Shortcut Buddy
Made by @FatherSystem64 and @Markos_Lightspeed

Shortcut Buddy is a simple plugin which helps you make topbar buttons in your game using a simple UI and a few clicks. Although, originally planned to be made for most UI related tasks to be easier, those are being reconsidered and most likely be added later.

Version info

  • Currently, the plugin is a simple tool for making and “managing” topbar UIs. I’m hoping to change that soon.

Older versions:

version 0.2.1

Update on July 17th

  • Fixed minor button selection issues
  • The plugins now saves your buttons per place, it won’t work in offline places. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you create a copy of your button scripts before updating!

Shortcut_Buddy_v02.rbxm (40,7 kB)

To use this as a local plugin:
Import the Shortcut_Buddy_v02.rbxm to a roblox place - either drag in, or RMB the workspace -> import from file. Once you have the ShortcutBuddy model in the workspace, RMB on it, and click "Save as a Local Plugin".

version 0.2

Update on July 16th (cannot be downloaded anymore)

  • Contains a major UI redesign (more colors). The Button Position and Size Properties are not mispositioned anymore and minor design fix for drop-down menus.
  • (new) Icon Alignment option, with “Left” or “Right” alignments. Yes, the text adapts to this property!
  • Button selection system to collectively remove buttons
  • You must have either an icon or text on your button. First, add a text to disable the icon.
  • Set a text limit on Shortcut Name (min 3, max 17 letters), Button Text (maximum 30 letters) and the Button Width cannot be longer than the Topbar frame’s length.
  • Every time the plugin UI is opened, the plugin is refreshed to fix potential issues, but no saves will be overwritten
  • Fixed an issue where a button’s list item would duplicate while creating one button
  • Fixed the Gui within StarterGui (“ShortcutBuddy”) not being able to be removed. Now you can even rename it and it will save to the plugin. Removing this gui won’t have an affect to the plugin’s behavior
  • Fixed InteractionScript saving issues. Renaming it isn’t recommended
  • Fixed major error with created buttons not appearing in running Studio game

Should I expand plugin functionality in the future? (Style editor, templates, hotkey assigning, etc.)

  • Yes
  • Yes, but add different features (I reply in comment)
  • No.

I already love the plugin due to its features, but I ran into a problem. Creating a top bar button seems to work fine. However, as soon as I start playing the game, the button disappears. And I have no idea how to fix it.

I just fixed the button saving issue. Make a copy of your scripts before updating, because the plugin doesn’t import from previously created buttons and uses a new saving method.
