Studio Status || A social-like status feature for Roblox Studio

Studio Status :speech_balloon:

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:

RobloxStudioBeta_T9dPXii6Mo

How do you set a status, you might say? Well, with this awesome plugin:

RobloxStudioBeta_ROTvbAlJy5

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 :tada:

This is the hardest part (and it’s easy)… just get the plugin on the creator store:

That’s all! Enjoy :>

Could there be an option to switch between an automatic and manual status? The automatic status could detect and show:

  • “Editing [script name]”
  • “Working in the workspace”
  • “Working on UI”
  • “Idle for [time]” – could detect when they’re idle if they haven’t moved or made no script changes, though this could be challenging

This could be useful to just have the plugin running in the background and let it give a brief overview of what you’re working on!

Absolutely, please add, would be cool for checking to see if my devs are actually doing anything lol

Done and updated, except separated as two features:

  • Automatic status
  • Status type colors (online, away, and offline)

Enjoy!


Edit: I do have one feedback question, actually, while I have your attention here.

I’m thinking of changing the status design so that it’s a more sleek-looking box rather than plain text. Here is a concept I threw together:

Thoughts?

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.

That was fast, thank you!

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).

Maybe these deliver the same idea of a selection?

These are just suggestions, it’s up to you in the end!

Nope.

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.

I might use one of these exact icons, thank you so much!

Update: New status UI!

The status UI element has been updated, and will apply once you update the plugin.

It looked like this before:

And now looks like this:

Hoping this is a net-positive change, feel free to reply below to leave any feedback!

Hello! Really cool plugin but could you add a few adjustments?

  • Option to disable automatic sizing (size of billboard stays consistent)
  • Max distance input (for how far you can see the billboard)
  • Themes? Adjusting what the text font is and text colour as well as background, etc.
