About Lua_Plus
Lua_Plus is a Module that will help you coding. It includes features like: choosing random item based on it’s rarity, downloading Models from a website, scaling your ScrollingFrame based on it’s children and a lot more!
The Module is getting expanded as I think of more useful functions.
How to use
You just need to require the Module from your script, like this:
local lua_plus = require(--[[Location of Lua_Plus here.]])
I heavily recommend to put the Module somewhere in ReplicatedStorage as it is also useful in LocalScripts.
