I need help, i want to create my first easy script, i'm a begginer and i need ideas!

any ideas?

[vague fossil]

Elevator system

[whole leaf]

Elevator system

[uncut badge]

wow

ok

elevator system

[vague fossil]

Yh should wrap up all basics and fundamentals

[uncut badge]

how can i start

YES

[prisma terrace]

nice english

[uncut badge]

i

i understand it now.

[vague fossil]

A moving platform

[uncut badge]

alr

[vague fossil]

Then add a button

[viral hatch]

Do you know any basics? Have you watched tutorials?

[uncut badge]

no

[vague fossil]

Then more buftons

[uncut badge]

ok

should i use moveto?

[vague fossil]

Do u know programming basics

[uncut badge]

no

that's the point

😼

[vague fossil]

Then start by learning programming basics

[uncut badge]

OK

YALL

I SHOULD START

[plain zealot]

You resigned or something?

[uncut badge]

CREATING THE MODEL

RIGHT?

[vague fossil]

Jus do some simple sh bro

[prisma terrace]

it's s4

[prisma terrace]

1º

[vague fossil]

My first project was an elevator system

It just was few parts piled up

[uncut badge]

alr

[vague fossil]

Nun much

[uncut badge]

lets start

my model will be an part

watchiing

[vague fossil]

[uncut badge]

YES

YES MASTER

[vague fossil]

He just prints to the console dont waste yo time 💔

[uncut badge]

this is peak

i understand it

so

lets say

[vague fossil]

Go learning programming basics first

As u learn write ur elevator system

[uncut badge]

A = 300 and B = 500

so

[vague fossil]

Use the roblox documentation for classes and other stuff

[uncut badge]

ok

i need it

where's it

[vague fossil]

They also have a get started thingy on the page

[uncut badge]

WAIT

i can do

an simple script

[vague fossil]

Jus search up roblox documentation

[uncut badge]

olk

@stark bough

yall

join general 1?

i want to screen share

😰

[vague fossil]

I mean if u knew few programming basics u could do this in less than a day

[vague fossil]

Cant

Learning zig rn

[uncut badge]

i did this simple script

will it work?

[vague fossil]

Yes

And

Use task.wait

[uncut badge]

oh

why?

[vague fossil]

Its overall more precise

[uncut badge]

oh

alr

i'm going to check if it works

it works

yay

[vague fossil]

👍

[uncut badge]

@vague fossil

[royal breach]

** You are now Level 7! **

[uncut badge]

i did this

is it going to work?

where

WOW

why?

what's the difference?

it worked

danm

thanks

is it easy to learn

?

alr

where i can

learn it

[plain zealot]

= for assignment
== for equality

[uncut badge]

OH

really?

i didn't know that

danm

thanks

ok

how can i move parts

like

i mean

what can be used to move parts

should i use MoveTo?

[spice flame]

Parts has "Position" property

Part.Position = Vector3.new(x , y , z)

[uncut badge]

oh

[vague fossil]

no

[uncut badge]

guys

how can i repeat an script

like

make it repeat

[vague fossil]

wdym

like repeat whats inside

u can use loops

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

check this out

[uncut badge]

oh

loopos

[vague fossil]

yup

[vague fossil]

this should wrap up most basics u need

u will find also few simple projects u can make

[uncut badge]

I DID IT

it worked

[vague fossil]

[uncut badge]

wait

@vague fossil

this is the code

it makes the part move

down and up

[fair turret]

teleports it

make a smooth movement

[uncut badge]

yes

how

[vague fossil]

to make a smooth movement

[fair turret]

for loops

[vague fossil]

theres a built in function called lerp

or u can use tweening

or

u can use for loops

[uncut badge]

i mean

how do i make smooth move

like

make it move smooth

[vague fossil]

the 3 methods i said

[uncut badge]

i don't want to do loops

[fair turret]

while true do
for i = 1, 100 do
wait(0.1)
part.Position += Vector3.new(0,0.1,0)
end
for i = 1, 100 do
wait(0.1)
part.Position += Vector3.new(0,-0.1,0)
end

end

try this

[uncut badge]

what does that makes

[vague fossil]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/what-is-the-lerp-function/1139214

[fair turret]

smothly pushes it

[vague fossil]

also learn about cframes

[fair turret]

not sure if its to fast tho

[vague fossil]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/workspace/cframes

[uncut badge]

can this work?

@vague fossil

[vague fossil]

u forgot to close the parenthesis

everytime u open one u have to close it

[uncut badge]

where

[vague fossil]

also lerp takes a second parameter

[uncut badge]

like this?

[vague fossil]

yes

[uncut badge]

o

[vague fossil]

.

[uncut badge]

wdym

[uncut badge]

how do i fix this

[vague fossil]

u need a second parameter

[uncut badge]

this white hing

thing

when i write

it's making me miss

[vague fossil]

its nothing wrong

its a block cursor

[uncut badge]

how do i remove it

[vague fossil]

im pretty sure u can change it somewhere in settings

just consider the left side of the square

[uncut badge]

i'm talking about the white thing on wait(2)

[vague fossil]

yeah the block thingy

?

