dev i dont know why mine is not working
nvm THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Didn't even notice you were TapWater lol, sorry.
@AustinGaming If you have a model named bob, with multiple blocks that make it. If one of the blocks is called jeff. then bob is the parent of jeff
Sorry dev it’s expired
surprised you didnt call the part hotdog lol
he's grown so much after 6months
Yes he forgot hotdogs and moved to hamburgers
Omg I just realized I made this comment lmao, I’m joshua h on my yt account
@@UnusefulGaming Yea ive heard people get from complete begginer to absolute legend in 6 months
Classic
These tutorials are the best ones I ever saw. So many knowledge gaps of mine have been eliminated. And it is such an honor to hear that heavenly "Oof" again.
i agree
God I still miss that sound
it still exists. *as a high pitched sound*@@frownyee
What have I learned so far:
DevKing REALLY likes hotdogs
The tutorials are epic
I am actually learning what I dreamed of learning when I was smaller
Hello have you learned lua now? not asking for a script or anything i just hope u learned lua cuz uts ur dream :D
I learned Lua but then stopped coding for like 2 years :(
@rabbitspaceagency704 Sorry for the late response lol, actually right now I am re watching the whole scripting series again because I was kind of inactive learning Lua for a few months, but right now I am back on track! It's a lot easier learning it now when you have watched the tutorials before. :D Thanks for asking
@@Vaflinisnice :D good luck!
@@Vaflinis damn
Start: ok guys it’s the dev king here back with a daily video
Little while ago: it’s the dev king sorry I was gone for like 4 days but I’m back and will never do that again
Now: *hello guys it’s the dev king here sorry I was gone for like 6 months I’m so sorry I’ll never do it again*

Lol
Stop complaining

Next time it's 5years lol
I will be uploading every 2-3 days! I hope you all can learn from these tutorials and like always if you have any questions leave a comment!
Hopefully I don't seem like I'm rushing, but it has been 13 days since you last uploaded is anything going on?

These types of tutorials to learn scripting are the best. It’s so real and knowledgeable, and whenever he messes up he doesn’t edit it out or anything which is amazing because it teaches you different things to not do as a scripter and teaches you that your gonna mess up and there’s always a solution. Amazing DevKing
I’m coming back from the grave and learning to script when I was 12 I failed a few months ago I also just gave up due to lack of motivation but here I am again and I’m proud of what I’m starting to actually use and be smart
Facts man, same😁
ikr? I use to go on a bunch of scripting tutorials and just clicked off due to lack of motivation.
Same!
Are you still going?
lol i just get distraced lol
Events were the most important tutorial when you uploaded that video. I hope this video is even better because last time you made this in a video it was one single event
I would recommend when doing these tutorials to keep track of everything in a journal/notebook. It really helps for later on if you forget anything you can just look back at the journal and see how to code a function or something. These tutorials have brought me into the coding world and I think they are great! Thanks!
what i do is similar. i script everything he says a few times on my own to practice until i have it burned into my memory in a test game, and i figure if i forget i can reload it later.
my friends and I have a whole group for practising coding
hows your scripting journey been
what I do is try to make my code a little bit more different like changing the names and the values to atleast know that it works for everything, I used to write notes but then I lost the notebook
I just tweak and play with it in studio, renaming things.. and i just put it in my head it’s ez
This is my favorite script you have taught me in this series so far!
Mine too lol
btw it does matter what you set the hit to, if its anything else, the game wont know what your talking about and it will print a nil whenever you touch it, so experiment with it and see if you find anything different than what i said.
You can change it to whatever you want to. Hit is just what most use but u can set it to Hotdog and it will still work just fine. I hope this was what you were talking about
don't know if roblox fixed over the years but you can see that anything works now.
Is hit a fuction? Because when i typed the same thing that he did, it did nothing i only changed the Part because i changed the name of the object to Granitepart
Hit is a built in parameter. So unlike normal parameters which you define the variable in the function and set any value when calling the function, parameters linked with events are set by roblox. You can name the variable whatever you want just like normal parameters, but it returns a value when the event is fired. For touch event, I *think* there is only 1 parameter, which is the part that touched the part that had to be touched to fire the event. So when the event is fired, it returns a string value to the hit parameter (or whatever you named it) of the part that touched the part that had to be touched for the event to fire.
A players character consists of many parts like “RightLowerLeg” and stuff like that. Also, players are the only objects that have a humanoid as a child. So if a player hits the part, the hit parameter will return the body part that hit the part, and so hit.Parent is the player, and if finding a humanoid is true with the hit.Parent, we know for sure it’s a player, because of a random part hit the part, it would not find a humanoid in the part’s parent.
Haha right when I figured out I could edit my avatar while playing in studio I deleted my legs 😂

