Funny you should post something about that minutes after I ask about it, lol.
_G is a way to declare and index variables and functions throughout your entire place. If you declare a _G function in one script, and use it in another, the place will know what to do.
Format:
1 | _G['FunctionName'] = function (parameter) |
2 | --stuff |
3 | end |
Example:
1 | --Script 1 |
2 | _G{'AddNumbers'] = function (num1,num2) |
3 | return num1 + num2 |
4 | end |
5 |
6 | -- Script 2 |
7 | print (_G.AddNumbers (3,4)) |
Output will be 7

Mouse Sensitivity was probably a function the user on Youtube was trying to manipulate via _G functions. _G is not directly related to Mouse Sensitivity, but if you want, I can help you try to comprehend it if you post the code on a new thread. Maxomega3 106 — 10y

It should also be noted that LocalScripts cannot access the _G used by scripts. Articulating 1335 — 10y
