hey claude generate comments for this code but speak like normal human make no mistake

[mossy lynx]

no bro i commented it all myself bud

[random summit]

so guys

what's the highest pay you've seen in #scripter-hiring so far?

[mossy lynx]

350k usd

[random summit]

yeah?

[regal salmon]

like $5k USD i think

[random summit]

oh that low? remember for what it was?

[regal salmon]

i do not

i havent looked in there in a while lol

[random summit]

I see

alright

[lost dragon]

😭bro this is some basic code , chill out

It’s like off some YouTube tutorial “How to make fireball move in Roblox”

[severe haven]

top larper on the server

[regal salmon]

[plush oxide]

i can smell the skid with that nested code

[burnt ginkgo]

How do I disable dynamic heads?

[plush oxide]

you dont

[regal salmon]

i don't think you can

unless you make a custom rig

[burnt ginkgo]

Can you make it so everyone spawns in w the default roblox smile?

[lost pebble]

if you name a model StarterCharacter and put it under StarterPlayer, that will become the rig all players will spawn with. if you want to add the player's avatar customizations to it, you can then apply their humanoid description

[regal salmon]

yeah they removed classic faces so there's no way to have it happen automatically anymore

[pastel pivot]

does anyone know if big games like survive zombie arena and survive the apocalypse use humanoids for zombies or something else entirely?

[burnt ginkgo]

super helpful ty

[lost pebble]

you're welcome

[teal minnow]

is ther any way to slowly fade the transparency of a characters name?

[golden coral]

Wait nov so u don’t rlly dev on rblx at all?

[regal salmon]

i'll occasionally help out with games my close friends are making but other than that no

the most i do is answer questions here lol

for my own projects im fully transitioning to Unity

[golden coral]

Oh so u prefer full game engines

[regal salmon]

yeah

[golden coral]

Tuff do those positions make a lot? I actually never really did my research

[regal salmon]

like for actual jobs or for indie games?

[golden coral]

Both tbh

[regal salmon]

jobs depends on your position/experience but it can go up to 6 figures
google says around $150k/year for a senior developer
indie games on the other hand vary WILDLY
you could make like a thousand dollars from your game or you could make tens of millions, just depends if you go viral lol

and your marketing

[golden coral]

Damn i definitely was not expecting that

[regal salmon]

for example, Zeekers, the solo developer of Lethal Company, made about 70 million USD from the game

[golden coral]

Lethal company ?????

[regal salmon]

meanwhile i'm sure there are games out there that made like a couple bucks and thats all

[regal salmon]

yes

it got a looot of players

[golden coral]

Yea I did play it 2-3 years back it was cool

[regal salmon]

excluding taxes, idk what itd be with taxes

[regal salmon]

one of my favorite games tbh

and it introduced the world to friendslop

which is my favorite genre

[golden coral]

The amount of active players Roblox has just carries the dev payouts tbh it’s crazy

[golden coral]

It was better when I played it with mods

[violet cosmos]

yo im kinda broke rn anyone got any systems that i can work? for robux

[regal salmon]

yep lol

i still prefer Steam tho

[regal salmon]

#scripter-hiring

[violet cosmos]

that channel is dead

[golden coral]

There is so many offers a day lol wym

[regal salmon]

there was a post approved 2 hours ago..

[violet cosmos]

2 HOURS AGO

in discord standards its dead

[regal salmon]

thats by no fault of the hirers lol

all the posts have to be approved by staff before theyre posted

[violet cosmos]

neithers its my fault

[golden coral]

I’m in so many Roblox dev discords this is the most active tbh

[regal salmon]

so its just whenever a staff member is online and reviewing them

[violet cosmos]

ik

[regal salmon]

if it were a channel you could type in, maybe

[violet cosmos]

it cant be that slow

[regal salmon]

its also the largest, no?

[golden coral]

Yeaa

[violet cosmos]

the largest still feels dead , the smaller ones are even worse

[regal salmon]

maybe youre just online at bad times

[golden coral]

Oh am I top three yet nov?

[regal salmon]

idk im not home rn

[violet cosmos]

kinda

[golden coral]

That’s probably why it’s taking so longggg are u the only one that really looks at apps?

[regal salmon]

no

[mossy lynx]

what nested code u skid

theres none

if there is please point it out so I can fix

[errant elm]

are string requires stable yet?

[exotic phoenix]

I've been devving for the past 13 hours

its 5 am

anyone wanna go gamejam with me

[lost dragon]

Yo @regal salmon

I had a quick question

[regal salmon]

whats up

I was going to say it in dms

It’s not abt requesting work or nun

[mossy lynx]

[remote bear]

unfortunately very true, i am not even sure when i last time i used lighting or unions 😔

[pine cave]

Holy How do yall study this..

As an Animator im Questioning rn 😭😂

[remote bear]

most of how i learnt about/ built rasterisers is from this series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXSuNxpCzdM

he explains it well

[pine cave]

Yooo Thanks for lmk!! I literally tired coding few years back gave up Cuz of the lack of Explanations from others.. How long did it take you to master this 👀!

[pine cave]

Alr il check it out

I also got one more doubt.. Im guessin learning this full series can get u to a skill where u can make any games on roblox if im right..?

