[Plugin] Studio Essentials

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. This issue is caused internally by Roblox.

While there’s been a problem with PluginMenus for a year now, it appears PluginMenus just stopped working at all.

For the time being, I have implemented a custom menu to replace the PluginMenu.

Fully understood,
Thanks for looking into it :slight_smile:

I really hate Roblox’s lackluster support for Plugins and plugin documentation.

As someone who works on an inside project to make studio better, (I cant say much about it), the missing documentation is a real issue.

  • They have addressed the issues with GetPath’s documentation, refusing to document it
  • DockWidgets and QWidgets (roblox’s internal version) have too many restrictions to make them completely useful
  • PluginMenus (now) are completely broken
  • There are too many plugin functions that are locked behind RobloxScriptSecurity, including but not limited to: plugin:PlaySound/plugin:PauseSound/plugin:StopAllSounds, PlayLocalSound is heavily restrictive.

Hey, for some reason it is not opening even though I redownloaded it. (edit, just saw the reply above.)

Finally, a plugin that can actually mirror models perfectly. Thank you for plugin!

With the mirror model feature, please implement motor6D and weld handling. That’s the only major problem I have with the plugin so far. I was disappointed that I had to re-rig the otherside of the model because the rigs were reset.
Additionally, change it that the pivot point of the models inside are mirrored as well

Thanks, this is the best plugin i’ve ever used. Will you ever update it if any future Roblox updates break any features to do with avatar stuff etc etc?

There seems to be an incredibly large issue with this plugin that will slow down my studio load times to 4-5 minutes per play test.
This is the only plugin that I had this problem with, just a fair warning to anyone using this in 2026. I do not recommend this plugin until this problem gets fixed.

It seems Roblox Studio reinstantiates the plugin during each playtest, on my side this comes with a performance penalty of 4-5 seconds, not minutes. I made some changes which fix it on my end. Can you update the plugin and confirm? If the issue persists, can you give steps to reproduce or a place file where it takes so much time?
