Player Specific Gate

[fallow brook]

I want to make this green gate open for the player that steps onto the blue button. The gate should only open for the player that pressed it.

The code shown is the final attempt after rewriting fully 3 times using 3 different methods that all failed.

The script is a local script and is in game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts

The door currently opens for everyone client sided but not the server.

The exact instructions for the door in order will be listed below:

1. Button touched by player

• For the player that touched the button:

2. Button changes colour to green
3. Gate transparency becomes 0.5
4. Gate CanCollide becomes false
5. After 5 seconds stages 2, 3 and 4 will be reverted

Thanks to anyone who can help, been stuck on this for hours.

[narrow lark]

why are you so sure that it opens for all players wehn 1 player presses the button

@fallow brook

[leaden ocean]

yeah like did you test it with 2 players or more

or are you just assuming stuff

[stark ermine]

player.Name == player.Name

[next snow]

wait so why player.Name == player.Name when u allready know the player

Also obv it opens to all players cuz u need to open it on the client

Just send a remoteEvent like doorOpen, doorOpen:FireClient(player), and on the local script just have doorOpen and doorCloes

Idk whos dumber, you for using player.Name == player.Name, or the people being confused why it opens to only one player

[narrow lark]

ur more stupid then this guy

they be giving out s1 to everyone who asks for it

[lethal ermine]

Nah hes dumber than this guy lmao

He said he opened it on client

[leaden ocean]

this shi is so funny lmao

[fallow brook]

I tested it with 2 players after publish

[thorny halo]

** You are now Level 1! **

[fallow brook]

yea

[next snow]

ok i giess im dumber cause i didnt see its a local script lmao

[fallow brook]

Im new to coding on roblox, i started like 3 days ago

[leaden ocean]

btw why did you put it on starterplayer couldn't you had just put it as a local script for the button?

[narrow lark]

yeah theres like no way that this opens for everyone if you use a local script

[leaden ocean]

right

try putting it as a local script for the part instead of like starter player scripts or wtv

[next snow]

Also, why player.Name == player.Name lol

[leaden ocean]

no idea

lol

[fallow brook]

the script i sent is mostly messed up because i kept trying to fix the issue and coming up with stuff i thought would make a difference but it didnt

[leaden ocean]

right

so you put this exact code but just changing the variables as a local script for the part?

[thorny halo]

** You are now Level 1! **

[leaden ocean]

no changes for the script?

[fallow brook]

well i saw on someones script that they made sure that the player was equal to the players name but i didnt know how to do that

[narrow lark]

doesn't really matter for now but later on you will only put scripts in ServerScriptsService, StarterPlayer, ReplicatedStorage

[leaden ocean]

right

[fallow brook]

no i need a new script so i can 1. use it and 2. learn what you did that i didnt

[narrow lark]

ur script should work fine tbf, even tho its not optimized

[gentle maple]

im pretty sure that "someone" used parameters

and stuff

[fallow brook]

but the door also opens for my friend when i press the button

[gentle maple]

or remoteevents

[fallow brook]

i want the door to only open to who pressed it

[next snow]

i dont see a way this script doesnt work lol

[fallow brook]

you can try it for yourself, i can send a link to the game, but it just doesnt work

[next snow]

Hn

[gentle maple]

what type of script is this in

[leaden ocean]

well one thing that surely is messing up your script is that if player.name == player.name

[gentle maple]

like localscript, modulescript, or a script

[fallow brook]

local script

i dont know what module does

[gentle maple]

modulescript just a container of code that can be used

[fallow brook]

yea i realised that and then gave up trying to fix it

[gentle maple]

anyways

[leaden ocean]

module is mostly used for 0 reason only to organise and stuff

[gentle maple]

i dont see how this script doesnt work

[leaden ocean]

but it can be used

to store information and stuff

[fallow brook]

okay thank you

[gentle maple]

well

im going to ask

[leaden ocean]

most professional scripters use it

'cause it looks good

[gentle maple]

is your friend touching the button

[leaden ocean]

and professional

[gentle maple]

or is it just you

or both

[fallow brook]

i tried both

[gentle maple]

well thats your reason

[fallow brook]

i touch button and it opens for both, she touches button and it opens for both

[gentle maple]

thats why its opened for your friend

[leaden ocean]

ok one thing i'm going to say is to remove that useless if

[gentle maple]

yeah remove that useless if statement

[leaden ocean]

then test it again

if it still isnt working let us know

[gentle maple]

its basically doing like

if name==name then

[leaden ocean]

just put the door open function without any statemnents

[fallow brook]

i know that, would someone be able to write me a new script that should work for this

[leaden ocean]

exactly

[leaden ocean]

only thing you gotta do

is remove the if statement

[gentle maple]

remove the if statement

thats literally it

[leaden ocean]

and put the door open function alone

[fallow brook]

i did this earlier, it does the same as what i said

[leaden ocean]

it's not quantum physics

[fallow brook]

i removed the if statement and also tried other ways around it

[leaden ocean]

oh

[next snow]

it works for me, its basically the same as yours

[leaden ocean]

well then let me check

[fallow brook]

let me log on

[thorny halo]

** You are now Level 2! **

[leaden ocean]

ohhh

i know what he did wrong

he didn't set the local player

i mean that's kind of like the only difference

even if what i'm saying is dumb

there's no other difference than that

i'm not like a very good scripter

so i don't rlly know most of this technical stuff for local player and stuff

[next snow]

this is what i did

[leaden ocean]

yeah only difference i see is that he used a player instance while you used the local player from the local script

[fallow brook]

okay wait im logging on, im gonna try some of the stuff you guys are recommending

[leaden ocean]

that's probably the problem

[leaden ocean]

i know what you gotta do

you gotta use the local player

[fallow brook]

whats a player instance

[round trail]

is doing game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer better than just doing game.Players.LocalPlayer?