[remote bear]

a while, since Roblox has its weird quirks that you only really notice when trying to rewrite code from c++/ any other language. It also helps knowing a bit of any C language with the tutorial. I also used a modified version of this for the display https://devforum.roblox.com/t/canvasdraw-a-powerful-pixel-based-graphics-library-draw-pixels-lines-triangles-readmodify-image-data-and-much-more/1624633

[pine cave]

Oooo I see

[remote bear]

not really since its not for luau. its written in c++

[pine cave]

Aah i understand

I respect Scripters Like you alot! Seeing that is Insanely Impressive Made my jaw drop lol 😂🫡

[maiden crag]

how do i script tool animations?
like there are wielded tools in ma2 files, and they have anims, how do i make them play in game?

[plush oxide]

just write it bro

its not that hard

You have a game??

[remote bear]

Using matrixes is the most common method for 3d rasterisers 😔

[naive dawn]

no, logic gates

[rustic lodge]

You have?

[glass prairie]

dude this guy is just saying shit, it’s not a gpt 5.5 bot is it

[fair mesa]

im trying to learn datastoring but its not going so good
i tried reading roblox docs
but it went right through my head, any suggestions?

[rotund pawn]

Hi guys,
Do you know game galaxy?
It has target billboard UI that works even out of render distance, I need something similar:
I have scan device that analyzes object by clicking on "Target" like UI, to show player what is that object.
But I do not have idea how.

Okay so my ideal solution is to give each UI list of attributes that will be shown when that UI is clicked on.
Any alternatives?

[modest hound]

when i print the result it ends up being shifted with cframe normally and orientiation being 110

i want it to use them both aas position and orientation

im not very good with cframes and welds

[fathom hawk]

what is this

remember theres also size

and u might be forgot that

[jaunty scaffold]

CFrame.angles doesnt take degrees

its radians

(0, math.rad(90), 0)

do that

I hate music but I'm great at coding can I help you?

[gusty fiber]

I have the code for the upgrade UI like slime rng

[manic nacelle]

That shiii is open source everywhere atp

[gusty fiber]

yeah i made it while back though

[manic nacelle]

Ah you coded it yourself?

[gusty fiber]

yeah like start of this year

[prime plank]

not complicated

[mellow wasp]

anyone want to partner and work on a cash grab together

[night vine]

does any of you scripters know how to change places but extremely clean
for example if i blink im in another building for some seconds before i blink again and return

[gusty fiber]

I didnt say it was but hes the one asking for help

[finite robin]

do you have a game idea

[mellow wasp]

ye

dm me

[prime plank]

:pivotto

[thin stream]

Do you mean like a swinging animation

[jovial ore]

dude why are there stuff that run perfectly on multi-client studio testing, but for some reason it just refuses to run in the actual game 😭 im so tired of this

[prime plank]

shit loads way slower

thats why j got a button that like initiates everything

[jovial ore]

we've been running this shi for whole minutes bro

[prime plank]

not the problem

IF A waitforchild fails thr whole system breaks

or a findfirsrchild

(Depends on ypur code)

[jovial ore]

it didnt happen to me

my code was silently being stubborn as heck

[prime plank]

if it doesnt error

then goodluck

you will debug for a long yime

[slate path]

sure

[short trellis]

91 robux commision dont ask the percific price

[cyan yarrow]

for position you cant use CFrame.Angles. Just normal vector3 or CFrame

[cyan yarrow]

use the profilestore module. its easy to setup. plus it can reconcile your newdata. and also you dont have to manage your data through runtime across modules. you can Just make a function like PlayerService.GetData(Player) (this function will return the entire player data and can acces the values like a normal table in luau)

[real karma]

what did u add

[slender crag]

read his name

also isn't that the realistic rain module

[short trellis]

wdym

[twilit cloud]

you know what they mean

[short trellis]

i dont

[twilit cloud]

they saying did you actually make it from scratch

[slender crag]

https://tenor.com/view/does-he-know-paul-dano-riddler-somarra-gif-835799788689308789

[short trellis]

how else would i make it

[twilit cloud]

uhh

[short trellis]

its a script i made

obvs

[twilit cloud]

a module?

wydm how else

there are many ways

[short trellis]

oh

i just made it from a script

what other ways can i make it?

[twilit cloud]

not like that

i mean

is it 100% from you

are you using someones module

[short trellis]

yes

no bro

[twilit cloud]

thats what theyre asking

thats all

[short trellis]

oh ok

@slender crag no its not

[twilit cloud]

what about the texture

[short trellis]

its not that

[short trellis]

texture is an image

[slender crag]

It has the same feature of switching into a different texture upon looking downwards

[twilit cloud]

https://tenor.com/view/woloss-albert-einstein-nikola-tesla-gif-15274297963068759569

[slender crag]

but that's fine it's okay you can do what you like

[short trellis]

i dont know what else you would like me to say i made it

[slender crag]

hustling

[real karma]

there's a plugin which does that

just twqo clicks and you can get that

• it allows u add thunderstorm, lightnings, storms and wtv

[slender crag]

cool

[lost dragon]

Anybody got suggestions to improve my parkour system (ledgehang, ledgeclimb, mantling)

place holder anims are in use

[willow void]

does anyone know how to make global announcements =

[lost dragon]

The raycasting and etc are already pretty advanced

[willow void]

?

[versed pier]

look up basic parkour tutorials online, theyll show you the kinds of things that you can add

[lost dragon]

I have all the main functions etc

I need tips to Improve accuracy and make system smoother lol

[versed pier]

im not too sure from that one clip alone, but if you wanted to make it look smoother then study the camera movement of source engine games like gmod or half life

[modest hound]

oh

i need orientation too

[static coral]

messaging service

[willow void]

yea i figured but my dumbahh is too dumb to code that, even after i codes 10s of thousands of lines

[static coral]

u just subscribe to message to listen to it and then use post to send messages

just read the docs

[lost dragon]

10s?

yea wrap it up

[willow void]

10k lines in this game

rn

ive worked like 8h on it tdy

but its also my 1st week of being a dev

[lost dragon]

so your telling me you learned to script in a week

and is writing 10k lines that quic

[slender crag]

10k lines for doing what

[willow void]

well i watched many youtube tutorials yea

[lost dragon]

my parkour/movement system dosent even have that much lines

[wide sparrow]

10k lines

for global annoucnemenmts?

