MOTION build competition - Discussion post

[hollow canyon]

oml the shortest video i can send is 28 seconds it doesnt mean im animating a video in roblox im doing something else with motion

[north condor]

ok

[hollow canyon]

[upper rapids]

imagine i sent a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of a video of me making a video viewer in oaklands

[stiff hill]

My brain after attempting to read that:😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[proud meteor]

aint reading allat

[charred cosmos]

omgg bro ya this true you need to make anther one

you can make it 1.5x or something like this

[tepid lichen]

mor frames

i feel like you could just have one looping timer

instead of 40

billion

timer and an incrementer

each number corresponds to frame

maybe

idk

[idle vortex]

MAAAYBE

but it's working so nah, it's good

[upper rapids]

yea

im not fully sure but that probably helps with laggy servers

costs more though

since you need an and gate and number interface for each of the frames

but you can also remove the memories

[coarse mica]

Tether clocks worked the best for me

Stops the logic from skipping frames when the server lag spikes

[upper rapids]

yea

i do find it important to not tell anyone to use tethers as timers unless they know what they are doing

[coarse mica]

Also, i didnt notice how many timers there was in the image wtf

[coarse mica]

Yeah, it's a bit more complex to explain and to set it up instead of using a frequency or a Hz clock

[upper rapids]

yea

[unreal umbra]

Wrong may 3rd

[upper rapids]

do images have to be made after the competition start date?

[fickle gorge]

I thought it ended on the 2nd

I remember them saying the 2nd

[scarlet bloom]

@fickle gorge

[upper rapids]

welp

time to create a bunch of images i guess

[scarlet bloom]

wait do you mean ingame images

or images of your build

[worthy nimbus]

All of you are WRONG!!!!

[livid magnet]

you are all wrong it ends may 3727277282th

[proud meteor]

erm its actually 3727277282nd** smh my head 🙄

[cunning whale]

Sorry im late

The comp already ended?

Oh it did

Goodbye

[mortal spade]

no????

the competition ends on the 25th

[cunning whale]

Oh ok

But like

How we make moving parts if dont have a motor

Like there isnt any way to move parts there is?

Anyway i cant even join the game because my pc turns off and my phone is so bad it closes the game by itself after playing for 2 minutes

My pc is 11 years old lol

12*

[mortal spade]

you gotta get creative with what we got

[charred cosmos]

[upper rapids]

like if i wanted an image of a car from the internet

[upper rapids]

blue screen?

[scarlet bloom]

then they can

[fickle gorge]

Funny

[coarse mica]

cool

[fickle gorge]

Marble spinny device

[fickle gorge]

Yet ANOTHER addition to the candy shop

[worn pebble]

oko! a new eating animation and a hunger bar!

[sharp plume]

b

guh wrong post

[fickle gorge]

Tamogachi moment

[hoary pollen]

How’s this place going

I’m not posting mine till it’s done

[upper rapids]

welp

ima have to speedrun my thing lol

although maybe not

[north condor]

still like 20 days left

[upper rapids]

idk how long 30 seconds is

[upper rapids]

the video length

[north condor]

oh

30sec is fairly long

you can prob cut off some parts

[upper rapids]

maybe yea

[north condor]

or speed up the vid lol

[upper rapids]

or maybe if we could make 1 thirty second long video

and then another video as long as needed

[idle vortex]

10 hours video

[upper rapids]

yes

[idle vortex]

Jak would enjoy

[fickle gorge]

I'm scrapping my submission (yet again)

[north condor]

aw why?

[fickle gorge]

Had no ideas

[north condor]

scrapping a non existent idea?

[fickle gorge]

I had no ideas on what to add

[north condor]

oh ok

what was it?

[upper rapids]

i might have to scrap my idea

although i guess i could speed it up

cause rn i think its around 1 minute and 30 seconds long

[mortal spade]

...just make a 15-30 second clip of it?

like you probably dont need to showcase the entire movement in the preview

[upper rapids]

i guess yea

but i kinda did design the idea around it not being 15 seconds long

[mortal spade]

i mean you could always include a longer video in a showcase, but the main submission should be 15-30 seconds

[upper rapids]

oh

well in that case then there isnt really a problem

but idk if we can actually do that

[north condor]

you can prob post the 15-30sec clip and link to an oakspace post with your whole project

[upper rapids]

good idea

[proud meteor]

im kinda happy the video is only 15-30 seconds long because it would take way too much logic for something longer 😭

[fickle gorge]

Candy shop

[north condor]

oh yeah like a factory

[fickle gorge]

This what I'm making rn

[north condor]

like the cores rolling toward the player?

[fickle gorge]

Nah it was supposed to be on the back of the thingy

But it came out

[north condor]

so like the seat is a viewing point?

[fickle gorge]

It's gonna be a mech

[north condor]

viewing point for what?

ohhh

[fickle gorge]

With full interior

[north condor]

nice

[north condor]

wich part do you think you'ill try to make move?

[fickle gorge]

Idk I might make some displays that play little animations

[north condor]

kk

[trim nymph]

@tepid lichen are gambling machines allowed????

Ping me with ur answer

[tepid lichen]

If it follows the rules of competition and has moving parts / large aspect of motion to it

[upper rapids]

anyone need any help?

ive decided not to do my idea since its boring working alone

[charred cosmos]

@tepid lichen I am currently working on the Quoridor game. According to what I read in the rules, this is allowed, so I just want to make sure of this ?

sorry jak bcs i ask you alot

[fickle gorge]

Jak can you please ping me when submissions open so I can remember to put my build there

[north condor]

they'ill open on the ~18

and close on the 25

[fickle gorge]

Ah ok

[fickle gorge]

Ignore the emberbane

[north condor]

das cool

[tepid lichen]

how is that moving at all lol

[upper rapids]

you move the walls around

to block of the pieces

i think

[charred cosmos]

Im Finesh like 40%100 and i will send pic when i go bake my home

[willow musk]

I think its a pedestral

[tepid lichen]

ehh

not really motion

[tired furnace]

Reminds me when i did something similar to make a shawarma/kebab machine out of acacia wood

[fickle gorge]

Nice

[tired furnace]

is it fine to post builds in this channel that aren't a competetion submission, but just relevant to the conversation/showing a technique?