man you beginner scripters have so much dedication
*respekt 200*
Thank you for showing me the object browser it help me to know some codes and know what they do.
And you explain every single thing we didn't know. :)
Notes: (its a long one!)
Script.Parent is the patent of the script
The event touched will fire when the part is touched by a different part in game, and it will run a LOT if you were to touch it, since players are made of many parts
A way to connect a function to an event is:
[the name of your part].[the event]:Connect([name of your function]()
And if you were to use a parameter in the () then what fires the event will be stored in it.
Example:
Knee.touched:Connect(Bee(tea)
Then the part that touched Knee will be Tea
So if you were to use (tea) later on in the script, the script will see tea as what touched knee.
Example:
Imagine that your function is
Print (tea)
When you fire the game, and something touches knee, the function will fire. But instead of printing tea, it will print the name of the part that touched knee
If you wanted to make sure that the part that is touching knee is a player, then you would need to do this:
If tea.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then
[And here you type the code that happens to the player if the player touches knee]
End
Let me explain;
Humanoid is a part that only players have
So findFirstChild(“humanoid”) looks for a child names Humanoid once. If its there, the function fires, if its not there, then the part is not a player, and the code doesn’t fire.
The reason we type tea.Parent is because players only have one humanoid part which is the direct child of the player. The part that touches the part isnt the player itself, but the limbs (aka the parts in the player) and there are no parts called humanoid in those limbs. So instead of looking for humanoid in the part that touched knee, we need to look for humanoid the the parent of knee (which is the player in this case)
Thx for explaining, those helped alot.
using a body part as your "Part" name is a little confusing for some people(me) but i got the hanged of it and that helps thanks my dude
Thanks for breaking it down dude
Hi Tap,
I just wanted to say that the fact that you don't want to edit your videos actually makes them easier to follow lol
actually it kind of does, in a moment when all of us would be confused, we're confused together lol. instead of him cutting straight to a correct version of a script and slightly confusing us more
I have watched 7 different tutorial TH-camrs for scripting and not one explained what everything they type does and what’s its for. Great tutorial!
Man, you're a lifesaver with those -15 minute vids bro.
*timesaver
are u a pro scripter now? or at least good at scripting. Just asking people to see if they didnt give up
this far into the series and i am managing to understand everything, it's so cool, always wanted to learn scripting but only now it's kicking in
Thank You Devking for making these awesome videos!
i've always wanted to make a game and have the power to make updates according to my will, because i see games out there that i like but they just take the wrong turn when they make an update, so when i make my own game this series would help me make it and expand our community in a positive way, thank you so much for taking your time to enlighten us newbies about coding and all that, it deserves a sub!
What type of game are you trying to make
rpg
so far i'm only struggling with the map, but i shamefuly started out by using a game kit that mimics the style of the type of game that i wanted to make, but then later on i started learning how to fix any bugs that might of happened, and configuring scripts to my will. not to the deep point but just changing some variables. Now i know a little more of what to do and might just try making my own game without any kits or help. but the first game i used that had a kit, is pretty much done. with the exception of the map. the first game's name is undertale robo mania, but the second game is still work in progress.

