I commonly use Vector3:Lerp(), but I rarely see anyone else using it.

What's one that you use? Maybe we can all learn about it :D

"Linear exterpolation"

I don't know what you said.

But I think it was an insult.

newproxy, even though it isn't a method.

Why it's obscure? Duh, because it's not even documented in the official Lua reference!

I don't think I've ever used an obscure method on Roblox... I mean, I suppose the most obscure methods I've used were in my scriptbuilder, which were:

getfenv
setfenv
coroutine functions.

And those aren't very obscure.

I agree with Varp, those are the most obscure methods I've ever used, and their not to obscure.

A better question is what are the most obscure errors you commonly get.

"Most obscure errors you commonly get"
I don't get obscure errors. I rarely get errors at all, in fact. If my script is broken, I (usually) have to debug the logic :/ Although, the most common error I get is:
Attempt to index local something (a nil value)

Something to do with me forgetting to pass arguments correctly =P

Well lucky you merlin. I hate in as3 when it gives you "Attempt to compre object with table index that is possibly unrelated"

Actually, Lerp is Linear Interpolation. Similar, but different.