[lost dragon]

yea smb is lying

[earnest fossil]

i dont even think i wrote that many lines in my life

[wide sparrow]

bro this is unimaginable levels of larping

[lost dragon]

I have for a full game

but it wasnt in one script lmao

[earnest fossil]

wait wait, for a GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT...?

[candid crane]

thats like afew cents

[slender crag]

not a single reused method in sight

[lost dragon]

its a bunch of print codes

[wide sparrow]

bro i refuise its more than 500 lines let alone 10k

[earnest fossil]

aint global announcements like what 60 lines

or even less

[candid crane]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1094498521916379156/1094531868264767528/BD63213C-053B-430B-A602-B85BA6991287.gif

[earnest fossil]

its just a messaging service thingy and thats it

[slender crag]

my unoptimized old game had only 1.5k lines

[lost dragon]

well most good games have over 10k lines of code

not dumb braintrot games tho

[candid crane]

most good games are organised

[lost dragon]

yeah that too

[candid crane]

and donthave 10k

[lost dragon]

no I mean good games

like phantom forces

not like hide and seek

[slender crag]

what could your code be doing to need 10k lines

[candid crane]

hide and seek is W

[earnest fossil]

fps games would make sense to have over 5 - 10k lines

[candid crane]

fr 😭

[lost dragon]

unless your making phantom forces 😭

[candid crane]

ever heardof OOP

and ModuleScript

[earnest fossil]

acting like i dont write modular scripts

[slender crag]

like the lines doesn't matter it's about sending a message accurately and efficiently

[candid crane]

OOP?

[earnest fossil]

ive used it many times

[lost dragon]

optimization gets rid of those useless lines of code

[wide sparrow]

eh

[willow void]

now for the whole game

[lost dragon]

makes a 500 line script into a 250 line script

[wide sparrow]

it gets to a point of organization

[lost dragon]

well more like 300-350

[candid crane]

Object Orientated Programming

[wide sparrow]

okay i swear to god if this game is anything short of an fps or rpg

[earnest fossil]

if theres 10k for global then i dont wanna know what the rest is

💀

[lost dragon]

Can you guess my brain rot

[wide sparrow]

dude what was the point of throwing OOP in here

literally is not related to what i mean

[candid crane]

bc some dude said for a good game they at least have 10k lines of code

[earnest fossil]

theres some good games that got over 200k*

[wide sparrow]

lines of code is a horrible metric but again if good means rpg or fps you can still get by in waaaayyyy less

[lost dragon]

BRO whats funny , 2 guys commissioned me yesterday to script their whole game system, come to find out they gave me a stolen game template . I was getting paid 50k - 80k each game

I had to stop working once I found out

[wide sparrow]

a lot of lines of code is just duplicate garbage (like a bunch of instance.news and property setting) which makes it look waaaayyyy bigger than it actually is

[willow void]

uhm uh uh its RNG 😭

lol

[wide sparrow]

sonion ring

[willow void]

HJAHAHAHAHA

[earnest fossil]

god imagine if statements for each item in a RNG

[lost dragon]

or a bunch of useless rechecks

[earnest fossil]

"if result == "1/2 then"

🤮

[wide sparrow]

istg im guilty of rechecks though

[willow void]

lol

[wide sparrow]

ill check for arugmnet conditions within my api then my helper and then my caller

[lost dragon]

rechecks are cool , but once the script works , remove them

[candid crane]

math.math = x * x

[lost dragon]

especially if your function doesn't need the value to be checked to work

[candid crane]

functions are light

[earnest fossil]

defining the same function twice

[lost dragon]

ik, that was just an example

[earnest fossil]

but different names

[lost dragon]

I think ppl like saying their script has a lot of code cus it looks cooler and makes it seem that you know how to code

or to a dummy who dosent know anything

[earnest fossil]

i used to believe that if you write more code then youre a good coder, but no

[candid crane]

local f unction leaderstats(player)

blahblahblah

[lost dragon]

then the function just adds +1 to stat lmao

[candid crane]

😭

[earnest fossil]

if it sjust one use only then whats the point

😭

[gusty fiber]

oop doesnt mean organised

[candid crane]

canbe used for it

[gusty fiber]

you dont use oop for organised code it still matters how you structure your code

its independant

[candid crane]

honestly

i use visual studio

its better

for bigger g ames

@gusty fiber

[wide sparrow]

this is why i hate all these stupid videos on rojo because it leads to shit like this

[gusty fiber]

Rojo is a necessity

[gusty fiber]

yeah

[willow void]

how did we get from hatin on me to rojo sonion

[wheat harness]

what happened

[wheat harness]

eh, some games dont need 10k lines, some can reach 50k-100k lines.

