I'm wondering what people's opinions are
And when I say building, I mean making trees, >>>scripts<<<, ropes, just plugins that insert stuff for you. |

| Yeah, that's why you don't tell anyone you did it. |

um Doesn't this belong in building helpers or game design? Anyway, yes I do believe that using plugins is cheating because it doesn't reflect your building abilities. |

Well - I'd say it depends on how much the plugin lets your imagination roam free. If the plugin gives you a set of restrictions, making your (and other's) building experience the same, then it's no good.
Yes - I use plugins for working with parts (you know the ones out there, CmdUtl, Build v3/4, F3X, or whichever is plugins or not).
Though if you imagine making something, try get the result you want - not an enforced result by not being able to get the desired design by that particular plugin.
- As, _G.g() is a shortcut for Selection:Get()[1] :o ch34t1n. |

| Personally, I was thinking about the rope builder plugin. It makes those CFramed hanging rope/wire things for you. |

| No. I wouldn't say so... They're tools FOR building. |

Typical of builders LOL
Whoever says building plugins are cheating should have all building tools removed, so just an object browser and the command bar I think. |

| Using plugins to speed up the building process is not cheating. |

| Plugins are not free models since they usually generate based off of user input or do task quickly. |

| @Nik: If it was, then you would also be stating that every game development company that has used 3DS Max(this includes ROBLOX), pre-built game engines, etc have cheated. That's basically everyone -- scratch that -- it is everyone. |

| If using plugins is cheating, then to not cheat you must build your own computer and program your own OS, make your own Roblox place editing and testing software, and make your own tools for it. Those who say it is cheating are butt-hurt about not being the 'best' because someone else found or developed a tool that 1-Ups the one they use. |

It's cheating in a way, it would show more skill if you built the trees, and ropes by yourself. Or at least make your own plugin to create those things. It's not really that bad though. |

@dog: It all boils down to the creator's goal -- If he/she wants to show off his/her abilities, then it could be considered cheating; however, if the creator wants to make the most enjoyable game possible, then these sorts of plugins would allow them to further their goal by allowing concentration to be focused on more important matters.
(That's one sentence by the way) |

| K that'll tell dem FM nub builders. Also, reinvent every single concept/idea. That means that your own big bang isn't good enough. |
