Template talk:Service

One big flaw

"you have to call it with ..."
'...' is nothing. Wouldn't our viewers want to know what to call it with? --Blocco 21:19, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

That better? ---Mr Doom Bringer 20:01, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Yeah. Thanks. --Blocco 20:36, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Except that it's wrong. How about "Game:GetService(...)"? :) --GoldenUrg 03:40, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Hmm... didn't see that. GoldenUrg is right. It's either Game:Service("name") or Game:GetService("name"). --Blocco 16:08, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

RunService creates a new service, which you must do in order to create the service. This is what I thought we were referencing as opposed to "Instance.new", which will not work with a Service. GetService will return a service with the name argument, however the service must be running first. For example, the Debris service is not by default running, therefore to create it in a script you must call it with RunService. ---Mr Doom Bringer 17:59, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

RunService is, by itself, a service. RunService deals with running, pausing and stopping the game. Game::RunService is not valid, according to the Object Browser. I would use Game::service. --Blocco 22:20, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

On the production servers, I get an error "RunService is not a valid member of DataModel", if this is something on test servers I don't think we should put it on the wiki yet. GetService already creates the service if it didn't exist or returns it otherwise (that's why you don't just index Game).