[wide sparrow]

just pmo the superiority of using vscode and rojo especially for newer scripters

[candid crane]

ok bro

[wheat harness]

wdym

[candid crane]

ragebait

[wheat harness]

its not ragebait

[candid crane]

50k and 100k lines of code would be sooo fucking brain smashing

[wide sparrow]

i mean its not constrained to just roblox but in general i dont like how using tools makes people feel superior/better/more advanced even if they're gettinmg the same or less done than someone else

[wheat harness]

well its built over many many months

[candid crane]

thatll take like 3 days

kidding

[wheat harness]

i see

[slender crag]

Are we talking about lines in a single script or a game as a whole

[wheat harness]

game as a whole

[slender crag]

there

earlier his code had 10k lines for ONLY a global announcement which shouldn't be possible

[static coral]

if u got 10k lines for global announcement you should be banned off the internet 😭😭😭

[nova yarrow]

not bad

mine was like 80k loc iirc

[static coral]

what do you even need to do to get this many lines of code

[slender crag]

he is doing something very important

larping...

[nova yarrow]

its not complete

im planning to bring it to 300k currently

This a lil code that i made for ma game

Waittt its kinda buggy rn

[modern seal]

ive seen 30+ scripts for a single GUI

[gusty fiber]

What gui was that

[modern seal]

it was for a quiz game

codebase was written like total shit

[gusty fiber]

30 scripts is crazy

[modern seal]

i know

[modern seal]

the owner I bought the game from ran off w/out paying the scripter

Honestly I support the owner for doing that

scripters who write garbage/obfuscated codebase shouldn't be paid

It's sabotage

I think I gone hysterical reading through th codebase at one point i jss started laughing uncontrollably at howw bad it was

[fervent trout]

laughing uncontrollably

[modern seal]

IT WAS SOOO BAD

I was so angry at wht i js bought that i jss started laughing

200$ owo

[gusty fiber]

I dont udnesrtand why poeple who are bad scripters bother wiht dong any code for anyones game

[modern seal]

^^^

[gusty fiber]

what larp

[modern seal]

bad scripters scripting full games is larp imoo

like you r not ready to script a full game

[gusty fiber]

I mean doing code for a game as a comm

I see people with garbage ports posting in scripter for hire someitmes

[modern seal]

system surr but th dev im talking abt scripted it all

and it was horrid

[gusty fiber]

They have made nothing of substance and try get commissions

[modern seal]

bwaa

[gusty fiber]

yeah

[modern seal]

i'd apply for scripter role i jss dunno wht i would script

maybe I could submit my death system? it's just exactly 200 lines and brand new

[gusty fiber]

Death system?

[modern seal]

jss smth fun to make deaths more dramatic

[gusty fiber]

You could but its probably too simple

[modern seal]

its okay bc i got that :3 in me

[waxen dew]

how much would it cost to get someone to script this movement system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwLSgW3HQGE

[short trellis]

its not toolbox tho why does everyone think people that do lighting and skys use toolbox bro

[upper jay]

THATS DOPE

[modern seal]

TYY

[upper jay]

sure thing! could i see the code?

[modern seal]

only for the app readers to see!!!!!!!!!!!!

[upper jay]

30 scripts.. were any of them module scripts or do you dare say they were mostly normal scripts

[upper jay]

gahshsd i mean thats fair, ill just ask this then

what APIs does your script use

[modern seal]

api?

[upper jay]

in other words: services, datatypes, etc etc

[modern seal]

ooh

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local SkeletonFolder = game.Workspace.SkeletonFolder

local GhostIdle = ReplicatedStorage.Animations.ghost.idle
local GhostJump = ReplicatedStorage.Animations.ghost.jump
local GhostFall = ReplicatedStorage.Animations.ghost.fall
local GhostMoveLoop = ReplicatedStorage.Animations.ghost.walk
local GhostRun = ReplicatedStorage.Animations.ghost.run
local GhostRaise

[upper jay]

another thing, a common issue i see from failed applications are concerns over a lack of comments

[upper jay]

awesome awesome, honestly your video should speak enough

[modern seal]

tyyy

[upper jay]

a global announcement? whats the context, why the 10k lines of code?

YKNOW FOR CONTEXT, THIS IS LIKE ONLY 4K LINES

like all the scripts here combine into 4k lines

[elfin dome]

Anyone want to start a new projact with me?

[gusty fiber]

how long did it take you to make it

[candid crane]

Roblox is finding all the wrong paths in a city filled with correct paths

[lost dragon]

Already have

[lost dragon]

So now ima recreate your system for fun

But 3d nodes

[waxen dew]

this is witchcraft wtf

[slow inlet]

Is it okay to have 1 server script and 1 local script for your game, the rest are modules?

[lost dragon]

1 server and 1 client , and the rest could be modules

But I would still assume you would need other scripts

[slow inlet]

but its fine right?

good practice?

[gusty fiber]

yes

You need a god script for server and local

[regal salmon]

yup

[vivid mesa]

Anyone teach me pls i need to learn how to script

[spring badge]

its not easy thats for sure

[regal salmon]

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ1Qd31Hmi3W_CGDzYOp7enyHlOuO3MtC
https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting

[vivid mesa]

Will you?

[vivid mesa]

It no work for me

[regal salmon]

wdym

[vivid mesa]

Its hard to learn with

[vivid mesa]

You learn from?

[regal salmon]

i learned from those, yes

[vivid mesa]

How many years

[regal salmon]

i was doing roblox dev for 5 years

got decent at scripting about a year and a half in

but i also wasnt doing it very much until then lol

[regal salmon]

you need to put in the effort, not just watch the videos/read

[vivid mesa]

Ok

[regal salmon]

follow along and just make things

thats the best way to learn

youll have to keep going back and looking things up which is normal

[real adder]

yo but like everything requires like experience

[remote bear]

i dont even think i wrote over 4k lines for a full game. 10k is insane

the only thing that i know was close is a whitelist text system that was just for fooling around since its against TOS. the whitelist was about 7k lines but it was written by another program so i dont think it counts

[real hemlock]

o

[olive dew]

Why didn’t you just generate all of that from a word list in a loop instead of manually writing every buffer.write call?

