NEW VISUAL SCRIPTING PLUGIN | BlockLua Devlog 3

Introduction

Hello everyone!
Recently I started making a new visual scripting plugin and it is doing great so far!
It is very similar to my current plugin EventBlocks . It has the same style of scripting (like Scratch does).


Selecting instances from the explorer

Some blocks now have a square shaped input which you can click on and select an instance from the explorer. Doing so will find a path and use that path to reference the selected instance.
It still needs improvements but it gets the job done for now.

Shortened blocks

Some blocks get shortened when you drag them into the coding area.
These blocks are:

  • string:
    in Inventory:
    image
    in Coding Area:
    image

  • number:
    in Inventory:
    image
    in Coding Area:
    image

  • variable:
    in Inventory:
    image
    in Coding Area:
    image

This method saves a lot of saves when making larger codes and it makes looking at it easier.

Less UI glitches

I have fixed some scaling issues with the blocks and fixed their connectors not appearing at the right spot.

Loops!

Currently I’ve made two loops for testing, but I will add more later on.
The two types of loops are:

  • repeat:

    Example:

  • while:

(You will get a notification when it comes out if you are tagged)

When will this release?

I can’t give you an exact date. Probably at the end of this year or at the beginning of next year.
