@MaximumADHD @TheNexusAvenger Alright, thanks for responding, I wasn't aware of this being an issue.

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

@MaximumADHD @TheNexusAvenger Are you saying this specifically for "in t do" or also for "in pairs(t) do" like the snippet above. I guess I am just not understanding why, as the 5.1 docs seems to say "you may clear existing fields" (assuming this means t[key] = nil).

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

@TheNexusAvenger @MaximumADHD Any chance you can elaborate on this? The lua 5.1 docs seem to say you can modify existing fields.

@howmanysmaII @IdleBrick @JedDevs Doesn’t Luau have some type refinement now?

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

@NinjoOnline Try using a mix of offset and scale. You might find a happy medium.

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

@Elttob_ I agree with your sentiments towards operation overloading, but is a table with a metatable that has no metamethods and a closure style object really that different? Other than some 'syntax sugar'? (It seems metatables and redefining the functions have similar call performance.)

@EdenojackRBLX @MrChickenRocket Find the inputs for creating the replay? I don’t think using the inputs is a great option since the smallest of errors would cause completely different replays. But idk, I think doom used input for replays.

One more projectile type down. (Ignore my bad vfx and model, they are temporary.) #Roblox #RobloxDev

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

I want the projectile system to be very modular, to build more complex system on top of it. I want to support every type of projectile from btd6 (and more). I am kinda excited to see where this side project goes. 2/2

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

The projectile attempts predict where the enemy will be, but I chose a rather rudimentary method, so when the enemy runs towards the tower, it sometimes overshoots, causing it to miss. I have a way to solve this. 1/2 #Roblox #RobloxDev

@EdenojackRBLX @developer_noah How have I never seen BulkMoveTo? As for actors, not yet, but I will at some point.

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

The performance of the enemy movement is not bad, 2k enemies at 60fps on mid tier computer, in studio. #Roblox #RobloxDev

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

@jacob_shrider No idea. I only work on this in my free time. I will continue to post updates on twitter though.

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

All of the enemy movement is done on the client, meaning thousands of enemies can be moving and use about the same amount of data as one character moving. (The cubes are placeholders.😛) #Roblox #RobloxDev

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

@AckDevs A bit, I saw the trailer for rogue tower, but haven't played the game. Hopefully this will end up a little original.

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

@LetsDoThisGames When I started it, I wasn't sure what direction I wanted to go with it, But I decided it will probably be a tower defense with roguelike and deck builder elements (more of a loadout than a deck). Kinda just seeing where it goes.

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

Next is to show where it can and can't be placed at. #Roblox #RobloxDev

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

@peep_is_online I have been wanting to do something with wave function collapse, but haven’t yet.

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

Tree!?! Maybe I should add things like grass and rocks. #Roblox #RobloxDev

[Ocipa @OcipaRBLX]

@peep_is_online Neither, it uses each “chunk” as a cell in a maze, then generates a path to and from each chunk with A*, so each map is 100% random while being deterministic if the same seed is used.
