Asked by

So i saw a video on loleris twitter about weapon animation Creator 3 he created and it exported an module script with table like this : return{Here is supposed to be Cframe data}, basically it's a table containing Cframe data, animation data etc, but how he did it i tried with loadstring with loadstringenabled = true and i can't seem to edit others script source code with other script, can any 1 give me small example code, how to edit others script source please?I searched wiki and there was article about it, but i guess its outdated and does't work that way anymore. I will be using the same method for my own animation plugin,and i heard plugin's have no problem using loadstring?

Plugins have different permissions and are able to access a scripts source . A normal script cannot access the scripts source.

This is because the it is a ProtectedString. For normal script you can use loadstring that would take string and run it, the scripts source code does not change rather you are just executing the code passed to it.

As you are using a plugin you are able to access a scripts source code, e.g:-

view source
1-- example only
2local function mkModule(name, par, source)
3      local tmp = Instance.new('ModuleScript', par)
4      tmp.Name = name
5      tmp.Source = source
6end
7 
8-- run example
9mkModule('test', game.Workspace, 'print("test")')

I hope this helps.
