Fr, they just say shit and avoid explaining it 💀

I have to tell you, as someone who has been on the platform for a very long time and already considers themselves an entirely competent developer, I still stand to gain something from EVERY one of your uploads. Your clarity is unmatched, you do not miss. You'll definitely be one of the resources I recommend to newer developers I meet going forward. Now, if you could upload a tutorial demonstrating use-cases for Actors and thread desyncs, you'd rlly make a difference in my understanding because I don't get how to implement it

update: after watching Infinite Scripter tutorial I think I have a much better conceptual grasp on the point of desynchronization

You are, quite possibly, the most in-depth and concise guide I've ever seen on this topic. Keep up the good work! Thanks for the help.

man i love your content, its explained so well that i think i could do this from memory. like i just watched this tutorial start to finish for entertainment. i love to watch your channel & you touch on the parts of roblox scripting that not many people touch on. thank you for the great tutorial, i loved it.

Sadly, there's not much of KZreadrs like you that explaining parts that not all developers need and doing it with such a quality. Keep up the good work! I bet you're helping many developers.

Ive been waiting for a tutorial like this for years. This is a video that answered a question ive had from the minute i stored my first data. And you explained everything that i was thinking in one single video perfectly. I wondered how games like build a boat saved data and to know the solution to the question ive had is so relieving. Thank you ❤

Thanks a lot! ive been looking for something like this for ages but couldnt find anything :D

Quite possibly one of the only people who actually know what they're talking about, most of professional developers avoid/don't want to create educational videos like these, your channel is a life saver for new people that want to become scripters, after watching your videos I actually understand and remember the infromation that was shown/explained in the video, and I can actually apply it somewhere.

This is useful I am planning to use it in a game so if you put your tool from the starter pack to the backpack or vice versa it saves

You can also compress building repetitions by saving only 2 opposite corners. (Example, you dug a 2x3x1000 tunnel, you just save the high-left-front corner position and the low-right-back position). Instead of saving 6000 dug positions, you just need to save 2 of them.

If you want you could fix this by storing if the number is negative or positive (or just use another "prefix" string). Then do "text = characters[value % base] .. text" instead of text coming first. Decoding it would be a little different, what I did was make --power = math.pow(base, value:len())-- power = math.pow(base, value:len() - (value:find("-") ~= nil and 1 or 0)) then replace "number += numbers[character] * power power *= base" to "power /= base number += numbers[character] * power" (This might be a little slower than the method in the video, but more readable when using Encode)

Hey, a little question about the plugin. So let's say i have my infinite terrain done, and i want to start adding stuff. (roads, models, meshes) For example, that video of the cruising drone. Will the terrain just act normally as if I'm just adding terrain without the plug-in? - What happened to the roads i placed, will the act the same way as the plugin? Will it spawn with the Terrain or just float because the terrain hasn't loaded? - Second question, can i start generating from a specific point to a specific length? (Like not infinite) - And third, can i make the terrain interact/spawn next to my originally placed terrain or will it just spawn/generate over my already placed terrain? Would appreciate the answers! Thanks for the read.

Each player generates the terrain around there camera so each player will have different parts of the world generated depending on where they go in the world and the server does not generate any terrain So if you have network steaming turned on then parts like roads will load in like the terrain so they will not be floating but if you don't have network streaming then all parts will load when the player first enters the game but you can use things like atmosphere to hide them If you don't want infinite terrain then just don't create the localscript and generate the terrain in studio and don't clear the terrain The plugin will not overwrite any terrain that's already in the world so if you make custom terrain the plugin will just generate terrain where ever there is air

@5uphi

2 жыл бұрын

Streaming enabled has no effect on the plugin because the terrain is 100% generated on the client side so no information is being sent from the server to the client to generate the terrain but streaming enabled does effect other things you add to your world like parts and meshes If you have streaming turned on then the server will only tell the clients about the parts once they walk within range where if you have it turned off the server will send all parts and meshes to the client as soon as they enter the game So the benefit of streaming is that if you have a very large world the server will not waste time sending all the parts of the game to the client but only if the client walk to that area

I am confused on how the equation works in 5:21 works. The length of 1000 parts * the amount of parts (1000), does not equal to 1 part's length. Shouldn't it be maxLength / (length / 1000)? - - local MaxParts = 4.000.000 / (length / #parts)

Let's say the datastore can store a max of 10 characters and each part uses 2 characters to save the position and let's say I have 3 parts so the length will be 2 * 3 = 6 So when we do 10 / 6 * 3 = 5 We get the value 5 showing that we can have 5 parts before we run out of characters

@@5uphi My issue is not that I don't understand the math but that the math seems wrong to me without the information I require to see the math correctly. Multiplying the length of 1000 parts with the total number of parts that are there, makes no sense, so the length variable doesn't equal to the 1000 part's encoded JS0N length but rather to one part's encoded JS0N length. What I don't understand is, why the predefined length variable does not equate to an estimate of 56, 000 characters when it was set to that but rather to a single part's character count. If I were to try to grasp how it works on my own, I would come up with the following reason: The variable length is equal to a function meaning it can go through change when called upon in a surrounding of altering elements such as arithmetic operations and when it's multiplied with a list it's logic is advanced enough to adjust to the list by understanding that it wants to set itself to what it's function is but for the individual part's sub-value from the list. I was told that scripts run from the first to the last line and the functions inside of it are just called once, unless they're conditional or called/required somewhere further down the script. Note: I am new to scripting and so I don't understand a lot of the things, considering I've never encountered such logic ever before. I'm here to try to understand topics precisely and what I refer to as complex, is probably just the easiest thing in the world for you which could mean that you leave things like that out because they're obvious to you. That's why it's so hard for me to understand stuff like that. It's hard to teach beginners something 'complex' in simple words because they keep on asking "why's that?, how does it work?, where else could I use it?" and 'skipping' over what you're trying to say, since the logic involved in the explanation is unfamiliar and disconnected to them.

Ok so lets continue with max = 10 length = 6 parts = 3 So 3 parts use a total of 6 characters to workout how much each part uses we do 6 / 3 = 2 so we can see that each part uses 2 characters Now we need to see how many 2s can fit in 10 10 / 2 = 5 So we can see that 2 can fit into 10 5 times So the formula is 10 / (6 / 3) = 5 Another way to write this is 10 / 1 * 3 / 6 = 5 Another way to write this is 1 * 10 / 6 * 3 = 5 Another way to write this is 10 / 6 * 3 = 5 Another way to write this is 10 * 3 / 6 = 5 So X/Y*Z is a simplified version of X/(Y/Z)

I'm not really sure what you mean by better it would be like asking if 5 * 2 is better then 2 * 5? 10 / 6 * 3 is a tiny bit faster then 10 / (6 / 3) but the difference is so small you don't need to worry about it so there is no such thing as better pick the one you like the best I come up with this by experimenting I never went to school so everything I learnt about math is by playing around with numbers for fun I personally dont like parentheses in my formulas so that's why I try to not use them when I don't have to but I'm crazy you don't have to copy me I think there is a rule for it but as I taught myself I don't know what the rule is called

Maybe some more things that might help you understand base for instance computers work with binary one's and zero's so that's base 2 because there are only 2 states a character can be in and you would count that like this 0, 1, 10. 11, 100, 101, 110, 111 if we are doing base 4 meaning there are 4 characters we can use to count (0, 1, 2, 3) are the 4 characters we will use then it would be 0, 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 20, 21