TYSM, THESE TUROTIALS HELPED ME A LOT TO FILL IN THE GAPS I HAD IN SCRIPTING =D
Thank you so much! I learned alot from your videos
how did scripting go for u

i am learning so much thanks for the tutorials
has he moved from hotdogs to hamburgers?
I dont know how your supposed to suck a hamburger...
Thank you so much you helped me understand coding so much more.
👍
Hey thanks for these videos they help a lot!!!
“its been 6 months im so so sorry”
me watching 4 years later: you’re forgiven.
this series has been the most informative than any other thing I have watched even the one roblox itself made

@@JOEEDXCSDF ha, I've completely given up on roblox now lol. However I still do programming and game dev, just in other engines now
@@gamerlyf9979 ohh right lol goodluck
I like how you made the same mistake on the last events video with the parenthesis
I'm going to make a little script about everything i learned:
local hotdog = "thanks for everything devking"
print(hotdog)
local hamburger = 2
if hamburger == 2 then
print("yesss")
end
game.Workspace.Baseplate.Anchored = false
wait(2)
game.Workspace.Baseplate.Anchored = true
Ik that's almost nothing and it may e wrong but ty for the help dev king
you can also change other properties like color, transparency, collisions, and more
I think it's correct
another thing is when writing it hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0 for other games that decrease health when you touch like lets each time you touch it it decreases half of your hp you can do hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health-50 if you -100 you die -50 you will also die because theres alot of parts of your body touching the part so this is just a thing i found
if you are watching this through the playlist, you are 1 episode before the red sweater 6. the last 6 episodes (where the thumbnails show tapwater wearing a red sweater)
3:44 that explains why one of people i know in discord made a script to make it damage 14 but when you touch it it one shots you
i just noticed this was uploaded on my birthday
bro you are great at explaining things
cant still believe i was able to learn this much at scripting within 3-4 days.Thanks so much TDK.Respect bro and keep up and the thing is i am 14 yrs old("ik i am pretty old but lolololooloolol")
you're a fetus you're not "pretty old" wtf
@@QUBIQUBED i literally laughed at that
If you wantit only to fire when your intire model body touches r you can check for huminoid child hitting the part
when he does the kill thing how does he set a parent to the parameter hit.parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") how does something become a parent of a parameter??
events are my favorite subject
hey dev! i love your videos. I have a question, how do you move from one frame to another? like when you press play, i want to go to another menu.
example : button.mousebutton1click:connect(function()
frame.visible = false
frame2.visible = true
end
Jennifer J a bit late buddy
Aixryl
At least someone responded with an answer. Be a bit considerate and give the guy some credit.
how did scripting go fo ru
@@Real_AgilityYT terrible
Whenever I tried to do to touched it did not automatically show it and whenever I tried to go in to step on the part it said touched is not a valid member of workspace
1:30 fun fact you can say part.transparency 1 so it is invisible lava part so people will step on it and BOOM it is NOW A TROLL OBBY
I did not realize what hit was until I looked closely that the hit was in the function and the function was linked to Touched XD it's like a parameter or a argument
Lol i guess you never saw it the way he did
But then I wanna scale body part, so how do I make instead of health, it will be a body part, and get scaled.
something you can do is game.Workspace.Part.Anchored = false wait() game.Workspace.Part.Anchored = true so if you touch the part it unanchors but if you stop touching it it anchors.
why we need :connect (funcition() when i use the code
local part = script.Parent
part.touched:connect(funcition()
print("HI")
end)
i am new so i don"t know:))

even if he misses smth its really close to the correct sricp. i got lost at the very end and olmost gave up but found out what to do by my self and it works now.
i love your tutorials

