATE the auto ai code assist
it guesses what im about to code and never gets it right
i had to turn it off
I believe people usually play the animations on the actual player model along with the viewport model, except, you as the player can't see your hands while in first person.
I may be way off though.
(sometimes but still annoying)
same and i hate accidentally clicking that "Open Assistant" button that pops up under every single line 💔 like get out of here 😭
I will try that and let you know
you can toggle that off
I personally only keep the manual activation, because sometimes I am too lazy to write 2 extra words lol
Wait I have already tried it before.. It lags behind in comparsion if it was on a local script. What if I do both... hmm
their newly released beta feature seems to not work on textlabels, sigh
really?
I thought roblox syncs the animations, especially if played locally
must've misremembered
Well, the positioning lags off, as the player turns and what not. I am unsure of the actual "animation" yet. I update the viewmodel's cframe every frame on the local script after setting its ownership to the player but the viewmodel on the server doesn't replicate. Any suggestions?
as I have never made an FPS system of any kind I am unsure myself.
In my head, I'd just need to animate the hands on the rig and just use a world model inside a viewport frame to render the animation on both places.
It would only lag the animation back due to us all being in different regions, but I don't see what the problem with positioning the model itself would be as...The other players don't need to see your personal view model lol
I'll never touch phantom forces ever again to look at what they do too
I've only read their code once...The animations are made from math and not actual animation keyframes 😂
I have never made an FPS system as well -as you can see lol. Could you specify how you would replicate the player's holding of the gun on the server?
lol yeah I noticed that too. Way too much
if i learn python in school will that make lua easier
yes
i love pecks
I will into it on the DevForums, thank you for helping!
- thank you again

Oh
can they increase the editableimage size limit and give us emissive maps for ugc already it's killing me
the engineers took multiple years to add scaling to UIStrokes
It'll be a while before these happen
just react to stuff loading in and out like via events or tags
And also make sure u understand that everything in the game is immediately loaded in anyways when you join, only have to wait for things that server instantiated after that point(stuff like resources in rep storage etc) as well as anything in workspace not taking into account streaming rules
in what world could this ever be more efficient
if i were a shareholder i'd be PISSED
Idk how knowledgeable shareholders are in regards to this
Who does scripts or builds?
My game always spawns me in with R15, even tho my games avatar settings have been set to purely R6, not R15 or Playerchoice. This completely makes my R6 animations useless, does anybody have a fix for it?
if youre wanting to hire, #marketplace-info
make sure youre setting it here
Ok, I will, I was looking for help...
I wanted to learn to script and build.
ah i see
Is that in the avatar tab?
yes
here are some resources to get started with scripting:

np
Been sitting around for the past 3 hours trying to find out where to fix it lol
guys
what us this
You do scripts?
No im a total beginner
Same.
why your bio say "Roblox Builder, Manager, UI creator, Marketer and Tester." 😭
I do those.
Maybe not testing.
Ops.
UI creator?
Kind of.
wanna learn scripting?
You script?
i do
DM.
K
would it be advisable to use OOP for managing stuff like character health?
Who can send good plugins that are free for my fighting game pls
plugins assist with development, not making niches like that
good luck on finding something
i think you mean a framework?
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/25-wcs-a-combat-system-framework/2843521
⚔ WCS - A combat system framework WCS is a handy framework that provides useful abstraction for your combat systems. It allows you to create any kind of combat system with ease, providing tools and covering basic and tedious stuff, like replication, skill creation, side effects, requests to server. WCS is made utilizing Typescript and compil...
What's this
its a combat framework,it has things that make it easier for you to code your combat game
but it doesnt just instantly make you a fighting game
What do I do
How many hours per day/week do y'all think is enough for learning luau and hopefully do commissions?
can js reading the roblox documentation be a good way of learning scripting?
Try not to target a number of hours; learn what works for your attention and retenion span
i optimized the first z buffer pass. it still isnt perfect for smaller/ thinner triangles but at least its fast
thats dope how did u make that
But the problem is that I'm a highschool student so I have to manage between studies and Roblox
even if its one to ten lines just try to code a little everyday but just dont burn yourself out
I started when I was 9
Alright
I didn't 😭
i probably started at 10 or 11
Studied all through compulsory education. Now I work as a software developer on Roblox in college
it'll compound over time just be patient
i mostly referenced this tutorial series for the engine and used canvas draw for the display https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ih20l3pJoeU
This video is part #1 of a new series where I construct a 3D graphics engine from scratch. I start at the beginning, setting up the project, then discuss vertices and triangles. Next a description of how 3D coordinates are converted into on-screen 2D coordinates using a projection matrix. This results in seeing a cube being rotated in 2-axis and...
cool thats dope
Are you able to make a good living off it?
It's my full time job
Just bought a trip to Japan
Good to know
Wohooo dang
wait thats dope how long are you going to be staying there and r you going w/ friends or fam
3 weeks. I'm going with my partner
on or for?
nice 
Technically both
The studio I work for gets contracts with Roblox
sick
Amazing
Point is, if you lock in, anything's possible 💪
But it relies on you taking your goal seriously
yea for sure
I've had mates make it big from throwaway projects, and now they spend days working on updates
The priority shift is huge
understandable
unbeknownst
hi
hi
Whats ur major?
findfirstchildofclass is the exact classname and findfirstwhichisa is any class that is of the same relevance of what you have set
findfirstchildwhichisa: basepart (only basepart)
findfirstchildofclass (part, meaning can be mesh part union etc)
does anyone need an Ιnvestor? dm me Just so you know right now i am on an alt account
you can't have a instance with classname basepart
here, check it out yourself ```local part = workspace:FindFirstChildOfClass("Part")
print("OfClass BasePart:", workspace:FindFirstChildOfClass("BasePart"))
print("WhichIsA BasePart:", workspace:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("BasePart"))```
any tips chat am trynna create a duel game
whats ur skill anyway
building

