vpn

plus 2 accounts

[tawny vigil]

might work

[glacial creek]

i shouldve tried atleast

fuck man

i wish i wouldve known

[tawny vigil]

but roblox would spend more budget in detecting those than putting proper implementations

[glacial creek]

idk about that

i think make a lot more than just giving it out to 100k

[polar cedar]

We’re building DOOMBOUND, a fast-paced multiplayer fighting survival game on Roblox focused on skill-based combat and intense final duels.

Team Status:
We already have an active team working on the project (design + development). Looking to bring in a dedicated scripter to strengthen the core systems.

Game Overview:

• Free-for-all PvP in randomized arenas
• Players eliminated until final 2
• Standoff System: HP reset + forced duel mechanic (prevents stalling)
• Character-based combat (movesets, combos, abilities)
• Progression system (XP, leveling, evolution)
• Perks system + lobby features

What we need:
An experienced Roblox scripter who can handle:

• Combat systems (hit detection, combos, abilities)
• Game systems (rounds, progression, data saving)
• Clean, scalable Lua code

Pay:

• $50 every week or ~10k Robux/week
• Can increase based on performance
• Long-term role if things go well

Requirements:

• Must show previous work (no exceptions)
• Experience with combat/PvP systems
• Reliable and communicates well

Bonus:

• Experience with hitboxes, animations
• Can help design systems, not just script

Project Status:

• Structured GDD ready
• Active team, not a solo project

When DMing:

• Portfolio / past work
• Systems you’ve built
• Availability

We’re aiming for quality—serious devs only.

No advertising in #code-discussion, take it to #scripter-hiring

[polar cedar]

mb

[gaunt sphinx]

Assuming my joinQueueRemote, player, and lobby variables are correct, this should only fire back to the client who initially called the remote, right?
joinQueueRemote:FireClient(player, lobby)

[versed arch]

atp just use a remotefunction if you want 2 way communication

otherwise, most likely yes

[inner bridge]

yeah

[gaunt sphinx]

well maybe, but wouldnt the server wait for a response from the client?

oh

[dusky relic]

shit is AI generated

Got the damn —

[dusky relic]

$50 usd a week

Shi, looks like they only want their scripters to put in 2 houes a week

hours*

Would take like 5 years to make the game at that pace

[gaunt sphinx]

Is there a way to detect a player's chat age group, and if a player can't chat with another, to make an image appear showing such, like next to their username?

[craggy charm]

Test

Anyone know how to fix an issue where I get blizzard up in air and it js springs. The issue is the camera ik that bc the actual aircraft is functioning the way its supposed to be. For example, I can hover, it turns on fine, turns off fine, I can control it a littl3 and the helis work by camera so its spinning as tho the camera is spinning. Does anyone know what to do?

It won't let me attach a gyazo link

[icy bone]

Nvm i’m some spastic

[near sonnet]

how do i get rid of teams having stats?

[regal salmon]

dont put things in leaderstats

[near sonnet]

?

wdym

[regal salmon]

are you talking about this?

or about all the stats in general

[near sonnet]

yeah my teams have stats but only the player should have them

[regal salmon]

ah

use StringValues instead of NumberValues or IntValues

[near sonnet]

thats all?

[regal salmon]

should be

it cant do math on strings

[hasty mesa]

string values can be displayed

[regal salmon]

yeah but they want them removed from the teams

but still show up on players

the team values are the sum of all the player's values in the team

if they're strings then the game won't add them together and consequently not display them next to the team names

[hasty mesa]

oh ic

[cunning obsidian]

guys does findfirstchild and findfirstchildofclass have the same function?

[hasty mesa]

no?

they are two diffrent functions

[cunning obsidian]

what do they mean

[hasty mesa]

ffc finds the child by name

[cunning obsidian]

i know findfirstchild but not the other

[hasty mesa]

ffcof clas finds the first by its class

"Part" will find the first child with the class off part

"Player" will find the first child thats a player

[cunning obsidian]

i still dont rlly get it

[summer latch]

yeah same

[hasty mesa]

do you know what a class in this context means

[cunning obsidian]

in a folder?

[hasty mesa]

a Folder will have the class of folder

a part will have the class of part

if you name a part "SomeRandomPart" it's class is still part

[cunning obsidian]

bruh i still dont get it. Can u give a example?

[cunning obsidian]

isnt it already found tho?

[hasty mesa]

what about it

it just gets it

FindFirstChild just gets the first child in

[cunning obsidian]

btw i just finished begginer tutorial so i might be asking stupid questions

[cunning obsidian]

OHHH WAIT hold on hear me out

lets say

lets say there are 2 humanoid models

lets say one is a morph

[hasty mesa]

yeah

[cunning obsidian]

and the other is also a morph

lets call the first morph: skibidi toilet
2nd morph: cameraman

ok so

[rich moat]

🥀

[cunning obsidian]

both of their humanoid is called humanoid right

[hasty mesa]

yeah

[cunning obsidian]

ok so findfirstchildofclass just looks at the first inserted humanoid or?

[hasty mesa]

yes

[cunning obsidian]

wont just findfirstchild be used in this context

[hasty mesa]

you can use either

findfirstchildofclass is better if its renamed

[cunning obsidian]

well then they have the same function dont they?

[hasty mesa]

like what if you have a part named Humanoid

FindFirstChild might give you that part

[cunning obsidian]

yea but they are on two seperate morphs

[hasty mesa]

like if they are under the same morph

under the same morph

you have a part named Humanoid

and a humanoid named Humanoid

[cunning obsidian]

but would 2 humanoids in one would be possible?

ohh

you mean humanoidrootpart?

[hasty mesa]

like a Part

that has the name

humanoid

like this

[cunning obsidian]

ok so does findfirstchildOFclass find the original source?

