Introducing the Vars+!

Hey, MrKirdid here!
I’m proudly announcing a framework especialliced for variables!

This framework allows:

  • Global Variables (Variables across multiple scripts)
  • Detecting Variable Change (link functions to when a variable is changed)

This is a WIP, however i started today, and I’m already out of ideas!!
So any suggestions would be great! I’d be happy to provide some updates to this!
This is of course a free framework, and all licenses are granted, you can do anything you want with it!

Theres a “Read Me” in the framework, but in case you don’t want to bother checking (i wouldn’t either :sweat_smile:)
Heres a short explenation/usage/showcase!

------- REQUIRE MODULE ------
local VarsPlus = require('path')

------- CREATE VALUE -------
local Coins = VarsPlus.Variable()
// Do VarsPlus.Variable("Coins") if you want a Global Variable

-------- SET VALUE -------
Coins:SetValue(100)

------- DETECT VALUE CHANGE -------
Coins:ConnectToUpdate(function(_OldValue, _NewValue)

end)

Coins:CTU(function(_OldValue, _NewValue)

end)

-------- GET VALUE ---------
local CurrentValue = Coins()

------- Get Global Value -------
Script1:
VarsPlus.Variable("CoinsVariable")

Script2:
VarsPlus.GetVariable("CoinsVariable")

Any questions/suggestions, please scream out!

This looks cool. I’m not huge over having to use SetValue, there are probably better ways.

Also, why not Coins.Updated(function()) instead? More consistient syntatically with normal stuff from Roblox.

I can find this very useful. Instead of having a folder in replicated storage with a bunch of bool and number values, I can just have this!

Any alternative suggestions to SetValue?

Another over engineered solution to cross script communication. Just use a shared module and setter functions

Script communication isn’t really the main target here, the real reason i made this was pretty much souly to detect when varaibles were changed. But yeah you got a point, if you’re exclusively trying to do cross-script communication this’d be a bit overkill

A suggestion I have that might make this more useful is to allow server-to-client replication. So you can declare a variable on the server and use it on the client.

How much does this differ from using _G or shared?

Good idea! I’ll get that started ASAP!

Its really not a huge difference, however it’s got other features, working on a link/unlink feature rn
