I hope someone can help.
I’m developing a plugin and I have experienced that at least one previous script is still running after I change the script and re-save as local plugin. So 2 or more copies are running parallel, and the invalid (old) ones spams errors as many objects are missing in their environment.
It is quite annoying and I haven’t find any way to close/destroy/delete etc. a plugin object when I don’t need it an more.
As I understand it could be automatically handled by the Studio, but it seems it doesn’t do it in the way I imagined.
(I tried many ways, like :Destroy the previous plugingui / plugin object at plugin start, but it doesn’t help).
May you know any topic about it, just drop a link to it!
I haven’t found any solution or even anything about the problem itself.
Yeah, it’s incredibly annoying my solution is to close the place and open it again every time I really need the old plugin instances to go away so I can actually use the Output window.
This reminds me, back in the day I used to use HotSwap v2.0.2 - Roblox for plugin dev, no idea if it still works but I’ll check it out and report back when I have time.
Thank you for the feedback, so I’m not alone with the problem.
I haven’t tried to close the place and open again, it is a good idea as a bit faster workaround. I’ll try it.
Anyway, I’ll check out Hotswap too.
I don’t want to give up developing this plugin but I can’t continue it in this way.
+1 minute is too much for each test run.
TY so much! The shortcut editor is new to me, I’ve set the ‘save as local plugin’ - this is sg new and useful to me in general! It seems there is no real solution to the core problem, so I marked your workaround as a solution, ty again!