[hasty mesa]

it finds which instance is actually a humanoid

[cunning obsidian]

like lets say a local script is named: script and a script is named script

[zinc loom]

read this : You dont have to know the exact name of what your looking for only the first instances type or classname Lets say you use findfirstchild("Part1") -> what do you do if the parts name is changed, using findfirstchildofclass wold be alot more efficient as you would say findfirstchildofclass("Part") -> still returmns the correct part even if the name change

[hasty mesa]

lets say we have a dog and a human both named bob

if you try to find the first animal by name of bob

we may get the dog

instead of the human

but if we just want the human

not the dog

[cunning obsidian]

i mean dont you say what you want at the end?

like FindFirstChild("dog")

oh yea mb mb

[hasty mesa]

that finds it by the name

[cunning obsidian]

this was dumb

[hasty mesa]

not if it was a dog

findfirstchildofclass("dog")

will find it by the dog type

[cunning obsidian]

yea but then the player wont remember which one he put first?

the dog or the human

[hasty mesa]

yeah so FindFirstChild("bob") could either return the humand or the dog

but they don't want it to be either

they want it always to be the human

[cunning obsidian]

man this is hard to comprehend

[cunning obsidian]

would they rename the dog to bob1 to not confuse them?

[zinc loom]

what u finding hard to cpmrehend about it?

[cunning obsidian]

the difference

[strange herald]

i think he doesn't fully understand the concept of classes yet

[zinc loom]

Roblox datatypes do u know them?

[zinc loom]

Maybe

[hasty mesa]

what about if you have two toys in a box one is stuffed dog and the other is a stuff cat and both have the name bob, If i tell you to get the toy named "bob" which toy do you know to pick

[hasty mesa]

which toy would you pick here

[cunning obsidian]

idk i just finished begginer tutorial i plan on going to advanced. I saw a tutorial how to make a door open after certain amout of cash and in the script they inserted findfirstchildofclass("Humanoid") but the video was from 2023 and i assumed it was outdatted

[strange herald]

you don't really have to care about it for now tho

you'll certainly have to understand classes but

[cunning obsidian]

dont know because they both have the same name

[hasty mesa]

but you have to pick one

[cunning obsidian]

well imam pick the cat since you mentioned it second

[strange herald]

if you just finished begginer tutorial don't worry abt it, you'll probably understand it later when you actually need it

[hasty mesa]

okay but now same scenario but I want you to pick the first toy that is a dog

which one do you pick

[cunning obsidian]

well i just made the blue balls to give you coins and the red button opens the first door but the second door i wanted to make it so when you have like 10 of those blue coins the wall opens on touch

[strange herald]

do yk how to use touch events?

[cunning obsidian]

yes

[strange herald]

alr

[cunning obsidian]

part.touched:connect(function(amogus)

[strange herald]

so basically

i think you could make it that like

first you'll obvyously put 10 blue coins there because there are only 4

[iron kraken]

AMOGUS

[cunning obsidian]

ohh the dog

[strange herald]

but you gotta write game.Workspace.(door).Touched = false

[cunning obsidian]

mb didnt notice

[strange herald]

so that when you touch it before you get 10 coins nothing happens

[hasty mesa]

So when I asked you yo get the first one named bob is similar as:
FindFirstChild("bob")

but when I asked you to get the first toy that is a dog its the same as:
FindFirstChildOfClass("dog")

[cunning obsidian]

also i noticed Isa

on the tutorial script

i mean obviously its a humanoid??

[hasty mesa]

what if there was a part named humanoid

nvm that case

is dumb

cause they used FindFirstChildOfClass

so it will allways be a humanoid there

[strange herald]

wait i forgot you can't use true/false on .Touched**

[zinc loom]

I give u a code example of findfirstchildOFcLASS

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = plr.Character
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

--[[
Humanoid has the className of Humanoid
FindFirstChildOfClass uses that className
A className is a read-only property that defines a type or category of an object
]]

if humanoid then
humanoid.Health = 0
else
print("No Humanoid found in: " .. character.Name)
end

Read those comments

[cunning obsidian]

but it always find the first bob what if i want lets say out of 1000000 i pick the 5345 one

that are put in one folder-box

[hasty mesa]

well you would have to use GetChildren

and for loop

[cunning obsidian]

oh yea i know how getchildren works

isnt it used for tables only or?

[hasty mesa]

GetChildren returns a table of the children in an instance

[near sonnet]

yo @regal salmon i changed it to StringValue but it still sets stats for the whole team

[cunning obsidian]

for i, amogus in stuff:getchildren do

[cunning obsidian]

isnt it to include all in one name

you get it?

like

[hasty mesa]

all children

not just all of 1 name

[cunning obsidian]

everything in the stuff folder is under the amogus

[cunning obsidian]

yea i get it

but like in what more complicated context is findfirstchild and findfirstchildofclass used

also i got another question. What is getplayerfromcharacter used for

and IsA

[hasty mesa]

when you just want the first one that is named or has the type of something

[regal salmon]

guess they mustve changed how it works

i'm not sure then

might not be possible without a custom playerlist

[hasty mesa]

IsA checks if something is a type

[near sonnet]

mmmm

alr

ty anyways

[cunning obsidian]

then FindFIrstChild

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH WAIT WAIT WAIT

so findfirstchild is used to detect the parent

and findfirstchild is used to detech the children inside it

right?

[hasty mesa]

FindFirstFindFirstAncestor?

findfirstchild is used to detect the children

under the instance

[cunning obsidian]

wait what is that

[hasty mesa]

gets the first parent checking parent of parent of parent until it reaches the condition

[cunning obsidian]

wow man there are so many interstellar

[cunning obsidian]

WHAT

bro

can i add you

[strange herald]

do you still need help with this?

[carmine dragon]

https://fent.pics/rfvxtm3v.gif

[pale cloak]

noice

[dapper grove]

Can someone help me

I’ve got a map on studio but I made a place

And they are in th wrong order

I want to spawn into the teleporting area

When the original game is the one you teleport into

[ashen summit]

How much pay?

[dapper grove]

I’m not paying you to help me

Why would I pay you for being a decent person

[strange herald]

please explain it better-

which teleporting area

and are the 2 places separate places?

[manic ore]

do you guys recommend the 24 h Roblox coding book? Tryna start coding

[strange herald]

i personally think watching videos is better

[main flower]

No

[strange herald]

mostly because it's 1. free

[main flower]

Best method to learn is to get on and begin mashing your keyboard

[manic ore]

I won’t know what im doing

[strange herald]

no

[main flower]

That's the thing

You import from toolbox > read over codeblocks > do it on your owon

Tutorials personally got me nowhere

[strange herald]

the actual best method to learn is first watching a basic scripting playlist (BUT DOING WHAT THEY DO IN YOUR OWN ROBLOX STUDIO, EXPERIMENT!!!)

and for the advanced stuff

just yeah, mash your keyboard, and if you can't do something, research

[manic ore]

I tried but

I get lost

[strange herald]

which tutorial are you using?