[tired furnace]

@fickle gorge This is what i was talking about

[fickle gorge]

Ah

[charred cosmos]

haa ?

[charred cosmos]

xdd

[charred cosmos]

nop not like thins i will send pic

[charred cosmos]

i will send a pic when i joine the game :}

[charred cosmos]

xddd

[charred cosmos]

this is the player xd and this doors are fences

[upper rapids]

i dont think he was replying to the right thing

[charred cosmos]

WDYM ?

I MEAN THIS DOORS

[upper rapids]

i meant

[upper rapids]

this probably was for the meteor core

idk though

[idle vortex]

doors.
floor 3.
the build competition.

[charred cosmos]

broo what do you say xd

[idle vortex]

Random words

[charred cosmos]

ok 😐 xd

[charred cosmos]

i mean something like that so i can move all this wth logice soo can i make this or the roles cant make it ?

[north condor]

https://tenor.com/view/cute-emoji-smiley-thinking-scratching-head-gif-17835192

[charred cosmos]

xd idk how to tell you guys my english is very baad

:{ xd

[tepid lichen]

no

[tepid lichen]

this isn't really what I'm looking for in the comp srry

sure there is moving doors but like it's not something like actually moving / any illusion of movement

its just doors opening and closing there's no movement

[fickle gorge]

But this counts right?

[tepid lichen]

Uhh that's fine as an aspect of it but it should be more than just that lol

Like if you have a bunch of small moving details that's good

[charred cosmos]

no the palyers movement and lcd idk how to say this :{{{

i hate my English

[north condor]

ohhh i think i understand

you mean the player can push walls around to move them?

and that would be animated with logic

[charred cosmos]

1min i will trnslet to you what i mean 1min

@tepid lichen @north condor How the game works:

It’s exactly like the real-life version of the game. It’s basically an elevator, and this is the game. I tried to find anything else to represent the game, but I couldn’t find anything, so I used the elevator and the door as the barrier or wall. The player cannot pass through the wall.

You have 4 buttons to control the player: forward, backward, left, and right. And there are 9 vertical and 9 horizontal buttons for the walls for each player. The first button you press determines the vertical position, and the second button determines the horizontal and vertical wall placement.

You can only do one thing per turn: either move the player one step or place a wall. All of this is powered by electricity, and there’s also an LCD screen that tells you which player you are. If the light is blue, that means you are the blue player, and the opposite is true as well.

I hope my explanation is clear. Thank you!

i think you can now get it xd :{

my bad guys

if you stell unknow tell me guys

[coarse mica]

i think i had a stroke reading that

[charred cosmos]

xd why ?

[coarse mica]

ah this makes more sense

but at the same time, idk if that gives a feel/illusion of movement

it's still a cool idea, i just dont know if it counts for the comp

[charred cosmos]

ty bur ya i ask about this bcs im ardy finesh like 55 % 100 so i cant make a new something :{{

im raly bay for this game like 1.1M to get only the something so make it soo plls i need to send it :{{

[coarse mica]

i believe you can still try going for the comp with the project, right @tepid lichen? (sorry for the ping)

[charred cosmos]

and this logice wth Build so the roles tell this and i maked this

[charred cosmos]

i hope :} ty all and sorry again for the ping guys

[tepid lichen]

Already responded to it

[coarse mica]

ah i didnt see that mb

[charred cosmos]

:{ ok soo look when i finesh it can i send it to you in DM or here and tell me if i can or no i think i need like 5Days to finesh plls bro

[charred cosmos]

I feel that it will be one of the best things i made it Give me a chance, please.

[charred cosmos]

if you can tel me jak but im raly make this from 7Days ago and im done 60 % 100 and if you cant np and ty for help me for anything

[fickle gorge]

I'm planning on that

Detailing the interior

Still trying to decide between legs and treads

[lethal minnow]

@tepid lichen Question, if you have a car with flashing lights but it's for decoration, would that work, or just no cars in general?

[tepid lichen]

What else is going on with the car

It can't just be a car with lights

[lethal minnow]

The plan is like an infestation of an abandoned house with (hopefully) animated monsters using the billboards the car would be for decoration/background stuff

[tepid lichen]

that's fine sure

It was more like the whole build can't just be a car w/ lights, but if you have a bunch of other movement stuff yea thats totally fine

[lethal minnow]

Perfect! hopefully I can get someone to do the logic for me, I got no clue how that stuff works

[tired furnace]

House with doors and car with flickering lights together

(jk your idea is actually very nice)

[lethal minnow]

Thx, hopefully my idea comes to fruition, still haven't worked on the logic side of things yet D;

[fickle gorge]

I wanted to make a prawn suit so bad😭

[cosmic lantern]

does this counts?

[north condor]

nothing's moving

[mortal spade]

i dont see any movement

[paper terrace]

Ugh

I wish they added pistons that actually moves schematics

[mortal spade]

the fun in the challenge is working with what we got

we don't have a lot so make what does work count

[paper terrace]

Hmm
Currently the moving parts are

Doors
Elevators
Conveyor aren't moving but moves things around
Pedestal only rotates .. .

