i’m pretty sure @deprecated isnt a valid syntax its just an annotation for commenting
u can do
@deprecated local function test()
end
then it will warn when u use it
but im more interested in the "declare function"
no the thing is i have no idea what "declare function" is
its not even valid syntax
thats why im wondering
maybe its a new function type thats being added
and for this you would do
local a = @deprecated function() end
i tried researching it and can literally find nothing
prolly like the internal name for something
buddy just typing shit
I can do the same with a fire client like: event:fireclient(player‚ "1st")
right?
No, you wouldn't the only commission you could earn is from selling UGC items
I believe
yeah u would need to check in luau source code
yes
or on github
ohhh tysm
i googled that too and it turns out you get 10% commission if someone buys a gamepass from your game
anyone need me to do sm?
apparently it's to encourage roblox games to advertise eachotehr
Really?
yeah it's really fucking weird
cuz it basically means you get 10% back from everything if you just put the gamepass in your own game and buy it from there
can someone explain what .magnitude does? and how to use it for distance?
like closet player or sum
it gets the length of a vector
in studs?
it could be any unit
it just performs Pythagoras on all the elements in the vector
@spice cypress here https://github.com/luau-lang/luau
but how do I get the closet player from a part
so like do you make stuff for people and they give u robux
and when ever it changes it will print who is closest
Im not seeing that in the pass docs, however apparently you can make a pass that costs 1 billion robux
you would have to loop through all the players in the game, do the parts position - the player position, that will give you the vector from the player to the part and then do .magnitude on that new vector, then compare all the magnitudes, whichever is smallest is closest
loop through all players
have variable for closest player and their distance from part
if no player assigned yet then assign closest player to current player and continue to next iteration
if current player is closer than closest player then assign closest player to current player else do nothing
yeah that's a better description
chat who needs me to do sm jobs
i feel like that makes sense
but im a visual learner so can you's write me a quick line of code
so I can understand
ty
no
ok
Guys if anyone wants to transfer robux to you for payment for any commission dont accept it, it's not elligible for DevEx
They still have to buy your pass or dev product
Guys is "FindFirstChildWhichIsA()" better than "FindFirstChildOfClass()"?
I don't think so
Anyone here an experienced coder?
guys should i learn scripting
me
How experienced
very
I think it depends on the use case. FindFirstChildWhichIsA() honors class hierarchy, meaning it looks for the first object in a specific class ( example: FindFirstChildWhichIsA("BasePart"), as base part is a class, any part ( like part, mesh part, or truss part works ). FindFirstChildOfClass() is specific, it locates a specific child of a class ( like finding a specific script among modules, server, and client sided ). The main difference between the two is find first child of class locates the exact class name, while which is a locates the inherited class. Both are identical in performance, but i'd recommend using FindFirstChildOfClass() if you want something specific and findFirstChildWhichIsA() if you want to be able to later modify your script
Can you show me some of your scripts in DMs
no
Yea, its really fun when you get the hang of it --- you can create your own personal games whenever you want.
what do u need
son
why would i waste your time
there’s a lot of trollers in the world
ill send you my work but not my code
That’s what I meant
i already have this copy and pasted but its sum frontend stuff

Would you know how to code attacks for a boss and stuff and code sword scripts
no im not working for you
goodbye
Ggs
local players = game.Players
local closestPlayerToPart: Player? = nil
local part = workspace.Part
local function getClosestPlayer()
local shortestDistance = math.huge
for _, player in ipairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
local char = player.Character
if char and character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
local distanceBetweenPlayerAndPart = (part.Position - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Maginitude
if distanceBetweenPlayerAndPart < shortestDistance then
shortestDistance = distanceBetweenPlayerAndPart
closestPlayerToPart = player
end
end
end
return closestPlayerToPart, shortestDistance
end
Its a bit messy cuz i wrote it in discord, so you dont rlly get the usual indents
you could use three of these ` to create a code block like this
local players = game.Players
local closestPlayerToPart: Player? = nil
local part = workspace.Part
local function getClosestPlayer()
local shortestDistance = math.huge
for _, player in ipairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
local char = player.Character
if char and character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
local distanceBetweenPlayerAndPart = (part.Position - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Maginitude
if distanceBetweenPlayerAndPart < shortestDistance then
shortestDistance = distanceBetweenPlayerAndPart
closestPlayerToPart = player
end
end
end
return closestPlayerToPart, shortestDistance
end
who can give me some portfolio projects that I can do?