[manic ore]

I gave up when I got to arguments

[manic ore]

I tried many different yt tutorials

[main flower]

Don’t follow tutorials dawg i just gave you the best advice you need

They’re extremely time consuming with nonsense confusing explanations

Just do it on your own

[manic ore]

So I go on Roblox studio

With no clear objective

But just write random stuff?

[strange herald]

you'll not really understand a lot with that

[main flower]

No

[strange herald]

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ1Qd31Hmi3W_CGDzYOp7enyHlOuO3MtC

mash your keyboard, but with the knowledge this guy gives you

[manic ore]

I watched but im stuck on arguments

[strange herald]

arguments?

which chapter?

[manic ore]

I’ll try again I guess

[strange herald]

which video?

[main flower]

You go on roblox studio, find random bullshit from toolbox and study over what they’re doing. Once you get a handle of the basic stuff from reading over toolbox code and mashing your keyboard, you go over to community opensourced projects to learn new techniques and more advanced styles

[strange herald]

i might be able to help you

[manic ore]

Like you know those things for exemple

[strange herald]

but what video are you stuck in?

[manic ore]

local function onClick(player, purchaseType)

[manic ore]

Haven’t watched those ones in a while

[strange herald]

what do you know?

wait actually

DMs

[manic ore]

K

[faint plume]

btw

do ya think making a notebook for luau code is a good idea?

[formal jay]

just use documentation

[faint plume]

yeah this mostly just to start

also Im using documentation but roblox likes to over word EVERYTHING

[formal jay]

youll be able to memorize stuff the more you code

in the situation that you do need to look up what function to use or something documentation will probably be enough

going through a notebook sounds more time consuming

[broken grove]

just look at the arguments and returns

the name of the methods often say exactly what they do

and those tell what you need to use it

[minor jacinth]

md files for claude yeah

[regal salmon]

why are you a new user now

[minor jacinth]

i got banned for 1 month

for something slighly racist

wasnt even racist tbh

[gaunt sphinx]

or just use math

why

[ashen summit]

no seriously tho lmao, its an RTS

[remote phoenix]

I don't have any experience making stuff in roblox so I'm not the person you want to comission

[ashen summit]

fair

[faint plume]

Stop giving advice to scripters your not a scripter

[minor jacinth]

[wet wedge]

whats a reasonable price to pay someone to recreate rivals matchmaking system. Including queueing, finding other players to connect to, transportation to another server and options to rematch or go back to lobby.

[midnight geode]

lerp

[tawny vigil]

just randommaxx and pray its the right number every time

[tawny vigil]

larp

[sly stream]

guys who knows a good client rendered particle projectile motion module

[gaunt sphinx]

Can I only test MemoryStoreService if the game is published?

[gaunt sphinx]

Matchmaking systems are pretty easy to create using MemoryStoreService. I would do a full system from scratch for like 1.5-2k Robux. But if a scripter writes organized, and has done a matchmaking system before, they're pretty easy to copy and paste over, swap a few variable names, tweak it to the specific game, and be done within like 30 minutes to an hour.

[wet wedge]

2k robux only?

thank you for being honest

i was thinking $80-$100 USD

[gaunt sphinx]

Most of the ads in the hiring channel of this server are ridiculously overpriced, and no typical Roblox game is going to gross enough money to make $100USD a worthwhile spend on a small developing task.

[wet wedge]

okay bet

[gaunt sphinx]

Plenty of decent scripters would be willing to do for less, $20USD is like max you should pay for smthg like that.

The reason people overprice is because they don't want people applying who don't know what they're doing, and waste time.

[wet wedge]

oh okay fair enough

thank you!

[ashen summit]

Dawg he’s lying to you

If you want a basic one, sure

But people charge more than 20k robux, usd would be around 30-40 bucks id say

[wet wedge]

still better then i thought but thanks for your opinion!

[regal salmon]

i'd argue most are underpaying

[faint plume]

is anyone that uses ai to script is GENINUEY not a scripter

[ashen summit]

Whoops

[ashen summit]

They are, just not rlly good ones

[faint plume]

uness they're learning how to script

[ashen summit]

To make code work, you gotta understand it a bit

[regal salmon]

if youre vibe coding and cant code on your own, youre not a programmer

[faint plume]

im saying if you put prompt into your ai and let it code for you

[ashen summit]

Agreed

[faint plume]

exactly how I meant it

[ashen summit]

Also are you a luaa scripter?

Or more of a Minecraft one

[regal salmon]

used to be, still got the knowledge
i don't really do roblox stuff anymore, but i come to these channels and answer questions/help people still

and evidently am staff here

[regal salmon]

but yeah moreso minecraft/unity/web now

[ashen summit]

How much lua overall would u say u have

[gaunt sphinx]

$100USD for a matchmaking system??? That's a bit ludicrous.

[regal salmon]

i don't know how much i don't know, but i'm very confident in my abilities

[regal salmon]

i mean in general

most hiring posts underpay

not just for a matchmaking system

[gaunt sphinx]

Ah okay. Well I meant for his case, his game probably isn't going to gross enough profit.

[regal salmon]

atleast in my opinion, whether or not you think something is underpaying depends on how you value yourself and how much experience you have

[ashen summit]

Check ur dms if possible

[gaunt sphinx]

u asked me the same thing in dm's

bro is scheming

[ashen summit]

It’s called uh

“Building connections”

[wet wedge]

@ashen summit what about a shooting system heres the brief i made with ai lmk Scope (Phase 1 – Core Gameplay):

Basic gun system (hitscan shooting)
Damage + health system
Player movement (sprint, jump, optional slide)
Simple test map setup
Basic UI (health + ammo)
Starter “ink/paint” mechanic (shooting changes surface color / territory)

[cunning aspen]

Should i use Claude Code with VS code??

