--- Returns a clone of the object and its children, unless its Archivable property is false.
-- The clone will have the same properties as the original object and the same descendants (except those with an Archivable property set to false).
-- The clone's Parent will be nil.
-- Member of: Instance
function Clone() end

--- Returns the first child found with a name of name.
-- Returns nil if no such child exists.
-- If the optional recursive argument is true, will recursively descend the hierarchy while searching rather than only searching the immediate object.
-- Member of: Instance
function FindFirstChild(name, recursive)
  -- recursive defaults to false
end

--- Returns a read-only table of the object's children.
-- Member of: Instance
function GetChildren()
  return {}
end

--- Returns a coded string of the object's DebugId used internally by Roblox.
-- Member of: Instance
function GetDebugId()
  return ""
end

--- Returns a string with a dot (.) character separating a path of object hierarchy excluding "game".
-- Member of: Instance
function GetFullName()
  return ""
end

--- Returns true if the Instance is that class or a subclass.
-- Member of: Instance
function IsA(className)
  return false
end

--- Returns true if the object is an ancestor of _descendant_.
-- Member of: Instance
function IsAncestorOf(descendant)
  return false
end

--- Returns true if the object is a descendant of ancestor.
-- Member of: Instance
function IsDescendantOf(ancestor)
  return false
end

--- Sets the Parent property to nil, locks the Parent property, disconnects all connections and calls Destroy() on all children.
-- Member of: Instance
function Destroy()
end

--- Removes all descendants of the Instance, but leaves the Instance itself.
-- Member of: Instance
function ClearAllChildren()
end

Source: https://rbxlegacy.wiki/index.php/Beginners_Guide_to_Coroutines

This example uses `coroutine.wrap` to run two coroutines concurrently, each updating a UI element (Hint and Message) at different intervals. This showcases coroutines for managing simultaneous, time-based operations.

```Lua
local h = Instance.new("Hint", workspace);
local m = Instance.new("Message", workspace);

local changeHint = coroutine.wrap(function()
    for i = 60, 0, -1 do
       wait(0.5)
       h.Text = i
    end
end)
local changeMessage = coroutine.wrap(function()
    for i = 60, 0, -1 do
        wait(1)
        m.Text = i
    end
end)

changeHint()
changeMessage()
```

### Track Mouse Movement on a Frame GUI - Roblox Lua

Source: https://rbxlegacy.wiki/index.php/Beginner%27s_guide_to_GUI

This script extends the previous example by adding a MouseMoved event listener to the Frame GUI. It prints the mouse coordinates whenever the mouse moves over the frame.

```Lua
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
local f = Instance.new("Frame")
local s = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
f.Parent = s
s.Parent = Player.PlayerGui
f.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0)
f.Size = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0)
f.MouseMoved:connect(function(x, y)
print("Mouse moved to: ", x," " ,y)
end)
end)
```

### Roblox Building Tutorials

Source: https://rbxlegacy.wiki/index.php/Tutorials

Guides on creating and modifying game environments in Roblox. Covers essential building techniques like manipulating bricks, applying materials, and setting up game elements.

```Roblox Studio
-- How to Make Bricks You Can Walk Through
-- Use the Properties window to set CanCollide to false for a brick.
-- Example: Selecting a part and changing its property
-- local part = game.Workspace.Part1
-- part.CanCollide = false
```

```Roblox Studio
-- How to make Transparent Bricks
-- Use the Properties window to adjust the Transparency property (0 is opaque, 1 is fully transparent).
-- Example: Making a brick transparent
-- local transparentBrick = game.Workspace.Brick
-- transparentBrick.Transparency = 0.5
```

```Roblox Studio
-- How to Change Materials
-- Use the Properties window to select different materials for your bricks.
-- Example: Changing a brick's material to Wood
-- local woodBrick = game.Workspace.Brick
-- woodBrick.Material = Enum.Material.Wood
```

```Roblox Studio
-- How to Make a Door
-- Typically involves scripting to handle opening and closing.
-- Example: Basic door script concept (requires more setup)
-- local door = game.Workspace.Door
-- local isOpen = false
-- function toggleDoor()
--   if isOpen then
--     door.Transparency = 0
--     isOpen = false
--   else
--     door.Transparency = 1
--     isOpen = true
--   end
-- end
```

```Roblox Studio
-- How to Make Text on a Brick
-- Use the SurfaceGui and TextLabel objects.
-- Example: Adding text to a brick's surface
-- local brick = game.Workspace.TextBrick
-- local surfaceGui = Instance.new("SurfaceGui")
-- surfaceGui.Parent = brick
-- local textLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
-- textLabel.Text = "Hello!"
-- textLabel.Parent = surfaceGui
```

```Roblox Studio
-- How to Make Conveyor Belts
-- Use the Velocity property of a script or a BodyVelocity object.
-- Example: Applying velocity to a part
-- local conveyor = game.Workspace.ConveyorBelt
-- local velocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
-- velocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 10) -- Move along Z-axis
-- velocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(5000, 0, 5000)
-- velocity.Parent = conveyor
```

```Roblox Studio
-- How to Make a Trampoline
-- Use BodyVelocity or apply an upward force when a player touches it.
-- Example: Basic trampoline concept
-- local trampoline = game.Workspace.Trampoline
-- trampoline.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
--   local character = hit.Parent
--   if character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
--     local humanoid = character.Humanoid
--     humanoid.JumpPower = 50 -- Increase jump power
--   end
-- end)
```

```Roblox Studio
-- CFraming
-- Used for precise positioning and rotation of parts.
-- Example: Rotating a part 90 degrees on the Y-axis
-- local partToRotate = game.Workspace.Part
-- partToRotate.CFrame = partToRotate.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
```

```Roblox Studio
-- How to Make a Car
-- Requires VehicleSeat, Wheels, and potentially BodyVelocity/AlignPosition.
-- Example: Basic car setup (simplified)
-- local carSeat = game.Workspace.CarSeat
-- local wheel = game.Workspace.Wheel
-- -- Attach wheels and configure seat properties
```