Led isn't moving but the displays can

[mortal spade]

LEDs can mimic movement if you use them right

make animations

[paper terrace]

Hmm
I think ill have to actually do what i got concept of

It wasn't much movement but
It tries to make the user thinks their purchased fusion coil is actually being made

[mortal spade]

an assembly line could be fun

you could mimic pistons that crush stuff if you use elevators

[paper terrace]

By using some elevators to make it so the mysterious liquid is being poured in

[mortal spade]

or sliding doors

[paper terrace]

And some puff of smokes

[mortal spade]

yea you got options

[paper terrace]

Do you need sounds for this

[mortal spade]

don't think so but you could probably mess with the music notes for detail

[paper terrace]

I was just thinking about the legend of zelda's chest opening sound

Or the item obtaining sound

[mortal spade]

you wouldn't be able to import actual sounds so you'd have to make em by hand with music notes so gl

[paper terrace]

At the end of the assembly line

[mortal spade]

you could also use object collisions like jars hitting the ground

to make certain noises occur

[paper terrace]

Wait
Did they allow vertical refineries
Or did the dev patched it

Like it used to be a loop
Constantly making that anvil sound

[mortal spade]

i think you can't feed a refined object into a refinery for like 3 seconds

you could just stock up on rocks though and dispense them at the right time

[paper terrace]

So the dev patched it

It's possible for a loop tho

Does progress bars with neon lights counts?
Bunch of interacts and delays

[mortal spade]

i mean a progress bar on its own wouldnt be much

if it's alongside though it could be good

you could make it a progress wheel instead with little gifs too

more movement the better

[paper terrace]

It's meant inside the machine

But the timing of physics objects . . .

[mortal spade]

lasers do exist

and pressure plates

[paper terrace]

The item (coil) is meant to stay static inside a compartment
A door closes
The progress bar starts
-Activate elevator set at slow speed with a piece of mysterious mushroom on top,
-displayed via a small glass in a hollow tank connected to the compartment

Then the door opens followed by a pink smoke
And the item is ready to be retrieved

[mortal spade]

simple solution would be to base the progress bar off of the elevator instead by using lasers to check for its position

so the progress bar wouldn't finish until the elevator finishes

[paper terrace]

Hmm right

[paper terrace]

Question

Is this challenge Solo only?

[mortal spade]

no, read the guidelines

you can work with others

[paper terrace]

Facttssss

[mortal spade]

hm, just got a simpler idea

@tepid lichen if i made snake would that count, like just snake with like LCDs or smthn

or would it need more

just curious, still gonna go with my other idea but might be a fun side project

[paper terrace]

Does the spinning chip gif count with a note blocks of funkytown

Ugh I can't load the first message

[mortal spade]

i mean it is movement but i don't think it would score very high

maybe if it was playing on a built tv

[paper terrace]

Because a literal engine is a bit costly if you consider all the bombs it requires
Pistons yeah sure
The rotational forces are a bit of a problem

[mortal spade]

you could fake explosions with turning on/off fire emitters

or triggering cannons with an alt in them maybe

the latter being significantly more deranged

[paper terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/thomas-schwenke-engine-education-dieselengine-gif-14368094

Ugh
An Oil pumpjack is just not possible

[upper rapids]

elevators

[paper terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/pump-oil-gif-13386159

Rotsting parts

[upper rapids]

billboards

pedestals

well idk about pedestals

but how about turntables

the engine just gotta be big

[vale lake]

we can turn on/off fire emiter ? Wow i just know about it 😆

🔥 🔥

[vale lake]

Like interact by signal 10 to triger it ?

[granite moth]

welp just got a spark of idea so I may join

[mortal spade]

yeah smthn like that

[vale lake]

Daang it actualy 🔥 🔥

[mortal spade]

oh a tv with the bouncing dvd logo might be a funny build

[tepid lichen]

There's not movement

[tepid lichen]

Ehhh id probably allow it but don't think it would do well

[mortal spade]

fair, might do it after the competition lol

still gonna go with my main idea after i get this next essay done

[paper terrace]

Ohh im gonna watch it bounce perfectly on a corner

[mortal spade]

might be fun trying to figure out an efficient way to reference each pixel, without using a bajillion comps

[granite moth]

wait so billboard with transparency just works?

[north condor]

billboard display are slightly offset

so you can layer stuff

like schem -> poster -> billboard

[granite moth]

ah so it's poster that's underneath

[north condor]

looks like blackstone filled schem to me

[granite moth]

wait so a blackstone filled schem then a billboard offset by 0.01 studs?

[north condor]

yeah but backward so the texture of the billboard doesnt z fight with the schem

[granite moth]

interesting

[north condor]

since you can use transparent png for poster you can also layer those infinitely

[granite moth]

only viewable at a certain angle

but that's fine

[north condor]

what the poster?

[granite moth]

the billboard image on top of a filled schem

[north condor]

oh if you offset it enough its fine

but most of the time poster + billboard is the best

[north condor]

a bar?

oh like the moving target you shoot?

[granite moth]

yes

[north condor]

how are you gonna do the

well

shooting

[granite moth]

it's mind controlled

so it happens automatically for you

[north condor]

kk

[upper rapids]

lol

[charred cosmos]

xd

[upper rapids]

why not make it work with a boom blaster

or apples

[scarlet bloom]

jak ik objectinator is scrapped but is there even the SLIGHTEST chance we might get it

[upper rapids]

1/1.1 chance he says yes

cause slightest chance means probably not but you never know

[mortal spade]

entire thread is just people asking for the ability to move schematics

[charred cosmos]

wdym ?

[upper rapids]

lol

[charred cosmos]

xd

[fickle gorge]

Jak! Give me spinners and my life is yours!

[mortal spade]

we have doors

[fickle gorge]

But doors don't spin

They rotate

[north condor]

they can

with enough doors

[fickle gorge]

But I just wish I could make the turret spin

[mortal spade]

get creative

[fickle gorge]

Aw

One thing I can't do

[proud meteor]

creative? creative mode? From the hit game minecraft??