[rugged glacier]

use your heart

😼

[gaunt sphinx]

what a fitting pfp to be attaching a cat emoji along with his message

[rugged glacier]

ty greenverde

[bleak glade]

top games make over millions of dollars

[gaunt sphinx]

And realistically, most games just don't make it to the charts to be able to gross that...

[wet wedge]

any thoughts on this?

Basic gun system (hitscan shooting)
Damage + health system
Player movement (sprint, jump, optional slide)
Simple test map setup
Basic UI (health + ammo)
Starter “ink/paint” mechanic (shooting changes surface color / territory)

for pricing wise

[gaunt sphinx]

Hitscan shooting - easy
Damage + health system - easy/medium (depending on range, limb/headshots, etc)
Player movement - easy/medium/hard (depending on complexity, animations, style)
Simple test map setup - easy
Health/Ammo UI - easy
Ink/Paint mechanic - medium/hard

-# Hitscan shooting + ink/paint mechanic seems contradictory but whatever...

Atp, its scripting an entire game, which would make this a multi-day project unlike before, however, most of the scripting you list are basic things, like hitscan shooting,
This definitely would be upwards of $100USD.

[wet wedge]

okay bet thank you!

[gaunt sphinx]

Some people decide to do a percent of earnings when onboarding someone who scripts/creates a majority of the game, since they become part of the team more than just a one-time-gig. But each person has different preferences.

[wet wedge]

makes sense kinda like a shareholder?

[gaunt sphinx]

Kinda, but more like partners

[wet wedge]

okay cool

[fleet silo]

Why the fuck is it so bad

[azure coral]

i wonder what would've happened if the agent's task was game development

[south crypt]

ye, underpay the coder because your project wont profit anyway

I've seen you asking about tweening transparency, wtf are you even talking about

[dusky rune]

how do you upload media here?

[dusky rune]

claude once did the same thing to me it accidentaly deleted the folder where my model was not ungroup it

i think i paid a fair price for what I asked

[granite galleon]

i'm watching that video rn

lol

ai truly is a wonderful thing

blatantly ignored all instructions and just chose to hit the big red button

[azure coral]

generative ai is such a wonderful thing to incorporate with important infrastructure

[frosty sierra]

are runservice a advance version of while loops

[azure coral]

runservice stuffs are not really a version of while loop however they can be used in a way to make better versions of while loop iterations

[static coral]

runservice is what literally runs the game. the events are part of task scheduler (not sure if that is the right term). the delta time argument is the time in seconds since the last event of the same type. you can then use this delta time to do a variety of things. roblox uses it for almost everything. for example, moving a part at a constant speed:
part.position += movement_per_second * dt

[cunning aspen]

I use ECS to store positional data of NPC's and send them to the client and the client moves them. Is this efficient?

[azure coral]

yeah pretty efficient thats actually what im doing

[paper epoch]

there's a physics hook now btw

[azure coral]

though the client movement might cause a lil cpu usage to go up

depends on how you approach cframe manipulation

[distant hamlet]

yes but interpolate it

[distant hamlet]

runservice is a while loop underneath

[paper epoch]

Never use while true its dumb

[distant hamlet]

it isnt though

while true with a wait is fine

no reason to not use it

[paper epoch]

rage baait

race conditions are not funny

[orchid lance]

Please do not beg in chat

[west void]

can some one explain what pcall actually means? because I just type it for awarding badges without having any idea of what it means.

[uncut nest]

It is used to catch error so the error didnt stop your code entirely and you could add a "handler" if an error occurs

[west void]

I'm dislestic

dunno what you mean

[uncut nest]

Think of it like

Adding safety net to a piece of code

So an error doesnt ruin the entire process

[west void]

so it will repeat it until it's successful

[uncut nest]

No

Pcall is used for custom errors or handling errors. You usually see them in the form:

local success, err = pcall(function() ... end)

If that function has an error, Lua will just throw error in the output and stop your code. With pcall there will be still error but the error is suppressed, the variable success will be set to false and msg will display the error message in such way developers could utilize it to handle the error.

[west void]

oh tysm

isn't that how you find if the player owns the badge

in a separate thing

[uncut nest]

Yes

And the service you used to find whether a player has specific badge uses https request under the hood. That request could potentially fails by some factor and thus throwing an error, that's why you need pcall.

[west void]

ok

also how do I like send a signal using this event:fire server("1st")

or fireclient

and studd

stuff

so I dont have to use a lot of events

for stuff

and make it detect "1st"

[dark yoke]

I advise against that, but the script that listens just needs to have an argument e.g. :Connect(function(arg) and then "if arg == "1st" then ... end"

Do u contribute to the game or are u luffy trying get the crew together

[mental sail]

I contribute ofc

[cobalt loom]

What u do and can u send pics of it in dms

my brother made that bro

actually

i haven't heard it

[zealous gorge]

I keep getting these types of malicious prompts. I checked anything with require, prompt, marketplace and even disabled 3rd party sales but yet, it still appears. It's appearing since today.

[indigo helm]

did you use free models

[zealous gorge]

I am well aware of that. No, I haven't put any free models recently. It's happening today only.

[indigo helm]

Check your plugins

[drowsy knot]

It's in team create btw.

not just one develop

developer*

[indigo helm]

get everyone to check their plugins then

[drowsy knot]

How would plugins have anything to do with this? It's a gamepass prompt.

[sharp perch]

plugins can insert scripts into the game

[gaunt sphinx]

if you think you’re being underpaid, then don’t respond to the ad? I’m simply telling him that there are lots of GOOD PROGRAMMERS that will do those type of jobs for a lot less than he originally thought.
At the end of the day, professional programmers are working at actual game companies, not developing roblox games, hence why the pricing for a gig should reflect that

[gaunt sphinx]

P.S. my skill isn’t relevant to the conversation.

