To get autocompletion of datamodel descendants, install this plugin in Roblox Studio, then when the vscode extension is running (you have to open a .lua file first), click in the button Connect in the Toolbar.
And that’s all you need to do.
Now it’s showing this. I’m not sure how to start it. I had a lua file open before clicking Connect. The host is corrcetly set.
I don’t have Lua by sumneko installed. I only have your extension installed.
Add me on Discord: Nightrains#8846
What vscode extension exactly? Since it’s just stuck at connecting.
Edit - Nevermind, got that working
Looks like the latest version broke highlighting of certain things, making my code a lot tougher to read in a lot of situations.
LSP at 0.14.1 or earlier (how it looked before, how I want it):
LSP at 0.14.2 or later (everything’s the same color in most of my themes now):

I already noticed it and it’s internally fixed, but I’m making improvements to semantic highlighting before publishing the new update.

Roblox LSP is used individually, you don’t need your team to use it too, but whoever wants to use it can do it.
If you mean developing a game for Roblox using an external code editor, Roblox LSP doesn’t do anything, it just provides Intellisense among other things, what you have to use for that is Rojo.

Yea, sure
But if we are VSC live sharing, and everyone uses the Roblox LSP Plugin, will it be an issue?
I don’t think so, like all other language servers, Roblox LSP sends to VSCode information to do actions like Go To Definition, Autocompletion, Hover, etc, if that was a problem, then no extension that provides those things would work properly.
the way vsc live share works, only the environment of the host is shared with other users- you’d just be using the host’s extensions
@Nightrains, I’ve added a .rbxmx file to my file system, is that supported through Roblox LSP, as it doesn’t seem to work with Roblox LSP but is Rojo supported.

No it’s not supported yet, definitely one day, Rojo support only work with .lua, .txt and .model.json files.
Rojo supports .rbxmx, just not Roblox LSP I’ve found.
But thanks.
