what
#Hello ,just a beginner looking for some help!
chrome pumice
@jovial moon Care to explain what questions you want answered?
Asking to ask isn't very cool!
wicked pike
you can see a variable like a box that holds a value inside
a function would be a variable that holds code that can be executed any number of time with different inputs
jovial moon
Sorry for the confusion, i just need help with the basics

** You are now Level 1! **
jovial moon
lemme ask more direct questions for everyone's sake
will try at least cuz idk much
How do parameters in functions work?
How do loops work ?
How do while loops work ?
(When i say how they work ,i mean how they are written ,what purpose they serve and when should i incorporate them in my script)

How do parameters in functions work?
How do loops work ?
How do while loops work...
parameters are values that are passed to a function when it is called.
function greet(name)
print("Hello, " .. name .. "!")
end
may i get another example?
past spindle
loops can be used to repeat a block of code multiple times
jovial moon
loops can be used to repeat a block of code multiple times
how do you create a loop
past spindle
how do you create a loop
you can use while true do
jovial moon
okay
jovial moon
may i get another example?
?
jovial moon
you can use `while true do`
what about while loops
past spindle
okay
function add(x, y)
return x + y
end
print(add(1, 2)) -- prints 3
print(add(10, 20)) -- prints 30
jovial moon
oh thank god ,i read unction and i was like , What the hell is an unction 💀
jovial moon
aight
past spindle
while loops are another type of loop that runs a block of code when a certain condition returns True
past spindle
example
local i = 1
while i <= 10 do
print(i)
i = i + 1
end
yep
it will replicate it so damn fast
past spindle
😰

** You are now Level 2! **
jovial moon
i didnt mean that
i meant
should i use task.wait on only while loops or normal loops tooo
okay
past spindle
yep
jovial moon
im having trouble understanding what will "smth" be
past spindle
or local part = Instance.new("part")
jovial moon
like what should i write there
past spindle
im having trouble understanding what will "smth" be
you write the directory of the Model or Part
let's say, there's a part in workspace inside a folder called Parts
it will be local part = game.workspace.Parts.Part

past spindle
explain those
local DataStoreService references a GameService called DataStoreService
past spindle
when you reference a GameService, you can use what the GameService provides, like TweenService provides the ability to make Animations
jovial moon
when you reference a GameService, you can use what the GameService provides, lik...
is there somewhere that i can see all the services ,im supposed to learn them right
okay
past spindle
is there somewhere that i can see all the services ,im supposed to learn them ri...
or that
jovial moon
there are like hundreds of them
i know that site
is this good
if i follow the whole playlist
past spindle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jugxDNrrdRY&list=PLsbxI7NIoTth8CE_os8sog72YTMLPh...
Videos in my opinion, is a bad way to learn
It's better to read documentation
yep
I would recommend checking out scripts from free models, and see how everything works
jovial moon
that sounds good
past spindle
tinker around with the script, edit and implement new stuff into it, etc
timid condor
can someone help me?
past spindle
can someone help me?
😐
timid condor
I'm in big need of it
jovial moon
what you need
past spindle
okay now a question
yeah?
jovial moon
yeah?
you know the game Loomian Legacy or doodle world maybe
the monster catching games
past spindle
yeah
jovial moon
maybe you remember pokemon brick bronze
okay
my end goal is to make such a game
i know its gonna take a while
but how hard is it specifically?
dawn prawnBOT
** You are now Level 5! **
timid condor
So can anyone help with that code?
jovial moon
depends how big it's gonna be
pretty big
timid condor
It's goood
past spindle
pretty big
to start, do the small stuff first
jovial moon
to start, do the small stuff first
like?
jovial moon
like a simulator or a tycoon
yeah it is lol
i couldnt think of something smaller
link?
jovial moon
o
past spindle
it might be a good start for you
jovial moon
yeah i would love to
past spindle
the game itself is Openworld exploration
there isn't any combat system or big boss fights
jovial moon
the game itself is Openworld exploration
you sure i can script that
jovial moon
nope
past spindle
it's something like this
explore, customize your character, talk with npcs, uncover the lore, etc
past spindle
yes
jovial moon
so what you need help with
past spindle
so what you need help with
Climbing mechanic and sliding
you might think it will be easy, but man, for me it's hard
especially with raycasts
jovial moon
there is no way i can script that
dawn prawnBOT
** You are now Level 3! **
past spindle
this is the current script for the sliding if ya'll were wondering
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local slideDuration = 3
local slideSpeed = 0
local sliding = false
local function onSlope(position, direction)
local ray = Ray.new(position, direction)
local hit, pos, normal = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, character)
if hit and normal.y < 0.9 then
return math.deg(math.atan(normal.z))
end
return 0
end
local function updateSlide()
while sliding do
local angle = onSlope(rootPart.Position, Vector3.new(0, -1, 0))
if angle == 0 then
sliding = false
slideDuration = 3
slideSpeed = 0
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running)
else
slideDuration = math.min(slideDuration + 0.1, 5)
slideSpeed = math.min(slideSpeed + 0.1, 10)
rootPart.Velocity = Vector3.new(slideSpeed * math.cos(math.rad(angle)), 0, slideSpeed * math.sin(math.rad(angle)))
end
wait(0.1)
end
end
local function onKeyDown(input, gameProcessedEvent)
if gameProcessedEvent then return end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
local angle = onSlope(rootPart.Position, Vector3.new(0, -1, 0))
if angle ~= 0 and not sliding then
sliding = true
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping, false)
humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall, true)
humanoid:PlayAnimation(character:WaitForChild("SlideAnimation"))
spawn(updateSlide)
end
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(onKeyDown)
yes
jovial moon
How do I add weight to my animation script
mate
make a post of yours
and ask anything ya want
timid condor
Chill
past spindle
yes
the easiest thing for you to do is, making a running script
I'm not the owner
hang on
past spindle
running script
trust me, it's pretty easy
you can get help from google too if you're stuck on anything
jovial moon
so its better
if i first see the complete script
and then learn how to do it
instead of trying to do it without seeing the final version of it?
past spindle
instead of trying to do it without seeing the final version of it?
hm
increasing speed
increasing speed should be easy?
you just need to change a property of the humanoid
jovial moon
okay wait
i will try to do it
lemme open studio
StamatisYT
okay
also
on studio
i cant open it
unless i run as an admin
jovial moon
you just need to change a property of the humanoid
ehm
do i make a loop
also where can i see all the properties for a humanoid
past spindle
do i make a loop
nope, not really
jovial moon
ah
jovial moon
Walkspeed
okay
humanoid.Walkspeed = 50
?
or or
i can store in a variable
local Run = humanoid.Walkspeed = 50
jovial moon
LETS GO
past spindle
the s should be capital though
