[zenith wyvern]

ok answer

frontend of combat systems clarify further

[mossy lynx]

hit effects

Visuals with the knockback

[zenith wyvern]

you send a event to the clients telling them that x player was hit and to play the hit vfx on said perosn

[mossy lynx]

yeah Ik

Idk how to do stuff like camera shake

[zenith wyvern]

change the cameras orientation randomly

[mossy lynx]

And a lot of the time it looks bad when I do it that’s why I wanna learn

[zenith wyvern]

then keep practicing

and stop usnig AI its not helping you

[mossy lynx]

that’s why I’m tryna learn

[zenith wyvern]

i can't really teach you how to do that stuff its just intuitive

i specialize in frontend scripting and its just finetuning and intuition

[zinc loom]

You should offset the cameras cframe

If you would like an example script id be happy to show u

[zenith wyvern]

that also works but it has a weird effect sometimes from what i remember

[mossy lynx]

Tryna show me some code then

[zenith wyvern]

no?

me showing you code is not going to teach you anyways

the learning process is figuring how to code it yourself

[mossy lynx]

sure, I js meant to make it look good Ik how to do it but how do I do it so it’s like good combat games

[mossy lynx]

So how tf am I gonna learn

[zenith wyvern]

by dong it

literally just keep doing it

[mossy lynx]

Ru dum?

[zinc loom]

Ill show you a simple camera shake script im just loading up roblox studio

[mossy lynx]

I wanna see th code so I can learn

I will read it and learn

[zenith wyvern]

its not going to teach you anything

no you wont youre just going to try to steal it and not understand how to use it

[mossy lynx]

really

[zinc loom]

If he can understand it then it will help him

like he said hes trying to read it and learn

[mossy lynx]

why would I try an learn frontend then

Ru dum bro u think I can’t code

[zenith wyvern]

you are calling me stupid when..

• you need ai to code
• you are asking to learn from me

[zenith wyvern]

he actively doesnt know how a function works

[mossy lynx]

I don’t need ai to code

[zenith wyvern]

i dont think hes going to understand it

[mossy lynx]

I said I learned th basics from ai

Ask me a question rn

[zenith wyvern]

what are arguments

and what are parameters

[mossy lynx]

Values

[zenith wyvern]

wrong

[mossy lynx]

passed through

yes they are kid

u pass values into a function and the arguments have the value

[zenith wyvern]

ok what are parameters

[silent summit]

What's happening here?

[zenith wyvern]

value is not the right term here

[zinc loom]

I cant post images here

[mossy lynx]

u right ngl

[zenith wyvern]

guy is trying to ask me for my code to "understand frontend dev" betetr and im saying he wouldnt understand it because hes a skid

not skid

[mossy lynx]

I’m not lmao

[zinc loom]

Here: local function CreateCameraShake(duration: number, intensity: number)
local startTimer = tick()
local connection

connection = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(deltaTime)
    local elapsed = tick() - startTimer

    if elapsed > duration then
        (connection :: RBXScriptConnection):Disconnect()
        return
    end

    local fade = 1 - (elapsed / duration)

    local shakeOffset = Vector3.new(
        rng:NextNumber(-1, 1),
        rng:NextNumber(-1, 1),
        rng:NextNumber(-1, 1)
    ) * intensity * fade

    local baseCF = camera.CFrame
    camera.CFrame = baseCF * CFrame.new(shakeOffset)
end)

end
a simple camera shake

[zenith wyvern]

but he doesnt understand coding

[mossy lynx]

I do bud

[silent summit]

Larp?

[zenith wyvern]

this looks like AI

[zinc loom]

Call it like thi CreateCameraShake(.25, .5)

Its not

I made a rock debris module

[mossy lynx]

watch dm me and I’ll show u sum code I js wrote yesterday in 20 mins

[zenith wyvern]

what is rng:NextNumber

[mossy lynx]

When I get home

[zenith wyvern]

just post it here

[mossy lynx]

I’m not home

But dm me and I will show I

[silent summit]

rng = Random.new()

[mossy lynx]

U and explain it all

[silent summit]

Random.new():NextNumber

I think

[zinc loom]

yo i sent u it

[mossy lynx]

thanks

[zenith wyvern]

https://medal.tv/games/roblox-studio/clips/mteH3vcAQrREyGBCm?invite=cr-MSxPS2gsNTk3ODA1MTU3&v=8

[mossy lynx]

Dm me it I’ll look at it later

[zinc loom]

Yeh i declared local rng = Random.new()

[silent summit]

Looks great bro

[zinc loom]

nice

like bro im not dumb you call me dumb when u dont even understand anything

[mossy lynx]

sure bud

What ur saying is dumb

I never said u can’t code

[zenith wyvern]

no bro youre just a larp

[mossy lynx]

U think I can’t code tho lmao when I can

[zenith wyvern]

you use AI to code and its sad

[zenith wyvern]

ok what is a pcall

what do you use pcall for

[mossy lynx]

when did I say tht

Protected call

Makes sure code don’t error

[zenith wyvern]

why shouldnt you use buffers

should*

especially with numbers

[mossy lynx]

using it to safely do datastores

[zenith wyvern]

yeah youre a larp bro

[mossy lynx]

Nah don’t know that off the top of my head rh

[zenith wyvern]

LMAO

[mossy lynx]

yeah sure

I missed one thing u want me to know everything bout luau

[zenith wyvern]

you missed two things

[mossy lynx]

I didn’t

Pcall was right

[zenith wyvern]

pcall(), parameters, arguments, and buffers

[mossy lynx]

I got all those besides buffers

[zenith wyvern]

pcalls do more then just make sure a code doesnt error

you didnt even tell me parameters

[mossy lynx]

Well it’s a protective call

[zenith wyvern]

ok whats a corountine

[mossy lynx]

Ik what it does

[strange herald]

what does skid even mean btw?

[fickle epoch]

yo whats the difference between scripting and programming

[strange herald]

nobody knows

[gaunt sphinx]

Anybody got a good plugin for finding my scripts? Or how I can find all scripts easily? If I forget the name and location of a script, it takes me like 5 minutes to search around for it...

[zenith wyvern]

larp

[strange herald]

oh alr

tysm

[zenith wyvern]

there isnt one and anyone who gets a hissy fit over it is larping

[main flower]

Coroutine gang not corountine 😭

[zenith wyvern]

i dont care bro roblox spells it gay anyways

[main flower]

Thats how its spelt everywhere

[zenith wyvern]

have a actually good architecturally designed gmae

[zenith wyvern]

shut up bro i hate how its spelled everywhere

fancy ass word for nothing

[gaunt sphinx]

You're just a ball of sunshine huh?