### Lua While Loop with Wait

Source: https://rbxlegacy.wiki/index.php/Absolute_beginner%27s_guide_to_scripting

Provides an example of a Lua 'while' loop that runs indefinitely as long as the condition is true. It includes a 'wait()' function to prevent server crashes due to excessive processing.

```Lua
while true do
    print("Lagging up your computer...")

    wait(0.5)
end
```

### Anim8or Export Script Setup

Source: https://rbxlegacy.wiki/index.php/Making_Hats/Anim8or_Mesh_Exporter

This section guides users on how to set up the Anim8or export script. It involves saving the script with a .a8s extension and configuring Anim8or to recognize and preload it. The process is detailed for Notepad and the Anim8or interface.

```Roblox Script
/*
This script is for exporting meshes from Anim8or to the Roblox .mesh format.
It was created by Gamer3D.

Instructions:
1. Save this script as an .a8s file (e.g., anim8or_export.a8s).
2. In Anim8or, go to File > Configure... > Scripts.
3. Click the '...' button next to Scripts and select your .a8s file.
4. Check the 'Preload Scripts' box and click OK.
5. Close and reopen Anim8or. A success message should appear in the 'Anim8or Debug Output' window.

This script handles mesh export, including vertex data, face data, and UV coordinates.
It is designed to be compatible with the Roblox engine.
*/

--[[ Configuration --]]
local exportFileName = "mesh.mesh"

--[[ Main Export Function --]]
function ExportMesh()
    local mesh = Anim8or.GetSelectedMesh()
    if not mesh then
        Anim8or.Log("No mesh selected.")
        return
    end

    local file = io.open(exportFileName, "w")
    if not file then
        Anim8or.Log("Failed to open file for writing: " .. exportFileName)
        return
    end

    -- Write header
    file:write("version 1\n")

    -- Write vertices
    local vertices = mesh:GetVertices()
    for i, v in ipairs(vertices) do
        file:write(string.format("v %.6f %.6f %.6f\n", v.x, v.y, v.z))
    end

    -- Write texture coordinates (UVs)
    local uvs = mesh:GetUVs()
    for i, uv in ipairs(uvs) do
        file:write(string.format("vt %.6f %.6f\n", uv.u, uv.v))
    end

    -- Write faces (triangles)
    local faces = mesh:GetFaces()
    for i, f in ipairs(faces) do
        -- Assuming faces are triangles and vertex indices are 1-based
        file:write(string.format("f %d/%d %d/%d %d/%d\n", f.v1, f.uv1, f.v2, f.uv2, f.v3, f.uv3))
    end

    file:close()
    Anim8or.Log("Mesh exported successfully to " .. exportFileName)
end

--[[ Register the export command --]]
Anim8or.RegisterCommand("ExportRobloxMesh", ExportMesh)

--[[ Example of how to call the export function (e.g., via a button or menu item) --]]
-- Anim8or.RunCommand("ExportRobloxMesh")

--[[ Debug output simulation --]]
-- Anim8or.Log("Compiling \"C:\\Users\\file\\anim8or_export.a8s\":\n61 lines 0 errors")

--[[ End of script --]]
$result=1;

### Create and Position a Frame GUI - Roblox Lua

Source: https://rbxlegacy.wiki/index.php/Beginner%27s_guide_to_GUI

This script creates a Frame GUI, positions it in the center of the screen, and sets its size to half the screen's dimensions. It utilizes the UDim2 object for positioning and sizing.

```Lua
local r = Instance.new("Frame")
r.Position = UDim2.new(.5, 0, .5, 0)
r.Size = UDim2.new(.5, 0, .5, 0)
```

### Create Roblox Plugin with Toolbar and Button

Source: https://rbxlegacy.wiki/index.php/Add_Ons

This snippet demonstrates the fundamental steps to create a Roblox plugin. It initializes a plugin instance, creates a toolbar, and then adds a button to that toolbar. The button is configured with hover text and an associated icon file. Finally, it connects a function to the button's Click event, which prints 'Hello, World!' to the output when the button is pressed.

```Lua
local plugin = PluginManager():CreatePlugin()
local toolbar = plugin:CreateToolbar("Hello World Plugin")
local button = toolbar:CreateButton("", "Click this button to print Hello World!", "IconName.png")

button.Click:connect(function()
	print("Hello, World!")
end)
```
