@sterile rivet you might be interested

[ebon bear]

DAMNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is fire

[quaint sentinel]

You should draw the FACh (Chilean Air Force) f-16 since it has a unique camo pattern

looks nice although the trajectory of the missile looks quite odd

[spiral sigil]

Could do it at some point, my next like 5 projects are naval aircraft tho

[quaint sentinel]

if you do, draw the double seater version with the dorsal spine

[spiral sigil]

16D+?

[quaint sentinel]

we should probably move to another place but i think so

[primal river]

remodeled a dmr fuel cell for uh... reasons

[sterile rivet]

Oooh nice

I dig it

[fading spire]

Reminds me of reinciprocating engine thing

Or steam engine

[ebon bear]

cuz is it

[fading spire]

I see

[tawny flare]

👀

[glass shoal]

I love this

[dense storm]

Thanks !

[humble cedar]

thats one detailed printer holy shit

pretty good

one thing i will say

the control panel seems to have a lot of parts, so be wary of that if you use it in a game

[ebon bear]

thanks

but the thing only have 239 parts soo

:p

[naive elm]

💀

[ebon bear]

so?

[naive elm]

that's like a minimum of 3k tris per copier

[ebon bear]

This one have like 3171 parts

[humble cedar]

one thing i should mention, the game will still have a geothermal field

the reactor will be a second heat source

[teal loom]

How

[sterile rivet]

I modeled and textured a car off a single reference image

this one to be precise

[humble cedar]

wdym how

[teal loom]

How do you do something so detailed

[humble cedar]

i simply do

it just takes practice
studying what parts are used to make something detailed can also really help

[ebon bear]

now make it work

:3

[sterile rivet]

nuh uh

[ebon bear]

[tawny flare]

did you like

crop the ref picture

[fading spire]

thats a car!

very cool looking car

[teal loom]

Something feels off abt this handle

[red venture]

its too thjick

[neon obsidian]

or rather its a bit too small or bud to have a proper grip if you were to imagine a hand grabbing onto it

you can try to expand the length of the handle and see if that makes ideal?

[stoic tapir]

nature showcase
took me a few hours

was made as a gift to someone close to me

[burnt salmon]

Made the Goo from Bee Swarm Simulator

That pattern is not random and took a lot of trial and error

[fleet zealot]

where can i study such things

[humble cedar]

just look at a build that seems detailed and try to figure out how parts are used to make that detail

[fleet zealot]

gotcha

[primal thistle]

I THOUGHT THIS WAS REAL FOR A SECOND

🔥

[tawny flare]

this looks really nice

but the bridge gave it away...

it looks real

but the bridge...

[primal thistle]

yeah the bridge could use a better wood material but its still really good

[tawny flare]

yea

[crystal grail]

woaaaaaaaahahahaaa

🔥

[ebon bear]

omg it look soo good

[teal loom]

Roblox terrain or meshes?

[primal thistle]

looks like a combo of both

[stoic tapir]

terrain is the base

its decorated with meshes

[distant violet]

dunno if core radius is needed for my ball core

[distant violet]

Nah, radius and magnetic shield intensity are complexity for sake of complexity

[stoic tapir]

Trying some fantasy stuff

(i know the shingles look like hell, theyre meshes)

[sterile rivet]

Oh that looks wonderful

Great work!

[tawny flare]

[mellow jungle]

the shadows are too dark, try making them lighter to make it more realistic

unless it's meant for a planet with little to no atmosphere, the shadows should be a lot lighter

[uncut swan]

floating red plasma ball of death

[vagrant monolith]

can i go into it

[humble cedar]

i love the flatter layout of the core chamber, gives off a more practical and grounded vibe
the usage of particles is great too, it isnt overdone like most ball cores while still looking great
once criticism i do have is that the chamber feels kind of empty, i feel like some pipes, machinery and props could go a long way in making things more interesting

[uncut swan]

thanks for feedback 👍 ill keep that in mind

Damn you are good

I like where this is going

Good luck, and nice job so far!

