We are continuing to watch the Lua Chat get removed lol

[be_nj (benjj)]

Rest assured, Lua chats aren’t going anywhere! We’re doing some work on this front, but nothing is ready to share yet.

[wravager]

Are we finally getting brand new materials while also being able to keep legacy games looking the same?

[Razorter]

Can someone explain what VisibilityService is? It sounds like occlusion culling to me.

[iGottic]

Curious… very curious…

[Hexcede]

I would guess probably just a more mixed approach at most, something like the lua-humanoid demo we saw with the Avatar Evolution studio build. Still lua, and still moddable, but assisted slightly by some helper instances.

Or it’s just not that.

Roblox didn’t have lua chat originally, then they invested a lot of time and effort (and still do) to make the lua chat function well, so, I don’t see Roblox turning that precedent around randomly.

[metatablecatmaid (metatablecat)]

Even if its not being removed, I found it pretty sus that they started adding these methods a short while after it came out how easy it is to spoof chatlog messages using it.

Of course, the Lua Chat itself is not being removed as you can still use it in your game. However, Roblox might start locking down features with it that you could previously modify. This is what we saw with the BubbleChat which is a shadow of it’s former Lua self.

Oh and this LuaPackage