[remote bear]

it took up less memory and was faster then going through a [[ string

[olive dew]

i can do it chat how much you offering

[fading galleon]

idk how much should I charge for it? dm me

[remote bear]

why? the video already says its for sale

[fading galleon]

I want to sell it myself

[cobalt pewter]

Yo. Whats the best way to learn coding?

[regal salmon]

trial and error

[cobalt pewter]

But idek where to start and I feel like the tutorials never really help too much

[regal salmon]

you need to follow along with them and try to apply what you learn to making something after you watch them

[cobalt pewter]

Is that what you did?

[regal salmon]

it doesnt feel like it helps at the start, but the more you code the more itll be engrained into your memory

[regal salmon]

i didnt do the 2nd part, but i would if i were to learn coding today

[cobalt pewter]

Makes sense

I hear people recommend BrawlDev. Might try him

[regal salmon]

yes

also the documentation

https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting

[cobalt pewter]

Ah thanks. How’d you learn?

[cloud charm]

Trying everything

[regal salmon]

uff it was a looong time ago so its a bit foggy, when i was first learning to code (C# for Unity), i used a lot of youtube tutorials to do specific things, e.g. making a character controller
over time i grew to understand the concepts used better and was able to write new things using those concepts as well as edit the existing ones
and of course i learned to think with coding logic and the syntax of the language
i used Unity as an example because once you know one language well, it's much much easier to learn another, so me learning to code in Luau was siginificantly less challenging than it wouldve been if it were my first language
i didnt use the docs much back then, but it wouldve benefited me greatly if i did lol

i also didnt have access to servers like this where i could ask questions

and this was before LLMs like existed so i didnt have that either lol

[upper jay]

still working on it, ive been taking my time and using it as a way to experiment and refine my preferred architecture etc etc

so far ive been working on this for say.. a month? but its not like super concentrated 12 hours every day or anything like that, i put a few hours per day

[cobalt pewter]

I appreciate it so much man. Ima keep practicing man. Just gotta find motivation for it fr.

[upper jay]

good luck! i used bezier curves, there will be a lot of problem solving that you'll have to figure out for your own implementation

[upper jay]

gfghh thank you, it took a bit of time and a lot of trial and error, research, etc etc

[regal salmon]

keeping your motive is the hardest part, but it's a great feeling once you're able to make something without the help of the internet!

[cobalt pewter]

Yeah. I find it easier to make stuff on my own with developing. But coding the language is like completely off so idk. Would you say Java is similar to Lua or nah

[regal salmon]

no it isnt

[hallow shadow]

Hey man, can you help me?

[regal salmon]

fundamentally (in terms of logic), all languages are the same
but syntax wise, they're completely different

[regal salmon]

wsp?

[hallow shadow]

dm

[cobalt pewter]

Oof. We did some Java in school so I was a lil curious

[regal salmon]

Python's a bit similar if you've ever done that

[upper jay]

oh yeah definitely, i could also recommend crusherfire for more technical videos

but i do want to say that once you get past a certain stage in programming, you'll eventually hit a brick wall after having learnt everything that tutorials and online resources have to offer. i say this because, by technicality, most professionals dont have the time or willpower to make tutorials about everything, hence why you'll have to be on the lookout.

i recommend finding people experienced that you could legit ask questions to, there are a lot of hidden insight that you'll have to dig for. devforum isnt bad, but there are a lot of non-professionals there, the same can be applied for any server (including this one), but granted hiddendevs has a bit more concentrations of experienced developers (see code helpers and some general outliers)

in other words, insight is important when you're getting it from people experienced enough to actually give insight

[cobalt pewter]

Nah I haven’t but thanks. My friend has coded a drone with python though which was cool

[cobalt pewter]

Thank you. I’ll look into him. Thank you for the advice too.

[upper jay]

genuinely curious, whats your experience with roblox?

[regal salmon]

like how long i did it for?

or

[upper jay]

yeah sure! and also what projects youve tried, etc etc

have you ever done work for hire or nahh

unrelated but i was actually thinking of applying for application reader, but the time commitment would probably end me.. gshfh, especially more for scripter helper

[regal salmon]

i did roblox scripting for about 5 years (2021-earlier this year)
i tried out a buuunch of different projects of varying types, most never released and a lot just for fun
i released one game, which was a Doors fangame back when Doors was popular and it got like 350k visits
another interesting project was a magical dungeon crawler, i got like a spell casting system down and stuff but decided it was too big for me at the time lol
i never really did much paid work, only a couple commissions, most notable being one i did for $500 USD, but i worked on games with friends a lot for free
before i quit i was working on a reimagining of my old doors fangame, then all the updates happened and i lost interest in roblox
but yeah overall ive made like a lot of random systems and stuff lol so its hard to specify exactly what ive done
now ive moved on to making Unity games on Steam :)

[regal salmon]

its actually not that big of a time committment, at the least you really only need a couple minutes a day to go through some applications

[upper jay]

ah i see, well i was unfortunately busy during the application period gshghh

its already over right?

no more way to apply

[regal salmon]

yes

[upper jay]

alrighty

[regal salmon]

though interestingly enough i never actually applied

[upper jay]

oh?

[regal salmon]

i was just active enough in scripting channels to be reached out to with an offer to join

[upper jay]

we're ya just given the role lol

oh wowww

[regal salmon]

still went through the normal internship process and stuff, but i didnt fill out an application

[upper jay]

oh thats sick! good luck on your steam games

[regal salmon]

thank you

[cobalt pewter]

What was the doors fan game? How’d that work?

