Actually, I could get help from Ai to do it, but unfortunately, he doesn't give me the exact code I need and messes up the correct code. That's why I posted it here. To be honest, it doesn't seem worth paying for, it's just 2 or 3 lines of code.

And i have 1 more problem, when the parts I placed overlap, they look glitchy. Is there a solution for this?

[short anvil]

depends what you mean by 'glitchy', show screenshots etc

[short anvil]

and yet it only takes 1 line of code to break an entire system. even less than that, it only takes 1 character out of place to break an entire system. you conflate quantity of lines with work. most of the work a programmer does, to the order of 80~90%, is reading code and documentation, not writing lines. haven't you heard the tale of the old man and the machine?

[paper wharf]

I would need to record and show it to explain properly, but it's not necessary. It's the visual result of two parts overlapping with each other.

The Graybeard engineer retired and a few weeks later the Big Machine broke down, which was essential to the company’s revenue.

The Manager couldn’t get the machine to work again so the company called in Graybeard as an independent consultant.

Graybeard agrees. He walks into the factory, takes a look at the Big Machine, grabs a sledge hammer, and whacks the machine once whereupon the machine starts right up.

Graybeard leaves and the company is making money again.

The next day Manager receives a bill from Graybeard for $5,000.

Manager is furious at the price and refuses to pay.

Graybeard assures him that it’s a fair price.

Manager retorts that if it’s a fair price Graybeard won’t mind itemizing the bill.

Graybeard agrees that this is a fair request and complies.

The new, itemized bill reads….

Hammer: $5
Knowing where to hit the machine with hammer: $4995

reading or planning out code, often it's either or, planning tends to just be related to what data will be send where, and for what purpose

[paper wharf]

I didn't criticize code sellers in any way, but isn't that exactly why AI has developed so much these days?

[short anvil]

haha yeah, it's digital plumbing, and that is most of the work, setting up for a few lines of "where the magic happens".

[paper wharf]

brooo

u serious

If you are going to talk other than helping

pls

far

[stable ridge]

ai has managed to take over the writing part, yet it still fails in the actual planning aspect, ai knows how to make something work like asked, a scripter will make it work in a way that it can be used for it's purpose, and it can be expanded upon in the future

(and then I must add, the newer ais can write semi working code, hell, the older ai just threw some of the syntax together and told you it would work

[paper wharf]

You're right, and as I said, I'm not criticizing. I'm just asking for help, and paying for something so small feels really unnecessary.

[paper wharf]

ya

[short anvil]

you would need to be much more specific. this could mean a number of different things. to me, this is the visual result of two parts overlapping with each other:

[paper wharf]

bro

lmao

wait

[short anvil]

but it's fair to assume you didn't mean that. for all i know you could be talking about a 'visual result' like this

[paper wharf]

It looks fine like this, but when you move the camera, it starts glitching.

What I mean by glitch isn't something major; it's just the textures overlapping.

[short anvil]

and if i were to activate my mind-reading powers, you're probably asking about Z-fighting which looks like this

[paper wharf]

ya

this

Z fighting?

[hearty prawn]

** You are now Level 3! **

[paper wharf]

why

Why is it called that?

[short anvil]

yea you cant avoid that, either align things properly, or use unions, or use an offset of length epsilon (approx 0.01 - as close to 0 without actually being 0) so that the faces aren't in exactly the same position

[paper wharf]

Do you mean there's no solution?

[short anvil]

Z refers to depth in this case, how far away from the camera a surface is. when 2 parts have exactly the same Z distance from the camera, they will "fight" to show on top of each other

[short anvil]

bruh, i just gave you 3 solutions

[paper wharf]

oh

okay

[paper wharf]

i blind

sorry

ty bro

[short anvil]

you were blind before but now you see 🫡 and now that you know about this, and in developing, heh keep an eye out for z-fighting in other roblox games. it's very common lol

[paper wharf]

now i need this, i will be wait

[paper wharf]

🫡

thats true

[short anvil]

already told you to look things up in the docs. chatgpt gave you the keywords, now it's up to you to search up how to actually use those things correctly

[paper wharf]

It would be easier to get it, but if I work on it myself, I might find a better result.
