Instead, teach them to script, give them resources on how you would script something(methods, events, types of loops, functions, triggers, etc). Don't just give people lines of code because they want something. If they want a simple script, they can go to free models and ask specifically for the simple script. If they want to make something, and they are willing to learn, give them scripting resources and ideas on how they would script such a thing. I'm not saying you can't give people scripts, that's fine and all, but some of them come back here again and again. It's like feeding birds. They come back the next time they are hungry expecting food. Scripting isn't necessarily hard for simple things. I've had this happen plenty of times to me. I helped people by just posting code and sooner or later I had 3 PM's a day asking for things.

New people rarely ask for long scripts unless they want someone to script something for them, and in that case they have to pay and they go their own way without learning

I wouldn't even post a large script if I were you unless they paid you/ or if your just doing it out of generosity. I'm just telling you guys to be careful, I had to close my PM's for a month because I kept getting "scripting requests".

Stop making these threads.

Seriously.

a) Most people don't want to learn. At all.
b) If they want to learn there are an abundance of people here willing to explain the code and provide resources.

It's ridiculous though.

If you want to make a game = learn programming

@MG

Did you even read the OP besides the title?

If you want to explain to someone how to make a kill brick, you don't make the kill brick for them. You show them the Touched wiki article and the humanoid.health property.

I'm sorry man, but you have to wake up.

This is ROBLOX.

It's full of people and kids who want to make a game and skip the coding.

If they truly want to be a developer (and by developer I mean a game developer who can program, excluding the terrific builders, who are worthy of the name as well), they would seek out coding knowledge.

I know man, it's pretty much driven by greed too (they just want fame and fortune). It's a shame. If I ever have kids, I wouldn't raise them to be greed driven.

@MGOT

I learned to script by finding out how a script worked, not by looking at code with no explanation except for the comments.

"they just want fame and fortune"

Or maybe they just want to make a game without learning how to code?

Shocker, I know.

@thedestroyer

eh. Most of the kids I met who want to make a game either want to get to front page or want the tickets. This is the reason spammers exist ("play my game pl0x")

Spammers also exist because they are misled by fake "post this on x amount of games for robux"

It's not just "play my game pls"

@jasondee

I agree, but I wouldn't complain at people who disagree (unless they're asking for you to script their game). I prefer getting wiki links or explanations, as I learn from them rather than getting code and not knowing anything about it

You're all wrong.

When a newbie get's a script and tries to make a game by getting scripts from this forum they realize that it's stupid and
impossible.

That was me 3 years ago.

Is OP still talking about roblox? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wst8g5CwSyo

BrickColor.new(newproxy(true));

Give them a legit-looking script containing that, because unless Roblox fixed it that crashes Studio, Player and the whole server.
