You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
-
What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I want to achieve a defined table with a Value and a Changed value that is returned from a method and can autofill when typing the Value or the Changed value without having to define the table and its values in the other script. -
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
It doesn’t autofill when I try to type Value or Changed
Desired result:
Result I get:

What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I have tried defining the type in many different ways, but every time it doesn’t autofill, except when I define the type in another script like this:
which is not what I want, I want it to be returned and instantly autofill without getting the type from another script.
I have tried looking for solutions but none of them worked.
It works perfectly, just no autofill.
My code:
export type datatype = {
Value: any,
Changed: RBXScriptSignal,
}
function playermetatable:AddData(DataName:string,Value:any,LoadData: boolean) : datatype?
local success,result = xpcall(function()
local_funcs.DebugPrint(`Adding data for user {self.Name} DataName:{DataName} Value:{Value} LoadData? {LoadData}.`,print)
local data:table = self.Data
data[DataName] = {}
local newData = data[DataName]
local valuename = "Value"
if LoadData and LoadData==true then
local datatoset = local_funcs.LoadDataForNewValue(self,DataName)
if datatoset and datatoset[valuename] then
newData[valuename] = datatoset[valuename]
else
newData[valuename] = Value
end
else
newData[valuename] = Value
end
local_funcs.DebugPrint(`Data successfully added for {self.Name}.`,print)
newData.Changed = signal().new()
data[DataName] = newData
setmetatable(data[DataName],valuefuncs)
newData = nil
print(data[DataName])
return data[DataName]
end,function()
return `Failed to add data for {self.Name}`
end)
if success then
return result
else
warn(result)
return nil
end
end
Edit: After a bit more testing, it seems that it has to do something with the metatable I use, a normal function or method returns the table and the autofill works, is there a way I could make this work with the metatable though?
