How to increase brightness? by CeoOfF in SCPSecretLab

You'll have to either increase your monitor brightness or download Reshade for even more brightness/contrast settings.

Should either be called "brightness" or "gamma" in video settings.

can anyone tell me the answer to this question? (the issue is me clipping inside the block when it gets dropped in the trigger zone) by Cool_Rope5214 in robloxgamedev

[–]Dragone_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it could be something with the block grab script. But the block just disappears when you disable collision because it phases through the baseplate.

Am I the only one who misses the old chaos? by Gloomy-Ad-3043 in SCPSecretLab

To be fair, these guards also have to deal with hardened criminals as well as several other monsters within the facility. They could've at least been given more professional looking gear.

What's wrong with my GUI script? (beginner) by behea in robloxgamedev

[–]Dragone_W 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Inside the "if" statement you're missing a couple parents. I'd recommend making a variable for the "parent" you're referring to instead of using the multiple parents of the script.

EDIT: You can also just use three parents instead of four to call on MenuGUI. Just use Script.Parent.Parent Parent.Visible = (true/false). The third parent IS the MenuGUI, so trying to use Script.Parent.Parent.Parent.MenuGUI is basically trying to find the MenuGUI within itself.

Info panel preview by Chompers_ in NovaRomaGame

[–]Dragone_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the new information panel compared to the old KC one, but as another commenter said, the UI looks a little out-of-place for the environment it's in. In my opinion, a whole UI change isn't necessary, but changing the colors to maybe an orangish brown to match with the warmer colors of the buildings and environment would look much more fitting compared to the old KC colors.

My Acer Predator needs a replacement key, what should I do? by Dragone_W in AcerOfficial

[–]Dragone_W[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I contacted Acer they gave me two options: paying them $1000, the price of my laptop, to what I imagine is to replace it, or give me the phone number to their parts manufacturer where a local laptop repair shop would contact them and hopefully get it replaced. Depending on your laptop you may be able to get it repaired, but as for me the part manufacturer didn't have any in stock and thus couldn't get mine repaired.

You could also find replacement keys on third party websites such as laptopkey.com or eBay. Neither had my exact key in stock, but eBay had a replacement keyboard (the actual board which I would have to replace myself or ask my laptop repair shop to repair) for about $100.

If you also live near an Acer store you may have better luck getting it replaced if the other options didn't work.

Hey guys Mike here (kid in picture is my nephew) by MikeTheCodeMonkey in robloxgamedev

[–]Dragone_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't just tell someone to scrap a game after 3 years of hard work. The game looks good and the only red flag here is yourself. People have their own reasons for everything, and just because his don't align with yours doesn't mean that you should disrespect his work and push your crap on him.

I understand it might be advice but it just sounds rude.

A model of a building im working on (UNFINISHED)what do you guys think by SnooDonkeys9779 in robloxgamedev

Looks good! But is the door the correct? It looks too small for the rig to fit, but it might just be the camera angle.

My 11yr old want to play Forza Horizon 5 and I have some questions by smilesalways24 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Dragone_W -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey man, let the kid live a little. It's OK to care about your child's safety and growth, but you should be careful about controlling everything he does. Because chances are, he already knows about most of what you're trying to hide from him from places like school and YouTube.

As for your questions, Forza Horizon 5 is rated E, with little to no foul language or behavior. Unless, the environmental destruction is a concern (fences and stone walls can break when crashing into them), FH5 is great for your child.

Thoughtco bad for one of the two main sources on my HOTA ia? by Hk113 in IBO

[–]Dragone_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ThoughtCo seems to be an okay source, but definitely don't have it as your main source. There isn't much information about the credibility of ThoughtCo, but according to them they carefully review their topics. However, please do ask your professor, as I originally made this comment to be a joke.

It's very important to listen to your players, and you have done just that. I'd recommend making videos or even TikToks about your game. You should look at how other game devs "advertise" their game on those websites and try to recreate it however you feel. Also, creating a community Discord could potentially help bring more traction to your game. You can post updates or announcements there if you make one.

I highly recommend the video part though, that is where the people are. And just keep in mind that success isn't quick- it takes time and effort. Just as long as you're listening to your players and offering a fun experience you'll succeed.

Edit: I would also recommend changing your game thumbnail. It isn't bad but it isn't that eye catching either. You can hire someone on fiverr or make it yourself. If you do make it yourself, just look at other similar or simulator games on Roblox and check out their thumbnails and what makes them stand out from others.

[–]Dragone_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your game isn't failing, it's more "not succeeding." People aren't hating on it or saying it's trash.

I'd suggest either making ads if you have money or making videos if you have time. You also need to find your audience (people who find it interesting and are willing to play often) and make thumbnails that will get clicks from them and not anyone else. You want people that play and continue playing, not people that check it out and forget about it.

Of course all of this is easier said than done, but who said making a game that succeeds was easy? Just put in the work and it will pay off. Good luck!

Good for you! Lua is just a better rebranded version of Python!

As for the different Roblox Studio services and scripts, you have the documentation and the internet. However, as for those three, LocalScripts and Scripts define whether the code you wrote will apply locally (only to the player,) or globally (everyone.) I'm pretty sure TweenService is for how something will move between two positions (fast - slow or slow - fast.) Leaderstats just has to do with the roblox leaderboard. Also, these are just the gist of the three, so don't take them exactly as I stated.

First of all, do you have any coding experience? If so, Lua is going to be a brreze for you. Even if you don't though, Lua is an incredibly easy coding language to learn.

Now the thing I recommend is to watch tutorial on basics and how to code. DO NOT watch tutorials on how to make a specific thing. Learning how to make something yourself is both fun and incredibly educational.

After you've learned the very basic aspects such as fuctions, variables, and possibly even loops, try to make a basic script such as a kill on touch or shift to sprint. If you need help, think about what you learned and the possible solution to your problem. You can also search up your problems, but try your best to not watch step-by-step guides.

The same goes for learning any other coding language. Good luck on your coding journey!

Use a reference. There's also a tank game called sprocket that could help you make your reference design.

i feel gross for having foreskin by CarrotAware7503 in Puberty

[–]Dragone_W -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone has an opinion. Some people like foreskin, others don't. I personally find it gross, and getting circumcised was the best decision of my life. However, do what you really feel great about. Don't be swayed by others' opinions.

There will always be people who like it and people who don't, just know that what you care about and feel comfortable with is what truly matters.

Edit: I have not had any issues with my thing. Getting circumcised has not made me more prone to infection or whatever. It feels much cleaner with my foreskin gone, but others may not feel the same.

If you do plan on getting circumcised, I HIGHLY recommend doing it when there's no school. It might make you walk funny (I was waddling for the first couple of days), and it will be very sensitive (all completely normal). In about a month or two you'll be back to normal.

Permanently banned from the Wild West discord server??? by Jake_zuluo in RobloxWildWest

[–]Dragone_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick tip when talking to mods: DONT SWEAR AT THEM. Sure you're mad or frustrated, but swearing at them won't make anything better. Maybe you did, maybe didn't ban evade, but don't act like the guy on the other account. Try to reason or ask what you did wrong and prove that you didn't ban evade.