[dense dawn]

me too buddy

this is semi-realistic

[sterile rivet]

Honestly trying to remake the entire madison research facility would be a fun challenge

I personally like the idea too so I may give it a shot

[ebon bear]

qserf in source

[sterile rivet]

Yeah

[hearty temple]

Sadly, but source engine is having **limits **

[sterile rivet]

That's definitely true

You could add loading screens between areas

[ebon bear]

what about the cavern

[sterile rivet]

Displacement hell

[ebon bear]

[hearty temple]

yeah.

[sterile rivet]

Do you use stock hammer or hammer++?

[hearty temple]

I'm using special edition for P2:CE

It's more optimized

[sterile rivet]

Oohh

I personally really like the skybox preview and model viewer of hammer++

And the rendering options are also nice

[sterile rivet]

You get to do full lighting bakes in the editor

[dense dawn]

oh god this is fantastic.

[hearty temple]

same goes in strata source

[hearty temple]

but it has bugs

Like this one

[sterile rivet]

Hate it when my filing cabinets begin to fade into the ether man

Worst thing in the world

You know what

I'm gonna do a little mapping

[hearty temple]

I like it

[fleet bobcat]

me when it table

[dense storm]

Something.

[hearty temple]

looks good

[hearty temple]

lmao

[grand knot]

someone explain me the difference pls

[lament heath]

configure this place = studio
configure this experience + game configuration page

i think

i might be wrong

[grand knot]

figured it out

place is the actual thing you play in

you can have multiple places in an experiance

https://www.roblox.com/games/14959674729/Eastern-Seaboard-Communications-Diode-Control-Site i made a silly lil game because i got bored, yes it uses free models idk how to get started scripting

complete with a hidden little epsilon 8 section

[fading spire]

There is actual meaning behind it lol but i dont know the differences i just open both tab and see what i could do

Someone may have better explanation to ot

It*

[hoary orchid]

ok

so

places are inside of a game

*experience

a experience can have multiple places

you can teleport from place to place in the game

[fading spire]

Half or most of people in roblox:

[sharp apex]

experience is the game as a whole

place is just the starter place ig

[fleet bobcat]

first off why tf is it actually like sick af, but second off it would appear you forgot to anchor some parts for a hallway

but again, it is actually really cool

[grand knot]

first time ive posted a game with free models and not been yelled at for it, hallway has been fixed

the lights and control panels are actually from a guy who released a bunch of assests for his nuclear reactor game, and a lot of the military trucks/boxe and items in the lobby are actually imported from Black Mesa

[fleet bobcat]

interesting, but it is honestly a very cool idea. ngl would be cool if SST actual made one with east eggs or little hints towards something bigger

[grand knot]

redid the facility lighting, more of the walls are dark gray, SEAL 02 replaced with the same door as SEAL 01

new storage room

im trying to do th server room for ESCD but i can't find servers similar to the FAAS ones

[fleet bobcat]

might have to custom make them

[grand knot]

i can try

im not good at it

im gonna go get server reference photos from qserf actually

[fleet bobcat]

most of it is lights and like screw things

so it's not too terribly complex

the wheels are probably the hardest

[grand knot]

yea i was thinking that

these are in the commuications management room

[ebon bear]

A recreation of these made by me

[grand knot]

cool

im gonna try to make my own since i need me

em

probably these 3

[hoary orchid]

i noticed the control room has phones to snl and the mrc, these don't coexist at the same time

[grand knot]

ok

ill change it to n/a i guess

unless there is somewhere else to put it

this is my thing so far

its not very good but it'll work i think

[ebon bear]

IBM 729

[grand knot]

cool

[grand knot]

thanks

basiclly the same

[ebon bear]

You could try to improve more

[grand knot]

yeah i know

[ebon bear]

Yeah that’s not my model

[grand knot]

ok

do you know the names of any that look like uhh

this

[ebon bear]

Idk maybe

Portal 2 Server, mainframe

Look it ip

Up

[grand knot]

ok time to build server room thank you

maybe ill learn to get better later but this is just a fun little game for me and friends to mess around in so

[grand knot]

future lighting I just discovered it's so good

[hearty temple]

Just finished making this area

[hearty temple]

What do you think about it

[grand knot]

