Hello I’m DeathToTheStadium , and i Made a simple
Donation Board Using Roblox’s Roact Library
WHY DID I MAKE IT?
Well i was just starting to learn the Roblox’s Roact framework so i needed a fun project so I looked in the tool box looking for something to remake & well by Chance i decided to Search for a Donation board & Moreover
when you search the Key Phrase Donation Board you will find that the model has been botted to Oblivion & we can all obviously deduce that more than likely they have backdoors so i decided to make a simple donation board
HOW DO YOU USE IT ?
its fairly easy to set up Just make sure you
enable Roblox’s Api Services so the internal Datastore can Do its setup
after that lets start the Simple setup process
P.S.(Here is the Structure of the Chest)
Product Setup
Make your products
Setting your products in the Module
Make your products
Setting your products in the Module
Then once you’ve Made your Products Go to the Module
and Go to (Code → DataHandler - > App - > Products)
Once there open up the Module and follow the gif
Great job @DeathToTheStadium! Setup is very easy, and I’m proud you’re putting this out there! Finally, something which can possibly compete with Roblox’s standard open source donation board which I’m sure we all know of.
Also, I was wondering if you’d be able to make an option to (because yes im that picky) customize the transparency for the background and text/background/scroll bar outlines, as well as the ability to customize the cyan coloured text/bar? If not, it’s still very cool!
Pretty cool resource, contains a lot and the theme module is a nice touch, something a lot of resources on this forum don’t have. I skimmed through the code, and one thing I will say is that the method of DataStores used is pretty inefficient. I recommend making one datastore and storing a table, then caching it once called. This way, you can save up on requests and not overflow with the limits.
@DiscombobulatedJack Thank you, for the great Feedback ill be sure to implement some of your ideas it actually wouldn’t be too hard Roact makes it easy for me to manage UI Data
@IronRobotStudios I agree I actually didn’t like the way I had to set up the Ordered Data store, I really wanted to make sure that when it spat data out it came out in a nice order but definitely will take a look at some new methods for coding the data store if you have any interesting feedback i would greatly apreciate it
I agree with your views that it should be easier to customize those two.
I did however find the color values for them in Code.Datahandler.App.RoactComponents.Frames.
You can find them on line 67 and 161 if you’d like to change them.
This is really cool! One suggestion that I have is to change the ui up a bit, perhaps make it more clean. Other then that, I will definitely be using these boards in the future!
Hey Today I implemented the Theme Color Fix and I added one more option to change the color for the underline
ill be working towards updating the Data store model improving the readability of the roact tree
Much agree! Here are some images as requested by @DeathToTheStadium of my game showcasing it, the benefits to simply just having it laying around in game are endless. Really serves as a competitor to our standard donation board. Looking forward to more updates on this, and also your fix to the listed order of donators!
There is a bad bad bug with this, with the whole UI not existing, its just a blank chest… and it doesn’t say anywhere in the instructions that its supposed to be like that.
The user interface is generated when the game loads essentially it’s all loaded through code but duely noted ill be sure to make it more understandble to avoid confusion on how the ui loads
lets start the Simple setup process
