Is it possible to convert strings into Lua code?

Asked 634 views2 answers

Is it possible to convert strings into Lua code? I'm wondering if this is possible because I see in things like ScriptBuilder places it uses chat to create a script, but as far as I know the function used for that creates a string instead of actual code. So does anyone know if it's even possible?

EDIT: If you know how then please post it in your answer, thx :D

It is possible, but Roblox has done an Update where you can not do it Client-Sided [From a Player], only Server-Sided now [Like in the Workspace].

It can be done server-side, but you must enable a LoadString property which is pretty clear in ServerScriptService.

loadstring("print('Testing')")
