Hey Fellow Devs,
I have created a simple UUID generator module for one of my projects and have decided to publish it. It’s not a large module, but it can help you generate unique identifiers for basically anything.
You can get it on the Creator Store.
Happy Coding!
Oh! I didn’t know roblox already has a built in function for that. Thanks for the notice.
Oh, yeah no worries. Still a good module as it was interesting to see your approach! Good job!
module.getUUID = generateUUID
This module is super helpful as HttpService:GenerateGUID() has never fit my needs. So cool and deserves a trophy. Here’s a cookie for being so helpful
Not bad hey, this is kinda better over the default function but if you were to add customization, who knows, I might actually use it! Good job!
There’s no cookie. Here’s one from me 
Yeah this function is already exists.
also i have made a little module for multiple options that I made for my own use
--!strict
local HttpService: HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
return function(wrapInCurlyBraces: boolean?, isSeperatedByHypens: boolean?): string -- 8-4-4-4-12 -> total 36 characters
return HttpService:GenerateGUID(wrapInCurlyBraces == true):gsub("-", if isSeperatedByHypens then "-" else ""):lower() -- if wrapInCurlyBraces are nil then we are setting default value is false. if is isSeperatedByHypens is false or nil then we are setting "-" else ""
end
Hey!
I’ve gotten some free time and have decided to update this to allow for a bit more customization. Below are some examples.
includeHyphens: Bool = Wether to include a separator or other hyphens in the UUID
segmentLengths: Table = How many numbers, letters, etc. should be included in each segment - PS: even without a separator this works.
Example for segmentLengths:
module.getUUID({4, 4, 4, 4, 12}, true)
In this case in the first segment, there should be 4 numbers, letters, etc. and in the last 12.
Result:
You can find the module in the Original Post.
(btw if I have overlooked something e.g. code errors, typos etc. let me know cause its kinda late when im posting this)
Happy Coding!