[regal salmon]

ive learned the hard way that solo dev is NOT for me, so i've gathered a team of 4 other people filling the roles that i'm not so good at (aka everything other than coding)

[upper jay]

curious, is comment verbosity one of your criterias for ranking scripting applications?

[regal salmon]

it's called ROCK BOTTOM, basically it was a floor 2 game before floor 2 came out
i did all my advertising on social media and in my discord server (posting sneak peeks/teasers and stuff), posting trailers, the OST, other teasers on YT mostly
then i published it and it wasnt the most popular fangame ever but it got more attention than i thought it would when i started
got 350k visits and >100k robux

[upper jay]

gshfhh, team building is important for sure

[regal salmon]

depends on necessity
if you way overexplain we'll probably think it's ai depending on wording and all since ai likes to overexplain, but if you underexplain it's probably not sufficent
you just need to show that you understand how and why the code works, and how it fits in with the rest of the code

[upper jay]

as for me, ive only published a short animation game (i did the animation too, it was built like an animated music video) and it garnered about 267k visits and that was a purely solo project gshgg

[regal salmon]

oh nice lol, what kind of animation game?

[upper jay]

I THINK IVE HEARD OF YOUR GAME BEFORE

[regal salmon]

oh wait you say it

[regal salmon]

really?

lmfao

its this https://www.roblox.com/games/14298848752/ROCK-BOTTOM

[upper jay]

well im not too sure but ive always seen a lot of door fangames back then, even until now

well not really now but

once in a blue moon

[regal salmon]

i dont see them as much naturally anymore, but im still in a couple fangame servers and occasionally get sent random trailers

[upper jay]

i have made a fanmade doors entity concept before

that i actually coded in studio

would you like to see? meanwhile, do u have a video/trailer for rock bottom, id like to see

[cobalt pewter]

Ahh that’s pretty cool.

[regal salmon]

sure, though idk how well ill be able to see rn since im not home atm lol
these ar ethe two main trailers for the game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSSRqCVbOTE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAkAc4AIerc

[cobalt pewter]

How long did it take you to make that?

[regal salmon]

its NOT very good i will warn you

[upper jay]

oh nvm! i havent seen this one

[regal salmon]

the first one was made completely solo and the 2nd one most of the modeling was done by a fairly new modeler

[regal salmon]

couple months for both the first version and the update each

[cobalt pewter]

Ah. It’s not that bad honestly. Better than anything id be able to

[upper jay]

thats pretty interesting actually!

appreciating the effort

2ND one is definitely better it terms of atmosphere

[cobalt pewter]

One day I’ll be a tuff dev like you guys

[upper jay]

https://youtu.be/qqytw1qYJcU?si=nzuTa7nzHFU_sxeG

it was a quick prototype

this is something i made on my own, photoshopped some roblox faces and whatnot to make the entity hahghh

[regal salmon]

that's cool! i like it

[regal salmon]

i concur

i made all the music up until vol. 3 of the ost myself

which is why its all butt!!

[upper jay]

OH THATS ACTUALLY COOL

wish you the best of luck in ur future endeavors

like

genre?

Yea

[golden coral]

And like what’s the concept

[regal salmon]

stealth co-op would be the main genre ig

[regal salmon]

not announced yet 🤫

in due time, my child

but its got to do with magic and stealth and its in similar gameplay style to games like lethal company, content warning, repo, yapyap, etc

[golden coral]

Ahhh gotchu yea the name would be tricky unless it’s non game related

[regal salmon]

yeah lol

the one i have rn isnt like bad but i would prefer to come up with something better lol

for a WHOLE game $100 is not a lot

[agile sigil]

It’s pretty simple

[regal salmon]

what is it?

[agile sigil]

Wait no it’s just the scripting

He gave me a template

[agile sigil]

A game similar to guess the animal

[regal salmon]

ah a template

okay it makes more sense now

Yes

But idk how he found me

I think I posted a vid of a grappling system I made

And then he saw that and hmu

guys is there a way in which i can test a game with an alt or something without being age verified?
i need to test a steal system, but my game's datastores seem to bug studio so i cant test there

and when i got a verified friend to do it for me, i still have to verify my age to be able to play his game

hello guys, im trying to start scripting comissions, is anyone experienced enough in this domain can answer few of my question, that would be really kind, thanks !

[gusty fiber]

what questions

[dark karma]

do you mind if i dm you ?

[gusty fiber]

sure

[midnight dock]

im just getting into lua roblox studio

ive been working with python and C++ since i was 15 so like for 4 years

whats some stuff i can do with python and C++ in roblox studio

[dark karma]

luau is really similar to python

[midnight dock]

yeah it is

but python u got alot of libraries to pick from

but luau has stuff like module scripts tho

i can use other ppls libraries

[valid plover]

you used cpp though so im sure you're somewhat used to independent projects

roblox has a lot of libs yeah

[midnight dock]

yeah ngl

if i got cpp down this lua sh will be ez af

[valid plover]

it's the easiest language imo

alongside python of course

[feral night]

I feel u gng

Had a massive bugs for days too and didnt understand why

It turns out i just didn't add two == on my if statement, i added only one

Thats it

is there a LeftVector?