[zenith wyvern]

yes i am

its true though

also ctrl + f i think still works

[main flower]

This guys gotta be under 15

[zenith wyvern]

no im above it actually

[cinder turret]

[zenith wyvern]

this is cool

[gaunt sphinx]

mysterious pink cylindar

[main flower]

You can try -script in the explorer

It shows all scripts in your place

You can filter it too but ion remember how

is:ModuleScript in explorer

[gaunt sphinx]

thank god, this is what i've been looking for. is:

[main flower]

xd just dump your scripts in folders and subfolders if you wanna keep an organised track

[gaunt sphinx]

I like to have the scripts as children of whatever they're acting on, hence why I lose them sometimes

but yeah, a scripts folder would be smart

[mossy lynx]

how do u do this

keep a notepad of the stuff tho

[regal salmon]

ctrl + shift + f 🤔

[mossy lynx]

on ly finds keywordsa

n ot the actual script name

[regal salmon]

yeah but you can use that to find the script

[mossy lynx]

I lowkey used this method before tho to force spawn brainrots in a random file, it is good but takes time

[regal salmon]

you can assume they atleast have a vague idea of the contents of the script

[mossy lynx]

so its not the best

[regal salmon]

so you can search for some of the code and find it that way

you could also use the searchbar in the explorer and do like is:Script or is:LocalScript or something so you get easier access to scripts

[mossy lynx]

oh fr never knew bout thios

[minor meteor]

nvm

i gocode help

[gaunt sphinx]

The guy above helped. If you put is:script into the explorer search, it shows all scripts

[mint ice]

yall got other server that give comms

[mossy lynx]

are u lookimg for coms

[still spire]

Last day for eg guys, tath's very sad

[mossy lynx]

nooo

[mint ice]

yea my friend is

[mossy lynx]

I’ll hire fr scripted?

Scripter?

[mint ice]

yuh

[mossy lynx]

tell him to dm me

I am a scripter too but I could use help cus I’m a solo dev

[onyx swallow]

wha

[glossy slate]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/94SAGS-5J1Y

[faint plume]

Isn’t it IsA:(script)

[regal salmon]

i think youre thinking of code

[faint plume]

Yeah

[regal salmon]

this is the explorer search bar im talking about

[faint plume]

This isn’t code?

[faint plume]

Oh nvm

Your right then

[regal salmon]

you can search for specific types

[faint plume]

Yeah just search for class name

[regal salmon]

also itd be :IsA("Script")

[faint plume]

Classname: Script

Classname: Part

[glossy slate]

what if its not a script

[faint plume]

Etc

Then you can still use class and

Classname

To find what your looking for

Not that hard

Ngl

Do people even hire scripters anymore?

[regal salmon]

the humble #scripter-hiring :

[faint plume]

No

I’m saying in general

[regal salmon]

yeah

[faint plume]

Because of how many ai scripters they are out there

[regal salmon]

if theyre not making a slop game especially

[faint plume]

Ah okay

Novinity

Mind doing me a favor and I don’t say this in a manner of trying to be rude

Or trying to judge you

But you can please bring complaints to staff

There was three instances where mods were NOT available

even though there is 125+ mods

[regal salmon]

wdym?

[glossy slate]

i think

[faint plume]

There was several instances where I would use mod calls for situations that should’ve been handled immediately yet we wait 30 mins and no mods or admins or staff shows up.

For example:

There was one guy who went to an adult video site in VC (I called 3 times) showing furry nsfw videos and sharing this to kids for at least a good 30-50 minutes. NOT A single staff or admin or mod had shown up to handle this situation mind you kids where in side of this call. (Our jobs as adults are to protect these kids)

Another example is when a kid was showing a video of Jeffery eps and I still called three times for a mod to handle the situation and Nothing happened he was also being racist.

And last but not least I got scammed recently and no scam investigation had occurred yet even though I made a ticket

@regal salmon

And yes there was multiple people there in the vc and not even a day later the guy joined back ( the guy who was sharing furry nsfw)

Idk to me it’s like why have 125+ staff if not even a single one is available at any moment

Epically when things like this can occur

[regal salmon]

unfortunately i don't have any control over any of this, i'm not a moderator, can't perform moderation actions, nor do i really have a direct line of communication with moderators outside of general staff chats
i report people the exact same way as everyone else
i do understand your concern, i've experienced these same delays, however it's unrealistic to expect moderators to be online and actively moderating constantly
it's a discord server and we don't get paid to be staff members
this is the type of thing you should complain in a ticket about so that all the seniors/management can view it and make the appropriate decision

[faint plume]

Why is it unrealistic if there’s 125+ staff onboard with your guys team

[regal salmon]

not all staff are moderators

there's many departments

[faint plume]

But they’re still staff

You guys can def have some type of reach to get a situation thats dire desclated

[regal salmon]

and only moderators have the ability to view moderation related things such as modcalls, user reports, etc

[faint plume]

Just like koi is a mod and she was in vc watching a guy named Austin getting bullied for about 25 mins yet sat there and did nothing

[regal salmon]

and scam department are the only ones who can view scam tickets

[regal salmon]

so we don't know these things are happening unless we're pinged or already there

[faint plume]

So there’s no chat that staff can’t get in touch with admins or mods if anything dire was happening

[regal salmon]

if that's true then you should report them with a staff report

[faint plume]

I would if I had the recording

But anyways

[regal salmon]

not specifically moderators, staff chats do exist but even so we can't guarantee they'll respond if they're already not looking at reports

[faint plume]

My point is why have so many staff if none of them are on stand by

Even if it’s not a mod another mod can be online and still be doing absolutely nothing

[faint plume]

Well that’s apart of the job no? To moderate safety

[regal salmon]

like i said, this is a discord server and this is volunteer work, people have lives outside of this
and being online on discord doesnt necessarily mean they're online, a device could have been left on or they could be afk

[faint plume]

Well then they shouldn’t sign up for something that can actively be apart of. I could see if it was one situation but it’s multiple

[glossy slate]

hey guys we can call a trusted trusted adult to sort things out right ? (whos with me?)

[faint plume]

If they know they can’t juggle work or life atm while trying to protect a community then step down it serves no good purpose if you can’t juggle both

(Also I understand cause I’m also a game owner have been part of mutiple discord staff teams)

[regal salmon]

they work when they're available

[uncut marlin]

how long do u think it takes a complete begginner to achieve complete fluency over luau?

