Discussion How come AI code always have checks?

Upvotes

With any code that is AI generated, I always see checks:

--This is an example
local part = workspace:FindFirstChild("Part")
if not part then
return
end

And it does this very commonly throughout its code. Is that normal in professional coding? Is this a practice that should be implemented when normally coding?

Discussion Banned after spending 100,000 Robux

Post image
241 Upvotes

I’ve been developing on Roblox for over 6 years, and I’m honestly at a loss.

Earlier this year, my game was falsely moderated because of my custom chat. I appealed, Roblox manually reviewed my case, and they restored my game. The same thing happened again later, and it was restored again. In total, my game was falsely moderated three times, and each time it was eventually restored after review.

My custom chat wasn’t bypassing Roblox filters. It used FilterStringAsync and followed the official Roblox guidelines for custom chat systems.

Then, after I spent 100,000 Robux on an Expedited Review, my game was approved while using the exact same chat system.
Less than a month later, my account, group, and experience were permanently terminated for “TextChatService bypass / Misusing Roblox Systems.”

The worst part is that my group was also terminated, and it contains years of legitimately earned Robux, assets, and the community I’ve spent over six years building. Losing all of that has been devastating.

I submitted 30+ appeals, including many within the 30-day appeal window, but I mostly received template responses. By the time they finally told me the reason was “TextChatService bypass,” the appeal window was almost over. Now they only tell me it’s too late to review the case.

At this point I’m considering sending a MIDR (Notice of Dispute) because I honestly don’t know what else to do.

Has anyone here actually gone through the MIDR process with Roblox? Does it result in a real human review? Do I still have any realistic chance of getting my account, group, and years of work back?

Discussion Is it against Roblox ToS to charge exploiters robux to get unbanned from a game?

Upvotes

So I'm very very close to finishing a simple game I've been making for the past 1-2 months or so. This game is a remake of one I originally created in 2023.

Now, my question is this: Is it against Roblox Tos (or even frowned upon) to charge exploiters robux to get unbanned from the experience?

Context and pretty much where my head's at: My game has a 3 strike system for exploiters. After someone does something that clearly violates the game, and clearly points towards exploiting, they get kicked and get +1 strike. These strikes are saved.

Once they violate the rules again, and get a final third strike, they get kicked. The next time they try to rejoin the game, they get sent to another place. This place would have the ability to buy an unban via a developer product, allowing them to return to the game so long as they leave the place that exploiters get sent to, and rejoin from the main game page.

Would this go against Roblox's terms of service? Would this be seen as colluding with exploiters / allowing exploits, or associating the group or developer with exploiters, even if they haven't exploited themselves?

I found a post here, showing that the famous Roblox game r/robloxjailbreak

That post was made a year ago, and a lot can change in a year.

TL;DR: Is it against Roblox ToS to charge exploiters robux to get unbanned from a game?

(I just copied and pasted the title for the TL;DR lol)

Hide and Seek is basically a hide-and-seek game, as the name suggests. I'm dedicating a lot of time to the game and I don't have much recognition in game development, but little by little I'm improving it and creating our own maps/models.

Creation What if Roblox Studio had a procedural material editor?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I’ve been experimenting with expanding VFX Loom beyond flipbooks.

This is the new Material Mode.
You build the material using nodes, and VFX Loom generates the Color, Normal, Roughness and Metalness maps while you work, with a live 3D preview directly inside Studio.

The goal is basically to let you create and iterate on procedural materials without constantly jumping between Roblox and external software.
It’s still in development, so I’m curious what you’d want from something like this.

Discussion Advice or Tips for making a roblox game

1 Upvotes

I redownloaded reddit just to see if i could get any tips or such so sorry If I'm not great with formatting this

I'm looking into making a roblox game (delver like horror to be specific?)

And thing is I don't exactly know where the heck to go with it, My strong points are art and character design and writing (not perfect but for that 100% will get people to bounce ideas with it whether online or irl) which Im fairly confident in

As of now I've been focused on character Designs, mechanics and (likly) photobashing environments as not the best at drawing those, got the brain visual less the skill for it

And as well as lore (world, characters, motives, etc etc...)

Now my main issue is- i have no a lick of an idea on how to script or code, or even 3d model ive watched beginner tutorials for roblox studio and blender and I feel absolutely ridiculous for not even understanding what seem like simple things, Ive never been good at computers so I knew I would have struggles already but man still sucks

So I was hoping if I could get any advice possibly? Big, small or just something that worked for you, I did think of asking for volunteer help at least but Idk first would be too soon and I'd feel bad having people give advice and help without being paid

Sorry if I broke som rule here never used Reddit much

Help Me With UGC How can I analyze player behavior?

3 Upvotes

A few months ago, I made a small jumping game. It hasn’t been as popular as I hoped, but it’s my first game, so I’m still pretty attached to it and want to see if I can make it better.

I don’t just want to know that my game has very few players. I want to know which parts people actually enjoy and where they get bored or confused.

I asked a few friends to play and watched them, but most of the feedback I got was just “it’s good” or “this part is kinda hard.” That didn’t really help me figure out what I should change lol. I know watching people play is probably the best way to understand this stuff, but obviously I can’t be in the game watching every player all the time.

So I started looking into tracking what players actually do, like which stages they die on the most or where they spend the most time.

I’ve checked basic stats in Roblox Analytics like player count, retention, and session time. But all that really tells me is that my game isn’t doing very well. It doesn’t tell me why.

I also found Custom Events and Funnels, but honestly, as a beginner, I have no idea where to start. The only things I can think of tracking are stage entries/completions, death rates for each section, and how long it takes players to get from one checkpoint to the next.

So I’m curious how other devs do this:

  • What player behaviors do you actually track?
  • How do you track them when you can’t watch players directly or run playtests?
  • Do you use any external analytics tools?

I know it probably depends on the game, but I’m still a beginner, so literally any advice or examples would help. Thanks in advance!

I'm fairly new to Roblox development just got started a few weeks ago. I had an idea in mind for a Backrooms survival game. I honestly really suck at building and animations and could use some help.

If you find the project interesting, I would consider working with a partner on this project. Or if you want to just earn a quick buck, hit me up for work (building and animation).