12:12 man I miss that sound so much 😢
thank you for this tutorial man i was able to make a Heal version
local HealPart = script.Parent
HealPart.Touched:Connect(function(heal)
if heal.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
heal.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 100
end
end)
im the 2000th like :D
I have been speedrunning this series for 45 minutes, i think i actually learned nothing though because i already knew all it
Very good video. Just a question . How I make the same BUT a message appears when I have touched the Part ONLY with LeftFoot?
So you want it to kill you only when you touch with your left foot? If not, please explain so I can help you out :)
@@xealmcreepypastas4361 Thank you for replying. I have found the answer ! Cheers
The Dev King : Hey guys it's the Dev King here

When I do the Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit) or something it says that touched isn’t apart of the script service
THANKS FOR THE HELP thanks for it I made a game that you touch something you get other stuff
you should uploud this is really useful

how good are you at scripting now?

STREAM TODAY OR TMRW CUZ U SAID TODAY on ur alt acc btw I didn’t know you had another channel until today lol
Nice vid
This is my favourite part of the tutorial 11:00
I didn’t know how much I already knew about Roblox scripting until I skipped almost 90% of these tutorials due to already knowing them 😅😅
Finally!
Didn’t you teach us two different ways to code events and the object browser in episode 10?
Dev king i have a question i realize this video is old but what animation plugin are you using
what??
Did you mean animation pack?
How would you code the touched part to make it where it can only be touched one time, regardless of how many times the player steps on it?
yes how!?!?!
@@frostyhalo I actually just figured this out the other day! You need to add a 'debounce' to the code. Here's a link that shows how to do it!
th-cam.com/video/eyQ11rXzee4/w-d-xo.html
@@theartisticfox9050 Thanks man!
you can use the IF command, ie. IF status == untouched THEN status = touched (continue your code here), so once the code is fired, your status will change and the next time it gets fired, it wont get through the "if"
Even after 6 months he’s still has a obsession with hotdogs and hamburgers
Why do you need local part = script.Parent and then Part.Touched:Connect(hamburger) isn't the parent of the script part? So why can you not just write Part.touched:Connect(Hamburger) without any variables?
I have done the hamburger part of the video exactly as you have, yet it still says "Hi" from touching the baseplate at the beginning of the test. Why is that?
Oh, I see. You moved the part up so that it wasn't touching the baseplate.
this is helpful im making an obby thanks
I haven't heard the Oof sound in years lol!
i hope that roblox put a description in the object browser so we know what a event or function can do. like if you never mention about touched event gives what touched them then i will never know
very helpful thanks~~
More consistent schedule plz, your vids rlly help me.

epic
okay so i put in this
local Part = script.Parent
Part.Touched:Connect(function()
print("hi")
end)
when i press play this comes up
Touched is not a valid member of Workspace "Workspace"
idk what the problem is?
There's an erroer where apperently "Touched" is not a child of Workspace and the prgram won't work when i touch the part
I had that problem too, the script has to be a part of the part and not be in the workspace
❤Love from France
would any of this system change if I have a starter character and not the original?
you are a living W
he probably spent 6 months getting rid of his addiction of hotdogs lol
Quick question, do you think when you touch the part you take damage then come back to it and take that exact same damage again? Without it being a one time thing?
U can make it like a click dmg thing if u make a health script
If you want that when you touch the brick it does 10 damage, you can do
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
Do you have a discord or something that way its easier to ask questions and stuff
discord.gg/FKcSyRh I made one!
one thing i would have wanted is for him to explain what scenario this would be used in
This time I actually wrote the script at 11:34 by myself and only pressed play after the script was working c: I'm learning
whats the point of adding local part = script.parent? shouldn't the game already know that part is the parent?? and why didn't we have to add it before?
Can u begin making ingame examples?
i never knew the dev king was tapwater
also to make it not touch the baseplate now just anchor it
you didnt define hit so how did it know that its the part that are touching it. please tell me i am really confused
Will the hp just stays there or keep damaging if the hit.parent.humanoid.health = 15 or something ( not 0)
it will just set your health to 15. Like if your health is like 1 or 100, it will set your health to 15 if you touch the part.