[regal salmon]

we have quotas to meet and evidently they're meeting them

or they would have been removed by now

[faint plume]

Not from recent complaints from not only me but other people

[regal salmon]

what their quotas are, i do not know

[regal salmon]

all reports ive sent have been handled within 12-24 hours

[uncut marlin]

oh theres a conflict

[faint plume]

Well that’s you your a good one out of the few

But others

They’ll sit on they’re ass and do nothing

[regal salmon]

it depends on the person and how you're approaching learning

[faint plume]

And it’s not just me saying it/seeing it

[faint plume]

Also this not to bash you but people who know they could be helping with the server in their free time. (I can see if it was one instance but it’s mutiple and there’s not only one moderator in the server)

[regal salmon]

i agree that there are some matters that should be handled quicker than they are, however i'm not really in a position to make any changes like that
who you should be complaining to is a senior, manager, or department leader
to name a few, @brave cairn @maiden blade @neon viper @tardy ivy @lost yoke

[faint plume]

Yeah understandable, I get that as well

Idk to me again my top priority is kids safety

Because at the end of the day that’s the people who are our future

[supple spindle]

sadly this is discord and no one can really prevent it except parents

however most of the time blame is shifted towards companies/workers when its just the parents being incompetent

[faint plume]

Exactly but the most we can do is try and protect them as much as we can

That’s why I try to do

[supple spindle]

yeah by telling parents how to parent

[faint plume]

Even though I know I can’t do much

[faint plume]

True enough

[supple spindle]

banning pdf files only works for at the moment, they can come back make a new account or do it on a different platform

but telling children to stay away from them will prevent any of these scenarios of pdf files getting kids

[faint plume]

It’s not even that it’s informing the kids that they are people here who will guide them and protect them

From people who bring them harm such as PDFs and etc

[supple spindle]

what do you mean by this exactly

i didnt quite understand what you tried to say

[faint plume]

Basically imagine that’s. PDF was in the vc

It’s the adult job to make sure that they’re removed

And informed them how harmful that person can be

And preventing that said person/ thing from presenting future harm

[supple spindle]

yeah obviously thats true however practically it never goes that way for alot of reasons, hence why educating children AND parents is the best things anyone can do

[faint plume]

That’s true

Yeah

[strange herald]

(not even a vent) bro why do people act like you have to give up your social life and spend 43 hours a day infront of a computer to learn scripting

[faint plume]

It’s because they don’t understand that luau is actually easy to learn if you put effort into it

They think it’s like reading the Minecraft enchantment table till they actually try

[supple spindle]

my parents are both very active online and now when i look back to see how they raised me compared to other kids in my age, i can really see that they truly understood every kind of danger. my parents made it even so clear to me that one time when i got lost somewhere, someone found me which i didnt knew so i refused to go with that person 😂

[uncut marlin]

Imo, luau is hard, but mostly because of the roblox built in API, not the syntax inherently

[supple spindle]

they told me to never share any important stuff with strangers in the internet because it could be a 60 year old grandpa and i wouldnt knew

[faint plume]

Isn’t luau roblox code engine

I might be wrong

[supple spindle]

yeah

[faint plume]

Then yeah that’s easy

[supple spindle]

but the engine itself is written in a different language

[faint plume]

Lu might be harder

Lua

[nimble flare]

u think its worth it to lean scripting for roblox?

im trynna learn rn but idk if i should keep going

[uncut marlin]

Eh, depends on what you deem as "harder", luau is significantly harder when it comes to overall syntax complexity. Im pretty sure most lua code still works with luau, so luau is just an lua + hundreads of events/additional API's. But, in terms of language complexity, i think lua is harder, cause you dont have hundreads of pre-built API's with pre-integrated with C++

[gaunt sphinx]

How powerful are exploiters? Can they basically do anything a localscript can do?

[uncut marlin]

Yea

[gaunt sphinx]

Even to the point of RemoteEvents and RemoteFunctions? And if so, how do I stop exploiters from completely controlling the game?

[uncut marlin]

Mhm, given that the server litsens to the client, yes, they can control how remote events and remote function. To prevent this, keep you logic for the server

For example, never allow the client to have the ability to send a remote event to the server giving the playe any amount of resource. Instead, have an event fire when a player does something, and on the server, check if they actually did it. As the server is aware of a player's action, you can have the server validate the request and provide the resource

[gaunt sphinx]

okay... I think I understand... I appreciate it, and yeah it makes sense. I'll have to rewrite a bunch of scripts lmao

[uncut marlin]

Mhm

[broken grove]

they can fire remotes with whatever data, but they cant send commands to do anything

only signals to the remotes

[uncut marlin]

yea, thats what i was tryna convey

[broken grove]

so as long as you don't let them do anything with that then they have zero power

[gaunt sphinx]

For example, I have a localscript that fires a remote. Then, a serverscript that creates an instance when it receives that remote.
In that current setup, the exploiter could simply fire the remote to essentially create that instance?

[broken grove]

yes

[uncut marlin]

Oh, and also, exploiters can pass any argument via remote events, so always use type checking to prevent the exploiter to crash yo stuff/a boolean logic to check if the argument is true

[uncut marlin]

Yea, instead of simply allowing the client to do that, check if they actually have the ability to do so

[gaunt sphinx]

So I'd need a check in-between that to make sure it was a legit localscript that fired the remote?? But how......

okay hmmm... i'll brainstorm

[broken grove]

limit the amount of requests, where the char has to be to make the request, who can make the request, etc

the first argument for fireserver OnServerEvent will always be the plr who fired it

afaia they cant change that much

[uncut marlin]

noob vs pro vs god

[broken grove]

so you can always validate who can send requests

[uncut marlin]

ahhh conversation

[gaunt sphinx]

okay wait i'm so dumb, my problem is so simple because I'm worried about lobby creation and lobby joining. I can just check if the player is already in the lobby, or already has a lobby, and if they do, then to ignore the remote.

[supple spindle]

ski bi di

[gaunt sphinx]

🤯

[uncut marlin]

Like a matchmaking game where they can create a party/joining a party and teleport them to a lobby? If so, just check their position or create a cache table

like, when the first remote comes to create a lobby, check a table on weather they are already in a lobby/joining a lobby, and if they're not, set it to true, and create the lobby

or check their position in the workspace

then, if they leave the game, go to their cache table with the key as their player.UserId and set it to nil so they can create a new lobby when they join again

[dull herald]

Sup chat

i do have a question

How long do i need to master coding? ik it depends upon person to person, but is that hard like modeling?

and what yall guys think about using ai for scripting?

[uncut marlin]

I think someone previously said it takes 6 months to achieve intermediate and a year or achieve an advanced mastery over scripting, though i think it usually takes 2 years to become an intermediate scripter and 3-4 to become advanced.

[uncut marlin]

Good, but dont purely rely on it, and have a pre-existing conceptual understanding of programming before using AI to assist with coding projects.

[dull herald]

thanks for giving your take to answer my question, and how do u feel about ai? how long its gonna take to become powerful enough to make a decent movement scripts

[dull herald]

so we do need to have a basic knowledge of scripting and a blue print right?

[uncut marlin]

AI is amazing. Once you have 6 months ish of scripting experience, i strongly recommend that you rely on AI code to optimize efficiency, though, dont just let it code everything for ya without you act knowing what the code does. For movement scripts, they take a lot of conceptual understanding of physics, linear algebra, and a solid understanding of luau's API's, so i'd say a year ish for a okay movement system ( given you priortize it, or maybe 3-6 months if you really grind it ), and 2-3 years to be able to apply it without trouble.

[uncut marlin]

Mhm, understanding modular architecture is a plus, knowing how to seperate logic to not make 1 singular script too big, understanding the use of folders, export typing, etc can really go a long way. But i wouldnt say "basic" knowledge of scripting, depends on what you think "basic" is.