@grim rampart this is sown alt I think
Hello everyone!
I am Looking for an experienced Unreal Engine mod developer for a Borderlands 3 project.
Need help with skill tree modification and gameplay scripting (modifying FL4K abilities to match a different playstyle).
Must have experience with game logic/scripting, not just 3D or visual mods.
If you can can handle the project kindly dm me!
What software?
Roblox is a game platform
🙄
xd
does anybody know if theres a plugin or just some way i can use moon animator 2 files to animate stuff besides rigs and then transform the animated parts, effects, properties, etc. into a script i can use for ingame things?
The badge must be throwing an error instead of awarding. Wrap it in pcall and retry awards.
On my dead opps
Even then, it's not always 100%, especially if the game was already out
Even on my games it's not 100% for whatever reason
You're so smart
does anyone know?
its 100% on mine
Interesting, Slap Battles doesn't have 100%
how is it 9.9% 
No idea
We've talked with Roblox and they don't know either
It might be a Roblox bug, we're still trying to find out
i think it's also an issue w roblox's percentage calculation
but only those w access to their api source would really know, ig
Mhm
Have u ever been to RDC?
its an issue with roblox percentage calcuations and some badges giving requests failing
the percentage shit doesnt even matter anyways its prolly gonna get removed sometime soon
roblox should defo do more with badges tho
using packets and i sometimes get
ReplicatedStorage.Communication.packet.Types:67: invalid argument #3 to 'writeu8' (number expected, got nil) - Client - Types:67
on the client:
local pos = cam.CFrame.Position
local lv = cam.CFrame.LookVector
pickup:Fire(pos, lv)
dont think the declartion is wrong either( local pickup = packet("PickUp", packet.Vector3F32, packet.Vector3F32))
it only sometimes happens though, sometimes it doesnt happen sometimes it does happen?
server is doing the same btw local pickup = packet("PickUp", packet.Vector3F32, packet.Vector3F32)
pickup.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr :Player, pos, lv)
i mean show me Vector3F32
nowhere lol
nvm
local toggle = packet("thistogglessomethingidk", packet.Boolean8, packet.String)
local HP = packet("HP", packet.Buffer)
local gamestate = packet("GameState", packet.Buffer)
local Inventory = packet("Inventory", packet.Buffer)
local use = packet("Use", packet.Vector3F32, packet.Vector3F32, packet.Boolean8, packet.Boolean8)
local buy = packet("Buy", packet.String)
local pickup = packet("PickUp", packet.Vector3F32, packet.Vector3F32)
local equipped = packet("equipped", packet.Instance, packet.Boolean8)```
Could camera not exist or has been changed?
nope i have a nil check
Looking for a scripter (paid position)
• Pay: 30k per week + 15% game revenue share
• Requirement: At least 1+ year of experience
• Availability: 4–5 hours of work per day
I’m currently working on a game called “Dream a Brainrot” and need help with scripting.
If you’re interested, please DM me.
plus lv and stuff
this is a topic for #advanced-code
its not nil
a topic for what exactly
do this
:Fire(pos, lv, true)
does this fix your issue
🤣 🤣
if thats gonna fix it im gonna fucking cry
zawg nobody talks here 🤣
what could it be
oh
.
this guy probably solved it for you
holy
Then just do nothing on server if nil
uhhh where?
I think you can just do packet.vectortype?
nope
send me the module
That error is very vauge
Just add traceback or more information to error
idk how tbh
oh is it the ddos thing
Have you checked dev form for packet to see if anyone else had that error
your packet module is global
Are there unreliable remotes for packet?
yuh iirc
boi
your packet system has no queue
just add one yourself to your own code
using cashboys queue module number 3
what does that even mean 😭
🥺
Don't think that will fix issue tho
add one
wont fix it tho yea
nah it will
genuinely never had this shit happen lmao
removed one of the things
ReplicatedStorage.Communication.packet.Types:74: buffer access out of bounds (x5) - Server - packet:300
thats fun
oh my stupid ass
didnt define a type correctly
wow
i see
if you
print the position and lookvector
are they both valid during the invalid one

How does one get invited to RDC even
Roblox just picks people?
They prob must have some sort of special relationship with Roblox I’m assuming
Really big game, or worked with on events
Did they pick ten and he just brought the rest of the gang lol
No we all got invited
I've been getting invited every year since RDC 21
I'm part of first wave invites
whats the favor?
Oh, fire
Who’s ur fav person u met there 🥹
Not in ur dev team
Does digital attendance have like the same requirements and
Sb is so peak
