Bye-bye Raycasting! There's a new kid on the block...

yeah i agree, same with footplanting

What does custom movement have to do with shape casting new to raycasting

foot planting checks are needed for procedural foot placement, its a complex topic@@otterryy

How?

Not yet tho they havent added margins so you cant do that

hmmm

@@KupuEIIIKa69 Yea, it's a real thinker :P

as you said, it is probably as expensive as an unanchored parts collision detection so my guess is, if it’s only being done like 10-20 times per frame for like ik movement, it should be fine, although in that case you would probably use sphere casts and those are cheaper than shape casts. Idk what shape casts would be good for except for maybe vehicle movement and some cone shaped detection.

@@galacticdragon9841 Yea, now that you mention doing a shape cast with somthing like a cone. It makes me wonder how that would work. If you took a cone mesh, and then shape casted it in the direction the cone is pointing. Would the hit point depend on the shape. So like, because of the cone's slant, it would hit the side of the cone rather than the tip. It's hard to describe without a visual, but hopefully you know what I mean.

Really? Maybe they haven't added functionality for it yet. You can use Spherecast and Blockcast in parallel though!

yeah that was just for the title 😏

continuous collision detection is what comes to mind for me

you shapecast a cone mesh?

Wh

Yes, I can add captions, though I will need to download the auto-generated captions in English and translate them into other languages as Udemy does not auto-translate, so that may take some time.

It should be if you use the code NEW_YEAR

This code only gives a 30% discount, and less than 24 hours ago it was 85% off, with this price I can opt for another course that offers the same quality but has a bigger discount, I really wanted to buy your courses that I was waiting for days, I'm sorry

​@@s1lva442 My course isn't enrolled in what they call their "Deals Program". In fact, if my course was "85% off", it would be 7 dollars. Udemy does not price courses that low, I think you might've been looking at a different course. Almost every other week Udemy keeps marketing their "sales" which is literally just taking courses in the program and plunging their price down to around 10-16 dollars, and Udemy still takes a 63% cut from that. If you wanna buy those other ones, go ahead! I don't control your money and you don't need to apologize. Maybe I should also migrate to Teachable 🤔

The course was €12, but I think I'll buy the course anyway, but not now

@@s1lva442 "The course was €12" My course was €12? I'm not sure how that would be possible since I'm not enrolled in their 'deals' program.

use the result.Normal i believe

very nice indeed

"inability to get the normal of the collisions part below to rotate the part to match it." The shape casting functions return a RaycastResult, which includes the normal of the face that was collided with.

This. Rays for massive performance, shapes for accuracy. Spherecasts should be nice as a separate cathegory inbetween, since, there should be nice optimized math solutions for this. Sphere moved across the line is a capsule.

No, I don't teach Blender modeling, as many great courses on Udemy or even thousands of free videos on RU-vid will teach you everything you need to learn about Blender. I am no Blender expert, so it's best to leave that to the professionals! My course focuses completely on scripting. 3D modeling is a whole other ball game.

So your course only teaches the lua language, it doesn't teach the rest about Roblox Studios other than programming?

@@s1lva442 Not 'only lua', but we learn the Luau programming language, how to use Studio, & the Roblox API, which is everything you need to start creating games. We take a look at many services within the Roblox API, data types, instances, etc. If you want to learn about 3D modeling, there are many other great courses that specialize in that field. My course is geared towards everything scripting & Roblox API-related.

Doesn't it teach anyone how to animate?

@@s1lva442 Yes, it'll take a look at how to use the built-in Roblox animation editor and also how to implement animations in scripts.

😸

You can use it in conjunction with Parallel Luau just like normal Raycasts to improve frame times if you need to use it more frequently! (though, yes, it is more expensive than regular raycasting)

I ensure to explain the code I am writing so you understand what is happening without just copying mindlessly. My goal isn't to get you trapped in tutorial hell, but instead, to give you a skillset you can use to make games. Virtually all other courses teach you how to make very basic and boring games like obbies, simulators, etc. However, we work on several projects together including two games that you can view in the course previews (that are NOT simulator or obby games). The best way I can describe how I explain the code is by literally just walking through the code and thinking logically about how the interpreter is going to execute the code. You'll also be able to join the private discord server, and if you ever need help with a concept, or you've run into a scripting issue, you can make a forum post in the discord and I'll be able to assist you as soon as possible. (always ask questions!) I'm not aware if other courses have communities within discord. You'll also have access to all the materials for the projects, all code used in the course, and additional resources like my cheat sheet to help you remember programming phrases and jargon. Anyways, that's just my little spiel, I recommend that you continue looking around and seeing what course or resources are the right fit for you. If you've decided on mine (thanks!), then you can use the code in the description for a discount!

@@crusherfire1 the fact u responded like this pushing me towards it ill think about it in the future when i get deeper in scripting. ive noticed while getting familiar with coding there are annoying gaps in my knowledge that shouldnt even exist which is y im considering a course. taking courses in college but the professor straight up tells us to copy and paste the code. will def consider this investment

and just from this video alone i noticed ur clear verbalization of whats going i gotta watch more videos

@@otterryy Also want to mention that the microphone I'm using in the course was my older one (just got this new one a couple weeks ago), so if that's a concern you can, of course, watch the free preview videos to see if that's going to be an issue for you (hopefully not lol)

@@crusherfire1 how come u didnt heart my comment

this takes raycastparams and functions like a raycast so theres more things u can do

Picking a game engine boils down to personal preference, ease of use, the learning curve involved, what you're looking to do, and whatnot

Can you publish and host a multiplayer game for thousands of players for free? Nope, but in Roblox you can.

maybe 🤔