woah, how'd you do that
''' hi ''''
''' hi
not the quotation mark thing, the squiggle line
three at the start three at the end
right above tab
of course no problem, there's also support for syntax highlighting for some languages but I don't think lua is supported
Woah, a lot of built in discord features i didnt know abt lol
Def gonna use it in the future when i learn another programming lang
Are you experienced?
nah
oh alr
oh
youre a AI user
dawg what 😭 what made you make that conclusion
i jsut copied his code
I was showing him how to create a code block
for i, v in table is better
bro your reaching micro optimizations that dont matter, it's better to not worry about that and just use what works
its not a micro optimization
i was rushing, you can obviously see it at the top. I did players = game.Players
it is
im not tryna optimize it
rushing doesnt make you use pairs
you would have to deliberately go out of your way to type out ipairs, pairs
It's a matter of standardization now. ipairs is no longer required to perform the same operation
It simply adds more than what is needed
dosent ipairs create an array
It's not that deep, lol
You could autocomplete it too
No
autocomplete wouldn't use ipairs though
unless you hit the one niche scenario where ipairs is faster
its still a tell-tale sign of AI imo
When autocompleteing ipairs??
what does ipairs do aside from creating an array?
but why would you be autocompleting ipairs anyways..
When using it???
What are you on 
true either that, or a inexperienced scripter
or someone who just doesnt know better lmao
ipairs are index-value
i(index) pairs
i know someone whos like graduated and works in a cyber security firm who still use ipairs and pairs LMFAO
why would you be using ipairs......................
its just matter ofold practices that some people still hook to for no reason
you still havent told me why you would rationally be using ipairs
i get using ipairs if you developed in roblox when they were used, but for a beginner scripter to be writing with ipairs/pairs is illogical because its not taught anymore
the only place you really would ever learn to use ipairs/pairs in roblox anymore is some ancient tutorial or ai
isnt this luau?? Ipairs and pairs is syntax for lua?
Again. It does not create an array. ipairs is an iterator factory. It produces a function that iterates through an array:
local numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
local iterator = ipairs(numbers)
print(iterator(numbers, 0)) --> 1 1
print(iterator(numbers, 1)) --> 2 2
luau = lua
i meannnnnnnn i wouldnt say that cuz believe it or not its still taught because older more experienced programmers still do it out of habit and or just somehow never found out its essentially deprecated
i learned luau from lua, i transfered from there. I initally used the 4. something to learn lua
a programmer which doesnt find out that ipairs/pairs are essentially depreciated is probably not a good programmer because you should be keeping up to date
lua you would use ipairs and pairs because generic itrations wouldnt be in order
we have luau now
this makes sense but i also wasnt going after you
generic iterations go through in order by default
i was going after the guy who made his entire game on the server
i think it was two versions before 5.1
luau isnt really that different from lua because its just lua with some simpler syntax and kind of made for roblox
luau is lua, lua is not luau
this is because luau holds backwards compatibility and is a derivative
not its own language
its like saying that a linux distro is its own OS, its not; it's linux
oh, thats what yall mad about? 😭
no
i dont care about ur code
i was never talking about u lool
i was talking about the other guy
Lol
i used a different refrence manual, but theres no in table in lua, just ipairs and pairs
i picked up a habit of using it
Chapter 2 btw
Larp goes insane
lua
Yes
thanks
well luau is going to get classes
https://www.roblox.com/share?code=6ed2b63c91afdb498efc0f09e0b5dc04&type=ExperienceDetails&stamp=1777675715191 guys can someone tell me how they made the car system
Ip grappler
Quick question what do you mean ai speeds up your workflow...
Does it give you answers quicker than you would find it
or do you rewrite the script based off what your getitng
ai explains code to u in simple ways and gives answers way faster than u searching for it
that does make any sense
People ik use ai to explain how code works
and also how to get the code
couldnt you do that on your own?
yes but ai makes it easier, i personally dont use ai tho
its not
@blissful iron
how is it a cheat tool
thats like saying the roblox docs are cheat tools too
and youtube tuts too
because your getting the code from someone else rather than making it yourself
you said explain code
roblox docs helps you with the code and understanding it
not GENERATE code
ai GIVES you the code
exactly what I think but about 75% of scripters here basically do that
anyone has watched sakamoto days?
then your not in vc enough
Me
i never entered vc
see thats the difference
yea its peak
you would never see it cause you haven't seen it from an eye visual
dms
can anyone send me a reliable guide on how to create games using services, components, and module loaders?
