roblox-ts

A TypeScript-to-Luau Compiler for Roblox

 

Introduction

roblox-ts is an attempt to bridge the abilities of TypeScript to work in a Roblox environment. We break down your code into an abstract syntax tree and emit functionally similar structures in Luau so that the code behaves the same.

services's Issues

Has no exported member 'StarterPack'

StarterPack is never declared or exported. Even though it has no functionality other than that which it inherits from Instance, it can still be referenced in Roblox with game.GetService, e.g.: starterPack = game:GetService("StarterPack"). For this reason, StarterPack should be able to be imported from rbx-services like any other service.

Incorrect return type on TeleportService.TeleportAsync()

Per https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/TeleportService/TeleportAsync, this function should return a TeleportAsyncResult but it is currently typed as returning void.

UserSettings and UserGameSettings

I need to manipulate some camera settings at certain times. Here you can see some discussion of how to achieve that through the UserSettings.UserGameSettings.RotationType

I noticed such service is not exposed in roblox-ts/services. Is there any way it could be added? Or, did I miss some way that functionality is already exposed elsewhere?

References:
RotationType - what I want to tweak
UserGameSettings - contains the above
UserSettings - contains the above

Thanks! 🍺

CoreGui missing

Would it be possible to add the CoreGui? I'm currently working using stories & Hoarcekat (the user interface that is being tested is under CoreGui) and I'm looking to use the method from this service, GetGuiObjectsAtPosition().

Thanks

ScriptEditorService missing

As stated in the title, it seems ScriptEditorService is missing from this package.

The documentation for ScriptEditorService is here, proving of its existence. To be fair though, it was only fully released back in October.
