Wally problem -VSCode!

[TheRealBroman_roblox (Sus_Broman)]

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

Lately I wanted to transition from scripting in Roblox Studio to VSCode using Rokit,. by following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJDg6tRJmHo

2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

Everytime I add wally to rokit and try to init(initialize) it, it doesnt work:

3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Creator Hub?

I tried many solutions with terminals and powershell..

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

--PS C:\Users\khong\OneDrive\Documents\RobloxProjects\Game> wally init
ERROR The system cannot find the path specified. (os error 3)

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

Bro!

No need to use wally!

You can use roblox’s built in feature called Script Sync.

First, in studio, go to File > Beta Features> Script Sync, And Save

In studio, right click the script you will be editing in vscode, and choose either:-

Create a new file and for example save it to desktop called abc.lua

then just open that script in VSCode!

every single time you hit Ctrl+S the script automatically updates in Roblox Studio.

And every single character you type in studio automatically updates in VSCode.

Good day

Really? how would i save folders like this like ReactLua:

[zoharee4 (Optiplxrr)]

yup, react.lua, .lua is the filetype

[TheRealBroman_roblox (Sus_Broman)]

Thank you so much bro! saved me so much time instead of trial and error

[TheRealBroman_roblox (Sus_Broman)]

wait bro how about the ones in folders

[zoharee4 (Optiplxrr)]

Use sync with directory,

Right click the big parent folder

And sync with directory (Make sure 2 scripts dont have the same name, as later that would clash at file directory)

Choose any folder and save.,

In VSCodeOpen Folder, and now you have the whole folder (ignore the -legacy at the filenames, that wont affect the name of script in studio, thats just the run-context)

Good day and you are welcome

I would highly recommend looking into troubleshooting the issue with Wally.

Don’t you lose a lot of Roblox related perks by using Visual Studio, like Intelli sense?

[TheRealBroman_roblox (Sus_Broman)]

I tried many methods but it couldnt be fixed ):

[TheRealBroman_roblox (Sus_Broman)]

I dont know why but I could think more clearly with VSCode, I just dont know lol

[Wyzloc]

Interesting, I’ll have to check that out then.

[xntcss (vencrae)]

Not at all, it allows developers to use other tooling like Version Control which imo the most important. You can ask any other developer who use VSCode or an IDE which they prefer & they’ll tell you straight.

[TheRealBroman_roblox (Sus_Broman)]

I cant still troubleshoot this do you have any suggestions?

[xntcss (vencrae)]

Are you in the Roblox OSS Discord Server? You’d definitely be able to get help there.

Ok i will definitely check it out
