Starter Guide!
-
Install The Plugin: Easy Code Snippets - Roblox
-
Let’s Make Our First Snippet By Clicking The “Add Snippet” Button -
-
Let’s Rename It Clicking The Edit Icon Next To The Snippet’s Name -
-
Insert The Snippet Name You Want.
I Named Mine “PlayerAdded” Because I Will Type A PlayerAdded Event Snippet. -
Click On The Snippet And On The Right There Is A Script Field Which Should Look A Bit Like This
There You Can Type Your Own Code. I will Write A Simple PlayerAdded Event.
Now You Should Have Your Own Snippet. But How Do You Use it? Well, keep the Plugin Window opened. On The bottom-right You Should See “Prefix”, by default it should be “ecs_”, you can change it to whatever you want, in my opinion “ecs_” works the best.
Next, You Go Into Your Script and Just type the Prefix and The Snippet Name Together.
For Example: Mine Will be “ecs_PlayerAdded”
like that. And Just Press Enter and Should Fill The Script With The Snippet We Just Created.
Good Job! You Just Learnt The Base Of The Plugin.
Advanced Guide!
I. Where Are They Stored And How To Access them immediately?
The Already Created Snippets Are Stored In A Folder In ServerStorage named “ECS_Snippets”.
In It Will Be Stored The Snippets. You May Also Notice There Is Another Folder named “ECS_CONFIG” and There Is Stored Data, Now only Just The Prefix.
Don’t Rename/Delete Attributes In The 2 Folders Because It May Cause an Error.
Tho, The Great News Are You Can Change The Module Scripts Sources And The Names, The Plugin WIll Work Just As Fine.
For The Plugin To Display The Changes You Have Done, You Need To Press The “Reload” Button.
And Everything Will Update On The Gui. (If You Don’t Update The gui, The plugin will still work as fine as it was)
II. Snippet Arguments
Let’s Look At Our Snippet “PlayerAdded”
If I “require” it in the script, it will return the same thing. It Won’t Be Changed
But If I Have A Class Script
For Example, I Have This KnifeClass, with snippet name of “KnifeClass”
And I “require” it from the script it will return the same thing over and over again.
And Will Be Pretty Useless.
If i Wanted To Change The Class To Example Car, I would Have To Edit This Again and if i want another class, edit it again etc.
Well, Arguments Solve The problem
Let’s First Rename The Snippet To “class” so it is more universal
To Add Arguments To The Snippet, You Just Need To Add Dashes “-” To The Snippet Name and After them some sort of value, i would use a string with a symbol in front - @className (example) Or It Will Look Like
Keep in Mind The Class Code, Let’s Change It To Something Simpler For Now.
Let’s Change It To A print builtin with The Argument We Just Added.
something like this.
Let’s “require” it from the script and set the argument to a value we want. But Let’s Just First Get The Snippet By Doing The same From The Starter Guide
And To Set The Argument As A Custom Value, Just Add A Space And Insert Your Value (If You Use Tables Or Strings, TheyShouldn’t Have Spaces In Them). I will call mine “Car”.
And Just Press Enter. It WIll Change The Argument @className To The Value We Set, “Car”.
and There You Go, A Snippet With Argument.
Let’s Now Use The Class Script From The Beginning.
I Will Replace “knife” with the argument We Set - @className
→
And You Can Use It The Same Way - “require” the snippet from the script, add a space and the value for the argument and Press Enter.
It May Prompt To You Wanting Access To Manage Scripts. I Promise, The Plugin Is 100% Safe To Use.
- Have As Many Arguments As You Want
