📃 Lua Alpha

it would be nice if the uuid table had a generate function, similar to ll.GenerateKey . Mostly I've wanted it when I'm running slua offline, and don't have any uuid's available like ll.GetOwner Though, I could just use NULL_KEY and IMG_USE_BAKED_AUX1 and such there for testing, so, maybe this isn't a compelling reason

While I suspect allot of this is "to come" with the improved debugging features that have been "implied/promised" It would also be nice for scripts to be able to access some meta information about themselves. This in part came up during discussion of the new event system ( RFC ) on possible issues with os.clock() and ll.GetTIme() So I proposed a table with functions and or values for getting info about the script itself e.g type llscriptmeta = { compile : { time: number, -- Unix timestamp of script compile by: uuid, -- Who saved the script with: string -- Some version string of the compiler }, startTime: number, -- Unix Timestamp of script start (resets with ll.ResetScript) getUpTime: () -> number. -- Like ll.GetTime but with no luau caveats(resets with ll.ResetScript) bytecodeSize: number, --- Size of the bytecode in bytes ... }

Luau scripts have a lot more ways to crash than LSL scripts. I wrote this as a proof of concept on making LLTimers and LLEvents crash proof: https://gist.github.com/tapple/70b874b3801d6cbf103559287e85b964 It might be nice if there was a function like LLEvents:setDefaultErrorHandler(errorHandler) that did the same thing the above code does, without needing to wrap/monkey patch anything.