[livid crater]

That's not true, there are a lot of professional programmers on Roblox. In fact a lot of them do this as a side gig

[sharp perch]

2k is 7$ buddy

dont be funny

[livid crater]

I wouldn't even activate a single neuron for 2k

[dusky relic]

[dusky relic]

[dusky relic]

bro wtf is this conversation

@spice cypress@rancid burrow

I needa drag ya'll into this

[indigo helm]

there aren't any that would put time for 2k robux

[livid crater]

Btw Roblox has a custom matchmaking thing in the create tab btw

[azure coral]

didn't it already exist for a month

[livid crater]

yea idk i saw it like a week ago

[dusky relic]

Bro the more I read

The worse it gets

[spice cypress]

yeah that's stupid, if you haven't got the budget then don't hire someone, simple as that

[livid crater]

I will bet 10 robux that the guy who will do the matchmaking system from scratch for 2k robux, will make it with at least 3-4 critical bugs

[spice cypress]

if something is a passion project and you really need something to be made then someone will pay a reasonable price

[azure coral]

how can you even get bugs in a matchmaking system? wrong player teleports? or manipulating game teleports to access private lobbies?

[livid crater]

Do you understand how programming works in any capacity?

[azure coral]

i wouldn't be here if i didnt

[livid crater]

Guys how do you get a bug in a website? Bad image load? Incorrect server return?

Like what?

[azure coral]

Had a bad morning or something?

[livid crater]

No im just astounded that you would ask "how would you even get bugs in a matchmaking system" instead of "What kind of bugs would be critical in a match making system"

[dusky relic]

• player leaves before teleporting
• multiple players try to join at the same time
• player maybe spam leave ands joins a lobby
• one player fails to get teleported

[livid crater]

It's the way you phrased your question as if you have never had a bug ever

[livid crater]

Exactly

[azure coral]

Oh my bad, i meant to imply that it isn't that hard to create a good matchmaking system

unless you just started scripting

[livid crater]

Oh okay, well for 2k robux I would expect some serious bugs

[rigid cedar]

no self respecting scripter would setup a custom matchmaking system for 2k robux icl

10k is bare minimum

[livid crater]

Usually someone charging a small amount is inexperienced, or likely wont make a system modular or scalable

[azure coral]

10k is the bare minimum?!?!?

[indigo helm]

who would accept robux tho thats the real question

[livid crater]

yes

for a small project

[azure coral]

when did inflation hit bro

[rigid cedar]

duh 2k is like 7 dollars are u trying to buy a vanilla ice cream cone

[livid crater]

10k has been the generally agreed upon minimum for a while

[rigid cedar]

personally i accept robux when i feel like spending robux but yeah otherwise i take usd

[livid crater]

I did a commission once for 130k robux

[rigid cedar]

either way devex is always good to go

[dusky relic]

Shi bro, the people who can make proper systems are the same people who realize they probably shouldn't be working below minimum wage

[azure coral]

10k robux for a matchmaking system is too astounding to me

[rigid cedar]

it can vary but the time you spend communicating with the client and implementing it in their game is time not spent on actually scripting it

[livid crater]

What knowledge do you have on Module scripts and OOP in roblox?

[rigid cedar]

and just having a good bare minimum is already important imo

that might just be a me thing but i wouldnt take ridiculously low amounts even if it's for a tiny system

[azure coral]

would you like me to send an ss?

[livid crater]

Sure if you can

[dusky relic]

bruh,

[indigo helm]

takes even more time if their existing codebase is complete slop

[livid crater]

AI doesn't understand making a living

[dusky relic]

holy troll:
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/2021-commission-price-guide-for-new-developers/1356888

[rigid cedar]

just ask your ai to script it for you bro

why do u bother hiring

[livid crater]

typical.dark is not hiring

he's a scripter and can do it himself, he is the one getting the commisions

[dusky relic]

The more I look the worse it gets:
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/help-with-pricing/2571942/3

[rigid cedar]

my point is the person you're commissioning isnt the ai

[rigid cedar]

dawg im crine

[indigo helm]

2018 prices

[rigid cedar]

250 robux

[azure coral]

here @livid crater i use modulescripts for custom math functions that i had created (like rounding up numbers to specific s.f) and for stuff like collisions, i did try oop however its a lil laggy

[dusky relic]

that's 3 years ago 😭

[livid crater]

4 hours * 20$ + personal value = 80$ + personal value
What is this math gang 😭

[dusky relic]

the screenshot

[azure coral]

all the things are rendered on the clientside and server only stores values

[rigid cedar]

yo if anything is 2k robux or less i wouldnt even bother doing it even as a favor

i'd rather do it for free if it's for a friend

[livid crater]

HOW are you using over a gig of ram bro 😭

[dusky relic]

7 usd is a big mac?

You gonna spend hours working for a big mac

[azure coral]

roblox by default in baseplate does that to me

[rigid cedar]

yeah so it's not worth my time problem solved

[livid crater]

actually a big mac is $5 roughly in my area so 2k robux is a big mac and 2 dollars

[distant hamlet]

humanoids are expensive

[rigid cedar]

yeah custom humanoid objects if you need that many

[azure coral]

there are no humanoids

[spice cypress]

They're way cheaper if u scan ur receipts online

[azure coral]

i disabled evaluateStateMachine

[rigid cedar]

what's that

[azure coral]

im purely using cframe logic and lerp

[rigid cedar]

oo

[azure coral]

and raycasts

raycasts for terrain detection

its very useful

[spice cypress]

U have to do a survey but u can do it infinitely

[dusky relic]

object oriented data base

[rigid cedar]

i thought you'd just have to wire the whole humanoid yourself after removing the humanoid instance

[distant hamlet]

should be fine then

[livid crater]

No wonder it's laggy gang

😭

[azure coral]

???

[rigid cedar]

that's almost as performant as you can get

[azure coral]

idk im on a beat up $200 laptop i found used its running 60fps

[spice cypress]

Is that even possible

[rigid cedar]

is this a property under humanoid

[distant hamlet]

studio is pretty laggy

[azure coral]

yes

[dusky relic]

Sadly yes

[distant hamlet]

playtest it

[rigid cedar]

i wanna try smt with a bunch of zombies so that'll be useful

[livid crater]

Is CFrame math for 100 entities not expensive guys?