[leaden ocean]

like the player in the Players service

[gentle maple]

a player instance is literally a player

[gentle maple]

they do the same thing

[fallow brook]

so how do i switch it to local player

[leaden ocean]

same thing

[round trail]

alrighty

[leaden ocean]

only that get service is more modern

and more used

[fallow brook]

okay 1 sec let me read what you sent

[gentle maple]

floppzy use the task library it will make your life easier (at least it did for me)

[next snow]

basically same thing, but ;GetService is better. Cause on start the service might not be loaded (for some reason).

[fallow brook]

ahh okay so i use this code? and try again?

[round trail]

So if it isnt it'd just create it then

[next snow]

Also if for some reason you rename a Service, :GetService will get it, even if u change the name

[narrow lark]

local section = game.Workspace.Obby.Section1
local startButton = section:WaitForChild("StartButton")
local startWall = section:WaitForChild("StartWall")
local finishWall = section:WaitForChild("FinishWall")

local isOpen = false
local delay = false

local function changeWallState()
    isOpen = not isOpen

    startWall.CanCollide = not isOpen
    finishWall.CanCollide = not isOpen

    startWall.Transparency = isOpen and 0.5 or 0
    finishWall.Transparency = isOpen and 0.5 or 0

    startButton.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(isOpen and "Lime green" or "Electric blue")
end

startButton.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if delay then return end

    local character = hit.Parent
    if not character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end

    delay = true
    changeWallState()

    task.wait(2)
    delay = false
end)

try this and try to understand why its better and how it works @fallow brook

[fallow brook]

okay let me test if it works first

[gentle maple]

i think thats just doing extra but its alright

[next snow]

No, it doesn't create it. It just waits until it exists

[round trail]

oh okay

[narrow lark]

huh 😭

[fallow brook]

can someone join my game to test it please?

[gentle maple]

thats like a whole new level for me

[fallow brook]

I need a second player

[gentle maple]

ill join i guess

[fallow brook]

okay thank you

[gentle maple]

dm profile

wth does BrickColor.new(isOpen and "Lime green" or "Electric blue") do

[narrow lark]

you can test in studio as "Client & Server" and select 2 clients

[gentle maple]

yeah you can also do that

[fallow brook]

thats a thing?

[gentle maple]

i forgot about that

[narrow lark]

wehn its true it selects Lime Green else it selects Electric blue

[fallow brook]

okay so how do i do this 2 client thing

[next snow]

easy, if IsOpen is true, then lime green, or blue if not

[narrow lark]

short for:

if isOpen then
    Limegreen
else
    Electric blue
end

[gentle maple]

id just do this its more easy to understand

for me

[next snow]

no lol that won't work

i think

[fallow brook]

I have a question about this script

[narrow lark]

then test it

[narrow lark]

go for it

[fallow brook]

So when i press the button it opens the door and then when i press it again it closes

how do i go about making it so after 6 seconds it closes automatically

[narrow lark]

o

was that a thing

[gentle maple]

wouldnt you just add the changewallstate function

after the task.wait

[next snow]

No i'm like 100% certain this won't work. cuz the brick colors don't have the fucking string 2 line on top things ,i forgot the name, these things """

[fallow brook]

what is the changewallstate function?

[gentle maple]

quotation marks?

[narrow lark]

it was a example....

[next snow]

@fallow brook js watch yt videos that teach you stuff, to script anything u need to know what a function is lol

[fallow brook]

I watched that brawldev guy and im on the advanced script and im learning to make a timed obby

[next snow]

how are u advanced script, but u dont know what a function is

[fallow brook]

but i just dont know why the client sided door wasnt working

[fallow brook]

i know what a function is, i just dont know what the changewallstate one is

iv never used it

[next snow]

😭

[fallow brook]

what does it do?

[narrow lark]

uhm it changes the state of the wall?

