@@crusherfire1is it okay to only use strong tables if you have a custom function to manually cleanup a table by destroying references to objects inside of it?

[@KashTheKingYT]

I manually do garbage collection to assert my dominance and establish a superiority complex over other scripters

This is why I stopped scripting, too many sweats

Loved it. I just wish you could of went over why the keys can only be table values because of the way lua employs its garbage collection. None the less brilliant video

16:09, how tf did you replace everything at once? can you make a video showing off all of your settings and plugins?

[@crusherfire1]

Ctrl + Shift + R to rename variables

[@Avercile172]

Love your videos bro you’re awesome ❤

[@achannelfornobody3763]

Hey love your videos, can you make a video on anti exploits?

[@Noon1263]

11:20 i cant remember where i found this out from but apparently using the hidden parent argument, (although not much) impacts performance, makes sense as its hidden for a reason so.

[@crusherfire1]

Yeah it's from this devforum article: devforum.roblox.com/t/psa-dont-use-instancenew-with-parent-argument/30296 In my circumstance, it's fine to use because I'm not updating any other properties of the part.

[@maloni784]

Could you make a video about NPCs and how to add advanced behaviour to them.

[@2d-d313]

Is there any advantages of using weak tables instead of using a janitor module?

[@crusherfire1]

Trove and janitor are good for cleaning up runtime objects, but when you need to cache something related to a runtime object and want that cache to remove whatever it's storing when said object is destroyed, weak tables can be useful for that. Otherwise you'll just have to remember to manually remove it from your caches

[@user-dp1fz9pg1b]

assigning a variable to a setmetatable()? what does the variable refer to?

[@yesseruser]

In the other script has a reference part, doesn't the other script hold a different reference to the part than the main one?

it's going but on pause, but will start up active development again when it gets migrated into another group

[@artem-kt2gh]

its kinda a lazy way of cleaning stuff, you set it and forget it, i personally prefer stuff like trove but i can definitely see some people use it for its convenience

[@crusherfire1]

Yeah I always use trove for my objects created by classes but weak tables work great for temporary caching outside of the class when those objects are destroyed. Mainly what I use them for
