How do I make a settings system?

[obamagremlin (jayp)]

I have a good data system right now but the problem is I dont know how I will actually handle the settings updates themselves.

Should I just store the functions for each setting in a module and find the function and run it when a specific setting gets updated? Cuz this is how I think it would be good, even though It could get messy as it builds up…

local settingsFunctions = {
    ["ShadowsEnabled"] = function(value)
        if value == true then
        -- ...
    end
}

This might help.

Want to make a settings menu, whats the best way?

I want to create a settings menu that is well, any other settings menu, but it also interacts like I can set if I want guns to always reload when their magazine is at zero, However I do not know how to execute this, I wanna know the most performant way, like is it gonna be a bunch of attributes/values inside a folder stored inside the player?, A modulescript? or just any other regular local/server script.

That does seem like a good approach. It can make for a lot of functions, but each option has it’s own function, and so it shouldn’t lead to a mess, just maybe a big script that is a combination of lots of small simple independent functions
You can always separate those functions in sub modules, and have a parent module that combines every sub module into a single table with every setting function
