how to learn advanced scripting

[fervent briar]

dev forum yt tutorials and trying it urself

i would get visual studio code

there are some useful plugins that will help u code better

[loud heart]

I tried yt videos and I cant find anything advanced, and what I see advanced are just videos that show me how to copy paste the script not explaining what it does. also for visual studio, ill get it now. ty for telling me.

[fervent briar]

there are some advanced ones fs

for example look up object oriented programming

[loud heart]

ok ty

[lone sedge]

by suffring and sitting on the chair everyday for 5 hours after just one year u will be a pro

[loud heart]

i am already doing that

but

i am not really on studio that much

[lone sedge]

from last u must try to fix ppl problems cuz like that u will get involved on a new things from diff ppl and by that u will head to the dev fourm and YT and asking Ai for those new problems

[loud heart]

alr ty

[lone sedge]

learn the solid lua then

[loud heart]

is that the same as roblox lua?

(i mean im not really on studio that much like i usually just play games and stuff and go on studio like 1 or 2 hours)

[lone sedge]

near to that same syntax but more boring no workspace and etc

[lone sedge]

2 hours is the good rate to learn fast

[loud heart]

cool

[lone sedge]

while u love playing game why u jsut try to copy them

like i entred a simulator game

make something from it

from scratch for sure

[loud heart]

i try that

[lone sedge]

alr

[loud heart]

rn i was working on a game

well

[lone sedge]

good luck mate just dont stop u will learn while u didt quit

[loud heart]

i dont really want to fully copy

like

[lone sedge]

yh

[loud heart]

i get ideas from them

[lone sedge]

step by step do cool things and ez somethings makes u feel like u did good today

[loud heart]

o

cool

[lone sedge]

and think about systems not a line

like i wanna make tools effects

try to make them as one functions that handle all of them

cuz line by line is taking time in debugging

[loud heart]

is trying to make games using mostly stuff that you dont know how to use a good way to learn?

the thing is that like 90% of time i am on youtube or devforums or this server to find help

or hiddendevs

[lone sedge]

the problem is u didnt try to do it before getting help

play with it for a bit

then ask ai

is the most thing can help u

[loud heart]

i ask ai for every problem i have

[lone sedge]

yes

[loud heart]

but sometimes

it is stupid

[lone sedge]

not roblox one

cuz its more stupid

chatgpt is more helpful

[loud heart]

the roblox one is anoying

like

[lone sedge]

yes

really suck

and chatgpt dont copy from it

[loud heart]

i put local part = and it completed to script.parent.parent.parent (like 10 parents)

[lone sedge]

take the idea

[lone sedge]

yh

take the idea and the new things from chatgpt

then apply it on ur own

[loud heart]

what about complicated math stuff that i wont understand unless i spend like 1 month learning that

[lone sedge]

dont learn it find an another way

do something similar to it

but easier

[loud heart]

i tried to make an aiming system and some people told me to learn calculus and stuff

[lone sedge]

lemme give u an example

about raycast

first time u will be confused and say i wont learn that

but the thing is just split it and search

like how i get the direction

how make a velocity

like that

by splitting

[loud heart]

at the start i think i avoided like 90% of scripting bc of that

[lone sedge]

nah its ez if u split it

[loud heart]

i tried to make a slingshot aiming system

like

it makes velocity to a part

[lone sedge]

yes

[loud heart]

and based on velocity i try to see where it will land

but

after like 5 days of searching

i found nothing

[lone sedge]

change the searching style

[loud heart]

?

[lone sedge]

in my case when i get a blocked end i just copy from ai

then start doing my test on it

[loud heart]

what i usually do is first go to ai, then search on google, yt, hiddendevs or roblox studio comunity

[lone sedge]

changing value and addding one

[loud heart]

and nothing helped

[lone sedge]

from when u did start scripting?

and are u good at the basics?

[loud heart]

i think i started like 3 years ago but i stopped for 2 years when i knew like how to print, change position and size of parts, and in 2 years for like 8 months i learnd almost nothing and i started learning more in the last few months

[loud heart]

i think yea

i know enough to help friends fix problems and make basic games

but

some complicated stuff

no

[lone sedge]

well just do the spliting and start doing tests

everything is ez when u split it to parts

[loud heart]

like small parts?

[lone sedge]

yes when u wanna aim

like making aim system

[loud heart]

ye

[lone sedge]

split it to parts

like how to get direction

how to know where is the player looking at

how to get mouse looking

or pose

like that

learn them one by one

[loud heart]

well i already got direction and speed. thats what i need to get for it. its like a 2d game

[lone sedge]

then compine them to one script to get the result

[lone sedge]

more easier tho

jsut need the mouse.Origin.Y

ig this not sure

want some help on that?

[loud heart]

i dont think i need help on that anymore. i quit the project a long time ago

because i didnt really see the game turning out good

idk if it was a bad idea

or a good one

[lone sedge]

its good tho

game liek that is unique

[loud heart]

the game was supposed to look something like this

[lone sedge]

i never play a 2d shooting game on roblox

it will be cool trust me

basic game are always win on roblox

and after that u can make advanced things to it

[loud heart]

here i thought about making angry birds but i didnt want to copy it so i made it a 1v1 game where you need to destroy enemy tower

in the script i got the velocity of the part that should have direction and speed. but it feels impossible to find out where it will land

i think i quit a lot of games because of random bugs that i didnt know how to fix

(i quit many more games but for other reasons like the game didnt turn out good or i just had no idea how to make it look good like the map and stuff)

[lone sedge]

well u dont have fun on it

u are taking it as a job or something like

u need to love scripting to continue on t

[loud heart]

i like scripting a lot. but i also want to make good games with it

what i usually do (like 90% of scripting i do) is for friends to help them with what problems they have when making a game or script stuff like an admin system to help him.

maybe i should go to #👷︱for-hire and try to get hired from people. this way i will have to learn new stuff to help others

also is there a way to make my price under 500 robux without breaking the rules?

like i think something simple like scripting a stamina system for running, jumping, dashing etc should not be over 50 robux

[lone sedge]

which rules u mean?

[loud heart]

like

in how to use

there is a thing where it says that price should be at least 500 robux

[lone sedge]

didnt knew about it

[lone sedge]

well rules created to break

who cares just talk with them privately

[loud heart]

yea but when i put the for hire thing i must put a price too. and people wont want to ask me to help them if price is too big. and i cant put it smaller because maybe i get blacklisted

[lone sedge]

set it to 500 and say prices are able to discuss

[loud heart]

o

nice

ty

[lone sedge]

yw

[loud heart]

ill close this post now

[lone sedge]

alr good luck bro
