Glad to see there’s more people working on tools like this! I saw woot3 talking about a visual scripting plugin a while back and have started developing my own version in the last month.

Maybe you’ll beat me to the punch then haha. There are many ways to do visual scripting though. I was thinking of doing something similar to Bolt for Unity or Visual Script for Godot where you connect nodes through wires, but I thought blocks would be more intuitive.

Blocks are definitely the way to go I think. It’s always good to have options!

@Jam_Toad, You should really open source this and put it on Github so more people can contribute!
This is neat, I like it a lot, I probably wouldn’t use it as it’s not useful to me but very nice regardless.
use the share button and select embedded option

did the progress for this great plugin stop?

At the moment is has slowed but not stopped. I have just been busy working on other things and learning more as well! My life has gotten really busy lately and I havent been able to focus purely on this.
I strongly disagree. Scratch exists and is common for a reason, coding is difficult for younger people to understand and this makes it easier to understand whilst still figuring out how it works.

No? It’ll encourage more developers to learn code. Obviously they’ll mature into normal coding as visual coding will always have limitations.
Great work! This will make a lot of aspiring coders lives a lot easier.

I personally wouldn’t use it, but for beginning programmers this would be awesome. Gives them an additional resource to understanding code, instead of free models. And it can help those who just want to put together a simple game without writing out the tedious code. I love the idea, sorta reminds me of the CORE gaming engine.
Keep up the good work!
Just curious, as I see the thread is a bit older, is the project still going? Or has development stopped?
The project is still going but if anyone else wants to create something similar they totally can. I have been busy recently with some stuff IRL so I havent been as active as I would like to be.

Will the plugin be free or cost some Robux? Fine either which.
Most likely Robux, but I was also thinking about selling it through a secondary website instead of through Roblox. I personally dont like Roblox’s revenue strategy for developers. They get far too little for the amount of money the consumer is putting in. You would actually save money if I sold it on a secondary website and gave you the plugin file. But then there are security problems and such. Maybe ill just open source it. I havent decided fully yet.
I believe the sale of Roblox game items through an external payment portal is against the ToS, just a heads up.

Ill have to check. Like I havent decided yet, but leave it to them to force you to sell exclusively on there platform.
Although, I don’t have any problem with regular code, i really want to try this out.

I may not use it that much but this will be a extremely good plugin so that nearly everyone can script easily. Im saying this will be a big feature. Keep on working!
this will expand the development comunity hugely
