Plugin

Returns whether the user enabled Collisions in studio under the Model tab.

Returns the grid snapping size the user has set in Studio under the Model or Avatar tabs. Note that this property may have slight rounding errors; for example it may be 0.0099999997764826 for a user setting of 1 or 0.4000000059604645 for a user setting of 0.4.

This function sets the state of the calling plugin to activated. Activating the plugin allows mouse control through the Plugin:GetMouse() method.

At any given time there are either 0 or 1 Activated Plugins. Activating a plugin will deactivate all other plugins (they will receive a Plugin.Deactivation event).

See also:

• Plugin:IsActivatedWithExclusiveMouse(), returns true if this plugin is currently active with an exclusive mouse, after having been activated via this function
• Plugin.Unloading, fires immediately before the plugin is unloaded or reloaded via uninstallation, deactivation, or updating

This function creates a PluginAction which is an object that represents a generic performable action in Roblox Studio, with no directly associated Toolbar or Enum.Button. In Roblox Studio, they can be assigned a keyboard shortcut under File → Advanced → Customize Shortcuts…, and they can also be added to the Quick Access Toolbar.

When an action is triggered, the PluginAction.Triggered event is signaled.

In order for PluginActions work as expected, they must be created using this function.

See also:

• PluginMenu, a context menu that can be shown in Studio which displays a list of PluginActions and supports submenus
• Plugin:CreatePluginMenu(), creates a PluginMenu

Retrieves a previously stored value with the given key, or nil if the given key doesn't exist.

Because multiple instances of the same plugin can run simultaneously (for example, if multiple Studio windows are open), you shouldn't depend on this value staying the same over time. The other plugin instances can update the setting at any time.

This call can silently fail and return nil if multiple instances of the same plugin are actively reading and writing data. If your plugin expects to write to settings frequently, you should double-check the returned value from this call after a short while to distinguish between a setting being temporarily unavailable and a setting not existing.

Stores a given value for later use under the given key. The value will persist even after Roblox Studio is closed. These settings are saved in JSON format as a map with string keys. Arrays are automatically converted to maps by converting the numeric keys to strings first.

Note that the JSON format imposes additional restrictions, including the following characters which can corrupt the settings file:

• Backslashes (\) in keys or values, in particular escaped quotes (\").
• Newlines (\n) in keys.
• Quotes (") in keys.
• Periods (.) in keys.

This call can silently fail if multiple instances of the same plugin are actively reading and writing data. If your plugin expects to write to settings frequently, you may check that the data has been properly written by calling Plugin:GetSetting().

Fired when the Plugin is deactivated. This occurs when either the plugin code calls Plugin:Deactivate(), or because some other plugin called Plugin:Activate(), which forces all other plugins to lose their active state.

See also:

• Plugin.Unloading, fires immediately before the plugin is unloaded or reloaded via uninstallation, deactivation, or updating

This event fires immediately before the Plugin stops running. Plugins are unloaded when disabled, uninstalled, about to be updated, or when the place is closing.

It enables a plugin to clean up after itself before its scripts stop running, e.g. to remove unnecessary instances from the DataModel. If a plugin does not clean up properly, the old copies will remain. When this occurs, users may be forced to close and reopen the place which is a bad user experience.

Plugin-related instances such as PluginToolbarButtons, DockWidgetPluginGuis, and PluginGuis are automatically cleaned up when the plugin is unloaded so there is no need to remove them.