Can't tell what it is but it is cool lookin

[brazen crag]

niec me like

[fleet bobcat]

@grand knot what are the light settings for the ESCD?

it looks absolutely amazing

[grand knot]

i used a different guy's lights and set it to future

and thanks :>

[ebon bear]

Future Light are cool

Future only work or look well if you know how to use it

[fading spire]

I didnt finish scriptin yet

[ebon bear]

idk

we too busy

and lazy

[grand knot]

this is sick

i wishing i could do something this detailed

[ebon bear]

well thanks

[rich kettle]

high ass fucking contrast

[ebon bear]

Why not

[tardy ibex]

where do usearch to get those textures

cant find similar stuff

[sterile rivet]

I found a bunch of images of the car I was trying to make, and extracted them with shoebox texture ripper

Then processed them to get the pixelated effect

As for the ground textures, I took those photos myself

[carmine bronze]

And you need to be extra careful with shadows, otherwise it will lag to hell

[sharp apex]

CastShadow property my beloved

[fleet bobcat]

that's sick

[modern maple]

renamed the walking cloud to Faraway Lands

(still not ready, but much unshown progress has been made)

i came up with the name walking cloud before i knew what the game would be about, but now that i know what its meant to be like i wanted to give it a more appropriate name

this is also why amiah was renamed to ahitopha

[paper garnet]

Sick

[crystal grail]

thats some cooked stuff right there

[ebon bear]

im making this for fun

[shadow orbit]

(unsure if im allowed to post, contact me if this is not the case) i got davinci resolve and made this

[fading spire]

I would recommend something like very transparent and alao moving background or something

To spice up the intermission

[shadow orbit]

well i would but i don't have premiere pro on me most of the effects that can do that in resolve need me to pay like an arm and a leg to use

like only two items in the light category i can use in the free edition

[hearty yoke]

extremely basic model + texture i threw together using a minecraft character as a base
gonna tidy it up a bit tomorrow then use it as a reference for the final model

[gritty terrace]

do they have 4 arms or somthign

this is using hinge constraints, right?

[mellow jungle]

cylinder and plane constraints

[idle forum]

hm ok

for my old doors from 2023, I used hinge constraints to handle that

[mellow jungle]

it's really scuffed but it's also my first time doing this

[mellow jungle]

did it manage to stay stable?

[idle forum]

for the most part, yes

[mellow jungle]

also was the door itself based on physics?

[idle forum]

roblox physics is well, roblox physics

[mellow jungle]

because mine wasn't

[idle forum]

no

it used tweening

[mellow jungle]

makes sense

maybe ill try that next time, thanks

[idle forum]

you really should, easing styles makes door opening much more realistic

right now, the movement is linear

[mellow jungle]

yeah i was planning to fix that

[idle forum]

which is not how pushbar doors usually work

[mellow jungle]

true

does tweening work with pivots?

[idle forum]

yes, with the pivot of the primary part of a model

[mellow jungle]

does anyone have some good door sound effects

[gilded cedar]

try searching The_Sink in toolbox hes got some sick audios

[dense dawn]

W The_Sink
W Roblox for publishing his sounds

[fleet bobcat]

so uhhh i'm a total noob at Coding, could someone help me learn how?

[sharp apex]

what i'm doing is looking at official documentation and just hoping my code works lmfao
knowing some bare basics first, i.e. how functions work can help

[fleet bobcat]

any other things that may help?

[sharp apex]

i just got into scripting like 2 days ago so idk if it would be efficient for the long run (as im just learning code to improve my building)

practice obv helps

[fleet bobcat]

yeah

[nimble crater]

use roblox assistant ai since it explain how to code and what some scripts do

[fleet bobcat]

i've heard the AI assistant sucks

[nimble crater]

no it doesnt

i use it myself and it works just fine

[sharp apex]

it sucks lmfao
its like using ai to "enhance your drawings"
disabled it fairly quickly

[fleet bobcat]

does anyone know how to get the really nice lighting stuff???

cause it looks sick af but idk how to get it

[waxen vapor]

What are you referring to

[fleet bobcat]

for example the lighting in these pictures here (not my stuff this is just the first pic i found)

[waxen vapor]

Ah so thats using future lighting and beams

[fleet bobcat]

ohhhhh

[ebon bear]

i love beam....