any way to bulk import multiple animation saves
wdym
search what u need
Use knit
if you already know programming and want to be a roblox dev i recommend learning the SOA architecture first
literally just knit
knit is a tool
you learn the concept
then use the tool
? im speaking english brother
“Knit is a tool you learn the concept then use the tool”
yes what is confusing about what i said
It’s a framework which literally revolves around the usage of soa just without a singular bootstrapper
i know
so its a tool
learn the SOA concepts build some projects then use knit so you can make better projects
why do allat when he can just directly jump into using knit
you will be weak, not able to debug most of the programs you make and you wont understand your game structure flow
its like learning ADO.NET vs EF directly, if you want to be a weak programmer go ahead
Its two folders bro if he doesnt understand a simple structural flow then it’s time to hang up the scripting hobby
how can i make a push system tool?
Best advice
yo after learning events what should i learna fter in terms of luau
have you learnt parameters for functions?
wym
oh yes i have
like local function(num1, num2)
@stable verge
why does it feel like i can't finish anything
okay nice nice have you learnt about tweenservice?
i have so many projects
but no matter how hard i try
i can never finish any
at least none that i'm ambitious about
stop trying to do big projects and work on a small one
finish that small one then do another
and another till you get confident
then you scale up
plan your projects, dont just create blindly
i've only done one small one
for a gamejam
this one
i finished this
it was for a gamejam
one of the projects im proudest of
way too little. Do more and plan out what you will complete that day.
you'll feel much better when you complete each mini goal
how can i do this?
every time i make a plan
i hit a roadblock
and i can't overcome it
is it a big plan or a small on
learn
i spend days trying to work on some small thing
and quit because i overcomplicate it
then make MVP's
or just go into burnout
been doing that for the past 1.5 years
try breaking tha tproblem down
although i do need to learn more
oh, alr
keep trying to fix the issue. ask people, ask ai
i'm a scripter/animator/builderr
ai 🤢
i'll take that advice
how do i plan things better?
ai is good if you know how to use it
its like when you make only the basis and the game design stuff
thats all
whats MVP's
can you send a tutorial or something
thats not a tutorial
I'm afraid one of the reasons i keep quitting is because i'm solo
i do pretty much everything for my games
you just make the basis
oh
i didn't make thiss 😭
lol i'm solo too
my partner in a gamejam did
and tbh he was complete dogshit
he didn't program or animate or do anything
just this thumbnail 😭
what's a good way to organize my projects?
i want to have bulletin lists of waht needs to be done
then make one
yea ofc
nah i havent
whats that
try the example in here and read a bit
https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/TweenService
it basically lets you smoothly move something
is this something i should learn
this early on?
yup
idk learn that one first. Maybe userinputservice or raycast
guys i am making a game and a error code :SerializerPugi::deserializeImpl ill-formed XML keeps on popping up can someone help me with this
why does SO many people use ai
ai for coding is meta
duh
if you use it for high teir coding ai breaks down tho
its not really
and your not neccesarily even scripting it
yes it boost your producitivity
but scripting it manual is so much better
ai is kinda shit at making or even suggesting anything complex
exactly
since it goes off of popular code snippets and ideas
I never understood why scripters started to rely on using code in sucha bad way
because the're lazy as fuck
then when they're confronted and lost they become unintelligible
i really hope roblox bans ai
one of the worst things roblox has ever done tbh
roblox is adding more ai features
roblox literally added an assistant in studio
thats true
I dont think their getting rid of it any time soon
yo anyone know which is the best velocity based movement system or contrainer(linear velo, assemblylv etc) is best for dashing??
idk prob linear velocity
why idk
n
I think I added a virus to my game, because when i published it, and people played it, popups apeared. But when I play nothing happens. I checked evey single script I had, does anyone have any suggestions?
Could be caused by assets you get from toolbox or from other ppl
Do you know of any way to check for it? ive literally been through every script
Have you tried codex or Claude code?
Try making a new account on a different device and playtest so you can see the issue for yourself, that might make it easier to identify the problem exavtly
Have many switched to using ProfileService? Or do most still prefer using DataStore?
I still use datastore personally
Wanna make sure I align with conventional practices
Conventional practices use datastore
theres nothing wrong with datastore
use the find all tool
find in place
I coulnt find anything suspicious
Playtest on a different account and device
What does the popup look like??
isnt profileservice a module made by sm1
its just one to buy a fake korblox
Yeah, why?