Cause, if you're tryna make a physics-based game and you have no clue what linear algebra is, then you're most certainly gonna struggle.

Theres more to game developing than just luau when it comes to roblox. Calculus, linear algebra, discrete mathmetics, data and algorithms, trig are all extremely useful

[dull herald]

sounds cool to me, so im a modeler and builder and im thinking to get some knowledge of scripting bcz maybe in future ill make my own game so its cool to have knowledge of some stuff and dont completely relay on someone else and i can do inconter most of the things without struggling that much, so thats my main motive lol

[dull herald]

thanks mate ill do more reserach about it but atm im just getting some information before compeltely diving into it

wait lemme show u some of my work

[uncut marlin]

Hm, that sounds amazing. If you are getting into scripting, my recomended method would be to quickly skim through the docs to develop an elementary understanding of luau's basic syntax and just go to the studio and mess around a bit to catch up on the properties of it, and refrence the doc whenever you can. Then, make a goal, say, building a small simulator, open AI, and ask it for assitance with certain things you may be new to. Like, understanding raycasting, skim through the docs, then ask AI for any assitance with any grey areas. Personally, i dont find learning from youtube videos effective, but it defeneitly depends on your learning type.

[uncut marlin]

damnnn, nice

[uncut marlin]

then, a month in, skim through github, and try to refine your coding skills, as you'll catch on some patterns from developers who have been programming for years, so understanding how to format your coding and optimize stuff is always a +

Following that, i think you could make a solid game if you dedicate 4 hours a day in 6 months

[dull herald]

im not gonna make whole game myself entirely, but yeah ill start consuming some more information, so incase if i do start working on my own game in future so i dont have to struggle that much and i can also understand the prices and complexicity and other stuff lol

[uncut marlin]

Ohhhh, okay, that sounds cool

[dull herald]

thanks again for giving your productive time to answer my questions

[uncut marlin]

Np, good luck with learning luau

[dull herald]

im not gonna start learning that rn, im just getting some info lol, maybe ill start learning in a year or maybe even more lol

[uncut marlin]

Oh, nice

[sharp nacelle]

how do i send a notpad looking thing of code?

i wanna show my creation

without just pasting it in normaly

yippee i did it

my creation

it turns a light on

and you have to wait 5 seconds before you can click the switch again

then it turns off :>

[worldly spear]

Good j*b

[sharp nacelle]

thx and thx for the censor

now i gotta make things move which ive never been good at

[cyan lantern]

fantastic

[sharp nacelle]

i have made a tween work guys im awesome sauce

[cyan lantern]

fantastic

[sharp nacelle]

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local goal = {}
goal.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(5)

local tween = tweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, goal)

wait(10)
tween:Play()```

[cyan lantern]

astronomical

[sharp nacelle]

it just changes a colour but atleast i know how it works

first part is the object thats going to change info is how long it will take and goal it what is going to change

[blazing coral]

youi can add easing style and etc

[sharp nacelle]

yea

[blazing coral]

but not for changing colors

[sharp nacelle]

i just use the documentation and make smth

ile make smth move next

[faint plume]

Horrible fucking advice

Just wait for the day where you can’t use ai

[sharp nacelle]

real u use ai to help you learn in the beginning then once you understand what to do it becomes easier to write the code you need to

and dont use it for everything since it still gets it wrong sometimes

[faint plume]

Thank you someone fucking gets it

Only use it if your first starting out

And even then I would still say yes use Roblox documentation

[sharp nacelle]

yea thats what i do just read what things do and try and use them for something

like rn im playing around with tweens so i understand how to fully use them

[faint plume]

I been trying to learn tweens but for some reason I can’t understand it

[sharp nacelle]

i can change the colour of smth

[faint plume]

That’s it

You don’t need tween for that

[sharp nacelle]

im doing moving next

[faint plume]

Just use changed event

[sharp nacelle]

its like a fade tho

[faint plume]

Wym fade

[sharp nacelle]

like the block is white then fades to red

not just an instant

[faint plume]

Show if possible

I didn’t know you can use tweens for colors

That’s insane

[sharp nacelle]

this the script ```local part = script.Parent
local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local goal = {}
goal.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(5)

local tween = tweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, goal)

wait(10)
tween:Play()```

pretty easy to understand

part is what you are changing

tweeninfo is how long it takes to change

then goal is what we are changing stuff to

so for this the goal is to change the colour to red

[craggy rune]

does anyone have a template for a shop

[sharp nacelle]

but this is just for changing a colour its a bit diffrent for moving a part but its pretty simillar

[craggy rune]

doesnt tween like remove or add parts in a smooth way

[sharp nacelle]

it does many things

[craggy rune]

aight

[sharp nacelle]

just depends what you need

[craggy rune]

bro how do i make a shop

i need help wit that

[sharp nacelle]

tbh i didnt know it can change colours till i read it

[craggy rune]

can u help me with that

[sharp nacelle]

you make a hitbox that opens up a screen gui

[solemn berry]

yo guys

[craggy rune]

[solemn berry]

friend

[sharp nacelle]

rip

[solemn berry]

maybe not friend

[craggy rune]

rip

[solemn berry]

anymore

but like i tried retrieving it

it wont work

[sharp nacelle]

clip of it working yes i showed off my light thing too it has a 10 second delay beofre you can click it again

[solemn berry]

Like theres history of the same game same map but the code is not there

[sharp nacelle]

https://medal.tv/games/roblox-studio/clips/mC40oSctXvQ44lZPM?invite=cr-MSwxS0QsMzU1MjA1MTU2&v=10

forgot to send the clip in the message lol

[craggy rune]

w

[sharp nacelle]

i think moving is literally adding 1 thing to the goal??

[craggy rune]

ethan can u dm me and teach me smth

[sharp nacelle]

im not very good at coding just so yk im just playing around with stuff

[craggy rune]

yeah but ur better than me gng

[sharp nacelle]

idk im just giving it a go lwk just trying stuff and if it dont work try it again or ask for help here

and yes making the part move is just adding 1 thing to my old code

fire

[faint plume]

How long you been coding for @sharp nacelle

[sharp nacelle]

not very long i tried doing it ages ago but got nowhere

[faint plume]

Btw

[sharp nacelle]

like a couple weeks maybe but i just do it for fun

[faint plume]

You could’ve achieved the same thing

[sharp nacelle]

when i can be bothered losing my mind

[faint plume]

With a change event

[sharp nacelle]

what?

[faint plume]

Oh wait nevermind

It’s fading

So it does require a tween

[sharp nacelle]

ye

[faint plume]

Why not use a for loop

It can also fade objects

[sharp nacelle]

idk becuase im messing around with tweens

[faint plume]

Where did you learn teens

teens

Tweens

From documentation?

