Inconsistent Actor behavior when using Plugin Debugging Enabled setting

[Daw588]

Install the following plugin:
actor-bug.rbxmx (4.2 KB)

Go to FILE > Studio Settings… > Studio > Plugin Debugging Enabled and disable the setting (if it’s not disabled already)

Go to PLUGINS > Actor Bug > “Test” and click it once.

You should encounter the following error:

Actor:SendMessage may only be called on Actors attached to the DataModel. - Main:13
Stack Begin
Script 'user_Actor Bug.rbxmx.Actor Bug.Main', Line 13
Stack End

Now go to FILE > Studio Settings… > Studio > Plugin Debugging Enabled and enable the setting (if it’s not enabled already)

Restart studio and go to PLUGINS > Actor Bug > “Test”, and click it once.

You should see “Pong” in your Output window without any errors:

This bug was tested on both versions 0.649.0.6490878 (64bit) and 0.651.0.6510833 (64bit). Beta features do not have any effect on the bug.

Expected Behavior:
The error should either occur regardless of the setting, or should not occur at all (depending on whether it is intentional or not).

Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you.

Hi Daw588,
This behavior was recently updated such that neither the Plugin Debugging Enabled on or off case will result in this error being thrown, so this behavior should no longer be happening. Let me know if you still see this behavior.
