Studify is a Library with the aim of making it fast and simple to convert studs to real world metrics such as meters and inches and vice versa. It is an open source project on GitHub.
Getting Started
Setting up a Studify project is very simple we have a guide on our website.
Our website includes documentation in the form API references. Our documentation also includes the formulas used for each function if you would like to script the conversions yourself.
On Bolt’s GitHub we encourage all developers to use the issues and the discussion sections. Please post you issues in the issues tab and all Q&A’s, feature requests, etc. in the discussions section.
Comments
I would like to thank this article for providing the inspiration for making this library:
Please feel free to leave suggestions as to what I should add. It would really help. If you would like to support this project feel free to visit ICrann | Donate
Thank you everyone for showing your interest in the project
This is an awesome converter, but the measurements are backwards. your api and script claim that “studs * .28 = meters” but “meters * .28 = studs”. that isn’t super useable for your code so 1/.28 is 3.571428571. So studs * 3.571428571 = meters. Here are some pics from game settings to prove my point.
This should be a simple fix as you just have to replace all instances of .28 with 1/.28 or the mouthful of a number 3.571428571. I hope I helped you out with this cool converter.
Edit: I Shouldn’t be doing math late at night, and I should actually give it a test before I make a comment. Studs are larger than meters and I should have known right away my thought process was whack. I usually end up making mistakes on the simplest of things lol. My bad sorry for the useless criticism comment.
The values I use are from this topic: How To Convert Studs To Real World Units I have checked and made sure that these values are correct from multiple sources.
This is a little suggestion from me. But I think that Studify would be way more useful if it was turned into a plugin. As if it was a plugin it would make it for sure more efficient than doing the unit conversion outside of Roblox.
The whole point of Studify as a library is to be used in code. For example if making a car Roblox only provides studs per second however you may want to provide kilometers per hour, this is where Studify comes in.
Yeah, I fully understand that this is a library but it would be smart to make a plugin alongside the library because that would help a bunch of people. Also, a plugin would provide a decent amount of convenience that would be great for Developers.
