game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
Player.Chatted:connect(function(Message)
if(string.sub(1, 5) == ':kill')then
local Victim = string.sub(7, string.len(Message));
if(game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(Victim))then
game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(Victim):BreakJoints()
print 'Killed Victim.'

Thanks it worked,

:connect() works just fine, I don't need you to lecture me on deprecation. There's absolutely no difference between the two. |
|
|
connect is deprecated.
Connect isn’t
If you want to become a programmer you need to stop using deprecated functions etc.
Roblox probably spends some time before they make so it doesn’t work anymore and will just error.
In NodeJS and modules if stuff are deprecated and will not work anymore.
So you better get used to not using deprecated functions. |
|
|
actually they probably will never make it not work because they probably just do this
Connect = codeForConnectingEventsHere
connect = Connect --[[for compatibility]] |

You're okay using the deprecated version for at least another half a decade. The only reason for the deprecation is to stay consistent with their naming convention. |
|
|
Alright, I’ll start using KeyDown again, because it’s obviously no difference to use that instead of UserInputService.InputBegan |
|
|
There actually is a difference in the way they function though you dingbat. |
|
|
Obviously not, better start using your 128 gigabytes to something useful |
|
|
Yes, :connect() is indeed deprecated,
But still useable, so i am using it for my comfortness,
Once it doesn't get usable anymore,
I will change my code very easily with the replace tool,
No worries.
And yes, KeyDown functions other than InputBegan.. |
|
|
I have no idea what you are revering to with 'obviously not' because there is an obvious differences between the 2 you said are interchangeable, for one keydown does not pass the gameProcessedEvent argument which for most use cases is needed to prevent you from accidentally doing things while typing.
If the only difference between the 2 was that one was called 'UserInputService' and the other was 'KeyDown' and they did the exact same thing, yes I would say user whichever one you want. |
|
|
Lmao you struggle to hit the shift button on your keyboard?
Better safe than sorry. |
|
|
'Once it doesn't get usable anymore'
Which will be, never.
Remove() has been deprecated since at least like 2011 |
|
|
'Lmao you struggle to hit the shift button on your keyboard?
Better safe than sorry.'
Again, no clue what you are referring to.
Are you blindfolding yourself and typing replies to what you think we are saying or actually reading our replies? |
|
|
Please don’t support others in saying using deprecated methods doesn’t matter. |
|
|
In this use case it matters very little, one reply saying to use it instead would have been fine. You posted 2 replies as if changing it would have an effect on the script.
I do agree it shouldn't be used, I don't agree that it matters as much as you seem to think. |
|
|
|
It doesn't though. I would be willing to bet that until the day roblox shuts down permanently, connect and Connect will both continue to work exactly the same as each other.
One was only decreased because roblox decided to make everything PascalCase instead of the mix of PascalCase and camelCase they have had for a long time. |
|
|
Of course it will last forever, but you shouldn’t use deprecated methods |

That's a stupid statement. If it works, and will always work exactly the same, it doesn't matter if it's deprecated. |
