Why do I need to use the function GetService()?
I know a bit of python and how to import modules into code such as import random. This essentially imports bits of prewritten code and functions into your game such as: print(random.randint(25,50)). The imported function is random.randint(25,50) which generates a random number between 25,50. The thing I want to know is, is GetService() the same thing as the import?
Does GetService() import prewritten functions into your game, and if not, why are they needed? Thanks in advance.

It creates or gets the service safely, it is commonly used on the client side as it is possible to change the name of a service which could break scripts. User#5423 17 — 7y

There is a function called FindService which is not commonly used but will return nil if the service has not been created. User#5423 17 — 7y