[waxen vapor]

beams are great

and yes little* sneak peek of snl

[ebon bear]

until you look at the bottom

[waxen vapor]

ours are pretty seamless

[fleet bobcat]

ngl i thought they were just normal lights the entire time

[waxen vapor]

i wish roblox would add their own volumetric lighting it would be nice

[fleet bobcat]

i didn't know there was that much complexity

[waxen vapor]

but i assume you know how to work beams though

its not thaaat complex

[fleet bobcat]

i at least know the basics of beams

[fleet bobcat]

also ngl those support beam things are nice

[waxen vapor]

ty

[fleet bobcat]

it's simple but brings it all together

[waxen vapor]

though do note that beams can be performance intensive in large quantities

[fleet bobcat]

QSERF for example.....

[sterile rivet]

indiscernible pixels on a screen = sneak peek now

[waxen vapor]

qserf doesnt use many beams

[fleet bobcat]

lol

[fleet bobcat]

i thought it did

[waxen vapor]

lol

[waxen vapor]

not a huge amount iirc

[ebon bear]

Some place use beam some place doesnt

[fleet bobcat]

only time i've ever really noticed potential beam lighting is by Tartarus

[waxen vapor]

of all places

I dont think thats one of them

[fleet bobcat]

really???

[waxen vapor]

i might be wrong

Ill go check

[ebon bear]

The cargo area with that big elevator

With a pillar

[waxen vapor]

cavern has one yes

[sterile rivet]

this would honestly be quite cool

[fleet bobcat]

rblx do smth nice for their devs???? no, never

[waxen vapor]

or bring back light influence for beams???

that would be super cool??

[ebon bear]

i love beam...

[waxen vapor]

why it was removed i dont know

[fleet bobcat]

so that's beam lighting

[ebon bear]

damn

[waxen vapor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLHh3d2x6Gc COULD'VE BEEN SO COOL

[sterile rivet]

I'm already baffled that we're getting like

higher than 1k resolution images

[fleet bobcat]

i'm baffled by some of the things i've seen ppl make. nowadays they hardly look like RBLX

it's insane honestly

[ebon bear]

what about trail

[waxen vapor]

anyway no tartarus doesnt have any

[fleet bobcat]

hmmm

[waxen vapor]

I will update it now to add them though

[fleet bobcat]

wait

[sterile rivet]

Imagine qserf gets the full pbr overhaul

[fleet bobcat]

the little lock is clipping into the seal.....

[sterile rivet]

every model becomes a mesh with a surfaceappearance

[waxen vapor]

yes

[fleet bobcat]

oh god

[waxen vapor]

i am not fixing that

[waxen vapor]

i wish

[fleet bobcat]

lol

[ebon bear]

the tartarus seal is very very old anyway

[fleet bobcat]

when was tart last updated?

[sterile rivet]

if that ever happens i'd be down to help

Honestly in some way it could help performance

[waxen vapor]

I dont have enough time to be doing that

[sterile rivet]

since then you can hide little part details in normal maps and stuff

[fleet bobcat]

i don't think anyone does

[waxen vapor]

we've already replaced a lot of textures with materials so it wouldnt help performance that much

[fleet bobcat]

ngl wish i knew how to make custom materials

[waxen vapor]

any gains we get would be nullified by using future

[fleet bobcat]

any good tips on how to do this?

cause i got no idea how

[sterile rivet]

Well the only real tip I have is try to get used to material painting software

[fleet bobcat]

like what though....

[sterile rivet]

Like substance painter or armorpaint

[fleet bobcat]

never heard of either oh boy

[sterile rivet]

I just pirated Pt because it's what i'm used to, but armorpaint is free

[ebon bear]

I love future

[fleet bobcat]

wow the difference...

what's the lighting settings?

[fleet bobcat]

such a big difference....