[north condor]

sue oakland

[proud meteor]

fr

[upper rapids]

…

What are you suing the apples for

[north condor]

clearly an Iphone ripoff

hiding the evidence

[upper rapids]

yea

Sounded like you were talking about camera quality

That apple has terrible camera quality

Who’s going to make the suggestion of a turntable that works with schematics

And say the reason is for showing what you made

[fickle gorge]

Man

I just like seeing movement

Which is why Minecraft create mod is my goat

[paper terrace]

Will we ever get pistons . . .

[fickle gorge]

I hope

[idle vortex]

ima remake the watermelon gif

cuz its so bad

[granite moth]

i dont plan to make it interactive in the first place eh

[tired furnace]

I am gonna need like 70 decals and a few dozen specially trimmed trees for what I'm making 💀

Also building skills I don't have (will supplement it by spending waaaay too much time trying)

[granite moth]

lit finished making up the logic for it, just need to implement it!!

[upper rapids]

Ima need 100 decals

[tired furnace]

The pain of large scale animated display usage 😔

[upper rapids]

Yes

[tired furnace]

I forgot, were you the one building that haunted house thingy with moving monsters?

Wait no that was Frizz

[worthy nimbus]

the frizzler

[warped ferry]

is it still open?

[tired furnace]

The competetion?

[warped ferry]

ye

[tired furnace]

It is open yes

1 sec

[warped ferry]

when does it end ?

[tired furnace]

@warped ferry read this

[warped ferry]

ah ok

do i need to be master thats a general question not for the competition

[tired furnace]

What do you mean by that?

[warped ferry]

like if i need to be good a building or be good at logic to build machine that can make motion

[tired furnace]

Being good at logic is good but not required

The bar is quite low for entering

[warped ferry]

what bar ?

[tired furnace]

Just have a build that feels dynamic

[tired furnace]

"the bar is low" is a saying meaning you don't have to make sonething good to be sufficient

[warped ferry]

so that moves ? by dynamic ?

[warped ferry]

ah dindt know that but good thing ik now

[tired furnace]

Stuff that moves (conveyors, pedistals, doors, elevators ect.)
Illusion of movement (Animated LCD displays and billboards)

[warped ferry]

so i need to have illusion of movement for it to be a contest build ?

[tired furnace]

Either is good

Just have actual moving stuff

Not just a model of a vehicle

[granite moth]

though you need to have both a build AND movement

[tired furnace]

If you have an idea that you are unsure about, ask here or DM Jak if its good

I wanted to keep my idea a secret so I DMd him about it and got green light

[warped ferry]

@tired furnace can you check dms pls ?

[upper rapids]

i havent really made anything before

[coarse mica]

Only 70?

[north condor]

https://tenor.com/view/train-steam-gif-23821904

[charred cosmos]

xd nice

??? xd

[proud meteor]

@tepid lichen is it against the rules if some parts of a build are created by other people? As in I pay them to help build it?

[tepid lichen]

no that's fine

[north condor]

damn fr?

so would the commissioned individual be counted in splitting the reward or not?

[upper rapids]

Not unless you say they helped I don’t think

Like I could say you and I worked on something while you didn’t do anything

[north condor]

[lethal minnow]

?

[tired furnace]

i realized it was you later on

[lethal minnow]

Oh lol, did you need something or have a question about my build?

[tired furnace]

nah I'm good

[lethal minnow]

👍

[fickle gorge]

I need to get more motivation on this frfr

[fickle gorge]

Update (finally)

[scarlet bloom]

howwww

[fickle gorge]

Hehe radar go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[hoary pollen]

how many dayds left

[fickle gorge]

Glass texture lined up perfectly🤤

[fickle gorge]

T R E A D

[worn pebble]

sleeping animation now added!

( its not time for him to sleep yet but it is there )

okos logic

sleep

[vale lake]

How u feed her ?

[worn pebble]

/feed oko

then she plays a eating animation and the hunger bar resets

[tired furnace]

is that build motion?

[worn pebble]

its animated

[tired furnace]

i guess

fair enough

[north condor]

would be cool if there was like a slot for fruits

like it would recognise wich fruit it is and fill the feed bar depending on that

[worn pebble]

cant do that

[north condor]

Why?

[worn pebble]

idk how itd recognize the fruit

[north condor]

filter conveyor and laser

[worn pebble]

plus too complicated for very little reward

[north condor]

ah ok

[vale lake]

/feed oko apple 20 pcs

[vale lake]

Yoo its cool what it gonna be ?

[tired furnace]

oko died of overfeeding

[vale lake]

Wait what ?' Im ssoorryy 😭 i dont mean to

[fickle gorge]

The base for my submission

[fickle gorge]

Anyone know how to make animated lights?

[vale lake]

Yoo nice build

[fickle gorge]

Thanky

[fickle gorge]

Finally..

It's complete

I gave the interior some inspiration from the prawn suit from subnautica

So proud of how this came out

[fickle gorge]

Submissions open when?

[mortal spade]

imma be real this is cool, but idk if it has much movement at all

[fickle gorge]

I did as much a I could

[mortal spade]

up to jak i suppose

[fickle gorge]

@tepid lichen does this fit requirements?

