Road to 100K: Week 2, Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of this second week, trading my way up to 100K.
Yesterday I couldn't make many trades and I couldn't write the post because I wasn't able to access the internet. However today I am back and I am going to discuss a topic of interest today: Recent Average Prices.

Recent Average Prices (Part 1)

Recent Average Prices is the price that shows you how much a Limited Item is worth in the trading window. It updates quite often and can leave you with a higher priced or lower priced item over time. This can obviously be good or bad. I have done only two trades in the last two days for very small profits and so today, if the R$ total has shot up, or gone down; it will most likely be to do with the RAP.

The RAP of this item has gone up considerably. I traded it last week when its RAP was around 120R$. That was a bad trade and you should really look at the two key figures below:

Firstly, the top line tells you the Recent Average Price, 305R$. The line at the bottom tells you the average price in the last 30 days. It is 221R$, but more importantly, it has increased by 38%. This means that it is a good buy and the RAP is likely to increase because the 30 day average will be pushing up the RAP.

In Part 2: I discuss how else to find a good limited using the graphs and statistics above. And how selling your item before its RAP falls is a good idea - and when to know to sell it.

So in the last two days, my total has reached:

32,524 R$

Oh No! Its fallen by 1260R$! I think that this is down to the dip in price of the Green Flash Shades and Eyes of Everfrost which is now just 3978R$ when it was over 5000R$ before!

See you tomorrow! Looks like I'll need to trade some more and get my RAP higher!

Tutorial: How to use dialog in games.

Hey guys! Its RobloxianFire2 coming at you with another tutorial. In this tutorial, I will be showing you how you can use dialog to make your games more interesting. Dialog can be used to make NPCs for RPG games where the players can chat to the NPCs to get quests to do. I'm only going to show you the basics of dialog, if you want to get more advanced into the dialogs, you might want to read up on the ROBLOX wiki about it: wiki.roblox.com/.
Lets get started!
We need something to put the dialog into. I'm just going to use a simple 3x3x3 plate like this:

Right, time to insert the dialog. Head up to Insert > Object then click on Dialog.
In the explorer, you should now see the part and beneath it "Dialog".
Now, I am going to show you a bit about the options in the dialog.

First, we have the "InitialPrompt" option. This is what the NPC/brick with the dialog inside it will say when a player clicks on the dialog. For the purpose of this tutorial, I am going to make it say "Hello. Is there anything I can help you with?". To do this, just click the box next to "InitialPrompt" in the dialog and type what you want it to say. So, when you click on the dialog, you should get something like this:

Okay, so we have our dialog. Time to add some choices. To do this, select the dialog in the explorer, head up to Insert > Object then select "DialogChoice".
Lets go over some of the options.

UserDialog is the choices the player gets to choose from once the dialog has finished. When the player clicks on a choice, the ResponseDialog is what the thing with the dialog will say. In my case, I've made the player say "Who are you"? Once the player has selected the option, the brick will say "I'm Mr.Brick. I am part of ROBLOX. I am here to give information to new players like you."

So, that is basically it. If there is anything I've forgot, please tell me in the comments. ;)

I hope you guys have enjoyed this particular tutorial, my name is RobloxianFire2 and I suppose I bid you all farewell!
Thank you so much for reading!

Tutorial: How to make a dancefloor.

Hello everyone and welcome to my 3rd tutorial. In this tutorial, I will be showing you how to make a dancefloor using some bricks and a simple script. Although it may sound hard, trust me, its not.

To start, we're going to need ROBLOX studio, like we did in my previous tutorial. I will not go over how to do it again because it would be a waste of time. To see how, check out my previous tutorial.
Once we're in ROBLOX Studio, we need to open a place. Go to your places and choose one to build the dancefloor in then click on "Edit".
Once we're in the place, we now need to get everything ready. For this tutorial, I will be using 17 5x5 bricks for the dancefloor. It doesn't matter about the color as they will be changing all the time with the script we will add later.
Right now, it should be like this:

Next, we need to add the script to make them flash. To do this, we will need to create a script in one of the bricks. Once we have got a script inside a brick, we need to copy this inside it:

while true do
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.random()
wait(1)
end

Once we have this script in one brick, we need to copy it into all the other bricks.
Just exit out of the script editor and select the script. Next, just press CTRL+C on your keyboard to copy it onto your clipboard.
Once we have the script copied, we need to paste it into the other bricks. Just right-click on each of the bricks individually and click the "Paste into" option to paste the script into the brick.

Once we have all the bricks with the script inside, we now need to test! If the script works, every brick should change a different color each second.
If the end result doesn't work like this, repeat all the steps again to see if that works.



I hope you guys have enjoyed this tutorial. Be sure to look out for more in the coming days! =)
Until next time, happy BLOXing!

Tutorial: How to install plugins.

Oh hello there! Welcome to my second tutorial. Before I start, I would like to say a very big sorry. The reason behind this is that I haven't been posting much as I wanted to. From now on, I PROMISE to try post at least once or twice a week. Now, on with the tutorial. In this tutorial, I will be showing you how to install plugins.
Plugins is a feature that ROBLOX implemented a little while ago, in around November time. What this allows you to do is to use scripting to do certain things which could take some time without a plugin. For example, CFraming in studio. This would take quite a while because before plugins came along, you had to use the command bar to cframe. Believe it or not, plugins are VERY easy to install. Just follow these steps and you'll be doing it in no time. ;)

Step 1
The first thing to do is to open up ROBLOX Studio. To do this, click on the start menu, head to all programs, find ROBLOX and click on ROBLOX Studio. Another way to do this is to open the start menu and type in the search bar "ROBLOX Studio".

Searching For ROBLOX Studio.

Step 2
The second thing to do is, once you have ROBLOX Studio open, go to Tools > Open Plugins Folder
This will open your plugins folder. Another way to open the plugins folder is to, on a windows 7 computer, search for C:\Users\YOUR_COMPUTER_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Roblox\plugins. Obviously, replace YOUR_COMPUTER_USERNAME with the actual username your logged into the computer with. I'm logged in as "Liam" so I'd do C:\Users\Liam\AppData\Local\Roblox\plugins.

Inside the plugins folder.

Step 3
Once you are inside your plugins folder, you are now ready to actually install plugins. To do this, you must have some plugins to install. I suggest going to either ironnoob.com and finding the roblox section of the forums or searching the internet for some. But, whilst searching for plugins through google or anything, be aware that not all plugins are legit. Some people get them and then put viruses in them. If you do download a plugin that you do not think is legit, scan the files with an anti-virus. Once you have downloaded a plugin, if it came in a .zip format, unzip it. A great place to find good plugins could be from Crazyman32's website: http://crazyman32.weebly.com/plugins.html
Step 4
Once you have unzipped it, open the folder that is created from the zip being extracted. If there is another folder inside that folder, check if there is anything inside. If there is files inside such as an icon and a .lua file, go back to that folder by clicking the back button and then drag it into the plugins folder.
Step 5
To test if you have installed the plugin correctly, close and reopen ROBLOX studio and then open a blank place. If you have installed the plugin correctly, you should see the icon that was in the folder along with the .lua file. If not, follow these steps again and see if that works.

I hope I helped you with this tutorial! If you have any problems, post them in the comments below or message me on ROBLOX, my username is RobloxianFire2.
Remember, I will be posting tutorials like this around every week so keep checking back. ;)
Thanks for reading!!!
