Deprecation. On August 19, 2016, Roblox deprecated old terrain, due to its low usage and high maintenance cost. It was scheduled to be removed on January 1, 2017.
Deprecation is when a class or a member of a class is superseded by another class or member of a class (mostly for compatibility & features) and is discouraged by Roblox to use such class or member of a class.
On Roblox, the term "local part" designates a BasePart that is local to one. Player, that is, that can only be seen and interactable by that player.
Code in Roblox is written in a language called Lua and is stored and run from scripts. You can put scripts anywhere — if you put a script in a part, Roblox will run the code in the script when the part is loaded into the game. Hover over your Part in the Explorer and click the button.
Yeah, they are pretty useful for making scripts with unintended behaviour. Not anymore, they're all being deprecated in favor of the task library.
Some of you have already noticed that Humanoid:LoadAnimation, AnimationController:LoadAnimation, and all the other animation related APIs on Humanoid and AnimationController were marked deprecated.
Show deprecated. An instance which is used to hold a boolean value. The value can be used for many things, including to communicate between scripts.
Lua allows you to customize the behavior of tables (and other values) by setting a metatable using the setmetatable function, but you have to pass the table as a parameter somehow. _G helps you do that.
Synapse X. One of the most, if not the most, popular script executors for Roblox, and in general, is Synapse X. Not only is it reasonably priced at $20 with an impressively fast injection and read speed, Lua script capabilities, and sleek user interface (UI), it's also considered a safe download.
Yes. The Roblox scripting language is a mixture of C++ and Lua, so you would ideally want some sort of familiarity with either of both of these programming languages to create a game for Roblox.
Roblox scripting is not as hard to learn as other programming languages might be. But you will need to commit time and effort. How long it takes to learn Roblox scripting is not an easy question to answer, because it all boils down to how much effort and time you put into it.
C++ is known to be one of the most difficult programming languages to learn over other popular languages like Python and Java. C++ is hard to learn because of its multi-paradigm nature and more advanced syntax.
Stores a double value in its Value member. Value is clamped to be in range of Min and MaxValue. Useful to share double information across multiple scripts. This class became deprecated on May 24, 2017.
The maximum we allow this Value to be set. If Value is set higher than this, it automatically gets adjusted to MaxValue.
The minimum we allow this Value to be set. If Value is set lower than this, it automatically gets adjusted to MinValue.
Used to hold a number value between DoubleConstrainedValue/MinValue and DoubleConstrainedValue/MaxValue
Determines if an Instance can be cloned using /Instance/Clone or saved to file.
Create a copy of an object and all its descendants, ignoring objects that are not Instance/Archivable|Archivable
Sets the Instance/Parent property to nil, locks the Instance/Parent property, disconnects all connections and calls Destroy on all children.
Returns the first ancestor of the Instance whose Instance/Name is equal to the given name.
Returns the first ancestor of the Instance whose Instance/ClassName is equal to the given className.
Returns the first ancestor of the Instance for whom Instance/IsA returns true for the given className.
