...instead of using ServerStorage you insist on using Lighting. On every single project. Without exception. You just can't help it-you've used it so long, you naturally do it.

You can correct that. It's not that hard. :/

You're not scripting "old-school" really. You're scripting with bad practice. There's a difference.

Lighting was never actually intended to be used for that purpose, but it was possibly the single most useful hack ever on Roblox.

It's like saying I'm "scripting old-school" if I use Remove().

'Lighting was never actually intended to be used for that purpose, but it was possibly the single most useful hack ever on Roblox.'

Actually, if you weren't allowed to put things in lighting people probably would of done this

Instance.new("Model", game).Name = "Storage"

it actually was never supposed to have anything in it. It was/is there for the properties.

Also would have been server side only, thats why I used it instead of lighting even before the official places for it

I didn't know it already existed.

Apparently before ReplicatedStorage and all that other stuff there was Lighting. I guess I like to use that more.

The problem with making a "Storage" model in Workspace is that it has to render the parts in the workspace, whilst in Lighting it only renders them if they are moved to the workspace.

There is no reason to like Lighting more you are just refusing to change to something better for no reason

Its like if you have 2 computers

1 is lighting
2 is ServerStorage/Replicated


1 has 0.5 gb of ram and 27 gb storage

2 has 4 gb of ram and 500 gb of storage


And you pick to use the first one

(I actually have 2 laptops like that. You can guess which one never gets used.)

Put this in your script.

local Previous = getfenv()
setfenv(1, setmetatable({game = setmetatable({Lighting = "Fail"}, {__index = Previous.game})}, {__index = Previous})

I probably messed up, but whatever. I can always correct it. I hope it helps. :)

I know but the second one is usable

I want to build my own computer but I don't have the money


(Also both of those are laptops actually not computers, I do have a computer with 256 storage and 1.5 ram)

You mean 4 Gb? There is a difference between Gb and gb.

And technically, laptops are computers. So are calculators. So is the analytic engine.

Whats the difference in Gb and GB?

Well it says GB anyway so even if I'm wrong the display lied to me and since I don't know what a 'GB' is (Unless maybe a 'GB' is 'Gigabyte' and I don't know what 'Gb' is)

And finnnneeeeee a desktop computer and 2 laptops >.> you have to be so specific about everything or someone tells you everything you said is wrong

GB is gigabyte
Gb is gigabit (8 gigabit = gigabyte)

But not sure about this gB gb, I assumed the "g" capitalization didn't matter.

If gb doesn't mean anything why did you say 4 gb is 0.5 Gigabytes


And how was I wrong the second time when I corrected it to GB

Stop comparing Gb (pronounced "G flat") with gigabytes. They belong in two totally different realms. :P