[uncut badge]

yes

look

when i click

it happens

[vague fossil]

yeah thats ur cursor

[uncut badge]

no

[vague fossil]

yes

[uncut badge]

my cursor is an arrow

what

and how do i remove it

[vague fossil]

i meant ur cursor in the text editor

u see i have it there too

[vague fossil]

.

it indicates where ur gonna type, select, delete and so on

u can move it around

by clicking around the editor

or with arrow keys

[uncut badge]

alr

thanks

now

what i have to do?

i did lerp (goal

[vague fossil]

goal should be a cframe

[uncut badge]

@vague fossil

what

how

do i have to do goal: Cframe

@vague fossil

[fair turret]

brother u said u need help. while hes doing the entire script

[uncut badge]

it's just an question

[fair turret]

then what u did by yourself?

[uncut badge]

some parts of the script

i understand a bit of scripting

but i don't understand lerp

that's why i'm asking for zeroo's help

[fair turret]

he explained like 200 times

the first parameter

askf fora a cframe

second ask for a number throught 0.1 , 1

[uncut badge]

what the hell is an parameter

[fair turret]

if im not wrong

[fair turret]

the things u put inside ()

after the Lerp

[uncut badge]

oh

goal asks for an cframe?

[fair turret]

ye

first u put a cframe

and then a then a number 1

so (CFrame.new(0,10,0), 1)

[uncut badge]

so

cframe

is like

vector 3?

wdym with the number 1

what does the number 1 do

[fair turret]

1 means it goes all the way

if u put 0.5 it only goes halfway

not used it in a long time but i think thats what it does

[uncut badge]

oh

OH

help

@uncut badge

wtf i pinged myself lol

@fair turret

[fair turret]

remove one ()

CFrame.new(0,0,0), 1)

like this

[uncut badge]

like this?

@fair turret help 😭

[fair turret]

remove the goal thingy

[uncut badge]

ok

ok

what now

[fair turret]

and the :

[uncut badge]

@fair turret i did this

local part = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Part")
local goal = 1

while true do
part.Anchored = true
part.CFrame = part.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(0, 10, 0), goal)
wait(2)
part.CFrame = part.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(0, 0, 0), goal)
wait(2)
end

[fair turret]

should work

[uncut badge]

but

is the move smooth?

it just teleports

[fair turret]

smooth

[uncut badge]

it's not to

it's just teleporting

[fair turret]

wait a sec

[uncut badge]

i guess i will have to use tweenservice

[uncut badge]

@fair turret

[royal breach]

** You are now Level 8! **

[uncut badge]

fixed

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local part = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Part")

while true do
local goalUp = {}
goalUp.Position = Vector3.new(0, 10, 0) -- Define o objetivo para cima

local TweenInfoUp = TweenInfo.new(0.5)   -- Duração do tween para cima
local TweenUp = TweenService:Create(part, TweenInfoUp, goalUp)

TweenUp:Play()  -- Reproduz o tween para cima
TweenUp.Completed:Wait()  -- Aguarda até que o tween para cima termine

local goalDown = {}
goalDown.Position = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)  -- Define o objetivo para baixo

local TweenInfoDown = TweenInfo.new(0.5)  -- Duração do tween para baixo
local TweenDown = TweenService:Create(part, TweenInfoDown, goalDown)

TweenDown:Play()  -- Reproduz o tween para baixo
TweenDown.Completed:Wait()  -- Aguarda até que o tween para baixo termine

end

[uncut badge]

it works

but

there's some problems

i tried to fix

[nimble flax]

it needs the alpha

[vague fossil]

set the goal to 0.5

if u want it smooth

[uncut badge]

wdym

[nimble flax]

okay

so

the way lerp works

is

you need your part

that you want to move

/anything

then you want 2 cframes

so

it calculates

all the positions in between part 2 and 3

and you can access

those cframes

by setting the alpha

a value which is 0-1

so like a percentage

lemme give an example script

local part1 = --part you want to move
local part2 = --start point
local part3 = --end point

for i = 0, 1, 0.01 do -- 0, 1 (this sets the start point and end point of this for loop), 0.01 (this is the step it takes every time it goes through the for loop till it reaches 1 so , 0.01, 0.02)
    part1.CFrame = part2:Lerp(part3.CFrame, i) -- it makes the CFrame to i as the alpha
    task.wait()
end

like the alpha think of it as a percentage

[viral hatch]

Isn’t the alpha set as goal?

[nimble flax]

oh yeah

he didn't put in a for loop

Oopd

[viral hatch]

Yeah

[nimble flax]

my mistake

but

what I said

earlier

is necessary

[uncut badge]

yo

@vague fossil

[vague fossil]

yo mate

@uncut badge

sorry for the late reply

was busy studying

u need sum?

[vague fossil]

no

the goal is the cframe

[vague fossil]

^ this is right

[uncut badge]

nvm bro

mb

[viral hatch]

No you didn’t understand what I said

Look at their screenshot

They made a VARIABLE named goal and set it as 1 for the alpha

Lol

[vague fossil]

ohh mb

[viral hatch]

You good

[vague fossil]

they jus confused the name of the variable

overall its still the same tho no

?

yh

[viral hatch]

Yeah