Like come on

[azure coral]

yeah i get this by default

[distant hamlet]

no

[rigid cedar]

it is but it isnt as expensive as 100 humanoids

[distant hamlet]

cframe is not expensive to set

[rigid cedar]

and you can probably get it down even more with flow fields or something

[livid crater]

Hm interesting

[distant hamlet]

well relatively

[rigid cedar]

depends what you're calculating exactly

[distant hamlet]

there are bulkmoveto and motor transform tricks

[rigid cedar]

if you're walking in one direction then i cant imagine it gets any better than that

[azure coral]

im batching everything up and using bulkMoveTo

[livid crater]

wouldn't it be better to move the columns together rather than individual math processes for each and every individual entity

[azure coral]

in mine im trying to make each entity feel less grouped

lil more individual control if yk what i mean

[livid crater]

Im not a Math or CFrame math expert

[azure coral]

its like those total war rts games

[rigid cedar]

oh ya i always forget rts games in roblox dont actually use humanoids

most of them probably

[livid crater]

How often are you updating the CFrames

[azure coral]

per Heartbeat on server

[livid crater]

Christ

[rigid cedar]

wouldnt it be better to do it every other heartbeat

[indigo helm]

you don't need allat

[rigid cedar]

you can just let the client handle prediction

[livid crater]

That's what makes it expensive, computers are notoriously bad at doing math fast, which is why we have GPUs

CFrame math however is done on the CPU not GPU

[azure coral]

dont know about that, heres 9 (540ish entities)

[rigid cedar]

damn that looks nice

[azure coral]

im only updating cframe values and sending them compressed through a network and letting client lerp again to smoothen it out

[livid crater]

Yea I would recommend getting rid of the humanoids, and handling all the normal states through a custom statemachine

[dusky relic]

He'd have to do like 1 million cframe operations a second for him to actually feel lag fr

[livid crater]

I feel like we gotta benchmark ts

[dusky relic]

doing one right now

[azure coral]

oh i forgot, im rounding up values as well to limit lag

i made my own math Module to round up values to specific significant figures

like 2 significant figures

[dusky relic]

local cf = CFrame.new()


local start = os.clock()

for i = 1,1_000_000 do 
    cf *= CFrame.new(i%100,i%250,i%123)
end

print("Took "..(os.clock() - start).." seconds")

Took 0.1675130999647081 seconds

[indigo helm]

how are you compressing them

[azure coral]

to lessen the load

[azure coral]

zstd

zStandard compression algorithm

[gaunt sphinx]

This is what I'm saying. A good matchmaking system with no critical bugs would take you like an hour at most, especially if you've made one before. MemoryStoreService does all the heavy lifting for you, and the rest of the scripting you have to do is to protect against bugs and issues.

[azure coral]

zstd already exists i believe in EncodingService provided by roblox

[rigid cedar]

does roblox not compress cframe values

[azure coral]

no im compressing them manually

[indigo helm]

cool, i'll check it out

[rigid cedar]

oh so you gotta do the compression on your end before remotes?

[azure coral]

yea

[rigid cedar]

ohh

i always thought roblox would at least bother to compress their own luau objects

[azure coral]

took me a few months to figure all ts out along with trial and errors 🥀

[rigid cedar]

goated

[azure coral]

nvm more than a year i think i started around late 2024

[azure coral]

im prettyyyy sure they do a lil with normal remotes

atleast i've heard

though i haven't found any notable size differences

[rigid cedar]

well ig not too troublesome to add on a compression layer

[gaunt sphinx]

Yea, EncodingService does a pretty decent basic encoding

[indigo helm]

Do you use any plugins to see how heavy your packets are?

[dusky relic]

You can do about like max 50k CFrame operations per frame before you notice lag

[azure coral]

bad practice, no i dont i use unreliableRemoteEvents which have a specific size cap

if im below it, its fine

[rigid cedar]

how long does 50k cframe operations take

[strange herald]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1138164798652166264/1499487080806351008/ice.gif

[dusky relic]

Took 0.005835599964484572 seconds

[azure coral]

haven't tried that out unfortunately

[dusky relic]

Like nothing

[azure coral]

.

[rigid cedar]

amazing

[gaunt sphinx]

The thing is, Matchmaking Systems are one of the basic components of a lot of roblox games that roblox scripters should know how to do. It's a very popular topic. That's why I price it so low.

[strange herald]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1408748480796692510/1417129795703275631/image-44071k.gif

[rigid cedar]

i wouldnt bother even doing it if it's priced so low though

if it's not worth something then what's the point

[azure coral]

for me 10k is such a high price

[gaunt sphinx]

I think jobs that require the scripter to make something abnormal, or think outside the box on how to create it, is what makes something more expensive

[azure coral]

im used to getting paid 200 robux

per script

[strange herald]

https://klipy.com/gifs/bambou-panda-express-roblox--k01KQB48T9GDQ99NKACNNJYTJ8R

[rigid cedar]

if you have decent experience i think 200 is a ridiculously low amount

[strange herald]

baddies divas

[indigo helm]

how is it a bad practise?

[strange herald]

💜 slay

[azure coral]

no no i have a bad practice

[rigid cedar]

time is also a factor

[indigo helm]

oooh

[azure coral]

sorry english is not my first language

[livid crater]

have fun being an indentured servant to the man then, keep doing your out of the box projects for less than 30k robux and make less than a mcdonalds worker

[gaunt sphinx]

Thats a big thing. Matchmaking System would take me not even an hour to make. So $100USD an hour? Kinda crazy

[indigo helm]

i suggest getting the packet profiler

[azure coral]

i see thanks

[livid crater]

okay and this system is going to integrate seamlessly into their current project, with no bugs?

[gaunt sphinx]

mcdonalds workers make abt $15USD an hour gang, what are you even talking about.

[livid crater]

and you're willing to work for $7 an hour

[rigid cedar]

i dont think i was too clear but if i were to be hired to setup a matchmaking system i would imagine it take a little more effort than plug and play having to implement it into their pre-existing systems alongside custom requests

[livid crater]

less than the US federal minimum wage btw

[rigid cedar]

anything less they could probably just google it and i dont see the point of hiring or being hired

[livid crater]

thats how low you're pricing it

[strange herald]

i think most people (including me) accept it cuz they see it more of a hobby than a job

[azure coral]

great handwriting btw

[gaunt sphinx]

I priced it at $20 an hour... $20USD for an hour of matchmaking system work

[strange herald]

"great"

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1460341297436033247/1473779923784044574/togif.gif

[rigid cedar]

that's exactly why you should be accepting payment worth your time if it's a hobby

[azure coral]

sarcasm xd

[rigid cedar]

if you dont gain anything other than the payment then you're wasting your time with features that are far below your skill level

[strange herald]

son

[rigid cedar]

if you gain a bunch of clout then that's kinda baller tho

[azure coral]

shiii this might be the answer to my problems

[rigid cedar]

and you could be spending that time on your own bigger projects especially if it's a hobby

[gaunt sphinx]

"alongside custom requests" is the key thing that would jack up price.

