And? You can already customize trails as your heart pleases, how is this a “way to have a more custom trail”

as of right now the module doesn’t let you change the trail instance’s settings, next version will allow that which means it will let you customize the already existing trails including the customizations my module adds onto it

trust me just wait for the next version, I’ll even have trail types where you can changes how the trail moves and works

V1 is nothing compared to what V2 will have
so in terms of customization this thing will be amazing

#23

besides like I said V2 is also going to include signals or RBXScriptSignals that trail instances don’t even have at all

even V1 is still really customizable

#24

Aand what are those signals going to bring? I see no actual use case for signals in Trails

let me name some rq

Touched, TrailAdded, TrailRemoved, Changed, and many more

like I said I am going to make this very useful

#26

3/4 events that you mentioned already exist so why bother

and you have yet to see what I mean, this is hilarious

you don’t understand why I said those three do you?

Changed

let’s start off with Changed, so what is different?
well Changed runs whenever an instance changes, you can’t do that with my module because the trail instance isn’t the only thing changing properties and you can’t access the trail at all unless you know where it is, there are multiple things changing at once.

TrailAdded and TrailRemoved

why TrailAdded over ChildAdded and why TrailRemoved over ChildRemoved, well you can’t easily detect when this stuff happens, like I said less work for the scripter or anyone using this

these signals are here to make you have less code and making everything efficient and clean

#28

I still see no use cases for those specific events, if anything they already exist in the normal Trail instance

I edited my message btw, I explain stuff
the default signals for the instances wouldn’t work well at all

also ChildAdded and ChildRemoved check if a child is added or removed from an instance and that is not the same as what TrailAdded and TrailRemoved do because they run when a trail is added to anything or removed from anything not a specific instance

#30

You can literally just do this??

Instance.ChildAdded:Connect(function(Child)
	if Child == [path.to.trail] then
		-- Do stuff
	end
end)

Same goes for ChildRemoved

you are such a dense person aren’t you…
it’s annoying when people don’t think about what other people are actually talking about

also yes ik DescendantAdded and DescendantRemoving are a thing but that is still unnecessary code

I like this module, it does something with trails I didn’t even know was possible. Just being a little nitpicky here, but you use pcalls pretty excessively here:
pcalls
It’s nothing really major, and the script still works and performs correctly which is what really matters. But for the sake of being neat, you can get rid of the pcalls and use this, which uses the :IsA method:

if typeof(Clone) == "Instance" then
			if #Clone:GetChildren() ~= 0 then
				Clone = Value:Clone()
				Clone:ClearAllChildren()
			elseif Clone:IsA("GuiLabel") then --The object has a "Text" property
				Type = "Text"
			elseif Clone:IsA("ValueBase") then --The object has a "Value" property
				Type = "Value"
			end
		elseif typeof(tonumber(Clone)) == "number" then
			Type = "Number"
		end

Despite what other people said (@RealExoctic), even though some people can’t find a use for this, other people can (like me), and that doesn’t make it a bad resource.

I didn’t use this because I didn’t know ValueBase was a thing, tysm

#34

this has to be in a PCall because if you don’t enter an instance it will error

I made fixes on V2 already tho(coming out in july)
those two functions that check the numbers are improved into one function and have less code

Before this you check if the Clone variable is an Instance