[gentle maple]

lol

[next snow]

so if u read under local function changeWallState() it tells u exactly what it does

[gentle maple]

the code inside the changeWallState just does

[fallow brook]

ohhhh, i read it wrong

im sorry

i get it now

[gentle maple]

the variable equals the opposite of teh variable

[fallow brook]

I thought when you were talking about it that you meant it was a line similar to "FindFirstChild()" or something

[gentle maple]

no clue how you got that but its okay

[fallow brook]

okay so, how do i make this so instead of it disabling on button press it disables after 5 seconds

[narrow lark]

so in the startButton.Touched:Connect(function() change the wallstate like I did then wait 6 seconds and change the wall state again

pretty simple

[next snow]

I still dont get how he's "advanced" but doesn't know hwo to use functions

[gentle maple]

change task.wait(2) to task.wait(6)

then add the changeWallState function after it

pretty sure thats how it works

i hope

[fallow brook]

im not advanced, im just watching the advanced playlist on his channel

im nowhere near advanced

im terrible

[next snow]

u need to watch the beginner playlist first 😭

[gentle maple]

i think beginner was too easy for him

[next snow]

theres a reason why its called advanced

[round trail]

i mean atleast u know syntax right

[next snow]

Dude it's not "too easy" for him if he doesn't know how to use waits lol

[fallow brook]

it didnt, the wall will open on button press and then disable on second press

[fallow brook]

i did watch it

the whole thing

[round trail]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-meme-gif-14922675818058709477

[fallow brook]

even went through and studied it

[next snow]

but how do u not know how to do task.wait

[fallow brook]

like i said iv been doing code for 3 days

[fallow brook]

yes but that didnt work

i know what task.wait is

[round trail]

wdym

[narrow lark]

I couldn't explain that to you tbf 😭

[round trail]

do u want it not to delay the rest of the code?

[fallow brook]

what im saying it, this script makes it so the wall opens on button press and then disables on second button press

[gentle maple]

WAIT

[fallow brook]

how do change that to be just a delay

[next snow]

also just inWallState, just do like task.wait(6) and then set everything, its not that hard

[gentle maple]

change the delay debounce name

[fallow brook]

no, we went over this, that doesnt work

[gentle maple]

to like

idk

DelayDebounce or something

[round trail]

that would be clearer

[narrow lark]

??????

[round trail]

i guess

[narrow lark]

o

shit

yea

change that to debounce

[gentle maple]

idk how to explain it but just change it to something else

or else you get htis

this

[fallow brook]

i just removed the debounce

[thorny halo]

** You are now Level 3! **

[narrow lark]

BRO 😭

[gentle maple]

bruh

[round trail]

shiiiii that happens?

[gentle maple]

this code

if DelayDebounce then return end

i just renamed it to delaydebounce

anyways

the code

[next snow]

local function changeWallState()
  startWall.CanCollide = false
  startWall.Transparency = 0.5

  finishWall.CanCollide = false
  finishWall.Transparency = 0.5
  
  task.wait(6)
  
  startWall.CanCollide = true
  startWall.Transparency = 0

  finishWall.CanCollide = true
  finishWall.Transparency = 0
end

startButton.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
 local Char = hit.Parent

if Char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
  changeWallState()
end

end)

there, thats as simple as it gets

i dont see a way to make it more simple

[gentle maple]

prevents it from changing the wall state if delay is still true

[narrow lark]

I wrote the code in a txt file and didnt realize that i named it delay instead of debounce mbmb

[next snow]

still doesn't matter the name of delay, you only change wallstate once after they touch the button

[narrow lark]

what abt the color

[gentle maple]

anyways

its literally just this

[next snow]

dude he can add it himself if he's allready past the basics

[fallow brook]

okay so, how do i test using 2 clients inside of studio

because someone said i could do that

[narrow lark]

delaydebounce 😭 thats worse then mine

[gentle maple]

idk i just chose a name

[next snow]

Ok, im wasting my brain power here 😭 bro doesn't know how to use functions or task.wait

[gentle maple]

click on test and see the clients and servers part unless youre using new studio ui

[fallow brook]

i know how to use task.wait, im just confused as to why that code originally was working on 2 button presses, but its fine we are past that

[next snow]

Learn before u try making stuff, simple as that. you need to know what functions and variables are, At the very least

[fallow brook]

i think im using the new one

is that bad?

[gentle maple]

no

[narrow lark]

the task library is a advanced topic

[next snow]

wait() exists

[gentle maple]

👍

[gentle maple]

yeah thats new ui

but its alright

[narrow lark]

no one uses that anymore fuck that

[fallow brook]

how do i go around using 2 clients

[round trail]

yeah how do i revert that ui it fucking sucks

[spring robin]

how much better is it to use task.wait over wait

[next snow]

task.wait is just more optimized, doesn't matter if ur making a single door and you don't know how to do anything 😭

[gentle maple]

its just more like

accurate

idk how to describe it

[fallow brook]

so in the new UI how do i use 2 clients to test the door?

[round trail]

instead of waiting 5.1 seconds it waits 5.0001 seconds

[gentle maple]

im pretty sure that

task.wait uses heartbeat but wait() doesnt

[next snow]

it has smaller minimum wait time, it makes it more accurate. for task.wait it's 0.015 seconds, while wait it's 0.03 (nearly double). It improves preformance by reducing script delays

actually mb, wait is 0.3, now 0.03

wait() is 1/3rd of a second, task.wait() is 1/60th

[narrow lark]

yeah ur too deep in that task.wait vs wait thing

[spring robin]

is render stepping un optimized or is it good to use for local scripts

[next snow]

It's just surface level knowledge bro

[gentle maple]

@fallow brook how do you not know how to use studio features

[fallow brook]

iv never used the 2 client thing, and im not used to this UI

[leaden ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/friends-matthew-perry-chandler-bing-ross-geller-david-schwimmer-gif-15739601

[gentle maple]

which ui are you used to then

the old one?

