Any chance of the following APIs in the form they are explained and/or in a similar fashion?
- ROBLOX-to-Twitter API - register a Twitter account to your ROBLOX account, be able to be prompted to update your status in-game
player:PromptForTwitter(string)
- ROBLOX-to-Facebook API - see above, but with FACEBOOOOK!!
- ROBLOX-to-ROBLOX-status-updates API - basically, be prompted to update your status
player:PromptForStatusUpdate(string)
- Updated social API - I've already seen stuff for FR's in the official ROBLOX map, but prompting to send PMs in-game, and the sort are a possibility too?
player:PromptForFriendRequest(otherplayer, string)
player:PromptForPersonalMessage(otherplayer, string)
- Updated group API -
Workspace.getGroupImage(groupid),
player:getPrimaryGroup(),
player:getRankInGroup(groupid, ranknumber/string),
player:ChangeGroupRank(group, ranknumber/string) - (which would have to be enabled on the group page and the sort) etc.
(also while we're on the subject, a permanent exile feature!)
Yes. Okay?

Clarification:
GetRankInGroup should be
GetRankInGroup(groupid) |
|
|
What do you mean 'string'? The ranks are 0 - 255... |

Pretty sure they have strings associated with them too, bro. |
|
|
And I am prety sure it would be less laggy to just use teh numerical rank. |

Uhm, I don't think lag is really an issue... you're still just accessing a variable from a database, it's not as if it makes any difference if you're calling a string or an integer... |
|
|
Why do IsInGroup, IsFriendsWith and IsBestFriendsWith all except ONLY Integers?
Well, I can think of a number of reasons. But lag is probably one of them. |

I don't think lag is a big one, but okay. |

Ew, now we will add Twitter to ROBLOX?
NO!
No support for any of them because of that.
I hated all this new connecting to FaceBook crap. |

@yugiohfandude
Why would a Twitter API be bad? |

Player:getRankStr() |

Oh god no. Not ANOTHER social update.
