It breaks scripts. [2]
It screws up dot notation.
game.Players.cyber.squat is not only confusing, but could possibly break the dot notation rule.
game.Players.cyber squat will be confused with two different statements
game.Players.cyber_sqat looks ugly and can be confused.
"1dev2 "
" 1dev2"
"cybersquat_"
"cybersquat."
"cyber.squat"
"lol.eris"
"lol eris"
"lol_eris"

The search bar would be messed up.
A LOT of copiers/impersonators

You would of loved 2006, even though I never experienced it

no

you should use findfirstchild or players[playername]
also since obviously everyone who said that it breaks scripts is obviously an inadequate scripter, because
game.Workspace["This Is A Username"] would properly reference it |
|
|
It messes with scripts to have usernames with spaces, periods or underscores.
They were removed for a multitude of reasons, why would they be brought back? |

The dot notation is far more time efficient than FindFirstChild. It's also widely used across many programming languages, so most scripters will probably use it. |

I use findfirstchild in a ton of scripts...
You can have spaces in model names and not break. |

I see names with spaces in them all the time, in-game or not. |
|

I don't want to start using a whole new programming concept just because of this feature.

Breaks skriptz 'n maiks kopirs |

Support, if it is limited to the space has to be between two characters that are not a space, period, or something like that. This solves most impersonation problems. |

"A whole new programming concept"
I guarantee you that every front page game with a good scripter has at least one FindFirstChild.
FFC has tons of great usage, for instance, it can tell the user if something isn't there, thus allowing you to do:
plr=game.Players:FindFirstChild("Player")
if plr then
plr:Kick("Sorry.")
end
Whereas if you did
plr=game.Players.Player
plr:Kick("Sorry.")
might cause an issue. From the standpoint of ROBLOX developers, it might change a few lines of code, and that's about it. It would also allow for more customization of your name and such. |
|
|
It would screw up existing code and code in models. I don't want to go back and change everything just because of this update. |
|
|
cyber who even references individuals as 'game.Workspace.playername' anyways |
|
|
I think it was removed so users couldn't impersonate others |
