I was randomly working on a chat system and discovered this syntax within a script, what is it used for? (I’m talking about @DonKingFrog)
I believe the @ sign serves no functional purpose at the moment. Can you provide an image of the original syntax in question?
I was using command line to add rich markups to the red TextLabel labeled with Don (@DonKingFrog): 12:00 AM
I copy & pasted the text from the TextLabel into CommandLine to adjust its color and and that’s where it first appeared highlighted:
Couldn’t find any resources online of what this could mean so I thought to ask here lol
I just wanted to know what its purpose is incase it’s useful in my scripts
I think I’ve seen code comments that kind of look like jsDoc in luau code before. Maybe Roblox uses a similar solution for their code and as a result highlight text after @ for readability. It’s a wild guess and probably false though. You can see an example of what I mean below.
That’s exactly what I had in mind but was disproven with an error

I’ve heard some talk about roblox adding comments to functions. So this might be an upcoming feature, similar to what @player356377 said.
seems no one in this thread is aware of @native ?
Could you elaborate or give me a link to what @native is?
Thank you for sharing this knowledge!!
Time to expand my knowledge
