Roblox Studio : today about Roblox!

Roblox is quite simple for a basic creator, but it can create more complicated content, but with source code complexity and the addition of custom 3D models. At the moment, from my point of view, it is in stagnation and the documentation and the changes implemented at the level of websites can put the creator in difficulty. For example, a place added to the basic mini game can only be accessed from the basic settings on the Roblox.Com - Inventory - Places page, and some uploaded models can no longer be deleted, which will fill your inventory with all kinds of custom objects in work. News would be at the Blender 3D software level, where two addons appeared, but not very well documented.

    var fileSizeBytes = file.getSize();
    var fileSizeKB = fileSizeBytes / 1024; // Convertim dimensiunea în KB
    data.push([file.getName(), fileSizeKB]);
  }

  // open Google Sheet
  var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Drive Usage Report');
  if (!sheet) {
    sheet = spreadsheet.insertSheet('Drive Usage Report');
  }

  // clean sheet
  sheet.clear();

  // write values
  sheet.getRange(1, 1, data.length, data[0].length).setValues(data);

  // clean charts from Google Sheets
  var charts = sheet.getCharts();
  for (var i = 0; i < charts.length; i++) {
    sheet.removeChart(charts[i]);
  }

  // create and add the Pie Chart with all values
  var chart = sheet.newChart()
    .asPieChart()
