What is Services?

Asked by 10 years ago

I've learned so much in Lua. But the only thing i haven't learned is Services. What is the point of them? What would big developers like Loleris or Clonetrooper use them for? I mean, if i need to store scripts server-side i put it in ServerStorage .

Services will contain different stuff the ROBLOX servers need while the game is running. Workspace, Lighting and StarterGui are services, too! ServerStorage is usually used for storing Instances you don't need at the moment (gaming maps, for example) If you want a full list of services, go to the full list on ROBLOX Wiki.

A Service is a top-level singleton class in the Roblox Data Model. This means that it will appear as a root-level node in the Treeview Explorer in Roblox Studio.

Many service-level objects such as the Players, Teams, and Workspace are used as containers for other objects in the level.

The source of this is from the Wiki.

Hope it helps :)

Swrvices are basically anything on the ROBLOX explorer tab e.g. Lighting,starter pack,startergui,replicated first the list goes on. Services are usually used for maps, minigames ans more for more information please check the wiki. Because I've checked on TouTube when I was a begginer and the was simply no tutorials. Hope this helps