[cosmic orchid]

pretty sure

or just do -rightvector

Making proximity prompt from an object move another object

[eager sparrow]

guys how to post that i am hirable in #scripter-hirable i went to #marketplace-info and it saying this (To make a Hireable post, you must have the respective skill role. For more info run /tag view apps) i dont understant

[valid plover]

no

[remote bear]

How did you now know sooner? Roblox returns exceptions for syntax errors like that

[regal salmon]

you need to have the Luau Programmer role to make posts in #scripter-hirable
you can apply for the role at https://hiddendevs.com/applications

[regal salmon]

not much point, only person they ruin it for is themselves

how to I put in a code box

why is it that when I add tween service in the middle it gets messed up

[golden coral]

Yo nov is my app moving? Been 5 days

[olive dew]

is this a localscript?

[pine harness]

no

I think I found the issue

[olive dew]

Also check: local HidePrompt = script.Parent script.Parent must actually be the ProximityPrompt.

[olive dew]

what was it

[pine harness]

I think the tween I created has the issue

Because when I delete it it works

the tween goal to be exact

[olive dew]

Most likely TweenService:Create(LeftDoor, LeftTweenInfo, LeftGoal) is failing because LeftDoor / RightDoor is a Model, not a BasePart. TweenService can tween Part.CFrame, but not a model’s CFrame.

[pine harness]

yes

Exactly

thank you so much

[opal pasture]

is the VPS provider capping it or is AWS region throttling 😭

[surreal zodiac]

Vps?

As in

[opal pasture]

Yeah like the server host/provider itself

I didnt know if you usin it but still its cooked 😭

[surreal zodiac]

My region looks fine

[neon sage]

Are u using like a super cheap vps or something

[surreal zodiac]

Ooo that could be the cause?

[neon sage]

slow ass mirror. cheap vps. bad network card

Thats the likely problem

[brave delta]

can you teach complete beginners too?

[dusky moon]

is it better to code gui based off starter gui, or code it referencing player gui

[ebon valley]

local gui = startergui.gui

[pine harness]

How I make it so that player tween is not so jittery

[primal pagoda]

Is there any way to make a post for hosting services, or is that kinda odd?

[lusty slate]

alr thanks

[fathom hawk]

hello i made a simple round system counter but when round ends instead of making MinCount to 9 it sets to 8 why

oh wait yeah ai exist

[last sparrow]

yeah but always remember that u should to get it instead of copy-pasting the code

[fathom hawk]

i never use ai to write the code itself it just fixes my bugs that i dont understand

[last sparrow]

yeah, that's progress, but try to get your mistakes in the code also

so u will get better in future

[fathom hawk]

yeah thanks

[modest owl]

i know this is a stupid question but how do i start learning coding do i read docs do i watch youtube videos genuinely what do i do? ive already learnt building quite well but i think this is kinda diffrent?

[fathom hawk]

and also ai just made script even worse bruh

[nocturne delta]

because once u set it to 9, itll subtract it by one again since you're in a loop

[last sparrow]

do you have any experience in scripting or at least logic things?

[modest owl]

none all i know is building and modelling

[last sparrow]

i think i would recommend to watch some YT instead of docs

at first

[fathom hawk]

before luau scripting all i had was python if elseif else

[last sparrow]

bc docs is described

[modest owl]

alright bet got any good youtubers or videos to recommend?

[last sparrow]

so YT videos is easier to understand

[modest owl]

alright

[fathom hawk]

BrawlDev

[modest owl]

thanks alot man

[modest owl]

brawl dev bet

[last sparrow]

i am not sure but try brawl dev

[modest owl]

i heard he had like a series

[last sparrow]

i am russian so i only knows two of good ytubers who helped me to learn the basics

[fathom hawk]

yeah watch the basics, advanced scripting series then just go read really advanced stuff from docs

[modest owl]

okay so brawldev it is

[modest owl]

bet

i dragged my friend into this that has no dev experience so it can be more fun

[last sparrow]

its my dream

[last sparrow]

i have some advices for you

[fathom hawk]

sure

[last sparrow]

do yk % operator?

what it does

[fathom hawk]

division i think

[modest owl]

alr imma start watching once hes back

[last sparrow]

almost got it

but not at all

[bold egret]

Guys

[fathom hawk]

idk i dont use operators too much

[bold egret]

I'm making a game called Slime Tower defense

[fathom hawk]

i mostly use = < >

[bold egret]

but idk what to use as enemies

since slimes should be towers

[last sparrow]

yeah its basics but usage knowledge of operators is pretty useful

so what it does

its remainder of the division

[fathom hawk]

oh wait yeah division is /

[last sparrow]

imagine u have to divide 120/60

so 120 seconds is 2 minutes right, 60 seconds - 1 minute

u get 2 minutes

[last sparrow]

this code is kinda basic but not practical

so what does 120%60 is remainder of the division

basically, how many 120 fits in 60

umm sec

that's a bad example

yeah, meant how many 120 dont fits in 60

[fathom hawk]

uhh what

[last sparrow]

ik its complicated, i am bad in explaining things but i will try to do it

if u will do like 119%60, u will get 59

[nocturne delta]

just look at the operator definitions on the roblox or lua wiki online

[last sparrow]

its like a fraction

[nocturne delta]

don't let the guy confuse you

[last sparrow]

mb, i tried to explain things

[fathom hawk]

he just tried to help me

[nocturne delta]

ye and thats fine but when theres literal countless resources for something like this online its kind of fruitless to explain it

you're only going to confuse yourself and each other more

[prime plank]

Brainrot

greatest duo

and cheap

[foggy oriole]

wsg yall

[snow raft]

why do i code like an ai

[versed arch]

this site is bullshit

[wise turtle]

ai detection for code probably sucks

[hasty mesa]

haiiiiiiii

[wise turtle]

for everything really its not too accurate

[snow raft]

it has an "AI Humanize" section at the top

i would bet most people using that app are people checking if their AI code is easily detectable

it probably marks almost all code as ai generated

[wise turtle]

probably

[snow raft]

it is now time to wait 3 days to see i did not add enough comments to get the skill role

https://github.com/fractal-h/Roblox-Packages/blob/main/InterserverQueueService.luau

woohoo

[foggy gazelle]

so you just have to publish it in a repo and do that form?