Been out for a long while now
yeah thought so
Had a lot of people telling me profilestore is the convention for mature projects
In the script search feature serach for anything using marketplace service
But occasionally get told the opposite, so I'm a bit lost
nothing
a script was probably in the main game and not in studio, try adding prints and test in the real game
There isn't anything that profile service has that u can't do with datastore
Can u send an exact screenshot of what the popup looks like?
profile service also just uses datastores bro and u can make smthn similar to suit ur game
probably
a really good wrapper tho
i use suphi's module
Also you could try deleting all of the scripts in your game via another scipt like temporarily to see if the problem is originating from a script or not
if you do for i, v in pairs(game:GetDescendants) do and then check if v is a script delete it
see what happens then
couldnt afford roblox 🥹
hate to be the one to tell you but that is roblox
roblox²
ignore the disappearing triangles. i am only sampling three points per triangle in the mesh octree
because i am lazy
its a raster engine. It works a bit better when the mesh isn't from sketch fab with coocoo geometry 
what does it look like at max graphics
It uses canvas draw 4.+ for the display so it only goes up to 1028x1028. Currently its not every fast but i am planning on doing checkerboard rendering to get up to that
thoughts on polytoria guys
Awful ripoff
yeah way too similar
people use polytoria cause everyone hates roblox now
just use steam instead of playing a temu version

there are so many good steam games out there
or even itch.io
yes
hm u know a pretty great argument to that would be like not being able to buy games
and it was unconventional pratice
Uh no it's pretty normal nowadays
itch io has alot of free games
so does steam
ya ya
alot of companies are forcing ai
cant take the counter argument 
and i did give my thoughts wdym
dont play, just use steam or itch
cause its a bad ripoff
its crazy how using ai has became a criteria for scripting nowadays
It hasn't
because steam doesnt have a large consumer base compared to roblox rn
it depends on your location
It's just a really useful tool
nah its a platform tax on devs
That's it
apparently to 78% of hidden devs "scripters" they think that if you dont use ai then your just gonna fall behind
bro what
not country
but their vibe coding
its a platform tax
for getting sales on ur game
we got 1m in revenue for our game
we sold the game at 4$ only
you know roblox tax is way worse right
and we got like 500k left after steam tax n then company tax
but the sheer volume is kinda
convincing
lol
or just make a viral game on steam i guess?
ur having a whole new convo with yourself
maybe
weird ass cat
Can anyone give me script of kick and ban for admin pannel mine not working sadly
we can potentially help you fix your existing code if you send it
but if you want someone to code something for you, see #marketplace-info or #scripter-hirable
also, nobody can just "give" you a script for an admin panel as they wouldn't be able to integrate it with your panel without direct access, they'd just end up giving you a standalone script
Thanks for the guide

it’s a matter of preference. if you know what you’re doing and use Ai so you can work faster, why not do it tho?
slop
knowingslop
allknowinglyslop
this guy gets it
you work faster but your product is worse
and you also damage the environment and degrade your brain
"Faster" is not always better
Slower = not released game
in the case of AI a process known as cognitive offloading occurs whereas the AI essentially thinks for them, causing critical thinking skills to degrade massively, give a AI coder no AI and he will absolutely fail to do anything even if he was once a good coder.
to add on, theres a human bias which makes us "think" that the ai code is actually our code when it was the AI, or makes us think that we're "just using it as a tool" when youre really not. assistive ai and generative ai do not have the same level of downsides, generative is much worse.
this is why AI coders tend to "think" theyre doing X and that theyre actually ahead when theyre leagues behind
= Depressed = wasted of time
I mean thats true to some degree, but many people go to the extremes and make ai do all the thinking, even for tiny fixes. then they end up with a black box, and have no idea how it works
Faster = released game that gets 50 players then dies out
Those low quality games like obbies are created in a month or a week
deepwoken is made in about 3months
they had a full on team blud
roblox game development isnt slow whatsoever
if ur a solo dev ur cooked
ive seen solo dev scripters pump out insane works in days
it’ll atleast take a year
i'm a solo dev and it does not take me that long to make something good
if ur ideas are big
it will take more months
than just 3
if ur ideas is a simple game that can be easily made in a month or a week to do so
me
hes either a troll, or a 12 year old with imaginary experience. ignore @slow herald , hell of a username
tf?
not even
you just are really out of touch with the dev process
the slowness of a solo-dev comes from gathering assets and funding, not the development process itself
i could genuinely make that in a day
try it
no i dont make slop
this is literal slop
let me show you a day of coding
😂

why the fuck can i not watch vimeo vids on discord??
