The module, is currently not for sale. That means nobody except you can access the module.

Also,Make sure the Module is called MainModule before you upload it, it will not work.

Fixed that, thanks for telling me. The new id is 6155196906.

This will be great for my game called Mirrors for the transition effects on each level.

Why wouldn’t it work? I always put my modules as custom names?

#9

there’s a lot of repetitions in your code

why are you handling tweens on the server

overall cool module but there are things you should improve

Yea, this was thrown together in around 15 minutes so I didn’t really get to optimization or anything but I plan to add a vignette method with a darkness strength and fix the AllPlayers lag as well as the repetitive code.

Why would you post a resource that you “threw together in 15 minutes” to the forum? You should look to put your best work on here.

As long as it’s good quality and works properly, it’s worth putting on the forum. I never said my 15 minute work wasn’t my close-to-best work.

If you made it in 15 minutes, have tweens running on the server, and a ton of repetition in your scripts, it is not classed as “good quality” work.

I’d suggest spending more time on it, rather than rushing it.

Lol I wasn’t rushing it but you’re right there’s definitely improvements. Also, repetitive code is a bad practice but not exactly detrimental.

May I suggest an idea? A 20s filter like in arsenal where it looks like an old B&W film

Yeah, that’s a good idea! I’ll add it after I fix all the other minor problems.

It is detrimental. If you copy and paste code over and over again and you decide you want to rewrite that section again, or you want to modify what you wrote long ago to work differently for a variety of cases, I can guarantee that it will be detrimental; because I still do it. :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s not bad practice. It’s worst practice. I’d reckon that the ultimate goal of programming is to be “lazy.” If you’re making yourself do more work and neglecting the optimal way to decrease the workload, you’re doing something wrong. Please don’t try to worm your way around recommendations that are vital for your programming experience.

Also–this script should not be a server script. Effects that only the user can see should only be done by the user, and tweens especially should not be done on the server. Just my two cents.

As for my recommendation, I think it’d be neat if there was more depth/variance to the glitch effect. Currently, the glitch effect isn’t the “glitch” effect, it’s the “no signal” background that was used on older televisions. Maybe make it animated with boxes on the screen with lighting effects utilized as well. That would be a fantastic glitch effect.

Cheers.
