To run a server script from a pastebin url, you can use HttpService:GetAsync() and loadstring()

local url = "http://pastebin.com/raw/blabla"
local content = game:GetService("HttpService"):GetAsync(url, true)
local f,e = loadstring(content)
if f and not e then
    spawn(f)
else
    warn("Syntax error:",e)
end

However, in order to run a custom LocalScript at runtime, you can't use loadstring()

What Void SB does is they made an API which uses an alt account on roblox and makes it upload the LocalScript with the specified source as a model, which is then loaded via require() (or InsertService:LoadAssetVersion(), not sure, would have to ask tusk) and ran on the player.

Ok thx andrewcooke582 -52 — 6y
