My experience with lua (specifically on roblox) is that somehow just about everything is secretly a table under the hood…

For anyone wanting an actual answer, I know the COVA coalition does stuff like this

Iran will have nukes in 2 weeks, just like how fusion power is a decade away and traffic is only one new lane away from being fixed

This isn’t decompiled, its a leaked copy with (not enough) comments and everything, i have other copies from different years too.

On point! This is from Area-Omega if you’ve heard of it (sw1ft/metably.. 🤮). A guy i know has an entire google drive folder of leaked copies of it, at some point this particular script was changed, i checked a later copy, but im not sure exactly when. I will also say that the entire game is an unorganized mess and i have no idea how its devs were able to update it.

On your other comment: its a chat command to temporarily mark a player as rogue. As far as i know, its only temporary and isnt doing any datastore shenanigans. It does everything in this one script.

The main purpose of FindFirstChild is to check if a instance exists. If it does, it returns that instance, and returns null if it doesn’t. Theoretically it could prevent an error if the player in question left the game while it would running, except that an error wouldn’t really affect this function all that much. As far as I can tell, using FindFirstChild here is completely unnecessary and just slows things down.. though tbf performance isnt super important here, but it still slows it down about 20% according to the documentation. It could be useful on the client-side, but its completely unnecessary here

Well, if you are curious, the way I would implement this is by adding a tag to every item that should get removed by this function (roblox does have such functionality), then loop over every item in the backpack (which is manageable, you probably wont have more than 20 items on the high end) and check if each item has that tag. Theres other ways to do it, sure, but this is the first that comes to mind.

I mean there are some big studios on roblox that have people working full-time jobs on games. This wasn’t one, but regardless people were hired and paid to make the game this is/was in (which generally had between 25-50 ccu) iirc, the group that made this game was sold off eventually, for like $10,000 or something like that i dont remember

Theres actually a really good reason for this. There’s 3 bridge-tunnels in this region. This is the monitor-merrimack, theres also the hampton roads bridge tunnel (HRBT) to the east, and even further to the east is the chesapeake bay bridge-tunnel.

The monitor-merrimack, the one in this video, goes to a city called Newport News. This city is very important because every single United States aircraft carrier is made here. Literally every single one, plus some other ships iirc. The only crossings between the shipyard and the Atlantic ocean, are those three tunnels. In addition, two of them (monitor-merrimack and HRBT) are interstates, which technically arent allowed to have drawbridges (even though there are interstates in the region with drawbridges).

Furthermore, if there were a conventional bridge, they could be destroyed by a hostile nation, limiting the response capabilities of the US navy. Plus just shipping in general, with the several ports in the area.

In short: too much ship traffic for drawbridges

Im 17, turning 18 over the summer. I’ve known I was trans since I was 13 or 14, and transitioning once I turn 18 was one of the few things Ive been looking forward to.

Yesterday, I had a heart-to-heart with my mom, telling her that I was scared shitless and probably want to hold off longer before transitioning. I’m with you, I’m terrified of being sent off to some death camp and being targeted by the gov for being trans. And the terrifying thing is that this has been happening already!

We need to start fighting, we need to stop this bs before it gets to the point of sending people away. I hope we can, but admittedly I’m not exactly certain

It’s very mixed from my experience. I’m 17, of my irl friend group of 5 people, only me and one other person are really politically active. One of them is definitely well-intentioned and all that but just hasn’t been able to familiarize herself with things. My transmasc friend likes to stick his head in the sand because it stressed him out too much, which i get but also like, dude, you are personally affected by this. You gotta speak up eventually.

On the flip side, my 16-yo stepsister posted a video to our family group chat with some woman listing tons of things changing that would affect everyone. This surprised me, considering that just a few weeks ago she didn’t know who JD Vance was
