We’ve all heard about it, but few of us actually get towards doing it. I’ve always been more of an art guy for Gimkit, never dedicated enough to figure out code. But, I figured now is a good time to start. I (think) I’m a accepted member of the forums, and I might as well try.
This is where you guys come in.
I need help looking for the best beginners coding tips and guide (and let me tell you I have searched), and most aren’t finished, have no pictures, or don’t contain some piece of important coding that will be needed.
You can help be giving me some coding basics or guides I can use. Thanks!
So, like, blockcode tips? I’d say start with figuring out notifications. Their code is relatively easy to master, and pretty useful in a bunch of different maps. I mean, it’s the only device’s code I can work with easily, and I’m a total coding beginner, too, other than a little bit of experience on Scratch ;-;
Block code doesn’t really need any knowledge you just need to understand what you want to do and make sense how to bring it into reality. Most of the blocks themselves you can figure out their purpose intuitively.
yes, but I’m just that kind of guy that kinda needs a direction. I can learn without having a clear path and by myself, its just so much easier with me when I have a set guide that I can follow. It would allow me to stop, pause, and then continue where I left off, y’know?
I mean, I guess for practice you could look at some coding intense guides and learn how to make sense of them. HTH’s gives an insight to TD or you could look at chatting guides too.
Oof. Looks like there really aren’t any other guides on how the code works for a notification, either. Sorry about that. I can’t really explain well, but these are the main blocks you use with the notification device:
Anyhow most of the blocks are self-explanatory. Try searching the most basic/powerful blocks first, like a notification or activity feed, or including player’s names in text.
Here’s a randomizer code if you need it, I feel like more detail would be needed on specifically what you want to learn first.
Ok, I will try my best to explain everything to you with no images.
First: Variables and Properties
This is needed in almost everything when it comes to block code.
Variables: values inside 1 trigger or anything that can contain block code. This is the pink thing in the code menu.
Variables have to be set in block code, there is usually a set variable A (“A” is a variable in this example)
Properties: A value known in the whole map
Properties are kinda like vaiables excepte they are known throughout the whole map.
There are 2 types of properties (or more I forgot). Text and number properties.
The
Set Property A
Value:
Block just sets the property’s value
Here is another description of this and also the memory it takes up.
In block code memory always matters, so if you can save it in the slightest, do it.
That is nice code but here’s a more efficient way
Let me explain this to you
“randomizing function” is the variable
Here we are setting it as a “random integer” in other words random number from 1-10.
No to the next part
Broadcast message on channel (triggering devices that have this channel on the recieving part) but create this message (in text) “R” and then right after it the variable which is valued randomly between 1 and 10. For all of this to work the devices must have channels like “R1” or “R2” or “R3” etc.
I think you should just take all of this knowledge and play around with block code at first like making a calculator or making a height counter and then try the more afvanced stuff.
I’m just happy to see a topic that isnt like “ideas because im bored” or “I need ideas for my obby”.
Holy cow at least show bro concatenation start off strong ars.
But try coding some fun stuff like math or counting how many carrots you have in-game, or in-game players and just fiddle around with anything technical that comes to mind.
I probably did this wrong but I learned block code by just using random guides I found and then tweaking them after I learned how they work to eventually learn enough to make my own block code ._.
Basically, if you master all the code that is not for specific devices, you’ve mastered block code. Try using a reliable source like the forum and Chatgpt
