Setting an attribute

Setting an attribute

This guide shows you how to set an attribute for any Roblox instance. Beginning with PVC’s MT4 series, this method has been adopted for changing alarm parameters such as tone and strobe intensity (some models only), instead of using the traditional method of havivng all parameters defined in a script. This allows developers to more easily make use of services like CollectionService, if necessary, while maintaining individuality between multiple alarms.

Prerequisites

You will need:

  • Roblox Studio
    • Object Explorer panel
    • Properties panel

Already have these? Skip to the main section.

Assumptions

This guide assumes you are not enrolled in the Next Generation Studio Preview beta, but if you are, the instructions here should be mostly similar.

Steps

Toggle the Object Explorer panel

On the ribbon, in the View group, click the Explorer button. Alternatively, you can press Alt+X (Windows) or Option+X (macOS).

Toggle the Properties panel

On the ribbon, in the View group, click the Properties button.

Setting an attribute

Select the desired instance in the viewport or the Object Explorer. The instance’s properties appear in the Properties panel. If necessary, scroll down to the Attributes section. Set the desired attributes.
