Some questions about Argon

[MohamedBannona]

1. How do I make argon either ignore instances in studio or sync it with its properties

I had a ScreenGui in ReplicatedStorage and when I connect argon it synced it to the file system without its properties just the ClassName, next time I connected it reset the properties of my gui

2. I can't get argon sourcemap to work properly

I do argon sourcemap default.project.json -w -o output.json --async and it just outputs it to the console

3. Is there any usecase for roblox model files outside of building a plugin?

I get you might want to use model files for assets to build a plugin but I can't think of anything else that can't be done easier without it

4. How do people require like this

require"@Shared/Module"

I've seen it done in some docs, maybe it was just an example, but I've seen some code small code snippets doing it too. I think this might be a luau-lsp thing, but while I'm at it ig.

1. How do I make argon either ignore instances in studio or sync it with its properties

To ignore instances take a look at Syncback Settings that you can specify in your project.json.

To sync properties enable the following settings (Roblox Studio plugin):

• Two-Way Sync
• Sync properties

I know it's misleading but this will be fixed in future updates.

2. I can't get argon sourcemap to work properly

Looks like it's a bug, will fix it in 2.0.18. Temporarily you have to remove the --async option.

3. Is there any usecase for roblox model files outside of building a plugin?

If you are talking about the build command then I listed some other use cases here. If you mean Roblox Model file type, they are useful to store bulk data e.g. your entire game.Workspace.

4. How do people require like this

I think it might have been a lune script, though I'm not sure. Anyway, it's not related to Argon as it currently doesn't touch module resolving.

Renamed Sync properties option to Syncback Properties which no longer requires Two-Way Sync setting.

2. I can't get argon sourcemap to work properly

Fix available in version 2.0.18
