http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Leaderboard

This page gives the false impression that leaderstats has to be an IntValue. It can in fact be any Instance.

Add a suggestion recommending that ClickDetector.MouseClick's first parameter be the Player who clicked.

The first one already says :

"Note: A NumberValue can be used instead of an IntValue. "

Does the leaderstats accept stringvalues and such? I never touch it these days being that I just make my own.


and the second one is about to go away for good, being that now not everyone can edit the wiki.

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/BevelMesh

Make this Class derive from DataModelMesh and add Properties Bevel, Bevel Roundness, and Bulge to this Class.

Then set its derived Classes to CylinderMesh and BlockMesh.

I'm talking about leaderstats. It can be any Instance.

As far as Children of leaderstats go, they can only be IntValues or the PlayerListScript CoreScript will crash. I am very knowledge about this issue. If you must, recreate your own leaderboard and use NumberValues instead of IntValues. I assure you, it won't work.

Sorry about the BevelMesh. I think I spaced out and assumed that the Properties weren't there.

Except this has no derived classes.

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/BevelMesh

It should have BlockMesh and CylinderMesh as its derived classes.

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Tables

I feel that this article should reference the fact that you can index tables with just about anything. strings, Instances, Vector3s, Color3s, etc

Example:

PlayersTable = {}

function onPlayerAdded(Player)
Players[Player] = true
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerAdded)

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/AutoColorCharacters_%28Property%29

Regardless of whether or not this Property is set to true or false, Players are Auto-Colored. In other words, this Property is 100% useless.

This does NOT hold the health bar. The health bar is in the player gui.

^ Actually it's possible that the HealthGui is cloned from CoreGui. I have to explore CoreGui more using the command bar to see. Hold that thought.

Mention the fact that this event can be triggered after the Humanoid has already died. (this is the case with KO scripts which trigger this event hundreds of times before respawn)

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Remove

I've never liked this page because of this

"Sets the Parent property to nil and calls Remove() on all children."

Is that what it ACTUALLY does? Then according to that logic, saying ".Parent = nil" wouldn't remove() all children, but it does.

If you wouldn't mind change it to

"Sets the Parent property to nil (which sets the Parent properties of all descendants to nil)." or somethign like that.

I honestly have no idea what straffing is, also recipient is nil every time I've checked before.

Region3 does have enough info to figure out how to use it, are you asking for a tutorial on how to use it?

Also that is actually what it does

local a=workspace.Stands.parts; print(a.Parent); workspace.Stands:remove(); print(a.Parent);

>Stands
>nil

local a=workspace.Stands.parts; print(a.Parent); workspace.Stands.Parent=nil; print(a.Parent);

>Stands
>Stands
