How do I ask a good question?

We’re happy to help you, but in order to improve your chances of getting an answer, here are some guidelines to follow:

Make sure your question is on-topic

In order for us to answer your question, it needs to be something that we have knowledge in. we can’t help you with a question about the roblox API because we don’t know the Roblox API. Make sure that your question relates to Inventor and is something that support is likely to have experience in.

You should follow the channel topic, ensuring that your question or any content you send follows our rules and is within the topic of the channel. So, questions about inventor go in support while questions about code go in coding.

Search before you ask

We get a lot of questions in support, so it’s likely we’ve already answered your question, either in one of our support channels in the discord or on our forum (available at https://forum.inventor.gg). You should search for your question on these before asking as we may have already answered it for someone else. frequently asked questions are likely to get you sent to one of our documents on the inventor documentation.

How to format your question

CAUTION

This template is not a catch-all solution, and you will often have to make modifications in order for it to fit your question, but it provides a good starting point.If a member of support asks you for more info, then provide it or ask for clarification if you are unsure what they are asking for.

Asking a question can be hard, so here is a template for you to follow that will help both you and the support staff in resolving your problem.

Discord User

Hey, I was wondering how to [describe your issue here],

how the system works (do you use databases? cron triggers? anything special should be noted)
the portion that isn’t working, in detail
- what it is supposed to do
- what it is doing
- the flow/code you think is having the problem
what you’ve tried (be as detailed as possible)

Proofread before sending

Now that you’ve finished writing your question, take a deep breath and read through it from start to finish. Pretend you’re seeing it for the first time: does it make sense? Can someone without all of your context and background knowledge understand it? Try reproducing the problem yourself in a fresh bot and make sure you can do so using only the information included in your question. Add any details you missed and read through it again.

Also, spelling, grammar, and punctuation are important! If you’re not comfortable writing in English, ask someone to proofread it for you.

What if I can’t speak English?

We have a diverse community here with people from many different backgrounds, and not everyone is fluent in English (or may not speak it at all). That’s perfectly okay! We understand that English can be challenging for some, but we kindly ask that you make an effort to express yourself in English as clearly as possible. This helps us manage the server more effectively, as moderating non-English languages can be difficult.

There are plenty of translation tools available, such as DeepL or Google Translate, and you might also consider using an AI tool like ChatGPT or Groq to help you understand or ask questions in your native language. While we will do our best to accommodate everyone, please understand that we may not always be able to assist if you’re unable to communicate in English or use a translation tool that helps us understand you clearly.

Please find below, translations of this message into some commonly spoken languages.

Wir haben hier eine vielfältige Gemeinschaft mit Menschen unterschiedlichster Herkunft, und nicht jeder spricht fließend Englisch (oder vielleicht gar nicht). Das ist völlig in Ordnung! Wir verstehen, dass Englisch für einige eine Herausforderung sein kann, aber wir bitten Sie, sich zu bemühen, sich so klar wie möglich auf Englisch auszudrücken. Dies hilft uns, den Server effektiver zu verwalten, da die Moderation von nicht-englischen Sprachen schwierig sein kann.

Français

Nous avons ici une communauté diversifiée, composée de personnes d’origines très différentes, et tout le monde ne parle pas couramment l’anglais (ou ne le parle pas du tout). Ce n’est pas grave ! Nous comprenons que l’anglais peut être un défi pour certains, mais nous vous demandons de faire l’effort de vous exprimer en anglais aussi clairement que possible. Cela nous permet de gérer le serveur plus efficacement, car la modération des langues autres que l’anglais peut s’avérer difficile.

De nombreux outils de traduction sont disponibles, tels que DeepL ou Google Translate, et vous pouvez également envisager d’utiliser un outil d’intelligence artificielle tel que ChatGPT ou Groq pour vous aider à comprendre ou à poser des questions dans votre langue maternelle. Bien que nous fassions de notre mieux pour répondre aux besoins de chacun, nous ne pourrons pas toujours vous aider si vous n’êtes pas en mesure de communiquer en anglais ou d’utiliser un outil de traduction qui nous aide à vous comprendre clairement.

Tenemos una comunidad muy diversa, con gente de orígenes muy diferentes, y no todo el mundo habla inglés con fluidez (o puede que no lo hable en absoluto). No pasa nada. Entendemos que el inglés puede ser un reto para algunos, pero te pedimos que hagas un esfuerzo por expresarte en inglés lo más claramente posible. Esto nos ayuda a gestionar el servidor con mayor eficacia, ya que moderar en idiomas distintos del inglés puede resultar difícil.

Hay muchas herramientas de traducción disponibles, como DeepL o Google Translate, y también puedes considerar el uso de una herramienta de IA como ChatGPT o Groq para ayudarte a entender o hacer preguntas en tu lengua materna. Aunque haremos todo lo posible por atender a todo el mundo, comprenda que no siempre podremos ayudarle si no puede comunicarse en inglés o utilizar una herramienta de traducción que nos ayude a entenderle con claridad.