[snow raft]

yea

[drowsy whale]

claude scripting lowkey better than the people i hired

[supple spindle]

it wouldnt even surprise me if the people you hired were using claude aswel

[foggy gazelle]

how much do you pay them

[drowsy whale]

100-1k per sysrm

[foggy gazelle]

what do you expect then

[drowsy whale]

i exepect atleast some competency

[foggy gazelle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/832374622842126380/1253526646808641536/togif.gif

[snow raft]

this is what competency costs

unless you have atleast $100 its best to try to do it yourself

[drowsy whale]

yea lemme give you may 2 arms aswell

[snow raft]

300k is like 1,000 a month

thats probably less than minimum wage

and knowing that server specifically its probably a game that will require many many hours

[supple spindle]

• percentage + you probably dont work 40h a week

[snow raft]

have you ever been given a .rbx file with 500 models and a map then given a week and a half to turn it into a fully polished game

if you havent

dont speak on how many hours you put in

[supple spindle]

maybe game is making 6 million robux a month and you get 10% then you would get 900k a month thats 3k

[supple spindle]

scripts not given?

[snow raft]

if you are the programmer

why would scripts be included

what is your role then

[supple spindle]

ohhh like that alright let me calculate hold up

40 hours for 25 bucks and hour

[snow raft]

that would be like 4k a month

[supple spindle]

yeah in 40 hours its possible but you would need to work really fast and also let AI do most of the base code tbf

[snow raft]

no

[supple spindle]

why no?

it also really depends on the game

[snow raft]

that assumes you have a reasonable deadline

people want things done asap

you get like 1 week or 2 if you are lucky

[supple spindle]

yeah i know im also talking about a 40h week

[drowsy whale]

yea thats comapny level
99% dont habe that

[supple spindle]

just a regular work week

[snow raft]

ive had weeks where i put in 70 hours

[supple spindle]

so 40h = 1 week

[snow raft]

what relevancy does this have to anything

[supple spindle]

yeah that can be frustrating, that why i said that its better to have AI do most of the base code

[supple spindle]

because thats what someone who works full time does?

wym

[snow raft]

ai isnt reliable and if i have the skills why would i make ai do it

the only time i ever use ai is when

[supple spindle]

like i said, you put in 70h of work
with AI it could have been 40

[snow raft]

i have a trello page with a bunch of data i gotta move into a data structure in studio

[supple spindle]

its literally just saving time, nothing more nothing less

[snow raft]

and i just copy and paste the data and tell ai to format it

[snow raft]

with ai I couldve gotten fired

[supple spindle]

i said the base code

base code is like unrecognizable from the finished product

[snow raft]

define base code

[foggy gazelle]

exactly

[supple spindle]

like the first important thing
lets say you got a game
the gameloop is part of the base code

[foggy gazelle]

unless he wanna hire some underaged kid who vibe code

[supple spindle]

however you cannot just copy paste the gameloop and let it be like that

no it has a lot of unfinished elements still

[snow raft]

the game loop is one of the last things you make?

to have a game loop you need game features

to have game features you need backend handling of data player values server values everything

[supple spindle]

that depends on where you would start tbf

[snow raft]

a "base feature" would be carrying a brainrot over your head for example

do you know how much ground work has to be done prior to that feature being made

[supple spindle]

it does not matter as a programmer you can start were you like, the gameloop is important and it a lot of cases it does not come as last

like in a PVP game you can define spawns, rounds, states, etc... without anything

[snow raft]

so by base code you just mean

anything that doesnt have a dependency

[supple spindle]

yeah like that, like the very and every starting point

[snow raft]

thats like maybe 10% of the game

[supple spindle]

but you have starting points in every module and every script

thats more than 10%

[snow raft]

almost every script i make starts with "require" then the directory to a module script

[supple spindle]

yes and then the module itself has a "beginning" and a core

beginning is to define everything

core is to script the defined stuff

and most of the time AI can give a pretty solid base for that

and you just then start to script from that base

[gusty fiber]

you shouldnt let AI make your base

[foggy gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/flight-flightreacts-flight-reacts-flight-wtf-flightreacts-staring-gif-16476936065211111421

[snow raft]

so build a house held up by twigs

[supple spindle]

lmao how

its just the base its nothing complicated

[gusty fiber]

in order for ai to make your base you need to explain explicity to the point its faster to make you rself

Ai works a lot better when you make the base yourself so it doesnt have to invent new architecture

[supple spindle]

did you ever use AI? it would probably even understand you if you made up a language lmao

[gusty fiber]

didnt say it cant do it just it cant do it well

unless you prompt it very detailed

[supple spindle]

doesnt need to be anymore ngl

[restive moss]

ai can do only just 1-2 things at the time, not the whole base

[gusty fiber]

Up to you, use ai then youll see youll need to rewrite a lot later

[supple spindle]

it advanced like crazy

[gusty fiber]

unless your game is very simple

[restive moss]

it doesn't know best practices, it doesn't know how YOU want to build architecture even in one single module

if you describe just everything, prompt becomes so huge its really easier to code it yourself