[dusky relic]

Max CFrame operations per second is about 850k on my pc at least, so lets say you do 100k per second, you can quite confidently do 1k CFrame operations per frame (1/60)s

[rigid cedar]

why get burnt out doing simple ass stuff

[livid crater]

a bunch of clout for being a cheap ass scripter 😭

[gaunt sphinx]

@strange herald where do you store all your screenshots? in a vault underground?

[strange herald]

i love being the great keeper of the HD files

[strange herald]

only i can know

[rigid cedar]

if i scripted something for mrbeast for example that's invaluable clout

[livid crater]

There was a guy who created a wiki once for this server and kept all the history on it

[strange herald]

"RELEASE THE HD FILES"

[keen comet]

He keeps them in his head and then draws all of them by hand

[strange herald]

what

peak

[gaunt sphinx]

finding somnium's screenshot folder and copying it onto a hard drive is comparable to the louvre heist

[rigid cedar]

but clout that big is a bit ridiculous so i dont think it should be a consideration most of the time

[livid crater]

Yea I gotta find it again

[rigid cedar]

yeah so if you're getting hired for just a simple plug and play then what's the point of accepting it

is my thoughts

[gaunt sphinx]

because its an easy $20 bucks

[rigid cedar]

that's just how i personally go about things and i advise others to do the same

[gaunt sphinx]

but yeah i see ur point

[rigid cedar]

yea 2k robux

but yeah it's just my opinion

[livid crater]

This server changed like crazy since I used to be in here

[gaunt sphinx]

who here listens to music while they script?

[rigid cedar]

i read a lot of stories of people getting burnt out of doing things that arent genuinely challenging and keep doing simple stuff for cheap

so at least make money if ur gonna get burnt out

[strange herald]

btw this is probably one of the most controversial screenshots in the HD Files (100% real)

it's a discord screenshot

js low quality trust me

[gaunt sphinx]

i've seen the original

[rigid cedar]

i usually listen to music if i already have it planned out but i cant hear my own thoughts when im planning so i keep it off then

[strange herald]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1138164798652166264/1499487080806351008/ice.gif

[keen comet]

See I told yall

[potent maple]

Is it better to keep debugging for testers in the console or make a UI and separate debug options into categories such as combat, etc.?

[livid crater]

just keep relevant client debug prints in teh console for testers

[drowsy quarry]

?

[livid crater]

Go read the docs

I bet your answer is in there

[tacit hawk]

is it better to make ur own libraries or use premade ones

[keen comet]

wise man spreads wisdom

[livid crater]

Depends on the usecase

[tacit hawk]

i want to become better at programming so i tend to make my own custom ones all the time but ppl recommend i use frameworks made by others idk whats best

[livid crater]

If you want to create a library to help clean up potential memory leaks you're better off using Maid. If you need an uiltra specific library that you can't find online then probably make your own

[tacit hawk]

i only use frameworks to see how others code and improve my ability

[livid crater]

The best thing to do is probably use the popular frameworks, that way you know how to use them if you get a big project that uses those libs

[tacit hawk]

yeah maid is real nice for that i agree

usually tho im pretty good with memory leaks but i think itd be nice to use maid instead

[drowsy quarry]

I looked isnt in there

[gaunt sphinx]

Hey guys, thoughts on this? Can I do this more efficiently?

    local lobbyID = game.Workspace.Lobbies.Lobbies:FindFirstChild(lobby)
    if not lobbyID then
        return
    end
    local newPlayer = Instance.new("StringValue")
    newPlayer.Name = player.Name
    newPlayer.Parent = lobbyID
    for _, playerInLobby in pairs(lobbyID:GetChildren()) do
        local playerName = playerInLobby.Name
        local targetPlayer = game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerName)
        if targetPlayer then
            joinQueueRemote:FireClient(targetPlayer, lobby)
        end
    end
end

joinQueueRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, lobby)
    local action = 1
    addPlayer(player, lobby)
end)```

[livid crater]

what is this for?

[gaunt sphinx]

Joining the queue of a lobby. I'm trying to write a system that uses StringValues stored in folder.

[livid crater]

Aren't you the guy who claimed to be able to make a match make system in an hour for 2k robux?

😭

Don't use string values

[gaunt sphinx]

Yes, because I've made several before, so making another one wouldn't take me long...

[livid crater]

Store the data in the server in a table

[gaunt sphinx]

the whole challenge I'm trying to take on is to use stringvalues brother

balright imma just ignore u

[livid crater]

That doesn't make any sense

Why would you use string values when you can store the data in a table

[thick crater]

Hi, can you detect which fast flags are currently in use by the player using

UserSettings():IsUserFeatureEnabled()

(including non-allowlisted fast flags?)

[livid crater]

Also

game.Workspace.Lobbies.Lobbies:FindFirstChild(lobby)

This should be separated into something like

local Lobbies = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Lobbies")
local Lobbies2 = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Lobbies")

Now all you have to do is local lobbyID = Lobbies:FindFirstChild(lobby)

Just better practice

In order to do things more efficiently you shouldn't use StringValues

[gaunt sphinx]

FastFlags are an internal value and not shown to devs. roblox intentionally hides these

[livid crater]

I would create a LobbyService

[thick crater]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/UserSettings#IsUserFeatureEnabled

Similarly functions to

GlobalSettings:GetFFlag()

[gaunt sphinx]

“This function checks against a list of FFlags whose name starts with User".

This only checks flags that being with "User"

[thick crater]

I seen that now yes

[thick crater]

What about this?

