I just got it and I am excited to try it out. I have been looking for a plugin like this, and I hope you continue to update it rather than discontinue or forget about it, as other plugin creators do.
Is there a reason for wanting the prefix?
I dont quite understand how adding aprefix would make large scripts less clutter and why it would be necessary to have a prefix instead of autocompletes only.
Based off of the picture i can see you pasted the players service, this service will not paste anymore once it exists already so there is no need for a prefix.
Whatâs up with the obsfucated code? If youâre gonna sell your plugin for robux then why would you put it through a gamepass first? This just doesnât check for me.
Roblox removed the ability to sell plugins for robux in the past and forced USD prices, because of this i had to create my own method to sell it for robux.
The obfuscated code is there to prevent people from simply removing the check to get a free plugin.
After chatting with the creator in DMs, I discovered that using a prefix is not actually required because the plugin automatically removes the service from being mentioned by the intellisense when called, as stated by himself:
Also, I informed the creator about having a feature to remove the line of code from where the variable type code snippet was called, and what you can do is press Ctrl
+ Backspace
to remove whatever is on the current line of code, which resolved this.
An example of this would be:
Line before pressing Ctrl
+ Backspace
:
the line where the variable snippet was called from has the snippet variable string.
Line after pressing Ctrl
+ Backspace
:
deletes the current highlighted line where we pressed Ctrl
+ Backspace
which makes it empty
This is a built-in feature from Roblox themselves
I was mistaken about an issue that did not exist.
Also, a huge thank you to the creator for considering my request and taking the time to respond and try to find a solution.
Version 1.0.5c has been released!
- Fixed an issue where the USD version was not working in team create places.
Version 1.0.6 has been released!
- Improved autocomplete algorithm.
- Improved system to allow characters like _ to be typed and not break the pointer system.
- Massively improved autocomplete and script update performance which makes the scripting workflow feel very responsive.
- Fixed issue where the pointer key system could stop working if the pointer key was placed on the end of the line.
- Removed autocompletes in greenmarked text except for the NoteTime autocomplete.
- The NoteTime snippet now automatically adds â or removes it depending on where its located.
- Added some new snippets to the list and removed unnecessary snippets.
- The autocomplete algorithm now sorts variables first until 5 characters have been typed to prevent snippets from showing above variables

Roblox states it can take action to maintain community safety against accounts that publish spam or assets with malicious intent.
I do not have malicious intent and the plugin tells you everything it does as roblox has a permission whitelisting system put in place.
See, it doesnt matter what âintentionsâ you have you are still breaking tos. If an exploiter even just injects their executor they are still breaking tos. No matter what they were going to do with it.
EDIT: if its whitelisted thats fine, idk if it is
As i said before, there is no other way to set up the robux system without obfuscation and roblox states it can remove the asset if its uploaded as spam or malicious intent.
Studio will also show everything the plugin tries to access so you can see everything it attempts to request.
A plugin is only used in studio and does not run in live games so even if a plugin were to be malicious, you would be able to see / track it and it would risk the owner his account being banned.
The plugin has a lot of features which is why security is very important because of the robux payment option.
However i could release a lite version without obfuscation with stripped features and have the additional features as a paid addition if theres enough interest in it.
Version 1.0.7 has been released!
UI:
- Snippets will now automatically update the aligner and pointer key in your code snippets when changing the pointer or aligner key in the settings.
- Improved code input window in plugin menu and fixed lots of issues with it.
- Added line numbers to code input window.
- Aligner key and pointer keys now have a pink color so theyâre easier to see.
- Added option to set Aligner and Pointer key color in settings.
- Added support for studio assigned colors in script input window.
- Added proper support for typing tabs in the script input window.
- Fixed issue where snippets could duplicate if multiple studio windows were active.
- Fixed issue where the plugin menu was not working in light theme.
Scripting:
- Fixed issue where arrow right does not move connected text to the aligner key on a single line.
- Added proper support for the aligner feature on multi line snippets
- Made the algorithm more reliable.
- Fixed spacing issue when pasting a snippet from the plugin window.
- Optimized typing in scripts for a better workflow in low end devices.
The input code window is reworked and now shows the linecount and the aligner and pointer keys now show a color so theyâre easier to see.
Its also a lot easier to change the Aligner key and Pointer key in your settings as the plugin will automatically update all snippets for you.
Iâm sorry, but whatâs behind this paywall that makes it⌠âcrazy fastâ? For now all I can see is syntax correction and adding⌠nonsensical snippets of code, of which are obfuscated for literally no reason.
All of your arguments do not invalidate the statement of it being against the Terms of Service. Obfuscated content no matter the intent is against ToS. It poses a great security risk and reduces the chances of product purchase since developers will want safety in their workflows. Your plugin grants none.
There are a lot of features that enhance and speed up the scripting workflow, read the first page for showcases of most features.
The plugin tries to automatically guess where code should go depending on the situation so you can avoid a lot repetitive actions.
You can create custom snippets and paste them anywhere you like and you can easily fill in values from the snippets.
The plugin also is capable of automatically creating modulescripts when called in a script.
I really recommend you to watch the videos from the main post as they showcase most of the plugin its features.
The obfuscated code is there to allow for the robux payment method, like i said before there is no other way to do this on roblox yet its usually the preferred payment method for creators.
I totally understand your frustration and even i wish there was a different way to do it, but there is none as of now.
If roblox were to add back a way i can sell the plugin via robux i will remove the obfuscation, but as it looks now there is no way.
I am currently working on a lite version of the plugin though without any obfuscation atm so stay tuned for that.
A lite version was added which is free of charge, its a stripped down version of the full version of the plugin with minimal features.
Its added to the main post now.
Version 1.0.7b has been released!
- Fixed issue where special âthenâ special snippet could accidentally trigger depending on certain situations.
- Fixed issue where lines could move above --!strict, etc.
- Fixed issue where duplicate servicenames would still showing up when attempting to overwrite a service with a custom snippet.
