Stop Repeating Yourself! Improve Your Code with Collection Service 

Outside the loop or in?

Generally anywhere, you shouldn't use global unless you have to reference it in another script for some reason

@@coreydorce8246module scripts negate that

I found you here too?! Cool

oh hey ph4ntomize

Oh hey

dear sweet jesus you're alive

It makes it easier with the world view

Thank you!

​@@GnomeCodecan you show how to use messaging service i want to make global shop stock, and wonder how it works. Hope you will help

I agree! It would be so cool to learn how to make one!

There can be grammar mistakes so I hope you know how to fix my grammar (Put the Tween:Play() somewhere in a function like Script.Parent.ProximityPromt.Triggered:Connect(function() Tween:Play() end)

same

This works well until you want to organise your folder structure differently. What if your doors are inside a building? You would probably want them to be inside the folder/model for that building rather than in their own separate doors folder. CollectionService allows you to easily access all the tagged elements rather than relying on a specific folder layout.

@@GnomeCode ooo good point imma start using this

I was doing this too but now that I know this exists I will be using collection service

These give you the building blocks / tools to make games!

These tutorials provide the building blocks for a game. You're the one who makes the game! Use these as steps if you need to. Hopefully you can create yourself a fun game!

it basically gets every instance (doesn't matter if they are in the ServerStorage, ReplicatedStorage, Workspace, etc) with the tag you are looking for. For example, it's very good if you want to handle AI's because you dont need a single script inside every npc or every npc inside a single folder

It makes more sense to have your scripts either in server script or player scripts. They should never be in a model. It keeps things organized and maintains a good workflow

@@miles1094 So how about NPCs? Do i have to use OOP or even use for loops to make something like a enemy NPC that shoots you with a weapon? I can understand AI navigation, but what about aiming, shooting weapon, and all that misc stuff? 99% of NPCs with weapons i came across in toolbox have their scripts inside the model, and yeah sure non roblox NPCs are handled differently like they have seperate classes for them, like behavior, weapon handling, etc but this is roblox

​@@chibisayori20I use CollectionService and ModuleScripts for my AI's, and when I did a stress test with 30 of them i mostly get 45-50 fps and my PC is pretty much a low-end pc. And when all my AI's had separate scripts it made me get 20-30 fps.

​@@chibisayori20Plus my AI's can actually attack

@@chibisayori20 That doesn't mean theyre good 99% of those npcs are outdated and not very optimized Now you could have scripts in your npcs and still have them optimized, but generally itd just be better to have one script manage multiple npcs instead of multiple scripts managing their respective npcs Aiming, shooting, etc, just use modulescripts brah

If the door should be open or not, if it should, then it reacts a way, if it shouldn’t, then it react another way. Also, the last line just get the value of the attribute.

Its advanced scripting stuff and it seems like you dont understand it,but dont worry just practice more!And believe me studying better is better than studying more,so if you find scripting tutorials that you perfectly understand youre good to go!😊

It basically means the object that you put the script into, for example if you put a script into a part the script.Parent would be the part,and the script would be called the ‘Child’ of that part. If you are new to scripting and you think you are ready and smart you can always learn to script,as there are many tutorials out there on RU-vid! 😊

Roblox is pretty flawed

so he can infect his place with viruses

Because you told it to look at any model that has sliding door tag

Also "model" is a variable so you can change it to what ever you want like name it "door"

Sorry i thought you asking about the model that is in the for loop, in the parameter because you add the function movedoor to the for loop and told the script that you want it to work on the model and isopen using the parameter

He made teddy

I would create a separate folder with doors and use a for loop

That's actually what many games outside of Roblox do, they just have a door as an asset and when game is launched and the level loaded, it will spawn the door assets at their respective positions and have their logic setup by a class. Same goes for NPCs, interactables, player spawners and in-fact, Roblox's engine works same way since the basic parts and stuff like that are all handled by engine side, it just the logic/player stuff is handled on the Lua side. Tho setting up a system like that is kinda difficult, but i assume you can utilize the Package system they have to have all assets, scripts all placed in that package, so you only have to import it once, and all updates should affect every place that has your package.

@@chibisayori20 i alteady made a system that has a module that can acess an asset with a directory string, its pretty cool , ex: "Models/Door/Cool Door"

Use Cframes!

@@GnomeCode bro you actually responded, i didn’t expect it would happen, me and my friend know its in derelict but, a question is would you know how to make a local script which prob has multiple scripts or not, if you do know can you try to make a vid or reply to this comment with a script, not needed but if you can then can you do it?

@@GnomeCode also i have a question, im trying to make a horse but cant find any tutorials if you could make one i will be thankful

... bro lore is a story element in your game, u dont need scripting for lore, lore is story and you decide it, u dont need a tutoeial to make up a story

Animaton games?

Glad it helped!

@@Chaneb you can't have server overload if you intent your game to be played only in Studio 😉 jokes aside, alternative to this is just to put your model with script inside of a storage and Clone() it and parent it to a position you want it to be or use OOP but that's different thing.

you can apply collection service to more things than just doors with proximity prompts, like a group of items that are similar but only slightly different that you want to change

@@Chaneb bruv, you are barely looping over anything lol. U only check for matching names. There is no loop in this proposal of mine.

so you're saying now you can just do for i,v in something:GetChildren() do?

​@@insertusernamehere8125Yes

Use excluded instead.

but ıt still wont works