[fallow brook]

new one

we went over this

[narrow lark]

alr alr

[gentle maple]

just said you arent used to the new one but i think you just click UI no?

[narrow lark]

yo dont confuse my guy Floppzy here open your own thread

[leaden ocean]

IT'S. NOT. THE. SAME.

IF YOU DON'T USE TASK.WAIT YO'RE STUPID

[next snow]

RenderStepped is the same as having like while true do task.wait() do, But You can break a RenderStepped by using connections.
While if u do the while true do loops, the break needs to be inside of the loop.

[leaden ocean]

yeah it's like one of those methods that seems useless at first but then becomes useful for more complex stuff

there' also the heartbeat one but i don't rlly remember it well or what it did

[next snow]

they all wait a frame, but while true do wait() yields the code for a minimum of 2 frames, but task.wait, renderstepped,heartbeat and stepped will yield for only one frame

[leaden ocean]

yup

[spring robin]

holy ball knowledge

[gentle maple]

all you need to know is just task.wait is better than wait()

confirmed

[narrow lark]

i am using task.wait() and I know its not the same bro, i just said its not important why its better

[fallow brook]

Can someone just tell me how do use 2 clients for testing in the new roblox UI??

[gentle maple]

no clue how it works in the new ui

trial and error i guess

[narrow lark]

go to "Client & Server" and select 2 persons

[fallow brook]

And where is client and server?

[leaden ocean]

IT IS IMPORTANT

IT'S FRICKIN' IMPORTANT YOU HEAAR ME?

[narrow lark]

naur

[leaden ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-the-fuck-it-is-miniklin-yes-it-is-it-absolutely-is-gif-2457602170601662239

[narrow lark]

wehn you click on "test" or wtv it says next to the like play button idk how you call it

[gentle maple]

guys just stop talking about wait() and task.wait() altogether

[narrow lark]

say that to ryker

[gentle maple]

they said new roblox ui not old one

[thorny halo]

** You are now Level 7! **

[leaden ocean]

bro stop takling about us stopping to talk about wait and task.wait

[narrow lark]

i got the new one

[gentle maple]

oh

[narrow lark]

red box then click test, select "Player & Server" and then 2 persons

[gentle maple]

didnt even see that file edit view plugins test window and help there

[fallow brook]

this?

[narrow lark]

yes

[gentle maple]

looks like it

[fallow brook]

ohhhh i see

thank you zyos

[narrow lark]

npnp

[fallow brook]

So just a quick problem

[narrow lark]

just a quick one?

[fallow brook]

With the current script im still getting the same issue with the other player being able to see the wall open

this is only supposed to effect one player

[narrow lark]

show me ur explorer

like send a screenshot of ur explorer showing me the script

[fallow brook]

okay

the one called "Section1Start"

[gentle maple]

show whats ingame

[narrow lark]

how the hell is it open for everyone

thats like impossible

[gentle maple]

i think i know the problem

[gentle maple]

its in starterplayerscripts (i dont know)

[fallow brook]

left and right are showing

maybe i try put it into workspace?

[gentle maple]

put the script into like startergui and then try again

localscripts do not work in workspace

[fallow brook]

okay i try in gui

[gentle maple]

bro CHANGE THE DELAY DEBOUNCE NAME

[narrow lark]

bro 😭

[gentle maple]

CHANGE IT TO LIKE DEBOUNCE

[fallow brook]

same issue with new location

[narrow lark]

it doesnt matter we are overwriting the variable delay you bum

[gentle maple]

i would still do it

[narrow lark]

nah like

ur game weird

[fallow brook]

where is the delay debounce name

[gentle maple]

ok bro

local delay=false

change to like
local debounce=false

[narrow lark]

show me the obby model

[fallow brook]

should i change the others too

[narrow lark]

extend it

and make a screenshot

[narrow lark]

open parkour folder in section 1

[narrow lark]

LIKE

[fallow brook]

im so lost

[narrow lark]

me too

[gentle maple]

me three

[narrow lark]

OMG

I KNOW

WY+

WHY

IM SO SMART

[fallow brook]

WHY

just before you tell me

after i changed "delay" to "debounce" it stopped working

[thorny halo]

** You are now Level 4! **

[narrow lark]

YO FUCK US

OMG

WE ARE SO STUPIDIDIDIDI

[gentle maple]

i said change the lines that have delay to debounce

[fallow brook]

like this

[gentle maple]

why is the startButton touched function code like that

i thought it was the other one someone else provided

[fallow brook]

this is

this is zyos code i think

or yours

i forgot

[gentle maple]

use task.wait(5) or else @leaden ocean will 🔪 you

[fallow brook]

okay i did that

[gentle maple]

and remove that unnecessary task.wait(2)

[narrow lark]

alr Floppzy im booting roblox studio just for you

[gentle maple]

now try i guess

[narrow lark]

wont work

[fallow brook]

it now only works when its in startGUI

when its iun starterPlayer it doesnt

[gentle maple]

show studio and run two clients

[narrow lark]

ik why it doesnt work bro

[fallow brook]

why

[narrow lark]

js gimme like 2mins

[fallow brook]

why it no work

also why doesnt it work when its in starter player anymore?

