The idea of this thread is to have all of you pros and nubs come together and admit your worst scripting fails.


Mine is... A little bit ago, I was making a loop for a daylight cycle... and forgot the "wait(.1)" needless to say, I lost about 30 minutes of work from the crash.

I spent the first two months learning to scripting thinking locals were unimportant. And the next 6 thinking return wasn't important either

Thinking I was actually good a couple of months after I started, later to realize I'm still not good.

One time when I was helping script the GUI for apocalypse rising guns because they were free models I failed to realize that I had no local scripts in there and everyone was complaining there gun didnt shot.

@Flux,

Yes. It hits you quite hard when you realise actually you're not as good as you think you are :P

Every so often I reach a problem I can solve with basic trig functions but i still spend like 15 minutes googling math concepts I don't know hoping they can help.

When I have no idea where the script breaks (logic error) I cover my script in 'prints'

e.g.

local bob = require(workspace:WaitForChild'module')
print'SO I GOT THE MODULE'

print'okay I GOT PASSED IT, WILL THE FUNCITON WORK????'
if pcall(bob.f) then
print'OKAY IT WORKED'
else
print'WATF WHY DIDNT IT WORK???'
print('THIS WAS THE ERROR, pcall(f))
end

I've begun far too many projects with promises to finish them, then stopped and broke contact with everyone.

One of my most important school projects assigned was to make a game. I did all the building, meeting with the assignment distributor. Then when it came to scripting I stopped attending any meetings. I never turned anything in. I still won the certificate for the program and it feels awful

Spending hours frustrated that creating a new part and welding it to the player (this is on an empty baseplate, no less) would make the player act like it was anchored.

i didnt realize that the part's topsurface and bottomsurface welded to the baseplate..