fuck this api man
everything you see including a movement system, inventory system, gun system with interative raycasting for bullet physics
bruh lol
all modularized made in a day
your playerbase is mainly children, meaning that it will die as fast as it gained traction
lol not even enough for the algorithm to glance at, check back tomorrow
oh thats right i also had a fully functioning customization system
yeah I do too
except mines actually good and not vibecoded and is modular
made this game using ECS

@zenith wyvern why are you so quiet now
What do u wanna see
i was helping someone out
anything ur willing to
this guy is a dunce
LITERALLY ALL YOU'VE POSTED IS SLOP AND SHIT 😭😭
I create actual games
so do i and my actual games are leagues higher quality then yours holy
youre trying to compare the shittiest code to mine
show me ur published game
if you think that obbies take a week to make then that says a lot about you than anyone else
"this was made with ECS!" ecs is slopblaot
Anyone who knows how to make rlly rlly good servers
thats why i have the ai think for me and i do stuff.
ai the brain i am the brawn heh
i am doing a buisness and need help ( dm me )
who the fuck uses matter instead of jecs
who the fuck uses jecs or matter in teh first place
stop using fucking ECS bloat
just code your game normally holy shit
yeah
entity component system
you have entities which is just ids, components which is data and systems
you attach components to entities
is it some kinda oop
im reading some dev forum posts about ecs
just looks like oop
ehhhhhh
oop without methods
and instead of inheritance you use composition
but you compose it of data
and not of objects
why would that be useful?
you want an enemy
you want the enemy to be flying and shoot flames
you would need to do
enemy < flyingEnemy < flyingFlameEnemy
but what if you then wanted a ground flame enemy? you would need to copy your code
enemy < groundEnemy < groundFlameEnemy
ecs solves this
Enemy
-flying
-flame
Enemy2
-ground
-flame
Oh I get it
in a world full of homelanders be superman
my favourite larper
bro ur guns.lol wont work
nvm it does i think
guys how much should i charge to make a troll system with spectates and 5 trolls
can you change the pitch of sounds through scripts?
Yes
I honestly don’t remember the instance name
Just add an instance and search for pitch
It should come up
Then just set whatever value with a script
whts ecs
Any scripters
femboy tech
entity component system
how do i scale BillboardGui without scale the texts inside him?
cuz i need more space for other texts , and the texts i have now is very small
i ❤️ ECS
What’s the best way to run it, I made my own and it runs the systems every frame, I was thinking of just checking when the component changes
i love you too
love at first sight 🥹
yo anyoen here uses MCP?
do u use roblox studio mcp or the plugin
roblox studio has 21 tools and the plugin got 69 tools
so idk which is better
Because your essentially using a short cut
Even using ai is such a shortcut
Then people say “no using ai boosts productivity” but so does Roblox documentation and yt tutorials
Ai is LITERALLY just a cheat code
Nah I can work just as fast as ai
Says the vibe coder
you're another wannabe lua coder
humble yourself you will never reach claude's benchmarks
Yeah see this is what’s wrong with the economy
PEOPLE like you who just use ai all day
I would give your perspective the light of day if you actually got results to back it up 
But I do 💀
keep wasting your time idm
I code myself
where has that got u
UNLIKE you who use ai to come up with scripts
Actually understanding and knowing concepts and how to script
Where does vibe coding get you
using your brain is human slop 🤖
I just like off-setting my work to sm1 better than me at lua
Holy vibe coding
on the homepage 
So basically have someone else do work that you can do cause your to lazy
What’s your game then
Waiting
💀💀💀💀
You have no game
And even so you can’t update your code
You use ai to do your games and that’s it
so dense its shocking im surprised you understand syntax
What’s a function
67
Actually no what’s the difference between parameter and arguments
ACUTALLY no what is tween service and how do you call it in your script
@claude explain the diff
Oh wait no
guys i'm looking for sliding door id sound
can someone give me their thoughts on a magic system of mine? its a tad complex (dm)
fine bro holy
💔
what
Just waiting for the day Roblox bans ai
Then let’s see how all you vibe coders fair out
A shortcut to a prototype
AI isn't going anywhere
Hate to say it but it's true
Technology evolves, AI sucks ass but it's here to stay, can't fault people for using it
Just gotta adapt
just say you dont look at the benchmarks without saying u dont
why would they do that
What benchmarks
I guess I don't understand the benchmarks 😔
how much would a shinobi striker based combat system lowkey cost?
that sounds niche why not make it yourself
can’t believe a “developer” is saying this lmao
you do realize your discord messages are also damaging the environment right?🤣
also, how is properly using Ai in coding damaging ur brain? you still have to think on how to design the systems and then review the code that the Ai wrote
yes not to the degree in AI
to AI
theres genuine studies on this btw
there’s not
its a process called cognitive offloading
studies have shown
your daily use of social media and video games damage the environment as much as ai does
this is wrong
holy have u guys tried mcp's in studio
AI harms it significantly more due to it being much more power intensive and using a extreme amount of water
this is genuinely so cool lmao
proof?
