@trim granite You want to help me with this when you got time, I see you're in the trenches a lot

Give me some rules and guidelines we should include in the mandatory read before posting, post

trim granite
# static zephyr Give me some rules and guidelines we should include in the mandatory read before...

for #1020374354867007528 I would says something like:

  • Try to explain your problem as clear as possible
  • When relevant please include both the output and the related script (preferably using the discord script boxes)
    -Please be patient for an answer and be kind to those trying to help you, they're just people that are most times trying to help you
    -Add the solved tag to your post(or add [solved] to the title of your post) after the problem you had has been dealt with
    (-please do not ask for full scripts inside this channel)
    -Please try to keep the posts scripting related
  • I've seen the community a tad split up about the last ones, some (like me) think that the best way to learn for new scripters is for them to try to make their own code, and then we help to debug or fix it (or we help them with the general steps the code needs to have for it to work, so that they can make it themselves with less trouble), yet I have also seen some people that just tend to give out the entire code for free
#

then I would say #1006356488912121967 (which I'm not often in)

-Please try to keep the posts studio related

  • When relevant please include images or videos explaining your issue (windows + shift + s takes a screenshot on windows)
    -Please be patient for an answer and be kind to those trying to help you, they're just people that are most times trying to help you
    (-in case you're having trouble with blender related issues then you could also try to ask for help in the blender discord .gg/Blender)

(last one in between () for obvious reasons)

When I was first learning I learned a lot from example, I do agree that figuring stuff out on your own is incredibly important for new people learning about a technique or pattern for the first time can be more valuable. It's hard to know when though. I think we should add one about discord code blocks
```lua
-- your code here

#

something like that?

#

try to use discord code blocks instead of taking a screenshot of your code so people with varrying screen sizes can easily read it or something like that.

  • Do not ask why something isn't working without describing what it's supposed to do first
#

oh

#

gotcha

trim granite
#

wait I misspelled discord

static zephyr
#

yeah I think include an example tho because a lot of new people to discord don't know how

trim granite
#

As you can't explain a problem without stating it

static zephyr
#

Okay let me draft something up

```lua
-- Paste your script here
```

as it won't copy the code block

#

it will just copy what's inside

static zephyr
# 
-- Paste your script here
trim granite
#

oh wait

#

for some reason I thought you write ''' above it

static zephyr
#

oh

#

nope lol

trim granite
#

how did you managed on not getting it to convert to a codeblock?

static zephyr
#

you do a backslash before the command to escape it

#

\```lua
like this

trim granite
#

``` wait

#

oh i actually didn't know that

static zephyr
#

its a neat trick

trim granite
#

I like it, the only broken part (for me) is the channels

static zephyr
#

yeah

#

I wrote it in google docs and pasted it over

#

i'll need to fix that part

#

test

#

oh they disabled markdown

static zephyr
#

#

makes it easier to see the separated points

#

it's very common in marketing

obtuse hawk

#

This is what you use for the rules is this better?

obtuse hawk
#

Yeah thats better

trim granite
#

@obtuse hawk sorry for the ping but the
```lua
--your code here

seems to have messed up a tad (inside the pinned post)
static zephyr
#

\```lua
-- paste your script here
\```
```lua
-- paste your script here

#

paste it like this

#

why did you include remove the 's?

trim granite
#

which quotes is he even referring to?

static zephyr
#

i think he's referring to the backticks

trim granite
#

so we added in an extra point to tell people to first add backticks, then remove them?

static zephyr
#

yeah idk

static zephyr
#

@obtuse hawk something happen?

obtuse hawk
#

?
