How can I make LoadString turn a String into a Script?
So I was reading the Wiki on "LoadStrings" and it says you can convert a string value into a LUA code. So what I wanted to do was make a TextBox where the Player can write a LUA script in there, and make a LoadString script run it. But I don't know how to... And the script examples on the Wiki give me a error.

Did you try searching your problem on the site before asking this question? Just searching loadstring I found a lot of examples. OldPalHappy 1477 — 7y

Loadstring is recommended against to use, as it has vulnerabilities. TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 7y

Enable loadstring from the ServerScriptService, and call something like this.
local MyCodeString = [[
for i=1,10 do
print(i)
end
]]
loadstring(MyCodeString)()
Just a heads up, Loadstring makes your place EXTREMELY vulnerable to hackers. Suggest to NOT USE LOADSTRING. (Atleast not in published work.)

There are instances where loadstring can be used safely, I believe. But overall I agree. OldPalHappy 1477 — 7y