[ebon bear]

Left is Shadows Right is Future

[fleet bobcat]

is that all your changing between the pics?

just the light system

or tech mb

[ebon bear]

yeah

[fleet bobcat]

wow

welp after messing around with the lighting it definetly looks better in my game now

maybe a little too saturated though

[idle forum]

future looks wayyy better with custom PBR materials

[neon obsidian]

truely is

[idle forum]

and spotlights are your best friend when it comes to lighting up areas with future

[neon obsidian]

or attachments

you can actually add light instances to attachments

and pretty much move it around

its what i do to illuminate ceiling lights for my game

[idle forum]

yeah

i havent done much of that but i might try later

[neon obsidian]

its really handy if you want to not make your ceiling look like a void (since for some reason, future lighting do be like that

[idle forum]

yeah lol

future isnt globally illuminated, so the light doesnt bounce back up into the ceiling

[lament heath]

my OCD hates me rn

[sharp apex]

same!!
experimenting with these was genuinely fun asf

they have a few problems with misplaced beams at some angles due to their width apparently but it works for the most part

[shadow orbit]

(remaster of an unfinished and unreleased project)

[shadow orbit]

Before-and-after comparison (it doesnt look so shitty now)

[idle forum]

the lighting on those ventilation ducts looks very unrealistic and off-putting

i would heavily suggest changing their material

[quick vault]

shadows are off for optimization

and its a pbr texture

[idle forum]

ah ok

but you could try making the color darker so it blends in better

[quick vault]

ill consider it

[ebon bear]

@dusty vault bleh

[dusty vault]

no way,,,

[idle forum]

didnt you make this a free model a long time ago?

i think i still have it lol

[ebon bear]

That one is outdated

But yeah i did before

[teal loom]

I prefer particle emitters

[teal loom]

Pbr wouldn't work properly on shadow map afaik

[sterile rivet]

Well future would go with it too of course

[cursive mulch]

future doesnt work on low end devices

not to mention other limitations

[idle forum]

QSERF already doesnt work on low end devices

[covert stag]

fr

[vernal granite]

it runs perfectly fine on my iPhone 6

maybe my phone is just goated

[dense dawn]

Nah its not about your phone

Its about phone’s cpu

He processes whole fucking data with 1% strength

(well to be honest your cpu is kind of very strong)

[idle forum]

honestly, its probably dependent on your phone’s RAM

QSERF is horribly optimized for RAM usage and i had it crash on my phone numerous times just because of too high memory usage

mostly because of how high of a part count QSERF has

[dense dawn]

Oh yeah

[idle forum]

like the game ran totally fine on my phone, it just crashes all of the time from its extremely high memory usage

[dense dawn]

Btw whenever i play roblox on my phone.

It turns into a hot pan.

[idle forum]

thats for every single phone running games

phones are passively cooled, meaning they don’t have proper cooling fans like desktop computers and laptops do

it radiates the heat off of it’s body

which is very inefficient at times

[sterile rivet]

the innovation inc reactor

[crystal grail]

pew

hi

[dense dawn]

WHY IS IT TOO SHINY ITS AT 1 BRIGHTNESS BUT THERES SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT COLOR3 😭

i use
pl1_function:FireAllClients(Color3.new(255, 255, 255), 1)

[dense dawn]

okay i figured it out

i just have to use it like this.
pl1_function:FireAllClients(Color3.new(1, 1, 1), 1)

[fleet bobcat]

ah yes, numbers change a lot

[sterile rivet]

I think color3.new uses values from 0 to 1 rather than 0 to 255

If you want to use 0 to 255 you have to enter color3.fromRGB()

[ebon bear]

hmm?

[hushed shell]

I really like this design

These are the other two designs, which one do you guys think is the best?

[fleet bobcat]

what if you had one where the colors is across the entire thing?

[hushed shell]

What do you mean

[fleet bobcat]

like the first one but have the orange be far right the dark blue be to the left of the orange and such and just have it go behind the entire text instead of just the t and w

[hushed shell]

That's the first design

Unless you want it to end at star

[fleet bobcat]

yeah like all the way across

just saying i think that'd look nice

[hushed shell]

I like the first one more

[fleet bobcat]

yeah.... i think the first one would look better in this case, it was worth a shot though.

