help with bridging for my minecraft style block placing/mining system

[strong magnet]

can someone help me out with this? what im trying to accomplish here is to add a sort of prediction system/bridging system like in bedrock, where you can simply click in the air in front of a block to place another block in front of it

[zealous mulch]

did you write this code yourself? (ai generated code and copying from a tutorial does not count as writing it yourself. yes i have to specify this)

[strong magnet]

does using help from ai count since i was stuck on some aspects of the code

[weary crescent]

that script looks hella messy

you should not nest 4 if statements tbf

[zealous mulch]

up to you to learn those aspects, and you probably needed ai for the hard parts. go learn those hard parts. i belief in you

a minecraft script aint easy or cheap.

[strong magnet]

since what i'm essentially trying to do is add bridging in the style of bedrock but i was stuck on it and not even ai could help me out in it

[weary crescent]

I would only use AI on small parts of scripts and only use it if you understand what it does

it fails completly if you ask it something more complex

[limber prairie]

when I learn with ai what I like to do is have it type out stuff for me and then I tell it to tell me what each individual line does so I can anotate it and take notes lmao

the method lowkey works for me

[strong magnet]

i do have some good scripting knowledge but i'm not too advanced with some other stuff

[weary crescent]

what if AI tells you something thats wrong or outdated how are you gonna know

[strong magnet]

it took me 2 weeks to figure out how raycasts work

[weary crescent]

ONG I FUCKING HATE RAYCASTS

they are especially hard to understand cause they are not visual

[strong magnet]

if only there was a way to make raycasts visible considering you can see pathfind paths

[weary crescent]

i mean you could take the end Position of the raycast and the start and place a beam from A - B but then you need to add some attachments and some part and all that shit

[limber prairie]

if something is outdated then at least Ik a method I can use that will produce the same results

idk

I just be learning shit

sometimes you learn shit wrong

I try to fix it if I find that it's wrong

[limber prairie]

I wanna kill myself with raycast

I have an abillity system I'm working on rn

I made it so you can customize amount of abillitys a player has, and the effects of the abillity with cooldown settings, vfx and all that bs

you can change in the settings lol

it's kinda sick

all in like 1 moudle script

I'm working on adding abillity fusioning to it to

so I can scale it even more

[strong magnet]

not even i know what the hell a module script is used for 🙏

** You are now Level 2! **

[weary crescent]

module scripts are great

[limber prairie]

you should start learning about module scripts

REALLY IMPORTANT

it opened up my eyes to alot of stuff

[strong magnet]

like i know scripts and local scripts behave the same but scripts are server sided and local scripts are client sided

[limber prairie]

like it makes coding so much easier

[weary crescent]

they are so useful frfr

[limber prairie]

ok let me explain rq then

I'll explain rq then

so basically

if you wanna get good u gotta learn module script cause very good scripter uses them

I'm a bad scripter

but learning this has made me so much better and life is chill

so anyways

you pretty much put whatever function or information you want in a module script

[last sluice]

** You are now Level 5! **

[limber prairie]

and then you can call whatever that function is

in everyother script

or information

for example

if I wrote like

[strong magnet]

so they're kind of like remotefunctions but they're already scripted in instead of having to insert one?

[limber prairie]

uhhhhhhhhh

no

you make the scripts

like you make the module script

they're not already scripted

it's like a normal script but everything's in a table ya know

so like you put a function in a table

and then you have a name for that function

you type the name in whatever script or local script you have

[weary crescent]

Basicly a ModuleScript is a reusable script that returns functions or data, allowing other scripts to access and share logic using require().

[limber prairie]

and it does the function from the module script

[limber prairie]

makes it so you don't have to type 1000 lines of code

[left arch]

Make your own scripts first and then we'll help you

[limber prairie]

like with the abillity system I have, it'd be 200 lines of code per abillity if you didn't have a module script

but with a moudle script

my lines of code is now like 20 per abillity

so instead of 1000 lines of code = 5 abilliteis
1000 lines of code for me = like 500 abilities

that's how powerful module scripts are

[limber prairie]

pretty much

what zyos said

[strong magnet]

ai assistance?