[sharp nacelle]

yea

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

literaly just the first box

omg i switched my light to using a tween colour change it looks so much better

[faint plume]

Let me see

Also

[sharp nacelle]

local globeSL = script.Parent.Globe.SpotLight
local debounce = false

local goal1 = {}
goal1.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)

local goal2 = {}

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.5)

local tween1 = tweenService:Create(globe, tweenInfo, goal1)
local tween2 = tweenService:Create(globe, tweenInfo, goal2)

Light.LightSwitch.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    if debounce == false then
        if Activated == false then
            debounce = true
            globe.Material = "Neon"
            tween1:Play()
            wait (0.5)
            globeSL.Enabled = true
            Activated = true
            delay(5, function()
                debounce = false
            end)
        elseif Activated == true then
            debounce = true
            globe.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
            globeSL.Enabled = false
            tween2:Play()
            wait (0.5)
            Activated = false
            delay(5, function()
                debounce = false
            end)
        end
    else 
        
    end
end)```

[faint plume]

The way Roblox words things are so odd

[sharp nacelle]

this the code

[faint plume]

Like wtf is an interlopation

[sharp nacelle]

lemme get clip rq ile show difference from what i had

local Activated = false
local globe = script.Parent.Globe
local globeSL = script.Parent.Globe.SpotLight
local debounce = false

Light.LightSwitch.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    if debounce == false then

            debounce = true
            globe.Material = "Neon"
            globe.Color = Color3.fromRGB(71, 71, 71)
            wait (0.1)
            globe.Color = Color3.fromRGB(122, 122, 122)
            wait (0.1)
            globe.Color = Color3.fromRGB(188, 188, 188)

            end)
        end
    else 
        
    end
end)``` old script

so much more work for no reason

[faint plume]

I hate how overly worded Roblox makes everything

[sharp nacelle]

https://medal.tv/games/roblox-studio/clips/mC4nAiTawX3kYZkLx?invite=cr-MSxZaEosMzU1MjA1MTU2&v=13

it is so much smoother then before

which is literaly what i was looking for i just didnt know how to do it

[faint plume]

Why not just write a function

[sharp nacelle]

for what

[faint plume]

This makes this code reuseable and better to read lowk

[sharp nacelle]

it is reusable

all the parts are inside the same model

[faint plume]

No not like that

Like if you wanted to require it anywhere else you could

Basically

[sharp nacelle]

what make it easier to add more lights

i mean at most its going to be 2 lights im gonna try and make my own fully working headlight system

becuae the stuff i want just doesnt work from toolbox

it does sometimes but theres erros and im not fixing allat

[uncut marlin]

Its much more efficient to code a small service or acquire recomendations from claude compared to manually doing so? Im not saying to completely rely on it, and if you actually read my messages, you'd have seen that i mostly recommended the uses of documents and external sources like github?

AI can be both useful during the elementary, intermediate, and advanced stages of coding, its just that its place in the coding shifts drastically depending on your current level.

how do i change the Y value in a velocity of a bv thats using lookvector as the direction

[versed arch]

upvector

[versed arch]

roblox also doesn't explain everything in-depth (so

i've tried to like, figure out what one thing does

and there's just almost no info to it

it sucks because then you have to know beforehand what that thing does to understand it

[faint plume]

That’s why there’s an order to it

[ember nimbus]

interpolate
inter "between"
polate, derived from polire, latin for "smooth"

"smooth in between"

[faint plume]

If a dumb ass was to read that text I WOULD not know what Ts meant

[ember nimbus]

interpolate is a standard term in modern mathematical use

[faint plume]

I don’t use it

Cause I don’t do math like that

I know how to do math tho

[hasty mesa]

extrapolate

[ember nimbus]

smoothly produce more

probably

or outside

smoothly extend

[lost pebble]

fyi:

• elseif Activated == true then is redundant since the only other possible value of a boolean is true once it's evaluated to not be false. you can just replace it with a else
• wait() is deprecated and is replaced with task.wait()
• making a new thread with delay is also redundant since each event call is already running on it's own thread. you can just replace it with task.wait()
  • not to mention delay is deprecated and is replaced by task.delay()
• no need for an else if nothing is going to be done (last one)

[latent stump]

does anyone have like a walkthrough on how does EditableMesh and EditableImages work

[sharp nacelle]

Yea it auto filled to elseif idk why

[lost pebble]

turn off the ai assist if you dont want that

[sharp nacelle]

It's helpful sometimes but ither times its in the way ima just leave it on for noe since I'm still working out how to do stuff

[versed arch]

dont rely on autofill

it sucks

[lost pebble]

i personally hate it. i already have an idea what to write, it gives me a suggestion, then it breaks my train of thought from me reading it

[sharp nacelle]

im having an error with the orientation it says their is no property named orientaion when its a part so idk

[dusky relic]

Needs to be capital O

[sharp nacelle]

of cause it does opps

it works sorta lol

...

ik the problem its fine

[dusky relic]

what are you trying to do?

[sharp nacelle]

make a light switch

i accidentaly took away a valye so it set it to 0

perfect

[dusky relic]

Why tween it though

[dusky relic]

Light switches technically instant

[sharp nacelle]

why not tween it

it looks cool

this was it before

How does one acquire someone to collab with 🫩

[whole bobcat]

hi im a new scripter and was wondering how i should go about it and learn it i watch sum yt vids and i understand it but i dont know how to pu it in a script or game

[finite temple]

i genuinely dont remember how i met the dude i work with , he just always hits me up when he wants to work together and its been like that for years now

it just happens i suppose

[spiral gulch]

I lowk just wanna find an animator and scripter so we can do group collabs for movesets from games like WuWa

[finite temple]

whats wuwa

[spiral gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/opinion-opinion-rejected-wuwa-jinshi-wuwa-wuthering-waves-gif-2000773990288140085

This game

Wuthering waves

It’s like an infinitely better version of Genshin

[finite temple]

im surprised ive never heard of it

[spiral gulch]

It’s a little smaller

Primarily because it’s the newest gacha

Besides the one that just came out 3 days ago

I have a couple ideas of who I could collab with but

A tad unreliable

[finite temple]

story of my life

[exotic phoenix]

You can’t expect someone to be there constantly if you’re not paying them or providing anything of value in exchange for their time

[spiral gulch]

Thats what a collab is

[exotic phoenix]

Incorrect

[spiral gulch]

You don’t pay people you collab with sir

[exotic phoenix]

Then you shouldn’t expect reliability

Obviously it varies from person to person

But if you’re collabing with someone you always need to be ahead of them

Know the next move, break down the necessary tasks etc

[spiral gulch]

I just have to wait for my bf to get a PC cause then he can script but that’s gonna be awhile 🫩

I’ve already got a decently reliable animator

[exotic phoenix]

You need to do something to show you’re putting in extra effort just to keep them working

[exotic phoenix]

I just do everything on my own

coding, animating building

Vfx/SFX

[spiral gulch]

Yeah im not willing to learn scripting

[finite temple]

what do u do

[exotic phoenix]

Well then you’re choosing to face the pain of staying the same

[spiral gulch]

Everything but scripting

I kid you not

There isn’t a single skill I don’t have besides scripting

[finite temple]

im a one trick pony over here

[exotic phoenix]

Scripting is crucial

if you can’t script you can’t make a game

[sharp nacelle]

if u got all the other ones u can learn scripting

im a builder and i have know idea how to script but im getting somewhere

[spiral gulch]

Fair but how am I gonna balance 15 commissions daily with learning scripting

While being a student

[sharp nacelle]

yes

[spiral gulch]

“Yes”

Very helpful thank you

I’ve been enlightened

[exotic phoenix]

Thats for you to figure out

[slate plinth]

scriptings easy bro

[exotic phoenix]

What did you expect

A babysitter?

