How to:

1. Create a PlacePlugins folder in ServerStorage
   
2. Add your scripts, models, folders, or ids to it
   
   • If you use a NumberValue or StringValue, a plugin will be downloaded from Roblox based on the Value.
     
3. Press “Load New” to load all plugins.
   • User interaction is required to run plugins as a security measure. You can always inspect plugins before running them.

Developing Place Plugins

Developing a Place Plugin is just like developing a normal plugin. Here’s what the TestPlugin from above looks like:

print(plugin, script)

plugin:CreateToolbar("Test Plugin"):CreateButton("Test!", "Info", "")

Place Plugins are great for per-project utilities. You can have user-friendly buttons instead of using the command bar. This is especially useful in Team Create, where Scripters can make utilities for Builders.

That’s actually really neat. Now I can stop uploading plugins to the site on alts and have them show up on every game when I only want them on one. In the first place, why do I even upload plugins to the site if I’m the only one using them? I completely forgot about the Save Local Plugin feature.

The plugin doesn’t work for me anymore, I can’t even see the toolbar button

I just tested this plugin in a new file. The toolbar buttons showed up and I was able to create and run a plugin both in the session that I created it in and after reloading the file.

Is your plugin up to date? Are you sure that your plugins bar isn’t “overflowing” i.e. it has a small arrow on the right to scroll to more plugins? There are no errors?

Could you send a screenshot of your plugins bar and ServerStorage with the PlacePlugins folder? Could you try to find the plugin in a new file to ensure that this is not related to a specific place file?

Plugins don't Load when opening a place from the Site

Plugins no longer start up when I use Play-Solo or open a second place file. I use Roblox Studio full time and this is seriously disrupting my workflow. Toggling plugins off/on or running them via the command line is so tedious. This is likely related @CycloneUprising https://devforum.roblox.com/t/installed-plugins-now-saved-in-cloud/340503

Thanks, it works for me now, it was probably related to what @EchoReaper linked

I'll just send the screenshots anyways
