This update rules

Haha.

At first, I thought it would be the viewport getting a ruler (as in inches or pixels). But it’s actually in the script editor!

Ok, so I get it now (after being confused for a bit). It’s at how many spaces you want to place the rulers. So, something like (4, 8, 12) would create this:

My only complaint about this is that is slices through code, which it shouldn’t. It should stop a couple of pixels away from the words in the whitespace.

I guess it can be useful for counting indentations. It’s a good way of lining up your code. Since the default indentation is 4 spaces, the rulers could be placed at multiples of 4. Awesome!

Keep it up, Roblox!

[PeZsmistic]

Appreciate the rulers albeit they’re a strange solution to indent guides. I guess you can also use them for line length guides as well. Two birds, one stone?

I really want to see a color setting for them though.

Add color setting for script editor ruler lines

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to visually parse my code with script editor rulers enabled. On a dark background such as with my script editor theme, the ruler lines are very bright and heavily contribute to visual noise and eyestrain. It’s very difficult for me to ignore these lines when I don’t need them because they are so bright. I really want to make these dotted lines a slightly darker color than the background so I can more easily filter them out while I’m working, but …

[ReturnedTrue (Tr_uth)]

Is this the Luau type? Or is DateTime being enabled in studio?

[ChipioIndustries (chipio)]

The client difference log doesn’t seem to be too fond of EnumItem additions.

I find the script editor rulers useful for fixing layouts but I’d rather not always have them visible, since they kind of clutter the screen. If anyone else wants it, I’ve made a simple plugin that toggles the ruler visibility with a simple keyboard shortcut.

Toggle Script Editor Rulers - Roblox

[UnderMyWheel (Wheely)]

I was excited when I first saw the script editor. However, I was disappointed when I tried to use it. The rulers are not automatically done and they go right through lines of code making it messy.

Preferably, it would be automated and only appear in areas of white space like it does in popular text editors such as Visual Studio Code.

example:

Just when you think Roblox added one of the most common features of other script editors and they do it incorrectly.

I don’t see how it can be used in any practical way in it’s current form.

@UnderMyWheel @TheRings0fSaturn

I think you’re thinking of “indent guides”. If you think that should be added to studio, you should make a feature request!

Rulers are just vertical lines and are meant to go through code like that. They’re very common in other editors (even VSCode has an "editors.rulers" setting). Usually people create a single ruler at either 80 or 120 (by convention). Then you try to make your code not go further than that ruler horizontally. This makes sure no one on your team (with potentially a smaller screen?) has to horizontally scroll to see everything.

It’s just considered good practice in most code editors to adhere to 80 or 120 line width. Rulers are meant to help you visualize that!

Generally, most people only use a single ruler, but it’s good that studio supports multiple for those that want it!

[UnderMyWheel (Wheely)]

Ah, okay! I did not know this.

Is there any particular reason rulers were prioritized over indent guides? Indent guides would seem a lot more useful for most developers compared to the rulers.
