Addons

Addons are a powerful way to add functionality to the terminal, they are used to create the config panel, ui and start/end screens.

Installing addons​

Want to install an addon into your terminal

Follow these steps:

Insert the addon model into your game​

Create an Addons folder inside the terminal's main folder if not present and place your addon inside it.

Configure the terminal

Load the addon inside the Server​

Add a :AddAddon() call in the server script referencing the module:

wrapper:AddAddon(script.Parent.Addons["My Addon"])
You're done

The addon should now be loaded and active.

Creating addons​

Addons are defined as modulescripts

Addon module structure​

local Addon = {}

-- Array of instances that will be placed in game.ReplicatedStorage.Libraries
-- If a duplicate is found, it will be ignored
Addon.Libraries = script.Libraries:GetChildren()

Addon.init = function(wrapper)
    -- Function ran once supplied with the terminal wrapper
end

return Addon
Editing default addons

It is not recommended to edit the default addons, instead copy them and edit the copy then load the copy instead of the default addon.

Example​

Here is an example of a simple addon that changes a part's color based on ther terminal's state:

Code
local MapEventAddon = {}

MapEventAddon.Libraries = script.Libraries:GetChildren()

MapEventAddon.init = function(wrapper)
    wrapper.terminal.events.stateChanged.Event:Connect(function(newState)
        local colors = {
            attackers = Color3.new(1, 0, 0.0156863),
            defenders = Color3.new(0.0313725, 0, 1),
            neutral = Color3.new(1, 1, 1),
            locked = Color3.new(0.419608, 0.419608, 0.419608)
        }
    workspace.TERMINALZONE.Color = colors[newState]
    end)
end

return MapEventAddon