im so confused im just gonna wait for zyos

[narrow lark]

local section = game.Workspace.Obby.Section1
local startButton = section:WaitForChild("StartButton")

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

[fallow brook]

what was the problem

[leaden ocean]

nah

[gentle maple]

I PRAC TICALLY DID THAT CODE

[fallow brook]

well

[leaden ocean]

i will EXTERMINATE him just like syndrome did

[gentle maple]

I LITERALLY DID THAT

[fallow brook]

uhhhh

[leaden ocean]

with the super heroes

[gentle maple]

BUT FLOPPZY REMOVED THE "ISOPEN" DEBOUNCE

[narrow lark]

wehn a player touches the part the other local script also reconginzes this touch so we have to filter if the touched player is the local player

[fallow brook]

yes

i need this

[leaden ocean]

can yall give me a quick summary of what's wrong

[narrow lark]

?????????????????

MY SCRIPT SHOULD FIX IT

[gentle maple]

put the script back in starterplayer again

and see

what happens

[fallow brook]

when you told me to move it to starterGUI then it stopped working in starter player and now ONLY works in starterGUI

[leaden ocean]

can yall give me a quick summary of what's wrong

[narrow lark]

I NEVER SAID THAT

[leaden ocean]

can yall give me a quick summary of what's wrong

can yall give me a quick summary of what's wrong

[fallow brook]

starterGUI

[narrow lark]

TS RASCAL DID IT

[leaden ocean]

can yall give me a quick summary of what's wrong

[narrow lark]

@leaden ocean

[fallow brook]

script only works in starterGUI and now in starterPlayer

[gentle maple]

what

[narrow lark]

put that shit in starterplayer

or im crashing out

[leaden ocean]

oh

[gentle maple]

so it only works in startergui or what

[fallow brook]

wait i fixed it

[narrow lark]

NO I FIXED IT

USE MY FUCKING CODE

[fallow brook]

i put it under starterPlayer and now starterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts

[gentle maple]

this shit rascal

[gentle maple]

??

[narrow lark]

frfr

[fallow brook]

okay so your code works but let me test on 2 players

[narrow lark]

yes

[narrow lark]

DO IT

[gentle maple]

why would you put it under starterPlayer

[narrow lark]

IT WILL WORK SO WELL

[narrow lark]

yo stfu

[fallow brook]

im blind

[leaden ocean]

idk how something this simpel was this hard to do

[gentle maple]

oh alr

[gentle maple]

real

[fallow brook]

zyos might be our hero

[gentle maple]

its literally just

[gentle maple]

idek

[leaden ocean]

btw this 2k emojis are FIRE

[narrow lark]

450 messages btw

[leaden ocean]

[gentle maple]

@fallow brook the problem was you literally removed the entire isopened debounce

[leaden ocean]

holy

[gentle maple]

and removed its existence

[narrow lark]

fr tho this bug isn't very easy to understand

[gentle maple]

from humanity

[fallow brook]

okay so just really quick

[leaden ocean]

bump

[fallow brook]

and im really sorry because im stupid and messed up alot

but

[narrow lark]

no that was NOT the problem...

[leaden ocean]

no WE are stupid atp

[fallow brook]

can someone explain what isopen debounce is?

[leaden ocean]

this should've been an easy fix

and it took 450+ messages

[gentle maple]

💔

[fallow brook]

my gf has been waiting for me for an hour, its 2am 😭

[gentle maple]

OK WHAT THE ISOPEN DEBOUNCE DOES IS THAT

[leaden ocean]

dam surprising she didn't scream at you yet

[gentle maple]

IN THE CHANGE WALL STATE FUNCTIon

[leaden ocean]

or did she

[gentle maple]

ISOPEN = THE OPPOSITE OF ISOPEN

THEN ITS PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY FROM THERE

[leaden ocean]

0 = the opposite of 0

[fallow brook]

okay wait lemme read through

[leaden ocean]

that's what you're telling us

[narrow lark]

Her for everyone wondering what the bug was:

We have 2 Clients, wehn a person touches this both client scripts detect: Oh theres a touch. So both open the door, to fix this we need to check if the player who touched it is the same player who we are opening the door for

[leaden ocean]

y

[next snow]

Just ask chatgpt, "tell me what this script does" and paste ther script

[gentle maple]

isopen is literally set to false what are you on about

[leaden ocean]

idk bro

[fallow brook]

so im confused on what this means

[leaden ocean]

it's kinda confusing what you said

[leaden ocean]

😭

or i'm js stupid

[gentle maple]

markec said that

[fallow brook]

what does it mean by isOpen and 0.5 or 0

[next snow]

bruh

[gentle maple]

if isopen is true then transparency is 0.5

[next snow]

ask chatgpt twin

[gentle maple]

if isopen is false then

transparency is 0

[leaden ocean]

btw did you tell thank you to chat gpt on every chat?

