This would be a new type of script that runs only in studio and has plugin permissions. When inserted from the toolbox studio would ask if it’s okay to run the script and the user would respond through a dialog (like how studio asks where to put Tools). If the users says it’s okay the script runs, and studio remembers the permissions the next time the user inserts that object from the toolbox.
The purpose of this is to create higher-quality free models. I have a lot of cool ideas but many of them require specific behaviors that can only be accomplished through plugins. The self-connecting power lines I posted about, for example, can’t be previewed in studio because their lines can’t be generated because the scripts can’t run. Sure you can “run” the game but that’s a huge inconvenience and your changes won’t save.
Some other things I’d like to use this for are a self-connecting roller coaster track that allows the user to place the car directly onto the track - two more things which are currently impossible without plugins.
I think if the model maker system is going to take off there needs to be more options for interactive and procedural building and game making, Currently the extent of free models is that you place bricks on other bricks, and that system simply doesn’t allow for high-quality models to be used from the toolbox.
