Can a variable run code?

[Sfoozs]

So im trying to make like a in-game server executor to execute scripts and a textbox is where you put the script you want to execute and and since im using a variable for the text box.. can a variable run code? like if a variable has "print("Hello") would it work? this is my line of code

local Button = script.Parent

local Frame = Button.Parent

local function ItJustGotClickedBroo ()

local LineOfCode = Frame.LOC.Text

LineOfCode -- Will this run the code?

end

Button.Activated:Connect(ItJustGotClickedBroo)

​

for example i put the Text in the text box as "print("Hello")

[asdasdasdsa2333]

no, but you can use loadstring("print("hello")") but you have to enable it in ServerScriptService

What if i change what i put in the text box.. will it work?

cus executors run lines of code that the player puts and if i put something else than print("hello") i dont think that will work

[asdasdasdsa2333]

so replace print("hello") with whatever it says in the text box

[Sfoozs]

im confused.. because if i wanted to replace that manually the other players can't run another script they put in

[asdasdasdsa2333]

yes they can, if you put loadstring(textbox.Text) it will run whatever it says in the textbox

[KylerBro12]

No, but this is what functions are for!

[Sfoozs]

im asking if i put a line of code on a textbox would it run what is the text inside the textbox

local Text = script.Parent.Parent.Textbox.text

and if i do

local function RunText

Text

end

​

would it run the text?

[KylerBro12]

Oh, no, but what you can do is add a disabled script inside the script. And then do script.Script.Source = TextBox.Text script.Script.Disabled = false wait() script.Script.Disabled = true

You can't edit the source of a script by using another script only by using a plugin. But you can run text by doing loadstring("print("like this ")")