[fallow brook]

ohhh so it works like a flipflop basically

[leaden ocean]

'cause you better prepare for that invasion that bouta come

[gentle maple]

yes

[fallow brook]

okay thank you

so the first value is for true and the second value is for false

[gentle maple]

something like that

ask markec he knows

or she

[leaden ocean]

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/spores-ashes frie modpack btw

[gentle maple]

no discriminating

[narrow lark]

yes

[fallow brook]

so its a very short way of saying:
if isOpen == true then
startWall.Transparency = 0.5
else
startWall.Transparency = 0
??

[narrow lark]

why not me i wrote that fucking script 😭

[narrow lark]

correct

[fallow brook]

wow

thats actually helpful

thanks alot

youre a legend

[gentle maple]

wait my brain turned off for a sec

it was bc markec said an explanation of it

not the code

😔

[fallow brook]

im gonna study your code tomorrow and try to learn the things i dont understand

[gentle maple]

what i meant to say was

ask zyos he knows

[narrow lark]

js cause hes s1

[gentle maple]

frfr

[fallow brook]

I think its funny how the s1 Markec was less helpful and kind than the rest of you

[next snow]

no its' not, its dogshit, it has 16 downloads 💔

[leaden ocean]

dam

let me try it out rq

[fallow brook]

Thank you rascal and zyos and Ryker, youve been a big help!

[narrow lark]

even you could get s1 tbf

[fallow brook]

lmao facts

[next snow]

You're taking ts too far

I feel insulted

[fallow brook]

Anyways, im gonna set this to completed now, best of luck to you all!

[leaden ocean]

'cause you ARE getting insulted

hear me out

[leaden ocean]

yes?

FIRE MOD

absolute masterpiece

but um

HOW THE FUCK

[narrow lark]

s1 is like silver 1 in csgo

[leaden ocean]

IS THAT A HEAR ME OUT

[narrow lark]

shhh

[leaden ocean]

you good bro?

like why the fuck do you wanna reproduce with that shi

[next snow]

says the s0 guy 💔

[narrow lark]

yes

cause im not creating 3 projects just to leak my source code🙏

[leaden ocean]

bro i'm definitely, 100% def not a lie so addicted to your modpack

it's soo freakin' coo

cool*

[narrow lark]

yall dont have any perks with s1 you cant even write in pro scripting 😭

[next snow]

i bet all the rankers can't wait to steal your source code

[leaden ocean]

i didn't even know there's a advanced scripting help

how can i get to that channel

[narrow lark]

its scripting-pro mb

[leaden ocean]

how do i get the rank

[next snow]

u mean #📜︱pro-scripting ?

[narrow lark]

either make yourself a name and get the role for it or apply for atleast s2

[leaden ocean]

oh k

i'm not oding allat

[narrow lark]

fr

[next snow]

also i applied for s1 like, 2 years ago

[leaden ocean]

yk rlcraft?

[next snow]

no, i live under a rock, whats that

[leaden ocean]

ok so um

yk them recreations?

[next snow]

no

[leaden ocean]

well i'm making a recreation of rlcraft 😄

[narrow lark]

I would even have some projects to send in but you also gotta screen record the use cases and shit

[leaden ocean]

atp i'll js use chatgpt to get an easy free way in

let's be honest

most of developers nowadays use chatgpt for aiding and stuff

some even use it for the whole game

[narrow lark]

idk how big these projects need to be for s2

[leaden ocean]

i mean i got a whole fnaf game

does that count

it's got 10 nights

and full functionality

[narrow lark]

nah

[leaden ocean]

wtf you mean nah

it took me MONTHS to make it

[next snow]

not that big, i sent a scuffed flee the facility game, and i got s1, i used like 2 models and 4 scripts in the game, its prtetty easy

[leaden ocean]

even tho fnaf is dead

[next snow]

They said i might be S2, but dint give 🙁

[leaden ocean]

and no one cares about it in roblox

[leaden ocean]

key word: might

[next snow]

when meghan fox chica

https://tenor.com/view/chica-toy-chica-fnaf-foxy-freddy-gif-938004550236127790

[leaden ocean]

i mean

the chica is quite uhm

[next snow]

yeah,m but that was like 2 years ago with a half broken game lol

[leaden ocean]

how do i make this family friendly

quite attractive

[narrow lark]

one guy built a lua to 64 bit compiler and they told him that this isnt enough because it can't be used for games

[leaden ocean]

but my script is a whole fucking functional game

[next snow]

s2 is pretty easy

[leaden ocean]

i mean multiple scripts

it's got cameras,

power

[narrow lark]

idk take 3 small parts of the game

[lethal ermine]

Are you guys trying to make this thread 1000 messages

[leaden ocean]

and more

[next snow]

ye

[leaden ocean]

maybe

[narrow lark]

3am btw took 1:30h to figure out the bug

[leaden ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/we-gon-make-history-historical-were-gonna-do-this-first-time-ever-history-gif-16120528

bump

bump

bump

[next snow]

not even a bug ,its everyone just being stupid 💔

[leaden ocean]

true

true

true

[narrow lark]

fr tho its kinda easy now that you know what it is but without knowing you like never figure this out

[gentle maple]

if player.Name==player.Name then btw 🔥

[narrow lark]

like fr the concept was good

he was on the right pat

h

[gentle maple]

something like that

just that

nevermind

[narrow lark]