[proud meteor]

whats with ur name

[fickle gorge]

Jektodhbentoofjejt

[proud meteor]

hejeirghrenjehhtt

[fickle gorge]

Yeg

There

Much better

I am the funny

[proud meteor]

fr

[tepid lichen]

uh

there is like

Zero movement

so no unfortunately that does not meet the requirements

[proud meteor]

rip vro 💔

[north condor]

🥀

[tepid lichen]

guys pls ask if you are unsure about your idea 🙏

[mortal spade]

rip

could probably modify it with some movement

like replace the hatch with a door

[coarse mica]

i cant wait for zillions of submissions being denied for "not enough motion" 🥀

[mortal spade]

i mean the entire competition is based around motion

[coarse mica]

yeah i know but a lot of them are getting denied

rightfully so but, still

[mortal spade]

yeaaa its a hard one given the limited toolset

but some of us will make it work

[coarse mica]

"no winners, everyone was disqualified" jk

would be kinda funny

also i didnt touch the comp project for a week now, im working on a plugin for oaklands gifs

[tepid lichen]

ive seen some rlly cool ideas

[proud meteor]

building my laptop

[lethal minnow]

My idea doesn't work D;
Got to think of something else now

This comp is a tricky one to implement
Best of luck to everyone, cus I know I am struggling

[cunning hollow]

thoughts?

[lethal minnow]

Cool door

[cunning hollow]

thx, ive actually been wanting to make this for my base for awile and the compitition was the perfect exuse

[lethal minnow]

Awesome! Wish I were having as much luck as you are with this comp. I and one other figured out that my main idea for the movement portion of my build won't work D;

Came up with another idea, but now I have to make another build on top of the one I have

Sadly I don't think flashing lights will cut it for movement

[upper rapids]

so far im feeling hopefull about my thing since no one else knows what to do

but the problem is i never started lol

well i did

[mortal spade]

i still havent really started on mine, but ill blame finals on that

imma prolly start on the 15th

[upper rapids]

ima start my one on the 14th

i started originally on the first day but the 30 second thing meant what i was doing was too much

so i have to only make the best part

[granite moth]

im starting to slow down working on it but i have the logics and animation done

[limpid lagoon]

ngl the last part was the most satisfying to watch 😭

[upper rapids]

can you guys stop teasing me lol

i cant watch the video

unless i download it

[fickle gorge]

Noooooo

Im cooked chat

[tepid lichen]

rlly cool

[tepid lichen]

nope

[fickle gorge]

What will I do now

No ideas

[mortal spade]

you still have like 2 weeks

[tepid lichen]

what is that machine you made

kinda looks like a prawn suit

[fickle gorge]

That's what I thought aswell

I even took inspiration from the prawn

[tepid lichen]

you could try to like make it look like it's moving using animated billboards outside

[mortal spade]

you could encase your build inside something that makes it look like it's moving? though that would require a lot of image uploads

[tepid lichen]

lol

yes

[mortal spade]

yeah lol

[fickle gorge]

My phone would fry

Frfr

How would it look like its moving tho

It doesn't use legs

[upper rapids]

i can upload images for you

[fickle gorge]

Ok

[north condor]

you can make the leg move using a 3d billboard matrix

[fickle gorge]

It doesn't use legs

[north condor]

ah

[fickle gorge]

It uses treads

[north condor]

make the treads move then 💀

[fickle gorge]

How

[upper rapids]

get like 4 images

or 1 image

[fickle gorge]

Ok

[upper rapids]

and then move it a bit 4 times

and then that would be an example of it moving

[fickle gorge]

We doing stop motion with this one🗣🗣

[upper rapids]

lol

[tepid lichen]

that's rlly cool idea yes

[upper rapids]

someone got to do that now then lol

[fickle gorge]

Bet

[tepid lichen]

how do you tp them

spawnpads

[upper rapids]

yea

[tepid lichen]

?

[fickle gorge]

Theoretically speaking

[tepid lichen]

cool

[fickle gorge]

I would just need to to myself

So spawnpads would work

[tepid lichen]

make the build 50 more times

😭

[upper rapids]

if its just schematics you can replicate

[tepid lichen]

honestly you could probably just do 10 and have a good walk cycle

[fickle gorge]

Ok now I start the painstaking process

[upper rapids]

but idk if the idea is even possible because of lag and things not loading in

[tepid lichen]

well if they all close to each other it should be fine

like you only tp like 20 studs

[upper rapids]

yea

[fickle gorge]

I probably won't have enough room for that

[upper rapids]

no limit in the sky

[tepid lichen]

just go vertical yea

[fickle gorge]

Correct

[tepid lichen]

make a stack of them lol

[fickle gorge]

Fr

To the moon and back

[upper rapids]

i cant wait to see the idea win while i was thinking of doing it a long time ago lol

[tepid lichen]

I hope more people do smthn like this

[fickle gorge]

Funny enough

[upper rapids]

i would but i feel like i have to do the thing i was talking about previously

[fickle gorge]

My main inspiration was actually the mech bosses from Terraria

Hehe

[upper rapids]

lol

someone should make this

[fickle gorge]

Now Imma need a lotta emboo

Metor time 😁

[fickle gorge]

How and what

[north condor]

build tracks out of billboards

[fickle gorge]

Hmmm

Good idea

[upper rapids]

or make 1000 of the mech

and each one has the tracks move slightly

i should of said it way later

so no one could do it lol

[tepid lichen]

animate stop motion with spawnpads

[north condor]

for a whole mech would be painful

might find sum good with doors tbh

[tepid lichen]

I mean it's not that big tbh

especially with like region select now I think it wouldn't be that bad

[north condor]

fair

[charred cosmos]

@tepid lichen can i edit the video ?

[tepid lichen]

in what way

You can do basic stuff like trimming or cropping vid

[north condor]

can we add sounds?

[tepid lichen]

Id like sounds to be ingame

[north condor]

kk

just tricky to make short sounds with the current vinyl system

[charred cosmos]

ya i know but can i make somethings like transtion ?

[tepid lichen]

yea just keep it simple

[charred cosmos]

alr ty

[cunning hollow]

thx :)

[cunning hollow]

ngl i thoght it was kinda basic

[fickle gorge]

@upper rapids can you make these 2 images inti image ids please?

