script (this is a portion of the code):

local insideString = (line:match('".+"') or line:match("'.+'") or line:match('%[%[.+%]%]'))
local insideComment = line:match('%-%-.+')
				
local suffix = CurrentSettings.Suffix
				
print(suffix) -- clearly says "-"
if command.predicate(line, suffix) and line:reverse():match('.') == suffix and not insideString and not insideComment then
	v.Source = table.concat(command.callback(lines, index, line, suffix), '\n')
	break
end

modulescript:

local module = {}
local Util = require(script.Parent.Parent.Utilities)

local WAIT_FOR_CHILD = [[%swhile task.wait(%s) do
	%s
%send]]

function module.predicate(line: string, suffix: string): boolean
	
	print(line, suffix) -- while- nil
	return line:match('while([%p%d]+)' .. suffix) ~= nil
end

function module.callback(source: {string}, index: number, line: string, suffix: string): {string}
	local t = line:match('while([%p%d]+)' .. suffix)
	local indent = Util.getIndent(line) or ''

	source[index] = string.format(WAIT_FOR_CHILD, indent, t, indent, indent)

	return source
end

return module

It clearly says “-” in the script, but its nil in the modulescript, anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Oh no, are you going to make infinity yield?

Can you show non-potion version?

No this is a plugin

Here it is:

local LOCAL = false

local Selection = game:GetService('Selection')

local Util = require(script.Utilities)

local Toolbar = plugin:CreateToolbar('Tools')
local ToggleButton = Toolbar:CreateButton('toggle', 'big mistake', 'rbxassetid://6767454852', 'Toggle Script Commands ' .. (LOCAL and 'LOCAL' or ''))
local SettingsButton = Toolbar:CreateButton('settings', 'Configuration', 'rbxassetid://8520704803', 'Settings')

local PluginEnabled = false
local Connections = {}

local PreviousScript = nil

local DefaultSettings = {
	['Suffix'] = ';'
}

local CurrentSettings = DefaultSettings

local function outputWarn(str: string, ...)
	warn(string.format('[Script Commands] :: ' .. str, ...))
end

local function GetCurrentLineEdited(prev: {string}, source: {string})
	local line, index

	for i, x in prev do
		for j, y in source do
			local xmatch, ymatch = Util.ltrim(x), Util.ltrim(y)
			if xmatch and ymatch and xmatch ~= ymatch then
				line = y
				index = j
			end
		end
	end

	return line, index
end

local Commands = {}

for _, command in script.Commands:GetChildren() do
	table.insert(Commands, require(command))
end

local function execute(v)
	local v = Selection:Get()[1]

	if not v or not v:IsA('LuaSourceContainer') then
		return
	end
	outputWarn('Listening to "%s"', v:GetFullName())

	------------
	-- EVENTS --
	------------
	local previousSource = v.Source
	local connection = v:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Source'):Connect(function()
		local source = v.Source
		local lines = source:split('\n')
		local line, index = GetCurrentLineEdited(previousSource:split('\n'), lines)

		--print(line, index)
		if line then				
			for _, command in Commands do
				-- if predicate and not (inside string)
				local insideString = (line:match('".+"') or line:match("'.+'") or line:match('%[%[.+%]%]'))
				local insideComment = line:match('%-%-.+')
				
				local suffix = CurrentSettings.Suffix
				
				print(suffix) -- clearly says "-"
				if command.predicate(line, suffix) and line:reverse():match('.') == suffix and not insideString and not insideComment then
					v.Source = table.concat(command.callback(lines, index, line, suffix), '\n')
					break
				end
			end
		end

		previousSource = v.Source
	end)

	table.insert(Connections, connection)
	PreviousScript = v
end

ToggleButton.Click:Connect(function()
	PluginEnabled = not PluginEnabled

	if not PluginEnabled then
		outputWarn('Plugin deactivated')
		outputWarn('Disconnecting %d connections', #Connections)
		for _, connection in ipairs(Connections) do
			connection:Disconnect()
		end
	end

	if PluginEnabled then
		outputWarn('Plugin activated, listening to selection change.')
		execute(Selection:Get()[1])
		local connection = Selection.SelectionChanged:Connect(function()
			execute(Selection:Get()[1])
		end)
		table.insert(Connections, connection)
	end
end)

-- widget
local WIDGET_INFO = DockWidgetPluginGuiInfo.new(
	Enum.InitialDockState.Float,
	false,
	false,
	200,
	300,
	150,
	150
)

local SettingsWidget = plugin:CreateDockWidgetPluginGui("Settings", WIDGET_INFO)
SettingsWidget.Title = "Settings"

script.Frame.Parent = SettingsWidget

SettingsButton.Click:Connect(function()
	SettingsWidget.Enabled = not SettingsWidget.Enabled
end)

for _, v in SettingsWidget.Frame.ScrollingFrame:GetChildren() do
	if v:IsA('Frame') then
		v.TextBox.FocusLost:Connect(function(enter, input)
			local text = v.TextBox.Text:match('[%w%p]+')
			
			if text:match('%d+') then
				outputWarn('"%s" cannot be a number', v.Name)
				return
			end
			
			CurrentSettings[v.Name] = text
			v.TextBox.Text = text
			
			outputWarn('%s is now %s', v.Name, text)
		end)
	end
end

This seems like a good time to use the debugger. You can watch the variables change and follow the code line by line to see where it goes and what it does.

I never used the debugger in my life, how do you use it?

6

Ok so uh this is kinda weird but the error stopped and i didn’t even know what i did beside changing the current settings to not reference the default settings

7

I haven’t found any good video tutorials, but this page here seems pretty complete.

In addition to this

I’m glad it’s working now, hopefully that’s all it was.

8

It does work, but I don’t know why it stopped happening; should i close this topic as solved?

9

Most likely. I don’t see anything wrong with it to be honest. Just mark your own comment as the solution since there wasn’t one.