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if player.Name ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name then return end

I mean he was close

[gentle maple]

yea

[narrow lark]

kinda

look at the bottom of this @leaden ocean , someone sent this in yesterday

[gentle maple]

what does _G even do

[narrow lark]

dont even ask

you wont need it

[gentle maple]

i just did

[narrow lark]

and im telling you you dont need to know cause you will never use it

[gentle maple]

ok its basically a modulescript from every script

i said that horribly

[narrow lark]

huh

[gentle maple]

but

yeah

[narrow lark]

no its a global variable

[gentle maple]

where you can use variables from other scripts

thats what i meant

[narrow lark]

yeah idk its a global variable but its like wait() its there but its ass

[gentle maple]

_VERSION is place version right

or sum

ok anyways no need of these useless variable stuff

[narrow lark]

idk

never used it

[narrow lark]

1 more tipp for you, never get into fucking type checking it's gonna make you mentally instable

[gentle maple]

like

type and typeof

[narrow lark]

no

like

local myNewString : String = "example"

[gentle maple]

i do that but with parameters in functions and sh

like

local function blahblah(player : Player, string : String, blah : IntValue)
end

[narrow lark]

yeah

[gentle maple]

also what does it mean if people do like

local hi="idek"
local k, p = hi

idk what the second line does

[narrow lark]

you define 2 variables at once
so its short for:

local i = "idek"
local k = hi
local p = hi

[gentle maple]

oh

so what does it mean if like

local success, errormsg = pcall(function()
    blah blah blah
end)

and like

if success then
  blahblah
elseif not success then
  print(errormsg)
end

[warped citrus]

why is this over 650 messages for ".cancollide=false in a localscript"?

[narrow lark]

if theres an error in the pcall it won't break the script but catch it

[narrow lark]

@warped citrus so this was the cause and now we just chilling

[gentle maple]

yeah

now this is just a chatroom

after it got solved

[warped citrus]

mmk 🤷

[narrow lark]

and here you can either do stuff wehn theres no errors or do stoff wehn there were errors

[gentle maple]

so success and errormsg both equal pcall

[thorny halo]

** You are now Level 8! **

[gentle maple]

?

[narrow lark]

huh

error message is nil if there were no errors i think and success is either true or false

[gentle maple]

