How to Use
Install:
Get it from the Creator Store (link coming when published)
Open Studio and look for “Scripting Plugins” in your toolbar
More features isn’t always better. Consider reducing the clutter by removing these features that are already built-in or aren’t necessary for most people:
Global Script Search (already exists in Explorer, Find in Place)
Find & Replace (already exists in Find in Place)
Script Backup System (already exists because each place version can be accessed, or by using the external IDE workflow)
Quick Script Navigator (umm you can already see what scripts are open)
Keyboard shortcuts per script (really not necessary and will be hard to remember)
Module Script Generator (everyone’s code style is different, you can’t please the majority of people with this)
‘Jump to a script’ (just press Ctrl + Shift + T to reopen closed script editors)
These are actually most of the features the plugin has. You really should focus on adding things that are genuinely useful and don’t already exist built-in. Ask for feedback in Help and Feedback > Creations Feedback about a specific feature you’re prototyping to see if it’s worth polishing and adding to the main plugin! You’re doing good, I just want the best for your creation.
You should work on this upcoming feature first, as it would be helpful to the most developers! There’s currently no easy way to debug large module dependency systems, and a visualization could really help crack down on cyclic reference bugs… especially with the new type checker.
This is also good, I already have some template modules I leave lying around when I want to create a new specific type of system. Here’s how I think this should work: 1: Select a module to make a template with. 2: Select a one or more variables (like “module”) that will be dynamic. 3: Give the template a name, description, icon, and search tags (like ui, sound, etc). 4: When creating from the template, fill out what all of the dynamic variables should be called. 5: Voilà! A new module is created with variable names already swapped to match the needs of the developer. 6: The widget with a list of created templates has a search filter and sort options: ["Recently Used", "Most Used", "Name"]. The search will read the name, description, and tags of each template. Not case sensitive and non-alphanumeric characters should be ignored.
Hopefully this feedback is considered, keep me updated!
Well it definitly be considered, I did not know that the find feature and search and replace feature existed in roblox studio. I know it alr existed in scripting but mine is for global wide in studio search it searches all your scripts in game not just a single script that youre in. Also Im pretty sure people are tired of just scrolling through and going through the version history and clicking on versions till they find one they want.
Also the purpose of the navigator plugin is to quickly open scripts that you alr closed and you dont wanna go back and look for them again
The built-in Find in Place widget searches all of the scripts in the game. You can also narrow it down by adding a script name filter alongside the script content filter. It also supports regex replacements with group patterns… so there’s no reason to make a better one in sandboxed Luau. It has everything you need!
