How to use the "_G" in the script editor ?

_G is a shared table. Accessible through all scripts in the game
_G.NAME_OF_VARIABLE = "VALUE"
e.g
_G.StringThatSaysHi = "Hi"
For a better visualization, think of it as a regular table
local myFruits = {}
myFruits.Apples = 2
myFruits.Bananas = 3

No, please no. Don't use _G, use ModuleScripts instead

Does hackers can acces to the _G ?
_G is a global table that is accessible from all scripts of its kind. The server and every client has their own _G table. You can't use it as your own variable because the script will think that you're referencing the table.
If you wanted to make use of _G, you could store a variable or function from one script and quickly pass it to another, like this:
Server Script #1
_G.Money = 40
Server Script #2
print(_G.Money)
-- prints 40

Shouldn't use _G though. Use ModuleScripts instead

LocalScripts don't commnicate _G; although they're able to use it, they don't share it with each other like with server scripts.

It seemed to work for me a while ago, hm
