JSONEncode doesn’t encode special stuff like Vector3, what could be done about that?

Let’s say you have a table and have a Vector3.new(1,1,1) inside of it and then use JSONEncode.

There might be other things that it doesn’t encode too.

You can convert the vector3 to table then encode it.

--convery vector3 to table
local vector = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
local encoded
encoded = {vector.X,vector.Y,vector.Z}
encoded = game.HttpsService:JSONEncode(encoded)

Convert it into an format which can be encoded into a JSON string.

local Http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Vector = Vector3.new(1, 1, 1)
local TableVector = {Vector.X, Vector.Y, Vector.Z}
local Encoded = Http:JSONEncode(TableVector)

Just send the x, y, x as a table and decompile it the same way

#5

yeah, though Vector3 is not the only thing, I don’t know what other things may cause issues.

Maybe checking if something is not nil and if it becomes nil, but uhhh

#6

You can also convert other things using this methods depending on arguments.

Have to functions, Compile and decompile

Compiling:

local function compile(vector)
    return game.HttpsService:JSONEncode({vector.X,vector.Y,vector.Z})
end

Decompiling:

local function decompile(json)
   local table = game.HttpsService:JSONDecode(json)
   return Vector3.new(table[1],table[2],table[3])
end
#8

No, compiling would be :JSONEncode, and decompiling would be :JSONDecode. And also in the JSONEncode it needs to be a table so :JSONEncode({vector.X,vector.Y,vector.Z})

Also its not HttpsService its HttpService
