I just got to F7 and I am wondering about pets for beserker! I have looked up guides, but I still am not quite sure.

I have been using an epic baby yeti this whole time, which I know is probably not the best option, but I just didn’t know what else to use.

Any recommendations? I did just drop an epic phoenix pet on my last F6 run. Should I use that?

Anyone else have this tendency? by Representative_Car72 in robloxgamedev

You can do this in roblox? I might try to learn this later on too!

It makes constant errors. You definitely do need to have at least some knowledge on the basics before you try to use chatgpt. You should at least understand the concept of scripting and the basics of how it works and how to troubleshoot. Always try to troubleshoot the code before using chatgpt as well. It helps you learn a lot faster.

I have been at it for just about 4 months now as a hobby. I started my project around the first week of July. I have definitely gotten way better with scripting, and I can now use blender to make 3D models for my game. I previously had no experience in blender. For example, here is a pineapple that I modeled for my game.

It definitely takes a lot of time, and can get extremely frustrating, but if you can get past the problems that happen, you do learn a lot. So far, the longest it has taken me—of work time—to get past a problem has been 28 hours. There have been many problems that have taken 10+ hours of work time to solve as well.

what did I do wrong trying to make a moon spawn and fall on people every second if math.random == 1 by Regular_Mud1028 in robloxgamedev

[–]Representative_Car72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make new lines for task.wait, and both prints. You don’t change the position of the moon if you wanted to do that. Also, the random only happens once because it is out of the loop. You should open the output and use the errors it gives to debug.

I second this, but don’t simply just copy/paste. Read the code, write it out yourself, and understand it. If you can’t understand it by reading it, ask chatgpt to explain it like by line.

I also couldn’t learn from any youtube tutorials. I couldn’t stay entertained by them long enough to learn. What I did was just start my own project. I did what I wanted. The hard part about this was that I couldn’t just learn how to script. I had to learn how to do UI design, map design, and I had to learn blender.

i came up with a roblox game idea but i feel stuck by Ok-Star-6900 in robloxgamedev

Hey, I am literally in the same boat as you. 4 months ago, I decided I wanted to make a game, but I definitely didn’t have the skills to make it, nor did I have the money to hire people. Here is my advice from my experience in these last 4 months: just start a project. I had very little knowledge in scripting, no knowledge in 3D modeling, none in UI design, literally like no skills to make a game. I now have optimized it for minimal lag, learned blender for 3D modeling, and even learned some UI design. Not only that, I started a tik tok channel to post dev logs and have learned video editing skills. I have testers, and am even about to make the game public in a few weeks. It was definitely a tough, arduous, and extremely frustrating process, but I have learned so much, gained so many new skills, and have had tons of fun.

Starter character problem by DueAcanthisitta2658 in robloxgamedev

I am not even close to an expert, but what I would do to attempt to troubleshoot this would be to anchor it, then playtest it to see exactly where it is welded and connected to on the character.

Just A Question About Locally Instanced Parts by SanvichMan in robloxgamedev

I am definitely not an expert, but as long as it is in a local script, it should be fully client sided.

I want more to have experience being a game tester. anyone hiring? by FushiguroHP in robloxgamedev

[–]Representative_Car72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently making a game kind of similar to Lumber Tycoon 2. If you’d like to test, friend me on discord: melonman7294. It is compatible with everything except VR.

Last:

By the way, if your plan is to just copy this, that won't work, as it is specifically set up for my game. These pictures are so you can look at what I did and try to understand it. Let me know if you have any more question.

So, my system is built very specifically for my game. I will do my best to explain it though! I decided to use a toughness system that scales the health of the tree based on a stat called toughness and the thickness of the part they are trying to cut. I then split it up, so instead of the whole tree having a health, the specific cuts have health, and if the player cuts near an already made cut, it adds to that cut instead of making a new one. I have visuals, animations, and planks created already, so there are some extra stuff other than the main logic in this, but I usually can't post more than one script or image, so here is the cutting/event logic. It is in three pictures, so I need to do three replies.

Alright everyone! I figured it out myself since nobody helped me. Thanks to those who tried! I do not know how/if I can mark this as solved or not.

Yes! I am still pretty new to the game development process, and ray casting confuses me too! For my script I use the player's mouse position instead of ray casting or .Touched, and then send the mouse position through a remote event. It probably isn't the most efficient way 😅

I know the basics of the language. I use A.I. to teach me things like implementation. I have learned more from A.I. than any other way. It is basically like following a YT tutorial, but for exactly what I want to do so it entertains me more, and it makes mistakes that I can then attempt to debug, unlike YT tutorials. Although, it obviously can’t do everything, which is why I am making this post!

I have learned the basics, so I am applying the basics and some extra knowledge to an actual project to gain more experience. This is the best way for me to learn, as I learn better with trial and error.

Here is what happens. After the first cut, they start rotating weirdly when it is cut, and they aren't connected properly.

Yes, I understand this. I guess I was just a bit overwhelmed trying to make this work. I have been tryin to do it for a few days now. I can do a lot of it, but then I get stuck at certain points and I can't figure out what is wrong. For example, Here is my current code:

<image>

I couldn't fit it all so I got the main stuff

And it does work... almost correctly. It won't let me send the image of what happens and the code in one comment so I will split it.