[sturdy zodiac]

can i ask about a idea for this though ur dm

[tepid lichen]

yes

[upper rapids]

yea

but not that i think about it

[fickle gorge]

Ok

[upper rapids]

how are you going to deal with the corners

[fickle gorge]

Hmmmmmmmm

Idk

[sturdy zodiac]

i sent dm

[coarse mica]

@tepid lichen can i still remake my bad apple logic and upload 1200 frames for the comp? (jk i wont do it)
https://youtu.be/imSSK6KTq-0

[cunning hollow]

how did you convert all the seperat frames to decals?

[coarse mica]

wdym?

[cunning hollow]

were you the ones whos been making bad apple in oaklands or was that someone else?

[coarse mica]

me and someone else are making bad apple

but im making it with billboards and the other person is using leds

[cunning hollow]

how do you get each individual frame?

[coarse mica]

since it's a plugin i just make a table with every frame ID

[cunning hollow]

so you put all the frame ids into the plugin and it plays them?

[coarse mica]

yeah, there are 2 ways to do that in the plugin, i can either select all the decals and organize them in the table with a button, or put in a share code

so you can share animations with others, but the code is massive lol

here is a picture of the share code for 300 bad apple frames (doesnt event fit in the picture)

[cunning hollow]

so dose that mean you take a mp4 file or yt link and put it into the plugin, then it just makes all the decals or do you manually have to convert the video into decals

[cunning hollow]

dang

[coarse mica]

nope, you cant put a mp4 into it, you have to use ezgif or something else to split into frames, upload them yourself to roblox studio, select the decals and organize them inside the plugin

quite the effort, but it's easier than what i was doing before

[north condor]

and you can only upload 200 at a time 😭

[coarse mica]

""only""

[cunning hollow]

ezgif? is that a websit that just splits the video into seperate frames?

[north condor]

full fps vid hurts 🥲

[north condor]

yeah works with most video file

[coarse mica]

yeah

[cunning hollow]

bet, ive attempted to make a rickroll in gd a wile back but because i was simply taking screenshots every few frames it was supeer uneven, now i can make it much better :D

[coarse mica]

:]

im still finishing up some stuff on the plugin but ima make it public soon

[cunning hollow]

yea i think i did smt wrong cause this is about 1600 images

[coarse mica]

H O W

HOW MANY FPS DID U SELECT?????

[coarse mica]

thats more than my bad apple at 5 fps

[north condor]

27 second long vid at 60 fps is already 1600+ images

it goes up very quick

[coarse mica]

but 60 fps is a bit much

[north condor]

yeah even real animationn use like 24 fps

[coarse mica]

20 fps is alredy plenty, i only chose 5 fps for bad apple since it's 3 minutes long

[cunning hollow]

i dident know were to change it

[coarse mica]

hold on

[coarse mica]

also you cant even go to 60 fps

the max is only 20 fps for every 10 seconds of video

[cunning hollow]

so were do i go from here

[rough parcel]

hi

[coarse mica]

mb i didnt see it, but go a bit down and i think it will appear the options below

[rough parcel]

how do i submit my build

[north condor]

change the split option

[coarse mica]

submissions are not open yet

[rough parcel]

aw man

is there like a theme

[coarse mica]

yes, motion

[rough parcel]

what

[coarse mica]

anything that moves or gives the illusion of motion

[rough parcel]

aw man

[coarse mica]

.

[mortal spade]

read the competition introduction message challenge (impossible)

this is not the place to ask

[rough parcel]

i spent a long time building and it isnt even the theme

[coarse mica]

create a ticket pluh

[mortal spade]

well you could at least show off your build in oak media or smthn

[rough parcel]

oh ok

[coarse mica]

yea

[coarse mica]

is the video a gif or a mp4?

[mortal spade]

build submissions are due on the uh 25th so if you wanna start a new build

[ionic halo]

@coarse mica How

[coarse mica]

if it's a mp4 then go here

Typical Developers - MOTION build competition - Discussion post · Apr 26, 2025, 12:12 AM

[fickle gorge]

Gang I've been on break for a while

[upper rapids]

same

[cunning yarrow]

Is there any normal building competition soon like just building @tepid lichen

[granite moth]

give us more logic stuff jak

i enjoy doing logic

[upper rapids]

same

i feel sad that people keep asking for a building contest in this

its not even fully a logic competition either

but i do get why people want just building competitions

[mortal spade]

like we get building competitions already, this is smthn new for a different part of the community

and all people want is to skip it

[upper rapids]

yea

[coarse mica]

doing a logic comp is fun, sadly only for people that understand logic

since logic in oaklands gives you more freedom than other lt2 inspired games

[spiral inlet]

I think it's also partially an issue where there are barely that many actual moving components

But I've managed to figure out a build that still takes advantage of what is in the game

[spiral inlet]

I like this one since it requires a fundamentally different skillset then the usual one

And makes a different type of build overall

[mortal spade]

yeah it's interesting

and i have a nice idea that i wanna try, im waiting for finals to be over before i start

[north condor]

only 11 days left

[idle vortex]

Oh dam

I did nothing

[tired furnace]

I was actually happy about this competetion because for once it's not pure building so just cramming unnecessarily high detail into a build because you have all the free time in the world ain't gonna work.

This theme forces people to think outside the box and make use of the tools that they get to make something cool. It comes down to how creative you are, not how much free time you can sink into working on minute details.

[spiral inlet]

I can back this up completely

I am spending tens of hours on my build and it's more finding what you CAN and CANNOT do with the limited selection

oh yeah, and a metric boat load of wiring

[idle vortex]

Is it just me, or does almost no one send photos of their buildings here?

