Script reverting to earlier versions

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Since I’m unable to post studio bug reports, I decided I’d post this here.

I had a script with over 500 lines of code which took a few hours to make since it was about many different parts of the game such as replicating GUI to the client, loading the character via :LoadCharacter(), a door handler which took a lot of time to script, and I can go on and on.

When I went on my PC after waking up and going into studio, I got a message about some sort of “scriptlock failure” but I just pressed X and didn’t care. However, later, I checked the script (GameController) which had reverted to an earlier version for no reason… Can someone help please? I don’t want to have to rewrite 400+ lines of code.

Check your autosaves folder. Were you working in Team Create by any chance?

#3

I was working in team create and I already tried looking in the autosaves folder, however, the version I had 500+ lines of code in that script is nowhere to be seen in that folder.

#4

Forgot to mention, I applied edits to the script and published the game.

#5

Maybe try downloading an earlier copy of your place through its Version History? (it’s under “Configure Place”)

#6

This worked! But why did this happen…? This should probably be fixed soon to prevent more bugs like this happening.

#7

Usually a consequence of forgetting to commit your scripts in Team Create. There’s also “Script History”, which you can view by right-clicking the script in explorer and navigating to the button.
