Hey devs, I started making an “extension” for my plugins that shows an explorer window, like file explorer. You can call it from your own script with a function
ExplorerPlugin:ExplorerWindow(startInstance?, minSelectCount?, maxSelectCount?) : {Instance}
The Gui looks like that:
I created it for my plugin Scratch Visual Script Editor.
What do you think about it? Have you some ideas to make it better? How about the Gui?
Do you think that I should make it open source?
Thanks for your feedbacks!
I like the idea but the question is, the tree s already an Explorer in Studio, so why do we need another? It’s good tho, never seen anybody do this, good job!
it’s because It will appear when the user will have to select a part.
If you are for exemple making a plugin that change color of parts, you will be able to call this explorer view to be shown, and the user will be able to browse inside of it and then select the part he wants to change the color (it’s an exemple) and confirm (I havn’t made the button yet)
I do find this nice as another form of browsing through the explorer.
A suggestion would be to see if you can implement/use given custom icons through the roblox studio preferences? And maybe displaying tags and attributes by the names of the objects?
oh I love the idea, I will do this! thanks you!
Ok, then add something that the normal Explorer doesn’t have, a few suggestions are:
Tags or something like that
A select all/replace all option, like you use the filter and then you can do command + A and you select all
A way of selecting with the selection box that is easier
I don’t have any more ideas right now
do you think you can help me to continue this project?
What do you mean? If you mean work with you on this I can’t for 2 reasons:
First I’m not a good Programmer, I’m still learning and
Second I don’t have much free time to work on this
But if you ever need help for ideas just ask here
add a note for deprecated content like this
SetPrimaryPartCFrame() is deprecated, Use PivotTo() instead
ok no problem, I asked because I don’t have time tho, but thanks for the ideas you gave me !
what do you mean by adding a note ?
a notice when you are about to add some deprecated content
but you can’t add deprecated content it’s an explorer like the Roblox Studio’s one, you just see all the Instances in the game
Update!
Corrected an issue when renaming an instance
Update:
Added copy, past , cut, duplicate
Wow! It looks good! Have you tried working on something like tags or soemthgin like taht or are you still doing the base features? Keep up the good work!
i will now make the tag system ! thanks for
for the idea!
yes I’m working on it ! I have designed the ui