[spiral inlet]

It's a very different competition, I'm guessing that most people hide their builds so no one can steal the idea and try to improve it over them

[idle vortex]

Unlike the other competitions

[tired furnace]

I would send a photo of my build if it was in a showable state. I've kinda just been too busy to work on it for the past week cause i have exams coming up

[idle vortex]

Kinda interesting

[tired furnace]

I actually might even have to give up because of that, studying takes priority over this

[idle vortex]

Everything I did is..... uh...

[tired furnace]

or at the very least i might have to downscale my build

[tired furnace]

I mean, that's already good

[idle vortex]

Oh thank you!

Because I have no idea what to add

[spiral inlet]

as someone who has 132 water melons for some reason I approve this post

[idle vortex]

..... why....

[tired furnace]

you don't have to take this advice, but i think you should add some backdrop to this, like miniature mountains (fake perspective distance)

[idle vortex]

You're right

[spiral inlet]

Never know when you'll need 132 watermelons

unless they add farming

[idle vortex]

I need that

And actual watermelons

[granite moth]

i havent finished wiring it yet and the actual build is still in the foundation stage :p

[north condor]

most people keep it secret

[upper rapids]

ive done nothing

[spiral inlet]

out of curiosity how many people normally partake in competitions

[north condor]

depends ive seen some with 30+ but this one is a bit niche so prob less

[tepid lichen]

I'm fine with less since it's community voting

makes easier to vote

And I don't have to eliminate as many

[idle vortex]

Pls don't eliminate me

[tepid lichen]

As long as the quality isn't way below everyone else it'll be fine

I'm only eliminating low effort and stuff that doesn't follow the theme / rules

[idle vortex]

Do you like my watermelon tycoon???? 🍉🍉🍉

[tepid lichen]

yus

[idle vortex]

Yay

[unreal umbra]

@tepid lichen are videos allowed to be sped up

[tepid lichen]

mm

What's the purpose

actually idc

yea

[upper rapids]

what happens if someone puts a trillion povs in 1 video

[tepid lichen]

I'm just gonna say any video editing is fine as long as it's not like VFX / adding visual stuff on top

[tepid lichen]

I forgot who I said no adding audio to

I take that back

[north condor]

[tepid lichen]

was it u

[north condor]

yeah

[unreal umbra]

It’s for pedestal spin

To speed the spins up

In video

I just got my idea for the comp

How manny days 10?

[north condor]

11

[unreal umbra]

I think o can do it

Ima need to lock 🔐 in

[north condor]

too bad i made the display for my 3d renderer before the comp lol

[upper rapids]

forgot to ask if things like traffic lights count as movement lol

[north condor]

if its just flashing light i doubt it

but it can be part of your build

[upper rapids]

lol

[tepid lichen]

What kree said

[upper rapids]

I cant even use the traffic light anymore anyways cause the main part of the build takes up the whole 30 seconds

[unreal umbra]

https://youtu.be/9wHQToB3oYE

ima start its a late start on the comp

[spiral inlet]

I am now making a bunch confetti wires, this is fun.

[north condor]

confetti?

[spiral inlet]

using a bunch of colors so I don't confuse myself

[north condor]

ohh

[spiral inlet]

annnd I messed up 1 thing so now I gotta check every single line

great...

[north condor]

can't be that bad lol

[spiral inlet]

I have 32 separate places where the mistake is

and I have to individually check each one

[north condor]

😭

[spiral inlet]

okay I just wired one thing to the wrong output

[spiral inlet]

"Press F to close the menu"

[fickle gorge]

After many thoughts and consideration I am once again going to scrap my idea

I have a better one (I swear this will be the last time😭)

[fickle gorge]

B A L L

[unreal umbra]

small bit

[unreal umbra]

@tepid lichen if im using a dirt decal for dirt on a wall is that ok

[tepid lichen]

why wouldnt it be

[unreal umbra]

just asking

i saw a long time ago you said stuff needs to be new images

[tepid lichen]

wut

i dont remember saying that

[unreal umbra]

@tepid lichen

[proud meteor]

is that a carwash 😭

[north condor]

vegan car wash

[proud meteor]

i prefer my carwashes with meat only 🥩 😋

[unreal umbra]

Yes

Is that not where a lot of motion is

All the moving arms the soap

And air blowers

Car moves along auto

It’s a lot of moving stuff

[proud meteor]

sounds cool

[upper rapids]

i think that was just someone who randomly reacted to my message

[tepid lichen]

nice

[cunning whale]

How do i make moving parts?

[cunning whale]

Uhh, by some reason when i open some roblox games including oaklands my pc just turns off

Anyways idk why
My pc is just from 2013 like not so old

Specially games with a large map like fisch, oaklands and other games

Maybe i join next comp

[coarse mica]

https://tenor.com/view/retrowave-tech-windows98-computer-gif-15152969

[upper rapids]

No errors?

[worn pebble]

my animated tamagotchi with a working hunger bar! she also sleeps!

when she wakes up, she says good morning! when she goes to sleep, she says good night. whenever you feed her, she thanks you, and whenever you say hi, she makes a heart because you know her name!

sleepy oko

[cunning hollow]

this is absolutly adorable and i love it

[worn pebble]

yippeeeeeeeee

[cunning whale]

No its overheating

But it should turn off at 100°C not before

Actually i yhink its not

It started to turn off when i updated it

Probably these updates that are just to destroy the pc

Actually i can join oaklands but my pc turns off after some seconds

Not exactly when i open

I will try joining a solo server later to see if it works

[spiral inlet]

dear me all this logic put together looks so stupid XD

[upper rapids]

revert the update

and pause updates

works for me

[unreal umbra]

https://youtu.be/239AuPgyvSw

[proud meteor]

ip grabber dune not click this 😂 (/j)

[spiral inlet]

I'm genuinely surprised I am still able to fit all this so far...
-# Who cares about cable management anyway

[north condor]

what's that for?

