loadstring() not working?

Asked 1,211 views1 answers

I am using loadstring() to calculate stuff in my calculator script. I have loadstring enabled in ServerScriptService but when I publish the place and join it it says loadstring not enabled/available.

			local calculation = Display.Text
			local function calculate(calc)
   				local calculated = loadstring("return "..calculation)() -- <-------
    			return calculated
			end
			if string.sub(calculation, 1, 1) == "=" then
				calculation = string.sub(calculation, 2, string.len(calculation))
			end
			Display.LASTCALC.Text = calculation
			Display.Text = "="..calculate(calculation)

You know you can edit your question right? By the way, Loadstring is disabled by default and is slowly heading toward deprecation. You can enable loadstring by going to ServerScriptService, and setting LoadStringEnabled to true.
