UserSettings

not creatable

UserSettings is a singleton object that is used to house basic user settings, which persist across all games. Currently, it only stores the UserGameSettings object.

You can retrieve a reference to this object via the UserSettings() function, which returns it.

UserGameSettings Listener

local gameSettings = UserSettings().GameSettings
local function onGameSettingChanged(nameOfSetting)
-- Fetch the value of this setting through a pcall to make sure we can retrieve it.
-- Sometimes the event fires with properties that LocalScripts can't access.
local canGetSetting, setting = pcall(function()
return gameSettings[nameOfSetting]
end)
if canGetSetting then
print("Your " .. nameOfSetting .. " has changed to: " .. tostring(setting))
