Discord: / discord Patreon: / suphi Donate: www.roblox.com... In this video i will be showing you how metatables work developer.robl... lua-users.org/w... lua-users.org/w...
I have been struggling to understand this for a long time now. Regardless of how much scrutiny and focus I had put into other videos teaching this same lesson I would always fail to even grasp a loose understanding. I watched this video and something about it just made me learn this easily. The problem for me was to understand the logic in the code. Thank you!
Great content! My into to tables as a whole has been a headache and that clears up a lot of questions as well as gives me many ideas on how to improve my current projects
First time i watched this, i didnt understand. A week later, i watched it again, and i now fully understand! I dont know how, but this channel is really great and helpful. Keep going!
Thank you so much this is very helpful but I have some questions: 1- How the tables can be different(but they are the same)? 21:25 2- How can vectorA and vectorB take the same location in memory while doing vectorB inside of vectorA doesn't? (is it because of the way we're doing it?)
They are different tables but their metatables are the same so they both are in different locations in memory but the metatable is in the same location in memory
Quite a strange thing to ask here, but would you be interested in scripting with us, we are working on a very unique dark fantasy souls-like game while striving for industry-standard technology usage and practices.
Thank you for your feedback and I'll try to improve for future videos metatables are a little difficult to describe because you can't really find anything like them in the natural world there a bit like trying to describe the 4th dimension and as this video was more designed for experienced scripters I did not cover the basics of what I was doing in order to not make the video any longer then it needs to be
@@5uphi Sorry if I was a bit rude. I get worked up about things that are really hard to do. But I think people that would need a tutorial would also need the basics. If it makes the video longer, it is just because there is a lot of content to be made on it.
It's hard to please everyone I also get complaints from the other side that I'm explaining the basics so I try to target some videos for beginners and some for more advanced scripters based on the topic I'm covering I would recommend having a good understanding of how tables work before moving onto metatables
Maybe you should first try to understand other topics before moving onto metatables because they do require you to have a good understanding of other things like tables etc... But technically it's my failure as a teacher because it's my job to make sure you understand but I have failed sorry
@@5uphi dude I am a really good scripter maybe its my fault i do know about tables table.insert table.remove everything other but like this object oriented script and metatable stuff i dont get, i forgot*
Suggestion: If you want an updated magnitude: Instead of update it every meta method operation just use __newindex when magnitude is called and return the result operation

Been scripting for a while but I'm definitely learning a bunch of new stuff from your videos. Glad I stumbled across your channel

Gotta say, your videos make me understand roblox scripting very well. They are top-tier tutorials for people like me
Top tier tutorial for retard man

Nah, This video is way too good, I can not hold it any longer 😭
i have been scripting for 2 years and i did not know you could do things like that.
i will defenitely use it now
yeah well, you never try to push your limits, you only stick to stuff that you already know.
thank you for this video it really helped me understand metatables more than other videos
:)
god bless u, thanks bro i finally understand this!!!
Finally i can understand this, thank you so much!!!
For the equals function why not do return t.x == v.x and t.y == v.y?
That is also a valid option you could do
Thx For The Amazing Video 🍬🍬
Great video
This is the only video that make me understand how it work
Tho I don't know when will you use this?
It's another tool in your toolbox 🧰
@@5uphiYe, imagine your are roblox engineer, you were making a new roblox function.. idk if im right.

4:25 saving a spot dont mind me!!!
What is the different between . And : when calling a function in module
one passing the value one does not
Value.Func(Value) is the same as Value:Func()
@@5uphi thank you suphi 😁😁😁
Besides __index, __newindex, __len and maybe __metatable, why would i use the other ones other than make it look fancy
why would you try to make your code look fancy?
I've seen some modules do t = {} t.__index = t What is the point of setting a table's index metamethod to itself?

Jesus amado! Muito avançado pra mim! :(
It seems all you did is some coding. You need to explain what you are doing instead of showing results

@@5uphi I guess you should just make a beginners tutorial and a non explanatory tutorial? idk seems tough
@@TurdleRoblox You shouldn't really be watching this if you are a beginner though
dude i dont get it

Think of metatables like settings for a table it allows you to configure how tables work
I still understand jack shit
I DONT FUCKING UNDERSTAND ANY OF THIS
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Suggestion:
If you want an updated magnitude:
Instead of update it every meta method operation
just use __newindex when magnitude is called and return the result operation
vectors in Roblox never change so the magnitude only needs to be calculated once when the vector is first created
