ElipsGames · May 6, 2024, 5:38pm

Before you read on i dont need help with a script i need an idea for a script to make! Hello im working on applying for a hiddendevs lua skill role but can think of any scripts to develop. Also if you have an accepted aplication and i could check out your script just to see what a propper level of “sofisticated” is… ik verry vauge. If you have any ideas let me know i need to to be easily over 200 lines of complicated code!

PS: Thanks for any help and if this is the wrong catagory let me know what the right one is.

A modulescript that implements complex numbers using metamethods?

E.g:

__add__
__sub__
etc...

Uhmmmm… Implementing Dijkstra’s algorithm in Roblox? Have a bunch of nodes and it’ll calculate a path. That said, you should use Kruskal’s and pre-calculate all the paths beforehand to minimise performance issues.

You don’t have to create something new, you just need to show off that you’re capable of doing something that is mildly skillful.

You could create a inventory system with features such as item stacking, sorting, filtering, and maybe even crafting mechanics this might handle data structures, user interfaces and so on, just use ur imagination

ive alr tried geting in with this but i get rejected

github.com

ElipsGames/Bowling-System/blob/main/Bowling System Main Script

local datastoreservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService") -- Gets Data Store Service
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService") -- Gets MarketPlaceService
local BallsStore = datastoreservice:GetDataStore("Balls.") -- Creates a data stpre
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) -- Detects When A Player Enters The Game
	Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(character) -- Detects When A Players Appearence Loads
		for i , v in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do -- Goes Through All Of The Players Character
			if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("UnionOperation") or v:IsA("MeshPart") then -- Checks If Its A Part That Casts Shadow
				v.CastShadow = false -- Disables Cast Shadow
			end -- This Statement Went Through All Of A Characters Desendence Casting Shadows And Disables All Their Shadows
		end -- This Statement Got All Of The Decendents Of The Player
	end) -- This Function Disables A Players Shadow
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder") -- Creates A Folder Named leaderstats 
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" -- Names The Folder leaderstats
	leaderstats.Parent = Player	-- Puts The Folder Inside The Player
	local BowledBalls = Instance.new("IntValue") -- Creates A Value Named Bowled Balls
	BowledBalls.Parent = leaderstats -- Sets The Values Parent To leaderstats
	BowledBalls.Name = "Bowled" -- names the value "Bowled"
	local Score = Instance.new("IntValue") -- Creates A Value Named Score
	Score.Parent = leaderstats -- Sets The Values Parent To leaderstats
	Score.Name = "Score" -- Names The Value Score

Holy spaghetti. No offense, but I see why you got rejected.

ElipsGames · May 6, 2024, 5:51pm

sounds cool and im not sure i have an imagination I did a test

ElipsGames · May 6, 2024, 5:52pm

yeah it got outa hand lol im not an amazing scripter
ive never realy learnt optimization and im self tought if there is somwhere you know or if you could help me learn that would be realy helpfull

SkrubDaNub · May 6, 2024, 5:53pm

brush up on your fundamentals a bit more before applying. please take a look at tables. I love lua because of how versatile they are - a list, array, OOP, they can be almost anything!

ElipsGames · May 6, 2024, 5:55pm

is there a tutorial type video system that teaches this?? ive been doing this solo and self taught… im trying to learn tho
whats wrong with this script?
local Char = script.Parent.Torso
local PFS = game:GetService(“PathfindingService”)
local Human = script.Parent:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)
local Path = PFS:CreatePath()
repeat
task.wait(0.1)
local AllParts = workspace.Food:GetChildren()
for i, IndividualPart in pairs(AllParts) do
–local Distance = (Char.Position - IndividualPart.Position).magnitude
local ClosestDistance = 2000
local ClosestPart = 2000
for i, IndividualPart in pairs(AllParts) do
local Distance = (Char.Position - IndividualPart.Position).magnitude
if Distance < ClosestDistance then
ClosestDistance = Distance
ClosestPart = IndividualPart
end
end
Path:ComputeAsync(Char.Position, ClosestPart.Position)
Human:MoveTo(ClosestPart.Position)
end
local MaxDistance = 100
local AllParts2 = workspace.Humans:GetChildren().Torso
until false

same here. Here’s a channel I discovered recently: https://www.youtube.com/@5uphi

Pretty good if I do say so myself. Avoids all the crap with poor practices that you usually find with roblox scripting tutorials.

ElipsGames · May 6, 2024, 5:59pm

i dont see anything in there that had list, array or oop

SkrubDaNub · May 6, 2024, 6:02pm

oh right. yeah that channel is more advanced tutorials. Take a look at this one specifically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk8UVm-gxBs
