catalog's Issues

Lightning McQueen Companion does not do anything

https://www.roblox.com/catalog/790979662/Lightning-McQueen-Companion

This gear tries to insert a model and fails because the model is not for sale: https://www.roblox.com/library/787396013/Lightning-Companion. The model should probably be placed inside the gear.

HTTP 409(HTTP/1.1 409 User is not authorized to access Asset.)

Error using Pizza Sword

https://www.roblox.com/catalog/602146440/Pizza-Sword

Errors:

Players.Player1.BACKPACK.PizzaSword.LocalScript:299: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)
Players.Player1.PizzaSword.GunAnimation:340: attempt to compare a number with nil

Pizza Kunai does nothing

https://www.roblox.com/catalog/553937189/Pizza-Kunai
Clicking doesn't do anything. It should throw one or more knives.

Error with iLiftThree

https://www.roblox.com/catalog/743692715/iLift-Three
Players.Player1.Backpack.iLift3.Script:131: attempt to call method 'FindFirstChild' (a nil value)
This happens because script is calling FindFirstChild on a string.

Need info on backwards compatibility for movers

I'm thinking of fixing some gears here. One thing is a lot of them use the old body movers, and I was wondering if I should update them to the new movers or just leave them be.

The problem i'm facing is, if I update gear to new movers, they will not work as intended when people bring them to non-PGS games, however, according to the blog post on new movers they offer "dramatically improved performance", and even though the old movers aren't marked as deprecated in the API yet, I believe they are implied as deprecated.

I would like some input from the ROBLOX staff on this issue, for now I won't touch movers.

Carrot Slingshot fails to load module

https://www.roblox.com/catalog/738924664/Carrot-Slingshot
Unable to find module for asset id
CarrotSlingshot.Script, Line 15: MultiModule = require(187435014)

Modules required by gear items are not included in this repository

These should be added so that all gear can be fixed/changed here.

"Multi Purpose module" extremely monolithic

https://www.roblox.com/library/191816425/Multi-Purpose-Module is a module found in a great many gears, which just have a script in them to require this and get their functionality from it.

I believe it is a very problematic solution as the module is owned by StarWars, an intern, (not a ROBLOX staff member) and should be separated into the gear assets themselves or into other separate modules that encompass only gear of the same type with similar code, and these new modules owned by the ROBLOX account.

It's really concerning that so many gears have such barebones scripts and are all grouped into one single module.