[slate plinth]

just start

[spiral gulch]

If the shoe fits

[exotic phoenix]

and keep doing it

[sharp nacelle]

yea thats what i doing once u work out wht smth does its pretty easy to use it again

[spiral gulch]

I’ll script for 1 week and if I do decent then I GUESS I’ll dedicate more time 🫩

[exotic phoenix]

Cecil know whats up

[finite temple]

code = work
game = fun
money = yes

[exotic phoenix]

yup

[exotic phoenix]

local hacker = ban

[spiral gulch]

Would you guys consider it the hardest task or no

[finite temple]

no but im inherently bias because its all i can do

[spiral gulch]

Builder and terrain editor only took like 3 days total

[finite temple]

it might be the most time consuming part

[spiral gulch]

Vfx took about 2 weeks

Graphics took a month

And animator took like a couple hours

[finite temple]

local bugs = none

[sharp nacelle]

local banana = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent

[exotic phoenix]

I learnt all the skills I have because of how fun the things I wanna make are

[sharp nacelle]

are the just invis parts with ui on them?

[exotic phoenix]

precisely

depends which one tho

its a mix

[sharp nacelle]

i mean if i was trying to do that thats probably what i would do

[exotic phoenix]

Well I actually wanted to make a forum UI but I could not do that

but the end result turned out nicely if you take into consideration the idea of my game

question for experienced fullstack scripters that have gotten several commissions, what would the average price for a full state machine, rollback netcode and ability system for an ambitious fighting game prototype be? not trying to hire anyone just looking for a rough estimate (in dollars)

[frosty sierra]

does anyone a website or something like that so i can improve my problem solving and improve

[frosty sierra]

200 dollars (i am not a full stack dev or highly experienced but i would take atleast this much)

[finite temple]

leetcode

[frosty sierra]

let me try

[finite temple]

codewars

[frosty sierra]

does these have luau as a option

[finite temple]

to be honest i dont know

[frosty sierra]

👍

[uncut nest]

no luau

but they have vanilla lua

[frosty sierra]

yh

[uncut nest]

afaik

[frosty sierra]

i am using it rn

[wanton pecan]

The pricing on commission greatly depends on reputation.
If you're a beginner scripter taking his first commission, you might get paid 50-100 bucks depending on the quality and time it takes you.
While a reputable scripter with say 5 years of experience, could take 500 bucks for it (again, depending on quality and speed).

[uncut nest]

does years of experience matter?

[wanton pecan]

Well, would you pay an intern plumber the same as an experienced one recommended to you by your friends?

[uncut nest]

if he delivered the same quality as the experienced, yeah i would

[wanton pecan]

(Experience gives you better skills, quicker times and more connections)

[wanton pecan]

You'll be surprised how not true that is for the rest of the population.

[regal salmon]

yes

the answer is yes

[wanton pecan]

The only reason you'd pay the same is out of pity, and even then most people take the newer people just for the cheaper prices.

[regal salmon]

it shouldnt matter really, but a majority of the time it will

unless youre going for smaller commissions in which case its less likely to matter

[minor jacinth]

you shouldn't be doing commissions in general

just let claude make you're entire game

truth nukes

[pastel tangle]

the hard truth: investing into a good ai subscription like gpt codex 5.5 and learning to properly prompt and create workflow rules for it is 1000x way more worth it than paying for scripting comms in this server. only very good scripters deserve comms nowadays

[regal salmon]

okay

[steady thunder]

am i on fucking linkedin

😭😭😭

[lusty stirrup]

Yo can someone guide me how to improve my scripting skill?

[wary pollen]

“Generate me a caption and post for LinkedIn make it professional “

[steady thunder]

how new are you to scripting?

[river iris]

try scripting in excel

[lusty stirrup]

I mean i just finish like brawldev lol

[lusty stirrup]

Is this a joke or fr???? Cuz if it is real 😭😭😭

[warm tinsel]

Do you guys usually have "agnostic templates" for the systems you specialize in? (combat, fps, vehicles)

[steady thunder]

give up on learning game development and focus on surviving the incoming apocalypse

[lusty stirrup]

Why 💀💀💀

[steady thunder]

capitalism will probably collapse

[pastel tangle]

bro missed the economy class

[regal salmon]

what are you doing game development for and what kinds of games do you want to make

[steady thunder]

who

[lusty stirrup]

@regal salmon i mean i wanna do like some fighting game but got no skill

[regal salmon]

are you making games for money or for passion

[lusty stirrup]

Passion tbh

But do i have to pay like 5 dollar for it?

[regal salmon]

roblox isnt a great platform for that right now

slop games are overwhelming the good games

hard to get anywhere when youre not making brainrot or slop

[wary pollen]

Very much true

[steady thunder]

so what would you be passionate about in gamedev if not making as much money as possible

[wary pollen]

But in a manner it could be debated

[regal salmon]

i personally enjoy the act of writing code and making fun games

[steady thunder]

the purpose of a video game is to capture as much attention from players as possible

[silver verge]

you're in the wrong field then buddy

[steady thunder]

which capitalism rewards with more money

[regal salmon]

if im not making something i like im probably not going to finish it no matter how much money potential it has

[regal salmon]

brother what

[lusty stirrup]

I do wanna stick with roblox can u guide me?

[steady thunder]

so being passionate about making games fun = being passionate about making games that are as profitable as possible

loss and gain is the same

[silver verge]

unless your motivation is entirely the passion and you don't care about stats

[river iris]

"passion" is larp if your game doesnt take off

[steady thunder]

^

[regal salmon]

i don't know where you get that from, you can make something you enjoy and make money from it

[lusty stirrup]

Ok if i wanna make money how do i make brainrot copy paste game become famous 💀💀💀

[silver verge]

you were in here talking about slop overwhelming the platform

[regal salmon]

i would argue those types of games do the best assuming you're not on roblox
they end up being the most interesting

[regal salmon]

yeah and i dont make roblox games lol

for that exact reason

[steady thunder]

same applies to roblox

[silver verge]

which is why i said wrong field

field was probably the wrong word

[steady thunder]

except ur targeting for an audience that isnt yourself

[silver verge]

but i meant making things on roblox

[regal salmon]

ah

yeah no i make games outside of roblox

[lusty stirrup]

Is it harder?

