`loadstring` can't be run on the client; please do some research. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Global_namespace/Basic_functions#loadstring TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 6y

You cannot use loadstring() in LocalScripts.
What script builders do is they make an api on own web hosts which uploads a LocalScript with the specified source as a model to roblox using a dummy account, and then returns the model id which can be used with LoadAsset() or require() (if they make it a ModuleScript with a LocalScript parented to it).

It is also possible to make your own code compiler, which some admin models have done. mattscy 3725 — 6y
