Why use this over Service Autocomplete (code completions)?

Service Autocomplete has an issue where if you press enter after getting a suggestion for a service it puts your cursor at the start of the script, so I made this plugin as a temporary solution and to learn more about ScriptEditorService.

Ive added some features to the plugin that others plugins dont have since the release

Hi, great job on creating your own service autocomplete in such a short time but in the future if you could commit to the github repo that’d help significantly!

also, make sure to turn on auto update for the future :star: since my plugin worked for months until an overnight flag change :-/

Quick Update

  • If a module is inside the script the plugin will use script as the path when requiring the module

edit:

  • If a module is inside StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts it will switch to Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts (only in local scripts and module scripts and scripts with runcontext set to client)

Doesn’t this plugin already exists? Service Autocomplete (code completions)

#14

Ah, I see but that I believe that was fixed, atleast for the latest version.

#15

My plugin has more features to offer right now, please the read the post

At least this lets you get the modules, I will go use your’s

also I will modify your’s to make it work with my require() function which is this

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("xAPI"))()

return function(name: string)
	local modules = getmodules()
	
	for _, v in modules do
		if v.Name == name then
			return require(v)
		else
			error("Got an invalid module")
		end
	end
end

okay! modifying the plugin should be pretty easy, just look for the line where it does something like this and edit it to your liking

`local {moduleName} = require({path})`
#18

This function seems suspiciously similar to mine :thinking: … took me months to figure this out so if this is based on my code please credit in some form :upside_down_face:
