Plugin Open On Run

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

How would you detect if a plugin is open already, and when the game is ran, it stays open?

Lets say i have a plugin, and i turn it on. I press the run button, but the plugin disappears. I basically don’t want it to disappear. How would i do this?

Could you show the code to your plugin? It shouldn’t be disappearing from the ribbon.

Oh no not the ribbon. When the plugin is actually open, ( it uses DockWidgetPluginGuiInfo ) it removes that window

#4

Have you tried opening it after the game runs? It should hopefully remember to keep it open after you do that.

If that doesn’t work, then I guess you can use plugin datastores with plugin:GetSetting(name), plugin:SetSetting(name, jsonvalidvariant).

#5

yea but the thing is some stuff might happen immediately when the game starts.

also can you explain the plugin datastores?

#6 
local toolbar = plugin:CreateToolbar("Studio: Create Suite")


local Storage = Instance.new("Folder", game.ReplicatedStorage)

Storage.Name = "Production_Storage"


local button0 = toolbar:CreateButton(
	"Unique_ID_0", 
	"Button_Tooltip", 
	"rbxassetid://5806779841", 
	"Button_Name"
)




local widgetInfo = DockWidgetPluginGuiInfo.new(
	Enum.InitialDockState.Bottom,  --: This is the initial dockstate of the widget
	false,  --: Initial state, enabled or not
	true,  --: Can override previous state?
	500,    --: Default width
	200,    --: Default height
	100,    --: Minimum width
	200     --: Minimum height
)



--: This will be the info of the widget we're going to create




local widget0 = plugin:CreateDockWidgetPluginGui("widget0", widgetInfo)
widget0.Title = "Production | Output"







script.Parent.MainFrame.Toolbar.Settings.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	widget0.Title = "Production | Settings"
	
end)

script.Parent.MainFrame.Settings.Close.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

	widget0.Title = "Production | Output"

end)

script.Parent.MainFrame.Parent = widget0

local function onButton0Click()
	
	
	
	if widget0.Enabled == true then
	
	widget0.Enabled = false
		
		
	elseif widget0.Enabled == false then
		
		widget0.Enabled = true
		
	end
		
end




button0.ClickableWhenViewportHidden = true


button0.Click:Connect(onButton0Click)

thats the main script if you want it. (Its not done)

#7

all u need to do is set this to false, this should work.

#8

is there anyway this can run any quicker?

#9

Hmm, what do you exactly mean?

#10

let me explain. I have a plugin that is basically an output 2.0, with loads of new features. i have a script in workspace that prints “hi”. When i run the game, it doesn’t show hi in my output (yes the output does work it handles errors warnings all that)

#11

Well, let’s discus this in PMs.
