The plugin has to be opensource and available for it to be in resources.

I love it! This will definitely make scripting more approachable for kids.
Some suggestions:
A) The UI does look messy to me
B) Have you thought about converting regular lua to block code?

Im finishing the lua to block part up. I don’t make ui, which is why its messy.

Congratultions, great work and im sure it’ll be useful for many starters out there although you may want to consider working on the UI as presentation is everything (or at least…something).

Wow, this is a really good plugin and will help much more newer developers. Only one thing that can be improved on is the UI.

Ohhh really some people have really great ideas but they just can’t make those games but they can’t learn how to script

This is really good, super awesome!

Would probably be more useful docked than on core GUI, especially if you could select objects with it and plug modifications to parts with that. (Plugin | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub)

Would also be really good if you could add indenting into the source code. Am interested to see where this ends up.

This is cool! I’m not much experienced with Lua, so this is gonna help a lot!

You just made coding in studio one step easier.

Hey so,
Several people had asked me for the src code for this, and I provided it for most of them. However, after finding several major issues as well as inefficiencies throughout my code, I decided to make a new one. With the creation of the new one, I will no longer be distributing this one. The ui will be getting massive improvements :sweat_smile:

New one should be available to public fairly soon
Thanks,
Embedded77.

Also dm me any of your ideas, Ill make sure to read them.

A bit of a late reply :flushed:,
Ill see if switching it to a widget is practical, as I could have it fold into the explorer window when needed as well.

Hey,
Parsing Lua into blocks is a great idea, I’ll be sure to add it.

its super cool but how can the player view the explorer tab to make some variable

Fold into the explorer window
If someone needs to access an obj, itll temporarily hide itself

True, but it will help people get started scripting and coding. They could view the code and learn more and more daily. This could add more scripters to the community.

Roblox have made coding so accessable already. But this makes it help anyone who still finds the first steps of choosing intimidating. This is a great plugin, I hope the Roblox team get behind it and promote it.

Good work sir