[regal salmon]

yes but i find it more enjoyable

more freedom

[steady thunder]

so ur either purposefully making something thats meant to make yourself addicted (?) or you're not capable of empathizing with younger audiences and understanding what they find enjoyable

[wary pollen]

I can agree other engines are most definitely fun and more capable but it’s WAY harder to actually make profit

Unreal is ridiculously fun

[regal salmon]

i put my games on steam and they're actually pretty good at pushing out games if you have decent marketing

[steady thunder]

btw games that are pay to play as opposed to f2p dont even have to be fun long-term

they dont have to retain players

as long as you have marketinng

[wary pollen]

Yeah

Unfortunately the style of games I like and produce is a hard market to get into

[steady thunder]

since ur goal is literally just making players purchase it once

schedule 1 is a great example of a mid game that blew up from the marketing

it got hundreds of thousands of ccu on release and died within a month

[wary pollen]

Plus Roblox is the ONLY platform I have ever used IP material and have not got striked for (never have been striked but still )

[steady thunder]

on roblox you get rewarded for making players engaged long-term since if they stop playing you stop making money

[wary pollen]

That’s correct but also was pure luck

[steady thunder]

no it wasnt

there werent any games like it

[regal salmon]

what kinds of games do you like?

[steady thunder]

with the packaging/theme of drugs

[wary pollen]

It blew up because content creators starting making videos on it

[regal salmon]

my kind is easy to get into but hard to make

[wary pollen]

Primarily FPS and open worlds

[lusty stirrup]

Then why dont some dev just bot ur game??? Isnt that possible?

[steady thunder]

yeah because they knew the topic would get users to watch their vids

[steady thunder]

no since you have to make players spend money

not just keep them playing

[wary pollen]

Yeah so that’s like a bunch of front page games 😭😭

[steady thunder]

not rly

most of botting on roblox is from users

[regal salmon]

ahh i see

i like co-op multiplayer games

[steady thunder]

usd selling in-game items

[wary pollen]

There is a bunch of data to back up the bot issues

[regal salmon]

open world is tough, yeah

[wary pollen]

It’s primarily due to bot farm account and resellers

[steady thunder]

yeah

that is true

its not devs though

[wary pollen]

Like grow a garden I think 50% of the playerbase at its peaks was bot farm accounts

[wary pollen]

Yeah but I think there was a scandal awhile ago with a game forgot which one

[lusty stirrup]

Btw does solo-dev gotta learn all skill? Like thats alot

[wary pollen]

But talking from someone who was a head dev for a niche polular game at one point it’s almost all luck

[steady thunder]

the most important skill for solo dev is game/monetization design

then scripting

then ux/ui design

[regal salmon]

yes

if youre gonna go full solo

[steady thunder]

the rest you can just commission others for

[regal salmon]

but that doesnt tend to be a great option

[lusty stirrup]

I dont even know what game design is , what is it?

[steady thunder]

its not worth learning skills outside of those 3

[regal salmon]

its quite difficult

[steady thunder]

look into it

[wary pollen]

I’d recommend going on YouTube and just start watching videos

[regal salmon]

i learned this one the hard way lol

[lusty stirrup]

Any recommend channel?

[wary pollen]

It depends tbh on what your looking to learn

If your just learning the basics I’d advise just searching basic studio tutorials

Learn the fundamentals

[lusty stirrup]

U mean theres alot of game design type?

[wary pollen]

Game design is a broad word in a sense

You have to learn game loops etc

[steady thunder]

game design is the skill of making players as addicted to ur game as possible

[lusty stirrup]

Ohhhhhh

[wary pollen]

I wouldn’t use that definition

[regal salmon]

game design is essentially creating the concepts, rules, storyline, making the game fun, etc. whatever your game involves

[steady thunder]

id look into mobile games and their design patterns

[lusty stirrup]

The skill that front page game got the most

[wary pollen]

It’s more about keeping players in a loop so the gameplay never ends or caps itself out

[lusty stirrup]

Ok so loot box is one of em too?

[steady thunder]

thats a better definition

[wary pollen]

That’s a mechanic or revenue stream

[steady thunder]

yeah thats a design pattern

[wary pollen]

It depends on the context

[lusty stirrup]

Aight search and watch some vids about game design thx for helping

Do i have to search roblox specifically or

[wary pollen]

I’m recreating rivals but with my own twists etc as a solo dev

It’s going very good

I don’t have the clips atm not on my pc but

I am 75% done

[steady thunder]

definitely not

look at the roblox game design vids tho

to start getting into it

they talk about engagement, retention, gameplay loops, monetzation, etc

then look at mobile games

theres good videos on it

they're usually called shit like "the evil psychology behind mobile games" or similar

the more hate comments from gamers a video has, the better it is usually

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNjI03CGkb4

good example

[lusty stirrup]

Alr

[lusty stirrup]

Why cant i send pic :/

Game design from 7 years ago should i watch it?

[steady thunder]

yeah you gotta learn the basics before u get into the more modern stuff

ur not gonna be learning user segmentation and personalization before u learn about variable reward schedules (eg. lootboxes) and basic retention tactics

for example

[fossil cliff]

Yo is roblox loading super slow for anyone else

I swear roblox has been so slow for the past few days

[pastel tangle]

saying that while roblox is rolling out features that help higher quality games stand out easier btw

if the game gets good benchmarks it can and will easily blow up, it’s not that deep

you have to adapt to what people want (in this case, mostly kids)

that’s how real life works

if you don’t like that, just quit roblox and move to steam

like imagine a huge business opportunity with huge demand and you just miss out on it because you don’t wanna make slop lmao

@thin nacelle you never got past 100ccu im sure of that

[thin nacelle]

i write simple and fast scripts. delivery within 1 hour or less at affordable prices. just dm me for details.(not big script)

[pastel tangle]

#scripter-hirable

[cunning aspen]

heyo

[tacit wolf]

there's no way it's built in, i just found out...

[pastel tangle]

yh it’s been out for a while it’s pretty cool

no more rojo

[tacit wolf]

throughout my entire scripting career i though using rojo was just larping

[mighty citrus]

yo is "The Dev King" best tutorial for scripting?

[pastel tangle]

maybe some ppl are more comfortable with IDEs

but it’s definitely useful if u wanna use an Ai agent inside an IDE for ur scripts

[tacit wolf]

yea me too but i just didn't want to use rojo since the setup is imo so horrible

yea, they even added cursor support

[cunning aspen]

Im too lazy to use rojo

[pastel tangle]

use script sync then

enable it by going to beta features

[tacit wolf]

yea, not even worth it if you're an indie dev

[median tree]

wait thats so cool

[cunning aspen]

wait can rojo be replaced by this?

[pastel tangle]

yes

[tacit wolf]

yea

[pastel tangle]

all updates are instant

from both the ide and studio

[cunning aspen]

thats nice

[echo geyser]

Does anyone know if Rojo/Luau Language Server (or some other tool) will still detect type issues if I turn the studio type checking to nonstrict?

[tacit wolf]

yea

[echo geyser]

thx

[tacit wolf]

you can also just use --!nonstrict

[indigo solstice]

https://gyazo.com/8baa598dbee84baefcc274589a8f058a does anyone know what type of lag this is called?

still 60fps, but it lags out the whole game for a bit, i think its from the data recieve but idk because its only saying 40kb/s which really isnt that bad

[tacit wolf]

i think that just your ping...

[indigo solstice]

120ms?

i dont thinkso

does a regular server lag out like that at 120ms?

[cunning aspen]

Is this folder stucture too complicated?

ServerScriptService

• Framework

  • Core

    • Bootstrapper

  • Data

    • World

  • Systems

    • Global

      • MoveSystem
      • HitboxSystem
      • SyncSystem
      • TargetSystem

    • Custom

    • SoloSystem

      • ShadowMonarch
        • ShadowExtraction

[tacit wolf]

that honestly just looks like the engine halts the player update events sent because of other remotes

like other remotes stop the movement replication from happening

[indigo solstice]

would this give me an output error or is it just something thats completly behind the scenes

how can i measure this

[tacit wolf]

i'd recommend packet profiler

see how much remotes ur sending and how large they are

[indigo solstice]

interesting

ty

[tacit wolf]

it's definitely better than just all modules in one place, but i prefer to store mine in server storage

[indigo solstice]

is this a lot?

[tacit wolf]

depends

how often do you call those events

[indigo solstice]

enough to cause those lag spikes?

[indigo solstice]

i think its every time i select an army

im the only one playing, is there a way to use this profiler during a regular ingame session outside of studio?

[tacit wolf]

you can test it in a team test

[indigo solstice]

honestly i think most of the packets come from roblox's game engine updating the games information

half a kb cannot be doing that much damage

but it depends if the lag is even coming from information being sent, since 40kb/s dosnt seem that bad

[indigo solstice]

solo dev

[tacit wolf]

i meant like this

[tacit wolf]

also is it fully server sided

[indigo solstice]

the movement yea

[tacit wolf]

like does the server handle the "npcs" movement

[indigo solstice]

yes

it just replicates the position

[tacit wolf]

so that might be the problem

just move the npcs on the client

[cunning aspen]

I thought scripts can be accessed faster in sss, so I only store models in server storage

[indigo solstice]

no the server just lerps a position value

and then sends a remote to replicate the oritenation and position

[tacit wolf]

i mean performance wise they're the same

[cunning aspen]

oh

[tacit wolf]

so... that's the problem

[uncut nest]

Clean

The difficult thing doing oop is

To think of the file name or variables name

[tacit wolf]

just replicate the start position, end position and time it takes to reach it, and move it on the client

[cunning aspen]

use ecs

[tacit wolf]

2 hardest things in programming is cache invalidation and naming things.

[cunning aspen]

My brains says "CHANGE IT!!!!" when i put a simple random name

[tacit wolf]

don't worry, this is what roblox coded

probably #animator-hiring

[cunning aspen]

lol

does anyone use task.desynchronize() ??

[fleet gull]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1171417111302774814/1499429999940472972/togif.gif

[fleet gull]

hell naw

[cunning aspen]

why

[fleet gull]

task.wait(), task.delay(), task.cancel() and task.spawn() are the only ones you need

[cunning aspen]

task.desychronize() makes the code run in parallel threads instead of the main thread.

Isn't that good for performance??

[fleet gull]

if you have complex stuff going on then yes

[cunning aspen]

like running all ur systems on .heartbeat

[fleet gull]

but i still don't think it's a necessity

[cunning aspen]

rlly?

Idk I'm a performance freak

[fleet gull]

pretty sure task.spawn already does "parallel" threads

[tacit wolf]

unless they're running complex math it's fine

[tacit wolf]

it doesn't, it just creates a new thread

or coroutine

whatever

for parallel threads you need actors

[pale cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/battle-beast-vs-thragg-battle-beast-thragg-invincible-comic-gif-256195791317201616

[tacit wolf]

and you need to parent the scripts to those actors

[fleet gull]

delete this spoiler now

[pale cloak]

no

[fleet gull]

doesn't it just change the compilation method

[tacit wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/feels-the-aura-gif-2347929915833160550

[fleet gull]

instead of going from line 1 to 50, it jumps here and there

[tacit wolf]

wdym??

[pale cloak]

https://giphy.com/gifs/classroom-of-the-elite-ayanokoji-kiyotaka-nkaufUdFGtThihYR8L

[fleet gull]

the compiler sees the spawn thread, and it reads the thread before reading the rest of the script. If there's a loop in the thread, it checks the thread, runs the loop, then runs the rest of the script before running the thread again

it's hard to explain

[tacit wolf]

i mean yea it technically does

like task.spawn runs in the same resumption cycle and immediately returns to the caller without waiting for the thread to finish

[cunning aspen]

COA alr has tharem

[pale cloak]

bruh

[fleet gull]

what does task.synchronize do anyway? There tutorials are very scarce

[cunning aspen]

back to the main thread

[cunning aspen]

Ayanokoji looks like a femboy in this pic

[hasty mesa]

task.spawn is a virtural thread

task desync allows the code below it to be running on a seperate core thread

[autumn oyster]

look how cool this looks lol

https://full-stack.dev/fflag/q3m5ftj8.gif

[cunning aspen]

local Framework = script.Parent.Parent

local WorldModule = require(Framework.Data.World)
local SystemsFolder = Framework.Systems

local systems = {}

for _, module in SystemsFolder:GetDescendants() do
    if module:IsA("ModuleScript") then
        table.insert(systems, require(module))
    end
end

local World = WorldModule.World
local Components = WorldModule.Components

local function start()

    game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt)

        task.desynchronize()

        for _, system in systems do
            system(World, dt, Components)
        end

        task.synchronize()

    end)
end

start()

[cunning aspen]

i use it to tun all my systems on heartbeat

[autumn oyster]

cool stuff

[cunning aspen]

use

use 3 ` at vthe beginning and the end

to make a code snippet

[autumn oyster]

what

i know how to make code snippets lmfao

[cunning aspen]

I mean in discord

[autumn oyster]

i know

why are you telling me this 😭

[cunning aspen]

kk

[cunning aspen]

u said cool suff and i was like "what cool stuff?"

and i thought u were talking abt the snippet

[autumn oyster]

ohhh

no

talking about parallel luau

[cunning aspen]

oh

[glacial creek]

guys

does publising now cost

or nah

[trim stone]

my models seems to not function properly with a humanoid like, i've done a simple moveto function and it didn't go to the desired position it just slides (not to the position it's supposed to) is this the rigging messing it up?

[glacial creek]

live the plus thingy

[tawny vigil]