[spiral inlet]

[the competition]

[north condor]

breh

i meant what does it do

[spiral inlet]

secret\

[north condor]

ok

[spiral inlet]

I just love posting the stupidly complex logic

[north condor]

it's fineeee

[spiral inlet]

-# I am going to have a hell of a day if I cut even one wrong wire

[unreal umbra]

https://youtu.be/I18CF2L6tow building again bc i wanted to today lol

[unreal umbra]

just a test

not final version at all

test of what it will be

no cuts in video

just sped up

[charred cosmos]

cool but where the logice i mean i think you want more logice i think

[proud meteor]

you dont necessarily need logic, just movement

[charred cosmos]

idk but i think xd :{

[unreal umbra]

It’s a test atm

At the moment

I want to make the stuff automatic

On off stuff for soap

[charred cosmos]

85 % 100 is done

[proud meteor]

what is that

[spiral inlet]

My best guess is the computational system needed for some kind of pet(?)

[charred cosmos]

quoridor game

[spiral inlet]

saw someone posting about one

o

[proud meteor]

cool

[charred cosmos]

yaa but stell soo cool

[charred cosmos]

thx :}

[charred cosmos]

for what ?

[spiral inlet]

some animated companion thing here

[charred cosmos]

haa ?

wdym ?

[spiral inlet]

nevermind

[charred cosmos]

alr

[spiral inlet]

Anyway, the neatness of this is impressive

I didn't really bother trying to make mine neat since it's just too compact

[charred cosmos]

ty :}

[unreal umbra]

I think Jak approved mine

I think

@tepid lichen Ik it’s late I’m supposed to be asleep and you probably are also just wondering if what I built is allowed

[spiral inlet]

I've lost count of the amount of interactors I've placed so far

at least 128

[charred cosmos]

realy idk i jsut think and good nigh :}

[proud meteor]

😭

[charred cosmos]

what is this ?

[spiral inlet]

140 so far

[spiral inlet]

The wiring for my... "New Refinery"

[charred cosmos]

you make parking ? sorry but i stell cant get it

[spiral inlet]

A "Motion" logic build, to replace my previous refinery (the game's refinery) building

[charred cosmos]

ohh ok but what is this game ?

if you want to say

[spiral inlet]

i'm talking about oaklands

it's a build to go over the industrial refinery

something like this

[this is not the build I'm doing for the comp, this is just a visual example of what I'm talking about]

[charred cosmos]

ohhhhhh ok get it soo cool nice

sorry but my English stell bad xd

[spiral inlet]

I'm basically done with this part now, it's fully functional and somehow has plenty of extra logic space to spare

[tepid lichen]

Yea that's cool

[upper rapids]

sneak peak of what i might be making

[north condor]

here's my whole project

[upper rapids]

lol

i can give a better sneak peek

1 sec

there

rate the city home walls out of 10

[tepid lichen]

https://discord.com/channels/865737627712749579/1373412904384331931 submissions are open

[spiral inlet]

Dang, I better hurry up if I want the 2nd part of my build done in time lol

My main build is done but I wanted to make a 2nd part to go along with

[cunning hollow]

first recording attempt, seeing if my setting are correct before sending

and that looks horible

[unreal umbra]

It’s a still video

Not moving for me at least

[cunning hollow]

hold on this is a better attempt i hope

[unreal umbra]

I hear stuff

[cunning hollow]

..........

[unreal umbra]

Might be my phone

[cunning hollow]

nope its not working for me withir (on on laptop bty)

[cunning hollow]

do you know what file type im suposed to be recording with?

[unreal umbra]

Mp4

[cunning hollow]

wich

[unreal umbra]

I don’t know

[cunning hollow]

mpeg-4, hybrid mp4, or fragmented mp4

[unreal umbra]

I use different stuff

[cunning hollow]

@tepid lichen dose this file work for you? its not playing for me in my browser but if i open the file it dose

[tepid lichen]

Its playing on mobile

What is it

[cunning hollow]

not for CEO

[cunning hollow]

my submision?

[tepid lichen]

If it's MP4 shud be fine

no the file type

[cunning hollow]

it is but its not working

[tepid lichen]

idk

[cunning hollow]

obs says its a fragmented mp4 so idk

[tepid lichen]

I'm gonna put them all in a single yt video too so if there's problems with discord player it will be fine

[cunning hollow]

oh ok

[tepid lichen]

whatever you did is fine

[cunning hollow]

alright well the quality is good but this recording wont work cause the key glitched

[spiral inlet]

Yeah there's a bug on discord where videos just don't play correctly and it seems to be platform dependent

Not sure why they haven't fixed it yet

It's been like this for MONTHS

[cunning hollow]

3rd attempt

still not playing for me but the file itself looks good so ima send it in

[spiral inlet]

huh???/

[cunning hollow]

i got that to

hold on

[spiral inlet]

what format are you exporting in?

and what are you recording with

[spiral inlet]

Nah I can't even get it to play by downloading it

windows wants you to buy some random suspicious garbage

[cunning hollow]

this was a ultra low but when i changed it to high it worked

for recording at least

[spiral inlet]

change your settings to this

and then try the video again

I think HVEC is not usable by most PCs

(why does OBS even have something people can't even freaking run)

[worn pebble]

Oko the lad

dang im stubid, hold on

[cunning hollow]

fixed it

[tepid lichen]

thx

[twin matrix]

i am allowed to use singleplayer to build this correct

[spiral inlet]

Yes

[twin matrix]

ty

[twin matrix]

would a rube goldberg machine be acceptable?

[tepid lichen]

Yea

[twin matrix]

awsome

im thinking of makeing one thats able to fully automatically reset its self afterward

[unreal umbra]

@tepid lichen might want to remove reaction permission or reactions rn in submissions