- you don't have to think about how to design the systems this is wrong
ok bet
Do they use salt water
no
@shy cipher well well well
then you’re not using Ai right . you have to tell it how to design the systems not just let them randomly do it. that’s why u get bad results
did roblox algo update
yes they are testing new stuff on it
so roblox will move good games up
yeah i think so
i switched fast my game brainrot to another game lol
apparently they check 30d retention
i think
hard to get retention
you need to make most high quality games for people to share it
and then get more retention
https://news.mit.edu/2025/explained-generative-ai-environmental-impact-0117
Scientists have estimated that the power requirements of data centers in North America increased from 2,688 megawatts at the end of 2022 to 5,341 megawatts at the end of 2023, partly driven by the demands of generative AI. Globally, the electricity consumption of data centers rose to 460 terawatt-hours in 2022. This would have made data centers the 11th largest electricity consumer in the world, between the nations of Saudi Arabia (371 terawatt-hours) and France (463 terawatt-hours)

AI data centers are causing concerning levels of water depletion in certain areas —including the Great Lakes
https://www.eesi.org/articles/view/data-centers-and-water-consumption
A medium-sized data center can consume up to roughly 110 million gallons of water per year for cooling purposes, equivalent to the annual water usage of approximately 1,000 households. Larger data centers can each “drink” up to 5 million gallons per day, or about 1.8 billion annually, usage equivalent to a town of 10,000 to 50,000 people. Together, the nation’s 5,426 data centers consume billions of gallons of water annually. One report estimated that U.S. data centers consume 449 million gallons of water per day and 163.7 billion gallons annually (as of 2021).
Loudoun County, with approximately 200 operational data centers, used around 900 million gallons of water in 2023. This has led Loudoun Water, the county's water authority, to rely heavily on potable water for data centers rather than reclaimed water.
prove to me that generative AI is not harmful to the environment go
using the word "consume" and "use" for water is misleading when describing data centre cooling
is it not
when you drink water you consume water
it is actively consuming water in order to cool itself down
it isnt lost
im pretty sure you cant run out of water
forever
the water you drink isn't lost forever either
you can
its renewable
the water cycle isnt a instanteous process which is the problem, AI datacenters for example are using water faster then the water cycle naturally replenishes it
which is why you have droughts and such occuring
fossil fuels are renewable
bro they aint
???
the classification of renewable isn't about whether or not its able to be replenished but factors in the time it takes to be replenished
Do you know what renewable means
fossil fuels take thousands and millions of years to be replenished, which is why they arent
no im mocking his point
bro what? it just evaporates
what
the water
the water cycle is not instanteous
if the water cycle is so renewable then why are towns actively facing droughts because of data centers moving in
so your discord messages are ok because they use less water but Ai is bad cuz it uses more water
its not a case of arguing if ai datacenters are impacting the environment or not, they are. its clear as day
also ai companies are legally and financially committed to being water positive (returning more than they take) by 2030
sometimes we pick the lsser evil
what
what if the day is cloudy
this is not true, studies show over a third of datacenters arent even reporting their water consumption rates
bro you can return water easily
are you really that gullible amarde to believe what a corporation is saying
how come it is consuming water when the water can come back
then youre just out of luck wait until its sunny
yo who is this guy
your phone’s battery contains cobalt mined by slaves in congo
yes and so does the AI
thats hypocrite
why would you say this
i dont get what ur point is.. one dude says he hates israel so we should kill every israeli alive because we let one dude say he hates israel
i pick the more concerning impact.. i know my phone battery is created by slaves in the congo but id much rather worry about the massive data centers with gpus made by 3 year olds in china sweatshops that are causing much worse impacts then me using my phone
dude what you said is like, you basically killing people and hate killing people
armodilo_183 just get outta here bro
you still killing them
bro if you wanna stop water being gone so bad how about you go into their headquarters buy a rifle and then shoot them
how do you guys get vfx and sound effects for systems do you make them or tool box or something else?
toolbox (for me at least) and you cna also download sounds from the web as long as it's not too long and you could make your own using like FL studio OR hire someone to do it for you
hello, does anyone here have an understanding of python matplotlib?
Hello
anyone watched sakamoto days?
i trust no di dont i meant i do actually i dont wait do i?
