Pretty excited about the voice chat featured just worried about the wrong people getting behind the mic

I am so happy that Roblox has provided the code for these modules, but I have some feedback for them to make it even better.
Emote Bar:
Are all these module scripts really necessary? I’m having trouble navigating through the emote bar because of all these different module scripts.
Also pretty surprised to see wait() in the Pulse script (wait() is development smell). In this case, wait() can simply be removed since there is another delay in the script.

Roblox always overcomplicate their scripts by trying to make them more simple lol.

As a non-scripter, thank you! I am trying to make a social RP game and this is exactly what I needed :]

Pretty cool. I could see these being used in roleplay games. Not something id use in my game but still pretty cool non the less. I do have a question though, Will we be able to customize these? (changing appearances and adding to them). Id assume the answer is yes but id like to check anyways.

So many updates? This is really cool. Since when have you guys been planning these?

Emotes start happening very fast when you keep pressing keys.

Umm. This is not a feature. It is a set of free models released by Roblox people can implement to their own games.
I don’t think this really affects the old Roblox dying. These are free models released by Roblox and honestly just add more nice feature. I too don’t like the new corporate agenda at Roblox and like old Roblox better. But these free models I think are only a positive and I would rather be much more concerned about rhtro.
Nothing. These are free models made by Roblox. You can insert them to your games by just adding the free model.
Because it is made by Roblox and thus is not made by the community.
Yes. It does. /e dance and the emote menu already work. Why woudln’t this work either?

These are very great but
umm… whats the point of the photo booth? I mean its cool but like does it have any benefits besides taking a screenshot with a custom background? I guess it it good for GFX? But does it have any other benefits?

I would definitely assume so. I could imagine that some people would want a different style for their games!

That is part of the behavior: users can select the speed the the emotes animate based on how quickly they click the emote icon or hotkeys. There should be a way to disable this functionality in the code if it does not fit your experience’s playstyle.

Amazing features, cant wait to see games using this as a big potential to get new players!

Believe it or not, this actually makes the script easier to edit for the developers who know them inside-out. Meanwhile, us:
If it makes your life easier, .spec files are “psuedo-code” that describes what the non-.spec script does. You can delete them if you don’t need them

A lot of what it comes down to is robustness:
When developers are writing personal code for their games, they make a lot of internal assumptions specific to how they know that their game works, which let the code that they write be a lot simpler.
Roblox has no such luxury with code like this. Stuff that we write has to be robust and continue to work even when the game it is running in has extremely unlikely or unexpected circumstances thrown at it. A lot of the infrastructure you see as those piles of modules is systems that we’ve built to make writing that robust code easier.

Hello, thanks for trying out the friends locator Dev Module! Can I confirm if this is still reproducible?
We’ve seen this happen in rare situations with large servers. In any case, we will be patching this to make sure it doesn’t crash!