[hushed shell]

Alright

[sharp apex]

prob the first one

its really good, love the colour scheme and the stylized A

[hushed shell]

I refined it a bit

[sharp apex]

way more streamlined yeah

[hushed shell]

Thanks, this was when I drew it

[naive elm]

this one works best but it needs alternatives

i.e. what would you do on a white background?

the text wouldn't be visible

[ebon bear]

no idea

[boreal dagger]

these are so good! can i ask how you made the newspaper??

[sterile rivet]

Framework for a little 64x64x64 stud power plant

can hardly call it a plant

[ebon bear]

alex cooking again

[sterile rivet]

it was about time i made something

I don't think that's gonna fit

[fleet bobcat]

just remember to duck

[sterile rivet]

this thing will still have classic part building

although i will up the detail a bit

because why not

it's just a 64 stud map so i can get away with a couple thousand extra parts right :)

[fleet bobcat]

that looks good

[fleet bobcat]

that's gonna be one laggy thing

[brazen crag]

omg alex

[glossy chasm]

Sure thing, however the process is a bit convoluted and requires photoshop to make

For the background texture of the image, you just need to use any tileable paper image you find online
You then make the newspaper in two parts, one part being the text / shape graphics, the other being photographs. These are separated in the image because they require different processing

For text processing, flatten all of the text and shape graphics into a single layer. Duplicate the flattened layer and set it's opacity to about 50 percent. On the original flattened layer, keep opacity at 100 percent and apply a very slight horizontal motion blur effect. You want to have just enough blur that it appears that the ink from the text bled into the page, but not too much to the point where text becomes unreadable. Using photoshop's Filter Gallery, Apply the Reticulation filter. When appling this filter, in your color pallet for photoshop, have black and gray colors selected - these will be the colors applied to the image by the reticulation filter. For the Reticulation filter, set Density to a value between 2 - 8, Foreground Level to a value of 20 - 40, and Background Level to 4 - 8. This reticulation filter gives the effect of uneven and/or faded ink on the page. As far as I am aware, this filter is only in photoshop, but there may be a way to recreate it in other software.

For photo processing, take you image and duplicate it. On the original image, apply the same horizontal motion blur that you applied on the text, and additionally apply the same reticulation filter. Then on your duplicated image, set opacity to about 50 percent and apply the Color Halftone filter to it. Set the radius of the halftones to what ever value you think is best, I set mine to about four pixels in radius. If the Halftone filter that you used also has adjustment for color channels, set the degree value of each channel to be the same number. It doesnt matter what the number is, as long as they are the same

For additional effect, you can then flatten all of these processed layers together into a single layer. Duplicate this layer, and on said duplicated layer, apply the Dissolve blending mode to further add to the ink bleeding effect

and yeah thats about it

[boreal dagger]

wow was not expecting an explanation that in depth, thank you so much!

this is really useful, thank you

[glossy chasm]

yup, no problem

[brazen crag]

wip commodore pet

[dense dawn]

Wait how am i supposed to write this?

Oh wait

[sterile rivet]

Do you still need help with this or have you managed to find the problem?

[dense dawn]

no i solved it

[sterile rivet]

okay, excellent

[brazen crag]

puter

[fading spire]

💾

can i eat it

?

[brazen crag]

i drew more

[brazen crag]

no

[fading spire]

[ebon bear]

give it cat ear

s

[brazen crag]

no

its not freaky

[ebon bear]

:(

pls pls

[brazen crag]

no

[ebon bear]

grrrrrrrrrr

[brazen crag]

no bc you were lazy

[fading spire]

draw wawa

btw cool pixel works

[brazen crag]

[fading spire]

[brazen crag]

thanks :3

[ebon bear]

yeah it cool

but but....

it need cat ears

[brazen crag]

NO

CAT EARS

[ebon bear]

TAIL

WHGY NOT

[brazen crag]

NO

ITS NOT FREAKY

[ebon bear]

okay back to general discussion

[dense dawn]

cool drawing

[brazen crag]

thanks :3

[ebon bear]

Test...

[tardy ibex]

should i add anything else to the scene i think it looks good to me

[ebon bear]

a person

[tardy ibex]

augh

idk how to make a person

[ebon bear]

buh

car then?

