(Note: I cannot post in the Bug Reports category so I am posting it here to get as many eyes on it as possible.)
Hello. I am dealing with a bug that is not Studio-breaking, but is kind of annoying when I’m trying to read the output window.
There is a server-side module script called “operator” parented to something called “mainGui”. This is not my script and mainGui is not accessible in Studio. This script creates 2 warnings:
Operator: LocalPlayer not available yet, retrying... - operator:31
&
Operator: LocalPlayer still not available. Cannot initialize. - operator:35
When I view the script the reason is obvious: it is a server-side (module) script trying to access the LocalPlayer which obviously isn’t possible.
Unfortunately, I can’t edit this script because it is not one of my own and is likely a back-end script for Studio.
Before you ask, I have tried restarting Studio and reinstalling it. It has done nothing to fix this bug.
This is the script:
local services = script.services
local primary = script.Parent.primary
local chatWindow = primary.chatWindow
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local tabCreationModule = nil
local dependencies = {}
local function getPlaceStorageFolder()
local placeId = game.PlaceId
local placeFolderName = (placeId == 0 and "LocalSession_0") or tostring(placeId)
local placeFolder = ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(placeFolderName)
if not placeFolder then
placeFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
placeFolder.Name = placeFolderName
placeFolder.Archivable = false
placeFolder.Parent = ServerStorage
end
return placeFolder
end
return {
initialize = function(plugin)
if not plugin then
warn("Plugin reference is nil!")
return
end
if not LocalPlayer then
warn("Operator: LocalPlayer not available yet, retrying...")
task.wait(0.5)
LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
if not LocalPlayer then
warn("Operator: LocalPlayer still not available. Cannot initialize.")
return
end
end
local placeFolder = getPlaceStorageFolder()
local NewMessageProcessedEvent = placeFolder:FindFirstChild("NewMessageProcessedEvent")
if not NewMessageProcessedEvent then
NewMessageProcessedEvent = Instance.new("BindableEvent")
NewMessageProcessedEvent.Name = "NewMessageProcessedEvent"
NewMessageProcessedEvent.Parent = placeFolder
