Roblox Explorer in VS Code!

You should include credits to the icon pack you’re using. You’re using Vanilla 3 by Elttob, but you don’t mention this anywhere in the topic, in the plugin description or the extension description.

because it works fine and always has worked fine without any issues? if you cant even trust roblox with version control, how are you even trusting them with your game at all? atp just leave

You’re right I forgot to include it Thanks for the reminder

I absolutely love this :rofl:
It is scarily based though…

I trust them with my game because creating a game engine and distributing games is what they’re best at. Version control is not what they are best at and anything they could create could never compare to third party tooling created specially for version control, that have had decades to perfect their technology by people dedicated specifically to that purpose.

Maybe I missed it somewhere in the thread, but does this support opening scripts from the explorer?

Does this include property editor?
Actually there is another plugin like this that does allow property editing but it’s paid.
Overall, goated

That’s a normie path.

Not all programmers are normies.

I always hated Rojo, for example, and I always disliked over-abstraction, but I lacked the knowledge back then to disagree.

I also always hated Roblox TS and anything that strips control from you.

There are a lot of people with similar stories like mine, but yeah, normie devs are still the majority. Unfortunately, either you become aware of things such as ego and lower its influence over your decisions, or you get turned into a normie by that ego.

I don’t understand how ‘seeing’ your Roblox explorer in VSCode is helpfull?

In what world would you only need to read what is going on in Roblox? You can’t do anything with this plugin except read your Roblox projects directory files.

In what world is not having to constantly switch between studio and VSCode to reference your game’s hierarchy NOT helpful?

But you can’t edit anything, you can only view the directory.

This doesn’t add editing in VSCode though

If I’m viewing the explorer in VSC, I don’t intend to edit it anyway, I only intend to use it as a reference when I am trying to programatically manipulate instances in my game via code, which makes this really helpful.

:bell: Update – New Features Added

Summary of Improvements:

  • Double-click to open scripts
    Scripts in the Explorer now open directly in VS Code with a double-click.
  • Built-in automatic sync
    Any changes saved in VS Code are automatically reflected in Roblox Studio so you no longer need to use Studio Script Sync

This update simplifies the workflow by making VS Code the primary editor with direct automatic synchronization to Roblox Studio

Edit

and now ?

Does it also sync from Roblox back to vsc?
