Don't do that. Roblox studio will crash. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

The "Source" can only be accessed in the command bar or in a plugin environment, all other access is blocked for good reasons. User#5423 17 — 7y

Sources cannot be set with a script, however, you can with command bar or studio property panel. What I am assuming what you want done, is to run a custom string in Lua. For that, we will need loadstring. For example, you could make a remote event and a client fires it.
1 | game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('SentCode' --[[or the remote name]]).OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, code) |
2 | pcall(function() |
3 | loadstring(code)() --MAKE SURE YOU DON'T FORGET THE TWO PARENTHESIS AT THE END, I DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU NEED THEM BUT WITHOUT THEM THE CODE DOES NOT RUN. |
4 | end) |
5 | end) |
If you are trying to do something else, please put a comment and tell me what u want to happen.
