thank you for this response and i appreciate you laying out the issues in a more structured way.
a problem i bring up a lot in these posts is that a lot of models i pull out no longer work. a solution you offer is for Roblox to have a way to detect if scripts work or not. this sounds like the most realsitic and most popular solution, but the reason why many of these models don’t work anymore is because of updates Roblox has made over the years that have killed how a lot of old scripts work. if Roblox hadn’t changed the things they had, these models and their scripts would all work fine and dandy. with that being said, perhaps not ruining current functions whenever an upgrade is wanting to be made is a better long-term solution. introducing new upgrades while leaving old functions in-tact would mean that even old models from the early days of roblox would still work. if you want some examples, consider checking out a lot of the Gear on the catalogue/marketplace. the All-Seeing Sentry gear doesn’t work properly anymore since it runs on old scripts. A lot of the vehicles in the 2010 Starterplace no longer work properly because of Roblox “upgrades” from over the years. Everything mentioned worked perfectly fine at one point, and is now only broken because of updates. The same updates that broke these gears are the same exact updates that killed many old toolbox models
