It’s incredibly common to see status features for social apps such as Discord, Instagram, and more, but what about something in a development engine?
Say hi Studio Status, a simple, non-intrusive, and easy-to-use plugin for setting social statuses in Roblox Studio.
Your status appears over your team-create head like so:
How do you set a status, you might say? Well, with this awesome plugin:
It’s as simple as that. Your status saves and everybody in your team create session can see it (including you, if you want), even if they don’t have the plugin!
What’s Changing In The Future?
You can expect these changes on the roadmap:
Commands (including the ability to not have a plugin button in your toolbar at all, and have it replaced with said commands)
Advanced status customization, such as colors, fonts, etc.
Emoji status presets
View focus visualization
Accessibility features
And more!
If you want specific changes, make sure to request them in DMs or in the replies below.
Get Started
This is the hardest part (and it’s easy)… just get the plugin on the creator store:
Will others need the plugin to see this? I don’t mind, but it would be better as a setting if it’s just on-screen UI. Also, it’s a little thick so it might be distracting.
As for the UI, I think it looks great. One piece of feedback I could give is to change the eye icon (might be a me thing, but I’ve always found it weird seeing my screen stare back at me).
Something I was considering is that users of the plugin can have a setting to convert the 3D billboard status of others into a 2D widget or GUI on-screen that’s minimal. Also, I was thinking of adding another similar setting for turning off the status of others.
Others should be able to click the selection icon to select what you have selected/what you’re editing.
It could be a setting, but I feel like it would be a useful addition for some scenarios instead of just being text on a screen.
We should be able to customize the size of the status.
We should be able to create custom automatic statuses.
For example, instead of “Currently working on something…” I would be able to custom set it to “I’m working on:”
The commands should be listed in TextBoxes so they are easily copyable.
Unrelated to the above, I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong but commands just don’t work. Am I supposed to use them in the command bar? I printed shared but I see no functions from this plugin.
