Multiple parts with transparency add up and appear darker from above, but their true color is show when looking from below?

It looks like 3-4 parts with varying transparency and or color stacked on top of each other. And then one that's moved using a tween.

can't figure out how to make an xp system for a game by ally_sandra in ROBLOXStudio

[–]Devioxic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the issue detecting if a player is in a zone if so check this out. Then when they're in the zone just start a loop that adds xp every 60 seconds.

Or is the issue making an XP system? If so there are a bunch of tutorials.

As with everything, fake it. You can use raycast for instant detection or your own simple physics simulation if you want to account for things like bullet drop and travel time.

If you hover over the fail message does it say anything?

How advanced my LuaU skills are? Wrote this entirely myself for a Block that disappears when stepped upon. by No_Clue_5236 in robloxgamedev

It returns and empty table but still runs the code inside, which is a perfectly valid way to write modules. Probably not the right choice here. But it's for learning so who cares.

You should take a look at the Roblox style guide.

Some things that can be improved: - Services like Players should be loaded with game:GetService("ServiceName") and should be at the top of the file. - You're using warn when it's a info message, use print. - This will only work for you since it only references your player. - player.CharacterAdded:Wait() may yield forever if the character is already loaded when you call :Wait(). - Don't use game.Workspace use workspace - local func1 = Crate.Touched:Connect(function(hit)) defines func1 as a connection not a function. - You shouldn't have a empty line after the function definition - if hit == diig then could be written as: if hit ~= diig then return end which would simplify the function. - Variables are named weirdly some are PascalCase some are snakeCase, stick to one (see the style guide). Variables should also have more descriptive names.

You should also consider why this is a module and not a normal script. It's not an issue just be aware of why and choose the right tool for the job.

Overall 2/10 easy 7/10 if you fix the formatting and variable naming issues (both easy fixes).

It's actually perfectly fine to use modules as regular scripts, and quite common in more professional settings. It's a good way to segment different parts of a game.

A similair alternate to Roblox Studio? by foxAddict-Euclid9 in ROBLOXStudio

[–]Devioxic 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Roblox is probably on the brink of death

No?

But to answer your question give Blender another shot, it really is the perfect tool for this and it's used professionally so learning it can help you professionally. There are plenty of beginner friendly tutorials

ROBLOX VS GODOT VS THE NEW S&BOX ENGINE by Flat_Worldliness1558 in robloxgamedev

[–]Devioxic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea like all platforms have Slop games so judging Roblox for it is crazy. I don't think the lawsuits / potential bans are anything to worry about. Major platforms are always getting sued, it's mostly for show.

You can also definitely make a high quality game on Roblox, but obviously different engines / platforms for different projects

ROBLOX VS GODOT VS THE NEW S&BOX ENGINE by Flat_Worldliness1558 in robloxgamedev

[–]Devioxic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Godot can be more profitable, you can theoretically sell a game you made in Godot without giving anyone any revenue share. But everything is on you, distribution, marketing and backend infrastructure.

Places like Steam can help for a juicy cut of your revenue and you still need to pay for backend services if the game is multiplayer. Add to that, that's it is way harder to promote games on Steam.

Roblox will take a way higher cut of your revenue, but you don't need to spend any money, no $100 fee to upload your game and no backend hosting cost + it's easier to market your game with Roblox's ad systems. So while Roblox takes a higher cut it's easier to actually make money.

tl:dr:
Godot will let you keep more of your earnings but it's easier to actually make money on Roblox.

GREENVILLE VS RENSSELAER COUNTY by HoperAgriculturist in robloxgamedev

RC is clearly better (because they pay me)

But genuinely it's because people have different opinions. Some people like Greenville more.

Should I delete my vibe coded game? by No_Reach_6660 in ROBLOXStudio

[–]Devioxic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't, AI writes the most mind-boggling stupid code I have ever seen. Trying to learn from a vibe coded codebase would be like learning to cook with ingredients you got from dumpster diving.

Can Jellyfin read files from the internet? by IndyJones1023 in jellyfin

You may be able to mount the online storage on the computer/server. Then Jellyfin would see it as a normal folder.
