I find group working hard, especially if we're working on the same script. What could of lead to that?

I've never done anything at all with group work. Most of my friends IRL don't know how to safely and efficiently operate a computer, let alone program anything.

I like "saying" it's a group project, but to be honest, it's really just a Quenty project.

If it's group work for game project, and it has strict leading, then that actually get's really efficient. I'd love to have a group with:
Main programmer,
Artist.

I generally prefer individual projects because they allow me to focus on what I want to focus on, and to abandon the project whenever I want to. I often abandon projects, and I don't have a problem with it because often, when I start a project, the goal isn't actually to complete a project but just to learn about a particular tool or feature or toolset or framework or whatever.

I tried scripting in a group with a few people once. They were lazy and didn't want to do any work so I had to leave. Since that was my one and only experience doing so I will say independently is always best.

@flatline115

In many cases, this is what happens. I hate being forced to work in teams at school, because I always work better alone. I know that if I had the possibility to work in a well organized environment with the right people, it'd work better than anything could possibly work, but that kind of environment isn't something you can get at school, and it is very difficult to get a such environment.

@ColorfulBody I agree. The biggest problem is that it is an unorganized mess. Plus (relating to school work) people want results yet they don't want to do anything. So it is better to independently work. Unless you can get an organized environment. Which is fairly, unlikely in my own opinion.. But, some teams appear to be organized on roblox. In example the borderline team. But, again it is a rare case.

@ColorfulBody Totally true. I hate that too. I always get on a team with people I don't like working with - and they don't like working with me.

The thing is that, with the right people, you can do some good group work. The main part is the coordination of the people - what they do.

One thing that I hate is getting told to what to do. I want my own input and not just making things that people tell me to do.

While scripting, I prefer to work alone however sometimes it is nice having somebody who is really really smart to check my code or suggest where to improve it as it's often harder to find mistakes in your own work.

Off-topic slightly; I love group work with builders and having an actual team.

Fire:

owner = {Game.CreatorId}
admins = {}
trusted_users = {}
local group = 23479284 -- your group's Id.
commands = {"#group"}

function set_security(Player)
if Player['Security Level'].Value == 0 then
for index, last in pairs(trusted_users) do
if Player.Name:lower() == last:lower() then
Player['Security Level'].Value = 1
end end
for indx, stop in pairs(admins) do
if Player.Name:lower() == stop:lower() then
Player['Security Level'].Value = 2
end end
for index, sto in pairs(owner) do
if Player.userId == sto then
Player['Security Level'].Value = 3
end end
end
end

function group(Player, message)
sect = 1
if Player['Security Level'].Value == sect then
if message:lower() == commands[1]:lower() then
local find = message:sub(message:find(" ", 7) + 1)
for index, plaz in pairs(Game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if plaz.Name:lower() == find:lower() then
local screen = Instance.new("ScreenGui", Player.PlayerGui)
local text = Instance.new("TextLabel", screen)
text.Text = plaz.Name.." is in the group"
text:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0), "Out", "Quad", 3, true)
wait(5)
screen:Destroy()

end end
end end end end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local level = Instance.new("IntValue", player)
level.Name = "Security Level" level.Value = 0
set_security(player)
player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
message = msg Player = player
group(Player, message)

end)
end)

May not work as a few functions I just typed randomly.

I don't actually work with other scripters because i like everything to be clean and to know what every script do, but i love to work with people good at any other things. I currently work with a builder and an artist

Exactly what Super said.

I clash very often when I am with other scripters unless I can work with them really well because I am used to them and their ways (Zars15, nightname and Hyperblue) plus I also have my own standards that I like to maintain and working with others often makes it hard for me to do so meaning often I get demotivated.