Yes
sure, the water cycle means we won't lose the water permanently, however the problem moreso stems from the fact that it's taking the water away from areas that may need it and deprives them of it. the water cycle takes time and won't always return that water to the area it originated in, potentially leaving communities with a very limited supply of water by the end of this ai fiasco.
I’m on the process of learning how to script now and I’ve thought that things that I should script like press e to open a door or like crouch and all that is easy and is already made by others so I can copy them. Thinking of like making a script by myself that does something people haven’t really seen before seems to be really hard
bro then thats the problem with humans not ai
why are you so fond of ai
bro wdym
you're just waiting for those ai girlfriends to become good enough, aren't you?
just try. don't ujst copy other people even if the script is easy, you'll learn better if you do it yourself
it makes people stupider
so many people are substituting ai with learning skills and actually using their brains
you are right but it doesnt make them stupider
it's especially impactful on younger people and people still in school
it just makes them dependant
since its used to cheat on assignments/schoolwork and, consequently, results in a lack of learning
but it will end up making them grow
could you expand on that?
well since they keep asking questions and they need to ask more better questions to ai and improve some of their thinking skills
and sometimes they just look the answers
probably learn a bit from that
from like repetitive exposure
it isnt lack of learning
its more about how it is like less learning
but they still learn literacy
i mean school, you can cheat honestly because nobody will actually learn everything that they dont use in life or don't like at all
but you dont wanna cheat on something you actually like
some people cheat on schoolwork but they dont wanna cheat on something they like and they will learn it
i realized at a very young age that school isn't about how you learn, it is about how you make friends, learning stuff is mostly useless because you will forget it in life except for something you like and want to actually get in
i think ai its a helper
people use it for everything and are dependant
to a point they cant think by themselves
losing their identity
if u use to help ur gonna be original
HI
yeah let's all learn the bullshit school tries to shove down our throats
i used ai to help me finish coding something and it used task.spawn(function()) idk what that means someone lmk please bc i dont like copying something without knowing what it means
i mean you could ask it to explain, but what it does is create a new thread and run the function on it
essentially it'll start running the code and then continue running what's after it at the same time
so if you put a task.wait in a task.spawn, the code after wouldnt wait for that task.wait to finish but the code inside would
oh ok thank you that makes sense thats why my code wasnt working before
what the hell does task.spawn even do. I looks like a runservice loop without calling the runservice varable.
i just explained what it does
putting this as notes in my scripit
So Basically, coroutines coroutines allow you to run code alongside other code, it creates a thread that runs along the main thread (The main code), Now you may be wondering: What is a thread? I think @SubtotalAnt8185 Explained it really well, But Basically, They allow you to have multiple Paths in executing code within code. Simply: They...
this is a more indepth explanation
yo Novinity when are we making a game tgther
oh
we're developers on two different engines so i'd be surprised if that happened
wait what do u even do
in terms of game dev, i make games in unity for steam
hows the pay
steam only takes 30%
i havent published anything monetized yet
u know about lethal company
ye
that game is so good
fire game
does steam pay for playtime aswell?
not as far as i know
why did u even switch to steam bro
more enjoyable and bigger sense of achievement for me
plus people tend to take steam developers more seriously than roblox developers
plus plus i have much more experience in unity than i do in roblox
but like isn't it way harder for solo devs
also unity is more capable
that's why i'm not solo lol
well i wouldn't say it's harder for solo devs
solo devs still do all the same jobs
how does like steam work like how do u get players tho
you dont pay for ads on steam, so you do your own marketing on social media
plus steam will push out your game a lot easier than roblox will, especially if you participate in their events like next fest and the sales and stuff
then you can get reviews and more reviews = more pushing
steam players are also much more willing to pay upfront for a game as opposed to roblox since its more normalized on steam
wait you arent going the free microtransactions path
that's much less normalized on steam and will tend to have players dislike your game more, specifically if you're not making a large multiplayer game
the only people that really do microtranscations are big companies with games like marvel rivals, others that i cant think of
indie developers dont tend to do that
though it does also depend on the game i suppose
i wouldnt be making games that can viably incorporate microtransactions anyway
ye
i'd be going to uni for game dev if i do go

but yes
uni is a scam anyways
hate the agenda that people who dont go to uni end up bums its just not the case
i do also have other semi-related hobbies i can look into
eh i'd mostly be going for the people
i'd like to meet more people irl who have this same interest
that's what my mom says
but i know im not meeting any1 when im going to health science 
and the degree, thats also good to have
🙏
most degrees are gonna be obselete
experience and projects > over the degree
ig
we should all become start up founders tho
ipo retire at 25
go to monaco and drive our ferraris and call it a day
if only life was that easy 😔
what color is your bugatti? 🤔
degrees help but what helps if the degrees you hold is actually keeping your true abilities
if you have a degree and your ability sucks you just get lost immediately maybe
some people who dont have a degree, absolutely genius can prove their abilities and end up actually getting something
degrees can be useless as hell but it just boosts your chance, but what helps alot more is your abilities
if your degrees cant keep up with your abilities you end up actually getting kicked out
truth nuke
lol
Yo guys Does frontend scripter mean they only do the replicate storage or only severscriptservice
kind of a loose term but usually just all the client stuff, so everything that interacts with the server
what services that uses doesn't matter
Ohh
What my bro said after failing an exam 🥀
your paradigm of reality is so beneath someone successful
gng you just sent a gif of a sexual abuser 🥀
tf you talking about success
hes a big influencer on the misogynistic community and you know that
define misogynistic 
all i see is a bunch of claims
I dont really care about another man's life that much
yet you imply he is successful
he objectively is
and I only used him cause of what i said 
it isnt that deep
success is subjective
Andrew Tate explains what the difference of vaulue between men and women is.

