#146

by the way, for the demo plugin there is no option to “save on your device”, is this intended?

#147

That was not intentional. I’ve updated the demo version to restore the “Save to Module” option. You can save it to file manually by right-clicking the created ModuleScript in the Explorer window and selecting the “Save to File…” option from the context menu.

#148

alright, i’ll try it now (it’s on the itch.io version right?)

#149

It is indeed. I can’t actually publish the demo version to the Creator Store as the anti-fraud AI flags it and blocks it from being distributed.

#150

this is really cool, but what happens if the script is larger than 20,000 characters?

#151

There’s not much I can do in that instance. If you’re reaching the script character limit, even exporting to device will not work, since that system still relies on scripts.

I’m looking into ways to export to third-party services for the full version of Codify v3 (e.g. Pastebin, GitHub Gist), but if you’re hitting those character limits, you should probably look into splitting up into smaller components. You really shouldn’t have components that large.

UIDragDetectors appear to error.

Got it. Will look into this asap.

UIFlexItems also do it, seems like any of the newer instances are not supported.

My suggestion is to detect errors for unknown instances, then just skip over them and warn the user

Will investigate when I get a spare minute. UIDragDetectors are in beta, so this may be why they’re not showing up and I’ll see if I can find a way to work around that. Not sure why UIFlexItems aren’t showing, but I’ll try and issue a patch for both of these.

#156

UIGradients are also broken, when I run this code (generated by Codify Demo):

local uIGradient = Instance.new("UIGradient")
uIGradient.Name = "UIGradient"
uIGradient.Color = ColorSequence.new({
    ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(Color3.new(1, 1, 1), 0),
    ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(Color3.new(1, 0.898, 0.486), 0.656),
    ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(Color3.new(1, 1, 1), 1)
})

I get this error:

ColorSequence:4: invalid argument #1 to 'new' (number expected, got Color3)
#157

ah my bad. I got the arguments the wrong way round! I’ll patch that soon too!

are you using loadstring, or require, or something else blacklisted in the plugin? (it auto-flags it if it uses loadstring)

#159

nope. it’s because the source is almost identical for both the paid and demo versions. it’s basically flagging the demo because it’s too similar to the paid version

#160

great, let me know when you fix it!

10$…

Guys if you’re looking for a free alternative just search “serializer” in the plugin store.

This is one one i use: “https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/1614059092/Instance-Serializer”

EDIT: Apologies to whoever reads this lol
I had not realized it converts to different frameworks, my bad!
