So I learned the basics of scripting like if you showed me a NPC script I could break it down and know what every single piece of the script does but my problem is that I can't write scripts on my own like I can't think outside the box when it came to scripting and I'm wondering if any other pro scripters went through the same trouble I'm having and how they fixed it or if anyone that's learning coding and going through the same thing right now.

#

Give a little more info

#

What do you exactly mean

#

Where did you learn btw

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:18 AM

#

Sorry for late response

#

But what I mean is that I can't write scripts on my own ik how they work but I just can't build a like NPC script or a bit of script by myself

#

And I learned by watching tutorials and just really looking at other people's code

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:21 AM

#

When you watch tutorials you code smth using what you learned afterwards or it won’t be as effective

#

What do you mean npc script btw

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:22 AM

#

Oh yea trust me when I learn something I try to use it in real code to get a grasp on it

#

And a NPC a non player character

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:23 AM

#

What do you mean npc script

#

There are many ways to script npcs

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

Ohh I just used that as reference like a basic NPC that walks around the map

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:25 AM

#

Alr well can you code simpler things?

#

Give me one example of a concept you learned

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:26 AM

#

I can script like kill bricks, parts moving around using code, teleport systems stuff like that

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:27 AM

#

So you don’t have a problem with those right then give me one you don’t know how to code

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:27 AM

#

Hitbox system

#

Can't make one of those

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:27 AM

#

Alr

#

I made a hitbox system once

#

Well do you know how to create new parts

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:28 AM

#

Using code?

#

Yea

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:28 AM

#

The method I used was creating a part in front of a player then destroying it after

#

You know all the stuff I think you just gotta be creative

#

If you can make a kill brick then it’s easy

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

That's what I have to learn

#

How to be creative

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

Well you just have to combine the things you know

glossy solstice Sep 10, 2025, 2:30 AM

#

ye it sounds like you have problems breaking down complex stuff into stuff you know how to do

#

so by combining stuff you already know you can make better stuff

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:30 AM

#

Ye

glossy solstice Sep 10, 2025, 2:31 AM

#

and vice versa by breaking down stuff you wanna learn how to make you’ll have an easier time

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:31 AM

#

So like I should find a hitbox script and try to break it down?

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:32 AM

#

Well not exactly

short stormBOT Sep 10, 2025, 2:32 AM

#

studio ** You are now Level 4! ** studio

glossy solstice Sep 10, 2025, 2:32 AM

#

no think about how to break it down yourself

#

what do you think making a hitbox script consists of?

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:32 AM

#

glossy solstice what do you think making a hitbox script consists of?

The .touched function and like getting the humanoid

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:32 AM

#

Ye

#

What else

#

What would you start with

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:33 AM

#

Oh yea actually making the part and making it stick to the humanoid when you do a input

#

Sumthin like that

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:34 AM

#

Ye

glossy solstice Sep 10, 2025, 2:34 AM

#

right, so do you know how to do all of those things? if so then you just need to put it together

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:35 AM

#

glossy solstice right, so do you know how to do all of those things? if so then you just need to...

Yea ik how to do all that

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:35 AM

#

Do you know how to use remote events?

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:35 AM

#

honest latch Do you know how to use remote events?

I haven't gotten to those yet

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

Ok well you should probably try those out watch brawldev he’s pretty good

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

Alr ty

#

Btw

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

Np

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

Do you know how to use cframes

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:37 AM

#

Mostly yeah

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:37 AM

#

Can you give me a grasp on how you understand them

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:37 AM

#

Cframes are just your coordinates

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:38 AM

#

Ah I see more simpler then I thought

#

I usually get vector3 and cframes mixed up cause idk which ones to use and when to use in situations

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:39 AM

#

If you wanted to change cframes with code it would be something like placeholder.CFrame = placeholder.CFrame (your operation) CFrame.new(x,y,z)

topaz lake Sep 10, 2025, 2:40 AM

#

Yea I figured that much

honest latch Sep 10, 2025, 2:40 AM

#

I also mix em up sometimes

#

Anyway gtg

#

Bye
