i just dont get OOP and what would you use it for?
#Can't understand OOP

whats OOP
spark parcel
kinda shit
good for early gen programming
dont use it if you dont understand it
i recommend just running with procedural

i just dont get OOP and what would you use it for?
Ive seen people commonly use it for Character Selection stuff
or something
spark parcel
its only useful for understanding structure in a game
past that, procedural works fine
each object is assigned with dependant data & methods, think of it as ‘behavior’
you control those objects with a module, done independantly within each object itself by ‘inheriting’ methods from a ‘class’

Ive seen people commonly use it for Character Selection stuff
like
spark parcel
A npc would be an easy example
spark fossil
A npc would be an easy example
but why thats what i wanna know
spark parcel
npc could be a super class
zombie would be a inheriting class
spark parcel
but why thats what i wanna know
usually for redundancy but overall it adds more overhead to your objects and their behavior
eternal locust
A npc would be an easy example
or instances
spark parcel
no difference
its not better
by any means
major misconception
its only a ‘way’ that people prefer
to write code
spark fossil
ooh
mild solar
between normal luau and oop
It's important to note it's not like a different language. It's just a different way of structuring your code. Still luau.
drifting narwhal
what'd the difference of just normal coding?
pretty sure its more like preference since i never really found any difference when i was making my own character selection vs one i found online that was using OOP
spark fossil
pretty sure its more like preference since i never really found any difference w...
so basically its useless
u dont need to use oop
its just a thing to do
am i right?
mild solar
u dont need to use oop
It's not required no
spark fossil
It's not required no
okay ty
spark parcel
oop is a good concept to learn if youre advancing into codebases
lots of people in rovlox still use OOP
drifting narwhal
so basically its useless
Just depends on you
spark fossil
Just depends on you
?
spark fossil
oop is a good concept to learn if youre advancing into codebases
why? may i ask
spark fossil
lots of people use it so
but whu ðŸ˜
spark parcel
you can get confused with all that metatable magic
eternal locust
you can get confused with all that metatable magic
its actually really simple, certainly not magic
spark parcel
i know buddy
eternal locust
im not ur buddy

dam
young fog
drifting narwhal
but whu ðŸ˜
Cause its what you would usually see in a roblox studio video
spark fossil
@eternal locust just got pressed
spark parcel
whats it in
spark fossil
whats it in
?
spark fossil
Cause its what you would usually see in a roblox studio video
but whats the use of oop
spark parcel
namecall aint a metamethod you can use in luau 🥀
eternal locust
whats it in
wdym whats it in
spark parcel
what language is it in
eternal locust
luau???
drifting narwhal
but whats the use of oop
its 5 am so i might get super confused at myself aswell but i think this is an example of oop
spark parcel
but whats the use of oop
just structuring code
spark fossil
just structuring code
oh so it's just a way to structure code
eternal locust
skid
? explain what youre talking about because youre yammering nonsense about a metamethod that hasnt been accessible in years
well I mean Its still accessible if youre exploiting
spark parcel
oh so it's just a way to structure code
yup