[tardy ibex]

and i want to make it fully by me

[tardy ibex]

i mean its a sidewalk so idk

[sterile rivet]

You could add a little sign out front

Like this

But if it's closed it wouldn't make much sense to have it outside

[tardy ibex]

hm

i mean it is closed so wouldnt make a lot of sense

i did think in adding some type of text in a cardboard like those HELP signs the homeless have and that

next to the allyway

here

love rendering scenes

100% on the graphics card

nice

[tardy ibex]

finished render should i add rain to it?

btw my first render

[sterile rivet]

Oooh rain would look great there

[tardy ibex]

ill try it

[brazen crag]

alex

the vents

[sterile rivet]

you're not getting them arctic

they're mine

[brazen crag]

😡

also, part of another thing im doing with this (slightly blurred and watermarked)

[ebon bear]

working tank

[fleet bobcat]

that's sick

[dense dawn]

Guys how do i make it so it will understand about rig types?

Enum.RigType.R15 doesnt work

"R15" works but it runs on the wrong way

trains are hard to build

i've got nothing here

it's just that

lol

[merry radish]

humanoid.RigType == Enum.RigType.R15

don't use IsA

function

[dense dawn]

oh

thanks

[ebon bear]

skill issue

[elfin pewter]

real

but i do steam bois

not gas guzzlers

and british ones

[ebon bear]

@fading spire SRT 🙏

[elfin pewter]

british steam locos (though that is sick looking tbh)

[fading spire]

That is not british steam locomotive it's japan

[elfin pewter]

i meant i do british steam locos

not japanese ones

[fading spire]

k

[sterile rivet]

I'd guess that recursively looking through every child of the character model that is of the MeshPart class, then taking the count of that

you can do that with I think local LimbCount = #Character:GetChildrenOfClass("MeshPart")

That should return a number

And not count accessories

[ebon bear]

BUsh camper

[burnt salmon]

It was a pain to get the work, uses pure calculations as well as OOP and is still using to much processing power, meaning I will scrap the current implementation of this, but I thought I can show it off anyways

[fleet bobcat]

the output..... 💀

but that's really cool

[burnt salmon]

Yeah that's just showing the current angle

[fleet bobcat]

i see

but how quick it changes

[burnt salmon]

Yeah, it's basically four threads at the same time

therefore the rapid output messages

[fleet bobcat]

makes sense

[elfin pewter]

wait, so uhh

you know how to make trailing wheels n shit

[hoary orchid]

Fan made Columbian rudimentary nuclear weapon, non dirty bomb. Made in 1935.

^ @neon obsidian do you like?

[neon obsidian]

this looks REAL awesome omg

aside the odd font use, its really amazing for a fan creation, love the texturing on it

[hoary orchid]

the font is meant to be a drawn on thing by the people who would drop it

but tsym

[neon obsidian]

ahh i see, but regardless, it is really amazing

[hoary orchid]

tsym again

[brazen crag]

omg thats so cool

[ebon bear]

M4 Sherman Tracks

[fleet bobcat]

just wait until the roblox engine messes up and they go flying

[ebon bear]

they dont

[fleet bobcat]

rare.

[ebon bear]

the thing will just blow up if the hinge have problem

or the track will fall off

or glitch into the hull

about the hull uhh have to make the part thicker

[fleet bobcat]

oof smaller crew space

[ebon bear]

not really much

[fleet bobcat]

not bad

[ebon bear]

The good of this tank is... player cannot make the tracks fall off when jump inside it

unlike the M22 Locust

[fading spire]

Our trains...

[mental crypt]

Making a tank out of parts sounds like hell

How long did it take

And how many parts

[tardy ibex]

idk if i posted this but i finished it

[ebon bear]

500-600 parts

[ebon bear]

Took me 2 days to make hull, track testing, turret testing

[mental crypt]

That is quite a few parts

[ebon bear]

No wait it 1k lol

But yeah it still work well

[mental crypt]

Thats 12k triangles

Damn

And most of them wont even be seen 😔

[ebon bear]

My friend have a train that like 4.500 parts

And it unanchor and able to drive

It doesnt laggy at all