so how come

local hi="idek"
local k, p = hi
``` k, and p, equal the same

but success and errormsg dont

[narrow lark]

ye

[gentle maple]

is like

[narrow lark]

i think pcall returns something like this:

return true, error("nothing")

[gentle maple]

oh

so success is like an outcome of the errormsg

or pcall

somethign like that

something

[narrow lark]

yes

cuz pcall is a function it returns something

and that is success and errormessage

[gentle maple]

how does task.spawn() work (not as a function just plain ol task.spawn())

[high haven]

if u touch the button add a tag to the player. if the player has that tag they can walk through the gate

i think ts would work

[gentle maple]

problems fixed

[high haven]

oh ok

[narrow lark]

okay imagine this:
You have a stack of plates, every plate is 1 line of code and you can only take 1 plate off at a time (execute 1 line of code per time), wehn task.spawn comes in you take the plates (amount of lines in the task.spawn function) and put it to the side then you can take off 1 plate on each stack at a time. So task.spawn lets you execute stuff while not stoppin the main script yk

[gentle maple]

thats task.spawn(function() i know how that works

[narrow lark]

o

[gentle maple]

but ive seen peolpe do something like

task.spawn(playerAdded, player)

in profile service

like this for example

[narrow lark]

im guessing profile service takes longer to setup and thats why we are creating a second task so the script doesnt need to stop

[gentle maple]

ok so how does this example work

also playerAdded is a local function

[narrow lark]

short for:

task.spawn(function()
    playerAdded(player)
end)

[gentle maple]

oh

i was thinking that also

but still asked

just incase

[warped citrus]

k and p don't equal the same

[narrow lark]

ye

[gentle maple]

idk he said this

[narrow lark]

they dont?

[warped citrus]

;compile lua lua local hi="idek" local k, p = hi print("k=",k,"| p=",p)

[narrow lark]

omg they dont

[frigid glade]

Program Output

k=idek| p=nil

.pyrofire | lua | lua-5.4.7 | wandbox.org

[narrow lark]

yea

mbmb

[gentle maple]

how come p equals nil

[warped citrus]

local x,y=a,b

[gentle maple]

oh

[narrow lark]

ye

[warped citrus]

second value not specified so it is nil

like doing just local x

[gentle maple]

OHHHH

ok

so like

local x="blah"
local y="blah2"
local k,p=x,y

[warped citrus]

you usually won't ever use this except when line compression or doing swap

;compile lua lua local x,y=5,200 print(x,",",y) y,x=x,y print(x,",",y)

[frigid glade]

Program Output

5,200
200,5

.pyrofire | lua | lua-5.4.7 | wandbox.org

[gentle maple]

?

[warped citrus]

line compression is why have x and y declared on separate lines when they can be done on the same line? but for a beginner, do not do that, you'll only make it harder for yourself later

oh, it does come up when functions have multiple return value

[gentle maple]

what does swap mean in this context

[narrow lark]

like pcall

[warped citrus]

swaps the value in 2 variables

[gentle maple]

ok

[warped citrus]

without doing x,y=y,x you need a 3rd temporary variable

for local x,y=2,5 local temp=x x=y y=temp same thing

why go through all that trouble when you can just write x,y=y,x instead

[narrow lark]

I still dont get why this works, cuz at the time y = x, x should already be y but its not

[warped citrus]

the expression is evaluated as a whole, not in parts

[narrow lark]

yea

[gentle maple]

if it was in parts then would x=y

or something like that

[warped citrus]

ya then it wouldn't work

you'd need temp variable again

though tbh pretty rare you need to manually swap variables

usually happens when sorting tables, which you have table.sort to do that for you

tbl[a], tbl[b] = tbl[b], tbl[a]

[gentle maple]

just to clarify

another thing

i am going to ask

for i, v in randomfolder:GetChildren() do
    local onechild=randomFolder[i]
    
end```

why would this not work

wait

nvm

i think i know why it wouldnt work

[warped citrus]

local onechild=randomFolder[v.Name]

[gentle maple]

what if like

[narrow lark]

take it back

[gentle maple]

i wanted to do it with I

i

would it be randomFolder:GetChildren()[i] ?

[warped citrus]

the i in when looping through GetChildren is arbitrary and doesn't mean anything

the order is also not guaranteed

do not rely on it

[narrow lark]

you'd have to index with numbers and not strings right

[warped citrus]

that said, if you store the result of getchildren, then it will stay consistent - but it still won't be in any reliable order

[gentle maple]

oh alr

[narrow lark]

yeah that shit is too advanced

[warped citrus]

local kids=randomFolder:GetChildren()
for i,v in kids do
  local onechild=kids[i]
end```

but if you're iterating like that you wouldn't use pairs, you'd use numeric iterator instead
for i=1,#kids do local v=kids[i] end

since in the pairs loop you already have the value of v

[gentle maple]

what is the difference between ipairs and pairs

still wondering

[warped citrus]

ipairs is for consecutive arrays to be iterated in order

[gentle maple]

i heard one is for arrays and one is for dictionaries

[warped citrus]

pairs is unordered

[gentle maple]

so pairs is practically random

and ipairs is the same

or something

[warped citrus]

i avoid using the word random very intentionally - it is not random

but it also doesn't have an order

best you can say is it has "memory order"

which is almost random but not quite

if you want proper random order you have to do things to the table or iterate it in a certain way to get proper randomness

can't just assume it's random, you need to deliberately make it random.

roblox merged ipairs and pairs so not using either will use roblox's version of ipairs by default

which works on dicts as well as arrays and tends to internally sort things

-- you shouldn't rely on that though. if you want ordered data, you should always sort it yourself to guarantee the order you intended

[gentle maple]

local noclue={
  "Hi"
}
local noclue2={
  ["Hi"]={},
}```
which one is an array and dictionary or none

[warped citrus]

first one is an array the second is a dict

[gentle maple]

now that i think about it

its kinda self explanatory

[warped citrus]

yep only difference is string keys

[gentle maple]

because lets say arrays in math are just numbers with nothing to it

[warped citrus]

well

i mean

you can use anything as a key

[gentle maple]

but dictionaries are like words with the meaning

[warped citrus]

;compile lua lua local a={foo="bar"} local t={ [a]="thing" } print(t[a]) print(a.foo)

[frigid glade]

Program Output

thing
bar

.pyrofire | lua | lua-5.4.7 | wandbox.org

[warped citrus]

including other tables as a key.

not sure about nil tho but hey always try stuff out and see what happens

;compile lua lua local t={ [nil]="foo" } print(t[nil])

[frigid glade]

Program Output

/opt/wandbox/lua-5.4.7/bin/lua: prog.lua:1: table index is nil
stack traceback:
prog.lua:1: in main chunk
[C]: in ?

.pyrofire | lua | lua-5.4.7 | wandbox.org

[warped citrus]

[gentle maple]

so this would technically be a dictionary

[warped citrus]

it is a dict, yes

[gentle maple]

also is it just higher ranks that can use compile

[warped citrus]

no anyone can use it, i just know how to

[gentle maple]

;compile lua

print("hi")

[frigid glade]

Program Output

hi

sk1zzy_l4zy | lua | lua-5.4.7 | wandbox.org

[gentle maple]

ayy

it worked

[warped citrus]

just keep in mind compiler bot uses lua, not roblox's luau, so some features won't work like the for k,v in t do will be unrecognized, you must specify iterator like pairs()

[gentle maple]

;compile lua

local myTable={}
local myTable2={
  "TheDevKing",
"BrawlDev"
}
table.insert(myTable, myTable2)
for i, v in pairs(myTable) do
  print(v)

    print(string.sub(myText,0,i)

[warped citrus]

you can edit btw and compilebot updates

or just use this https://luau.org/demo

[warped citrus]

yeah tables are actually pointers. only roblox has a built-in PrintTable

outside of roblox you have to write your own

[gentle maple]

if i have to write my own how would it work

[warped citrus]

like this but you also print the key, make it recursive, and probably add some formatting
