How can I interact with a vechicle seat inside of blocklua?
More so how to specifically get the player that sat in said seat.
Hello developers!
A new update has come out for BlockLua, let’s see what’s new.
- Raycasting blocks
- Great optimizations
- Major + minor bug fixes
Raycasting blocks
The long-awaited raycasting blocks have arrived!
Use the new category of blocks to your advantage, and make advanced systems using raycasting.
Important heads up!
- The “filter” input requires a LIST of instances, NOT a single instance.
- Raycast params are OPTIONAL, you can leave the input empty
- Too frequent raycasting may cause lag, so use it with this in mind
Great performance improvements
Loading times just got cut… by a lot.
Lags when dragging huge block chunks have also been greatly reduced, if not completely eliminated (depending on your system).
Rough performace change based on my system (Macbook M3 Air)
- Before: 20+ fps drops
- After: ~1-2 fps drop (could be just marginal error)
I achieved this by getting rid of a few huge unnecessary loops which were left in the code base from long ago 
Everything seems to work though!
Bug fixes
Fixed many bugs. See them here:
- MAJOR: Custom blocks with
[or]characters could crash the plugin: FIXED
- MAJOR:
Can't parse JSONbug when opening scripts: FIXED - Couldn’t scroll in the tutorials page: FIXED
If you still encounter any of these bugs, or new ones, please reach out to me here in the replies, in DMs or on discord.

Update notes
Hello everyone
It’s a small update, but don’t miss it!
- Fixed a bug related to corrupted data getting into the saved blocks, breaking the custom blocks functionality. Now BlockLua will not try to load corrupted data
- Improved the Glass effect resolution by a LOT. Now it looks extra sharp all around:
- Documentation popup will NOT clip of screen now. Also, fixed bug where line breaks appeared unreasonably large making the text harder to read.
- Minor animation tweeks for consistency.
Any suggestions/feedback?
Please feel free to share anything you have in mind, I try to do my best to make BlockLua better and better with each update!

Unfortunately there is no other way to get the plugin
Hello! I was thinking about adding pathfinding service! So we can make working Pathfinding Npcs that follow the part or players.
Is it possible?
you can use itch.io to put the plugin there lol
Small update: bug fix, new blocks + fun little feature
Hello devs!
It’s been a while, exams are cooking me but I tried cooking a little update for you to keep BlockLua alive.
What changed?
-
Fixed bug that broke the “Lua Mirror” feature when a string contained quotes or apostrophes.
-
Added blocks related to Remote Functions (they work like the ones for remote events)
-
Added fun mode. As the good weather improved my mood significantly, I decided to put some of that emotion into BlockLua as well
It will replace the title bar with a randomly chosen motivational text, and change the scripting background to a bit more playful pattern.
That’s about it. Sorry for the inactivity recently… just the usual solo dev stuff: exams, burnout, personal life. Thanks for everyone who’s using BlockLua!