I was just generalizing success
obv attention seeking 
people gotta get a grip and stop taking another man's opinions seriously
it genuinely intrigues me how you simply cant admit it, andrew tate and the red pill movement got in your head so hard you simply cant see he is misogynistic
never said he wasn't
I just dont care 
what he thinks
"stop fighting and just let him promote hate bro its not that deep"
I'm sorry to break it to you but you spewing bullshit wont change the reality we live in u got 0 impact 
you lack basic empathy because you think it makes you inferior
if no one fought for basic human rights we would still be living slavery btw
and women would still not be able to vote
I dont lack empathy 
and homo couples wouldnt be able to get married
alr bro we get it

you specifically stated you dont care about this ongoing fight for basic dignity
does anybody in this channel actually know how to code or are you guys just sitting yapping abt nothing
😭
😭
😭
whyre you crying
as i said, you think admitting it makes you inferior
you think fighting for other ppl makes you weak
im crying because i have an actual coding discussion topic but i know as soon as i send it its js gonna be flooded by nonsense yapping
which is actually the other way around
LIKE OMGGG SHUT UPPPP NBD CARES
ill check it out
thanks so im just working on this wheel thing heavily inspired by the game death penalty
im just a bit stuck cuz i would like to make it so every time the red part is touching a new part it triggers some sort of event but i dont know how to do that
like i've tried multiple ways but none of them r working properly
math
how are you spinning the part
it's all individual parts
gonna be math
tweenservice
what is your spin script
local ButtonModule = require(workspace.CurrentMap.Export.ButtonModule)
local PlayerWheel = workspace.CurrentMap.Export.PlayerWheel
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local OnWheelSpinEvent = workspace.CurrentMap.Export.OnWheelSpinEvent
local spinTI = TweenInfo.new(10, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
local randomnumber = math.random(360, 360*8)
ButtonModule.SetupButton(
script.Parent.Frame.SpinPlayers,
function()
TweenService:Create(PlayerWheel.Primary, spinTI, {Orientation = PlayerWheel.Primary.Orientation + Vector3.new(0,360,0) + Vector3.new(0, randomnumber, 0)}):Play()
OnWheelSpinEvent:Fire()
end,
"Spinning...",
"Spin Players"
)
ButtonModule.SetupButton(
script.Parent.Frame.UpdateWheel,
function()
ButtonModule.UpdateWheel()
end,
"Updating...",
"Update Wheel"
)
based on how much it spins you can calculate where it is
while true do
task.wait(time needed for a 360 rotation / total parts)
fire event
end
the thing is too right
every time the red part on the wheel is touching a new part i also want it to make a tick noise and appear on the screen too
ignoring u
anyone wanna script my game
very odd way of setting the random number
but I guess that works
im new to scripting
gonna be somewhat complicated to calculate with tho
orientation caps at 360 (and resets to 0 there)
what does that have to do with ignoring
can u focus on ur other convo i dont need ur help
lol such a coper face reality bud
stop being a coward and face my arguments
youre part of the problem
wait so how could i use math then
bro regardless of what u say andrew tate has done basically as much as the politicians u glaze
its because of ppl like yall that trump and all the far right dictators got power to run nations btw
what far right dicators?
💀
your acting like the liberals and the far left are better
how are they better
