Optimizing Games

[patent heath]

bro why is it so hard to go back and refractor/optimize games...

is there a way to show all scripts that contains a mention of something?

ps: anyone have a template on how to organize scripts and assets/models? kinda trash at that

[north pecan]

you can use ctrl + shift + f for your second question

[patent heath]

thank you

[queen pollen]

template?

like a framework?

there's plenty of youtube tutorial

hold on

[patent heath]

yeah exactly

i look at a few, but they all got pretty bad reviews

i also saw a lot of videos on organizing with modules which i dont get the point. i know that you can reuse code in module scripts, but I don't get the idea of loading modules and using them for organization?

[queen pollen]

oh yea thats what i was thinking before too

[queen pollen]

dont mind the review

[queen pollen]

basically

if you write it in a module

its cleaner

basically you write all of your codes in module

instead of having 10 differnt local script with 10 different modules like

SprintHandler

InputHandler

just use a module Loader

[patent heath]

why not just put them all in a regular script?

in a module right

would it operate the same way as a regular script then?

[queen pollen]

yes

[patent heath]

are u adding the functions to the table and then calling them at the end?

[queen pollen]

yes

its more organized

like would you prefer all module script and 1 local scirrpt

or some module script some local script

[patent heath]

ig all module scripts

[queen pollen]

exactly

its harder to implement tho

but its cleaner

the more you do it the easier

[patent heath]

what makes it harder?

[queen pollen]

since we're all used to local script and server script

you'll have to get used to making it all in a function and stuff

[patent heath]

oh ok

then we would have a loader right

[queen pollen]

its not really that much harder lowkey

[patent heath]

is it only responsible for loading the modules and nothing else?

[queen pollen]

yes

it basically just call all the modules so it can run like a normal script

[patent heath]

got it

so rn i have something like this

but on the server side

idk where to do the same thing

so i have like local scripts all over the place

what do u think abt my server side modules?

I've also seen some client modules like this

[queen pollen]

same thing

[patent heath]

Should i do that ?

[queen pollen]

yes

[queen pollen]

you can sort it further

like

Player Folder

Egg Folder

also

Data modules dont need to be laoded

its best to put it in another folder or smtg

[patent heath]

will it cause an issue if its loaded?

oh wait i get what ur saying

wait no i dont

** You are now Level 2! **

[patent heath]

if u not require it how will the code inside it run

[sweet grove]

You require them in the loader

And u require the loader

[patent heath]

?

I only have one loader

[sweet grove]

Oh

[queen pollen]

no

just write a normal script

paste it in a function

and call that function

in the loader

personally speaking i never even used module loader in my life lol

[patent heath]

huh

do u still organize ur game w modules then?

[queen pollen]

yes

i use modules

but not modules based

i feel like its easier to understand what is a util what is a manager

[patent heath]

oh ok

[sudden basin]

just use module loaders also another good way to seperate client from server

[patent heath]

in the init() function, can I also initialize variables in it. I often need to reference gui that is from the player so i need to wait for the player to come thru first.

I currently have something that look like this.

what do you think abt it?

Another example:

@queen pollen can i get ur opinion too?

I also kinda like this because it reminds me of instantiating java var

[queen pollen]

is this local?

just do the normal way

no need params lowkey

you can add it doesnt matter

but just use plr = Players.LocalPlayer blablalbla then plr.CharacterAdded