[tacit hawk]

is this supposed to inform other players whenever a new player joins a lobby? im confused

[thick crater]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/GlobalSettings#GetFFlag

[livid crater]

no it's a lobby system to join a certain lobby, they get put into a Q

He's refusing actual help so I wouldn't bother

[tacit hawk]

oh like a ranked system

where u join a queue

[livid crater]

For a lobby specifically

[gaunt sphinx]

no clue how that works lowkey

[livid crater]

He's dead set on using StringValues instead of creating a LobbyService like one should

[gaunt sphinx]

its supposed to inform all players in the lobby, so their UI reflects the new player joining

hence why I have the for in pairs loop, to find all players in the lobby, then send a remote to each telling them to update the UI

[thick crater]

that's why i'm asking 😅

[tacit hawk]

why dont u fireallclients instead of looping thru?

[livid crater]

Which a lobby service would solve all your problems

[livid crater]

He has to get specific players in a lobby ig

It's really strange that he is refusing to do the Industry standard

[tacit hawk]

oh i see

i feel like all the clients can just

self check when they receive it

and do that on their own tho

[livid crater]

No that's also not acceptable

Firing to them is acceptable

[umbral hound]

Destroyed Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

[livid crater]

However he should be creating a LobbyService on the server that tracks all of this without creating new instances anywhere

Which adds unncecessary complexity to his system

[tacit hawk]

personally i dont really use instance values

do most ppl do?

[warm tinsel]

When I want to change the params of a function that's used in many other scripts in the corners of my game, is there a sort of plugin where I could sort of have a list of all of the lines that reference the function?

Like a sort of find tool for every script in the game

[livid crater]

Show an example

[honest flower]

theyre only really good for organizing nowadays

attributes are better

[tacit hawk]

yeah i agree

[livid crater]

Are you splitting the functions across multiple scripts?

[livid crater]

I agree, even this would be better than using StringValues to track which players are in a lobby

[tacit hawk]

i’m not sure but what i do is i do ctrl shift f and type in the function name it will show every script that uses the name u typed in

[thick crater]

Can someone explain to me these 3 functions?

UserSettings():IsUserFeatureEnabled()
GlobalSettings():GetFFlag()
GlobalSettings():GetFVariable()

I'm kind of lost as to what their capabilities are.
Here's the doc pages:

• https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/GlobalSettings?utm_source=google.com
• https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/UserSettings#IsUserFeatureEnabled

[warm tinsel]

THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH

[tacit hawk]

yeahhhh it automatically shows every script in hr entire game that has the name u typed

useful asl

you have to make sure ur naming good tho because if u have another script that has a similar function name you can get lost and confused

[thick crater]

?

[red thicket]

Any scripters wanne help with me insane game dm me

[sly stream]

can someone please gimme a module for rendering projectiles on the client

like how do i make a ball just go in an arc motion on the client

[tacit hawk]

i just read the docs

IsUserFeatureEnabled just checks if a user ff is enabled on client side

basically fast flags that atart with the key word “User”

GetFF just checks if a fast flag exists for the client

GetFValue returns the value of the flag set

ffs are just client mods at the end of the day to the client side workspace

[tiny inlet]

I need someone to work with me if they are really good at coding

[tacit hawk]

stuff like changing shadows, skyboxes, are just changing properties of the workspace that doesnt affect other players

[tacit hawk]

GetFValue probably errors if GetFF returns false so u probably need to check that first before ever using it

o it could return nil

or

[sly stream]

can you not render physics on the client?

[tacit hawk]

bezier curves

or splines

[sly stream]

how would one go about making a ball in projectile motion

is there a simple module out there to help with this

[tacit hawk]

you dont need a module for that tho

you just apply linear velocity

to x/z and y directions

AssemblyLinearVelocity is probably good enough

[sly stream]

how would i do that if i have pos 1 and pos 2 and i want it to follow and arc path?

[tacit hawk]

if you want it to be fixed u probably wanna do bezier curves

if its a fixed start and end position

[sly stream]

do u use tweening?

[tacit hawk]

no

i mean u could but i wouldn’t

most ppl use Lerps

[strange herald]

larps u mean

[tacit hawk]

bezier curves are jus 2 lerps essentially between 3 points with 1 being a control point

if u understand lerps then u can implement beziers urself

[tacit hawk]

too many of those lately

[gilded raft]

I heard you guys hate AI

[strange herald]

you've been archived in the great HD archives btw

[wary warren]

If I were to make a script where I can buy gamepasses via ID in my own game, would I get the 40% as well?

[spice cypress]

why would you get money if someone bought someone else's gamepass

[wary warren]

I dont know maybe thats why im asking?

[tacit hawk]

yes this works i think unless roblox patched it

i knew someone who bought stuff from the roblox market in his own game

[spice cypress]

0 bandwidth method

[tacit hawk]

so he could get it for cheaper

[spice cypress]

i don't think that's how it works

[tacit hawk]

catalog avatar works similarly doesnt it

the owner gets a portion of all purchases

[spice cypress]

the owner of the product

[tacit hawk]

no the owner of the game

[spice cypress]

it doesn't matter which game its purchased from

[tacit hawk]

he gets a portion of any bought item

even if he himself bought it

[spice cypress]

wouldn't that be an issue though

cuz then you would just buy everything from ur own game

[tacit hawk]

yeah thats why i said im not sure if roblox patched it

people used that method for years

you’re essentially getting any item for 40% cheaper than it actually is

[spice cypress]

yeah it looks like you get 10% of the revenue generated

that's kinda bs

[static coral]

anyone know

[spice cypress]

oh you can just disable third party sales

or is that seomthing to do with models\

idfk

then again i suppose you could just not use gamepasses

and problem solved

[ember nimbus]

fr??? mr beast did that??? thanks kings 😃

[lament canyon]

Omg $2.7k??

How generous

[thick sentinel]

Hey Coders,
were there any recent updates that affect task.spawn and make them not work properly anymore?

[agile sonnet]

uhhh no i dont think so

[tacit hawk]

no

why do u ask

[spice cypress]

which one

[thick sentinel]

ok ty, cus I experienced some bugs without doing any changes

[tacit hawk]

roblox making big moves

if this works out exploiting will get way more difficult

[static coral]

"declare function"

[tacit hawk]

what line did u get that error at

[static coral]

i got it when i did

@deprecated type a = {}

this doesnt work tho i was testing random shi

but it gives that error

[tacit hawk]

ngl ive never seen that before

@deprecated

isnt that something u write usually when ur documenting
